Watching Leon sit on the wooden board with such a leisurely demeanor, Conan couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Leon, aren't You going to help these children?"
"Me?"
Leon pointed at Tyrannosaurusmon, who was stomping his feet furiously, and said, "I can't get involved in a battle of this level right now."
"Besides, the strength of these children is beyond your imagination. Just watch."
Conan's eyes were full of worry. No matter how strong they were, they were still just children around ten years old.
Just then, a dark shadow emerged from the ground and floated in mid-air. It was wearing a blue suit and a high-collared cape, looking like the legendary Dracula.
It wore a red eye mask, like a gentleman attending a masquerade, and its handsome face was very eye-catching.
Flying in the air, it looked down at Tai and the others and said, "I originally intended to deal with the eighth chosen child before coming to find You, but I didn't expect You to deliver yourselves to me."
Then, it turned its gaze to Kari, a cold smirk appearing on its face as it said, "This must be the eighth chosen child. You are much stronger than my useless subordinates."
"It's a pity she doesn't have an evolution key or a partner. Today, she is destined to die here... But don't worry, I will send You all on your way together."
Tai stood below, looking up at Vampiremon above him, and said, "Vampiremon, your conspiracy will never succeed. Go, Tyrannosaurusmon!!"
As he spoke, the evolution crest on Tai's chest once again emitted light.
Tyrannosaurusmon, accompanied by a golden light descending from the sky, super-evolved into Metalgreymon.
The other children also commanded their partners to join the battle. The light of evolution continuously lit up, and the battle immediately entered a white-hot stage.
From afar, Leon truly felt a surge of excitement watching this scene.
It was just that Conan next to him found it hard to accept the Digimon's evolution.
"Mr. Leon, can You tell me why a perfectly normal creature would put on armor? And how can it even fire cannonballs from its chest??"
"That cactus head blooming and a fairy appearing, is that a plant person?"
"Why would a round creature turn into an angel? Are these changes random?"
"And that dog stood up!!"
Leon looked at the nearly frantic Conan, then reached out and, using Mouri Kogoro's most common technique, struck Conan on the head. The familiar sensation instantly made Conan clutch his head and clear his mind.
"Feeling better?"
Conan, holding his head, said with tears in his eyes, "Much better, thank You."
"You're welcome."
Leon looked at the still-fighting Digimon and explained, "What You see are all Digimon. Don't just focus on the 'mon' part; the main part is 'Digi'—"
"Theoretically, they are not true living beings, but a materialized form of special data."
In fact, Leon is now also similar to a Digimon, except that his underlying logic is entirely composed of rules, while Digimon are merely beings born under those rules.
The difference between the two is like a globe and the Earth; although both have seven continents and eight oceans, who can say they are on the same level of existence?
"They, like animals and even humans, have infant, growth, and mature stages, and they can also die due to lifespan or injury."
"However, their infant, growth, and mature stages look completely different, and even their personalities can change."
"Just like the dog You mentioned that stood up, its growth stage is called Gabumon, its dog form is called Garurumon, and now that it's standing, it's called Weregarurumon. It can also have an ultimate evolution form, at which point it will be called Metalgarurumon."
"But no matter how they evolve, their memories remain their original memories. Perhaps some inherited memories will be added, but this will not affect their true nature..."
Conan was utterly confused, but he temporarily understood that these so-called Digimon were not normal living beings.
"Truly wondrous beings, even seeing them with my own eyes, I can't imagine..."
Conan looked at the angel flying in the sky with its wings spread, greatly surprised, and at the same time wondered if the angels recorded in history were also so-called Digimon.
"But... I somehow feel like the children's Digimon aren't strong enough to defeat that Vampiremon?"
Leon stood up, stretched his body, and chuckled, "No need to feel, they just can't win. Although they are all Ultimate Digimon, their strength varies."
Conan asked worriedly, "Mr. Leon, what should we do then?"
"Eight chosen children, don't You think there's one Digimon missing?"
"Are You talking about that cat?"
Leon looked at Digimon, who ran out from underground, holding the evolution crest in her mouth, and said:
"Exactly. The Conan show is over, and it's time for me to go give the children a buff."
With that, Leon snapped his fingers, and a wooden door appeared beside him. He opened the door, grabbed Conan by his clothes, and put him inside the wooden door, saying, "Alright, You just stand here and watch the show. Don't worry about me."
Vampiremon flew in the air and forcefully swung his cape. Countless bats emerged from the cape and attacked Metalgreymon.
The already heavily injured Metalgreymon was directly hit by Vampiremon's special move [Night Raid]. His massive body fell to the ground and couldn't get back up.
Tai called Metalgreymon's name with a worried expression, but alas... Metalgreymon, whose energy was severely depleted, simply couldn't get back up with sheer fighting spirit.
"Metalgreymon, pull yourself together!"
"Haha, it's useless. You are no match for me. Demon Blood Whip!"
A red energy whip appeared in Vampiremon's hand and quickly lashed out at Weregarurumon.
With a sharp crack, Weregarurumon was also knocked to the ground.
"You children, all of You will die today. No one can stop me from merging the worlds."
Just as he was about to attack the other Digimon again, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Digimon scurrying on the ground, holding the evolution key in her mouth.
This abnormal sight instantly put Vampiremon on alert, and he roared, "Digimon, You dare..."
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck him, and he said in shock, "No! You are the eighth chosen Digimon!!"
"Damn it, I should have killed You directly back then."
Digimon grabbed the crest and forcefully threw it towards Kari, shouting, "Kari, quickly catch the crest!!"
Terror rose in Vampiremon's heart, and he screamed, "Impossible!!! Night Raid!"
He quickly flapped his cape, and a large number of bats flew towards Kari.
Just then, a figure appeared between the bats and Kari. Leon held up a shield, like a towering mountain, blocking the impact of the bats.
Leon turned to look at the stunned Kari, a smile on his face, and said, "Take care of yourself, Kari..."
Bang! The shield shattered.
The remaining bats instantly crashed into Leon's body. In just a moment, Leon's body fell limply to the ground, turning into a thin mist that dissipated into the air with a gust of wind.
"Uncle!!"
Kari's holy plan and evolution crest emitted a brilliant light.
Digimon's body was instantly enveloped in sacred light, and the summoned demon bats instantly melted away.
