A different kind of digital world adventure

Taiyi wasn't too surprised by this, and even thought the setup was pretty good.

After all, the difference between the Ultimate level and the Perfect level is like heaven and earth. The gap between the two is much greater than that between the juvenile stage and the Perfect level. If one cannot control it and forces himself to enter the Ultimate level, especially in the human world, it would be an absolute catastrophe on the level of civilizational annihilation.

From this perspective, Da Menying's considerations were quite far-sighted.

"In that case, we don't have to worry about the Digimon being unreliable."

Taiyi looked at the gate and laughed loudly.

"As long as you don't mess up."

"How could I possibly be a failure!"

Although his whole body was limp, he was still very talkative and kept chattering away on the stretcher.

"Just wait, once I recover, I'll get my revenge!"

"If you continue to act recklessly like before, it won't be easy for you to get back at them."

Taiyi looked at the large gate, pointed to his chest, and...

"To master the ultimate form, one must understand one's own heart, know what one truly wants, and ultimately have the determination to give everything for it."

"If you don't want to understand these things, then you can only be called a slave to power. Even if you are lucky enough to evolve into the ultimate form, I can kill as many of those guys as come."

"Even if you're going to fight, you should at least know why you're fighting, right?"

"Knowing why you're fighting..."

Da Menda was taken aback by what he heard, and then seemed to be deep in thought.

"Think about it carefully. You have absolutely no chance of beating me if you don't understand these things."

"So you mean if I figure these things out, I can beat you?"

"No." Taiyi smiled slightly, pinching his fingertips together as he looked at the gate. "Only if you understand these things will you have even a slight chance of defeating me."

""

Upon seeing this, the gatekeeper stood there stunned for a few seconds, then flew into a rage.

"Damn it, you just wait, I'll definitely figure this out!"

Evolve into the ultimate form as soon as possible, and then beat up that show-off Taichi Yagami!

"I'm really looking forward to that day."

Taiyi said it casually, then looked at the others.

"Alright, that's settled for Masaru Daimon. Shall we move on to the Digital World? Who's up for a run? It's fine if you all come at once."

"I don't care at all."

"There's no need for that anymore."

Satsuma Rentaro looked at Taichi, and even through his sunglasses, he could sense the complex emotions swirling in the large man's eyes.

“Even our strongest members would struggle to unleash the power that Daimon Masashi once possessed. Since you can instantly kill Daimon Masashi, then we are completely powerless against you.”

"However, Mercurymon is, after all, an Ultimate-level monster."

Satsuma Rentaro's expression turned somewhat serious again.

"From what you've said, there's a world of difference between Ultimate and Mega levels, so I'm still taking a wait-and-see approach to your plan to go find Mercurymon."

"I can only say that for now, we believe you have the ability to talk to Mercury."

"If you want to see even greater power, that's fine too."

Seeing this, Taiichi shrugged.

"But that would create too much of a commotion, and it would probably take a long time to prepare for such an event. I don't think it's necessary."

"If you really disagree, then I'll find a way to sneak into the Digital World." Taichi thought for a moment. "Although it will be difficult, I should still be able to do it."

"That was not what I meant."

At this moment, Satsuma Rentaro shook his head, looking at Taichi with a serious yet pleading expression.

"What I mean is, could you help train my team members?"

"Eh?"

"At least give them the power to evolve Digimon into their Ultimate form."

Satsuma Rentaro said without changing his expression, "Even if they can't fight against Mercury Beast, their Ultimate-level power should at least ensure their safe retreat."

"In addition, I also want to take this opportunity to strengthen the Special Investigations Team."

"I hope you and I can make this happen."

"You really are... not hiding it at all."

Taiichi hadn't expected Satsuma Rentaro to be so candid. He looked around, examining both the Digimon and the humans, and after a moment of observation, Taiichi nodded.

"No problem, as for the complete form, mastering it in a short time shouldn't be an issue."

When do you plan to start?

Taiichi looked at Satsuma Rentaro,

"If there's nothing to prepare, let's start now."

"Finish it as soon as possible, and go to the digital world as soon as possible."

"That way we can reason with that Mercury beast sooner rather than later."

Thus, the special training with Taiichi and his group as instructors began in full swing within the Special Search Party. However, after just one day, all the members except for Daimon Masaru were complaining bitterly. The reason was simple: Taiichi's training method involved a large amount of actual combat. They had to fight whenever they had a little energy. Under such high-intensity combat, there was no time to think about anything else. Even in their dreams, they were thinking about how to fight Taiichi. Under this state, everyone's Digital Soul was increasing at a rocket-like speed.

This is normal. When humans face the threat of death, their bodies will have an instinctive reaction, which forces them to do everything possible to avoid the threat from happening again. Taiyi uses this method to force their bodies to start learning frantically.

Furthermore, each battle was precisely timed to the brink of collapse, which naturally maximized the learning outcomes. The only cost was immense mental strain, including daily insomnia, nausea, and dry heaving—a negligible amount compared to what they gained.

Of course, it's hard to say whether the person involved actually thinks that way.

In short, all members of the Special Investigation Team who were able to use the Digital Soul had made great progress.

Incidentally, there was also a guy named Thomas who returned to headquarters from Europe and joined the special training as well. This guy's potential is significantly higher than most of the other members, and he is on par with Fujieda Yoshino, a member of the Special Investigation Team, only slightly inferior to Daimon Masaru in terms of potential.

In Taiyi's view, these three people are practically guaranteed to reach the Ultimate level.

As for others, it's not that they have no chance, but without a specific opportunity, it's still quite difficult to reach the Ultimate level.

In short, after a week of training, everyone present, even the slowest members of the Special Investigations Team, had fully mastered the power to evolve Digimon into their Ultimate form.

Furthermore, even when facing an Ultimate-level being, there is still a high probability that it can escape.

That's enough.

And next, naturally, they prepared to head to the digital world.

"Everything is ready."

Satsuma Rentaro looked at Taichi and said,

"You can set off at any time."

At this moment, everyone was in an open space. Around the open space, there were many staff members who were setting up various detection instruments, preparing to collect first-hand data when Taiyi entered the Digital World.

"no problem."

Taiichi nodded readily, then took out the Divine Plan and held it in his hand. He then closed his eyes and resonated with the Digital World in his mind once again.

Taiichi is essentially a humanoid digital world, so resonating with the digital world is not difficult. In just a few breaths, the door to the digital world reappeared before Taiichi's "eyes," as if he could open it simply by pushing it forward.

But immediately, the feeling of being forced to close the door due to his authority resurfaced in Taiyi's mind, which undoubtedly meant that the other side had discovered him again and was preparing to kick him out of the door once more.

This time, Taiyi won't let him have his way.

Thinking this, Taiyi stretched out his hand, and everyone could see his right hand. They were puzzled about what Taiyi's action meant, but soon they saw that Taiyi's right hand had completely disappeared.

It felt like I had entered some other dimension.

This scene stunned the staff, who then frantically began operating various instruments, aiming their long and short cameras at Taiyi, frantically collecting all sorts of data.

At this moment, Taiyi was not aware of the outside world. His attention was entirely focused on the "door". At this moment, Taiyi was actively blocking the door from opening and closing.

Using your hand to restrict the door from closing can easily result in getting your hand caught, but if your hand is harder than the door, that's a different story. At least for now, no matter how hard you try, you can't completely close the door. Taiyi also took this opportunity to slip his other hand into the door as well.

Taiichi took a deep breath.

Then, exert force with both arms.

Click, click, click!

A slight noise suddenly reached everyone's ears, and they couldn't help but stop what they were doing. Everyone looked at the boy in the center, watching him struggle with something in mid-air. Then, slowly, as his arms opened, a crack really appeared in the air!

The gate is open!

Taiichi braced himself against the gate, using one hand to maintain its stability. Looking at the scenery opposite, confirming it was indeed the Digital World, he turned to the others and said...

"The doors are open, everyone, please go in now."

"I need to keep the gate open; I'll be the last one in."

"Hurry up."

Without needing much prompting, Sora and the others immediately set off into the Digital World after seeing the gate open. The Special Investigations Team members, seeing Sora and the others' actions, also quickly gathered their equipment and entered the Digital World in an orderly manner.

In the end, only Taichi remained. He turned around and nodded to Satsuma Rentaro.

"Then we'll go."

Rentaro Satsuma nodded solemnly, "Have a safe journey."

"Ah."

Tai looked at Agumon,

"Let's go, Agumon."

Then, together with Agumon, they stepped through the door.

Without Taiyi's restraint, the gate began to close rapidly under the effect of the authority. In just a few seconds, the crack was completely sealed off under everyone's gaze, and no trace of its existence could be seen anymore.

After a familiar dizziness, Taichi arrived at his beloved Digital World. Taichi looked around at the scenery. It seemed to be a mountainous area, with layers of high mountains stretching into the distance, covering a very large area.

"This is the Digital World..."

Fujieda Yoshino seemed a little lost. She looked at the scene before her for a moment before turning to look at the others.

"What's next?"

"Let's stay here for now."

Taiichi, regaining his senses, said to Yoshino,

"You should need to set up some equipment in the digital world to collect data, right? This place is quite suitable."

"We also need to wait here for a while."

"It shouldn't be long before Mercury arrives here."

"Mercury is coming...wait, Mercury is coming!?"

)qqun≯罒∨琉|耳<>奇√儿∵ⅸ$似∞√{}“Yeah.”

Taiichi looked at the shocked Shuna,

"We made such a commotion opening the door, it would be strange if Mercury didn't come, right?"

"That's true, but isn't this all too fast..."

Shu-nai's expression was very complicated.

"I thought it would take him at least two days to find us."

"Ultimate level beings are already very fast, let alone top-tier ultimate level beings like Mercurymon."

Taiyi wanted to say more, but suddenly his expression changed, and he looked into the distance.

"Oh, it arrived a little faster than I expected."

Upon hearing Taiyi's words, everyone looked in that direction and could indeed vaguely see a small black dot. In just a few seconds of observation, the black dot had already magnified by nearly double!

This guy is incredibly fast!

In the blink of an eye, the humanoid creature wearing a wolf-skin mask appeared before them, brandishing a short sword, and began its attack.
