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

Dark gears surged in from all directions like a torrential rain, breaking through the gaps in the protective shield and frantically pouring into the zombie Satan Beast's body.

With each gear that merged into its body, the skeleton expanded a little more, the bones emitting a teeth-grinding "click-clack" sound, and dark energy surged on its surface like viscous oil.

"Oh no!" Cheng Yuan's expression changed drastically. "It's using the Dark Gear to complete its evolution!"

Cheng Yuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The sight before them was horrifying—the twisted skeleton of the zombie Satan Beast was undergoing a horrific distortion, and the ripped-out dark gears were writhing and merging into its body like living things.

With each gear it devoured, the skeleton's body swelled, its bones emitting a teeth-grinding "crunch."

"I see..." Cheng Yuan instantly understood the situation.

Under the joint control measures of the Tamers Association and the Public Security Bureau, quarantine and isolation measures throughout the city have cut off most sources of infection. The number of infected Digimon capable of breaking through the numerous blockades to reach the Music Plaza sewers is limited, which results in the black core on Zombie Satanmon's chest remaining an incomplete gray.

The main point is to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside!

He picked up the Digivice: "Teacher Xu, have everyone attack the Dark Gear! Stop it from completing its evolution!"

"Listen up, everyone!" Xu Xin's voice was transmitted to all the beast tamers through the Arc Light Machine: "Attack the Dark Gears in the air! Take down as many as you can!"

The little dog's holy ring suddenly lit up, and six holy light orbs shot out in a fan shape. The orbs drew elegant arcs in the air, accurately hitting four speeding gears. Immediately afterwards, four shadow orbs followed, dissolving the remaining gears into black mist.

Once the Dark Gear is detached from the body, it becomes extremely fragile.

"Agumon, use Small Flame!"

"Gabumon, Flamethrower!"

"Beetle Beast, Small Lightning!"

"Palumon, Vine Sweep!"

"Gear Beast, Gear Saw!"

"Patamon, Air Cannon!"

"Biyomon, Magic Flame!"

……

The Rookie-level Digimon responded enthusiastically, their various skills weaving into a dazzling barrage of firepower in the air. Dark Gears exploded one after another, but many still managed to break through the defenses and pierce the body of ZombieSatanmon.

"You ignorant fools!" The roar of the zombie Satanmon shook the ground, its skeletal face contorted with rage. It had intended to crush these troublesome Rookie-level Digimon, but was thwarted by the desperate attacks of several Champion-level Digimon.

The Zombie Satan Beast roared and swung its claws, unleashing a torrent of viscous dark energy. Although its evolution was not yet complete, the power displayed by the semi-complete Zombie Satan Beast was already terrifying.

Cheng Yuan watched helplessly as the giant chicken beast of Xu Xin's team was swatted away by a single claw; its prized petrified feathers were as fragile as paper in the face of overwhelming power. The armored beast attempted to withstand the attack with its steel body, but was lifted up by the zombie Satan beast with one hand and slammed to the ground like trash. The eagle beast spread its wings and swooped down to rescue them, only to have a jet-black energy beam pierce its wings, sending it plummeting with a mournful cry.

"This power... is terrifying..." Cheng Yuan unconsciously swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

These normally imposing Champion-level Digimon were utterly vulnerable before ZombieSatanmon. Only DarkGreymon managed to hold on thanks to the defensive enhancements provided by Xu Xin's Arc Machine, but each clash left it with horrifying wounds, while the Arc Machine, constantly operating at overload, had already burned Xu Xin's right hand bright red.

"If this continues..." Cheng Yuan bit his lower lip hard until he tasted rust. The little beast in his arms was panting heavily, and the light of the Holy Ring had dimmed considerably, but it was still relentlessly releasing Holy Light Bullets, and had already successfully intercepted dozens of Dark Gears.

Cheng Yuan stumbled through the wreckage of musical instruments scattered on the ground and rushed towards the center stage. He found the "beast wall" formed by Star Beasts and Pick Beasts and shielded the unconscious Yun Yao in the middle. The girl's pale face still had traces of stage makeup glitter, and her eyelashes cast delicate shadows under the lights.

"Take her away quickly!" Starmon's voice was filled with anxiety, its golden body already covered in wounds.

"Pick! Pick!"

Cheng Yuan carefully lifted Yun Yao's neck and knees; the girl was even lighter than he had imagined.

Just as he turned around, Yun Yao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hazy eyes met his gaze, but quickly closed weakly again.

Below the stage, the battle situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse. Cheng Yuan watched as one Champion-level Digimon after another fell to the onslaught of ZombieSatanmon, his heart pounding in his chest.

He carried Yun Yao through the chaotic crowd until he saw paramedics in white coats, at which point he breathed a sigh of relief and handed her over to them.

"Please." Cheng Yuan said briefly, then turned around and summoned the little dog beast. Although the light of the Holy Ring was dim, his azure eyes remained resolute.

They must race against time; every intercepted Dark Gear could change the course of the battle.

Just as DarkGreymon was missing a word, he looked back at the main battlefield inside the protective shield and was greatly surprised.

Just as DarkGreymon was about to unleash its Super Corrosive Cold Flame, Death Bone Claw grabbed its neck! The Super Flame was about to erupt from its throat!

At this critical moment, a piercing buzzing sound suddenly came from the dome of the arena.

Cheng Yuan looked up and saw a silver figure streaking across the sky like a meteor, the spiral sword gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"That is..." Cheng Yuan's eyes widened.

"A beast with a 50/50 score!"

A silver lightning bolt ripped through the sky, and Andromon descended from the heavens with the force of thunder!

The right arm's spiraling sword struck the Death Bone Claw precisely at its joint, blinding sparks accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal snapping echoing throughout the arena. The severed bone claw crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

As the smoke cleared, Cheng Yuan finally saw the stunning mechanical warrior making its grand entrance—its streamlined silver armor gleamed with a cold metallic sheen in the sunlight, the red five-pointed star sheriff's badge in the center of its breastplate shone brightly, and the spiral sword on its right arm spun rapidly, emitting a chilling hum.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, DarkTyrannomon unleashed a torrent of super cold flames that had been building up in its throat, instantly incinerating the two lurking Calamitymon into data dust.

"You've come at just the right time." Xu Xin's voice came from not far away, and a hint of relief could be seen on Xu Xin's usually calm face.

"The Sheriff Digimon Andromon has officially taken over the battlefield." The Mech Warrior's voice came through the built-in speaker, each syllable carrying the cold, hard texture unique to metal, yet containing an undeniable authority.

"Gatling gun!" Andromon's left arm armor suddenly unfolded, spitting out ferocious tongues of fire, accurately shooting down the horde of Impmons and Dark Gears that were darting around in the sky.

Cheng Yuan couldn't help but smile: "A fully-level Andromon... this is truly a godsend."

But then he thought of his impression of this "King of 50/50" from his past life, and pondered to himself: "Delaying time is definitely not a problem, but to completely defeat Zombie Satanmon is probably..." He recalled the classic scene in the anime where Andromon could fight any opponent to a standstill.

As Cheng Yuan had predicted, the battle between Andromon and Zombie Satanmon quickly became a stalemate.

Each collision between the Spiral Sword and the Death Bone Claw exploded in the air with dazzling sparks, and the clash between missiles and dark energy created a spectacular display of energy fireworks under the dome.

The two Digimon moved so fast it was dazzling; the audience could only catch glimpses of two afterimages, one silver and one blood-red, constantly intersecting, separating, and colliding in the center of the arena.

In the audience, the still-shaken tamers raised their Digivices to scan the suddenly appearing mechanical warrior, only to find that the encyclopedia showed "data not included".

This mysterious silver warrior was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the terrifying zombie Satan Beast, rekindling the flames of hope in the desperate crowd.

"As expected of the king of 50/50" Cheng Yuan had just thought to himself when he saw Andro's breastplate suddenly crack open, revealing two rows of gleaming missile launchers.

"Justice Missiles!" Two specially made missiles, trailing blue flames, shot straight into the sky, accurately striking the last Calamity Beast. The violent explosion shook the entire arena.

"Continue the evacuation! Maintain order!" Zhao Zheng's deep voice resounded throughout the area through Andromon's external speaker system: "Proceed as planned."

Xu Xin suddenly turned around and looked at the woman behind him who was silently watching the battle.

Cheng Yuan had noticed her before—she was wearing an elegant horse-face skirt, and her snow-white stand-up collar shirt accentuated her ethereal气质. Only then did Cheng Yuan notice that, despite the chaotic scene, her clothes were completely spotless.

"Sister Xiaochun, it's time for the Twelve Divine Generals to close the net."

Xu Xin's voice carried a respect that Cheng Yuan had never heard before.

The woman called "Sister Xiaochun" smiled slightly, like a plum blossom just beginning to bloom—reserved yet full of power. She slowly took out an antique-looking Tyrannosaurus Rex from her bosom, the ancient runes engraved on the body swirling with a mysterious halo under the light.

"Go, Jade Rabbit!"
