A different kind of digital world adventure

Taiichi stared wide-eyed at the Digimon before him. Its aura wasn't aggressive, but it was as vast as the forest itself.

【Cornumon, Ultimate Level】

The suddenly appearing Kornumon looked at the scattered Digi-Eggs below, gently shook its head, and a gentle, sacred melody rose with the wind. All the Digi-Eggs were carried into the air by this breeze and disappeared into the horizon.

Meanwhile, after the music played, the ravaged forest was transformed into a vibrant green, with countless trees rising from the ground. In the blink of an eye, it was impossible to tell that the place had once been the site of a battle.

After finishing all that, Cornumon finally had time to deal with MetalGreymon and Taichi Yagami.

It turned its head and looked at the two of them.

To be honest, Tai and his friends were just counterattacking and defending, since the Digimon here attacked them first. But even so, who would have thought they would be so strong, kicking more than a dozen Digimon of the same level like balls, and more importantly, they were getting stronger as the battle went on... At this rate, even some dormant Ultimate Digimon might wake up and come looking for trouble.

Kornumon wasn't worried about Tai and the others being killed by those Digimon. Given their current momentum, it wasn't impossible for them to continue their momentum and evolve again... no, it was practically a certainty. But if that happened, at least half of this forest would be gone.

As the sacred beast that protects the forest, Kornumon cannot tolerate such a situation.

That's why Kornumon appeared beside Taichi to solve the problem.

It wasn't that it was planning to fight Taiichi. Firstly, Taiichi wasn't intentionally destroying the forest, and secondly, it wasn't actually confident that it could defeat MetalGreymon in one go. If it failed to defeat it in one go, and Taiichi seized the opportunity to continue getting stronger, that would be bad.

Kornu lowered its head, and the trees below suddenly began to merge, forming a huge doorway in the blink of an eye.

Then Kornumon quietly looked at Taiichi.

If we can't fight them, can't we at least drive these outsiders out?

I already know how powerful you are, so please stop using your supernatural powers and go out and harm other people!

""

Although Kornumon didn't say anything, Taichi easily caught the disdain in its eyes, which made him scratch his head and chuckle awkwardly.

"Looks like we're disliked... Don't worry, we'll leave right away, we'll leave right away."

Taiichi felt like he had broken someone's window while playing football and was now being confronted by the culprit. Fortunately, the culprit didn't hold the window against him, but he certainly wouldn't dare to stay there and cause trouble any longer. So Taiichi quickly had MetalGreymon devolve, and then, pulling Gatomon and the others along, they fled through the doorway and successfully crossed the forest.

Seeing Tai and the others leave obediently, Kornumon breathed a sigh of relief. Then it looked towards the north of the forest, a hint of worry flashing in its eyes.

The struggle between the forces of darkness and the forces of holiness has reached a fever pitch. Although the two sides are still locked in a stalemate, judging from some clues, the forces of darkness are probably slowly gaining the upper hand.

If the forces of darkness truly take control of the Digital World, then the forests of the Digital World may undergo earth-shattering changes.

However, as the guardian of the forest, it cannot interfere unless a major crisis occurs.

Even if the insect forest becomes a dark forest as a result, it won't work.

Thinking of this, Kornumon sighed.

A time of great turmoil...

Kornu Beast landed in the forest, surrounded by a green light, and then disappeared.

The surrounding Digimon were left staring at each other in bewilderment before slowly retreating after a long while.

Fighting hundreds of Digimon single-handedly and ultimately achieving victory, Tai and his friends' deeds were truly legendary. Even after the event ended, their story continues to resonate with the outside world.

Naturally, the news also reached the ears of the vampire beast.

"Wargomon MetalGreymon? And his invincible partner Taichi Yagami?"

"Damn it, they've gotten stronger again!"

The vampire beast's expression was extremely ugly. He looked at his hands and couldn't help but clench his fists. The vampire beast was furious, but there was also a hint of fear mixed in with his expression.

"They're coming this way! No, in my current state, I'm guaranteed to lose against those two monsters!"

The vampire beast's expression changed several times before it finally made up its mind.

He stood up abruptly from the throne, then turned and walked towards the secret chamber at the back.

The only way to solve our current difficulties is to call in reinforcements.

Upon entering the secret chamber, the vampire beast gazed at the ornate scepter emblem on the platform, took a deep breath, and then slammed its hand down on it.

"Lord Barbamon, I need your help!"

Chapter 34 Vampire Beast: The Advantage Lies With Me

With a call from the vampire beast, a six-pointed star suddenly lit up the scepter on the platform, followed by a surge of darkness rising into the air. Then, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared in the darkness, and a chilling, shrill laugh echoed from within.

"Hahaha... I never expected it would be you calling me, my dear subordinate."

"After betraying me, how dare you contact me?"

"Do you want to wash away the shame of your betrayal with your life?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the vampire beast felt a sharp pain in its heart, as if it were about to explode in the next second.

"Lord Barbamon."

The vampire beast remained calm. Instead of answering Barbamon, it gave a slight bow and went straight to the point.

"I want to discuss a business deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Barbamon's aura instantly shifted. The hazy black mist before Myotismon's eyes dissipated slightly, and then a long-bearded old man with a sharp, shrewish face craned his neck, his pointed nose almost touching Myotismon's forehead. Barbamon's tone was devoid of emotion, yet one could sense the intense desire emanating from it.

Barbamon, Ultimate Level

"explain."

"Help me eliminate the Chosen Children and assist me in ruling the human world. Once it's done, all the wealth of the human world will belong to you, Lord Barbamon!"

"All the wealth?" Barbamon was incredulous, staring intently at Myotismon. "You should know what that means."

“Everything,” Myotismon emphasized, “I understand. Everything of value, tangible and intangible, created by the human world from the past to the present and into the future, is yours!”

"why?"

Barbamon remained silent for a long time before asking, somewhat puzzled,

"Even if you do rule the human world, besides the title of world king, you'll have nothing left?"

“That’s the reputation I need!” Myotismon said decisively. Seeing Barbamon looking at him suspiciously, Myotismon calmly continued, “So, Lord Barbamon, what do you think of this deal?”

“I won’t do business with you without proof.” Barba pondered for a moment. “Produce me with evidence of sufficient value, and I will agree to this deal.”

Barbamon was certain that Myotismon had more schemes up its sleeve for the human world, but it didn't care what Myotismon was planning. In any case, it was determined to get the deal Myotismon wanted to discuss, so the rest were just minor details.

As for how to ensure that the Vampire Beast fulfills its obligations, once the agreement is signed, whether it wants to fulfill its obligations is not up to it.

"I'll take myself up with you," Myotismon said without hesitation upon hearing Barbamon's words.

"enough?"

"can."

Without a word, Barbamon flicked the black mist beside him, and a roll of parchment slowly took shape in front of Myotismon.

Myotismon is indeed worth the price. As the immortal king in the prophecy, Myotismon has extremely strong potential. Becoming an Ultimate level is a sure thing. In fact, Myotismon may have already evolved into an Ultimate level. However, this guy wants more and wants to evolve directly into a Demon Lord or even a stronger Ultimate level in one step, so he has maintained his current state.

Even within Barbamon's collection, a Digimon with the potential to become a Demon Lord is extremely rare.

Barbamon never expected Myotismon to put him on the gambling table, which shows that Myotismon is indeed facing considerable difficulties.

But it didn't matter. No matter how troublesome it was, he absolutely couldn't let such a big deal slip by.

Myotismon took the parchment and read it carefully. As a symbol of greed, Barbamon is greedy by nature and wants to obtain all the treasures in the world. However, it is precisely because of this personality that Barbamon has become the most trustworthy Demon Lord Digimon in the Dark Area. As long as you can offer it something it likes, you can even hire Barbamon to fight for you!

Of course, keeping promises is relative. If you are not strong enough to trade with Barba, even if the deal is completed, the result will be that Barba will devour you and everything you traded for, along with interest.

Of course, if you have enough leverage to confront Barbamon, then Barbamon is relatively easy to talk to.

That's at least what I know about Myotismon.

Having confirmed that the parchment scroll in front of him was largely intact, and that the various pits and holes hidden inside were much the same as before, the Vampire Beast did not hesitate to sign his name.

"and many more."

"How about taking me with you?"

But just then, Myotismon suddenly heard a third voice coming from the secret chamber. Immediately afterward, the six-pointed star on the platform lit up once more, radiating a crimson light. Then, a masked man with horns and a gentlemanly demeanor appeared beside Barbamon. This man looked at Myotismon and smiled, saying…

【Grand Draculmon, Ultimate Level】

"Count me in, okay?"

"Great Dracon!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Barbamon was on high alert, but upon hearing Grand Dracmon's words, its eyes widened instantly as if it wanted to spit fire. It then drew its scepter and pointed it directly at Grand Dracmon's face.

"You dare steal my business!"

"Do you want a fight?"

"Relax, I mean no harm."

Even with such offense, GreatDracmon remained nonchalant. Its voice was full of alluring magnetism. Upon hearing GreatDracmon's voice, even though Barbamon was furious at the moment, its eyes still became somewhat hazy.

However, Barbamon quickly regained his senses and immediately waved his scepter to create a protective barrier for himself. He then looked at Grand Dracomon with even greater apprehension.

Granddramon ignored Barbamon's movements. After calming Barbamon down, it turned its attention to Myotismon.

“I am not interested in your deal. You can still proceed according to the agreement you reached previously.”

"However, if you are able to defeat that destined person, then I hope you can bring him to me."

"In return, I can share the secrets of death-x with you."

"death-x!?"

Before Myotismon could speak, Barbamon screamed first.

"Megadrakumon, are you serious?!"

“Of course it’s true.” Granddramon turned to Barbamon, a hint of amusement in his voice, and asked, “What? You also want to know the secrets of Death-X?”

“Who wouldn’t want to know this?” Barbamon made no attempt to hide his desire. “If you can give me the secret of Death-X, I can also help you bring that chosen child here.”

“You’re not good enough,” the Great Dracov refused with a laugh. “However, if that destined one comes to the Dark Zone, I might be willing to make a deal with you.”

"The destined one?" Barba finally realized. "That child is the destined one?"

“That’s right.” Grand Dracomon looked at Barbamon. “So, how about it, are you in? Want to do this deal?”

Upon hearing this, Barbamon's eyes flickered. "I need to think about that."

It had certainly heard the rumors that only the destined could wield the Sacred Gems, and those powerful and luxurious gems were practically etched into Barbamon's heart. Compared to gems, the so-called Death Evolution was nothing but a hair on Barbamon's head.

However, Barbamon's greedy nature leads it not only to want to control the destined person to obtain the gem, but also to explore the secrets of the Death Evolution. Therefore, Barbamon may have some independent plans going forward.

"Is that child the destined one?"

Regardless of what Barbamon was secretly plotting, Myotismon was also taken aback when he heard Granddramon's words.

"The destined one is... Yagami Taichi?"

"He is not Taichi Yagami from this world, but a chosen child from another world," Grand Dracomon kindly corrected. "So don't worry, the prophecy has not yet been broken."

"But be careful, as the chosen one moves, the vortex of fate will converge on him, and at that time, it is hard to say whether you will still be the immortal king of prophecy."

Myotismon's expression shifted repeatedly. After a long while, he suddenly looked up at Granddramon, Barbamon.

"Lord Dracmon, Lord Barbamon."

"Please lend me a hand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Myotismon signed the parchment without hesitation, and at the same time looked at Grand Dracomon.

"I don't need any contractual obligations, as long as you agree."

"Great Dracon spoke gently," he said, then extended his pale right hand and held it out in front of Myotismon.

“I really want to meet my destined one, so for that purpose, I'll give you a small deposit first.”

Tiny specks of purple light seeped from his fingertips and merged into Myotismon's forehead. Instantly, Myotismon felt its Digicore undergo a fusion.

"Now, you will possess the power to grant death the X evolution."

"Do not disappoint me."

After Dracmon disappeared, Barbamon, having regained its senses, said...

"Then I will also give you a batch of elite soldiers."

"Remember your promise."

After saying that, Barbamon also disappeared in a hurry, preparing to carry out his grand plan.
