The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

The sharp moonlight emanated from the wolf claws on the Beast Knight's arms. The power of the crescent moon danced with the body of Phantom Gaogamon, making a "humming" sound. The claws galloping like the wind instantly cut open the hands of Demonmon.

The Angry Demon King narrowed his eyes: "Another knight?"

A raging flame like a long snake surged out from the demon's claws at his will, ready to deal a heavy blow to the phantom Gaogamon in front of him.

"Whip of Thorns!"

The soft and sharp thorn whip wrapped around Thunder and bound the Demon Beast's hands, making a "hissing" sound of electricity. The Demon Beast roared and controlled the fire again to destroy these fragile thorns.

But the phantom Gaogamon was obviously not going to give him this opportunity. While Demonmon had not yet broken free from his restraints, he jumped high, accumulated all the energy in his body, and released super crossbow-level energy with sharp moonlight from his wolf-like chest.

Full Moon Shockwave!

With a boom like the sound of thunder in a storm, the Crescent Power of the Beast Rider exploded and suddenly struck the bound Angry Lord, the impact causing him to stumble back and the waves of the entire area to surge.

Demonmon took a few steps back, his face gloomy. Although the attacks of the two Digimon in front of him were not very strong, their tacit cooperation did cause him a lot of trouble. If they had arrived before the Paladin left, they might have been able to repel him.

He showed a cold smile and observed the expressions of Thomas and Fujieda Shuno:

"Reptiles, is all you can do to keep each other warm?"

Neither Phantom Gaogamon nor Rosemon said anything, they just hunched their bodies slightly, ready for battle.

Seeing that his provocation was useless, the demon beast showed a ferocious smile, and the [All-Seeing Eye] hidden in the cloak quietly operated:

"Well, since you are unwilling to beg for mercy, I will let you see what anger is!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, with a howl like the wind, Demonmon suddenly pounced on Rosemon, aimed at Rosemon's chest, and swung out its claws burning with flaming flames.

Rosemon, who was unable to resist in time, could only raise the two slender rose rapiers in his hands and passively defend while retreating. However, the angry demon king's powerful attack contained extremely destructive energy, and the whistling claws seemed to be completely unhindered.

The burning flames brushed across Rosemon's body, leaving two terrible scars. Demonmon attempted to continue attacking, but the All-Seeing Eye on top of its head observed the Phantom Gaogamon rushing up from the other side.

Demonmon pulled back, giving Rosemon a chance to catch his breath. He turned his head and opened his ferocious mouth. Snakes of hellfire emerged from it. Then, Phantom Gaogamon was surrounded by this strange fire.

"Phantom Gaogamon, plan B."

"Understood, partner."

Upon receiving the order, Phantom Gaogamon put his claws in front of his chest, and then released a special move "Double Moon Phantom" that looked like a crescent moon from his hands, which cut through the vortex surrounded by the hellfire in an instant.

However, the demon beast was waiting for him outside the whirlpool.

With strange blue flames, Demonmon once again swung its sharp claws. Phantom Gaogamon could only hastily raise his arms to block the attack. After being forced back by the flames, he let out a cry of pain, and the wolf claw wristbands wrapped around his hands had cracks.

"reptile!"

Leaving behind the mocking humiliation, Demonmon no longer stayed in front of him. It flapped its bat wings behind it, roared, and pounced towards Rosemon again.

Rosemon endured the pain from the wound on her chest, as countless roses entwined and surrounded her body. Before Devilmon's attack arrived, her whole body emanated a pink glow.

Forbidden temptation!

A pink energy with unbound rose petals bombarded the Angry Demon King. Demonmon let out a deafening roar, and withstood Rosemon's special move. Its claws filled with anger suddenly slapped out, and strange flames wrapped around Rosemon's body from both sides, directly interrupting her special move.

"Two worthless pieces of trash want to stop the Demon King?"

The demon beast bared its teeth, revealing a ferocious smile, its fangs full of disdain for them.

"This land will soon have a new ruler. If you are willing to surrender, I can give you a satisfactory ending."

"dream!"

Phantom Gaogamon and Rosemon struggled to stand up. Even though they were injured to varying degrees, they still wanted to fight hard.

"Then die!"

The demon beast no longer held back after losing its last bit of patience.

Chapter 46: Determination

How would it feel to be drowned by churning waters?

First, endless sea water choked his mouth, and then he was completely unable to breathe and could only breathe through his nose subconsciously, which only caused too much sea water to enter his lungs. Before he clearly felt the pain of his body being torn apart, he would first hear a buzzing sound in his brain caused by water entering his eardrums.

This is how Kanda Osamu feels now.

After Omegamon and he were thrown into the sea by Demonmon, the seriously injured Paladin was no longer able to distract himself to protect his partner. He only had time to leave a last bit of light for Kanda Osamu before being sucked into the Tyrannosaurus Rex on Kanda's chest.

The light could only delay Kanda from being submerged by the sea water. As the light disappeared, there was almost no oxygen that could be absorbed into his body. His limbs were becoming increasingly weak as he was submerged by the sea, and he could not struggle at this moment.

Fortunately, I brought goggles...

Anyway, this is the only good news I can accept today.

The vision began to blur.

Before his brain lost consciousness due to lack of oxygen, Kanda Osamu reached out and tightly grasped the Tyrannosaurus Rex placed on his chest.

……

[Wake up, Kanda Osamu, open your eyes...]

[Wake up...]

An inexplicable low voice came into his mind, and when Kanda Osamu regained consciousness, he found himself lying in a cradle made of tree branches and covered with green leaves.

Faced with such a situation, Kanda Osamu was very confused. He stood up and looked around. He noticed that the cradle was actually hung on the crown of a tree as tall as the sky. He immediately stood up from it. Then he found a striking stone tablet right in front of the cradle.

After a slight pause, he gently got down from the cradle and came to the dusty tombstone. He gently brushed away the dust with his fingertips, and a string of letters emitting a faint white light came into his field of vision.

Askr Yggdrasills

"……This is?"

Forgotten memories emerge again.

Before countless memories of the past forced his brain to explode, Kanda Osamu finally remembered where he had seen the name before.

That was the last sentence I saw before completing the game.

[I am Yggdrasil, also known as the World Tree...]

At this moment, Kanda Osamu finally had a rough guess about his location.

This place... might be the residence of the god in the digital world.

"Are you alright? My Chosen One."

The next second after Kanda Osamu came to his conclusion, a greeting came from behind him, from someone unknown, male or female.

Turning around slowly, Kanda Osamu, whose consciousness was still blurred, saw a stranger, or rather, a god, whose whole body was shrouded in hazy light and shadow.

A hazy shadow appeared in front of the cradle at some point and sat on it. The green cradle, full of vitality, was swaying gently without any external force.

"Long time no see?"

A neutral voice sounded, and inexplicably, Kanda Osamu actually felt a familiar tone in it.

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

He hesitated for a moment: "Should I call you World Tree or Yggdrasil?"

"up to you."

"Then let's go with the World Tree."

Kanda Osamu nodded, then turned his gaze towards the World Tree and raised his question:

"What's the matter that brought me here?"

He still remembered what he was doing before he lost consciousness. Although he didn't know why the former god was looking for him, Kanda Shu's intuition told him that he had to go back quickly, back to that battlefield.

"..."

The World Tree did not answer the question immediately. He just quietly looked at the confused expression on the boy's face.

Kanda Osamu: “?”

After a long time, due to some unknown influence, Kanda Shu's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and at this time the World Tree suddenly sighed.

"I am here to help you solve the doubt in your heart that you want the answer to the most." He said.

The answer you want most...?

This reply made Kanda Osamu lower his head and think for a while. Many questions emerged in his mind at this time, and he wanted to know the answers to these questions.

but--

This is not the most important one.

"call……"

After exhaling a breath, Kanda Osamu looked up with inexplicable emotions and looked at the hazy light and shadow on the cradle.

"I want to know..."

He, who was originally confused, now became extremely calm and spoke.

"Why has my badge lost its original power?"

"uh-huh……"

Hearing this, the World Tree let out a low laugh, as if mocking Kanda Osamu's question.

"From your tone, do you think this is because of me?"

"Isn't it?" Kanda Shu frowned and asked in confusion, "The badge went out when I left the Digital World. Didn't you take back the power?"

"I don't deny that I took that power."

A neutral voice that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female had a strange tone, and the cradle under him continued to rock gently without stopping for a moment.

"But I gave it to your partner, Omegamon."

"That is to say, for all this time..." In the dim light that Kanda Shuu could not see, the corners of the god's mouth slightly raised, "That power has always been with you. You can't make it shine, just because you are not qualified."

"What did you say?" Kanda Osamu frowned, a little angry.

In terms of his cooperation with Omegamon, Kanda admitted that he had done his best, but he could not agree with what Yggdrasil said.

But then, the question from the World Tree caused the pupils of this former Chosen One to shrink suddenly.

“Don’t be angry. I was not wrong in this matter. I know everything about you, such as... a person from another world?” He asked.

"how do you know……"

Kanda Osamu never thought that he would hear such a question.

Time travel is a secret, a secret that has never been told to anyone else, even if he thinks he has traveled through time to his own body.

For a moment, my thoughts were in turmoil.

There is no doubt that this question from the World Tree confused Kanda Osamu, and he couldn't even think about what they were discussing the second before.

"This is not a secret. At least I know it very well. As for dynamic balance, He probably doesn't have the brain for it now."

"dynamic equilibrium?"

"It's what you call the new god of the digital world, constancy. I'm more used to calling it dynamic balance."

The tone of the World Tree was very calm, but Kanda Shu still heard a hint of disgust in his words.

A battle between gods?

"I don't have much time left... Well, let's continue our conversation." Guangying didn't intend to give him any time to think.

"When I said you were not qualified, I didn't mean it was because you were an outsider."

He paused for two seconds before continuing, "It's because you lost your original heart."

Heart?

A feeling of confusion once again arose in Kanda Shu's heart. He was unable to understand what the World Tree was saying, and his consciousness gradually became cloudy.

"…The answer you are looking for is the heart. Once you find it, all difficulties will be solved."

The light and shadow sitting on the cradle began to blur, and the sounds entering his ears became intermittent. It was not until the last moment before "He" disappeared that Kanda Shu could hear His reminder clearly.
