Chapter 1017: Dark Demon’s Mental Evolution (4k)
The familiars like the Imp Beast, limited by their own species, cannot undergo secondary formulation to increase their stars, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be given new skins.
In other words, Dark could completely re-formulate an Imp Beast Mana Spirit Card and transfer the Imp Beast’s consciousness onto the new Mana Spirit Card.
This way, he would save one Spell Cage!
The biggest obstacle to this idea lies in Directed Formulation. Other Mana Spirit Cards like the Magical Beast: Eevee can use the random formulation equations of those cards, relying on luck to hit the mark.
But the Imp Beast, Greymon, and Gabumon don’t even have the qualifications to rely on luck.
If Dark wants to formulate them, he must master their Directed Conjure Formula.
He has been studying this for some time now, unfortunately, without success.
But at this moment, he saw the possibility of Directed Formulation for the Imp Beast!
And with the Imp Beast as a reference, as long as the “bond” was deep enough, he should be able to obtain the same level of information using the same method.
At this thought, Dark suddenly opened his eyes and looked slightly surprised at the Spell Cage: Imp Beast.
Just now, he felt the Imp Beast’s body had changed!
Though its appearance hadn’t changed, Dark could clearly sense that its star level had increased!
After rising from one star to two stars, the Imp Beast gained a new Ultimate Skill called Demon Hypnosis.
But its physical changes did not stop there.
Dark’s expression changed; he suddenly felt the method of “energy infusion” had changed.
Originally, he actively drove mental power into the Imp Beast’s body, but now the Imp Beast’s body was actively extracting his mental power!
Inside the Imp Beast’s body, a huge vortex appeared, crazily absorbing his mental energy.
And its external body gradually turned into a luminous entity under the constant injection of mental energy—the sign of evolution!
Dark couldn’t help but feel excited.
In the world of Digital Monsters, the methods the protagonists used to evolve their digital beasts were not entirely the same as what he was currently trying.
What he was doing now was actually taking a shortcut.
If his synchronization rate with the Imp Beast was high enough—not just the bond—he might not need so much mental power to evolve it.
But now that he had this method, he naturally wanted to use his own approach. He was essentially walking his own path.
Even the legendary Mind Magus Red’s Mind Summoning wasn’t exactly the same.
The greatest advantage of the path he found was having a set “method of enhancement.”
As long as he continuously enhanced mental power and bonds, he could evolve the Mana Spirit to a deeper level.
—The Imp Beast successfully completed its evolution in the light of evolution! It abruptly evolved from a bat-shaped demon to a vampire-like Demon race!
“Demon Beast!”
Dark couldn’t help calling out the name of the Demon Beast. Immediately after, he felt a wave of emptiness.
Just evolving the Imp Beast into the Demon Beast had already consumed more than half of his current mental power.
Moreover, he clearly felt that even if he poured all remaining mental power into the Demon Beast, it wouldn’t evolve into a complete form.
Although this involved conversion efficiency issues, it also indicated that his current mental power still lacked quality.
But improving the “quality” of mental power was a very abstract concept, extremely difficult to grasp.
“Not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a hurry!” Dark repeatedly warned himself.
With the Cosmic Brain Beast around, his mental power would grow quickly. Even if he took the violent route of “quantitative change leading to qualitative change,” sooner or later, he would be able to evolve the Demon Beast into a complete form—the Vampire Demon Beast!
However, before he had a deeper understanding of mental power or the Capital Sin, it seemed he could only evolve the Imp Beast into the Demon Beast, not the Black Diarumon or anything else.
This situation was somewhat similar to the chosen children in the world of Digital Monsters.
Their digital beasts also had only one fixed evolution path. Dark pondered for a moment and glanced at the Mana Spirit Card of the Spell Cage: Imp Beast.
It was still four stars, no different from normal evolution. Of course, this was good news.
Dark cheered up, patted the Demon Beast’s shoulder, and asked, “How does it feel?”
The Demon Beast raised its hand to feel and said, “How did you do this?”
Dark patted its shoulder and smiled, “This is the proof of our bond.”
“Mimi!” The Eevee extended its ribbon, tightly wrapping around his arm.
Dark smiled and said, “Don’t worry, once my mental power grows stronger, maybe I can also make you evolve.”
“Mimi?” The Eevee’s eyes widened, as if it had heard a terrifying story.
When it woke up, Dark was already tightly bound by the ribbon.
Although…
Dark didn’t say any comforting words.
Pokémon’s evolution may differ from digital beasts, but in the Pokémon evolution system, there exists an evolution system using mental power, a highly special Bond Evolution.
Moreover, at its core, Bond Evolution is actually Mega Evolution.
This means that the essence of Mega Evolution and mental evolution is completely the same.
Only, the level of Mega Evolution is higher, requiring mental power capable of causing digital beast hyper-evolution to possibly reach it.
As for the problem that only specific Pokémon can mega evolve—if we can research the means of Mega Evolution, how could we fail to expand and apply it?
The meaning of a Magus’ existence is to turn the impossible into the possible!
Dark untied the Eevee’s ribbon. Once its Prismaticization disappeared, he let the Demon Beast use Instant Teleportation to take him to the clubroom.
He wanted to try this mental evolution on the two-star Greymon. By the way, the duration of Prismaticization (Light) is fifteen minutes, roughly the same as the evolution period.
