Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

"not good!"

Although he didn't know what ChaosGreymon was planning, his intuition told Gallantmon that this was not a good thing.

As expected, upon hearing ChaosGreymon's call, the Digimon named Nidhoggmon roared loudly in response. The next moment, a scorching light erupted from the dragon's body, firmly binding it.

The Royal Knights are besieging the city.

Immediately, he packed up the royal knights who had besieged him and took them away to... the underground place where he had been before.

"Don't even think about it! Royal Gunfire-!!!"

Crimson Knight Beast's pupils contracted, and it suddenly leaped out, a blinding blue light instantly condensing at the tip of its spear before being unleashed by the Holy Lance!

"That's what I should be saying! Don't even think about it!!"

Seemingly ignored repeatedly by Gallantmon, ChaosGreymon was enraged. He was already prepared and could not be overcome by Gallantmon's hasty attack.

"Shield of Chaos!"

ChaosGreymon roared, and the shield on its back automatically appeared in front of it, transforming into a solid defense. Furthermore, the surrounding chaotic energy was frantically absorbed, then transformed into a gray shield that directly blocked the red...

The attack of Lotus Knightmon.

If we miss this opportunity, there will be no way to stop Nidhogg.

Under Gallantmon's fiery gaze, Nidhoggmon vanished rapidly, and the ground returned to its original state. This was because Nidhoggmon's massive body didn't reside underground in this base camp, but rather in another realm...

It was because of the space that it was able to respond to ChaosGreymon's call so promptly.

"You've gone to such lengths to separate my companions from me, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Gallantmon regained his composure and immediately recalled the outcome of the previous battle. It seemed that the ChaosGreymon in front of him was coming for him.

"Hmph hmph hmph, hmph ha ha ha ha ha one"

"

"Hmph haha ​​...

Suddenly, ChaosGreymon seemed to have heard a very funny joke and burst into laughter. A laugh that was both hysterical and maniacal.

Seeing this, Gallantmon did not launch an attack rashly, but looked at ChaosGreymon with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

Seemingly noticing Gallantmon's gaze, ChaosGreymon calmed down, his broken expression returning to its initial inscrutable state, even though he was already seen as broken in Gallantmon's mind...

"I'm asking you!" ChaosGreymon glared fiercely at Gallantmon and questioned him.

"Why did I join the Royal Knights? Why did I become Gallantmon?! Why?!?!"

ChaosGreymon seemed to have lost its composure, roaring out its inner obsession.

"!"

Crimson Knightmon's eyes were instantly filled with astonishment. Judging from the other party's expression... it seemed... this was my fault again...

This scene looks rather familiar...

It seems that the Volcanic Rock Dragonmon was like that before, except that it wasn't questioning, but simply demanding an answer. But the ChaosGreymon before me…

A flash of realization crossed Gallantmon's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "You are... the BlackWarGreymon from Dragon's Roar?"

“Once upon a time!” ChaosGreymon sneered.

"..."

Okay, needless to say, this is my fault...

Gallantmon inwardly smiled bitterly. BlackWarGreymon... was one of his subordinates... essentially his messenger. Although not as tall as Magmamon, it was much closer in height to Devamon, because...

He is the messenger of the Destroyer Dragon Beast.

However, during a major battle, BlackWarGreymon went missing. In that frenzied battle, its disappearance... basically says something.

Originally, Crimson Knightmon was about to forget about these things, but now his old subordinate has been brought out... This feeling is hard to describe.

"This is... to save the Roar of the Dragon, to prevent further casualties, and to protect the next generation!"

After a long silence, Gallantmon finally spoke in a low voice, but as he spoke, Gallantmon's voice grew louder and louder, and finally his eyes were fixed on ChaosGreymon.

"Instead of someone like you, what for? Revenge on the world? You've plunged the entire Digital World into these chaotic crises—unforgivable!"

"Hahahaha - I am unforgivable, I am unforgivable - are you just going to stand here on high and mighty and judge me like this?"

"Even after that, I still contributed to the Dragon's Roar, but what about you?!"

"Once you joined the Royal Knights, you essentially severed all support for Dragon's Roar. Aside from maintaining contact with the former Four Great Dragons, what else have you done?!"

"Is it your identity as a Royal Knight that's binding you?"

"You are no longer the person I once admired, the Destroyer Dragon Beast who wielded immense power yet used reason to govern it, and who used it to protect the Dragon's Roar!"

A powerful surge of data began to erupt from ChaosTyrannomon's entire body. With the support of its territory, its data volume, which had barely reached the level of the Four Holy Beasts, began to expand rapidly.

"That's a narrow-minded view," Gallantmon shouted, using his shield to block the data shockwave unleashed by ChaosGreymon. "I was just... originally just protecting Dragon's Roar, but now I'm becoming the cybersecurity expert for this Digital World."

"I have voluntarily chosen to be the supreme guardian of all!"

"I had no choice but to protect the Dragon's Roar of that time!"

Gallantmon's eyes were serious as he tried to explain to ChaosGreymon that he... ultimately wanted to persuade him to turn back.

"Can't you tell, or are you pretending nothing happened?!"

"You're a Royal Knight, can't you even tell what the World Tree looks like?!"

"Once, when Dragon's Roar was at its peak, the Dragon Emperor joined the Royal Knights, marking a turning point in Dragon's Roar's decline; afterwards, with the support of the Four Great Dragons, we finally achieved a golden age, but what happened?"

A ferocious expression and utter resentment appeared on ChaosGreymon's face.

"A great war uniting numerous digital races broke out, all in response to the Roar of the Dragon. And then what?"

"As one of the Four Great Dragons, you were able to calm things down only after joining the Royal Knights."

"If it weren't for the Omegamon of the Yellow Dragon Territory advancing to the top-tier Ultimate level, uniting with other large forces to form the Four Holy Beasts, the Yellow Dragon Territory would not be what it is today."

"Is there going to be a next time, another combined attack with Dragon's Roar, and then have that Omegamon join the Royal Knights?!"

A mocking smile appeared on ChaosGreymon's face, seemingly laughing at Gallantmon's ignorance.

"..."

Crimson Knightmon remained silent, utterly speechless.

He certainly wouldn't be swayed by ChaosGreymon's words; after all, his will was extremely firm, especially since Yggdrasil was truly contributing to the peace and stability of the Digital World, making it even less likely that he would waver.

This made Gallantmon waver.

It might be possible to hide for a short time, but five thousand years is a considerable amount of time for an Ultimate-level Digimon. How did Yggdrasil endure this?

Even in the earliest days, when Omegamon joined the Royal Knights, he didn't believe that Omegamon would go against his own sense of "justice" and help Yggdrasil against his conscience.

Rather than saying he believed in the World Tree, it would be more accurate to say he believed in Omegamon's judgment.

"Hmph, I have nothing more to say to you. Let us perish together with this world!"

Looking at Gallantmon, ChaosGreymon knew he couldn't persuade him, since he didn't have any persuasive skills, so... only force was the only way.

The ChaosGreymon was enveloped in pitch-black data, and behind him appeared the figure of a demonic dragon, the figure of his former superior.

The next moment, the pitch-black data dispersed, revealing the pitch-black Chaos Knight, and at the same time, the data volume surged to the level of a top-tier ultimate form.

This is!"

Gallantmon's pupils contracted as he looked at the familiar figure and felt a sense of complete opposition to himself. He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. This is... Omegamon, is this what you used to feel?

Unlike the "positive" that Gallantmon possesses, it is the completely opposite position, namely "anti"!

The dark Chaos Knight tossed his cloak, revealing his true form.

"I am... ChaosDukemon!"

P.S.: Today's amount of writing, plus the 1000 words I owed before, hehe, I feel so relieved to be debt-free! 9 (@^o^@)

Chapter Twenty-Two: Two Battlefields

"you……"

Crimson Knightmon looked at the familiar dark figure, opened its mouth, but didn't know what to say, and froze on the spot for a moment.

However, the fact that Gallantmon didn't intend to do anything doesn't mean that Dukemon didn't want to do anything.

Clang

Chaos Dukemon raised the [Magic Spear Balmonk] in its right hand and the [Magic Shield Gorgon] in its left hand.

The terrifying data energy was released without concealment, manifesting outwardly as black chaotic energy swirling around his body, making the Chaos Dukemon's figure appear even more terrifying.

Like a demonic dragon, like a vengeful ghost—

"I have nothing to say to you!"

Chaos Duke Beast roared, at this moment, he was the calamity born from chaos, bringing harm to the world, the dark gray knight!

boom!

ChaosDukemon suddenly leaped out, the air seeming like a solid floor, creating a hollow and a loud sound as it stepped on it. Using this momentum, ChaosDukemon thrust its demonic spear downwards.

Crimson Knight Beast's expression hardened. In that instant, he could clearly feel the air being torn apart by the demonic spear, as well as the hidden sharpness within it.

"Since words can't persuade you, then... I'll show you my power."

Crimson Knightmon's expression turned solemn. In a very short time, he finished speaking without defending himself. Instead, he raised the [Holy Lance Gramme], which resembled that of Chaos Dukemon, and thrust it fiercely at the demonic spear.

sizzle-

Intense sparks erupted from the tips of the Demon Spear and the Holy Spear. They tacitly avoided covering their spears with energy; this thrust was both a test and a contest.

At this moment, the competition, which resembles a tug-of-war, is not about 'pulling' but about 'pushing'!

Right now, it's a pure contest of strength between the two sides, where sheer force can produce miracles!

Not good...

Gallantmon stared at the tip of the spear, watching the sparks from the collision, and at the ChaosDukemon, which was faintly obscured by the sparks.

In terms of pure strength... I seem to be a little lacking.

'Is it the venue's advantage?'

'No--'

'We didn't use any energy; the venue could only provide additional energy...'

'......

I must admit, I was outmatched in terms of strength...

Is this what that kid meant by "turning evil makes you three times stronger"...?

That was spot on... although not quite three times as exaggerated...

In that case——

Crimson Knight Beast's eyes flickered, and the Holy Spear, which had already been slightly suppressed, gradually pressed towards its opponent, while a massive amount of energy condensed at the spear tip—

[Compressed Version: Royal Gunfight]!

"Hmph, you can't hold back anymore?"

ChaosDukemon gave a mocking smile, but he still consciously used a similar skill to withstand the pressure from Gallantmon.

[The Calamity of Demons]!

The pitch black and deep blue began a new round of competition, with surging energy spreading from their centers.

This is the result of them being unable to suppress the outpouring of energy.

"Ah……"

"Humph……"

Crimson Knightmon chuckled softly, while Chaos Dukemon snorted coldly.

Now it's ChaosDukemon's turn to be slightly inferior.

Compared to Gallantmon, who has lived for over a thousand years in his 'Gallantmon' form, ChaosDukemon is still at a disadvantage in terms of energy control.
