The roar echoed throughout the entire spiritual space.

Akihiro Kurata was hit hard and flew backwards, rolling on the ground uncontrollably. He finally stood up to absorb the huge impact.

"The God of the New World? You are just an ordinary human being."

Kanda Osamu walked forward slowly, reached out and grabbed Kurata Akihiro by the collar and lifted him up. They looked at each other, and Kurata Akihiro could see firmness and determination in Kanda Osamu's eyes.

What is this chosen one going to do?

"Ever since you tried to threaten me with my friends, I've been wanting to do this. Now is a good opportunity. I'll teach you a lesson for them."

Kanda Shu recalled in his mind the trouble this man had brought him, then he grabbed his collar with his hands and raised his fist high. A deafening roar echoed in this spiritual space the next second.

"Admit your mistake, bastard!"

Chapter 40: A Detective

In the center of the ruined battlefield, the wounded White Tiger Beast and his partner Nishijima Daigo were watching there with vigilance.

The dark paladin and [Adam the Devourer] still maintained their previous postures. After Omegamon stabbed the holy sword into [Adam]'s body, they stood there as if they had lost consciousness.

what happened?

Is the battle over?

Just when Daigo Nishijima was hesitating whether to go forward to investigate the situation, Omegamon Zwart finally made a new move.

Slowly pulling out the Tyrannosaurus Sword that was constantly eroding [Adam]'s data, feeling the huge amount of data coming from it, the dark paladin shook his head helplessly, then cast his gaze towards Daigo Nishijima below, his tone full of joking.

"Teacher Nishijima, at your age, can you still regain the recognition of God?"

A familiar voice came from Omegamon's body. Nishijima Daigo, whose thoughts were interrupted, raised his head and looked at the paladin who seemed to have fallen with an expression of disbelief.

"You are... Kanda?"

He asked hesitantly, and then there was a flash of light, and the figure of Omegamon Zwart disappeared from his sight. The next second, his student Kanda Shu appeared in the same place and waved to him gently.

"You guy... why didn't you answer the phone? I thought something happened to you."

Nishijima Daigo came in front of Kanda Osamu and made a series of complaints.

"Haha... that really is... causing trouble for you, teacher."

Looking at this reassuring figure, Kanda Osamu spoke intermittently, his head slightly raised, all the tense muscles in his body relaxed at this moment, and his face revealed fatigue and tiredness after enduring the darkness.

"Since you are here... I will leave the rest to you, Mr. Nishijima..."

The huge amount of data after the erosion engulfed Kanda Osamu's last consciousness. He was like a prisoner who was tortured to the point of being unable to move forward, and finally fell powerlessly in front of Nishijima Daigo.

“Kanda Osamu——”

At first, one could vaguely hear Daigo Nishijima's voice calling out, but then the chosen one slowly lost consciousness and could no longer feel anything around him. His breathing gradually became steady, and his consciousness entered a space where no one could disturb him.

……

"Cough cough!"

As the battle ended, a heavy cough broke the quiet atmosphere in the basement of DATS.

The [Devourer - Humanoid Form], twisted like a bandage, stretched out his hand to smash the culture tank in front of him, then fell to the ground powerlessly. He struggled hard to get up from the ground.

"Damn the Chosen One..."

A low and hoarse voice came out of his mouth. If Kanda Osamu was here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize the other person's identity.

This is none other than Akihiro Kurata, who had just devoured the Demon King's data in battle and completed the sublimation of the [Devourer] form.

Taking a deep breath, his mind became active again, and he could feel the strength of this [Devourer] body gradually recovering.

This was the [Invader] that was captured by Akihiro Kurata at the very beginning, and it was also the starting point of his research on these unknown creatures. After constantly examining the value of these unknown existences, Akihiro Kurata decided to transform himself into a member of the [Invader].

At the same time, he also preserved the [Devourer] that he had tortured and studied, and transformed it into a vessel for his own resurrection.

After realizing that he was out of danger, Akihiro Kurata leaned against the cold wall, widened his eyes, looked around, and saw clearly the structure of this basement shrouded in darkness.

Filled with resentment and anger, he slowly walked out of the dark basement from the stairs and secretly made up his mind.

"...Just wait, Kanda. I will come back to seek revenge on you soon."

"It's a pity, you probably don't have this opportunity."

Akihiro Kurata, who was lamenting that he had survived a disaster, suddenly heard a woman's voice, which instantly made him raise his head and stare around, looking at everything around him, looking for the source of the voice.

The voice was so calm, without any fluctuation, but it aroused a chill in Kurata's heart. The distorted data began to dance, ready to meet any danger that might come.

Suddenly, he found a figure not far away from him. It was a woman with brilliant blonde hair. She was playing with sunglasses in her hand, and her cold and indifferent eyes were looking at him.

The cold and lethal eyes, clearly just a human being, but Akihiro Kurata couldn't keep calm. He focused his attention on the woman, and the black and white data like a bandage continued to extend, ready to fight.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

He tried to get an answer from the woman.

"Don't struggle in vain, [Devourer], I have been observing you for a long time." The woman smiled slightly, and her calm voice echoed in the quiet environment.

"The reason why I am here now is to completely solve your trouble."

She just calmly raised her right hand, and a dazzling green light gathered between the woman's palms, faintly flashing with a mysterious and powerful force, which shocked Akihiro Kurata's heart. He began to realize that he had fallen into a situation from which he could not escape.

"No... this is impossible! Since you already knew of our existence, why didn't you just take action?!"

These questions flashed through his mind quickly, but Akihiro Kurata, still a [Devourer], was not afraid at all. He believed that as long as he did not show any cowardice in front of the other party, he could protect himself in the coming crisis.

However, all this was just his imagination.

“Because it’s such a waste of time.”

With a hissing sound, the energy called "Digi Soul" quickly passed through the air, instantly bursting out with intense light and energy fluctuations, causing strong winds and tremors in everything around it.

The entire building trembled before the powerful force.

When the smoke cleared, the target it had locked onto [Devourer - Humanoid Form] had completely disappeared, leaving only ruins and desolation. The originally peaceful basement became chaotic and broken.

"Oh...I seem to have forgotten to answer you."

Green energy settled around the woman and gradually merged with her, showing its own strength and majesty.

"My name is Kyouko Murumi, and I'm a cyber detective."

Feeling the residual data of the [Devourer] that had been completely destroyed, Anzi Mu Hai knew very well that this was just the beginning of everything. She turned and left after leaving these words indifferently, as if she had never participated in this dispute.

Her lonely back highlights her unruly nature. She leaves quietly like a breeze, without leaving any trace. No one knows where she came from, and no one knows her true purpose.

This woman's existence seems to transcend the rules of the world.

Chapter 41 Reunion

When he opened his eyes again, Kanda Osamu could no longer remember what he saw in his dream.

There was a strong smell of disinfectant all around, and the splitting headache made him rub his temples in an attempt to relieve it.

"You finally woke up. You really scared me."

"Mr. Nishijima?"

Looking around, Kanda Osamu's eyes stopped on the familiar figure beside the bed.

Nishijima Daigo's eyes revealed a hint of relief, and he explained in a calm voice: "After the battle yesterday, you suddenly lost consciousness and were sent to the hospital. The doctors are trying to find out the cause of your discomfort."

fighting……

Kanda Osamu's memory returned to the moment before he lost consciousness.

"Has the [Devourer-Adam] been destroyed?"

"I thought you fell down after you were sure you had killed him. But from what you said, that's not the case?"

Kanda Osamu was silent for a moment, then he struggled to sit up and sighed softly: "Teacher Nishijima, maybe you can answer my question first?"

"You... Never mind. I saw him turned into data with my own eyes. I think you destroyed him."

Nishijima Daigo paused for a moment, then continued, "In addition, those artificial Digimon were also suddenly forced to stop their actions for unknown reasons and have been taken under control by the Metropolitan Police Department."

Metropolitan Police Department?

Nishijima Daigo's words surprised Kanda Osamu. Not to mention the Gitzmon Army, he could roughly guess that it was Suedou Akimi who helped, but according to past practice, after the war, DATS should be responsible for taking over everything related to Digimon.

Nishijima Daigo seemed to understand his confusion and began to explain: "DATS has been temporarily paralyzed. Yesterday afternoon, the DATS headquarters building was affected by an unknown explosion. The structure of the underground floor was severely damaged and cannot be used."

"Also, because Akihiro Kurata has been arresting a large number of former DATS employees, there is now a serious shortage of internal staff. Although Satsuma and the others have been rescued, for some reason, they are being investigated by the Intelligence Management Office together with Chief Hashiba of the Ministry of Confidentiality."

"Review..."

Kanda Osamu was speechless. It was not good news to conduct an internal investigation of DATS at this time. At least the Metropolitan Police Department had no experience in dealing with such large-scale battlefield ruins.

His gaze fell back on Nishijima Daigo: "What are the casualties caused by this incident?"

"At the time of the incident, most of the people had been evacuated by the Gizmon Corps. Although their purpose was unknown, fortunately, no one lost their lives, but most people were slightly injured."

Nishijima Daigo reached out and patted his shoulder gently, a trace of relief flashing across his expression: "I also received intelligence that Kurata Akihiro led the Gizmon Army to Sobu High School before Belphemon awakened, but there were no casualties either."

Sobu High School?

Upon hearing the news, Kanda Osamu felt a pang of guilt in his heart. This incident was all caused by him, and he couldn't even confirm whether he could prevent such a thing from happening again in the future.

"...Teacher, can I leave now?" After a moment's silence, he suddenly spoke.

"Are you feeling alright?" Nishijima Daigo did not reject Kanda directly. Instead, he was curious about his student's condition. After hesitating for a second or two, he asked, "By the way, I want to ask you why you and your partner..."

“Merge into one?” Kanda Osamu interrupted him, shook his head and said, “I don’t know what the situation is for now.”

"Okay, let's do this first."

Nishijima Daigo had no intention of asking further questions, he stood up slowly.

"Please pack up first. I'll go and handle the formalities for you."

Then he gently turned the doorknob, and a strong smell of disinfectant came from outside the corridor, and then Nishijima left the ward.

"Ugh……"

Kanda sighed silently and closed his eyes. The smell of disinfectant in the air made him feel more clearly that the "Devil King's Resurrection" incident was truly over.

He sat quietly on the bed, his mind running wild, his heart full of thoughts and questions.

There are still many questions about this incident. How did Kurata capture the sloth demon? Why did Kurata go to Sobu High School after he solved his problem? He began to think carefully, trying to find clues from his previous conversation with Kurata.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the fragments of memory still did not give him any clues. This feeling of confusion made Kanda Shu a little frustrated, but he did not intend to give up.

He took a deep breath. No matter what, the two Digimon must know something about the whole story of Gizmon's invasion of the school. He could contact the director to find out more about the situation after being discharged from the hospital.

Slowly standing up, Kanda Osamu secretly made up his mind and prepared to look for the clues he had missed in the afternoon.

……

"That's what he said. Do you have any questions?"

After Nishijima Daigo walked out of the ward, he did not rush to apply for Kanda Osamu's discharge procedures. Instead, he went to another ward, stared at the familiar face, and asked seriously.

"Don't worry about him for now. Once the DATS reconstruction work is completed, we will conduct a detailed investigation on those involved in this incident."

"Okay, so how long will it take for the investigation into Satsuma Rentaro and the others to be completed?"

As he spoke, Nishijima picked up the cup beside him and poured tea into it.

"That's my cup, forget it..." The woman held her forehead as if she had a headache, and then said helplessly: "That depends on when the Intelligence Processing Bureau is willing to let them out."

Nishijima Daigo laughed out loud and shook his head slightly.

"It seems that the Intelligence Bureau does not fully understand the importance of DATS. Only by reinstating these DATS combat and logistics personnel as soon as possible can they better help you solve the problem."

These words made the woman, who originally disagreed, frown slightly. After thinking for a moment, she nodded: "Okay, I can help you pass it on to the higher-ups and then find a proper solution."
