Takuya Kanbara has decided to stop being human.

In terms of power, Vulcan has an absolute advantage.

However, combat is not merely a clash of strength; it also requires consideration of many subjective and objective factors.

For example, Bio-Thunderbirdmon can fly, while Vulcanmon cannot.

Therefore, even though the Bio-Thunderbird Beast is weaker, it is already invincible due to its advantage in the sky.

"If you can't fly, then you'll forever crawl at my feet!"

The bio-engineered Thunderbird laughed wildly, riding the lightning to bombard the Fire God Beast. Fortunately, the Fire God Beast was agile, spinning, leaping, and somersaulting to dodge the attacks time and time again.

It wasn't that he was faster than lightning, but that he anticipated the direction of lightning's attack and prepared to dodge before the bio-thunderbird attacked.

“My energy-radiating attacks are lacking,” Vulcan pondered.

His Fire Dragon Flame Fist can release two fireballs, but the effective range of the two fireballs is less than ten meters, so when he stands on the ground, he can't hit the bio-thunderbird beast in the sky at all.

Because the bio-engineered Thunderbird is more than 50 meters above the ground.

If you add in Vulcan's own jumping ability, it might be able to barely reach Bio-Thunderbirdmon.

While dodging the lightning, Vulcan surveyed the surrounding terrain.

This is a stretch of coastal highway, in the middle of nowhere, with a cliff right next to it. If you jump off, you'll be in the sea. Because it's by the sea, the sea breeze is very strong.

The wind fuels the fire, and when the wind is favorable, the Fire God Beast's attacks will be enhanced.

"Takuya, let me help you."

The puppy's voice echoed in Vulcan's mind.

"Evolve into Angewomon?"

Although Angewomon is an Ultimate-level Digimon and not a combat-type Digimon, it should be able to handle a mere Bio-Thunderbirdmon without much trouble.

The puppy beast said, "No, I've only evolved to the Champion stage, and this requires your DigiSoul's help."

You need a digital soul to evolve to maturity, so why did you regress in the first place?

Because it reduces energy consumption.

After discussing their plan, Vulcanmon and Puppymon headed towards the sea.

"Trying to escape? Don't even dream about it!"

Bio-Thunderbirdmon thought that Firegomon was trying to escape by water, and it was not going to let him succeed. So it flapped its wings and chased after him.

Unexpectedly, the Fire God Beast suddenly turned around and leaped high into the air.

Using its own jumping ability, Vulcanmon leaped more than 30 meters into the air. At the same time, a four-winged angel with the body of a girl appeared behind him—Jeannemon!

This is the mature stage of a puppy.

Similarly, if it evolves in the direction of Light-type Digimon, Puppymon can also evolve into Holy Beast-type Gatomon, but according to the Holy Beast evolution route, its ultimate form will most likely become HolyDramon.

Tailmon (Holy Beast) → HolyDragonmon (Holy Beast)

This is a normal evolutionary path, although there was an anomaly, Angewomon, in the middle.

Tailmon (Holy Beast) → Angewomon (Angel)

This evolutionary path, like Guilmon (a reptile) evolving into Gallantmon (a paladin), is theoretically impossible.

Guilmon's normal evolution should be Apocalymon (?ω?).

Because of the intervention of Matsuda Takato, who controlled the demonic heart with good intentions, it became the Holy Knight type Crimson Knightmon.

In general, Jeanne d'Arc (angel) → Ophanimon (angel) is the more normal evolutionary path.

Getting back to the main point, Jeanne d'Arc appeared behind Vulcan, leaned back, landed at Vulcan's feet, and kicked off with the force of a thunderous kick, striking the soles of Vulcan's feet.

Fire dragon soars into the sky!

Using the power provided by Jeannemon, Vulcan successfully jumped onto the head of Bio-Thunderbirdmon, grabbed Bio-Thunderbirdmon's helmet with one hand, and activated Soulfire with the other.

Fire Dragon attacks Thunder Bird!

Just as Wu Song fought the tiger back then, the Fire God Beast will fight the bird today.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each punch came harder than the last, landing squarely on the skin.

The bio-engineered Thunderbird was beaten so badly that its eyes rolled back and it foamed at the mouth.

I, the Vulcan Beast, am going to beat you to death today!

The Vulcan's eyes gleamed coldly as it straddled the neck of the Bio-Thunderbird, its fists raised high above its head, crimson soul flames swirling around them.

"Drink——!"

Just as he was about to deliver the final blow, a white shadow flew in from the horizon and knocked him into the air. He adjusted his body in mid-air and looked back, only to find that the white shadow was a giant white serpent with wings.

Feathered Serpent Beast!

Evolved from the power of the Digi-Armor, this Armored Mythical Digimon is a white snake with wings, and is the embodiment of the sun and wind.

However, this feathered serpent beast, like the bio-thunderbird beast, had a tube inserted into the back of its head.

Bio-Feathered Serpent Beast, Armored Body, Ultimate Level.

At the same time, a Digimon resembling a Stegosaurus slowly emerged from the ground.

Stegosaurus!

Evolved from the power of the Digi-Armor of Friendship, this Armored Stegosaurus Digimon has countless blades on its back, allowing it to defend against enemy attacks while counterattacking. It can also move in any direction it desires, guided by its own will.

There is also a tube behind the Stegosaurus's head.

Bio-Stegosaurus, Armored, Ultimate Level.

Jeanne d'Arc just in time grabbed Vulcan's arm and dragged it into the air.

Can't fly?

It's okay, I'll be your wings.

Then, Jeannemon looked at the enemy, a hint of seriousness appearing in her blue eyes: "Three... Bio-Digimon."

Vulcanmon asked in confusion, "A bio-Digimon?"

Jeannemon explained, "Simply put, they are artificial Digimon created by Kurata. He decomposed Digimon and integrated them into human genes to create these bio-engineered Digimon."

Clearly, she hacked into the database at the Kurata base.

Just like yesterday when she hacked into DATS's database, she gained access to Kurata's life's work.

From both a human and technological perspective, putting aside his character, Kurata was a talented individual.

Unfortunately, this person has problematic thinking.

He was like someone who had been startled by a tiger in the wild and then resolved to exterminate all wild animals; his obsession reached a pathological level, and he was only one step away from becoming a psychopath.

Looking at all six Digimon TV series, only the third and fifth series feature a significant amount of screen time for adults in the human world. The fifth series, in particular, uses the character Kurata to reveal the dark side of humanity.

But it was only a superficial attempt, probably because the ratings weren't good.

After all, for a children's program to do this kind of dark and brutal stuff is just asking for trouble. Take Nexus, for example, it flopped terribly.

If it were today, even a silly anime could become a huge hit.

With a slight optimization of Kurata's character design, adding some personal charm, some exaggerated facial expressions or inhuman poses, and some depth to the script, this would be a great anime about an alien invasion and the various choices humans make when facing alien creatures.

……

Kurata heard Jeanne d'Arc's words through the listening device, and his brows furrowed: "How does this Digimon know so much?"

Although it was merely the principle behind bio-Digimon, the bio-Digimon technology was absolutely his secret. He had never revealed it to anyone, and it was even more impossible for such an unknown Digimon to know about it.

There must be something fishy about this matter!

Is it...

Kurata seemed to realize something—his database had been hacked.

Thinking of this, Kurata gasped.

If Jeanne d'Arcmon really does hack into his database, then bio-Digimon technology will no longer be the focus; the secrets of Gizmon and even Belphemon will be exposed.

Kurata's eyes blazed with murderous intent as he ordered the Digimon Hunters, "Kill them!"

Chapter Nineteen, Crimes Against Humanity

The bio-engineered Thunderbird shook its head, gradually regaining its senses. Upon hearing Kurata's command, its eyes grew increasingly cold.

He originally only wanted to teach them a lesson and didn't intend to kill them, but he felt extremely aggrieved after they were thoroughly beaten by the Fire God Beast. Now that he had received Kurata's order, he no longer needed to hold back.

"How dare you knock me unconscious! I'll show you what hell feels like!"

The bio-engineered Thunderbird Beast's eyes revealed a cruel glint. With a flap of its wings, golden lightning crackled around them. Then, it slammed its massive wings together, unleashing an electrified tornado.

"Lightning Storm!"

The bio-feathered serpent beast spun its body around the enemy like a vortex, emitting light.

"Wave of Stiffness!"

The bio-stegosaurus on the ground had its back blades raised, and it launched itself out like a missile.

"Shellfire rain!"

Three ultimate attacks were launched from three directions at Vulcanmon and Jeanne d'Arcmon.

"Throw me out."

The Fire Beast pointed ahead and said to Jeanne d'Arc.

Jeanne d'Arc, unsuspecting, threw Vulcan forward. Vulcan unleashed countless flames, which swirled and formed a fiery tornado that rose from the ground.

"Fire Dragon Tornado!"

The fire tornado collided with the lightning storm with the force to destroy the parking lot, and then withstood the stiff wave of the Mythical Feathered Serpent Beast and the shell needle of the Bio-Steerosaur Beast.

Bang!

With a deafening roar, the Fire God Beast was sent flying backward.

Fortunately, as the Fire God Beast was sent flying backward, those three ultimate moves were also neutralized.

Jeanne d'Arc rushed forward to catch Vulcan, but was thrown a great distance by the aftershock before finally coming to a stop.

"Fire God Beast, are you alright?"

"fine."

The Fire God Beast was calm and unharmed.

Although it lacks the tank attribute, for a monster like Firegomon that can withstand a single attack from Lucemon, taking the ultimate attacks of three Ultimate-level Digimon is a piece of cake.

However, he is currently in the aerial battlefield, and his only leverage point is Jeanne d'Arc, so he cannot use many of his methods.

As for landing...

He didn't think the other party would give him a chance to land.

The bio-engineered sword dragon on the ground had sharp eyes, like a venomous snake in the dark, waiting for its chance to strike, precisely to prevent the fire god beast from landing.

In the sky, Bio-Feathered Serpent Beast and Bio-Thunderbird Beast were positioned on the left and right sides, and if Vulcan Beast or Jeanne d'Arc Beast made any unusual movements, they would immediately launch a second wave of attacks.

The bio-engineered Thunderbird taunted, "You're really trying hard. It must have been tough for you to withstand our ultimate attack, but we can launch the same attack again at any time!"

The Fire Beast looked like it had just realized something: "That breeze-like attack, so that's your special move? How weak."

The bio-engineered Thunderbird roared in fury: "I'm going to kill you like a mouse!"

After speaking, he flapped his wings and unleashed a barrage of electrified feathers. Each feather was as powerful as a sniper bullet. Even a Vulcan would be injured if it wasn't careful when faced with such a dense hail of bullets.

Moreover, there was a Joan of Arc beast behind him, which had very little armor; its thighs, waist, chest, and upper arms were all bare.

Dangerous!Dangerous!Dangerous!

"Spiral attack!"

In the blink of an eye, a tornado rose from the ground, blowing away the electrified feathers.

It turned out that Thomas and his partner, Gaogamon (Adult stage), arrived just in time and found that the tornado was actually spat out by Gaogamon.
