Chapter 1889 No.506: Yes, self-indulgent

As a decision maker, being consistently cautious is one thing, but whether to use caution to support the impulse to abandon the collaborators you have just taken in is obviously another.

But if you think about it carefully, it's just a matter of being cautious in the long term and in the present, and Lucemon.Fallen chose the latter.

This is not the first time.

After the disastrous defeat that has become a legend, it sealed its most extreme self in half of its body and cut it off in order to seek a completely new path. The maximum restriction set after the painful reflection also allowed it to break through the underlying logic of the arrogant demon king time and time again, showing words and deeds that were impossible in the past and the path that those words and deeds practiced.

As a new path and a fresh start, it was undoubtedly a success.

But whether this is the best choice, we will probably only know it when we look back in the future.

But even if it cuts off its arrogance with its own hands, the conviction it had when choosing the path will always remain in its heart.

It cannot help but believe it.

Because a new road also means completely unfamiliar territory.

Every step requires great courage, and every step lacks sufficient experience.

Even though it has the ability to access other people's experiences and acquire other people's knowledge, it also has the virtue that remains after losing its arrogance to constantly criticize and question.

Is this the way to go?

Should I avoid this place?
Can this be avoided?

Is this the right choice?
…Such self-doubts swept over it like a wave, as if it had returned to its long forgotten birth moment many years ago, before it fell. Born in an era when the concept of Digimon was still unclear and the concept of Appmon had not yet appeared, it was the oldest Angel Digimon, and it only built an immature framework for its growth period with the etymology of "Lucifer" as the core, which was a sadness limited by the times.

The result of the mismatch between the size of the vessel and its contents is an immature state - it is not like the Digimon of today that are born with the various instincts, powers, and even responsibilities defined in the data core.

It needs to learn.

Exploring, remembering, and then developing the rudimentary concept of learning in the fear of what has not yet been defined as the "unknown", it, along with many ancient Digimon of the same period, served as the concept of "experimental field" in the eyes of later researchers. Its various attempts and initiatives have become the initial data that later Digimon can complete, and it has become a pioneer in the practice of many phenomena that many Digimon have already taken for granted.

Even Lucemon's unique growth period and extraordinary strength are taken for granted. No matter how it explains, it is only seen as the humility of a strong man.

If it happens too many times, it will become Versailles level of arrogance.

The latecomers who were enjoying the shade under the tree could not understand the hardships and difficulties faced by the pioneers when they paved the way. The gap between them became increasingly widened due to the various conflicts brought about by the poor living environment in the early days of the digital world, until the prejudice finally became a fact.

Lucemon, who has given up on being understood, vows in the name of arrogance to take over this hopeless world where only ignorance continues to grow and God stands idly by.

What happened next became a widely circulated legend.

The ten warriors of the same era as Lucemon joined forces in that ancient times to defeat the tyrannical Lucemon: Fallen Form, bringing lasting peace to the entire world.

The Fallen Morning Star was thus sealed into the underworld of the Digital World, and at that time, that place didn't even have a formal name like the "Dark Area".

Even the fact that it is the dark side of the digital world is a secret that is only circulated among a handful of insiders. Only the legend of the underworld is spread without any barriers, but it has long been regarded as the imagination of wild beasts.

Even the fallen Lucemon only vaguely sensed the existence of such a place. He never thought that when he fell as a sealed loser, he could even see the host-like existence.

Large Drakumon.

It sent an envoy, but he did not wait for my permission to set foot on the Tower of Babel, and claimed that he was also a visitor here, but he came earlier. He also said that he prepared a dinner to welcome the new neighbor, and hoped to have the opportunity to entertain him. He also said that he had explored and gained a lot of secrets and rules here, and hoped to share them with me, and he longed to have a friend who would walk with him on the road of exploration.

But Lucemon refused. It was always so polite, friendly and patient, and never got angry even when it was rejected, attacked or threatened, and never laughed at its posture of being hung upside down by the chain composed of sacred rings.

Just leave quietly.

For countless years, the Vampire King remained friendly and invitations came frequently, but Lucemon never gave him even a chance.

He even killed the messengers several times.

So, when did GreatDrakumon give up?
Lucemon himself doesn't know either.

It hadn't made any special note of it, and Megadrakumon had never mentioned it to it.

It only remembered that there was a long period of no intersection, and with the synchronous expansion of the dark area and the main world, the frequency of the birth of dark Digimon gradually increased, and there were even several huge spans of proliferation, which suspected that something big had happened in the main world.

During this process, the Dark Zone became more and more lively, and many powerful beings who had been defeated and fallen here in the Main World also appeared one after another. Their arrival invisibly completed the evolutionary chain of the Dark Digimon, allowing the native Digimon to have a relatively smoother evolutionary path, and allowing the supreme power unique to the Dark Zone - the power of the Crown of Sin - to accumulate and overflow, creating the first seven demon kings selected by the rules of the Dark Zone.

It can also be described as a gathering of losers.

Yes, the first generation of demon kings were all outsiders who were destroyed, exiled, and fallen from the main world.

But now, the only Demon Kings who still retain their ancient origins are Lucemon, Fallen Type, Barbamon, and Leviamon, and they are all in the notes of Greatdrakumon.

But again: no chance.

Just as a good cook cannot cook without rice, Leviamon has been hiding for a long time, Barbamon likes to run around and hide behind the scenes even more than it, and Lucemon. Fallen Form is even more determined and unyielding. Even if they are well versed in manipulating emotions, it is useless if they cannot even convey it in words.

Although there are also realms where one can manipulate people's mentality with just some arrangements, these three are all cold and ruthless enough. Only Barbamon cares a little about some territories and legions, and the other two... you can make them whatever you want, they never care.

This is very troublesome to operate.

Although it has plenty of patience, foresight also happens to be its motto.

Rather than taking the field to become an opposing player, it is more interested in witnessing the collapse of the iceberg with a small push.

It insists on not getting involved in the game.

Even if it has to intervene, it should not become the protagonist, let alone a strong supporting role, because that will only narrow its vision and make it miss more secrets and fun.

And it has indeed seen a lot because of this.

He saw the desires and secrets of the seven devils, saw the turbulent undercurrents in the dark area due to the interference of more and more human organizations, and also saw the godsend feast that he could wait for without having to preside over it himself.

Right now, right at this moment, right now!

Because of Barbamon's existence, it had to stay far away from where Lucemon was.

But it still found a pretty good position, able to see the two demon kings, Lilithmon.X leading the army to the battlefield, and -

Like a treasure from heaven, the three-headed dragon detonated several secret nodes it was paying attention to the moment it appeared.

There is just one problem.

It was not sure if it was an illusion, but it always felt that the row of inhuman eyes on the dragon head in the middle of the other side were staring at it.
