Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

Actually, this is also related to the fact that the digital world is a data-driven world. The residents who die here are data that dissipates, leaving no body behind. In places like research institutes, this is extremely eerie.

After all, the presence of a corpse and the absence of a corpse are two different things. In a strange place, there is no trace of anyone, not even a corpse. This kind of unknown is even more frightening.

Of course, there are specific places where you can leave behind a corpse after killing a Digimon instead of the data disappearing. The abyss of the Dark Sea seems to be able to achieve this.

Fortunately, although this eerie environment made Huangfu Weilai and Ogremon feel extremely wary, they felt no fear whatsoever.

As current and former Ultimate beings, they've seen it all, and this level of strangeness doesn't frighten them at all, especially Huangfu Future. In this data-driven world, all the monsters that appear can be assumed to be...

Digimon are simply fearless.

Ogremon, on the other hand, is keeping a low profile and closely following Huangfu Future because its strength has dropped to the Champion level. If it were during its Ultimate level, it would have already launched a violent attack.

Because all fear of the unknown ultimately stems from a lack of strength. If one were strong enough, there would be no need to think of so many ideas.

Wouldn't it be better to just push straight through?

Is it really necessary to be so cautious and outwit the air?

Thump, thump, thump...

The sound of Huangfu Weilai's footsteps echoed in the quiet hall. Huangfu Weilai's goal was simple: to find out what this "Ocean Research Institute" did and whether it had anything he needed.

Then they arrived at a place marked "Laboratory" and went inside.

Huangfu Weilai's pupils contracted.

Ogremon's expression changed.

"Digimon... an experiment?"

Ogremon's voice trembled slightly, not from fear, but from anger. "Tell me about the human experiments we're doing now."

"Destroy this place."

Ogremon turned to Huangfu Future and said.

"Okay, but not now."

Huangfu Weilai answered calmly, her composure as genuine as it appeared. Looking at the broken nutrient tank and the corpses and limbs inside, Huangfu Weilai felt little because it was a Digimon.

The current Huangfu Future is a human disguised as a digital being. Even though his lifespan has far exceeded the limits of human beings, it has not changed the fact that he has a human mind.

Huangfu Weilai still found it strange. He had clearly lived for many years; in the human world, he should be "established at thirty," or, incorporating his previous life's time, "knowing one's destiny at fifty." But he...

However, he did not feel any change in his mind, meaning that his mind remained unchanged from the moment he entered the digital world.

Moreover, it seems that unless he experiences changes in historical times, he will not "become weathered".

Although this was strange, he did not reject it, because he did not want to forget his humanity in N years and leave behind only the shell of an invincible digital world.

What's the point of that?

"Ok?"

Ogremon frowned and said, "You want to study it?"

"Yes."

Huangfu Weilai nodded calmly and then said, "The research here might be of some use to me. I want to see if they have left any complete records."

"······All right."

Ogremon shrugged helplessly. Although he was very uncomfortable with these experiments and even wanted to destroy them, he could still reap the benefits without sowing. After all, what had already happened was a fact, and even if he destroyed them, it would only make these remains disappear.

May they rest in peace.

But that's not the most important reason. The real reason is that he can't beat Huangfu Future, and he doesn't need to offend the Ultimate Digimon in front of him for the sake of those dead Digimon.

Because he is not a saint, Ogremon may have killed far more Digimon than these Digimon who studied death on his path to growth.

So after the initial discomfort, he simply faced the situation with indifference.

Ignoring Ogremon's complex inner thoughts, Huangfu Future walked step by step into the depths of the laboratory.

Frogmon, Lobstermon, Seadramon, Squidmon, Coelacanthmon, Sea Lionmon, Dolphinmon, Octopusmon...

All sorts of Digimon appear here, and the only thing they have in common is that they are all water-type.

Is this a fusion experiment?

Huangfu Future paused, looking at a "four-legged creature" in the nutrient tank. It was a Digimon that possessed parts of various Digimon, but it was now dead. Judging from the aura emanating from its corpse, it seemed to be a Perfect Digimon.

Huangfu Future's eyes narrowed as he looked at this obviously failed Digimon. In his mind, he thought of Hydramon and... Chimeramon!

Three-Headed Dragonmon is undoubtedly a Digimon formed by the fusion of three Digimon, and it seems that each of its three heads has its own consciousness.

But that's nothing compared to the latter.

Because Millenniumon's predecessor, Chimeramon, was a Digimon composed of the limbs of various Digimon.

Looking at these severed limbs, Huangfu Weilai subconsciously guessed that this was an experiment involving the fusion of marine Digimon.

Then Huangfu Weilai continued forward and came to a giant monitor.

Huangfu Weilai's eyes lit up immediately because he found that the monitor was still usable. He then went to the control panel. Although the model was different, Huangfu Weilai, who was proficient in everything, still knew how to operate it.

Huangfu Weilai then easily operated the laboratory's "computer" and began to review their experimental records.

Huangfu Weilai's eyes flickered as he looked at a file containing experimental records and gently clicked on it.

The fact that it didn't contain videos recording experiments disappointed Huangfu Weilai.

Upon closer inspection, this appears to be a researcher's...diary?

"June 3rd is a special day. Our experiment can finally begin. They have already started capturing Digimon in large numbers over there. I believe we will succeed."

"On June 7th, we began our first experiment. I tried to separate the Frog Beast's hand from the harpoon. Although the Frog Beast screamed in pain, unfortunately, I couldn't give it a quick death, because the subsequent research..."

"Live experiments may be necessary. Besides a part of your limbs, your life itself is also a subject of experimentation, so I'm sorry."

"June 17th, hahaha, a full ten days have passed, and we've found a certain technique. We can now fuse the arm of the Frogmon and the arm of the Lobstermon, which proves that our research direction is correct. This is..."

That's right! If we keep going, I believe that these immature beings, lacking potential, can use their limbs to create a fully formed being. Ah~ the thought of a fully formed being being born in our hands makes me incredibly excited.

Move!

"The end of June was truly an unlucky day. We tried to add another part of a Digimon again, but the part that had already fused collapsed. This meant we had to choose a different Digimon again, and..."

Starting the experiment again, damn it!

"On July 10th, we found a suitable Digimon body—Seadramon. It seems their physical compatibility is compatible with other Digimon. Look, it has the harpoon of Frogmon's hands and the claws of Lobstermon!"

The Seadramon wants to attack us? This is unacceptable! If it weren't for its excellent body, I would have chopped its head off. Hmm? This seems like a good idea! Let's replace that annoying face with something else... Hmm~

Which Digimon should I use? Right, didn't they recently get a stubborn Coelacanthmon? I'll use that then. I want to see if Seadramon's ferocity can combine with Coelacanthmon's! I'm really looking forward to it!

"On July 15th, after five days of rest, the sea dragon beast actually survived, and it really did live with the head of the coelacanth beast! That's fantastic! Our research is one step closer to success. However, this is already..."

"It's not Seadramon anymore, nor is it Coelacanthmon. Let's rename it. I'll think about it, how about Coelacanth Seadramon?"

"On August 1st, Coelacanth was incredibly lucky. We continued to add more experiments to it, adding the horns and fangs of a sea lion to its head, and even the fins of a dolphin beast. Ahhh~ more experiments are coming!"

"Let's rename it. This is such a headache; I'm really bad at naming things. I'll ask the other staff members; I'm sure they'd be happy to help."

"August 20th, hahaha, we've discovered another Digimon that can bond with other Digimon, just like you! Aren't you happy? Your other companion will be here soon, and you won't be growing stronger alone anymore."

"Alright, Coelacanthus! Ahh, I'm so sorry I couldn't think of a good name in the end!"

"September 17th, Octomon, fused with the limbs of four different Digimon—that's quite unique! I'm suddenly curious, what would happen if you two were fused together? Would you fight over your consciousness?"

What if they fight? Just thinking about it makes me excited! No! I have to report this. Even though you are precious experimental subjects, if I fuse the two of you, I have a feeling that fusing the two of you... I have a feeling it will definitely...”

"October 22nd, those old fogies, as long as there are Digimon, it's not like they can't synthesize again. What a bunch of conservative and troublesome old fogies!!!"

"November 7th, hahahaha, how are you all feeling after resting for so long? Feeling much better now! I'm relieved, you'll definitely succeed in merging, I guarantee it!! Hmm? Those old fogies, of course..."

"They're returning to where they belong! Don't worry, I—no! We'll definitely shock all the Digimon!"

"November 20th, hahahaha, I'm so happy! You guys are amazing! You've all merged into one! Amazing, amazing! And you've already evolved, right? You're in your complete form now, no!"

"It's you!! You must have a new name. You are a unique Digimon in the Digital World, a Digimon I created! You are—Hychimeramon!"

(P.S.: The Digital World doesn't display a specific time, so I'm using the real-world month and time as a reference.)

"Hahaha, I must say, as expected of the Digimon I created, it actually managed to break through the isolation chamber's seal, and the power it possesses is truly incredible!!"

"Want to destroy this research institute? Surely! My creation, Hychimeramon, let me witness your power, hahahaha! Unleash your destructive fury, hahahaha—"

"Wow, that's amazing. Is this move called 'Poseidon's Whirlpool'? It uses the high-speed rotation of the body to create a huge whirlpool... That's really impressive. If you were in the sea, your power would probably be even more terrifying."

"I'm about to die, but I'm going to record everything and send it to this research institute. Someone will definitely come! Then I'll show you my magnificent work! Ahhh, I'm going to merge with Hychimera!"

We're one now, hahaha, let me become your strength!!!

Bang-!!

"madman!"

Huangfu Weilai's eyes darkened, and he punched the table through.

He never expected that such a madman would appear in this "Marine Research Institute." The decaying environment outside was due to seawater erosion!

And it's not just ordinary erosion...

At the same time, I also thought about the situation here. Is it because it hasn't been long that it hasn't been completely destroyed?

This is troublesome, as the experimental subject, Hychimera, is likely still nearby, eyeing what may be the people from this "Marine Research Institute."

In other words, he wants to get rid of these Digimon that transported experimental subjects for the "Ocean Research Institute"!

Thinking of this, Huangfu Weilai's face darkened with anger. He was furious that he would have to take the blame for someone else's mistakes.

boom-!!!

A powerful wave emanated from afar.

"What's wrong!"

Ogremon, who was not far away, was suddenly startled and ran towards Huangfu Future.

Hearing Ogremon's voice, Huangfu Weilai's face darkened even more. It wasn't that he was afraid of the Hychimeramon; after all, even at its strongest, it was only a Perfect level, while he himself was a true Ultimate level. Why would he be afraid of not being able to handle a Perfect level?

All?

Huangfu Weilai was very unhappy. He was being made a scapegoat for someone else, and he didn't even know who it was! This caused Huangfu Weilai's dissatisfaction to erupt, and the primal power within him began to stir.

boom! !

Another roar came, and this time it was even closer.

"coming soon."

Ogremon's expression was solemn as he raised the bone club in his hand, as if it could bring him a sense of security. After all, the fluctuations were beyond the range of the Champion stage, far beyond what the current Ogremon could handle.

"Step back and leave it to me."

Huangfu Weilai stepped forward and, without waiting for Hychimeramon to come looking for him, rushed out of the laboratory and into the hall to search for Hychimeramon.

Firstly, he didn't want to destroy any important data that might still exist in the laboratory; secondly, he also wanted to meet Hychimeramon, which combined the advantages of multiple Digimon.

To be honest, he was starting to look forward to it.

boom!

A sound of a city wall breaking rang out, and Huangfu Weilai immediately looked over.

They immediately spotted Hychimera, which was also related to the fact that he hadn't hidden himself.

As expected of a Digimon that combines the strengths of multiple Digimon... Hmph, Hychimeramon, Chimeramon...

Huangfu Future locked her gaze on the Digimon floating in the air.

"roar-"

A roar that was completely unlike that of a fish came from the mouth of the Hychimera, and at the same time its eyes began to turn crimson, and unimaginable killing intent and hatred erupted.

An invisible energy began to gather in Hychimera's horn—actually, it was Sealmon's horn, though it was now his...

"roar-"

A beam of light shot directly at Huangfu Weilai in the air, and everything in its path evaporated completely.

This is Hychimera's skill - Water Serpent!

But he didn't say it, and Huangfu Weilai didn't know either.

However, although he was not familiar with the move, Huangfu Weilai knew that he absolutely could not take this hit, otherwise the data in his body might be evaporated.
