Chapter 266 The Gluttonous Beast King and His Doberman Beast
Snowflakes, as white as goose feathers, drifted down from the sky. Unbeknownst to many, a month had passed since Broly arrived in the Digital World.
During this time, Broly didn't rush to leave because the happiness level of the puppy beast was easy to increase.
He took over the orchard that the Guga Beast had previously occupied and settled down in this dense forest for the time being.
Every day at dawn, I would take my little dog out for a walk and look for food to eat that day.
The rather brutal Digimon that originally lived in this forest were now in dire straits, as any Digimon that was considered a bad guy by the dogmon would be targeted.
In just one month, Broly turned many ferocious Champion-level Digimon into fully mature Digimon near Kuwagamon's territory.
The physical body, which was the manifestation of external data, was devoured by Broly and the puppy beast, while the remaining core data was left to dissipate.
According to Puppymon, as long as the Digital Core is not destroyed, the Digimon that die will drift away and go to a place called the Village of Genesis.
The data core will reassemble into a Digimon egg there, and after a period of incubation, it will once again become a Baby Digimon of the Baby Stage 1.
"So, are those Digimon we ate actually still alive?"
Broly asked the question with the intention of eradicating evil completely, but the dog-like beast's answer made him abandon that idea.
"It's still alive, but it's more like a newborn, a Digimon baby that has been re-hatched. Its previous data has been wiped clean, and it basically has no memories of the time before it turned back into a Digimon egg."
And if they were to evolve again in the future, what form they would take is something no one knows.
After a Digimon dies, it will turn back into a Digimon egg in the Founding Village, but the Digimon baby that hatches is not related to the previous Digimon.
Of course, if the data at the time of death could be preserved, it should be able to remember what kind of Digimon it was before, but most dead Digimon cannot do this.
"Little Dog Beast, you're amazing! You know so much."
Having learned this information from the puppy-like creature, Broly was generous with his praise, making the puppy-like creature a little shy.
"I'm not actually that powerful. This information just naturally appeared in my head after I evolved into a puppy beast."
The evolution of Digimon seems to involve the inheritance of some knowledge; at least, Puppymon's head contains a lot of information.
It did not appear during the Meowmon stage, but gradually emerged after evolving into Puppymon.
As Broly listened to the little dog beast's description of the information in its own brain, it felt that the other party was somewhat similar to itself.
"Little Dog Beast, actually, some information occasionally pops into my head too."
"Really?"
"real."
"What kind of information is that?"
The little dog was very curious.
"For example, right now, what are you barking like a dog?"
The little dog beast: "???"
Broly's words deeply hurt it.
When the little dog was injured, Broly was also injured.
Because of a notification from Crystal Palace, the puppy's happiness level is decreasing.
What is a boomerang? This is what it's called.
Its rotation speed is so fast that it can be done in just one sentence.
Fortunately, Broly comforted and explained that it wasn't because he disliked the other person, and the little dog's happiness level returned to normal.
This false alarm made Broly realize that sometimes you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.
. . . .
It's a new day, but there are no more suitable Digimon to be used as food near Kuwagamon's territory.
"I'm planning to go somewhere farther away to see if there are any ferocious creatures. Little Dog Beast, do you want to come with me?"
Broly asked.
"No, I'd better stay here and pick fruit. If you can't find any prey, Abu, we can eat fruit to fill our stomachs."
The little dog refused. Its territory was only in this area, and it didn't know about other places. Following Broly wouldn't be of much help.
There's absolutely no need for Broly to fight or hunt. Broly can beat any Digimon it can beat, and Broly can beat any Digimon it can't beat.
Although it felt pretty good to lie down and be a pet dog, mooching food and drinks off Broly, the little dog always wanted to do something for the boy in return.
However, what can it do for Broly when it's only in its growth stage?
After thinking it over, the little dog could only think of helping to pick fruit.
"Then you must be careful about your safety while you stay here."
Broly instructed.
"I will."
The little dog nodded obediently.
Broly and Puppymon parted ways. Since this world is made up of data, the aura perception could hardly detect anything, and they didn't know where the Digimon were, so they just randomly chose a direction and flew away.
Broly quickly flew out of the orchard, and after he flew away, a rustling sound came from the bushes not far from the orchard.
. . . .
"The Gluttonous Beast King has left. What a good opportunity! Let's hurry and enter his territory."
A group of baby Digimon emerged from the bushes, led by a few rookie Digimon, and headed towards the fruit orchard.
"Everyone be careful. It seems that the Gluttonous King is not with his Doberman. If that hound is still guarding over in the orchard, it will be bad if it discovers us."
A bipedal, flower-shaped Digimon gave instructions to a group of baby Digimon around it.
"Floramon, what are you afraid of? The one who's powerful is Gluttonymon, not his hound. With so many of us Digimon together, even if we're discovered, we can work together to subdue him."
A green, long-skinned Digimon said.
"But we've been discovered this time. Next time, Insect Beast, will you dare to come here to pick fruit again?"
The Flower Beast asked.
"Uh, I wouldn't dare..."
The Insect Beast promptly admitted defeat.
"Since we don't dare to, we should all be careful in our actions and try not to be discovered if possible."
"However, Doberman Pinschers have a very keen sense of smell."
"It's okay, I'll use pollen to help mask everyone's scent."
The Flower Beast possesses the ability to manipulate pollen, which can be used as a means of attack or as a way to conceal its presence in the forest environment.
"Hidden pollen".
As Floramon opened its petal-shaped palm, it sprinkled hidden pollen onto the other Digimon.
The scent of other Digimon is almost identical to that of fruit trees.
"Move carefully, don't make too much noise, and try to pick as much fruit as possible."
A group of Digimon, led by Floramon, cautiously invaded the fruit orchard.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
The little dog was picking fruit inside the orchard when it suddenly smelled a pleasant fruity aroma.
Thinking there might be newly ripened fruit, Broly jumped down from a fruit tree to pick bigger and sweeter fruit for Broly.
Following the scents wafting in the air, we walked towards the edge of the orchard.
. . . .
"I'm going to sweep the fruit off the tree, so you'd better catch it."
A Palmon spoke to the other baby Digimon.
"no problem."
A group of baby Digimon answered.
"Keep your voice down."
The Flower Beast offered a reminder from the side.
"oh."
The voices of the young Digimon immediately dropped in volume.
"Highly poisonous ↑ Vines ↓..."
Under Floramon's somewhat stern gaze, Palmon, whose personality was rather unruly, also lowered his voice.
Vines stretched out from its fingertips, knocking some fruit off the tree, while a group of baby Digimon hopped and jumped below to catch them.
Just as a group of Rookie and Baby Digimon were working together to pick fruit from the tree, Puppymon arrived.
. . . .
Who are you?
The little dog asked.
This question nearly scared the group of Digimon who were stealing the fruit to death.
"Oh, it's a puppy beast!"
The stiff-bodied Palmon turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when it saw that it was a little puppy who spoke.
"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"
The little dog was puzzled.
"Little Dog Beast, you're here to pick fruit too, right?"
Flower Beast noticed the vine bag containing some fruit behind Little Dog Beast and asked.
"Um."
The little dog nodded; it was indeed picking fruit.
"Let's pick them together, that way we can get there faster."
Flower Beast suggested.
"Uh, okay, but I want big, sweet fruit."
The little dog thought for a moment and then nodded.
"That's really greedy, but fine, but you have to promise us that if any enemies appear later, you'll fight alongside us."
"Huh, are there any other enemies around here?"
The little dog asked, somewhat surprised.
"Don't you know?"
The flower beast was surprised by its surprise.
"What should I know?"
The little dog didn't understand.
"You should know that this is the territory of the Gluttonous Beast King."
Beside them, the Insect Beast chimed in.
"The Gluttonous Beast King?"
The little dog said it had never heard of it.
"Hey, you dared to come here to pick fruit without knowing anything?"
The other Palmon was utterly shocked.
"Stop talking nonsense. We need to buy time and get enough fruit before the Gluttonous Beast King returns."
Floramon urged them on, and together they started picking fruit with Puppymon. Once each Digimon's homemade bag was full of fruit, Floramon prepared to lead the group of Digimon away from the orchard.
"Little Dog Beast, aren't you leaving?"
When the Insect Beast realized that the Little Dog Beast behind it hadn't followed, it quickly stopped and turned around to ask.
"Where are we going?"
The little dog beast hadn't figured it out yet, but the fruit in its bag had already been replaced with larger fruits that had a much stronger fruity aroma.
"Where to go? Of course, we'll leave this place. Don't think that just because you're a small canine Digimon you can stay here. If you get found by Gluttonous King's hound, you'll be in trouble too."
"hound?"
"It's Dobermon. It's Gluttonmon's loyal henchman. Before, it led Gluttonmon, which suddenly appeared, to attack other Digimon everywhere. I heard that Gluttonmon would take the attacked Digimon back and eat them. It's a very terrifying existence."
The little dog beast: "..."
It had already realized what the Gluttonous Beast King that the Flower Beasts were talking about was.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
The little dog asked.
"What's wrong with you?"
"The incident of Dobermon and Gluttonmon attacking other Digimon."
"No mistake, these are the words of some lucky Digimon who escaped with their lives."
Balmon made a solemn vow.
"What did you say?"
"It is said that Gluttony is a demon-type Digimon that looks like a human child. It appeared in this dense forest to devour all the Digimon here, making it an extremely evil and terrifying being."
"Huh, so there are bad Digimon like this. But I don't think I've ever encountered one before."
Palmon sensed something was wrong; why had the sky suddenly gotten dark?
"Baromon, look up!"
The insect-like beast stammered a little and reminded him.
When Palmon looked up, a huge, drooping black dragon head came into view.
It wasn't that it was dark; rather, the enormous body of the ferocious Digimon Darkdramon blocked out the sky above.
However, the most dangerous one is not the other party. The most dangerous one is the boy who, with his extremely small size, is holding up the huge body of the Dark Dragon Beast with one hand, floating in the air below the unconscious Dark Dragon Beast.
"Hey, where's the Gluttonous Beast King you mentioned?"
Broly asked again.
"Clatter~"
Palmon's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, looking at him with a terrified expression: "Grumon-Grumon King!"
Broly: "???"
"Wait, if he's the Gluttonous Beast King, then who are you?"
Floramon realized what was happening and looked at Puppymon.
"I'm probably what you call a lackey, a 'Doberman Pinscher beast' in its prime."
The puppy-like beast in its growth stage was somewhat speechless, but still answered Floramon's question.
"Oh no, it was a trap, we're all going to be eaten..."
The Insect Beast was somewhat desperate.
The situation is similar for other baby Digimon.
The timid Mudbug and Seed Beast had already huddled together.
"What's wrong with them?"
Broly didn't understand the Digimon's reaction, so he asked Puppymon directly.
"They seem to think of you, Abu, as a villain who will devour other Digimon."
The little dog felt somewhat helpless. Although this was partly true, the truth was not quite like that.
"The bad guy is actually myself?"
Broly paused for a moment, then looked down at the three Rookie-level Digimon.
Palmon and Floramon are not worth mentioning; they are both plant-type Digimon, and they don't look appetizing at all.
On the contrary, the chubby insect-like creatures look plump and delicious.
The insect-beast's body trembled; the gaze of the apex predator put immense pressure on it.
"King of Gluttony, Bugmon doesn't taste good, please don't eat me, I beg you."
The insect-beast began to pray.
"I don't eat insect meat."
Broly blurted out, then added after realizing what he'd said, "I won't eat it for now, because I have dragon meat to eat today."
