Knights of the Digital World

With another flash, LordKnightmon appeared in front of Angewomon, its shock cone striking Angewomon's abdomen and knocking her down as well.

"Well then, that's all for me, Monarch Beast."

Lord Knight Beast picked up the red rose and said calmly.

"Just deal with them directly, you're just full of nonsense."

Monarchmon flew over and complained somewhat discontentedly to LordKnightmon.

“What do you know? This is the pursuit of beauty. My justice must be beautiful enough, not as barbaric as yours.”

LordKnightBeast didn't care and replied casually.

"Damn it... is the difference in strength really that big?"

KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon had regained consciousness, but they were still somewhat unsteady on their feet.

Seeing that the two Royal Knights had reunited, they quickly came to Emu's side. Seraphimon and Angewomon also struggled to their feet and joined them.

Their combat abilities are truly poor, but their recovery abilities are quite strong. Despite having just suffered a heavy blow, they at least regained their mobility in no time.

"Emu, what do we do next? We're no match for the two of them."

KaiserGreymon knelt down and asked. He had been badly beaten by Lordmon and his head was still spinning.

“We… have to retreat. We’re no match for them right now,” Magnagarurumon said softly, also kneeling.

"The problem now is how to retreat. They won't let us get away," Seraphimon muttered. His strength wasn't enough, but his eyesight remained. In this situation, no one would let their opponent escape!

Emu, supporting himself on KaiserGreymon's leg, managed to stand up, took out his Digivice, stored Paradox inside, took a deep breath, and said:

"Wait a minute, Angewomon, protect the children. Seraphimon, KaiserGreymon, MagnaGarurumon, unleash your full power! This area is unstable due to the massive absorption of data. A violent energy burst should be able to tear through space and take us away."

In the original story, this was the reason the children were sent to the moon. Monarch Beast's "Dragon Breath" was too powerful, directly breaking through the spatial barrier and sending the children to the moon.

Now, there's no other way to escape; we have to take this gamble!

Where we end up is entirely up to fate!

After hearing Yongmeng's plan, everyone was somewhat worried. This opportunity was too unreliable. If they failed to blast open the space, they might all be blown up by their own people!

However, until there is a better way, this risky and dangerous plan is the only option left.

KaiserGreymon reached out and grabbed Emu, and the four top-tier Ultimate level monsters rushed towards the children.

"Oh? They still have the strength to move? Monarch Beast, it seems we didn't use enough power."

This obvious move immediately caught the attention of LordKnightmon. He spoke with a hint of mockery, his words carrying a trace of dissatisfaction at not being able to completely defeat his opponent.

"Heh heh, isn't this what makes it interesting?"

The Monarch Beast also felt anger. He sneered, and surging energy began to gather. He was about to get serious!

But to the surprise of the two Royal Knights, after the two Royal Knights reunited, Seraphimon, KaiserGreymon, and MagnaGarurumon all lit up with light, and all their energy exploded!

How terrifying would it be if three ultimate beings detonated all their energy together? The location where they stood was blasted into a massive crater stretching for kilometers. And the children vanished completely.

Chapter 51, Escaping from Death

What are they doing?

The Monarch Beast dispersed the energy it had gathered, tilted its head, and looked surprisingly cute.

"I didn't understand either. I originally thought it was going to kill us all. But... the distance was too great for the blast to reach us."

LordKnightmon was also confused and couldn't figure out the other party's intentions.

"So what do we do now?" Monarch Beast asked.

Lord Knight Beast shook his head and said:

"Never mind them. We only have one goal: to collect data and resurrect Lord Light Beast. Let's go. Isn't it easier for us without them stopping us?"

At this moment, the urging voice of the Light Beast also emanated from the dark realm deep within the earth:

"Royal Knight...give me the data now! I need the data!"

"Don't delay... The sooner I come out, the sooner your wishes will be fulfilled!"

Upon hearing this, Monarch Beast quickly sent the data he had collected into the Dark Area and replied:

"Don't worry, Lord Lucemon. We will collect all the data for you as soon as possible and break the seal!"

LordKnightmon remained silent for a moment, hesitated, and then raised his hand to send the data into the dark area, asking in a low voice:

"Lord Lucemon, you will keep our promise, won't you?"

Lucemon was in a good mood after receiving the new data and responded:

"Of course. I'll send you to the human world once I'm free. LordKnightmon, put away your unnecessary suspicions. Now, go and collect more data for me! I... can't wait to get out..."

"Yes, Lord Light Beast!"

The two royal knights responded and headed towards the next area.

…………

"We...we survived!"

Some distance from their original location, the group reappeared.

Apart from Takuya and Kouji, who collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, the other children were in much better condition than in the original story, thanks to the protection of Angewomon, and had almost no serious injuries.

Only Emu, due to the previous battle, still had wounds on her body and her face was very pale.

He coughed a few times and said, "Go check on Takuya and the others. They self-destructed their energy and weren't protected by Angewomon, so they're probably seriously injured."

The other children knew this too, and disregarding their joy at escaping, they rushed forward.

Angewomon collapsed to the ground, her body flashing with white light, having reverted to her original form as a puppymon, her face showing exhaustion.

"Emu, my power is exhausted too. Could you please check where Seraphimon is? Is he alright?"

Emu nodded, clutched his chest, looked around, and found an unconscious Patamon.

He picked up Patamon, sensed his presence, and returned to say, "UltraSeraphimon is alright; he also exhausted his energy. When he was traversing space, he must have helped protect Takuya and Kouji. Now he has regressed into Patamon and is still unconscious."

"Also... we don't know where Baromon went."

The little dog's eyes were filled with sadness: "If it can't be found, then it's probably dead..."

Emu fell silent, finally able only to sigh, unsure of what to say. He had thought he could change Baromon's fate, but it seemed he too was destined to die.

At this moment, Junpei and Kouichi, carrying Takuya and Kouji respectively, returned. Koizumi said:

"Takuya and the others are alright. Their injuries aren't too serious. They'll be fine after some rest. Emu, what should we do next?"

Yongmeng rallied his spirits; now was not the time to lament for Baromon. He thought for a moment and said, "We need to find a place to rest and recover as quickly as possible... Let's call Bokomon and the others to join us first. Letting them run around unchecked might lead to them encountering the Royal Knights."

"No problem. I know where Angemon is. His strength is no less than that of an Ultimate-level Digimon, so we can go there to recuperate. Also, there's something else I need your help with. Four human children don't want to go back to the real world, so I asked Angemon to protect them... I hope you can persuade them to go back. The Digital World is too dangerous now, and they haven't inherited the power of the Ten Warriors..."

The little dog shook its head, looking somewhat worried.

"A human child? Oh, I see. I understand, we'll try to persuade them."

Emu paused for a moment, then recalled that there were indeed four such mischievous children in the original story. So he nodded in agreement and said, "Now, let's contact Bokomon and the others as soon as possible."

Before the final battle with Cherubimon, Emu, fearing for the safety of Bokomon and the others, specifically instructed them to find a place to wait for news. For easier communication, he also asked Omniwomon to create a simple communicator that could connect to the Digivice and had a location tracking function.

After defeating Cherubimon and recovering from their injuries, the children called Bokomon and Questionmon over, and entrusted Cherubimon's egg to Bokomon's care.

Bokomon happily stuffed the egg into his pants, indicating that the egg would be his child from now on—he had wanted to do this for a long time, but Emu absolutely refused to let him stuff the egg left by Darkmon into his pants, which made him regret it for a long time.

Speaking of the friendship between the three archangels, it's really a fake friendship. Ophanimon and Seraphimon actually agreed to what Pokomon did!

But considering how happy Patamon looked wearing those flowery shorts in the original story, maybe it's because they genuinely thought they looked good?

Digimon are quite fast. Especially Bokomon and Questionmon, who were dedicated to improving their running speed, appeared before the children shortly after receiving the message.

Surprisingly, the egg that Bokomon had stuffed into its underwear was gone, replaced by a Digimon with large ears, grayish-black skin, and wearing the same kind of underwear as Bokomon—

Black-eared Beast!

The Cherubim's egg has hatched!

Emu was taken aback, turned his head to look at the Digimon holding the Digimon in its arms, but still didn't react at all.

As expected of an egg from one of the three great angels, the hatching speed is outrageous.

"Emu, are you all alright? How are Takuya and Kouji? Why haven't I seen Angewomon and Seraphimon? You told us to come here quickly, did something happen?"

From afar, Bokomon saw that Emu's face was pale, and that Takuya and Kouji had lost their will and were being carried on someone's back. The two archangels were nowhere to be seen either. He immediately realized that something was wrong.

However, when they contacted each other, Emu and the others didn't explain things clearly, only urging them to come quickly, so Bogomon didn't know what had happened.

"Mom and Dad, can I be friends with them? I feel a sense of closeness whenever I see them."

Blackearmon tugged at Pogomon's trouser leg and pointed to Puppetmon sitting on the ground and Patamon in Emu's arms.

His address is the same as Patamon in the original work, calling Pokomon "Papa and Mom".

Following the direction Blackearmon pointed, Bogomon exclaimed in surprise, pointed with trembling hands, and asked, "Is it them?"

Emu nodded and said, "Yes, my power has been depleted and I've regressed. Don't worry, I'm not in any danger."

Bokomon finally breathed a sigh of relief. BlackMenteemon was still tugging at his pant leg, asking, "Can I...?"

"Sure, go and make friends with them."

Bogomon naturally wouldn't stop Blackearmon and quickly replied.

After receiving permission from its parents, BlackEarmon happily walked towards Puppymon. As it passed Emu, it hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know why, but I find you really annoying."

It seems that even after dying once, Cherubimon's resentment towards Emu hasn't dissipated.

Emu gave a wry smile, deciding not to bother with BlackEarmon. He placed Patamon next to Puppymon and then left it at that. He'd let the three archangels handle the rest.

At this point, the question-and-answer beast, slow to react, asked, "Who are you referring to?"

That leisurely tone inexplicably angered Bokomon, who instinctively reached out to flick his belt. However, seeing that Questionmon was still holding the Digi-Egg, Bokomon gave up, crossed his arms, and said:

"It's Ophanimon and Seraphimon. They've now reverted back to Puppymon and Patamon."

The question-and-answer beast shook its head, looking shocked: "That's not good..."

Emu smiled and said, "It's alright, everyone's still alive, right? Let's rest for a bit, our adventure has to continue!"
