Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

"Don't say you're borrowing it, why not give it to you?"

All three responded in unison.

With a calm expression, Alice was the first to call out to her companions: "Salubimon!"

Upon hearing the call, Salammon, which had been jumping around on the back of Orochimon, drawing away some of its attention, nimbly leaped backward, dodging Orochimon's sweeping attack and creating a safe distance.

"Have you decided?" Salamence asked.

It was obvious that he was fully aware of the animal trainers' discussion, as if he had been there himself.

This is understandable, since the Arc Machine itself is the device that connects the Tamer and the Digimon. In addition to swiping cards and evolving, the Tamer can also use the Arc Machine to connect with the Digimon's perspective, and vice versa.

"Giuramon".

"Priest Beast".

Matsuda Keito and Makino Ruki each called out to their respective companions.

"I see."

"it is good."

Understanding their tamer's thoughts, and in order to respond to the will of Li Jianliang and the Swift Beast, they must also be prepared to fight with all their might.

The four people hiding in the alley watched intently as the four Digimon confronted the Great Serpent Beast, with Li Jianliang looking the most nervous.

“We need to find an opportunity,” Alice said, “an opportunity to complete the power fusion without the interference of the giant serpent beast.”

Unlike some idiotic plots where the four intelligent individuals merge right in front of the enemy, this one didn't simply follow the flow of the story.

Putting aside the fact that their already low fusion rate might be instantly wiped out if Orochimon interrupted their fusion, the fact that Orochimon is an enemy means they can't possibly gamble their hopes on the enemy's mercy.

"Shall we leave here first?" Makino Ruki suggested. If they could get away from the giant serpent beast and then attempt the fusion, they would arrive immediately if successful, and if they failed, well, that goes without saying.

"Hmph~" A strange, arrogant laugh rang out, and a black-clad demon beast floated down from above the alley. "I heard your plan. Do you need help? Just ask me, and I'll help you."

"LadyDevimon!" ×4

The four looked at LadyBeast with surprise and delight. Her appearance was just in time. Although she spoke arrogantly, everyone present knew that she was all talk and no action.

"Please..." Just as Matsuda Keito was about to ask for help, Makino Ruki pulled him back, and he immediately swallowed his words.

Meeting Matsuda Hiroto's questioning gaze, Makino Ruki stepped to the front of the group.

“Come on, Ruki.” LadyBeast’s voice was tinged with obvious pleasure as she bent down slightly and placed her palm to her ear. “I’m listening.”

"Yes, that's right." Makino Ruki smiled, but it was a little strange.

"Ah~~ Who moved into my house? And who's been eating and drinking for free here? Not only that, it seems they haven't paid rent either?"

Makino Ruki spoke in a sarcastic tone, while the Demon Beast's body grew increasingly stiff.

Who exactly is it?

"Aaaaaah!!! I know, I know!" LadyDevimon cried out in a frenzy. "Fine, I'll help! I'll help!"

After saying that, without waiting for Makino Ruki's reply, she darted out of the alley. Judging from her disheveled figure, the giant serpent beast was probably not as terrifying to her as Makino Ruki.

"Hahaha... It seems that Ruki and LadyDevimon get along very well." Matsuda Takato chuckled dryly, he hadn't expected the aloof Ruki to have this side to her.

"Hmph." Makino Ruki snorted softly, seemingly protesting something, but her ears were slightly red, which was rather intriguing.

"Let's begin now," Alice said calmly, and the slightly relaxed atmosphere became heavy again. They hadn't forgotten why LadyDevimon had gone out, nor had they forgotten their choices.

The three of them looked at Li Jianliang simultaneously.

At this point, Li Jianliang regained his usual composure, at least on the surface.

He looked at his companion, then at the Swift Beast, and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Let's begin!"

"Damn it, how is this guy so strong?" LadyDevimon dodged to the side, barely avoiding Orochimon's attack. Right now, she was just taking advantage of Orochimon's inability to fly, and then using her own agility in flight to harass it.

As for competing in terms of damage output with Orochimon, or even taking a hit from it, the thought never even crossed her mind, because Orochimon was far too strong. LadyDevimon had no doubt that if she were to take a hit of that level, the probability of her dying on the spot would be extremely high.

Meanwhile, some changes occurred in the sky, with a strange green data spreading, seemingly possessing the ability to eliminate Digimon.

But it was extinguished instantly by a jet of water from the giant serpent beast, as if it had appeared out of nowhere...

"...A ridiculous clown." LadyDevimon cursed. Wasn't this a trap? She was painstakingly buying herself some time, and out of nowhere, a ridiculous clown appeared, like someone showing off a newly acquired toy, eager to demonstrate its effects.

In the end, a toy is just a toy; it serves no purpose other than to make people laugh.

"Damn it!" A man wearing sunglasses slammed his hand on the table, suppressing his anger as he listened to his staff report the failure of the 'annihilation plan'.

brush!

The Great Serpent Beast's tail, like a whip, sliced ​​through the air with a sonic boom, heading straight for LadyDevimon.

"Is he really still at his Perfect form?" LadyDevimon complained as she barely dodged another attack. "You guys need to hurry, or I might not be able to hold on..."

"Let's begin." Two streets away from Orochimon, four Digimon and four people stood here.

Without hesitation, once the decision was made, their actions became decisive.

Crimson, gold, and black light shone on the bodies of the three Ultimate-level Digimon. Then, this dazzling light, carrying all their power, detached from their bodies, and the moment the light left, they fell back to their Rookie level.

"Are you alright, Guilmon?" Seeing this, Matsuda Takato quickly went forward to help his partner.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little sleepy. I'm going to eat a lot of Guilmon bread later," Guilmon replied drowsily.

“Ah, we’ll make it and eat it once things have calmed down,” Matsuda Hiroto said.

He then looked at Cyclomon together with Guilmon, while the other two also ended their conversations with their partners at the same time and looked at Cyclomon.

They knew the crisis with the giant snake beast wasn't over; their battle was simply over. Now, it was up to Li Jianliang and the Swift Beast.

“Swift Beast…” Li Jianliang couldn’t help but ask with concern.

"Don't wait~" Swift Beast responded to Li Jianliang as always, then looked up at the three balls of light floating in the sky. That was the full power of his companions, and the hope to defeat Orochi Beast. He had to survive, merge with and control this power, defeat Orochi Beast, and then go home with Li Jianliang!

"bring it on!"

The Swift Beast shouted, drawing in three orbs of light.

"Uh... Ahhhhh..."

Once inside, the Swift Beast felt a contradictory pain. It was as if it had eaten too much and was about to explode, or as if it was carrying a heavy boulder that was about to crush it. In short, it was pain.

"Swift Beast!"

Seeing the suffering Swift Beast, Li Jianliang could no longer hold back. Now he just wanted to get closer to Swift Beast. Even if he couldn't share Swift Beast's pain, he at least wanted to be near his partner.

"establish……"

Though his eyes were blurred with pain, the Swift Beast still recognized the figure approaching him. With immense willpower, he forcefully forced the energy that had spilled out of his body back into his own.

"Big-eared Beast." Li Jianliang's eyes were filled with tears, but his tone was exceptionally firm as he said, "I will never let you face this pain alone again. Let's face it together!"

In response to this will, the arc light machine that Li Jianliang had been holding in his hand began to emit a faint halo.

"establish……"

Perhaps out of fear of harming Li Jianliang, or perhaps due to Li Jianliang's mental strength, the raging energy within the Swift Beast was suppressed. At this moment, the Swift Beast carefully lifted Li Jianliang and placed him on its shoulders.

"Then let's fight together!"

"As long as we're together..."

“No matter what we face, we will not be afraid!” Li Jianliang said.

"We will surpass the past, surpass fate, at this moment!" ×2

As the two shouted and their hearts synchronized, the faint halo on the arc light machine began to burst into brilliant golden light. This was not the radiance of a miracle, but the brilliance of destiny.

In an instant, the green armor that Speedmon had been wearing was covered by a dazzling golden light. Although its posture did not change much, its energy level suddenly rose to a level that even Ultimate-level Digimon could not reach, that is, the energy level of a Mega-level Digimon.

It's still a Swift Beast.

However, by combining the power of the three Ultimate-level Digimon to create the 'Digital Spirit of Destiny', Swiftmon successfully transformed from a Modified Digimon into a Paladin-type Armor Digimon.

He can now be called—Golden Speed ​​Beast!

"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~"

Makino Ruki took out the Arc Light Machine, wanting to check the information on the Golden Speed ​​Beast. However, no data was displayed; instead, it kept showing a "searching" status.

"Success."

Matsuda Hiroto, who had been watching anxiously, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“So next…” Alice began.

boom!!!

As if in response to Alice's words, a loud explosion came from where the giant snake beast was.

Moreover, for the first time, the gaze that had always looked down upon everything from a high position became serious and turned towards the direction where the Golden Swift Beast was located.

"Let's go." Standing on the shoulder of the Golden Swift Beast, Li Jianliang suppressed his excitement and regained his usual composure. As if feeling the tangible gaze of the Great Serpent Beast, he knew that it was time to face the culprit who had forced them to fight to the death.

“Alright, let’s go together, Jian!” said the Golden Speed ​​Beast. He was very confident now, not only because of his strength, but also because of his confidence in fighting alongside his partner.

Even if this weren't the material reality, and Li Jianliang weren't digitized, given their bond and this experience, he could probably evolve into a true ultimate form immediately.

吡!

Like a blade slicing through the air, the Golden Swift Beast vanished in a flash, reappearing before the Great Serpent Beast, facing its sixteen fierce gazes.

"Damn it, it's finally here. I'll never do it again next time..." Lady Beast, clutching her back, emerged from a crater and limped away from what would become a brutal battlefield.

The Golden Speedmon and the Great Serpentmon faced off on the ruined street. Several hours had passed since the Great Serpentmon appeared.

However, in this short period of time, one district of the city has been completely destroyed. Reconstruction will take an unknown amount of time.

Of course, all of this is based on one premise: that Orochimon will be defeated in this battle!

So, does the Golden Speedmon have this ability?

Boom!

The giant snake-beast's fierce eyes lit up, and its body shrank, launching itself towards the golden swift beast like a spring, at a speed several times faster than when the giant snake-beast had previously dealt with them.

Clearly, it was only at this moment that the giant snake beast truly went all out.

As the ultimate-level Orochimon created by Huangfu Future, it is well aware of its purpose: to serve as a whetstone, giving the four tamers a suitable experience.

So what constitutes a suitable experience?

Of course, only when you have equal strength can it be called training.

And so, the giant serpent beast waited.

It understood LadyDevimon's purpose and sensed the changes in energy among the original four Ultimate forms: three were weakening, and one was going berserk.

But it doesn't care. Only when someone appears who can truly fight it will its role as a whetstone be realized, will it begin its real training, and will it truly go all out!

"Roar!"

The giant serpent beast unleashed its ferocity without reservation. Its eight heads did not use any special skills, but simply displayed their wild instincts, tearing at their enemies with their sharp teeth.

Of course, at this speed, it's impossible for it to bite the Golden Speed ​​Beast.

In a few flashes, the Golden Swift Beast disappeared, quickly breaking free from the encirclement of heads.

During his Cyclone form, he was already known as the 'Clever Hound', and as the upgraded Golden Cyclone, his speed only increased further.

But simply taking a beating isn't in the nature of the Golden Speedmon, so it began to fight back.

Rapid Firepower

The equipment on their hands and back continuously launched tracking missiles. Both the power of the missiles and the frequency of launch far surpassed that of the past.

In response, Orochimon decided to counterattack in the same way it had dealt with Hayatemon. However, instead of using IronChickenmon's power, it would use its own power—the core power of Orochimon: [Alcohol].

The eight heads of the giant serpent beast simultaneously opened their blood-red maws, and the next moment, jets of water, smelling both fishy and alcoholic, shot out.

As the eight heads rotated, jets of water gushed forth, detonating missiles in mid-air in a sweeping motion.

If detonating the missiles of the Speedmon before was to demonstrate the power of the other Imperial Demons, then detonating the missiles of the Golden Speedmon now is simply to avoid being hit.

"We have to hurry." Hearing the sirens echoing in his ears, Li Jianliang knew that he had to end the battle with the giant serpent beast as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the army assembled and a third party joined in, the outcome of this battle would become even more unpredictable.

Upon hearing Li Jianliang's words, the Golden Swift Beast suddenly took to the air, assuming a fighting stance to look down upon the Great Serpent Beast. It decided to settle the matter with a single blow to the Great Serpent Beast.

Raise your golden arms high, straighten your legs together, and bring the huge ear-shaped radars on both sides back.

Then, golden lines extend from the arms and connect with the legs together, forming an inverted triangular energy crystal.
