Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

The data of Belial Vampire Beast within his body was completely decomposed, turning into scattered puzzle pieces, which were ultimately used to complete the incomplete blueprint of Piedmon.

immediately-

A pitch-black resentment suddenly emerged and coiled around the Clown King, enveloping him completely.

Finally, it condensed into a pitch-black data sphere.

The data on resentment appears on the table.

Piedmon ----- Evolution

The data sphere began to melt, Clown King—No!

He has now changed his stance and re-entered the stage in a completely new form, becoming the new leader of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings!

"Ghost Mask Beast, step onto the stage!"

In this dimly lit room, he performed and muttered to himself with the gentlemanly manners of someone stepping onto a stage.

Chapter 118 The performance has begun, and thunderous applause is offered.

"It seems you're quite satisfied."

Suddenly, in the Piedmon's palace, in a room that should have only contained Ghost Mask Beast, a second voice came from.

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Mask Beast paused, but showed little wariness, and... unexpectedly continued its solo waltz on its own.

"Well, have you thought it through and decided to join forces with me completely?" After a long pause, the voice continued.

"...What grudge do you have against that Digimon? Or perhaps, does the other party possess some great secret?" Ghost Maskmon didn't answer, but instead asked the other party.

"Hmph! That's none of your business!"

The result was exactly as Ghost Mask Beast had expected; the other party indeed did not answer.

However, the Ghost Mask Beast was not dissatisfied; it was just a tentative inquiry.

So, what's your decision?

The voice asked again, but this time it was clearly tinged with displeasure.

In an instant, the gloomy room, which seemed to house only one person, suddenly became somewhat heavy.

It's not the atmosphere, but the literal, physical heaviness.

The energy levels formed by the massive amount of data can pose a powerful deterrent to even ordinary Ultimate-level Digimon.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary Ultimate forms.

It has absolutely no effect on the Dark Four.

Not to mention, the leader of the Dark Masters has already undergone a second evolution at the Ultimate level, and his strength has truly improved dramatically compared to his time as Piedmon.

Therefore, this deterrence only represents the other party's attitude and does not actually deter the Ghost Mask Beast.

However, the Ghost Mask Beast was not an easy opponent. Faced with this intimidation, or rather, this test, the Ghost Mask Beast retaliated.

The massive amount of resentment data was released, and the already dark room seemed to be shrouded in darkness at this moment, with the energy condensed from the endless 'vengeful spirits' roaring in wails.

Invisible yet substantial pressure clashed and interacted in this tiny room.

The Ghost Masked Beast was still dancing its solo waltz, but its breathing was somewhat disordered, and its steps and movements were somewhat heavy.

Meanwhile, no further sound came from the other side.

The two clashed, seemingly over an eternity, yet also in the blink of an eye.

The two stopped at the same time, without prior arrangement.

The heavy atmosphere dissipated abruptly, and the room returned to its usual dark and gloomy state.

Everything before seemed to have been an illusion.

but.

Only the cracked floor beneath the Ghost Mask Beast's feet revealed traces of their battle.

"I have no reason to refuse."

After a long while, the Ghost Masked Beast remained expressionless, as if talking to itself.

"Humph."

Finally, a response came from that voice.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Ghost Mask Beast had already agreed.

However, a question once again arose in the Ghost Mask Beast's mind: was its opponent really that powerful?

It turns out that the other side needs to seek allies in order to have the ability to fight back.

Thinking of this, the Ghost Mask Beast couldn't help but ask.

Perhaps to provide information to their allies, or perhaps for other reasons, the voice no longer refused but instead offered an explanation:

"If I had to say, our strengths are actually about equal."

"but……"

"When I heard from him again, it seemed he had found a partner of similar strength, and together they accomplished something significant."

"The last time I heard from him was more than a decade ago when he made a brief appearance in the digital world..."

"I'm not sure if the companion who left with him is still with him, but I don't want a third party to interfere in my battle with him."

"He... is a prey that only I, and only I, can hunt!"

"For this, I need an assistant..."

“So, you’ve chosen me?” the Ghost Mask Beast added.

"good."

"In this weak Digital World, only you and that Azure Dragonmon are worth watching; the rest of the Ultimate Digimon are trash."

Ghost Mask Beast's face twitched. He knew that he was on par with the "trash" in the other party's mouth, forming a united force of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings.

Even if Clown King is stronger than the other three Heavenly Kings, he's not much stronger.

So, the other party's sweeping generalization actually included him in the criticism as well...

"However, even so, you are still too weak."

"So, my original plan was to help you defeat the Four Divine Beasts..."

"But you are outstanding."

"You defeated the enemy on your own without my help, saving me the trouble."

"That's why I made up my mind to invest in you."

The voice then changed its tone:

"Of course, if you fail to evolve, or do not reach the same level as me, then my methods will be different."

The Ghost Masked Beast nodded knowingly, paying no attention to the methods the other party mentioned.

After all, success makes you an ally, while failure naturally makes you a tool.

Ghost Mask Beast had nothing to say about this.

The Digital World is a dog-eat-dog world, and as the original and current 'villain' BOSS, he has a clear understanding of this and is aware that failure will lead to his own demise.

Therefore, the fact that the other party told him so 'honestly' made the Ghost Mask Beast feel strange and... relieved.

After all, even if the other party wanted to attack you, they would probably do it openly, unlike the old coin behind the Four Divine Beasts, who always quietly throws a huge bomb at you.

The first instance was the creation of the Four Divine Beasts, which sparked a war that lasted for thousands of years.

The second instance is the chosen children who directly bring humans from the real world into the realm, which is tantamount to opening a dimensional gate and letting extraterrestrial demons in—a traitorous act...

To be honest, Ghost Mask Beast knew perfectly well that he wasn't a good person.

However, compared to the Ghost Mask Beast's repeated actions that shattered its perception of His/Her moral limits, the Ghost Mask Beast ridiculously believed that he/she could actually be a good person.

"The next time we meet, we'll probably be fighting that guy. You'll have to keep the other troublemakers at bay."

The Ghost Mask Beast didn't reply; it simply stopped its solo waltz silently as the other party had already left.

At this moment, the Ghost Mask Beast could already sense that the other party had left the room, or rather, the space of the palace.

"It's so powerful it's frightening..." the Ghost Mask Beast remarked.

When the other party first approached us seeking cooperation.

In fact, the Ghost Mask Beast refused.

However, the overwhelming strength of the opponent forced Ghost Mask Beast to agree and temporarily follow their arrangements.

However, the other party did not directly ask the then-Pitmon to do anything, but only gave the other party information about evolving again, as well as some data.

At first, the Ghost Mask Beast was suspicious and wary of this, but then it turned into surprise and excitement, and finally... after countless inspections, it decided to test it itself.

Then, he went to the real world to capture the vampire beast.

After all, his nightmare army only had one powerful vampire beast.

After bringing the other party back and eating them, it was confirmed that the other party's information was accurate.

The stage for the birth of the Ghost Mask Beast was thus set.

Their strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

The Ghost Masked Beast no longer had any doubts, and only then did they form a true alliance.

"How powerful must someone be to be able to rival that guy, to become his enemy and opponent?"

Only after evolving into Ghost Mask Beast could he understand the opponent's strength.

After all, Ghost Mask Beast is comparable to its opponent. With its current strength, it could easily defeat its former self, even if it couldn't instantly kill its opponent.

"I'm going to be busy from now on."

The enemies that followed were no longer at the level of the Four Divine Beasts, but rose directly to the same level of strength as themselves.

Only by knowing one's own strength can one determine how formidable the enemy is.

Sometimes, Ghost Mask Beast even wondered if it would be better for him to continue the stalemate with the Four Holy Beasts.

After all, everyone is on the same level and has been fighting for thousands of years. While we may not know each other inside and out, we do have a way of understanding each other.

Now, Ghost Mask Beast believes that if it hadn't leveled up so quickly, it might have been eliminated by the version update.

Is the Clown King powerful?

Nature is powerful!

As the leader of the Four Dark Kings, the enemy of the Four Holy Beasts, and even the near-ruler of the world before the appearance of the Four Holy Beasts, one could not have reached such a height without that strength.

Now, having sealed away the Four Holy Beasts, they have gained control of the world and thus created Dark Tornado Mountain.

With this blessing, the power of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings was enhanced.

Furthermore, if this blessing, which is divided into four parts, were all concentrated on one person, then the Digimon that received this blessing might have its power increased to an even higher level.

Perhaps this is why, in the original story, the Clown King would disregard the deaths of the other three kings he had lived with for thousands of years.

This cake is only so big. If there's one less person, the rest of the people will eat even more. If there's only one person, they might even be stuffed.

Of course, nowadays, the idea of ​​secretly using the chosen children to eliminate their 'comrades' is no longer a possibility.

The birth of the Ghost Mask Beast directly overturned all ill intentions.

Furthermore, I've heard that among the chosen children, there are hidden powers on the same level as my current self.

The Ghost Mask Beast could only be thankful that it had maintained its elegant aesthetics quite well.

At least I was glad that I didn't just jump out at that moment.

Otherwise, he could have gone to keep Belial the Bloodsucking Beast company and become his buddy in misery.

"It's time to get ready."

Ghost Maskmon muttered to itself, "Judging by the time, the Chosen Children won't be long before they arrive in the Digital World. Now I should go find the other three Heavenly Kings to discuss how to surround and stop the children, and also chat with my companions from thousands of years ago about the most appropriate way to make my appearance."
