Takuya Kanbara has decided to stop being human.

Page 81

Takuya Kanbara flashed and landed instantly beside the altar. The Garurumon were startled and quickly turned to stare at him, baring their teeth and looking wary.

"Unidentified humanoid Digimon, get out of here!" the alpha wolf warned.

Takuya Kanbara said, "I'm looking for AncientGarurumon."

"presumptuous!"

The alpha wolf, its face contorted with rage, howled to the sky. This time, its voice was much louder and carried further. Upon hearing this, hundreds and thousands of Digimon, including Garurumon, BlackGarurumon, and Grurumon, from various areas of the Silver Wolf Forest rushed toward the altar and soon arrived around it.

The pack of wolves surrounded the altar in layers, their sharp eyes fixed on the intruders above, emitting low growls that symbolized a threat.

Woo——!

Chapter 119, The Era of Adults Has Changed

A colossal figure slowly rose from the altar, clad in a white, punk-steam-style armor with patterns resembling Garurumon's fur, wielding two large golden swords—it was none other than AncientGarurumon.

The Garurumon, BlackGarurumon, and Groudon around them all bowed their heads as if they were seeing a king.

Although this AncientGarurumon stands upright on two legs, it is a genuine Ancient Beast.

"May I ask what brings you to see me?"

The nearly ten-meter-tall Ancient Garurumon inquired.

"I am here for your power."

Takuya Kambara put the puppy on the ground. A conflict might break out soon, and he probably wouldn't have time to take care of the puppy. Putting it on the ground was safer than keeping it in his arms.

"my power?"

AncientGarurumon murmured, and before he could say anything more, the wolf pack let out a series of low growls.

Because Takuya Kanbara's words were like saying to a billionaire, "I want your wealth." Power is the foundation of survival in this digital world, so how could it be given away so easily?

AncientGarurumon waved its hand to quiet the wolf pack and said, "I am a Digimon with the power of light. Everyone's power becomes a different light in my eyes. The light on you is sacred and powerful. You don't seem like someone who would do anything to pursue power. What do you want my power for?"

Kanbara Takuya thought AncientGarurumon was quite rational, and perhaps it made sense, so he said, "I came to follow the will of the ancient Sagemon in order to collect the power of the oldest Ultimate level and create the Fighter Spirit."

"Ancient Sage Beast?"

The little dog looked at Takuya Kambara in surprise.

"It turned out to be him."

As one of the oldest Ultimate-level Digimon, AncientGarurumon was not familiar with AncientWisdommon, but it was not unfamiliar either. They had met a few times in ancient times and were considered nodding acquaintances.

At the same time, he also knew that the ancient Sage Beast was a famous wise man, and legend had it that obtaining it could bring peace to the world.

The current Digital Emperor, Huanglongmon, once sent people to search for AncientSagemon, but failed to summon him. Since then, he has scorned AncientSagemon's abilities.

According to the ancient Sagemon's setting, it must be invited three times to be summoned, otherwise it would be unworthy of the "Kongming" inscription on its chest. Unfortunately, neither Huanglongmon nor the future Luminmon could achieve this.

"And what is this fighting spirit?"

AncientGarurumon asked curiously.

Takuya Kambara said, "It's similar to digital armor."

The explanation was simple and clear, and AncientGarurumon immediately understood the role of the Fighter Spirit. After thinking it over, he raised his hand to his chest and took out a ball of light from it.

"This is the culmination of my millennia of power, is it enough?"

"enough."

These words weren't spoken by Takuya Kanbara, but rather by the white Armored Digivice.

"Ancient Sage Beast?"

It turns out that the purpose of this Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex is not only to help Takuya Kanbara use the Armor of Destiny, but also to transmit the power of the Ten Ancient Warriors.

The ancient sage beast said, "It seems you also sense the fact that the times are about to change."

AncientGarurumon nodded: "The light in the world is becoming increasingly chaotic, showing a tendency to turn into chaos, just like the omens when Huanglongmon was born. I think that in the near future, the era will change drastically. The so-called warrior spirit is the tool you prepared for the next era, isn't it?"

The ancient sages smiled without speaking, actually for the sake of the next era.

The power of light flew into the Armored Digivice and was transmitted to AncientSagemon.

AncientGarurumon's thoughts drifted far away, but upon regaining their senses, they said to Takuya Kanbara, "Gathering the power of the other eight Digimon won't be easy..."

Although he could tell that Takuya Kanbara was quite strong, it wouldn't be easy to connect with the remaining eight ancient Ultimate beings, as not all Ultimate beings could foresee future changes.

"I'll go with you."

As soon as the ancient Garurumon finished speaking, the pack of wolves erupted in uproar.

"Lord Ancient Garurumon, you have lost a thousand years of power..." the alpha wolf advised.

AncientGarurumon waved its hand and said, "That little bit of power will recover in a while and is nothing to worry about. My mind is made up. You all need to take care of yourselves and wait for me to come back."

Seeing that the adult was determined to do so, the alpha wolf had no choice but to nod.

"Is it not going to bother you?"

"No, it would be an honor."

With more people involved, there's more effort, so Takuya Kanbara naturally wouldn't refuse.

However, the arrival of AncientGarurumon changed Takuya Kanbara's original plans. Since AncientGarurumon and AncientGreymon had a good relationship, he decided to go to Mount Dragon to find AncientGreymon first.

The two met and exchanged pleasantries.

After spending a few minutes reminiscing about their youthful days, AncientGreymon obediently surrendered its millennia-old power.

Kanbara Takuya saw that AncientGreymon had a fiery temper, was carefree, and had a tiger-like appearance. If it weren't for AncientGarurumon, he probably would have fought with him. In this light, it seems that the decision to bring AncientGarurumon along was very correct.

Although AncientGreymon was not as calm as AncientGarurumon, it still had the world in its heart. Hearing that creating the Fighter Spirit would benefit the next era, it decided to go and find the other oldest Ultimate Digimon.

……

Ordinary Digimon can only evolve to the Ultimate level at most. If it is an Ancient Digimon, the difficulty of evolution is extremely high, and even reaching the Adult level is very difficult. That's why people developed Digi-Armor.

The ultimate form of ancient species is especially rare, and can be said to be one in ten thousand.

Especially for established Digimon like AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon, whose appearance is legendary, their appearance is sure to cause a sensation around the world.

Huanglongmon is a tyrant, not a tyrant. After learning that AncientGarurumon had left the Wolf Forest and AncientGreymon had left the Dragon Volcano, he wondered, "Could it be that AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon are planning a rebellion?"

But then I thought, what are AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon compared to that?

They might not even be able to get past his four sacred beasts, let alone appear in front of him.

With this in mind, the Yellow Dragon Beast felt much more at ease. It arranged for its subordinates to continue monitoring the situation before heading to bathe in the volcanic lake beneath the palace.

Huanglongmon takes a bath every day and has to have its scales wiped clean. Humanoid Digimon are more dexterous, so these tasks are naturally handled by them, especially female Digimon.

But this is no easy task, because if Huanglongmon sees even a little bit of dirt, the Digimon responsible for bathing that day will be smashed to pieces.

The humanoid Digimon dared not speak out, for those who did were smashed to pieces.

Meanwhile, in a mysterious palace high in the clouds, the newly born Lucemon also sensed the actions of AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon.

Born as a chosen one, he possesses the ability to hear the voices of all things.

From the moment he was born, he heard the resentment of all living beings towards the Yellow Dragon Beast, and knew that his mission was to seal the tyrant Yellow Dragon Beast. To this end, he constantly cultivated and accumulated power, reaching the maximum level while waiting for the right opportunity.

Now, sensing the behavior of AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon, and the impact of this behavior on the world order, he finally concluded: "The time for my birth is drawing ever closer."

As for the golden Digimon that travels with AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon, almost no one pays attention to it, and even those who do only regard it as a follower.

Chapter 120, The Four Divine Beasts

AncientGarurumon was reasonable and easy to talk to, and it was thanks to AncientGarurumon's persuasion that Takuya Kanbara avoided a conflict with AncientGreymon.

But the remaining seven ancient ultimate forms cannot be made to relinquish their power simply by talking.

For example, the ancient sphinx and the ancient Garurumon are opposites of light and darkness. Unlike the future Koichi Kimura and Koji Minamoto, the current light and dark warriors are not brothers. They are simply opposites in attributes. One walks on all fours, and the other stands on two legs. One is black and the other is white. They hate each other.

"A sharp double-edged sword!"

The ancient Garurumon brandished two gleaming golden swords and attacked.

"Dark Shockwave!"

The ancient sphinx roared and spat out a destructive beam of death.

Bang!

After a brief clash, the ancient sphinx gained the upper hand and raised its head to mock, "You've gotten weaker, you dead dog! No, I should be the one who's gotten stronger! My growth rate surpasses yours! Meow ha ha ha ha—!"

"Hmph, just because I've become weaker doesn't mean you've become stronger, you stupid cat," AncientGarurumon sneered.

After separating his millennia-old energy, his strength did indeed decline.

"Do you need my help?" AncientGreymon asked.

Without turning its head, AncientGarurumon said, "No need, don't interfere."

Then AncientGreymon really did not move at all.

Takuya Kanbara, holding the puppy beast, watched the battle between the light and dark beasts and muttered, "The power of light and dark should be evenly matched. Even if it is declining, it shouldn't be falling behind so quickly."

Ancient Tyrannomon chuckled upon hearing this and explained in its bold voice, "In terms of light and darkness alone, that's certainly true, but this is not only a battle between light and darkness, but also a battle between viruses and data."

Digimon's attributes are not only elemental attributes of strength, but also basic physical attributes, which can be roughly divided into three types: Vaccine, Data, and Virus.

Vaccines defeat viruses, viruses defeat data, and data defeats vaccines.

Connecting end to end, they form a perfect triangle.

Even at its peak, AncientGarurumon, being a Data-type Light-attribute, was still weaker than AncientSphinx, a Virus-type Dark-attribute.

Moreover, the ancient Garurumon had diverted its millennia-old energy, making it weaker than at its peak, which explains the current situation.

How are variants calculated?

Takuya Kanbara's current evolved form, Goldmon, as well as his previous forms like Vulcanmon, Flamedramon, and Firedramon, are all variable Digimon.

AncientGreymon said, "Variable type? Wow, that's amazing. Variable type can switch attributes at will. When it's lawful, it's a vaccine type; when it's neutral, it's a data type; and when it's evil, it's a virus type. However, Digimon with this attribute are very rare."

At this point, AncientGreymon looked at Takuya Kanbara and asked, "Why do you ask that? Could it be that you..."

Takuya Kambara smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's exactly what you think."

At the same time, I felt a sense of awe, thinking that the ancient Tyrannosaurus Beast, despite its seemingly rugged appearance, possessed a delicate heart.

Ancient Tyrannomon laughed and said, "Young brother, you are indeed extraordinary. No wonder we hit it off immediately. It seems we are both destined for great things."

Bang-!

AncientGarurumon was knocked away and landed in front of everyone.

AncientGreymon then asked, "Can you still hold on?"

AncientGarurumon was speechless. What a question! If he answered that he couldn't hold on, how embarrassing would that be!

He struggled to his feet and went forward to fight again, but was soon driven back once more.

"return……"

Before AncientGreymon could finish speaking, AncientGarurumon interrupted, "Don't speak!"

He stood up, attached the twin swords to his back, and crouched down to transform into beast mode.

"Ouch——!"

While Beast Mode prevents the use of sword techniques and weakens skill, it enhances strength and speed. When AncientGarurumon pounced on AncientSphinx to fight again, it was no longer at a disadvantage.

The ancient sphinx cursed, "Despicable! They actually hid such a trick!"

Seeing this, Takuya Kanbara and the puppymon were both stunned and turned to look at AncientGreymon.

Could it be...

Ancient Tyrannomon said, "Hey, don't look at me, I don't know this move."

Takuya Kanbara glanced at the armor on AncientGreymon and said, "I think you have the potential."

Ancient Tyrannomon said, "But I have no intention of developing it."

On the other hand, AncientGarurumon in Beast Mode has a greatly increased speed. Although its strength may still be inferior to AncientSphinx, its speed is an invincible factor.
