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

　Cat Grass couldn't help but tilt its head and meow, "Meow?"

　……

　Although Dark wanted to tell Gatomon that the cat grass could be considered its mother in a sense, he ultimately held back.

　Fortunately, although Gatomon is arrogant, it is also rational and did not make trouble for a catnip.

　Dark carefully observed its behavior and gradually determined that this Gatomon's intelligence level was at least 3.

　"Since it's a magical spirit created using the Fruit of Pride, there's no need to try 'Pride I' and 'Pride II,' but trying 'Elysium III' is essential."

　Dark beckoned, "Gittomon, come here."

　Under normal circumstances, the Magical Spirit Card cannot defy its master's will.

　Although Tailmon was somewhat reluctant, it still came over.

　Dark took a deep breath, drew "Elysium III" from his card pack, and then activated "Summoning".

　"Meow!"

　Gatomon stared at the pink card and suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

　The moment the light came on, it let out a sharp scream, pushed off with its legs, and sprang away instantly.

　But the pink light emitted by "Paradise III" illuminated every corner of the dormitory, leaving it nowhere to escape!

　After being caught by the beam of light, Gatomon tried to break free for a moment.

　But soon a great sin emblem lit up on its forehead.

　First came "arrogance," then "ecstasy."

　The two coats of arms appear alternately.

　Dark could clearly see that its body turned into light under the intertwining of the two great sins, just like when Impmon evolved into LadyDevimon, and its entire form began to transform into the form of a human female.

　"Could it be..."

　Dak became excited in an instant.

　But when the evolutionary process reached a certain point, the light of evolution suddenly shattered.

　The half-transformed human form reverted back to cat form.

　After landing, Gatomon suddenly covered its forehead, a dark aura surfacing in its eyes.

　"Evolution failed?"

　Dak was stunned.

Chapter 131 The Conjecture of the Cat Goddess

　Although the current situation is beyond our expectations.

　But Dak didn't remain stunned for too long.

　After regaining his senses, he immediately sketched out the outline of the humanoid form of Gatomon that evolved from it, based on his memory.

　It was neither an eight-winged archangel like Angewomon, nor a distinctive silhouette like LadyDevimon.

　Instead, it is a slender humanoid with two cat ears and two cat tails!

　Dark's knowledge of Digimon was actually quite limited. He frowned and stared at it for a long time, but still couldn't identify the original form from the outline.

　"Not Angewomon, not LadyDevimon? What can Gatomon evolve into? Neferdemon? But that's not right... Ugh! My head hurts!"

　Just as he was fretting about this, Gatomon's eyes were filled with an intense, almost overwhelming, sense of "ecstasy".

　It covered its head and curled up into a ball.

　Arrogance and "ecstasy" are intertwined.

　The struggle between light and darkness.

　The chaos gradually intensified.

　When Dak noticed, her eyes had turned one black and one white.

　Arrogance has also become corrupted.

　"This phenomenon?"

　Dark quickly picked up Gatomon and examined it closely.

　At this moment, Gatomon gave a slight hum, but did not show any sign of refusal.

　The person and the cat were very close together.

　It wasn't until a cold tongue brushed against his cheek that Dark finally realized Gatomon's current state.

　He gently stroked Gatomon's tail, pondering, "Although the materials for crafting include the Fruit of Pride, the sacred ring on Gatomon's tail still indicates that it belongs to the side of light."

　"And since 'Elysium III' can evolve Devimon into BlackGatomon, it's clear that it belongs to the dark side."

　"One black, one white—is it a fusion of light and darkness? An unification of angel and demon—the Mortis Beast?"

　"That's not right either. Mortismon is an Ultimate level! It's a fusion of Angewomon and LadyDevimon, not Gatomon and..."

　"Could it be that Gatomon and BlackGatomon can also fuse and evolve?"

　Dark's eyes lit up, and he felt as if he had finally grasped the key to the matter.

　Although this evolution failed, it foreshadowed a possibility.

　Just like Angewomon and LadyDevimon can combine to evolve into their ultimate form.

　Tailmon and Black Tailmon should also be able to fuse and evolve into their Ultimate form!

　The next question is, how do you make Gatomon and BlackGatomon fuse and evolve?

　"Integration"?

　Does this card exist in this world?

　As he pondered, Dak naturally began petting the cat.

　Although Gatomon was tightly clenching its lips, its expression clearly showed enjoyment.

　Suddenly, Dak felt his trouser leg move, so he looked down and picked up Catnip as well.

　Embracing two women on either side!

　……

　Tailmon maintained this "tsundere" state for about sixteen minutes before waking up with a "meow".

　Although its eyes had returned to normal, it remained lying motionless on Dak's knees.

　(ω`)

　……

　evening.

　Students arrived at the cafeteria earlier than usual, and the double workload was clearly not enough to dampen their adventurous spirits.

　Dak sat down to eat by the window, where he could hear the students on both sides discussing their secret passage adventure for the night.

　Although upperclassmen are allowed to venture into the dungeon on weekends, the secret passages within the castle and the dungeon hold a different significance.

　From the occasional intelligence reports, it was discovered that it wasn't just Dark and Emma who had made gains.

　It seems someone has found a painting that was lost in the past, a rare copy of an ancient book, or a special magical artifact...

　Although those things disappeared after a period of time, they still became treasures that aroused people's desires.

　Even if it's useless, it can still become a topic of conversation, something people can brag about for a while.

　Moreover, some of these antiquities are indeed of extraordinary significance.

　……

　Darke returned to the library with a clear purpose.

　He needs a "Curse Cage" and also a "Fusion".

　The "cursed cage" definitely exists, but the "fusion" needs to be verified.

　However, before that, students must first fulfill their own responsibilities.

　Of today's three classes, apart from the first arithmetic class, the Magic Theory class only assigned tasks, while the History of Magic class did not assign any homework.

　But even just the arithmetic homework is enough for one person to do the work of three.

　Moreover, the homework assignments for Magic Theory may seem insignificant, but they actually take quite a bit of time.

　Even though Dak had already finished the workbook beforehand, it still took him fifteen minutes to finish the rest of the homework. It's hard to imagine how long it would take other first-year students.

　Not to mention the kids who were late and had their lateness doubled...

　"That's pure malice!"

　After making a brief complaint, Dak packed up his homework and prepared to leave the reading room to explore the sea of ​​bookshelves.

　But Emma had clearly been observing him the whole time, and rushed over as soon as he finished his homework.

　After being reminded by her, Dak remembered this and lent her his notes on copying the murals.

　……

　Emma, ​​delighted to receive the notebook, bowed slightly in thanks and said, "Thank you. I'll share the results with you once I've completed my research."

　Dark: "Uh."

　Emma, ​​meanwhile, had already returned to her desk, biting her pen and struggling with the materials she had gathered beforehand.

　She seemed to know more about the murals than Dac, and had already set her sights on one.

　Dak glanced at them and found that the materials were all historical records from a certain era.

　Saint Marian's Library has collected books from almost the entire world.

　Students can always find the books they want among them.

　Dark hadn't thought there was anything wrong with it before, but now that he knew the location and part of the significance of the castle, he felt a chill run down his spine.

　……

　Three hours later.

　Dak emerged from the sea of ​​bookshelves, now holding two books in his hands.

　One of them is "The Three Thousand Wonderful Uses of the Cursed Cage".

　The other book is "On the Extraordinary Characteristics of Fusion Deck".

　Indeed, this world is a place of fusion.

　A duel that doesn't involve fusion isn't a duel at all.

　It was already very dark at this time.

　The reading room was almost empty.

　In this corner, only the girl with tousled hair and the meticulously groomed blond boy remained.

　It was very quiet around me, with only the soft scratching of the pen tip on the paper.

　……

　The House of Nobles, common lounge.

　Diana is playing a magical chess game with Rose.

　Despite repeated defeats, she never gave up.

　The two did their homework in the library for two hours. But the "homework helper" got lost in the sea of ​​bookshelves and didn't even bump into anyone.

　Diana wasn't very interested and casually asked, "Rose, of those five universal spells, which one are you planning to use first?"

　Rose frowned and thought for a moment: "I want to use the Fade Charm, but that seems particularly difficult. Perhaps I should start with something simple, like the Push Charm?"

　Diana: "Hmm, that makes sense. I was thinking of using a Blink Charm, but I probably wouldn't be able to do it well, right?"

　Rose nodded and said, "The Blink spell is also good. It can blink forward one to three meters, which has high tactical value."
