A different kind of digital world adventure

"Is this so?"

Koushiro seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded.

"Then I understand."

From his conversation with Taichi, Koushiro understood why he kept running into obstacles when talking to Digimon. The reason lay in the word "sincerity." It wasn't that Koushiro's communication was insincere, but rather that he unconsciously analyzed others when talking to them. Although he meant no harm, this way of communicating could make some sensitive people feel very uncomfortable. Digimon are much more sensitive to eye contact than humans, and it was probably for this reason that the Digimon were more wary than trusting of Koushiro.

Knowing the reason, Koushiro didn't think about correcting it for the time being. It wasn't that he didn't want to change, but Koushiro knew that he didn't have the ability to change it at the moment. After all, he was still young and was still learning about human nature. If he didn't even understand human nature, he naturally had no idea how to restrain his analytical and probing gaze.

The only thing to do is to avoid having too much interaction with other people.

It's not a big problem; anyway, Koushiro will eventually learn to communicate like a normal person.

"Speak of it."

Just as Koushiro was pondering, Taichi suddenly spoke up again. As Koushiro turned his head, Taichi said...

"You need information about Digimon, right? So, the more information the better?"

"Of course, the more the better, but given the current limited resources, gathering this information is sufficient for now."

"If we have more data and information, could we make the device even more accurate?"

“That’s natural. The essence of Dreadlord is to delete the programs of Digimon. This is Dreadlord’s underlying logic, so it’s natural that we can use this logic to trace Dreadlord in reverse using Digimon data. Therefore, the more complete the Digimon data, the higher the accuracy of the tracking.” Koushiro paused for a moment, and then said, “If we can collect the data of all known Digimon, then I’m confident that even if Dreadlord escapes from this world, we will still be able to track it down.”

"In that case..."

Upon hearing Koushiro's words, Taichi immediately pulled out his Digivice without hesitation.

"I think I have some Digimon data stored here. See if you can use it?"

"You mean WarGreymon's stats? I've already included them..."

Before he could finish speaking, Izzy, upon receiving the Divine Plan, was immediately captivated by the data displayed on it.

What did he see?

From MetalGreymon to Mugendramon, the core modification data of modified Digimon is all available.

Data for all types of Digimon, from Angelic to Dark, is complete.

Data covering the entire evolutionary range of Digimon, from their juvenile stage to their ultimate form, is all available here!

Are these some data?

This is practically a fully-fledged database!

Koushiro stared wide-eyed at Taiichi, speechless, feeling as if he had used up all the shock he had ever experienced in his life when he met Taiichi.

"It should work, right?"

Seeing this, Taiyi felt that the data must be useful, but just to be on the safe side, he still asked about it.

"Of course, with this data, Emperor Li Mo can come to me with his head."

Koushiro nodded immediately, looking solemnly at Taiichi.

"May I ask who you are, sir?"

"This is the database that Windgodmon gave me before it left. It contains all the Digimon from the world I came from before. Consider it a kind of encyclopedia," Tai explained.

Upon hearing this, Koushiro asked, "This Wind God Pokémon is..."

"Uh, high-ranking personnel from the Steel Empire in the previous Digital World."

"The higher-ups of the Steel Empire? The Steel Empire... you mean the Digital World?" Koushiro frowned slightly, looking puzzled. "I'm also very interested in the Steel Empire, so I've tried to find it. But in this world, the Digimon belonging to the Steel Empire are at most scattered, loosely organized groups. From what you're saying, in the Digital World you were in before, the Steel Empire had become a super-large political organization covering the entire world?"

"Has the Steel Empire truly become an empire?"

"Ah."

"That's amazing!" Koushiro exclaimed in admiration. No one understood better than him the power a strong organization could unleash, especially since Digimon themselves possessed immense productivity. Therefore, the power that Digimon could generate once organized was unimaginable to anyone.

"So, the Steel Empire should have already unified the Digital World, right?"

"I guess so." Tai thought for a moment. Although there was homeostasis governing things, the Steel Empire handled most of the daily affairs, so it wasn't wrong to say that they had unified the Digital World.

"Who is the leader? Is it Mugendramon?" Koushiro asked curiously again, "How did you manage to win over Mugendramon?"

After all, the biggest boss of the Steel Empire shown in the anime is Mugendramon, one of the Dark Masters, which is why Koushiro made this speculation.

He had already envisioned a series of anime characters who would influence the Four Dark Kings, persuade them to abandon their evil ways and embrace the light, and then work together to build a new world.

But to everyone's surprise, Mitsuko immediately heard Taiichi say, "Reform? Oh... you could call it reform."

“I turned the Infinite Dragon Beast into a puppet, so naturally it had no evil thoughts.”

"Illusion paused for a moment, "Then who united the Steel Empire? That Zephyr?"

"No, actually it was me." Taiyi sighed as he said this, "The Wind God Beast felt that its prestige was insufficient to unify the Steel Empire, so it made me the target. And at that time, I didn't understand much, so I jumped into this huge pit..."

"So, you're the leader of the Steel Empire?"

“It’s being managed on behalf of someone else,” Taiyi corrected. “Once a suitable person is found, it will definitely be handed over to him.”

""

""

Koushiro and Taiichi stared at each other for a long while before Koushiro finally gasped and looked at Taiichi seriously, saying...

"I want to join, please let me join."

"? Didn't you already join?"

"I'm not talking about this team, I'm talking about the Steel Empire..."

"Oh, you're welcome anytime." Taiyi waved his hand. "The Steel Empire welcomes any member who wants to join."

"No, I want more knowledge..."

"You can apply. As long as you have a legitimate reason, you can get any information you need," Taiyi said again. "However, for things like the secrets of Ultimate evolution, which have a certain degree of secrecy, you'll need to have enough contribution points. But that's no problem for you, Koushiro. Not to mention, your rune magic is enough to open up all the databases of the Steel Empire to you."

""

Koushiro looked into Taichi's sincere gaze, remained silent for a long while, and then turned and left.

"let's go."

"Where to?"

"Back to the human world!" Koushiro's eyes blazed with fury. "The situation is urgent. We need to kill the Demon Lord immediately and get to that Digital World right away!"

"Calm down, we can't go back after we're done fighting."

Chapter 258 Mitsuo Yamaki

Although Koushiro was anxious, there was no time to rush things in this situation. Even if they defeated the Demon Lord, they would still need to continue their adventures. If they really wanted to return to the Iron Empire, they would at least have to find all their companions and get them home first.

However, Koushiro was just talking about it. Although he really wanted to go at first, after calming down, Koushiro realized that now was not the time to go back. He had to inform his family and get their permission before he could continue to roam outside.

Speaking of this, Koushiro also has many questions about why he was transported to another world, and he will definitely try to find out why this happened in the future.

Moreover, the rune program is already something I can study for a long time, so there's no need to find new topics to study before I've reached a certain level of expertise.

In short, after Koushiro calmed down, the construction of the device proceeded smoothly. No one knows what method Koushiro used, but he wrote a blackboard full of runes in the air with a marker, and then successfully contained the data cores of the Four Holy Beasts.

This amazed everyone, who felt that Koushiro had achieved enlightenment in the Digital World, just like in Ryujo, and had truly learned something new.

Looking down at the human boys, Azure Dragon Beast couldn't help but sigh. Although it had initially guided the Guardians of Life to the human world because it saw the potential for cooperation between humans and Digimon, Azure Dragon Beast was still quite surprised when these human boys actually arrived. It felt like they were just decorations when fighting against Emperor Demon. With just these few boys, or even just that boy named Taiichi, given enough time, they could probably kill Emperor Demon on the spot.

This is absolutely outrageous. Can the potential of a collaboration between humans and Digimon really be this high?

Shouldn't they also find a human partner? Otherwise, won't they fall behind the times?

This idea wasn't just on the Azure Dragon Beast's mind; the other four sacred beasts, including the Vermilion Bird Beast, also had the same thought.

The essence of Digimon is the pursuit of power. As long as they can see a path that is much better than their current one, they will not hesitate to embark on that path, even if they opposed it before.

The reason Suzakumon objected was simply because it felt that humans who cooperated with Digimon were like domesticated livestock, having lost their animalistic nature and were of little use. But now, looking at the performance of Suzakumon, who was being beaten on the head one moment and then beaten on the head the next, even the stubborn Suzakumon had to admit defeat.

There is a kind of beauty called the beauty of numbers, and in the face of these absolute numbers, the Vermilion Bird Beast also succumbed without any surprise.

"We will continue to monitor the movements of Emperor Li Mo."

The Azure Dragon Beast looked down at the crowd.

"We will mobilize all the Digimon in the world to search for the whereabouts of the Dire Demon."

"This is perfect."

Taiyi nodded in acknowledgment. Without a foundation in this world, Taiyi couldn't do much. With the Four Holy Beasts offering their help, the likelihood of Di Li Mo being exposed would greatly increase. Immediately afterward, Koushiro pulled four cards from his pocket and wrote some runes on them.

"Here, this is a communication device. If you really find any trace of Di Li Mo, please use this to contact us."

"No problem." Lu Yin thought for a moment.

The Azure Dragon Beast rolled the cards into the sky and distributed them to its four companions.

"The threat posed by the Dire Demon is obvious to all. It poses a great threat to the Digital World and even the human world. I hope we can work together to overcome this disaster."

"We share the same thought."

Tai nodded in agreement.

"Everyone should also conserve their energy. We haven't defeated Emperor Li yet, and we still need to fight him to the death."

"Final victory will surely belong to us!"

"mutual encouragement!"

"mutual encouragement!"

After building up the atmosphere with the Four Holy Beasts, Taichi raised the Digivice, casually summoning the gate to the Digital World. He waved to the Digimon and then spoke.

"Then let's say goodbye."

"See you later."

With that, Taiyi led everyone through the gate.

With a sudden change in light, the group realized they had arrived at a park near their home.

"You're... back already?"

Takato seemed to wake from a dream. He looked at himself, then at Guilmon, and then at the others.

"It didn't take very long."

"Wouldn't it be a bit redundant for me to tell my parents I wanted to go to summer camp?"

"Not really, it was mostly luck. The Vermilion Bird came to us, and the Four Holy Beasts knew the location of the Emperor Demon. Otherwise, the time at summer camp might not have been enough," Taiyi said.

"And this isn't superfluous. Now that things are temporarily over, let's just have a summer camp."

"I'm afraid not."

But before anyone could speak, Koushiro said,

"The people we need to communicate with are arriving soon."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi was taken aback at first, but then he immediately sensed something. This made Taiyi turn his head to look at the bushes over there. Following Taiyi's gaze, after about five or six minutes, they saw a man dressed in a manner extremely similar to the man in black appear in front of them.

The blond man had barely appeared when he noticed everyone staring intently at him, which startled him. But when he saw Agumon blinking and observing him beside Taiichi, the man's expression changed instantly.

"Digimon... How can there be so many Digimon here?"

"Don't come into contact with these Digimon, they are extremely dangerous!"

Unmoved by the man's call, Taichi turned to look at Koushiro.

"Ikshire, is he the one you're looking for?"

"Yes, he is a government employee."

"I need to cooperate with the government."

Koushiro gave a brief reply. In fact, Koushiro knew more. After all, he had learned about the personnel in the human world responsible for managing Digimon in the government department through some means. He even knew the composition of the personnel and the technology used. However, since he used some somewhat unorthodox technology, it was best not to be too arrogant and talk about it.

Taiichi understood what Koushiro meant, but communicating with the government was a bit of a challenge for him, as he had never done anything like this before. However, since he had promised Koushiro that he would step in, Taiichi still had to give it a try.

However, before Taiyi could even speak, the man on the other side made another move.

He pulled out something that looked like a communicator, then held it to his ear and spoke decisively.

"Activate [Yuggoth]..."

"We can't let him activate it; that's a program designed to delete Digimon..."
