Knights of the Digital World

"No matter what, we'll find out by going and taking a look!"

Takuya's approach remains direct, but it is very effective.

There's no need to rush.

Emu tried to dissuade them, saying, "Let's go after everyone's injuries have healed."

Emu thought for a moment and said to Angewomon, "Angewomon, could you upgrade Takuya and Kouji's Digimon? I think the power of the Ten Warriors can still be explored. Since the souls of humanoid and beast-type warriors can fuse and evolve, why can't the souls of warriors of different types fuse and evolve?"

"Our current combat strength is insufficient, and we need to continue to increase our high-level combat capabilities. In any case, we have to give it a try."

Angewomon nodded and said, "That's not difficult. Takuya, Kouji, hand over your Digivices to me."

In the original story, Angewomon was able to upgrade the two's Digimon even before she died, so it was even easier for her now, and she completed the upgrade in no time.

The children watched with envy, but they all understood Emu's choice. Takuya and Kouji had always been among the most perceptive children, which was clearly demonstrated in their dual-soul evolution.

To achieve the fusion and evolution of multiple warrior souls, besides Angewomon's help, exceptional comprehension is also essential. Takuya and Kouji are the most suitable candidates.

Moreover, the newfound power these two gained also meant they would face greater dangers. The children felt more concern for them than envy.

Emu was also making preparations. He scanned the data of Silver Mirror Beast from Takuya, completely collecting the Ten Warriors' cartridges. The completion rate of the "Ten Warriors" super cartridge had reached 80%, ensuring its security.

However, Emu can only achieve Double Soul Evolution with this cartridge at most, and its combat power is still inferior to that of the Ultimate Seraphimon cartridge. It's unknown whether Takuya and Kouji will be able to unlock the cartridge's Super Soul Evolution form after their Super Soul Evolution.

To be honest, Emu didn't really want to face LordKnightmon and LordMon. But to prevent Lucemon's revival, these two were unavoidable.

In fact, despite having three top-tier ultimate-level fighters, they might not be a match for the two royal knights.

Even among top-tier Ultimate-level monsters, there are differences. At least the two Archangels are completely outmatched in combat by KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon from the original work.

In terms of top-tier combat power, the current team is not much different from the one in the original work.

LordKnightmon and LordMon are even stronger than KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon, since they specialize in fighting and are incredibly fierce when they fight.

In the original story, Takuya and Kouji were utterly defeated in their first battle against them. If Baromon hadn't risked his life to save them, the children would have all been killed.

Even so, the children were sent flying to the moon, and it took them a lot of effort to get back to Earth in the digital world.

This shows just how fierce these two royal knights are.

Of course, the fact that they were completely outmatched the first time was also related to the fact that Takuya and Kouji were fighting too frequently. They would fight the Cherubimon almost immediately after finishing off the Royal Knights.

With his injuries not fully healed, how could he not get utterly crushed?

This is also why Emu insisted that everyone should go and explore again after they have recovered.

They were already weaker than their opponents, yet they dared to fight injured. Were they just feeding the enemy?

Anyway, recovering from their injuries won't delay anything. Except for Bokomon and Questionmon, who were asked to find a safe place to wait for news with the egg left by Darkmon, everyone else in the party is here, and no one is waiting for them. So there's nothing to rush.

…………

Baromon, who told the children the truth about the Digital World in the original story and shielded them from the Royal Knights' attack with his life, stood on the mountain wall, his cloak fluttering in the cold wind.

Baromon tightened its cloak and reached up to touch its third eye on its forehead:

"Why haven't the successors of the Ten Warriors' will arrived yet?"

"Was my prediction wrong?"

"This wind is so cold..."

Chapter 46, The Royal Cavalry Appears (First Update)

Baromon waited in the cold wind for an unknown amount of time before the children finally arrived. His strange appearance, however, led the children to misunderstand him, and they all took out their Digimon, ready to attack.

Perhaps because of the presence of the two archangels, Baromon didn't pretend like in the original story, but went straight to the point:

"Successors of the Ten Warriors, you have finally arrived! I foresaw the resurgence of Lucemon!"

As he spoke, Baromon's third eye shone, pulling everyone present into the scene he had foretold. They saw Lucemon, sealed in the dark area, slightly open its eyes and reveal a smile.

Baromon was full of confidence, believing that his prediction would definitely surprise the children.

However, after reading Baromon's prophecy, the children looked on with an expression of "I knew it," and turned their gaze to a child with a Witchmon by his side, praising, "Emu, just as you said. It seems that Lucemon was the one who did Cherubimon's thing."

The two archangels nodded in approval, their expressions somewhat somber, as if they were lamenting the loss of their friend.

Baromon: ? ? ?

What the heck? I was the one who made the prediction? Shouldn't I be the one getting praised? What did this child do?!

However, the most important thing for a prophet is to remain calm in the face of change.

Baromon remained expressionless, looked at Emu, and asked:

"Child, are you also a prophet? Did you also foresee the resurgence of the Light Beast?"

Emu shook his head and said, "I can't make prophecies. I just guessed, based on logical reasoning, that Lucemon is related to this series of events."

Of course, it goes without saying that Emu works by working backward from the result.

"Logical reasoning, that's really impressive... Since you all already know, I won't say any more. Right now, Lucemon is still sealed in the Dark Zone. However, Cherubimon has already absorbed the data it collected. The seal is starting to loosen."

Baromon originally planned to take the children to see the history of the Digital World, but seeing that they already knew most of it, he didn't waste time and started introducing it directly:

"Right now, Lucemon's minions are still collecting data for him. I don't know who they are, but I know they are very powerful. Even the three archangels are not as powerful as them!"

"Successors of the Ten Warriors, you must stop them! We cannot allow them to continue destroying the Digital World. We cannot allow them to continue collecting data and revive Lucemon. Otherwise, it will be a catastrophe!"

Baromon spoke very seriously, and the children all nodded in agreement with Baromon's statement.

While they were healing, they had inquired about Lucemon's strength from the two archangels. According to the archangels, they were like children in front of Lucemon; one can imagine how terrifying Lucemon was!

In particular, this Digimon with extraordinary abilities was once a tyrant. Now, after being sealed away for so many years, no one doubts the upheaval it will cause once it is freed.

"Lucemon is still trapped. What we need to do now is stop his minions. Baromon, can you predict their location?"

UltimateAngemon's thinking was still very clear, and he asked.

The two archangels were, after all, people who had once rebelled against Lucemon's tyranny. Although they still feared all of Lucemon's power, their sense of responsibility and love for the Digital World helped them overcome their fear.

Baromon nodded and said, "I can make the prophecy now. Please wait a moment."

As Baromon spoke, it closed its eyes, with only its third eye on its forehead shining brightly, as if it were seeing through the fog of the future.

Suddenly, the Baromon grunted, took a step back, covered its third eye, pointed to the side, and said:

"They're coming from that direction!"

As if to verify Baromon's words, a small mountain in the direction he pointed was transformed into data and absorbed by someone. And the person who absorbed it also revealed their form.

It was a Holy Knight Digimon, with a burly and robust build, a pair of purple dragon wings on its back, a dragon-like appearance, and wearing white dragon armor made of high-purity Chrono Digizoid. It exuded an aura of overwhelming power.

Royal Knight, Monarch Beast!

"Damn it! I'll stop him!"

As an archangel in charge of the law, Seraphimon could not tolerate anyone destroying the Digital World in front of him.

His ten wings spread out, and he rushed to the front of the monarch beast. With a wave of his hands, seven blazing orbs of light flew out:

"Seven Heavens!"

"Ok?"

Monarch Beast snorted, flipped its right hand to collect the data, and casually swatted away the seven orbs of light with its left hand as if swatting a fly.

"Ultimate Seraphimon? Hmph, nothing special. Dragon's Roar!"

Monarchmon raised his hand and unleashed a deep blue energy wave that slammed into Seraphimon's chest, slamming him back into the ground and creating a large crater.

"Monarch Beast, what happened?"

The land on the other side transformed into data and flowed into the hands of another Digimon. That Digimon noticed the commotion and flew over as well.

This is a beautiful Digimon clad in pink armor. Four blades extend from its armor, and its right wrist is equipped with an offensive and defensive shield called the "Impact Cone." Its imposing presence is no less than that of Lordmon.

Royal Knight, Lord Knight Beast!

"No big deal. I just defeated Seraphimon. Hmph... the three great angels."

The Monarch Beast chuckled and began absorbing the data below again.

By this time, the children had arrived, and Seraphimon, clutching his chest, got up. Takuya shouted a question:

"Stop!! Who are you people?!"

"Us? Hahahaha!"

Lordmon and LordKnightmon exchanged a glance, laughed, and landed in front of the children.

"For the justice of Lord Lucemon."

"For the sake of beautiful justice."

"We are the Royal Knights who traverse the digital world!"

"Monarch Beast!"

LordKnightmon!

"We are here on Lord Lucemon's orders to collect data from the Digital World!"

For some reason, the introduction of these two Royal Knights reminded Emu of the opening remarks of Team Rocket. Even though it was a very serious scene, he almost burst out laughing.

Perhaps because he had become familiar with the eight-legged horse beast, Emu's mindset was much better when facing these two royal riders, unlike before when he hadn't met them and hadn't thought about it so much.

But the others didn't have his good attitude. Especially Baromon, who, after hearing the Royal Knights' introduction, looked like the sky had fallen and loudly questioned:

"Why?! Why would the righteous Royal Knights help Lucemon?! Have you betrayed justice?!"

Chapter 47, The Royal Knights' Justice (Second Update)

"Justice? You have no idea what true justice is." Lord Knight Beast produced a red rose from somewhere and sniffed it lightly.

"The digital world is in chaos. Such a world... is dangerous!"

"That's right, only Lord Lucemon can unify the Digital World! For this, I pledge my loyalty to Lord Lucemon!"

The monarch beast raised its head high.

"You're kidding me! Who do you think caused the world to become like this?!"

Takuya couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly.

Emu frowned. He knew that the Royal Knights fought for Lucemon because Lucemon had promised to send them to the human world after Lucemon was resurrected.
