Chapter 269

"Chuchumon, why are you in such a panic?"

Chuchumon, a Child-level Virus-type small Beast Digimon, has a petite build about the same as an ordinary mouse; it belongs to the category of Digimon with almost no combat power, but its mind is very flexible — or rather, cunning — and it often appears together with Nanimon.

Nanimon, an Adult-level Virus-type Mutant Digimon, is a Digimon born from the sudden mutation of gathered data residue from the Recycle Bin on a computer desktop; it likes to hide in dark places, and because it is an aggregate of data residue, it is disliked by other Digimon.

"To the west of the dense forest, a giant Desert Cruise Ship has arrived, and the Giant Birdmon piloting it said they were conscripting sailors for Digimon King Son Goku, and attacked the Nanimon and Chuchumon village."

Facing Cactmon's question — evolved from Palmon — Chuchumon hurriedly told everything it knew.

"Who is Digimon King Son Goku?"

Gabumon did not know who the other party was, only because its time since birth was not very long, and this place was also quite far from the central region of Server Continent.

"That is a Perfect-level Digimon King who likes to sing; every year the other party holds a concert near the Ancient Arena."

"Every time a concert is held, the Digimon under its command go everywhere forcing other Digimon to donate supplies."

"Of course, there are benefits too; if you can follow along to watch the concert, you can enjoy those forcibly donated supplies for free."

Cactmon knew the other party; it had even participated in Son Goku's annual concert before, holding the glow sticks distributed by Gotsumon and cheering for the other party.

"It sounds like it's not a bad Digimon."

Gabumon genuinely thought so.

In the Digital World, powerful Digimon occupying more resources is a perfectly normal thing, and being able to take the plundered resources and redistribute them to weak Digimon already surpasses many ferocious Digimon.

"I don't know if it's bad or not, but I've heard that some Digimon villages, when forced to donate supplies, were destroyed by the other party because they refused to donate."

Gabumon: "..."

"Then let's hurry to the Nanimon and Chuchumon village; Chuchumon, lead the way."

Gabumon notified Chuchumon and took the lead, running after the once-again bouncing Nanimon.

"Lord Gabumon, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Cactmon — evolved from Palmon — immediately moved its large plant feet to chase after them, but its advancing speed in the dense forest environment was actually slower than Gabumon and even Nanimon.

And this is the problem that large Digimon often encounter: in some special environments, their movement speed becomes slower and less flexible than small Digimon.

"Do we not need to notify Digimon King Gluttony?"

Fortunately, on the way to the Nanimon and Chuchumon village there was a stretch of open road, which allowed it to catch up, and the Cactmon that caught up directly asked.

"The ones attacking the Nanimon and Chuchumon village are Giant Birdmon; that is only an Adult-level Digimon. For a guy of that degree, there's no need to disturb Abu; I can handle it myself."

A Digimon's strength is determined by form and species, but besides that, there is another very important measuring factor: the amount of data the Digimon itself possesses.

After encountering Broly, Gabumon ate many Adult-level Digimon alongside Broly; although it has not yet evolved to Adult level, the data volume accumulated in its body already exceeds the data volume a normal Child-level Digimon possesses.

This can be seen from the thick pitch-black color revealed in the gaps of the Holy Ring on its neck.

That is the Virus-species data Gabumon ate, yet it is firmly sealed by the power of the Holy Ring.

And since solitary yin does not grow, solitary yang does not generate, these sealed dark powers are also promoting the development of the holy power on its body.

Now, ordinary Adult-level Digimon truly may not be able to beat the Child-level Gabumon.

"But that is a subordinate of another Perfect-level Digimon King, and the ones attacked are only the Nanimon and Chuchumon village."

"Honestly, neither Nanimon nor Chuchumon are likable Digimon, and they have no contribution to Digimon King Gluttony; their village being attacked doesn't seem like a big deal either."

Cactmon's words made Gabumon's footsteps gradually stop.

Think about it carefully: in this dense forest, many Digimon have contributed to Broly.

And like Nanimon and Chuchumon, they only enjoy the dividends after the resource production points once occupied by powerful ferocious Digimon in the dense forest were opened up, but they provide no benefit to Broly or the other Digimon in the dense forest.

Calling them blood-sucking worms might be excessive, but calling them dispensable waste — whether Nanimon or Chuchumon — they are truly deserving of that existence.

"Lord Gabumon..."

Chuchumon tugged on the poop spike on Nanimon's head, making the brainless Nanimon stop; it had also heard what Cactmon said just now.

"Nanimon and Chuchumon indeed have no contribution to Digimon King Gluttony, but that's not because they don't want to contribute; it's because their own power is limited."

"The things they can do, other Digimon can do more easily and better."

"And the things other Digimon can do, Nanimon and Chuchumon, because of their own insufficient capabilities, cannot do..."

The more Chuchumon explained, the more despairing it became; the Nanimon and Chuchumon village truly is a dispensable existence in this dense forest.

"But, even if Nanimon and Chuchumon are useless Digimon, they are still my most important friends; please, Lord Gabumon, have mercy and save them."

Chuchumon jumped down from Nanimon's body; as a very cunning Digimon, it was now kneeling to seek help for its friends.

"Let's go, Cactmon."

"Lord Gabumon?"

"If being weak and useless means there's no need to exist, then those Baby-level Digimon even weaker and more useless than Chuchumon — do they not need to exist either?"

Cactmon really wanted to say this was a different matter, but didn't know how to refute.

"The Nanimon and Chuchumon village is also a part of the dense forest; an attack on their village will likewise be regarded as a provocation against Abu and me."

"Lord Gabumon..."

Chuchumon looked at Gabumon with tear-filled eyes.

"Stop crying, hurry up and lead the way to your village."

Gabumon said.

"Yes."

Chuchumon replied, climbed back onto Nanimon's head, and continued leading the way.

At the Nanimon and Chuchumon village, several Nanimon had already turned to stone and fallen to one side.

A giant Giant Birdmon waved its wings, urging a group of Chuchumon onto the ship.

"You slowpokes, get on board right now! If you keep dawdling, the fate of these Nanimon will be your fate!"

Giant Birdmon's words drew glares from several Chuchumon.

"Why are you looking at me like that, you data scraps? Don't you accept me?"

The Giant Chicken Beast glared back.

"We were just living in our own village, and you suddenly appeared, demanding we board your ship to be your crew. When we refused, you attacked us directly. Does that mean we should accept you?"

A Snot Beast questioned him.

"If you don't accept me, I'll beat you until you do."

The Giant Chicken Beast flapped its wings and slapped several unconvinced Snot Beasts away.

Pressured by the Giant Chicken Beast's power, most of the Snot Beasts who had glared at it in anger became timid.

"Even if you hit me, I won't accept you."

Except for one Snot Beast.

"Looks like you want another beating."

【Squeak Beast went to get help; I need to buy time.】

The Snot Beast thought.

"If you've got the guts, come on!"

It taunted with a sentence.

But unlike its taunting words, this Snot Beast quickly climbed up the nearest Big Tree.

"You bastard, you don't think you're safe just by hiding in a tree, do you?"

The Giant Chicken Beast said mockingly.

"Yes, that's what I think. Anyway, your wings as a Giant Chicken Beast have long since degenerated; you can't fly at all!"

The Snot Beast in the tree replied with a sentence, but these words stung the Giant Chicken Beast. Being a bird type yet unable to fly was the Giant Chicken Beast's pain as a bird-type Digimon.

"Damn bastard, you've angered me. I'll grab you down and tear you apart."

The angry Giant Chicken Beast ran to the base of the tree; its sturdy legs gave it powerful leaping ability, and with a single leap, it arrived in the air higher than the tree.

Seeing things were bad, the Snot Beast on the tree quickly took out pink feces and threw it at the leaping Giant Chicken Beast.

After throwing it, without looking at the result, it used its slug-like body to cling to the Trunk and crawl to the Other Side of the tree.

The Snot Beast's attack had little power, but it was somewhat disgusting.

The Giant Chicken Beast hurriedly flapped its Wings in the air; after dodging the thrown pink feces, it landed on the tree with sweat on its forehead.

"That was close. I almost got hit by Feces. You detestable Snot Beast, don't even think about escaping from my hands."

The Giant Chicken Beast began searching for the Snot Beast on the tree, while the Snot Beast used the special trick of Qin Wang circling the pillar on the tree.

During this period, it made simple Branch elasticity traps many times to counterattack the Giant Chicken Beast searching for its Traces on the tree.

But unfortunately, the difference in Strength/Power between the two was too great. The Snot Beast's little tricks, besides making the Giant Chicken Beast even angrier, caused no Harm at all.

After being beaten flat two or three times, and discovering that the Snot Beast left slime Traces when moving on the tree, the Giant Chicken Beast came up with a Main Purpose.

It made a commotion, seeming to prepare to go to the left, but actually moved to the right, circling around to behind the Trunk where the Snot Beast was hiding with a Branch, preparing to whip its face with a vine when it poked its head out.

"Careful!" A Snot Beast under the tree reminded, but it was Slow by One Step.

The Snot Beast on the tree was directly slapped down from behind by the Giant Chicken Beast using its Wings.

"Haha, damn bastard, you're dead. And you, the Snot Beast who reminded over there, you wait for me."

The Giant Chicken Beast prepared to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, while the named Snot Beast Looked Around, but its Companions around it had already distanced themselves from it.

The situation before its eyes proved that the Giant Chicken Beast Could Not Resist. Being with Companions who stood up to resist would only bring itself a more Miserable end.

"Giant Chicken Beast, I'm the one taunting you. It has nothing to do with it. If you have any ability, come at me."

The Snot Beast that fell to the ground climbed up with difficulty and shouted at the Giant Chicken Beast.

"Hmph, at a time like this, you're still playing the hero. I'll turn you into a Statue and then kick you to pieces!"

Green Light appeared in the Giant Chicken Beast's eyes. Just as it was preparing to use 【Petrification Fire】 to turn the Snot Beast before it into Stone.

"Xiaojian Roared!"

A Beam of sonic attack came from the Side. The Giant Chicken Beast hurriedly Jumped Back from its Original Place. The sonic attack hit the Big Tree on the Other Side, directly shaking the Leaves of that Big Tree off.

The one who rushed over to This Side was none other than the Puppy Beast.

"Snot Beast, are you okay?"

Squeak Beast jumped down from the Feces Beast's head, hugged the wounded Snot Beast on the ground, and asked.

"I'm fine, Squeak Beast. I've finally bought time for you to bring reinforcements."

As the Snot Beast spoke, its Breasts went limp.

"Snot Beast!"

Hearing the sound from behind, the Puppy Beast glared at the Giant Chicken Beast in front.

"Who are you, bastard?"

The Giant Chicken Beast looked at the Big Tree over there that had been roared bald, and asked Cautiously.

"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that you, bastard, attacked the Digimon under me and Abu."

"You mean this group of Snot Beasts?"

Seeing the Puppy Beast nod, the Giant Chicken Beast Cold Snorted.

"If it weren't that Snot Beasts are easier to control, and I only needed some easy-to-keep errand bastards, I wouldn't have found these wastes to be crew. However, since you're also a bastard protecting this group of Snot Beasts, I'll just defeat you too. Petrification Fire!"

The Giant Chicken Beast suddenly struck out, shooting at the Puppy Beast green Flame capable of Petrifying the Enemy.

The Giant Chicken Beast suddenly struck, firing at the Little Dog Beast a green flame capable of petrifying enemies.

But from the Side flew some spikes and green Flame colliding. The plant spikes turned into Stone and fell to the ground, while the Petrification Fire was Offset.

But from the side flew some thorns and green flame colliding head-on; the plant thorns turned into stone and dropped to the ground, while the petrification fire was offset.

Damn it, why are more Digimon showing up?

The Cactus Beast arrived somewhat slowly, but still made it to the Crime Scene in time, using its own tricks to resist the Giant Chicken Beast's tricks.

"Puppy Beast-sama, I'll help you deal with This Guy too!"

"Good."

Puppy Beast nodded, then attacked the Giant Chicken Beast alongside Cactus Beast, Left Right.

If it were an ordinary Mature Period Digimon, it would surely be taken down quickly, but Giant Chicken Beast was no ordinary Mature Period Digimon.

It was the Zhanchang of the Sha Youlun Zhan under Son Goku Beast's command; in terms of Strength/Power, it was actually somewhat stronger than ordinary Mature Period Digimon.

Facing the combined attack of Puppy Beast and Cactus Beast, it actually blocked them with its flexible Claw.

Even in the process of fighting two against one, it gradually gained the upper hand.

"Its feathers are too Thick/Substantial; my spikes can't pierce in at all."

Cactus Beast was covered in spikes all over its Body, originally its biggest weapon against enemies, but now it had no effect on Giant Chicken Beast, and worse, it could easily be grabbed by Giant Chicken Beast to deal with Puppy Beast.

Teaming up was originally supposed to be an effect of one plus one greater than two, but now it had instead become a situation where the sum was less than two.

"Haha, I thought you two were so Powerful, but is this all you've got?"

Giant Chicken Beast grabbed Cactus Beast's red Boxing Glove, swinging Cactus Beast left and right, forcing Puppy Beast to temporarily keep its distance.

"Creak~"

Cactus Beast was thrown over, Puppy Beast dodged, but Cactus Beast instead smashed a Big Tree behind it.

"Cactus Beast, don't fight anymore; leave This Guy for me to deal with myself."

Puppy Beast said.

"Sorry, Puppy Beast-sama, I've dragged you down."

Cactus Beast Apologize.

"It's not your fault; that guy is just somewhat skilled."

Puppy Beast Shook Head.

"Even the two of you together are no match for me, and you think you can beat me alone?"

Possibly because their combined attack had been frustrated, Giant Chicken Beast had become somewhat arrogant, looking down on Puppy Beast, who wanted to Solo Challenge it.

"Xiaojian Roared!"

"Your sonic attack is too Slow; you can't hit me at all!"

"Then how about this move?"

After using its Finisher, Puppy Beast ran straight toward the landing spot where Giant Chicken Beast would Jump and Dodge.

When Giant Chicken Beast landed, it also extended its Claw toward Giant Chicken Beast.

"Hah, even the spikes of a Mature Period Cactus Beast can't break through my feather defense; just counting on the tiny Claw of a Zhang Zhang Beast Digimon like you to break through my feather defense?"

The words fell, with a ripping sound, the place where Giant Chicken Beast was grabbed by the Claw directly suffered Breakdown and bled.

"Cluck cluck cluck……"

Giant Chicken Beast flapped its Wings in pain, Puppy Beast was fanned away, but it righted its Body in In Air and landed Stably.

"How can your Claw break through my defense?"

Giant Chicken Beast couldn't understand.

"Puppy Beast-sama follows Gluttony Beast King and eats nine meals a day; the data within its Body is already enormous beyond compare, and every move it uses is greatly strengthened—why couldn't it break your defense?!"

Digimon were still simple; as an enemy, Giant Chicken Beast expressed confusion, while Cactus Beast, being one of their own, could provide Explanation.

"Damn it, did you put poison on your Claw?"

A numb sensation came from the place where it was scratched, making Giant Chicken Beast somewhat panicked.

"Die, Giant Chicken Beast; I want to avenge the Snot Beast you killed!"

Puppy Beast charged up again.

But the next moment, it was blown back by the strong wind kicked up by Giant Chicken Beast's uninjured Wing.

After doing these things, Giant Chicken Beast Turned Around and ran, coming to the edge of the desert ship, and directly jumped onto the ship.

"I will definitely come back!"

Without caring that the Snot Beasts already on the ship were getting off to escape, after uttering Harsh Words, Giant Chicken Beast sneaked into the captain's cabin and Activated the Shamo Youlun.

"Woo~"

The cruise ship sounded its whistle once and began to move backward.

"Don't run, Giant Chicken Beast!"

Puppy Beast wanted to chase, but simply couldn't catch up; it didn't have Giant Chicken Beast's Jumping power, and to board the Shamo Youlun, it could only walk down the Stairs that had been lowered.

However, over there a group of Snot Beasts were still escaping downward, and the interface between the Stairs above and the ship was already controlled by Giant Chicken Beast, which had sneaked into the captain's cabin, having broken free from the cruise ship.

"Damn it, Giant Chicken Beast escaped!"

Puppy Beast was angry but also somewhat helpless.

"Sorry, Squeaky Beast; I failed to avenge your friend, the Snot Beast."

Puppy Beast walked back, saying somewhat dejectedly.

"Uh, I'm not dead yet."

The Snot Beast lying soft on the Ground raised its hand at this time.

Puppy Beast: "?!"

After the cruise ship flew away, some Petrified Feces Beasts lying on the ground also gradually broke free from the Petrified state.

Because they were too Weak and had been Petrified, Giant Chicken Beast did not continue to launch attacks on these Petrified Feces Beasts.

As a result, apart from part of the village being smashed, there was not a single casualty among others such as Feces Beasts and Snot Beasts.

Puppy Beast was somewhat bewildered, but no Digimon casualties was indeed a Good Thing; amidst the thanks of Squeaky Beast and Snot Beast, it returned together with Cactus Beast.
