Chapter 21 Climbing the Infinite Mountain
Chapter 21 Climbing the Infinite Mountain
Fang Xiu's appearance completely caught Devimon off guard and disrupted all of Devimon's plans.
Devimon's original plan was to use the Black Gear to control all the Champion-level and above Digimon on the island, and then control Falui Island to move towards the other side of the sea, using these Digimon as a base to occupy a place on the Sabba Continent on the other side.
Devimon has his own ambitions. He is not content with just being a Champion or even a Perfect level. He wants to become an Ultimate level like the Dark Masters.
The Digimon that were already under control could come looking for trouble at any time. Now that there was no other way, Devimon had to use his last trump card - the Dark Gear.
The Dark Gear has different effects depending on how it is used. In addition to controlling other Digimon, the Dark Gear is also a huge data entity that can increase the data volume of Digimon, causing their power to increase dramatically.
Furthermore, the Dark Gears can be stacked, allowing Devimon to boost its combat power to a level even stronger than a normal Ultimate-level Digimon.
However, Devimon does not want to use this ultimate move unless absolutely necessary. After all, Devimon spreads the Dark Gears to cultivate more Dark Gears, plunging the entire Louisville Island into darkness, thereby accumulating more power in order to achieve instant success.
But now the plan has been completely disrupted, and the enemy is not the chosen child as prophesied, but an unknown enemy. Devimon is furious, but the matter is already settled, and his anger is of no use.
Fang Xiu had already arrived at the foot of Infinite Mountain and started climbing. On the way, he encountered a controlled lion beast. Since he was already there, Fang Xiu gave the lion beast a ride, helped it remove the gears for free, and quickly went down the mountain (meaning he threw the lion beast down the mountain).
The closer Fang Xiu got to the summit, the more excited he became. His fighting spirit surged like a tide. Of all the battles he had experienced before, only the battle with Andromon was somewhat satisfying; the other battles had been too easy.
On one hand, those Digimon were no match for Fang Xiu, and on the other hand, they were controlled by the Dark Gear. Once the Dark Gear broke free, Fang Xiu would stop.
This attack was like scratching an itch through a boot; it not only failed to achieve its purpose but also fueled the fire in Fang Xiu's heart to burn even brighter.
Fang Xiu, in his Tyrannomon form, rampaged across Mount Infinity with unstoppable force, making no attempt to conceal his arrival from Devimon!
Faced with the menacing Fang Xiu, the demon naturally had no intention of backing down. A huge number of black gears flew in from afar and all converged on the towering summit of Infinite Mountain.
This was Devimon's trump card, absorbing all the Dark Gears at once. A huge roar came from the top of Mount Infinity. Fang Xiu looked up at the towering summit of Mount Infinity and saw a huge demon wing with a wingspan of over a hundred meters spread out from the top of the mountain under the dim sky.
After its wings were spread, the terrifyingly huge body of the demon beast was revealed from behind the mountain. A rough estimate showed that it was at least tens of meters tall, which was frighteningly tall.
Fang Xiu had always been the one to overpower others with his size, and this was the first time he had been overpowered by someone else in terms of size. But he was not afraid at all and charged towards the gigantic demon beast.
Devimon chose to directly absorb the Dark Gear not only because of Fang Xiu, a threat of unknown strength, but also because the Champion-level Digimon he had once controlled had come to him, including even the Ultimate-level Digimon Andromon and Bearmon.
Even if Devimon is confident, he doesn't have the assurance of escaping unscathed from a combination of Champion and Ultimate level Digimon. Rather than waiting to be ganged up on, he might as well take a gamble and turn the tables!
Fang Xiu knew, of course, that the other Digimon had also arrived. That was precisely why he wanted to act first. Defeating Devimon by himself was definitely more enjoyable than defeating it with others. Let him enjoy the experience all to himself!
"Death Claw!"
The gigantic demon beast flew down from the mountaintop to the ground, and with a backhand strike of Death Claw, the black energy surge directly pressed Fang Xiu deep into the ground, leaving only a bottomless crater in its wake.
"A mere Tyrannosaurus Rex—"
The gigantic Devimon completely disregarded Fang Xiu. In his view, this was enough to finish off the Greymon. His real opponents were Andromon and the others.
Just as Devimon was about to fly down the mountain, a super flame shot out from the deep pit and hit Devimon squarely in the face. The powerful flame attack caused it to lose its balance instantly and fall backward.
"What?!"
In the enormous pit, Fang Xiu stepped out step by step to the astonishment of the Devimon. The Devimon, whose strength had greatly increased after its enlargement, successfully left a huge claw mark on Fang Xiu's body, almost spanning most of Fang Xiu's body.
The huge wound caused a stinging pain. This was Fang Xiu's first injury since arriving on Faluyi Island, and in this respect alone, Devimon surpassed all the other Digimon on the island.
But that's all. The injury looks terrifying, but for Fang Xiu, who has thick skin and tough flesh, it's at most a minor injury, far from a serious one.
Roar--!
"Again, Devimon!"
The digital core inside his body simultaneously output massive amounts of data, and Fang Xiu's body surface seemed to ignite with a layer of illusory flames, which was a stream of data so pure that it was visible.
Hit in the face by a super flame, the demon beast felt excruciating pain on half of its face. At that moment, all it wanted was to tear Fang Xiu apart, and unfortunately, Fang Xiu had the same thought.
Two figures, several times larger than each other, clashed violently, stirring up waves of air—a primal struggle.
It was clear that Devimon had an absolute advantage in size, but at this moment Devimon only felt a tremendous force coming from Fang Xiu's perspective, and it even had the tendency to push him back.
How is that possible?!
Devimon was incredulous. He had absorbed so many Dark Gears, yet he was still no match for a mere Greymon in terms of power.
Between Digimon, the amount of data is an important factor in measuring each other's strength, but it is not the only determining factor.
In terms of sheer volume of data, Devimon, having absorbed a massive amount of Dark Gears, is indeed very strong, even surpassing its Ultimate form.
However, there are also differences between different data sets; the gap between junk data and top-tier data is astonishingly large.
The data provided by the Dark Gear within the Demon Beast wasn't exactly garbage data, but the data stream on Fang Xiu's body was top-tier.
The magical power of the gray fog space caused Fang Xiu to completely defy the normal growth pattern of Digimon, giving him unprecedented potential.
The intense flames illuminated the dim sky as an unprecedented explosion occurred on Mount Infinite.
So when Andromon and the others reached Mount Infinity, the giant Devimon was nowhere to be seen. All that remained was a huge crater and Fang Xiu, who was covered in wounds but had a satisfied look in his eyes.
