The fierce battle began once again.
The two figures continuously collided in midair.
They crossed paths.
Collided.
Separated.
And then repeated the process.
As their intense battle continued, deafening explosions repeatedly echoed through the sky.
Every spectator in the stadium raised their head.
Their expressions were solemn as they watched the battle overhead.
In reality...
Both WarGreymon and Mewtwo were moving at such extreme speeds that ordinary human eyes couldn't follow their movements at all.
Even if the spectators stared as hard as they could...
All they could see were two figures, one golden and one white, flashing through the sky like meteors.
As for who held the advantage and who was falling behind?
They couldn't tell at all.
Among everyone present...
The only person who could probably see the actual state of the battle clearly...
Was Shiko.
At this moment, he watched everything with narrowed eyes and a calm expression.
To the spectators, the two combatants seemed to be exchanging only a blur of attacks.
But in reality...
They had already fought through thousands of exchanges.
During this high-intensity, high-frequency battle...
The two sides had initially been evenly matched.
Each attacked and counterattacked.
Neither could gain a decisive advantage.
But before long...
WarGreymon gradually began showing signs of fatigue.
And that was only natural.
WarGreymon's combat strength was currently evaluated at the level of a First-tier Legendary.
Even though he bore the name "War" and was a being seemingly born for combat...
His raw combat strength was still limited to that general level.
He was roughly comparable to beings such as Groudon and Kyogre.
The pinnacle of combat power confined to a single planet's surface.
But Mewtwo in its current state was different.
Its combat power had already been at the First-tier Legendary level to begin with.
And now...
The restraints imposed by its armor had completely disappeared.
In its berserk state, Mewtwo was able to fully unleash its potential.
Furthermore...
As the battle continued, Mewtwo was gradually learning WarGreymon's habits and fighting patterns.
If things continued like this...
WarGreymon's defeat was only a matter of time.
Sure enough...
After another several thousand exchanges...
Mewtwo finally caught a fleeting opening.
The next second—
Its figure suddenly disappeared.
Teleport!
Mewtwo appeared directly above WarGreymon.
Then...
It launched an attack from an angle WarGreymon had never expected.
Mewtwo extended one hand.
And pressed its palm directly against WarGreymon's head.
That move completely exceeded WarGreymon's expectations.
There was no time to react.
And even relying purely on instinct...
He couldn't find a way to escape.
Then came Mewtwo's attack.
Terrifying Psychic-type energy erupted like a surging tide.
Wave after wave piled upon one another.
Like enormous breakers crashing against the shore...
The energy slammed continuously into WarGreymon's body.
At such close range...
The devastating attack broke through WarGreymon's defenses almost instantly.
Mewtwo in its current state...
Unleashing a full-power, point-blank attack of its own type...
Even Shiko couldn't help giving a slight nod of approval at the resulting energy fluctuations.
Not bad.
This guy really was strong.
Shiko praised Mewtwo inwardly.
But even so...
That level of combat power was still nothing more than that in his eyes.
If Mewtwo wanted to actually threaten him...
It still had a very long way to go.
At this level...
If Shiko became even slightly serious...
He could defeat Mewtwo instantly.
The small amount of interest that had originally been stirred within him quickly faded.
Shiko himself had once been WarGreymon.
The desire to fight was something rooted deeply within his instincts.
It was innate.
That was why Mewtwo's display of strength had initially caught his interest.
But once Shiko calmed down...
And clearly understood Mewtwo's actual limits...
His enthusiasm disappeared.
What was the point of fighting an opponent he could defeat with one attack?
Fighting someone that much weaker wouldn't make the battle worthwhile.
Still...
Now that the battle had reached this stage...
WarGreymon probably couldn't hold on much longer.
Once he lost...
Would Shiko really have to personally enter the battle?
"Sigh..."
Shiko scratched his head.
As the strongest existence in the universe...
Personally dealing with Mewtwo felt somewhat beneath him.
Mewtwo had already surpassed ordinary surface-level combat power.
Finding a suitable opponent for something at this level really wasn't easy.
In that case...
Shiko frowned.
His gaze moved away from Mewtwo and returned to WarGreymon.
At this moment...
Cracks and dents had already appeared across WarGreymon's Chrome Digizoid Battle Armor after enduring Mewtwo's overwhelming attacks and energy impacts.
A battle that had initially been evenly matched...
Had now reached the point where WarGreymon could barely defend himself.
If this continued...
After another hundred exchanges or so...
WarGreymon would probably lose.
"I'll give you a hand."
A faint smile appeared on Shiko's face.
BOOM!!!
A deafening collision erupted through the sky.
The two figures clashed violently once again...
And separated.
This time...
Mewtwo retreated only a little over ten meters.
WarGreymon, however...
Was blasted backward dozens of meters.
Only after beating the metallic wings on his back did he manage to stabilize himself.
That exchange finally allowed the spectators below to clearly understand the situation.
WarGreymon...
Had fallen into a disadvantage.
For an instant...
Everyone's hearts tightened again.
Their anxiety surged to its highest point.
Everyone could clearly see Mewtwo's undisguised hatred toward humanity.
Once WarGreymon was defeated...
If no one remained capable of stopping Mewtwo...
It would undoubtedly begin massacring humans.
And the people currently sitting inside this stadium...
Would be among its first victims.
It wasn't only the ordinary spectators who were terrified.
The League executives inside the VIP area were equally tense.
