Chapter 563 Falling into Heaven
"Calm down and explain the situation!"

The person in charge of Gaoshi immediately stepped forward, restrained the agitated intelligence officer, and gave a stern order.

"Yes Yes!"

"He...he's shown up himself! Quick, turn on the TV! And all...all devices that can connect to the internet!"

The intelligence officer, panting heavily, quickly said.

Upon hearing this, the father, who was closest to the television, immediately pressed the remote control.

The old CRT television flickered and then the screen lit up.

However, instead of any normal television channel, the screen displayed only a pure, unsettling blackness.

Immediately afterwards, lines of scarlet Gothic text, like seeping blood, appeared one letter at a time in the center of the screen.

Humble humans, kneel before the throne of darkness.

From this moment on, I, the Vampire Beast, will become your sole ruler.

Fear will be your first offering.

The cold, emotionless announcement was broadcast simultaneously on television, computers, and billboards throughout Tokyo and even all of Japan.

Countless families, offices, and passersby in the city saw this declaration from hell at the same moment.

"Did the attack originate from cyberspace?"

Koushiro reacted the fastest, immediately turning on his computer.

Since the other party implanted this information into all networked devices through broadcast signals and Internet protocol vulnerabilities, they should be able to trace it back to its source.

On the screen, countless streams of code flowed down like a waterfall.

However, at that very moment, the computer screen suddenly trembled.

Several bizarre, one-eyed monsters, seemingly made of rough mosaic, appeared on the screen without warning.

They opened their mouths wide, greedily devouring the data stream on the screen, instantly shattering the tracking cursor into meaningless gibberish.

"This is... a Clawed Beast?!"

Koushiro said, somewhat incredulously.

He could never mistake that image!
It is the boss from the movie "Our War Game", a Digimon mutated from a network virus.

After consuming a large amount of data, it evolved into the Ultimate level Diablomon. Ultimate level Diablomon was finally defeated with the help of children all over the world, who fused WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon into Omegamon.

But the question is, why did this Digimon appear at this particular time?

The apocalyptic beast, its source, has not yet been destroyed...

What a pleasant surprise...

Koushiro took a deep breath; it seemed that there had indeed been some deviations in the plot that he was unaware of.

With that thought in mind, Koushiro temporarily put aside his thoughts, realizing that he currently had far too little information.

Then, he opened the Vulcan icon on his desktop, which was also his computer's security guard.

As the program started, flames made of data began to spread, locking the clawed beasts in fixed positions.

"Beetle Beast!"

Koushiro shouted without turning his head.

"Leave it to me, Koushiro!"

The beetle beast understood immediately, transformed into a stream of data, and burrowed directly into the computer.

A few seconds later, the screen returned to normal completely.

Just then, an email icon suddenly started flashing in the lower right corner of the computer screen. There was no sender information, and the subject line was blank.

The email contained only one line of text and an additional geographic coordinate.

If you want to save the eighth child, come here.

……

Meanwhile, at the top of a skyscraper somewhere in Tokyo.

The night wind howled, blowing the vampire beast's well-tailored black suit.

He released his grip, and a young woman, already lifeless, collapsed softly at his feet, the two small bloody holes on her neck starkly visible in the moonlight.

He didn't glance at the corpses at his feet again, but instead looked down at the city below. His cyberattack had completely paralyzed the city's power system and transportation hubs.

Once a brightly lit metropolis, Tokyo is now swallowed by vast swathes of darkness, with only sporadic firelight and the incessant wailing of sirens indicating that chaos and panic are spreading wildly through the veins of the city.

From the crowds plunged into chaos and despair, streams of dense, invisible dark energy rose up, flowing into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.

He closed his eyes and let out a satisfied sigh, as if savoring the finest wine. This was the purest and most intense darkness he had been seeking.

He slowly turned around and looked behind him.

There, a giant cross was firmly fixed to the center of the rooftop. Kari and Tailmon were bound to opposite ends of the cross by purple energy chains, unable to move.

"You...what on earth do you want to do?!"

Gatomon struggled, its golden eyes filled with grief, anger, and fury.

"You kidnapped Jia'er and created panic in the city. What is your purpose?!"

"Purpose?" The vampire beast slowly walked up to them, a graceful yet cruel smile curving its lips. "My dear little kitty, don't you understand?"

He reached into his pocket and took out the badge of light that should have belonged to Jia Yi.

"The badge of the eighth chosen child symbolizes 'light'."

He spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice carrying a preachy, seductive quality.
"And you and I both know a fundamental truth—the darkness born from the brightest light is also the deepest and most intense."

As he spoke, ignoring Gatomon's horrified gaze, he placed the cold, bright emblem of light around Kari's neck.

Then, he extended his hand, covered by a black glove, to Karen, who was trembling with fear.

A dense purple energy surged from his palm like a venomous snake, instantly covering Jia'er's entire body.

"Now, let me see what kind of desperate darkness the light will give birth to."

Jia'er's body stiffened abruptly, and her eyes instantly lost focus.

Her consciousness was dragged by an irresistible force, plunging into a nightmare constructed from the deepest fears within her.

Scene changes.

She saw the wizard beast that had stood up to protect her and taken a fatal blow not long ago.

The image distorted again.

Her brother Taichi and Agumon were pierced through the chest by Myotismon while trying to save her from him.

She saw the incredulous look on Taiyi's face, saw his outstretched hand fall limply to his side, and saw him murmur her name.

Then, the whole world burst into flames.

The city groaned in flames, and countless people cried out in despair.

The vampire beast that had created all of this stood in the center of the flames, giving her a satisfied smile.

All the death, all the destruction, all the suffering... seemed to originate from her...

"No...no...don't!"

In her mental world, Jia'er let out a piercing scream, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

"Jia'er! Jia'er! Wake up! Don't be fooled by him!"

Gatomon felt a pang of heartache seeing Kari's pained expression.

But it was all too late.

The vampire beast looked at the extreme pain and despair on Kari's face and nodded in satisfaction.

The next moment, the Emblem of Light on Kari's chest and the Divine Plan in her pocket both burst forth with a blinding black light!
An unimaginably vast amount of dark energy, mixed with the distorted power of the Crest of Light, poured into Tailmon on the other side of the cross like a black torrent!
"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

Tailmon let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Her body was enveloped in black light, and the sacred pinky ring shattered inch by inch under the erosion of darkness.

Her body twisted and swelled violently in the light, her pure white fur was stained with an ominous purplish-black, and what stretched out from her back were no longer the wings of an angel, but the ferocious wings of a bat like a demon.

When the black light dissipated, a completely new figure, exuding a terrifying aura, replaced Gatomon's original position.

She still retains the form of a female angel, but her body is now covered by twisted and grotesque armor.

Ophanimon: Fallen Mode.

The guardians of light, in the deepest despair, utterly succumbed...
