NO.387 Because that is the fate of the devil
The Gate of Sin.

The hatching pool of the seven demon kings, with the emblems of the seven demon kings inlaid on the door.

The Demon King's emblem is always fixed.

In the center is the seal of the seven Olympian spirits/angels, and above the seal is the astrological symbol of the planet they each rule. The names of the seven demons and their corresponding crimes are written in English on the outer circle of each emblem. And below the seal is the level of the sin in purgatory written in Arabic numerals.

The coat of arms has no power and is only a symbol of authority, but when the emblem on the Gate of Sin glows, it means the return of the "Crown of Sin".

Just like at this moment, the emerald green emblem in the lower middle of the door not only radiates brilliant light, but also covers all the "qualified people" in the entire dark area with that brilliant light.

This is the opening of the succession ceremony.

The Gate of Seven Sins is ready to welcome the "qualified ones". The latter only needs to arrive here and touch the door to start the trial of succession.

It is called a trial, but in fact it is just a direct infusion of the power of the Sin Crown of "Lust".

Those who can bear it will be the new king, and those who fail will become the accumulated materials of the gate.

Just like the process of obtaining the X-form, the digital world has many such simple and crude trials.

If you pass, you will make a leap in evolution, but you will die on the spot.

Of course, with the unprecedented expansion of resources in the digital world today, it is difficult for Digimon to be bound by the self-destruction process of the X program, which is equivalent to a controllable and selectable calamity.

If you continue to climb upwards, you will be able to overcome the tribulation.

If you don't want to take that risk, just stay at this stage. There are many Perfect and Ultimate Digimon in the Digital Main World that are qualified to challenge the X-Program Self-Destruction, but this is why they still don't have an X-Form.

But in dark areas, such options don't need to be mentioned most of the time.

Only by moving forward can you live longer - this is the saying that the residents of the dark area have long followed.

And even if you reach the ultimate state, it does not mean that you can sit back and relax, after all, there is a demon king who is known for his warmongering.

However, that demon king has disappeared for a long time. After that, the new demon king is equally warlike, but... there is still a gap between the strong ones.

Even if one has the desire to gluttony, it would be embarrassing if one is not strong enough to devour everything.

The Digimon who had seen the previous Demon Lord knew it very well, but no one would mention it.

After all, as a certain smiling psychic once said, 'Just because I get weaker doesn't mean you get stronger', the strength of the Demon King with the Crown of Sin is still far beyond that of an ordinary Ultimate Form. The secret to living a long life is to control your mouth and not say things that you shouldn't, unless you are someone like Lucemon, Fallen Form.

"Can a decent Digimon be chosen in this succession ceremony?"

"Don't let the crown of Gluttony fall into the hands of a sluggish person like it did."

"What did you say!"

Although it sounds like a sentence structure of a deaf person, and the way he holds up his weapon is the standard for a deaf person before going to war, don't underestimate that yellow-haired deaf person! He is a top student who can major in English literature and become a translator after graduation. In comparison, Beelzebumon.X is just an illiterate Digimon.

"What did I say? Can't you hear me?"

With its long and thick legs crossed on the long table filled with black air, Lucemon.Fallen had no respect at all for the grinning four-winged red-faced creature.

The reason is in the next sentence:

"The guy who had to show up here in an evolved state really lowered the style of this table."

"Ah, ah... huh!"

Just as it pressed the "Flame of Gluttony" into the barrel of the gun and aimed it at the neutral face that had the appearance of both gods and demons, a sudden sneeze brought up a strong gust of wind and dirty saliva and snot, forcing it to quickly retract the gun "Last Supper" that evolved from "Eggplant".

"The air here... ah... ah... hmm," Leviamon, who had shrunk a thousand times in crocodile form, snorted as if his nose was still itchy and making some nervous noises, "It's so dry."

"We haven't seen each other for a while, so we have to fight in a place like this?" The demon beast put his elbows on the table and supported his face with his fists. I thought he was trying to be a peacemaker after hearing the first half of his sentence, but the next sentence was:

"What's the point if there's no blood? How about I draw a direct route to the Tower of Babel for you?"

It asked Beelzebumon.X, which surprised the latter for a moment, and he just felt... No, maybe there is no need to doubt it, Demonmon did not hide his malice. But if you say it has any calculations, that's not necessarily the case.

It's just a kind-hearted, pragmatic animal that can't stand seeing people just talking without doing anything, so it's happy to lend a helping hand.

In contrast, the furry little animal lying on the chair with the blue emblem and half-closed its eyes seemed to dislike this kind of opening.

"It's not easy to get together. Do you have to do this?" Belphemon. In sleeping form, he is always in a sealed and bound state, which is most clearly reflected in the chains surrounding his body and his overly petite and cute body.

It is hard to imagine that its adult form would be an exceptionally strong, violent, muscular sheep.

What it is like when it is in an angry state is another matter, but when it is sealed, it has always been committed to the sin of "laziness". Not only does it speak softly and look lazy, it also strives to avoid all troubles.

At the moment, he sighed with a look of despair, and then asked Barbamon who was sitting at the table across from him.

"Big Beard, can you please stop doing this?"

"I am just an old man who can't protect the lady's life and has to support the new lady to inherit the lady's job. How can I care about the conflict between that gentleman and the young warrior?"

"What are these names? Did you learn them in the human world?"

Although he can sleep for a thousand years each time and see new things every time he wakes up, the time intervals between Belphemon's recent awakenings are quite small, and he has developed a super-sensitivity that doesn't subconsciously think 'There's a weird new trend in the Digital World again.'

Instead, I would think of the human forces that are growing stronger and stronger in the dark area, and then feel that anything I don't understand is related to that group of people.

It's like seeing a master from the city build a factory, a villa and an entertainment center in the village, and then attribute all the unfamiliar concepts to the villagers "coming from the city".

"You should move more, Belphemon. A thousand years of laziness only adds up to a few days of fury. It's really not worth it."

"Isn't being able to move around for a few days enough for you to make arrangements? Longbeard, do you want to trade me out like Lilithmon.X?"

"I've always felt that you misunderstood me too deeply, Belphemon. This is not a good idea, especially when a new lady is about to arrive."

"Stop talking about this useless stuff, Barbamon."

Lying on a standard bench that looked more like a recliner, Leviamon sneezed a few more times and got used to this mental meeting room without a physical body. However, he ignored the conflict between Lucemon.Fallen and Beelzebumon.X, who were interrupted by his sneezes, and interrupted Barbamon's words.

"How many Lilithmon will come to compete for the Crown of Sin this time? Have you counted them?"

Demonmon: "Speaking of which, I even remember that the Demon King's army reported that the human brother and sister had a Lilithmon under their command."

Leviamon: "Human brothers and sisters? Huh? You don't think there will be a guy who will submit to humans among the seven demon kings?"

"If we don't interfere, it's possible," Barbamon shrugged, stroking his long beard, "Those two human dolls are very good at training Digimon. Although that lady didn't have much presence in the battle in the black market, I have been paying attention to her."

"Her qualities are no less than those of the original beings in our dark area."

"After being awarded the Crown of Sin, it won't be their turn to submit or not," Lucemon Fallen said nonchalantly, "The Gate of Sin will bring the most direct changes to their Digicores."

"The refinement of the Digi-Core program is not absolute," Barbamon reminded, "Don't forget why the last Beelzebumon took off his crown."

"..." Beelzebumon X remained silent. He wanted to tear apart the shadow that still loomed over him even after he stepped down more than anyone else.

"But I am still compiling the list of challengers who will participate in this trial. The result will be known after three more dark tides of the Wall of Sighs."

Leviamon: "In that case, there's nothing much to talk about. Let's talk business?"

"Business now..." Belphemon slowly closed his eyes, "I'm just waiting for an opportunity to perform, the rest is up to you."

"With your attitude, your emblem will be stuffed into the Gate of Sin sooner or later." The Demon Beast sneered.

However, the Digimon that was somewhere between the appearance of a little black sheep and a little black bear didn't matter at all.

"If you need to become the super demon king of all sins, I have nothing to resist."
