A different kind of digital world adventure

Taiichi also possesses the X-Program, which is a legacy of Grand Dracomon. However, there are some differences. Taiichi's X-Program should be called Death-X. Compared to the proper X-Program, this thing is more like Resident Evil. Every infected Digimon directly loses its sanity and enters a special Death-X Evolution. In a sense, it can be considered a Digimon version of zombies.

But just as Daidragmon was able to control Death X Evolution, Taichi can now make Death X Program behave as he wishes, retaining only the X-Antibody and preventing Digimon from losing their minds.

and so…

"Wake up, Leomon!"

With a slap, Leomon, whose face had been slapped by Taiichi, immediately opened his eyes.

P.S.: The next chapter will be released soon.

Chapter 218 I Will Help the World Tree

"I am..."

The lion-beast opened its eyes, still looking somewhat bewildered. Was it... dead or alive? Why hadn't the surroundings changed at all? And more importantly, why were those people here too?

"Of course you're not dead."

Taiichi could tell what Leomon was thinking just by looking at his expression, so he immediately nodded to indicate that he was right.

"Take a short rest, and then tell us what happened here?"

"What happened... naturally, it was the release of the X-Program, which made it impossible for most Digimon to survive and forced them to die. Everyone knows this, so is there anything else to say?"

Leomon said this, and before Taichi could reply, Leomon had already noticed something was wrong.

"Wait, aren't you guys from this world?"

The cataclysm that has occurred in this world has affected all regions, so whether or not someone is well-informed, they must know what is happening. However, Tai and the others are completely unaware of this. At least, the possibility that Leomon has in mind is that these beings are from outside the world.

This wasn't hard for Leomon to figure out, since he had indeed heard about things like the outside world from people while traveling around.

When Leomon asked him about it, Tai didn't hide anything and directly nodded in agreement with Leomon's guess.

"That's right, we came from another Digital World. We're here to find someone named Koushiro, um... he looks something like this."

"never seen it."

Leomon looked at the image of Koushiro displayed in the holographic projection.

"I should remember someone with such distinctive features."

For Digimon, each human can be considered a very unique individual.

"Is that so? Let's do it."

Hearing this, Taiichi wasn't disappointed. He wasn't in a hurry to find Koushiro. Taiichi felt that Koushiro must have extraordinary fighting spirit and patience, just like them, and definitely had amazing skills. So there was no need to worry about him for the time being. What Taiichi was more interested in now was this place. This was the first time Taiichi had encountered something like a biohazard, especially in the Digital World. He definitely needed to find out what was going on.

So he wanted to learn more about Leomon, but Leomon was only a Champion-level Digimon and his knowledge of many things was very limited. For example, he only knew that X-Program was something released by Yggdrasil, the ruler of the Digital World, with the purpose of selecting Digimon that met certain conditions so that they could go to the New World.

Among the Digimon that were not chosen, some were so resilient that they were not killed by the X program directly. Instead, they developed special code, known as the X antibody, which was able to resist the X program's corruption.

The existence of these antibodies not only saves those Digimon from the disaster of the X Program, but also enables these Digimon to gain even greater power.

Of course, Taiichi didn't need to listen to this part; he knew more about the X-Antibody than Leomon did.

All Taiyi needs to know is why the world has become the way it is.

"The X program was released by the administrator? Why is that?" Taiichi frowned as he looked at Leomon.

"Aren't you confused?"

“The World Tree has always been correct. Of course, we did have some questions about this, so we did ask the World Tree, and the World Tree gave us the answer.”

"Simply put, the continuous breeding and evolution of Digimon has consumed a large amount of resources in the Digital World, which has significantly affected its stability. Therefore, in order to maintain stability, Yggdrasil initiated Project Ark. Selected Digimon can go to the new world to continue to survive, while unselected Digimon, whether in their baby or ultimate stages, will be indiscriminately eliminated by Program X, thus becoming nourishment for the new world..."

At this point, Leomon's expression became somewhat complicated.

"I wasn't selected, and I also didn't get the X antibody, so..."

So he was supposed to be the source of nourishment.

Everyone understood what Leomon hadn't said, and they exchanged glances at each other regarding what Leomon had revealed.

To be honest, they could understand the World Tree's actions. It was simply a memory cleanup operation, because the internal memory was almost full, so it needed to be cleaned up. This was perfectly reasonable. The only difference between this and a normal computer cleanup was that the memory in the Digital World... was alive.

Taiyi always believed that every living being has the most basic right to life, which is the most private right of an individual, and that even the managers cannot deprive them of this right.

However, it can't be said that Yggdrasil made a mistake. It's very likely that the current situation left Yggdrasil with no other choice but to do this. Otherwise, the world would have collapsed directly, and it wouldn't have been most of the Digimon that died, but all of them.

Choosing between two historical options, one that is relatively less historical, is the feeling that the World Tree gives Taiichi.

Therefore, Taiyi's current impression of the World Tree is quite good, even very good, so Taiyi is prepared to lend the World Tree a hand.

"If it can't provide the options, I will."

Tai said confidently, and no one objected. Since they had encountered a problem that could be solved, they should solve it. Although their personalities differed, Sora and the others shared Tai's opinion on this point. So, after a brief discussion, Tai asked Leomon,

"Leomon, do you know where you can find the World Tree?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard there are ways to contact the World Tree directly." Leomon was completely open with the people who had saved him.

"I can take you to see Andromon; it should know how to communicate with the World Tree..."

Before they could finish speaking, Tai and Agumon suddenly looked up, followed closely by Sora and the others. Seeing everyone looking up, Leomon belatedly looked up at the sky.

What's there...?

The lion immediately saw a tall, pure white figure slowly descending from the sky. Its eyes were indifferent and devoid of emotion, and it was draped in a red cloak, exuding an extremely powerful aura.

"That's... Omegamon?"

The lion's pupils contracted sharply.

"What are the Royal Knights doing here?"

Regardless of Leomon's confusion, Omegamon, having discovered Leomon and the others, raised its right arm and used its Garuru Cannon to charge it.

Launch instantly!

"Garuru Cannon!"

Chapter 219 Omegamon

The incoming beam of light was like a shooting star, its blatant attack carrying an unparalleled dominance. Even if someone noticed the attack, they could only watch helplessly as it approached, feeling the light wash over them in despair, their flesh and blood slowly dissipating...

Leomon's mind went completely blank when he saw the beam attack. Omegamon was attacking him? Was it because he wasn't qualified to go to the new world, so it came to take him away?

If that's really the case, then since Leomon isn't actually one of the chosen Digimon, there's not much he can say.

But while I may die, those outsiders who became my benefactors are not like that; they are completely innocent in the eyes of this world!

We must save them!

Leomon's thoughts were brief and complex, but after finishing his thoughts, Leomon acted immediately without hesitation. He tensed his body and pounced on Taichi and the others.

Leomon hadn't expected to be able to contend with Omegamon; the difference in strength between them was simply too great. It merely wanted to try and shield Tai and the others with its own body, and to push them out of the Garurumon's attack range as much as possible...

Unfortunately, none of Leomon's actions were accomplished.

"Shield of Courage".

As a warm orange light, like the sun, shone down on him, Leomon suddenly saw a tall figure appear in front of him. The figure looked extremely majestic in the backlight of Garurumon. The figure spread its arms, and the huge shield completely blocked the beam of light. Then, the next moment, the beam of light was already close to the shield.

air!

The beam of light struck the shield and instantly dissipated outwards, forming a dazzling firework. Even after Omegamon's Garuru Cannon went out, the Shield of Courage remained smooth, showing no signs of damage.

Then, Leomon saw the shield split in the middle, breaking into two parts and reinstalling them on the back of the Digimon.

Only then did the lion beast get a clear look at the standing figure.

"WarGreymon..."

As Leomon spoke, a look of surprise appeared on his face, not because of anything else, but simply because... WarGreymon's size was just too big.

Leomon had seen WarGreymon before, but their size was at most half the height of Leomon. This one in front of him was like a skyscraper!

Size doesn't necessarily mean strength, but if someone is more than ten times larger than others of the same species, it definitely means that the opponent is an extremely strong opponent.

This wasn't just Taiichi's thought; Omegamon, on the other side, also noticed a change in his expression upon seeing WarGreymon. He clearly hadn't expected such a Digimon to appear here. After observing for a moment, Omegamon lowered its altitude to be at eye level with WarGreymon.

"Who are you?"

"Omegamon asked in a deep voice."

"My name is Taichi Yagami, and this is my partner, WarGreymon."

On WarGreymon's shoulder, Yagami Taichi kept staring at Omegamon in response.

Why did you attack us? We didn't do anything to you before, did we?

"This is something I must do in order for the Ark Project to proceed smoothly."

As Omegamon spoke, it swung its left arm sharply, and the sharp Tyrannosaurus Sword shot out. In a flash of cold light, Omegamon pointed the sword at WarGreymon.

"Anyone who obstructs the Ark Project is my enemy."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Omegamon disappear from the spot. Omegamon's speed was far beyond the limits of everyone's visual perception. But then they heard a crisp thud. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw WarGreymon using its right hand's Dragon Killer to firmly block Omegamon's Grey Sword, making it difficult for it to use the sword to its full potential.

"I'm a very reasonable person." Taiichi looked up slightly at Omegamon.

"Although I have never said I fight, I have never started any trouble, not even once."

"However, if it's someone else who provokes us, that's a different story."

As soon as Tai said those words, Omegamon instantly felt an extreme threat. Without hesitation, Omegamon raised Garuru Cannon and shoved it into WarGreymon's face, firing without a word.

"Garuru Cannon!"

Boom!

Just as Omegamon fired its cannon, WarGreymon suddenly charged at Omegamon unexpectedly, followed by a powerful headbutt. The combination of its incredibly hard head and immense force sent Omegamon reeling backward. Although Omegamon quickly regained its footing, the trajectory of the Garuru Cannon had already been altered and could not be changed. Then, WarGreymon instantly removed its Dragon Killer, grabbed Omegamon's right arm with both hands, tightened its core, twisted its waist, turned around, pushed off the ground with its legs, and used its elbows to generate power.

air!

Omegamon felt the world turn upside down, as if it were being trampled by a hundred thousand Triceratops. When it came to its senses, Omegamon was already heavily slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater.

WarGreymon slowly walked up to Omegamon. Instead of attacking, it looked down at Omegamon.

“I have no intention of fighting with you. Since you know about the World Tree’s Ark Project, then we can have a good talk.”

"Or if you could take us to the World Tree, so I can have a personal chat with the World Tree's wing, that would be even better."

"Don't think about it."

Omegamon recovered from its slight dizziness and, upon hearing WarGreymon's words, refused without hesitation. Omegamon now understood that the exceptionally large WarGreymon was not an easy opponent, so it prepared to unleash its full power and use every trick in the book to defeat it!

So, Omegamon braced itself against the ground and suddenly flew out of the pit. Before WarGreymon could react, Omegamon crashed into it. This much stronger force than before sent WarGreymon flying. Then, Omegamon's speed increased again, and in an instant, it was back in front of WarGreymon. The Grey Sword was already extended, and it slashed fiercely at WarGreymon's neck.

"Shield of Courage".

In response, WarGreymon chose to summon the Shield of Courage. While other WarGreymon might use this item incorrectly, it is absolutely invincible for Tai and WarGreymon. As long as their shields cannot be broken, WarGreymon is inherently invincible. In this way, they can naturally find ways to defeat their opponents at will.

"It seems you also need to calm down."

Tai narrowed his eyes. He had given Omegamon two chances, but it hadn't tried to reconcile. Since that was the case, he would have to resort to physical means.

"Beat down that silk stocking and make Qi Ersi Ba Si you!"

"Battle Tornado!"

Chapter 220 Crimson Knight Beast: Unboxing?

As WarGreymon clasped its arms together, it instantly transformed into a raging golden tornado. The boundless and powerful suction swept over Omegamon, causing it to move towards WarGreymon. Once pulled in, Omegamon rammed its chest into Omegamon's chest.

Although Omegamon's tough Digizoid armor prevented it from being directly chipped away, WarGreymon's tornado still made Omegamon feel uncomfortable all over, as if its body was about to crack open.

This guy is incredibly strong.

As Omegamon thought this, it immediately realized that it could not continue like this. So, Omegamon immediately controlled all its power to move in the direction of WarGreymon. From the outside, it looked as if Omegamon was blown away by the WarGreymon tornado and was spinning along with it.

Although the process may seem like Omegamon being swept away by WarGreymon, which is somewhat undignified, Omegamon is actually completely unaffected by the WarGreymon at this moment. It is flying with the tornado, simply observing its structure, preparing to find the node that can destroy its structure, and then ready to strike immediately and kill it in one blow!

Immediately, Omegamon's eyes flashed.

It has been found.

The moment the node was confirmed, Omegamon immediately drew its sword without hesitation, and the entire tornado was forced to stop, just like a machine with a foreign object inserted into its gears.

Everyone saw Omegamon's Tyrannosaurus Sword piercing through WarGreymon's chest, going right through him. A small tuft of the sword tip could even be seen on WarGreymon's back!

"Taiyi!"

Seeing this, Sora and the others couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. They didn't expect Taiichi to be hit, which made them take out the Divine Plan and prepare to evolve to help Taiichi.

However, in the end, BlackGatomon stopped the two of them, telling them to wait and see what happened before making any plans.
