He believed that once the hot-tempered Red King heard him ask that question, even if he had some connection with the Black King, he would definitely draw his weapon, point it at that damned guy, and shout that he would kill him.

However, under the expectant gaze of the Blue King, the Red King, known for his volatile temper, slowly raised his head, glanced at the blasphemer, and uttered a sentence devoid of any anger.

"I have no objection."

Blue King was stunned. He never expected that Red King, on whom he had placed such high hopes, would betray him at this moment.

Not only Blue King, but even Moon Rock was stunned. Moon Rock had never seen Red King so calm before. In the past, when Red King saw him, he would immediately activate his enhanced armor and bombard him with missiles while laughing wildly, acting like a crazy little girl.

In just a few words, the Purple King's patience had completely run out. He swung his scepter, smashing a bolt of purple lightning against the wall, and then glared at the Blue King with unprecedented dominance.

"This is a royal council meeting. If you have any personal grudges, go outside and settle them. Don't waste your breath here."

Having said that, the Purple King ignored the Blue King, who was trembling with rage, and surveyed the entire scene with an air of dominance.

"I'm sure you've all guessed my purpose, so I won't stand on ceremony. In short, who will go to Wuxian Mountain!"

Before anyone knew it, the Yellow King had circled around to behind the Red King, and the clown mask, which usually gave people a sinister and cunning feeling, became even more terrifying.

He slowly twirled his ornate cane, not answering the Purple King's question, but instead leaning closer to the Red King and seemingly casually saying,

"Speaking of which, the Purple King wants to resurrect is the first Red King. If he is resurrected, then to whom should the Red Legion [Solar Prominences] belong?"

Less than a week ago in real time, due to the schemes of the Yellow King, the second-generation Red King, Scarlet Rain, was forced to kill his predecessor and friend, Cherry Castle, with his own hands, causing him to be permanently removed from the Accelerated World and to lose all memories of Accelerated World.

A week ago, the hot-tempered Crimson Rain roared and swore an oath to kill the Yellow King and avenge Cherry Castle. But now, just a week later, she seems to have forgotten about it, looking at the Yellow King indifferently, unmoved by his words.

"The first generation's [Solar Prominence] and my [Solar Prominence] have the same name, but their high-ranking officers are completely different. All the officers under my command were promoted by me. If the first generation wants [Solar Prominence], I can simply leave with my people and leave the Solar Prominence to him."

"Oh! How magnanimous! No wonder he is a king. It seems I was just overthinking it."

As he spoke, the Yellow King slowly retreated from the Scarlet Rain, and the staff in his hand stopped spinning.

Seeing him step back, Crimson Rain breathed a sigh of relief and released her right hand that was holding the weapon.

The Crimson Rain, a red-themed weapon, boasts incredibly powerful attacks, but its health and defense are unremarkable. The Yellow King's magnificent staff, on the other hand, is his strongest enhancement, its power increasing with each rotation.

Judging from the number of times the staff spun, if the Red King doesn't have time to activate his enhanced armor [Immovable Fortress], he is very likely to be severely injured by the Yellow King in one blow.

Although the Yellow King had retreated, Crimson Rain remained somewhat wary. She then looked at the Purple King, her voice low and serious, and said slowly,

"I can go to Infinity Mountain with you, and I can fight the Dark Masters with you, but I have a condition: I also want an Ultimate Digital Core."

The purpose of the Purple King's eagerness to convene the Royal Council was the Ultimate Digital Core. When he heard that Crimson Rain was actually eyeing the Ultimate Digital Core, he was immediately enraged.

However, before the Purple King could unleash her anger, Scarlet Rain's next words completely dissipated it.

"If all four Heavenly Kings are killed, only one Ultimate Digicore will appear. I can give this to you, but you and the resurrected First Generation must fully assist me in hunting other Ultimate Digicores until I obtain the Ultimate Digicore."

There was absolutely no need to consider these conditions; the Purple King nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Sure, you want to revive your predecessor, right? I promise I'll help you obtain an Ultimate Digital Core."

The death of her predecessor was no secret, and Crimson Rain didn't care that Purple King had guessed her plans. She nodded slightly, and the contract was thus established.

Scarlet Rain's generous relinquishment of the first Ultimate Digital Core was naturally based on its own considerations.

Firstly, among the seven kings, only she is a second-generation king; the others are first-generation kings, and all have some connection with the deceased first-generation Red King. To resurrect the first-generation Red King, the other kings might give the Purple King face and help her conquer Infinity Mountain. However, if she wants to resurrect her predecessor, the other kings might not be so willing to help. Therefore, it's better to use this condition to bring both the Purple King and the first-generation Red King to her aid.

Her previous indifference to her feud with Yueyan stemmed from this consideration. She was well aware of Yueyan's strength, and if possible, she wanted to win Yueyan over to help her.

Secondly, no one had ever used the Ultimate Digital Core before, and no one knew how to use it. So Crimson Rain took the opportunity of Purple King reviving the first Crimson King to accumulate some experience, so as to avoid any accidents when reviving its predecessor.

With the Crimson Rain deal finalized, the other kings who had connections with the first Crimson King naturally wouldn't want to spoil the mood at this time.

Blue King, who had just been quite offended by Purple King, was the first to step forward. Completely unconcerned about what had just happened, he laughed heartily a few times and held up one finger.

"With a high-level enhanced outfit, I, the Blue King, will be your hired hand during the event."

Although high-level enhanced outfits are very valuable, hiring a king with just one high-level enhanced outfit is practically a steal.

The taciturn Green King nodded and slowly uttered the words, "Same as above."

Subsequently, Kuroyukihime accepted the Purple King's offer of employment on the condition that "the Aurora Ring cannot attack the Dark Nebula's base for six months in the real world."

Unfortunately, the mysterious White King was absent from this meeting again, sending only a subordinate. A mere subordinate is naturally not qualified to make decisions on behalf of the king, therefore, the White King's participation remains uncertain.

In the end, only the Yellow King was left.

"My appearance fee...?"

With a drawn-out final syllable, the King of the Yellow Kingdom tapped his mask lightly with his cane, letting out a mocking laugh.

Just when everyone thought the cunning King Huang was about to make an exorbitant demand, they heard him say,

"Any enhanced armor piece will do."

Although Huang Wang's conditions sound similar to Lan Wang's, they are actually worlds apart.

There are varying degrees of enhancement for equipment, and even a newbie can get a level 1 enhancement. Huang Wang's words are practically the same as "I can do whatever I want for a penny," which is even more generous than thirteen times for six dollars.

Everyone was stunned by such a conscientious statement, but soon the group of the first kings reacted.

Yes, back then, the first Red King was the only friend that the Yellow King acknowledged.

With this thought in mind, the group of kings' impressions of the Yellow King changed considerably; he didn't seem so unpleasant anymore.

Chapter Twenty: Saturation Bombardment

"Unseen and unheard!"

"A fatal blow!"

"The eight winds are extinguished!"

"Saturation bombardment!"

Surrounding the towering ancient wood-type Digimon, the four Accelerators of different colors unleashed their strongest attacks in perfect unison.

Seeing its body become fragmented, the tree spirit beast knew that its life had come to an end.

Staring resentfully at the four Accelerators who attacked it, and the many more watching from afar, the Tree Spirit Beast used its remaining life force, and the hatred that even the waters of the five lakes and four seas could not wash away, to utter its final curse.

"You will all die, die in this forest! King Puppet Beast will avenge me, kill you all, and I will be reborn from your corpses!!"

Not far away, a large number of Accelerators were watching the battle, with several kings standing at the very front of the group.

Seeing that the battle was over, and ready to use illusion magic to support his subordinates and facilitate their escape from the fight, King Huang stopped the slow rotation of his cane.

Turning his gaze away from the battlefield, Blue King was the first to summarize the hunting operation that had been underway for some time.

"So far, we have hunted down four Ultimate-level Digimon: Megadramon, DigiEggmon, Zudomon, and Treespiremon. Based on these four battles, the combat power of Ultimate-level Digimon is approaching that of a behemoth-level public enemy. Moreover, even among Ultimate-level Digimon, the strength of their abilities can vary depending on the individual, and some Ultimate-level Digimon can be troublesome even for large teams."

Recalling the abnormally high defense of that Digimon Egg, the other kings nodded in agreement. Especially Kuroyukihime; seeing the Digimon Egg's high defense, she had tried attacking it a few times out of curiosity, but could only knock it away, causing almost no damage.

"A fully evolved form can easily defeat a dozen or even dozens of mature forms. By that logic, the combat power of an ultimate form could very well have reached the level of a divine beast."

Seeing that the others did not raise any objections, Lan Wang continued to summarize.

"And those Ultimate-level beings that can be called the 'Four Heavenly Kings' must not be the weakest among Ultimate-level beings. Therefore,"

Gazing intently at the other kings, the Blue King spoke in a low voice.

"I think we should all go together in this battle."

"I have no objection."

"Agreed."

"Tsk, let's do it this way."

"Can"

The people standing at the top of the acceleration did not show any sign of underestimating the enemy. They all calmly agreed to Blue King's proposal and did not recklessly suggest going it alone.

After deciding on the battle formation, everyone turned their attention to King Huang. In the mission assignment, King Huang and his Yellow Legion were responsible for intelligence gathering.

Shrugging, King Huang didn't delay and directly presented the intelligence he had compiled.

"According to my subordinates' investigation, Puppetmon, one of the Dark Masters, should be in this forest. As for the whereabouts of the other Dark Masters, we don't know yet. We only know that their names are Mugendramon, MetalSeadramon, and Piedmon."

"This forest? You mean there's no exact coordinates, just that it's in this forest? This forest is so big, are we going to search it bit by bit?"

Upon hearing Huang Wang's words, Zi Wang, who already had a bad temper, flashed a hint of annoyance in his eyes and questioned him without any politeness.

The first Red King was a friend of the Yellow King, but his girlfriend, the Purple King, was not. The Purple King's attitude was impolite, so the Yellow King naturally wouldn't give her any face either, immediately saying in a rather sarcastic tone,

"Of course I want the detailed coordinates too, but don't forget, there's a prefix 'Darkness' before the title of the Four Heavenly Kings. To those Digimon, the Four Heavenly Kings are equivalent to demon lords. They're too busy hiding to pay attention to their movements. Do you think this is a novel about a hero fighting a demon lord? That any random villager knows where the demon lord is?"

The Purple King trembled with rage, but could not utter a word in rebuttal. Although she wanted to fight, her dignity as a queen did not allow her to do anything unbecoming in front of so many ordinary Accelerators, so she could only suppress her anger and remain silent.

Glancing at the seemingly endless sea of ​​trees, and roughly estimating the time the search would take, the Red King clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"Tsk, it's just a forest. Since we can't pinpoint the target, I might as well just bombard it and flatten it, then let it come out on its own."

Upon hearing this, the Purple King's eyes lit up, and he let out a soft, slightly excited exclamation.

"This is it, let's do it this way."

The other kings didn't object either. After all, everything here was just data, so they wouldn't feel any psychological pressure no matter what they did.

Whether they are the high and mighty kings or ordinary Accelerators, their attitude towards this world is consistent. In their view, although Digimon can speak and have emotions, they are nothing more than artificial intelligence, ultimately just a mass of lifeless data, not worth paying attention to, and they would feel no guilt even if they killed them.

Under the arrangement of the kings, the speedsters quickly withdrew from the forest.

Standing in a clearing in front of the forest, the Red King fired a few shots at the ground with his small pistol. After filling his special attack gauge by destroying the terrain, he summoned his enhanced armor, the Immovable Fortress.

The second-generation Crimson King, Scarlet Rain, is petite and the shortest among the seven kings. However, when her enhanced armor is deployed, she becomes the largest imaginary entity in the entire Accel World.

Like a crimson, blood-soaked fortress, the Red King displayed his most powerful combat strength in his normal state for the first time in the Digital World.

The fortress armor was torn open, and hundreds of cannons fired simultaneously, raining down shells upon the forest.

At the epicenter of the bombardment, the ground looked as if it had been struck by a meteorite, with blinding craters appearing everywhere. At the same time, the scattered flames ignited the forest, the crimson flames licking at the sky and the earth, telling of their ferocity.

The moment the cannonball was fired, Crimson Rain's ultimate skill bar was emptied, but as soon as the cannonball landed, her ultimate skill bar was restored in an instant by destroying the field.

So what followed was a second, relentless barrage.

Laughing wildly, the king, possessing the world's strongest long-range area-of-effect attack, ravaged the forests and the land. Countless weak Digimon perished in the bombardment and flames; some contributed a few speed-up points to the Red King, while many more were too weak to even provide a deceleration point.

When the seventh round of artillery fire landed, the puppet beast, who was holed up in its big house, discovered that its territory had been attacked, and in such a blatant way.

Without a roar, this naive yet cunning Digimon silently raised its hammer, let out a few sharp laughs, kicked open the villa door, and charged towards the direction from which the artillery fire was coming.

After a sprint to the edge of the forest, Puppetmon spotted the conspicuous Red King and nearly a hundred Accelerators. His charge faltered, and Puppetmon's rage surged even higher. He gritted his teeth and slowly uttered two names.
