Chapter 273: Escape Route

"Calling for help counts as a finisher?"

Son Goku Beast wanted to ask that, but an extreme wind pressure blowing from the direction of the dense forest made it hold its tongue.

"Alright, little dog, hmm, BlackDillamon, I'm here to help you."

BlackDillamon was also blown up; a pair of small hands embraced it from behind. Broly replied to its words, appearing before Son Goku Beast in the posture of holding a black cat.

"You are Gluttony Beast?"

Son Goku Beast watched the Saiyan boy with vigilance, his entrance somewhat exaggerated; the eyes behind the sunglasses stared intently at the tail at the boy's waist, yet it did not doubt the other was a human child.

"BlackDillamon, rest well. From here on, I'll handle things."

"Mm, leaving it to you, A-Bru."

BlackDillamon nodded obediently, was placed by Broly beside a tree at the back, and sat leaning against the big tree.

After doing these things, Broly turned to look at Son Goku Beast and answered: "Gluttony Beast, that is what others call me. From now on, I will deal with your problem.

You just wanted to make BlackDillamon experience despair, right? Then I'll let you experience despair as well.

You're Son Goku Beast, right? Are you prepared to experience despair?"

Broly asked very politely; this was repayment for Son Goku Beast just now being willing to give BlackDillamon the chance to use his ultimate finisher 【Call for Help】.

"Make me experience despair? You bastard wouldn't think that just because you're fast, you can definitely take down This King, would you?"

Son Goku Beast had to admit the guy opposite was very fast, but fast speed doesn't mean anything; BlackDillamon's speed was also faster than it, yet he was still beaten down by it all the same.

"Take me down?"

Broly looked Son Goku Beast up and down.

"What kind of look is that?"

The observed Son Goku Beast only felt a chill rise from its feet, then received the boy's slightly disdainful gaze.

"Sorry, I don't eat dolls."

In Broly's cognition of ingredients, moving doll monkeys were not included.

"You bastard, who are you calling a doll?!"

Although it was indeed a doll-type Digimon, it was precisely because of that that Son Goku Beast was unwilling to be treated as a doll by other guys.

"If you need me to apologize, I can apologize to you, but putting that aside, can I bring you despair now?"

Broly's patience was being consumed.

"Hah, if you've got the guts come at me, I, Son Goku Beast King..."

Son Goku Beast's words weren't finished yet; Broly, having received agreement, vanished from his original spot, directly appearing before Son Goku Beast, a small hand approaching under the reflection in Son Goku Beast's sunglasses, slowed down countless times.

"Bang—"

Son Goku Beast was directly grabbed by the head with a single small hand and smashed into the ground.

The ground was smashed into a crater; when the pain hit, Son Goku Beast, sunken into the ground, finally reacted to what happened.

"So painful, you bastard..."

Son Goku Beast raised a leg to kick, but the leg was caught by Broly.

Broly spun along the momentum, flinging the sunken Son Goku Beast up and away.

After two rotations, he aimed at a vehicle resembling an oil tanker in the distance and threw it over.

With a rumble, Son Goku Beast smashed into its own concert vehicle.

Pushing off with his feet, Broly arrived at high altitude.

Looking at the somewhat twisted vehicle below, he plummeted downward at extreme speed.

"Bang—"

The middle of the concert vehicle was stomped flat by the descending Saiyan boy.

Son Goku Beast narrowly dodged this fatal stomp.

A crackling sound of electric current rang out; Son Goku Beast heard it and immediately rushed out.

"Boom—"

The vehicle connected by black cables turned into a giant fireball in the next moment, exploding directly.

The huge explosion raised a shockwave; Son Goku Beast was also blown onto the ground.

"Serves you right, bastard. This King's concert vehicle, is that something you can stomp on?"

After climbing up, it started gloating a little.

But when it looked back, that gloating emotion rapidly turned into terror.

The reflection in the sunglasses showed the explosion's flames being pushed away by an invisible force.

Gluttony Beast ignored the explosion, walking out of the burning flames with leisurely steps, slowly approaching this side.

"Damn it, what kind of monster are you?"

Son Goku Beast hurriedly formed a Dark Necro Sphere and threw it at Broly; the Dark Necro Sphere formed by its own hands carried immense destructive power, the manifestation of chaotic data, able to easily erase the substance of the Digital World, even Digimon.

But the Dark Necro Sphere hit Broly's body and vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, merely twisting the space before the boy once before disappearing completely.

"What did you do? Where's my Dark Necro Sphere?"

Seeing this, Son Goku Beast questioned.

"You mean this strange energy bullet?"

Broly raised his hand; a Dark Necro Sphere emerged. He had actually reproduced Son Goku Beast's move.

"I used Absorption Touch to absorb it. What, you want it back? If you want it, I'll give it back to you."

Saying so, Broly threw the Dark Necro Sphere in his hand back.

Son Goku Beast's eyes widened, but it still didn't forget to dodge.

The Dark Necro Sphere exploded; space twisted for a moment.

Positive and negative data offset each other, producing a massive explosion.

The smoke and dust dispersed, and a huge pit appeared on the spot.

At the edge of the pit, looking at destruction even greater than that caused by its own Dark Necro Sphere, Gokumon fell completely silent.

How is this supposed to be fought? Its finisher is completely useless, and was even learned by the opponent.

Could it be that it can only learn from that BlackDramon over there and call for help?

Gokumon did want to call out, but the problem was it had no one to call for help.

"The gap in strength between us, I imagine you've already felt it. Then it's about time for you to fall into despair."

Before Gokumon could think of a way to resolve the predicament, Broly attacked again, but he had no intention of instant-killing Gokumon.

Rather, he used fists and feet to make Gokumon feel pain, let the other struggle desperately, and let the other gradually sink into despair amid futile struggle.

"Dark Necro Sphere, Dark Necro Sphere..."

Battered black and blue, Gokumon tried to stop Broly's approach.

It discovered that as long as it threw its Dark Necro Spheres fast enough, they could still explode.

However, this level of explosive power held no meaning for Broly.

Face-tanking the Dark Necro Sphere, reaching out to grab Gokumon amid the explosion, and then delivering a brutal beating.

When Gokumon was about to give up, he would deliberately let the other escape.

Then he would approach again, beat it again, give the other a chance...

Cycling repeatedly like this, bringing Gokumon the deepest despair constructed from an absolute gap in strength. Gokumon wanted to flee, but couldn't escape.

Resistance, too, was utterly meaningless.

Like a hooked fish, played by the angler holding the rod.

And the damn angler didn't even plan to reel in the somewhat powerless it.

Seemingly waiting for it to voluntarily swim into the keep net, into that abyss of despair.

"Hey, what's wrong, Gokumon, get up already. Didn't you say after dealing with BlackDramon you'd go deal with the other Digimon in the forest? Why are you lying on the ground sleeping now?"

The Saiyan boy kicked Gokumon flying, and before the other even hit the ground, he arrived at the landing point a step ahead, stomping on Gokumon's head, sinking it into the sand.

"The ground's too cold, lying like that you'll catch a cold. I'll help warm you up."

Energy beams struck the sand to the side, melting the sand.

"So hot!"

Gokumon cried out in pain from the heat, struggling in the melting sand.

Fairy Digimon hiding in the dark: "..."

Who the real villain is, it could no longer tell clearly.

It only knew that the originally arrogant Gokumon was now being abused miserably.

And the guy abusing it was suspected to be an Ultimate-level existence.

Somewhat tyrannical — clearly possessing the strength to easily finish off Gokumon, yet deliberately not finishing it, instead torturing Gokumon.

Giving Gokumon room to struggle, but only futile struggle, and that Gokumon over there was also slowly losing the will to resist.

【No, that's not right...】

Upon noticing Gokumon gradually struggling closer and closer to BlackDramon, Fairy Digimon suddenly reacted, realizing something.

And right at this moment, Gokumon raised its hand and fired a Dark Necro Sphere at BlackDramon resting by the tree.

After firing, the battered and wretched Gokumon also fired Dark Necro Spheres in other directions.

Bombarding out a large cloud of smoke, Gokumon then drilled into the smoke and began fleeing in one direction.

While running, it kept throwing Dark Necro Spheres, and some of these Dark Necro Spheres went toward BlackDramon's direction.

This is called "attack the enemy's must-save point," thereby delaying the enemy's potential pursuit steps.

And some other Dark Necro Spheres struck unrelated places.

Mainly to maintain the smoke's existence, achieving a vision-blocking effect.

Gokumon ran wildly through the smoke, like the Digimon King it was, evolved from slaughter at the bottom.

The situation just now indeed made it despair, but it didn't give up the hope that might let it survive just because of despair.

Gokumon, during the beating, worked hard observing the environment, considering BlackDramon's importance to Gluttonmon, and came up with the plan with the highest chance of successful escape.

And this was its escape method, its escape route...

Gokumon fleeing in the smoke didn't run toward the desert, but turned a corner outside the smoke and ran back toward the forest.

Gokumon knew that running toward the desert, with no cover, it would be very hard to escape from Gluttonmon's hands.

To escape, it could only pretend to flee toward the desert, but actually turn from the other side into the forest and hide there.

"Gluttonmon, if you let this King survive this time, you just wait. Wait for this King to evolve into an Ultimate-level later and come take back this debt!"

Fairy Digimon: "..."

Watching Gokumon running toward its hiding spot, hesitating whether to throw the Dimensional Blast Missile in its hand.

And before Fairy Digimon could decide what to do, a terrifying energy stream suddenly broke through the smoke, submerging Gokumon.

Gokumon didn't even let out a grunt; its Digimon Core was annihilated in the sweeping terrifying energy stream.

It not only failed to survive, it didn't even have the chance to revert to a Digimental — its core data was utterly erased.

Fairy Digimon's eyes widened, cold sweat breaking out on its forehead. That terrifying energy stream had nearly grazed its hiding spot.

Turning its head, looking toward BlackDramon's direction, it saw that Gluttonmon standing expressionless in front of BlackDramon.

The composed posture the other showed while beating Gokumon had now completely vanished.

Seemingly because Gokumon nearly harmed BlackDramon, the other was enraged.

And that terrifying attack should have been fired by the other.

It was close, really just a little distance away—this innocent Digimon of his hiding in the dark almost got taken away along with that attack just now.

"Father was right; I should be more cautious."

Broly over there reflected on his mistake, and because his power completely surpassed Son Goku Beast's, he had underestimated the other party a bit.

And although Son Goku Beast's sudden attack this time hadn't injured BlackWarGreymon Beast, it was only because his reaction was fast enough.

But what if next time he encountered an enemy with even faster attack speed—wouldn't he lose his wife? Thinking this, Broly slapped himself twice, the loud slapping sounds scared BlackWarGreymon Beast behind him into a jump.

"Ab, what's wrong with you?"

BlackWarGreymon Beast hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, I just made a mistake in handling Son Goku Beast's matter, unexpectedly almost letting Son Goku Beast hurt you."

"Then you don't need to hurt yourself like this?"

BlackWarGreymon Beast felt very pained for the boy; those two slaps just now, Broly had really hit hard, harder than beating Son Goku Beast, even causing sonic booms in the air.

"I'm fine, but you, are you okay?"

Blood at the corner of his mouth wasn't really an injury, but the pain could make the impression deeper, Broly would remember this lesson.

In the future, when bringing despair to enemies, he must at least guarantee his wife's personal safety.

"I'm fine too……"

BlackWarGreymon Beast said this, his body suddenly collapsed as he stood up, showing a pained expression, curling into a ball on the ground.

"BlackWarGreymon Beast, what's wrong with you?"

Broly hurriedly came over and squatted down to check BlackWarGreymon Beast's condition, but BlackWarGreymon Beast lying on the ground could no longer answer his questions.

Even if Broly tried to inject life energy into the other's body, he couldn't make BlackWarGreymon Beast recover, which left Broly somewhat at a loss.

Pixie Beast originally saw that no one discovered it and was preparing to secretly leave, but unexpectedly such a change suddenly appeared over there.

"Let me take a look."

After thinking it over, Pixie Beast still flew out from the tree it was hiding in.

Although Gluttony Beast looked very dangerous, the other party's tense posture of caring for a companion was not fake.

And since Puppy Beast had evolved into BlackWarGreymon Beast, Pixie Beast felt it should also bear some responsibility for this, although it inherently had no such responsibility.

"Who are you?"

Broly didn't recognize the pink dumpling-shaped Pixie Beast; seeing the other party preparing to approach BlackWarGreymon Beast in pain, he subconsciously raised his hand to block the other party.

"I am Pixie Beast, I know many Digimon problems, I can help you check BlackWarGreymon Beast's condition."

Pixie Beast explained concisely.

Hearing that the pink dumpling-shaped Pixie Beast might know what was wrong with BlackWarGreymon Beast, Broly retreated to the side.

Just somewhat nervous, standing at the side watching Pixie Beast check BlackWarGreymon Beast's condition.

"How is it, what exactly is wrong with BlackWarGreymon Beast?"
