The remarkable Angewomon

An hour later, the peace conference officially ended.

Mo Si had more or less completed her mission as a diplomat, too.

From then on, the rest would be handled by each country's DATS.

Mo Si figured her future role would amount to being the Digital World's public ambassador.

At least, that was what she had originally thought...

But after all the trouble Belphemon had caused, Mo Si instantly became a world-class superstar, the most dazzling goddess of all!

Although Ultimate Charm's effects wore off that same day, she still had tens of millions of devoted, active fans, along with hundreds of millions of casual admirers.

[Venusmon: 30%]

The emergence of so many people with love and peace in their hearts had filled places around the globe with vitality. As the one who had brought this about, Mo Si's chance of evolving into Venusmon rose dramatically.

However, she could already receive Venusmon's power, so whether her evolution chance increased no longer mattered.

Though she jokingly called the process of drawing possible evolutions "pulling cards," it wasn't actually a card draw.

Stacking identical cards wouldn't raise their star rating, either.

She hadn't wanted these fans, but...

"It feels pretty nice to be liked by so many people." Through it, Mo Si experienced the joy of realizing her own worth.

Thousands of households sang her praises, and countless people spread her story!

That was true not only in the human world, but in the Digital World as well.

Among the Royal Knights, for example.

Omnimon, Magnamon, Gallantmon, UlforceVeedramon, Crusadermon, Dynasmon, Craniamon, Sleipmon, Leopardmon...

These weren't all the members of the Royal Knights, but they were the only Royal Knights currently serving under Yggdrasil.

Every one of them was at least as powerful as Belphemon Rage Mode!

Through the human world's internet, Yggdrasil had already learned how Mo Si defeated Belphemon. However, Yggdrasil wasn't a god who enjoyed chattering, so the details hadn't been shared with the Royal Knights.

Only after Sleipmon returned did the story spread among them.

Omnimon exclaimed in amazement, "That Angewomon actually defeated Belphemon? That's incredible!"

Although some Ultimate-level Digimon could rival those at the Ultimate Evolution level, Angewomon certainly wasn't among them.

In fact, Angewomon's overall abilities were fairly average among Ultimate-level Digimon. She could only perform beyond her usual limits when facing dark or evil Digimon.

It was still what people commonly called a type advantage.

Belphemon was indeed powerful and evil, but far too powerful and far too evil. Before him, an ordinary Ultimate Evolution-level Digimon was little more than a cub he could toy with at will.

As a holy knight formed by the fusion of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, Omnimon understood the gaps between different Ultimate Evolution-level Digimon very well. And Angewomon was only an Ultimate-level Digimon.

Even with a slight type advantage, she shouldn't have stood a chance against Belphemon.

By all rights, then, Angewomon should have had absolutely no hope of winning.

Yet the fact remained that Angewomon had won.

And she had won spectacularly, with just one arrow!

Leopardmon, whose extraordinary wisdom made him the Royal Knights' strategist, asked, "No matter how special she is, she couldn't possibly be that powerful. How exactly did she do it, Sleipmon?"

Sleipmon had learned how Mo Si defeated Belphemon afterward and had been deeply impressed. Now he spoke with admiration. "She awakened the Digisoul of tens of millions of people in the human world and gathered it all together. Even Magnamon couldn't withstand that kind of power."

Magnamon, the shortest of the knights, was left speechless.

What do you mean, I couldn't withstand it?

"Even Magnamon couldn't withstand it? Amazing! Hahaha!" UlforceVeedramon patted Magnamon's shoulder armor, producing a series of dull thuds.

Magnamon pushed UlforceVeedramon's large hand away in disgust.

Because Magnamon had the strongest defenses among the Royal Knights, hearing that "even Magnamon couldn't withstand it" gave all of them an immediate sense of just how powerful that arrow had been.

Those words acknowledged the defenses Magnamon took such pride in, so he was merely speechless, not angry.

Craniamon sighed. "So that's the power of humans."

"Tens of millions of humans joining forces. How beautiful!" Crusadermon smiled, holding a red rose between his fingers, seemingly imagining some scene.

Dynasmon nodded silently.

Gallantmon chuckled. "Remarkable!"

For some reason, he also felt that the move was a little familiar, but the feeling passed in a flash. It was probably just his imagination.

Sleipmon continued, "However, her proposal to Yggdrasil has increased our workload, and Yggdrasil accepted it. From now on, besides the Digital World, we'll also have to patrol the space-time barrier."

"Uh..."

The Royal Knights' opinion of Angewomon suddenly dropped back to its original level.

"Can't we give her more work?"

"There doesn't seem to be any suitable work for her at present."

"..."

Whatever the case, every Royal Knight remembered that special Angewomon.

Meanwhile, Mo Si took her Digimon underlings west from New York all the way to San Francisco, with dedicated staff arranging their meals, clothes, lodging, and transportation.

They ate and drank during the day, then played around at night. For instance, while she was receiving Venusmon's power...

Mo Si said, "The world's most dazzling goddess, the dream of countless people, is entirely in my hands."

Angewomon was utterly embarrassed. "Stop saying that. Please don't use words like 'dazzling' or 'dream.'"

Mo Si said earnestly, "When morality becomes hypocrisy, it is at its most obscene. When nudity becomes art, it is at its most sacred."

"Huh?" Angewomon froze at her words.

That made so much sense. It shook her to her core, and the more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

Mo Si continued, "Holding the world's dreams in your hands... the pleasure is beyond compare!"

Battle!

She was practically acting like a villain.

She had already saved the world. What was wrong with entertaining herself a little?

Keep the music playing, keep dancing!

With Ultimate Charm, even the pleasure was ultimate.

And because she had already obtained the possibility of Ultimate Evolution, entertaining herself wasn't merely enjoyable anymore. It also gave rise to new Ultimate Evolution possibilities.

[Lilithmon: 1%]

In addition, she tried wiping out gangs, hoping to increase her chance of evolving into Goldramon.

Of course, she didn't go in Angewomon's form. Instead, she received the Myotismon Soul and took on the Blood Queen's appearance to wipe them out. That way, she could eliminate the gangs without affecting her true form's reputation.

"Demon Blood Whip!"

The red whip lashed wildly, turning the site of a gang deal into a river of blood.

Ratatat!

Gunfire rang out without pause.

Bullets rained down on Mo Si. She dodged some and took the rest head-on.

Although she didn't have the steel body of a Cyborg-type or Machine-type Digimon, ordinary handgun bullets still couldn't hurt her.

Even her headlights merely bounced a few times without the skin breaking.

For ordinary bullets without Digisoul to hurt her, their power would have to increase tenfold!

Before long, only one gang boss remained.

Seeing that bullets didn't frighten her, the boss turned deathly pale.

But then he actually laughed. "Looks like I'm definitely going to die. Could you step on me with those long, shapely legs and those red-soled high heels?"

He stared fixedly at Mo Si's legs, his burning gaze full of yearning for them.

Who knew what hobbies he usually indulged in...

Mo Si smiled. "You've got good taste."

The boss smiled, too.

A kindred spirit!

"Trample me to death. Come on!" He turned around and dropped into a groveling bow, sticking his rear into the air.

"...But I refuse! Demon Blood Whip!"

Naturally, Mo Si didn't grant the boss's dying wish. One lash sent him off to reunite with his underlings.

But immediately afterward, Mo Si pressed a hand to her forehead and sighed softly. "He didn't forget his fetish even in the face of death. He was a scumbag, but when it comes to being a pervert, I think I lost."

Angewomon remarked, "That's not something worth sighing over, is it?"

If anything, it was a good thing.

Angewomon had always hoped Mo Si would become more normal and less perverted.

"Losing never feels good..." Mo Si diverted her attention and looked at the panel.

Unfortunately, her chance of evolving into Goldramon hadn't increased.

However, another Ultimate Evolution-level Digimon's name had appeared under Ultimate Evolution, meaning she had gained another evolution path to that level.
