Chapter 267 Willing to Worship a Wise Ruler
Death itself is not frightening; rather, it is the moment before death arrives that is most terrifying.
Broly's words made the Wormmon below tremble even more violently, because it was as if he was saying that he might eat it in the future.
Thinking of its fate of being eaten again in the future, the Insect Beast lay on the ground and began to cry.
Broly was somewhat puzzled.
"I already said I wouldn't eat you, so why are you still crying? Do you need me to say I'm going to eat you before you stop crying?"
Upon hearing this, Bugmon immediately stopped crying. Broly stared wide-eyed at the large, fat green bug below, thinking that this Digimon might really be seriously ill, and only stopped when he said some harsh words.
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Why did I become the so-called Gluttonous Beast King you all talk about?"
Broly floated down from the sky, threw the Darkdramon he was holding onto the open space beside him, making a loud noise and jolting a group of baby Digimon sitting on the ground into the air. He then asked the three rookie Digimon in front of him about this question.
Wormmon, Palmon, and Flamemon exchanged glances, and finally Flamemon, who was still able to maintain a standing posture and a certain degree of composure, spoke up.
"That's what we heard from some other Digimon in the dense forest..."
After Flora's explanation, Broly felt that his reputation had been damaged by rumors.
He earned the title of Gluttonous King because he was seen by other Digimon while hunting and cooking some bad Digimon.
The weaker Digimon are connected. As Broly catches and eats more and more Digimon, his name gradually spreads among the weaker Digimon at the bottom of the forest—the Gluttonous King.
Binge eating refers to his ability to eat a lot.
As for Beast, no other Digimon would believe that someone capable of easily defeating some Champion-level Digimon could be a single person.
Since Broly is not human, but is treated as a Digimon, then only Digimon of Champion level or higher can easily defeat Champion-level Digimon.
The Digital World is vast, almost the same size as the real world, but there aren't many Digimon that can naturally evolve to their Ultimate form.
Almost every Ultimate-level Digimon, except for those that are invincible, is a dominant force in its own right.
Digimon that acts like a dominant force are affectionately addressed as "King" by other Digimon, such as King Etemon or King Myotismon.
Broly earned the nickname "Gluttonous Beast King" because of his enormous appetite, but there must be some misunderstanding here, such as the claim that he only targets villainous or ferocious Digimon.
However, this information is something that Digimon that are not targeted as prey cannot discern.
They only knew that Broly defeated and cooked and ate some other powerful Champion-level Digimon, but they didn't know that he wouldn't harm Digimon that weren't villains.
As for why the puppy beast turned into the Doberman beast, it's probably similar to how rumors tend to become distorted over time.
Compared to the Holy Beast type Digimon, Puppymon, other Digimon are more inclined to believe that beside the more evil and powerful Gluttonmon, there is a ruthless, adult-level Hound type Digimon.
. . . .
"Broly isn't that kind of person. The ones he ate were all villains and ferocious Digimon."
Now, the puppy beast spoke up to refute the rumors of the Brutality King, while the flower beasts looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What, you don't believe what the little dog beast says?"
Broly's fist-clenched, warning question finally made Floramon and the other Digimon realize what was happening, and they quickly shook their heads.
"Lord Puppymon is right. We really shouldn't believe baseless rumors. Lord Gluttonmon, you are actually a very kind and benevolent Digimon..."
"I'm not a Digimon. Well, I hope you don't feel pressured when I say that?"
Upon hearing this, the group of Digimon who had answered immediately shook their heads, with Palmon even patting his chest to assure them, "We will not force you, and what we said is the truth from the bottom of our hearts."
[From the heart, and from the heart.]
Insectmon nodded repeatedly in agreement. As long as it wasn't eaten by the Gluttonous Beast King in front of it, it could say anything at this moment and unconditionally agree with any objections that Puppymon might make.
Even if the puppy beast now says that the poop beast's poop is a delicacy, the worm beast will agree with this view without hesitation.
"It's fine not to force yourself."
Broly nodded, his gaze unconsciously drifting to the large and small bags filled with fruit beside the group of Digimon.
The Flower Beast followed the boy's gaze and realized something was wrong. Quickly thinking, it said, "These are the fruits we picked to offer as tribute to King Gluttony."
"Yes, yes, these are definitely not fruits we sneaked into your territory to pick while you were away. We, we were actually helping Doberman, uh, no, Little Dog Beast, pick the fruits."
Palmon stammered in agreement, which made Floramon so angry that the petals on its hands opened up.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, Hualanmon would have really wanted to turn around and beat up this pig teammate.
Both being Rookie-level Digimon, why does Palmon seem to lack any intelligence?
Could this be the difference between the Digimon that evolve from Picomon and Seedmon?
"Thank you so much."
Suddenly, Broly expressed his gratitude.
"Huh?!"
The next moment, words of surprise rang out simultaneously.
Did he really believe it?
Floramon's eyes widened, and its thoughts were the same as those of the other two Rookie Digimon.
"Abu, they probably just came here to pick fruit because winter came early and they didn't have enough food to prepare for the winter."
The little dog revealed the truth, explaining why it knew this: because it had done the same thing before.
When food is scarce in winter, they will risk coming to Kugamon's territory to steal fruit from the trees.
When the lie was exposed by Puppymon, Floramon, Palmon, and Wormmon were all on tenterhooks, watching Broly with bated breath.
"So that's how it is. These fruits were picked for themselves, not for me."
[Oh no, I'm going to die!]
The three Rookie-stage Digimon trembled, and the Baby-stage Digimon reacted similarly.
"However, they did help me a bit; thanks to them, I was able to pick a lot of big fruit."
The little dog picked up the vine bag and shook it; the fruits inside were large and smelled delicious.
"Did it help...?"
Broly pondered for a moment, then approached Darkdramon. The creature was showing some unusual activity, suggesting it was about to awaken.
Broly swung his fist and, the instant Darkdramon raised its head from the ground, used physical force to send it back to a sleep like an infant.
"Would you like to eat together?"
"What do you want to eat?"
"Palumon asked instinctively."
"Is that even a question?"
Bro patted the head of the Darkdramon next to him, which was fast asleep like a baby, and asked in return.
Apart from Puppymon, the other Digimon fell silent. We baby/rookie Digimon, can we eat Darkdramon now?
Ah, no, how can they, as Digimon, eat other Digimon?
. . . .
"Wow, it smells so good!"
At night, the external data that Darkdramon roasted directly benefited a group of hungry Digimon.
These Digimon went from initial resistance to exclaiming "It's so delicious!" in the time it takes to eat a meal.
The transformation from questioning Broly to understanding Broly, and then wanting to become Broly, was completed quickly.
This is especially true for some baby Digimon, who, after absorbing enough data, evolve into adult Digimon on the spot.
"The Gluttonous Beast King is truly a benevolent and good king."
"I, Biyomon—no, I'm Biyomon now—am willing to follow and serve King Gluttonymon..."
On the spot, a newly evolved Digimon pledged allegiance to Broly. Such instances of weak Digimon pledging allegiance to strong Digimon are not uncommon in the Digital World.
In the Digital World, it's okay for powerful Digimon to be lone wolves, but weak Digimon either need to band together for warmth or find a powerful Digimon to be their leader.
Of course, finding a leader is risky. If you encounter a reliable leader, that's fine, but if you encounter an unreliable one, they might turn around and kill you if they're unhappy. Zuli Beast died a very unjust death.
Every single Digimon present was filled with envy as they watched Broly keep feeding the puppymon.
"What can you do to serve me? Get on the grill, roast yourself, and then feed you?"
Broly looked at the little red bird that was bending down in front of him, wanting to serve him, and asked in confusion.
Biyomon: "..."
It just wants to worship the boss, not to be eaten by the boss.
"I know where there are still bad Digimon."
The little red bird racked its brains, thought of something, and then said...
"Gluttonous King, I know a few bad Digimon too."
The insect beast hurriedly said, fearing that it might be eaten later.
Broly: "???"
He originally didn't want to take any Digimon under his command, but the group of Digimon who wanted to follow him offered him good terms.
"In the middle of the dense forest, there is a large lake that has been occupied by a group of Squidmon. They do not allow other Digimon to drink water in the lake without their permission. If you want to drink water, you have to pay them enough for drinking water."
"To the west of the dense forest, there is a group of Guni Beasts. They and I both evolved from the Mudbug Beasts. However, our tribe values peace, while the Guni Beast tribe prefers violence."
They destroyed our Insect Beast tribe, intending to guide all the Insect Beasts in this dense forest to evolve into their own Gunimon. They are a group of vile and wicked creatures!
The Insect Beast directly revealed its own tribe's enemy tribe, causing Broly to look at it with some suspicion, wondering if this large green insect had ulterior motives.
"Gunimon, I know them. When I was still Meowmon, I accidentally wandered into their territory and was chased and bitten by a group of Gunimon. Luckily, those Gunimon were slower than me, so I escaped."
However, with the Little Dog Beast saying this, it doesn't matter what other thoughts the Insect Beast might have.
That night, guided by Wormmon, Broly found the Gunimon tribe in the western part of the forest. The tribe consisted of thirteen Digimon resembling giant unicorns. They were powerless against the Saiyans and were knocked unconscious and taken back.
Broly put the Gunimon on the rack and grilled thirteen skewers of giant insects. The Gunimon tasted like chicken after grilling and were very delicious, which made Broly look forward to the taste of the Squidmon.
. . . .
The next day, he went to the lake in the forest and deliberately fetched water.
Then, they were blocked at the lakeside by three squid-like creatures that emerged from the lake.
These mature, soft-bodied cuttlefish-like creatures had a bad temper and immediately tried to extort him.
"Although we didn't dig this lake in the forest, nor did we channel the water in, since we live in this lake, we need to pay you something if we want to fetch water here. Anything is fine, as long as we think your things are valuable."
"Can I exchange fruit for water?"
Broly pulled out the large fruit and asked about it.
"What the hell? Do we need tree fruits?"
There was nothing in the dense forest except for a lot of wild fruits.
Whether it tastes good or not is one thing, but cuttlefish don't lack this stuff.
"But I don't have anything better on me than fruit right now, so I don't need this water."
Broly poured the water back.
"Ha, you've polluted the water, and you still dare to say you don't want it?"
"They stole our water, but can't offer us anything good?"
"So, are you prepared to be killed by us?"
The three squid-like creatures each spoke a sentence, then looked at Broly with malicious eyes.
They usually enjoy dragging land creatures into the water and then watching them struggle and die.
Previously, it was Digimon, but now a human boy has appeared. It's unknown what kind of despair this human boy will show after being dragged into this mess.
"Even the floodwaters aren't receding, and you want to kill me for this alone?"
As expected, you Squidmon are indeed evil Digimon.
So, are you ready to be eaten by me?
Broly might have been annoyed if the squid-like creatures were reasonable, but their irrationality suited him perfectly.
In no time at all, Broly knocked the three squid beasts unconscious.
Broly dragged them ashore and immediately cut down trees to start a fire and roasted the three large squid.
The Squidmon tasted incredibly delicious; it truly lived up to its reputation as a seafood-type Digimon.
Even the puppy-like Digimon thought it tasted better than the previous virus-type Digimon.
