Chapter 651 “Request for Subscription” Goddess of Heartful Eyes
“So far, only the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ can fully replace ‘Deoxys’ and ‘Black Deoxys’ for fusion.”
“And this way, ‘Bastemon’ and ‘Celestial Beast’ can appear simultaneously.”
“But will the ‘Bastemon’ evolved from the fusion of the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ and ‘Black Deoxys’ still be the original ‘Bastemon’?”
“It’s clearly impossible.”
Thinking about this, Dark began to seriously consider whether he should awaken the intelligence of this ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes.’
Originally, because other ‘Magical Beasts,’ except for ‘Mana Spirit: Ibut’ and ‘Mana Spirit: Ditto,’ were fusion material cards, he had been contemplating this issue.
Currently, there was only one set of available fusion Mana Spirits, which wasn’t a problem yet.
But what if the number of fusion Mana Spirits increased in the future?
Would these fusion material cards, if awakened with intelligence, cause severe issues like frequent consciousness collapse due to frequent fusion with different Mana Spirits?
Since there was no precedent to refer to, he could only speculate, thus delaying the decision until now.
However, the two newly refined 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 now possessed some divine auraMana spirit cards.
— According to ‘Behemoth’s experience, this divine aura can be amplified!
Using a ‘Capital Sin Card’ to awaken intelligence would likely grant the 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 the ‘Rank +1’ passive trait.
Although the ‘Rank +1’ trait doesn’t bring specific numerical boosts, its effects in actual combat are more valuable than numerical increases.
However, as a pure fusion material card, the 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 doesn’t need much of the ‘Rank +1’ trait.
The two ultimate skills of the 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 have clear limitations on the tier of substitutable fusion materials.
In this case, even if it gains the ‘Rank +1’ trait, it’s unlikely to increase the tier of the substitutable fusion materials.
Dark couldn’t immediately think of how the ‘Rank +1’ would be useful.
But now, with a clear path for improvement in front of him, how could he not use it?
After careful consideration, he finally decided to awaken its intelligence.
“After all, she’s a goddess; her tolerance for chaotic consciousness should be higher, right?”
He placed the two 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 cards in front of him and compared them slightly.
Both cards depicted a long-haired woman with closed eyes praying, with a third eye always open between her brows, emitting purple light.
However, the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ on the left seemed more mature, while the one on the right appeared younger.
Generally, it was a difference between around twenty-five and seventeen.
Their hairstyles also differed slightly.
“Awakening intelligence means starting over. A younger appearance might make adaptation easier.”
After pondering for a moment, Dark chose the card with the young girl’s face…
“For the ‘Capital Sin Card,’ let’s choose ‘Pride IV’!”
Dark took out the ‘Pride IV’ and first performed a normal summoning spell on the 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】.
Immediately after, the three-eyed goddess appeared before him — unexpectedly standing over one meter seventy tall, with a slender build, brown hair flowing smoothly, and a striking face.
But her third eye utterly ruined her appearance!
It was a noticeably large vertical pupil, with the purple iris squeezed between puffy eyelids. When the eye rolled, the eyelids moved along with it, giving an eerie feeling.
“Close your eyes when it’s dark,” Dark quickly said.
The 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 closed its ‘heartful eye.’
— It instantly enhanced sensory perception several levels!
“Maybe you shouldn’t open it again…”
Dark couldn’t help but think.
Then he picked up the ‘Pride IV’ and aimed it at the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes.’
Three seconds later, the dark gold light completely illuminated the ‘goddess’s’ face.
Her third eye, which had been ordered to close, suddenly opened, greedily absorbing the ‘Pride IV’s’ light!
With the ‘Pride’ emblem imprinted on her forehead, the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ was branded with a demon god’s mark.
Her aura began to ascend visibly.
Despite no physical changes, it gave the impression of a complete transformation.
Once the ‘Pride IV’s’ light was fully absorbed, she closed her third eye again, but her face now exuded divinity.
Just like when ‘Behemoth’ gained intelligence, the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ now exhibited detectable divine aura.
The ‘Rank +1’ trait undoubtedly appeared on her stats.
But her three eyes remained closed, standing quietly in place after gaining intelligence.
Purple light leaking from the gap of her tightly shut third eye gradually turned golden!
Dark realized the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ was still transforming and focused intently.
About three minutes later, the purple light in her third eye finally turned entirely golden!
Dark immediately took out the 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 to examine it.
The card data showed no changes, but injecting mana revealed a golden glow around the edge of the card!
The 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 upgraded from a two-skill purple card to a four-skill gold card!
Dark was stunned.
This phenomenon of increasing two tiers just by awakening intelligence with a ‘Capital Sin Card’ was unprecedented.
This development shook his previous judgments about ‘Capital Sin Cards.’
He had always believed that ‘Capital Sin Cards’ indeed had the ability to awaken intelligence, but what if this effect was merely a side benefit of a larger ability?
The two transformations of ‘Behemoth’ and the 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 brought him enlightenment.
“Could it be, sublimation?”
“Like vampires turning humans into similar kin after their first embrace.”
“The true purpose of ‘Capital Sin Cards’ is actually to transform Mana Spirits into something akin to demon god kin?”
The moment this thought arose, it spiraled uncontrollably.
Dark even forgot to check the new ultimate skill of the 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 and left her untouched for a long time.
After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at the three-eyed goddess with closed eyes, pretending to cough and saying, “Can you speak?”
Then, the newly intelligent ‘goddess’ still with closed eyes uttered a single word: “Yes.”
“Very good!” Dark exclaimed.
Being able to speak human language was a very important ability.
If Meow could speak human language, she would be a perfect assistant.
“So,” Dark asked, “do you understand yourself?”
As expected, the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ slowly shook her head.
She wasn’t the ‘Soul of the Moon Goddess,’ but a ‘god’ created from scratch by Dark!
Dark asked further, “Why did you close your eyes?”
The ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ replied in a detached tone, “Following my master’s command.”
Dark: “…”
I just wanted you to close your third eye, okay?
…
The ‘Pride IV’ made the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ even more aloof.
Dark commanded her to open her eyes and move freely, then finally checked her ultimate skills.
The four ultimate skills were ‘Fusion Designation,’ ‘Angel Fusion,’ ‘Heartful Eye,’ and ‘Eye of the Gods.’
‘Fusion Designation’ and ‘Angel Fusion’ remained largely unchanged.
Dark directly looked at the third ultimate skill — ‘Heartful Eye’!
[Heartful Eye: The Goddess of Heartful Eyes can see through hearts. When her third eye opens, her gaze penetrates everything, seeing through illusions. Mana +500, Rank +1.]
“Seeing through hearts, penetrating everything, seeing through illusions…”
Dark’s brow twitched, immediately realizing the practicality of this ultimate skill.
‘Seeing through hearts’ is essentially ‘Mind Reading.’
‘Penetrating everything’ is ‘X-ray Vision.’
‘Seeing through illusions’ is ‘Illusion Break.’
‘Mind Reading,’ ‘X-ray Vision,’ and ‘Illusion Break’ are all highly practical, especially ‘Mind Reading’!
Though the effectiveness of ‘Mind Reading’ varies greatly depending on its strength, even if it can’t truly hear someone’s thoughts, distinguishing lies is already incredibly useful.
But these three effects were concentrated in one ultimate skill.
‘Heartful Eye’ is indeed a godly skill with the ‘Rank +1’ passive trait!
The additional ‘Mana +500’ is less significant.
Dark smiled and looked at the fourth ultimate skill — ‘Eye of the Gods’!
Similarly an ‘eye’ skill, ‘Eye of the Gods’ surpasses ‘Heartful Eye’ by name alone.
But it isn’t an enhanced version of ‘Heartful Eye’; it’s an entirely unrelated sensing skill!
[Eye of the Gods: The Goddess of Heartful Eyes drives divine power to see the flow of qi, using this to identify vital points and deal fatal blows more easily. Additionally, when the Goddess of Heartful Eyes activates the ‘Eye of the Gods,’ she becomes extremely sensitive to the flow of divine qi, significantly enhancing divine aura perception. Mana +500, Rank +1.]
After reviewing this last ultimate skill, the smile on Dark’s face froze.
If this were a comic, he would have many question marks above his head.
This ‘Eye of the Gods’ not only has the inherent skill effects but also includes the ‘Mana +500’ and ‘Rank +1’ traits.
Moreover, these two effects can clearly stack!
Thus, 1+1 equals 2.
The final values are ‘Mana +1000’ and ‘Rank +2’.
‘Mana +1000’ isn’t excessive; the passive of ‘Divine Rank Armed’ even adds +1000 to all stats.
But don’t forget, the 【Magical Beast: Goddess of Heartful Eyes】 is merely a one-star, first-tier Mana Spirit card!
And it has a sub-card too!
The probability of refining two at once means it will eventually get further enhancements.
As for the subsequent ‘Rank +2’…
No need to say more?
A fourth-tier Mana Spirit with ‘Rank +1’ can reach the legendary ‘God Tier.’
So, ‘Rank +2’?
Her current rank is equivalent to a third-tier Mana Spirit card!
…
“What a day.”
“Not only did I turn a Mana Spirit card from purple to gold using a ‘Capital Sin Card,’ but I also got a ‘Rank +2.'”
Dark shook his head to calm himself down.
Although ‘Mana +1000’ and ‘Rank +2’ look daunting, the true use of the ‘Eye of the Gods’ isn’t in these.
Nor is it in ‘increasing hit chances’!
“Using this ‘Eye of the Gods,’ you can find gods!”
He almost immediately understood the function of this ultimate skill.
If he had the ‘Eye of the Gods’ when searching for the second ‘Moon Temple,’ he would have found it faster and more easily.
Additionally, it can be used to find artifacts with divine aura.
“Perhaps, I should visit the secret passage again?”
Dark glanced at the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ communicating with the Mana Spirits and felt his thoughts becoming more agile.
Back then, he found the second ‘Moon Temple’ because there were traces.
Now, with the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ and her ‘Eye of the Gods,’ he might discover other types of temples or divine substances.
The secret passage has existed for so long; it can’t only hide two ‘Moon Temples.’
If he finds new temples, even if they contain no treasures, the murals, totems, decorations, etc., inside could bring immense benefits.
“Take it easy, calm down and think carefully.”
Dark put down the Mana Spirit card and began to contemplate.
…
Approximately fifteen minutes later.
The ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ broke free from her aloof state, her expression still cool.
Dark thought for a moment and summoned the ‘Soul of the Moon Goddess’ to the dormitory.
The ‘Soul of the Moon Goddess’ saw the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ upon returning to the dormitory.
There seemed to be a natural attraction between these two Mana Spirits, who quickly gathered together.
Among Dark’s Mana Spirits, the ‘Soul of the Moon Goddess’ was very special, always seeming out of place.
Now, the arrival of the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ finally gave her a potential friend.
Seeing them chatting happily, Dark unexpectedly said, “Since you two are so close, how about you take responsibility for her basic education?”
[Soul of the Moon Goddess]: “…”
Of course, there was no reason to refuse.
Seeing her purse her lips, Dark added, “The ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ can sense the flow of divine qi and perceive divine aura. If nothing goes wrong, you’ll rely on her for your divine core forging.”
The ‘Soul of the Moon Goddess’ immediately changed her expression, becoming even more enthusiastic toward her natural friend.
Of course, she didn’t know that the ‘Goddess of Heartful Eyes’ had the ability to see into hearts.
