Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Author: Elf Generation

Introduction:

As a rainy night descends, Bai Yu transmigrates here penniless, yet possesses the heaven-defying [Knight Item System]!

Watch dials, memory chips, full-bottle bottles, silver coins, cassette tapes...

Isn't this Digimon World? What use are these knight gear to me?

[Time-Space Drive] Fasten it to your waist, and insert the Emperor... oh no, I mean God General's Watch!

"Henshin!"

"Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig!"

"Digital Moment! Zodiac Gods!"

From this moment on, the Digital World has gained a "Demon Lord" who can absorb the power of Digimon, transform at will, and beat everything in his path!

Of course, it doesn't have to be just "Demon King"...

Chapter 1: First Encounter with Ruki

The night was pitch black, and the only sound was the pattering of raindrops on the ground. Otherwise, the entire street would have been eerily quiet.

A boy dressed in black sportswear, holding an umbrella, walked briskly down the deserted street.

The boy had jet-black hair and handsome features, exuding youthful charm. It seemed that his trip was not just a casual stroll.

After winding through several streets and alleys, the boy's lips curled into a slight smile; he had found it.

"Looks like I was right, I wasn't fooled by the passersby." The boy muttered to himself, a hint of relief in his voice.

Before my eyes, a thick white fog filled my field of vision.

This fog was extremely unusual, like a huge, invisible dome that isolated a specific area from the outside world, with a faint halo of light flowing around its edges.

"The world of Digimon..." the boy murmured, a glint of excitement in his eyes.

"It's such a privilege to be here in person. My new life, full of fun and challenges, is about to begin!"

The boy smiled, and the umbrella vanished into thin air, being taken into a peculiar system space.

Then, the boy took a step and stepped into the thick white fog known as the "digital realm".

Without encountering any obstacles, the boy went straight in.

When the fog first entered, it was so thick that you could hardly see your hand in front of your face, and the surrounding sounds seemed to be swallowed up.

The further in you go, the closer you get to the center, the clearer the view becomes.

A low, suppressed roar, like that of a ferocious beast, pierced through the fog and reached the boy's ears.

The boy quickened his pace, and after a few more steps, the veil covering Hui Zhong's face was finally completely lifted.

That was... a giant lynx?

No, that's not right!

It's a Digimon!

Covered in blazing fur, with flames seemingly dancing at the tips of every hair, its overall silhouette is fierce and visually striking.

A scorching heat swept over me, and at the same time, the system notification sounded in my mind.

Lynx: Armored, Beast-type, Vaccine-type; Strength Rating: D.

The boy sized up the lynx; its ferocious aura was chilling.

But the boy's gaze did not linger for long before it was quickly drawn to another figure.

She was a young girl.

Her long, reddish-brown hair with gold streaks was tied up high in a spirited spiky ponytail. She wore a green and white striped T-shirt with a broken sea-blue heart pattern printed on the chest, cool jeans, and a windbreaker that fluttered in the wind. A pair of dark sunglasses perched on her nose.

Even in the dim light and fog, her outfit, combined with her unique aura, made the boy feel that this girl was even cooler than the burning lynx.

“Tch, Makino Ruki…” the boy murmured the name, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

"This energy truly lives up to her title of 'coolest leading lady'."

Ruki was clearly unaware that there was another observer in the shadows; all her attention was focused on the Digimon in front of her.

The lynx, with its crimson eyes fixed solely on Ruki, had a ferocious expression and let out a threatening growl, as if it were about to devour her alive at any moment.

Facing the lynx, which was significantly larger and exuded a menacing aura, Liu Ji showed no fear whatsoever. She calmly removed her sunglasses, revealing a pair of purple eyes. Her gaze was icy, and she spoke in a flat tone: "Lynx, armored body."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruki turned slightly to the side, and behind her, a golden fox-shaped Digimon appeared—it was Renamon.

The fox-like beast stood up gracefully, its slender figure facing the lynx-like beast, assuming a fighting stance, its eyes equally cold.

[Renamon: Child Stage, Beast-Man Type, Data Species; Strength Rating: D-Rank.]

The system's prompt resurfaced in the boy's mind.

In the blink of an eye, the lynx let out a deafening roar, its limbs straining as its massive body transformed into a fiery red afterimage as it pounced forward!

Although the fox beast was prepared, it was still slammed to the ground by the overwhelming power and speed, causing the ground to tremble and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ruki merely glanced at it indifferently, seemingly unconcerned about the fox spirit's predicament, before turning her gaze away.

"Demon Fox Beast, draw a card."

A cold, clear voice rang out, without the slightest ripple.

Three cards appeared between Ruki's fingers. Her eyes narrowed, and she quickly drew one out, swiping it deftly on the D-Ark!

The movements were fluid and graceful, without a single superfluous detail.

"High-speed component B!"

The D-Ark Digivice emitted a faint light, and an invisible force instantly flowed into Renamon's body.

The fox beast, which had been suppressed, suddenly became incredibly swift. Before the lynx's claws could fall again, it transformed into a golden shadow and disappeared from the spot!

So fast that its trajectory was almost invisible!

The next moment, it appeared like a ghost in mid-air behind the lynx.

"Fox Leaf Wedge!"

With a shout, the fox beast thrust its palms forward, and countless white energy leaves, gleaming with a cold light, condensed in mid-air and shot towards the lynx beast's back like a sudden storm!

Each leaf made a sound as it pierced the air.

Boom!

A series of violent explosions rang out, and smoke and fire instantly engulfed the lynx's enormous body, with powerful shockwaves spreading outwards.

"Oh dear, fighting so intensely in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of disturbing others? Disturbing the peace is not a good thing."

"But that card-swiping motion was really cool. Oh well, I won't blame the system for not taking me to Taiyi's timeline. After all, I really like this generation of Beast Tamers."

Witnessing this battle beyond imagination, the boy's blood was boiling, and his face showed undisguised excitement.

“Then…” The boy flexed his wrist, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"I've had enough of the excitement. Now it's time for me to get down to business."

The aftershocks of the deafening roar had not yet completely subsided, and the smoke and turbulent energy were gradually dissipating.

The once ferocious lynx was now completely lifeless, its enormous body transformed into a stream of data flying everywhere under the fox beast's "Fox Leaf Wedge".

These data points drifted in the air, shimmering with a faint light, preparing to return to their origin or be absorbed by the victors.

The fox-like beast breathed slightly, its golden pupils fixed on the spoils that were about to belong to it. Just as it was about to step forward and instinctively absorb the data to strengthen itself, an untimely figure made a move.

The boy standing not far away raised his right hand high, and in his palm he held a round object that had a blank texture.

The moment the object appeared, the data that had been floating in mid-air seemed to be subjected to some kind of powerful and irresistible gravitational pull.

They suddenly changed direction, forming thin lines at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye, rushing to merge into the round object in the boy's hand.

A soft, rhythmic electronic synthesized sound seemed to fill the air.

"bass--!"

As the last bit of data was completely absorbed, the round object in the boy's hand suddenly changed.

The original blank style has disappeared, replaced by a more gorgeous dial with intricate patterns and a unique lynx head in offset pose at the center.

The boy couldn't help but smile as he looked at his creation with satisfaction.

Success! The Lynx Watch Dial, his first digital animal watch dial, was easily obtained.

Chapter 2: First Transformation

This sudden turn of events caused the fox-mon, who was about to reap the rewards of its battle, to freeze in its tracks.

Makino Ruki's cold eyes finally shifted away from the lingering effects of the battle and sharply focused on this unexpected "uninvited guest."

"Ryuhime, be careful, this person is strange," the fox spirit quickly flashed in front of Makino Ryuhime, speaking in a low and wary voice.

After defeating a Digimon, one absorbs its data; this is one of the age-old rules among Digimon.

These rules are like natural laws, extremely difficult to interfere with or violate by external forces. In other words, these "gifts" after a battle are almost impossible for a third party to easily seize.

Unless, they possess some kind of extraordinary or unusual means.

Renamon has experienced many battles, but it has never seen any Digimon possess such the ability to directly intercept data, let alone a human.

Therefore, it was highly wary of this boy who could easily change the rules.

Because of the fox spirit's serious attitude, Makino Ruki's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

She carefully re-examined the boy in front of her. He had black hair, short black hair, and his features were indeed handsome, exuding a youthful charm unique to teenagers. He looked to be a few years older than her.

But she was absolutely certain that she did not know this person at all, and had never seen him before on any occasion.

"Who are you?" Ruki's cold voice rang out, carrying an unquestionable tone.

Hearing Makino Ruki's blunt question, the boy looked at her, his smile unchanged, tinged with amusement.

The boy thought for two seconds, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

"My name is Bai Yu, and I am fifteen years old."

"I won't tell you where I live, so you won't bother me."

Upon hearing this, Makino Ruki's expression immediately changed. She looked at the boy as if he were an idiot.

“Crazy, narcissistic.” Those two words came out of her mouth without any mercy.

Bai Yu didn't take it to heart; on the contrary, she felt it was very much in line with the personality of the "Digimon Queen".

Ruki didn't dwell on this issue too much; she was more concerned about something else.

"Why are you here? Are you a beast tamer too?"

Generally speaking, the digital realm, being an unstable space that overlaps with the real world, is not a place that ordinary people can freely enter and exit, except for animal trainers like them and a few others.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's smile widened, carrying an enigmatic meaning: "If you're asking me why I'm here..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the fox spirit beside Ruki, then back to the spot where the lynx had disappeared.

"I came here to see Digimon, but more importantly, to collect data. In that respect, I want to thank you and your partner for saving me a lot of effort. As for the trainers..."

Bai Yu stroked his chin, seemingly considering his words: "I suppose I could be considered one, but I'm not exactly pure. Compared to a traditional beast tamer like you, I'm definitely different."

Bai Yu's words made Liu Ji's beautiful brows furrow even more, and a trace of displeasure inexplicably rose in her heart.

This guy talked for ages, but the useful information was pitifully scarce.

A tamer is either a tamer or not. What do you mean by "barely qualifying" or "not entirely"? Does he think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry knows about the existence of Digimon?

Aside from these animal trainers and a few others, ordinary people and young people would never have the opportunity to access this level of knowledge.

Is this guy trying to fool himself like a clueless kid?
