Knights of the Digital World

Taiichi waved his hand at Apocalypse Beast, and the eight Ultimate Beasts responded and rushed towards Apocalypse Beast.

Beside them were the eight spiritual lights of the children, radiating sacred light, accompanying the eight ultimate beings toward the Apocalypse Beast.

"Sakuyamon, I'm leaving this place to you! I'm going to help too!"

Parad called out to the Shaguya Beast, drew his beloved spear "Lotus Root," and followed it excitedly.

Although she is a virus species, she has always harbored beautiful and positive emotions in her heart, unlike most virus species whose hearts are filled with various desires and evil thoughts.

Under the illumination of these eight spiritual lights, Palad not only did not feel uncomfortable, but felt warm and full of energy, which also made her fighting spirit soar – her partner was still fighting, so how could she back down!

…………

"The Sword of Destruction!"

Emu swiftly swung the Tyrannosaurus Rex Sword in his hand, knocking away all sorts of random weapons that kept attacking him from the surrounding area.

Not far from him, the apocalypse beast stared at him with venomous eyes, its right hand clutching a severed arm, which it pressed against its left shoulder, slowly regenerating.

Emu's surprise attack was very successful. Apocalymon's lower body was dragging a huge dodecahedron, making it difficult to move. Faced with Emu's attack, it had no way to dodge, and its tentacles were too late to block. It could only use its still frozen left arm as a shield to block the Tyrannosaurus Sword.

The result was obvious: Apocalymon's left arm was ripped off by Emu, and the ice covering the arm melted completely under the intense heat of the Tyrannosaurus Sword.

However, Apocalymon was ruthless. Just as Emu was about to press his advantage, Apocalymon grabbed its severed left arm and swung it around, the broken part smashing directly into Emu's eyes. Dark green blood splattered everywhere, causing Emu to instinctively take a few steps back.

Seizing the opportunity, Apocalypse Beast transformed several tentacles into various weapons and attacked Emu. Meanwhile, it retreated while using its own energy to remove the divine power that Emu had left on its wounds. Then, it pressed its left arm back and began to heal.

The Apocalypse Beast's regenerative abilities are also limited. The wounds it casually scratched before, though bloody, were not serious and had no energy to hinder healing; they were completely healed in the blink of an eye.

However, Emu removed Apocalypse Beast's arm and left his own energy to hinder Apocalypse Beast's healing.

If the Apocalypse Beast hadn't possessed limitless energy and hadn't grabbed its arm in time to reconnect the severed limb, it would have taken several hours to fully recover from such a serious injury.

However, Apocalypse Beast didn't care, since it would eventually grow back anyway. It didn't care about the time it took; it was just annoyed at being beaten so badly by Eternal Dream.

As a collection of negative emotions, the Apocalypse Beast naturally possesses various negative emotions as well. Or perhaps, negative emotions are the key to its existence.

Having been so badly beaten by Emu, Apocalymon is determined to retaliate. It's only because it's still healing its wounds and hasn't used its full strength that Emu is able to hold on.

Once He has fully recovered, He will definitely show Emon His terror!

Chapter Sixty-Two Explosion

Apocalymon was still ruthless in its heart, and Emu had already knocked away Apocalymon's tentacles, continuing to charge towards Apocalymon.

Emu is a seasoned veteran, having learned the application of many weapons when he was first trained by Dark Beast. Subsequent battles honed his skills even further.

Apocalypse Beast has not actually experienced any battles. It possessed its current power from the moment it appeared and has always acted out of resentment towards beautiful things. It has no skills whatsoever.

Therefore, even though Apocalymon surpasses Emu in energy, skill diversity, and power, it still cannot stop Emu's charge. Emu once again charges in, its Tyrannosaurus Sword and Garurumon Cannon fully charged, unleashing a barrage of flames and ice upon Apocalymon:

"A double torrent strikes!"

After being attacked in the face by Emu, Apocalymon became more prepared, and two tentacles constantly surrounded it.

After Emu's second attack, He immediately waved one of His tentacles, and the pentagonal pyramid on one of the tentacles turned into a large piece of iron, which looked like armor that had been taken off someone's body, used to block Emu's attack.

The other tentacle transformed into a cannon from the Infinite Dragon Beast, which then launched an attack on Emu.

Having tried so many Digimon's special moves, Apocalymon still prefers Mugendramon's "Infinite Cannon" the most. It's powerful, charges up quickly, and is also very straightforward—all you have to do is fire, which perfectly suits its needs.

The large iron block still couldn't withstand Yongmeng's attack. It shattered under the combined force of ice and fire, leaving only a bare, spiraling tentacle that was pushed aside by the aftershocks.

However, the attack launched by the Apocalypse Beast made Emu wary, and he stepped aside. The remaining attacks also failed to hit the Apocalypse Beast, and He avoided them.

The tentacles of Apocalymon that had been knocked away all retracted, fluttering before it and transforming into the shape of an infinite cannon. At that moment, Apocalymon's left arm reconnected, and it revealed a twisted smile, saying to Emu:

"Kamen Rider, die! Infinite Cannon - Rapid Fire!"

The muzzles of the more than ten Infinite Cannons glowed with energy, instantly chilling Yongmeng to the bone, and she instinctively wanted to dodge.

However, Emu knew very well that if he avoided it now, he would be handing over the initiative. He would then be left to fend for himself under the endless barrage of the Apocalypse Beast until his energy was exhausted and he was completely annihilated.

Since that's the case, why not go all out, fight back against back, suppress the Apocalypse Beast's first wave of attacks, and take the initiative into our own hands!

With that in mind, Emu held back no longer, directly pulling out the World Guardian Gacha and unleashing his full power:

"Gashat! Let's play!"

"Role of choice!"

"Guardian!"

"Mercy! Valor! Sacrifice! Guardians of countless worlds! The Guardian of Ging Fate! Guardian Ex-Aid!"

A sacred halo appeared behind Emu, her body adorned with a mixture of ten colors that did not appear out of place, and she exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

"Dragon Collider!"

Emu inserted the Lordmon cartridge into the Player Driver, and the data was instantly read. His entire body surged with energy, and a giant dragon phantom appeared outside his body. After letting out a roar, it charged towards Apocalymon.

The Apocalypse Beast's more than ten infinite cannons had also gathered their power, and the super-powerful energy cannons spewed out, forming a continuous barrage to meet the dragon phantom.

"boom!!!"

The moment the two energies collided, they exploded completely. An incredibly blinding light appeared in the boundless dark space. Neither Eternal Dream nor Apocalypse Beast could withstand the aftershocks of the explosion and were instantly blasted away.

The power of the Dragon Collider and the Infinite Cannon did not cancel each other out; instead, they amplified each other's strength, multiplying the power of the explosion and even exceeding the imagination of Emu and Apocalymon.

In this terrifying explosion, the Dark Zone created by Apocalymon was also torn open, revealing a clear view of the scenery within the territory of Azure Dragonmon.

Perhaps because the Azure Dragon Beast had passed away, the dark clouds that had lingered over his territory for years had completely dissipated, and soft light shone into the Dark Zone, bringing a touch of warmth.

"Ugh... I hate light!"

The Apocalypse Beast let out a disgusted roar, and energy surged forth, repairing the damage to the Dark Zone.

He was close to the location of the explosion, and his body was covered with burns left by the aftershocks of the energy. Dark green blood flowed freely, making him look like a bloody mess.

Especially since the wounds on His body were still wriggling and healing, He looked increasingly disgusting.

However, Apocalymon didn't care; pain was something He—or rather, they, those Digimon that failed to evolve—had endured countless times.

The disgusting appearance is even less significant. Digimon that fail to evolve, even if they don't die on the spot, often end up in a disgusting form, such as Poopmon or Snotmon. They are hated and ostracized by other Digimon and can only live in dark corners, watching other Digimon laugh in the sunlight.

He was used to this, but he also resented, was angry, and was unwilling to accept it.

So be it, ugly is ugly! Disgusting is disgusting! It doesn't matter. He only wants to realize his ambitions, sweep away all obstacles, and create a world exclusively for them, these dark beings.

Now, has the first obstacle been cleared?

"Ugh... I almost died... Did the usage time get shortened because of this? Only half a minute left?! What can I do with that! Are Taiichi and the others not ready yet? I really can't hold on much longer..."

not at all.

In the vision of the Apocalypse Beast, a humanoid being with a ring on its back and ten colors on its body was clutching its chest and floating in the air.

His armor was tattered, and the ring on his back was dull and lifeless, clearly indicating that he had also suffered considerable damage from the aftershocks of the energy. However, he kept muttering something and seemed quite energetic.

Masked Rider.

The greatest enemy that hinders my creation of a new world.

Apocalymon squinted, and the tentacles that he had prioritized to restore had transformed into the shape of an Infinity Cannon, aimed at Emu.

The original target of the Apocalypse Beast was the Chosen Children. It wasn't that it thought the Chosen Children were particularly strong; it was simply jealousy and resentment towards the goodness they possessed.

However, the recent explosion caused Apocalypse Beast to shift its target. Emu is now its number one enemy.

Even the Apocalypse Beast had to acknowledge the power of Eternal Dream. Yet, this power stood in opposition to Him, hindering His actions.

So, for his own ambitions, for the resentment in his heart, for those Digimon lurking in the shadows... there is only one answer—

kill him!

"Infinite Cannon!!!"

Chapter Sixty-Three Fragments

"Gaia Energy Cannon!"

A massive spherical high-energy ball shot out, blocking the Infinite Cannon's launch trajectory and triggering another small explosion.

Emu reached out and blocked the aftershocks of the energy, and saw the eight ultimate forms rushing towards Apocalymon accompanied by the shining light of the soul.

WarGreymon noticed Emu's big eyes staring at him, gave him a thumbs up, and continued charging towards Apocalymon.

The most urgent task right now is to deal with the Apocalypse Beast. We can talk about anything else after the battle is over.

Emu also breathed a sigh of relief. His "Guardian of the World" cartridge only had half a minute left to run. If he continued to fight Apocalypse Beast, he would be committing suicide.

However, WarGreymon and the others didn't arrive, and Emu didn't know if Taichi had understood his words. He could only grit his teeth and try to hold on.

Fortunately, Taiichi did not disappoint him. WarGreymon and the others arrived just in time, and he could go and rest for a while.

The rest is up to the children.

With that thought in mind, Emu pulled out the World Guardian Gashat and deactivated his transformation. But after hesitating for a moment, he took out the Moemon Gashat and began healing his injuries.

He's exhausted and has no energy left, so continuing to use the cartridges is really tough. However, the explosion also left him with serious injuries. He looks lively and energetic, but his Rider Gauge is down to the last one or two bars, which is worse than when he was injected with five times the dark energy by Apocalymon.

Without treatment, Emu was afraid he would suddenly die.

Just then, a familiar figure swept past him, turning to blow him a kiss. A black trench coat billowed as the figure flew toward the Apocalypse Beast.

Parad!

What is she going to do?!

……

"WarGreymon?! Wasn't he hit by my Death Evolution?! Logically, he should have lost the ability to evolve! Why? Why can you evolve again?!"

The fact that Apocalymon's Infinite Cannon was blocked only slightly surprised Him, who wondered where the energy blast came from. But the appearance of WarGreymon before Him next completely threw Him into a frenzy, causing Him to roar loudly.

"Apocalymon, are you surprised? You forced me to regress using negative emotions and dark power, but I can naturally evolve back using positive emotions and light power! I told you, Apocalymon! I will defeat you!"

WarGreymon responded loudly in return, and the orange-yellow light of "courage" belonging to Taiichi beside him grew even thicker amidst WarGreymon's soaring fighting spirit, binding Apocalymon's neck like a rope.

"Cough cough... What is this?! My power... My power has been suppressed?!"

The Apocalypse Beast coughed twice as it was pulled by the beam of light. But what terrified it even more was that its power seemed to be suppressed by something; the flow of energy was not as smooth as before, and it could mobilize less energy.

Although the suppressed and weakened power wasn't significant, its implications filled Apocalypsemon with apprehension. Don't forget, seven beams of light came along too! How much power would be weakened if they were all bound?!
