"The world does not revolve around you alone, my chosen one."
Chapter 187 Gathering
Nakano Broadway, Mukai Office.
"Knock knock knock!" There was a rapid knock on the door, accompanied by Daimon's voice, and Kanda Osamu's thoughts were forcibly interrupted.
He had no choice but to get up and open the door, and said helplessly: "Door, there's no need to knock so hard, right?"
"Ha, haha...it's just that there are other people who are eager to see you."
After saying that, he turned his chin slightly towards his companion beside him. Two familiar figures were standing there. Only then did Kanda Osamu see the two guests standing next to him. They were Thomas and Fujieda Shunno from DATS.
"Hey, Kanda, good morning."
"Eh...? Thomas, did you guys also receive the notice?"
"notify?"
Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, Kanda Shu originally wanted to explain, but then he felt that this was a bit inappropriate, so he shook his head at him.
"Nothing, what a coincidence, we meet here."
"Yeah, what a coincidence...what are you doing here?"
Thomas answered subconsciously, but then he came to his senses and continued, "Wait, that's not the point. We need your help urgently! Kanda."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the gate beside him, only to find that the other party had already walked into the office in a carefree manner. From his skillful movements, it seemed as if he had returned home, or at least it was not his first time here.
"Let's go to the office first. We can sit down and talk about anything."
Without waiting for Thomas to continue speaking, Kanda Shuya said, he simply took two steps back, leaving space for the entrance.
"Okay, let's go in and sit down first."
Fujieda Toshino spread her hands helplessly. She took a look inside the office and then walked in with Thomas.
"I'm afraid we don't have enough time to talk slowly, Kanda, I suggest..."
Thomas walked in as he spoke. He was a man who was very good at controlling his emotions, but when faced with the fact that the Tyrannosaurus Rex was broken, he couldn't help but feel impatient. When he was about to say something, he was rudely interrupted by someone.
"Noren?! Why are you here, and Yukinoshita-san?"
Mikihara Noren was startled by Daimon's voice, and then with a "hum", the white mug hit Daimon's head. Fortunately, Little Pudding didn't use much strength, and Daimon easily caught the blow.
"What do you want to do, you despicable woman?"
Daimon was furious. He scratched his sleeves and wanted to launch a counterattack immediately, but the presence of Yukinoshita Yukino restricted his actions.
"how?"
Mikihara Noren raised her eyebrows. She sat in the middle of the sofa, leaning against Yukinoshita Yukino who had arrived not long ago. The two seemed very close and there was no sense of distance between them.
In fact, they have known each other for a long time. That was the connection they made during the fight against Akihiro Kurata, and they both knew Kanda Osamu. Although they rarely communicated with each other, they always saw each other when it came to Digimon events.
"Damn it...just wait and see."
Da Men answered with gritted teeth, but his confidence was a little lacking, as he had never expected that these two people would actually sit together.
"Miki-san, please don't use me as a shield."
Yukinoshita Yukino sat on the sofa and refused to join in the fight between the two. According to her code of conduct, she came here because she had important things to do, but before she started, she heard Kanda Osamu say that they needed to wait for other people, so she didn't say much and just sat on the sofa and waited for them quietly.
But she didn't expect that once these chosen ones arrived, she was forced to be involved in the war between Mikihara Noren and Daimon Dai.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Mikihara Noren with her golden hair shaking with some curiosity. Although her image was somewhat damaged after she started talking, at least before Daimon arrived, Mikihara Noren sitting on the sofa really looked a bit like a princess.
"So what are you talking about..."
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
Just as Kanda Osamu was about to join the conversation between the three people, there was a slight knock on the door. Nishijima Daigo pushed open the door. He took a quick glance inside the room and an unexpected expression appeared on his face.
"It's fine if it's just you guys...but why is Miki-san here too?"
Under the somewhat puzzled gaze of Daigo Nishijima, Mikihara Noren stood up from the sofa and casually walked to the main seat in the office and sat down.
"So, everyone should be here now, right?"
Kanda Shuya breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around and felt for the first time that the office had become so crowded. It seemed to be the first time it had welcomed so many guests.
At this moment, even Fujieda Toshino, who seldom met them, realized that the identities of the people present were somewhat special.
Thomas narrowed his eyes, glanced at the chosen ones on the sofa, raised his head and asked.
"Kanda, can you explain to us what's going on?"
"...Of course, no problem."
Kanda Shuu glanced back at the culprit sitting in the main seat, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, he had no choice but to turn around and begin to explain for the several chosen ones present.
"You all should know this, right? Many citizens suffered from EDEN syndrome last night and fell into a long coma. This should be a sign that the Paladins are about to take action, and it must be a large-scale action. The light of the Tyrannosaurus is notifying everyone. We must stop them before that happens."
Kanda Osamu said that he just learned the news this morning. The Ministry of Confidentiality and DATS attached great importance to this incident, and all channels were reporting on the related incident.
"Right now, the only ones capable of stopping the Paladins on the battlefield are us, the Chosen. You must work with your Digimon partners to stop the Royal Knights from taking action before things get any worse."
After listening to Kanda Osamu's words, Thomas and Fujieda Shuno fell silent. It was obvious that they guessed why they didn't know about this, because their Tyrannosaurus Rex had been broken before the notification was issued, but Kanda Osamu probably didn't know this news yet...
"So, what are you two doing here?"
Kanda Osamu looked at Thomas again. He was a little curious why Fujieda and Thomas appeared here with the gate.
"Why... do you know that our Tyrannosaurus Rex is broken?"
Thomas suddenly asked, and then Fujieda Shuno followed his voice.
"Kanda, did you get the news from Daimon?"
What is this... nonsense?
Kanda Osamu's mind was a little confused, and for a moment he felt like his brain had turned into a ball of paste.
"What Tyrannosaurus? I don't understand what you mean, but if you're asking why we didn't invite you..."
He turned his head and glanced at Mikihara Noren behind him. After seeing the other party nod seriously, he said as if it was a matter of course:
"Because the god who chose us is not the same one, and this meeting was initiated by one of the gods."
Chapter 188 Norn's Identity
"So... everyone should understand, right?"
"what?"
Except for Yukinoshita Yukino who knew the truth, the other chosen ones present were all stunned. The situation unfolded too quickly and they were completely unable to understand what was happening.
"The gods who have the power to choose the savior include not only the current Constancy, but also the fallen World Tree." Mikihara Norn added at the right time: "Everyone here, except Thomas and Fujieda Shuno, has been chosen by the World Tree itself."
Thomas remembered this incident. Nishijima and Satsuma had mentioned it to them, but he still found it hard to believe. It was okay for seniors Kanda and Nishijima, but why were their juniors, Yukinoshita Yukino and Daimon Dai, also chosen by the World Tree? Didn't that god already fall?
He suddenly felt misunderstood, which was terrible.
"It's really terrible..."
Fujieda Toshino uttered her catchphrase again, and then she raised her head and asked a question to Mikihara Noren.
"so?"
"Hmm, so you were not invited to this meeting."
Mikihara Norn answered. She was still sitting in the main seat of the office, looking down at the group of chosen ones gathered in the room, who had infinite possibilities and infinite futures.
"After all... this meeting is hosted by me, World Tree, personally."
Her golden hair swayed slightly, and it was as if a blazing white light was shining on her body through the window. As Mikihara Noren finished speaking, the office was rarely filled with a warm atmosphere, and the girl's appearance was undergoing some subtle changes.
World Tree: Armed Stance.
The white dress gracefully draped to the ground, flowing as softly as a white feather, making Norn's skin look brighter and giving people a pure and fresh feeling. The decorative patterns on the skirt were like engraved ancient runes, adding a mysterious beauty to the whole.
Mikihara Noren held a scepter wrapped with tree branches, which rarely gave off a sacred aura. However, this time the sacredness was too much, making it difficult for the people in the room to open their eyes.
"Could it be... a meteorite fell in front of me?"
“Why are the light bulbs in the office so bright?”
"Somewhat like the high beams on a sedan...but not as strong."
"Hey, Kanda, is this where you usually work?"
The chaotic sounds were as noisy as in a vegetable market. At the beginning, Mikihara Noren could still maintain the mysterious elegance of a god, but as the chosen ones in the room began to discuss more intensely, even the bark of the World Tree was not enough.
"Don't mention meteorites or anything like that. Even if you said the sun sets in front of us, I wouldn't be surprised at all."
Kanda Osamu covered his eyes and finally touched the main seat of the office. Before he reached out to teach a god a lesson, Mikihara Noren finally retracted the light, allowing the entire office to return to its previous state. Kanda Osamu opened his eyes and found that the lights in the office were so dim.
Of course, what he was thinking about more now was beating up Mikihara Noren.
Perhaps, he was not the only one who had this idea. Although Kanda Shu believed that he was the most loyal chosen one of the World Tree, judging from Norn's various performances, she and the World Tree definitely did not have the same consciousness. After all, even if she did nothing, it would be stupid enough for Norn to just stand there.
As expected, not long after I opened my eyes, I heard Golden Pudding's cry of pain.
"Did you go steal the generator?"
Da Men withdrew his hand unhappily. He felt as if he had seen heaven after death... In a sense, the Norn in front of him was really no different from the God of Heaven.
It was not clear how hard his friend's blow was, but it should not have been too painful. Kanda Osamu shrugged helplessly, directly blocking out Mikihara Noren's screams of pain.
This was a strange meeting, and it started to get out of control after Mikihara Noren joined.
Yukinoshita Yukino still looked calm, but she actually took advantage of the chaos to express her own opinions. At this time, she was holding a mug in her left hand, and her trembling body seemed to be trying hard to hold back a smile. Thomas sat there somewhat uncomfortably after his eyes were flashed, and because of his shaking body, he was stepped on by Fujieda Toshino.
Nishijima Daigo rubbed his eyes, and after he finally recovered, he sat there muttering to himself. He was probably preparing to assign more Chinese homework to a classmate named Miki after school started.
"What is this? Is it the World Tree's scepter?"
It looked very familiar, and after searching his memory, Kanda Osamu finally found its origin in his mind.
Isn't this scepter... the possession of Barbamon, the Demon Lord of Greed? Wasn't it cut off and destroyed by Omegamon's Tyrannosaurus Sword?
Thinking of this, Kanda Osamu remembered that they seemed to have something serious to discuss, but before he opened his mouth, he noticed that Mikihara Noren raised the scepter in his hand, and without waiting for him to stop him, he stepped on the chair and stood on the main seat of the office.
It’s over... If Sister Mu Hai saw this scene, she would probably rush back from where she works now, right?
"But, it seems that..."
Kanda Osamu looked at Mikihara Noren who was holding the scepter. Although it was only wrapped with a few branches, a closer look revealed that Mikihara Noren really had some of the aura of the World Tree, and the power of authority was emanating from her body.
"What are you thinking?"
A calm voice interrupted Kanda Osamu's thoughts. He turned his head and found that Yukinoshita Yukino had approached him at some point. She was staring at Kanda Osamu with a puzzled look on her face, and his face was reflected in her ice-blue eyes.
"Nothing... I just feel that Norn is totally different from the god I have in mind."
Kanda Osamu told Yukinoshita the story of that journey, but he didn't say much about the specific details of the god, Yggdrasil, because he only met that god once, at the end of the game.
“It’s really hard to see, but if you look closely you can still find some differences.”
The corners of Yukinoshita Yukino's mouth rose slightly, and her gaze shifted to Mikihara Noren on the table, observing the faint light emanating from her.
"At least, there are still gods willing to stand on our side."
Kanda Osamu nodded. Although there were some differences between the World Tree and the one in his memory, she was, after all, the isomorph separated from that god. The power she displayed was enough to convince the chosen ones. However, this unreliable appearance was also deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone present.
"This is beyond my expectation."
Nishijima Daigo also came over and said with a smile: "So you two know about this? Sharing a secret?"
Chapter 189 Battle Plan
"Teacher Nishijima, what are you talking about?"
Kanda Osamu pretended not to understand what Nishijima Daigo said and just pushed him with a look of disgust. This expression was too familiar to Nishijima Daigo. "Hurry up and get to work, teacher. Don't you have anything else to do?"
Nishijima Daigo shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"Your acting is terrible. Don't you look like you're enjoying it?"
“……” Kanda Osamu didn’t want to continue this topic.
