In the oceanic abyss resembling a bottomless pit, streams of pitch-black energy gathered into a swirling vortex, endlessly pouring inward…
…Earlier, MetalSeadramon's life-and-death struggle against Zero had brought him to the brink of death—such a close brush with mortality was itself a way of surpassing one's limits.
Later, his deep collaboration with Machinedramon provided invaluable Ultimate-level research data. For Machinedramon, such data was incredibly precious.
Their cooperation proceeded swiftly. After undergoing extensive modifications, all that remained between them and the final "step" was the finishing touch.
And now, the Digimon Kaiser personally placed this last missing piece into the puzzle—the emotions of humans could influence Digimon and grant them power.
The root of emotional resonance was none other than "empathy" itself…
…Both the Digimon Kaiser and MetalSeadramon had suffered bitter defeats at Zero's hands. Thus, the desire for "revenge" truly resonated deeply within that moment.
Consequently, as the Digimon Kaiser's Dark D-3 Digivice shone brightly, MetalSeadramon, thoroughly absorbing this wave of negative emotions, finally shattered his last shackles…
From the deep abyss at the seabed exploded a black tornado!
Almost simultaneously, the entire Undersea City trembled violently, accompanied by an urgent alarm blaring throughout.
"Enemy attack… Enemy attack!!!"
The Digimon guarding the Undersea City let out agonized cries, which were abruptly silenced mid-sentence as a crimson energy blast, slithering like a poisonous serpent, decisively crushed the city's outer defensive forces.
Hajime's breath swept away the trash mobs, clearly revealing the entirety of the Undersea City to Zero's group.
It was a sprawling complex of structures stretching across the seabed, above which hovered a gigantic metallic ring, emitting an eerie glow in the pitch-dark ocean depths.
The metal ring's emitted light formed a kind of protective shield, isolating the immense water pressure and sheltering the city beneath…
Within the city, a series of phosphorescent bluish-white lights intertwined, combining with the shield's eerie glow to resemble the legendary beauty of the undersea Ryugu Palace…
Of course, no matter how beautiful it looked, this city was still one of the infamous Dark Army's bases. No courtesy needed here.
Hajime unleashed another breath attack, this time directly aimed at the metal ring generating the shield.
This strike hit squarely, causing a blinding electric discharge from the ring. The powerful shockwave stirred the waters into turbulent chaos!
Nearby Ocean Legion Digimon rushing to reinforce were caught unprepared, dragged helplessly into the turbulence and meeting their demise.
Yet the metallic ring itself, despite taking a direct hit from a Mega-level attack, showed merely a thin crack. Its absurd resilience startled even Zero.
Damn, don't tell me this thing's made from Chrome Digizoid mixed with something else?
If true, this massive ring stretching thousands of kilometers beneath the sea must have burned through a terrifying amount of Chrome Digizoid. Truly, wealth gone mad…
Zero's lips twitched at the thought, yet he swiftly prepared himself.
"Rina, Taichi… I'm counting on you!"
The Crest of Courage burst with light, and Zero swiftly transformed into WarGreymon, clasping both hands together without hesitation as a blazing energy rapidly condensed between his palms.
"Eat this—[TERRA FORCE]!!!"
Zero raised his hands above his head, the blazing energy forming a dazzling sun-like sphere. At the same time, Hajime began charging another crimson breath attack.
"Here we go!"
The combined Mega-level strike of Gaia Force and Hajime's breath attack would normally be unstoppable under these conditions.
Yet precisely at this moment, from the dark abyss deep within the Undersea City erupted another black tornado, from which an enormous dragon-like figure spiraled upward.
Countless blue-white energy projectiles exploded forth from its colossal body.
As the projectiles swept forward, the dragon opened its massive jaws…
…In the next instant, the sea itself split in two as a dark energy beam tore through the underwater space, blasting straight forward!
This energy stream first shattered Hajime's breath, then collided directly with Zero's Terra Force.
Penetrating through the heart of Zero's attack, the energy beam weakened slightly, yet it didn't stop, continuing its path straight towards Zero and Hajime.
Zero instantly deployed the Brave Shield. Its two halves snapped together, blazing with flames and clearly displaying the Crest of Courage, shielding both himself and Hajime.
Immediately afterward, the dark energy collided with the Brave Shield, while simultaneously, the dense swarm of blue-white energy projectiles converged from all directions!
Visibility in the underwater space instantly dropped to zero, as dense bubbles and swirling currents obscured all light, creating a terrifying void beneath the sea.
This turbulence lasted for over ten seconds. When it finally settled somewhat, the Brave Shield's glow continued to shine brightly.
Fortunately, this shield's defense proved reliable, and neither Zero nor Hajime was harmed. Still, the power of that last attack left Zero feeling pressured.
"Damn, when'd he suddenly get this strong?"
Zero's gaze locked onto the source of the assault, while a voice like rolling thunder echoed with an accompanying shockwave.
"…Haha, you can rely on human power to grow stronger—why can't we? Now that we've mastered the secret behind your growth, you no longer stand a chance!"
Clearly, in the Dark Masters' and the Dark Army's eyes, the reason Zero had become so strong in such a short time was solely due to humans' aid, along with the cheats provided by the management host.
Now, the Dark Masters had successfully corrupted the Chosen Child Ken Ichijouji, transforming him into the Digimon Kaiser. As the Dark Army's fifth commander, he now provided this power to the Dark Masters as well.
With both sides' advantages effectively neutralized, victory would now depend purely on raw power.
Naturally, the Dark Masters believed they, veteran Mega Digimon, could never lose to Zero—a mere newcomer who relied on cheats to break the Mega Barrier.
With this confident declaration, the black tornado dissipated, revealing the full form of the dragon-like entity.
MetalSeadramon had undergone even further mechanical modifications, achieving an even higher level of mechanization than before.
Every part of his body had been replaced by reinforced Chrome Digizoid, showcasing a "damn-I'm-rich" style from head to tail…
…An ultra-heavy-class aerial battleship-carrier, capable of combat both underwater and in the skies!
Combining a battleship's heavy firepower with an aircraft carrier's capacity, capable of deep-sea and high-altitude warfare, he represented the epitome of the Metal Empire's philosophy…
…GigaSeadramon!
Yet unlike typical GigaSeadramon, whose defining trait was a blindingly gaudy golden hue, this one's alloy had a distinctly blue-gray tone.
Given the unusual strength displayed, Zero instantly thought of another name—
…ChaosSeadramon!
Combining both identities, the full name of this monstrosity would be—ChaosGigaSeadramon!
Having fully absorbed the Digivolution power unleashed by the Digimon Kaiser's negative emotions through the Dark D-3 Digivice, and further enhanced by the Metal Empire, this was truly the sea's sovereign…
A completely new form never before recorded in Seadramon's Digivolution lineage, unquestionably surpassing typical Mega-level—a manifestation of true "calamity"!
A peerless iron god crafted by the Metal Empire, its very existence heralded disaster!
Zero remained silent for a few seconds, quickly regaining his composure.
The enemy's strength had indeed skyrocketed beyond expectations, but what needed to be done hadn't changed. Even in this heavily mechanized form, it retained the "Dragon" attribute within its data.
As long as that attribute existed, it remained vulnerable to the Dramon Killers. With the right opportunity, that critical strike was still viable.
But getting close enough this time would undoubtedly be difficult…
…ChaosGigaSeadramon had fully emerged, its enormous tail lightly sweeping to create a powerful whirlpool, drawing in nearby Ocean Legion Digimon.
Before they even understood what was happening, they had already been entirely "collected" into ChaosGigaSeadramon's body.
Originally built as a versatile amphibious assault vessel, now heavily upgraded, it remained an unmatched mobile fortress!
It no longer needed the Undersea City—its DigiCore possessed enough data storage to host the entire Ocean Legion internally.
Wherever it moved would become the Ocean Legion's stronghold, a true mobile fortress…
Every Digimon aboard served as an artillery turret, making its firepower unquestionably overwhelming.
The city was now emptied of minions, leaving only the monstrous Chaos Dragon looming ahead.
"Since this Undersea City has become useless… let it become your tomb!!!"
