Mo Yan and Dark Witchmon discussed how powerful Digimon often behaved strangely before Mo Yan explained that Sandiramon’s defeat had been arranged to help three children and their partner Digimon grow stronger. Dark Witchmon questioned relying on human power for evolution, leaving her convinced that Digimon should grow through their own efforts.

• Mo Yan and Dark Witchmon joked that the Digital World’s strongest beings were unusually strange, and Dark Witchmon complained about Teacher SageMon’s habits.
• Dark Witchmon tried to kiss Mo Yan, but he stayed upright and told her that Sandiramon had left.
• Dark Witchmon sensed Sandiramon’s defeat and noticed that the scattered data was too little for a Holy Beast Digimon.
• Mo Yan explained that Sandiramon’s body had been controlled by Sandiramon’s consciousness but contained only part of Sandiramon’s data combined with data from Lord Zhuqiaomon.
• Dark Witchmon argued that Digimon should rely on their own growth rather than human power to evolve, because outside power could weaken their foundations.

Mo Yan warned Dark Witchmon that her light-and-dark talents had attracted the attention of the wills of both worlds and urged her to return to Witchelny. She left through his teleportation circle, while Mo Yan sensed that the Twelve Digicores were already drawing pressure from those wills.

• Mo Yan argued that human power could bring Digimon new possibilities but would compromise their autonomy, and Dark Witchmon said she still looked down on it.
• Mo Yan told Dark Witchmon that her rare combination of light and darkness could draw the wills of both worlds, so she should return to Witchelny under SageMon and the others’ protection.
• Mo Yan explained that powerful beings had supported and influenced him because of his Twelve Digicores, and Dark Witchmon asked whether he would be all right.

• SageMon told Mo Yan that TyrantKabuterimon had given him BloomLordmon’s initial data and transmitted it to him.

Mo Yan received BloomLordmon’s data and agreed to help perfect its unusual evolution, then learned from SageMon about a reincarnated Leomon named Caesar whose protected data might hold the key to reaching the Infinite Dimensions. SageMon said new plans would be discussed after Mo Yan met Qinglongmon and the others, leaving Mo Yan facing the prospect of an unknown new evolution.

• Mo Yan examined BloomLordmon’s complex data, and SageMon explained that TyrantKabuterimon wanted him to perfect its evolution.

• Mo Yan accepted the plan, and SageMon ended the call before the Two Worlds' United Will could be kept waiting.
• Mo Yan noted his thoughts about data affecting Digimon personalities, then called over the DigiCore containing his insect and plant data to begin shaping new Digimon.

Mo Yan created a white-and-green Digi-Egg using BloomLordmon's data as its foundation and his own core data and life force. After the Two Worlds' United Will chose a girl to partner with it, Mo Yan obtained D-Ark specifications and looked toward her location.

• Mo Yan built a new DigiCore around BloomLordmon's data, blending in his own core data and designing theoretical forms from Ultimate down to Rookie.
• Mo Yan infused the developing Digi-Egg with his life force and completed a white egg with green markings, then recalled his eleven DigiCores and returned to the Human World.

• Mo Yan studied the D-Ark data and looked east toward the girl chosen to become the Digi-Egg's partner.

Alice McCoy remembered her time in the Digital World and her bond with Dobermon before discovering a D-Ark in her room. The device produced a Digi-Egg, which hatched into a small being and formed a new connection with Alice.

• Alice woke at her grandfather Rob McCoy’s urging and wondered how Dobermon was doing.
• The chapter recounted how Alice had been stranded in the Digital World, cared for by Gazimon, and eventually returned to the Human World.
• Alice found a D-Ark by her window, and it projected a white Digi-Egg with green markings onto her desk.
• Alice touched the Digi-Egg as the D-Ark sent mysterious power into her, creating a connection between them.
• A cute little being appeared before Alice and spoke to her.

Alice officially bonded with Wormmon, who emerged from her D-Ark and joined her for breakfast with Alice and Rob McCoy. Watching them from outside, Mo Yan was satisfied that Wormmon had developed his own consciousness and then prepared to fulfill his agreement with Machinedramon.

• Wormmon appeared from Alice’s D-Ark, introduced himself, and confirmed his Digimon data as Alice read it aloud.
• Alice asked whether Wormmon was her partner, then welcomed him warmly despite wishing her partner had been Dobermon.
• Rob McCoy entered Alice’s room, met Wormmon, and later watched him eat while marveling at how far Digimon had developed.
• Wormmon reminded Alice and Rob McCoy to eat, and the three of them shared breakfast.
• Mo Yan watched from outside, explained why he had left out his memories when creating Wormmon, and turned his attention west to fulfill his agreement with Machinedramon.

Mo Yan infiltrated a Lighthouse Country military base and used eleven DigiCores to open a temporary Digital Space in its isolated local network. After he activated Machinedramon’s Communication Device, Machinedramon confirmed the signal and began taking control of the area in exchange for the Iron Empire’s mechanical and Cyborg Digimon data.

• Mo Yan used his Digital Ghost form to evade the base’s detection systems and examined its advanced, isolated local network.
• At the network hub, Mo Yan uploaded his data and sent eleven DigiCores into the local network to open a temporary Digital Space.
• Mo Yan assembled and activated Machinedramon’s Communication Device, sending a signal through the network’s restrictions to the Digital World.
• Gearsmon traced the signal and confirmed it came from the agreed location.
• Machinedramon ordered Gearsmon to take control of the area, collect its data, carry out Digital Assimilation, and connect him to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan watched the Iron Empire transform his temporary Digital Space and received the right to choose one Mechanical Cyborg Digimon’s core data. Datamon presented HiAndromon and Darkdramon as the two candidates, and Mo Yan was left to decide.

• Machinedramon connected to Mo Yan’s communication device, and the Iron Empire’s program replaced Mo Yan’s DigiCores as the power sustaining the temporary Digital Space.
• Datamon contacted Mo Yan, verified him, and transferred the video permissions to Machinedramon.
• Machinedramon told Mo Yan he could choose the core data of any Mechanical Cyborg Digimon in exchange for his help.
• Datamon recommended HiAndromon, an advanced mechanized Andromon powered by Chrono Digi-Alloy, neutron energy, and atomic energy.
• Datamon presented Darkdramon, a runaway Digimon created during the Iron Empire’s Dark Matter research that could theoretically wield Dark Matter, and asked Mo Yan to choose.

Mo Yan chose Darkdramon's core data for his machinery-and-technology DigiCore, favoring its biological traits and compatibility with his future plans. He agreed to protect Datamon's new factory in exchange for parts, then began studying the knowledge needed to build and modify his Darkdramon form.

• Mo Yan rejected using Machinedramon's core data because its authorization would leave his mechanical form subject to Machinedramon, and he chose Darkdramon over HiAndromon.
• Mo Yan confirmed his choice, and Datamon transmitted Darkdramon's core data into his machinery-and-technology DigiCore.
• Datamon offered Mo Yan access to factory parts in exchange for protecting the factory until it produced its first batch of guards, and Mo Yan accepted.
• Mo Yan placed his DigiCore in the factory's main control room, where it served as the parts-production template and data processing center as the factory began operating.
• Mo Yan started studying machinery, programming, alloys, and the conflicts between mechanical systems and biological instincts so he could build and modify his Darkdramon form himself.

Rob McCoy studied Alice’s D-Ark as Alice and Wormmon joked with him, and he realized how much Wormmon had helped his granddaughter become cheerful again. When Wormmon sensed another Digimon nearby and asked to evolve, Alice agreed, and she and Rob set out to face the encounter.

• Alice used Card Slash: Yukidarumon and directed Wormmon to freeze Dokunemon, which shattered into data.

Wormmon defeated Dokunemon, then Alice and Rob McCoy left the alley together after the Digital Battle Arena and its fog vanished. In the days that followed, Wormmon battled increasingly strong Digimon until Alice’s heartfelt words triggered his evolution into Flymon, who carried her into the sky to escape Kuwagamon.

• Wormmon absorbed Dokunemon’s data, and the Digital Battle Arena and surrounding mist disappeared as Alice prepared to go home with him.
• Rob McCoy was distraught that the fog vanished before he could study it, but Wormmon’s words helped him regain perspective and accept that he could refine his conclusions later.
• Alice, Wormmon, and Rob McCoy left the alley together, and in the following days Alice and Wormmon fought a series of insect- and plant-type Digimon while Rob McCoy researched and supplied experimental Digimon Cards.
• Wormmon reached a bottleneck and was nearly killed fighting Kuwagamon, while Alice’s card support could no longer help him and Rob McCoy could do nothing.
• Alice thanked Wormmon, and her spiritual strength stirred Calumon’s power and activated Mo Yan’s response mechanism, surrounding Wormmon with the light of evolution.
• Wormmon evolved into Flymon, who scooped up Alice and flew into the sky to evade Kuwagamon’s Scissor Arms.

Flymon defeated Kuwagamon, who disintegrated without explaining why he had welcomed the attack, while Alice suspected the King of Insects might be involved. Calumon then appeared and revealed that Takato, Guilmon, and others were nearby, just as the sky split open.

• Flymon exploited Kuwagamon’s size and slow movements, then struck him with Deadly Sting; Kuwagamon accepted the attack and disintegrated into data.
• Flymon wondered who was arranging the repeated encounters, while Alice considered whether the King of Insects had targeted Wormmon.

• Alice sent Flymon to distract Vajramon, and Flymon evaded its attack after drawing its attention.
• Takato Matsuki ran to Great Growlmon, who was pinned beneath a red jewel, and shouted as he prepared to unleash more power.

Takato Matsuki’s encouragement helped Great Growlmon break free and rejoin the battle, while Mo Yan gave Alice a card that evolved Flymon into Jewelbeemon. Away from the fight, Mo Yan confronted Makuramon about provoking Vajramon, and Makuramon admitted it and challenged the humans’ right to interfere with Digimon evolution.

• Takato Matsuki shouted his feelings to Great Growlmon, who destroyed Vajramon’s red orb and advanced toward him as Shamanmon and Rapidmon attacked again.
• Mo Yan gave Alice a blue Digimon Card, and she used it to evolve Flymon into Jewelbeemon.
• Jewelbeemon countered Vajramon’s red orbs with Spiking Strike, drawing the attention of Takato Matsuki, Rika Makino, and Li Jianliang.
• Mo Yan left Alice and the battlefield to confront Makuramon, who admitted he had made Vajramon go berserk.
• Makuramon questioned Mo Yan about humans interfering with Digimon evolution and treating Digimon as their servants.

Mo Yan warned Makuramon against defying the Four Holy Beasts, but Makuramon set out to punish the children and target the evolution light. Meanwhile, the children and their Digimon coordinated an attack that toppled Vajramon and hit him with four powerful techniques, leaving his fate obscured by dust.

• Mo Yan warned Makuramon that opposing the Four Holy Beasts’ plans without sufficient strength would bring destruction, but Makuramon rejected his advice.
• Mo Yan sensed that Zhuqiaomon had noticed Vajramon’s rampage and warned Makuramon not to attack the evolution light; Makuramon went ahead, and Mo Yan left to seek a share of Vajramon’s mythological data for Jewelbeemon.
• Takato Matsuki and the others coordinated their Digimon’s attacks as Great Growlmon charged Vajramon, with Rapidmon and Shamanmon helping Jewelbeemon distract and maneuver him.
• Great Growlmon toppled Vajramon, and Great Growlmon, Shamanmon, Rapidmon, and Jewelbeemon struck him with their attacks.
• Shamanmon swept away the dust from the explosion, revealing that Vajramon’s condition remained unknown.

After the children defeated Vajramon, Makuramon snatched Calumon and headed for the rift, where Zhuqiaomon appeared and Leomon was struck down. Juri Katou received a D-Ark, while Mo Yan secretly added a program to it before returning to the Digital Arms Factory.

• Vajramon’s data scattered into the DigiCores of Great Growlmon, Rapidmon, Shamanmon, and Jewelbeemon, and he returned to his true body to sleep.
• Makuramon seized Calumon and declared that he would take her back to help the Digimon attain higher evolution.
• Takato Matsuki tried to rescue Calumon, but Makuramon evaded him and flew toward the rift as Leomon attempted to intercept him.
• Zhuqiaomon’s figure appeared within the rift, and needles struck Leomon, leaving him motionless on the ground.
• Juri Katou’s concern for Leomon triggered the appearance of a new D-Ark before her.
• Mo Yan secretly sent a program into Juri Katou’s D-Ark, then left to return to the Digital Arms Factory in Lighthouse Country.

After Makuramon took Calumon to the Digital World, Takato Matsuki resolved to rescue him, and Alice McCoy decided to join the journey. Alice left the next steps with her grandfather’s blessing and Wormmon’s promise to protect her.

• Makuramon taunted the children as he disappeared into the Digital World, while Zhuqiaomon watched Takato Matsuki’s growing malice with approval.
• Takato Matsuki urged Rika Makino and Li Jianliang to go to the Digital World and rescue Calumon.
• Alice McCoy introduced herself to Takato Matsuki, Rika Makino, and Li Jianliang, then asked whether they were going to the Digital World.
• The children and their Digimon fled the approaching authorities, while Jewelbeemon carried Alice and Rob McCoy home.
• At McCoy's Cottage, Alice told Rob McCoy she was determined to return to the Digital World, and he asked Wormmon to protect her.

Mo Yan oversaw the Iron Empire’s newly built arms factory at a military base in Lighthouse Country while the DigiDestined prepared to enter the Digital World. He inspected a newly completed Hypergravity Chamber and asked when Andromon’s modifications would be finished.

• Mo Yan ordered Gearsmon to monitor the DigiDestined and report when they were ready to leave.
• Mo Yan examined the factory’s production facilities and learned how its workshops and logistical support helped make the Iron Empire powerful.
• A Gearsmon reported that the Hypergravity Chamber had been completed, and Mo Yan asked about the progress of Andromon’s modifications.
• Gearsmon led Mo Yan to the chamber, explained its materials and gravity controls, and warned him against using highly destructive powers.
• Gearsmon transferred control of the Hypergravity Chamber to Mo Yan, and the system confirmed him as its acting commander.

Mo Yan received access to the Iron Empire’s Hypergravity Chamber and learned that the Empire would provide Darkdramon’s core data and mechanical parts, but he had to supply its biological components himself. After accepting the Empire’s warning and bowing in respect, he prepared to train while Gearsmon arranged the core assembly.

• Gearsmon transferred permission for Mo Yan to use the Hypergravity Chamber and explained that Darkdramon’s core components were manufactured, but its assembly and remaining parts were unfinished.
• Gearsmon relayed the Central Computer’s offer to assemble Darkdramon’s core apparatus first and send Mo Yan its remaining mechanical components through a digital transmission device.
• Mo Yan questioned whether he had to provide Darkdramon’s biological parts, and the Central Computer explained that the Empire expected him to create them himself.
• Mo Yan accepted the Iron Empire’s terms, bowed to the Empire and Machinedramon, and said he would train in the Hypergravity Chamber while Darkdramon’s core apparatus was assembled.
• Gearsmon left the chamber, and nine DigiCores flew out of Mo Yan’s body as he walked toward its center.

Mo Yan revealed the Digimon forms of his twelve DigiCores and used Dark Angemon and Flame Angemon’s data to create Holy Angemon Priest Mode. The new angel appeared as the fusion succeeded, while Mo Yan’s other DigiCore forms remained unchanged.

• Mo Yan manifested the Digimon forms of his twelve DigiCores, including three new forms shaped with data SageMon obtained from Caesar’s world-traversing ability.
• Mo Yan explained that his previous-life self represented his Ego Digicore and helped preserve his will and balance the other DigiCores.
• Mo Yan replaced the Wizard Digicore with the Ego Digicore, then began merging Dark Angemon’s data into Flame Angemon’s.
• Flame Angemon’s arms gained opposing rings inscribed with light and darkness as the fusion triggered Digivolution.
• The light and darkness faded to reveal Holy Angemon Priest Mode, an Ultimate Archangel-type Digimon.

Mo Yan questioned why merging the Twin Angel data had led him to evolve into Holy Angemon: Priest Form, and considered devolving to seek a different Ultimate form. Holy Angemon: Priest Form explained that the Digital World and its authorities had shaped their evolution, and Mo Yan was left weighing his ambitions against the consequences of living.

• Mo Yan considered forcibly devolving Holy Angemon: Priest Form and evolving again, trusting his Twelve Digicores to repair any damage to his data.
• Holy Angemon: Priest Form displayed a murky power and explained that the Digital World, its highest-ranking angels, and Lucemon's authority had influenced their evolution.
• Mo Yan and Holy Angemon: Priest Form discussed how their original form had made them vulnerable to those influences and how Ultimate evolution could eventually free them to create new forms.
• Holy Angemon: Priest Form urged Mo Yan to stop seeking risky new evolutionary lines, but Mo Yan lamented that doing so would make his trip to the Digital World feel wasted.
• Holy Angemon: Priest Form told Mo Yan that he had to choose between living with the consequences of his ambitions and dying early to reincarnate.

Mo Yan transformed his Dark Digicore by inscribing his feelings about death, darkness, and corruption, then linking it to his other DigiCores. The Digicore was born as Cerberumon, a rational watcher of darkness and guardian of the hell within Mo Yan’s heart.

• Mo Yan concluded that the Dark Area persisted because factions benefited from the disasters caused by its Demon Lord/Deity-type Digimon.
• Mo Yan inscribed his emotions, dark power, Mythological Data, and a final definition onto the Dark Digicore, then connected it to his other eleven DigiCores.
• The Dark Digicore absorbed data and power from the other DigiCores, including power from Holy Angemon: Priest Form, while taking in Mo Yan’s negative emotions without losing its rationality.
• Mo Yan began imagining that he was the chosen one, but the Dark Digicore returned him to his senses before Holy Angemon: Priest Form’s Holy Purification Light reached him.
• The Dark Digicore transformed and announced the birth of Cerberumon, leaving Mo Yan and Holy Angemon: Priest Form surprised by the form Mo Yan’s darkness had taken.
