Chapter 54 Negotiation Preparation

"It seems the City of the Dead is looking for us!"

The noble pumpkin beast continued to cook pumpkin dishes for its companions as always, but also brought some bad news.

"How long can we hold out here?"

Wrestling Volcanomon looked at Noble Pumpkinmon and asked, "The Digital World has a lot of advanced technology, and I believe it won't be long before they come knocking on our door. As the connection between this place and the outside world, Noble Pumpkinmon is naturally the first person to ask."

"Hmm...it's hard to say."

The noble Pumpkinmon shrugged. If they couldn't find the advanced technology, they'd resort to unscientific methods, like metaphysics, or the divination and deduction of Digimon like Sakuyamon. That seemed plausible. But then again, it really was difficult.

To estimate the time.

“However…” The Noble Pumpkin Beast looked at Huangfu Future and Ogre Beast beside it and said, “News has come from the City of the Dead that they want to negotiate with us. Should we go back to them…”

Although their gazes were directed at Ogremon, they were more focused on Huangfu Future, since he was the one who had contributed the most.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Weilai immediately understood.

This is an inquiry into whether to continue, since Deathmon's reputation and strength in the Dark Zone are truly formidable. Only those Digimon who have always lived in the Dark Zone know Deathmon's power.

Their initial goal was simply to make Deathmon back down and stop bothering Ogremon, which seemed sufficient.

But now the initiative is no longer in Ogremon's hands, but in Huangfu Future's.

This isn't because the noble pumpkin beasts are cowards; it's simply the reality. When there's no guarantee of annihilation, negotiation is the ideal solution. The death beast's willingness to yield has undoubtedly achieved their goal.

The result I expected.

As long as things go smoothly, Ogremon and the others will be fine.

Of course, it also requires the strength to negotiate on equal footing with the Death Beasts, and that relationship is Huangfu Future.

Noticing the gaze of the noble Pumpkin Beast, Huangfu Future ignored it for the time being and instead looked at Ogre Beast, meeting its gaze.

After all, Huangfu Future was initially attracted by Ogremon. She first used the negative crystal to strengthen herself, and then she ended up losing herself because of the X-Antibody.

Before researching how to autonomously evolve into Armored Kingmon, Huangfu Future still had to consider Ogremon's feelings to some extent. Moreover, Ogremon, who could already fuse and evolve with Huangfu Future, could be considered, in a way, one of their own.

Although they couldn't have a heart-to-heart conversation, Huangfu Weilai still wanted to hear Ogamon's thoughts on some small matters.

Indeed, in Huangfu Weilai's eyes, everything that happened in the Dark Zone, including the Death Beast, was trivial. Aside from the fact that he was about to die at the hands of the Oarfish Beast, Huangfu Weilai didn't seem to care much about anything else.

want.

"...Are you confident?"

After a moment's thought, Ogremon asked.

"???"

Huangfu Weilai didn't understand. Ogremon hadn't explained it clearly, and he and Ogremon weren't on the same wavelength. However, he could still vaguely guess what Ogremon was thinking.

It's nothing more than dealing with the Death Beast or negotiating, and whether or not you're confident in your ability to succeed.

Therefore, Huangfu Weilai decisively replied, "No!"

"Well…"

This decisive action even made Ogremon swallow hard.

This is indeed the case. In combat, Huangfu Wei believes he can hold his own against the Death Beast, but in negotiation... sorry, I'm really not good at it. Let's leave these things to the specialists.

I cannot do that...

"So, should we accept the Death Beast's offer of negotiation?"

"Frankenstein's monster said in a deep, muffled voice."

"The Feast at Hongmen...?"

Huangfu Weilai pondered, regardless of whether it was true or not, he had to be fully prepared, at least not to be surrounded and beaten to death like dogs being unleashed behind closed doors. After all, it was the enemy's stronghold, and he still needed to weigh his own strength before going there.

In fact, they are now leaning towards accepting negotiations. After all, if they continue to face a large power, unless they have a strong backer or leave the dark area, they should just lie low for the rest of their lives.

Considering the lifespan of Ultimate-level Digimon, it would probably be a considerable amount of time.

The strong will always get stronger. By plundering the resources of a region, the Death Beast is destined to become even more powerful, while those who hide here and there may eventually not even have the right to fight to the death.

Therefore, if we're going to talk, we must talk it out!

"Ogremon, does Deathmon also have crystals similar to yours?"

Huangfu Weilai suddenly asked Ogremon, after all, if there wasn't something similar, would Deathmon have bothered to go to such lengths to get the technology Ogremon possessed?

"some."

Ogremon nodded affirmatively. In fact, when Deathmon demanded Ogremon's technology, he had already somewhat suspected that Deathmon possessed a similar energy storage device and was using it to...

Energy is purified using technology.

"The Death Beast... he might be about to take another step forward..."

Ogremon said in a deep voice, his words filled with deep apprehension.

"Going a step further... black...?"

Huangfu Weilai vaguely remembered that there was a subspecies of Death Beast, which was a virus species that transformed into a god of destruction—Death Beast (Black). Regardless of how high his prestige was, what mattered was his strength.

As the Digimon of the manga tamer Neo Iori, its prestige was completely crushed by Taichi Yagami's Zeromaru. Although it defeated Zeromaru at its Champion level, Zeromaru's Perfect level evolution, which was like a cheat code, utterly humiliated it.

It's below the average level of Ultimate-level beings, although Zero Maru is also too strong...

In the reboot, it appears as one of the dark bosses, only a shadowy figure. Although it seems powerful, it was still easily defeated by the three angels, not only Death Beast, but also Millennium Beast, which is above Death Beast.

Even Millenniumon was destroyed! Is this something the three angels could do?

Even if Lucemon were to arrive, they'd be in serious trouble; this is just ridiculously overpowered...

If we had an Omegamon Mercy Mode... after all, it has a pair of pure white wings, so why not have it act as an angel for a bit? That would make it believable that it could defeat Millenniumon, since Millenniumon does have some kind of buff in the lore.

In fact, not even Omegamon appeared; it was just the three angels plus a regular Ultimate-level Selected Digimon. This is probably going to be a disaster...

Returning to the topic, although Deathmon's strength is somewhat exaggerated based on past records, this is the real-world Digital World, and Huangfu Future dares not underestimate anyone, because one wrong move and he's done for.

In fact, if Huangfu Weilai were to follow his own ideas, he would decide to lie low for a while and wait until his strength surpasses that of the Death Beast before eliminating it once and for all.

Seeing their eager expressions, Huangfu Weilai sighed inwardly, then straightened up and said seriously, "In that case, let's negotiate with the Death Beast, but even if we're negotiating, we must be prepared...

…blablabla~”

P.S.: Something's come up later, so the update will be delayed. I figured you don't need to wait until tonight, just read it in the morning!

Chapter 55 On the Eve of Negotiations

Huangfu Weilai and the noble pumpkin beast began to discuss, or rather, Huangfu Weilai told them what she planned to do, and then waited for their additions or objections.

"I have a question," the wrestling volcano beast was the first to raise, continuing, "How do we retreat..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Weilai fell silent for a moment. Thinking of an escape route before even engaging in battle—should I call you cautious and prudent, or cowardly and afraid of trouble…?

But in the end, Huangfu Weilai clearly told the Wrestling Volcano Beast, "No!"

"......ha?"

"I mean there's no way to retreat! I didn't plant any traitors in the City of the Dead..."

"..."

WrestlingVolcanomon fell silent, and not only him, but all the Digimon present fell silent.

After all, Huangfu's future plan had no way out, and the risks were enormous. If they failed, they would face annihilation in an encirclement.

How could one not hesitate? No one would risk their life, not even a close friend, unless that person is mentally unstable...

"Negotiations with the Death Beast are just wishful thinking if there is no equal strength. Only by having equal strength can we get the results we want. At the same time, don't expect this to be without risk."

Huangfu Weilai glanced at them and continued.

He's now handing the decision over to them. In Huangfu Weilai's eyes, he's just a high-level henchman hired by Ogremon, especially since he has no intention of living in the Dark Zone. So, whether or not he offends Deathmon is not a question for Huangfu Weilai.

It seems like it's really not a big deal.

Even if he offends them to death, once he dives into the Digital World, with Huangfu Future backed by the Dragon's Roar, he really doesn't believe that the Death Beasts would dare to chase him outside.

Therefore, he gave the choice to Ogremon and the others.

"Let's do it!"

Ogremon sighed, then said firmly.

This was not due to his fusion and evolution with Huangfu Future, but rather the result of a truly rational and deliberate decision.

The moment Ogremon spoke, his companions all turned to look at Ogremon, waiting for his response.

Ogremon didn't keep them waiting any longer, speaking directly: "We must reach a conclusion with Deathmon, otherwise..."

Although the conversation wasn't finished, everyone knew the outcome, so they nodded in agreement.

Ogremon continued, "But in order to prevent Deathmon from wiping us out in one fell swoop, let's split into two groups. One of us will come with me and BlackWarGreymon, while the other two will provide backup outside. What do you think?"

'Hmm...not bad, but you don't quite believe in my abilities...'

After listening to Ogremon's explanation, Huangfu Weilai secretly admired him. Previously, Huangfu Weilai's method, seemingly mindless with everyone acting together, actually possessed 'rewriting privileges' and could effectively counteract them in dangerous situations.

Only by seizing the opportunity can we maximize the use of the power of our 'comrades'.

Now, Ogremon's approach is to dismantle Huangfu Future's power, but considering that Ogremon only has a superficial understanding of Huangfu Future's 'rewriting authority', it is still understandable.

Huangfu Future thought it was incredibly foolish to send out two other Digimon to provide backup. Since Deathmon might blockade the city and try to kill them, they would never be defeated by the two outside.

Therefore, some additional information is still needed...

The premise is that this plan can be approved.

"I agreed."

"Agree."

"No comment."

'Why make a decision so quickly! This discrimination is too obvious!!!'

Huangfu Weilai's face remained expressionless, but his heart was roaring wildly, and even the corners of his eyes twitched.

"In that case, let's finalize this plan."

After speaking, Ogremon glanced at Huangfu Future, signaling with its eyes that there was nothing else to add.

however……

To Huangfu Weilai, this was blatant boasting, which made his forehead twitch. It took him a great deal of effort to calm himself down before he added in a cold voice, "Have the Digimon outside make contact with Deathmon's enemy."

"Let's talk about forces... The reason is that DeathBeast wants to take another step in the Ultimate level and complete its second Ultimate evolution, and now is the perfect time to destroy it!"

Will they believe it?

The noble pumpkin beast gave Huangfu Weilai a strange look, seemingly puzzled by his indifference, but without thinking much about it, the noble pumpkin beast threw out a new question.

"Hmph, so it's all up to you now!"

"I?"

“That’s right! You and Frankenstein’s monster go outside to meet us, and Wrestling Volcano Beast will accompany us into the city.” Huangfu Weilai said, then turned to Wrestling Volcano Beast and said, “Is that okay?”

"..."

You've already made your decision, so why are you asking for my opinion?

The wrestling volcano beast stared at Huangfu Weilai with dead fish eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Okay, okay..."

"So, I'm counting on you while I'm out there."

"...I'll do my best."

Huangfu Weilai smiled inwardly, his eyes slightly narrowed. It wasn't that Huangfu Weilai harbored any grudge against the Wrestling Volcano Beast and wanted to send it to a dangerous place; rather, it was because the Wrestling Volcano Beast's energy was the same as Huangfu Weilai's.

It also belongs to the power of 'fire'.
