Chapter 305

"Enemies obstructing the Ark Project?"

Realizing he had been attacked, Omegamon tried to raise his head but discovered a tremendous force pressing down on the back of his head, and decisively used Absolute Cold Bullet downward.

"Craniamon, move!"

Omegamon froze himself, but also froze Broly inside the ice; he entrusted the task of attacking the enemy to his companion at his side.

"Royal Gunshot!"

Craniamon did not hesitate either; the Holy Spear Gungnir in his hand blazed with dazzling light, and a scorching energy gunshot light beam stabbed toward the back of the enemy who had suddenly ambushed Omegamon.

The boy's back was pierced through, a white light beam emerging from his front chest; just as Craniamon thought his attack had taken effect, the pierced petite figure gradually disappeared.

"Afterimage?"

Craniamon's eyes widened; from the corner of his eye he caught sight of a foreign object attacking from the side.

But before he could raise the shield in his hand, his right cheek was struck by the Saiyan boy's right hand back.

With a boom, Craniamon was blown away.

Like a cannonball, he pierced through one small-town building after another.

With a bang, he smashed into a thick stone wall.

His whole body sank into the stone wall, and only then did he stop.

"Mr. Broly……"

WarGreymon's eyes widened; he had not expected that the stranger he had met just once a moment ago would come to help at this time, and defeat two Royal Knights in a single encounter.

"My companion's data is being deleted; do you have a way?"

Broly landed before this WarGreymon whose form had changed somewhat, and asked outright.

"Have the Fairymon and the others also been infected by the X Program?"

WarGreymon realized something and immediately asked.

Broly nodded.

This world's World Tree wants to delete some Digimon; that has nothing to do with him.

If it weren't for the fact that after returning to the spaceship, Belphemon and the others suddenly discovered their internal data was self-deleting, he would never have come down at all.

Now the entire spaceship fortress has activated its protective barrier against the outside world, but Belphemon and the others, infected with the X Program, cannot easily purge the X Program from their bodies.

And Dotmon's stopgap method is to isolate them temporarily, place them in the Data Transmission Room; however much data the X Program deletes from their bodies, he infuses that much data to fill the gap.

However, this treats the symptom not the root cause; it merely delays the X Program's deletion process.

"This is bad; Digimon infected with the X Program basically can only rely on themselves to pull through."

"But what if they can't pull through?"

"If they can't pull through, they'll die."

WarGreymon looked back at the ground covered in clothing — remnants left by Digimon whose data had been erased.

Broly's expression turned somewhat ugly; at this moment he realized that other worlds carry risks, and transmigration requires caution.

Crouching, the Tyranno Sword swept past the top of his head.

A back kick sent the frost-covered Omegamon flying.

But the opponent quickly halted in midair; aside from an obvious footprint at the waist and a somewhat bedraggled appearance, there were no other injuries.

And the blown-away Craniamon had also returned; likewise, aside from a fist mark on the side of his helmet, he had no other damage.

"You guys are pretty tough."

Broly was a little surprised.

"I thought you were already dead."

He looked at Craniamon and said.

"Careful, this guy is extremely powerful."

Craniamon warned his companion beside him.

"Mm, I know."

Omegamon nodded.

The armor on him and Craniamon is constructed of Chronicle Digizoid.

Chronicle Digizoid provides corresponding defensive capability based on data volume.

With the terrifying data volume possessed by their Royal Knight bodies, their defense power is astonishing; they could even bathe in some Ultimate-level Digimon's finishing moves and be fine, yet the opponent managed to leave marks on them.

Clearly, those simple fist-and-foot attacks have already surpassed the attack power of many Ultimate-level Digimon.

"The X Program can only be endured by oneself? Isn't there any other way, like making them stop it?"

Broly asked the WarGreymon behind him.

"I don't know, but perhaps they have a way to stop the X Program; after all, the Ark Project is being executed by the Royal Knights."

WarGreymon — or rather, now he should be called WarGreymon X — only knows about the Ark Project; as for more inside details, such as the operating principle of the X Program, that is not something he can know.

"I have only one requirement: stop the X Program inside my companion's body."

Broly restated his requirement once more.

"You are strong, but the World Tree's will is absolute; we Royal Knights do not fear powerful enemies."

The Ark Project: aside from those chosen Digimon who can survive, all others must be erased.

In the view of Omegamon and Craniamon, Broly's situation is not that of a chosen one, so there is fundamentally nothing to negotiate.

"I am not a person of this world; my companions and I are merely passing through this world."

Craniamon froze for a moment; he had truly never encountered this kind of situation.

"Then as foreign data invading the world, you all the more must be erased."

Just as he was wondering whether to report upward, Omegamon beside him had already spoken, his attitude extremely hardline.

"Since that's the case, I'll just keep hitting you until you change your minds."

Omegamon's words made Broly directly extinguish the thought of communicating with words; he prepared to communicate with force, with his fists.

The ground was crushed underfoot, and a shockwave exploded in front of WarGreymon X, blowing it away; by then, the battle overhead had already begun.

Broly pinned down the two Royal Knights and beat them, but the Royal Knights' astonishing defense power still gave them the strength to fight back.

Although their ability to fight back was extremely feeble, they could only fire freezing air bullets that froze the grassland, or Royal Spear Strikes that shattered the ground.

The battle's aftereffects quickly leveled the small town below; to avoid affecting the Spaceship Fortress in the sky, Broly intentionally knocked the two Digimon in a direction away from the Spaceship Fortress.

All the way along the fight, the grassy plains were destroyed; however, none of this was Broly's fault — after all, he didn't even use energy bullets; it was all the skills used by Omegamon and Craniamon who resisted him.

"No good, the two of us aren't his match; we have to request support."

Kicked down from the sky again, smashing a meteor crater into the ground, Craniamon spoke.

The gap in strength is simply too large; it and Omegamon are only barely blocking the other's pummeling by relying on the powerful defense provided by the Chronicle Digizoid on their bodies, but defeat is only a matter of time.

Look at the fist marks on its shield — this was even while the other party tanked the Extreme Paradise attack and punched upward with his fist.

"You call for support; I'll delay him."

Omegamon intercepted the boy who was about to use a diving strike on Craniamon; the WarGreymon Port on his hand was no longer the Tyranno Sword.

That thing had already been smashed by Broly; now he was using Gaia Energy Bullets, crossing blasts with the Garuru Cannon, creating a spectacular scene of ice and fire.

However, this attack was useless; Broly merely put up an energy barrier, and all energy attacks were repelled — they couldn't even break his energy barrier, let alone harm him personally.

He had no intention of stopping Craniamon from calling for aid; two Royal Knights are punching bags in front of him, so would a group of Royal Knights be able to change the situation of being punching bags?

Facts proved Broly was right; other Royal Knights quickly transferred over through Data Space, yet they were still just there to get beaten.

"Two fists can't oppose four hands" does not exist here with Broly; as long as speed is fast enough and attack frequency high enough, he alone is four hands, while the twelve Royal Knights facing him in unison are the two fists — beaten with zero ability to fight back, all relying on their Digizoid armor to take the beating one by one just to withstand this Saiyan's attacks.

As punching bags, this group of Royal Knights is qualified.

However, no matter how good a punching bag, it can't withstand a Saiyan's wild bombardment and kicking.

As Craniamon's shield shattered under the unbearable load, the Royal Knights' defeat became inevitable.

"Now, tell me: can the X Program be shut down, or can it not?"

Shattering the defensive armor that GoldDramon prided itself on, he threw the other away like garbage.

Stepping on Omegamon's head, Broly asked the question again.

Omegamon: "..."

Does this really have to be asked while stepping on its head?

It really wanted to resist, but was already powerless to resist.

Both arms had already been crushed; whether Garuru Cannon or Tyranno Sword, both were completely destroyed.

"The X Program is operated by the World Tree; we have no authority to interfere."

With its shield shattered and its long spear twisted into a twisted breadstick and dropped to the side, Craniamon answered.

"Craniamon, do you intend to betray the World Tree?"

The heavily injured GoldDramon questioned; SkullGreymon also glared at Craniamon.

"The current situation is already not a problem we can handle; we have to contact the World Tree, don't we?"

Craniamon's retort made the other Royal Knights unexpectedly quiet down, as if they all tacitly acknowledged this point.

"Then where is the World Tree?"

"In Data Space; I can open a passage."

Broly stopped attacking this group of Royal Knights, allowing Craniamon to pick up its own shattered shield fragments scattered around.

Once pieced together, Craniamon barely managed to use a damaged version of Extreme Paradise; a reddish-brown light beam struck the sky, and a glowing spatial passage was opened.

But before Broly could fly up, a terrifying data stream surged out from the spatial passage, falling from the sky, precisely landing on every single Royal Knight on the ground.

In just an instant, those Royal Knights beaten down by Broly all revived to full health from their defeat CGs.

The armor on their bodies not only recovered as before, but was also covered in a layer of golden color, looking as if plated with a layer of gold.

"We Royal Knights are at our strongest when receiving the World Tree's support."

"The World Tree provides us with a continuous stream of data."

"This can restore our physical strength and repair our injuries."

"At the same time, our armor also becomes indestructible because of this support."

"You, this guy, can defeat us without support, but absolutely cannot defeat us with the World Tree's support."

"Craniamon, well done; still you have the most brains — on the pretext of opening a passage for this guy, you actually brought the Master's power over."

The fully revived Royal Knights spoke, one sentence each.

"So, I've been played?"

Broly asked.

"You weren't played; you just want to see the World Tree, so you must face us twelve Royal Knights who guard the World Tree. As long as you can defeat us under the World Tree's support, you will naturally be able to see our master — the World Tree."

Royal Knights at peak condition fight enemies while carrying the World Tree — this great spring — on their backs; in this world there are basically no Digimon who can deal with Royal Knights in this state; even if the Seven Great Demon Lords of the Dark Area gather their Dark Forces to besiege the World Tree, it's the same.

Royal Knights stacked with all kinds of buffs are confident they can defeat any enemy in this world.

Too bad, Broly is not a person of this world.

Just then, the boy raised his right hand, and an energy ball appeared on it.

The energy ball shifted from light green to dark green, then from dark green to ink green, until it turned pitch-black like ink, then he threw it toward the Royal Knights entering the second phase.

No terrifying explosion appeared; just like a silent film, the energy ball began to expand, very easily submerging the Royal Knights; the Royal Knights, like melting ice cubes, were fundamentally unable to recover and were simply evaporated.

And evaporated along with them was the world behind them; this Digital World had one-third of itself erased in a single instant.

Even the Dark Area below saw the brilliant sun at this moment; data that had already been deleted once suffered deletion again at this moment.

"Stop the X Program, or I'll personally help you delete this world's data; I guarantee I'll delete it clean, absolutely not leaving a single speck of dust."

Broly condensed another Compressed Energy Bullet, aimed it at the residual Ground beneath his feet, and spoke to the Channel in the Sky that was still in an open state.

The Digital World is roughly the size of Earth, but destroying a Planet the size of Earth is no difficult matter for Broly.

Dorumon's infection by the X Program had already made Broly's Mood very Anxious, and yet the Royal Knights challenged his Patience again and again.

Now, Broly has no Patience left; either the World Tree lifts the X Program, or This World need not Exist any longer.

He will Personally help this World's World Tree Delete data — the kind that Deletes the other party itself along with it.

The Channel in the Sky gave no Reply, only a beam of colorful light data shot rapidly toward the Direction he had come from.

Seeing This, Broly Retracted his hand and hurriedly followed after it to check the situation.

The colorful light did not Fall on the Spaceship Fortress, but Fell on the body of WarGreymon X on the Ground.

"Where are Omegamon and Craniamon?"

Seeing the boy who had Fallen before him, WarGreymon X asked.

"They were unwilling to Close the X Program, so I Solved them."

Broly answered truthfully.

"Is that so……"

WarGreymon X's Gaze was somewhat Complex.

"What does the World Tree mean?"

Broly pointed at the colorful light on its body and asked.

"The World Tree wants me to Solve this world-ending great crisis; as long as I Solve it, I can become a new Royal Knight."

"Then how do you want to Solve it?"

"I Don't Want to become a Royal Knight, but I also Don't Want to see This World destroyed, so……"

WarGreymon X thrust a claw into its own Chest and pulled out a sphere of light data.

"This is the X Antibody; give this to your Companions to Absorb, and they will be Free/Idle."

WarGreymon X Kneel Down; this is the information the World Tree told it.

"Then what about you?"

Broly accepted WarGreymon X's X Antibody, frowned, and asked.

"Me? I have already saved This World; that is already enough."

WarGreymon X collapsed completely; the X Program Rapidly Decomposed its body, but a portion of data seemed to have been taken away by the World Tree's colorful light.

Broly's Mood was Not Good; WarGreymon X's death touched him somewhat.

But right now is not the time to think too much; Broly carried the X Antibody and hurried back to the Spaceship Fortress, handing the X Antibody to Dotmon.

After testing confirmed it was not bad data, he Injected it into the Bodies of Belphemon, Lilamon, and Piximon.

With the X Antibody, the self-deletion programs of the data in their Bodies finally stopped, only the X Antibody changed their external forms.

Belphemon became Belphemon X; its twin guns became a combination of shotgun and Rifle, and pitch-black feathered Wings appeared on its back.

"I seem to have become even stronger."

This was the answer Belphemon X gave when Broly asked how it felt upon waking.
