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

On a distant hillside, a group of mischievous monkeys were building defensive fortifications. They wove vines into nets and hung huge rocks from the treetops, creating simple catapults.

Cheng Yuan adjusted the joystick to slow down the Silver Horned Beast. "Little Silver Horned Beast, remember our agreement—when you see your sister later, you need to be tough!"

"But...but my sister will be angry..." The silver-horned beast's voice grew softer and softer.

"Think about a game console!" Cheng Yuan tempted. "If you do well this time, I'll bring you the latest PS25 when we get back!"

"Really? Really?" The silver-horned beast immediately perked up, its steps becoming lighter.

Meanwhile, at the Hanu tribe's temporary camp, Sepikmon and Targetmon were discussing countermeasures.

“The Vajra Tribe is wiped out,” Target Beast said gravely. “Now only the two of us at maturity are left. How can we withstand the Savage Beasts’ attack? Should we run away quickly?”

The mask of the Sepikmon shimmered faintly: "This space is only so big, where can we escape to? And there's the Flying Insect Beast, humans are already our allies, it's going to seek more help..."

"Hmph, humans... they've only ever treated us like domesticated animals, otherwise they wouldn't be occupying this spatial rift..."

Before he could finish speaking, the ground suddenly shook. The two Digimon looked up alertly and saw the enormous figure of Silverhorn appear at the foot of the hill.

"Ready for battle!" Target Beast immediately pulled out his brand-name sneakers.

"Wait!" Sepik the Beast stopped it. "Look—"

The door to the Silver Horned Beast's abdomen slowly opened, and Cheng Yuan, holding the Little Dog Beast, sat inside and waved to them.

The target beast narrowed its eyes: "A human beast tamer?"

"Everyone!" Cheng Yuan raised both hands, "I have good news and bad news for you!"

"The good news is that the Silverhorn is now our ally!" He felt a sense of superiority from his cockpit.

"What's the bad news?" Sepikmon asked.

“Golden Horn Beast is leading a large army on its way,” Cheng Yuan said, taking off his helmet and wiping his sweat. “And…it seems they’ve allied with Wind Calamity Beast and Demon Beast.” This information also came from Silver Horn Beast.

The silver-horned beast suddenly stopped in its tracks: "Th-that's...!"

Target Beast's expression turned ugly: "Wind Calamity Beast? That madman got involved too?"

As for the Sepikmon, it was because he was wearing a mask that his face could not be seen, but his breathing seemed rapid.

Cheng Yuan nodded.

Through the conversation along the way, he learned a lot of information from the Silverhorn Beast. The four leaders of Savage Valley seemed to have reached some kind of agreement and were preparing to wipe out the Stubborn Monkey Beast clan in one fell swoop.

"Is that handsome pink monkey the leader of the Target Beasts?" Cheng Yuan asked, having noticed the pink monkey from the start.

"Class representative!" Kang Zhaodi waved from afar, "I've brought the target beast here!"

Cheng Yuan took a closer look and almost burst out laughing—the target beast was wearing brand-name sneakers with a dazzling appearance on its hands.

Kang Zhaodi noticed Cheng Yuan's gaze, and looked at his toes peeking out from under his worn-out shoes with a wry smile: "My limited edition Air Jordans..."

Cheng Yuan suppressed a laugh and waved, calling out, "Target Beast Leader, thank you for coming to support us."

The Target Beast arrogantly raised its chin: "Hmph! I'm not here to help you! I just... just wanted to kick the Savage Beast's ass!"

“Yes, yes, yes,” Cheng Yuan nodded repeatedly, “The savage beast’s ass deserves a kick!”

At that moment, Cheng Yuan's Digimon vibrated. He checked the information on it: [Team Leader Xu and the others are on their way. However, we have also received a mission from the Association to clean up the excess Champion-level Digimon in this digital space.]

"Clean up?" Cheng Yuan's heart tightened. "What do you mean?"

Wang Lin sighed: "It's exactly what it sounds like. The number of mature spaces in this area has exceeded the limit, and the association is worried it will cause a riot."

Cheng Yuan looked at the Silverhorn that was enveloping him, as well as the Sepikmon and Targetmon outside, and suddenly realized a terrible problem—these Digimon that had just become allies were very likely the targets that the Association wanted to "clean up".

Is there no other way?

Wang Lin: [Unless...they willingly become tamers' partners. But adult Digimon rarely accept this arrangement.]

Cheng Yuan fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the ground began to shake again, even more violently than before.

"They're here!" Seppikmon drew its boomerang and pointed in a direction. "It's the Goldhorn battle group!"

Cheng Yuan followed its gaze and saw a vast army of savage beasts appear on the horizon.

Leading the pack was the imposing Golden Horned Beast, its spiked club gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

On the other side stood the Wind Calamity Beast, wielding a bone scepter, its fangs bared and its bright red body strikingly conspicuous. Behind it was a dense swarm of Savage Beasts, and a group of Shaman Beasts.

At the same time, a group of savage beasts, led by a demon beast, also hurriedly arrived to join them. This force was a rising one, and the number of savage beasts was not very large.

"Prepare for battle!" Seppimon raised its staff. "This is Monkeymon's battle for survival!"

Cheng Yuan suddenly raised his hand: "Wait! Maybe...maybe we can still negotiate!"

He turned to the Silver Horned Beast: "Little Silver Horned Beast, it's your turn! Remember our promise!"

The silver-horned beast's voice suddenly became timid: "Sister, sister is angry..."

Cheng Yuan could clearly feel the Silver Horned Beast's body trembling slightly. This behemoth, which was invincible on the battlefield, was actually so afraid of his sister's anger.

"Don't panic!" Cheng Yuan said quickly, "Just do it our rehearsal!"

He took a deep breath and pushed the lever. The Silver Horned Beast's massive body slowly turned towards the Gold Horned Beast, rising from the hidden forest to reveal itself, and then—

"Sister—Sister—" the silver-horned beast called out in a drawn-out tone, its voice full of grievance, "I—I found a better drink!"

Chapter 56 Siblings Killing Each Other

The Golden Horned Beast was clearly stunned for a moment, and almost dropped the spiked club in its hand.

It looked at its younger brother suspiciously: "Are you alright? Those monkeys didn't bully you?"

"No, no!" The silver-horned beast shook its head repeatedly, clumsily taking out a wine gourd from its back. "Sister, I've found an even better wine! Smell it, it smells amazing!"

The golden-horned beast approached the gourd's mouth with some skepticism, and an intoxicating fruity aroma wafted towards it. Its expression softened instantly: "This taste... is indeed very good."

Cheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in the cockpit. It seemed the first step of the plan had succeeded.

Seeing the Golden Horned Beast drinking it down in gulps, the Silver Horned Beast rubbed its hands together like a child waiting for praise, "Does Sister like it? We can get more of this kind of wine in the future!"

"Really?" The golden-horned beast patted its younger brother's shoulder in surprise, almost making Cheng Yuan dizzy. "My little brother has made something of himself!"

Taking advantage of the situation, the Silver Horned Beast said, "Sister, since we have wine, why don't we go back to Golden Silver Lake?" Its voice suddenly lowered, "I'll be good, I won't make you angry again... I don't want to fight anymore..."

The golden-horned beast's expression clearly wavered, and its long green hair fell down.

“And…” Silverhorn continued, following Cheng Yuan’s instructions, “I don’t want to fight for Wind Calamity Beast anymore. He always likes to bully us, and I hate him the most!”

The golden-horned beast's eyes flickered, as if some memory had been stirred within it. Its grip on its spiked club loosened, and its tone softened: "That red-skinned monster was indeed..."

Cheng Yuan clenched his fist in the cockpit, secretly pleased. It seemed that there had been a rift between the siblings and the Wind Calamity Beast for some time, and the plan was going more smoothly than expected!

However, just as he was about to take the next step, a chilling voice suddenly came from afar:

"Tsk tsk tsk, you foolish Golden Horned Beast!" The Wind Calamity Beast raised its bone staff, and a foul-smelling hurricane swept in. "Your brother has already been controlled by humans!"

A fierce wind, carrying sand and gravel, lashed against the golden-horned beast's face, shattering its brief moment of tenderness. It jerked its head back, raising its spiked club once more: "Little brother! You have a human inside you?!"

The silver-horned beast stood frozen in place, bewildered: "I...I..."

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Cheng Yuan gripped the joystick tightly, cold sweat beading on his forehead. What should he do now?

"Sister, sister, don't be angry!" The silver-horned beast waved its hands awkwardly, its voice trembling with tears. "This human is a good person! He taught me how to brew better wine! He even said he'd take us to a digital space made up of amusement parks..."

"A digital space in an amusement park?" The Golden Horned Beast was skeptical, its spiked club still raised high. "Who's hiding in there? Come out and talk!"

Cheng Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. Going out now would surely mean getting smashed flat by the Golden Horned Beast's club, but staying put would make him seem guilty...

The little dog stood behind the cabin door, the sacred barrier already poised to activate, its azure eyes fixed on the commotion outside.

"Golden Horned Beast!" Cheng Yuan's voice came through the Silver Horned Beast's amplification system, "Didn't you want to leave the Savage Valley digital space? I have a way!"

"What?" The golden-horned beast's ears twitched.

Cheng Yuan continued to coax him gently: "If you become a human beast tamer, we can help you leave this place! The outside world has countless digital spaces, and all sorts of fun things..."

Cheng Yuan opened the cabin door, dialed Wang Lin's Dracovish, and said, "The person opposite the Dracovish is a professional human trainer who has the right to command others. You can ask her."

Wang Lin's calm voice came from the Dinobot: "That's right, as long as you become a member of the Beast Tamer Association, I can take you out, provided that you don't disrupt the order of the human world."

The Wind Calamity Beast slammed its bone staff into the ground: "Tsk tsk tsk, making adult Digimon their slaves and talking so righteously. Golden Horn Sister, don't listen to them. Let's attack, kill them, take down the Monkeymon, and fight our way out."

Wang Lin sneered: "You think you can take it? The association's reinforcements will be here soon."

The Wind Calamity Beast bared its fangs: "Hmph, you're only two mature stages, bluffing! Get at me, I'll make sure you don't get out of here."

The Wind Calamity Beast hadn't expected a human professional tamer to get involved in the battle, but this tamer didn't have any mature Digimon here, so he was clearly just bluffing.

At a command, the Savage Beasts surged towards the Monkey Beasts' makeshift fortifications like a tidal wave. Stones and fireballs clashed in the air, and explosions echoed one after another.

"Hold the line!" The Sepik Beast's staff glowed with a strange light, and the Soul Interference Emblem reached the peak of its attack.

Target Beast brandished his dazzling AJ sneakers, unleashing streaks of lightning towards the enemy ranks: "Take this electric shock hug sneaker!"

The Golden Horned Beast and the Silver Horned Beast remained standing in place, and the Golden and Silver Horned Legion did not move.

Cheng Yuan secretly rejoiced; these siblings were indeed not so easily fooled.

"Golden Horned Beast! Aren't you going to make a move?" the Wind Calamity Beast urged sternly.

"Okay, you guys go first..." Goldhorn replied perfunctorily, feigning to approach Silverhorn, "I'll check on my little brother's condition..."

An alarm bell rang in Cheng Yuan's mind.

Through the observation window, he clearly saw the Golden Horned Beast's body begin to crackle with electricity—it was that move, [Rage, Wrathful Spirit, Wrathful Blaze]! The silver armor could conduct electricity!

"Little Dog Beast, prepare the barrier!" Cheng Yuan picked up Little Dog Beast. "This sister is smarter than I thought!"

Just as the Golden Horned Beast was about to release the high-voltage current, Cheng Yuan suddenly pushed the lever. The Silver Horned Beast's enormous body suddenly raised the wine gourd and slammed it down on the Golden Horned Beast's head!

"Ah! Don't hit my sister!" the silver-horned beast cried out, but its body was actually twisted in pain.

Caught off guard, the golden-horned beast was hit squarely and stumbled back several steps: "You idiot brother..."

"I'm sorry, sister!" the silver-horned beast cried out, but its hands didn't stop moving, and it unleashed another sweeping attack.

In the center of the arena, the battle between the four Champion-level Digimon intensified. Hazemon's Hurricane and Devilmon's Bone Club intertwined, while Zeppelinmon's Soul Boomerang and Targetmon's Lightning Shoes worked in tandem.

Cheng Yuan was completely focused on controlling the Silver Horned Beast, engaging in a bizarre "sibling rivalry" with the Golden Horned Beast.

After two moves, the Golden Horned Beast suddenly dodged and delivered a powerful [Lightning Ghost Kick] to the Silver Horned Beast's abdomen.

"Bang!" The massive body of the silver-horned beast crashed to the ground, shaking the earth.

"It hurts..." the silver-horned beast groaned pitifully.

The Golden Horned Beast is considered very strong in its mature stage; even the Silver Horned Beast is no match for it, let alone being controlled by Cheng Yuan, a novice driver.

The Golden Horned Beast leaped up and landed steadily on the Silver Horned Beast's chest: "Silly little brother, just bear with it!" It conjured a huge golden ball of lightning in its hands, "I'm going to rip the worm out of your belly!"

"Woof!" The puppy beast's sacred barrier instantly opened, but its growth-stage power was clearly insufficient against the golden-horned beast's full-force attack.

In a moment of desperation, Cheng Yuan slammed his hand on all the buttons on the control panel. With a "click," the control panel suddenly popped open, revealing even more complex buttons.

What's going on?

"Cheng Yuan, my energy is being drained!" The little dog lay down weakly, and the light of the Sacred Ring quickly dimmed.

At the same time, a layer of golden holy light suddenly appeared on the surface of the Silver Horned Beast, which withstood the attack of the lightning ball.

Is this the "Golden Silver Horned Beast" form? No, it uses divine energy; it should be called the "Holy Silver Horned Beast"?

It turns out that when the Golden Horn Beast "combines" with the Silver Horn Beast inside its body to form the Golden Silver Horn Beast, it requires the Golden Horn Beast's energy to be consumed.

Meanwhile, the little dog beast and Cheng Yuan in the cockpit were the pilots who were sucked in.

Cheng Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart, how could a small puppy withstand the intense sucking of such a huge mature animal!

Seeing the little beast growing weaker and weaker, even the light of the Sacred Ring dimmed, Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth, "I have no choice but to take a gamble..."

He pulled out the Vajra core and data collector from his backpack and pressed the release button...

A massive stream of data light erupted, coiling around the digital core to form a dazzling cocoon.

Chapter 57 The Demon Appears

Cheng Yuan recalled that in the animation, the Golden Horn Beast, as the pilot, shared energy with the energy in a special state. This was the Silver Horn Beast's "promotion" form, equivalent to the Silver Horn Beast's version of "burst".
