Chapter 1807: NO.422: The foreign language one learns fastest is often Tibetan

NO. 422: The foreign language one learns fastest is often Tibetan.

「Clearly you chose to leave, but then you turned around and changed your mind… Is this also the expression of the freedom you seek, King? 」

「「Do you still regard me as a king? Knight, 」 Baal Beast X gazed at the Dark Knight Beast whose head was a bit higher than his own current self, 「Truly unexpected. 」」

Just as the throne of the Pride Demon King has changed hands only a few times, and each term is known for being war‑mad and solitary, so the Digimon able to follow at its side are usually war‑mad as well, and moreover act as challengers to the war‑mad at its side.

Upon arriving at the Skeleton Coliseum, Baal Beast X naturally made preparations.

Preparations for being directly attacked by former followers.

Moreover, the first follower to strike would be the 'old man' who has been fighting in this arena since his mature stage.

Dark Knight Beast.

Although it is only an Ultimate, it can rely on battle intelligence and its unique hybrid talent to compete with Mega‑level beings.

Besides this, it possesses ambition and cunning no less than Barba Beast, will not sincerely serve any king, and when it calls you king in its mouth you must also be wary of its rebellion, just as it was when under Lilith Beast X.

That is why it appears within the forces of Beelzebub Beast X.

Although there is more than one of the Seven Great Demon Kings who do not care about its loyalty, the Gluttony Army (which in reality cannot even be called an army, its base being the Skeleton Coliseum itself) is obviously the simplest and purest, meaning it is the most hassle‑free.

Here no one cares about your past; as long as you can fight, and as long as you can become even better at fighting, you will receive good treatment while continuing to raise your status—all the way up to standing close to the king.

But at this point, Digimon lacking potential and not sufficiently war‑like will begin to feel unhappy.

Because they will be forced to face the king's brutal 'drill'.

Even if they do not actively challenge, the king will first test their strength.

If there is something, it will continue to be summoned; if it is boring……

Their own subordinate Digimon will become restless.

They will be challenged more frequently than before, until they gain the king's approval, or are stripped of status and life by their subordinates.

That life is actually less comfortable than under other demon kings.

But even so, whether it is others (beasts) or themselves, they will only say it is due to insufficient ability.

Having chosen the most extreme interpretation of the 'might makes right' concept, the Gluttony Army, which is the fewest in number, yet lacks the will and potential to continually grow stronger, ultimately results in a fate that was already sealed from the start.

But the Dark Knight Beast is not such a mediocre Digimon.

Its ability to reside as an Ultimate in the top tier of the Skeleton Coliseum stems from its potential far surpassing that of ordinary Digimon.

Virus/Free Species.

The attribute types of Digimon have always been simple.

Virus Species can rewrite the environment they inhabit, like a virus, into one suitable for them to exert their power.

Vaccine Species can restore the environment altered by Virus Species to its original state, thus they are opposed to each other.

Data Species can adapt to any environment, and Variable Species can even change their own attributes according to the environment.

As for the Free Species……

As an attribute predating the three attributes, it is extremely close to the Ancient Species, possessing high autonomy and independence, and can be said to be an origin that once made Baal Beast X especially envious.

But that is only in the past.

Initially, Beelzebub Beast X did not care about the Free Species concept; it only hoped that Dark Knight Beast, with its Virus/Free dual lineage, would display somewhat better strength.

Although it prefers head‑on combat, it does not disdain battle wisdom, and it has always held high hopes for Dark Knight Beast.

Especially in the hope that it could evolve into that once‑world‑shaking Dark Bagra Beast, Beelzebub Beast X is especially eager and permissive.

However……

Even if one encounters such a 'good superior', the Dark Knight Beast's own eagerly sought‑after clan's end remains just as out of reach.

Just as it was once said that the Digital World was not perfect at the beginning, and many Digimon evolution trees have not yet been fully explored, the evolution requirements of Dark Knight Beast are also very stringent.

Stringent to the point that they are all fusion types.

Fusing with Gloom Beast yields Dark Knight Beast (Gloom Beast);

Fusing with Bagra Beast yields Dark Bagra Beast;

Fusing with Strong Beast yields Peerless Knight Beast;

Fusing with Zombie Rex Beast and Skeleton Satan Beast yields Super Dark Knight Beast;

Fusing with Mechanical Rex Beast XW yields Rex Knight Beast;

In short, it focuses on fusion and cannot evolve by its own data alone.

Even as fusion material, it must still bind with something else to reach the Mega level, and in terms of getting stronger it is actually more urgent than its boss.

However, it is useless.

Among the above fusion materials, only Zombie Rex Beast + Skeleton Satan Beast counts as a common monster in the Dark Region.

But choosing a different evolution path, for most wild Digimon that do not cooperate with humans, is like picking a college major after the gaokao—unless you are a slacker, you cannot afford to be careless.

How could this third‑rate aspiration of Super Dark Knight Beast compare to the battlefield destroyer that is Rex Knight Beast or the dark tyrant that is Dark Bagra Beast!

Even Dark Knight Beast (in its Gloom Beast form) is stronger than Super Dark Knight Beast!

Dark Knight Beast has aspirations.

That aspiration has kept it on academic probation for a long time, and during that probation it has sought the whereabouts of every 'fusion material', but unfortunately, whether it is the exceptionally rare Gloom Beast among the Ten Warriors, or the Bagra Beast that is equally amazing in potential and widely known, so it is often pre‑targeted by the surroundings, and both are extremely rare SSRs to appear in the Dark Region.

No matter how much the king permits it to develop its forces and gather intelligence, it still never got the chance to appear.

Ten years.

Twenty years.

Thirty years……

Unlike Baal Beast X, which once cared nothing for time and even less for human culture, Dark Knight Beast has continually absorbed useful concepts from human culture, and naturally will also calculate its lengthy waiting time.

But what use is that?

Sixty‑four years have passed.

Countless times of boring waiting, countless times of falling behind by a step, countless times of the opponent luckily escaping.

When it drew lessons from all failures, it had already cultivated three major elements: 【excellent intelligence network】, 【faster pursuit process】, 【richer encirclement experience】, and waited for news of the target—finally hearing from its subordinates the news of the discovery of one of the targets, the Dark Beast.

Less than two hours later, before it could arrive, it heard news from that side——it was humans pretending!

It laughed angrily.

In what seemed like surging undercurrents, with involution intensity extremely high, actually upon reaching a certain height one would feel this environment too boring, too lifeless—the Hei'an Area—opportunities that could make its mood fluctuate so much were originally few.

But it seemed as if to make up for those years of boring accumulation, these days the Hei'an Area has been nothing but major events.

First, the Lilith Beast. X died, the Lustful Army rebelled, and the new king contenders fiercely competed.

Then, its new king disappeared again; this disappearance wasn't a big deal, as the previous king also liked to disappear, the Beelzebub Beast always went solo, disliked being followed, and the Hei'an Knight Beast didn't care much either; after two days, its super-efficient intelligence network brought news of the 'disaster'.

The Mark of Gluttony on the Gate of Great Sin lit up.

It laughed!

How was it killed while alone?

Should one say it's no surprise it's a king who rose by picking up scraps? The Hei'an Knight Beast inherently had no loyalty or respect for it. After all, that opponent's fledgling abilities were solely suppressing it via the Authority of Gluttony; otherwise, it could have dealt a heavy blow in Perfect Form posture.

These past few days, it had also been pondering whether to try to seize the throne, to overthrow those equally restless Beelzebub Beasts, and forcibly, using the Free Species' talent, seize the Authority of Gluttony——

——That familiar data appeared!

Even if it were no longer so arrogant, no longer so sharp and aggressive, that data could not be faked!

The Hei'an Knight Beast boasted of being both wise and brave, not only constantly studying human knowledge, but as a knight also secretly learning programming-decoding, and regarding the 'breath' as understood by ordinary Digimon, it had a scientific system, not such a source-energy fantasy comprehension.

So it was confident it would not mistake.

And thus, its heart once again surged with that tangled emotion.

It could detect a trace of 'Great Sin' in that data.

It also became clear that the new king who had disappeared and died was slain by this person before them, or perhaps returned?

No matter how one words it, it only felt that if these days' rising winds and clouds were a whole strategy, then it could only applaud and call it splendid.

It could only pay respect to the king's great change from past patterns, beginning to turn into a plot of sinister and deceitful demeanor—while inwardly cursing loudly!

Damn it!

How come this byd is back again!
