Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

With the help of the Great Hard Bristlemon, they use its power to find the Ancientmon and stay in this hedgehog's den.

It was fine for a short time, but if it went on for a long time, Matsuda Keito and his group would feel uncomfortable, so they all wanted to leave and split up to search for the Ancient Beast.

However, it was rejected by the giant hard-haired beast.

He simply asked, "The Digital World is so big, if we find Guremon, how will we find you and tell you?"

One sentence silenced Matsuda Hiroto.

However, there is a solution.

Matsuda Keito and his group, who were willing to go out at worst, went through some trouble, searching one place only to return here.

However, this method is extremely inefficient and requires a lot of effort to travel back and forth.

It was only then that the Great Hard Needle-haired Beast revealed its wolfish ambitions; after recovering from its injuries, it couldn't wait to fight again.

This time, however, the target is not only Guilmon, but also other Digimon partnered with other tamers.

It seems he wants to challenge every fully-formed member of the team.

So

Since he felt obligated to accept gifts and favors, Matsuda Hiroto couldn't refuse and had to consult with his companions first.

In the end, the trainers all agreed to the giant hard-haired beast's proposal.

One reason is that the help received was truly substantial, and it was difficult to refuse.

Another reason is that there are actually three girls who want to fight the Giant Hard Needle Beast.

That's right, it's all girls who want to fight the Giant Hard Bristle.

Ruki Makino's motivation is purely to fight Digimon. She once went to great lengths to find Digimon and fight them in order to evolve Renamon, just to load their data. While she can't load data for Majinamon now, fighting it twice to understand its strength is still a good option.

Alice simply wanted to test the strength of Grimm's Grimm. Although she had watched the entire battle between Grimm and Groudon, watching from the sidelines was never as good as experiencing it firsthand.

Kato Juri's goal was simple: she wanted to become a Beast Tamer capable of fighting alongside Leomon. This couldn't be achieved through mere words; it required real-world experience. Having finally found a battle that wasn't a life-or-death struggle, Kato Juri naturally seized the opportunity.

In the end, Li Jianliang had no choice but to agree, as he couldn't fight city hall.

In the end, the overjoyed Grimm had experienced the joy of battling four Ultimate-level monsters.

Mighty Gearmon vs. Swiftmon, wins!

Even though the SwiftBeast's missiles were fast and powerful, they were useless if they couldn't hit anyone. The Grimmsnarl detonated the missiles with its spears, then closed in on the SwiftBeast for close combat. In the end, the SwiftBeast, which was not good at close-range fighting, was defeated.

Mighty Gearmon vs. Priestmon, wins!

While Priestmon was quite powerful, as a mage, she, like Swiftmon, preferred ranged attacks. Even with the lesson learned from Swiftmon, she was still defeated in close combat by Grimm's Grimm. In fact, before being defeated, Makino Ruki had the opportunity to use powerful program cards to turn the tide, but it wasn't worth expending so much energy for a mere sparring match, so she ultimately chose to give up.

Mighty Gearmon vs. LadyDevimon, wins!

Having learned from the previous two matches, LadyDevimon confidently entered the arena, and then… that was it. She lost even faster than the previous two, because her attacks couldn't even break through Maximon's fur defense. The end result was that she left cursing and swearing.

Mighty Spinemon vs. Fighting Leomon, wins!

Although Kato Juri tried her best to use cards to support FightingLeomon, the gap in raw strength was simply too great. Having only recently evolved, FightingLeomon lacked sufficient foundation. Even though it excelled in close combat and wasn't afraid of Maxi-Hard-Beardmon's close-range attacks, it still wasn't strong enough to defeat its opponent and ultimately suffered a regrettable defeat.

Mighty Gearmon vs. Salamencemon, lost!

The final act featured Alice and Salubimon, who fought against Grimmsnarl, showing no fear of its close-range or ranged attacks. Even so, Grimmsnarl only managed to defeat Salubimon after forcing it to unleash its 'Werewolf Mode'. This demonstrates just how strong Grimmsnarl is; such a tough and resilient Digimon is truly difficult to defeat without a certain level of skill.

These five battles took ten days to completely end.

As the protagonist at the center of the battle, the Great Hard Needlemon was having a really fun time.

He frankly admitted that he hadn't had such a satisfying fight in a long time. Five opponents, all of them at their ultimate level, and battles with wins and losses on both sides—these five battles had temporarily exhausted the fighting spirit of the Giant Gearbeast.

Of course, Grimmma also said that his biggest target for battle is still Groudon, but he feels that he is not yet able to defeat it, so he can only suppress this idea for the time being. He will fight Groudon again when he has completed his training, or before Matsuda Takato and his group leave.

Guilmon agreed to this challenge, this second battle.

However, the second battle came sooner than they expected, but the scene was no longer a friendly sparring match.

One day, the Grimmian received a message that a Grimmian in a certain place had gone missing, so without thinking, he went there alone.

In the eyes of Grimm, there may be many dangerous places in the Digital World, and many people who can defeat him, but in this area, he stands at the top of the Ultimate level and is undoubtedly the first-tier combat power. There are basically very few people who can pose a threat to him.

So he simply gave Scarface and Needle-haired Beast a few instructions and then left.

He did not say goodbye to Matsuda Hiroto and the others, because the giant hard-haired beast believed that he would soon finish dealing with the matter and return.

then……

He crashed.

..

"Who are you?!!"

The Giant Hard Needle-haired Beast stood on some ruins, howling pitifully at the group of Ultimate-level beings.

Yes, his enemies are a group of Ultimate beings.

These ultimate forms all have the same appearance and the same weak strength.

This is the first time that the Grimmma has encountered such a weak and bizarre Ultimate form.

The weakness lies in the fact that he defeated these Ultimate beings one by one; the strangeness lies in the fact that these Ultimate beings seem to have no limit, with an endless number.

When it was on the verge of its limit, the Great Hard Geared Beast finally figured it out.

It wasn't that there were so many Ultimate beings that they exhausted him, but rather that this Ultimate being was so bizarre that it used its split forms to overwhelm him.

This is the most reasonable explanation he believes. This ultimate form's attack method is to split itself into numerous smaller units, exhausting the enemy until it dies.

Unfortunately, his explanation still contained some errors.

"My name is Parasyte." The Digimon, with a purplish body, eight legs, a large mouth under its belly, and resembling a spider, spoke.

He chuckled and said, "What a perfect tool that's delivered right to my doorstep. I won't load your data right away. Become my parasite obediently, and I'll develop your body to its fullest potential, unleashing power you don't possess."

"Jiejiejie~~~"

Chapter 73 The Giant Hard-haired Beast on the Ruins (Two-in-One)

Several days have passed, and including the five battles with the Giant Hard-haired Beast, Matsuda Takato and his group have been in their village for nearly twenty days.

Ten days of that time were for fighting the Great Hardened Bristlebearer and for recuperation.

"This is probably the first time we've stayed in one place for so long," Matsuda Hiroto remarked.

“Yes, although I would also like to see other sights in the Digital World, if we can find Guromon as soon as possible, it wouldn’t hurt to stay a little longer,” Li Jianliang said.

"I heard from Hedgehogmon that the flag you drew, Takato, was pulled down," Alice said calmly. "It might have been done by another Digimon, but it's also possible that Gullmon saw it and pulled it down."

"Now the hedgehogs will follow this clue to search."

"I actually hope it was Gulemon who did it, that way Hedgehogmon might be able to find it very quickly," Matsuda Hiroto said with a smile.

"Stop chatting and come help over here." Suddenly, Makino Ruki's voice came from not far away.

The others responded in turn.

During the time that the Giant Needle-haired Beast was away, they didn't just eat and drink for free. Instead, they approached Scarface Needle-haired Beast, the second-in-command of the village, to ask him to do something they could.

After all, having the local power brokers in the Digital World region as backers is a huge help to them.

The Ancient Music Beast, which they had been searching for so long without any leads, was found by the Hedgehog Beasts after only a short time. If they followed this lead, they might be able to find the Ancient Music Beast, just like the Hedgehog Beasts brought back Makino Ruki and the others.

Therefore, they are the ones who truly benefit.

As for any bets, helping you is a favor, not helping is my right.

The naive children didn't consider that relying on Guramon to defeat Guramon would make it perfectly natural for them to order Guramon and Hedgehogmon around.

Scarface the Needle-haired Beast readily assigned simple tasks to the trainers.

The agreement set by the Great Hard Gearflies is that they must carry out the orders, even if those orders are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and not beneficial to their own people.

Of course, besides these reasons, the most important one is that Scarface Beast thinks this time-consuming and laborious work is worthwhile.

Because he felt that befriending the animal trainers was very important.

Upon closer examination, the tamers now have six Digimon that can evolve to their Ultimate form, which is equivalent to having the deterrent power of six Ultimate-level Digimon.

Even though four of them had been defeated by the leader, the Giant Needle-haired Beast, the remaining two turned the tables and defeated the leader.

This is just considering one at a time. If it really comes down to a life-or-death battle, he doesn't think the other Perfected Ones can just stand by and watch. When all six Perfected Ones come at him side by side, apart from Ultimate Ones, he really can't think of anyone who can face them alone.

Therefore, the prestige of a fully evolved being is valuable, and the prestige of six fully evolved beings forming a team is even more valuable.

In short, it's good if they're not enemies.

Scarred Needlebow offered a favor and arranged some simple jobs that wouldn't be boring, so the trainers would accept them without feeling that staying in the village was idle.

Li Jianliang and Alice, who could sense Scarface's good intentions, wouldn't refuse without a reason.

Just when they thought today would be another day like any other, and they could go home after work, a Needlemon approached Matsuda Takato and Guilmon, asking them to go see Scar Needlemon.

"What happened?" Seeing that the needle-haired beast leading the way seemed a little anxious, Matsuda Hiroto couldn't help but ask.

"Chief, something's happened..." The Needle-haired Beast's lips twitched, and it finally told Matsuda Hiroto the whole story. Although the Scarred Needle-haired Beast didn't say it directly, sending the Needle-haired Beast to find the Beastmaster was itself a way of seeking help.

So the needle-haired beast explained its own situation.

In short, a group of Giraffes that went out went missing, which attracted the attention of the Giant Giraffes who went to investigate. As a result, now even their leader has disappeared.

This immediately startled even the usually composed Scarface Beast.

However, he remained calm and did not hastily gather the Needle-haired Beasts to set off. He knew that the threat that could cause their leader to lose contact or even die was something that these mature beasts could not handle.

So he thought of the six fully evolved animals that stayed in his territory; if he could get their help...

"I understand." After listening to the Needle-haired Beast's explanation and request, Matsuda Hiroto nodded, then looked at his companions, wanting to ask for their opinions.

The companions understood the cause and effect of the matter, and seeing the look that Matsuda Hiroto was giving them, they all nodded in response. After all, not to mention that the giant hard-haired beast had given them real help, they also recognized its bold character.

Both logically and emotionally, they wanted to investigate.

Then, Matsuda Hiroto looked at Scarface Beast again, his eyes resolute, and said, "We will go with you. If Giant Hardened Beast is still alive, we will definitely rescue him!"

"Yes, thank you so much!" Scarface Needle-haired Beast expressed his heartfelt gratitude; all his hard work these past few days had paid off.

"No, we should thank you for helping us find the Ancient Music Beast during this time," Li Jianliang said.

Without further ado, after making preparations, Scarface the Needle-haired Beast led a group of Needle-haired Beasts and set off with the tamers.

only…….

"Slow down, slow down—!" A familiar scream echoed.

Because humans could not keep up with the speed of the Giraffes' march, the Giraffes let humans grab their golden fur, intending to carry them forward.

Besides the Doberman Beast, which is naturally suited for running, which his trainers Alice and Li Jianliang could ride, there was also a Flying Witch Beast that carried Makino Ruki and Matsuda Takato.

Kato Juri was carried by the burly Leomon. Even though she couldn't keep up with the speed of the Needlemons, she wouldn't be left far behind.

Renamon is inherently agile and quick, and can easily keep up with the Gyaradosmon.

As for Guilmon, it is not as fast as Gyaradosmon, and it cannot outrun Leomon in long-distance running. Due to its size, it is inconvenient for Gyaradosmon to carry it.

Therefore, Matsuda Takato directly evolved it into Groudon, using Groudon's stamina to run there.

So the question is, who are the humans who should be brought along?

Those were naturally the two clowns without their partner Digimon. They refused to stay in the village to wait for the results and insisted on going to the scene.

Despite being harshly criticized by Makino Ruki as a burden, they still did not give up.

So, not wanting to abandon them, I had to bring them along, which led to the classic remake of my past experience.

The group traveled for half an hour at the speed of the needle-haired beasts before finally approaching their destination.

"here it is…"

The crowd stared in shock at the red sand they had arrived at.

The area that should have remained red was now a purple ruin in front of them.

In the ruins, different kinds of Digimon lay scattered everywhere, some at the Champion level and some at the Ultimate level.
