Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

Shedding the revealing attire of a priestess, it transforms into a more combat-oriented form. Clad in light golden armor, the Sakuyamon plunges its "Diamond Staff" into the ground, instantly creating a barrier to protect the ordinary humans, Li Jianliang and Alice.

“Big-eared Beast, let’s join in too,” Li Jianliang said.

"Okay!" Big-eared Beast responded.

However, instead of evolving into an Ultimate form, they used the 'Digital Spirit of Destiny' to evolve into an Armored form that is even stronger than an Ultimate form—Golden Speedmon.

"[RapidFire]!" The Golden Rapid Beast unleashed its full power of homing missiles as soon as it appeared.

However, this attack, which was even more powerful than that of an Ultimate-level monster, didn't even warrant a second glance from Suzakumon.

When the missile approached the Vermilion Bird, it was ignited by the high-temperature flames burning on its body, and it vaporized and disappeared without even making an explosion.

"How could this be?!" Seeing this, the Golden Speedmon was surprised and disappointed. Its strength was so great that it couldn't even cause the slightest impact. Was the difference between a non-Ultimate and a true Ultimate level being really that vast?

Alice, who had not yet evolved, took a deep breath as she watched the Golden Speedmon's attacks fail to have any effect. She realized that only a true Ultimate-level monster could intervene in this battle.

"How could this be..." Li Jianliang murmured in disappointment, the Golden Swift Beast's attack had no effect.

"Jianliang." Suddenly, Alice called out Li Jianliang's name.

Upon hearing this, Li Jianliang looked up in confusion, his eyes asking why the other person had called him.

"We must evolve into the Ultimate level. Only by evolving into the Ultimate level and fusing with Digimon can we avoid highlighting our vulnerability as humans. Only in this way can Sakuyamon free up its hands to help Gallantmon, instead of being unable to move because it is protecting us."

Alice spoke earnestly, enunciating each word clearly.

Now, due to the influence of the Vermilion Bird Beast, the temperature in the main hall is completely unsuitable for humans to stay in. In fact, it can be said that as soon as Alice and the others step out of the protective barrier of the Sakuya Beast, they will be instantly burned to a crisp.

"Ahem, it's not that exaggerated." Makino Ruki's somewhat unreliable voice came through, seemingly to accommodate her companion's feelings.

Neither Li Jianliang nor Alice paid any attention. As a burden, even if they didn't say anything, they needed to have a clear understanding of themselves in order to understand themselves and not drag their companions down.

"I understand." Li Jianliang nodded solemnly, then looked at the Golden Speed ​​Beast, pointed the Arc Light Machine at it, and tried hard to recall the feeling of the Golden Speed ​​Beast when it first completed its armor evolution, that connection between hearts.

"Golden Speed ​​Beast!"

"I understand. Go ahead and do it confidently. Don't delay!"

"Heh..." Li Jianliang smiled. "Thank you, Big-Eared Beast. It's because of your continued support that I've been able to steadfastly walk my own path without wavering."

【Matrix Evolution】

At that moment, Li Jianliang transformed into a beam of light, broke through the barrier, and merged with the Golden Swift Beast.

In an instant, in the green-gold light, the towering figure of Saint Gargomon appeared.

.....

“Doberman,” Alice called to her partner.

"Alice... the Doberman also responded to its tamer."

They had spent far more time together than the other three, so their bond was much stronger. If the other three could do it, why couldn't he?

Alice's calm face finally blossomed into a captivating smile. "Dobermon, let them witness our power! The evolution formed by the bond between humans and Digimon is definitely not a flawed evolution!"

"Ah! Alice, let us prove your point."

【Matrix Evolution】

A deep black light erupted, radiating a dazzling brilliance that devoured everything. The next moment, a humanoid Digimon, wielding a scepter, with golden wings and a face resembling a jackal, appeared and stood beside Sakuyamon.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Four Beasts Battle the Vermilion Bird

"Big-eared Beast, let the Vermilion Bird Beast witness our power. This time we will definitely succeed..." Li Jianliang said softly with a firm will.

"【Burst Shot】!" Saint Gargomon straightened his body, and then numerous missiles, rocket launchers, and Vulcan cannons emerged from his entire body. In the next moment, all these projectiles that could be used for firing flew out, aiming directly at Suzakumon.

This time, the Vermilion Bird could no longer ignore it.

"——

The Vermilion Bird's cry was sharp, and the flames that erupted in an instant shattered the balance with Crimson Knightmon. The Vermilion Bird, its entire body engulfed in flames, completely transformed into an immortal bird.

Its burning body completely ignored all the incoming missiles.

At this moment, Anubis made its move.

Anubis drew a four-sided pyramid shape in the void, which then automatically connected to form a phantom of a pyramid.

—【Pyramid Power】!

The illusory pyramid, radiating light, instantly magnified several times, pressing down on the Vermilion Bird Beast with boundless suppressive power.

Meanwhile, in order to cooperate with Anubismon, Sakuyamon, who was standing next to it, also used its power to summon four Kubiko to restrain Suzakumon.

【Izuna】!

"Hmph, a mere trick!" The Vermilion Bird snorted coldly, and the flames around its body burned even more fiercely, directly breaking free from the control of the Pipe Fox. It then opened its mouth, wanting to spew out vermilion flames again to burn the pyramid phantom above its head.

"Don't even think about it!"

Suzakumon broke free from the previous balance of mutual restraint, and so did Gallantmon.

Therefore, to cover its comrades' attack, Gallantmon didn't hesitate to deliver a vicious blow from below Suzakumon, "—Royal Shot!"

Blue-white energy coiled around the holy spear and surged toward the tip before being thrust out with a sudden burst of power.

A cone-shaped beam of light with strong penetrating power suddenly struck, and the Vermilion Bird could only hastily use its claws to meet the attack.

boom!

Gallantmon's 'Royal Shot' was crushed by Suzakumon's claws, but Suzakumon was not unscathed either.

"Tsk..." The Vermilion Bird couldn't help but click its tongue. The part of its paw that had been exposed to the explosion was now emitting some data, which was proof of its injury.

At the same time, because Suzakumon wasted time defending against Crimson Knightmon's attack, the pyramid phantom above his head was now crashing down on him without any obstruction.

boom!

The Vermilion Bird Beast was forced back onto the altar by the pyramid phantom, facing the sealing and suppressing power of the phantom. Even as powerful as the Vermilion Bird Beast was, the energy within its body couldn't help but stagnate for a moment.

Its outward appearance is that of a phoenix burning with flames, but when the flames suddenly go out, the Vermilion Bird's body is exposed without any protection.

"Opportunity!" ×2

Noticing this moment, Gallantmon and Saint Gargomon spoke in unison.

Immediately, Gallantmon raised its shield, and a beam of destruction, imbued with purification power, condensed in the shortest possible time before being unleashed.

————【Final Elysium】!

"Oh oh oh [Giant Missile]!"

Saint Gargomon aimed the turrets on its shoulders at Suzakumon, and then a megaton-class missile was launched from its shoulders.

boom!

boom!

The Vermilion Bird Beast, which was suppressed by the pyramid phantom for a moment, was unable to resist at that time and could only watch helplessly as two powerful attacks hit its body, followed by a violent explosion that devoured it.

A massive mushroom cloud rose up, not only destroying the altar along with the Vermilion Bird Beast, but also blasting the roof of the Vermilion Bird Beast's main hall away with the surging energy at the moment of the explosion.

Saint Gargomon faced the aftershocks of the explosion without retreating an inch.

Crimson Knightmon calmly raised its shield and blocked all the shockwaves from the explosion.

Sakuyamon erected a barrier, protecting herself and Anubismon within it, because she sensed that Anubismon, who was also a god-humanoid, might also be fragile...

A few minutes later, as the explosion subsided, everyone looked at the chaotic scene in the center of the explosion, where the Vermilion Bird was no longer present.

"Did they win?" Matsuda Takato couldn't help but ask when he still hadn't seen the Vermilion Bird.

“No!” Anubismon exclaimed, “As the guardian deity of the south of the Digital World—the Four Holy Beasts, Suzakumon—it will not be defeated so easily.”

"Everyone, be careful and don't let your guard down!"

As soon as the words were spoken, seemingly in response to Anubis's words, an angry phoenix cry came from underground at the center of the explosion.

The Vermilion Bird once again transformed into the form of a phoenix, soaring into the sky from beneath the magma.

Countless sparks began to spread throughout the entire hall, and these sparks even began to radiate outwards.

The Vermilion Bird is getting serious.

"You guys did a great job!" Suzakumon said angrily. "The evolution of humans and Digimon, huh? Then let me test your limits!"

The Vermilion Bird soared into the sky, displaying unparalleled maneuverability. Only in the air could the Vermilion Bird, as a 'sacred bird,' truly reign supreme.

Previously, the reason he was at a stalemate with the beast tamers was simply because he didn't want to destroy their base, so he subconsciously controlled his output and didn't immediately dismantle the beast tamers.

But now, the grand hall that symbolized his majesty, which was equivalent to his home, has been demolished, which means he has been freed from oppression.

The Vermilion Bird, which had originally intended to give Huangfu Future some face, was now completely enraged and decided to take drastic measures.

The Vermilion Bird spread its wings and soared into the clouds in an instant, making its silhouette invisible.

But the tamers weren't naive enough to think the Vermilion Bird had left; instead, they became even more vigilant, knowing that an attack from the Vermilion Bird was imminent.

"Screech—[Red Flame (Kou en)]!"

The Vermilion Bird used its signature flame once again, but this time it was generated by flapping its wings, making it even more powerful than before.

Flames the size of meteorites rained down from the sky, carrying an apocalyptic sense of oppression as they attacked the beast tamers.

"Everyone, come closer to me!" Saint Gargomon shouted, and then all the cannons on its body opened without reservation, firing all the stored missiles at the speed of emptying all the magazines.

Swish—swish—swish—!

Missiles streaked across the sky, leaving dazzling trails of flame, and collided violently with the apocalyptic fire that rained down from the heavens.

The loud explosions continued relentlessly, turning the crimson sky into a dazzling and spectacular display, like a fireworks extravaganza.

"【Am mit】!"

"【Royal Saber】!"

"【Vajradhatu Mandala】!"

Anubismon summons countless hellish monsters to act as cannon fodder, blocking the openings of Saint Gargomon. Gallantmon also uses its Holy Lance to destroy the Heavenly Fire, easing the burden on Saint Gargomon.

The Sakuyamon then reopened the barrier to protect everyone from harm.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Azure Dragon Beast Saves the Day

"Wow, this is the true power of Suzakumon!" As the main force that destroyed 'Heavenly Fire', Saint Gargomon naturally felt Suzakumon's strength even more clearly.

The "skyfire" falling from the sky often requires more than two missiles to destroy.

By launching missiles with the utter disregard for consequences, they did indeed avoid an attack by a meteorite-sized 'Skyfire' in the short term.

However, over time, the drawbacks will soon become apparent.

Just like now...

"Everyone, Jianliang, I'm out of missiles." Feeling the emptiness within him, Saint Garugon said with a bitter expression.

It's important to know that he's quite large. Although he's not as big as the Vermilion Bird Beast, if he stands up straight, he can easily look down on the so-called skyscrapers of the real world.

However, even with its enormous size, Saint Gargomon managed to empty its missiles in such a short time, which shows just how outrageous the attack frequency of Suzakumon was.

"Huff...huff...huff..." Li Jianliang, who was one with Saint Garugon, was panting heavily as he felt the energy and strength flowing out of his body like water being released from a dam.

"Damn it! If we don't have missiles, we'll use our fists and feet. I don't believe the Vermilion Bird Beast can unleash its power indefinitely." Li Jianliang gritted his teeth, got into a fighting stance, and began to display the martial arts he had learned from his master.

"Then be careful, I'll deal with Suzakumon." In the end, Gallantmon made a decision: rather than waiting for Suzakumon to exhaust itself, it would be better for him to fight Suzakumon himself.

It can both attract the attention of the Vermilion Bird and prevent its companions from being hit by the continuous falling heavenly fire.

Having said that, without waiting for his companions' response, Gallantmon charged out of the group and flew towards the clouds.

Perhaps out of a desire to protect its friend, Crimson Knightmon's inability to fly was cured in an instant.

Or rather, this is the natural instinct that Crimson Knightmon possesses.

The Ultimate level not only creates an almost insurmountable power gap between itself and Digimon below the Ultimate level, but also grants the Ultimate level the ability to manipulate energy for levitation and flight. While it may not be as powerful as Digimon with wings that are naturally adept at flying, it can still manage to fly normally.

It's abnormal for an Ultimate form like Gallantmon to not be able to fly.
