Chapter 133: AeroVeedramon

It was as he had thought: difficult, difficult, and difficult. Unless, during the breakthrough, a Digimon could absorb a sufficiently powerful energy. This energy had to be potent enough to propel the Digimon directly to the level of a supreme-tier Ultimate. Furthermore, this energy could not be volatile; it had to be extremely gentle for there to be any possibility of successfully absorbing it.

In the end, I-mon sighed, deciding not to dwell on it further. If all else failed, he would simply evolve into an ordinary Ultimate-level Digimon first and then train step by step until he reached the level of a supreme-tier Ultimate.

Although he had only ever seen three supreme-tier Ultimates, that did not mean there were only three in existence. In the vast, infinite expanse of the myriad worlds and the endless Digital World, there were certainly other supreme-tier Ultimates, and they were not necessarily born at that level.

Perhaps they had started as low-tier Ultimates, only to grow stronger, unlock their potential, and evolve step by step into supreme-tier Ultimates.

"Sigh, I said I wouldn't think about it, so why did it suddenly cross my mind again?" I-mon sighed and shook his head, as if trying to cast these thoughts out of his mind.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by. When I-mon arrived at the teleportation plaza, he saw a large group of people waiting there. Leading them was none other than Elena and her eight companions.

"Let's go." Seeing that everyone had arrived, they did not wait any longer and set off immediately. I-mon followed behind them into the teleportation array. Moments later, the group appeared inside a massive city.

Guided by the others, I-mon exited the city and stepped out into a vast plain. On the other side of the plain stood another city.

As they emerged, figures began to appear from the opposite city. Or rather, they were Digimon figures.

Leading them was Astaramon, but he was accompanied by another Digimon—Qilinmon. Behind these two leaders were LoaderLeomon, Gokuwmon, Cho-Hakkaimon, Shawujinmon, CrystalAngemon, AeroVeedramon, Wingdramon, and Hi-Stiffilmon.

Judging by their presence, these ten Digimon were at least high-tier Ultimates, with many nearing the peak of the mid-tier Ultimate level.

I-mon frowned as he surveyed the scene. "Why are there no Mega-level Digimon?"

At that moment, Elena spoke up from beside him. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. According to them, this region prevents evolution into the Mega level. Any Ultimate Digimon wishing to reach the Mega level must leave this place. Precisely because everyone here is at the Ultimate level—and even though some are quite strong, there is no decisive factor—they want to challenge us to a tournament."

"I see." Though I-mon acknowledged this, a memory surfaced in his mind.

In the place where Zero-mon was born, it had also been a region where evolution to the Mega level was impossible. Later, the HolyAngemon and Myotismon who ruled that place conspired for ten thousand years, eventually breaking the deadlock and both achieving Mega status.

However, the cost was the deaths of countless Digimon. In the end, they were both struck down by a single blow from a Child-level Lucemon. Not only them, but all their accomplices who had aided their tyranny were also destroyed.

Because Zero-mon had not been one of their subordinates at the time, he was saved by Lucemon. That was the first meeting between Zero-mon and Lucemon. Later, Lucemon campaigned in the Dark Area, returned corrupted, and was eventually eliminated by Zero-mon.

"Could this, too, be a plot?" I-mon murmured to himself. This really reminded him of that past event. If someone were indeed trying to join forces to break the deadlock here, it was possible that countless Digimon would perish.

But then again, perhaps that would not be the case. Regardless, what Elena said carried a ring of truth.

One of the people on I-mon's side suddenly said, "Summon your Digimon."

The others did not object. On the spot, they summoned their respective partners: SaviorHuckmon, Paildramon, MetalGreymon, Wingdramon, Garudamon, RizeGreymon, WarGrowlmon, Taomon, GrappLeomon, and MetalPhantomon.

At first glance, the two sides seemed evenly matched. However, their true strength would only be revealed in combat.

"Astaramon, Qilinmon, we have arrived as agreed," one of I-mon’s companions called out to the other side.

"Straightforward," Astaramon laughed. "Then let's not waste any more time. Let's begin."

I-mon replied, "Fine."

Astaramon turned to the AeroVeedramon behind him and said, "Go, AeroVeedramon."

"Understood." AeroVeedramon nodded and stepped into the open area between the two sides.

AeroVeedramon, an Ancient Dragon-type Data Digimon, is an Ultimate-level Digimon. It is a Digimon specialized for high-speed aerial combat, having shot down countless enemies in close-quarters dogfights.

"It seems this round must be handled by Wingdramon." As soon as he finished speaking, Wingdramon from I-mon's side stepped onto the field.

Wingdramon, a Holy Dragon-type Vaccine Digimon, is an Ultimate-level Digimon. It is a further evolution of Dracomon, capable of moving through the air.

It is said that even among the rare Dragon-type Digimon, only those who have emerged victorious from a hundred battles can evolve into this form, and its existence has become a legend. It has not only evolved wings but has also undergone a more combat-oriented transformation, mastering greater offensive and defensive capabilities.

Although AeroVeedramon’s speed was not slow, Wingdramon’s was equally impressive. It is worth noting that Wingdramon can evolve into Slayerdramon, who is renowned as the fastest in the Royal Knights. Even when compared to the entire Digital World, its speed is considered top-tier.

Thus, this battle was a clash between two speed-type Digimon!
