Takuya Kanbara has decided to stop being human.

God of the Digital World!

Angering the World Tree is equivalent to angering the entire Digital World.

"It's a pity that he didn't use his talents for the right things."

Jeanne d'Arcmon continues to reveal information, disclosing technologies such as Bio-Digimon and Gizmon.

"How could this be!" Bancho Lionmon's eyes widened in anger.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with bio-engineered Digimon. It's just a technology for modifying humans and Digimon. You should know that modified Digimon are everywhere in the Digital World.

MetalGreymon was created through modification, MetalGarurumon was also created through modification, and Mudmon was also created through modification.

Digimon with mechanical parts on their bodies have all undergone some degree of modification.

Therefore, the artificial Digimon that Kurata researched were nothing special.

But Gizmon, which can erase Digimon data, is going too far.

Digimon originally had a rebirth system called Digi-Egg, where death was simply a fresh start. However, if a Digimon was hit by an attack from Gizmon, not even the Digi-Egg could be left behind.

"And there's one more thing."

"besides?"

"Kurata obtained a Belphemon Digi-Egg."

"Belphemon!"

Bancho Lionmon was immediately startled.

Compared to Belphemon, both Gizmon and bio-Digimon become minor issues.

Seeing BanchoLeomon's solemn expression, Jeannemon exchanged a glance with Takuya Kanbara and came to a conclusion: "It seems that Belphemon is a rather powerful Digimon."

She is Angewomon from the Infinite Zone, where there are no Seven Great Demon Lords, so she didn't react much when she heard the name Belphemon.

"Don't you know? Belphemon is one of the legendary Seven Great Demon Lords."

BanchoLeomon was surprised. He had thought Jeanne d'Arcmon was very knowledgeable because she had spoken so eloquently before. How could she not even know such a famous legend in the Digital World?

"The Seven Great Demon Lords are seven Demon Lord-type Digimon, each possessing the power to destroy the world!"

(＠_＠;)

Jeanne d'Arc tilted her head, looking completely bewildered.

Takuya Kanbara asked curiously, "Who are the Seven Great Demon Lords?"

Seeing that they really didn't understand, BanchoLeomon said, "Lucemon Fallout Mode, Leviamon, Mashinmon, Belphemon, Barbamon, Beelzemon, Lilithmon."

"Light Beast!?"

Jeanne d'Arc's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

She didn't know much about the other six demon lords, but she was very familiar with Lucemon.

In the world of Infinite Zone, the former savior and tyrant, Lucemon, was sealed away by seven or eight out of ten ancient warriors, which shows how powerful Lucemon was.

There are actually six Digimon that can be ranked alongside Lucemon as one of the Seven Great Demon Lords, which clearly means that these six Digimon are no ordinary beings.

Takuya Kanbara patted Jeanne d'Arcmon on the shoulder and reassured him, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there's nothing to be afraid of, whether it's Lucemon or Belphemon."

Jeanne d'Arc Beast was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Takuya, you have no idea how powerful Lucemon is..."

Takuya Kanbara interrupted Jeanne d'Arc, saying, "I have seen Luminosity."

"..."

Jeanne d'Arc was stunned.

Takuya Kambara said, "In the heart of the dark zone, he was in prison and I was outside. We fought once from afar. He was strong, but I will become stronger."

In the Infinite Zone, he was already able to barely contend with an Ultimate-level being.

After learning the Digital Soul, he became even stronger.

Jeanne stared blankly at Takuya Kanbara, looking into his bright, piercing eyes. She nodded unconsciously; perhaps this person could create a miracle.

BanchoLeomon smirked at the sight, thinking, "Good lad, you remind me of how I flirted with Sayuri back in the day."

“That’s right, Takuya. As a man, you should be prepared to protect women.”

BanchoLeomon laughed heartily, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "Let me see your Digital Soul!"

Takuya Kanbara raised his fist, and a crimson digital soul ignited on it.

Seeing this, BanchoLeomon said, "Digital Soul is the power of a person's will. The stronger the will, the more powerful the Digital Soul. Your Digital Soul is already capable of unleashing ultimate power. Take out your Digi-Device and pour all your Digital Soul into it."

Takuya Kanbara took out the DigiDev and frowned, saying, "If I inject all my power, won't the DigiDev explode?"

BanchoLeomon chuckled, "I designed the Digi-Device, and it also has the ability to evolve."

"I see." Upon hearing this, Takuya Kanbara felt relieved and focused all his energy on infusing the Digital Soul into the Digital Device.

With a flash of red light, the red and white digital device changed its appearance. Not only did it have a recharge port on the top, but it also had one on the side, and the color scheme became the same black and red as the Armored Digivice.

Exploding Digital Device!

BanchoLeomon said, "This Burst Digimon can evolve your Digimon into an Ultimate form, but if you want to fight against Digimon of the Seven Great Demon Lords level, ordinary Ultimate forms are not very useful. You must use the second function of this Digimon—Burst Mode."

Takuya Kanbara and Jeanne d'Arc asked in confusion, "Burst Mode?"

BanchoLeomon nodded and said, "After undergoing Burst Evolution, Digimon can temporarily unleash power at or even beyond their limits. I call this mode 'Burst Mode'."

"Beyond the limits..." Jeanne d'Arc Beast was somewhat incredulous.

"Seeing is believing." Takuya Kanbara held the Burst Digimon up to Jeanne d'Arcmon. "Jeanne d'Arcmon, are you ready?"

Jeanne d'Arc took a deep breath and then nodded.

"Come on, Takuya!"

ULTIMATE EVOLUTION!

The words "Ultimate Evolution" are displayed on the Exploding Digital Device.

"Infused with the spirit of digital technology, surpassing all limits!"

"Jeanne d'Arcmon Ultimate Evolution... Angewomon!"

A powerful energy surged into the sky, and even BanchoLeomon showed a look of shock, thinking, "This power is no less than mine!"

The surging energy gradually subsided, revealing the figure of Angewomon, with a white fishtail skirt, cyan armor, and five pairs of golden wings, looking incredibly heroic.

She looked at her hands and exclaimed in surprise, "So this is the power of Burst Mode? It's definitely much stronger than before!"

If her peak power was 800, then her current power is 1000!

Takuya Kanbara looked at Bancho Lionmon.

BanchoLeomon frowned and said, "No, this is just a normal Ultimate Evolution. Burst Evolution is not so easy. It is a possibility that can only be created by humans and Digimon working together. It requires mutual giving to give birth to the super ultimate power. It cannot be opened by simply accumulating Digimon Souls."

If this were a debate, Daimon Hideaki's argument would be that humans and Digimon can create infinite possibilities.

Burst mode is the evidence.

If you can easily activate Burst Mode, then there's no evidence to speak of.

To activate Burst Mode, the first step is for the human and the Digimon to be of one mind and body.

"In other words, your bond isn't deep enough."

BanchoLeomon concluded.

Chapter Twenty-Three: I'll Dress Like This From Now On

Takuya Kanbara and Angewomon stood there, stunned.

The bond isn't deep enough?

On second thought, that's indeed the case.

They've only known each other for a little over three days, so it's normal that their bond isn't deep enough yet.

How can we deepen our bond?

Angewomon desperately wants to obtain the power of Burst Mode. If she can activate Burst Mode, she can single-handedly quell the disaster in the Infinite Zone.

The leader of the lion beast said, "We can only let nature take its course."

This matter cannot be rushed; only time can deepen the bond.

Takuya Kanbara was quite curious about Burst Mode and suddenly had an idea: "I have an idea, is it possible to activate Burst Mode for myself?"

BanchoLeomon asked in surprise, "Myself? What do you mean?"

Takuya Kanbara uses a Digivice to evolve into Vulcan.

BanchoLeomon was startled: "This is a bio-engineered Digimon?"

Vulcanmon shook its head and said, "No, it's another way of evolving. I am now the Warrior of Fire—Vulcanmon. You can think of it as the power of another Digital World."

"Another digital world? I understand."

BanchoLeomon nodded knowingly.

He had heard about other digital worlds from the World Tree, though only in fragments, but he could still piece together some information in his mind.

However, this was the first time he had seen a Digimon from another world, and he couldn't help but look at Vulcanmon with some curiosity.

Volcanomon wasn't annoyed by BanchoLeomon's gaze, and clenched his fist, saying, "Now that I'm a Digimon, theoretically, I should be able to activate Burst Mode as well."

It's too difficult to be "of one mind and one heart" with others.

But it should be easier to be "in sync with one's own mind and body".

"Nevertheless, it is not easy to be in sync with one's own heart."

BanchoLeomon pointed to himself with his thumb and said, "My current state is actually very similar to yours. I am both a Digimon and a human. Although theoretically I could indeed activate Burst Mode, in fact, I have not yet figured out how to activate Burst Mode in this state."

Hearing this, the Fire God Beast couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Angewomon initially felt a sense of unease upon hearing that Valkyriemon was going to go it alone, but after hearing BanchoLeomon's words, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, the path of 'deepening the bond with me to unlock explosive mode' is more feasible."

Angewomon thought to herself with delight.

Even though Vulcanmon has regressed into Takuya Kanbara, he doesn't want to give up. Although BanchoLeomon hasn't developed a single-target burst mode, he might be able to.

Over the next few days, Takuya Kanbara followed BanchoLeomon through the Digital World, searching for a way out and frequently discussing the principles and applications of the Digital Soul with him.

BanchoLeomon generously shared all of its research findings.

Even with the knowledge of a master warrior like Takuya Kanbara, he still couldn't activate the single-target burst mode.

"As expected, we still need to see the Burst Mode."

Takuya Kambara thought of it.

Only by seeing the actual object can he analyze the burst pattern and then learn the burst pattern.

"Takuya, let's deepen our bond."

Jeanne d'Arc, holding onto Takuya Kanbara's arm, said excitedly.

Takuya Kanbara couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why haven't you regressed into a puppy beast yet?"

Agumon evolved into EarthGreymon, but after the battle, it reverted back to Agumon.

But why does Angewomon get stuck at Jeanne d'Arcmon after it devolves?

It's not a bad thing, though.

But since you're not a puppy, I can't hug you in a reasonable way.

"It's not that we necessarily have to regress."

Jeanne d'Arc's face was rosy, her eyes sparkling, and she coughed lightly, saying, "Maintaining human form will make many things more convenient."

The little dog's personality is like that of a naive girl.

Jeanne d'Arc's personality is like that of a young girl in love.

She is a better match for Takuya Kanbara in terms of age.
