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

……

The Rookie-level Digimon responded enthusiastically, their various skills weaving into a dazzling barrage of firepower in the air. Dark Gears exploded one after another, but many still managed to break through the defenses and pierce the body of ZombieSatanmon.

"You ignorant fools!" The roar of the zombie Satanmon shook the ground, its skeletal face contorted with rage. It had intended to crush these troublesome Rookie-level Digimon, but was thwarted by the desperate attacks of several Champion-level Digimon.

The Zombie Satan Beast roared and swung its claws, unleashing a torrent of viscous dark energy. Although its evolution was not yet complete, the power displayed by this semi-complete Zombie Satan Beast was already terrifying.

Cheng Yuan watched helplessly as the giant chicken beast of Xu Xin's team was swatted away by a single claw; its prized petrified feathers were as fragile as paper in the face of overwhelming power. The armored beast attempted to withstand the attack with its steel body, but was lifted by the zombie Satan beast with one hand and slammed to the ground like trash. The eagle beast spread its wings and swooped down to rescue them, only to have a jet-black energy beam pierce its wings, sending it plummeting with a mournful cry.

"This power... is terrifying..." Cheng Yuan unconsciously swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

These normally imposing Champion-level Digimon were utterly vulnerable before ZombieSatanmon. Only DarkGreymon managed to hold on thanks to the defensive enhancements provided by Xu Xin's Arc Machine, but each clash left it with horrifying wounds, while the Arc Machine, constantly operating at overload, had already burned Xu Xin's right hand bright red.

“If this continues…” Cheng Yuan bit his lower lip hard until he tasted rust. The little beast in his arms was panting heavily, and the light of the Holy Ring had dimmed considerably, but it was still relentlessly releasing Holy Light Bullets, and had already successfully intercepted dozens of Dark Gears.

Cheng Yuan stumbled through the wreckage of musical instruments scattered on the ground and rushed towards the center stage. He found the "beast wall" formed by Star Beasts and Pick Beasts and shielded the unconscious Yun Yao in the middle. The girl's pale face still had traces of stage makeup glitter, and her eyelashes cast delicate shadows under the lights.

"Take her away quickly!" Star Beast's voice was filled with anxiety; its golden body was already covered in wounds.

"Pick! Pick!"

Cheng Yuan carefully lifted Yun Yao's neck and knees; the girl was even lighter than he had imagined.

Just as he turned around, Yun Yao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hazy eyes met his gaze, but quickly closed weakly again.

Below the stage, the battle situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse. Cheng Yuan watched as one Champion-level Digimon after another fell to the onslaught of ZombieSatanmon, his heart pounding in his chest.

He carried Yun Yao through the chaotic crowd until he saw paramedics in white coats, at which point he breathed a sigh of relief and handed her over to them.

"Please." Cheng Yuan said briefly, then turned around and summoned his little dog beast. Although the light of the Holy Ring was dim, his azure eyes remained resolute.

They must race against time; every intercepted Dark Gear could change the course of the battle.

However, when he looked back at the main battlefield inside the protective shield, he was shocked.

Just as DarkGreymon was about to unleash its Super Corrosive Cold Flame, Death Bone Claw grabbed its neck! The Super Flame was about to erupt from its throat!

At this critical moment, a piercing buzzing sound suddenly came from the dome of the arena.

Cheng Yuan looked up and saw a silver figure streaking across the sky like a meteor, the spiral sword gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

“That is…” Cheng Yuan’s eyes widened.

"A beast with five equal strength!"

A silver lightning bolt ripped through the sky, and Andromon descended from the heavens with the force of thunder!

The right-arm spiral sword struck the Death Bone Claw precisely at its joint, blinding sparks accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal snapping echoing throughout the arena. The severed bone claw crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

As the smoke cleared, Cheng Yuan finally saw the stunning mechanical warrior making its grand entrance—its streamlined silver armor gleamed with a cold metallic sheen in the sunlight, the red five-pointed star sheriff's badge in the center of its breastplate shone brightly, and the spiral sword on its right arm spun rapidly, emitting a chilling hum.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, DarkTyrannomon unleashed a torrent of super cold flames that had been building up in its throat, instantly incinerating the two lurking Calamitymon into data dust.

"You've come at just the right time." Xu Xin's voice came from not far away, and a hint of relief could be seen on Xu Xin's usually calm face.

"Sheriff Digimon Andromon, officially taking over the battlefield." The Mech Warrior's voice came through the built-in speaker, each syllable carrying the cold, hard texture unique to metal, yet containing an undeniable authority.

"Gatling gun!" Andromon's left arm armor suddenly unfolded, spitting out ferocious tongues of fire, accurately shooting down the horde of Impmon and Dark Gear that were darting around in the sky.

Cheng Yuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "A Perfect-level Andromon... This is truly a godsend."

But then he thought of his impression of this "King of 50/50" from his past life, and pondered to himself: "Delaying time is definitely not a problem, but to completely defeat the zombie Satanmon is probably..." He recalled the classic scene in the anime where Andromon could fight any opponent to a standstill.

As Cheng Yuan had predicted, the battle between Andromon and Zombie Satanmon quickly became a stalemate.

Each collision between the Spiral Sword and the Death Bone Claw exploded in the air with dazzling sparks, while the clash between missiles and dark energy created a spectacular display of energy fireworks under the dome.

The two Digimon moved so fast it was dazzling; the audience could only catch glimpses of two afterimages, one silver and one blood-red, constantly intersecting, separating, and colliding in the center of the arena.

In the audience, the still-shaken tamers raised their Digivices to scan the suddenly appearing mechanical warrior, only to find that the encyclopedia showed "data not included".

This mysterious silver warrior was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the terrifying zombie Satan Beast, rekindling the flames of hope in the desperate crowd.

"As expected of the king of 50/50" Cheng Yuan had just sighed in his heart when he saw Andro's breastplate suddenly crack open, revealing two rows of gleaming missile launchers.

"Justice Missiles!" Two specially designed missiles, trailing blue flames, soared into the sky, accurately striking the last Calamity Beast. The violent explosion shook the entire area.

"Continue the evacuation! Maintain order!" Zhao Zheng's deep voice resounded throughout the area through Andromon's external system: "Proceed according to plan."

Xu Xin suddenly turned around and looked at the woman behind him who was silently watching the battle.

Cheng Yuan had noticed her before—she was wearing an elegant horse-face skirt, and her snow-white stand-up collar shirt accentuated her ethereal气质. Only then did Cheng Yuan notice that, despite the chaotic scene, her clothes were completely spotless.

"Sister Xiaochun, it's time for the Twelve Divine Generals to close the net."

Xu Xin's voice carried a respect that Cheng Yuan had never heard before.

The woman called "Sister Xiaochun" smiled slightly, like a plum blossom just beginning to bloom—reserved yet full of power. She slowly took out an antique-looking Tyrannosaurus Rex from her bosom, the ancient runes engraved on its body swirling with a mysterious halo under the light.

"Go, Jade Rabbit!"

Chapter 76 Complete Form Chaos, Cheng Yuan's Crisis

The ancient-style Tyrannosaurus Rex machine shone with dazzling light, and the Jade Rabbit Beast gracefully appeared under the moonlight.

The bright moonlight poured down like water, instantly dispelling the dark energy that had been lurking in the music square.

Cheng Yuan narrowed his eyes and saw the silver-white figure land lightly—its long rabbit ears stood up high, and its gray and white fur trembled slightly in the energy fluctuations. Despite its cute appearance, its crimson-gold eyes were sharp as knives, exuding an inviolable majesty.

"That's... the Jade Rabbit Beast of the Twelve Divine Generals?" someone exclaimed in a low voice not far away.

Cheng Yuan turned to look at the source of the voice: "What are the Twelve Divine Generals?"

"The twelve strongest Digimon in the Eastern Kingdom".

Wang Lin was standing beside him at some point. Her flying insect beast was severely injured and lying on the ground, panting against the wall. "Each one has the strength of a fully grown beast. They usually guard the dark area and rarely go out."

Cheng Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze refocused on the Jade Rabbit Beast. He saw its ears twitching slightly, as if it were receiving some kind of command.

"Sister Xiaochun, please." Xu Xin's voice came from not far away.

The woman known as "Sister Xiaochun"—one of the high-ranking members of the Beast Tamer Association—nodded slightly and waved her hand: "Jade Rabbit Beast, suppress it!"

The Jade Rabbit Beast's figure suddenly blurred, and the next second it appeared in front of the Zombie Satan Beast.

"Roar!"

The roar of the zombie Satan beast was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire music plaza.

Its still-evolving body data flow fluctuated violently, and the black core on its chest flickered erratically as if short-circuited, switching wildly between gray and pitch black.

"Get out of my way!" it roared, swinging its bone claws to deflect Andromon's spiral sword.

The bat wings, formed by the black mist, suddenly flapped, stirring up a foul wind that carried a putrid stench, causing the surrounding seats to sway and tilt.

"Ten Thousand Axe Slash!"

The Jade Rabbit Beast's snow-white ears suddenly stood up, and its palms gleamed silver in the moonlight, instantly transforming into two giant silver-gray axes attached to its arms.

Its figure transformed into a silver lightning bolt, weaving around the zombie Satanic beast at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow. Each flash of the axe left a scorched mark on the evil bone staff, filling the air with a pungent, burnt smell.

Andromon seized the opportunity and quickly retreated. Its chest armor popped open with a "click," revealing two rows of neat missile launch ports.

A calm, mechanical voice announced: "Justice Missiles, launch all missiles!"

Two missiles, trailing blue flames, roared out and precisely blocked all the retreat routes of the zombie Satan Beast.

The explosion sent flames shooting into the sky, and the shockwave blew all the debris off the ground.

The zombie Satan was violently thrown to the ground, and a shocking crack appeared on its hideous demon mask.

"Beautiful!" Cheng Yuan clenched his fist excitedly, his knuckles turning white. The little dog beast also waved its paws excitedly, its sacred ring glowing slightly with excitement.

The zombie Satan Beast struggled to get up, but its incompletely evolved body clearly couldn't keep up with its consciousness.

The data flow beneath the mask was chaotic, and its movements became sluggish and rigid.

In that brief moment, the Jade Rabbit Beast's axe light poured down like a silver river, precisely slicing off a corner of its right bat wing.

"His-"

Blood, like a black mist, spurted out and corroded the ground, leaving small pits that emitted black smoke.

The zombie Satan Beast let out a painful roar, and thick black liquid kept seeping from the cracks.

Suddenly, it slammed its claws heavily into the ground, and dark energy spread outwards like a tsunami. The ground was torn apart, and black flames spewed out from the cracks, turning a ten-meter radius into a sea of ​​fire.

Cheng Yuan quickly picked up the little dog and retreated rapidly, the scorching air almost burning his cheeks.

"Is this what battle at its full potential is like...?"

The Jade Rabbit Beast's fighting style is a blend of strength and gentleness, sometimes dodging gracefully like flowing water, and sometimes striking with the force of steel. What the Zombie Satan Beast fears most is the blades of its two giant axes, which are imbued with holy light. Each strike causes the Zombie Satan Beast's dark energy to sizzle and burn.

Just when the battle seemed to be turning in one direction, a cunning glint suddenly flashed in the crimson eyes of the zombie Satan Beast.

It suddenly spread its tattered bat wings and unleashed [Night Demon Strike]! Thousands of bat-shaped black shadows surged out, forming a black tornado that forcibly forced the two Digimon back.

Taking advantage of this opening, it grinned and raised its bone staff, the tip of which began to gather terrifying crimson energy—the [Special Beam Cannon] was charging up, and its target was the group of professional beast tamers standing together, the target—to surround the group of professional beast tamers who were standing together with "Sister Xiaochun" at the head.

"Die, all of you!" the zombie Satanic beast roared maniacally, the energy sphere on its bone staff swelling to a terrifying degree. Just at this critical moment—

"Wang!"

A clear bark pierced the sky.

The puppy beast's [Puppy Roar] transformed into a golden sound wave, accurately striking the bone claws of the zombie Satan beast wielding its staff!

Holy energy and dark power collided violently, erupting in a blinding flash. The zombie Satan Beast swayed violently, its half-charged attack abruptly interrupted!

"This is impossible!" It looked down at its trembling bone claws, then abruptly turned to the small white figure, its skeletal face contorted in shock. "A mere growth stage... how could it possibly interrupt my skill?!"

This unexpected turn of events silenced the battlefield instantly, everyone staring in disbelief at the brave little dog-like beast. The Zombie Satanmon's mistake was fleeting, but in a battle at the Ultimate level, this opening was fatal enough...

Seizing the opportunity presented by the opening, the Jade Rabbit Beast darted close and used a locking technique imbued with divine energy to firmly lock the joints of the zombie Satan Beast.

At the same time, Andromon hugged the zombie Satanmon tightly from behind, its arms crackling with electricity, its power turned up to the maximum.

Just as the Jade Rabbit Beast and Andromon joined forces to firmly imprison the Zombie Satan Beast, "BOOM—"

A deafening roar suddenly came from the sky.

Cheng Yuan looked up and saw the thick clouds being torn apart by a bolt of silver lightning—

It was a colossal vessel, its design a perfect fusion of an ancient bird and modern technology. Its streamlined, silver-gray hull gleamed with a cold metallic sheen in the sunlight, and the energy sails unfurling on either side resembled the wings of a mythical phoenix, each vibration unleashing a storm of data.

“It’s the Association’s Ark!” Wang Lin’s voice trembled slightly with excitement. “It’s about to end… It’s the ‘Digital Chain Sealing Matrix,’ a creation built from the collective wisdom of millions of top programmers.”

Xu Xin's voice rang out on the Tyrannosaurus Rex's public channel, "All personnel evacuate the danger zone immediately!"

The bottom of the ark slowly opened, revealing a golden coffin made entirely of a mysterious alloy.

Surprisingly, from the opened golden coffin, thousands of digital chains gleaming with a bluish light flew out. Each chain was materialized from pure data streams, its surface engraved with dazzling digital runes.

These chains, like living serpents, precisely coiled around every inch of the zombie Satan beast's bones.

"Sizzle—" The chains tightened with a sickening metallic scraping sound, forcefully forcing the overflowing dark energy back into the zombie Satanic beast's body. Runes lit up one after another, forming a tight sealing network.

"No—!" The zombie Satan Beast let out a heart-wrenching roar, which made Cheng Yuan's eardrums ache.

It struggled frantically, its bone claws tearing at the chains with all its might. The demon mask shattered completely in the violent struggle, revealing a hideous red skull beneath.

The inner walls of the golden coffin were densely covered with programming language, each line shimmering with blue light. This was the ultimate product combining modern technology with the technology of the digital world.

The chains tightened further, and the bones of the zombie Satan Beast creaked under the strain. It was dragged little by little toward the golden coffin, the energy of its black core suppressed layer by layer by the chains.

Just as they were about to be dragged into the golden coffin, the zombie Satan suddenly roared, "You think this is the end?!"

Its black core melted instantly, turning into a jet-black wave that shot straight toward the little dog beast that Cheng Yuan was holding!

The attack came too fast; Cheng Yuan had no time to think.

He instinctively turned around and forcefully threw the little dog beast to a safe area, but he was hit in the back by the dark wave, which surged into his body.

All that remained of Cheng Yuan's world was darkness. Amidst a sea of ​​shocked gazes, Cheng Yuan collapsed straight to the ground.

Through the cracks in the golden coffin, just wide enough for the zombie Satanic beast to extend its scarlet bony fingers and point at the crowd: "Don't be too happy yet! I will definitely return for revenge! I will sow the seeds of despair in Belial Castle and destroy this world! You just wait!!!"

"boom!"

The golden coffin was closed tightly.

Chapter 77 Dark Seed

Silence enveloped the entire square.
