Chapter 137: The Celestial Beast's Radiant Form (Seeking Subscriptions at Dawn)

"Captain, don't look so depressed!"

Zhao Jie patted Wengong's shoulder, speaking in a soft voice as he looked at the latter's despair-laden expression.

His eyes then shifted to the gigantic Human-Faced Spider Beast.

"Admitting defeat without a fight is simply not my style!"

A calm utterance left Zhao Jie's lips. Hearing his words, Wengong's body trembled slightly. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Jie with a serious gaze.

"That Human-Faced Spider has already reached the Overlord rank. Even if it is the weakest complete-stage Overlord-rank Digimon, there is no way we can be its match. Listen to me, let's run for our lives right now!"

Once Digimon reached the Complete stage, their powers were categorized into several distinct tiers based on strength:

Common, Overlord, Apex, and Sovereign.

Although all were in the Complete stage, the gap between each tier was immense. The Human-Faced Spider Beast before them had already stepped into the Overlord-rank combat power, more than enough to dominate a region.

"If we join forces, we might just have a fighting chance!"

Zhao Jie looked intently at Wengong before him, his expression exceptionally solemn.

"That's right! Captain, my Medusamon possesses the Petrification Gaze. What does it matter if it's an Overlord-rank Digimon? Just as Jie said, if we combine our forces, we certainly have a fighting chance!"

Fu Yue also chimed in earnestly.

Even if they chose to flee, her chances of survival were slim. They might as well fight to the death right here—who knows, they might just carve out a sliver of hope!

"You... you guys!"

Wengong wanted to say more, but in the end, he only let out a sigh and ceased his attempts to persuade them.

"Then let's fight to the death with this Overlord-rank Human-Faced Spider Beast!"

"Mammothmon, Tundra Breath!"

Swish!

A bone-chilling torrent blasted forth from Mammothmon's maw, freezing a thick layer of frost across the ground. Along with the ground, the numerous Spidermon controlled by the Human-Faced Spider Beast were frozen solid as well.

"Medusamon, Petrification Gaze!"

Fu Yue also commanded her Medusamon to unleash its signature technique, Petrification Gaze. One by one, the crawling Spidermon froze and turned into stone.

"Tailmon, Super Evolution—Angewomon!"

"Agumon, Super Evolution—MetalGreymon!"

Seeing this, Zhao Jie did not hesitate to command Agumon and Tailmon to undergo Super Evolution.

"Heaven's Charm!"

Having transformed, Angewomon also recognized the gravity of the situation and stopped reciting the lines she had copied from elsewhere.

Divine power surged from her body, transforming into a brilliant beam of holy light that swept across the hordes of Spidermon.

The Spidermon struck by this holy beam instantly disintegrated into digital particles, vanishing on the spot.

Within just a few breaths, the dense swarm of Spidermon was completely wiped out.

"Their attacks are decent enough, but let them continue. Let's drain their stamina dry!"

Ling Liu sneered softly and gently stomped his foot. The human face on the abdomen of the Human-Faced Spider beneath him parted slightly, spitting out a massive quantity of spider eggs.

Pop! Pop!

Spider after spider hatched from the eggs, resuming the attack against Zhao Jie and the others!

Witnessing this, Zhao Jie finally understood how these Spidermon had multiplied in such numbers; they were being continuously produced by this Human-Faced Spider Beast.

"Attacking these Spidermon only drains our energy. MetalGreymon, attack that Human-Faced Spider Beast directly!"

"Roar!"

MetalGreymon nodded. The Giga Destroyer launched from the hatch on its chest, streaking straight toward the Human-Faced Spider Beast.

"Bang!"

The eight pairs of compound eyes on the Human-Faced Spider rolled slightly. It raised a single spider leg as dark, ink-like digital energy surged, effortlessly blocking MetalGreymon's attack.

"Screech!"

The Human-Faced Spider Beast moved. Although MetalGreymon's previous strike had failed to harm it, it had successfully provoked its fury.

The human face on its abdomen broke into a smile, while dark purple light beams simultaneously shot forth from the eight pairs of compound eyes on its head. This was its ultimate technique: Purple Extreme Demonic Light.

Rumble...

The eight purple light beams merged into one, forming a much thicker beam of purplish light.

Wherever the beam passed, space itself was stained with a layer of purple.

"Not good!"

Seeing this attack, Wengong's expression shifted drastically. If this attack were to hit them directly, annihilation would follow in an instant.

"Angewomon!"

Zhao Jie looked up at Angewomon in the air as digital energy from between his eyebrows continuously poured into her.

It was Digital Fusion!

Swish!

Angewomon watched with a grave expression as the purple beam hurtled toward them. As a powerful Digimon, she understood the destructive power of this purple beam far better than Zhao Jie and the others.

Her pristine eight wings fluttered incessantly behind her.

"Please, lend me your strength! Holy Ring!"

Angewomon grabbed the ribbon wrapped around her body, formed from the Holy Ring, and chanted silently in her heart.

Angewomon knew that what Zhao Jie had said back then was actually not wrong.

Although the Holy Ring had not left her, she had only ever been able to utilize a very small fraction of the light power contained within it.

This situation had only improved after she consumed that Light Fruit.

Yet, even in her Angel form, she still could not wield the full light power of the Holy Ring.

At this moment, facing that beam of pure destruction,

*I want to protect everyone! Please, Holy Ring!*

Clutching the ribbon transformed from the Holy Ring, Angewomon faced the oncoming beam of light without a single trace of retreat in her heart.

Hum...

Finally, Angewomon felt the power of the Holy Ring surging!

*So, I had lost my heart of protection all along!*

Murmuring softly to herself, Angewomon released the ribbon formed by the Holy Ring, her eyes—as brilliant as a starry sea—gazing up at the gray, overcast sky.

"Come!"

A soft cry left her lips!

In an instant, the world blazed with light!

A radiant sun pierced through the dreary clouds, and strands of golden brilliance fell upon Angewomon's body.

Swish!

The power of light surged, and the sacred radiance burned brilliantly!

Her pristine eight wings transformed into a dazzling golden hue, the helmet upon her head vanished, and her ethereal, celestial visage was fully bared to the air.

Behind her, a halo of light bloomed in brilliance, making her entire being resemble a magnificent sun, radiating a sacred light capable of piercing through all surrounding darkness.

She was still Angewomon, yet she was no longer merely Angewomon.

At this moment, she had attained power sufficient to easily defeat the Human-Faced Spider Beast before her!

Having comprehended her inner self, the angel fused with the light power of the Holy Ring, breaking through her own limits to attain an even greater power!

This form could be called: Angewomon Radiant Form!
