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

Cheng Yuan's gaze was drawn to the dozen or so beams of light that shot into the sky from the audience seats.

The Digimon about to evolve broke through their final bottleneck to the melody of "Brave Heart," and their transforming outlines could be vaguely seen in the pillar of light.

"It really works..." Cheng Yuan muttered to himself. This divine song of evolution from his previous life truly possessed the magical power to catalyze the evolution of Digimon and help them break through their bottlenecks.

However, the pounding in his chest grew stronger and stronger, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Ah—!" A scream suddenly came from the audience.

Cheng Yuan turned his head sharply and saw clumps of black mist seeping out from the vents and seat gaps, writhing in the air like living things. These black mists quickly condensed into countless bat-shaped shadows, emitting a piercing shriek.

The entire music plaza instantly descended into chaos.

The alarm blared, and the security system's protective shield activated, but it was too late.

The shadowy bats gathered in the air, gradually forming a bloody and evil silhouette—a scarlet skull, enormous bat wings, a twisted bone staff, and a pair of blood-red eyes filled with hatred.

"Zombie Satan Beast..." Cheng Yuan gasped.

Even just by looking at the outline, he would never mistake it. In his memories of his past life, this Digimon was terrifyingly powerful, even comparable to some Ultimate-level Digimon. It once defeated the entire group of Perfect-level protagonists with a single move, and even silenced the Ultimate-level Imperialdramon with a single attack, "Claw Bone"!

Cheng Yuan looked around. The gathering of professional beast tamers, the special layout of the music venue... A terrifying thought flashed through his mind—although the monster in front of him had a skeletal appearance, he realized that this monster was very likely the missing demon beast "Mo" that had evolved after absorbing the evil beast!

As soon as the zombie Satan Beast took shape, it raised its bone staff and activated [Hell Summoning].

Space was torn apart, and three hellish calamity beasts crawled out of the crack, wielding tridents and dripping viscous black oil from their wings.

[Calamity Beast]

[Virus Type - Little Devil Type - Dark Theme]

[Maturity Stage]

[Skills: Nightmare Shock, Claw Strike]

[Description: Possesses bat-like wings and a tail, wielding a small trident. Cunning and ruthless, enjoys bullying the weak and outnumbering, and is adept at achieving her goals through despicable means.]

At the same time, more and more Devimon swarmed out of the rift.

Once all his minions were in place, the zombie Satan Beast began chanting a loud incantation.

If there were Digimon in the world of Wicherny, they would know that this is a high-level programming language called "magic" in Wicherny.

"Dark Gear, return at once." The voice of the zombie Satan Beast was like the scraping of metal, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

The music square instantly turned into a living hell.

Hordes of Impmon wreaked havoc everywhere, and the black mist emitted by ZombieSatanmon polluted the surrounding Digimon.

Cheng Yuan witnessed several Rookie-level Digimon suddenly turn blood red in the eyes and begin indiscriminately attacking those around them.

"Ah! Where's my insect beast?!"

"Help! Where's security?"

"Run!"

The stage began to tilt amidst the commotion. At the critical moment, several penguin beasts joined forces to use [Ice Prism Mirror], using ice pillars to support the shaky structure.

"Everyone, stay calm!" Yun Yao's voice came over the loudspeaker, but panic had already spread like a plague.

A calamity beast spotted Cheng Yuan in the VIP area, its trident thrusting straight at him. Almost without thinking, Cheng Yuan hugged the little dog beast tightly: "Divine Barrier!"

A golden barrier instantly unfolded, blocking the attack from the Champion-level Digimon with the combined boost of Holy and Vaccine types, but its surface was immediately covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

This pure, sacred energy, like a beacon in the darkness, instantly attracted the attention of the zombie Satan beast.

"It's you!" The zombie Satan Beast's venomous gaze locked onto Cheng Yuan.

Faced with the terrifying pressure of the fully formed form, Cheng Yuan calmed down instead.

He looked directly into those scarlet eyes: "We meet again, Mo!"

The zombie Satan Beast sensed that the Dark Gear was no longer inside the puppy beast.

"I see... You know how to remove the gear." Its voice was like rusty metal rubbing against each other.

Cheng Yuan keenly noticed that the "black core" encased in the crimson ribs of the zombie Satan Beast had an abnormal pale gray color. This was clearly different from its fully evolved state in his memory—Cheng Yuan realized that it had not yet fully evolved, and was at most only a semi-fully evolved form!

But that's enough to dominate the entire field!

"Now that the gears are gone, you can die." The zombie Satan Beast raised its bone staff.

"Fire a barrage of holy light bullets!" Cheng Yuan made a decisive decision.

The sacred halo around the puppy beast's neck shone brightly, and twelve light bullets shot out in two waves. The zombie Satan beast contemptuously blocked them with its bone staff; the first six were deflected, while the latter six exploded on its body, leaving only a few charred marks.

"Overestimating yourself." The zombie Satan Beast grinned maliciously, raising its claws as dark energy condensed into a crimson sphere of light at its fingertips. Cheng Yuan picked up the puppy beast and turned to run.

"Cheng Yuan!" Yun Yao's scream came from the direction of the stage.

The puppy beast turned its head and stared at it. The six holy light bullets that had been deflected earlier instantly changed direction in mid-air and rushed towards the zombie Satan beast's body.

Although it was only at the level of a child, the purity of the Holy and Light attributes of the puppymon was high, and the dual suppression of darkness by Holy and Light, and of the virus species by the vaccine species, caused several scorching rings to appear on the body of the zombie Satanmon.

However, it still couldn't interrupt its skill [Special Beam Cannon], the level difference was too great.

"boom--!"

Just as the [Special Beam Cannon] was about to fire, a dark shadow crashed through the ceiling of the music plaza, its long horns slamming heavily into the zombie Satanmon. Xu Xin's Dark Tyrannomon descended from the sky!

Four military helicopters hovered overhead, their ropes still swaying in the wind.

The crimson beam veered off course, sweeping across the central stage and instantly severing several key metal pillars. The entire dome emitted a sickeningly distorted sound, on the verge of collapse.

"Roar—!" The roar of DarkGreymon shook the entire music plaza.

"It's you again, you slave Digimon!" ZombieSatanmon was enraged and completely abandoned Cheng Yuan, turning its attention to attacking DarkGreymon.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and the battle escalates instantly.

Each collision between the two dark-type Digimon generated terrifying shockwaves, blasting away all the surrounding seats. Although DarkGreymon was only at the Champion level, under Xu Xin's skillful command, its thick hide and tough flesh allowed it to temporarily withstand the onslaught of ZombieSatanmon.

Several calamity beasts tried to surround them.

"All Champion-level Digimon, provide immediate support!" Xu Xin shouted at the Arc Light Machine.

Suddenly, several Champion-level Digimon leaped out from the guest seats—besides Insectmon, Giant Chickenmon, and Sunflowermon, there were also Eaglemon, Armadillomon, and Cactusmon... They formed a defensive line, attempting to stop the offensive of Zombiemon and Calamitymon.

"Shield activated, maximum power! All Rookie-level Digimon, protect the audience!"

Dozens of T-Rex machines simultaneously emitted Xu Xin's voice.

Professional tamers and military soldiers released their partners one after another, and another Riftmon joined the battle. The eight Champion-level Digimon barely managed to hold off ZombieSatanmon and Calamitymon!

The protective shield is activated and operates at maximum power.

The zombie Satanmon and the Champion-level Digimon were enveloped within, making the battlefield instantly appear crowded.

"Sheriffs, proceed with the evacuation plan!" The "ordinary spectators" in the stands suddenly sprang into action. They skillfully released their Digimon partners and methodically guided the crowd to evacuate.

Cheng Yuan then realized that these people were likely plainclothes police officers and animal trainers.

Is this really a setup?

But they soon discovered that the exit of the music plaza was blocked by countless Digimon, making it impossible for the crowd to evacuate.

Worse still, the bat-shaped shadows outside the protective shield began to coalesce into small demon beasts, which screamed and pounced on the panicked crowd.

Those tamers in the audience with better mental fortitude immediately sprang into action, releasing their Digimon partners to clear out the little devilmon.

Taking advantage of the gap before the protective shield restarted, Cheng Yuan rushed out. He directed the puppy beast to clear a path through the black mist and the little devil beast, heading straight for the collapsed stage.

"Aww, below the Ultimate level, they're all reptiles!" Zombie Satanmon held its own against numerous Champion-level Digimon.

But it soon discovered that its "black core" was gradually becoming empty.

With an angry roar, ZombieSatanmon suddenly spread its wings, and a strong dark wave repelled several Champion-level Digimon.

It raised its hands, and the corrupted Digimon outside the square fell to the ground, their Dark Gears forcibly extracted and flying towards the Zombie Satanmon.

With each gear it absorbed, the zombie Satan Beast swelled further, and its dark energy grew increasingly concentrated. The pale gray "black core" began to transform into a deep black...

At the same time, at the Pengcheng Digital Evolution Research Institute, Andromon's evolution egg suddenly trembled violently.

At this moment, Zhao Zheng was standing in front of the live broadcast screen. The light stream representing public security data was frantically pouring into the evolution cocoon. The data vaguely showed images of zombie Satan beasts destroying the city's public security.
