Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

The dim light from the streetlights shone weakly through the broken window, casting dappled shadows on the girl's face.

Yukio Oikawa looked down at Hikaru from his high vantage point, his eyes, hidden in the shadows, swirling with an uncontrollable resentment and hatred.

That's the face!

Hikaru Yagami! The chosen child, the owner of the Crest of Light!

It was because of this brat and her so-called partners that my painstaking plan failed!

That unforgettable failure still lingers like a poisonous thorn deep in his heart, causing sharp pain with every breath.

"If it weren't for you, brat, I wouldn't have failed! If you weren't still useful, I really would... kill you right now!"

Yukio Oikawa squeezed out the words through his teeth, his voice hoarse and low, filled with suppressed anger.

He reached out, his fingers stopping a few centimeters from Xiaoguang's fair neck.

His chest heaved violently a few times, but he eventually clenched his fist slowly and then pulled it back.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, forcibly suppressing the surging murderous intent and anger deep within his heart.

It's not the right time yet.

She still has a use.

Yukio Oikawa's expression returned to its somber calm. He then squatted down, extended his right palm, and aimed it at Hikaru.

A dark energy slowly emanated from his palm. It was not pure black, but a deep purple mixed with despair and resentment, as if countless tormented souls were struggling and wailing within it.

This energy, like an invisible venomous snake, silently burrowed into Xiao Guang's body.

At first, Xiao Guang's body did not react at all.

But as Yukio Oikawa continued to inject energy, the mutation finally occurred.

A faint, extremely dim, dark glow seeped from beneath Xiao Guang's skin, like a thin veil of black gauze, almost imperceptible.

This aura shares the same origin as the dark energy released by Yukio Oikawa, yet it is even more ancient and profound.

“Heh heh…” A low laugh escaped Oikawa Yukio’s throat, full of mockery and sarcasm.

"The possessor of light, yet harboring such a dark energy within, is utterly laughable... Are you light or darkness?"

As he finished speaking, the faint, dark light emanating from Xiao Guang's body seemed to be drawn towards the air in front of her.

The space began to distort and tremble, as if an invisible hand was tearing apart the canvas of the real world.

A black dot appeared out of thin air and rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It had no dazzling light effects or loud noises; it simply expanded silently, forming a black vortex about half a meter in diameter.

The edges of the vortex were blurred, while the inside was a bottomless, pure darkness, as if it could devour all light and hope.

Yukio Oikawa stared at the black vortex, and through that distorted darkness, he saw a vast, boundless ocean.

A vast, pitch-black, deathly still ocean.

The sky was gray and gloomy, without stars or moon, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

A chilling, despairing, and lonely atmosphere swept in from the vortex, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.

“The Dark Sea…” Yukio Oikawa murmured softly, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Just then, a ripple appeared on the still, black sea.

A huge, blurry black shadow slowly rose from the sea, its outline distorted and grotesque, bringing a tremendous sense of oppression from the depths of the soul.

Immediately afterwards, a low, hoarse voice, as if coming from the deepest abyss, echoed through the black vortex and resounded eerily in the abandoned, dilapidated building.

Why are you looking for me again?

This was not the first time Oikawa Yukio had heard this voice, nor was it the first time he had spoken to this dark figure.

Yukio Oikawa said, "Of course, I have another business to discuss with you."

The voice paused for a moment, then replied in a flat tone, "It was already agreed last time that you shouldn't have come to me for the deal."

Upon hearing this, Yukio Oikawa revealed a mocking expression.

How could he not know who to trade with?

How could he not know that the Arakne beast was traded to him?

But that connection was one-sided; he could only passively wait for the other party to contact him and was unable to initiate communication proactively.

The only one he could actively contact was this one from the Dark Sea.

As for how to contact them...

Yukio Oikawa's gaze fell on Hikaru Yagami, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

This is not the first time he has done this.

Initially, he simply wanted to seek revenge on the owner of the badge of light.

But during his secret observations and probing, he accidentally discovered that the girl possessed a completely different, yet incredibly profound, dark power.

This discovery greatly surprised him at the time.

The owner of the Emblem of Light harbors such pure darkness within him.

This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

It was during his attempt to contact and invoke that dark power that he unexpectedly established a connection with this being of the Dark Sea.

Through this, he was able to form an alliance with another Digimon and obtain Arachnemon as a pawn.

Now that the chess piece is gone, he can only return to the starting point.

Yukio Oikawa snapped out of his reverie and spoke to the distorted darkness: "For this deal, I only want to find you, and I believe you won't refuse me."

The massive black shadow at the other end of the black vortex remained silent for two seconds.

Not a ripple appeared on that desolate ocean.

"...Tell me about it."

Finally, the voice rang out again, with a subtle, almost imperceptible fluctuation.

Yukio Oikawa knew he had persuaded the other party.

“I know what you want.” Yukio Oikawa’s voice was low, as if he were sharing an enticing secret.

“I had suggested a candidate before, but you didn’t accept it.”

“But I can assure you now that I can turn that child completely to darkness.”

"At that time, you will have a human child who belongs entirely to darkness and who possesses a badge."

The massive shadowy figure fell into a long silence after Oikawa Yukio finished speaking.

After a long while, the voice that seemed to come from the deepest abyss of ten thousand years finally rang out again. This time, the monotonous tone seemed to have lessened by half.

What do you want this time?

A smug smile appeared on Yukio Oikawa's face as he held up two fingers and gestured in front of him.

"Give me two Digimon as my subordinates."

"One of them must be an Arakne beast."

Yukio Oikawa was quite satisfied with the Arachne Beast.

In particular, the ability to perfectly disguise oneself as a human makes it incredibly convenient to move around in the human world.

So even if that one is gone, he still needs to get another one.

After saying this, Yukio Oikawa changed the subject and proposed an even more demanding condition: "And this time, you have to give me the 'goods' first."

The voices on the other side of the vortex fell silent again.

A moment later, the question came through: "What if you're trying to lie to me?"

Upon hearing this question, Yukio Oikawa seemed to have heard a joke. He shrugged nonchalantly, his tone revealing a carefree attitude of "what's the use of trying?"

"If I really do that, you can take your revenge on me however you want."

Silence fell once again in the abandoned building.

The enormous black shadow on the dark sea seemed to be weighing the risks and rewards of this deal.

After a long pause, the deep, hoarse voice made the final decision.

"Okay, I'll deliver the goods to you in two days."

The moment the words left his mouth, the enormous black shadow that had been hovering over the sea surface sank rapidly into the dark waters and disappeared without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Yukio Oikawa immediately stopped the transmission of dark energy.

Without the pull of external energy, the profound dark power that had been drawn out within Xiao Guang's body quickly returned to silence, as if it had never existed.

Her body surface features are delicate and beautiful, with a delicate and refined appearance.

The twisted black vortex in mid-air also lost its energy support, rapidly contracting within two seconds before completely closing and disappearing.

The oppressive, chilling atmosphere around them also vanished.

The deal was done, and Yukio Oikawa looked down at the girl who was still unconscious on the ground.

The resentment and hatred in his eyes resurfaced, undisguised.

"I really want to kill you right now... but not yet." He muttered to himself, his voice filled with resentment.

At that moment, a sudden sound rang out.

"Since you're not going to kill this brat, how about lending her to me for a while?"

"Anyway, I see you've used it all up for now."

Oikawa Yukio's muscles tensed instantly. He whirled around and roared in the direction of the voice, "Who is it? Show yourself!"

Before he finished speaking, a figure leaped down from the shadows of the upper floor and landed not far from Yukio Oikawa.

The figure was not tall, probably only about 1.4 meters, and appeared particularly short in the dim light.

Yukio Oikawa narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the uninvited guest intently, his brows furrowing deeply.

"A doll?"

What appeared before him was something that looked like a marionette, with slender limbs and obvious spherical structures at the joints, and it didn't have much of a living presence.

The next second, without any hesitation, Yukio Oikawa pushed his right hand forward sharply!

A dense black shockwave shot out, tearing through the air and heading straight for the doll!

Faced with this sudden attack, the doll raised its hands and crossed them in front of it.

"Oh!"

The black energy slammed solidly into the doll's arms, but only caused it to slide backward less than half a meter before being completely blocked.

"Don't be so angry, I'm not here to fight you." The doll lowered its arms, its voice carrying a hint of amusement.

As soon as the words were spoken, the doll-like shape began to twist and change.

Its limbs were covered with fur, a long tail grew from its back, and its face was elongated and deformed, eventually transforming into a Digimon that looked like a monkey.

Upon seeing the Digimon, Yukio Oikawa's pupils contracted slightly.

"A spirit monkey beast?!" he blurted out, his face full of surprise.

This guy is actually one of the Twelve Divine Generals!

How many lackeys did the Four Holy Beasts send to the human world? What exactly are they planning to do?

The Monkey Beast didn't seem surprised that Yukio Oikawa could call him by his name so easily.

It made an exaggerated bowing motion: "As expected of someone who can connect with the Dark Sea, you recognized me immediately."

Its facial expression was stiff, but its body movements were full of emotion, as if it was expressing its "happiness" through body language.

Chapter 119: By order of the constant rule, there is a message I need to tell you.

Yukio Oikawa frowned, staring intently at the monkey beast, and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Upon hearing this, the monkey beast remained expressionless, simply spreading its arms wide in a gesture that seemed to say, "Is there even a question?"
