The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

"…Who knows? Maybe I know them pretty well."

The smile on Akihiro Kurata's face became more and more obvious.

The Gizmon Legion shuttled through the dense forest along the road. Not long after, the road ahead was shrouded in clouds and fog again, making it feel mysterious.

"Leave your army here. You can only bring two complete bodies in at most. Otherwise, that cautious old creature may not necessarily see you."

Wendymon slowly stood up and cast his gaze towards the entangled vines of the trees, into the shadows where not even a ray of sunlight could penetrate.

"It's about time I hide myself. If I get too close, he'll find me."

The figure of Wendymon suddenly grew larger at the last moment before disappearing, revealing the true appearance of a dark beast. It disappeared on the spot without looking back, while Akihiro Kurata watched calmly as his partner turned into a shadow, and then picked up the indicator beside him.

"Then pick two and follow me in."

Akihiro Kurata waved his hand nonchalantly, revealing an ambiguous and cold smile.

Upon receiving the order, Gizmon XT quickly left the team and came behind him. Akihiro Kurata calmly moved towards the cloud, while instructing Gizmon XT to follow him.

The remaining Gizmon legions did not stay where they were. They scattered in all directions and sneaked into the shadows of the dense forest.

After Akihiro Kurata stepped into the fog, the water vapor contained in it quickly wet his lenses, making it difficult for him to see the road ahead. However, he didn't know the way anyway, so Akihiro Kurata randomly chose a direction to move forward.

After just a few steps, the thick clouds completely dissipated, and the ancient and strange trees that looked like long snakes came into his sight. Akihiro Kurata ordered Gizmon XT to stay where it was and carefully observe the situation around it.

Soon, he noticed the huge monster not far away.

A towering ancient tree stands tall on the turtle's back. Under its lush branches and leaves are two heads, a turtle and a snake. They seem to be resting with their eyes closed. The digital cores surrounding the tree are protecting the central ancient tree like guards.

With a smile on his face, Akihiro Kurata walked up to the giant beast with a hint of respect.

"Ugh……"

Letting out an aged sigh, the Guardian of the Jungle Riders, Xuanwumon, opened both of his eyes at the same time.

"It has been a long time since outsiders appeared in this forest. Human, the Jungle Rangers welcome your visit."

His voice was hoarse, and he looked at Akihiro Kurata with a somewhat friendly look. Just as he said, humans have not appeared for a long time.

"Greetings to you, Master Xuanwumon."

Akihiro Kurata gave a rather strange smile and bowed slightly to express his respect.

"The Royal Knights informed me not long ago that you would be coming soon. I think there really needs to be some communication between the two worlds."

"That's exactly what I thought, sir. Only more communication can promote peace between the two worlds." Akihiro Kurata's tone became lighter.

At the same time, he waved his hand, signaling the two Gizmon XT to stay away from them. This move made Xuanwumon let down his guard a little.

"Is this the latest creation of the Iron Empire? I have never seen such a strange Digimon."

"You are too kind, sir. These things are actually my masterpieces."

"Oh?"

The Xuanwu beast still remained motionless, and the curiosity in its two pairs of red eyes became more obvious.

"You mean, you created these Digimon?"

Kurata Akihiro took another step towards the Xuanwumon and shrugged. "It's not that difficult, sir. I just need some key ingredients to do it."

"That's really interesting, the key material..."

Akihiro Kurata's words made Xuanwumon fall into deep thought. He couldn't understand what kind of material could create digital life. While he was thinking, a dark cloud rushed over from all directions above the Jungle Cavalry, with faint thunder in it.

This is the signal that the action is about to begin.

Akihiro Kurata's body couldn't stop shaking. He bent his waist as much as possible to hide the excitement on his face.

Finally, the Black Tortoise, who had not been able to come up with an answer, looked at him again and asked curiously, "What do you mean by key materials..."

Just as Xuanwu Beast asked this question, a deafening thunder suddenly came from the sky, interrupting his speech. Xuanwu Beast then noticed the dark clouds covering the sky. He raised his head and observed the thundercloud carefully.

"Whoo-"

A sound of electric current suddenly entered the ears of the Xuanwu Beast. His brows were furrowed, and he opened his two mouths wide to spit out clear spring water to block in front of himself.

Two red energy lasers were successfully blocked by the Qingquan shield, making a sharp sound.

He looked carefully and saw that Akihiro Kurata, who had been bending over just now, had stood up at some point and retreated to a place ten meters away from him.

Two Gizmon XTs stood in front of him, each holding a silver-white energy gun in their hands.

"Human, what are you doing? Are you trying to start a war between the two worlds?"

The two energy attacks just now were obviously from these two strange Digimon. Xuanwumon suppressed the anger in his heart. At this time, he could clearly feel the hostility coming from the other party.

Facing the pressure from the sacred beast, Akihiro Kurata simply stretched out a finger and shook it, revealing a rather weird smile.

"You are wrong. It is not me who started the war between the two worlds. After today, it will be you, the sacred beast of death, who will start the war."

Black and white data suddenly emerged, and the secretly carried [Devourer] entangled the two Gizmon XTs at the same time, and the data of the complete form continued to increase as it devoured it.

The Xuanwu Beast no longer hesitated and immediately opened its mouth, releasing a high-pressure water blade like a cutting machine, trying to interrupt the strange phenomenon in front of it.

Chapter 8: Cherubimon

The high-pressure water flow contained in the water blade easily cut through the metal guard plates of Gizmon XT, and they were cut in half in just a moment.

These Gizmon XTs, whose bodies are made entirely of metal, are like straws under a sickle and have no ability to resist the water blade attacks of the holy beasts.

However, when Xuanwumon looked closely at the two Gizmon XTs, he found that the Gizmon XT that had been cut into two parts did not die on the spot, and his attack did not seem to cause fatal damage.

Gizmon XT rolled its body towards the other at the same time, and with the help of [Devourer], they were pieced together again and became a whole. At the same time, the power representing the Ultimate Form emerged from its body.

"Xuanwumon, now I can tell you what the material you were curious about is." Kurata Akihiro bent over, opened his hands, and had a twisted smile on his sick face. "The main material for creating these things is the data of Digimon after their death."

"By the way, I have been slaughtering Digimon here since I entered this Adaptation Field, but you don't seem to know it yet..."

"Roar--"

These words made Xuanwumon angry and he roared. The water vapor in the air formed into sharp swords that fell from the sky. Even Gizmon XT, which had become the ultimate form, did not dare to take these attacks head-on.

It protected Akihiro Kurata as he fled everywhere, and at the same time, it showed its tenacious vitality as an artificial Digimon. Even if it was accidentally stabbed by a sharp sword of water, it would not immediately lose its ability to move. With the help of [Devourer], the wound would quickly heal as before.

"It seems that one Ultimate Form is still a bit of a stretch..."

Protected in the arms of Gizmon XT, Akihiro Kurata maintained a twisted smile on his sick face.

"Then mobilize everyone and destroy this area for me."

As a legion of Gizmons secretly supported and produced by the Ministry of Confidentiality, there are certainly not only these few in front of him. He only brought a small part of them into the forest. The entire jungle cavalry fell into great panic, and a fire had already started on the outskirts of the ancient and mysterious forest.

Countless Gizmons began to move, sweeping across the sky.

At the same time, the Gizmons he had brought into the forest also emerged from the shadows, surrounding the Black Tortoise, and the infrared rays in their eyes continued to test the holy beast.

The Black Tortoise shook the ground, and the towering ancient tree on its back extended its branches into the ground, which continued to extend and tumble underground, and finally broke out of the ground, tightly wrapping around the Gizmon and strangling them completely.

Seeing the broken data dissipate in the air, Xuanwumon breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his attack was not ineffective. Looking around at the surviving Gizmon with a solemn expression, those Gizmon ATs were constantly approaching the [Devourer] and merging into Gizmon XT.

Finally, he set his sights on the [Devourer] behind the Gizmon XTs. This unknown creature he had never seen before did not join the battle, but continued to entangle the Gizmon XTs and expand their information.

Not giving Xuanwumon any time to breathe, the surrounding Gizmon XT pressed forward at the same time, continuously shrinking the Holy Beast's movement space.

Water blades and lasers were flying, and speed and biting were not Xuanwumon's strong points. Facing the tidal attack of Gizmon XT, he had no time to dodge. He could only continue to attack while distracting himself to construct the Clear Spring Shield to barely block it. Even so, his wounds continued to increase.

However, the Xuanwu Beast did not gain nothing.

The power of the holy beast is not something that these ordinary ultimate Gizmon XTs can withstand. Under the attack of Xuanwumon despite his injuries, the number of Gizmon's army is constantly decreasing.

Under the attack of high-pressure water blades and tree roots, only the last four of the dozens of Gizmon XT controlled by Akihiro Kurata were left. They finally stopped attacking and began to retreat, giving Xuanwumon a chance to catch its breath.

"Human, these things alone can't kill me, so what's the point of doing this?"

Xuanwumon was breathing heavily, with many wounds on his body. Even though he was revered as the guardian god, he would feel exhausted when facing the siege of dozens of Ultimate Digimon at the same time. He was not a real god.

When Akihiro Kurata heard this question, there was no panic on his face. Instead, he had a hint of irrepressible excitement. He glanced at the clouds in the sky calmly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"...If they alone are not enough, what if we add the Beast Angel?"

"what?!"

At the same time as he heard these words, a thunder suddenly sounded in the dark clouds. The Black Tortoise was about to release the mist to cover itself in an instant, but the crimson lightning spear was faster, like a punishment from God, piercing through the clouds and hitting the Black Tortoise directly.

Hit on the head by the lightning spear, the Black Tortoise cried out in pain and was forced to stop releasing the mist illusion. He shook his head, trying to keep himself awake.

“Cherubimon…!”

Even though he was the most kind-hearted of the four sacred beasts, he was now furious. The Black Tortoise gritted his teeth and spat out the name, then shifted his gaze to the air.

The fallen messenger of God passed through the clouds, his body wrapped in lightning, and the dark beast finally revealed his true form.

"Can't you even delay time? Kurata Akihiro."

Cherubimon ignored Xuanwumon's glare and uttered the slightly sarcastic words calmly.

"You'd better stop talking nonsense... If the other Digimon come back later, it will be difficult for us to escape."

Akihiro Kurata was still laughing strangely. The confrontation between the gods made his body tremble gradually. He was shaking all over and didn't care about Cherubimon's weirdness at all.

"They won't have this opportunity. This space has been completely blocked by me."

A smile appeared on the ferocious face of the Beast Angel, and he shifted his gaze from Akihiro Kurata to Xuanwumon.

"Anything you want to say, Xuanwumon?"

"Have you betrayed the gods?"

A deep and hoarse voice came from Xuanwumon's mouth. He raised his two heads, and his two pairs of red eyes stared at Cherubimon.

"Or is this all a conspiracy designed by the gods against the Jungle Troopers?"

"Compared to the gods..."

Cherubimon, one of the three great angels, muttered the name while lowering his eyes: "Perhaps the Royal Knights are more suspicious?"

BeastAngel's question immediately made Xuanwumon stunned. He had indeed never thought of this possibility.

Then, this possibility continued to grow in his mind, making it difficult for him to calm down.

"But it's dog-eat-dog anyway, so it doesn't matter who you suspect."

Cherubimon sneered, and a cluster of scarlet lightning formed in his hand. He reached out and grabbed the red thunder. His right arm holding the gun slightly moved back, and then the red thunder spear flew out of his hand and swept towards Xuanwumon with astonishing power.

The water that changed freely formed a rotating water wall to block Cherubimon's attack. Xuanwumon lowered its body and released the mist illusion again.

Chapter 9: The Gun of Gizz

"What...are these things?"

With one shot, he shattered the Gizmon XT in front of him, and FlowerLordmon blocked many Gizmons at the outermost edge of the forest.

There are not many Ultimate Digimon in the Jungle Troopers, and the power of these Digimon alone is not enough to stop the Gizmon Army.

These strange Digimon seem to have no reason and keep pouring into the jungle to destroy everything they can see.

FlowerLordmon was a little anxious. These strange Digimon were brought to Xuanwumon by that human, and he was now very worried about Xuanwumon's situation.

"Sprout Thrust!"

The flower spear in its hand burst into light, and then pierced through a group of Gizmon. Taking this opportunity, FlowerLordmon wanted to withdraw, but noticed that the Gizmon army in the air stopped attacking at this time.

……what happened?

Before Flower Lordmon could react, the tidal-like Gizmon army began to surge towards one place, and at the end of his vision, above the core area of ​​the Jungle Cavalry, a big hole appeared in the sky at some point, and a huge shadow was slowly emerging from the broken sky.

"What are they doing?"

His intuition told him that something bad was about to happen.

"Rafflesia, I leave this to you."

After leaving these words, the Flower Lord Beast no longer hesitated and immediately turned around and flew towards the center of the forest.

……

Blood-red lightning and high-pressure water blades intertwined. In the core area of ​​the dense forest, the holy beasts and the angels were still fighting.
