Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

This prompted Huangfu Weilai to nod with a strange expression, which could be considered a response.

Keep it in mind?

Of course he wouldn't take it to heart!

This incident was essentially an accidental demonstration of his new move. Even if he had killed the three Golden Beasts, Huangfu Future would at most have lost his qualification to participate in the competition.

Xuanwu Beast wants him to pay with his life. Not to mention whether Qinglong Beast would agree, the fact that Yanyue Garurumon is stirring up trouble on the other side is enough to make Huangfu Future combine and evolve into Omegamon, possessing the power to contend with the Four Holy Beasts.

So the only reason they haven't killed the three Golden Beasts is that, otherwise, even with the gentle nature of the Black Tortoise Beast, it would be a completely different story.

However, since everyone was alright, the matter was naturally put aside happily.

Even the three Golden Beasts who were almost killed had to swallow their bitter pill and put the matter behind them, blaming themselves for not admitting defeat in time.

Ultimately, the match between number 5 and number 6 ended in victory for Huangfu Weilai and his team.

Time flew by, and the Four Divine Beasts did not hesitate. After Huangfu Weilai and the others finished their match, a new round of competition soon began.

The following matches, however, were completely unexciting. It's not that Ultimate-level battles weren't intense, but having witnessed the clash between the four strongest Ultimate-level beings below the Four Holy Beasts, the other, less exciting matches were utterly lacking.

It can be described as passionate.

Even if the participants feel it's exciting and the competition is intense, for the audience, the subsequent matches are somewhat... unbearable.

Huangfu Weilai and his team didn't pay attention to these matches. Instead, they used the time between the matches to quickly recover their strength.

Especially Huangfu Weilai; those impressive moves she used before came with corresponding power and energy consumption. Therefore, Huangfu Weilai's energy expenditure wasn't just internal, but also affected the other Ultimate-level beings in the other groups.

Those who have suffered significant losses are probably only slightly better off than Heavy Leomon, who is seriously injured and unable to compete.

"Not bad, the new generation of warriors..." Volcanic Rock Dragon Beast said with a smile.

His gaze was fixed on the distance, where the Dragon's Roar team, ranked second in strength, was located—the team that ShineGreymon belonged to.

Now, ShineGreymon and his companions are facing Digimon of the same level as them, and the two sides are engaged in a fierce battle.

Suddenly, ShineGreymon unleashed terrifying power, instantly surpassing the level of Huangfu Future and the others, its strength increasing exponentially.

His entire body was engulfed in deep red flames, which were high-level fire spiritual energy possessing the properties of the sun.

At the same time, the back of it transformed into a launcher resembling a mechanical Digimon jet, from which spewed forth the flame aura of ShineGreymon.

This is ShineGreymon Burst Mode.

Then came the scene of ShineGreymon unleashing its power, crushing its opponent with overwhelming force, and giving its teammate, with a defiant look, indicating its intention to 'help' him defeat the opponent.

However, that Digimon couldn't stand such arrogance, especially since the person was ShineGreymon. It immediately used its trump card, possessing power that barely reached the level of Huangfu Future and the others, and forcefully defeated its opponent.

This is not the power of a 'pattern'. At most, it is like Huangfu Weilai's 'phoenix form' when he was still weak. It is not a proper way to tap into life energy and enhance one's strength. This is a deep-seated power.

At most, it's just about increasing data and power—these are superficial strengths.

Even so, it still gave that Digimon the power to dominate the arena.

Finally, seeing this, the Digimon, who had been locked in a stalemate with their ordinary captain, decisively chose to surrender. After all, with both teammates eliminated, how could he possibly defy the odds alone?

As the Volcanic Rock Dragon Beast was filled with emotion, Huangfu Future also opened his eyes from his recovery. It wasn't that he had recovered his data, but rather that he had felt his own power again.

Gazing at the arena, he suddenly saw ShineGreymon activate its Burst Mode and smiled with satisfaction.

This shows that ShineGreymon made good use of the power it received from Dragon Roar before leaving...

And... they actually developed an explosion mode...

What else can Huangfu Weilai say?

Should we share this power with Slayermon and let ShineGreymon teach him how to activate Burst Mode?

Although he didn't recall a form like Slayermon Burst Mode, the real-world Digital World was full of possibilities. Huangfu Future was a prime example; he unlocked a digital world unlike anything he'd ever seen before.

Omegamon Dual Blade Mode has appeared!

Even if this is based on the possibility that Omegamon itself has multiple forms.

Huangfu Weilai asked the Chaos Dragon Beast which match this was, and the answer was that it was number 9 versus number 10.

Hmm... this means it's almost the final match, and there's a chance Huangfu Weilai will have to play again later. Even though the Chaos Dragon Beast said that the focus of the remaining matches would be on them, Huangfu Weilai still wants to do his part.

The premise is that the opponent is an ultimate form on the same level as them; otherwise, even if Huangfu Future doesn't make a move, it will still be a crushing defeat.

Finally, Huangfu Weilai took one last look at ShinyGreymon, who had won the game and was arguing with its teammates to come back, and then closed its eyes again. There was one last match left, and it needed to race against time to recover, even if it was just a little bit.

That's fine!

Chapter Twenty-Five: Back on Stage

"It's our turn."

Suddenly, the voice of the Chaos Dragon Beast came, and Huangfu Weilai opened his eyes.

"...Is the second round about to begin?" Huangfu Weilai's gaze flickered slightly. "Who is the opponent?"

“It’s Valkyriemon and the others,” Chaosdramon replied.

"really."

Huangfu Weilai had some speculations before. This level of ultimate form collision was still a match selected by lottery. Once could be a coincidence, twice could be an accident, but the third time... was obviously intentional.

It is likely that the four Holy Beasts, who served as judges, were well aware that any combination would be defeated unless they possessed power equal to their own.

Therefore, these ultimate forms were deliberately marked so that they could only choose their opponents from four combinations.

That's how it is now. Huangfu Weilai and his group are facing Valkyriemon, while their previous opponents, the three Goldenmon, are now facing two crippled Diretigermon...

Because Heavy Leomon's injuries are really too severe, there's no way he'll be able to participate in this competition.

This also means that the Diretiger Beast combination is both the easiest and the most difficult to deal with.

They are the easiest to deal with because they only have two people, lacking a key combatant; and they are the most difficult to deal with because they only have two people, meaning they are basically out of the running for the competition. Once they are targeted, they will relentlessly pursue them.

The cost of such a battle is immense; even if we win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory.

After all, while Digimon and his companions might not care about their own situation, their opponents, the Digimon aiming for the championship, certainly couldn't afford to be indifferent to their own circumstances.

"Sigh... To be honest, I still really want to fight the Dire Tiger Beast and the others..." Huangfu Weilai sighed. Even if the Dire Tiger Beast and the others didn't care about his situation, what difference would it make if they went all out?

In Huangfu Weilai's view, he could handle the half-crippled Dire Tiger Beast by himself, and the remaining Golden Sword Lion Beast would be as easy as catching a turtle in a jar.

"What are our points now?" Huangfu Weilai asked.

"Currently... 9 points," the Chaos Dragon Beast replied.

"Wow..." Huangfu Weilai's eyes narrowed. This meant that all three matches had been won, which was a good thing, after all, this was a points-based competition...

"Let's go!" the Volcanic Rock Dragon Beast suddenly said.

Since the Azure Dragonmon had already made the announcement, Valkyriemon and the others flew onto the stage.

"Big Sister..." Ravenmon's gaze shifted to Valkyriemon in the center of their team, "This match is probably going to be very difficult to win..."

Huangfu Future's actions truly frightened more than just one Digimon. Even knowing that Huangfu Future's move would have significant limitations, who knew if he still had the strength to launch another attack?

"Then let's do our best." Valkyriemon said calmly. After playing this far, she could tell that Suzakumon didn't seem to have much desire to win, even though they were one of the candidates for the championship.

Well! Excluding the group of Dire Tiger Beasts who crippled the team, the three Golden Village Beasts were too exhausted by Huangfu Future, so the outcome was basically decided between them, since they all preserved more of their strength.

"I won't give up so easily!" the phoenix said, its eyes gleaming.

Upon hearing this, Valkyrie glanced at him and ignored him. He wasn't strong, yet his pride was so high... He should at least have assessed the difference in strength between them before speaking.

The mere presence of Huangfu Future and Volcanic Rock Dragonmon gave Valkyriemon a feeling of being unable to resist. Even if Huangfu Future were excluded now, she wouldn't have the confidence to win against Volcanic Rock Dragonmon.

Because the restraint was too great.

So, what can the Phoenix Beast and Raven Beast, which are inferior to it, use to stop Huangfu Future and Chaos Dragon Beast?

Valkyrie had almost foreseen the final outcome.

Of course, even so, she would not give up; that's not in her nature. Even knowing the outcome, she would fight to the very end! This is one of the origins of her name as a Valkyrie.

Soon, both sides returned to the arena and, without any probing, went all out from the start.

Because their moves had basically been revealed in previous matches.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying energy beam was unleashed by the Chaos Dragon Beast.

The phoenix beast responded by flapping its wings to create a dazzling golden light.

Raven Beast, wielding the [Wu Wang Wan], charged towards Huangfu Future.

In response, Huangfu Weilai, wielding the Chrysanthemum Sword, echoed his choice and charged towards the opponent.

Clang——

The collision of metals and the sparks from friction burst forth in a blaze of color.

"Roar--"

The Volcanic Rock Dragon Beast let out a resounding dragon roar, its entire body enveloped in temperatures exceeding those of magma, and flew straight towards the Valkyrie Beast.

In response, Valkyriemon naturally wouldn't foolishly rush towards it for close combat. Instead, it chose to use its agility to draw its bow and arrow and fire at Volcanic Dragonmon from a distance.

The brilliant sparks once again echoed in the arena, but compared to the first round, they were undoubtedly slightly dimmer.

After all, they had all gone through a round of depletion and were no longer at their peak. Naturally, they had begun to be more careful in their use of data energy.

Even Huangfu Weilai felt the same way. Looking at the raven that was entangled with him, if he were in his prime, he could use his moves without any restraint and take down this darting raven in no time.

However, Huangfu Weilai is no longer at his peak. In fact, his power has been severely depleted. Even though he still has a lot of energy in his body, it is power that can only be used in critical moments.

Thus, Huangfu Weilai engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Raven Beast.

Although he can't use his ultimate move, Huangfu Future's fighting skills are not weak. He evolved into Armored Beast after a lot of battles and achieved a record of '100 wins'.

Therefore, he was able to dominate the Raven Beast in close combat.

But the Raven Beast was exceptionally agile, taking its 'clingy' ability to the extreme.

Once in danger, they would quickly retreat, and when Huangfu Weilai tried to change his target, they would quickly entangle him again, repeating this process repeatedly, which was quite disgusting.

Even if Huangfu Future admires the ability to entangle a Digimon stronger than herself, she would no longer appreciate it if that target were herself.

Then, they focused their attacks specifically on the raven beasts.

Meanwhile, the battle between Volcanic Rock Dragon and Valkyriemon is gradually intensifying.

Flames surpassing magma clashed with extreme cold, seemingly evenly matched, but in reality, Valkyrie was already at a disadvantage. Without a powerful attack or help from others, defeat was inevitable.

That was her destined fate.

Naturally, the Valkyrie would not sit idly by and wait for its doom. Endless chill began to gather, and the sword and bow began to resonate.

P.S.: Time to eat rice~~ I'll continue later.

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Outcome is Decided

"Fenrir's Arrow—!!!"

The dazzling ice sword, tinged with pale gold, struck directly at the Volcanic Rock Dragon Beast.

Wherever it passed, ice formed!

"Heh, is this the level of attack?" The Volcanic Rock Dragon Beast laughed, sensing the sharpness emanating from afar, while simultaneously feeling the chill that seemed to freeze the space around it, sealing off any chance of escape...

That's what severely damaged Heavy Leomon back then!

But now he's facing me, my Volcanic Rock Dragon Beast! Our strengths are on completely different levels!!!

With a silent roar, the Volcanic Rock Dragon Beast's entire body suddenly erupted with terrifying temperature, and beneath the cracks in its rock-like skin, magma-like red patterns began to surge.

Instantly, the temperature around him rose sharply again.

A large amount of heat energy was condensed in his mouth. The Volcanic Rock Dragon Beast's eyes lit up, and it opened its huge mouth. At the same time, an extreme heat surged out, and it was a color completely different from normal flames—white flames!

In stark contrast to the rock-black color, this white flame contained a temperature starting at over 1000 degrees Celsius, a level that previous flames, which exceeded the temperature of magma, had not reached.

This is Volcanic Rock Dragon's strongest attack to date—[White Flame - Volcanic Burst]
