Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

If left unchecked, it could potentially create a new forbidden zone in the skies above the Chess Beast Empire.

But that's a story for later. Now, the area shrouded in smoke is affected by strong magnetic field interference, causing the Magic Crystal Beast's detection methods to fail. It can only rely on its own vigilance and intuition to deal with the Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast, which may launch a surprise attack at any time.

"Wait, something's not right!" Suddenly, Huangfu Weilai's pupils narrowed, and he exclaimed in warning.

Upon hearing this, the Magical Azuremon instantly unleashed its skill—【Hec to Edge Blizzard】!

Around it, there were rows of ice-blue swords and shields.

What should have been a blizzard-like attack that relied on sheer numbers was instead used defensively by the Magical Azure Beast. It just goes to show how imaginative it was, not being limited to the use of the skill itself.

"What's wrong?" Only after all this was done did the Magical Azure Beast ask.

"The Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast's energy level... has increased..."

Huangfu Weilai said in surprise that although the explosion caused by the Magic Crystal Beast and the Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast had a great impact, it still could not overcome Huangfu Weilai's authority.

Even though his current physical condition prevented him from seeing the specifics of Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast, Huangfu Future's sensory perspective was still able to detect some aspects of it.

For example, right now, his energy level has actually increased!

"How much has it climbed..." After a moment of silence, the Magical Azure Beast took the initiative to ask. Having learned the system's knowledge, it knew that the most important factor in measuring the difference between Ultimate-level beings was their energy level.

"Second only to the top-tier ultimate form."

.

Magiamon fell completely silent. It should be noted that among the former Royal Knights, only Omegamon and Examon were normally at the top-tier Ultimate level.

The rest of the Royal Knights are all at a level second only to the top-tier Ultimate level.

Even now, although the number of top-tier ultimate forms in the Royal Knights has increased somewhat, there are still many who are only at the level of top-tier ultimate forms.

In other words, the energy level displayed by Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast at this moment is already comparable to that of a Royal Knight ranked lower.

Having understood the enemy's level, how could one not silence the Magical Azure Beast?

Of course, this does not mean that Dark Imperialdramon possesses strength comparable to the lower-ranked Royal Knights.

After all, having the same energy level only means that Dark Imperialdramon can stand on the same starting line as the Royal Knights. In a real fight, Dark Imperialdramon would probably be completely crushed.

Ultimately, this is a difference in the world's foundation and the power of authority, which cannot be resolved simply by leveling up energy.

call……

As the smoke of battle gradually dissipated, Huangfu Weilai's eyes flashed with understanding as he looked at the new form that Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast had revealed.

That upright, energy-surging, and now very stable dragon-human posture...

Without a doubt, it's Warrior Mode!

This is—Dark Emperordramon Warrior Mode!

Chapter Seventy: Escape and Pursuit

In the moments before the explosion spread, Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast immediately realized that this was no longer an injury he could withstand with his bare body; he had to take defensive action in order to preserve himself at the cost of minor injuries.

Dark Imperialdramon and Magical Azuremon are Digimon of the same tier, so why can Magical Azuremon defend without taking damage, while Dark Imperialdramon must be injured to defend itself?

This is the consequence of severely unbalanced academic performance!

Generally speaking, the longer a Digimon lives and the higher its level, the more likely it is to have a way to overcome its weaknesses, if not to achieve all-around development.

For example, the ultimate boss of the original series—Myotismon.

They know they are vampires. Even if they don't have the weakness of dying in the light, they are indeed weakened during the day and in places with light sources.

Therefore, they cleverly prepared a fog barrier.

It directly blocked out the sunlight, putting myself within the barrier in a state where I could unleash my full power.

Therefore, trying to weaken him through sunlight is simply wishful thinking!

Even the Ultimate-level Myotismon knows how to make up for its weaknesses, but the Mega-level Dark Imperialdramon does not.

It's not that he can't do it, it's just that he's too arrogant.

He arrogantly believed that no Digimon could break through his physical defenses. Even the most dangerous battle he had ever fought was only because there were too many Ultimate Digimon and he lacked rationality, which led to the unfortunate outcome.

In the end, however, Dark Imperialdramon emerged victorious.

Because of the intense threat to its life during the beating, Dark Imperialdramon not only regained its sanity, but also gained control of its uncontrollable power with the help of external forces, and a new power was born.

Finally, they killed all the Ultimate beings involved in the siege, thus destroying their forces.

In this coastal region, Dark Emperordramon, even in its dragon form, is already the strongest creature.

If Dark Imperialdramon were to use its new power to create a warrior form, it's hard to imagine anyone being able to defeat it.

Therefore, following his already invincible mindset, Dark Emperordramon allocated all his power points to attack power.

Their abilities in defense and speed rely on their strong physical attributes.

If Dark Emperordramon had never encountered an opponent of equal strength, that would have been fine, since its weakness in defense is something not every Digimon can overcome.

However, once it encounters an opponent of the same level, such as the current Magiamon, then Dark Emperordramon's disadvantages will become apparent.

Although DarkArmormon was somewhat annoyed that it could not defeat its enemy in its current form, it decided to unleash its full power rather than suffer the more humiliating consequence of being the first to be injured.

Thus, Dark Imperialdramon in Warrior Mode made its first appearance!

- The path appears, and it faces the shock wave of the Big Bang.

However, the current Dark Emperordramon no longer uses its physical body to withstand the explosion.

With a single outstretched hand, Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast produced a transparent energy ball that rapidly expanded, protecting it within.

The shockwave from the explosion was indeed powerful, but it couldn't harm Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast, which had activated its shield.

In gaming terms, Dark Emperordramon has activated an invincible state, becoming immune to attacks for one turn!

"You're really good at making me use my full strength," Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast praised, but his praise sounded like he was looking down on Magic Crystal Beast from a high place, which made him extremely unhappy.

"So, you can die content now!" With that, Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast's words turned fierce, revealing its true nature.

Dark Imperialdramon raised the laser cannon that had been transferred to its left forearm in Warrior Mode, unleashing a move familiar to Magical Azuremon: "Positron Laser!" 77

It's the same person, the same move, but the power has increased exponentially.

"Drink up—!!!" the Magical Azure Beast roared, gathering energy with its left shoulder's dragon jaw to launch a counterattack.

A wave carrying the full power of the Magical Azure Beast, containing absolute zero, was condensed and unleashed. This was the Magical Azure Beast's ultimate technique and its strongest attack.

【Absolute Blast】!

Soon, the wave formed by absolute zero was unleashed. The attack, which should have shattered everything, only managed to reach Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast's 'positron laser cannon' for two seconds before being shattered and then pushed back.

Fortunately, those two brief seconds were not entirely wasted.

Instead, it gave the Magical Azure Beast time to react, just as its ultimate technique was about to be broken and the 'Positron Laser Cannon' was about to be pushed over.

The Magical Azure Beast suddenly spread its ice wings and launched itself into the air.

That's how they barely managed to dodge the Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast's deadly attack.

The positron laser cannon, which had been dodged, continued its straight course without slowing down, finally unleashing its full power when it struck the Dark Sea not far from the Chess Beast Empire.

The heat of the explosion and the surge of electricity rushed into the sea.

Eventually, the seabed was exposed, revealing a spherical area of ​​damage with a diameter of 500 meters.

A large amount of steam hissed and enveloped the area around the damaged site. Even with the backflow of seawater, the crater could not be filled for the time being because the high-temperature aftershocks from the explosion continued to spread, preventing seawater from entering.

"What terrifying attack power." The Magic Crystal Beast glanced at the situation in the sea and then focused all its attention on the Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast, because if it wasn't careful, it might die.

"Run, Magia Crystal Beast." At this moment, Huangfu Future suddenly spoke calmly, "Lure Dark Imperialdramon to the surface of the sea, and then find a way to shake him off. In his warrior form, he is no longer someone you can handle in his current state."

"After that, I'll become stronger and then fight him again."

"I understand." After a moment of silence, the Magical Azure Beast finally spoke.

Huangfu Future could understand the feelings of the Magical Azure Beast to some extent. After all, it was inevitable that he would feel bad after being invincible since his debut and suddenly suffering a setback.

However, it is truly foolish to fight to the death with an enemy you cannot defeat.

After all, neither Huangfu Future nor Magical Azuremon had any reason to stay and fight Dark Emperor Dragon Armormon to the death.

Conversely, for Dark Emperordramon, whose only focus is on Magiamon, this place will actually become safer after Magiamon leaves.

Having figured things out, the Magic Crystal Beast launched another attack to cover its attack. Then, with Huangfu Future's support, it unleashed a speed comparable to Dark Emperor Dragon Armor Beast and decisively fled towards the Dark Sea.

"Don't try to escape!"

As expected, Dark Emperordramon, upon realizing that Magic Azuremon intended to escape, spread its wings and decisively gave chase.

As for why he didn't threaten the people of the Chess Beast Empire...

Judging from his own experience, if faced with such a threat, Dark Emperordramon would naturally choose to leave and return the following year when his strength has greatly increased to take revenge and fulfill their past friendship.

If your companion isn't dead but captured alive, then attack them together; after all, killing the enemy is a way to avenge your companion.

As for his comrade who died at his hands, now that he has avenged him, he can surely rest in peace in the afterlife.

It can only be said that Dark Emperordramon doesn't trust the idea of ​​bonds between partners at all.

If he were to actually use the Chess Beast Empire to threaten the Magical Azure Beast, success would be fine, but failure would only make things difficult for him and allow the Magical Azure Beast to escape even further.

Especially now that the Magic Crystal Beast's flight speed is so fast, if it falls behind, Dark Imperialdramon might really not be able to catch up.

Therefore, instead of gambling on the Magiamon's sympathy, it's better to keep chasing after it to reduce the chances of things going wrong.

...

"They've left..."

After the oppressive amount of data in the sky receded and disappeared, Wang Qishou breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've really learned something new that an Ultimate-level Digimon can be this strong." Hydramon sighed.

Spinosaurus nodded silently, indicating its agreement with Hydramon's statement.

"Haha, after all, the Dark Area is so vast, it's understandable that one or two powerful Digimon would emerge from it," Olegmon said with a hearty laugh after regaining its cheerful demeanor.

"The Dark Sea is home to terrifying Digimon, especially in the Deep Sea area, where every Ultimate-level Digimon is no ordinary creature."

"Now that you mention it, I guess I've seen quite a few powerful Digimon, hahahahaha—!"

As he was talking, Olegmon, for some reason, started laughing out loud.

"Alright, shut up! It's time to rebuild our empire!" In the end, King Chess Beast couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Olegmon's loud laughter.

At the same time, the King Chess Beast regained its spirit, began to call itself the King, and prepared to rebuild the half-destroyed Chess Beast Empire.

While Wang Qishou was having a heated discussion, the people on the other side were not idle either.

"Are you alright, Taichi, Hikari?" MetalGreymon emerged from the ruins and looked at the Yagami siblings, whom he was protecting beneath him.

“We’re fine,” Yagami Taichi replied.

"Where's Meixin? Is she alright?" Hikaru Yagami asked.

“We’re fine too.” The Great Maine Coon emerged from the ground, revealing the Moonflower Heart it was carrying.

"Thanks to Little Burmese for protecting me in time." Mochizuki Mei smiled shyly, then said to the Great Maine Coon, "Ta-da."

"Ta-da!" the Maine Coon replied, and the two smiled at the same time.

"By the way, what about the future? What's the future like?" Suddenly, Mochizuki Mei thought of their companions who faced the black dragon that destroyed the Chess Beast Empire, so she quickly asked Yagami Taichi.

"We can't locate them anymore; they've already left..."

Taichi Yagami gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the location information of Huangfu Future displayed on the goggles. However, the information that was previously marked was now quickly out of the detection range and disappeared from the map displayed on the goggles as the Magical Azure Beast moved at high speed.

Fortunately, the products produced by Huangfu Future are quite good in terms of performance.

Although the others had left the area covered by the goggles map, an arrow was still marked on the map to indicate Huangfu's approximate direction.

"If we just follow this direction, we'll definitely find them." Yagami Taichi explained the function of the goggles simply and encouraged the others not to give up.

“Yes, we will definitely find them,” Mochizuki Meiko said firmly.
