Digital Hackers' Memories

Examon's simple basic attack nearly sent Beelzemon, who was also an Ultimate-level monster, to its doom.

Such terror is beyond description. Even compared to the other Royal Knight, the difference between them is like heaven and earth.

Among the Digimon forms possessed by Beelzemon, perhaps only Magnamon, which briefly appeared with the help of "Miracle Armor," was able to withstand this attack head-on and survive.

Whether they will still have the ability to fight afterwards is another matter.

"hold head high!"

Despite being in a berserk and out-of-control state, Examon had clearly noticed Beelzemon, who was able to survive its attacks.

The dignity and arrogance emanating from the Dragon Emperor made Examon unable to ignore that "insignificant being," and it sensed a provocation from Beelzemon.

Rumble…

Thus, having lost its reason and ability to think, Examon followed its usual instincts and once again spread its wings and swooped down from the sky.

And this time, Examon will definitely not use a simple basic attack to deal with Beelzemon.

—Dragon Charge!

Like a meteorite falling from the sky, the friction between the Examon's body and the surrounding air generated astonishing heat, and when this heat reached the ground, even the reinforced concrete buildings seemed to melt.

......................................................................................................

"Dragon Rush?"

Omegamon, which was floating not far away, immediately recognized Examon's ultimate attack.

In Omegamon's memory, the last time Examon used this move, it almost destroyed a nascent Digital World.

Despite its berserk and out-of-control state, Examon seemed to retain some rationality, neither flying into outer space to dive nor using its special abilities to expand its size hundreds of times.

Even a single low-altitude "Dragon Rush" would be more than enough to destroy a human city like Tokyo.

An asteroid with a diameter of no more than ten kilometers was enough to wipe out the dinosaurs, the former rulers of Earth.

It is easy to imagine the terrifying destruction that Examon would cause to this prosperous land when it transformed into a meteorite and fell from the sky.

"Oh no! If we don't stop Examon, the human world will really be destroyed!"

"This is too exaggerated! Is this really a power that a living being could possess?"

"Dragon Emperor... Examon, is this the power that Emperormon coveted?"

Realizing the same thing, the trio standing on Omegamon exclaimed in unison.

No one believed they could survive such a blow, just as no one believed that Examon's attack was merely a simple illusion.

Almost all humans and Digimon in Tokyo saw the "red meteorite" falling from the sky.

The heat that could be clearly felt even in the dead of winter further confirms the authenticity of the "red meteorite".

boom! boom! boom!

Without the slightest hesitation, the troops stationed near Odaiba launched a near-hysterical barrage of artillery fire at Examon.

The series of cannon fire fully demonstrated the powerlessness and despair of the human army when facing a top-tier Ultimate-level monster like Examon.

Faced with the saturation firepower of the human army, the Dragon Emperor, which swooped down, did not even make any defensive moves. The heat generated by the friction of its body surface alone completely melted the shells.

"What should I do now?"

Instinctively clenching her fists, Yuko Kamishiro had never felt so powerless as she had today.

This was the case when facing SwordEmperormon before, and it is the same now when facing Examon descending from the sky.

Before these "gods walking among men," human power appears so insignificant, so insignificant that there is not even the slightest room for resistance.

"There's always a way!"

These words were spoken by Nokia, who was anxious but always hopeful, though even she herself was unsure whether what she held was hope or resentment.

"Maybe...no..."

With a dejected and helpless sigh, Takumi said this, feeling equally powerless.

Even in such a desperate situation, Takumi still had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting for death. The phantoms of Raijinrudemon and Duranmon, who had pushed their power to the limit, suddenly appeared behind him.

Living in a different dimension from the real world, Raijinrodmon and Duranmon are ready to tear through EDEN's firewall and force their way into the material world.

Even if such an outcome would severely injure the two Digimon who were not yet fully prepared for "digitalization," it would be better than watching their partner die in this impact.

"It's not time to despair yet."

At this crucial moment, Omegamon finally spoke again.

"Weren't our actions over the past few days precisely to prepare for this moment to occur?"

The Royal Knights Appear in Chapter Twelve

"Weren't our actions over the past few days precisely to prepare for this moment to occur?"

As Omegamon finished speaking, four streaks of light—gold, red, blue, and white—instantly pierced the sky and flew from the distant horizon toward this place.

Silence! X4

When the four-colored streaks of light arrived at the scene at lightning speed, the trio on Omegamon finally saw their true forms—they weren't "streaks of light" at all, but were clearly four powerful Royal Knights.

"Now is the time to work together!"

The first to appear and speak was that golden "flowing light".

This Royal Knight was none other than the only Holy Knight among the Royal Knights who was not an Ultimate-level being, the Magnamon who possessed the "Miracle Power".

Perhaps because its strength is far inferior to that of the other Royal Knights, Magnamon's mission has always been to sit in the Void Arena with Skullmon and guard the World Tree with their "strongest defense".

It wasn't until the World Tree was corrupted that Magnamon, who did not agree with Skullmon's ideology, came to the human world to find a way to resolve the crisis.

"I have indeed heard the voices of my allies!"

Following closely behind was that red "stream of light".

As the embodiment of redness and destruction, and a side of the legendary evil dragon, Magnamon, Gallantmon can be considered the most humane among the Royal Knights. Naturally, it would not allow Examon to destroy the entire Tokyo.

In fact, Gallantmon was the first Royal Knight, besides Omegamon, to reach a consensus with humans on the concept of peace.

Even Alphamon, which had been hiding in the human world for eight years, had never been able to achieve this.

"The stronger our desire to protect, the stronger we become!"

The third white "stream of light" to appear was Jesmon.

Known as the "Thirteenth Royal Knight," Jesmon is also hailed as the "Savior" among the Royal Knights. Jesmon's ability is to foresee the presence of those in danger and rush to the scene.

This special perceptual ability is somewhat similar to the "supernatural intuition" that homeostasis grants to MetalGreymon, but it is more refined.

Combined with Jesmon's strong will to protect, it can be said to be the Holy Knight who appears most frequently and is closest to ordinary Digimon among the thirteen Royal Knights.

"Lina seems to like this world too, so I can't let it ruin it!"

The last one to appear was the blue "stream of light" that symbolized UltimateVeedramon.

However, unlike the other Royal Knights, the Holy Knight who appears now, although also an UltimateVeedramon, is not one of the Royal Knights.

The true Royal Knight, UltimateVeedramon, had long since disappeared into the endless flow of time and space due to some accident while crossing the "Dimensional Wall".

The UltimateVeedramon that is currently appearing above the Odaiba Building is an alternate dimension counterpart of UltimateVeedramon, or you could say it's an UltimateVeedramon from a parallel universe.

Just a few days ago, when the Royal Knights first appeared in the human world.

In order to catch up with and stop the eight-legged horsemon that was wreaking havoc in the EDEN network, Takumi had to rely on the power of the mysterious Chaos Demon Beast to barely find this Ultimate V-Dragonmon in countless parallel universes.

In the original world of this UltimateVeedramon, the Royal Knights are just a legend, while the greedy demon king who can cause the destruction of the world—Barbamon—is a real existence.

To stop Barbamon's plot, Rina Shinomiya, UltimateVeedramon's partner, has been searching for a comrade who can fight alongside her.

Whether it was luck or misfortune, not long after entering another dimension, Takumi was discovered by Rina Shinomiya, and naturally became her battle partner.

Therefore, after the two of them worked together to resolve the crisis brought by Barbamon, Rina Shinomiya also decided to bring UltraVeedramon to help resolve the digital crisis that occurred in Takumi's world.

"With so much power gathered, we can definitely stop Examon!"

Looking at the four Royal Knights who appeared beside him with a smile, Omegamon breathed a long sigh of relief.

After all, these four royal knights didn't appear here by "coincidence".

It was through the efforts of Takumi and his group over the past few days that these royal knights were able to put aside their different understandings of justice and join hands to fight against the impending crisis.

Besides these four Royal Knights who were willing to stand on the side of humanity, the other Royal Knights were more or less persuaded by Takumi and his group and were willing to remain neutral and wait for the outcome of the whole incident.

In other words, apart from the "destructionists" who are determined to destroy humanity, the other royal knights will at least remain neutral in the face of this crisis.

......................................................................................................

"call……"

Unaware of the gathering of the five Royal Knights, or perhaps indifferent even if they were aware, the Fallen Beast gazed up at the "crimson meteorite" falling from the sky, its heart surprisingly unmoved.

"We really have to use that move."

Slowly opening its arms, Beelzemon ignored the deformed and twisted Behemoth and chose to face Examon's rage head-on.

However, facing the Dragon Emperor's wrath does not mean that the Fallen Hellbeast has given up its belief in resistance.

On the contrary, the naturally unruly Beelzemon is like a resilient blade of grass in the wind; the greater the pressure from Examon, the more excited it becomes.

This is an emotion that Chen Ze could never experience in his human form, and it is also the pride and fighting spirit that he inherited from the Fallen Hell Beast.

No matter if the enemy is the Dragon Emperor or any other Digimon, Beelzemon will not yield.

The stronger the enemy and the greater the gap, the more excited and agitated the Fallen Beast will feel, and this unusual excitement will constantly force out its potential.

Like now...

hum!

A powerful dark force swirled in from all directions, then poured wildly into the body of the Fallen Hellmon.

Just like a true gluttonous demon king, the dark forces that gathered from all directions were devoured by the Fallen Hell Beast and transformed into its strength in a special way.

The Gluttony Flame, visible to the naked eye, manifested once more, and Beelzemon's body underwent a noticeable transformation during this process.

"Witness my true power! You self-proclaimed 'saviors' royal knights!"

****************************

PS: I originally wanted to write more about the story of these four royal knights.

However, considering the situation with the Valhalla server volume, it seems that most people don't like this kind of original plot, so I've just given a brief summary, while keeping the perspective focused on the protagonist.

Chapter Thirteen: Fallen Hellbeast - Gale Form

"Witness my true power! You self-proclaimed 'saviors' royal knights!"

As the mocking voice of the Fallen Hellbeast echoed through the night, the immense dark power materialized, revealing its previously unrecognized potential.

call!

First, a pair of the largest, jet-black wings slowly extended from the shoulder blades of the Fallen Hellbeast.

Unlike other Devil-type Digimon, Beelzemon's wings are not fleshy bat wings, but rather angelic feathers.

However, compared to those angel wings that radiate holy light, these wings, manifested from pure dark power, are genuine "fallen angel wings".

Every feather, every outline, is clearly visible...

Especially the deep darkness seemed to engulf everything known, drawing people in completely at first glance at those wings.

These Fallen Angel Wings are not simply matter, but a product of the mixture of matter, energy, and data, and are also the "source of energy" for the Fallen Hell Beast at this moment.

call!

After the pair of fallen angel wings on its shoulder blades took shape, the immense dark power continued to pour madly into the body of the Fallen Hellbeast, as if there were no end in sight.

And so, as the first pair of fallen angel wings unfolded, the Fallen Hell Beast's lumbar spine began to extend outward, unfurling a second pair of jet-black wings.

Unfortunately, just as the second pair of Fallen Angel wings were halfway unfurled, the Fallen Angel Beast's body seemed to reach some kind of limit.

The digital core, which had been devouring the dark power like a glutton, suddenly stopped absorbing power at this critical moment, and even showed a tendency to spit out the energy it had just obtained.

It's fortunate that Beelzemon possesses the ability of "Gluttony," otherwise, its brutal method of devouring dark power would have been enough to completely destroy a normal Digicore.

Even so, the artificial black digital core had reached its limit and could no longer absorb or digest more external energy in the short term.

Is this the limit?

With this thought flashing through its mind, the Fallen Hellbeast did not forcibly continue absorbing the surrounding dark power, but instead used it as a medium to activate a program it had recently written.
