Chapter 1762 No.379: Now is the real test
In the dark area of ​​the Digital World, there are four large maps drawn by the Digimon themselves a long time ago:

The Demon King's Temple is the ruling core of the seven demon kings;

Data furnace, an important production line for dark energy circulation;

The Well of Atonement, the Consciousness Devouring Trap and the Seven-fold Trial Field;
The Bone Wasteland, where ghost-type and undead-type Digimon are spawned;
With the development of the human world's network, the digital main world has expanded greatly, and the dark areas, which are the dark side of the main world, have also expanded greatly at the same time, causing the territories of these four large maps to expand proportionally. Now it is already more than 20 times the original size.

The Wall of Sighs standing at the border of the Well of Atonement also expanded by more than twenty times its size, turning into a magnificent spectacle that was reminiscent of the Great Wall in Dongyan history.

However, because of its shape, which is surrounded by swirling black air, even though it is a spectacular building, not many people will come to visit it - but there will be countless Digimon waiting here eagerly.

Even if you are in the Well of Atonement, surrounded by a chaotic data field that devours your consciousness, if you get close to the Wall of Sighs, you will have to face the seven trials that are even more difficult and profound in testing your consciousness...

They still want to challenge that high, dark wall because it is the only way out they can choose.

Yes, although in the eyes of others, Digimon have many options to leave the Dark Area, whether it is to cling to capable humans who have arrived here, or to serve as the vanguard of the Demon King's army's exploration, or to become stronger and directly tear the boundaries of the Dark Area, or simply to take a chance - there are also some areas in the Dark Area that will be randomly unstable, and the so-called "time-travel treatment" is just like this.

However, the above options are actually a luxury that most Digimon that have fallen into the dark area cannot obtain.

Even if you give up your dignity, capable humans may not appreciate you. The Demon King's army has many vanguards, and you may not even be included in the exploration. Becoming stronger and tearing the borders apart is a distant future promise, not to mention relying on luck - in the end, you still have to challenge the well-known Wall of Sighs.

Although it is a creation of the data world, it follows the idealistic laws of the fantasy world. It is a place where dark data is highly concentrated and condensed, and one must break through seven levels of trials before entering.

Most of the Digimon wandering in the dark area will arrive here and come here at least twice.

One time, he was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, and he had to go through this round of death to prove his "specialness" that he believed in. Then, he mostly died and became part of the world of the dark zone.

While alive, you may walk out, or you may struggle to survive, become discouraged and stop challenging, and then when you really have nothing to live for - you will challenge the second round in a suicidal manner.

Maybe it will succeed.

But more often it has become the final resting place for those seeking death, adding a bit of resentment of unfinished business to the dark and depressing giant structure.

Although Belstarmon.X is definitely not a loser, the challenge in her life did end in failure.

After all, at that time, she was still a female Devilmon/Lady-Devilmon.

I don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is, and I don't have enough strength.

She had also struggled hard in the test of the seven sins, and saved her life at the cost of damaged data. Later, the defects were filled, and she achieved the ultimate through countless battles and set foot on X-evolution, which was another long time.

Even though time is long enough to dilute most memories and feelings, the life of a Digimon is just like the memory of a human, with a few fragments that are particularly vivid and profound.

Especially Digimon from the Dark Area.

The Wall of Sighs often occupies a place in their most profound memories.

Although some Digimon relied on the same data protection mechanism as humans to forcibly seal overly shocking memories, Female Devilmon was not that traumatized back then.

Therefore, in the memory of this witchmon, the oppressive feeling of that magnificent black wall is still vivid.

It is a material that is condensed from negativity and darkness that has accumulated over countless years, and it has the terrifying feeling that a high wall should have.

In a sense, this is a vicious cycle created by countless survivors. Breaking through the Wall of Sighs will not reduce the data capacity inside, but dying under the Wall of Sighs will further contribute to the construction of the Wall of Sighs. Therefore, all Digimon that die in front of the Wall of Sighs are in disguise raising the threshold for later challengers, which means that the scale of the Wall of Sighs itself has not only increased vertically but also horizontally, so as to avoid the dilemma of boiling a frog in boiling water.

But warm water isn't much better, is it?

After all, boiling water can still make people look at it with awe and distance themselves from it, but lukewarm water is what makes countless Digimon think, "I can do it, I am special, different from those useless people!", and then they commit suicide one after another.

Nowadays, this is considered common sense in the Dark Zone. Digimon that still have reason can use it to warn themselves and others, but it does not prevent rows of Digimon from waiting in front of the Wall of Sighs to be cleansed of their sins.

Or they have fallen to this point and long for their hometown.

Or they are tired of the environment in the Dark Zone and dream of the legendary Digital Main World.

Or it could be, as mentioned above, not being afraid and just giving up.

Because it is always based on desire and led by sin, this natural cycle is not cut off by the accumulation of information, and can be presented in the most pure and direct form before the eyes of the puppet Magabasa.

“It’s indeed a very similar temperament.”

Its sharp claws grabbed the end of Witchmon's broomstick, and it and Witchmon looked out at the wall of black fog that would make ordinary Digimon feel uneasy just by looking at it.

Even though the area they stepped into was large enough to trigger hallucinations extending in the direction of the seven deadly sins, they remained calm as usual.

"Want to get any closer? I don't recommend it."

"Will it trigger the Seventh Level Trial?"

"It's not that fast. It's just that the closer we get, the greater the mental burden. The aura of the Wall of Sighs will also haunt living things. You have to know that most Digimon that get close to the Wall of Sighs will go crazy. The closer we get, the more oppressive the black wall will be."

"How's that for you?"

"Not bad. Although I'm at the mature stage, in terms of mental strength, I should still be in Ultimate X form. I should have no problem even with direct contact."

"Then contact it directly. I want to confirm that my analysis of it is the same as Gilvalis's previous feelings."

"? Can this monster body help you filter out mental oppression?"

"Normally, it's possible, just like exempting Lilithmon.X from his privileges," Magabasa said coldly, "but in order to confirm the analysis, I have completely attached my spirit to Magabasa."

"Ok?"

These words stopped Witchmon from flying towards the Wall of Sighs.

"Is it okay?"

"No problem, it's more like being cordial, don't dawdle, it's almost evening!"

"It's almost evening," said the witchmon speechlessly, "Why rush? Didn't you get through the most troublesome threshold by sneaking in there?"

This resulted in the boy's soft and faint voice:

"But the most troublesome threshold on the main body side has just begun. Have you thought about this?"
