Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

"It seems these monsters won't disappear unless the source is addressed," said Beelzemon X. It's worth noting that even he, one of the Seven Demon Lords living in the Dark Zone, referred to DeathDoruGreymon as a monster; this speaks volumes.

This monster is so troublesome!

"Damn World Tree!" Crimson Knight Beast X's good mood vanished completely, and he cursed his former master with a dark expression.

"Hmph, do you know where the resistance is located?" Fallen Hellbeast X chuckled twice, then asked a crucial question: Where are they going to find the resistance?

"You don't need to worry about that. Even when I had the thought of leaving, I concealed the information I had found about a rebel stronghold and didn't send the Royal Knights to wipe it out. And now, facing this crisis, they..."

"The only way to escape the attacks of DeathDorogremon is to move to a safe place. Let's go there first, and we'll eventually hear from them," said Gallantmon X.

"Hahaha, since you've already made the arrangements, I'll just follow you." Fallen Hellbeast X laughed heartily. More like a warrior than a 'Demon King,' he disliked mentally taxing tasks in the first place.

Since it was his job, it was actually more in line with his wishes for Crimson Knight Beast X to arrange everything.

"Let's go!" Crimson Knightmon X was the first to leave, since DeathDorogremon had the advantage of encircling them again, and they had to hurry.

Beelzemon X naturally followed in Crimson Knightmon X's footsteps and left.

Soon, the clear sky was completely covered by shadows, and countless sharp and hoarse sounds began to shriek, resuming their journey of devouring data.

·.

"What are you trying to do? Are you betraying us?!" Skullmon stared at the digital chains binding its body, now covered in seals, and felt its limp body. Its rage surged even higher.

He glared angrily at the royal knights who were the culprits who had betrayed him in a 'righteous betrayal'.

"You've been saying this for days, aren't you tired of it? Can't you just shut up and wait until everything calms down?" UltimateVeedramon glanced speechlessly at Skullmon. This guy seemed to have his loyalty to Yggdrasil etched on his forehead.

The individuals who restricted his personal freedom and prevented him from carrying out his mission harbored deep malice.

"What a joke! I am a Royal Knight! To be loyal to my master and carry out his orders, what's wrong with that!" Skullmon continued to glare angrily at UltimateVeedramon.

"Moreover, you intend to betray us, don't you! To betray our master—the great World Tree!"

"Yes, yes~ Say what you want, but it's impossible for me to slaughter a bunch of 'citizens'. Not stopping the World Tree is our greatest loyalty to it!" Ultimate V-Dragon chuckled, but Skull

However, the beast sensed the unwavering will of UltimateVeedramon within those seemingly joking words.

He wasn't joking!

The Skull Beast clearly understood this, but...

"Then why are you trying to stop me from being loyal to the World Tree? I can understand that you don't approve but aren't taking action; the World Tree will make the decision eventually. But... why are you dragging me into this! Why are you trying to stop me?"

"Why—stop me from being loyal to the World Tree!!!" The skull beast's calm words were cut short as anger clouded his mind, and his loud question echoed and reverberated in the small space.

—You know, this is a rare big mission for me! In the past, I was always the one guarding the World Tree, and I never got to do any missions, let alone something this big that affects the entire Digital World…

"Ah~ this~"

Upon hearing this, UltimateVeedramon awkwardly scratched its head, somewhat... reluctant to speak.

"Speak up!!!"

"Hmm~~, Examon was worried you'd interfere with Omegamon Alter-S's actions, so it restricted your movements first. I reckon right now, Omegamon is the only one holding up the Royal Knights' space, even though..."

It's a bit unfair, but...the capable should do more, right?

(Fragrant Beast: Damn! Did you guys forget about someone? (▼皿▼#)!)

"..."

Upon hearing this, the skull beast fell into a long silence.

Only when UltimateVeedramon thought Skullmon had finally quieted down did he speak slowly: "Are you sure you're not playing me, or looking for a chance to get revenge? I don't have the power to cause him trouble. If you really wanted to help him, you..."

Why didn't you tie up Omegamon...?

"Uh hahaha..." UltimateVeedramon chuckled awkwardly, finally admitting frankly, "...It's just that we can't beat them!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the skull beast fell into a long silence once again.

That's true, but... couldn't you have been a little more tactful?

Speaking such blunt truths, no wonder you don't have many friends. If I were your friend, I'd probably be furious. No—right now, as your colleague, I'm already practically 'furious' to death!

"Hahaha, actually, if Magnadramon hadn't disappeared so early, our primary target should have been him." UltimateVeedramon laughed, revealing another big secret: they—had done something inappropriate to Magnadramon.

The heart...

After hearing this, Skullmon felt a little better. Although it was an unspoken consensus, hearing from UltraVeedramon that he was stronger than Magnadramon was still quite pleasing.

It would be even better if we weren't in a 'cage'!

"UltraVeedramon!"

Suddenly, the door to this small space was opened, and the stubborn beast's powerful roar could be heard from afar.

"What's wrong, old man?" UltraVeedramon asked, sensing the urgency in Gankomon's voice!

"A group of data-devouring monsters has appeared and is currently encroaching on the seas of the New World. Examon is currently annihilating them, but their numbers seem outrageously large!" Gutmon shouted, explaining the situation in just a few words.

It's clear.

"So, you're saying to gather all our forces, right?" UltimateVeedramon's eyes flickered. Since Gankomon had come to inform him, it certainly wasn't to tell him to leave. Did that mean the situation was so critical that even Examon needed help?

“Yes! Including you, Skullmon!” Stubbornmon nodded vigorously, then changed the subject and looked at Skullmon.

"I—? You're willing to let me out, aren't you afraid I'll betray you?" the skull beast said.

However, Gankomon destroyed the digital chains that were restricting Skullmon without hesitation, and UltraVeedramon did not stop it.

"Right now, those monsters are devouring data; the concept of the sea is about to be completely consumed. Once we fall, these monsters will advance straight into the central core of the new world's continent! At that point, not only this world, but also the World Tree..."

"We're all going to suffer, tell me—Skull Beast, what's your choice?" the Stubborn Beast said solemnly.

The Skull Beast's pupils contracted, wanting to doubt the Stubborn Beast's claims, but the return of its power and the opening of this small space allowed the Skull Beast to 'see' the outside world clearly—a vast number of unimaginable creatures.

Code beasts are devouring the world; wherever they go, data collapses into the most primitive void.

They...were not lying!

"Damn it—" the skull beast roared, summoning its magic spear and magic shield, and then rushed out of the small space.

At the same time, Skullmon's fierce voice reached the ears of UltimateVeedramon and Gankomon: "I'll remember this. I'll settle the score with you later!"

Upon hearing this, both UltimateVeedramon and Gankomon smiled in unison.

"Let's talk again when you have the combat power of a top-tier ultimate level!"

"Although I want to retire, this old man is still gotta keep my bones up!"

The blue hurricane and the phantom of the Vulcan rushed out simultaneously, chasing after the skull beast's back and joining the sweeping frenzy.

"Has it started? I'm waiting for you!" In the crystal-clear, pure white space, a pure white figure opened its eyes and said this.

Chapter 54 The Appearance of Magnamon, WarGreymon X's Severe Blade Mode

"Damn it, where did these Digimon come from?!"

MetalGarurumon X opened its mouth, revealing its full armor and spewing out angry tongues of fire.

"Drink"

The "thrusters" on its back unleashed a tremendous thrust, propelling WarGreymon X like an arrow. Simultaneously, it raised its "Dragon Slayer" weapon and delivered a powerful blow to a DeathDoruGreymon.

A heart-to-heart intimate contact.

"This can't go on. You cover the survivors' retreat!" WarGreymon X casually tossed aside the DeathDoruGreymon that hadn't yet disintegrated into data, and said to MetalGarurumon X, his words firm and clear.

The cut indicates that he is there to cover the rear!

"But... you can't hold them off alone for long. Let's work together. We should entrust the survivors we've sheltered to our reliable companions!" MetalGarurumon X said. When it comes to sacrificing others, perhaps MetalGarurumon...

Lulumon X might hesitate, but if it comes to sacrificing himself, he can stand up without hesitation. WarGreymon X is the same way. Perhaps... that's why they can become such close friends!

Now, facing WarGreymon X, who shares the same resolve, MetalGarurumon X isn't unwilling to sacrifice WarGreymon X to cover the retreat; it's just that the sheer number of DeathGreymon...

One person is probably far from enough!

In order to buy more time for the survivors to evacuate, MetalGarurumon X decided to stay behind as well.

"No!" However, WarGreymon X refused without hesitation.

With terrifying fiery energy gathering, WarGreymon X unleashed its signature move – Gaia Energy Cannon – towards the numerous DeathDoraGreymon!

He then continued, "We can't cause any more trouble for our companions!"

"The number of survivors is protected by us Ultimate-level Digimon. If we let others protect the survivors we are guarding, they will be too busy!"

This isn't just idle talk. Although the survivors they're protecting currently only have two Ultimate-level Digimon, WarGreymon X and MetalGarurumon X, in contrast, other survivor bases possess multiple Ultimate-level Digimon, only differing in quality.

Quantity over quantity!

The shift work between WarGreymon X and MetalGarurumon X is very simple. One person only needs to stay at the base while the other can go out to find other survivors or resources.

After all, they are stronger than ordinary Ultimate-level beings. Although they are not as strong as the Royal Knights, escaping from them is still not a problem.

Therefore, the number of survivors they took in was the largest, but also the least combat-capable.

The majority of the personnel are infancy and growth stages that need protection, while those in mature or fully developed stages capable of forming combat power are extremely rare.

The existence of WarGreymon X and MetalGarurumon X is the pillar of this survivor base; once they are lost, their destruction will not be far off.

WarGreymon X's meaning was also clear: he believed that without the two of them, such a large but powerless survivor would probably not be able to reach the location of the other base.

Even handing these survivors over to their X-antibody companions couldn't protect them.

Because of their large numbers, the risk of exposure is also huge, and it also means that the usual patterns of those survivor bases will be disrupted, and even the resources they left behind will be of no use.

Simply put, there's a shortage of supplies!

The other survivor bases didn't have the abilities of WarGreymon X and the others. They risked their lives to find supplies, constantly teetering on the brink of death, because if they encountered Royal Knights...

There's absolutely no way to escape back.

The massive influx of people would definitely deplete the resources of other survivor bases, especially since they would be forced to "support" their "children" who were still unable to fight.

Where there are Digimon, there is competition. Although WarGreymon X is righteous, he is not naive.

So, in order not to make things difficult for their companions and to increase their risk of exposure, WarGreymon X decided to rely on themselves to solve the problem. But all of this had one condition: one of them had to survive!

The candidate WarGreymon X wanted to recommend was MetalGarurumon X...

In the blink of an eye, MetalGarurumon X didn't expect WarGreymon X to think so much. He only understood the most superficial meaning: one of them had to survive to protect the safety of the survivors!

"MetalGarurumon, your ranged firepower can cover more people, those children... I'm counting on you!" WarGreymon X, having destroyed a DeathDoraemon, used the opening to look at MetalGarurumon from afar.

Garurumon X, this... is probably the last time he will see his old friend!

"I understand... You have to survive!" Looking into WarGreymon X's resolute eyes, MetalGarurumon X finally agreed with difficulty. Even knowing it was impossible, he still wanted to say it: WarGreymon...

Survive!

"Don't worry, I won't die so easily. I still want to attack the World Tree. I... I still have a backup plan!" WarGreymon X laughed heartily, then gestured for MetalGarurumon X to leave quickly.

Upon hearing this, MetalGarurumon X took one last deep look at WarGreymon X, as if trying to remember his departing figure!

-What an idiot! We've known each other for so many years, do you think I wouldn't know what tricks you have up your sleeve?

".

.. "

MetalGarurumon X departed, his back view so resolute, as if carrying the will of his companions!

"Should we make a move...?" V-mon's eyes were bright, his little blue face was full of seriousness, and the "Miracle Armor" inside him was restless, as if it would disintegrate and recombine into the armor he was wearing at any moment.

"Veemon, hurry! MetalGarurumon has given the order...we must leave this base!" BlackMenton's voice was filled with reluctance, but it remained resolute. Even though this place was just a "refuge,"...

But it held many of her memories, yet even so, when faced with the choice between survival and material possessions, she chose survival.

No matter how good this place is, once it is discovered and loses its function as a "refuge," it will eventually be abandoned. Those who do not want to leave will only face death. She is not a pedantic person and naturally knows how to choose.

So now she wants to grab V-mon, take a few baby monsters with her, and make the most of the time WarGreymon X has gained to leave this place and head to the next base.

After all, this seemingly sturdy underground shelter was nothing compared to the data-devouring capabilities of the DeathDoruGreymon.

"Black-eared Beast..."

However, the power that used to easily knock down V-mon failed to move V-mon at this moment.
