Knights of the Digital World

While Chaosdramon was still talking, Gallantmon had already raised its gun and launched another charge.

Alongside the charge came the friendly presence of Crimson Knightmon:

"What the hell are you talking about?! If you can fight, then stop talking! Take this Royal Spear!"

Chapter 40, The Final Battle (Part 3)

"You've honed your swordsmanship. Compared to your crude technique last time, this time your swordsmanship is quite presentable!"

Slashmon and ShineGreymon clashed solely on swordsmanship. Unsurprisingly, ShineGreymon was at a disadvantage. However, Slashmon didn't hold back his praise for ShineGreymon.

"Ha, still no match for you!" ShineGreymon cleaved through Slashmon with a powerful sword strike, retreating a distance as energy began to build up within its body. "Let me show you my power again! Light Blast!"

ShinyGreymon's pair of fiery wings spread to their maximum, absorbing the surrounding light energy and darkening the sky for a moment. Then, all the light energy it absorbed turned into a thin beam of light and shot towards Slashmon.

"Oh, not bad, even stronger than last time. But, as I said, my power surpasses yours! Cross Slash!"

With a roar, the Slashmon swung its demonic sword in its left hand, unleashing a cross-shaped energy wave that met the beam of light emitted by ShineGreymon. After a brief stalemate, the cross-shaped energy wave sliced ​​the beam of light into four pieces, and the combined force left a shallow cross-shaped wound on ShineGreymon's body.

ShineGreymon glanced down at its wounds, its fighting spirit blazing even brighter: "The wounds are shallower than last time! Slashmon, you can't defeat me with such feeble attacks! This time, I will win!"

"Hahahaha!" The Slayer Beast threw its head back and laughed wildly. "How arrogant! But I love this kind of arrogance! What can someone who lacks confidence achieve?! Come on, show me how you will win!"

"Of course! Corona Blazing Sword!"

ShinyGreymon responded loudly, its fiery wings flapping behind it, and once again grabbed the EarthGreymon Sword and charged towards Slashmon.

The Beast Slayer continued its maniacal laughter, its right hand holding the demonic blade high, energy gathering within it:

"Hahaha! Well done! Let's attack the prison gates first!"

…………

"This position is about right. So, do you want to come up together, or one at a time?"

The Momo Beast stopped in a field, its indifferent gaze sweeping over the Skull Beast, Armored Dragon Beast, and Stubborn Beast that had followed it.

"Your opponent is me." Skull Beast nodded to its two comrades, and the other two Royal Knights stepped back in understanding. "I am a Royal Knight, Skull Beast! I will fight you one-on-one!"

"Skullmon, I've heard of you. The most courteous Digimon among the Royal Knights, you prefer to defeat your enemies in one-on-one duels." Momomon gazed at Skullmon and announced its information. "Then I'll follow your etiquette. I am Momomon, the leader of the three generals of the Barbamon Army! Are you ready for this? Necromancer—Interrogation!"

With a grab of his right hand, Momo Beast summoned a deadly sphere infused with dark energy, which he then flung toward Skull Beast.

"God's protection!"

The skull beast was not careless. It accessed the data in its own armor, generated the magic shield "Avalon", and activated its absolute defense that could nullify all attacks for three seconds.

Upon seeing this, the Mao Mo beast immediately began to accumulate energy, and four or five small dots appeared on its claws, gradually expanding.

"Don't underestimate me! I'll end the waltz!"

The Skull Beast retracted its magic shield, gripped the magic spear "Klausolas" with both hands, raised it high above its head and spun it at high speed, releasing a supersonic shockwave that shot towards the Momo Beast.

In addition to its own damage, this supersonic shockwave also has the magical effect of making those hit dance, making it a signature move of the Skull Beast.

With a muffled groan, the Mao Mo Beast interrupted its gathering of power, and pushed forward with both hands. Four or five energy balls, each only a third the size of a normal energy ball, met the supersonic shockwave and exploded, filling the entire area with white smoke.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Momo Beast flapped its bat wings and quickly approached the Skull Beast. Its claws, covered in dark energy, reached out to grab the Skull Beast's chest.

Seeing this, the Skull Beast swung its arms forward, and the spinning magic spear blocked the Momo Beast's path. The supersonic shockwave also hit the Momo Beast.

However, despite the shockwave's damage and its desire to dance, the Momo beast gripped the magic spear's shaft firmly with its claws, forcefully stopping the spear's high-speed rotation.

Seeing the astonishment on the skull-like beast's appearance, which resembled that of a virus species, the Momo Beast grinned, spewing out karmic fire that could cause eternal suffering even after death:

"Hellfire!"

…………

"Ouch! Crimson Knightmon! You ambushed me again! You have no sportsmanship!"

Crimson Knightmon's renewed charge caught Chaosdramon off guard. One moment he was boasting triumphantly, the next the tip of the Holy Lance "Gram" had already pierced his chest, sending him flying.

The red Digivice on Chaosdramon was supposed to be a super metal that could deflect any attack. However, under Gram's spear tip, the red Digivice only resisted for a short while before being pierced through.

Fortunately, Chaosdramon lost its footing this time and was knocked away. Although Gram pierced through the red Digizoid, it didn't cause Chaosdramon much damage, allowing it to continue shouting.

Crimson Knightmon snorted, ignoring Chaosdramon's howl. He flicked his cloak, raising the holy shield "Aegis" before him. Energy began to gather on the shield, and small triangles started to light up:

"Pure Land of Bliss!"

"Don't look down on me!" Chaos Dragon Beast finally erupted in anger when it saw Crimson Knight Beast openly accumulating energy, acting as if it didn't take him seriously.

He roared, crouched down, and pointed the two cannons on his back at Crimson Knightmon. White light gradually emanated from the muzzles of the cannons as he also gathered his power.

"Super Infinite Cannon!"

…………

"They're back again..."

At this time, the members of the "Barbamon Extermination Team" had also returned to their familiar surroundings.

Apart from Emu, all the members of the extermination team were Royal Knights. And the location Barbamon was currently occupying was originally their stronghold!

"The thought of Barbamon being here makes me sick. Lordmon, what about you?"

Lord Knight Beast covered its mouth, looking quite disgusted.

"Me too!"

The monarch beast's eyes burned with rage, and it replied briefly.

"Alright, everyone feels the same way. Prepare for battle! Fragrant Beast, from now on you will be responsible for protecting Lord Norren and the commander. We need to subdue Barbamon as soon as possible so that Lord Norren can transfer his divine consciousness, understand?"

Omegamon said, and the others nodded in agreement. Aromon also took two steps back and came to Noren's side.

Omegamon nodded, said nothing more, and silently mobilized its own energy to make them more active.

Before long, they arrived at an empty room, which was completely deserted except for a large cylindrical platform in the very center, on which sat a throne, upon which Barba sat.

As Barbamon watched the people enter the room, it slowly stood up, opened its arms, and smiled.

"Omegamon, you've finally arrived!"

Chapter 41, The Final Battle (Part 4)

Barbamon stood on the high platform, looking down at the members of the subjugation team. Its aura began to rise, having already broken through the level of the top-level Ultimate level, and was advancing towards an even higher level.

Having experienced that level of power before, Emu knew that Barbamon had now reached the level of Super Ultimate!

“I have been waiting for you for a long time. I should have destroyed you in the last battle. However, the will of Yggdrasil has been restraining my actions, which is why you escaped.”

Barbamon closed its eyes, feeling the unprecedented power flowing through its body, and said:

"And after that, whatever I wanted to do, Yggdrasil always hindered me. I couldn't even track you down, and several members of the Twelve Gods escaped..."

However, even Yggdrasil has its limits. Now, His will can no longer restrain me! I have seized His power. I am now the God of the Digital World!

And you, the Royal Knights, have delivered yourself to my doorstep. What a joyous occasion! I'll deal with you here, then wipe out the rebels outside. I will unify the Digital World! Then, I will invade the Human World. I will become the true god of both worlds!

"Wishful thinking! Garuru Cannon!"

Omegamon let out a low growl, raised its right hand (which resembled MetalGarurumon), and fired an Absolute Zero Cold Air Blast at Barbamon.

Barbamon might be eager to confide in his enemies and show off his achievements, but the Royal Knights had no interest in wasting time talking to Barbamon.

"Lord Norren, could it be...?"

The aromatic beast crouched down and asked Noren.

Barbamon said that the will of the World Tree could no longer suppress him, which made Aromon somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, Yggdrasil's consciousness hasn't dissipated yet. Give me some time, and I'll replicate him..."

Norren closed his eyes, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a faint light emanated from his body as he began...

To replicate the will of the World Tree.

Relieved, Fragrantmon stood up and looked over. Barbamon had casually unleashed a burst of energy that shattered Omegamon's attack.

"Hmph, how rude! However, as a god, I naturally possess divine magnanimity. I will show mercy once more and give you a chance. Submit to me, and I may spare your lives!"

Omegamon ignored Barbamon's words, flicked its left hand, and the Greyhound Sword extended, pointing directly at Barbamon, and commanded:

"Royal Knights—Attack!"

…………

"Final—Flash Explosion!"

ShinyGreymon emitted a blinding white light, and astonishing energy erupted from its body, engulfing Slashmon.

However, this time the Zanpakuto was prepared. When ShineGreymon's energy burst out, it retreated frantically, holding its huge Zanpakuto, Ryuzanmaru, in front of it, cleaving through the energy wave that was coming towards it.

"We still lost..."

After unleashing its ultimate attack, ShineGreymon knelt on the ground, its fiery wings gradually extinguishing, the flames on its body dissipating, and it reverted to its normal form.

"Excellent, I have seen your conviction. It was a good battle! I am very satisfied."

With a few casual slashes, Zhanfa Beast dispersed the white steam caused by the energy explosion, leaving behind the scars left by the Earth Tyrannosaurus Sword on his body.

ShineGreymon has indeed made great progress. Even though its strongest attack was dodged by Slashmon, it still managed to leave many wounds on Slashmon in the previous battle, which weakened Slashmon considerably.

However, his injuries couldn't dampen Zhanlumon's burning fighting spirit. After praising ShineGreymon a couple of times, he turned his gaze to BanchoMamemon and BanchoLeomon, who were watching from the sidelines, grinned, and said excitedly:

"Well then, it's time for our battle! BanchoLeomon, come on, let's continue the battle we started last time!"

"I'm actually getting the better end of the deal here. After all, you've already been injured by ShineGreymon... But never mind, now's not the time to fuss over that."

BanchoLeomon chewed on the twig in its mouth, walked slowly forward, and sighed:

"Don't blame me for being unethical. The Barbamon Legion must be annihilated today. As one of the three generals, you should have been attacked by me and Bancho Beanmon together to ensure success. However, I acknowledge your martial spirit, so I will respect you. Bancho Beanmon will not make a move until I am defeated."

"Hahaha, whatever! I'm standing here of my own volition. So what if I'm injured? As long as you let me enjoy a thoroughly satisfying battle!"

Zhanfa Beast didn't seem to care much about the issue and casually waved his hand.

BanchoLeomon sighed again: "I quite like your personality. It's a pity we're enemies now, otherwise I would definitely have a good drink with you. Now, watch out, I'll unleash all my power. This is my way of showing you respect!"

As BanchoLeomon spoke, his energy surged and burned, his white hair turning golden. From a distance, BanchoLeomon had transformed into a burning humanoid fireball—

BanchoLeomon Burst Mode!

…………

"Skull Beast, are you alright?"
