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

DarkTyrannomon raised its head and let out a deafening roar. A dark red energy ball rapidly condensed in its mouth, and the surrounding air distorted due to the high temperature.

The flying insect beast swooped down from the sky like a green lightning bolt, its sharp moonlight darts poised to strike at the edges of its wings.

The giant chicken beast spread its wings, which were three meters wide, and activated the [Petrification Power]. Its feathers instantly hardened into a metallic texture, forming a moving city wall in front of everyone.

Sunflowermon then began to emit a warm golden light, and the healing light fell on its teammates like spring rain.

"A team battle of professional beast tamers!" Cheng Yuan stared intently at the silver-horned beast's observation window, his eyes shining.

"Super Flame!"

"End the spiked nails!"

The two attacks struck Devimon simultaneously, but were deflected the moment they came into contact with the dark energy surrounding it.

The Devimon didn't even bother to dodge; it simply waved its bat wings and sent the Flymon flying like a fly.

"Hahaha!" Devimon's voice echoed from the dark cocoon, its tone grating with metallic harshness. "Is that all you've got?"

Xu Xin remained calm, his voice as steady as a rock: "Don't panic! DarkGreymon, continue the main attack! Insectmon, harass and contain! Chickenmon, protect Sunflowermon!"

Sunflowermon's healing light landed precisely on Insectmon, instantly reviving the dark green insect-type Digimon. It then nimbly maneuvered through the air, leaving Cheng Yuan envious: "That teamwork is amazing!"

The team immediately adjusted their formation, demonstrating astonishing teamwork. DarkGreymon charged up again, this time aiming at Devimon's face. Flymon, meanwhile, launched continuous harassing attacks from various angles, forcing Devimon to spread out its defenses.

The giant chicken beast stepped forward, its petrified feathers withstanding the erosion of dark energy. It tore open the dark barrier with its powerful claws, grabbed Devimon's foot, and used its petrified weight to prevent Devimon from taking off. Devimon used Dark Wave, but the giant chicken beast immediately used its petrified wings to block it. Even though its feathers were corroded, it was not afraid. The healing beam behind it immediately followed.

"Now!" Xu Xin shouted, seizing the opportunity.

"DarkGreymon, now!" Xu Xin shouted, seizing the opportunity. The blue-and-black-striped DarkGreymon leaped into the air, unleashing a Super Dark Flame that transformed into a pillar of fire that struck Devimon's face. The attack finally took effect—Devimon was forced back, the corrosive flames burning on its bat wings, sizzling and emitting a pungent, acrid smell.

"Flying Insect Beast, Poison Needle Storm!" Wang Lin's voice was hoarse. The deep green Flying Insect Beast circled rapidly in the air, and thousands of poison needles rained down like a storm. The Devimon flapped its wings, and the hurricane it created dispersed the poison needles, but some still stuck to its body.

This series of coordinated actions was textbook-perfect; this was the teamwork of professional animal trainers! Cheng Yuan watched with rapt attention.

Devimon's power and abilities at this moment far surpassed those of any other Digimon present, but Xu Xin's team managed to suppress its arrogance.

"Corrosion Special Attack Chip, activated. DarkGreymon, Super Corrosion Compressed Cold Flame!" Xu Xin held the Arc Machine in his left hand and the Corrosion Special Attack Enhancement Chip in his right. After inserting it into the Arc Machine's slot, the Arc Machine immediately flashed a dangerous red light, and scorching heat flowed out of the heat dissipation holes. It was obviously operating under overload, and all the squeezed computing power was fed back to DarkGreymon.

An eerie blue light emanated from the abdomen of DarkGreymon, a sign that the flames within its body were being compressed to an extreme degree. When this energy finally burst forth, the temperature of the entire battlefield plummeted. The super-corrosive cold flames sprayed onto Devimon, clinging to it like a malignant sore, burning incessantly no matter how much it slapped at it.

"Sizzle—" Devimon's right arm gradually melted away in the cold flames, making a sickeningly corrosive sound.

At this moment, Xu Xin removed the heated chip from the arc laser machine's slot. The arc laser machine was extremely hot, turning his left hand bright red.

"Roar!!" The Devimon roared, and suddenly several enormous dark gears burst forth from its body. These gears disintegrated in mid-air, turning into countless sharp fragments and corrosive black mist that swept across the battlefield.

"【Dark Fog】!" Devimon spewed out a black fog filled with dark energy, covering a large area of ​​the battlefield. Some Digimon coughed violently, while others began to talk nonsense. Clearly, the black fog was corrosive and deceptive.

When the smoke cleared, the demon beast's figure had vanished, leaving only a slowly healing spatial rift and a scene of utter devastation.

silence.

A deathly silence.

The battlefield, which had just been devastated, was now reduced to the rustling of a gentle breeze through the treetops.

The giant chicken's petrified feathers were scattered all over the ground, the flying insect's wings were covered in wounds, and even the most resilient DarkGreymon was panting heavily.

"They...they escaped?" Cheng Yuan rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Xu Xin's face was so gloomy it could drip water: "It forcibly interrupted its evolution, tore through space, and escaped back to the real world."

He turned to the Sunflower Beast, who was treating its teammate, and said, "The situation is worse than we thought."

Devimon actually has the ability to forcibly tear apart the barrier of the Digital Space!

This astonishing ability left everyone speechless.

But clearly, this defiant act came at a heavy price—the once abundant dark energy was now dissipating rapidly, like a deflated balloon.

"This guy," Xu Xin narrowed his eyes, his tone laced with sarcasm, "is better at escaping than at causing destruction."

"Mo Paopao is confirmed!" Cheng Yuan thought of Mo, who had helped them several times, and still found it hard to believe that it was actually a Devimon.

"No wonder our pursuit in the real world failed so many times; it turns out Digimon can disguise themselves as humans!" exclaimed the burly tamer of the Giant Chickenmon. "This is serious!"

"This involves too many issues for us to handle," said the Sunflower Beast's tamer, pushing up his glasses. "Let's file a report."

"Its current state is very unstable," Xu Xin analyzed. "We must find it before it completes its evolution!"

The golden-horned beast and the silver-horned beast had regained their mobility and stood warily to one side.

The Windstorm Beast was crushed, the Demon Beast was devoured, and the Sepikmon and Targetmon stood awkwardly in place—they could hardly get involved in the battle just now.

"What should we do with these Digimon?" Cheng Yuan asked in a low voice.

"Wang Lin, report to the association immediately." Xu Xin's voice brooked no argument. "Mobilize all armed forces in Pengcheng; search high and low to find it!"

Thinking of the injuries Devimon sustained when its evolution was interrupted, the interrupted evolution, and the large amount of data left behind, Xu Xin's brows furrowed even more: "The next time we meet, we might be facing a semi-complete form..."

Cheng Yuan suddenly remembered something and quickly checked on the little dog's condition.

The little guy's sacred halo was dim and lifeless, but fortunately it was not further corrupted by darkness.

"It said it would recall all the Dark Gears..." Cheng Yuan said worriedly. "I'm wondering... could it be... that there are many Dark Gears in the real world that it can absorb?"

Xu Xin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said with a serious expression, "To correct you, what we may be facing is a true, fully-formed being."

They cannot leave the digital space immediately, and there is still much cleanup work to be done.

Xu Xin looked around at the four adult-level Digimon present—Gold Horn and Silver Horn were already injured, and the two monkeys were almost exhausted.

"What are your plans?" Xu Xin asked bluntly.

Target Beast scratched his newly acquired AJ sneakers: "We want to stay in Green Fruit Mountain."

The Sepikmon's mask glowed slightly in agreement.

The golden unicorn patted its silver unicorn brother's knee: "Let's go back to Gold and Silver Lake, and I promise we won't cause any more trouble."

"No way," Xu Xin refused decisively.

The golden-horned beast was instantly enraged, and its spiked club crackled with electricity.

However, the professional tamers' Digimon all stepped forward at the same time, and the threat they posed was self-evident.

"This digital space is too small; it can't accommodate so many mature stages," Xu Xin explained calmly.

The golden-horned beast's eyes darted around: "If I could, I'd like to leave this digital space with my brother and venture out into the outside world to challenge even more powerful beings!"

Xu Xin remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Seeing his silence, the golden-horned beast sneered, "Do you intend to kill us?"

Xu Xin suddenly revealed a mysterious smile: "There is a place... a place with countless powerful Digimon, a vast area that can never be fully explored." He paused deliberately, "provided you are strong enough to survive."

"Where?" The golden-horned beast's eyes lit up.

"Dark area!" Xu Xin uttered these four words softly, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.
