Digimon: I really didn't want to be the Digimon Emperor!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

His arm blurred into afterimages, and his lightsaber danced so tightly that it formed a dazzling barrier of light!

The incoming stones, asphalt blocks, and metal fragments were precisely and swiftly shredded and sent flying! The movements were fluid and graceful, full of the beauty of power and speed!

However, the shockwave still affected the onlookers, causing chaos and disarray!

Nevertheless, the survivors were amazed as they looked at the white werewolf knight blocking their way.

Holy crap! So handsome!

"What kind of Digimon is this? I've never seen it before!"

"This swordsmanship! Absolutely amazing!"

The soldiers rushed over in a panic. Seeing that the crowd was in a sorry state but no one was seriously injured, they breathed a sigh of relief. Then they looked at Cheng Yuan, who was standing with his sword sheathed, with a puzzled expression.

On a sudden impulse, Cheng Yuan spoke first, using the authoritative voice of a wild wolf to "righteously" rebuke: "Why did you take so long to arrive! How did you do the evacuation work? If I hadn't arrived just in time, these people would be in danger! If you neglect this again, you'll be in for a disciplinary action! Quickly! Get all the remaining civilians out of the combat zone immediately!"

His imposing appearance and authoritative tone, coupled with his stunning swordsmanship just now, immediately intimidated the soldiers. They assumed he was a special Digimon partner of a high-ranking officer and immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir! (His partner)! We will carry out the order immediately!"

Soldiers and sheriffs began to more forcefully disperse the remaining crowd.

Cheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. When he turned back to look for the silver-haired old man, he found that the conspicuous silver-haired figure had disappeared in the bustling crowd.

Suppressing his doubts, Cheng Yuan took the opportunity to move closer to the center of the battlefield.

Based on the information about the little dog beast and the scene before him, he had roughly guessed what had happened.

This ferocious ape-like beast is very likely the same special black ball beast from Savage Valley!

According to his initial estimate, the Black Ball Beast would continue to grow into a Stubborn Monkey Beast in Green Fruit Mountain of Savage Valley, gradually evolving to maturity and becoming the leader of Savage Valley.

But for some reason, it ended up here and was mistakenly transformed into this form by the uncontrolled evolutionary light of the Ancient Beast.

After all, the only thing that can make a weak Digimon suddenly evolve across stages is probably Gullmon.

He roughly reconstructed the situation and made a decision in his mind.

First of all, Gu Le Shou must be saved, as he is his lucky charm and benefactor.

Secondly, since Etemon and Puppymon answered the call and came here, they must have wanted to save it. However, given its current state, the extent of the damage it has caused, and the fact that it is surrounded by two powerful Ultimate-level Digimon, the situation is really difficult to resolve!

Just as Cheng Yuan was racking his brains for a solution, another unexpected event occurred on the battlefield!

A Rapid Fireball missile launched by Rabimon was slapped away by Etemon, changing its trajectory and veering off course towards the direction where Cheng Yuan and Puppymon were hiding!

An attack from a Perfect-level Digimon! Even a stray bullet is no joke!

"Watch out!" Cheng Yuan's pupils contracted, and he instantly pulled the little dog beast tightly into his arms, crouching low and crossing his twin swords in front of him to block! The [Victor of Light] lightsaber erupted with unprecedentedly brilliant light, and the holy amethyst also shone brightly!

Swish-!

Two intersecting sword lights flashed by like lightning!

The [Rapid Firepower] missile, containing terrifying energy, was precisely sliced ​​in two! The missile debris, now powerless, was skillfully guided by Cheng Yuan using the blade of his sword and flung into an empty open space behind him!

Boom! Boom!

His lightning-fast and precise swordsmanship allowed him and the little dog to dodge the attack, but it also revealed their position near the battlefield.

"Hmm? What kind of Digimon is that?" On the rooftop of a distant building, in the temporary command post, Lin Tao, the Dog God General, instantly locked his sharp gaze on the unfamiliar white figure.

“I’ve never seen this Digimon before. Its swordsmanship is quite good. Luckily, it’s not injured!” Peng Bo said.

"It seems to be protecting a baby in its lap?"

The Dog God General and the Vice Dean of the Demon Academy also noticed Cheng Yuan, their brows furrowing slightly, but they had no time to worry about anything else; the threat from the ape beast was their top priority.

Most importantly, the ape-beast's pure black eyes suddenly locked onto Cheng Yuan!

The Etemon (Black) abruptly shifted its pure black eyes from Rabimon and Inugamimon, fixing them firmly on Cheng Yuan! Especially when it sensed the pure light and holy aura emanating from Cheng Yuan and Inugamimon, it was particularly glaring to the now darkened Etemon, and a strange, even more violent rage surged into its heart!

It opened its massive maw, and a [Dark Necromancer Orb] rapidly condensed, its destructive energy aimed at Cheng Yuan and the puppy beast!

At this critical moment!

The little dog, which was being held tightly in Cheng Yuan's arms, suddenly poked its head out, landed on the ground, and used the skill [Little Dog Roar] on the terrifying behemoth!

"Wang-"

The unique interrupt skill, 【Puppy Roar】, transformed into a golden sound wave that pierced through the deafening explosion and roar, clearly reaching the ears of the ape beast.

The [Dark Necrosphere] skill was interrupted and quickly dissipated, causing the ape-beast to freeze abruptly.

That familiar [dog's bark]... awakens that incredibly warm yet slightly awe-inspiring aura etched deep within the data core...

His raging crimson eyes rippled violently, as if a pebble had been thrown into a lake, and memories of Savage Valley surged forth...

Savage Valley…the warm sunshine…the figure that fed it…and…the little beast that always perched on its head, radiating a sacred aura that made it feel safe and longed for…Teacher…

The red eyes, like fading ink, gradually faded, revealing their original, clear blue.

Hot tears gushed from his huge, dark eye sockets, hitting the ground with a "plop plop" sound.

Like a child who has done something wrong, suffered all kinds of grievances, and finally met their parents, it let out a low and sorrowful sob.

Teacher... have you come to pick me up...?

Chapter 200 Tail-cutting

Looking at the ape-beast's enormous teardrop, Cheng Yuan felt as if his heart was being clenched.

It recognized the little dog beast! The "teacher" who gave it hope and warmth in Savage Valley!

We must save it! We absolutely cannot allow it to be destroyed here by the two divine generals, or captured and studied by the association!

But how to save them?

In front of two master-level tamers and their Ultimate-level partners, rescue an Ultimate-level Digimon that has caused enormous damage right under their noses.

This is simply a fantasy!

Cheng Yuan's brain was working at lightning speed.

Forcibly taking it is definitely not going to work. The only breakthrough might lie in the ape-beast itself and its abnormal state!

Just then, Lin Tao, the Dog God General, and Peng Bo, the Vice Dean, also noticed the unusual behavior of the ape beast from afar.

It suddenly stopped attacking, looked in a certain direction with tears in its eyes, and this unusual behavior made them even more vigilant.

"It's eyeing those two unfamiliar Digimon! Is one a Champion and the other a Rookie? Daring to risk its life in the center of the battlefield, doesn't it have a brain?" Vice Dean Peng Bo judged. Driven by his instinct to protect his "friendly forces," he immediately ordered, "Lavimon! Save them!"

Rabimon instantly condensed a beam of light called the "Golden Triangle" to disintegrate the enemy, which stood between Cheng Yuan and the other Digimon and Etemon. Then, Inugamimon rushed over, intending to take away these Digimon that had "strayed into the battlefield".

This was originally a well-intentioned protection, but the sudden disintegrating ray once again stimulated the ape-beast's sensitive and fragile nerves! It thought that the ray was going to attack it, or attack its "teacher" whom it had just reunited with!

The brief glimmer of clarity that had just emerged was instantly overwhelmed by immense fear and misunderstanding!

"Roar!!!" The rage that had just subsided regained its dominance, and the crimson desire for destruction once again stained its eyes!

It swung its giant paw, grabbed a large tree, and slammed it at Rabimon. Its emotions became even more frenzied, and it began to attack the approaching Rabimon and Inugamimon with a frenzy!

The battle erupted again, and it was even more intense than before! The Emerald Beast had completely gone berserk!

Its attacks on Rabimon and Inugamimon were incredibly fierce, a desperate, all-or-nothing style of fighting. However, it used its massive body to block most of the aftershocks of the battle in the direction where Cheng Yuan and Inugamimon were located.

Taking advantage of the moment when the apemon was distracted by the two perfect-level creatures, the ancient beast, which had been clinging tightly to the edge of its ear canal, finally found an opportunity. Its little paw loosened, and it was flung out by the apemon's violent movements!

"Gurgle gurgle—!" The Ancient Music Beast let out a terrified scream, waving its arms and legs in the air.

"Ancient Music Beast!" Cheng Yuan's eyes sharpened, and the Wild Wolf Beast's [Light Speed ​​Movement] instantly erupted!

Like a white lightning bolt flying close to the ground, he caught the ancient beast precisely just before it crashed to the ground, allowing it to land steadily.

"Gurgle!!" Gu Le Beast, still shaken, grabbed Cheng Yuan's armor, its big eyes filled with tears. It pointed at the ferocious ape beast, then at its own little head, gesturing anxiously and muttering words like "mistaken evolution" and "not intentional."

"I know, it's not your fault." Cheng Yuan put it and the little dog together, then turned his gaze back to the battlefield.

As he watched the ape-beast's massive tail thrashing wildly, each slam causing a tremor, and the dark ring at its tip radiating a powerful aura of darkness, a bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind!

The source is very likely this Dark Ring! It continuously provides dark energy, distorting the mind of the Stubborn Monkey Beast, amplifying its dark side, and may even provide the energy to maintain this flawed evolutionary form!

He suddenly remembered a certain anime.

“Yes, cut off its tail, and the source of the dark data will be cut off.” The voice of “Mo” appeared in his mind at the right time.

But how can this be achieved at this distance and at this time? It requires the cooperation of those two, at least a temporary ceasefire!

Cheng Yuan immediately raised the arc light machine on his left wrist.

Thanks to Shanghai's strong real-world signal coverage, his arc light machine can receive signals on special frequency bands even at the edge of the digital space.

He tried to search for and connect to the signal of the strongest beast tamer in the vicinity—without a doubt, it was the signal of the Dog God General Lin Tao!

Soon, an encrypted communication request was sent.

In the command center on the rooftop of the building, Lin Tao's Digimon suddenly received an unfamiliar communication request. He frowned, but still answered it:

"The Dog God General, is that Senior Lin Tao?"

"Who are you?" Lin Tao asked in a deep voice, but his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the white werewolf Digimon in the distance.

"Who I am is unimportant. What's important is that I have a way to stop that ape-beast from causing destruction, and even restore it to normal." Cheng Yuan spoke rapidly. "If I succeed, could you please be merciful and let it leave?"

"Leave?" Lin Tao's voice instantly turned cold. "It caused such enormous damage and disturbed the entire city. You think you can just let it leave? Impossible! It must be eliminated or contained!"

Cheng Yuan had anticipated this outcome, so he immediately changed his approach, even adding a hint of threat to his tone: "What if I said that if we don't try my method, it will only become more insane, and might even choose to self-destruct its core? Can you, God General, bear the consequences of a Perfect-level Digimon self-destructing in the city center? I'm just offering a solution that might reduce losses and casualties!"

Lin Tao remained silent on the other end, clearly weighing the pros and cons rapidly.

He glanced at the expanding evacuation zone and estimated economic losses displayed on the screen next to him, and a vein throbbed on his forehead.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "...Fine! I'll give you a chance to try! But you'd better actually have a way! Also, who are you? The tamer of that white werewolf Digimon?"

He looked around at the buildings and rooftops, trying to find the wolf beast tamer.

"You can think of it that way," Cheng Yuan replied ambiguously, then added, "Please ask your partner to stop for now and give me a chance to get closer!"

After a quick exchange, Lin Tao and Peng Bo, despite their doubts, issued the order: "Rabimon, Inugami, retreat temporarily, cease attacking, and remain on alert!"

Although the two Ultimate-level Digimon were puzzled, they still retreated as instructed, stopped their fierce attack, and cautiously surrounded Etemon.

The battlefield suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

All that remained were the heavy, disordered breathing of the ape-beast.

It seemed confused by the enemy's sudden cessation of attack, its crimson eyes scanning its surroundings, still maintaining a high degree of aggression.

Cheng Yuan took a deep breath and gently placed the puppy beast and the ancient music beast behind a billboard.

"Wait for me here."

Alone, he walked step by step toward the behemoth that was lost in confusion and rage.

His actions immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The two master-level beast tamers, the soldiers in the distance, and even the rear command personnel watching via drone all held their breath as they watched the mysterious white werewolf Digimon, wondering what it was up to.

Cheng Yuan walked to a relatively safe distance and stopped.

He raised his head, looking into those crimson eyes filled with pain and chaos, and slowly removed the visor from the wolf-beast helmet.

The visor retracted upwards, revealing Cheng Yuan's face, which still carried a hint of youthful innocence yet possessed an exceptionally resolute expression.

"..." In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to fall silent for a second.

Lin Tao and Peng Bo, who were on the rooftop of the building, suddenly widened their eyes, almost thinking they were hallucinating!

“That…that’s…a human?! That young man?!” Bloomberg exclaimed in shock.

"Wild Wolf Beast...the beast tamer himself is inside?! How is this possible?!" Lin Tao was also filled with disbelief.

Humans directly transforming into Digimon? This completely contradicts existing knowledge of Digimon evolution!

But then, Lin Tao suddenly remembered something.

Recent highly confidential internal reports have mentioned that in a certain dark area, there seems to have been a mysterious tamer who can transform into an unknown Digimon form, codenamed "Kirin"... Could it be that this young man in front of us also possesses a similar power?

Huge questions lingered in their minds, but now they couldn't get any answers.

Cheng Yuan ignored the shock in the distance. His gaze was fixed on the ape-beast, and he called out in as calm and familiar a voice as possible, "Little guy! Do you remember me? Savage Valley, Green Fruit Mountain! The one who gave you the biscuits! Do you remember the story of the journey to the West?"

The ape-beast's massive body shuddered violently, its crimson eyes fixed on Cheng Yuan's face, and it uttered a confused and painful gurgling sound from its throat.

Fragmented memories once again assaulted its chaotic consciousness.
