"Damn it, damn it, damn it all!! How dare you mock me like that? I, the Great King, will kill you all, kill you all!!"

"None of you will escape! None of you will get away! Jungle cavalry, charge! Kill them all!"

Wielding its giant hammer wildly, the Puppet Beast roared angrily, its blood-red eyes glowing so intensely they seemed to be flowing out as liquid.

No Digimon dared to disobey Puppetmon's orders when he was so angry, so they quickly roared and surrounded the tea party members, leaving no one out, not even the support personnel who were originally at the rear of the battlefield, or the Accelerators who had already left the battlefield.

The Digimon dared not let any of them escape, because the escape of any one of them could ultimately unleash Puppetmon's wrath upon them.

The Dark Four were never good leaders who treated their subordinates well.

In the time that followed, even with Shiroe's exceptional wisdom, he was unable to devise a plan to escape the battle when surrounded by numerous enemies of similar level to himself. The group could only continue to fight the Digimon.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Clown King was clearly not a punctual person. Just ten minutes later, a group of dark shadows flew over from the horizon.

Devimon, GirlDevimon, Tagbutomon, Miragemon, Gigadramon, and all sorts of Virus-type Digimon appeared like dark clouds obscuring the sky above the battlefield.

Seeing several hundred more monsters around level 40 arrive, the tea party members felt a tightness in their chests, as if they could hardly breathe.

With a wicked laugh, a multicolored figure leaped off the head of the leading GigaDevice, its speed suddenly decreasing just before it touched the ground, and then it slowly landed on the ground.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Would you like to join me for a performance?"

Looking at the monster dressed in a brightly colored clown costume and wearing a black and white mask, the group at the tea party looked solemn, because in their data view, there was a line of text: "Clown King, Level 67".

They had already been struggling to defeat the level 59 boss, Puppet Beast, and now a level 67 boss had appeared. Judging from what Puppet Beast had just said, two more bosses of this level were going to appear soon. By all accounts, this seemed like a hopeless situation.

[Tsk, the very first event of the tea party has already failed? Absolutely not, I absolutely do not want this to end!]

Chapter Twenty-Five: Only Through Comparison Can the Difference Be Revealed

[Think, think quickly, how can we get out of this situation? The first event of the tea party absolutely cannot fail!]

Biting his lip, Cheng Hui was filled with anxiety. In the past, when he made plans, he was meticulous because he had enough information to analyze. But now, on this new map, he had no data at all, and his calculation ability was undoubtedly suppressed to the lowest point.

While Shiroe was still racking her brains, Kanami pointed at Piedmon and shouted excitedly.

"Wow, everyone look! This BOSS really has a villainous aura, completely different from that street thug-like puppet beast!"

Upon hearing Kanami's words, Shiroe's eye twitched, and he almost crushed the mouse in his hand. Puppetmon was already in a berserk state. If they angered Piedmon, which had just appeared, and also put it into a berserk state, they might really be wiped out here today.

However, before Shiroe could even recover from the shock caused by Kanami, his friends started making a ruckus again.

"Kanami is right, this BOSS really has an air about him. Could that Puppetmon from before be his underling?"

"Wow~, this boss's minions are all undead, demons, or female demons. That's way more impressive than those puppet beasts whose minions are all gorillas, mammoths, and giant eggs! They really look like a great demon king!"

"Yeah, yeah! Fighting Puppetmon just now felt like wandering into a zoo. If I were to fight this boss, it would definitely feel like venturing into hell! Just thinking about it gets my blood pumping!"

“A true warrior should challenge such a strong opponent.”

This long string of words caused Shiroe to crack the mouse, made Piedmon laugh even more, and fueled Puppetmon's anger, while also delaying things by three minutes.

Three minutes later, the Steel Empire arrived.

With a burst of artillery fire, the Iron Empire's army, which had not yet arrived, launched an ultra-long-range attack. Although their accuracy was somewhat off and they didn't hit many people, their imposing presence reached its peak.

"Acheng, look! MetalGreymon, Megadramon, MetalGreymon, MegaGreymon, MegaSeadramon—they're all robots and mechanical dragons! It's so amazing, it's like a mechanical carnival!"

"Wow!! That mechanical dragon is so cool! I want to get one of those mechanical dragons as my summon!"

"Holy crap, what's that? A locomotive beast? They even have a train! That's amazing!"

"I had given up on the Dark Masters because of that Puppetmon, but it turns out he's the only one with low class. The other four are all incredibly skilled!"

"I've made up my mind. Even if I can leave, I won't. I want to stay and see what that MetalSeadramon is like, and whether it has the same kind of spirit!"

Another round of shouting ensued, resulting in Shiroe switching to a spare mouse, Piedmon returning to his calm demeanor, and Puppetmon roaring angrily.

While changing the mouse, Cheng Hui calmed down a bit and realized that her friends' shouting wasn't entirely a bad thing.

The most obvious example is that the Nightmare Legion and the Steel Empire, who should have joined the battle immediately, did not go all out in order to spare Puppetmon's feelings and avoid stealing his thunder on his turf and embarrassing him. They just stood at a distance and made some token attacks.

Although these words made Puppetmon even angrier, he was already angry, so he didn't care too much.

Thus, under certain strange circumstances, although the Digimon's fighting power more than tripled, the battle situation remained the same as before Piedmon and his group arrived: a stalemate and a war of attrition.

Seven minutes later, MetalSeadramon arrived.

MetalSeadramon, known as the "fastest aquatic Digimon," made its entrance with an aura no less imposing than the previous two, even though it didn't bring any subordinates with it.

MetalSeadramon's mode of movement was quite ordinary; it simply swam along the largest river in the forest. However, its terrifying speed made its otherwise ordinary movement awe-inspiring.

As the Steel Seadragon swam, all the water in the river was thrown into the air, leaving the riverbed, which was completely dry, pitifully exposed to the air.

From a distance, the waves stirred up by the Steel Seadramon looked like the dorsal fin of a huge, terrifying shark, rushing through the jungle and toward the battlefield.

As it approached the battlefield, MetalSeadramon suddenly leaped out of the water and landed steadily in the air. Its gold and silver steel body looked exceptionally noble against the backdrop of water splashes and sunlight.

Now, without the praise from the people at the tea party, Puppetmon himself, seeing the way MetalSeadramon made its entrance, understood how much difference there was in terms of presence between the two.

[Puppetmon is level 59, Piedmon is level 67, Mugendramon is level 64, and MetalSeadramon is level 60.]

Looking at the levels of the four bosses, Shiro gritted her teeth and opened the private chat channel. Before, when fighting bosses, she could just shout any commands in the public channel; the reasoning was the same—the bosses wouldn't understand anyway.

But this time was different. In order to prevent the BOSSes from overhearing her battle plan, Shiroe specifically sent private messages to each of them, conveying each person's mission to her.

"Haha, Mr. Cheng, you are indeed the best guide and the best advisor. It's wonderful to have you invited to the tea party."

After hearing Shiroe's battle plan, Kanami excitedly patted his shoulder hard, then raised her fist and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, it's time to go in!!"

"Oh!!!"

With a roar, the members of the tea party charged at the puppet beast according to Shiroe's plan.

Ignoring the performers is not a good habit.

Before everyone could reach Puppetmon, Piedmon, with a twisted smile, stood on the tree above them and gently tossed down a white handkerchief.

The tiny handkerchief rapidly expanded in mid-air and fell at an astonishing speed. When the handkerchief landed, a tea party member, two Accelerators, and a Digimon were all trapped beneath it.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the handkerchief flew back into his hand, and the people covered by the handkerchief turned into small toys like keychains, flying into his hand.

Even with this situation, the tea party members showed no intention of slowing down and continued rushing towards the puppet beast. Only one divine mage casually cast a spell to remove the negative effects on the tea party member who had turned into a keychain.

The tea party members, now back to normal, showed no intention of seeking revenge against Piedmon, and instead charged towards Puppetmon with the main force.

With a frown, Clown King drew two throwing knives from behind his back, ready to make the guy who dared to ignore him pay the price.

But just as he was about to make his move, the tea party members suddenly changed their direction of attack.

P.S., here's the second update. Writing two books at once is really inhuman; nearly 9,000 words a day is exhausting! If you're interested in my new book, go check it out. It's called "The Witch No Longer Laments," and you can tell from the title that it's about Madoka Magica, right? Of course, it will definitely be a crossover anime/manga series later on, since I'm more comfortable writing infinite flow novels.

Chapter Twenty-Six: An Ineffable Emotion

Although MetalSeadramon is one level higher than Puppetmon, it lacks the Berserk state boost, making it weaker than Puppetmon in terms of overall strength.

As its name suggests, MetalSeadramon can fly, but its most proficient fighting domain should be the ocean, or at least water. However, this is the center of the land, so its power will definitely be greatly reduced.

[This is Puppetmon's territory after all. MetalSeadramon and the others are only here to help; they certainly won't go all out.]

All things considered, the easiest of the four bosses present to defeat is undoubtedly MetalSeadramon.

The boss we're facing this time is unlike any we've fought before; it possesses considerable intelligence. To avoid alerting it, we cannot attack MetalSeadramon directly.

Feign an attack on Puppetmon, then quickly switch targets and unleash a full-force attack on MetalSeadramon. Make sure to kill it before the other bosses can react; otherwise, if we are surrounded by four bosses, we will surely die.

[Killing one of the Dark Four Kings might bring a new turning point; at worst, we'll have one less boss to face.]

Recalling Shiroe's words, the tea party members changed their direction of attack the moment they approached Puppetmon, and made a final sprint toward MetalSeadramon, which was hovering not far above Puppetmon.

Those with long-range attack capabilities can launch their attacks the instant they change direction.

"Summon, guardians of the dungeon!"

"Layered grammar, the light of laziness!"

"Try this, it's like a summer insect laughing at ice!"

Because of the strength displayed by the Tea Party members, the Accelerators had been keeping a close eye on them. Seeing their current actions, some of the more astute Accelerators realized their intentions and quickly called to their companions to follow the path taken by the Tea Party members.

Some of the red-themed imaginary entities took the opportunity to retaliate against MetalSeadramon while fleeing. Although their attack power was insufficient to cause significant damage to an Ultimate-level monster, the visual and auditory effects of their projectiles were quite impressive, and they also generated a large amount of smoke.

These smoke screens not only obscured MetalSeadramon's vision, but also prevented the other Elite Four from immediately assessing MetalSeadramon's situation.

When MetalSeadramon finally regained his vision by piercing through the smoke with a [Ultimate Wave Cannon], all the members of the tea party had already rushed to his side.

With smiles that were either wild or joyful, a group of melee fighters unleashed their most powerful moves.

"Returning at midnight!"

"One-Sword Corpse!"

"Death Wish!"

"Lament for the five continents!"

After a round of attacks, before everyone could even breathe a sigh of relief and check the results of the battle, Shiroe shouted loudly.

"His weakness is his nose, let's launch another attack! Frontline members, be careful to dodge enemy attacks!"

"Tsk, it's still alive? Its shell is really hard. Well then, let's try this: the hanging loop!"

"Since you're not dead, let's try again! Layered grammar, Roaring Tone Deaf!"

"Twins in one seal!"

"Thirty-Six Eyes Powder!"

"Summon, the soul of the mermaid!"

"Die! You god-like game!!"

The second round of attacks, without exception, were all aimed directly at MetalSeadramon's nose, which could fire energy cannons. The members of the tea party had no doubt about whether Shiroe's "weakness" was true and gave him their utmost trust.

As it turned out, Shiroe lived up to his reputation as the strongest strategist. He actually found the biggest weakness of MetalSeadramon in the first round of attacks. After the second round of saturation attacks, the king of the sea fell in the forest.

The fact that MetalSeadramon was killed so easily surprised everyone, including Piedmon and the Accelerators. Only the members of the Tea Party took advantage of their shock and quickly broke out of the encirclement.

They had barely broken out of the encirclement a few steps, and before the tea party group even had time to assess how much experience they had gained, the world began to tremble.

The Digital World was originally just like the Real World, with its own sky and sea, cities and forests. But when the Dark Masters built Mount Infinity, the world was reshaped.
