Takuya Kanbara has decided to stop being human.

"Fire God Beast!"

After opening its ancestral Digital World Encyclopedia and confirming the identity of Valkyriemon, Bokomon excitedly shouted, "Celebrate! The embodiment of the firewall, the warrior of fire—Valkyriemon, who inherits the power of the ancient ten warriors, is born at this moment!"

Legend has it, evolution has begun...

"Outrageous! Outrageous! A mere human has become a Digimon!" Salubimon was so angry that it jumped up and down, baring its teeth and claws, and roared as it pounced on Vulcanmon.

With a calm gaze, the Vulpix swept its left hand across its front, leaving a wall of fire that blocked Salammon's vision. At the same time, it clenched its right fist and swung it hard, slamming it into Salammon's chin.

Bang!

With a deafening bang, the Salubimon was sent flying into the air.

"Amazing power!" Vulcan looked at its right fist. The armor on the back of its wrist had three nozzles that could spray high-temperature flames and generate powerful thrust similar to rocket boosters.

Similar structures can be found in the shoulders, knees, and ankles.

Armament evolution is not just about changes in appearance; it also involves radical internal changes.

At this moment, he is both a Digimon and a human.

Digimon's sensory abilities far surpass those of humans. For example, Vulcanmon can clearly hear the heartbeats of Izumi Orimoto, Junpei Shibayama, and Tomoki Himi, and can also see how many teeth Salubimon has in its mouth. It can also sense the temperature, humidity, and flow rate in the atmosphere.

"Let me see my limits. Don't let me defeat you so easily," the Vulpimon thought to itself, staring at Salammon.

At this moment, Salubimon, which had been sent flying backward, adjusted its body in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground. Its ferocious nature as a Virus-type meant that being defeated by a single blow from Venusamon was a great humiliation for it.

Can't stand it!

"As long as I lure him into the Gates of Hell, I can destroy him. I am the Cerberus, and I am invincible within the Gates of Hell," thought Salubimon. "Defeat him, and the Fighter Spirit will be mine!"

However, the Fire Beast stood quietly in place, showing no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

A gentle breeze ruffled the Fire God Beast's long golden hair; he remained calm and composed.

Shouldn't the warriors of fire be a little more impulsive?

The Fire Beast says no, that's your prejudice.

Flames can burn quietly, only to erupt when necessary.

Finally, Salubimon couldn't hold back any longer and opened its mouth to spew out a large patch of green flames.

"Watch out! That's hellfire!" Bogomon shouted.

Hellfire is extremely hot and can melt steel in an instant.

Upon hearing this, the Fire God Beast's expression shifted slightly.

"You can't hide, or the child behind you will die a horrible death!" Shalubmon laughed maniacally.

The Fire God Beast stood still, facing the hellfire head-on without dodging or flinching.

Boom! The green flames instantly engulfed the Fire God Beast.

“It’s over…” Bokomon’s face turned ashen. The savior that the Digital World had finally produced was gone just like that.

Salubimon laughed loudly: "Since you're really not going to dodge, then turn to ashes in my hellfire! I'll accept your spirit of fire warrior!"

Within the green flames, an arm clad in red armor rose and with a casual flick, the green hellfire was instantly extinguished, like a flame in a storm.

"How is this possible!" Salubimon cried out in disbelief.

The armor of the Fire Beast was as shiny as new, and even its waist-length, frizzy golden hair had no scorch marks.

He could accept it if the Fire God Beast was just alive.

There are many Digimon that can't be killed by Hellfire, but Vulcanmon is the first to emerge unscathed from Hellfire.

Why is this?

"I am a warrior of fire, how could hellfire possibly burn me?" Fire God Beast muttered to himself. If he were burned by flames, could he still be called "Fire God Beast"?

The Fire Warrior is the nemesis of all fire-type Digimon.

"The flames will only make me stronger."

With an indifferent expression, Vulpimon walked step by step toward Salammon.

Suddenly, the Shalbimon smiled, revealing that he had a backup plan. His eyes emitted beams of green light that exploded in the air, creating circular spatial rifts.

On the other side of the spatial rift, all was pitch black.

The Salubimon sneered, "With our power, once we start fighting, this Flame Terminal will be destroyed. And there is infinite space inside, so let's settle this battle there."

"No! That's the gate to hell! You mustn't fall in!" Bogomon cried.

Salubimon glared fiercely at Bokomon. The plan to lure Vulcanmon into the gates of hell was ruined by a single sentence from Bokomon, a piece of trash Digimon.

At this moment, Salubimon wished it could eat Pokomon.

Why would a fiend like Vulcan be afraid of a challenge in order to test its limits? After hearing Bokomon's words, it became interested and walked straight into the Gates of Hell.

"Hahaha, you ignorant brat, how dare you go to the Gates of Hell to fight me? You're courting death!" Shalbimon laughed loudly, then transformed into a black light and rushed into the Gates of Hell.

The world inside the Gates of Hell is pitch black, effectively stripping everyone of their sight. Vulcan can see nothing but darkness here.

Outside, Izumi and her two companions ran over and asked, "Where did Takuya go?"

Bogomon scratched his head in distress and said, "He's entered the Gates of Hell. He might never come out again... I told him he couldn't go, why didn't he listen to me!"

……

Inside the Gates of Hell

The Fire God Beast asked, "The Gates of Hell, is it truly a gateway to Hell?"

Or, to put it another way, does hell exist in the digital world?

When a Digimon dies, it either becomes data or is reborn as a Digi-Egg. Is there really a need for something like Hell?

You'll find out after you die.

In the darkness, the voice of Salubimon came from all directions. He was a hellhound living in the Gates of Hell. The darkness blocked the vision of others, but it could not block his.

The Vulcan remained calm. Although it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, he could still easily sense the location of Salubimon.

An attack is coming!

Salubimon's limbs are equipped with claws made of Chrono Digizoid, which are extremely sharp, and being hit by one is definitely not pleasant.

So while Salammon was attacking, Venusaur controlled the flame jets on its body and used the impact of the flame bursts to make short-distance horizontal movements.

"Avoided it? Coincidence, it's just a coincidence."

Seeing that its attack had missed, the Sharubi beast adjusted its mindset and attacked again.

The second time, the third time, the fourth time...

After several rounds of attacks, Venusaur dodged them all without exception. Salammon couldn't deceive himself anymore. He didn't know why Venusaur could sense the direction of his attacks. Venusaur could have countered, but instead it swung around like a dog on a leash. Salammon felt insulted.

"This is outrageous! You dare to play me for a fool!"

Salubimon's mentality exploded, and in its rage, it underwent a transformation, changing from being on all fours to standing upright on two legs, and its forelimbs transformed into arms with two dog heads, incredibly muscular.

Salubimon - Werewolf Mode!

Knowing that the darkness within the Gates of Hell had no effect, Salubimon launched a direct attack, unleashing powerful fighting techniques.

The Vulcan blocked the frenzied attack of the Werewolf Salammon and said, "Don't get me wrong, I wasn't messing with you, I was just testing my limits. Now the result is in, you can't get me to my limit."

Listen, is this human speech?

Salubimon was furious; this was clearly not taking him seriously!

"The test is over. Now, come and undergo purification (physical)."

"Fire Dragon Blazing Fist!"

Flames coiled around his fists, and the Fire Beast unleashed ten punches in a Muay Thai style, landing on Salubimon's abdomen and cheeks—soft spots or areas prone to concussion.

The Fire Beast has the characteristics of a fighter, and Takuya Kanbara has also studied fighting techniques for a long time in order to prepare for this moment. The combination of the two complements each other perfectly.

The Salubimon was overwhelmed and was knocked out of the data stream.

"Why haven't the gates of hell opened yet?"

The Vulpimon realizes it's still inside the Gates of Hell. Logically, after defeating Salammon, the Gates of Hell should open...

Chapter Three: Meeting the Final Boss?

Inside the Gates of Hell, Vulcan waited until the data stream on Salammon disappeared. Salammon recovered from its unconscious state and immediately saw Vulcan, which startled it so much that it took three steps back.

The Fire God Beast said without room for argument, "Open the gates of hell."

Salubimon was taken aback. After looking around and understanding the situation, it burst into laughter: "Too late. After I transformed into werewolf mode, I lost the ability to open the gates of hell. I can survive here, while you can stay here until you die!"

Then, Salubimon's tone changed abruptly: "Unless... you give me the Fighter Spirit!"

Even now, he still covets the Fighter Spirit. However, once he hands over the Fighter Spirit, Vulcan will degenerate into Takuya Kambara, and then he will be at the mercy of others.

Salubimon felt it had a great advantage and sneered, "Either wait to die, or hand over your fighting spirit to me. Choose!"

The Vulcan Beast raised its fist: "Only children make choices."

Bang!

As he spoke, he punched the Sandy Beast in the eye socket.

“Saviors are never chosen.” Vulcan waved his hand. “I think you’ve misunderstood the situation. Now do you understand what I mean?”

The Sandy Beast nodded repeatedly.

"Open the gates of hell," said the Fire God Beast.

"I really don't have that ability anymore," Salubimon said softly.

After mutating into werewolf mode, Salubimon enhanced its fighting abilities but lost the ability to open the Gates of Hell.

It's like trading authority for combat power.

The Fire God Beast narrowed its eyes. "If that's the case, what use are you?"

Salubimon sensed a killing intent and shivered. He quickly said, "But I can take you out of the Gates of Hell, which connect to the dark areas of the Digital World. I can take you out."

Despite saying that, a wicked thought still arose in his mind: "Let that lord deal with you!"

Although Salammon was initially "naughty," its attitude improved considerably after being beaten up, and Venusaurmon, led by Salammon, headed towards the "outer" side of the dark area.

Along the way, they encountered a large canyon with a floating sphere in the center. It seemed to be a cage, in which a pure white Digimon was imprisoned. It was shaped like a child, with mysterious blue tattoos on its body and twelve wings on its back. Such a sacred being, what sins had it committed to be imprisoned in this dark abyss?

The Vulcan stood at the edge of the canyon, gazing at the spherical cage in the distance.

"This isn't the so-called outer area," his intuition told him, and it was also warning him that this place was dangerous.

Inside the cage, the childlike Digimon opened its eyes, revealing a pair of light blue eyes, devoid of light, yet sharp in gaze. To meet its gaze was like falling into an icy hell.

The Fire Beast suddenly felt a thorn in its side and turned to look in the direction of the Salammon, only to find that the Salammon had already disappeared.

However, upon closer inspection, one can still sense that the aura of the Salubimon is not far away.

I'll deal with you later!

"The Ten Warriors..." Lucemon looked coldly at Vaporeon, his tone revealing a hint of contempt, and his eyes filled with disdain, "You dare to come to the center of the Dark Area all by yourself? Should I call you foolish, or courageous?"

While others fight their way to the final boss one level at a time, Takuya Kanbara actually encountered the final boss after defeating just one elite monster. Whether that's a blessing or a curse is hard to say.

The Vulcanmon muttered, "Is this the central area? It seems Salammon is doing this on purpose, trying to use someone else to do his dirty work."

The two were far apart, yet they could hear each other clearly, all thanks to the Digimon's sensitive senses.

In fact, although Digimon have such high talents, there are not many people who can properly master these abilities. Anyone who can master these powers is an outstanding Digimon who can bring Digimon's power to its extreme, or even surpass the limit. They may not be very strong, but they are definitely very difficult to deal with.

Both Vulcanmon and Lucemon realized that the other was that kind of person.

If they are enemies, they will definitely be very difficult to deal with.

The Ten Warriors are the archenemies of Lucemon; this is a consequence sown in ancient times.

Lucemon already disliked Firegodmon, and upon discovering Firegodmon's extraordinary talent, it immediately harbored murderous intent.

This child cannot be allowed to live!

"Come closer," the Light Beast called out.

Because he is sealed, his power only extends to this canyon. As long as the Fire God Beast enters the canyon, he can destroy it with his invincible power.
