Chapter 494: I'm So Happy

Guo Yao looked at these lovely Digimon, her eyes glistening with tears, her voice trembling slightly: "I really can't bear to part with you all. I've been so happy spending this time together with you." A trace of longing lingered on her face — the reluctance to let go of this beautiful stretch of time.

Agumon and Patamon hurried over, nuzzling Guo Yao with their little bodies, trying to comfort her: "Sister Guo Yao, don't be sad, we'll miss you." Their voices were full of concern, warming everyone's heart.

Li An stepped forward and gently put his arm around Guo Yao's shoulder, his eyes full of comfort and encouragement: "Yaoyao, we'll remember this beautiful stretch of time in 677." His voice was low and warm, as if carrying a power that put people at ease.

Yagami Taichi looked at Li An and Guo Yao, a sincere smile on his face: "Li An, Guo Yao, I hope everything goes smoothly for you in the new world. If you need anything, we'll definitely come help!" His eyes were full of trust and support.

Li An looked at Yagami Taichi, his eyes brimming with gratitude: "Taichi, thank you! It's been an honor fighting alongside you all this time." His voice was full of sincerity — a cherishing of this friendship.

Koushiro also walked over, stretched out his hand, and shook Li An's: "Li An, if you ever have any questions about Digimon World in the future, feel free to ask me anytime." A hint of confidence and friendliness showed in his eyes, as if telling Li An they would be friends forever.

Li An nodded, his heart full of emotion: "Koushiro, thank you for your help — your knowledge has been very important to us." A trace of respect colored his voice, deep admiration for Koushiro's intelligence and erudition.

Just as everyone was immersed in this warm yet faintly sorrowful atmosphere, suddenly, a strange black rift appeared in the sky. A powerful aura of darkness radiated from the rift, sending chills down one's spine.

"Not good — what is that?" Yagami Taichi cried out, his eyes full of vigilance as he quickly stepped in front of everyone and assumed a defensive stance. Li An's expression instantly became grave, a hint of tension showing in his eyes: "It seems the dark forces haven't completely dispersed — they've come to cause trouble again!" His hands clenched into fists, the power within his body beginning to surge slowly, ready at any moment to face this sudden crisis.

Agumon and Patamon immediately entered battle mode as well, powerful energy radiating from their bodies, their eyes full of resolve: "Damn it, we won't let you destroy this hard-won peace!" Their voices were full of fighting spirit, as if declaring war on the dark forces.

From within the rift, a figure slowly emerged. The figure was shrouded entirely in darkness, its face impossible to make out, but the powerful aura of darkness radiating from its body gave off a feeling of deep dread.

"Hmph, you think you can stop me like this? How naive!" The dark figure let out a string of eerie laughter, as if coming from the depths of hell, making one's hair stand on end.

Li An took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, a hint of resolve showing in his eyes: "No matter who you are, we won't let you succeed!" His voice was firm and powerful, carrying an unyielding spirit.

"Then try it!" The dark figure roared, and a black longsword suddenly appeared in his hand, a strange light glinting on the blade as if imbued with endless dark power. He swung the longsword and charged toward the crowd..
