Chapter 311
When Dorulumon X super-evolved into Rosemon X, descended, and embraced the Saiyan boy, happily declaring her evolution a success.
In the Digital World, the Dark Four Heavenly Kings, however, reunited on the Clown King's turf.
"The Dark Seed I implanted in Gennai's body has reacted; the Chosen Children's side should have already produced an Ultimate-level Digimon."
After the other three Dark Heavenly Kings had assembled, the Clown King straightforwardly stated the reason for convening this meeting.
"An Ultimate is an Ultimate, so what? Does an Ultimate mean they'll be our opponents? These days I've happened to have some free time; having a bit of entertainment to play with isn't bad either."
Puppetmon's attitude was utterly unconcerned; there is a gap between Ultimate and Ultimate. As one of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings capable of ruling a Self-Adaptive Domain, it did not believe that Ultimate-level Partner Digimon accelerated into existence by Holy Evolution could be opponents for its kind, who achieved the Ultimate level step by step, through slaughter.
Even if the data volume is about the same, what about battle consciousness? That is a gap that cannot be bridged.
"Puppetmon, we still need to be more cautious. After all, behind the Chosen Children, there is still the existence of Homeostasis."
Machinedramon warned, but while these words seemed addressed to Puppetmon, they were actually meant for the Clown King beside him, whose gaze had already turned cold.
The Dark Four Heavenly Kings are said to be equal in status, but in reality, the Clown King is the leader. The reason is none other than the fact that the opponent's strength is the strongest.
If not for Homeostasis, Yggdrasil, and the fact that their own strength and factions are also not bad, the Dark Heavenly King ruling the Digital World might well be only one.
Of course, it could also be two or three; Machinedramon is not certain whether the Clown King, besides wooing itself, has also wooed MetalSeadramon.
As for Puppetmon, this guy with a heavy playful streak and no tact, the Clown King probably looks down on it somewhat.
It is only because it itself refuses to be subordinate to others that it did not agree to the Clown King's wooing, instead taking the initiative to weed out the inferior elements among the Dark Four Heavenly Kings.
A balance is needed between them; at least when ensuring MetalSeadramon is won over, it can ally with the tactless but barely somewhat capable Puppetmon to oppose the other two.
"That guy refuses to take the field himself and only knows how to manufacture trouble for us."
Puppetmon's words made the other Dark Heavenly Kings' hearts somewhat unable to hold back; ruling the Digital World for so long has made them a bit conceited, to the point they don't even put the Digital World's balance system, Homeostasis, in their eyes anymore?
"In any case, we must strangle the threat in the cradle. Clown King, that's your meaning, right?"
MetalSeadramon asked the Clown King directly.
"Correct."
The Clown King nodded, but inwardly sighed in relief; fortunately, there are still two normal ones.
MetalSeadramon and Machinedramon both began ignoring Puppetmon and discussed serious business with the Clown King.
"Then, where are the Chosen Children who have evolved Ultimate-level Partner Digimon now? I'll go deal with them right away."
Seeing itself being somewhat ignored, Puppetmon started clamoring impatiently.
"That Chosen Child went to the Real World, pursuing a subordinate of mine with extremely great ambition."
Myotismon is also a member of the Nightmare Soldiers, and the Clown King is the Leader of the Nightmare Soldiers.
"The Real World, then how do we get there?"
MetalSeadramon asked.
"Going to the Real World is not difficult; my Steel Empire has mastered this technology. But the problem is, the flow of time in the Real World and the Digital World is not the same. Once we go over there, the order we have built on this side of the Digital World might be abolished."
Machinedramon raised the difficulty. Which of them doesn't have some ambitious Digimon Kings under their command? With the Dark Four Heavenly Kings present, they can naturally suppress everything, maintain their rule over this world, and continue the order they have established in this world.
But if they are gone, there will certainly be no shortage of ambitious usurpers. Coupled with Homeostasis fanning the flames, one can imagine the situation on this side at that time.
"Simple. Just leave one of us behind to guard the Digital World, and that'll do it."
As soon as these words came out, Puppetmon suffered a barrage of white eyes.
The Dark Four Heavenly Kings were never a monolith to begin with; they only huddled together to form an alliance because of common interests and goals.
In a situation like this, who would be willing to leave an ally of the same rank in their own home after they themselves have left their lair?
What if, while going to the Real World to deal with the Chosen Children, they get stabbed in the back by the ally left in the Digital World, cut off from retreat, have their base stolen, and can't return to the Digital World? What then?
However, conversely, simply letting one Dark Heavenly King go to the Real World to deal with the Chosen Child is feasible. For example, letting Puppetmon go alone to the Real World to deal with the Chosen Child, while the three of them help watch the house.
The Clown King was moved and proposed this idea, but unfortunately, aside from Puppetmon being eager to try, MetalSeadramon and Machinedramon opposed it.
"We Dark Four Heavenly Kings share the same breath and branches; we should properly advance and retreat together."
And the reason given left the Clown King unable to refute.
"MetalSeadramon, Machinedramon……"
Conversely, upon hearing these words, Puppetmon felt a heavy sense of comradeship.
Although MetalSeadramon and Machinedramon merely worry that once the balance of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings is broken, a situation might arise where the Clown King's family dominates alone.
"This won't do, that won't do. Then what do you plan to do? Just let that Chosen Child who has already completed their Partner Digimon's Ultimate Evolution grow up, and then, just like we defeated the Four Holy Beasts, ultimately be defeated by them?"
"Of course not. Hmm, Clown King, that program you wanted me to do, I've already made it."
Hearing this, the Clown King narrowed his eyes and asked: "When was this?"
"Recently."
Machinedramon's voice had no fluctuation.
"Then why didn't you notify me?"
"That program was not yet perfected before this."
"That really is a coincidence; it just happened to become perfected right when I convened this meeting."
"Indeed it is."
The Clown King chuckled lightly, neither affirming nor denying Machinedramon's answer.
Probably the opponent had already attempted to bring all the Digital World's information data under its command and failed, only then generously revealing at this moment that the Apocalypse Program was complete.
And something like this, the Clown King had already anticipated when he entrusted the Apocalypse Program to Machinedramon for development.
"Since the Apocalypse Program is already complete, we should also revise our target. Currently, the most important thing is not eliminating potential threats, but changing the Digital World's entire operating procedure, so that Homeostasis can no longer balance-check our actions.
Activate it, the Apocalymon Plan. Gather all the Digital World's information, with our Elements as the main, reconstruct the entire world, abolish the Original Village's functions, fundamentally stop the Digital World's evolution. This world will forever be ours."
"Has it finally come to this moment? I have waited a long time."
MetalSeadramon grew somewhat excited. Integrating the Digital World's information — only then can one become the Digital World's true Dominant.
Being able to control the evolution of all Digimon within one's own Self-Adaptive Domain — then so-called ambitious types are nothing but a joke.
They will no longer fear potential rebellion from their subordinate Digimon, after all, as long as Ultimate Level evolution is restricted, who can deal with them as Ultimate Levels?
At that time, only the Chosen Children and their Partner Digimon will be able to threaten them.
Once they are dealt with, the Digital World will forever be the Dark Four Heavenly Kings' back garden; even if the Digital World and Real World connect afterwards, it will merely expand their back garden's territory a bit more.
As for Partner Digimon in the Real World growing and developing, forget it; given the time flow difference between the Real World and Digital World, who can develop more than them staying in the Digital World?
When the opposition returns to the Digital World, they, having already completed the Apocalymon Plan, will control all data entering the Digital World.
At that time, just place the Chosen Children's landing points before them and their group; four Ultimate Level BOSSes blocking the way, mere Ultimate Level Partner Digimon — isn't that easy pickings? Is there even a need to proactively go to the Real World for preemptive elimination?
"The only problem now is, with the four of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement the Apocalypse Program."
"The program isn't perfected yet?"
"It's perfected, but power is insufficient; we need four powerful Power Sources."
"For example?"
"The sealed Four Holy Beasts."
Hearing this, the Clown King laughed, SteelSeadramon laughed, and even Puppetmon laughed along.
The Four Holy Beasts were dealt with long ago; they're not a problem at all.
Of course, Machinedramon isn't worried about this either, only worried that Homeostasis might interfere.
The Apocalypse Program was activated, and the Digital World underwent massive changes.
All intelligence was gathered, forming a spiral-shaped Spiral Tornado Mountain at the very center of the Digital World.
Because its masters are the Dark Four Heavenly Kings, it is also called Dark Tornado Mountain.
The concentration of high-density data broke through the boundaries of the two worlds that were already in contact.
"Look at the sky quickly, what is that?"
Real World, no matter which place, all saw the Dark Tornado Mountain appearing in the sky overhead.
"Ah, there are Digimon; could that be the Digimon world?"
Someone took out an Astronomical Telescope to observe the situation in the sky overhead, and saw traces of some Digimon up there.
Cross-referencing with the introduction on their downloaded Digital Guide, they instantly had some guesses about the world reflection appearing in the sky overhead.
And the Digital World's time, and the Real World's time, because the boundaries were broken through, the flow speed ratio began to draw close.
So, when Homeostasis's mouthpiece, Old Man Gennai, contacted them and told the Chosen Children about the Dark Four Heavenly Kings integrating intelligence in the Digital World.
Broly also noticed on the Crystal Palace Panel his Stay Duration in the Digital World, plummeting like a falling jump.
"Once the two worlds merge, Digimon will be able to easily enter the Real World, and the Dark Four Heavenly Kings can lead their Army to invade; Chosen Children, the only ones who can save both worlds now are you, please..."
Old Man Gennai's request hadn't finished, when Broly, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, directly sprang up.
"No, I have to go back to the Digital World, stop the Dark Four Heavenly Kings!"
With a Bang, Mimi's House's roof was smashed by the Saiyan boy hugging Dorumon X and flying away.
"Ah, my house's roof!"
Mimi, reacting, exclaimed.
"What do we do now?"
Joe Kido looked at Tai Yi.
"Broly went over; we'll go over too, can't let him face it alone."
The Chosen Children still had plenty of loyalty; they immediately made the decision.
Standing behind them, some parents who also heard Old Man Gennai's words wanted to stop their own children from going on another Adventure to the Digital World.
But their shoulders were pressed down by their husbands beside them; the men pointed upward, and everyone unanimously looked at the big hole in Mimi's House's roof.
Going there, it seems that tall Broly is also holding the line, and he's far more capable than their own kids.
Thinking of the boy's appetite, the adults felt at ease; a kid who can eat that much is definitely a strong fighter too.
"Then we're off."
Light of data descended from the sky; Tai Yi and the others, bringing their Partner Digimon, directly walked past.
"Jia Er, where are you going?"
Tai's mother bid farewell to her son, but discovered her daughter also following along, and hurriedly pulled her back.
"I want to go with Big Brother; Dorumon's evolution needs me."
After an argument, Yagami Kari also entered the Light of data.
Fortunately, Broly left in a rush and didn't take back the Digivice in her hand.
A group of Chosen Children began to be Teleported back to the Digital World.
On Broly's side, the Spaceship Fortress had already Activated a step ahead.
"Time is tight this time, Molecule Beast, you better not mess up and Transmigrate to some other Digital World."
"Absolutely won't make a mistake, rest assured, Gluttony Beast King."
Molecule Beast was very confident.
"Right, I extracted some peculiar Dark Data from GrandDracumon; Dorumon X, want to try Absorbing it?"
Molecule Beast asked again.
"What Dark Data?"
Dorumon X was Curious.
"Demon Lord Type Dark Data."
The Dark Evolution Armor upgraded again, but added another branch.
Dorumon X Dark Evolution, Mervamon X.
Ophanimon X Ultimate Evolution...
Lilithmon X, dressed in glorious robes and bearing the air of a dark queen, appeared on the spaceship.
In less than two hours, Dorulumon gained yet another new Wife Form.
This was originally worth celebrating, but seeing his Stay Duration had already dropped into double digits, Broly couldn't quite bring himself to be happy.
"Abu, don't you like this Evolution of mine?"
Lilithmon X asked.
"No, I like it very much, it's just..."
Broly thought for a moment, feeling she would find out sooner or later, and so told Lilithmon X about it.
When he heard Broly would return to his own world, and that there was a Stay Duration in This World, and that this Stay Duration had been cruelly reduced because of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings' actions in the Digital World, thick dark Breath rose from Lilithmon X.
"Damn the Dark Four Heavenly Kings!"
The Spaceship Fortress set off first, but its Transmigration speed was not as good as the Homeostatic Data Light's Transport.
Tai Yigami and the other Chosen Children arrived at the Digital World even earlier than the Spaceship Fortress.
But as soon as they arrived on This Side, they ran into the Dark Four Heavenly Kings blocking their Descent point.
As expected, with only MetalGarurumon as an Ultimate Level among them, they were easily defeated by the Dark Four Heavenly Kings.
