Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

Upon hearing this, Matsuda Takato smiled. It seemed that this Imperial Demon wasn't the kind of heartless Digimon after all.

Then, Matsuda Takato turned around, faced his companions, and said solemnly, "That's enough for now. Let's go meet Suzakumon."

“Takato…” Kato Juri looked at Matsuda Takato with complicated eyes.

This is also the agreed-upon outcome.

Last night, besides needing to know who the god they wanted to see was, they also focused on discussing how to meet the god of the Digimon.

After all, if the negotiations don't go well, then a fight is practically inevitable.

As for the battle between Ultimate-level beings, through the fight between Gallantmon and Spiralmon, everyone knew how destructive that power was. Therefore, in order to avoid harming their companions, they decided to leave some of them behind.

Originally, Matsuda Takato's plan was for him and Makino Ruki to go together, since they both possessed the power of the Ultimate level.

However, this was met with opposition from the others.

They believed that having a few more fully-fledged members might be able to disrupt the enemy in the event of a major battle.

Ultimately, both Matsuda Takato and Makino Ruki chose to go with Li Jianliang and Alice to meet the Digimon God.

There's no other reason than that the original group of animal trainers consisted of these four, and the tacit understanding between them was something that their later partners who became animal trainers could not match.

Kato Juri quickly accepted the result and told them to be careful.

However, it seems that after finding a partner, Hirokazu Shiota wanted to show off and took the initiative to participate.

However, he was quickly refuted and felt utterly ashamed.

Li Jianliang chuckled and said that he could evolve Terriermon into Golden Velocidrome on his own.

Having witnessed the power of the Golden Speed ​​Beast, Shiota Hirokazu, unwilling to give up, turned his attention to Alice.

As a result, Alice directly dealt Hiroshi Shiota a critical hit—Dobermon and I might be able to evolve into Ultimate form.

Hirokazu Shiota trembled as he tried to refute the idea that it was a possibility...

Dobermon took the initiative to say that he was stronger than Andromon because he could improve himself by changing his form.

Thus, the Shiota Hirowa sank...

Returning to the present situation, after Matsuda Hiroto finished speaking, those who were supposed to stay stopped in their tracks.

After giving the four animal trainers some encouragement, I watched them leave.

When the approaching footsteps lessened, the dog-god beast couldn't help but glance back. Then it turned back as if nothing had happened. In its view, as long as the four core beast tamers who had defeated their Emperor Demon hadn't left, the rest were just there to make up the numbers.

Chapter Ninety-Five: The Indifference of the Vermilion Bird Beast

"What should we do? Should we walk over there?" Matsuda Hiroto asked, looking at the staircase that stretched to the end.

“No need,” Inugamimon replied. “Just follow me.”

He then led everyone through the imposing gate of the building and stopped in front of the steps.

Before anyone could ask, a bubble-like sphere slowly enveloped them, and then moved straight forward as if riding a subway.

"That's amazing," Li Jianliang exclaimed.

If they had a vehicle like this bubble, they could travel all over the digital world without any problem.

Unfortunately, this tool is probably only available here, and there must be a special way to start it.

Li Jianliang looked at the dog-like beast and thought to himself.

Suzakumon, the god of the Digital World, I'm about to meet him. At this moment, Matsuda Takato's thoughts were somewhat complicated, a mixture of anticipation for meeting the god of the Digital World and unease about the upcoming meeting and discussion.

However, they had no way back and could only move forward.

"Renamon, if we fight Suzakumon, what do you think our chances of winning are?" Makino Ruki thought to herself, connecting with her partner's mind through the Arc Light Machine.

"I don't know," Renamon replied. "I haven't seen Suzakumon yet, so I can't judge these things. But since it can become the god of all Digimon in the Digital World, then in the Ultimate level realm, Suzakumon... or rather the Four Holy Beasts, must be an incredibly powerful Digimon."

If it were me in the past, I probably wouldn't have even dared to dream of challenging someone of this level.

'Heh, it's rare to see you like this. Fox Demon Beast, are you scared?'

Fear? Heh...maybe. But I'm probably more afraid that I won't be able to protect Ruki when the time comes.

Don't talk nonsense. I believe you can protect me, and besides... I'm not the kind of person who backs down before the battle even begins. The Vermilion Bird Beast, hmph, I'd like to see what it's made of!

'Heh, as expected of Ruhime.'

While Renamon and Makino Ruki were opening an encrypted channel, Alice and Dobermanmon were also busy.

Because the one leading the way at this moment is Inugamimon, not BlackMearmon, who is already one of their own in the original work, Alice, like Makino Ruki, also opened an encrypted channel.

"Hey, Doberman, do you think we'll ever get back alive?" Alice's first words were full of despair.

And this can't be blamed on her. Although Alice doesn't understand the hierarchy of Ultimate levels, she doesn't comprehend the intricacies involved at all.

However, this did not prevent her from understanding the power of the Four Divine Beasts.

Because Alice's life was saved by the Azure Dragon Beast.

When she lost her life and her soul fell into the Digital World due to an experiment related to research on the Digital World, the azure dragon pulled her back from the brink of death and shaped her into a digitized body, giving her the right to live again.

Whenever she thinks of this, she can't help but marvel at the greatness of the Azure Dragon Beast.

Now that she has obtained the Arc Machine and partnered with Dobermon, she possesses this power. Furthermore, thanks to her bond with Dobermon, the gate to the Ultimate level is ready to open at any time to welcome her.

In terms of rank alone, she could be said to be on the same level as the Azure Dragon Beast.

However, it was only when they reached this level that they clearly realized how enormous the difference was between the two ultimate forms.

This gives a glimpse into the power of the Azure Dragon Beast. So, how does the power of the Vermilion Bird Beast, one of the Four Sacred Beasts on par with the Azure Dragon Beast, manifest itself?

Alice… The Doberman called out to its tamer in its mind, while in reality it brought its head close to Alice and gently licked her fair cheek.

No matter what happens, I will stand by you through thick and thin.

"Doberman Beast... Alice silently stroked the Doberman Beast's head, her fear seemingly fading considerably. Thank you."

Boom!

After Bubble led everyone to the end of the staircase, it burst and disappeared.

"Follow me, Lord Suzakumon is waiting for you inside," said Inugamimon, then led the group onward.

"How magnificent..." Matsuda Keito exclaimed. The entrance gate alone was so ornately and grandly carved; it was hard to imagine how many people would visit if it were on display.

Matsuda Keito's thoughts veered off to the other side.

Finally, they reached the end of the gate and saw another gate.

This time, Inugamimon had lost all his arrogance. He lowered his head and respectfully said, "My God, the human and his partner Digimon have been brought here. Please allow them to see you."

After saying this, the dog-god beast still bowed its head respectfully, but the door slowly opened, and a scorching aura followed.

"Now it's up to you to go and meet my god yourselves," said Inugamimon. "My task is simply to bring you here."

"Thank you, Inugamimon." Matsuda Takato thanked Inugamimon for leading the way and then decisively walked into the gate.

The others followed Matsuda Hiroto inside.

Upon hearing this, and seeing Matsuda Takato's resolute back, Inugami's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he murmured, "You do have some guts. I hope you can get out of here alive."

........

......

......

The beast tamers stepped into the crimson hall and looked at the burning flames in the center. Even though they had never actually seen the other person before, Matsuda Takato knew their identity from the first glance.

"The Four Sacred Beasts - Vermilion Bird!" Matsuda Takato said in a deep voice.

"good!"

Suddenly, a majestic voice emanated from the flames, which then unfolded into the image of a burning firebird. The next moment, the Vermilion Bird's form was fully revealed within the flames; the burning flames were merely embellishments on its feathers, with only the neck and tail visible.

The twelve digital cores in total are a symbol of his power.

Suzakumon stared at the tamers with its four fierce eyes, "I am the guardian of the southern Digital World, one of the Four Holy Beasts—Suzakumon!"

"Suzakumon, what do you want to see us for?" Matsuda Takato was the first to recover from Suzakumon's imposing presence and asked, "And where is Gulemon? Give Gulemon back to us."

"Hehe, hehehehehe—!!!" As if it had heard something funny, the Vermilion Bird Beast burst into laughter.

"Give it back to you? Give who back to you? Give it back to you who is the guardian of the Digital World? That's ridiculous!"

"As for my purpose in meeting you, it's very simple: I wanted to understand what this so-called evolution between humans and Digimon is all about. Now that I think about it, it's nothing serious; it's just a flawed evolution undertaken by fools!"

Despite being a god who controls flames, the indifference in Suzaku's words was as chilling as a bone.

"If this is all you've got, then die!"

Chapter 96 Saint Gargomon and Anubismon

“Indeed, Gullmon might be the Digital Guardian you mentioned…” Matsuda Takato said, his head bowed.

"but…...."

"She's one of our companions too!" Matsuda Takato suddenly looked up, his gaze meeting Suzakumon's majestic eyes. "If she wants to stay and become a Digital Guardian, we'll bless her; but... if she doesn't want to be that Digital Guardian, then no one can force her to do so!"

"Huh?" A strange light appeared in the majestic eyes of the Vermilion Bird Beast. This young man... has quite a good belief and eyes.

"Moreover... Matsuda Keito gripped the Arc Light Machine tightly, and a warm and comforting light began to emanate from his body."

"Our evolution is not the flawed evolution you speak of. This power of evolution is the power that I, as a human tamer, and Guilmon, as my partner Digimon, created together. This is our power, our bond evolution..."

"As long as Takato and I are together, we are an invincible duo," Guilmon said in a deep voice. "And..."

"Our evolution doesn't need your interference!" ×2

"Aaaaaah—!"

"Oh oh oh oh—!"

The blinding light burst forth completely, and even after enveloping the two of them, it continued to spread relentlessly.

"Humph!"

Seeing its territory being eroded by an external force, the Vermilion Bird snorted coldly in displeasure.

Immediately, the entire crimson hall seemed to come alive. No flames appeared, but an astonishingly high temperature emanated from the hall.

The intense heat compressed the burst of light, attempting to stifle it in its cradle.

Unfortunately, this covert confrontation will eventually come to an end.

boom!

A sharp spear appeared, piercing through the light and simultaneously clearing away the high temperature inside the hall.

The paladin, clad in holy armor, once again stands tall in the world.

"I see..." Suzakumon looked at Gallantmon standing in front of it, its tone enigmatic, "Is this what they call the evolution between humans and Digimon?"

"Do you understand?" Crimson Knightmon asked calmly.

"Hmph, in the end, he's just a half-baked guy with insufficient foundation. Let me show you what the power of a Digimon evolving on its own really means!" Suzakumon looked at Gallantmon, thinking of the Four Great Dragons who were on par with its peers, and then of the Royal Knights who had already stood at the pinnacle of the Digital World, and then at this half-baked guy who could only evolve by relying on humans.

An unspeakable anger surged in his heart. He would make it clear to the other party that this kind of Ultimate form, which evolved by trickery, was absolutely no match for a Digimon that evolved step by step.

"Screech!" A loud bird cry echoed through the sky.

The next moment, a vortex of fire, comparable to the solar energy ejected by the Big Bang, erupted forth.

—【Red Flame (Kou en)】!

"Hmph, if I have to defeat you to make you understand, then I'll defeat you and show you our power!" Crimson Knightmon said coldly, then raised its Holy Shield and, facing Vermilion Birdmon's flames, unleashed a [Final Elysium] attack.

Boom!

Crimson flames and pure white beams of light collided violently in the air, and surging energy fluctuations spread unchecked.

At this moment, Ruki Makino, who was behind Crimson Knightmon, also completed her network evolution with Renamon.

"【Vajradhatu Mandala】!"
