There are two reasons for this: one is that Takuya Kanbara learned the gigantification technique from the fifth Royal Knights, and the other is that he absorbed the geothermal energy that dissipated to the ground.
Everyone could clearly feel the surrounding temperature rapidly returning to normal, except for the area around the Flame Dragon Beast, which remained hot.
After the excess geothermal heat is absorbed, this place will become lush and green in a few decades.
"I'll go and get used to the power first."
After saying this, the Flame Dragon Beast shook its fiery wings, and countless fire scales scattered, as beautiful as fireworks.
"Wait for me."
Jeanne d'Arc flapped her wings and jumped onto the back of the Flame Dragon Beast's neck.
"Sit still," the Flame Dragon Beast instructed, then rode the wind and soared into the sky.
Although Flame Dragon Beast did not go berserk, he still needed to unleash its power like Genji Minamoto, only in this way could he gain a better understanding of Flame Dragon Beast's power.
After transforming from a human into a dragon, he can control his wings to fly and his tail to swing, all of which are novel sensations that Takuya Kanbara, as a human, has never experienced before.
“Wow!”
"Takuya is very happy."
"Because the feeling of flying with wings is very comfortable."
Flamedramon isn't very fast; at least it can't easily reach supersonic speeds like Silverwolfmon. Flamedramon's speed is comparable to that of a civilian airplane.
Ascending to the troposphere at an altitude of 16 kilometers, the wind howls, and everything on the ground appears as small as an ant. Looking up, the end of the continent is still nowhere in sight.
"Can you breathe?" the Flame Dragon Beast asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I can fly into space without any problem." This is no exaggeration, after all, Jeanne d'Arc is no ordinary person.
call!call!call!
Flamedramon confidently continued to increase its altitude, flying over the ozone layer. Along the way, it saw many bird-like Digimon living in the high sky, but after seeing Flamedramon's size, they all kept their distance, thinking they couldn't afford to mess with it.
Without the ozone layer to filter it, the sun's radiation fell on him, but he didn't feel any discomfort. The solar radiation in the digital world seemed to be somewhat different from that in the human world.
Looking down at the earth, he saw that the ground was full of holes, and the entire Digital World looked like cheese that had been gnawed on by mice. Those holes were the areas where Cherubimon had taken data.
Each cavity was pitch black, like a path leading to an abyss.
In fact, it leads to a dark area.
To the west, a piece of land was shrouded in black mist, with rose-colored lasers emanating from it. This must be the Dark Continent, beneath the rose-colored star.
In the north-central part of the land, there is a vast expanse of green land, upon which stands a crystal-clear building—the castle of Seraphimon, the final stop of the forest.
In the south of the land, there is a colorful sea of flowers, and on it stands an ancient castle, the castle of the Holy Angewomon.
The Flame Dragon Beast was high in the sky, so it could only see a single point and couldn't make out any details.
"I wonder what the other hemisphere is like..."
"There are more ancient ruins and beast-type Digimon over there."
"Really? Let's go take a look."
The Flame Dragon Beast could only see the scenery of the Eastern Hemisphere from its perspective, but it didn't know what the Western Hemisphere looked like. It couldn't help but feel curious, so it flapped its wings and flew westward.
The digital world rotates from west to east, just like the Earth. Flying westward goes against the direction of planetary rotation, which can save a lot of distance.
……
On the ground, after Flamedramon flew away, everyone looked at Grodonmon, who had regressed into Oremon and arrogantly declared to everyone that he wanted to join the ranks of the Ten Warriors.
With more people contributing, everyone would naturally agree.
Meanwhile, the shaman beast, whose spirit had been separated from the Flame Dragon Beast warrior, slowly awoke and explained the situation to everyone. It turned out that seven thousand years ago, he accidentally discovered the Flame Dragon Beast warrior's spirit in a wall of fire. He tried to touch it but was mistakenly devoured and became a demon dragon for seven thousand years. Fortunately, this demon dragon was rather lazy and only found a volcano to live in, without destroying the town.
Bogomon said, "Shamanmon, I remember you are very good at divination. Can you help us find out where the spirits of the remaining three beast warriors are located?"
Everyone pricked up their ears, especially Izumi Orimoto, Junpei Shibayama, and Tomoki Himi.
After witnessing the Silver Wolf Beast and the Flame Dragon Beast, they were all eager to know the spirit of their respective Beast Warriors.
"Since you saved me, fine, I'll help you."
The shamanic beast danced wildly for ten minutes, panting heavily, then shook its head and said, "There's no need to force it; they will naturally meet you."
Izumi Orimoto, Junpei Shibayama, and Tomoki Himi breathed a sigh of relief.
They also wanted to know what their beast-type warrior spirit looked like.
Isn't it cool? Isn't it handsome? Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it powerful?
"Let me rest for a while."
The shaman beast had already exhausted him half to death with one divination; another one would probably kill him.
During the break, Shibayama Junpei avoided the crowd and asked in a low voice, "Can your divination predict everything?"
The shaman beast said calmly, "I can foresee major events."
His divination involves listening to the divine will that exists in the unseen realm, and he can predict major events in the future.
Shibayama Junpei asked, "Can you predict my love life?"
The shaman beast curled its lip in disdain and said, "This is such a trivial matter, not worth considering."
The resolute tone made Chai Shanchun's expression change drastically. He clasped his hands together and pleaded repeatedly, "Please, this is a major event in my life, please, please..."
The shaman beast, annoyed by the words, casually remarked, "You will live a lonely life until the end."
"You...you didn't dance at all."
"Do you really need to dance for something so small?"
"..."
Shibayama Junpei was struck dumb, standing there frozen in place.
Not far away, Izumi Orimoto muttered, "What is Junpei doing over there?"
Himi Yuuki looked up at the sky and said, "Why isn't Takuya-nii back yet..."
Izumi Orimoto laughed, "It's only been ten minutes, but Kouji has been playing for an hour."
"Ahem..." Genji's face flushed slightly as he pretended to be calm and looked into the distance, muttering to himself, "I went alone, while Takuya brought Jeanne d'Arc... Come to think of it, does this count as eloping?"
An hour later, the sun was high in the sky, but the Flame Dragon Beast still hadn't returned.
"Takuya is so playful too," said Bogaomon.
Two hours later, at noon.
"Takuya is even more playful than Kouji."
Genji rolled his eyes inwardly, indicating that he was going there to train his skills, as for Takuya... well, that was another matter, and everyone knew why.
They really did elope!
To everyone's surprise, Takuya Kanbara was gone for a whole day, and a fierce battle even broke out.

Chapter 65, Dynasmon and SwordEmperormon
Meanwhile, the Flame Dragon Beast carried the Jeanne d'Arc Beast westward, skimming over the Dark Continent and arriving in the Western Hemisphere.
According to Jeanne d'Arc, the proportion of beast-type Digimon is relatively large in the Western Hemisphere, and there are also more ancient ruins. However, when they arrived in the skies above the Western Hemisphere, the first thing they saw was not these, but a land full of devastation.
The Eastern Hemisphere is like cheese that has been gnawed by rats, but at least 70-80% of its land and ocean remains intact.
The Western Hemisphere is like a leftover breadcrumb, empty and desolate, with abysses everywhere, leaving only about 50 percent of its land and ocean untouched.
"I never imagined the Western Hemisphere would be so badly damaged."
Jeanne d'Arc looked on with a sigh, but then she thought about it again and felt that something was not right.
"Cherubimon believes that the laws of the angels are unfair to beast-type Digimon, so it has fallen into evil ways. The western hemisphere, where beast-type Digimon make up a larger proportion, should be under its protection, so how come it is more damaged than the eastern hemisphere?"
Unless the cherubim has gone mad.
But Cherubimon turned evil, not went mad.
The Flame Dragon Beast's gaze swept across the land of the Western Hemisphere, discovering that the potholes and craters followed a certain pattern, forming a five-bracket-like curve when connected.
It is clear that some force has been sabotaging this route along the curve.
This curve begins in the south of the Dark Continent, destroys everything in its path westward, then turns westward again at the edge of the continent, and then turns westward again as it approaches the Dark Continent. This cycle repeats until it eventually returns to the Dark Continent.
“If I’m not mistaken, the one who destroyed the earth should be…” The Flame Dragon Beast’s gaze fell on the end of the curve.
boom--!
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred at the finish line, sending dust soaring into the sky, followed by the disappearance of another large area of land.
Flame Dragon Beast and Jeanne d'Arc Beast exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, flapped their wings, and quickly flew towards the site of the explosion. However, when they arrived at their destination, the person who caused the explosion had already left.
They had anticipated this, so they merely flew over the area without landing, continuing to fly forward until they soon saw a massive pyramid.
Unlike the pyramids in the human world, this pyramid is upside down, and in the distance from this upside-down pyramid is a Sphinx.
That's not the point. The point is that above the inverted pyramid, there are two figures, one white and one pink.
It was none other than the Royal Knights—Dunasmon and SwordKingmon.
Sword Emperor Beast pointed to the pyramid and said, "This pyramid should be where the digital code for this place is located."
Only by breaking the digital password can the data for this region be unlocked; otherwise, forcibly destroying the region will not only yield little data but will also damage the land data, resulting in more harm than good.
The Dynasmon nodded, and blue spherical energy waves emanated from its palms.
"Dragon's Roar!"
He released his grip, and the energy wave fell freely due to gravity.
In the blink of an eye, a shower of red light fell from the sky.
Dadadadadada——!
"Coronavirus Shockwave!"
The light rain swept across the energy wave of Dragon's Roar, detonating it in mid-air. Then, with its momentum undiminished, it swept over Dynasmon and SwordEmperormon, knocking them far away.
Unfortunately, it only repelled them and couldn't harm the two paladins wearing digital alloy armor.
"Roar~ So you're the guardians of this region? There are always some ungrateful Digimon that appear in front of us and then get destroyed by us. Can't you see the difference in power between us?"
Sword Emperor Beast held a bright red rose in its hand, its gaze sweeping over Flame Dragon Beast before finally settling on Jeanne d'Arc Beast perched on Flame Dragon Beast's shoulder.
In his view, Jeanne d'Arc is the master of Flamedramon, that is, the person in charge.
“We don’t like bullying the weak; we just need the data for this land.”
SwordKingmon was telling the truth. After all, they were Holy Knight Digimon, and naturally possessed one or two of the virtues of a Holy Knight—humility, honesty, compassion, courage, sacrifice, justice, honor, and spirituality.
That being said, his meaning was no different from "I'm not bullying you, I just want to confiscate your house."
"But the data for this land doesn't belong to you!"
Jeanne d'Arc's eyes flashed with malice; she was truly enraged. She drew her Saintess Sword, pointed it at the Sword Emperor Beast, and shouted, "Hand over the data on all the lands!"
Sword Emperor Beast sighed and said, "Sigh~ It seems that reasoning won't work. Beautiful angel, I didn't want to kill you, but since you're blocking my way, then please die."
After speaking, he gripped the gold belt on his body and swung it like a sword, sending a cross-shaped sword aura flying towards the Joan of Arc.
As an Ultimate-level Digimon, even a casual strike from it is enough to be fatal to a Champion-level Digimon, and Jeannemon simply couldn't withstand it.
"Jeanne d'Arcmon Ultimate Evolution... Angewomon!"
Angewomon raised her shield to block, instantly dissolving the cross-shaped sword energy. Although she was not a battle-type Ultimate level, she was not a weak woman who could be easily defeated by an Ultimate level.
"Oh? Angewomon..."
SwordKingmon also had some strategic skills. After arriving in this Digital World, he learned about the famous Digimon in history, and Ophanimon was one of them.
One of the three great angels who ruled the world eight thousand years ago, but unfortunately he disappeared after only three hundred years.
In comparison, both Huanglongmon and Lucemon were digital kings who ruled for thousands of years, and even the current Cherubimon, although it is more laid-back, has still ruled for more than seven thousand years.
After the recollection ended, SwordEmperormon said with a smile, "I thought you were locked up by Cherubimon."
