Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

They caused the tunnel to collapse halfway through, forcing the two people and two beasts who entered the tunnel to get off halfway.

This caused their destination to take a 180-degree turn, landing them in an unknown place.

Chapter Sixteen: Tunnel Collapses; Savior Hackmon Appears!

Meanwhile, before Taichi Yagami and Agumon met and fought Ogremon in the real world, Miki and her friends were facing Gennai, the agent of homeostasis.

After hearing the racially discriminatory remarks made by the young man Gennai, both Mochizuki Meiko and Hakumon's impression of him plummeted.

It's worth noting that among the Royal Knights, there are two Virus-type Holy Knights, and Hackmon respects these predecessors who have contributed to the development of the Digital World.

Moreover, besides the Royal Knights, Hackmon's closest friend and family member, Sistermon Kuro, is also a Virus-type Digimon.

As a result, the young Gennai, by striking everyone down with a single blow, condemned them all as evil...

Hakumon's gaze toward the young man Gennai gradually turned hostile.

As for Mochizuki Meiko, she simply opposed the practice of unilaterally judging the other party as evil before any conclusion has been reached, even if the Digimon that attacked them, as the young Gennai said, were all virus species.

Huangfu Weilai just looked at him without saying a word.

He had long since moved beyond the distinction between good and bad people, only recognizing differences in their stances.

If their positions differ, even if the other party is a renowned philanthropist, no matter how eloquently others praise them, Huangfu Weilai will not show mercy to his enemy.

As for what the young Xuannei said about the forces behind him being data-based and vaccine-based, Huangfu Weilai believed it.

However, he believes more that homeostasis favors Digimon with the Light attribute.

In the original work, Hikari Yagami and Takeru Takaishi's partner Digimon are both angel-type Digimon with the Light attribute.

It may seem special, but it is actually no different from ordinary Digimon.

In fact, in terms of sheer strength, their ultimate forms might not even be a match for WarGreymon.

But why do they play such important roles in the team?

It's not because they're strong, but because they have a powerful backer.

It seems that constancy can only intervene through concepts related to light.

Angewomon and Angemon possess the power of light, while Hikari Yagami is the holder of the Crest of Light.

They can all serve as mediums for constant intervention.

Just like Taichi Yagami and the other chosen children of the previous generation, homeostasis directly possessed Maki Himekawa, the previous holder of the Crest of Light of Hikari Yagami, and directly gave power to the four Holy Beasts, who were only in their perfect form at the time, in a moment of crisis, allowing them to gain the power to contend with the Four Heavenly Kings.

As for Himekawa Maki's partner Digimon, whether it serves as a sacrifice to give birth to the Four Holy Beasts or as a shield to block the attacks of the Elite Four and buy time, remains unknown.

In any case, from then on, the situation where the Four Heavenly Kings held a monopoly was broken, and with the Four Divine Beasts as their support, they finally had the qualifications to compete on this continent.

The war between the Four Holy Beasts and the Four Heavenly Kings, light and darkness, evolution and degeneration, is practically the main theme of the original world.

"Um...did I say something wrong?" The young man Gennai noticed the sudden silence and sensed something was amiss, so he cautiously spoke up.

The look in Hakumon's eyes, in particular, put a lot of pressure on the young Gennai. He couldn't think of any way he had offended him.

He was aware of the constant arrangements.

Therefore, Hackmon's ability to fight beyond its level is even more remarkable than Meicoomon, a special case, and is just as outstanding as the former Greymon...

Young Gennai was very confident that his habitual, subtle movements were undetectable to anyone, at least not to this group of humans who had only recently arrived in the Digital World.

At most, they would suspect that the Digimon were sent by them, just like they do now.

But this is utter nonsense.

The order to hunt them down came from the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Digimon were also subordinates of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Even if the investigation goes on until the very end, it will only reveal that this was the work of the Four Heavenly Kings.

As for the constancy of something acting as a guide behind the scenes... well, that's obviously not the case.

So, to avoid being implicated, the young Gennai pleaded and even presented some evidence to prove that the Digimon chasing them belonged to the Elite Four.

"So, what is your purpose?" Huangfu Weilai looked at the young man Xuan Nei with a half-smile.

Huangfu Weilai doesn't believe a single punctuation mark of the other party's evidence; even if it were true, it would certainly be the truth that benefits them.

"I would like to ask you to leave the Folder Continent!" The young man Xuan Nei's expression turned serious, as if he had finally gotten to the point.

"What's the reason?" Huangfu Weilai asked with a faint smile.

“This place is too dangerous for you chosen children.”

"Not only are there the four ultimate forms of the Dark Heavenly Kings, but also their minions. You know how dangerous this past month has been. If you continue to stay here, their subordinates will inevitably continue to hunt you down, and it's not impossible that one of the Heavenly Kings will even make a move."

"So, for your safety, you should leave Folder Continent."

The young man, Gennai, spoke with righteous indignation, as if he were only concerned for their safety.

Even Mochizuki Meiko seemed to be deceived by the righteous appearance of the young man Gennei, and was somewhat tempted.

But Huangfu Weilai remained unmoved.

Perhaps it was an intuition stemming from being a fellow old coin, but Huangfu Future always felt that constancy wanted to drive them away.

Seemingly aware that Huangfu Weilai was the one in charge of this group, and seeing the other party's unmoved expression, the young man Xuan Nei continued, "Of course, I have the key to open the real world, and I can send you back to the real world."

As he spoke, the young man Gennai looked at Mochizuki Meshin, hoping to get a breakthrough from her, "You've been in the Digital World for so long, don't you want to go back?"

This episode directly moved Mochizuki Meiko. Although the month of fighting in the Digital World had allowed her and Meicoomon to grow rapidly, Mochizuki Meiko was still an eleven-year-old girl. It was impossible for her not to be mentally exhausted by such frequent battles.

Especially after running away from home for a month, and not knowing that there is a time difference between the real world and the digital world, it is inevitable to be afraid that parents will worry because they can't find them.

'It's over...' Huangfu Weilai sighed inwardly. He couldn't possibly ignore Wangyue Yaxin's thoughts.

However, this may not be a bad thing.

Originally, Huangfu Weilai's idea was to obtain some useful items from the young Xuannei and even Hengchangxing.

For example, in 02, the second generation characters obtained armored vehicles.

but now……

"Never mind, it doesn't make much difference whether it's there or not." Huangfu Weilai regretted missing the chance to get something for free, so before Wangyue Yaxin could speak with those pitiful eyes, he took the initiative to agree to the young man Xuannei's "request".

The young Xuan Nei was also decisive, seemingly not wanting any unexpected changes. He took out a key, inserted it into the void, and turned it, opening a white portal.

“Once you reach the end inside, you will arrive in the real world,” the young man Xuan said, then seemed to remind him, “But you must move quickly, otherwise if you encounter a tunnel collapse, you will be lost in an unknown area.”

"I understand." Huangfu Weilai narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly.

She then took Mochizuki Mate's little hand and led them and Hackmon into the white portal, disappearing into the vast white expanse.

After Huangfu Weilai and his group completely disappeared, the white portal closed automatically.

The young man Xuan Nei's expression changed, and he said leisurely, "Ah~ ah~, they're finally gone. They won't be an eyesore on the Folder Continent anymore."

"..." Something seemed to suddenly appear in the air and speak to the young man, Gennai.

"Hmm, hmm." The young man, Gennai, nodded and said, "I hope it succeeds. One is a chosen one who appeared out of nowhere, especially since his partner is so powerful; the other is simply a chosen one of the Apocalypse..."

"Whichever it is, it's troublesome for the current Folder Continent!"

"..."

"I understand, I understand." The young Gennai nodded helplessly. "Isn't there another Gennai watching over there?"

"Even though my body is cursed to age, I'm not a combatant. I can just use my brain to give instructions."

......"

"Yes, yes." The young man, Gennei, nodded and bowed rather frivolously. "If anything unexpected happens, we will step in to fix it. In a real crisis, aren't you here for us?"

"..."

"Sigh!" The young man, Gennai, sighed, as if something the other person said had hurt him. "I'm really destined to be a hard worker."

After saying that, the young man Xuan Nei turned and left.

It's important to understand that his original job wasn't to coordinate with Huangfu Weilai and his group. It was only because if Huangfu Weilai and his group continued on their way, their plans might change. Therefore, after receiving the order, the young Xuan Nei had no choice but to put aside his own work and come to meet with Huangfu Weilai and his group.

Now that Huangfu Weilai and the others have left, the young Xuan Nei naturally needs to return to his original post.

"Is this the tunnel between the real world and the digital world?" Mochizuki Meiko murmured, feeling her body slowly falling as if weightless.

“Yes.” Huangfu Weilai nodded.

They had previously used a similar passage to eventually reach the Digital World.

However, during that process, Mochizuki Meiko and Maine Coon were unconscious, but now they are awake.

"Hey, Mirai..." Mochizuki Meiko blushed slightly and glanced at her hand, which was being held by Huangfu Mirai, trying to distract herself, "Can that Gennai really be trusted?"

"Of course we can't believe it!" Huangfu Weilai didn't notice Wangyue Yaxin's gaze, simply assuming she was asking him a question, so he spoke up to express his opinion.

Tell Mochizuki Meiko all about the coincidence of the young Gennai's appearance, and the reason why the subordinates of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings were able to find them so accurately.

Therefore, she initially received surprise and admiration from Mochizuki Meiko, which eventually turned into doubt about the young man Gennai: "Why did he do that?"

"Perhaps they're afraid we'll ruin their plans," Huangfu Weilai said after a moment's thought.

"Huh? We've been hunted down for a month just because of this?!" Mochizuki Mei was somewhat indignant.

"Hehe, that's because their good deeds might affect the ongoing standoff between the Four Divine Beasts and the Four Heavenly Kings." Huangfu Weilai smiled. Although Wangyue Yaxin was a bit naive, it wasn't a bad thing.

In Huangfu Weilai's view, it's good to have the characteristics of your age; it's enough that you don't have to be like Mochizuki Yako in the original work, who was forced to mature early because of suffering.

As the two chatted, they gradually lost their way to the end, just as they were about to enter the real world.

Suddenly, a loud noise resounded in all directions.

Then, the entire tunnel seemed to be damaged by an external force and began to shake violently.

"Damn it!"

Huangfu Weilai's pupils contracted, and he immediately thought of the words of the young man Xuan Nei, which seemed to be a reminder but also a way of shifting blame. He pulled hard on the hand that was holding Wang Yue Meixin and hugged her into his arms, while also sandwiching the Maine Coon like a sandwich filling.

Ignoring whether they were upset or not, Huangfu Weilai directly shouted out her current partner: "Hakmon!"

It seems long, but it's actually short.

Hackmon made preparations immediately when the tunnel started to vibrate.

Then, upon hearing Huangfu Weilai's call, he unleashed all his power without reservation.

Hackmon, Mega Evolution—Savior Hackmon!

In an instant, Hakumon, the savior with a red cape on his shoulders and vaguely resembling the future Royal Knight, appeared. His energy condensed into a sphere, directly enveloping Huangfu Future and his group, and placing them on his shoulders.

Then, the savior Hakumon faced this sudden crisis.

Because of an unknown vibration in the tunnel, the destination has deviated from the real world. At this moment, the gate to the destination is completely covered by darkness and is generating a powerful suction force, as if trying to suck everyone in.

"Savior Hackmon, destroy this tunnel for me!" A rare hint of anger appeared in Huangfu Future's eyes. He gripped the Divine Plan tightly and began to provide his power to Savior Hackmon.

If homeostasis really does obediently send them back to the real world, then for Mochizuki Megumi's sake, he plans to temporarily stay away from the Digital World.

But now, instead of bringing them back to the real world, they are clearly being dragged into a dangerous place with an unknown destination.

It's obvious they don't want them to come back alive.

Since that's the case, Huangfu Future decides to go all the way and destroy the tunnel connecting the real world and the digital world.

Even if by then, constancy will still have other channels connecting to the real world, but this destroyed tunnel will never be usable again.

Upon hearing this, the savior Hakumon did not hesitate. With the power of Huangfu Future combined with its own power, it immediately attacked.

In an instant, it unleashed combat power at the ultimate level.

【Meteor Flame】!

Fireballs, each larger than the savior Hackmon, were spewed out like machine guns, instantly igniting the entire tunnel and spreading the flames.

Regardless of the cause of the tremors, the tunnel began to truly collapse under the burning flames, exposing spatial and temporal rifts.

Knowing full well that the spacetime rifts were far more dangerous than the tunnels, the savior Hakumon made a swift retreat after confirming that the flames could destroy the tunnels.

【Trident Saber】!

The weapons on both arms, combined with the tail blade, completely ignored the suction of the end point and tore open a passage away from the tunnel not far away. Although it was unclear where the other side was, it was still better than being sucked into that dark end point.

So, the savior Hakumon led everyone into the abyss.
