But after observing carefully, Dark was slightly disappointed.
Although the Magic Beast (Espeon) likely possessed the potential of a "Prophet," the ability it displayed at this moment was merely "prediction," not "precognition."
Currently, the only thing involving "precognition" ability should be the Ultimate [Future Sight] itself.
There was still a long way to go to make Eevee-chan a Prophet.
...
Approximately sixteen minutes later, the effects of [Pride III] gradually vanished, and the Magic Beast (Espeon) degenerated back into Eevee.
The reality of suddenly changing from long legs back to short legs left Eevee-chan somewhat bewildered for a moment.
But it quickly came to its senses. The arrogance on its small face vanished instantly, leaving only a look of innocent, adorable cuteness.
"Vee~"
Eevee-chan pretended to unconsciously avoid Sylveon's gaze, taking small steps with its short legs as it walked toward Dark.
Once it arrived in front of Dark, it lowered its head and rubbed against his calf.
Dark helplessly picked it up, rubbed its head, and praised, "Good job."
Eevee-chan immediately tilted its chin up slightly, assuming the air of a fox borrowing the might of a tiger.
...
After recording the results, Dark casually cleaned up the experiment remnants and then began to make full use of the time to wash up while [Pride III] entered its cooldown.
When he came out of the bathroom, he read a book for a while until the CD of [Pride III] ended.
"Very standard timing, a 61-minute CD."
He revealed a smile and waved to DemiDevimon.
DemiDevimon had been waiting eagerly with puppy-dog eyes. The Magic Beast (Espeon)'s evolution had stimulated it; it had never wanted to cooperate so much before.
At this moment, it immediately hopped over, scuttling excitedly.
Dark waved [Pride III] and asked, "Want to evolve?"
DemiDevimon immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Dark then asked, "What do you want to evolve into?"
DemiDevimon looked bewildered: I can choose?
Besides, even if I can really choose, shouldn't you list out options A, B, C, and D?
It had no idea what it could evolve into besides Black Gatomon.
"Could it be that, like Eevee, I can also evolve into other forms?"
DemiDevimon's mind raced, and it became increasingly expectant.
[Lust III] had made it evolve into a cat.
It wasn't that it disliked cats, but cats weren't majestic or domineering at all.
The great DemiDevimon should at least evolve into a fierce beast like a lion or a tiger!
And [Pride III] was obviously the Magic Guide Card that could satisfy its expectations!
"Is it a lion, a tiger, or a dragon?"
...
Amidst DemiDevimon's infinite anticipation, Dark activated [Pride III]: "Magic Guide Summon!"
Instantly, brilliant light shone forth.
DemiDevimon bathed in the glow, narrowing its eyes in satisfaction.
The skull pattern on its forehead receded, replaced by the standard [Pride] crest.
The dark gold rays released from [Pride III] were absorbed by the crest in an instant, then erupted abruptly.
With the [Pride] crest as the center, DemiDevimon's body gradually turned into light, finally becoming a dark gold luminous body.
Just like when it evolved into Gatomon under the effect of [Lust III].
Under the effect of [Pride III], DemiDevimon's life structure underwent a drastic change!
At this moment.
All the Magic Guide Spirits involuntarily focused their gazes on DemiDevimon.
That feeling of being the center of attention was very enjoyable for DemiDevimon.
It could feel that the power flowing through its body was precisely the [Pride] that opened its spiritual wisdom, only more surging and more pure!
"I am the shining star, the son of the dawn. I will ascend to heaven and raise my throne above the stars!"
DemiDevimon suddenly opened its eyes, a bone-chilling arrogance revealed within them.
The world in its eyes was constantly shrinking, becoming shorter.
That was it ascending, rising to a high place!
...
Simply put, it got taller -.-.
From a short body with only a head, it turned into a tall humanoid form.
But its condition was not as good as it imagined.
Dark was extremely astonished to discover that DemiDevimon's evolution had stagnated at an extremely delicate stage.
Although its body had grown into a tall humanoid shape, it had not fully materialized; instead, it maintained the state of a luminous body.
The black and gold that constituted [Pride] had actually separated during this evolution process!
Black light symbolizing darkness.
Gold light symbolizing brilliance.
Two torrents of light constantly converged, clashed, and dispersed within its body.
In the end, they divided unevenly into two sides.
On the left were a massive curved horn, a tattered bat wing, and a giant hook claw that drooped down below the knee like a tube!
On the right were a helmet covering the eyes, three complete feathered wings, and a strong arm with bulging muscle contours!
Although it only outlined the silhouette of a luminous body.
Dark, who had an extremely deep impression of these two forms, still distinguished them after a brief moment of astonishment.
"Is the left side Devimon, and the right side Angemon?"
Dark's understanding of Digimon knowledge was basically derived from the first few seasons of the Digimon Adventure anime, so his cognition of the Digimon system was incomplete, and he was clueless about many things.
But this Devimon and Angemon occupied a large portion of the first season of Digimon Adventure.
This was the source of his deep impression.
Additionally, the unstable phenomenon before him immediately reminded him of the phenomenon after using [Lust III · Moon] on Gatomon.
That was the confrontation and fusion of light and darkness, the cycle of angel and demon.
It was precisely through that phenomenon that Dark associated it with [Fusion], and set about researching it, eventually fusing Gatomon and Black Gatomon into Bastemon!
"Does this mean that Angemon and Devimon can also DNA Digivolve?"
Light and darkness are two sides of the same coin.
As early as when he discovered that the gold light occupied a larger proportion than the black light in the radiance emitted by this [Pride III], Dark realized that it was no longer pure "sin."
Perhaps because Dark's own thinking, behavior, and soul were increasingly leaning toward the side of light, the [Major Sin] extracted from his brain was also affected accordingly.
"I do remember that Angewomon and LadyDevimon can DNA Digivolve into a Light-Dark fused Angel-type Digimon—Mastemon!"
"But Angemon and Devimon... what can they DNA Digivolve into?"
Dark abandoned the thought.
Now was not the time to ponder these things.
DemiDevimon's current state was not optimistic.
The result of a Digimon's erroneous evolution was not merely something like "evolving from Greymon to SkullSatamon"—often Sukamon and Numemon were their ultimate destination!
If not handled properly.
DemiDevimon could very likely erroneously evolve into an "Arrogant Sukamon"!
The moment he thought of that terrible possibility, Dark couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of his neck and shivered!
...
Multiple thoughts flashed through his mind.
Dark carefully observed the internal state of DemiDevimon.
The torrents of black and gold light were evenly matched, but the gold was actually slightly inferior.
This was likely because [Pride III] was a [Major Sin] card after all.
Darkness is the root.
Light is the outsider.
But this was not the key.
How to guide the trend of the black light and gold light, allowing one side to cannibalize the other, might be the key to breaking the deadlock!
And since the darkness was deep-rooted, the possibility of it being the dominant factor was greater.
Then the best method was to suppress the gold light symbolizing brilliance.
To achieve this was actually not difficult.
Dark thought for a moment and pulled out a [Pride I] from his card pouch!
A single [Pride I] was enough to imbalance the scales!
And once a memory was formed, this kind of "intermediate state" would likely not appear again the next time [Pride III] was used.
Of course, this was just a guess.
"Magic Guide Summon!"
[Pride I] was instantly activated, and a dark gold ball of light shot violently into DemiDevimon's head!
[Pride I], which tended more toward darkness, indeed became the final straw that broke the balance.
The black light gradually overwhelmed the gold light.
They re-fused into a deeper dark gold!
And DemiDevimon's evolution was finally achieved!
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a ferocious roar, the tattered bat wings opened furiously!
DemiDevimon, having evolved into Devimon, soared into the air in an instant!
But the cramped bedroom could not accommodate its height; the back of its head hit the ceiling. Its deep red, glowing eyes looked down from above, revealing a nearly ferocious arrogance.
A Fallen Angel-type Digimon whose whole body was wrapped in clothes of pitch darkness, revealing only the pale skin around its mouth. A scarlet mark like a bat was printed on its chest, multiple black belts were tied around its waist, and massive, sharp Death Claws with retractable forearms grew on its long arms that hung below its knees!
"I am Devimon, the Fallen Angel, the King of Darkness!"
...
[Card Name: Devimon][Type: Spirit Card][Level: ????][Race: Demon][Attribute: Dark-type][Magic: 2000][Attack: 2000][Defense: 2000][Ultimate: Death Claw, Razor Wing, Teleportation, Ten Thousand King's Claws]
...
[Curse Cage: Devimon], shining with a golden halo—another Rare Gold Card upgraded from a Blue Card!
The Devimon before him was terrifyingly powerful!
Compared to Black Gatomon (Magic: 1500, Atk: 1900, Def: 900), which also evolved from DemiDevimon, Devimon's three main stats were simply the gods among four-stars, genuinely impeccable!
The terrifying values with Magic, Attack, and Defense all maxed out represented unparalleled power!
Among the four Ultimates, there were fully three pure destruction skills!
[Death Claw: Extends its retractable hands to instantly pierce through the opponent's body.]
[Razor Wing: Releases wing-shaped energy beams with destructive properties from its wings to attack the opponent.]
[Ten Thousand King's Claws: Simultaneously releases a massive amount of Death Claws!]
[Teleportation: Under the control of its will, it instantly transfers from its current location to the destination in its mind.]
The only non-destructive skill was also a spatial transfer type skill that could be called a BUG!
...
Dark had always been very envious of Principal Cynthia's movement method that was nearly spatial transfer. Now that he had Devimon, it seemed he could do it too?
What was currently unknown was how far Devimon's [Teleportation] could move, whether it could carry people, and how long the CD was.
From the information fed back from [Curse Cage: Devimon], he could relatively clearly understand the release methods and approximate effects of the other three destructive Ultimates, so there was no necessity to test them indoors for now.
Only [Teleportation] could be experimented with unaffected.
...
Dark was just thinking about the differences between [Teleportation] and the [Blink Spell] when he suddenly noticed that Devimon's eyes were a bit abnormal.
"Death Claw!"
Suddenly, Devimon twisted its body violently. Its eyes flashed scarlet, and its pitch-black left hand was thrown out abruptly, elongating instantly.
The giant claw, covered in the aura of death, grabbed ruthlessly at the defenseless Sylveon!
...
Devimon would never forget that when it was still DemiDevimon, every single night it wanted to crawl into its Master's covers, it was tied into a sticky rice dumpling by that damn Sylveon using its ribbons and thrown out!
The humiliation accumulated night after night finally exploded in this moment when [Pride] filled its brain.
The powerful strength filling its whole body gave it extremely strong confidence.
The vengeance for occupying the nest.
If not avenged now, then when?
...
"Mi!"
Sylveon sensed the approach of the aura of death. In a split second, its hair stood on end, and its two ribbon feelers shot out almost instinctively, but they were blasted back by the Death Claw in an instant.
The elongated giant claw did not pause at all, looking as if it was about to pierce through its chest!
A white shadow flashed abruptly.
Gatomon, whose light aura was stimulated to explode, suddenly leaped down from the top of the cat tree. The claw gauntlet copied from SaberLeomon broke through the aura of death, printing a paw into the center of Devimon's claw.
In the clash of pure power, Gatomon actually gained the upper hand!
Devimon's giant claw could advance no further.
But at this moment, arrogance filled its brain, and its ferocious nature was fully exposed. It extended its other hand without hesitation: "Ten Thousand Kings..."
"DemiDevimon!"
A stern reprimand suddenly poured into its ears.
Devimon instantly shuddered, feeling a chill all over its body.
The multiple [Death Claws] that were just about to condense disappeared instantly.
Even the left arm that was matching palms with Gatomon drooped down limply.
The ferocious aura vanished completely.
Devimon twisted its neck like a rusted machine, facing its Master who was revealing a truly wrathful posture in front of it for the first time.
...
[Wrath +3]
The system notification floating past his eyes calmed Dark's emotions.
The petty squabbles between Magic Guide Spirits didn't seem like a big deal to him. At most, he attributed it to a lack of moral education, something that could be solved by singing "Unity is Strength" a few more times.
When dealing with Bastemon, he had held this attitude.
Emotional loss of control triggered by [Major Sin] indeed caused some bad things, but those were hard to avoid during initial experiments.
But Devimon's undisguised, intense killing intent this time exceeded his limit of endurance.
Even though Sylveon wouldn't die even if truly pierced by the Death Claw, there were some most essential things that could not be allowed to run free!
However, after his emotions calmed down, Dark realized that this was a result caused by [Pride III] + [Pride I], so he let out a breath and lowered the punishment.
"Ten little red flowers deducted."
...
Devimon instantaneously transfer-evolved into "Ice Devimon."
