Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

It was huge, with thick limbs and its whole body covered in jet-black fur.

The strangest thing is that the human face of Ryuji Tamashiro is perched on the neck of this Digimon.

“You’re not mistaken, this guy really is a Digimon in disguise.” Taiichi lowered his body and whispered to Bai Yu beside him.

Just as they entered the base, Bai Yu clearly told them that the mastermind behind this was likely to disguise himself as a human. They should then follow his instructions and take action without holding back.

Bai Yu knew all too well how powerful the enemy was this time, and it would be best if they could be wiped out in one fell swoop.

But judging from the current situation, the other party does not seem to have suffered any real harm.

"You damned bugs! You're really making me angry!"

The Digimon with a human face no longer had the voice of Ryuji Tamashiro, but instead carried a chillingly evil aura.

Takehito Uehara pointed a trembling hand at the monster, his face filled with shock and realization: "President Tamashiro...you...you're a Digimon!"

Takehito Uehara sensed that something was off about Ryuji Tamashiro, but he never expected that the other person was actually a Digimon in disguise.

"No wonder the game program developed by the company contained a virus! So it was you who did all of this!"

“Hehehe…” Mavis Beast let out a low laugh.

The human head began to twist and melt, and amidst the nauseating sound of bones shattering, it finally transformed into a gigantic, ferocious ram's head, its scarlet eyes burning with pure malice.

"I originally wanted to play with you guys a little longer, but since you've seen through me, there's nothing I can do now."

Mavismon stretched its neck, producing a series of cracking sounds.

"Perfect, now that you're all dealt with, no one will be able to get in my way anymore!"

"Attention everyone!" Bai Yu's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"His name is Mephismon, a true Ultimate-level being, and he's very strong, so don't underestimate him."

The system will also clearly display the other party's data.

[Mefismon: Ultimate level, Fallen Angel type, Virus species; Strength rating: B+.]

Chapter 78: The more you know, the faster you die!

Upon hearing this, Taiyi and the others became very serious.

Although Ah Hai didn't understand, he understood what Bai Yu meant: the enemy in front of him was very powerful.

This is also the first time that Bai Yu has faced a truly complete form.

Although the Ultimate level is the highest level of Digimon evolution, Ultimate level is ultimately rare. Most Digimon can only evolve to Perfect level in the end.

The word "complete" indicates that this life form has evolved completely, and if there are no special changes in the environment, it has no need to evolve further.

A normal, fully-formed being is very powerful and can dominate a region.

Furthermore, it has an overwhelming advantage over Champion-level monsters; for example, Etemon easily defeated Greymon and Garurumon.

The best among the Ultimate-level beings can suppress several other Ultimate-level beings. Myotismon suppressing the children's Type-1 Elder is an example. If it weren't for the counter-relationship, Myotismon might not have lost based on its own strength.

That's a bit of a tangent.

In short, the Mephismon in front of us is very strong, as evidenced by the B+ rating given by the system.

Moreover, this is definitely not the full strength of Mavismon.

So from the beginning, Bai Yu took a cautious approach to this battle, calling on everyone he knew and could contact, and eventually managed to get Taiyi and the others over.

Mavis Beast stared at Bai Yu with its scarlet eyes: "You seem to know me very well? But I don't recognize who you are?"

Its ram head turned and swept over Taiyi and the others.

“It’s not just you, all of you are a bit strange.”

Bai Yu replied coldly, "It's just that you're ignorant. I don't just know you, I know you very well."

Shiraha then turned to Taichi, Koushiro, and Hikari: "Speaking of which, this guy is your enemy. He was born from the residual consciousness data of the Apocalypse Beast that you defeated back then. He can be considered a continuation of the Apocalypse Beast."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taichi, Koushiro, and Hikaru were all surprised!

"An apocalyptic beast?!" The three of them exclaimed in unison.

"How is this possible!" Taiyi was the first to find it unacceptable: "That guy... wasn't that guy completely wiped out by us? How could there still be residual data!"

Koushiro's body tensed up: "The remaining consciousness data... can actually give birth to a new Digimon, this..."

Hikari didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on Mavismon.

That name, like a long-buried nightmare, has been awakened once again.

They will never forget it.

Back then, that monster, which embodied the resentment of all the failed Digimon, brought a sense of despair and oppression that almost devoured people.

(Although I feel that the sense of oppression from Apocalypsemon is not as strong as that from Piedmon.)

Unexpectedly, the Apocalypse Beasts can be "reborn" in this way.

Since it was born from the residual consciousness data of Apocalypsemon, it can be seen as the rebirth of Apocalypsemon.

Taiyi accepted reality the fastest, and said solemnly, "Since that's the case, then we can't let you live! For the sake of this world, and for the sake of the digital world, we must completely annihilate you here!"

No one understood the dangers of the Apocalypse Beasts better than Taiichi and the others.

“Hehehe…” The Mavis Beast let out a low laugh, its huge, ferocious ram head turning towards White Feather, its scarlet eyes burning with pure malice.

"You really understand me, you little bug."

"However, there's a saying you probably don't know: the more you know, the faster you die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mavismon raised one arm, and a ball of dense black energy instantly condensed in his palm, shooting towards Bai Yu without saying a word.

Bai Yu was prepared and dodged the attack by turning her body to the side.

The black energy ball grazed past and slammed heavily into the wall behind him. There was no violent explosion, but the wall was instantly corroded, leaving a large hole emitting black smoke, as if it had been splashed with strong acid.

In the instant he dodged, Bai Yu launched a counterattack.

The "Ice Dragon Jaw Launchers" on his shoulders opened, and two deep-sea blue energy torpedoes were launched instantly.

"Ice-bound tracking torpedo!"

Two torpedoes, encased in a layer of ice, streaked through the air in two strange arcs as they hurtled toward the Mavis Beast.

Mavis simply raised her other arm dismissively and casually held it in front of her.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two torpedoes struck its arm in succession and exploded instantly.

A bone-chilling cold erupted like a tidal wave, freezing Mavis Beast's arm in the blink of an eye.

"A great opportunity!"

Seeing this, Taiyi roared and charged forward with all his might. He raised the heavy "Explosive Hammer" high in his hand, carrying a force of a thousand jun, and smashed it down hard on Mephismon.

Mavis glanced disdainfully at the ice block on her arm.

"Humph."

With a cold snort, a surge of immense dark energy erupted!

"Snap—!"

The hard, thick block of ice couldn't even last a second before shattering with a loud crack.

At this moment, Taiyi's "Exploding Wind Hammer" was already within reach.

The Mephisto's arm, which had just broken free of its restraints, moved with lightning speed, its five fingers spread wide, and it grabbed the powerful "Explosive Hammer".

"what?!"

Taiichi was shocked. He felt as if his full-force attack had struck an unshakeable mountain, and all the force had been easily neutralized.

Mavismon clenched its five fingers tightly, lifting "Blast Hammer" and Taiichi off the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Mavismon's other fist slammed mercilessly into Tai's breastplate.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, sparks flew from Taiyi's Alldramon armor, and he was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.

With a casual flick of its wrist, Mavismon used the stolen "Explosive Hammer" as a javelin and hurled it towards Bai Yu.

The heavy blast hammer, accompanied by a whooshing sound as it tore through the air, moved at an astonishing speed.

Bai Yu quickly dodged, and the Explosive Hammer slammed into the wall behind him with a loud "bang," with half of the hammer embedded in it.

"Taiyi!"

When Koushiro saw Tai being knocked away, he quickly raised his arm and shot out a web from his "web launcher" in an attempt to catch him.

The spider silk stuck precisely to Tai's back, but the impact of Tai being knocked away was too great. Not only was Koushiro unable to hold him back, but he was also pulled violently by this force and was uncontrollably carried away.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Taichi and Koushiro crashed heavily into the research base wall, one after the other, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Groothmon, hurry up and help!" Akira commanded Groothmon beside him upon seeing the situation.

Groudon roared and charged toward Mephismon with heavy steps, the blades on its arms flashing with a dangerous cold light.

"Plasma Blade!"

Two sharp energy blades crossed and slashed at the Mephisto Beast.

Mavismon easily dodged Groudon's attack with a quick movement and appeared to its side and rear.

He raised his hand and unleashed a surge of dark energy.

"Boom!"

The enormous Groudon was struck solidly by this energy, letting out a mournful howl as its massive body was sent flying, crashing through a wall before coming to a stop amidst billowing smoke and dust.

"Groothmon!" Upon seeing this, Keito immediately ran over anxiously to check on Groothmon's condition.

At that very moment, a figure wielding twin blades suddenly burst forth from the ground behind Mephisto.

Ah Hai activated his "mud and sand stealth" ability in an attempt to launch a sneak attack.

However, with Mephisto's strength, how could it not notice?

Without even turning around, as if it had eyes in the back of its head, Mavis Beast unleashed a powerful punch with terrifying force, aiming at Ahai, who had just emerged from the ground.

At this critical moment, a chain wrapped in cold air shot out and, with a "whoosh," precisely bound the arm of the Mavis Beast as it threw a punch, preventing its fist from advancing even an inch further.

It was the "Frost Chain Binding" that the white feather shot out from the "Frost Chain Poison Diver" on its breastplate, condensed from cold air.

Seeing this, Ah Hai didn't hesitate at all. He pressed the dial on his waist without hesitation and turned the drive sharply.

"The End Time!"

"Assassination Shock - Cross Slash!"

Ah Hai crossed his twin blades and slashed out with all his might, instantly forming an X-shaped energy strike that landed squarely on the Mephisto Beast.

The Mavis Beast was knocked backward and slid several meters before coming to a stop, its feet carving two deep furrows in the hard metal ground.

"Is that all?" Mavis Beast's crimson eyes were filled with disdain and mockery.

"It's not even enough to scratch my itch."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mavis Beast raised the arm that was not bound by chains, its five fingers joined together, covered with a layer of visible dark energy.

Then, it slashed at the X-shaped energy on its body and threw a punch.

"boom--!"

The X-shaped energy strike was shattered.

Ah Hai was completely stunned.

He hadn't expected that his signature move, which had previously brought him so many victories, wouldn't even break through the opponent's defense this time.

With a sudden burst of strength, the "Frost Chains" wrapped around the beast straightened instantly, and a tremendous pulling force yanked Bai Yu away.

The moment he was pulled over, Bai Yu showed no panic whatsoever.
