A different kind of digital world adventure

Although locating the MetalSeadramon in the vast ocean is not an easy task, it is at least much easier than the previously imagined task of having to travel through time.

"However, it would be better to find out the constancy to confirm it."

As Taiichi said this, he looked at the Wind God Beast.

"Then let's not delay any longer, let's go back to Energy City now."

Taichi quickly obtained the technology related to BlackGatomon's ultimate evolution from Anemomon. This evolution technology, developed by combining the most advanced technologies of the Steel Empire, can ensure that BlackGatomon possesses extremely powerful firepower while maintaining its own characteristics. In a sense, this can be considered an attempt by the Steel Empire to combine mechanical technology with the abilities of Dark-type Digimon.

Since I haven't seen the actual Digimon, I don't know how strong it is. However, most of the Dark-type Digimon I've encountered so far are quite powerful, so by extension, this technology shouldn't be weak either.

In addition, during these three years, the Steel Empire also developed another secret weapon besides the Chaos Dragon Beast.

Gundramon.

[Gundramon, Ultimate Level]

"Imitating the firepower of MagnaGidmon and supplementing it with the Steel Empire's top-notch ammunition technology, this Ultimate Digimon with high mobility and saturation firepower was finally created. Its top speed on land can reach Mach 3, its maximum range can reach 200km, and its maximum rate of fire can reach 10000 rounds per second. It is a true strategic weapon."

The Wind God Beast stared at the pure white steel behemoth before it, its entire body covered in gun barrels and radiating a chilling aura.

"Moreover, unlike Chaosdramon, Gundramon has its own consciousness and can fight autonomously."

"Possessing consciousness?"

Tai, who was watching Gundramon with great interest, turned to look at Windgodmon.

"Really? And why is it still right now?"

"Well, Gundramon is a Digimon that only likes to fight," Windgomon explained. "Without a battle that can get Gundramon's blood pumping, Gundramon will remain in its current standby state."

"A blood-pumping battle? Then why don't you get up and fight us?" Taiyi was even more puzzled. "Aren't we hot enough for him?"

"...Are you sure it's because it's excited about fighting you, and not because you're excited about fighting?"

"Gun Dragon Beast doesn't like playing in a one-sided match."

"She's quite temperamental."

Buzz!

Just as Taiichi was communicating with the Wind God Beast, the red light in the eyes of the Spear Dragon Beast in front of them suddenly lit up. Without even glancing at Taiichi and the others, it opened the hatch and flew off in a certain direction without looking back.

"What is this...?"

"The Gundragon is equipped with the most advanced fire control radar; it may have found its match."

"is it?"

Taiichi's interest increased greatly.

"Then I'll go take a look too."

As he spoke, Taichi followed behind Gundramon, wanting to see what kind of opponent Gundramon was looking for.

As a result, they followed the Gundramon for 500 kilometers before finally seeing the opponent that the Gundramon had been looking for.

A steel seadragon that is wreaking havoc everywhere.

"How could it be MetalSeadramon?"

Chapter 170 Arkema

The Digimon standing before Taiichi was none other than a menacing MetalSeadramon.

How could Erming Erlingba be MetalSeadramon?

Taiyi and the Wind Divine Beast looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Steel Empire keeps a record of all the cyborg Digimon on file, and even those that are not on file, Taichi, as the manager of the Steel Empire's territory, can sense every Digimon that has evolved into a cyborg. This has never been an exception before.

Up to now, Taiichi has not sensed the presence of MetalSeadramon at all.

Even right under his nose, Taiichi still couldn't sense the presence of MetalSeadramon, as if it wasn't a cyborg Digimon at all.

"It's not a modified Digimon..."

As soon as Taiichi had this idea in his mind, he carefully examined MetalSeadramon.

His idea wasn't impossible. There are indeed Digimon that can disguise themselves as other Digimon. Although it's rare to see one disguised as an Ultimate-level Digimon, as long as that's possible, then the Digimon in front of him has something to say about it.

After examining it carefully for a while, Taiyi did notice something amiss.

But this very asymmetry only made Taiichi more confused.

"Why does this guy seem like he's not only not MetalSeadramon, but he's not even a Digimon?"

Regardless of Taiichi's thoughts, Gundramon didn't care about anything else. After locking onto MetalSeadramon, it unleashed a full-force attack without hesitation.

"A violent fanatic!"

At this moment, every part of Gundramon's body was firing cannons, instantly engulfing MetalSeadramon. MetalSeadramon immediately became alert upon noticing the cannon fire, desperately twisting its slender body to dodge the bullets as much as possible. Due to its size, it did manage to avoid quite a few bullets. Then, a light shone from the tip of MetalSeadramon's nose, and a blazing plasma beam was released from it the next second.

Faced with the beam of light, Gundramon chose not to dodge, but instead braced itself against the attack with its sturdy chest. Its pectoral muscles proved effective; MetalSeadramon's powerful attack only slightly charred Gundramon's chest. This gave Gundramon an opening; it pressed its two large spears against MetalSeadramon's head and unleashed a powerful revolver attack.

"Exploding Cross!"

boom--!

This attack was incredibly damaging to MetalSeadramon. Even though MetalSeadramon was covered in Digizoid, it couldn't withstand the close-range bombardment. Taichi then saw MetalSeadramon raise its head and then lower it again. He saw a large hole in MetalSeadramon's head, revealing the dark contents inside.

Taiyi was stunned when he saw this thing. He had just seen it before. It was none other than the Dark Tower that he was planning to demolish!

How can this thing turn into a Digimon?

The Dark Tower actually possesses such power?

But how exactly did it change?

Why did the Dark Tower, which was originally quiet, become like this?

Taiichi no longer cares about MetalSeadramon's condition. With just two attacks from Gundramon, MetalSeadramon definitely couldn't possibly defeat Gundramon. So Taiichi is more concerned about why the Dark Tower has changed. It can't just be because Tyrannosaurus Rex died and the Dark Tower felt that its father was gone so it wanted to take revenge.

If that's the case, it would be fine. At least it would prove that the Dark Tower still has consciousness. If it has consciousness, then we can try to communicate with it. But the fear is that all of this is just because the Dark Tower has these functions, and it has been used by some guys to become Digimon. As for their purpose, Taichi doesn't know, but judging from the fact that MetalSeadramon is causing crazy destruction, the other party is definitely not a good guy.

Thinking about this, Taiichi felt it necessary to confirm the true situation.

So right next to Gundramon, Taichi suddenly unleashed his full power, directing it all at MetalSeadramon.

Then he saw that MetalSeadramon remained unmoved in the face of his aura, and Taichi was now certain that the thing in front of him was not a Digimon at all, but simply a human-machine interface.

Since it's a human-machine interface, it means that the changes in the Dark Tower must be due to someone else controlling it. So now, the task is to find that person.

Thinking this, Taiyi looked around, pondered for a few seconds, and then suddenly expanded his aura outwards infinitely.

In an instant, Taiichi sensed a faint presence appearing not far from MetalSeadramon.

Sensing this aura, Taiyi narrowed his eyes and abruptly turned his head to look.

"You actually dare to stay here!"

Unexpectedly, the trick actually yielded something. Without Taiichi needing to do much, Agumon, who shared the same thought, immediately rushed over and evolved mid-journey.

"Agumon, leape evolution—WarGreymon!"

Fighting the tornado!

WarGreymon instantly transformed into lightning and charged forward, forcing the hidden shadow out. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a white-haired woman wearing a red coat and sunglasses. However, the woman's figure changed mid-air, and when she landed, she had transformed into a terrifying half-human, half-spider creature.

Arkemon, Ultimate Level

Taiichi looked at the creature and temporarily stopped WarGreymon from attacking.

"Call out the person behind you to face their death."

With Arkema's strength, there's no way he could be the mastermind behind it all. Putting aside everything else, he wouldn't even pass the Iron Empire's scrutiny.

"As expected of Yagami Taichi, he's truly decisive."

Argentmon glanced warily at WarGreymon. If it weren't for the protective charm given to him by the adults, he would have definitely died from that attack, and without even realizing it.

Arguillimon immediately suppressed its lingering fear, then looked at Tai and uttered a harsh threat.

"This is just a greeting; darkness will eventually rule this land."

"Be prepared, Taichi Yagami."

Arkemamon wanted to say more, but when it saw WarGreymon silently raise its DragonBeast Buster, Arkemamon was so frightened that it immediately shed its long hair. Then, each strand of hair disappeared into the surrounding Dark Towers. In the blink of an eye, all the Dark Towers turned into Digimon and surrounded Tai and the others.

"Fuck me!"

The group of Digimon immediately swarmed and pounced on WarGreymon.

WarGreymon remained silent, simply raising its arm to form a large ball of light, which it then tossed downwards.

"Gaia energy cannon!"

Boom—After the mushroom cloud, all the enemies were reduced to ashes.

"Escaped."

Taiichi looked down into the deep pit. He wondered how Argumentium had managed to escape right under his skin.

"A new darkness."

Taiichi narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the Wind God Beast.

"Have Daisuke and the others arrived?"

"I just arrived here."

"it is good."

Tai nodded, then turned around.

"Then let them come with me."

Chapter 171 I'm Fighting the Ultimate Level?

Taichi's idea was simple: no matter how intense the special training was, it couldn't compare to real combat. As long as they could fight their way through the Digimon that the Dark Tower had transformed into, Daisuke and the others would definitely be able to reach the Ultimate level, if not the Ultimate level.

He couldn't stay here forever. He could deal with this current darkness, but what about after Taiyi left? If darkness came again, besides the Steel Empire, the Chosen Children would also have to play their part.

"Senior Taiyi!"

Upon seeing Taiichi brought there by the Wind God Beast, Daisuke, who was strolling around Energy City, brightened up. He waved and called out to Taiichi.

"We've come for special training!"

"Hmm." Taiyi nodded slightly, glanced around, and then his eye twitched. "Where are the others?"

"Kyo took Kari shopping, Takeru and Iori went to visit the park, and the other seniors also went to visit places that interested them."

Daisuke answered truthfully.

"I heard there's a really delicious ramen shop here, so I wanted to go try it with V-mon."

"After all, I've always wanted to make the best ramen in the world. Since there's such a famous ramen shop here, I have to give it a try."

"Since we haven't seen you yet, everyone wants to visit other places first."

"After all, not many people have been to Energy City. Even Senior Taiyi only came once two years ago. Back then, Energy City was not like it is now at all."

"Is that so..." Taiyi nodded upon hearing this. That did make sense, after all, the Steel Empire had developed extremely rapidly in the past three years. To be honest, if Taiyi didn't have other things to do, he would have liked to stay here for a few months to see exactly what the Steel Empire had become.

"But we still have things to do now. Let's come back for a visit after we've wiped out all that darkness."

"Daisuke, please gather everyone here."

"no problem."

Daisuke immediately responded and sent a communication to everyone through his Digimon. Not long after, everyone gathered here.

"Taiyi, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to see us?"

Meimei asked with some curiosity,

"Is it about the special training? Is there any need to rush something like this?"

"Or is it something else?"

Taiichi took over the conversation, looking at Taiichi and asking,

"Could it be that they discovered homeostasis and found a way back?"

Sora, on the other side, took over the conversation.

"Or are you now making progress on getting to the Dark Area?"
