Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

"Does he even deserve to be the leader?"

"That's right!"

"Yeah, not as good as me..."

“…”

Suddenly, the noisy sounds seemed to be paused, and all the Digimon turned their eyes to one direction, which terrified the Digimon that was looking at them.

That's about it →_→(⊙x⊙；)←_←

Then...

"Brothers, let's charge!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!!"

"Wait, wait, don't hit my face—!"

A mournful cry rang out, then was swallowed up by the herd of beasts.

The strategist ignored the commotion below and pondered seriously for a moment. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he exclaimed, "Sanzang Beast? Is that the Journey to the West?"

"OK……"

The golden unicorn nodded shyly.

"..."

Who the hell is 'humming'?!

Upon receiving an accurate reply, the strategist almost spat out the three-character mantra he had been holding back.

Boss! You actually dared to think of that?

I remember that the Journey to the West seemed to have three other disciples who were also fully evolved, making a total of four fully evolved beings. Even if our entire Lotus Cave were tied together, we wouldn't be enough to defeat them, even if we were Jin...

The Silverhorn Beast possesses the same combat power as a fully evolved form.

"Strategist, do you have any good ideas?"

The golden-horned beast asked expectantly.

"..."

The response was silence. The strategist expressed his desire to live longer and not die young, so he secretly pondered how to "advise" the golden horn to abandon this unrealistic idea.

"Big sister, let's use our treasure."

The silver-horned beast, which had been silently serving as a mount, suddenly spoke up.

"treasure!?"

The strategist was greatly surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it seemed to make some sense.

As a Digimon who had followed the Gold and Silver Horned Beasts for many years, he knew some of their secrets, thanks to Gold Horned Beast's generosity in not treating him like an outsider.

"Hmm~"

The golden-horned beast rested its chin on its hand, deep in thought.

She seemed to think this was a good idea, after all, she wasn't arrogant enough to challenge a fully-leveled being outnumbered.

So, he stretched out his left hand, clenched his right fist, and slammed it into his own palm.

"Let's decide on this!"

Meanwhile, Sanzang Beast and his companions, unaware that they were being targeted, resumed their journey after finishing their food.

At this moment, Huangfu Future couldn't help but sigh again, "Truly, this is an unscientific digital world!"

Look at how the Three-Hidden Beast walks barefoot.

With her sharp eyes, Huangfu Weilai could even see the fair white feet on the ground; they were still fair, and there was no sign of them being stained with mud.

This made Huangfu Future deeply aware of the 'unscientific' nature of the digital world.

Where are we going?

If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it. Huangfu Weilai was so open-minded. Then he opened his mouth and asked Sanzang Beast, because the place they were currently heading seemed to be a direction that Sanzang Beast had randomly chosen.

"The road is right under your feet; just go with the flow."

The clear, cold voice of the Three Treasures Beast echoed.

"???"

don't know!

Huangfu Weilai looked at the back of Sanzang Beast with a face full of questions, guessing that she would no longer answer him. Then he looked at Sun Wukong Beast beside him, who was ostensibly a companion but actually monitoring him, hoping to get an answer from him.

Noticing Huangfu Weilai's gaze, Sun Wukong shrugged and said, "I don't know."

"Um?"

Huangfu Future raised an eyebrow. "Are you kidding me?" If we're talking about the Digimon that has followed Sanzangmon the longest, it's undoubtedly Songomon.

And now he's telling me he doesn't know anything about the Three-Hidden Beast? Are you kidding me?

Noticing the doubt and confusion in Huangfu Weilai's eyes, Sun Wukong had no choice but to explain again: "I really don't know. Master's route was roughly westward, but as for which roads to take, that was just a matter of choice."

At this point, Sun Wukong's words were full of helplessness. If he really had a specific destination, would he need to talk to Huangfu Weilai? He could simply take his master and fly away in a somersault cloud; there would be no need for this.

Will you continue forward in a quiet, somber manner?

Although there was also the reason that his master wanted him to cultivate his mind...

What could Sun Wukong, as a disciple, do? He could only obey his master! He was quite helpless himself…

'You've had it tough too...'

Huangfu Weilai used that look to express that meaning.

He had actually had a similar experience before, which was being a babysitter for his companions at the beginning. That's why he could resonate with Sun Wukong Beast—it was because he felt the same way!

Sun Wukong's eyes flickered for a moment. He too could tell from Huangfu Weilai's eyes that this was a fellow traveler from the past, though now he seemed to be free...

However, it still greatly increased Sun Wukong's goodwill towards Huangfu Future. After all, Sun Wukong felt that he could share some things with Huangfu Future about the topic of a 'willful master'.

And so, the two inexplicably locked eyes and began whispering some amusing things behind the back of the Three-Hidden Beast.

Completely ignoring the slight pause in Sanzang Beast's steps, she had clearly heard it.

and so……

Huangfu Weilai might be fine, but Sun Wukong Beast is a different story, after all, he's Sanzang Beast's disciple. (laughs~)

Having already gotten carried away with the conversation, Sun Wukong obviously didn't notice the details and was getting more and more excited with Huangfu Weilai.

However, Huangfu Future's 'harmonious' journey with the Journey to the West quartet seems to have come to an end.

boom!

With a thud, the Silverhorn Beast's massive body blocked their path. Judging from the full-scale energy emanating from its body, they knew it was up to no good.

"Tch...another one who's not afraid of death."

Sun Wukong twisted his neck, swung his arms, and made a grasping motion in the air. Instantly, the Ruyi Jingu Bang appeared in his palm, fitting perfectly.

Gokumon is already used to yet another Digimon spying on his master.

A fierce aura emanated from his body. Sun Wukong pointed his Ruyi Jingu Bang at the Silver Horned Beast and roared, "What kind of monster dares to block our way!"

Looking at this scene that resembled the classic image in his mind, Huangfu Weilai couldn't help but feel deeply... speechless.

He recognized it as a silver-horned beast at a glance.

The reason they're blocking the way is obvious to anyone with a brain; it's because of the Three-Hidden Beast. Don't they even consider their own limitations?

Is a mature organism leaping over a fully mature one?

You think you're me?!

Huangfu Weilai thought so.

Before Huangfu Wei could even finish thinking, the Silver Horned Beast announced its name, its massive body clashing with the Sun Wukong Beast. For a time, the fight was evenly matched.

but…

Since the Silverhorn has appeared, then the other one must have appeared as well...

Huangfu Weilai's eyes flashed as he looked behind them. He hadn't activated his perception ability before, but now... he had activated it and sensed the presence of a Digimon that had circled around to their rear.

It seemed like they were planning a sneak attack, so Huangfu Weilai's eyes turned cold as he said, "Come out, I've already spotted you."

"Who's there! Is anyone still there?"

Pigsy was immediately alarmed and quickly raised his rake, looking around warily.

Sha Wujing Beast was no exception.

But... there's nothing there!

"Are you sure you didn't misread it?"

Pigsy Beast asked in confusion, then his expression turned憨厚可爱 (simple and cute), and he patted Huangfu Weilai's shoulder as if to comfort him, saying, "It's okay, you're probably just hungry, that's why you mistook it. I've had this happen to me too."

when…"

"..."

Upon hearing this, even Huangfu Weilai, who was on guard, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhu Bajie Beast. What the hell is it that he gets dizzy from hunger just like you?

Huangfu Weilai disdainfully slapped away the hand that Pigsy Beast had placed on his shoulder, looked behind him, and said coldly, "Do I need to invite you out, Golden Horned Beast?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, a scantily clad Digimon appeared; it was Goldhorn.

"Have you heard of me?"

The Golden Horned Beast first looked at the still aloof and indifferent Sanzomon with a greedy gaze, and then looked at Wizardmon, who had discovered it, and asked.

"I've heard of the names of the Oni no Kin and Kin siblings."

Huangfu Weilai answered calmly.

This answer was exactly what Golden Horned Beast expected; after all, fame is a troublesome thing, and there is always the risk of being recognized wherever you go.

Unlike the Golden Horned Beast's matter-of-fact attitude, the Three-Hidden Beast looked at Huangfu Weilai with its golden eyes, its eyes gleaming with a great wisdom that no one else could see.

Most Digimon would take this for granted, but Sanzomon was different. He knew that the Wizardmon in front of him was the Ultimate-level BlackWarGreymon.

Would an Ultimate-level being even care about things related to the Adult stage?

Besides familiarity, is it because they are special?

Noticing the gaze of the Three-Hidden Beast, Huangfu Weilai calmly turned his head and met the Three-Hidden Beast's calm and unwavering eyes.

Seemingly sensing Sanzangmon's question, Huangfu Future naturally wouldn't reveal that she knew this information from a certain DigiDevice, so she calmly replied, "They are a bit special."

Sanzang Beast nodded, seemingly agreeing with Huangfu Weilai's words, but even Huangfu Weilai couldn't guess what she was thinking.

This scene was perfectly normal for them, but it was different in the eyes of another Digimon.

Golden Horn Beast's eyes twitched as it watched Wizardmon and Sanzomon 'gazing deeply into each other's eyes', and it felt its head suddenly sink, as if a different color had appeared on it.

He roared, "Sanzang Beast is mine! You can't take her away from me!!"

“???”×3

This…

Does anyone say that?

Huangfu Weilai and the disciples of Sanzang Beast all looked puzzled. What are you talking about?

Seeing the sudden swing of the mace-like weapon, Huangfu Weilai's eyes flashed. He raised his magic staff, wanting to let the other person experience what it meant to be a melee mage.

A figure darted out from beside Huangfu Weilai.

That's Pigsy the Beast!

However, Pigsy Beast's expression was a bit strange, as if he was... angry? And he seemed even more angry than Golden Horned Beast, making Golden Horned Beast wonder if he had done something heinous.

Then we heard the Pigsy Beast roaring—

"What are you trying to do to my food master?!"
