The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　There will be no error.

　From applying the elven honey to depicting the No. 1 transmutation circle, the experiment proceeded smoothly as expected.

　Dark checked the status of the magic cards one last time before activating the first transmutation circle.

　With the successful activation of Alchemy Array No. 1, the entire experiment was left with only the final addition and absorption/refining of materials.

　Dak picked up the juice of the Fruit of Greed, shook it slightly, and the blue-purple juice swirled like a nebula.

　He tilted the beaker and slowly poured the juice into the light array of Transmutation Array No. 1.

　The light array flashed rapidly, absorbing and refining the juice.

　Once all the juice had been poured in and the light array had gradually stabilized, he removed the [Ancient Gold Coin] from the potion, shook it dry, and directly...

　It was placed into the alchemy array!

　This ancient gold coin, dating back to the prehistoric era, features a half-length portrait of a king on the obverse and inscriptions resembling gold lettering on the reverse.

　The value of the tower's architecture has long surpassed that of the gold coins themselves.

　The historical sedimentation and the imprint of civilization, after being refined by the No. 1 alchemy array, were all transformed into the constituent elements of the magical spirits.

　Soon after.

　The No. 1 transmutation array emitted an extremely dazzling golden light, illuminating the surrounding area in a golden hue.

　The completed magic card was then wrapped in golden threads transformed from golden light, forming a golden cocoon of light.

　Dark reached out and touched it, infusing it with magic.

　As a large amount of magic was absorbed, the light on the surface of the cocoon gradually stabilized.

　Dak's expression turned slightly serious.

　He could sense that this time the process of refining the material was going smoothly as well.

　A brand new magical spirit is being born.

　This gave him a sense of solemnity in creating life.

　He had never felt so solemn during the creation of magical spirits in the past.

　But as he grew closer to the magical spirits, he could no longer regard them as pseudo-living beings like golems.

　life body.

　A change in perception will ultimately lead to change.

　The magical spirits, who had been observing his experiment, suddenly sensed something and almost simultaneously focused their gaze on the cocoon of light.

　The focus shifted to him, her eyes revealing confusion, doubt, infatuation, and contemplation.

　Dak pulled a mercury knife from the tool rack, aimed it at the center line of the cocoon, and carefully cut it open.

　It's like having a C-section.

　sacred.

　Sublime.

　Golden light shone continuously from the cut-open slit.

　When the entire cocoon was split in two, the light cocoon suddenly turned into liquid gold, which was then immediately absorbed by the magic card without leaving a trace of impurity.

　No rinsing is required; the magical spirit on the card is clearly visible, with a golden halo surrounding it, signifying its rarity and preciousness.

　The newly born magical spirit, Meowth, is the embodiment of greed and gold, a combination of cunning and intelligence, and possesses a strong sense of self-respect.

　Dark couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

　This is an answer that aligns with his vision.

　But it is subtly different from his original idea.

　Because this cat was a gray-skinned creature he didn't recognize!

　Card Name: Meow Meow

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　[Level: Major Skill 0]

　[Race: Bird-Beast]

　[Type: Dark]

　【Magic Power: 1500】

　[Attack: 1500]

　[Defense: 900]

　[Ultimate Skills: Tech Expert, Treasure Gathering Skill, Thief, Fraud]

　The method used was [Bird Beast - Normal], but the final result was [Bird Beast - Dark].

　The subtle differences are just like the differences in their forms.

　In Dak's mind, a cat should be a cute and charming villain with light yellow fur.

　But the cat in front of us has gray fur, half-closed eyes, and a slightly upturned mouth, revealing a hint of contempt and cunning.

　"This appearance... could it be Ah-something-la's Meow Meow?"

　Pokémon can occasionally exhibit different regional forms depending on the local environment.

　Meowth in the Alola region is a Dark-type gray cat.

　Meowth in the Galar region is a Steel-type Meowth with a large face.

　Dak had only a vague understanding of this and could only guess based on his already somewhat hazy memories.

　His initial goal in crafting was to create a normal-type Meow Meow.

　However, the final result was unexpected and deviated from expectations.

　But Meowth from the Alola region seems to better fit his expectations of the personality of Spellcaster Pokémon.

　I don't know if it's good or bad.

　Seeing the wicked smile on Meow Meow's lips, Dark couldn't help but frown.

　[Two-in-one -]

Chapter 294 Darkdemon's Shifting Stars (4k)

　"That's fine."

　Dark picked up the [Meow Meow] magic card and accepted reality.

　If you don't like the coat color, you can dye it.

　If there are any issues with their personality, they can be corrected.

　Nothing is unchangeable.

　For magical spirits, the most important factors are attributes, stats, and skills.

　When a magical spirit uses a skill of the same attribute as itself, it has the ability to amplify its power.

　Therefore, the matching of attributes and skills is very important.

　Of Meowth's four special moves, Thief and Deception seem to be Dark-type!

　Dark input a wisp of magic into the [Meow Meow] magic card, and soon received a response.

　First of all.

　This is clearly a gold card!

　The golden halo surrounding the edge of the magic card is a symbol of its rarity.

　Second.

　This is a Samsung card!

　This was another unexpected point for Dac.

　He had assumed that magical spirits created using the Sin Fruit would be at least four stars. He never expected to actually get a three-star card this time!

　However, Samsung also has its advantages, which are very useful for enriching card decks.

　Moreover, the measurements of this [Meow Meow] are quite impressive.

　Although neither the magic attack nor defense has broken through the limit, it wins in terms of balance.

　Theoretically capped magic power and attack stats shouldn't exist on a race like the Meowth that gives the impression of being weak.

　But in fact, Dark had already discovered that within the same tier, the star rating of magical spirits was more like a level in a game.

　This can be seen from the fact that Ditto can be upgraded in star level after using the Sin card.

　This [Meow Meow] has such high stats that it can be understood as having a very high level.

　This is similar to how Eevee can be upgraded to two stars after using [Sin].

　A level 50 Meow Meow and a level 10 Meow Meow will definitely have different stats.

　However, the power of a Magic Spirit Card ultimately depends on its ultimate move!

　Meow Meow, with its four special moves, has a significant advantage in this regard.

　If it possesses even one exceptional skill, it would be enough to make it a top-tier card among three-star cards.

　Dak examined it carefully.

　Of Meow Meow's four ultimate moves, apart from [Gathering Treasures], they are all relatively unfamiliar to him.

　【Gathering Treasures】 is probably the skill that best complements 【Greed】 and 【Ancient Gold Coins】, and it's also the skill he started with.

　They anticipated the appearance of the ultimate killing move.

　However, the description of the ultimate technique's effect seemed to differ slightly from what he had imagined.

　[Gathering Treasures: Meow Meow summons a large number of gold coins from the gold coins above its head and throws them at the opponent, dealing varying amounts of damage based on the number of coins.]

　【Treasure Gathering Skill (Additional Effect): Meow Meow attracts wealth and treasures, occasionally granting rare items.】

　"It's a throwing-type ultimate skill, but the damage is determined by the number of gold coins summoned."

　There's definitely a limit. From what I remember, "Gathering Treasure" wasn't a particularly powerful move; its power level in the Pokémon games seems to be only 40.

　Dak couldn't help but start thinking about it.

　"Basically, this kind of ultimate move is not even as good as a normal attack from a magical spirit. At most, it's just a change from melee to ranged."

　"This means that this ultimate technique is only good for scraping in most cases."

　"But its core is clearly not in the attack, but in the subsequent [Wealth and Treasure] effect."

　"Meow Meow brings wealth and treasures; occasionally you'll obtain rare items. What exactly does this mean?"

　"Is it a windfall, or will I just find money on the street?"

　"I have a feeling that this might be a surprise."

　But just thinking about it won't help.

　He temporarily suppressed his desire to immediately verify the information and continued to look at the next ultimate technique.

　【Tech Expert】is a passive skill derived from Meowth's characteristics, similar to Sylveon's 【Charming Body】 and Miltank's 【Herbivore】.

　[Tech Expert: Meow Meow is a natural-born tech expert. When using a less powerful special move, its power is increased by 50%.]

　"Is this what a tech expert is like?"

　"I guess the Treasure Gathering Skill is considered a relatively weak finishing move!"

　"If we calculate it, the power of the [Gathering Treasures Technique] will increase by 50%, going from 4 to 0, hahaha."

　Dak chuckled twice, then fell into deep thought.

　"The name of this ultimate skill, 'Technical Master,' likely indicates that Meow Meow possesses extremely high technical talent!"

　Dark couldn't help but think of that special Meowth from Pokémon, which could not only talk but also control...
