Knights of the Digital World

They're clearly just trying to satisfy their own selfish desires, yet they pretend to be so noble. How utterly hypocritical!

Without hesitation, Emu directly exposed the truth:

"You make it sound nice, but aren't you just doing it for yourselves? You only fight for Lucemon because you want to go to the human world, so what does it have to do with the world? Don't use the world as an excuse, it's disgusting!"

Both Lordmon and LordKnightmon were surprised to hear Emu's words. How did this child know about their promise with Lucemon?

However, aside from their surprise, they were not ashamed of Emu's words.

Monarchmon calmly said, "How do you know this is just an excuse? You don't understand, this world has been problematic for a long time! The conflict between humanoid Digimon and beast-type Digimon is beyond your imagination."

"The three archangels are utterly incompetent, only able to watch the conflict escalate. Only Cherubimon tried to resolve it. And you've all seen the outcome. Even if Lord Lucemon hadn't intervened, do you really think Cherubimon's fate would have been any better? He would still have fallen! Because of these unsolvable conflicts!"

LordKnightmon picked up the conversation, saying, "We've been working to solve all sorts of problems for the Digital World. However, as long as the conflict between humanoids and beastoids remains unresolved, those problems will continue to arise. Therefore, we've come to the conclusion that to end all this, someone needs to step forward and unify the Digital World, instead of doing nothing like the three archangels and letting the conflict escalate!"

"In order to govern this chaotic world."

"For the sake of a unified and orderly beauty."

"Only Lord Light Beast could do this!"

"This is our justice!"

Monarchmon and LordKnightmon's voices were firm, revealing their true feelings.

"As for going to the human world... hehe, we've been through so many years, we're tired and want to find a place to rest. The human world is our goal."

"Alright, enough of the nonsense. I'll give you a chance. Step back, and we might not lay a hand on you. Our only objective is the data."

The Monarch Beast waved at the children, shooing them away.

After hearing the two Royal Knights' thoughts, the children were also a little confused. It seemed that reviving Lucemon was the right choice?

"We acknowledge that we did not do well enough and made many mistakes."

At this moment, Angewomon, who had been listening silently, also spoke:

"However, the conflict between humanoid and beast-type Digimon is not irreconcilable. Seraphimon and I had already come up with a preliminary plan to resolve this issue. If Lucemon hadn't controlled Cherubimon, this conflict might have been resolved by now."

“Yes!” Seraphimon nodded in agreement with Angewomon, saying, “Besides, are you really sure Lucemon can resolve this conflict? We were created by him, we know him well. He only uses overwhelming power to subdue everyone. Is that resolving the conflict? No, it's just covering up this conflict with an even bigger one!”

"Putting all that aside, at the very least, you shouldn't be harming the Digital World! This is the place that gave us birth and nurtured us. Don't you feel any remorse for destroying it and absorbing its data like this?"

Baromon also rebuked with great sorrow.

"For the sake of justice, all means and all sacrifices are necessary."

Lord Knight Beast remained unmoved, its voice cold and detached.

Monarchmon is even more steadfast than LordKnightmon. He is also an outlier among the Royal Knights, possessing a strong sense of loyalty and absolute obedience to his master, even if that master is considered to be "evil."

He has pledged his loyalty to Lucemon, so he will never betray him!

The Monarch Beast shook its head, not wanting to say anything more. It immediately bent down, plunged its right hand into the ground, and began absorbing data.

"We've got the data for this area!"

"stop!"

The children are still a little confused about who is right and who is wrong, but one thing is certain: we must protect the digital world and prevent it from being destroyed at will.

In an instant, the children raised their Digimon, the Ten Warriors roared with their warrior spirits, six data streams flashed, and Firedramon, Warwomon, Deliomon, Rhinoceros Beetlemon, Bassamon, and Shuzmon pounced on Lordmon together.

Under Emu's repeated guidance, the children have now developed the habit of going all out when they fight. Unlike in the original story, where they would always go in human form first and get thwarted, only switching to beast form when they couldn't win. That was a pure waste of energy.

LordKnightmon moved to intercept the children. But then, a fiery red DigiSoul flashed, and two bullets blocked LordKnightmon's path.

Parad, dressed in a black leather outfit, stood side-by-side with Emu, who had transformed into Angel Action Player (Ultimate Angemon Gashat) Level 99. Parad raised the lotus root in his hand, blew on it, and said:

"Your opponent is here."

"You've been underestimated, Monarch Beast."

LordKnightBeast sensed the auras emanating from the two individuals, shook its head slightly, and expressed some dissatisfaction.

Lordmon's hearty laughter rang out: "Hahaha, then let them see how powerful we are! Let's make a bet, LordKnightmon, who can defeat the opponent first!"

As Monarch Beast spoke, it directly raised its hand and grabbed Fire Dragon Beast's fist and War Wolf Beast's slash. With a twist of its body, it flung the two of them away, causing them to crash into Emperor Lion Beast and Rhinoceros Beetle Beast.

At the same time, his dragon wings spread out on his back to maintain his balance, and he kicked Basamon and Shuzmon, sending them flying.

"Hmph, is there even a question? I, Youyue, will definitely win."

Lord Knightmon shook its head dismissively, and with a flicker of its body, it appeared before Emu and the other two like a ghost.

"Swirling and Dancing Dance!"

Four blades extending from the armor flew towards Emu and Palad, slashing fiercely.

Don't underestimate people!

Parad shouted, brandishing the lotus root in his hand to meet the Lord Knight Beast's bladed attack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Emu spread his arms, and seven orbs of light flew out:

"Seven Heavens!"

Chapter 48, Super Soul Evolution (Third Update)

"Hmph, desperate fear!"

LordKnightmon remained calm. He thrust his right "Impact Cone" forward, deflecting the light sphere, and instantly rushed into Emu's arms. At point-blank range, he unleashed a shockwave at Emu with the Impact Cone.

"Waaah!"

LordKnightmon's speed exceeded Emu's judgment, and before she could react, she was sent flying with a single blow.

Parad was gradually weakened by LordKnightmon's bladed attack. LordKnightmon flashed again and rushed into Parad's arms, knocking her away as well.

"Monarch Beast, it seems the battle is over, isn't it? As expected, I have won a magnificent victory."

The lord knight stretched out his hand and pulled out a red rose from somewhere. He held it to his nose and smelled it with relish, then laughed.

"Hmph, you're really useless. I'm getting serious now! Dragon's Roar!"

Monarch Beast snorted, dissatisfied with Emu and the others' lack of resilience.

He unleashed his fury on the children he was fighting. With a wave of his hands, two streams of energy, one blue and one red, converged in his palms, and then countless spherical energy waves shot towards the children.

In the original story, Lordmon easily defeated Firedramon and Warwomon with a simple "Dragon's Roar," forcing them back into human form. Now, fueled by rage, his attack was even more powerful, leaving the children defenseless. They plummeted from the sky amidst a barrage of energy spheres, reverting to human form mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"How rude of you, Monarch Beast! You should learn more about elegance from me."

Lord Knight Beast shook his head in criticism.

"It doesn't matter. Power is justice; elegance is irrelevant."

The Monarch Beast didn't care at all. He squatted down, stuck his right hand into the ground, and a piece of the earth beneath his feet instantly turned into data that flowed into his palm.

"barbarian."

LordKnightmon complained as usual and began absorbing the data.

"Eden Javelin!"

A javelin streaked across the sky, heading straight for the two royal riders.

The monarch beast grabbed it and flung it back, saying impatiently, "Who is it now?"

Angewomon caught the javelin that was fired back at her, took a deep breath, and said, "It's me! I am a Seraphim, the guardian of the Digital World. I will not allow you to destroy the Digital World!"

"And me, Seraphim! Don't even think about acting recklessly in front of me!"

Seraphimon, clutching his chest, stood beside Ophanimon.

"Ahem, and so are we. We're not so easily dealt with."

Yongmeng pulled Palad up, coughed twice, and walked back as well.

"How annoying. Watch out for my strike..."

The monarch beast felt a little irritated, and energy began to gather around its body.

"Wait, Your Majesty, come to me. This spirit of defiance is beautiful too. Let me give them a magnificent exit!"

LordKnightmon reached out and stopped LordMon, his words revealing a hint of interest.

"Since you put it that way, I'll leave it to you. I'll go back to collecting data."

Lordmon and LordKnightmon have always had a good relationship. LordKnightmon took the initiative to take on the battle mission, and he didn't mind. He nodded and flew to the side to absorb the data of that area.

"Stop him!"

Angewomon shouted and threw a gun at Lordmon.

"Don't be so irritable, it'll make you look bad."

Lord Knight Beast flashed into the path of the javelin, raised its right arm, and blocked the attack with its "Impact Cone".

"Come on, show me your beauty, and then leave!"

Lord Knight Beast announced loudly, and four bladed swords slashed towards the four people.

…………

"Takuya, what do we do now?"

Perhaps due to the numerous soul evolutions, the children's bodies had also been strengthened to some extent. After lying on the ground for a while, they were able to move around with some difficulty.

The group gathered together and asked anxiously.

"You all remember, right? Before we came here, Emu asked Angewomon to upgrade my and Kouji's Digivice. Perhaps... it was all for this moment."

Takuya took out his Dinosaur and held it in his hand, looking thoughtful.

"What? Did Emu foresee this moment back then?" Koizumi asked, somewhat surprised.

"No, it's probably just being prepared, making some preparations in advance. In any case, it's the only option we have right now."

Kouji also took out his Digivice and said in a deep voice.

"What should we do?" Huiyi asked.

"As Emu said, if two warrior souls can fuse and evolve, then more warrior souls can do the same! Now, let's call out with all our might. The warrior souls will respond to us."

"Takuya replied. He closed his eyes, as if truly calling upon the spirit of the warrior."

He'd recently developed a growing sense that the Fighter's Soul seemed to possess its own consciousness. However, this feeling wasn't very clear, leaving him uncertain. Therefore, Takuya hadn't told anyone else.
