A different kind of digital world adventure

"Yagami Taichi, can I trust you?"

Yamato stared intently at Taichi with his lips pursed. To put it bluntly, what he was doing was choosing to let Yagami Taichi make the decision for him. If Yagami Taichi was a scumbag like Kurata Akihiro, then without a doubt, Yamato would make another grave mistake.

However, considering the short time he had spent with Tai, and more importantly, the fact that he and Tai had resonated together to become Omegamon at a certain point in time, Yamato decided to go all in and trust others one more time!

"Do not worry."

"I will not let you down."

After making such a solemn promise, Taiyi couldn't help but smile.

"Actually, you don't need to worry so much. I'm quite sensitive to the enemy's nonsense. If they really start spouting nonsense, they definitely won't be able to say a second word before a fight breaks out."

"Just watch my movements and start cutting the film with me."

"We're both adventuring in the digital world, but I always feel like you and I are completely different."

"This is not your imagination."

Sora walked over and patted Ahe on the shoulder, saying with deep agreement,

"You have to understand, Taiichi is probably a one-of-a-kind existence in all the Digital Worlds."

"Just get used to it."

""

Taiichi then ignored the speechless Awa and turned to look at Daimon.

"The gate, the World Tree is not an easy opponent, so don't act rashly this time. Follow my lead, okay?"

"rest assured."

The gatekeeper gave an "OK" sign, indicating, "I won't act rashly."

If Daimon had said this before, it wouldn't have been very credible. However, after nearly eliminating Thomas not long ago, Daimon's teamwork has improved significantly. Although he still doesn't cooperate well with others, he has no problem following orders.

Besides the Chosen Children and Masaru Daimon, BlackGatomon and Patamon will also be traveling together. Incidentally, Yamato suggested bringing Patamon along, since Patamon is Takeru's partner Digimon, and as Takeru's older brother, Yamato felt it was his duty to protect Patamon.

Although Ahe still can't recall any memories of the past.

"After things are settled here, I'll find a way to fix your brain."

Taiichi said this about it.

"Leave everything to the all-powerful Izzy; he'll definitely be able to come up with a way to restore your memories."

"That's superstition, and it's not advisable."

Koushiro spoke calmly from the side, but then immediately looked at Yamato, his expressionless face sparking a fervent curiosity in Yamato.

"But to be honest, if I examine your brain a little, I'm 90% confident I can help you recover your memory."

Hearing this, A-He felt a chill run down his spine, and then repeatedly told Koushiro that it was better not to do it for the time being. He felt fine now and would just slowly regain his memories.

This guy isn't exactly normal either...

These are his companions? They all seem like a bunch of weirdos.

And speaking of which, is he really going to leave this world?

Ahe had already heard about their origins from Taiyi, and the fact that they possessed a sacred plan identical to his own confirmed that what they said was true. This meant that he should also leave with them to find his homeland, which was what he needed to do next.

But even if that's the case, will he really leave this place, leave this digital world?

Ahe was a little confused and didn't know what to do.

He is not a determined person to begin with, and he often feels hesitant when faced with choices.

Having heard that Mimi Tachikawa's situation was similar to his own, Awa privately approached her to ask about her feelings, hoping to gain some insights. However, he ended up hearing these words from Mimi instead.

"Feeling lonely? I don't know, I've never thought about that question."

"I don't even know where the edge of the universe is, so how could I possibly know the answer to this question?"

"He's a genius too."

Ahe once again felt that the team he was about to join was truly full of hidden talents, with all sorts of amazing people.

Perhaps his hesitation stemmed not only from a reluctance to part with the digital world, but also from a fear of not being able to integrate into this small circle.

Regardless of what Ahe was thinking, once the team was assembled, everyone immediately set off, heading towards the center of the continent under the leadership of the Great Apemon.

Although Yamato had never traveled this path, he knew that the World Tree was indeed in the center, so it seemed that Grand Egretmon hadn't taken the wrong place.

In other words, the possibility that he is the messenger of the World Tree has also increased significantly.

"Tell me, what kind of existence is the World Tree?"

For this reason, Taichi tried to get close to Grand Etemon in hopes of obtaining some information.

Have you ever seen the World Tree?

"Of course I've seen them! In fact, I've seen them more often than the Royal Knights! But that's to be expected, since the Royal Knights are below my rank, so it's normal that they haven't seen me as many times!"

"The Royal Knights? Oh, so there really is a Royal Knights?"

Tai nodded slightly. As a renowned and dynamic group in the Digital World, the Royal Knights are an organization that any capable manager would prefer to establish. Although they may often go awry, it must be said that the Royal Knights are indeed exceptionally powerful.

The Digital World is currently quite powerful, so it's not unimaginable that the World Tree, the ruler of this world, would also establish a Royal Knights.

"How many Royal Knights does this World Tree have?"

"Is that even a question? Of course, it's thirteen royal knights!"

"Even Alphamon is there... that's really strong."

Taiyi nodded slightly, acknowledging the strength of the World Tree.

"Let's get back to the main topic. What do you think of the World Tree's personality?"

"We are going to see the World Tree after all. If we anger the World Tree because of something we don't understand, no one wants to see the consequences, right?"

What you said makes sense.

The Great Apemon affirmed this, but then it also frowned frequently.

@q@#q囷“But as for the World Tree’s personality... that’s really hard to describe.”

"What? You can't explain it?" Meimei asked curiously. "Didn't you say you'd seen the World Tree many times?"

8 "Of course I've seen the World Tree many times! But even after seeing it so many times, I still can't quite describe it..." The Great Apemon remained silent for a long time, pondering for a while, before slowly speaking again.

"In my opinion, the World Tree does not have true emotions. All emotions are simulated by the World Tree through its powerful computing power, just like a supercomputer that can calculate all things in the past and future."

"It doesn't sound like alcohol is much more advanced than Digimon." Taichi thought for a moment, "The emotions of Digimon are essentially also gradually sublimated from simulation to real emotions. From what you're saying, Yggdrasil hasn't even updated its emotions to the point of real emotions."

"What do you know? The World Tree's situation is completely different from ours," said the Great Ape Beast in a disdainful tone.

Nine. "Don't apply simplistic emotions to the situation of the World Tree. It is not a life in the normal sense at all. In fact, to some extent, it is questionable whether it is even a life. But in any case, it is definitely not an existence that can be normally encountered. All our knowledge of other life forms can be rendered invalid in the face of the World Tree."

"If you really want to draw an analogy, you could think of the World Tree as a kind of... conscious natural law."

"You could barely describe it that way."

7. "Conscious natural laws..."

Taiyi pondered these words, then nodded knowingly, and then spoke to everyone.

"I understand. In any case, everyone should get ready first, right?"

"If we can't reach an agreement, then let's grab our weapons."

"Wait a minute!" the Great Ape Beast said hastily, somewhat stunned. "What do you want to do?"

"Go talk to the World Tree, didn't I already tell you?"

"But you didn't tell me you were going to fight the World Tree!"

“That’s not necessarily the case. If the talks had gone well, it definitely wouldn’t have come to this point.” Taiyi shrugged. “I’m just preparing for the possibility that we might not reach an agreement.”

"Does a failed negotiation necessarily mean a bloody battle is inevitable?"

"correct."

Too little nod,

"I've seen similar managers who follow the laws of nature. Whether they have emotions or not is another matter, but they are extremely stubborn about what they insist on and have their own complete set of logic. If it's correct, that's fine, but if it conflicts with certain entities, these guys will 100% choose to eliminate the conflict."

"If you want to reason with these guys, you have to reason with them about physics first."

That's how constancy works. The World Tree that spread the X program before, well... actually, it was the same, but because the threat of the Dire Demons was almost dead, it didn't show a strong aggressiveness.

Seeing that the Great Apemon didn't seem to understand, Tai waved his hand.

"In short, this is just a contingency plan. If we can avoid a fight, that would be ideal."

"I am a very peace-loving person."

"..."

Regardless of what complex thoughts Grand Egretmon might have had, it was already close to the World Tree when it spoke those words, so there was no way to stop it. Moreover, Grand Egretmon itself had no intention of organizing anything. After all, it was just an envoy whose job was to summon people. But if it did something unnecessary... the punishment it would receive would be more than just a matter of words.

"This is where Lord World Tree is located."

The Great Ape Beast looked ahead with a solemn expression. Everyone followed suit and peered over. They could see a colossal tree in front of them that blotted out the sky. It was probably tens of thousands of meters tall and thousands of kilometers in diameter.

It truly deserves to be called a world tree.

"This really is the World Tree."

Taiyi never expected that the World Tree's outward appearance was indeed that of the World Tree. This was completely different from the other World Tree he had seen before. In any case, from the perspective of power alone, the World Tree in front of him did look much stronger.

As they arrived, Taiyi could clearly sense that the interior of the large tree was gradually becoming active, and something was gradually gathering and about to burst forth.

Soon, Taiyi's gaze focused on the tree trunk in front of him.

The will of the World Tree, or at least a part of it, will be revealed in that place.

Taiyi's judgment was correct, because the next moment they could see that part of the tree trunk rotate and twist inward, and soon, a human figure appeared in front of everyone.

It was the appearance of an adult male, who looked very composed, but his eyes, devoid of any luster, were enough to convince one that this guy was not a normal human being, but merely an incarnation of the World Tree.

Clearly, this is the embodiment of the World Tree.

Initially, Taiichi was slightly relieved to see the World Tree in this state. He thought that the World Tree's behavior was a sign of its affinity for humans, a way of communicating with them on an equal footing. In that case, the World Tree's ideology shouldn't be so extreme. However, Taiichi had barely thought this when he heard Daimon exclaim in alarm.

"You are... Father!?"

"?"

Taiyi turned his head to look at the large gate.

"What do you mean?"

"That's what my dad looks like!" Daimon Masaru exclaimed excitedly, staring intently at the World Tree. "There's no mistake, that's exactly what my dad looks like!"

""

Taiichi took a deep breath, and his previously relaxed expression gradually turned serious.

Tai looked directly at the World Tree, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"What's going on, Lord World Tree?"

Let me explain briefly.

I don't think you're a very kind person.

Chapter 314 The World Tree That Catches People for Work

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere on the field immediately became somewhat heavy.

Meanwhile, the World Tree, which was using the body of Daimon Masaru's father, Daimon Hideaki, seemed to sense the atmosphere. It turned its head and stared quietly at Taiichi, as if it were observing him.

Taiichi remained expressionless and stared directly at the World Tree without moving.

In the end, it was the World Tree that looked away first, and then it spoke to Taiichi to explain.

"Daimon Hideaki, who was the one negotiating with me, had his subordinate Kurata Akihiro commit the tragedy of slaughtering Digimon during the negotiation process. This is the punishment he deserves."

"As for why I use this body, it's simply because it makes it easier to communicate with you." The World Tree paused. "Apart from that, I haven't had any contact with any other humans."

In other words, Yggdrasil will only become Daimon Hideaki, and no one else will change. Of course, this is still open to debate, since simulating a human appearance is too easy for a supercomputer.

Even a simple AI can do this.
