"Speaking of mikos, how is your training of that Witchmon coming along?"
The mention of mikos reminded TigerVespamon of some rumors he had heard.
"TigerVespamon, since when did you start enjoying gossip too?"
At TigerVespamon's question, Wizard Mo Yan's expression darkened, and he shot back in a slightly flustered tone.
Wizard Mo Yan did not understand why so many Digimon thought he and Witchmon were a couple.
Were they really being that obvious?
"Heh, we're Digimon, living beings born from data.
How compatible your data is determines whether you're a good match.
How compatible do you think your data is with Witchmon's?"
TigerVespamon chuckled, then turned the question back on Wizard Mo Yan.
"Fine. At least the data in this DigiCore of mine is exceptionally compatible with hers."
After a moment of silence, Wizard Mo Yan had to admit that his Wizardmon data was highly compatible with Witchmon's.
"They're getting ready to attack. I'll be going ahead, TigerVespamon."
Noticing Rika Makino's movements down below, Wizard Mo Yan immediately spoke to TigerVespamon.
With that, Wizard Mo Yan concealed himself again.
TigerVespamon merely gave Wizard Mo Yan, who seemed almost afraid of marriage, a dispassionate glance and shook his head without replying.
Then TigerVespamon turned his attention to the children below the building.
My god, do these children really have something you and the angels need?
Quietly watching Renamon evolve into Kyuubimon, TigerVespamon pondered in silence.
Qinglongmon had specifically studied the records of DigiCore specialization Mo Yan had sent over, then developed a new ability for his own DigiCore.
TigerVespamon was delighted to see his god apply that knowledge to other areas and even take another step forward.
That way, servants like them could gain new powers as well.
However, Qinglongmon had then asked the Deva to use his new ability and sacrifice some of their own mythological data to form avatars like this one and travel to the human world.
The divine decree was: grant the DigiDestined trials and power.
To be honest, TigerVespamon did not really understand Qinglongmon's thinking in going to such lengths to have them serve themselves up as easy pickings for the children.
In TigerVespamon's view, if they wanted the children's Digimon to possess mythological data, why not simply give it to them?
Why make the Deva pretend to lose with their avatars just to add victories to the children's records?
Still, for Qinglongmon's ultimate goal, TigerVespamon was willing to sacrifice his win rate.
Everything was for the Four Holy Beasts.
Let me see your strength.
TigerVespamon paced across the rooftop, quietly waiting for the children to come challenge him.
"Fox Flame Dragon!"
TigerVespamon did not have to wait long before Kyuubimon leaped onto the rooftop and attacked.
Facing Kyuubimon's attack, TigerVespamon merely let out a roar.
Then he charged straight into it.
The difference in their levels of existence was immense, even though this TigerVespamon was only an avatar with less than one percent of his true body's strength.
Even so, TigerVespamon could defeat Kyuubimon without using any skills, and even severely injure the other Digimon.
In an instant, TigerVespamon smashed through Kyuubimon's Fox Flame Dragon, sent Kyuubimon flying, and inflicted serious injuries.
While falling, Kyuubimon reverted to the Rookie-level Renamon because of those injuries.
They really do need powerful data. Otherwise, how could data this weak meet my god's requirements?
Through that brief contact, TigerVespamon had already gained some understanding of the strength of Renamon's data.
Aside from the miko data that represented Renamon's potential, Renamon currently possessed no other powerful data.
That made it quite necessary for TigerVespamon and the others to serve themselves up as easy pickings.
"Roar!"
TigerVespamon roared, venting a little of his sorrow and indignation.
He never wanted another mission like this. It was simply too humiliating.
"Gatling Gun!"
After TigerVespamon's roar, Gargomon leaped onto the rooftop with the power of a Digi-Card and attacked him.
Angel data?
Interesting.
Sensing the fluctuations in Gargomon's data, TigerVespamon seemed to think of something.
The bullets struck TigerVespamon without inflicting even the slightest damage.
During those attacks, TigerVespamon further examined Gargomon's data.
Gargomon's data was much like Renamon's.
However, because Gargomon's DigiCore contained angel data, Gargomon was slightly stronger.
Of course, what they had in common was a rather considerable volume of data for their current stage.
Before long, as TigerVespamon watched, Gargomon ran out of bullets.
"Confusion!"
To repay Gargomon for the sustained barrage, TigerVespamon knocked Gargomon off the rooftop with a sweep of his tail.
Ignoring the children's concern over their injured partners, TigerVespamon focused his senses on Guilmon.
Wicked Demon Dragon Juvenile, can you truly escape the shroud of darkness?
And walk a different path from hers?
Sensing that mass of data filled with an evil, savage aura, TigerVespamon spoke to himself inwardly.
As TigerVespamon watched expectantly, Guilmon evolved into Growlmon and flew onto the rooftop with the help of the White Wings card Takato Matsuki provided.
Looking at this crimson Demon Dragon, TigerVespamon could sense the tremendous power hidden within.
Just as TigerVespamon and Growlmon faced off, Wizard Mo Yan, hidden within the data vortex, also encountered a problem.
After saying goodbye to TigerVespamon, Wizard Mo Yan had returned to the data vortex and begun condensing chrono digi-alloy to forge his Flame Sword.
At first, with the immense pressure inside the data vortex helping him, Wizard Mo Yan's efforts to condense chrono digi-alloy went very smoothly.
However, when Wizard Mo Yan tried to alter the chrono digi-alloy's state and mold it into the shape he wanted, he ran into trouble.
Once Wizard Mo Yan had condensed the exceptionally pure and hard chrono digi-alloy into a solid form, changing its state again proved extremely difficult.
I didn't expect reforging chrono digi-alloy to be so difficult once it had taken shape.
What should I do?
Watching the chrono digi-alloy remain utterly unmoved by all his spells, Wizard Mo Yan felt a tremendous headache coming on.
"Growlmon!"
Just then, Takato Matsuki shouted Growlmon's name.
Under the pressure of TigerVespamon's overwhelming strength, the synchronization between Takato Matsuki and Guilmon's minds and bodies had reached an astonishing level.
Takato Matsuki could feel not only Guilmon's heart, but also Guilmon's blazing will to fight.
And so he, Takato Matsuki, was about to activate his cheat!
"Calu~lu~!"
Responding to Takato Matsuki's intense desire, the red triangular crystal on the forehead of Calumon, the Evolution Light, released a crimson pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
MATRIX
EVOLUTION
Growlmon!
Evolve!
Great Growlmon!
