"Hm?"
When Regidrago saw Shiko take this stance, it was instantly dumbfounded.
It had never expected things to reach this point.
The situation had not developed according to the script it had imagined at all.
Regidrago stared at Shiko in confusion, completely unable to understand what he was about to do next.
It could never have imagined that Shiko's target this time was not Regidrago itself.
He had attacked it only because he had taken a liking to the energy crystals on its body.
Holding the whole piece of energy crystal he had cut off, Shiko slowly walked over to the enormous hammer.
He still remembered it.
Back when he had absorbed Regidrago's energy here, he had also absorbed the energy contained within this giant hammer along the way.
As a tool Regigigas had used to create Legendary Pokémon, this hammer contained a considerable amount of incomparably pure Steel-type energy.
And now, Shiko was going to try to do the same thing as Regigigas.
Using this tool, he would create an entirely new being from nothing.
The hammer was somewhat large.
It was more than two meters long, almost no different from WarGreymon's height.
With that size, only a powerfully built Pokémon like Regigigas could use it freely.
Fortunately, Shiko's strength was powerful enough.
He reached out, grasped it, and lifted the giant hammer.
Holding the enormous hammer in one hand and the severed energy crystal in the other, Shiko changed positions and arrived before the massive anvil.
He placed the energy crystal on it.
Then, gripping the hammer, Shiko poured Steel-type energy into it.
The dull, bright-silver hammer once again began to shine with a brilliant luster.
Clang!!
A heavy hammer blow fell.
A large spray of sparks burst outward.
Under Shiko's forceful strike, the crystal underwent a considerable deformation.
As expected of a tool used by Regigigas!
Shiko sighed in admiration inwardly.
That strength and hardness were truly extraordinary.
Shiko increased his rhythm.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!
He continued hammering the crystal with wild, relentless strikes.
Under the barrage of countless hammer blows, the shape of that energy crystal had already changed considerably.
Moreover, perhaps because the energy inside Shiko's body was being transmitted through the silver-white hammer into that energy crystal, the crystal that had originally been only the size of a fist, after being repeatedly tempered, actually became larger than a human head.
In the end, it turned into a large sphere with a diameter of more than fifty centimeters.
And because he had infused his own energy into it, Shiko could clearly sense that a faint connection now existed between himself and this energy crystal.
After hammering it for a while longer, Shiko shaped that energy crystal into the form he wanted.
Its outline and appearance already bore some resemblance to Agumon.
That was right.
Shiko wanted to use this energy crystal to create Agumon, a being that did not exist in this world.
Once the shape and appearance were complete, Shiko began trying to turn this pure energy crystal into a brand-new lifeform.
Through that faint, unseen connection, he began modifying the energy crystal.
The moment the connection was established, he keenly sensed that the energy of the World Origin Fragment inside his body resonated with this crystal.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shiko's expression brightened with joy.
He immediately followed that sensation and continued operating!
