Chapter 135: Fierce Battle (Third Update, Subscriptions Requested)
Everything about the Di Organization was shrouded in mystery to Zhao Jie. His first contact with them was that Darkmon in the Wuling City secret realm, followed by Zhou Jie, whom he encountered at the experimental base.
And now, the person standing before him was the second member of the Di Organization Zhao Jie had ever come into contact with. Apart from his pale complexion, his most notable trait was his ability to command numerous Digimon.
"What is the Di Organization?"
Hearing the exchange between Zhao Jie and the pale-faced man, Wengong and the others asked with a mix of curiosity and caution.
In their understanding, no such faction existed. Moreover, judging by Zhao Jie's current demeanor, he seemed quite familiar with this so-called Di Organization.
"I'm not entirely sure myself, but seeing this now, the riot in this secret realm is undoubtedly the work of the Di Organization!"
Zhao Jie gently shook his head. His own knowledge of the Di Organization was patchy at best; he only knew it as a faction that continually instigated wars between humans and Digimon.
"What?!"
Upon hearing Zhao Jie's words, the expressions of Wengong and the others shifted slightly. They exchanged glances, each seeing a trace of unease in the other's eyes.
The riot in this secret realm had actually been orchestrated by this obscure organization. To be capable of inciting chaos in an ultra-large-scale secret realm meant the strength of this organization was likely extraordinary.
"Heh!"
"A riot? Such a glaringly ignorant word. You understand nothing at all—how pathetic."
The pale-faced man sneered indifferently.
Up in the sky, the Parrotmon were suffering continuous casualties under the joint assault of several Digimon. Only a Metalmamemon possessed impressive strength; even after Digivolving into a BlackMetalGreymon, the dinosaur Digimon had only managed to fight it to a standstill.
"Interesting!"
The pale-faced man cast his gaze toward the BlackMetalGreymon, sensing a homologous source of power emanating from it.
Now, he was starting to believe that Zhao Jie, who had just spoken, really had crossed paths with members of the Di Organization before.
"Metalmamemon, Dark Mode!"
A calm command issued from his lips. In the next instant, Zhao Jie and the others watched as the aura of the Metalmamemon underwent a drastic transformation, its entire body covered in eerie black patterns.
"Clang!"
A metallic reverberation rang out from the Metalmamemon as it unleashed its signature move, the Spiral Sword, transforming it into a ten-meter-long blade of pure energy.
Instead of launching its first attack against the BlackMetalGreymon, it locked its sights on the WereGarurumon lingering nearby.
The lightning-fast sword light could cleave jade and sever stone, instantly expanding within the pupils of the WereGarurumon.
"Danger!"
Wang Liang's anxious shout rang out, but it was already too late.
In the flash of a second it took for him to cry out, the WereGarurumon had already been struck by the blade.
Slash!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the two arms the WereGarurumon had raised to block the strike vanished entirely.
Its entire body crashed limply to the ground. Reeling from the brutal feedback of the attack, Wang Liang let out a gasp and vomited a large mouthful of fresh blood.
The battle continued.
Having successfully forced the WereGarurumon out of the fight, the Metalmamemon flickered once more, vanishing and reappearing beside the BlackMetalGreymon, slashing downward with its sword.
Rip!
The longsword tore through the air, its brilliant radiance flashing like a blinding strobe as it arrived at the BlackMetalGreymon's side in an instant.
"Danger!"
Without needing Zhao Jie's warning, the BlackMetalGreymon was acutely aware of the razor-sharp edge of this attack, especially with the WereGarurumon's cautionary example fresh in its mind.
Yet, trying to evade it now was simply too late.
Dark Giga Destroyer!
Energy poured forth!
Swish!
Missile after missile, condensed from digital energy, surged out from the hatch on its chest one after another. Fierce explosions erupted in a continuous chain right beside the BlackMetalGreymon's ears.
Using the sheer destructive force of the Dark Giga Destroyer to forcefully interrupt the opponent's strike was the best strategy the BlackMetalGreymon could devise.
And it had the capital to execute it; the dense, turbulent dark digital energy surging within its body could sustain this relentless barrage until victory was secured.
"Rumble..."
Everyone's gazes were captivated by this direct clash between the Metalmamemon and the BlackMetalGreymon.
"Hah, futile efforts!"
The pale-faced man scoffed coldly. He knew all too well what kind of strength the Metalmamemon possessed; he refused to believe it would lose to that MetalGreymon.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Then, the smile on his face gradually froze, bit by bit.
For the BlackMetalGreymon's DarkGiga Destroyer had seized the upper hand in this head-on collision.
Under the astounded gazes of the onlookers, the energy of the Spiral Sword was steadily obliterated by the barrage of missiles, until the dense swarm of projectiles finally slammed into the Metalmamemon's body.
"Boom—!"
As the smoke cleared, a massive crater lay exposed before everyone. Inside the crater, the Metalmamemon had been blown to pieces, its body dissolving into digital data particles that continuously disintegrated into nothingness.
"H-How is this possible?"
The mocking smile had yet to fully fade from the pale-faced man's face before it froze completely.
The Metalmamemon's Dark Mode had actually been shattered just like that by the MetalGreymon?
This was the Metalmamemon in which he had placed such high hopes!
Was the Metalmamemon simply too weak, or was that MetalGreymon just too strong?
For a moment, a wave of bewilderment washed over him.
"Capture him!"
Zhao Jie's voice rang out once more. Zhou Jie had been a corpse, but if they could capture a living member of the Di Organization this time, it would be a monumental achievement.
Swish!
The BlackMetalGreymon flashed across the sky, hurtling swiftly toward the pale-faced man.
At the same time, Angewomon locked her gaze upon him as well.
Her Holy Arrow transformed into a streak of golden lightning, piercing through the air.
"Hah..."
Seeing this, the pale-faced man's expression shifted slightly. Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Jie and the others, a dark portal ripped open directly behind his back.
"I will be back!"
With those words spoken, his entire figure was swallowed and engulfed by the dark gateway.
Bang!
The BlackMetalGreymon's massive foreleg smashed the dark portal to pieces, but the man had already vanished without a trace.
"Swish!"
Fu Yue, accompanied by Medusamon, brought back the WereGarurumon, who had already reverted back into Gabumon.
The Gabumon was currently unconscious and in critical condition; without immediate and effective medical treatment, its life might very well be in jeopardy.
"What a pity. We let him get away!"
Watching the Di Organization member being whisked away by the dark portal, Zhao Jie shook his head with a trace of regret.
"Never mind him. We need to leave immediately. If the enemy truly possesses the tightly knit organization you described, they won't let this rest."
As the Di Organization member retreated, the remaining Parrotmon scattered in all directions.
Wengong helped Wang Liang to his feet, casting a solemn gaze at Zhao Jie as he spoke.
