Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

He had once been the strongest under Lord Bagramon and participated in the battle against Omegamon, so he would never back down in front of others.

"Hey you!"

The gatekeeper shouted, "You should at least state your name before you fight! Which group are you from? Apocalypse, Belial the Bloodsucking Beast, Imperial Demon... never mind, that's impossible. You seem alright; you shouldn't be so stupid as to collude with those things."

"So, does that mean they're subordinates of the Six-Winged Beast, or members of the Crystal Beast, or perhaps a dark group from that ancient, unknown Digital World in the sky?"

Upon hearing this, the strategy beast's face turned ashen, and it flew into a rage.

"Human, what nonsense are you spouting? Are you trying to provoke me? Lord Bagula rules the entire Digital World, and yet you've gone around in circles and haven't mentioned a single word about him? Are you looking down on Lord Bagula?!"

"Hey, Bagura?"

This time, it was Daimon's turn to be stunned. "Wait, buddy, after Bagra was defeated by Taiki, didn't he turn over a new leaf and just lie down and become an old man? It can't be that a time rewind would reignite his ambition, right? And I heard that from the very beginning, Crystal Beast imprisoned or even possibly devoured that old man, Bagra Beast."

"How come none of you, Bagula's men, know this?"

"Nonsense!" the Strategy Beast immediately retorted. "What Crystal Beast? I've never even heard of it! Are you saying someone can imprison or even devour Lord Bagura single-handedly? You dare say such a thing? Do you even believe it yourself? Besides, I've heard that Lord Bagura is still ordering the annihilation of all the Chosen Children."

Da Menda's eyes immediately sharpened.

According to Strategymon, could it be that Crystalmon, having died once, used its intelligence to imprison Bagramon and, under Bagra's name, ordered its subordinate forces, who were unaware of the truth, to mobilize and hunt down the Chosen Children of past generations?

This is really...

"Honestly, the World Tree is so confusing. The Royal Knights have been forced to go out in full force to fight against the Digital Death God, Emperor Demon. They were already short-handed and had no one to protect them, and now the Crystal Beast is causing all this trouble..."

Daimon raised his fist and pointed at Strategymon, "Hey, you guys, if you're really loyal to Bagramon, you should switch sides and come over here sooner rather than later. I'm not lying to you!"

"Still telling such ridiculous lies." Lilithmon chuckled, and together with Blastmon, they didn't believe it for a second.

"Is that so? Well, that's normal. It seems you won't calm down and believe me unless we use our fists to communicate properly. So, let's go!"

The gatekeeper warmed up, took a deep breath, and prepared to fight the three warriors alone.

"Wait, it's dangerous!" From behind, Kido Takeru finally snapped out of his daze and became concerned.

The gatekeeper turned around and gave Ah Zhu a thumbs up:

"Don't worry, we'll win if we stake our reputation as the fighting gang leader!"

Chapter 85 Impending Destruction

"Since the day before yesterday, unprecedented mirages have been observed in various countries and regions. According to expert investigations, these mirages cannot be compared with those in other parts of the Earth. It is speculated that they may be ancient landscapes of the Earth refracted into the present day through some unknown quantum fluctuations and observed by humans..."

"Along with the appearance of mirages, there is also climate deterioration around the world, and the number of unpredictable typhoons and earthquakes is gradually increasing."

"In view of the above situation, countries have jointly announced the temporary suspension of three things: school closures, work closures, and transportation halts. All citizens are also asked to protect themselves, avoid travel to avoid natural disasters, stock up on food and water, and to reiterate, avoid travel."

"Regarding the recent missing persons caused by natural disasters, the authorities are making every effort to search for them. Families are advised to stay home and avoid going out."

"—What? Yes, here's a news flash: satellite imagery has confirmed the presence of various unknown life forms in the areas where different mirages were previously observed."

"These unknown life forms are of different sizes. The photos will be transported over soon. When the following photos are broadcast, I will show the location of the unknown life forms."

"Please stay away from these addresses. The United Nations has not yet confirmed whether the unknown life forms are hostile to humans, nor can it know whether the unknown life forms are as fearsome as all known life forms with guns and cannons."

"...Breaking news: The United Nations has confirmed that some unknown life forms have begun to act, actively destroying surrounding human settlements in cities and villages. Countries are currently at war. All citizens are urged to lock their doors and windows and stay away from all unknown life forms."

"Repeat it..."

On television, reporters continued to report on the changes happening on Earth.

Young Jia'er watched the news on the television.

She stood up again and stubbornly walked step by step to the balcony. (This is from a website called "Bichon Chinese Website" and doesn't need translation.)

Looking out from the balcony, the dark clouds in the sky were heavy and oppressive, as if they were about to devour the entire world. From various parts of those clouds, some inverted, otherworldly scenes were faintly visible.

Official aircraft were completely unable to get close to the high altitudes where the mirages were located. Even when missiles were launched, they would suddenly malfunction before reaching the mirages and crash to the ground.

Jia'er looked up at the apocalyptic scene, her face showing no fear, and asked her mother, who was hurriedly collecting laundry, in a clear, ethereal voice, "Mom, will we die?"

thump!

Kari's question was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Yagami's mother, who had been barely managing to calm herself down by numbing herself with daily chores, suddenly burst into tears. She squatted down with a thud, her eyes filled with tears, tightly hugging her little daughter, and sobbing continuously.

"No, it won't happen, Jia'er... We won't die. We'll find your brother, and our whole family will be safe and sound!"

Since the global mirages and extreme climate disasters that occurred the day before yesterday, the Yagami family, along with several other families, received news that their children were missing and their whereabouts unknown.

No matter how hard the police searched, they couldn't find any trace of the children, including Taiyi, as if they had mysteriously vanished.

The Yagami family's parents had long been filled with worry after three days of torment.

If it weren't for their young daughter who needed care, the couple might have long since lost their appetite and lived in a daze. It was only because their young daughter was still alive that Yagami's parents were able to maintain their daily lives and barely manage to avoid going out in the wind and rain to search for their son.

And as the only one of the eight families who lost a child who still has another child, Yagami's parents have been trying their best to comfort the children of the other families these past few days.

However, at this moment, hearing her youngest daughter Wuji's innocent words, Yagami's mother still teared up. (The latest chapters of Mitsuba House are updated quickly.)

She had already lost her son, and if she were to lose her youngest daughter as well, she didn't even dare to think about how she would go on living.

Held in her mother's arms, Jia'er showed none of the same emotional fluctuations as her own mother. She simply gazed at her mother with an ethereal look, her small mouth slightly open, and a voice that spoke not as a guess but as a pronouncement of profound truth uttered: "Brother will not die."

Although her mother hoped her brother was still alive, Jia'er knew that her mother was actually in despair, feeling that if they couldn't find him in such a blizzard-stricken place for three days, the chances of survival were extremely slim.

However, Jia'er knew even more that her brother was alive, and that he was the most powerful person in the world.

"Yes, yes!" Yagami's mother choked up, nodding repeatedly. Her daughter's innocent words were now her source of strength.

Dark clouds loomed over the city, and a tremendous howling wind swept through, sounding like ghosts wailing, oppressing everyone's mind and body.

The Yagami family was in tears, and the rest of the building was even more unsettled. Some people, having survived on instant noodles for three days straight, could no longer bear it and roared at the oppressive weather outside:

"Mirages, earthquakes and typhoons, and then some unknown life form... what's next? Might as well just have a monster apocalypse! At this rate, we'll all be losing internet and electricity. How are we supposed to survive?!"

Hearing this, another person in the building, looking haggard, retorted, "You wish! If there were monsters, then there would be Ultraman! He could wipe them all out no matter what extreme weather conditions they were in. Wouldn't that be great? But in reality, there's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"Ha ha!"

The shouts from the two people across the building slightly cheered up the other people, and quite a few couldn't help but laugh out loud. Even though they knew it was childish, hearing the words "Ultraman" still made them feel better.

In my mind, I subconsciously pictured a giant of light appearing out of nowhere, sweeping away all the oppression.

Well, although I know that's impossible, if it really existed, it would definitely be like that.

After all, that's Ultraman.

"Jia'er, what is Ultraman?"

At the Yagami residence, Gatomon, who looks like a cat, had just sneaked in from outside and was quite curious.

Neither Kari nor Yagami's mother showed any surprise at its appearance and speech.

Ever since the mirage appeared the day before yesterday, Gatomon has been around. At first, it disguised itself as an ordinary cat, but Kari took a liking to it at first sight and brought it home to raise.

Gatomon didn't know what was wrong with him. He had suffered so much at the hands of Myotismon and had been taught by Myotismon to kill the Chosen Children.

However, although the spacetime storm caused by the chaos in the Digital World swept it into the human world, and it knew from the first glance that Hikari Yagami was definitely a chosen child, it couldn't bring itself to harm her.

On the contrary, it immediately took a liking to Jia'er, and even exposed itself because of it.

Fortunately, Jia'er seemed to really like it too, and they hit it off immediately and got along very well.

Of course, that's precisely why Gatomon hasn't revealed a single piece of information about the Digital World or the Chosen Children...

The digital world was already basically

It is a complete victory for darkness. Recently, there have been unspeakable and terrible changes, and even that vampire beast has been forced to become an ant that bows down to the newly emerged darkness.

Faced with such a threat, what could the chosen children do?

It would have been better to let Kari live well on Earth. Unfortunately, even that goal seems impossible to achieve. The mirages in the sky are actually manifestations of the Digital World getting closer to and merging with Earth.

Moreover, based on the fleeting glimpse it saw as it fell through the spacetime storm, it's likely that besides this Earth, at least several other Earths are also falling into the same trap.

On other Earths, at this very moment, just like here, mirages of the Digital World will appear, along with various natural disasters. As the distance between the worlds increases, all sorts of Digimon will gradually arrive in the human world.

As the digital world and the human world gradually approach and merge, the time flow rates that were originally vastly different between the two are gradually becoming equal.

Although at least half a month should have passed in the Digital World by now, while only three days have passed in the Human World, the time flow is already very close.

In the past, it would have taken several months for the digital world to pass, while less than half a day would have passed in the human world.

The clock of destruction has begun to tick, and no one can escape it.

"Ultraman?" Kari tilted her head, then quickly gave a straightforward answer, "It's someone who protects everyone, protects my brother, protects Kari, protects everyone, and also protects Gatomon."

Taichi Yagami is a lively and cheerful person who spends his days making friends and playing soccer. However, Kari is different; Kari is prone to illness these days, so she often stays at home.

Therefore, Taiya Yagami watched very little television, while Kari was different; she watched a lot, including Ultraman.

"It sounds like a stronger version of the Digimon that guards the starting village and the baby Digimon," Gatomon muttered. "But I don't think there's anyone this kind of good person. Even the Royal Knights aren't this nice."

While being swept up in the spacetime storm, Gatomon also saw some fragmented information from the Royal Knights of other Digital Worlds, including a scene of the Royal Knights' ruthless plan to exterminate the entire world during a certain period.

Yagami's mother didn't know what Elekmon was, nor did she know about the Royal Knights. All she knew was that after learning of Gatomon's strangeness, she begged Gatomon to go find Taichi. And now, Gatomon had returned alone, which meant…

"Gatomon, please... have you found Taichi?" Even though she already knew the answer, Yagami's mother still asked with hope.

"Didn't find it." Gatomon shook its head.

It was something it hadn't initially considered: that two children from one family would be chosen, because the probability was very low.

However, it did smell other Digivices at the summer camp, which means that Taichi Yagami and his group were most likely not dead or simply missing, but were chosen to go to the Digital World.

It's like being dead.

If I told her, Kari would probably want to go to the Digital World right away, right?

Gatomon was torn. Although staying on Earth would mean certain death anyway, at least it would allow him to live a little longer. But if he went to the Digital World, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

Gatomon wanted to keep it a secret, but often, things don't go according to plan.

Jia'er looked up at the mirage in the sky, and an ethereal voice appeared: "I want to go and be with my brother."

"Huh?" Gatomon was taken aback. "What are you talking about, Kari?"

Kari looked at Gatomon with a blank expression: "I want to find my brother, I want to find Koromon, I want to go to the Digital World."

Among all the chosen children of the first generation, Hikari Yagami is the most special one besides Taichi Yagami, and in some ways even more special than Taichi Yagami.

Kari is like a medium; she can communicate with constancy and also with other things.
