Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

Meanwhile, the Ice Demon Beast spread its seemingly damaged wings, flapped them forcefully, and soared into the sky.

Both Darkdramon and IceDevimon fled in opposite directions, clearly presenting MetalGreymon with a choice between two options.

At the same time, it's a choice they're gambling with their lives on, a fifty-fifty chance to see who's lucky enough to survive.

Seeing this, the calm Yagami Taichi understood their intentions the moment they split up and fled, but he remained composed.

"Can it escape?" Taichi Yagami asked calmly. If it were before, he might not have cared if the Digimon escaped, but now...

His intuition told him that the malicious words spoken by Darkdramon and Glaliemon were very unfriendly to them.

Or perhaps it's just that it's very unfriendly to Yagami Hikaru?

Perhaps, this is the outburst of a sister complex soul.

Taichi Yagami noticed something that no one else had noticed: the two Digimon were looking at Hikari Yagami with greed in their eyes.

It was like those deep-sea divers seeing Yagami Hikari...

This made Taichi Yagami suspect that they were all coveting his sister.

Therefore, as the only person that Hikari Yagami can wholeheartedly rely on in this Digital World Dark Zone, Taichi Yagami will not allow any danger to come near her.

Absolutely not!

Therefore, the information from Darkdramon and Glaliemon became extremely important at this moment.

then……

“MetalGreymon,” Taichi Yagami said calmly.

"I understand, Taichi." MetalGreymon immediately understood what Taichi Yagami meant.

Subsequently

boom!

The ground cracked open, and MetalGreymon suddenly took off. Its enormous body was not bulky at all; instead, it unleashed a terrifying speed.

With the force to smash everything in its path, it charged straight at IceDevilmon.

"Damn it!!! This is outrageous!!!" the Ice Demon Beast roared, "Why didn't you chase after that guy? You were much easier to catch him!"

Clearly, IceDevimon's plan was that since it could fly, it would be faster than BlackDramon, which could run on the ground. Instead of going through all the trouble of catching it, IceDevimon would go after BlackDramon, which was easier to catch. And if MetalGreymon went after that guy, IceDevimon would be able to escape.

but now……

"Why?! Don't come any closer!!!"

Faced with IceDevimon's questioning, MetalGreymon ignored it and directly closed the distance between them at an astonishing speed until they were less than an arm's length apart.

"Damn it, so what if you're a Perfect level! Even if I die, I'll tear a piece of your skin off!" IceDevimon's face hardened, as if it foresaw its own end.

So he decisively turned around, extended his claws, and took the initiative to attack MetalGreymon.

【Frost Claw】

Clang!

With a metallic clang, the Ice Demon Beast's claws snapped off at the root.

"Not bad courage." Finally, seemingly moved by the opponent's willingness to fight back with such desperate measures, MetalGreymon said with a hint of admiration.

Then, ignoring the cries of IceDevimon, it grabbed IceDevimon with its right arm without mercy, turned and took it away.

During this time, IceDevimon naturally struggled, but MetalGreymon squeezed hard with its right hand.

With a cracking sound of bones breaking, the Ice Demon Beast's body went limp, and the sounds in its ears and the movements in its hands completely ceased.

MetalGreymon began to chase BlackGreymon. Even after the other monster got far away, it tried to shake off MetalGreymon by turning left and right, relying on its familiarity with the surrounding terrain. But it was all in vain.

Since the Agumon era, although his sense of smell is not as good as those Digimon who specialize in it, he does have the talent of finding Digimon by smell.

Furthermore, as a semi-mechanized modified Digimon, MetalGreymon now possesses the ability to lock onto its opponents by scanning.

This ability was originally intended for use after using the Giga Destruction Cannon, to track enemies.

However, this doesn't stop MetalGreymon from using it to find its enemies.

then……

"Found it," MetalGreymon said in a deep voice, and then...

【Trident Arm】!

The MetalGreymon's left arm aimed directly at the target and then fired.

With a sudden roar, the trident arm flew out, piercing directly through the Dark Dragon Beast's body. Then, the trident arm retracted, taking the Dark Dragon Beast with it.

At this point, MetalGreymon had a BlackGreymon in its left hand and a GlaDevimon in its right.

"It's a waste of effort."

Looking at the Darkdramon with its face full of pain, MetalGreymon coldly commented.

Then, as if he had completed his mission, he flew straight back.

......

boom!

boom!

Two thuds sounded as Darkdramon and IceDevimon were thrown to the ground by MetalGreymon like dead dogs.

Although it appears that Darkdramon's penetrating wound is more severe, while Glavydramon appears to be unharmed.

In reality, their injuries were about the same, neither was worse than the other.

One had his chest pierced, and the other had all his bones crushed.

Neither of them is pleasant.

"Can you talk now?" Yagami Taichi's expression remained calm, but it was precisely because of this that Yagami Taichi appeared so terrifying.

Huangfu Future had the foresight to have Mochizuki Meiko take Yagami Hikari away.

Only he and Hakumon remained, now eagerly witnessing Taichi Yagami's growth.

Upon hearing this, IceDevimon and Darkdramon exchanged another glance, and seeing their own disheveled appearance in each other's eyes, they both couldn't help but smile wryly.

Then, without holding back, he revealed everything about the treasure 'cake'.

After listening to their conversation, Taichi Yagami frowned and remained silent.

It turns out that the reason they attacked Huangfu Weilai and his group was not because they were passing through their territory, but because Yagami Hikaru had a kind of radiance about him.

A bright light in a dark area, like a campfire lit in the night.

They all had a premonition that as long as they consumed that light and reversed it into darkness, they would receive unimaginable and astonishing benefits.

This is the real reason why they have been attacking Huangfu Weilai and his group.

This is also the reason why Yagami Taichi fell silent.

At this moment, in Huangfu Weilai's eyes, Yagami Hikari was like "Tang Monk's flesh," attracting the covetous eyes of all kinds of demons and monsters.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Traces of Constancy

"Do you have a plan for the future?"

At that moment, Yagami Taichi suddenly remembered that he had a Doraemon who could create digital gadgets by hand, so with a glimmer of hope, Yagami Taichi asked Huangfu Mirai.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Weilai's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected that Yagami Taichi would come directly to him instead of trying to find another way.

However, although surprised that Yagami Taichi directly sought her help, Huangfu Mirai still replied, "I need to check, and I can't guarantee that I can do it."

"That's enough." Taichi Yagami nodded slightly, then looked at the two Digimon at MetalGreymon's feet and began to plan his next move.

After all, although Taichi Yagami has grown a lot, he has not yet reached the point of being ruthless.

Even though Darkdramon and IceDevimon attacked them earlier, they have now revealed important information that Taichi Yagami wanted to know.

Seeing how honest and obedient he was, Yagami Taichi felt really bad about discarding him after he had served his purpose.

Meanwhile, seeing Taichi Yagami's slightly conflicted expression, and noticing the two Digimon lying on the ground where his gaze was directed, he noticed...

Huangfu Weilai immediately understood; it seemed that Yagami Taichi's mindset and thick skin still needed some work.

He then took the initiative to help Yagami Taichi out of the predicament, saying, "Leave the two of them to me. I happen to have some other things I want to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Yagami Taichi turned to look at Huangfu Weilai, his body pausing slightly, as if he understood Huangfu Weilai's plan.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated and didn't make a sound, looking as if he was stammering and didn't know what to say.

Huangfu Weilai looked at Yagami Taichi and said, "Go find Hikari. Even with Meiko and Meicoomon, it's still just girls together, and it might not be safe."

“…I understand.” Yagami Taichi took a deep breath, nodded, and then spoke again, this time targeting the MetalGreymon behind him.

"Let's go, MetalGreymon."

"Oh."

MetalGreymon replied, and then orange light flashed. As it took a step forward, it finally transformed into Agumon, who was only in its Rookie stage.

Soon, the two left the clearing and entered the forest again.

"Well..." Huangfu Future smiled like a smiling tiger, then looked at the two Digimon lying on the ground pretending to be dead, "...It's your turn. I hope to get some information I want to know from you."

"Before that... answer my question first..." Ice Demon Beast, with a sudden burst of courage, actually asked Huangfu Future a question.

"Oh?" Huangfu Weilai narrowed his eyes.

Hakumon immediately stepped forward in cooperation, and in an instant, the Savior Hakumon evolved into its Perfect form. Its data volume, even surpassing that of the Ultimate form, crashed onto the two sick and disabled people like waves.

If it weren't for their injuries, Savior Hakumon would have already taught them a lesson.

"You two are in the same boat, you need to get this straight. I'm asking you this question, not the other way around."

"Oh, and remember not to answer questions with questions."

Huangfu Weilai said with a light laugh, but at this moment, his handsome face, coupled with the enormous power of the savior Hakumon behind him, made him look even more ferocious than a demon.

"Cough cough... Another Ultimate-level monster..." Darkdramon smiled bitterly. He knew that this time they had failed and would never have another chance to make a comeback.

So, feeling utterly disheartened, he said, "Ask whatever you want. I'll tell you everything I know, just give me a quick end."

“Alright, a wise beast knows when to yield.” Huangfu Weilai nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the Ice Demon Beast, whose backbone had somehow hardened again, and said coldly, “And you?”

"...I just want an answer so I can die with a clear conscience." IceDevilmon was silent for a moment, then immediately replied.

"Hehe." Huangfu Weilai chuckled, not believing a single word the Ice Demon Beast said, unaware of what the other was cursing him in his heart.

Of course, as long as the other party doesn't say it out loud and Huangfu Weilai can't hear it, then he can curse however he wants.

After all, this is the lament of a defeated dog.

"Sure, ask away." Although she had considered physically silencing the Ice Demon Beast or using other methods of torture, upon closer reflection, it was just a question, and whether or not to answer was entirely up to her.

"You... and that guy who takes orders from MetalGreymon, are you human?"

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Weilai did not expect that the problem with the Ice Demon Beast would be this.

Although there was only one true human in IceDevilmon's words, Huangfu Future calmly admitted that she was human.

"As expected..." A complex look flashed in Ice Demon Beast's eyes, but in the end, it seemed somewhat relieved.

Looking at the other person, Huangfu Weilai's expression suddenly turned strange. "You wouldn't happen to be on the same side as that Ice Demon Beast who wanted to kidnap Makino Ruki, would you?"

On a whim, Huangfu Weilai inquired about how the Ice Demon Beast knew about humans, and also raised some other questions.

The answer I received was: "I only learned about this from a stone slab. Legend has it that Digimon that obtain human power can evolve to unimaginable heights and gain power that normal Digimon cannot obtain through evolution."

"..."

Huangfu Weilai fell into deep thought. A stone slab? This operation seems so familiar…

Oh, right!

It is you, homeostasis

When the Chosen Children wanted to defeat VenomVamdemon, which had evolved into its ultimate form, it was you who used the stone tablet to trick them into taking action.

It was you too.
