A different kind of digital world adventure

Moreover, the mouth is used only because it can better release the power to eliminate data, but that doesn't mean other parts of the body can't release such power. In fact, any of the limbs of the God Demon can release the same power as the mouth at this moment, which is why Qi Ren and the others are exhausted and dare not have too much contact with these limbs.

However, this situation did not last long. Soon, after Takato understood what Taiichi had said, he was able to unleash his divine power.

It was truly a display of divine power. While the others were still struggling with a single limb, Takato simply cleaved it in two with a single sword strike. This was undoubtedly a display of unparalleled divine might. The others, seeing Takato's actions, paid close attention to what he was doing and gained some insights from his movements. They then immediately followed Takato's lead and began their own offensive campaigns.

The final result was passable. Apart from Qi Ren, the other beast tamers also found ways to damage the Di Li Mo and successfully severed its limbs during the battle, which boosted everyone's morale.

However, the key problem is that the Emperor Demon's limbs are too numerous and too dense. If it's not several hundred, it's at least several hundred. If Qi Ren and the others were to cut them off one by one, it would probably take a considerable amount of time. But if it takes that long, the impact on the final battle outcome would obviously be enormous.

Taiyi was well aware of the situation, but he couldn't say anything more. So he immediately pressed forward with even greater force, taking on the pressure himself before Qiren could bear more of it.

The others were also aware of the current situation. With Di Li Mo unable to speak and Tai Yi too busy to speak, the others silently began their tree-cutting process. They started by working together to cut down one of Di Li Mo's limbs at an extremely fast speed. Gradually, they progressed to the point where one person could quickly deal with one limb, and then one person could cut off several limbs in one go.

Although Di Li Mo relied on its powerful computing ability to generate limbs very quickly and timely, it was still no match for the astonishing speed of progress of the others. In the end, it could even be said that as soon as Di Li Mo generated new limbs, they were immediately cut off by Qi Ren and the others.

Later on, it wasn't just about fighting the arthropods. Once Koushiro had a general understanding of the arthropods' attack style, he directly created a fairly common counter-attack pattern. This allowed all the arthropods to attack a decoy before attacking the enemy. The decoy would then suffer a tremendous impact from the decoy, causing considerable damage to the arthropods. Although they wouldn't lose their mobility, they would definitely lose their ability to strike the enemy. This allowed everyone to conserve their energy and assist Tai in carrying out more important attacks.

The final result was that everyone, led by Taiichi and including Koushiro, launched the most precise and heavyweight attack on the current representative product of the Emperor Demon, namely the mouth of the Grim Reaper. The result was, of course, nothing more to say. The Emperor Demon's newly formed maw was directly and utterly destroyed by the group.

The mouth is the most crucial organ in Death's body. It was blasted apart twice in a row, and it was obvious that the regeneration speed of the head was much slower the third time. More importantly, Death's body size was also much smaller than before. Although it was still a huge creature, it had reduced its volume by almost one-fifth.

If the will can maintain this momentum, then optimistically speaking, it would probably only take ten more of the same attacks to blast this thing into dust, utterly destroying it.

Clearly, not just one person thought this way, which is why everyone's morale soared and they all looked at Taiyi, their eyes conveying a very simple message: they wanted Taiyi to lead them on another charge immediately.

Taiichi didn't hesitate at all. He immediately gathered his power again and, taking advantage of the fact that the Grim Reaper hadn't fully recovered, had Joe use the Vikemon as a spearhead, pouring all his infinite power into the Vikemon's spiked club. In an instant, it became an invincible, supreme club, thousands of kilometers long and hundreds of kilometers wide. Everyone's power was now completely integrated into this club's mace. Then, without the slightest hesitation, at Taiichi's roar, everyone roared in unison and slammed this gigantic club down on the Grim Reaper below.

*Splash!* A sound like mud splashing suddenly rang in everyone's ears, but it was just an illusion. It was only because the way Death fell really did look like a watermelon being smashed by a club, which caused people to have such an auditory hallucination.

However, when everyone looked at the muddy sea below, which had scattered in all directions, they were at a loss for words.

Although the fragments are still wriggling, making the whole area look very fragile, a closer look reveals that many fragments also become motionless after a short while. This situation clearly indicates that they have fallen into a state of inactivity.

"Did we... win?"

"not yet."

Taichi calmly replied, then turned to look at Koushiro.

"Koushiro, how's the situation?"

"Nothing went wrong."

Koushiro was operating something on the computer, then nodded slightly.

"The Emperor Demon has indeed appeared in the K area of ​​Tokyo."

Chapter 271 Emperor Li Demon, Withering Away

Even before coming to the Digital World, Taichi and Koushiro had discussed the possibility that the Indra might come to the human world in some way.

After all, Di Li Mo now possesses a certain degree of consciousness. Although this consciousness still has considerable self-destructive tendencies, it has indeed begun to think about how to avoid its weaknesses and maximize its strengths.

Especially since it swallowed Koushiro and obtained Koushiro's thought patterns and memories, then the way Koushiro came up with to defeat Taireima in such a short time lies with humans. There's no reason why Taireima couldn't deduce such a thing in such a long time.

So from that time on, Koushiro prepared two plans. One was to go to the Digital World and kill the Deviate that was entrenched there. If the Deviate did not go to the human world, then of course everyone would be happy. But if it did go, then he would also prepare a little surprise for the Deviate, making sure it felt both immense joy and humiliation.

Hehehehe...

"What exactly did you do? Don't make that sinister laugh."

Hearing Tai's laughter, everyone couldn't hold back any longer. Sora even stepped forward and had Valdmon deliver an elbow strike to Tai.

"Stop playing riddles and tell us what the plan is."

"Actually, there's no plan."

Taiyi, who had been elbowed, didn't keep everyone in suspense and immediately explained the previous arrangements to everyone.

"Actually, it was just a precautionary measure to set up a fake coordinate as bait, luring Emperor Li Demon to that place, and then, as always, we completely annihilated Emperor Li Demon there."

"That place is an augmented reality space prepared by Mr. Yamaki. It was built to resemble Tokyo, but its actual location is on a deserted island."

Koushiro added,

"Of course, although those are just simulated data, they can be said to be real to the physical code of Emperor Li Mo. With my simulation, Emperor Li Mo should not be able to see through these things for a while, and will even devour them."

"So for now, it will probably be delayed for a while, but we still have to be quick. This period of time won't be too long, and Di Li Mo will definitely be able to discover the clues soon."

Koushiro looked around.

"If you want to defeat us, or rather, if you want to destroy humanity, you must thoroughly understand humanity. And to understand humanity, devouring humanity is naturally the easiest way to understand their emotions."

"Even if at first the Emperor Demon only consumes some building data, later on, the Emperor Demon will definitely eat a few people to try."

"Although I have made several models of humans, I don't even understand myself very well, let alone create a very realistic virtual humanoid."

Another point is that Koushiro doesn't dare to do it too seriously. Although it's just a gut feeling, he has a general sense that if he actually did it, something terrible might happen...

We haven't even figured out the Digimon issue yet, and now there's this Digihuman issue. If this continues, it'll probably take a long time just to clean up the mess in this world!

"In short, we definitely won't have much time. Once we're ready here, let's immediately return to the real world and take down Emperor Li Mo!"

What preparations are needed?

Qi Ren was puzzled, but at the same time eager to try.

"Where is the Demon Emperor Guan? Let's go and take him down right now!"

"Wait a moment, before that we need to find the Four Divine Beasts over there to help us a little more.

Taiyi offered a brief reassurance, then immediately charged towards the Four Divine Beasts. Seeing this, the Four Divine Beasts didn't dare to delay; the Azure Dragon Beast quickly asked,

"Is there anything else we need to do?"

"Yes, there is one very important thing."

Taiyi nodded solemnly.

"The origin of the Emperor Demon is a product of the research and development of computers by mankind during the Cold War in this world. In the current era, it has absorbed a large amount of information from the Internet world, thus developing rapidly."

"This means that Emperor Li Mo has deep roots in both the human and digital worlds, so there were originally only two ways to truly eliminate him."

"One approach is to isolate the digital world from the human world, preventing the Dire Demon from receiving large amounts of information from the human world. Then, the information can be divided and destroyed, with the digital world's information destroyed and the human world's information destroyed. It won't take long to completely eliminate the hidden danger."

"Separate the Digital World from the Human World!?" Before Taichi could finish speaking, Takato suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Isn't that exactly the same plot as the original series? I have to separate from Guilmon? No, I absolutely don't want to be separated!"

"Nobody wants to separate you. I haven't finished speaking yet, so please let me finish." Taiyi said helplessly, then immediately continued.

"This method could have been used before, but considering that the Dire Demon has already infiltrated other worlds, it would be difficult to truly kill the Dire Demon if we did that. It can simply move to other worlds immediately while the Digital World is closed, and then make a comeback once it has grown to a certain size."

"Regarding the actions that the Emperor Demon has taken in other worlds, I have no doubt that it has secretly taken some countermeasures in those other worlds."

"Therefore, we now recommend the second method."

Taiyi looked at the four sacred beasts who were listening silently and said decisively,

"That is to accelerate the integration of the digital world and the human world, achieve comprehensive and epoch-making cooperation with the human world, build a firewall that includes both the human and digital worlds, and completely lock down and eradicate the foundation of the Emperor Demon!"

"And this requires you four Holy Beasts to represent the Digital World and all Digimon to make this choice."

"That's all I wanted to say."

As Taiyi spoke, he also bowed to the Four Divine Beasts.

"please."

The four sacred beasts exchanged glances, but did not comment on Taiyi's words first. After a moment of silence, Xuanwu finally spoke.

"We roughly understand what you mean. We have witnessed the power of Emperor Li Mo, and now it is indeed a matter of life and death. However, we still have a question that we hope you can answer."

"You said that by joining forces, we could completely destroy the foundation of the Digimon, but it seems that the Digimon has already left behind some backup plans in other Digital Worlds." After Taiichi nodded in agreement, Qinglongmon asked without hesitation, "If that's the case, then why would cooperating between the two worlds be able to completely eliminate the Digimon?"

"But after we separate, we can't do that anymore."

"Because the Emperor Li Demon has a physical form in the mortal world."

This question should be answered by Koushiro.

"As long as this physical carrier still exists, even if the human world and the digital world are isolated, it is only equivalent to the Dire Demon in the digital world being temporarily cut off from the main body. As long as the Dire Demon is careful and gains enough power again, it will eventually be able to rise from the ashes. However, if the physical carrier is destroyed, it is like cutting off the roots of a tree. No matter how strong the branches are, they will eventually die!"

"Then why can't the human world completely destroy that physical carrier?"

"With current human technology, it is impossible to do such a thing."

Koushiro sighed.

"The iteration speed of the Di Li Mo is very fast. To some extent, it can be regarded as the beginning of the machine crisis. Once the Di Li Mo realizes that humans are going to attack its actual carrier, it will probably have to react and completely destroy human civilization."

"At that time, the human world may be able to completely eliminate the Emperor Demon at a terrible cost, but it is not impossible that human civilization will regress greatly or even perish as a result."

"The digital world ultimately relies on the continuous development of the human network world. If human civilization really regresses, then the digital world will definitely not see any positive changes either."

Koushiro paused for a moment.

"Although the ultimate goal of the Emperor Reaper is to eliminate humans and Digimon, once it reaches that point, the Emperor Reaper would absolutely not be able to do things like stirring up trouble in other worlds."

"A broadened perspective prevents Di Li Mo from taking risky measures until the very last moment, but that doesn't mean he lacks the ability to do so."

Koushiro looked earnestly at the Digimon.

"The matter of the Dire Demon is not simply a matter of humans or Digimon, but a major crisis that both sides must face together."

"I know that some of you have a lot of prejudice against humans, but the convergence of the digital world and the human world is an unstoppable trend. If you insist on going against the trend, the final result will be something that no one wants to see!"

""

The four sacred beasts exchanged glances. They didn't speak, but their eyes conveyed a fierce exchange. This continued for a few minutes, after which all four sacred beasts turned their gazes towards them.

"You chose to reveal all these things at this time, probably because you wanted us to make a decision quickly."

"I do not deny."

Koushiro looked calmly at the four Holy Beasts.

"Part of the reason is that the Di Li Demon has developed and evolved too rapidly, and I dare not waste time. But I do have some thoughts of forcing you to make a choice immediately based on the current situation."

Upon hearing this, everyone could clearly sense a tense atmosphere, but this tension quickly dissipated with a burst of laughter from the Azure Dragon Beast.

"Humans are far more amazing than we imagine."

Azure Dragon Beast sighed. Even though it had expectations of humans, it was truly astonishing that humans could achieve such a level. However, Azure Dragon Beast also acknowledged that there was a significant difference between humans, much like the difference between humans and ordinary Ultimate-level beings. Even so, it made Azure Dragon Beast realize that the limits of humanity far exceeded its own imagination.

If that's the case, then if humans and Digimon really live together in the future, it seems like a good choice for both humans and Digimon.

The Azure Dragon Beast silently pondered these matters, and then, under the rather tense gazes of everyone, it finally nodded.

"Please give us some time. We will go to the human world to help as soon as we have unified the digital world."

"That's really great!"

Taiyi was overjoyed upon hearing this. Now that the matter had been settled, Taiyi was not going to linger any longer. Not to mention others, he was also eager to eliminate Di Limo directly.

"Then let's not delay, let's go now."

"We'll wait for your news!"

"Everyone, let's go!"

After saying that, without waiting for the Four Holy Beasts to respond, Tai summoned the gate and, with Koushiro's location tracking, accurately pinpointed the location of the deserted island. Then, things became much simpler.

"rush!"

Taiichi charged into the room first, followed closely by the others. A familiar, slight dizziness washed over them, and the scene before them changed drastically. Most of them hadn't even adjusted yet when a deafening explosion rang in their ears, startling them all. When they could see clearly again, they looked over immediately and found Taiichi piloting WarGreymon in a fierce battle against a giant winged club in front of him.

Because of its size, WarGreymon was sent flying by Diremon in the blink of an eye.

They could see WarGreymon crash directly into a building, shattering it as it did so. In addition to the flashes of light and explosions, everyone could clearly hear a very realistic explosion, and even faintly hear human screams and cries... If they hadn't known beforehand that it was all fake, they probably would have believed it to be true, thinking that the Demon Lord had really attacked Tokyo.

Even so, everyone stared at Koushiro with considerable surprise and even shock.

Koushiro didn't react much to this; it was just a small sound effect, and he could easily figure it out with a little practice.

Koushiro's attention immediately fell on Deimora. The way Deimora was showing was not what Koushiro knew, but it didn't matter. After the Digimon had agreed to unite with humans, Deimora's fate was already sealed.

Koushiro could sense that although there was no one around at the moment, there were countless cameras in the sky all aimed at this place. It seemed that Mitsuo Yamaki had indeed done a lot of work, and it shouldn't be long before the Digital World truly appeared in the public eye.

What the future of the world will look like is beyond Koushiro's knowledge, but at least in the current situation, it is definitely more advantageous to unite.

Thinking this, Koushiro looked at WarGreymon, who had already torn off Taichi's wings, and was both amazed and ordered BanchoSpiritmon to immediately step forward and fight alongside Taichi.

At the same time, everyone stepped forward to challenge Emperor Li Mo to the death. At this moment, everyone was strong and well-equipped, while Emperor Li Mo was a broken and defeated force. In the back and forth, the advantage was naturally too great. Therefore, it could be seen that Emperor Li Mo was almost completely defeated. Even after changing his form, he was completely suppressed by Taiyi. There was no special reason for this. It was simply because they were quite familiar with Emperor Li Mo's various moves. Even if the form changed, they could still adapt to it and immediately regain the upper hand over Emperor Li Mo.

However, although the advantage is clearly on Taiyi's side so far, it always gives people the feeling that the battle will continue for quite a long time. But after Qinglong Beast and the others arrived here following Taiyi's trail and launched a desperate attack on Dili Mo, Dili Mo paused for a moment and then immediately began an extremely fierce resistance.

The most obvious change is that the number of forms that Digimon can transform into has increased from one to several, and each of them is fighting frantically while covering the escape of the other forms. Because of Digimon's crazy actions, everyone felt a lot of pressure. Some Digimon didn't even have time to block him and were instantly killed by Digimon. If it weren't for the large number of Digimon on this side, one would immediately be replaced by another, which would have kept Digimon firmly contained.

This situation seemed to confirm even more of what everyone wanted to do, making Di Li Mo even more anxious. Several huge cracks appeared in the sky, and countless red lights poured down like waterfalls, flooding into Di Li Mo's body. This made Di Li Mo's power even more violent, tearing through everyone's defenses and creating a huge breach. It looked like Di Li Mo was about to break through!
