A different kind of digital world adventure

Gluttony is a Fallen Angel Beast, but a Fallen Angel Beast is not necessarily a Gluttony Demon King. Of course, not to mention others, at least the little monster in front of us should have the potential to be one.

After all, not just anyone can easily devour the data cores of other Digimon. Ordinary Digimon, after fighting, consume the data of other Digimon, essentially crushing the data core into pure data before digesting and absorbing it. But Impmon, on the other hand, can indiscriminately devour all the information from the entire data core...

To give an example, while other people break down protein into protein and then digest and absorb it to replenish themselves, the little monster breaks down the meat owner's DNA and integrates it into its own genes...

This is not the normal way for Digimon to absorb data. To be able to do this, it would be absolutely impossible for Impmon to do so without some kind of Gluttony power.

Having potential is a good thing, but if it's not used for the right purpose, it's a complete disaster. Although it's a bit far-fetched for Dark-type Digimon to talk about the right path, BlackGatomon at least hopes that Impmon can be the master of power and understand what he really wants to do, instead of simply becoming a slave to power.

Otherwise, life would be far too boring.

"Not bad, you're starting to act like a senior now."

Hearing BlackGatomon talk about these things, Tai looked at BlackGatomon with some surprise and gave it a thumbs up.

"I'm not helping this guy out of kindness. If I could take a demon king as my underling, wouldn't that mean I'm even more powerful than the demon king?"

Just thinking about this scene made BlackGatomon feel like its skull had been opened up, allowing it to fully receive the breath of heaven and earth, and it felt incredibly refreshed!

"Hmm..." Seeing BlackGatomon's longing expression, Taichi didn't really know what to say. He just twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded.

"Alright, as long as you can teach the little monster well, that's fine."

"However, we're going into battle at this time tomorrow. Fighting Emperor Li is no joke. I'd like to ask, will the little demon beast still go out of control then?"

"His self-control is much better than before. Although he still gets carried away occasionally, when faced with someone whose strength is far superior, even instinct will force him to calm down and stay sober."

BlackGatomon waved its hand.

"Besides, there's still a day left. With me here, there's absolutely nothing to worry about. You guys go find Koushiro, I'll continue to train this little jailer."

After saying that, BlackGatomon grabbed one of Impmon's feet with one hand and slowly dragged it into the bushes.

Taichi could clearly see that the little monster was showing signs of waking up, but it immediately fell back asleep peacefully because it was being dragged by BlackGatomon and slammed against a rock.

...This is probably how Dark-type Digimon are trained.

Taiichi shook his head and looked away. Anyway, BlackGatomon knew what he was doing, and Taiichi could tell that although Impmon was cursing, it still respected BlackGatomon. So Taiichi didn't have anything to say. He would just teach it. If he could really teach a Demon Lord, then the Digital World would definitely be much more stable.

Having thought things through, Taiichi stopped worrying. He glanced at the sky and headed towards where Koushiro was.

Before long, Taiichi had already entered the Bureau. Since he didn't have any credentials, Taiichi simply climbed over the wall to find Koushiro. When he first saw Koushiro, Taiichi saw him eating chocolate while furiously typing code. And judging from the mountain of candy wrappers piled up next to Koushiro, he could tell that Koushiro had probably been here all along.

"Taiyi, you're back?"

Koushiro glanced up slightly at the Armored Bird Dragonmon next to Taiichi, then returned his gaze to the screen in front of him, and asked again,

"Is it because of this Digimon? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I wanted to ask about some things regarding Armored Bird Dragonmon." Tai nodded, looking at Koushiro with great concern.

"Koushiro, can your body handle this? You should rest a bit more."

"It's alright, I'm not tired. Having boundless energy is a hallmark of geniuses," Koushiro replied, his hands still busy at work.

"And the situation is much better than I expected. It will only take about fifteen hours to produce this device."

"I just need to take a short nap after fifteen hours. Don't worry, I have a way to regulate my biological clock, so it won't affect my rest at all."

"So what do you want to ask about Armored Bird Dragon Beast? I still have a little free time right now, so I can analyze it for you."

"Alright..." Hearing what Koushiro said, Tai didn't say much more, so he turned around and described the situation of Armored Bird Dragon to Koushiro before speaking.

"I'd like to ask if you can find out about the Armored Bird Dragon's past experiences from its body."

“Simple,” Koushiro said without turning his head.

"Try to calm it down, and I'll go through its operation logs right now."

After he finished speaking, the search beast below Izzy emitted light to scan Armored Bird Dragonmon. Immediately, a screen appeared in front of Izzy, and he took a little time to look at it.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Koushiro had even stopped what he was doing, and his expression had become somewhat serious.

"What's wrong?" Taiichi was startled. "Is there a problem with Armored Bird Dragon Beast?"

"No, there's nothing wrong with it." Koushiro shook his head, his brows furrowed as he looked at Taiichi.

"But what it went through was very problematic!"

"what is the problem."

"Based on the operation logs here, I suspect... the entire network world may have been completely disrupted."

Chapter 265: The Final Offensive Begins

"Has the online world completely descended into chaos?"

Taiichi was taken aback, not quite understanding what Koushiro meant, so he simply asked.

"What do you mean? Does it mean that the Demon Lord has disrupted the Digital World? Koushiro, explain yourself more clearly."

"It means exactly what it says. All the Digital Worlds, not just the one in front of us that has been invaded by the Emperor Demon, but also other Digital Worlds, as long as they are connected to the Network World, are in chaos at this moment."

"This is a catastrophe that will engulf the entire world!"

"catastrophe..."

Koushiro spoke very seriously, and after Taichi pondered for a moment, his expression also turned solemn.

What impact will this catastrophe have?

"I don't know either." Koushiro flipped through the Armored Bird Dragon's logbook, slowly shaking his head.

"However, one thing I am certain of is that such chaos will cause enormous upheaval in the world, ultimately making the previously predictable future completely unpredictable... This will obviously lead to many unforeseen consequences."

"The future is becoming unpredictable... What does that mean?"

“The most direct example is our arrival.” Koushiro looked at Taichi seriously and said, “In the end, we are just ordinary people, but we have all come to other worlds for unknown reasons. According to the information I just saw, this may be due to the chaos in the network world.”

As he spoke, Koushiro lightly tapped his hand, revealing two small orbs of light, each the size of a ping-pong ball, in front of Tai.

"Look, this is our world, and this is the digital world."

Koushiro pointed to the two orbs of light in his hand,

"The connection between them is like this."

Then Taiyi saw the two orbs of light sometimes coming together and sometimes separating, but no matter what, they remained in a relatively close state.

“而$宭%^这样的∈2+*关联，⊙8⌒几乎∈6*(每一个°9{数码世界和人类世界都或多)5∷或少*(9△遵￥3<>从这样$0¤的模式⊙7%。”

As Koushiro finished speaking, hundreds, even thousands, of pairs of small orbs of light suddenly appeared around the two small orbs, making various connections in mid-air in similar but different patterns.

"Our world and the digital world are interconnected, and the digital worlds are also connected through a super-large network."

Immediately afterwards, Taiyi saw that all the light spheres were enveloped in a huge, ellipsoidal light sphere.

"Once there is turmoil in the online world, it will be like this."

Koushiro lightly tapped the network world, and Taiichi immediately saw a ripple spread outward from Koushiro's fingertip. This ripple continuously disturbed the surrounding light spheres, causing them to vibrate. Eventually, some light spheres merged completely, while others separated completely.

Upon seeing this, Taiyi also gained some understanding.

"Is this what you mean by the complete chaos of the online world?"

"So you're saying it will cause turmoil in both the digital and human worlds?"

"This is just a slight ripple in the online world." Koushiro looked earnestly at Taiichi, raising his hand high.

"This is what true disorder looks like."

bump!

As Koushiro slammed down, this wave of energy was like a raging storm, unlike the ripples from before. Taiyi could clearly see the light spheres inside the ellipsoid undergoing high-frequency movements. Some light spheres were completely annihilated in the wave, while others merged with other light spheres. Still others were completely shattered, with some fragments merging into one sphere and others entering another.

And this was not the end, but rather just the beginning. As these light spheres continued to fluctuate, they in turn caused the giant ellipsoid to vibrate even more. In this vicious cycle of one foot stepping on the other, after an unknown amount of time, Taiyi saw all the spheres explode into fragments before his very eyes.

This scene immediately made Taiyi's expression extremely serious.

"This is true chaos."

Koushiro looked at Taiichi with a serious expression.

"This is a massive catastrophe that has swept across the entire world."

"All worlds are unstable, which makes the links between most worlds extremely dangerous. However, a few worlds have actually grown closer together in this instability, which theoretically reduces the difficulty of crossing between worlds."

"Of course, in this environment, one must have extremely keen senses to cross the Digital World, but this is obviously not a big problem for Armored Bird Dragonmon."

Koushiro said this, and then looked at Taiichi.

"That's the situation with Armored Bird Dragon Beast. I've already answered your question."

""

Taiichi rubbed his temples. He hadn't expected to be able to glean so much from Armored Bird Dragon Beast. However, he trusted Koushiro, though his mind was a little confused from receiving such impactful information all of a sudden.

After a moment of silence, sorting out his thoughts, Taiyi finally continued to ask,

"In that case, is this why we're scattered across different worlds? In other words, the chaos in the online world started a long time ago, right?"

"That's right, but there's no need to worry for now. Although I don't know exactly how big the online world is right now, I'm sure it's still in the early stages of chaos, and there's still a long way to go before it enters a vicious cycle."

"We still have plenty of time."

“Is that so? Well, that’s some good news.” Taiichi’s expression softened slightly. “But now that we know about these things, we can’t leave them unprepared. Koushiro, can you pinpoint the source of the disturbance? If there really is a source.”

"Or is it possible to find a solution?"

"I can't guarantee it; I only just learned about this myself."

Koushiro said without hesitation.

"However, this situation matches my previous guesses in many ways. I'll study it first and see if I can find any clues."

"Well, no matter what, the most urgent matter is still the matter of Emperor Li Mo."

Taiyi nodded slightly.

"Then you can continue, Koushiro. I'll think about how to solve this kind of problem too."

If this is man-made, with a definite mastermind, then there's nothing more to say. Just work hard to become stronger, find the culprit, and then kill them.

But the real danger lies in situations where such events are purely the result of natural processes. In such cases, the challenge is against the very laws of nature, and nature itself... even something as powerful as Taiyi doesn't know how to face or defeat a nonexistent enemy.

Taiyi sighed, but there wasn't much worry in his eyes.

Since you don't know what to do, then don't think about these things for now. Just focus on becoming stronger. Once you're strong enough, the solution might come naturally when you reach that level.

Thinking about things that are too far away now is not only meaningless, but also very draining.

Having thought all this through, Tai turned to look at Agumon.

"Agumon, let's continue training."

"no problem."

Agumon readily accepted Taichi Mendo's invitation, and Armored Birdmon, seeing this, also curiously followed to observe.

Then immediately, Armored Bird Dragonmon regretted it, because Taichi went straight to the Digital World and did nothing else but rush to wherever there was danger, striving to overcome difficulties in any environment and even directly modify the environment.

Poor Armored Bird Dragonmon, who had no fighting spirit to begin with, was now forced to follow Taiichi in his battles across the land. The already timid Armored Bird Dragonmon almost fainted during the process. However, it must be said that this experience did help Armored Bird Dragonmon grow a lot.

Leaving aside Taiichi, who had suddenly started training again after hearing a big secret, fifteen hours was not long at all. In the blink of an eye, Taiichi had already heard that Koushiro had finished developing a device to track the Emperor Reaper. Upon hearing this, Taiichi immediately rushed back to the base. As soon as he arrived, Taiichi saw that everyone had already gathered, except for him. Seeing this, Taiichi did not hesitate and quickly joined the others.

"Koushiro, the device is all set up, right?"

"That's right, this is the tracking device."

As he spoke, Taichi saw a circular radar appear in Koushiro's hand.

"I call it the Buster Call."

"The Demon Buster Order... that name is quite fitting."

Taiichi nodded slightly, indicating his approval of the name. He took the device from Koushiro's hand, examined it closely, and felt that its appearance was somewhat familiar.

"How do I use this? Do I just press this button?"

"That's right. Pressing this button will display the 2D coordinates of the Emperor Li Demon. When you get close to the Emperor Li Demon, it will switch to 3D coordinates, allowing you to monitor the Emperor Li Demon's location in real time."

Koushiro gave a brief explanation, then pulled out several monocle devices from behind him and distributed them to everyone.

"There's also this thing, which can quantify the difference in combat power between us and the Emperor Li Demon in real time. Of course, combat power is a very subjective indicator, so just take it as a reference and don't be reckless or overthink it."

Taiyi hesitated to speak / Erjiu abandoned? Liu Jiu San Ba ​​Liu.

That's the point, but once the numbers are quantified, comparisons will inevitably follow. While it might not be that people will be intimidated before the battle even begins, it's certain that they'll feel some pressure.
