Knights of the Digital World

The Ultimate Kabuterimon had its proud horn broken off, and it lay on the ground, its body shimmering, on the verge of degeneration.

Vikemon was much more decisive. Its massive size and relatively slow speed meant it was immediately caught in Mugendramon's barrage and blasted back into Bugamon. Even so, it was badly injured and almost reverted to its Digi-Egg form.

Phoenixmon and Lotusmon were in relatively good condition. Phoenixmon carried Lotusmon on its back and flew high in the sky, dodging the attacks of InfiniteDragonmon. Lotusmon was working hard to heal Phoenixmon's injuries and restore its strength, making it easier for Phoenixmon to dodge.

However, judging from the tireless appearance of the Infinite Dragon Beasts, their defeat seemed to be only a matter of time.

Chapter 46 WarBeast Action Player

Infinite Dragon Beast was very patient. He did not get angry or impatient because of Phoenix Beast's dodging. Instead, he always used his electronic eyes to lock onto Phoenix Beast's position and used his super computing power to block Phoenix Beast's position and reduce her dodging space.

Thanks to Lotusmon, Phoenixmon can sometimes choose to withstand Mugendramon's bombardment, buying herself more room to maneuver. Lotusmon heals her injuries.

However, as time passed, Phoenixmon and Lotusmon's energy and stamina steadily declined, making it increasingly difficult for them to dodge. Many attacks, which they knew were intended by InfiniteDragonmon to restrict their movement, were no longer worth their time.

They can't afford to keep going like this.

The Infinite Dragon Beast maintained its initial posture, its face devoid of any smugness, only icy indifference. Its electronic eyes followed the Phoenix Beast's constant rotation, while the two cannons on its back fired in a rhythmic pattern, ensuring the barrels didn't overheat or the firepower was too sparse.

This calm and detached demeanor only increased the psychological pressure on the Phoenix Beasts, causing their already rapidly declining energy, stamina, and mental strength to be consumed even more violently.

Just when Phoenixmon thought it couldn't hold on any longer, Mugendramon suddenly stopped firing, and the electronic eyes that had been chasing Phoenixmon around changed direction, looking in the direction Phoenixmon and the others had come from:

"A high-energy individual has been detected approaching at an extremely rapid pace. Energy level: Ultimate, Quantity: 1, Danger level: High! This individual already possesses the ability to kill the host. Immediate elimination is recommended!"

After making its judgment, the Infinite Dragon Beast remained silent for a moment before speaking again:

"The operation plan has been changed. The current operation plan is Plan Three, with the objective of eliminating high-risk individuals. This plan has the highest priority among all current operation plans and will be executed first."

"Immediately implement Operation Plan No. 3."

"Annihilation, begin!"

The Infinite Dragon Beast's electronic eyes glowed bright red. It completely ignored Phoenix Beast and Lotus Beast, kicked White Tiger Beast aside, adjusted its attack angle, and pointed the two cannons on its back at the direction where a high-energy reaction had been detected, gathering energy:

"Infinite Cannon!"

"Phoenix Beast, it seems like InfiniteDragon Beast has abandoned us?"

"It seems he mentioned detecting a high-energy reaction earlier? Is another Ultimate-level being coming to provide support? But, could that direction be WarGreymon?!"

"How could that be?! Doesn't Agumon need to rest and can't fight?"

"Perhaps he was worried about us because we were so useless, which is why he disregarded his own health."

Ignored by the Infinite Dragon Beast, the Phoenix Beast and Lotus Beast got a chance to catch their breath and quickly flew to the side, exchanging whispers before falling into silence.

"We have to do something! Phoenix Beast, take me down here, I need to heal Ahe and the others. Whoever comes, we can't let him fight alone!"

"I understand, Lotus Beast. Although we no longer have the strength to fight, we can still do other things within our power!"

Phoenixmon and Lotusmon quickly reached an agreement. Phoenixmon then moved Yamato, Gabumon, UltraKabuterimon, Bugamon, and White Tigermon to a distance, while Lotusmon stood among them, using its remaining energy to heal their injuries.

After carrying everyone away, the phoenix beast felt deeply exhausted and landed beside them.

Thankfully, Mugendramon was completely focused on the approaching Digimon and didn't pay any attention to their little tricks. Otherwise, Phoenixmon really wouldn't have had the strength to dodge Mugendramon's attack.

At that time, the entire army would have been wiped out.

Although it's not much different from a complete annihilation now.

Phoenix Beast lay on the ground, forcing its eyes open to look in the direction Infinite Dragon Beast was aiming.

Is the upcoming Ultimate form you? WarGreymon? Or some other Digimon?

Whoever it is, it's up to you now.

You absolutely mustn't lose!

"This is such a warm welcome, but unfortunately I don't really like it."

Facing the overwhelming energy wave shot head-on by the Infinite Dragon Beast, Emu, who had just arrived, shrugged and stretched out his hands, adorned with sharp claws, to grab the energy wave fiercely.

A cold glint flashed across the surface of Emu's claws, and the power of the Infinite Cannon seemed to have diminished by more than half before being torn apart by Emu's claws.

"As expected of the Dragon Beast Nemesis, its counter to Dragon Beast-type Digimon is always so exaggerated. Even the attack of the Infinite Dragon Beast was weakened by nearly a third of its power. Tsk tsk, is this the exhilarating feeling of a rich player using equipment to kill people? I love it."

Emu looked at the Dragon Beast Buster in his hand and praised it.

The Shield of Courage unfolds behind him, the Dragonmon Slayer is equipped in his hands, his entire body is covered in golden Chrono Digizoid armor, and he has the classic ExAid-style big-eyed head—this is what Emu looks like now.

This is also Emu's new form, WarGreymon Action Player, transformed from a WarGreymon Gacha, with a level of...

LV99!

Actually, Emu's WarGreymon Gacha wasn't originally this high level. He obtained it after Agumon evolved, and it was only level 80.

Furthermore, just as Koushiro's collection of data on WarGreymon was incomplete, Emu's data obtained through system fragments was also incomplete, only forming the framework of the cartridge, and not actually usable.

However, Emu possesses the Omegamon cartridge. As the evolved form of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon through fusion, Omegamon's data actually includes the data of both of them.

Emu analyzed the Omegamon Gacha using system fragments, and combined it with the incomplete WarGreymon Gacha in his possession to completely complete it, raising its level to LV99, making the WarGreymon Gacha one of the top-tier Gachas in his hand.

Emu wouldn't have needed to go to this trouble. While his other gacha cards didn't have a super-powerful "Dragon Beast Killer" like the Dragon Beast Killer, defeating Infinite Dragon Beast wouldn't have been a big problem.

However, WarGreymon was one of Emu's most profound childhood memories from his previous life, and he still had a very special feeling towards it. In addition, since DragonBeast Killer was indeed ridiculously powerful when dealing with DragonBeast-type Digimon, Emu simply completed the entire set of Gacha to test the power of DragonBeast Killer.

Judging from the time it just broke through the attack of the Infinite Dragon Beast, the father-type weapon truly lives up to its name.

However, more specific results still need to be tested. As for the test subjects...

Infinite Dragon Beast, I choose you!

Chapter Forty-Seven Fierce Battle

Mugen Dragon Beast was unaware that he had been "handpicked" by Emu as a test subject for the Dragon Beast Killer. Even if he knew, he wouldn't react much as he was revising his battle plan.

Mugendramon's previous attack could be seen as a test in a sense. Although its attack was very powerful, and most Ultimate-level monsters couldn't withstand it, it wasn't Mugendramon's full power.

Even Mugendramon's detection capabilities have their limits. He can't accurately determine an enemy's strength from a great distance without even engaging in combat. Even if he were a completely modified Digimon with a brain capable of functioning as a supercomputer, it wouldn't be enough.

He could only identify different energy gradients and make a rough judgment based on the approximate energy gradient.

"High danger level" is already the highest level in his judgment system. Beings at this level have a very high probability of killing the Infinite Dragon Beast.

However, this is only a rough classification based on energy levels. In reality, even among beings of the same high level of danger, there are differences between them.

The initial energy level required for judgment was reached, and the system's judgment was that the level of danger was high. The energy level required for judgment was far exceeded, and the system's judgment was also that the level of danger was high.

After all, this is already the highest level of warning the system can give.

However, the two are not equal in strength, and their corresponding battle plans will be completely different.

Therefore, it is necessary for Infinite Dragon Beast to conduct some tests. By observing how the enemy responds to its attacks, it can more accurately classify the enemy and formulate more detailed and targeted strategies.

Clearly, the scene of Emu easily tearing apart the Infinite Cannon made Infinite Dragonmon raise his evaluation to a very high level, and Infinite Dragonmon even considered retreating.

Other Digimon are more or less influenced by emotions when thinking about problems. This is because they are intelligent beings with self-awareness and rich emotions; it's an instinct.

But Mugendramon is completely different. As the most thoroughly modified Digimon, he has eliminated unnecessary emotions. His thinking is purely rational and comprehensive. He will list all the possible solutions in his mind and choose according to priority and the current situation.

The chosen solution may not be the most correct, but it is certainly the most suitable.

After a brief period of deliberation, InfiniteDragon decided against retreating.

In his priorities, conquering the Digital World was second only to protecting his own life. His previous attempts to capture White Tigermon were secondary objectives undertaken while ensuring that this objective remained unaffected.

Before engaging in combat with Emu and confirming that Emu would cause irreversible damage and death to his life, Mugendramon must ensure that the high-priority goal of "conquering the Digital World" does not go wrong.

Retreating before the battle is clearly not in line with the priority sequence.

Emu had no idea that Mugen Dragonmon was already thinking about so many things. He simply took advantage of Mugen Dragonmon standing still, seemingly lost in thought, and quickly closed in on him. Once at a suitable distance, he immediately launched a thrust attack.

"Dragon Beast Equipment!"

The Infinite Dragon Beast's electronic eye flashed red at that moment, instantly locking onto Emu's trajectory. Its right claw extended rapidly, cutting into the path of Emu's charge.

Given Emu's thrusting speed, changing direction mid-strike is virtually impossible. Furthermore, according to MugenDragon's calculations, the position of its right claw would correspond to Emu's waist and abdomen, causing severe damage to Emu's internal organs.

Emu was aware of this, but he didn't need to change direction. He simply adjusted the position of the Dragon Beast Killer, and with a high-speed sprint, he maximized the sharpness of the Dragon Beast Killer and its restraint against Dragon Beast-type Digimon, directly severing the three spikes on the right claw of the Infinite Dragon Beast, leaving only a bare claw which the Infinite Dragon Beast retracted.

The Infinite Dragon Beast raised its right claw, carefully examined the smooth cuts on the claw for a few seconds, and entered them as new parameters.

Before the Infinite Dragon Beast could observe him for long or input much information, Emu had already rushed to his side.

The only good news might be that after cutting off Mugendramon's right claw, Emu's speed was also affected, and he wasn't as fast as before, giving Mugendramon some time to react.

Without hesitation, the Infinite Dragon Beast raised its left claw high and slammed it down on Eternal Dream.

Emu crossed his arms to block the MugenDragon's descending left claw. The MugenDragon's power was astonishing; even though it had been weakened by the Dragonbeast Killer, its strength had increased after breaking through the safety threshold. The slamming claw forced Emu to his knees.

Yongmeng hadn't expected the Infinite Dragon Beast to be so powerful, and he was finding it difficult to withstand. He didn't intend to stubbornly try to take the hit head-on; he adjusted his stance, deflecting the Infinite Dragon Beast's power aside, and rolled a few times on the ground to avoid the attack.

The Mugendramon's left claw smashed a large crater in the ground. Without pulling out its claw, the Mugendramon simply lay down, and the cannon on its back began a relentless bombardment of Emu.

Yongmeng cursed under his breath, then pulled his right hand behind his back, and the Shield of Courage appeared in his hand, blocking the attacks of the Infinite Dragon Beast.

It's amazing how the scene of MetalSeadramon versus WarGreymon was recreated.

However, Emu and Mugendramon are significantly stronger than MetalSeadramon and WarGreymon. At least Mugendramon doesn't have to worry about its cannons overheating. Its calculation abilities allow it to control the pace of its firepower. The two cannons also give Mugendramon more room to maneuver.

Emu wasn't going to take this beating any longer. He took the Shield of Courage, stood up from the ground, and the Dragon Beast Slayers on his hands began to glow with golden light, gathering power.

After a brief recharge, the Shield of Courage in front of Emu transformed into two streaks of light and returned to Emu's back. Emu, meanwhile, bravely withstood the barrage of attacks from the Infinite Dragon Beast and charged towards it. The Dragon Beast Slayer in his hand shone even brighter during this process.

The Infinite Dragon Beast observed this scene and immediately noticed the gleaming Dragon Beast Killer. He felt a distinct sense of crisis. This was unfamiliar to him after his modifications, but it didn't stop him from knowing the seriousness of the situation.

The Infinite Dragon Beast immediately stopped firing and quickly got up from the ground to dodge Eternal Dream's attack.

He knew that with Yongmeng's energy and the Chrono Digizoid armor he wore, he wouldn't be in much trouble even if he took a few more hits. But if he were stabbed a few times by those gleaming claws, he would probably die on the spot.

Previous observations have confirmed the Dragon Beast's ability to defeat it. It's not going to be foolish enough to confront this terrifying weapon head-on.

However, Emu didn't want to let Mugendramon escape. Without the obstruction of artillery fire, Emu's speed increased even more; the now completely golden Mugen Beast Killer stabbed towards Mugendramon's head:

"War-driven!!"

Chapter 48 The Four Heavenly Kings - 3

In an instant, Infinite Dragon Beast calculated and determined that it could not completely dodge the attack. Then, it immediately chose the option with the lowest cost from all the options, and swung its right arm to meet Emu's attack.

"War Drive" is a move that gathers the power of the Dragon Beast Killer to attack the enemy. When used, it not only makes the user extremely fast and difficult to dodge, but also pushes the power of the Dragon Beast Killer to its limit, multiplying its effectiveness against Dragon Beast type Digimon.

Specifically, the Mugen Dragon Beast used to block Emu's right arm was cut off by the Dragon Beast Killer, much like a hot knife through butter.

Its right arm, identical to that of the Billion Dragon Beast, flew off. Sparks could still be seen flying from the broken wire at its end.

The Infinite Dragon Beast remained calm about this. He felt no pain and wouldn't feel any discomfort. Moreover, his right claw had been completely severed, rendering it practically useless and unable to function properly. Even if it were completely destroyed, it wouldn't significantly impact his combat strength.
