The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

Chapter 23 Forced Departure

"It's time to start."

Kanda Osamu put down his phone, got everything ready, and then the Tyrannosaurus Rex pointed at the screen and glowed.

Akihiro Kurata's goal is to wake up the sleeping demon king as soon as possible. Although he doesn't know how much time is left, he can no longer waste time.

The vision in front of him was constantly torn apart, and accompanied by a flash of strong white light, Kanda Osamu jumped from cyberspace to the terminal placed inside DATS.

He stood up quickly, and just as he arrived, red lights began to flash in the building and a shrill alarm sounded in his ears.

Satsuma and the others who were staying in the coastal warehouse should have started to take action.

This is exactly the countermeasure that Kanda Osamu and Satsuma Rentaro discussed together. In order to prevent the Gizmon Army from hindering their actions inside DATS, when Kanda Osamu enters the inside of the base, Satsuma Rentaro will expose his position at the same time to attract them to capture him.

Meanwhile, inside DATS, the logistics personnel were also evacuating. All they had to do next was to move upwards along the route provided by Fujimatsu Arata. Judging from Kurata Akihiro's performance, he would most likely not leave the Demon King's side.

Kanda Osamu ran wildly in the red passage. This was the best time to stop Kurata Akihiro. The Demon King had not yet awakened, and the legion protecting him had been led away.

Kanda Osamu pressed the button without hesitation and took the elevator all the way up to the top floor.

According to Fujimatsu's new information, this is an area guarded by a large number of Gitzmons, and Kurata Akihiro should have transported the Demon King to this floor.

At this time, there was no sign of Gizmon on this floor. Kanda Osamu rushed out of the elevator door and was about to observe the situation around him when he suddenly heard crisp applause.

Following the direction of the voice, in Kanda Osamu's field of vision, a middle-aged man in a white coat slowly walked out of the shadows. His eyes were blocked by the red-glowing lenses, so his eyes could not be seen clearly.

"You are here after all, the savior chosen by the World Tree?"

With his hands spread out with a pompous expression, Akihiro Kurata bowed slightly and paid respect to Kanda Osamu.

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Akihiro Kurata was standing there. His arrival was beyond Kanda Osamu's expectation. Kanda had originally been thinking that he could let Kurata meet him without any preparation.

"You look surprised... Did you think I couldn't detect the movements of those little mice?"

After meeting Kanda Osamu, Kurata Akihiro understood that these people would never give up the opportunity to stop him. Although he didn't know the exact location of Satsuma Rentaro, as long as he stayed inside DATS, they would come to him on their own.

No matter who comes, he is confident that he can deal with the other party.

It seems that we have to deal with Akihiro Kurata here.

While he was talking on the other side, Kanda Osamu had already taken out the Tyrannosaurus Rex, ready to summon Omegamon to catch him off guard.

After a few days of recuperation, the Paladin has recovered.

But as the light flashed, when Omegamon appeared in this area, Kanda Osamu did not see any panic on Kurata Akihiro's face.

Things are getting weirder and weirder.

With a sick smile still on his pale face, Akihiro Kurata just raised his head and carefully observed the figure of the Paladin.

"Omegamon... the Royal Knight who was confirmed dead."

Akihiro Kurata stretched out his hand, and under the thick white coat, the human body began to gradually disintegrate, and all the limbs were twisted to a certain extent.

"Do you know why you are still alive now?"

"what?"

Kanda Osamu looked towards his location. At this time, he could no longer see the human form of Kurata Akihiro. In this red area, he finally tore off his disguise.

[Eater - Humanoid Form]

The data like bandages formed a human-like shape. He shook his body and slowly approached Omegamon and Kanda Shu.

"It's you, this fellow..."

After a brief silence, Kanda Osamu stared at this invader he had never seen before, and gradually guessed the general truth. Just as Black Dilumon said, this invader was indeed in human form, which was very different from the original species.

Akihiro Kurata, this madman, voluntarily gave himself to the [Devourer] to be devoured and integrated, and in the end he still retained his consciousness.

"Your appearance reminds me of a long time ago, when your partner had the same surprised expression when he saw us."

"Omegamon, do it!"

The moment Kanda Osamu finished speaking, Omegamon raised his right arm, and Steel Wolf's eyes shone with ice-blue light.

"Come to think of it, you and your Paladin have been active for too long. Now..."

Faced with the Garuru Cannon that was almost pointed at its head, [Devourer - Humanoid Form] remained indifferent. It took a few steps forward without panic, while lowering its voice.

"It's time for you to leave."

As soon as the words fell, a strange scene occurred.

"careful!"

Kanda Shuu pounced on Omegamon.

The tentacles dotted with flesh-colored spots gave them almost no time to react, and countless tentacles suddenly emerged from under the red and white cloak on Omegamon's back.

The strange tentacles quickly wrapped around the entire body of the Paladin, and he was unable to break free even if he tried his best.

Kanda Osamu had no time to think about what was happening. How could a [Devourer] appear in his partner's body? The tentacles that kept wriggling were still pouring out of the cloak, and soon extended to the deepest part of this floor.

It was as if real flesh and blood were entangled around them. Kanda Osamu could even feel the smooth and disgusting touch. While binding them, black and white data continued to emerge, eroding Omegamon and his data.

The glory of the Paladin is gradually dimming under the erosion of these strange data.

After a brief panic and confirming that there was no way to escape, Kanda Osamu gradually calmed down. He barely raised his head. At this time, the [Invader] formed by Kurata Akihiro was standing in front of them, observing everything quietly. He finally understood why the other party was not in a hurry.

Omegamon became connected to [Devourer] at some point.

Even though it was a human body, Kanda Osamu could feel that the consciousness of the [Devourer] was beginning to become entangled with his own. The tentacles with a large number of flesh-colored spots wrapped him into a ball, and the space for breathing became smaller and smaller.

"Why do you think the Royal Knight, who should have died long ago, is still alive?"

Looking at Kanda Osamu who was tightly bound by the tentacles of the [Devourer], Kurata Akihiro suddenly stretched out his right hand, instantly accelerating the speed of erosion.

At the same time, a data channel connecting to cyberspace appeared above his head and slowly expanded.

"Thanks to the master's mercy, because it is because of our help that your partner has survived until now."

The Paladin's struggle was no match for the Devourer's erosion. At the moment when the strange tentacles completely wrapped him and Kanda Osamu, Omegamon found that there was darkness above his and his partner's heads.

That's not a normal data space.

He wanted to tell his partner the information, but it was too late.

The final consciousness completely collapsed, and he completely lost his perception of the outside world.

Omegamon and Kanda Shu's consciousness fell into a strange darkness.

Chapter 24: Sleeping Demon

“This scene is really new every time I see it.”

Watching the Paladin being dragged into the data space by the [Devourer], the Cherubim quietly appeared beside Akihiro Kurata and said.

After being entangled by the [Devourer], neither the Royal Knights nor the Four Sacred Beasts were able to break free from the [Devourer] and could only watch their data being eroded bit by bit.

"It seems I have to be careful and not give you any chances."

"They have been taken to the space where the terminal is located."

Slowly returning to his human form, Akihiro Kurata looked at Cherubimon with a smile, not paying any attention to what he said, with a hint of relief in his tone.

"Now that we have dealt with all the people who are in the way, we can now awaken Belphemon with peace of mind."

"Then let's go, let me see the power of the Sleeping Demon."

Akihiro Kurata chuckled and led Cherubimon to the deepest part of the floor. At the end of the road, a long and thick pipe was connected to the storage device where the Sleeping Devil was located, and the data transmitted into it was gradually decreasing.

Belphemon, the lazy demon king among the seven demon kings, is gradually waking up after a long sleep. Standing in front of him, Cherubimon can even feel the heavy heartbeat coming from the device.

"Genbumon's life data was running low, so thanks to him, it didn't take much effort to wake up Belphemon."

The Cherubim looked up at the Sleeping Demon King covered in an unknown liquid. He suddenly remembered something, "Have you ever tried to erode a Digimon at the level of the Demon King? That huge amount of data will surely greatly enhance your abilities."

When [Evelope-Eve] appeared, Cherubimon was observing the battle in the dark. At the end of the battle, the evolved [Evelope-Eve] was far more difficult to deal with than its original form. If its opponent was not the Royal Knights or the Fairy Knights, ordinary Ultimate forms would not be able to deal with it.

Even when Omegamon and the others joined forces, it still took a lot of effort to deal with the Eve form.

"The idea of ​​the Corrosion Demon Lord is indeed attractive, but we value his authority and destructive power over Digimon more. After becoming a [Devourer], these things will no longer exist."

Akihiro Kurata placed his hand on the storage device. The sleeping demon king inside seemed to sense his arrival. His huge head shook slightly and he made a snoring sound, indicating his presence to him.

Demon Lord Digimon are a special group of Digimon in the digital world. They possess powers that are unique to them. Being at the top of the demon and dark Digimon, the Demon Lords will not turn the Digimon they kill into Digi-Eggs, but instead turn them into their own flesh and blood to provide power for the next resurrection or awakening.

Akihiro Kurata looked at Belphemon - Sleeping Form, his eyes full of praise hidden behind his lenses. The amount of data contained in it made him unable to control himself, and his right hand began to gradually become digitized.

Just as his arm was about to reach into the sleeping device.

"Ahem... that won't do."

After seeing his actions, Cherubimon, who was standing behind Kurata Akihiro, coughed lightly, stopping him from taking any further actions and waking Kurata up from his own world.

"Don't think you can do anything to Belphemon just because he's in his current state. Even in his sleeping form, this sleeping demon still has the ability to sense the outside world."

He said so.

With a sigh, Akihiro Kurata withdrew his hand. After a brief silence, he suddenly turned his head and a gloomy smile appeared again.

"It seems that those little mice of Samo have also been caught. Now there is really no one who can stop us."

He threw a bunch of keys to Cherubimon, turned around and left the storage room with a bit of leisure.

"Where are you going?"

Cherubimon took the key, a little dazed. He did not expect Kurata Akihiro to do this. He cast his gaze at Kurata's back curiously.

"From now on, I'll leave everything here to you. After you wake up Belphemon, remember to notify me. I have more important things to do now."

With a casual wave of his hand, Akihiro Kurata's voice echoed in the empty room, and he slowly disappeared into the shadows.

……

When Satsuma Rentaro was captured by the Gitzmon Army, he still hadn't received the news from Kanda Osamu about the successful operation.

Looking at the Gizmon that surrounded him, Samo gradually calmed down. He sighed secretly, realizing that their plan had failed.

If even the Chosen Ones with Paladins cannot deal with Akihiro Kurata, they may have no other choice for a while. The sleeping Demon King will wake up in the city, and DATS, which has been completely controlled by the enemy, will become a tool for the Demon King to invade the human world.

"So...what exactly happened?"

Satsuma didn't understand why after Kanda Osamu entered DATS, there was no sound of fighting. It seemed that Kurata, who had not yet awakened the Demon King, didn't even have to use any effort to defeat the Paladin.

Something must have happened there that I didn't know about.

The Gizmons in charge of capturing him did not answer his question, but slowly moved forward, restrained him and took him away.

After the few remaining members of DATS were arrested, this city completely became Akihiro Kurata's home ground.

“This is really bad…”

Inside Kamishiro Enterprises in the city center, Suedou Akimi looked out the window and saw artificial Digimon called guard robots moving around the streets.

His connection with Kanda Osamu was cut off.

Suedou Akimi seemed to know what was happening. He stopped what he was originally planning to do, completely turned off the power in the laboratory, and slowly came to the core area of ​​Kamishiro Enterprise.

At this time, Ri-e Kishibe was sitting quietly in her seat, admiring the red roses she had just bought.

"Remember to notify me when you need me to interrupt the electronic EDEN."

He didn't say any more nonsense, as Suedou Akimi knew exactly who this Kamishiro president in front of him was. Although he still didn't know what these Royal Knights were secretly planning, he knew that their plans had changed since Kanda Osamu and his partner were exposed.

Kanda Osamu and Omegamon became the key to this plan.

When Suedou finished saying this, a strange pressure seemed to appear in the office, and then he saw Kishibe Riie's gaze shift from Rose to himself.

Data consisting of 0s and 1s vaguely appeared above Riie Kishibe's head, and a pink light appeared in her golden eyes.

"Do what you have to do, Moto."
