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

Dark Seed: "???"

An astonishing change occurred—the dark seed rapidly took root and sprouted in his left hand, its deep green vines winding upwards, culminating in a black bud about to bloom. The flower emitted an eerie light, trembling slightly as if it were alive.

Is this the Flower of Darkness?

Dark Flower: "???"

"This is... the Flower of Darkness?" Cheng Yuan murmured to himself, a resolute light flashing in his eyes. In the Yellow Springs region, a land ruled by darkness, perhaps only by fighting darkness with darkness could one find a glimmer of hope.

Chapter 132 Evolution! BlackGatomon!

The system's ability to allocate points silenced all the remaining consciousness within the Dark Flower.

Cheng Yuan thought for a moment, then retrieved the Seed of Light, took out the blank chip, and sealed the Flower of Darkness inside the chip.

Just as he was considering whether to test the chip's performance, the entire stone house suddenly began to shake violently. Accompanied by a booming sound that grew louder as it approached, the ground undulated like waves. Cheng Yuan immediately realized that something enormous was approaching the gathering place.

The four members of the brothel who were having a meeting in the hall suddenly rushed out of the door.

Cheng Yuan watched them walk out of the hall, and then walked out with the same solemn expression.

Outside the hall, several administrators of the gathering place were solemnly directing dozens of young men and women to surge up the heavy stone wall, their Dracula phones glowing with murky light.

Although everyone looked tense, they remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic, as if they had experienced this many times before.

Cheng Yuan looked up toward the source of the sound, but his view was blocked by a towering stone wall. The tremors on the ground grew more and more intense, and he made a quick decision, leading his little dog to a taller stone house.

"Divine Barrier!"

At Cheng Yuan's command, the sacred ring on the puppy's tail flashed, and a semi-transparent energy ramp instantly formed. Cheng Yuan nimbly climbed onto the roof and finally saw the scene in the distance clearly—

Outside the settlement, sand and stones flew everywhere, and a black sandstorm blotted out the sun.

Wherever it passed, the hard rocks were eroded with honeycomb-like marks.

These dust storms are blocked within 200 meters of the gathering area, as if there is an invisible barrier.

Cheng Yuan knew that it must be a protective barrier built by the settlement.

At the boundary between the black sandstorm and the barrier, a series of heavy objects crashed down. Although they were far apart, their astonishing force was still evident. A huge beast's claw print tore the barrier apart.

The sandstorm was briefly dispersed by the strong wind, revealing the attacker's true form. Cheng Yuan gasped – it was a giant, upright, turtle-shaped Digimon, nearly thirty meters tall, with multiple high-speed spinning drills mounted on its carapace.

With each step it took, the ground trembled violently. Even more terrifying, following behind this colossal beast were six Sand Dragon Beasts!

"It's a Primal Armored Beast! The overlord of the Dark Desert!"

"How did it end up here?"

"In the past, at most only Sanddramon would attack!"

Panic-stricken shouts rose and fell. Cheng Yuan quickly activated the system's scan function:

[Original Armored Beast]

[Virus Species, Ore Type, Soil Type]

【Complete Version】

[Skills: Triple Destructive Drill, Conch Shell Launch]

[Description: Ruler of the desert, its carapace is forged from a special alloy and mineral data. Its drill can easily penetrate the hardest rock layers, and its movement triggers powerful earthquakes.]

Women are organizing children to evacuate to air-raid shelters, while animal trainers are on high alert.

At this moment, the original armored behemoth and the sand dragon were less than two hundred meters away from the stone wall, and the vibrations from their landings were clearly audible.

When the giant beast closed to within a hundred meters, the tall, pale-faced Deputy Commander Zhou gave the order: "Attack!"

In an instant, flames, beams of light, and wind blades poured down like a torrential rain.

The cunning Sand Dragon immediately hid behind the original Jawed Beast, using the giant beast as a mobile fortress.

The barrage of attacks landed on the armor of the original armored beast, only causing a spray of sand and gravel, failing to even penetrate the outer layer of armor.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Enraged, the beast's four eyes flashed with blood-red light, and with a "bang," the spiral-shaped drill spikes on its carapace shot out like missiles, reaching straight into the stone wall.

The stone wall was instantly pierced through, and the explosion from the drill blasted three huge gaps in the thick wall. The tamers and Digimon standing on top fell one after another, their fates unknown.

The other tamers had no time to worry about their lives. Under the loud command of Deputy Commander Zhou, another batch of colorful skills were unleashed, and the sand dragons hid behind the original armored beasts.

"Aim at its legs!" Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou shouted hoarsely.

The second attack followed immediately, but the original armored beast had already tucked its limbs into its indestructible carapace.

Wang Zheng, riding Black Garurumon, led his vanguard in an attempt to break through the city walls for close combat, but they were forced back by Sanddramon's "Earth Thorns"—countless sandstone spikes rose from the ground, forming a deadly thicket of thorns, forcing them to retreat in frustration.

The Digimon Tamers present were all Champion-level Digimon, and all of them were Champion-level Digimon whose combat power had been reduced due to the Dark Virus contamination. Against the fully-powered Ultimate-level Digimon, the difference in strength could not be made up even by their numbers.

"The only one who can rival him is probably Commander Feng, but..."

At this moment, those around heard Commander Feng sigh: "Wang Zheng, you lead everyone to retreat, leave the gathering place, and go to the temporary shelter."

The young people were moved to tears; this place of survival, which they had worked so hard to build, was about to be destroyed.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" Wang Zheng shed tears.

I pulled out three yellowish-brown digital spirit crystals from the Sand Dragon Beast's lair, and took them...

Captain Feng gave a wry smile. Then he said, "Among the Digimon babies signed this time, there are those from the Sanddramon line, right?"

Wang Zheng looked up in surprise: "Yes, four."

Commander Feng: "Nurture them well and take them with you."

Wang Zheng: Commander Feng, you...

The Cyclops Beast burst out of the murky data orb and landed in front of the city wall, staring at the enemy.

Commander Feng's right palm emitted a dark green light.

The one-eyed dragon beast turned and glanced at Commander Feng, then nodded firmly.

"Perhaps after this, you will never wake up again... But... the spirit of despair! Can you survive in dire straits? Evolve! Cyclopsmon."

A dark green light, like flames, enveloped the Cyclops Beast, causing its body to twist and swell. The rotting flesh on its back peeled away, revealing stark white bones, and a terrifying red light burst forth from its single eye. The flesh and blood of its already abnormally thick arm peeled away, and sharp, enormous red bone claws extended from its fingertips.

ZombieGreymon

[Virus type? Undead? Dark theme]

【Complete Form (Despair Spirit Evolution)】

[Skills: Zero Cruise Missile, Cursed Breath, Bone Armor Ram, Desperate Bone Claw]

[Introduction: An immortal Digimon evolved from Cyclops Dragonmon through a mental mutation caused by despair. Its entire body consists only of a broken skeleton and rotting flesh, with an organic missile launcher mounted on its spine. Completely devoid of reason, it acts solely on its killing instincts, spreading a deadly virus when attacking. Its very existence is a distortion of the evolutionary laws of the Digital World.]

Upon completing its evolution, Zombiemon let out a heart-wrenching roar and pounced on Protossmon without hesitation. This was Cyclopsmon's final act of devotion to its evolved form.

The collision of the two giant beasts triggered a powerful shockwave, which forced the surrounding Sand Dragon Beasts back several steps.

While the original Smothermon and Zombiemon were entangled, Sanddramon and a large number of Sand Lizardmon took the opportunity to break through the stone wall and attack the gathering place.

"Get out of here!" Commander Feng roared at Wang Zheng, who stood frozen in place. "Get everyone out of here now!"

A sand dragon chased after a group of children who were retreating.

Cheng Yuan leaped down from the rooftop, landing not far from the Sand Dragon Beast.

"Come on, you little beast, let's save them!"

He took out the Dark Flower chip and inserted it into the Arc Light Machine—

"Evolve, you little dog beast!"

A black stream of data gushed out, enveloping the dogmon and condensing into a black evolution cocoon in the air. Before Sanddramon could release Earth Thorn, a tiny black shadow rushed towards Sanddramon at lightning speed.

BlackGatomon

[Virus type? Monster type? Dark theme]

[Maturity Stage]

[Skills: Dark Claws, Shadow Assault, Dark Bubble]

[Introduction: A viral variant of Tailmon, a child of evil, it roams and lives in the chilling darkness. Its entire body is black, with a dark red glow in its eyes. It once inhabited dark regions, and is cunning and extremely aggressive, adept at using shadows to ambush prey. Its claws can tear through defenses made of light energy.]

Chapter 133 Mutual Destruction

"Whoosh-"

A dark afterimage flashed past, and the Sand Dragon's pupils contracted sharply. Before it could even activate [Earth Thorns], the dark figure had already closed in on it.

【Claws of the Night】!

BlackGatomon's claws gleamed with a dark purple light as they precisely sliced ​​across Sanddramon's vulnerable belly.

The attack was as fast as lightning, yet it possessed a chilling precision—as if BlackGatomon was born knowing how to hunt these predators.

"Hiss—" The Sand Dragon Beast let out a painful hiss as its abdominal scales were torn apart, and data gushed out like blood.

BlackGatomon landed lightly, the Flame Ring and Sacred Ring on its left ear shimmering slightly, but the most eye-catching thing was the Shadow Ring on its tail—the Sacred Ring and Shadow Ring had switched places!

BlackGatomon's golden eyes became cold and arrogant, no longer like the bright blue and gentle eyes of Puppymon or Gatomon.

It gave its opponent no chance to breathe, and its figure once again transformed into a black shadow as it pounced out.

[Shadow Strike]!

This time, BlackGatomon climbed directly onto Sanddramon's back, its claws digging deep into the gaps in the scales on its neck. Sanddramon twisted its body frantically, trying to shake off this persistent predator, but BlackGatomon remained unmoved, like a persistent leech.

"boom!"

Sanddramon crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of black dust. BlackGatomon gracefully leaped off its back, the shadow ring on its tail glowing faintly.

"Wow, that's amazing..." The rescued children stared wide-eyed at the completely black cat-shaped Digimon in disbelief.

They had never seen such a clean and efficient battle—even adult Digimon trainers in the Underworld would find it difficult to defeat a Sanddramon so easily.

Moreover, compared to those corrupted and mutated Digimon, this cat-type Digimon is simply too beautiful.

Cheng Yuan quickly stepped forward and habitually reached out to pat Gatomon's head, but the little guy dodged away immediately!

Cheng Yuan was shocked. Looking at BlackGatomon's cold and arrogant eyes, he thought, "You're no longer that cute little thing."

BlackGatomon's eyes flashed red as it glanced at Cheng Yuan. Cheng Yuan knew that it was the arrogant look one would give their human.

"Ahem... BlackGatomon, go help the others." Cheng Yuan's words caused BlackGatomon to turn its gaze to another battlefield, its figure disappearing back into the shadows.

......

"Awooo—"

BlackGarurumon let out a painful howl. Its hind legs had just been trapped by Sanddramon's Quicksand Abyss, and it was now being attacked by three Sand Lizardmon.

Wang Zheng gritted his teeth as the Dinobot kept flashing—he knew his partner was nearing his limit.

"Hold on!" Wang Zheng shouted. "Don't worry about me, deal with that Sand Dragon Beast first!"

BlackGarurumon barely dodged the Sand Lizardmon's Sand Hook Claw, but was struck in the waist by the tail of another. It staggered a few steps, and the Fox Flame it was gathering in its mouth was interrupted.

At this critical moment, a dark figure silently appeared on the edge of the battlefield.

Cat Eyes!

BlackGatomon's pupils suddenly turned an eerie red. The three Sand Lizardmon froze, their eyes also glowing red. The next moment, they turned around and frantically pounced on their leader—the Sanddramon!

"What?" Wang Zheng stared in shock at the scene. The Sand Dragon Beast was clearly not expected to be betrayed so suddenly, and was quickly entangled by its own subordinates.

BlackGarurumon seized the opportunity, enduring the pain as it leaped up, its [Ice Claw] aimed straight for Sanddramon's eye—its most vulnerable spot.

"Pfft!"

The sharp claws pierced deep, freezing the entire eyeball instantly, and the Sand Dragon Beast let out a mournful scream.

BlackGarurumon didn't stop, and immediately followed up with a heavy headbutt that slammed into its opponent, Sanddramon, on the forehead.

The massive body of the Sand Dragon Beast crashed to the ground, dissipating into data fragments.

Wang Zheng then noticed the dark figure not far away—a black cat-shaped Digimon he had never seen before.

It wears two red and gold earrings on its left ear and a black pinky ring on its tail.
