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

　Meanwhile, the trash slime, which was playing with Ditto, kept glancing this way, because it was clearly one of the beneficiaries as well.

　In addition, little Ibuki was holding an astrology book and would occasionally look up.

　It knew it would gain a new evolutionary form, but it was slightly confused about the evolutionary choice of "Greed 3".

　What form does "Greed 3" correspond to?

　……

　Sensing the anticipation of the magical elves, Dark picked up the prepared apple juice and drank it down in one gulp, instantly feeling refreshed.

　He then immediately began refining "Greed 3" according to the familiar steps.

　The whole process went relatively smoothly. In less than an hour, a card with 10 points of "Greed 3" invested in it was quietly lying on the lab table.

　The card "Greed 3" has a deep blue-black color. If you look closely, you can see a hint of purple, which is the hidden "Greed" emblem.

　Staring at this card of grave sins for even a little while will give rise to a sense of greed.

　It arises spontaneously.

　"Success!"

　Dak couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

　Every time he crafted a Great Sin Card, he kept his nerves on edge.

　After all, every "major sin" is so precious.

　"So, who wants to try first?"

　After picking up "Greed 3", Dark turned around with a smile and glanced at the magical spirits.

　"Daddy?" The vampire heiress pouted and glanced this way, then her sister Gatomon slapped her hand on the back of her hand.

　She made a "hmm" sound and quickly turned back to stare at the book, but her long, pointed ears were clearly perked up.

　You won't let me see it, but you won't let me hear it either? Humph!

　At the same time, the cat, who had been holding back for a long time, quickly raised its paws, its face full of desire.

　Unsatisfied: "Meow meow meow, meow meow meow!"

　The other magical spirits seemed a bit uneasy, with Devimon even turning its gaze away, clearly not wanting to be the first to try something new.

　Since it was unwilling, and Dark wasn't a devil, he waved to Meow Meow.

　Meow was overjoyed, and even opened her droopy eyelids slightly.

　It put the carving knife and the little wooden figure on the table, then ran and jumped into Dak's arms, sat on its lap, tilted its head back, and rubbed its palm hard.

　Dak rubbed its head, thinking how wonderful it was to have a catfish willingly taking the bait.

　Of course, he is also very much looking forward to the evolution of Meow Meow.

　"In the name of Dark Demon, Summon Magic!"

　……

　As the Normal Summoning was completed, a deep dark blue light suddenly emanated from the card art of "Greed 3".

　The entire bedroom was bathed in this dark blue light, as if draped in a hazy veil, with a somber, yearning atmosphere.

　The magical spirits caught in the corner of their eye couldn't help but feel greedy.

　But they had all anticipated this to some extent, and they all focused their minds and suppressed the rising desires in their hearts.

　see.

　Only the vampire heiress, with her naive heart, was quickly swayed by greed.

　My eyes were blinded.

　"Wow!"

　She suddenly turned around and hugged Gatomon, rubbing her soft face against Gatomon's face desperately—this was her long-cherished wish for days!

　Although Gatomon looked disgusted, it didn't move away. Instead, it grabbed her with both hands and held her in place to prevent her from running away and interfering with the experiment.

　On Dak's knee, the emblem of "greed" had appeared in the gold coin on Meow Meow's forehead. The dark blue light was sucked in like a whale sucking water, causing the gold coin to be dyed a deep blue color!

　The next instant, Meow Meow was enveloped in the light of evolution.

　Its body rapidly elongated in the light, its size continuously increasing, and in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a large, slender cat!

　Dark felt a sinking sensation in his knees, and "Meow Meow" had successfully evolved into "Boss Cat"!

　It still has the same light gray fur as when it was a kitten. But the quality of the fur has obviously improved, and it feels even softer than the finest velvet.

　After evolving, the cat boss looks more like a female lion. The gold coin on its head has turned into a dark blue bead, and its face and ears have become extremely round. Its eyes are half-open and half-closed, and its pupils are very small, not much different from when it was still Meow Meow.

　Although this cat boss looked slightly different from the ordinary cat bosses that Dak remembered, he certainly wouldn't dislike it because of its round face.

　The longer you look at this round face, the more it gets kind of adorably ugly.

　The first-evolutionary feline leader couldn't control its greedy desires.

　As Wang lay on Dak's lap, he couldn't help but reach out his claws to grab the drawer of the lab table.

　Dark casually scooped its paw back, pressed it on its paw pad, and then used his other hand to inject magic into "Meow Meow's" magic card, receiving feedback.

　Card Name: Cat Boss

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Bird-Beast]

　[Type: Dark]

　【Magic Power: 2500】

　[Attack: 2200]

　[Defense: 2500]

　[Special Moves: Fur Coat, Taunt, Guard, Deception]

　"hiss--"

　Dark quickly glanced at it and got a general understanding of the cat boss's racial attributes and stats.

　Cat Boss and Dream Demon are both five-star—this was expected.

　But the proportions of Cat Boss's body were unexpected.

　"If I remember correctly, Meowth wasn't a defense-specialized magic Pokémon, but rather a speed-specialized one... When it was still Meowth, it only had 900 defense. How did it evolve into such a tanky Pokémon?"

　Dak couldn't resist touching the cat's fur, which was softer than velvet.

　"With its top-tier, maxed-out magic power and defense, and slightly weaker attack, this cat boss becomes a standard five-star tank. Add to that its four ultimate skills..."

　Dark first looked at the passive skill that should be transformed from the characteristic - "Fur Coat".

　[Fur Coat: The cat boss's thick, smooth fur reduces damage taken, halving the damage dealt to it during combat.]

　"Instead of the 'Technical Master,' is it replaced by the 'Fur Coat'? This 'Fur Coat' is clearly a defensive divine skill, just like 'Spherical Transformation.' Let me take a closer look."

　"The 'Circle' ability doubles the defense, while the 'Fur Coat' ability halves the damage. The former is significantly more powerful, but the latter is not weak either."

　"Thanks to the 'Fur Coat,' Boss Cat's MT (Main Tank) abilities have at least doubled!"

　"With this passive skill, coupled with the next ultimate move 'Taunt'..."

　[Taunt: Provokes the opponent, enraging them. For thirty seconds, the opponent can only use a damaging special attack and will only attack the Cat Boss.]

　"Thirty seconds is one round."

　"You can only use special moves that inflict damage; in other words, you cannot use special moves that involve transformation."

　"It's a pity that this provocation seems to be a single-target ultimate move. It would be even better if it could taunt all enemies."

　Dark suddenly realized that he was being a bit greedy.

　He smiled and looked at the next ultimate move—"Defend".

　[Protect: For 1 seconds, enter a protected state, completely blocking the opponent's attacks and becoming unaffected by most special moves. If used consecutively within one hour, the success rate of each subsequent use will decrease to the previous one.]

　"It's actually 'Defend'!"

　"The combination of 'Provocation' and 'Defend' results in a full thirty seconds of strong single-target crowd control."

　"Good guy!"

　Dak suddenly lifted the cat boss up, pinched its big, round face with both hands and pulled it outwards, making its face even bigger and flatter, a comical yet helpless expression.

　If the "fur coat" is a divine defensive skill, then "holding on" is the divine skill among divine skills.

　Furthermore, "Protect" is a common and powerful move that almost all magical Pokémon can learn.

　If we can use the "Special Move Card" to extract "Protect" from the Cat Boss...

　Using a "Special Move: Protect" will save a Pokémon from dying for thirty seconds.

　Of course, "Defend" is not invincible, and there are many types of special moves that can be effective against "Defend".

　For example, the environmental changes brought about by "venue cards" cannot be "preserved".

　This largely depends on the form of "Defend." It's not a 360° all-around "Defend," but rather a barrier-like skill that provides frontal defense. Therefore, it cannot block the effects of field cards that act in all directions.

　In addition, special moves like "Blow Away" are effective ways to counter "Defend".

　But this still doesn't change the fact that "Defend" is a super defensive skill.

　Reality.

　"I just don't know how high the tolerance limit is for 'holding'?"

　In the real world, a barrier-type ultimate move cannot be without a limit to its resistance; the only difference is how high that limit is.

　The upper limit of "holding" may be very high, but we still need to test it to know.

　As Dark pondered finding a time to test it, he looked toward the final, deadly move.

　[Deception: Using the opponent's strength against them, attacking by borrowing their power. The higher the opponent's attack level, the greater the power!]

　It's still a "fraud"!

　Having this Dark-type special move means that Persian is not just a tank; it also possesses powerful means to defeat its enemies.

　……

　"not bad."

　Dak couldn't help but repeatedly pinch and roll the cat's round face, finding its chubby cheeks increasingly pleasing to the eye.

　"Meow……"

　The "greed" surging in the cat's heart was forcibly crushed away.

　In short, Dacker didn't give it any time to work out and started recording the experimental results with it in hand.

　Fifteen minutes later, the cat boss was forced to regress into a cat, then collapsed, limp and lifeless, hanging on Dark's lap.

　Dark looked up at the time; it was about 9:45. He then prepared to wait until the cooldown of "Greed 3" was over before proceeding with the next experiment.

　Based on a one-hour cooldown, it will take at least four more hours to complete the necessary number of experiments. The next Pokémon, Saber Sheath, Eevee, and Trash Slime are all waiting in line.

　……

　But an hour was actually enough to wear down the magic spirits' enthusiasm.

　When the one-hour cooldown was over, it was almost 10:30. But the magical spirits had all dispersed, focusing on their own tasks.

　Therefore, when Dak solicited volunteers for the experiment again, only a pitiful-looking Meow Meow raised her eyelids and glanced at him.

　He touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and then forcefully designated the next test subject—Devimon!

　"I'm coming."

　The little devilmon flew over lazily, but didn't seem very afraid.

　Because Meow Meow has already set a good example by taking the lead, it instinctively feels that "Greed 3" is more reliable than "Pride 3" or "Elysium 3" and is less likely to make a fool of itself.
