Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

"careful!"

Bai Yu let out a low shout and instantly moved to the side, blocking Qi Ren's path. He raised his left arm, covered in magnificent armor, and caught the jet-black light.

"boom!"

A dull thud resounded.

A cold, malevolent energy traveled up his arm, but it was quickly purified and dissolved by the light flowing through the armor.

"Wow!"

Qi Ren was startled by this sudden turn of events. Looking at the white feather blocking his way, he belatedly felt a pang of fear.

Just as Bai Yu blocked the attack, the black crystal seized the opportunity.

Without pausing, it transformed into a streak of black lightning, swiftly disappearing into the distance and distancing itself from Bai Yu.

Even at its fastest speed, the black crystal couldn't escape Bai Yu's sight.

Bai Yu clearly saw that the black crystal pierced straight into a rusty high-rise building in the distance.

Just as Bai Yu was about to give chase, another mutation occurred.

Those pure data points that were drifting across the sky and were gradually disappearing seemed to be drawn by some invisible force in an instant.

In an instant, billions of points of light converged into a data river, vast and flowing endlessly, its destination being the tall building that the black crystal had entered!

Upon seeing this, both Bai Yu and Jessmon, who was in cyberspace, instantly realized that something was wrong.

Qi Ren stared blankly at the magnificent yet eerie scene, and couldn't help but ask Bai Yu, "Brother Bai Yu, what's going on? Does this mean the battle is going to continue?"

Bai Yu didn't want to answer the little crybaby's question, because his guess was correct.

At this moment, Ruki, Kenra, Koushiro, Hikaru, Kai, Minami, and Uehara Takehito carrying the unconscious Taichi, along with the Digimon, all rushed to Shiraha's side.

Jianliang said to Baiyu with a solemn expression, "Baiyu, this space has stabilized again."

As he said, the alien space that was just about to fall apart has now returned to stability.

The sky no longer flashes, the wreckage no longer crumbles, and the earth no longer cracks.

Everything points to a bloody and ruthless conspiracy.

Bai Yu gazed at the long river that was still frantically pouring in data and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Mavismon really is not dead yet."

Before the words could even be spoken, a tremendous and earth-shattering change occurred at the location of the distant high-rise building.

Boom!

A surge of pure, dark energy transformed into a thick pillar of light that shot into the sky, its power far surpassing that of the previous Mavis Beast.

The beam of light stirred the entire alternate dimension, causing the already stable underwater city to tremble violently once again.

Immediately afterwards, a Digimon of indescribable size broke through the skyscraper—no, it should be said that it directly cracked the ground beneath its feet—and slowly stood up.

When the Digimon's form was fully revealed, everyone was overwhelmed by the oppressive feeling that came over them.

Its body is as majestic as a mountain, and those rusty skyscrapers look tiny in front of it.

With each movement of its powerful limbs, it caused the street beneath its feet to crack open, creating bottomless ravines.

What's most terrifying is its enormous mouth attached to its lower body.

The mouth was enormous; rather than a mouth, it was more like a black hole leading to an endless abyss. Just by being open, it seemed to be about to swallow the entire world.

"So...so big..." Qi Ren said, trembling.

Bai Yu stared at the enormous magical beast and uttered the cruel reality word by word: "It has evolved into its ultimate form."

Ultimate form!

These three words seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, crashing heavily into everyone's hearts.

Koushiro, Hikaru, Ruki, Kenra, and Keito—those who knew what "Ultimate Form" meant—turned deathly pale.

Koushiro was the first to recover from his shock, and looking at Shiraha, he asked urgently, "Shiraha! How much of a chance do you have left?"

What are the chances of winning?

Bai Yu's gaze remained fixed on the enormous creature, and the system dutifully provided the information about it.

[Abyss Beast: Ultimate Level, Demonic Beast Type, Virus Species; Strength Rating: S Rank.]

S-class.

Having just merged the power of the three badges of courage, knowledge, and light, he has raised his strength to A-rank.

As a result, the other party skipped a whole level in the blink of an eye and was promoted to S level.

This is a level of strength even stronger than that of a typical Ultimate level being; it is among the best of the Ultimate level beings.

Bai Yu estimated that Jessmon's strength in cyberspace should also be rated as S-class.

This is faster than a rocket! Who is the one cheating?

The Abyss Beast lowered its indescribably enormous head, letting out a triumphant and twisted laugh: "Hahahaha! Kid, you didn't expect this, did you! I'm not dead! Not only am I not dead, I've evolved!"

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank you! If you hadn't completely decomposed my data, I wouldn't have had the chance to reassemble all the data, let alone break through the barrier and successfully evolve into the ultimate form!"

The Abyss Beast's maniacal laughter grew increasingly rampant, unleashing substantial energy fluctuations that shattered the already crumbling buildings nearby into dust.

"As a thank you gift, I'll let you experience my current strength!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the enormous mouth of the Abyss Beast's lower body let out an incredibly sharp roar!

"ah--!"

That wasn't just a sound; it was a terrifying sonic wave that directly attacked the core of the data.

"Ahhh!"

Qi Ren was the first to be unable to bear it, painfully covering his ears and letting out a scream.

Koushiro, Ruki, Kenryo, and even the unconscious Taiichi all trembled violently because of this piercing sound wave.

Groudon, Ninetales, and Gargomon howled in pain at the shriek, their bodies flickering uncontrollably. Within seconds, they all reverted to their adult forms as Guilmon, Renamon, and Terriermon, floating weakly in place.

And then there's Ahai. The [Anomalocaris Armor Form] covering him flashed wildly a few times before being forcibly deactivated amidst a data glitch. He himself collapsed to his knees in agony, covering his ears with both hands.

Bai Yu also felt a strong sense of discomfort, as if countless needles were pricking his brain.

But seeing his companions slumped around him, Bai Yu forced himself to suppress the discomfort and suddenly braced himself with his arms to the sides.

Om-!

A pinkish-white light burst forth from Bai Yu's body, forming a semi-transparent shield that enveloped Qi Ren and everyone else, instantly blocking out the shrill sound that could tear data apart.

Upon seeing this, the Abyss Beast swung its massive, mountain-like arm, unleashing a huge wave of dark energy towards Bai Yu and the others.

Boom!

The powerful wave of dark energy slammed solidly into the shield.

"Crack!"

At the very moment of contact, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the shield formed by the power of light.

Seeing this, Bai Yu immediately increased his energy output at any cost to keep the shield from being shattered.

However, the dark energy wave pushed against the entire shield, along with the white-feathered creatures inside, and the enormous table tennis ball shoved them backward violently!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One rusty skyscraper after another was easily smashed and shattered.

Ultimately, the "ball" was slammed hard onto the ground, triggering a massive explosion.

A mushroom cloud shot into the sky, causing the entire underwater city to tremble violently.

After a long time, the smoke and dust from the explosion slowly dissipated.

A huge crater suddenly appeared on the ground.

At the very center of the giant pit, the protective shield of light had shattered into pieces, with only a few remnants of light still flickering.

Bai Yu knelt in the ruins, his silver armor now somewhat faded, making him look rather disheveled.

Although Keito, Koushiro, and the others were protected and not seriously injured, they were all covered in dust and still shaken.

Jianliang held the nearly unconscious Big-Eared Beast in his arms. This usually most composed young man was now completely at a loss. Looking at Bai Yu's back, his voice trembled slightly: "Bai Yu, now... what should we do now?"

Everyone else also turned their hopeful gazes toward Bai Yu.

Bai Yu raised his head to look at the sky, and the next second, a huge shadow loomed over the giant pit.

The enormous body of the Abyss Beast had already flown directly above them.

Is Jesmon still not planning to make a move?

Since that's the case...

Then we'll have to use our last trump card!

Bai Yu suddenly grabbed the bewildered, trembling, and frightened Gu Le Beast and pulled it to his side.

Chapter 84: [Digital Knight: Ultimate Ascension Evolution]

The ancient beast was suddenly pulled in front of Bai Yu, its big, watery eyes filled with confusion and fear, not understanding what Bai Yu was going to do.

"Gu Le Beast, now we can only rely on you." Bai Yu's voice was urgent, but he deliberately kept it calm so as not to frighten the little guy in his arms.

"I need you, lend me your energy."

The Ancient Music Beast blinked. It could understand Bai Yu's words, but it didn't know what to do.

"Guramon is willing to lend you its energy, but Guramon doesn't know how to do it? Gururu." Guramon responded softly, its two ears drooping listlessly.

Bai Yu knew that the Evolutionary Light within Gu Le Beast's body existed as a passive ability; Gu Le Beast itself had never used it actively, and didn't even understand what it was.

Bai Yu lifted it to eye level and said, "Don't be afraid, listen to me. Don't think about anything. Just feel your body and imagine moving everything inside your body into that triangle on your forehead."

Following Bai Yu's guidance, the Ancient Music Beast nodded as if it understood but not quite.

"I'll give it a try, gulp."

Gu Le closed his eyes, his two little hands tightly hugging his head, his small body straining with all his might.

one second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds passed.

A deathly silence fell over the surroundings; everyone seemed to hold their breath as they stared intently at the Ancient Beast.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared on the inverted triangle symbol on the forehead of the Ancient Music Beast.

Then, the light grew brighter and brighter, radiating a warm and sacred aura.

Right now!

Without any hesitation, Bai Yu immediately mobilized the energy within himself.

【Digital Knight - Superior Evolution】This armor already incorporates the evolutionary light of Ancient Beast. Now, under Bai Yu's active manipulation, it instantly resonates strongly with the light bursting from Ancient Beast's forehead.

Om-!

A pure beam of evolutionary energy shot out from the inverted triangle on the forehead of the Ancient Beast, precisely connecting to the core of the [Evolution Belt] at Bai Yu's waist.

Bai Yu felt as if his entire being had been ignited.

An energy far more powerful and pure than when he fused the three emblems before surged into his body like a torrent bursting its banks.

On the silver-white armor, the orange, purple, and pink-white patterns suddenly shone brightly, turning the previously dull armor into a radiant and dazzling piece, even more brilliant than before!

In the cyberspace, Jessemon, who had been silently observing the battle, showed a flicker of emotion in his majestic voice upon witnessing this scene: "The lost light of evolution...?"

Above the giant crater, the enormous abyss beast, as large as a mountain, saw the pillar of light connecting the white feather and the ancient music beast. The arrogance and mockery on its face vanished instantly, replaced by shock and anger!

"You brat! I won't give you another chance! Die!"

However, just as the Abyss Beast was about to launch its attack, a majestic and ethereal voice clearly reached its ears.

"Abyss Beast, it's me who won't give you another chance."

"Take this!"
