Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

But they all had one thing in common: they were all dead.

Instead of being absorbed and dying from the disintegration of the body, it was as if the heart had been ripped out, the digital core was directly stripped away, and the body was killed and preserved using a special method.

"That's outrageous." Kato Juri looked at the brutal scene with some discomfort.

"What terrifying power." Dobermon's attention was immediately drawn to the wounds on the bodies of these dead Digimon. Whether they were Champion or Ultimate level, these Digimon were basically killed with a single blow, which showed that the attacker possessed terrifying strength.

Judging others by one's own standards, even if a Dobermon evolves to its Ultimate form and wants to kill a bunch of Champion-level Digimon, that's naturally easy. But if it's about accurately pinpointing the opponent's Digicore and killing them with a single blow, then the difficulty is quite different.

Moreover, there are also Perfect-level Digimon.

Without a full-on battle, Doberman would have no chance of defeating his opponent at this level.

However, the crime scene was such a simple case of killing the perpetrator.

"Be careful, Alice, the enemy is not simple," the Doberman warned its tamer.

“Needle-haired Beasts, you need to be prepared. The Giant Hard Needle-haired Beast may already be…” Matsuda Takato said to the Scarred Needle-haired Beast. Given the horrific crime scene, he didn’t believe the Giant Hard Needle-haired Beast had the ability to survive.

"No!" Scarface Needlebeast disagreed. He had been prepared for the worst after hearing that Giant Needlebeast was missing, but upon arriving at the scene, he discovered that his leader was likely still alive.

"The marks and methods of attack on those Digimon are very similar to my boss's habits." Although it was a little embarrassing to say, Scarfacemon still pointed out some problems with the Digimon corpses.

“This…” Matsuda Keito hesitated.

“It’s true, Takato.” Groudon spoke up then, “The wounds on these Digimon look very similar to the scars that Grimmnemon left on my chest.”

Groudon, with its exceptional combat insight, noticed that the marks on these wounds resembled those inflicted by Grimmsnarl when it attacked Groudon with brass knuckles. Therefore, it affirmed ScarGrimmsnarl's statement.

"How could this be..." Hearing even his companion confirm that it looked like the work of a giant hard-haired beast, he was momentarily unable to accept that the friend he knew was such a person.

However, Matsuda Keito quickly calmed down. He realized that if it was the work of the Giant Hard-haired Beast, then the beast was definitely not the one he knew; something must have gone wrong.

“Let’s go in and take a look,” Matsuda Takato said calmly. “If this was done by Mighty Gearmon, then something has definitely happened to him, and we can’t leave it alone; but if it wasn’t Mighty Gearmon, then we can’t let the Digimon that caused this killing go unpunished.”

With that, Matsuda Hiroto took the lead and walked forward, with Groudon following closely behind.

"What's with this guy trying to look cool?" Makino Ruki muttered, but followed along, with Rei-Nekmon and Witch-Nekmon keeping close behind.

“That’s true, we can’t just leave them like this.” Li Jianliang’s solemn expression eased a bit. The fact that so many Digimon corpses could be preserved here must mean they had some special purpose, and he couldn’t trust his companion to go on his own.

"Big-eared Beast, I might have to ask you for help later," Li Jianliang said to his partner on his shoulder, a bad feeling creeping over him.

"Don't be slow~ Leave it to me." The big-eared beast patted its not-so-broad chest with its long ears.

Seeing Matsuda Hiroto move forward, the others suppressed their fear and followed, even though they were afraid. After all, staying behind alone would be even more terrifying and dangerous.

Click~click~click~

As Matsuda Takato moved forward, the number of Digimon corpses in the purple ruins increased, and at the same time, he heard sounds like biting cookies, which became clearer and clearer.

"Takato, there's a Digimon, and it's very strong!" Groudon stepped forward, shielding Matsuda Takato behind it, and automatically entered battle mode, warily watching the dark figure shrouded in purple mist.

"Who...is that?" Matsuda Keito looked at the dark figure in front of him with slight shock. The figure felt so familiar.

It's as if I know him...

Matsuda Hiroto's pupils contracted as a possibility suddenly occurred to him. He suppressed his panic, looked at the dark figure in the distance, and shouted, "—Giant Hard Needle-haired Beast!"

Click!

Suddenly, the dark figure stopped eating, as if its attention had been drawn by the name, or as if its meal had been interrupted.

He suddenly turned his head.

His scarlet eyes pierced through the purple mist, staring straight at Matsuda Hiroto.

The next moment, a chill rose from the bottom of Matsuda Keito's heart.

Accompanying this was Groudon's... or rather, Groudon's roar as it suddenly evolved into Mega Groudon: "Don't you dare hurt Takato!!!"

The semi-mechanical body took a step forward with its head held high and chest out, bending its body and crossing its arms, ready to absorb force and block the attack.

Bang!!!

A loud crash suddenly rang out, echoing in everyone's ears, and the spray easily swept away those who were unprepared behind.

Faced with this powerful attack, Groudon took a step back, and a small but noticeable nick appeared on its parrying Vibration Blade.

"You are... Grimm's Grimm." The shocked voice of Grimm could be heard.

"Is it really him?" Matsuda Takato stared in shock at the figure blocking the way from the Great Guramon, the same Great Hardened Spearmon that had previously been on friendly terms with them.

However, the giant hard-haired beast at this moment had an appearance that made it obvious to anyone who looked at it that something was wrong.

Enveloped in purple mist, its size swelled, and its scarlet eyes flashed with the ferocity of a wild beast, yet devoid of any glimmer of reason.

"Something's not right with him." Needless to say, this was something everyone could tell at first glance.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Suddenly, Guramon roared, trying to deflect the punch from Guramon, but the terrifying force instead caused Guramon to kneel down on one knee, unable to bear the weight.

"Help Groudon!"

When Makino Ruki and the others saw this, their pupils contracted sharply, and they instantly realized that the strange giant hard-haired beast in front of them could not be dealt with by one person alone.

Terriermon, Evolve into Swiftmon!

'Renamon, leap to evolve into Priestmon!'

Witchmon, evolve into LadyDevimon!

'Leomon, evolve into FightingLeomon!'

'Dobermannmon. Evolve into Salubimon!'

The five fully evolved forms attacked simultaneously to rescue Groudon and force back Grimermon.

Chapter 74 The Golden Swift Beast Reappears!

"So powerful..." Guramon looked at his arms with lingering fear; the gaps in the vibrating blades mounted on his arms had widened.

Just moments before, the sudden downward force of the giant hard-haired beast almost overwhelmed him.

It's important to know that Guramon is the strongest Digimon among the six, and there are very few Digimon that can rival him in strength.

But right now, just in terms of sheer strength, Groudon was almost overwhelmed.

He had only ever felt this overwhelming sense of powerlessness with the giant serpent beast.

"Another monster-level beast like the Great Serpent Beast?" said Groudon.

“If that’s the case…” Matsuda Keito said with a solemn expression, but his gaze involuntarily turned to Li Jianliang.

The other two, who shared the same thought as Matsuda Keito, also looked at Li Jianliang, clearly indicating that they wanted him to make the decision.

"Let's wait a bit longer," Li Jianliang said, looking at the Giant Hardened Gearbeast. "Let's test its current strength first before deciding whether to use that power."

Having struggled to unite their strength into one, it has become much easier for them to reunite that strength now.

Even though the Swift Beast, who once possessed this power, has now lost it, it still retains the foundation it once had. If the conditions for its initial gathering are met, the lost power will reappear in the world.

Of course, this would also temporarily deprive others of their power.

Therefore, the best time to demonstrate that power is basically only at the crucial moment when the outcome is decided.

For now, let's rely on our numerical advantage to test the strength of the Giant Hard Gear Beast.

Li Jianliang made this judgment, so he decisively shouted to his partner, "Go, Speed ​​Beast!"

Upon hearing this, the Swiftmon reacted immediately, disappearing and reappearing in a few flashes, and launched a series of missiles, heading straight for the Grimmnemon standing not far away.

"Cooperate with him!" Makino Ruki shouted.

Priestmon and LadyDevimon attacked simultaneously, with black bats and mysterious talismans working in different directions in conjunction with Swiftmon's missiles to block out Grimm's hiding space.

“Fighting Leomon!” Kato Juri shouted.

boom!

FightingLeomon took a sudden step forward, and the ground cracked open. The flying FightingLeomon assumed a fighting stance in mid-air, its limbs spinning rapidly, granting it immense power and explosive force.

“Salubimon,” Alice said calmly.

A dark shadowy figure darted out instantly, catching up with Fighting Leomon ahead of others. During this process, the shadowy figure, which had been running on all fours, suddenly transformed into a human figure with more stable and explosive power, standing on two feet.

—Salubimon - Werewolf Mode!

"Granellamon!" Matsuda Takato stared intently at Maximalmon, his mind resolute: I will save you, I will.

Sensing Matsuda's intentions, the Great Guramon roared, its thrusters extending and opening, unleashing a burst of intense firepower.

With an overwhelming force, Guramon charged straight at Mighty Gearmon, its crossed arms revealing damaged vibrating blades. However, this did not diminish its aura; instead, it made it even more formidable.

"roar

The giant hard-haired beast roared, facing the combined attack of six fully evolved beasts without any fear, or rather, it had lost all biological instinct for fear.

Its scarlet eyes shone brightly, and the needles all over its body suddenly protruded, flashing a blood-red color, before shooting out like a machine gun.

One: Vermilion Vortex!

Boom—Boom—Boom-

—A series of explosions continued to rang out. Whether it was the missiles from Swiftmon, the talismans from Priestmon, or the bats from LadyDevimon, they were all pierced and detonated by this dense barrage.

And this all-around barrage of fire hadn't stopped; it continued to assault the group.

The rocks that were pierced along the way made a hissing sound and emitted a corroded purple mist, which eventually became the source of their entry into this once intact but now indescribable purple ruin.

"Watch out for his thorns!" Alice exclaimed in alarm upon seeing this.

"【Hellfire】!" Hearing its partner's reminder and seeing the danger before it, Salubimon unhesitatingly enveloped its entire body in emerald green Hellfire, and while dodging the needles, it also continuously spewed flames to block the attack.

On the other hand, although FightingLeomon doesn't have convenient skills like Salubimon to block attacks, it also has its own methods.

The high-speed rotating turbine exerted further force, generating strong wind energy through friction. Then, combined with the martial arts used by Fighting Leomon with its strong body, simple punches, palm strikes, kicks, and chops were used to unleash wide-range damage from its skills.

Salubimon and FightingLeomon head-on confronted the attack of Grimm's Needlemon, and they consciously cleared obstacles for Groudon.

When they were within a meter of the giant hard-haired beast, the two simultaneously unleashed their accumulated power and attacked the enemy together.

"【Inferno Divide】"

"【Shishi Juu hazan (Lion Beast Wave Slash)】"

The attacks from the left and right were aimed directly at its face. The Giant Hard Needle Beast reacted instantly, stopping its barrage of needles and raising its hands to catch the punches from the Inferno and the Storm.

But before he could retaliate, the attack from the giant Guramon went straight for the wide-open center of the giant hard-haired beast.

-【Double Edge】

boom!

The gleaming silver blade cut through metal without causing any damage.

But Guramon achieved its goal.

The impact of its size and acceleration sent the Great Hardened Gearmon flying. It also loosened its seemingly welded arms slightly, giving Salubmon and FightingLeomon an opportunity.

At the same time, they were pulled to both sides, forcibly extending their outstretched arms.

Then, Guramon extended its metallic hands, ignoring the barbs on the shoulders of Meganeadmon, and gripped it tightly. Then—

"【Atomic Blaster】!"

The release of atomic-level energy shockwaves over the ultimate distance.

boom!

The giant hard-haired beast was blasted away by the enormous force and then exploded.

Intense sparks flew, and a small mushroom cloud rose into the air.

However, what was even more terrifying was the roar that accompanied the mushroom cloud, and the faintly visible dark shadow.

"There's no other way." Li Jianliang watched this scene, sighed helplessly, then his gaze suddenly hardened: "Friends, lend me your strength!"

"Good!" ×6

Matsuda Takato, Alice, and Makino Ruki each aimed their Arc Machines at their partners, and then the light ricochets from the Digimon into the Arc Machines. Next, they aimed their Arc Machines at Li Jianliang, and the light was transferred to Li Jianliang's Arc Machines again.

Finally, a strange rune appeared on Li Jianliang's green arc light machine screen. As Li Jianliang pointed it at the Swift Beast, the rune, along with the power, merged into the Swift Beast's body.
