Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

Boom!

The claws formed from red flames collided directly with the purple electric current. Since they were evenly matched, the leader of the Elite Beasts was sent flying.

Betamon, whose body was covered in blue spots, directly assimilated the purple electric current that struck its body.

The current was absorbed the moment it touched Betamon, turning into blue electric light that in turn strengthened Betamon.

"Ah."

Blue lightning gathered heavily on its forelimbs, and the moment the Elitemon leader was attacked, it instantly shot out, injecting the intense lightning into the Elitemon leader's body.

At the same time, inertia caused the Elite Beast Leader to fly out again.

Then, Huangfu Weilai took over and defeated the leader of the Elite Beasts.

Unconsciously, Huangfu Future and Betamon reached a tacit understanding, and treated Elmon Leader like a ball, hitting it back and forth.

In just a short while, with the combined efforts of Huangfu Future and Betamon, the body of the leader of Elmon began to show signs of data disintegration, proving that he was not far from death.

Only then, at Betamon's signal, did the two stop attacking.

"Cough cough..."

The leader of the Elite Beasts collapsed weakly to the ground, its physical data dissipating at an increasingly rapid pace.

After confirming that the leader of Elitemon no longer posed a threat, Betamon deactivated its Electric Spot Mode, which had been a significant burden on it, and slowly walked towards the leader of Elitemon.

Betamon looked down at the disheveled leader of Erimon and said calmly, "As it turns out, it's you who's lying on the ground."

"Hehehe..." The leader of the Elite Beasts struggled to raise his head, looking at the blurry figure before him. "I admit it... now..."

"Hmm?" Betamon frowned, a sudden sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Without any hesitation, Betamon instantly unleashed an electric attack.

But it was blocked by a horn, a gray, technologically advanced horn that was clearly part of a Digimon.

"You're stronger!"

The leader of the Elitemon suddenly looked at Betamon with its bloodshot eyes.

Like a final burst of energy before death, the scattered data suddenly stabilized, and then, resonating with the unicorn floating in the air, it transformed into a sphere of green data stream, enveloping the leader of the Elite Beasts.

"So there's still a backup plan?" Betamon, who had retreated to Huangfu Future's side after failing to land its first attack, asked.

"I'm just playing through the growth stage, why is it so difficult!" Huangfu Weilai couldn't help but complain, after all, compared to the mature stage, the growth stage seems to be even more challenging now.

While complaining, he didn't forget to tell his teammates who were coming from behind, "You two cover for us, don't come any closer."

Upon hearing this, Agumon S, who had stopped in its tracks, slammed its fist into the ground in frustration, "When did this gap widen?"

Even now, Agumon S still finds it hard to believe that he is not the strongest fighter in Agumon's team.

Agumon shrugged, intending to comfort Agumon S.

Even so, I will definitely catch up!

Okay, this guy doesn't need any comforting.

At that moment, upon witnessing the anomaly, Huangfu Weilai activated the red flame mode once again.

Surprisingly, this mode consumes more than just energy; it seems to involve something more mystical, such as 'fighting spirit' or 'belief'?

"Roar--"

The green data stream suddenly burst open, revealing a black and white figure resembling a unicorn, which roared wildly as soon as it appeared.

A strong airflow emanated from the unicorn and spread outwards.

"Tch, it's a unicorn zebra." Huangfu Weilai braved the wind pressure and saw the true face of the figure.

Surrounded by lightning, Betamon said quietly, "But he won't last long."

The leader of the Elitemon merges with the Unicorn, evolving into Unicorn Zebramon.

Although it successfully evolved into its Champion form, it was only a fleeting moment of glory. Already severely injured, once the data from its Digicore was burned out, this Unicornmon form would immediately disintegrate.

In other words, regardless of whether he can defeat Huangfu Future and Betamon, he is going to die.

Besides——

boom!

"Where are you aiming?" Huangfu Weilai taunted, then retaliated with a counterattack.

The orange-red flames instantly struck the unicorn zebra, eliciting a roar from it.

"Ha, without reason, you're just a target," Betamon shouted, unleashing a bolt of lightning.

However, it was neutralized by the unicorn zebra's 'grating bullet'.

Yes, at this moment, the Unicorn Zebra Beast seems to have evolved at the cost of the Elite Beast leader losing his mind.

On the contrary, he was not as difficult to deal with as he was when he was Elitemon.

Da~da~da~~

The unicorn zebra started running, and in the process, it used its special move, 'Raster Bomb,' to attack the two of them.

However, the effect was not good; the grating bullets were either dodged by the two of them or neutralized by their moves.

After a brief stalemate, Betamon couldn't resist unleashing its ultimate attack.

Terrifying lightning gathered on its dorsal fin, and Betamon prepared to charge.

At this time.

"Hey, isn't it better to just drag this out? Why do we have to fight him head-on?" Huangfu Weilai said, puzzled. "The unicorn zebra will soon be unable to hold on."

Betamon replied, "I also want to drag this out, but my body is reaching its limit. If this continues, it won't be him who collapses, but my body that will break down first."

Huangfu Wei understood; after all, it was a technique based on explosive power, and it had a time limit. He could understand.

Sudden--

"Doesn't that mean I'm all alone?"

Huangfu Weilai's face darkened.

Don't be fooled by how easily they're dealing with Unicornzebramon; that's because they're sharing the damage, making it difficult for Unicornzebramon to hit them. Try bringing in Agumon S, and it'd be dead. After all, it's a Champion-level Digimon, not so easily defeated.

Unbearable.

But it's hard to say for one person; it's easy for things to go wrong.

However, he couldn't hold on for long.

Huangfu Weilai gritted his teeth and thought.

Chapter Eighteen Aftermath

Just as Huangfu Weilai was lost in thought, Betamon finished charging up.

Terrifying energy concentrated in its dorsal fin, emitting a dazzling blue light. Betamon simply lowered its body and assumed a diving posture, and the air seemed to rip through it.

This energy also caught the attention of the unicorn zebra.

"hiss--"

The unicorn roared to the sky, its powerful hind legs suddenly exerting force to lift its entire body, while its forelimbs defiantly kicked repeatedly in the air.

Then...

boom

It landed heavily, leaving two small dents in the ground.

A flash of crimson appeared on the unicorn zebra's futuristic helmet covering its eyes, and its powerful limbs began to gallop across the land.

"Wild Lightning!!"

Even when it lost its mind, the unicorn zebra still shouted out the name of its move.

As if fate had repeated itself, the blue lightning bolts that Betamon transformed into clashed violently with the purple currents of Unicorn Zebramon.

boom-

A huge gust of air was generated around them and swept outwards.

"Wow!"

Even though Agumon S and Agumon were some distance from the center of the battle, they were blown away by the gust of air and managed to stay afloat by barely managing to stay upright.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Weilai, who was far from the center of the battle, had already been lying on the ground the moment they collided, with red flames burning fiercely around him, protecting him.

This is the source of Huangfu Weilai's confidence to watch the battle up close.

"It has a quality that surpasses that of Kugamon." Huangfu Weilai focused his attention, watching the two beings whose energies were constantly clashing and vying for power.

Huangfu Weilai seriously suspected that the Kuwagamon he encountered was a fake. Look at the battle prowess of that Rookie-level creature—could he even compare? Of course, it was also possible that Kuwagamon was holding back, though the probability was low…

Boom 1

Another roar caused another burst of energy to strike, but this time Huangfu Weilai was able to face this power directly.

Withstanding the force of the airflow, Huangfu Weilai's eyes narrowed as he saw through the two people struggling against each other, and he realized that Betamon was probably about to give up.

As the energy gradually decreased, revealing its battered body and a broken dorsal fin, Huangfu Weilai knew it was time for him to make his move.

In comparison, the unicorn zebra was in slightly better condition, but not by much. The fact that half of the armor covering its face was torn was the best proof of that.

Moreover, Huangfu Future could roughly sense the state of the two. If Betamon was exhausted and weak, then Unicornmon was like a candle flickering in the wind.

Although releasing light cannons (small explosions) looks cool, these things generally don't kill people unless they are extremely powerful... otherwise, they are most likely to kill someone in close combat.

After all, if you twist your head off, would you still be able to jump around alive?

Huangfu Weilai exhaled a breath of turbid air and concentrated all his power in his right hand.

The bright red flames on his body disappeared, replaced by a nearly solidified claw gathered on his right hand.

As the two combatants unleashed their energy once more, Huangfu Weilai unleashed astonishing speed, betting all his power on this single strike—a desperate gamble.

As Huangfu Weilai drew closer, the objects around him moved rapidly backward, and a fond memory welled up in his mind.

A certain old man often said something like this, and Huangfu Wei felt he would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't say something in this situation, so he said: "—Hand over your head!!"

Huangfu Weilai unleashed a full-force strike.

"this……."

At the last moment, the unicorn zebra regained its senses, but it could no longer utter a complete sentence.

thump—

That was the sound of a head falling off, followed by a body falling to the ground on all fours.

There was no bloodshed, only the data collapse when a Digimon died.

"call--"

Huangfu Weilai let out a long sigh of relief, his tense mind relaxed, but his body staggered and he almost fell to the ground.

"Heh, it really is tough. I'm completely exhausted..." Huangfu Weilai, seeing his weak body, didn't push himself and simply lay down on the ground, saying this in a way that was neither self-deprecating nor not.

"After all, I didn't know he would come up with this thing."

Betamon, who was also exhausted and lying on the ground, spoke up.

He was the most unexpected person. At this moment, Betamon was only glad that no arrogant person had come. Not to mention the leader of Erimon who used Unicorn Evolution, the group of Erimon alone was a bit difficult to deal with.

"Boss—"

"Agumon, are you alright?"

The voices of their companions grew closer as they approached, and Huangfu Weilai's lips curled up slightly.

"I'm fine, just... a little tired."

Huangfu Weilai looked at Agumon who came to her side to help her up, smiled and refused to help, and said in a tired voice.

"Hey, have you forgotten someone? We're allies!"

Betamon felt a pang of sadness as it watched Agumon run to Huangfu Mirai's side. Even though Agumon had only recently joined, he was still a comrade!
