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

The Mud Beast, which reeks of a strong stench and resembles flowing, rotten sludge, drips highly corrosive mucus from its body, which hisses and smokes as it burns on the ground.

There were also translucent, elusive, shrill-looking demonic beasts, emanating a chilling aura that could freeze the soul; and even more undead and ghosts of various shapes and terrifying forms, their rotting flesh, exposed bones, and twisted faces all exuding a voracious hunger for the flesh and data of the living! They were densely packed, numbering in the dozens! In an instant, they completely blocked the narrow stone path entrance!

[Soldier Beast]

[Virus Type - Immortal]

[Maturity Stage]

[Skills: Spectacular Attack (shoots beams of light from the body to attack enemies), Death March (charges in a straight line towards enemies)]

[Description: Artificial Digimon whose bodies are made of special rubber and filled with energy stolen from other Digimon. Like machines, they only execute commands and have no capacity for spontaneous action. They do not feel fatigue, pain, or fear death, and do not need sleep, making them pure fighting machines. They usually act in groups. Individual Soldiermon are not strong in combat, but they are difficult for opponents of average strength to withstand due to their numerical superiority. The energy in an injured Soldiermon is extracted and transferred to a new special rubber body, thus reborn as a new Soldiermon. They have been sent to the battlefield many times.]

【Mud Beast】

[Virus species? Amorphous]

[Maturity Stage]

[Skills: Sludge Spray (sprays corrosive sludge to attack enemies), Body Slam (uses the flexible body to ram into the opponent)]

[Description: An amorphous Digimon formed from sewage and corrupted data, its entire body covered in viscous sludge and emitting a foul stench. Its body structure is extremely unstable, capable of freely transforming to evade attacks and also able to blend into sewage or muddy environments to conceal itself.]

Pairs of blood-red eyes, filled with savagery and hunger, locked onto Cheng Yuan and his group (beasts)!

The air instantly plummeted to freezing point, the viscous malice almost suffocating!

"I'll take care of the Undead type! Gatomon, Ghost type is yours! Baronmon, protect Guan Yan!" Cheng Yuan's voice suddenly rose, exploding in the dead silence!

He stepped forward, his dark body blocking the way. The two demonic swords, "Blood Evolution," silently slid into his hands, their blades wreathed in ominous crimson light.

"Meow!" Gatomon leaped lightly and landed on Cheng Yuan's side. Pure holy light burst forth from its small body, dispelling the cold ghostly aura and creating a natural suppression on ghost-type Digimon.

"Understood! Guard the barrier!" Baron replied steadily, slamming the ancient book in its massive claws into the ground!

Buzz! A semi-transparent wall of light, flowing with golden runes, instantly rose up, firmly protecting Guan Yan behind her. Faint shadows of ancient digital runes swirled on the wall of light.

Surprisingly, the surging army of undead and ghosts did not immediately rush forward.

They stirred and roared, their eyes lingering on Cheng Yuan.

The dense and pure dark and evil aura of the Dark Beast was a tremendous predatory pressure on the undead, and the holy radiance of the Gatomon made them instinctively disgusted and fearful.

Intimidation and fear clashed fiercely in their decaying consciousness, creating a bizarre stalemate.

But this stalemate is like a bowstring stretched to its limit!

"Damn, it wasn't a waste of money!" Cheng Yuan thought to himself.

He felt the surging attribute power within his body and within Gatomon's body, the result of spending over three million wealth points!

Tailmon's light and holy attributes were enhanced to the extreme, and its own dark flower absorbed a massive amount of dark data, almost doubling its attribute values!

Moreover, during his travels through the ruins, he did not neglect his training. During his rest periods, he would train with the little dog beast, gradually becoming familiar with his body.

In addition, there's the demonic sword in his hand that can continuously grow stronger by absorbing blood...

This is their trump card, their last chance to survive!

"Roar—!" Finally, the largest of the beasts, wielding a giant bone hammer, let out an attacking roar! It was like igniting a powder keg!

The tide of the undead burst its banks! Rotting Soldiermon, flowing Mudmon, shrieking Demonmon, and a large number of Rookie Digimon surged in from all directions!

"Kill them!" Cheng Yuan's voice came through his mask, carrying a metallic tearing sound! He transformed into a streak of blood-red lightning, crashing into the foremost beast soldier!

Chapter 146 Madness! The Demon Blade's "Blood Evolution"

clang!

The demonic sword "Blood Evolution" clashed violently with the giant bone hammer! Sparks flew everywhere!

The power of the Dark Beast is in no way inferior to that of the massive Soldier Beast!

His scarlet eyes flashed with ferocity, and with his other wrist, which covered the beast's skull, he raised another demonic blade. Like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, it instantly pierced through the soldier beast's ribs and viciously extracted its digital blood!

"Ugh—!" The soldier beast let out a bloodcurdling scream that reached the very depths of its soul!

Conquer (Blood Absorption)!

"Not enough!" Cheng Yuan roared, and the blood-red light on the demonic blade instantly surged!

Soldiermon is mainly composed of bones and rubber. Even if the Demon Blade can assimilate its energy data into digital blood, the amount absorbed is relatively limited, far less than the amount absorbed from Digimon like Bloodwolfmon, which uses blood as its energy source.

He abruptly pulled back his claws, gripped the knife with both hands, and slashed fiercely at the wounded and stiff-moving soldier beast in front of him!

Blood Assault!

The tainted blood formed a crescent-shaped, solidified, scarlet blood blade, which then flew out of the sword with a piercing sound and terrifying cutting force!

*Pfft! Pfft! Boom!*

The Blood Blade sliced ​​through the decaying skeleton of the Soldier Beast without any resistance, cleaving it in two at the waist! The remaining death data at the cut turned blood-red and was devoured by the Blood Blade!

Even more terrifying, the blood-red blade continued its relentless advance, slicing through two smaller soldier beasts that couldn't dodge in time! Three streams of pure death data were partially assimilated into digital blood, surging into the blood-red eyes of the Dark Beast Armor!

The crimson energy patterns on his body instantly brightened, and the dark pressure emanating from him suddenly intensified!

On the other side, Gatomon, like a white elf, nimbly traversed the battlefield.

【Shadow Clone】! Its small figure split into four, moving around on both sides of the light wall constructed by the Baron Beast.

"Holy Light Bullet!"

Pure holy light bullets were summoned from around its holy ring like a barrage of cannon fire, precisely striking the ghost-type Digimon that were trying to bypass the source and rush towards the light wall.

Chi Chi Chi!

Holy Light Bullets are extremely poisonous to ghostly entities like the Fierce Demon Beast!

Cheng Yuan greatly enhanced Gatomon's Holy Light dual attributes, making each strike carry astonishing purifying power and extremely efficient!

The struck monsters let out a shrill, distorted scream. Whether it was a virus or a ghost attribute, it was completely countered. A few holy light bullets were enough to make their bodies melt and vaporize rapidly, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, turning into wisps of data smoke and dissipating!

Baronmon held firm at the rear, the gem in the center of its helmet gleaming as it calmly observed the battlefield.

"Fire control!" it whispered, its empty claws reaching out to grab at the air!

The sparse fire elemental energy floating in the air was instantly activated, condensing into a leaping golden flame in its claw.

It slammed the flames onto the ground!

boom!

Flames engulfed the black rocks, and a crimson lava fissure suddenly split open in the ground several meters ahead! The fissure extended rapidly forward, erupting right beneath a mud beast attempting to spew corrosive slime!

"Roar—!" Scalding lava erupted from the ground, instantly engulfing the Mud Beast! The slime reacted with the lava, producing a piercing boiling sound and a burning stench! The Mud Beast writhed in agony, its body sizzling as it was burned, and large amounts of slime evaporated!

Mudmon's body structure is unique, making it largely unaffected by ordinary physical attacks. However, it is countered by fire-type moves, being baked into hard mud fragments by high-temperature flames. Baronmon's evolution is truly worthwhile.

"White Spell!" Baronmon launched another attack.

A soft white light emanated from its hand. A pure sphere of light, the size of a fist, condensed in front of it, then suddenly exploded, transforming into sharp beams of light that shot out in several directions like white lasers!

Several small, ghostly beasts resembling skeletal bats that attacked from the side were pierced by the beam of light, screaming as they turned to ashes!

The battle instantly intensified! Cheng Yuan, transformed into a dark beast, charged and weaved through the enemy ranks like a tireless killing machine.

With each swing of the demon sword "Blood Evolution," it stirs up large fragments of bones and viscous data streams, continuously converting the enemy's "blood" into its own power!

He fought with increasing ferocity, the crimson light on his blade growing ever brighter, and his attack range expanding ever wider! The scarlet blood blade of [Blood Assault] slashed out repeatedly, each strike reaping several undead!

Tailmon's clones were also efficiently clearing out the ghosts, but there were simply too many of them, each one fearless and undaunted.

The high-intensity, continuous firing of holy light bullets made Gatomon's breathing rapid, and the holy light on its body dimmed considerably.

It is, after all, only in its mature stage, with limited energy reserves, and unlike the Dark Beast, it does not have the blood absorption skill, a powerful ability to sustain itself in group battles.

Moreover, besides ghost-type enemies, it frequently used Holy Light Bullets to precisely control the battlefield and finish off enemies like Cheng Yuan and Baron Beast, resulting in astonishing energy consumption.

"Gatomon! Come back!" Cheng Yuan noticed his partner's fatigue. His scarlet eyes flashed, and he forcefully pushed back several Soldiermon. He took a few steps back, and at the same time, his sharp claws reached into the data space and instantly took out a golden armored egg that exuded a warm and holy aura—the Holy Digimon!

He took out the arc laser machine and instantly completed the chip packaging and insertion!

Gatomon's eyes lit up, and it suddenly summoned the last eight Holy Light Bullets, forcing back the surrounding Demonmon. Then, the already abundant holy power within its body instantly resonated strongly with the Holy Digimon Spirit of the Arc Machine!

"Gatomon - Armor Evolution!"

A blinding white light erupted! Within the light, Gatomon's body rapidly elongated and transformed!

As the light faded, a brand new Armored Digimon appeared! It was several times larger than Gatomon and resembled a magnificent goat!

Its entire body is covered in soft, jet-black fur, radiating a warm glow. Atop its head are a pair of enormous, beautiful golden ram horns, the tips of which are wreathed in sacred light. Around its neck is an alloy collar inscribed with holy runes, and its entire being exudes a powerful and pure divine aura!

Goat Beast

[Vaccine Type, Beast Type, Holy Type]

[Armored Body - Mature Stage]

[Skills: Mysterious Bell, Barrier Protection, Horn Strike Charge]

[Description: An Armored Mammal-type Digimon evolved from the power of the "Digital Spirit of Hope." This giant black goat-shaped Digimon has been tasked with guarding treasures and ruins since ancient times. It utilizes its unique abilities to create powerful barriers, operating to protect vital data.]

"Clang clang clang—!" The evolved goat beast's neck bell emitted a series of clear and melodious sounds, like church bells, instantly dispelling the surrounding chilling and ghostly aura!

The holy light emanating from it was several times stronger than that of Gatomon! Those ghost-type Digimon that had been charging forward fearlessly suddenly seemed to have encountered their nemesis, letting out terrified screams and retreating in all directions, not daring to approach the range of that holy light!

With the addition of the Goat Beast, the Holy Radiance and the Mystic Bells erected a barrier, drastically reducing the ghost-type threat.

Cheng Yuan charged even more recklessly into the horde of undead, his demonic blade drinking blood, his power rising steadily!

Baronmon's fire control and white spells delivered precise kills, while Goatmon used its holy aura to dispel negative status effects and occasionally unleashed powerful charges with its strong golden horns, smashing through decaying bones!

The scales of victory seem to be tipping.

however--

"Roar! Ro ...

A terrifying roar that shook the heavens and the earth, like a thousand thunderbolts exploding in one's ears, instantly enveloped the entire battlefield in an indescribable, violent pressure!

Everyone stared in horror at the shadow of the huge rock.

The sleeping Mad Lionmon has awakened!

Chapter 147 Bloodbath! Mad Lion Beast

Its massive body slowly rose to its feet, its black mane standing on end like raging black flames!

From the seams of the stitched purple skin, a violent stream of black data flowed out!

Those eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened. There were no pupils inside, only a chaotic, violent, and destructive sea of ​​scarlet blood!

Boom!

The closest soldier beasts and mud beasts were instantly torn into raw data fragments by the shockwave! They didn't even have time to scream!

Its blood-red "eyes" instantly locked onto the entity with the strongest energy reaction and the most killing on the battlefield—the dark beast Cheng Yuan, covered in blood and wielding a crimson demonic blade!

"Half-complete form..." Cheng Yuan's heart sank to the bottom, but the surging power from the demon sword made him feel a crazy fighting spirit!

"Baronmon! Try to find its weakness with that eye! Goatmon, use Holy Aura and Mystic Bell to suppress its Dark Corruption data! I'll lead the attack!" Cheng Yuan said with unprecedented seriousness.

"Eye of Insight, activate!" The gem in the center of Baronmon's helmet instantly shone brightly, shooting towards MadLeomon like a searchlight. Countless tiny streams of data flashed past the gem, analyzing and predicting!

"Divine Protection!" the goat-beast cried out, and a larger and more solid holy halo spread out from it, enveloping the Dark Beast and the Baron Beast within it.

Wherever the halo passed, the chaotic and filthy data streams emanating from Crazy Lion Beast were as if they had encountered their nemesis, emitting a sizzling burning sound, and were forcibly suppressed and purified in part!

"Roar!" Enraged by the holy halo, the Mad Lion Beast unleashed its massive claws, accompanied by a spatial-tearing gale, as it slammed them down towards the foremost Dark Beast! Even before the claws arrived, the terrifying gale had already ripped the ground apart!

"Come on!" Cheng Yuan advanced instead of retreating, and the demonic sword "Blood Evolution" erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling blood light.

He poured all his strength, along with the massive amount of data he had absorbed, into this single strike!

A scarlet blood blade, condensed to its extreme and seemingly capable of cleaving through space, slashed wildly against the lion's claws!

Blood Assault!

boom--!!!!!!!

The moment the blood blade collided with the lion's claw was like detonating a bomb! Blinding energy turbulence, mixed with scarlet and dark light fragments, scattered wildly!

The shockwave blasted away all the remaining soldiers and mud beasts in the area! A huge crater was blasted open in the ground!
