Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

hum-

A terrifying ghostly aura erupted from Ibaraki-doji's body, instantly escalating to an astonishing level.

"Hand of Hell!"

A pitch-black vortex unfolded before Ibaraki-doji. Without hesitation, Ibaraki-doji passed his hand through the vortex, and instantly, on the other side, a gigantic demonic hand, as tall as Ibaraki-doji, appeared, then moved towards Son Goku.

The air beast leaped out.

Does this move look familiar?

Because the Demon Beast also knows this move, but compared to the Ibaraki-doji, the difference is enormous.

Take Sun Wukong Beast as an example. The Demon Beast's "Hell Hand" is equivalent to a tickle. Even the Demon Beast King's attack only feels like a slightly heavier tickle.

The difference in levels was significant, and more importantly, Sun Wukong Beast at this moment was [Three Heads, Six Arms, Invincible Body, Sun Wukong Beast].

Both its attack and defense capabilities are exaggerated. The attacks of the Demon Beast are really nothing compared to that.

But Ibaraki-doji is different.

The 'Hand of Hell' unleashed by Ibaraki-doji was powerful enough to not only peel off a layer of his monkey skin, but also potentially kill him.

Therefore, Sun Wukong dared not be careless in the slightest. Endless lightning filled the air as he tried to unleash his killing move, but he was entangled by Shuten-dōmon and forced to take a hit from Ibaraki-dōmon.

Instantly, Sun Wukong Beast was reduced to only two heads and four arms, and this was only because Sun Wukong Beast reacted in time.

"so close……"

On the other side, Sun Wukong's forehead was covered in cold sweat. If he hadn't reacted in time and turned his body slightly in the moment of crisis, it wouldn't have been the head that fell off his shoulder, but his very head right in the middle.

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, stood up straight, and then...

A dark, ghostly hand suddenly rose from the ground and wrapped itself around Sun Wukong.

"not good!!"

Sun Wukong's pupils contracted, realizing something was wrong. Was this an attempt to stall him and prevent his escape?

In other words, that near-fatal blow was just to draw my attention; how terrifying must the real killing move be?

Then Sun Wukong witnessed it.

"Guardian Girl—"

Shuten-dōmon's cold voice echoed as he raised his red gourd, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and pointed the gourd's mouth at Son Gokumon. Instead of releasing poisonous mist, he released the wine.

"—Nine-Headed Dragon Clash!!!"

Instantly, a purple torrent surged forth, carrying an aura that corroded everything, and rushed towards Sun Wukong Beast.

At this moment, the bound Sun Wukong had only one thought in his mind: "We're doomed!"

He had experienced being 'held back' before. After all, during his free time, he had sparred with his junior brother Sha for a while, and then Sha Wujing was 'held back' and slapped in the face.

From that moment on, Sun Wukong was quite aware of how poor his swimming skills were, and even his later study of the 'Demon Art: Water-Avoiding Spell' was useless, at least not against Sha Wujing.

Therefore, even when he was unrestrained, Sun Wukong knew that his water-repelling spell would not work when he looked at the torrent rushing towards him, let alone now that he was restrained.

I just hope that the Sage Beast can eventually rescue his master...

This was Sun Wukong's last, pessimistic thought, and then...

boom--!!!

A terrifying torrent is washing over, or rather, crashing against.

But all of this was blocked!

It was a jet-black shield with the 'Badge of Courage' printed on its surface.

"Darkness, the shield of courage."

Only now did Huangfu Weilai's belated arrival reach us.

"I'm not dead..."

Sun Wukong, who had been waiting to die with his eyes closed, opened them and saw a shield blocking his way. The terrifying torrent was forced to separate under this shield.

"who!"

Shuten-dōju's pupils contracted as he looked at the shield that had blocked his attack. He silently stopped outputting energy and looked along a certain channel, which was the source of the shield's flight. At the same time, he shouted a question.

boom!

After Shuten-dōmon's attack ceased, the black shield automatically separated into two pieces and flew into the dimly lit passage where Shuten-dōmon and Ibaraki-dōmon were on guard.

A rhythmic sound of footsteps came from there.

Then, Sanzomon's graceful body and BlackWarGreymon's pitch-black figure appeared simultaneously.

"master!"

Sun Wukong shouted with delight.

"The Three-Hidden Beast..."

Shuten-dōmon looked at Sanzōmon with a complicated expression and murmured softly.

boom!

A wall just collapsed like that; it was BlackWarGreymon who did it.

"I'm saying, is it really okay for you to just ignore me like this?"

Chapter Eighteen: The Collapsed Lotus Cave

"You are……"

Sun Wukong's pupils contracted as he stared at the pitch-black figure. The terrifying amount of data emanating from it was unmistakably that of an Ultimate-level being...

"A sage beast..."

Then, Gokumon breathed a slight sigh of relief, realizing that the dragon-human type Digimon was Wisemon. Although he was very surprised that Wisemon could evolve into an Ultimate level, it was still better than just being a Perfect level, after all...

A pure, fully-formed version of them might actually be no match for the two siblings.

"So, what's your name now?" Sun Wukong asked.

"..." Huangfu Weilai was silent for a moment before speaking quietly, "...DarkWarGreymon."

As expected, WarGreymon's fame is limited to the 'real world'; at least in this Digital World, its fame is not as great as one might imagine.

"Is that so...then I'll leave it to you, BlackWarGreymon!"

Sun Wukong Beast gave Huangfu Weilai a deep look, then glanced at Sanzang Beast, signaling to Huangfu Weilai to protect Sanzang Beast. At the same time, his own 'Demon Art: Three Heads and Six Arms' silently dissipated, having reached its limit…

"You don't need to tell me I can do it too."

Huangfu Weilai nodded in agreement, then changed the subject.

"But I'm counting on you to save Pigsy Beast and Sandy Beast, since they still need your help."

"..."

Sun Wukong's eyes widened suddenly, filled with resentment. "Are you blind? Can't you see I'm exhausted? Where would I get the strength to do these things?!"

Then...

[Change Permissions - Sharing]

Huangfu Future not only healed his injuries by sharing the damage, but also conveniently shared some of his terrifying data with Sun Wukong Beast. Although it couldn't restore him to his full strength, he still had the power of a normal Perfect level.

"..."

Sun Wukong was stunned and speechless by all of this. Although he was grateful to Huangfu Weilai for healing his injuries, he thought, "Are you a devil? You're even exploiting me like this!!!"

Sun Wukong roared madly in his heart, but on the surface he maintained a calm that seemed to have seen through everything, somewhat like the 'enlightenment' that Sanzang Beast had mentioned. But in Huangfu Weilai's eyes, it was just a deathly silence...

Although I was the one who drove all of this, the capable should do more work.

"Are you treating me like I don't exist?!"

Shuten-dōju's face darkened, and his purple eyes revealed a chilling light.

"hehe."

Seeing this, Huangfu Weilai was not afraid at all, and even felt like laughing.

Even if Shuten-dōmon has the power to fight Ultimate-level beings, so what? Take Huangfu Future, for example; he's a genuine Ultimate-level being with a proven track record of defeating other Ultimate-level beings. Trying to defeat him across levels is simply impossible.

That's impossible, especially since Shuten-dōju doesn't have that kind of fighting power.

While there are Digimon at the Ultimate level that could defeat him, they are either overpowered or extremely rare. Therefore, Huangfu Future can calmly and confidently answer his enemy.

"Yes, but what can you do about it?"

Huangfu Weilai's eyes flashed with a cold light, and energy began to surge through his body. Now was the perfect time; no Digimon would dare to interrupt his show-off.

Upon hearing this, Shuten-dōju's eyes narrowed, flashing with a dangerous light. Ibaraki-dōju, standing behind her, stepped forward with great loyalty, shoulder to shoulder with her sister, to resist the pressure from Huangfu Future.

On their side, the Sanzang Beast consciously retreated to the side, clearly aware that her presence would hinder Huangfu's future performance, while the Sun Wukong Beast had vanished without a trace, obviously having already run away.

Although she understood their actions, Huangfu Weilai still felt unhappy, especially when she saw the two 'loyal and righteous' siblings on the other side, which made her even more unhappy.

Since that's the case, I'll take out my frustration on you guys.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, instantly concentrating a terrifying temperature.

Dragon's Breath!

A crimson flame erupted with terrifying temperature, burning fiercely and instantly pressing down on Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji, leaving a trail of scorched, blackened earth in its wake.

The lotus cave of Shuten-dōju is in a dilapidated state.

But at that moment, they couldn't care less.

"Guardian Girl - Nine-Headed Dragon's Fierce Battle!"

"Hand of Hell!"

Shuten-dōmon picked up the gourd and unleashed its 'water' attack, while Ibaraki-dōmon raised its hand and extended its demonic claw. The two attacks combined, barely managing to block Huangfu Mirai's flames.

only-

boom--!!!

The extremely compressed flames erupted completely, and the Lotus Cave where Shuten-dōji and the others lived was reduced to ruins by the towering flames. A dark red liquid began to appear on the ground, which was magma formed after being scorched by the high temperature.

Boom!!

Countless pebbles began to fall freely, striking Huangfu Weilai's shield with a 'clang clang clang' sound.

That was the moment Huangfu Weilai sensed that the Lotus Cave was about to collapse. In an instant, he appeared beside the Three Treasures Beast, raised the 'Dark Courage Shield' on his back, and shielded her from all the damage.

In this situation, Huangfu Future can only protect the Sanzang Beast. As for the Sun Wukong Beast and the others... well, they're on their own.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The white robes of the Sanzang Beast were beginning to gather dust, and the veil covering her face had been blown away. She could only cover her mouth with her hand to avoid inhaling too much dust, a situation that resembled a small natural disaster.

It's still not enough in front of us.

She was still inhaling some unpleasant smoke and dust, and could only cough painfully, relying on the steel-like body of BlackWarGreymon.

"My...disciples...how are they?"

The three beasts choked, tears welling in their eyes, as they spoke with difficulty. The scene before them only intensified Huangfu Weilai's desire to protect her.

After the rubble stopped, Huangfu Weilai, unusually gentlemanly, waved his hand, creating a powerful storm that dispersed the overwhelming dust, giving the Sanzang Beast a clean environment. During this process, Sanzang was not affected in the slightest.

Even Huangfu Weilai considerately patted the back of the beast to help her calm her breathing.

Do Digimon need to breathe...?

At the same time, to reassure the Three Treasures Beast, and also for his own sake, Huangfu Future activated his senses and scanned the ruins of the Lotus Cave.

Sure enough, they sensed the presence of the three Journey to the West characters deep inside, and also learned that Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji had not died.

However, judging from their greatly reduced stats and energy, even if they haven't died, they're unlikely to have much fighting power left.

but--

"They're alright." Huangfu Weilai's eyes flickered as he turned to Sanzang Beast and said. Now was not the time to concern himself with the two siblings; the important thing was Sanzang Beast's disciples.
