Chapter 152: Accidental and Integrated Evolution

The entry of Black Dorugreymon instantly caught Omegamon's attention.
After all, it was the specific target designated by Yggdrasil.
As for the other Digimon, they were utterly insignificant in Omegamon's eyes.
Even so, Omegamon remained perplexed as to why Yggdrasil cared so deeply about this particular Digimon.
Judging by its strength, Omegamon could easily tell that even now, having evolved into the Ultimate level, it was still no match for the Royal Knights.
Therefore, Omegamon wanted to figure out what significance this Digimon held that made World Tree care about it to such a degree.
Omegamon was curious—unusually and rarely curious about the Digimon before it.
It almost felt as if something within that creature was drawing it in.
Abandoning its current battle with Tekomon and Venusmon, Omegamon charged straight toward Black Dorugreymon.
"Metal Meteor!"
Black Dorugreymon conjured a massive metallic sphere and hurled it directly at Omegamon.
However, an Ultimate-level attack could hardly pose any threat to Omegamon. With a casual swing of its Grey Sword, the giant metal sphere was sliced cleanly in half.
"Dorugreymon!"
Seeing Omegamon close in rapidly on Dorugreymon, Qin Fei shouted anxiously.
Black Dorugreymon watched Omegamon rushing toward it without the slightest trace of fear. Its spear-like tail lashed out, attempting to engage in close-quarters combat.
Yet, Omegamon simply side-stepped to effortlessly evade the strike.
Immediately afterward, Omegamon put away its Grey Sword, raised its leg, and delivered a powerful kick that sent Black Dorugreymon plummeting from the sky.
Observing Omegamon's combat style, Qin Fei's gaze flickered slightly. This certainly did not match its previous behavior.
Had it used the Grey Sword just then, Black Dorugreymon's injuries would have been far worse than what that single kick caused.
At that moment, countless white birds suddenly materialized, rushing into Omegamon's field of vision and briefly obstructing its sight.
Following closely, a pitch-black scythe materialized by Omegamon's neck, only to be parried by the Grey Sword, which Omegamon had anticipated all along.
It was a coordinated attack by Tekomon and Venusmon.
"Doru...mon, are you alright?"
Tekomon appeared instantly by Omegamon's side, channeling all her strength to blast it backward.
Though she did not know what to call Black Dorugreymon in its Ultimate form, as a companion, she still wanted to protect it.
"..."
"Tekomon seems to retain Lolo's memories, but why does she lose them every time she degenerates back into Lolo?"
Seeing the genuine concern Tekomon showed for Black Dorugreymon, Qin Fei felt a brief flash of confusion. However, he quickly suppressed the thought; this was hardly the time for pondering such mysteries, especially with Omegamon still glaring at them like a predator eyeing its prey.
"Card Slash! Phantomon!"
Qin Fei swiped another card across his Digivice, and Tekomon's figure vanished from the spot with a visible shimmer.
"Is this the power of another world? Rather interesting..."
Watching the place where Tekomon had disappeared, Omegamon suddenly brought its arms together. Red and blue energies gathered in the palms beneath its dragon and wolf mouths, charging up instantly...
"Garuru-Grey Cannon!"
At Omegamon's soft command, the red-and-blue shockwave erupted outward from its target point, sweeping across the surroundings. It not only forced the invisible Tekomon out of stealth but also knocked Black Dorugreymon crashing to the ground once more.
"As expected of Omegamon, one of the Royal Knights. Have we truly run out of options?"
Watching his Digimon partners gradually lose the upper hand, Qin Fei knew that despite fighting Omegamon for so long, everyone had reached their absolute limit.
Even with the combined forces of the Ultimate-level Venusmon and Tekomon—whose power surpassed ordinary Ultimate levels—they still could not prevail against Omegamon.
"Is there any other way to boost our combat power?"
"Wait? Could this...?"
Witnessing Omegamon's overwhelming dominance, Qin Fei's anxious mind suddenly caught sight of the third-generation Digivice clutched tightly in his hand.
"I have to try."
Clenching his teeth, Qin Fei poured his ultimate Digisoul into the device just as he had done before.
He wanted to see if he could help Tekomon break through her Ultimate level and successfully evolve into a Mega level.
Lolo's Digivice was much gentler than the Digivice, never exhibiting any signs of going out of control, which was why Qin Fei dared to take such a bold risk.
"It's not working?"
Yet, no matter how much Digisoul Qin Fei poured into it, Lolo's Digivice remained as unresponsive as if it were on standby.
Just as Qin Fei was about to give up, the pocket containing the Digivice suddenly burst forth with a series of blinding lights.
"What... what is happening?"
A deeply bizarre phenomenon unfolded right before Qin Fei's eyes.
Seemingly influenced by the Digivice, a familiar surge of electrical current suddenly crackled across the third-generation Digivice in Qin Fei's hand, nearly frightening him into dropping it.
Then, the Digivice slowly floated out of Qin Fei's pocket. Moments later, the arc-wrapped third-generation device was also lifted into the air by an inexplicable force...
Watching the two Digivices slowly drift toward each other, Qin Fei was left at a loss.
All of this had transcended his understanding.
Screen facing screen, current meeting light... It was as if they wanted to merge the data contained within both Digivices into one.
"What should I do? Should I pull them apart?"
Qin Fei extended his trembling hands, hesitating as if afraid to touch them.
Yet, glancing at his partners locked in fierce combat with Omegamon in the distance, Qin Fei gritted his teeth and resolutely grabbed both Digivices in his hands.
The instant Qin Fei made contact with them, an unexpected miracle occurred.
Bridged by the Digisoul flowing within his body, the two Digivices were truly beginning to fuse together slowly...
"Lolo! Dorugreymon!"
Qin Fei looked up in a panic. Sure enough, blinding digital auras erupted from both Tekomon and Black Dorugreymon simultaneously—undeniable signs of impending fusion!
"Why is this happening...?"
Fear began to grip Qin Fei's heart; he did not want Lolo to transform into someone unrecognizable.
However, the two Digivices in his hands acted like magnets, locking onto Qin Fei's very body and making it impossible to pull them apart.
At last, the transformation of Lolo and Black Dorugreymon commenced.
The two streams of light belonging to Tekomon and Black Dorugreymon merged into one.
Qin Fei's expression grew anxious.
Omegamon and Venusmon also halted their battle, watching the surreal spectacle unfold.
"..."
Dai Manda and the others nearby wore expressions of sheer incomprehension.
"Roar—!"
The first sound to reach everyone's ears was a majestic roar reminiscent of a gigantic dragon.
Just when Qin Fei assumed the fusion would yield a beast-type Digimon, however, the first thing that materialized before his eyes was a magnificent black knight's lance nearly ten meters in length.
Wielding that gorgeous lance was a female arm covered in fine, dense dragon-scale armor.
Colossal dragon wings tore through the light of evolution.
Clad in dragon-scale armor, a dashing and heroic female figure slowly appeared before Qin Fei's eyes. With one hand she firmly grasped the reins, while the other hand reversed its grip on the nearly ten-meter-long lance, her silver hair fluttering in the wind...
A massive, graceful black dragon with outspread wings carried the female Digimon, who had now transformed into a dragon knight...
"I am Dragon-Rider-Kewmon."
Looking toward Omegamon, the female Digimon atop the dragon's back introduced herself with a calm, emotionless expression. With a gentle sweep of her knight's lance, the previously stabilized space seemed to ripple once again with unsettling turbulence.
