I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph... Chosen child, you must be wondering how long I can stop now."

“That’s right. The range of time I can stop is not large, only within a 20-meter radius centered on me. At the same time, I cannot stop your thoughts as well. I am a lower-level replacement for the real Zavarudo.”

"But it's okay, this is enough!"

"Even a small-scale time stop is enough for me to defeat you!"

"Once I devour your data and possess your power, I will be able to stop even larger and wider stretches of time!"

"Become a part of my power, become one with me! Chosen child!"

The clock beast burst into laughter, swung its hammer, came up to Eriri, and then slammed it down hard!

I didn't feel any pain because time hadn't started flowing yet.

But... the power has already been applied to Eriri, and Eriri's time is now... being devoured little by little!

The green digital soul flowed out from Eriri's body and shot straight into the sky. The pillar of light gathered in a place invisible in the sky, and then formed another pillar of light that enveloped Clockmon's body!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!! It's here, it's here, it's here!!!"

"This is... the power of the Ten Warriors' Souls! So strong, so strong!! I can feel it, my body is filled with power!"

The power of the Clock Beast is to devour time, stealing it from a person's current moment. The person whose time is stolen will slowly grow up, from adolescence to adulthood, and from adulthood to old age, which is the so-called progressive relationship.

However, this rule probably only applies to normal people. Digimon evolution is the accumulation of data. They devour other data, obtain other data, and then begin to evolve. If a Digimon is hit by a Clockmon without accumulating data, it can only have its time consumed and cannot evolve.

Therefore, Clockmon's power is a natural counter to Digimon.

That's how it is now.

Eriri could feel the power of her Fire Warrior Soul being stolen little by little, and her body was slowly growing... She was about 1.6 meters tall in high school, and now she'd grown a bit more, and her measurements...

Damn it! Why are my measurements still the same even though I've grown up?!

Why haven't my measurements changed at all?! What are you doing?! Why aren't you growing up?! Grow up already?!

Looking at her motionless, unchanging body, Eriri gritted her teeth fiercely. If she could move, she probably would have crushed them.

Before, she could use the excuse that she would continue to grow, but now, with the stark reality before her, even Eriri can no longer deceive herself...

Her life was destined to be a story of heartbreak...

No! That's not right! This can't be true!

The Clock Beast only absorbs time; it doesn't say its body will change along with it! Yes, its body remains unchanged!

I haven't grown taller. The feeling I had just experienced was just my imagination. I can still grow taller, and I still have a long way to go!

Yes, that's it, that must be it!!!

With immense willpower, Eriri once again deceived herself.

Then, she looked at the clock beast that was still devouring her power and was hopelessly immersed in it.

A burning flame suddenly ignited within me!

Clock Beast!!!

Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!!

Playing with a girl's body (referring to letting time consume her body and make her grow), making a girl cry (referring to presenting the harsh realities to her)...

My mother once said that the two things a man should never do are waste food and make a girl cry!

Clockmon, as a Digimon, how could you offend such a pure and kind girl like this!

Unforgivable... Absolutely unforgivable!

What about the power to stop time?

So what if time is swallowed up?

A mere stop in time... a mere devouring of time... a girl's anger is not so easily appeased!

Burn, heart! Burn, will!

Let the Clock Beast see the true nature of girls!

"call!!!"

As if a strong wind had blown by, the fire god beast, which should have been dull and lifeless, suddenly burst into flames.

The powerful crimson flames burned away the surrounding colors, and the Fire God Beast, which should have been dull and lifeless, regained its color.

Light rippled within, warmth flowed within, and Eriri, having regained control of her body, clenched her fists.

"Haa ...

The warrior's spirit burned fiercely, and the dragon-type fire warrior's spirit shone brightly under Eriri's will. The digital soul that should have been devoured began to transform... The green data suddenly turned into blazing flames!

Clockmon, which was devouring the digital soul, was instantly engulfed by flames.

The terrifying temperature and immense power instantly inflicted severe trauma on the Clock Beast, causing it to instinctively let out a scream!

"Gahhhhh!!"

"What is this?! What is this?! It's so hot, so hot!!!"

Clockmon frantically patted its body with its four hands, trying to extinguish the flames, but... how could the flames of Vulcanmon be extinguished so easily?

Before it could extinguish the flames, a wave of heat swept over it. It instinctively raised its hand to block the hot air, and then subconsciously looked around.

—What came into its view was flames, a blazing and vivid flame that engulfed its surroundings and blocked its vision. The whole world seemed to be swallowed up by the flames!

Then...standing before it was a beast hotter than the flames on its body, hotter than the surrounding temperature, like an exposed lion...the Fire God Beast!!!

What's this?

Why did it turn out like this? My own power... I didn't devour her Digital Soul, I didn't devour her time. Shouldn't she be extremely weak now? Even if she did break through my time-stopping ability, let alone break through it, she shouldn't have such strong power!

Why is this happening?!

Clockmon couldn't understand what was happening before its eyes, couldn't understand why its power had been broken, why the Chosen Children before it had such a burning and high fighting spirit... why... why was she so angry?

What exactly did I do?

Seeing those exposed eyes, a sense of fear rose within the Clock Beast...

"Wait, wait a minute, chosen one, I... I think we can talk, talk..."

"There's nothing more to talk about, Clock Beast. Go down and apologize to all the flat-chested girls!!!"

"—Fire Dragon Blazing Fist!!!"

Chapter 111 Give Me a Normal Evolution, V-Beast

Crimson flames enveloped his fist as the Fire God Beast unleashed a powerful punch with all its might.

The fist, carrying flames, slammed into the Clock Beast's face with unparalleled force, sending it crashing violently to the ground of the building.

The towering building, which was ten or twenty meters tall, shook violently. Cracks spread rapidly outward from the spot where the clock beast had fallen, and within a short time, they covered the entire building.

The gray color disappeared, and the imposter Zavarudo who came out to celebrate also faded away, and the surrounding colors returned to their original state.

Clockmon fell into a deep coma, and the digital code representing Clockmon's password appeared on its body.

Eriri took out her Digivice and said fiercely to the unconscious Clockmon, "You filthy and evil soul, let me purify you with this Digivice! Digivice, scan!"

The Digivice scanned the digital code, and the flowing digital code was quickly scanned by the Digivice. The Clockmon lying on the ground also disappeared.

"Go inside and purify your evil heart!"

Looking at the Digivice, Eriri still felt a little unsatisfied and said this.

With the disappearance of the Clockmon, Eriri's stolen time and digital codes returned to her body.

His strength and condition quickly returned to their peak.

"That should be about right..."

"Those whose time was stolen should also be able to come back to life..."

After putting away the Digimon, Eriri dispersed the flames around her, then went to the edge of the building and looked down, only to find that countless people had gathered around her.

I was a bit too rough with my strength and didn't control it properly, causing a huge explosion... I need to get out of here quickly.

Fortunately, although Eriri was very angry, she still managed to vent most of her power on the clock beast using her martial arts skills, and didn't have much energy to put on the building.

If this isn't controlled properly, this building will probably collapse.

Feeling somewhat relieved, Eriri quickly looked away and then jumped from the top of one building to another.

Before the red figure was stained with flames, it did not attract much attention. Even those who were staring at the sky only saw a fleeting shadow before it disappeared. When they came to their senses, they found that there was nothing around them and thought it was just their imagination.

And so, Eriri quickly returned to her room.

She carefully closed the window and door, deactivated her transformation, looked around to make sure no one had noticed her, then breathed a long sigh of relief and lay down on her bed.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear your own breathing and heartbeat.

To be honest, although Eriri won the battle just now, she felt that a large part of her victory was due to the effect of her own aura.

Logically, someone whose body is struck by a Clockmon and whose time is stolen should age rapidly, and their DigiSoul should be quickly devoured. I've been devoured for so long in the forbidden time and nothing happened to me, and in the end, I even got into trouble because of my small breasts... Pshaw, I'm not small-breasted!

Finally, driven by a desire to protect others, he unleashed his full power and defeated his opponent...

This is entirely due to the protagonist's halo helping them.

If this happened again... Eriri doesn't know if she could handle it...

Eriri unconsciously placed her hand on her bare chest and fell into silence.

She confirmed once again that even if she had to do it all over again, she could still smash the clock beast's head!

—Clock Beast, your crimes are heinous!!!

It's infuriating! My mother's are so big and perfect, why am I so small and barren? I'm also my mother's daughter, why didn't I inherit her genes?!

How awful! How awful! How awful!!

Eriri shed tears of sorrow...

While Eriri was grappling with her own injury, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows in Mrs. Sayuri's room. It flew swiftly like an arrow, as if it were about to attack Mrs. Sayuri.

However, as it approached Mrs. Sayuri, the white, snake-like figure expertly coiled its body around Mrs. Sayuri's neck.
