There is a beast in the bright morning.

Hao Chen hadn't expected Charizard's transformation. It looked like a Pokémon, but used Digimon moves, which seemed completely out of place.

"Fortunately, this Charizard seems to be on my side, otherwise it would be quite troublesome," Hao Chen thought to himself.

The moment the Holy Ape King saw Charizard, his hatred instantly shifted to Charizard: "You little brat, I was just thinking about how to find you, but you actually showed up on your own."

Charizard brandished his greatsword and said, "You talk too much when you're fighting. Today I'll take your monkey head and give it to my brother as a greeting gift."

Having said that, Charizard raised its hand and unleashed a sword strike, its sharpness splitting the sky. A sword aura, carrying an invincible momentum, flew rapidly toward the face of the Holy Ape King.

"Humph."

The Holy Ape King snorted coldly. He naturally noticed that the Fire-Breathing Dragon's attack was not right. The sword energy contained a law power different from what he knew, so the Holy Ape King did not dare to block it with his bare body.

The Holy Ape King's gaze grew increasingly cold, and a rusty bronze staff descended from the sky, its oppressive aura instantly extinguishing the sword energy.

This bronze staff was the royal weapon of the Holy Ape Clan, belonging to the ancient ancestor of the Holy Ape Clan, the Fighting God Venerable. Later, the Fighting God Venerable's cultivation surpassed the fifth level of the Heavenly Emperor Realm, and he ascended to the Divine Realm, leaving behind the royal weapon as a treasure to protect the clan. Unfortunately, it was later stolen by the Holy Ape King.

The Holy Ape King wielded the Imperial Bronze Staff. Although he couldn't unleash the full power of the Imperial Weapon, in his eyes, the mere aura of imperial authority emanating from the weapon was enough to make him invincible.

Indeed, the Holy Ape Clan is naturally warlike, and even the imperial weapon left behind by their ancient ancestor, the God of War, exudes a soaring fighting spirit.

Influenced by the bronze staff, the Holy Ape King did not hesitate at all, and forcefully launched an attack on the Charizard with the bronze staff in hand.

The bronze staff swept across with an indestructible aura, and the Charizard, seeing this, did not hesitate. Its Tyrannosaurus Sword also unleashed an incomparably sharp aura and slashed fiercely at the bronze staff.

Sonorous!

He thought that with the imperial weapon in hand, he could sweep everything away like a whirlwind, but to the Holy Ape King's surprise, the opponent's sword actually blocked his bronze staff attack, which shocked the Holy Ape King.

Charizard seemed to notice the Holy Ape King's surprise and said disdainfully, "Royal weapons are strong, but you can't control them yet, so in your hands they're just sturdier weapons."

"Damn it, let's do it again."

Although the attack just now ended in a draw, in the eyes of the Holy Ape King, this was a great humiliation. He, who was holding the imperial weapon, was unable to defeat his enemy in one move.

As their eyes met, the two clashed again in the void. This time, the fight was far more intense than the previous one, and blood fell from the sky, indicating that someone had been injured.

After another collision, both of them staggered. The Tyrannosaurus Rex sword in Charizard's hand was covered with cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.

However, the Holy Ape King had a wound running from his shoulder to his abdomen, but in the next moment, he circulated his qi and blood, fully recovered, and once again stood at the pinnacle.

Even the bronze staff in his hand, after being stained with his blood, emitted a hazy immortal light, and its imperial aura became increasingly strong, as if it were sensing the call of the Fighting God's bloodline and was being revived.

Seeing this, the fire-breathing dragon didn't dare to be careless. It turned to Hao Chen behind it and said, "Brother, how long are you going to stand there? Aren't you going to take action to suppress this monkey?"

Hao Chen was enjoying the view from behind when Charizard suddenly asked him to take action.

Looking at the staff in the Holy Ape King's hand, Hao Chen couldn't help but swallow hard, cursing inwardly, "This fire-breathing dragon is really bad. If I go up like this, I'll probably be beaten to death by the royal weapon."

Shaking his head, Hao Chen naturally wouldn't joke about his own life; there was still his furry friend waiting for him at home.

Hao Chen didn't want to make a move, but the Holy Ape King wouldn't let him off the hook. Perhaps it was the revival of the Bronze Staff that boosted the Holy Ape King's confidence, and he chose to attack both Hao Chen and the Fire-Breathing Dragon at the same time.

The bronze staff pressed down, and a terrifying imperial aura permeated the air, tearing open space and creating an unimaginable and terrifying scene. The pitch-black spatial rift emitted a terrifying suction force.

In response, Hao Chen naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his fate. He directly enlarged his body, making every hair on his body glow and shimmer, and his blood and energy surged.

The next moment, Hao Chen opened his mouth and spat out a thick beam of divine light, which collided with the bronze staff and burst out with unprecedented divine light.

"Damn it, how can this broken stick be so strong? It's draining my divine power too fast. I can't hold on much longer."

Hao Chen saw that although the bronze staff had slowed down, it was still pressing down on him, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to the fire-breathing dragon.

Hao Chen was greatly displeased to find that the fire-breathing dragon was actually watching the show: "Good heavens, it was just calling me 'big brother' a moment ago, and now it expects me to take the blame. Dream on."

So Hao Chen kept moving his body toward Charizard, and Charizard naturally noticed Hao Chen's little movements, thinking to itself, "Sigh, my big brother is still so petty."

Charizard sighed, deciding that it no longer needed to hold back. Under the watchful eyes of Hao Chen and the Holy Ape King, Charizard's body was suddenly filled with intense light, and a large ball of light enveloped it.

The next moment, Charizard's aura surged, as if it had entered a certain state. The sphere of light shattered like a mirror, revealing a completely different Charizard inside.

Hao Chen stared wide-eyed at the Charizard. At this moment, the Charizard's skin was gray, and its chin to the tip of its tail was sky blue. Its wings were blue, the horns on its head were very sharp, two elegant blue flames were on either side of its mouth, and the flames on its tail had also turned blue.

"This is a Mega Charizard X?!" Hao Chen was surprised that this Charizard could actually Mega Evolve on its own.

But Charizard's transformation didn't stop there. The next moment, Charizard's claws were simultaneously adorned with the Tyrannosaurus Rex Sword and the Garurumon Cannon, and a Crest of Courage appeared on its belly.

"The wait is over! The Super Charizard x Omega Edition has arrived to pay its respects."

Charizard raised its left claw and unleashed a powerful shot at Saint Ape King. The immense energy terrified Saint Ape King, forcing it to recall its bronze staff to block the attack.

Seeing that it had defeated the Holy Ape King, Charizard couldn't wait to fly to Hao Chen's side, squinting its eyes and saying, "How about it, big brother? Am I handsome like this!"

Hao Chen: "..."

Can someone explain to me what's going on? Why is this Charizard so different from what I remember? Could it be that I watched pirated Pokémon in my past life?

What surprised Hao Chen even more was that he and Charizard were complete strangers, so why did Charizard call him "big brother"?

When the Holy Ape King saw that the other party dared to ignore him and chat on their own, he was immediately enraged. However, before the Holy Ape King could make a move, he felt a throbbing in his blood.

"Oh no, the Holy Ape Clan has arrived! I must leave immediately."

Although the Holy Ape King did not know who the Holy Ape Clan members who came to hunt him down were, the fact that they could make his bloodline tremble meant that the power of their bloodline was absolutely terrifying.

The bronze staff in his hand, being a royal weapon, naturally wouldn't attack those of the same bloodline as the Holy Ape Clan, which made the Holy Ape King consider retreating.

"Consider yourselves lucky today. I have important matters to attend to." After giving Hao Chen and the Fire-Breathing Dragon a hateful look, the Holy Ape King swung his bronze staff, creating a spatial passage, and left.

Seeing that the Holy Ape King had left, Hao Chen breathed a sigh of relief; he had almost been beaten to death today.

However, Hao Chen had a headache after seeing the Charizard. It seemed that he couldn't beat it either, so he couldn't complete the mission. How was he going to explain this to Di Ting?

Just as Hao Chen was troubled, the Charizard's body shrank in a burst of light, eventually turning into a small fire dragon. Then it jumped onto Hao Chen's back and said, "Big brother, where are you staying now? Big brother, do you have any food? I'm starving."

Hao Chen couldn't stand it anymore. Was this guy naturally outgoing? Why was he talking so much?

"Wait, who's your older brother? I don't know you." Hao Chen threw the little fire dragon off his body and rolled his eyes at her.

The little dragon propped itself up, lay on the ground, and pretended to look pitiful, saying, "Big brother, you're so cold!"

"Alright, stop acting. Get up and come back with me."

Hao Chen wondered who this little fire dragon had learned to be so dramatic. But Hao Chen thought that this guy didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, so he decided to take him back to the Deer Man Shop first and report back.

When the little fire dragon heard Hao Chen tell him to come back with him, it immediately got up and climbed back onto Hao Chen's back: "Big brother, let's go."

"Get down here."

"Don't be so stingy, bro. Didn't you used to carry Tianlu, that little puppy, on your back all the time?"

Hao Chen was stunned after hearing what the little fire dragon said. It was one thing for this guy to call him big brother, but how did he know Tian Lu's name? Could it be that he had met Tian Lu before?

But if it's related to Tianlu, why would it be suppressed in the underworld? Could it be the Heavenly Court?

As the universally acknowledged villain of the Beast World, the Heavenly Court holds the same position as Danzo in the Naruto world—a scapegoat.

If it is unknown who committed the evil deed, it is most likely that it was done by the Heavenly Court.

Meanwhile, inside the Deer Man's shop, Tianlu couldn't help but sneeze: "Achoo! Damn it, I feel like something's been stolen?"
