Taichi: My Digimon is V-dramon

Chapter 33 33. Dio: Drive for me

Gorillamon is dead.

Counting from the moment he landed on the Shaba Continent, Taiyi eliminated a member of the dark forces within less than 24 hours. He watched the Gorillamon turn into data and dissipate in mid-air, deader than dead.

But looking at Taichi's expression, Reimaru felt that he didn't seem very happy.

"Taichi, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking of you."

"Huh?" Zeromaru was stunned for a second, not expecting Taichi to answer like that.

Then her face flushed immediately, and she said shyly, "Hate it, you're so familiar with me and still say such disgusting things."

Taiyi, who was originally looking at the moon with a melancholy face, immediately lost his composure.

He looked at Zeromaru with a chill in his eyes: "Could it be that the data of Bearmon has not been cleared yet?"

Zeromaru retorted expressionlessly, "It was you who started to disgust me first."

Taiyi said, "I mean, when will you be able to evolve into your full form?"

However, facing this topic, which is considered the highest pursuit in the eyes of most Digimon, Zeromaru was very indifferent: "This kind of thing doesn't matter at all."

Taiyi shook his head. "Just based on the amount of data, you should have already reached the required value for evolution."

Zeromaru has defeated countless perfect forms along the way, and he has definitely reached the standard of evolution. What's more, the bond between him and Taichi is absolutely MAX.

At this point, it's not impossible that Zeromaru might suddenly evolve while walking down the street one day.

But in fact, the behavior of evolution is controllable, just like pressing the 'B button' to cancel evolution.

Of course, this behavior is inconceivable to other Digimon, because for them, every opportunity to evolve is extremely precious, and it is a game with life at stake. Once something goes wrong, it will become a pool of garbage data that is not even as good as Snotmon.

But for Taichi, he only needs to use the digital machine to scan the digital soul and inject it into Zeromaru's body, and he can complete the evolution.

This was also the conclusion reached by the Digital Machine when it analyzed the Digital Soul.

But in order to make Digimon evolve, more than just the power of the Tamer is needed. If the Digimon that receives the power is unwilling to evolve, then everything is meaningless.

Even if the Tamer and the Digimon have conflicting intentions, it is possible that the Digimon will evolve in the wrong direction.

Taichi glanced at Zeromaru again. At this moment, he was playing with the Ballmons with a happy look on his face.

But Taiyi clearly felt his resistance to evolution.

But why is this happening? What is more important to Zeromaru than evolution that is stopping him?

----------

Seeing Hackmon and the others wake up after recovering from their injuries, Taichi said goodbye to everyone in NEO Village and continued his adventure.

Before leaving, Taiyi remembered the train with the word "Xiaotianmen" printed on it that Gorillamon drove when he came.

When he walked over to take a look, he found that the train did not disappear with the death of Gorillamon. In the carriage, he also saw Gazhimon squatting with his head in his hands.

Needless to say, he is also a subordinate of Gorillamon.

"Are you the driver of this car?" Taiyi asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Seeing this super strong man who defeated Gorillamon with ease, Gazhimon felt his teeth chattering.

"I'm not just a driver. I'm also responsible for monitoring Gorillamon's territory. I can provide you with clues about Gorillamon's subordinates!" In order to save his life, Gazhimon chose to betray his former colleague without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, you are considered sensible among the lackeys." Taiyi was happy, and then without saying a word, he stepped into the train compartment.

Sitting in the main seat that used to be occupied by Gorillamon, he crossed his legs, folded his hands on his knees, and said calmly, "Drive for me."

In order to avoid turning into dirty fireworks in the air like Gorillamon, Gajimon started operating on the train without stopping.

In a moment, the train stepped onto the black cable again and headed into the distance.

On the way, Jiazhimon asked timidly, "Sir, where are we going now?"

Taiyi asked, "Where is the nearest gorilla beast territory?"

Jiazhimon thought about it, tapped a few keys on the train's computer, and immediately marked a few red dots on the map.

These punctuation marks are the most iconic territories of the gorilla beast.

They are:
Arena for concerts

Luxury yacht moving in the desert

And the inverted pyramid where the Gorillamon network's mainframe resides. Beyond that, there's the intricate black circuits that crisscross the entirety of the Shaba Continent—naturally, the Gorillamon's black cables.

The closest place to Taiyi's current location is the arena not far away.

"Then let's go there." Taiyi said lightly.

Along the way, Jiazhimon would secretly look back at Taiyi from time to time and saw that the other party was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed. Although Taiyi did not mean that, in Jiazhimon's eyes, Taiyi was the new boss.

Wanting to show off in front of the new boss, he said, "Because Gorillamon... ahem, Gorillamon really enjoys watching Digimon fight each other. Basically, every few months, he captures a powerful mature Digimon."

"So far, the strongest Digimon in the arena is a Tyrannosaurus, who has won 99 consecutive games."

Taichi frowned. "I remember Agumon from NEO Village said before that their eldest brother is about to evolve?"

"Agumon will evolve into Greymon, right?"

Jiazhi Beast: “.”

Inside the train, it was as if a Seadramon had used its ultimate move, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to absolute zero.

"Ha, hahahaha! How could such a coincidence happen? Agumon are as numerous as stray dogs on the roadside in Sabat Continent, and most of them have evolved into Tyrannosaurus. Agumon that can evolve into Tyrannosaurus are extremely rare, hahaha, haha."

As Jiazhi Beast spoke, he felt more and more guilty.

Taiyi shook his head: "Don't talk, just drive calmly."

After coming to the digital world, Taichi has encountered too many coincidences, as if the world is a novel, and Taichi is the protagonist who triggers the plot wherever he goes.

If this is the case, then the current plot is called foreshadowing, or setting a flag.

If the flag is raised but not taken down, it means that this is a third-rate story written by a second-rate author.

Seeing that Taichi had no intention of doing anything to him, Jiazhimon was actually a little surprised.

You know, if you say something wrong, the gorilla beast's iron fist will hit you immediately. Although it won't be life-threatening, it will still hurt for several days.

"You, you're not going to hit me?"

"Why should I hit you? It's not you who captured Tyrannosaurus. You don't have the ability to do that." Taiyi looked at him strangely. Why did this guy suddenly want to play the alphabet circle trick with him?
"Although this undisguised contempt is hurtful, no, forget it, it's nothing. It's okay."

Jiazhimon said embarrassedly.

It's also funny. He has followed Gorillamon for so long, and not a single day has passed without fear. But when facing Taichi who destroyed Gorillamon, the other party's question made Gazhimon feel at ease.

"You guys are having a hard time too." Taiyi sighed when he saw the other party's embarrassment.

"It's because we are only in the growth stage. We are so weak that we have to try our best just to stay alive. How can we have the energy left to resist the powerful complete form?" Jiazhimon shook his head.

"That's why Digimon want to evolve, to gain power, to live in the world with dignity."

Before he knew it, Gazhimon had spoken out words that he had only thought about in his mind.

Perhaps, it was because he instinctively sensed that Taiyi was not the type of person who would laugh at others' embarrassment behind their backs.

He laughed at others in front of them.

Taichi naturally didn't know what Gajimon thought of him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Well, honesty can be considered a virtue after all.
"squeak--!"

Just then, the train stopped.

Jiazhimon also came back to his senses and said, "We're here."

Taiyi walked out of the carriage, and as a gust of wind and sand flew past, a magnificent Roman-style arena appeared in front of Taiyi.

"It's right here." Taiyi muttered to himself, and then said to the person behind him: "A Ling, let's go! Let's go and rescue Tyrannosaurus from being enslaved by Gorillamon!"

Reimaru: “.”

After waiting for a few seconds and not receiving a reply from Zeromaru, Tai subconsciously looked behind him.

I saw Lingmaru lying on the floor of the carriage, his eyes had rolled back, tears as wide as kelp were flowing from his eyes, and a string of foam was oozing from the corners of his mouth.

Zeromaru, who had been dizzy from the car all the way, said in pain, "It hurts so much!"

"A-Zero! What's wrong with you, A-Zero!" Taichi ran to Zeromaru, knelt on one knee, and held Zeromaru's head with one hand.

At this moment, Zeromaru's eyes went dark and he fell flat on his back.

"Ah—Zero—!"
