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

　Afterwards, his brow relaxed, and he gained a more detailed understanding of the magical recovery rate provided by the fragrance of this healing flower.

　"The 'Magical Secretary' has a star rating of two, and the 'Little Devimon' has a star rating of one... In other words, the fragrance of this healing flower can increase the mana regeneration rate of the magical spirits belonging to the Paradise by the same amount as their star rating."

　"Although it is slightly different from what we expected, this extra increase is exactly in line with the natural consumption of magical spirits."

　"This means that as long as the fragrance of the healing flower permeates the area, the magical spirit can continue to exist as long as it does not misuse its magic."

　Dak couldn't help but smile.

　At least he did achieve his initial goal of choosing the "Healing Flower" as the core material.

　Next, we will test another additional effect added by [Paradise 2.0].

　Yes, in addition to "Aromatherapy", this upgraded "Paradise" magic card has an extra effect!

　Dark couldn't help but look up at the "full moon" above the "night sky".

　In fact, Dark had already made a guess when he saw this full moon on the card art of the Magic Card, and now this is just further proof.

　Card Name: Paradise

　[Type: Venue Card]

　[Effect 1: Within the Paradise, all magical spirits belonging to the Paradise will gain a mana regeneration rate of 20 points per second.]

　[Effect 2: Within the Paradise, for each additional Magical Spirit belonging to the Paradise, Magic Attack and Defense increase by 100]

　【Effect 3: Within the Paradise, the summoning time of the Paradise's magical spirits is reduced by 1 second】

　[Effect 4: Grants the passive skill "Aromatherapy".]

　【Effect 5: Grants the passive skill "Elysium Moon".】

　Although the specific effects of the additional ultimate move "Moon of Bliss" (Effect 5) are unknown, its name alone suggests that it is an ultimate move related to "bliss".

　The two consecutive data entries, especially the second re-entry, seemed to have gradually shaped "Paradise" into his form.

　Among the twenty magical spirits recorded in "Paradise", those that are incarnations of "Elysium" clearly make up the majority. This may be because "Paradise" was first corrupted by "Elysium", rather than by "Pride" and "Greed".

　After a moment's thought, Dark summoned the "Fox Beast" to his side and said, "Try using its ultimate move and observe if there are any changes in its power."

　The fox beast nodded slightly, then silently walked forward, and then directly used its most direct and powerful finishing move—"Fox Leaf Wedge"!

　In the blink of an eye, a series of cyan-green vortexes appeared in the palm of the fox-like beast, from which sharp green leaves condensed.

　With a slight lift of its hand, the green leaves swept upwards like a whirlwind, slowly rotating clockwise in mid-air.

　Dark murmured, "Shoot it out and see."

　The fox beast suddenly waved its hand forward, and the green leaf's movement speed suddenly increased, shooting out towards the ground in front of it.

　"Bang bang bang!"

　Dozens of craters suddenly appeared on the ground.

　"How is it?" Dark asked.

　The fox-like beast shook its head and said, "Nothing has changed."

　Dark frowned and said, "If it doesn't increase the power of the ultimate move, what kind of passive effect does 'Moon of Bliss' have? Is it some kind of passive effect like 'Moonlight Burst'... Let me think... Could it be..."

　Dark had a sudden inspiration and immediately took out "Elysium 3" from his card pack, looking up at Renamon: "Get ready."

　After smelling the aura of "Paradise", the fox-like beast frowned deeply and hesitated.

　Clearly, its out-of-control behavior after yesterday's evolution has made it ashamed to try it again.

　However, it inwardly rejected the idea, but outwardly nodded indifferently.

　Dark smiled slightly and began to summon "Elysium 3".

　"In the name of Dark Deemon, evolve, Renamon!"

　Under the light of "Paradise", the body of the foxmon rapidly expanded, the light of evolution illuminated the night sky, and the nine-tailed foxmon, standing on blue flames, let out a soft howl and stood proudly.

　However, the nine-tailed fox's dashing pose lasted for less than half a second before it suddenly turned around and ran quickly toward Dark with cheerful little steps.

　Dark quickly stopped him, saying, "Nine-tailed fox beast!"

　Nine-tailed fox beast: "Eek!"

　Dark said helplessly, "Let's try the Ghost Fire Jade first and see if its power increases."

　The nine-tailed fox beast reluctantly turned around, its nine tails raised high, and blue ghost flames emerged from the tips of its tails, swirling around its body.

　Then, with a thought, a will-o'-the-wisp shot out and exploded on the ground in front of it.

　The single-shot power of "Will-o'-the-Wisp" is significantly stronger than that of "Fox Leaf Wedge". However, there is no essential difference compared to yesterday's test.

　Dark frowned slightly, then summoned Devimon and used "Elysium 3? Moon" to evolve it into "BlackGatomon".

　Then, using another "Elysium 3? Umbreon" card, I evolved Eevee into "Umbreon".

　However, even when Umbreon used its ultimate move "Moonlight," which is closely related to the power of the moon, under the "Elysium Moon," it did not feel any boost.

　After multiple verifications, Dark had to admit that the "Moon of Elysium" did not provide any apparent enhancement to the magical spirits.

　"If that's the case, then there's only one possibility left."

　He took a deep breath and then began to wait patiently.

　……

　The sun is setting and night is approaching.

　More than ten minutes have passed since the fox beast evolved into the nine-tailed fox beast.

　While holding the nine-tailed fox beast's head and kneading it flat and round, Dark estimated the time.

　"almost."

　As the fifteen-minute evolution time limit was about to expire, he immediately focused his attention and stared intently at the Nine-Tailed Fox Beast.

　But fifteen minutes later, another minute passed, and another minute passed, and another minute passed, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Beast still hadn't regressed!

　Dak was overjoyed, now certain of his guess.

　He then turned to look at BlackGatomon and Umbreon, and discovered that these two magical Pokémon had also not degenerated.

　"The results are quite clear; it seems the 'Moon of Elysium' is extending the evolution time. As for the extent of this extension, we'll have to wait and see."

　……

　As the night inside and outside the "Paradise" gradually synchronized, light suddenly emanated from the Nine-Tailed Fox Beast's body, and its enormous body rapidly shrank, finally reverting to the form of the Fox Demon Beast.

　With his arm around the rapidly reddening fox-like beast, Dark finally confirmed the specific effects of "Moon of Bliss".

　[Moon of Elysium: Under the illumination of the Moon of Elysium, the duration of the enhancement effects gained by the magical spirits of Paradise through the power of Elysium is doubled.]

　This means that a magical spirit that evolves using "Elysium" can gain a full thirty minutes of evolution duration as long as it is in "Paradise"!

　Although this effect has little significance in magic duels, it is of great importance in actual combat.

　Deck strength that relies on evolution to increase is inherently difficult to withstand continuous, prolonged battles.

　The effect of "Moon of Bliss" undoubtedly gave him more than twice the margin for error.

　After thinking it through, Dak couldn't help but smile.

　The additional effect of [Paradise 2.0] is to increase the duration of "Elysium" evolution. So what about 3.0, 4.0, 5.0...?

　"It should also increase the duration of other major sin evolutions, right?"

　He couldn't help but feel a great sense of anticipation.

　……

　That evening, Dark explained the upgrade effects of [Paradise 2.0] to Claire, and then began the final experiment with great excitement.

　The creation of the "Fox Beast" and the upgrade of the "Paradise" can both be considered very successful.

　But the process of creating "Pride 4" will not be so fortunate.

　Dark divided the 35 points of "Pride" he had painstakingly saved into two parts. One part was placed in a high-level mind bottle made from a branch of the Diesel Tree, while the other part was temporarily placed in a regular mind bottle.

　That is, one bottle is 30 points, and the other is 5 points.

　“按照迄今为止的规律进行推导，「傲慢1」需要1点「傲慢」，「傲慢2」需要3点「傲慢」，「傲慢3」需要10点「傲慢」。所以想要炼制「傲慢4」，必须要准备30点以上的「傲慢」。”

　"But simply having 30 points of 'Arrogance' is not enough."

　"Having an inexhaustible supply of 'Pride' would make the development of 'Pride 4' much smoother."

　"The current method of creating 'Emotion Cards' seems insufficient for crafting 'Pride 4.' However, the envisioned exclusive transmutation array remains elusive. If only we had a large quantity of 'Pride' cards to experiment with..."

　Dak took a deep breath, allowing his emotions to gradually calm down.

　Then he took out all the materials he had studied in his spare time recently.

　"Emotion Cards" are actually just a simplified version of magic cards. Among the various transmutation circles used to refine "Emotion Cards", there is no transmutation circle specifically designed to process emotions.

　Of course, there is no corresponding curse!

　Alvit's "Tri-Armed Transmutation Method" is based on a unique transmutation array.

　Claire's "Zoo" series is based on her own special spells.

　Basically, a unique transmutation circle or spell is necessary to create a magic card.

　However, the research on brain-related magical techniques by mages throughout history has been relatively weak. Dark had tried to find transmutation circles or spells that could be used as a reference, but to no avail.

　With his current level of knowledge, it is simply impossible for him to build a castle in the air.

　He needs the shoulders of a giant to step on.

　However, he was not entirely without direction.

　Among the information he has gathered so far, there happens to be something he can study.

　……

　A moment later, Dak unfolded an extremely long drawing on the table.

　This drawing has a length-to-width ratio of 10:1. It depicts a peasant woman immersed in the joy of harvest, a shepherd rolling among sheep, and a baby crying under the bright moon... From left to right, it forms an extremely long scroll.

　This is the mural that Dark recorded from the wall of the second Temple of the Moon!

　At first glance, this mural does not contain any incantations or magic circles. However, in the Temple of the Moon, it is carved in a circular structure on the temple wall, forming a ring that surrounds the statue of the Moon Goddess.

　Most importantly, it only exists in the second Temple of the Moon!

　This is the real reason why Dark initially noticed it and had the "Magic Book" record it.

　Compared to the first Temple of the Moon, this second Temple of the Moon is only more magnificent and has this additional mural.

　The result of this is that the two statues of the Moon Goddess are in completely different states.

　The goddess statue in the first Moon Temple cannot produce "Elysium" on its own; all of its "Elysium" is collected by the "Seafood Order".

　However, the goddess statue in the second Moon Temple was filled with a large amount of "Bliss" from the very beginning!

　According to the current interpretation of the Moon Goddess's soul, she did not have "bliss" within her body at birth; it was accumulated little by little over time.

　But she couldn't explain how those "blissful" experiences came about.

　Fortunately, Dark hadn't been counting on her in the first place, so he wasn't too disappointed.

　In short, without anyone else accidentally entering the second Temple of the Moon, the "Ecstasy" within the goddess statue could not have arisen out of thin air.

　After eliminating other possibilities, only one possibility remains.

　The reason why the goddess statue in the second Moon Temple can generate "Elysium" is because of the existence of that circle of murals!

　After reaching this conclusion, Dac became even more interested in the mural.

　He then gradually discovered that the mural itself might actually be alive!

　The peasant women, shepherds, and babies depicted in the murals... are capable of experiencing "joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness"!

　That is precisely the source of the goddess statue's "paradise"!

　……

　The second Temple of the Moon has now collapsed, and the murals inside the temple are no longer there.

　But the "Magic Book" has already recorded it.

　Although the replicated murals no longer possess that magical power, if they can be deciphered, or transformed into magic circles or spells and imprinted on magic cards, it may be possible to partially reproduce their effects.
