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

The sludge 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, grotesque demonic beasts emitting chilling laughs, carrying a soul-freezing aura; and even more undead and ghosts of various shapes and sizes, their rotting flesh, exposed bones, and twisted faces all radiating 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 Type]

[Maturity Stage]

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

[Introduction: These are 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 they do not need sleep, making them pure combat machines. They usually act in groups. While a single Digimon is not particularly strong, their sheer numbers make them difficult to withstand in a human wave tactic. The energy within an injured Digimon is extracted and transferred to a new special rubber body, thus allowing them to be reborn as new Digimon. They have been sent to the battlefield multiple times.]

【Mud Beast】

[Virus species? Amorphous]

[Maturity Stage]

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

[Description: An amorphous Digimon formed from sewage and decaying data, its body covered in sticky sludge and emitting a foul stench. Its body structure is extremely unstable, allowing it to freely transform to evade attacks and also 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 (the beasts)!

The air instantly dropped to freezing point, and the sticky, malice was almost suffocating!

"I'll take care of the Undead type! Gatomon, the 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 entwined with 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 the ghost-type Digimon.

"Understood! Protect the barrier!" Baron Beast replied calmly, slamming the ancient book in its massive claws into the ground!

With a whoosh, 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 pounce.

They were restless, howling, their eyes lingering on Cheng Yuan.

The dark and pure aura of the Dark Beast was a tremendous predatory pressure on the undead, and the sacred radiance of the Dilu Beast instilled in them an instinctive aversion and fear.

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 attribute power surging within his body and within Tailmon'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 value!

Moreover, during the days he traveled along the ruins route, he did not neglect his training. During each rest period, he would train with his dog, gradually becoming familiar with his body.

In addition, there's the "Blood Evolution" technique of the demon sword in his hand, which can continuously grow stronger by absorbing blood...

This is their trump card, their last chance for survival!

"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, howling Demonmon, and a large number of Rising 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 soldier beast!

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

Clang!

The demonic sword "Blood Evolution" collided violently with the massive 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 covering the beast's skull, he raised another demonic blade, which, like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, instantly pierced through the soldier beast's ribs and viciously extracted its digital blood!

"Ugh—!" The soldier beast let out a terrible howl at the soul level!

Conquer (Blood Absorption)!

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

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 that absorbed from a Digimon like Bloodwolfmon, which uses blood as its energy source.

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

[Blood Assault]!

The filthy blood formed a crescent-shaped, solidified, scarlet blood blade, which then flew off the sword! It carried a piercing sound as it tore through the air and possessed terrifying cutting power!

*Thud! Thud! Boom!*

The blood-red 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-red blade!

Even more terrifying, the blood-red blade continued its relentless advance, cleaving through two smaller, unavoidable soldier beasts behind it! The three streams of pure death data partially assimilated into digital blood, flowing 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 fairy, nimbly traversed the battlefield.

【Shadow Clone】! Its small figure splits 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 sacred ring like a machine gun, precisely blasting at the ghost-type Digimon that were trying to bypass the source and rush towards the wall of light.

Chi Chi Chi!

Holy Light Bullets are practically poisonous to ghostly entities like Demon Beasts!

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

The struck demonic beasts let out a horrifying, grotesque howl. Both the virus and the ghostly attribute were completely countered by the Holy Light. 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 black data smoke and dissipating!

Baron remained firmly at the rear, the jewel 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 rock, and a crimson lava fissure suddenly split open in the ground several meters ahead! The fissure extended rapidly forward, erupting right beneath a sludge 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 has a unique body structure, making it largely immune to ordinary physical attacks. However, it is countered by fire-type moves, which bake it into hard mud fragments by high-temperature flames. Baronmon's evolution in this regard can be described as extremely worthwhile.

"White Spell!" Baron Beast launched another attack.

A soft white light emanated from its hand. A ball of pure 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 and turned to ashes with screams!

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

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

He fought with increasing ferocity, the blood-red light on his blade growing ever brighter, and his attack range expanding ever wider! The crimson 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 ghosts, each one fearless and undaunted.

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

It is only in its mature stage after all, with limited energy reserves, and unlike the Dark Beast, it does not have the blood absorption skill, which is a powerful ability for sustaining large-scale 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.

"Gitomon! 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 claws reached into the data space, instantly taking out a golden armored egg that exuded a warm and sacred aura—the Divine Digital Spirit!

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

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

"Gitomon - 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 and beautiful golden ram horns, the tips of which are entwined with sacred points of light. Around its neck is an alloy collar inlaid with sacred runes, and its entire being exudes a powerful yet pure divine aura!

[Goat Beast]

[Vaccine Type, Beast Type, Divine Series]

[Armored Body - Mature Form]

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

[Introduction: 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 relics since ancient times. A powerful barrier protects vital data!]

"Clang clang clang—!" The goat beast, now fully evolved, emitted a series of clear, melodious bells from the sacred bells around its neck, like the tolling of church bells, instantly dispelling the surrounding chilling and ghostly aura!

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

With the addition of the goat beast, the sacred radiance and the mysterious bells spread their barrier, and a ghostly threat suddenly descended.

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

Baronmon's fire control and white spells delivered precise kills, while Capymon used its divine 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, earth-shattering roar, like a thousand thunderbolts exploding simultaneously, instantly enveloped the entire battlefield in an indescribable, violent pressure.

Xing Suo looked up at the shadow of the huge rock.

The sleeping, mad lion beast has awakened!

Chapter 147 Bloodbath! The Mad Lion Beast

His massive body slowly rose to his feet, his black mane bristling like raging black flames, each hair standing on end!

A violent stream of black data flows from the gaps in the stitched-up purple skin!

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

Its blood-red "eyes" instantly locked onto the most powerful and bloodthirsty being on the battlefield—the dark beast covered in blood, its demonic blade gleaming crimson—Cheng Yuan!

“Half-complete form…” Cheng Yuan’s heart sank to the bottom, but the surging power from the demon sword stirred up a crazy fighting spirit in him!

"Baronmon! Try to find its weakness with that eye! Goatmon, use Divine Halo 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 jewel in the center of Baronmon's helmet instantly shone brightly, shooting towards the berserk lionmon like a searchlight. Countless tiny streams of data flashed past the jewel, analyzing and predicting!

"Divine Protection!" the goat-beast roared, and a halo of divine light, larger and more solid than before, expanded from its center, enveloping the emblems of the Darkbeast and the Baron-beast.

Wherever the halo passed, the chaotic and filthy data streams emanating from the mad lion beast seemed to encounter its nemesis, emitting a sizzling sound as they were forcibly suppressed and purified!

"Roar!" Enraged by the divine halo, the berserk lion beast unleashed its massive claws, accompanied by a terrifying gale that tore through space, as it slammed 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 blade "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 claws was like detonating a bomb! Blinding energy turbulence, mixed with scarlet and dark light fragments, splattered wildly!

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