A different kind of digital world adventure

Taiichi clearly saw the changes in Sora's Divine Plan, and those changes were exactly the same as when his own power had increased. Under these circumstances, Birdramon, even if it doesn't evolve into a Perfect form, will definitely unleash tremendous power. And if it does evolve into a Perfect form, it will definitely be an extremely powerful Perfect form. While it might not be as strong as MetalGreymon when it first evolved, it should be able to completely defeat the current Myotismon.

"I think so."

MetalGreymon agreed with this.

"But now that the Vampire Beast has been defeated, will we no longer be able to quickly reach the Dark Area?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. I don't want to leave this dangerous creature, the Vampire Beast, behind."

Although Taiyi felt some regret, he did not regret it.

"Anyway, it's not like there's no way to get to the Dark Area. Although it's slower via the Ocean of the Network, we'll find it sooner or later."

"But Taiichi, aren't you in a hurry to find Jia'er?"

"I'm very anxious, but I can't just ignore this terrible thing happening right now." Taiyi recalled the scene he "saw" while he was unconscious, and he couldn't help but clench his fist.

“We can’t just sit and wait for things to happen. That’s what I told Jia’er, and that’s what we should do.”

"Is that so..." Hearing Tai's words, MetalGreymon didn't say anything more, only nodded slightly, and then looked ahead.

"Then let's quickly resolve things here and then head to the Dark Area."

"Ah."

As it spoke, MetalGreymon accelerated once more, finally finding the Chosen Children by following the clues. Tai then noticed that Sora and the others looked somewhat dejected. Upon realizing this, Tai's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, could it really have escaped from the vampire beast?

No way! With such a huge advantage, how could they let the Vampire Beast escape?

Although it's hard to say, Taiyi is genuinely wondering how he can't even be a good "easy win" player...

Well... but this extreme thought only lasted a moment. Taiichi immediately approached the chosen children and asked,

"What happened? Did the vampire beast escape?"

"Taiyi..."

Upon seeing Taiichi emerge, Sora, with a mournful face and a deeply ashamed expression, said...

"Sorry to disappoint you, the vampire beast has escaped."

"It's alright, anything can happen in a battle."

Hearing Sora say it herself, Taichi felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he quickly spoke up.

"Next time, if I get stronger, I can catch that guy and kill him. But how did the Vampire Beast escape? He's badly injured; with a little effort, I could easily bring him down to a sliver of health. How could he have gotten away?"

It's impossible for all the Chosen Children to be this weak, but this shouldn't be the case either. They had undergone special training before. Although the Chosen Children together couldn't defeat MetalGreymon, that only meant MetalGreymon's strength was too high, not that the Chosen Children were weak!

Then, Taiyi quickly received the answer.

"No, that's not it. Sora previously evolved Birdramon into Garudamon. Garudamon was much stronger than Myotismon was at that time. Myotismon was no match for us at all, so it wasn't long before we beat Myotismon to the point of near death."

A-Zhu quickly explained to Tai-Yi.

"But just as we were about to deliver the final blow to the Vampire Beast, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared on its body, and a long-bearded old man emerged from within the mist."

"That old man with the long beard used some kind of technique to make Garuda and the others degenerate, and then we couldn't see clearly what happened."

"By the time we could see it clearly, the vampire beast had already disappeared."

"Only the door in the room leading to the human world has been opened."

"It's very likely... that Myotismon has entered the human world."

"I see." Taiichi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He had thought the chosen children were truly impossible to manage, but it seemed someone had come to provide strong support.

"Since someone rescued Myotismon, there's nothing we can do about it. Since everyone thinks Myotismon went to the human world, let's go and see what happens there."

"correct."

Thinking of this, Taiichi suddenly looked at Sora.

"Suna, you..."

"I know."

Before Tai could finish speaking, Sora nodded at him. Then, Tai saw Sora take a deep breath and look at everyone with a serious expression.

"Everyone, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Sora's serious expression, everyone looked at her intently as well.

"I actually..."

Sora breathed a sigh of relief.

“I am not the Suna you know.”

After saying it, Sora looked at everyone nervously, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Although she had some doubts in her mind and was somewhat prepared, Suna still felt extremely nervous when it came to actually saying it.

Then, unlike the others who were bewildered, Sora saw that Taichi looked at her with a complicated expression after hearing what she had said.

"As expected, you really aren't Sora."

"Eh?"

"Actually, I had suspected it for a while, but I didn't expect it to actually be like this."

Taiichi sighed, then continued to ask questions.

"Where did the Sora we know go? What happened to her?"

Without hesitation, Suna quickly explained the situation to everyone.

"Sora's whereabouts are currently unknown..."

Everyone fell silent, their faces filled with complex emotions as they looked at Suna.

They were unsure how to treat this companion who wasn't actually a companion.

In the end, it was Mugen Taichi who spoke first.

"Since things have come to this, let's deal with the Vampire Beast for now."

Mugen Taichi took a deep breath and said,

"Once we defeat the vampire beast, we'll go find Sora together!"

"Then rescue Sora!"

"That's right." "That's how it should be." "No problem!"...

Everyone echoed Wuyin Taiyi's sentiments. At that moment, Taiyi and Wuyin looked at each other, both gazing at the gate to the human world before them.

So, we have now reached a consensus.

No matter what, Myotismon must die.

"Let's set off for the human world!"

Chapter 55 Containing Death-X (Seventh Update)

However, there are still a few final things to take care of in the Digital World before heading to the human world.

The main purpose was to explain the current situation to Gatomon and the others. After all, after Myotismon threw out that black sun, Gatomon and the others basically just played a supporting role. As comrades in the same battle, it was definitely necessary for them to know the final result.

Oh, and we also need to figure out how to deal with the black sun thing.

In short, these are the two things that need to be done. So Tai and the others first went outside the castle, found Gatomon and the others who were waiting anxiously, and then explained the general situation to Gatomon.

"He's not dead?"

After hearing Taichi's explanation of the whole story, Gatomon and Wizardmon were completely dumbfounded.

"Is this the true value of being an Immortal King?"

What kind of legendary durability can they pull off things like deus ex machina?

"Is it really true that only when all eight Chosen Children are gathered can we completely defeat the Blood Demon?"

Gatomon was having an existential crisis, while BlackGatomon... or rather, LadyDevimon, was trembling with fear, as if it had a speedometer installed inside it.

"What's wrong, LadyDevimon?"

Taiyi seemed a little worried.

Is this a case of ADHD?

"...You're the one with ADHD!"

Even though LadyDevimon trembled slightly, she was stunned when she heard Tai say that, and then flew into a rage.

"I'm shaking with fear!"

"If you're scared, just say so. Why are you yelling so loudly?"

""

"So what are you afraid of?" Seeing that LadyDevimon seemed to be in a better mood, Tai asked curiously.

"Do you know who the guy who rescued the vampire beast is?"

“That is… one of the demon lords in the Dark Area, the demon lord who symbolizes the evil of greed,”

"Barbamon!"

As she spoke, the scarf around LadyBeast's neck unfurled on its own, making her appear even larger, as if this would make her words seem...more solemn and serious.

Unfortunately, everyone present was digitally illiterate. Gatomon and Wizardmon were slightly better, but they still didn't understand the power structure of the Dark Area, so they had no idea what this Greedy Demon Lord Barbamon was...

Seeing this, LadyDevimon thought for a moment and then changed her description.

"...If Barbamon wanted to, he could create a completely new species of Devimon with just a bit of his own foot skin."

Now everyone has a clear understanding of Barbamon's power.

But Taiichi was stroking his chin, thinking about something else.

"Creating a new species of Devimon from the skin of your feet... that doesn't sound very impressive."

"After all, how many feet could it possibly have? It's impossible that Barbamon's true form is a super-Bigfoot monster, right?"

"...Of course not!" LadyDevimon glared at Taiichi. "Don't you understand what I mean?!"

“I understand. What I mean is that it’s pointless to dwell on those things.” Taiichi shrugged nonchalantly. “I know you might not want to be enemies with that Barbamon, but the problem is that it’s not us who are enemies with Barbamon, but Barbamon who is enemies with us.”

"So no matter how strong it is, it is now our enemy."

"Then what we can do is very simple."

"Get stronger, then defeat Barbamon, or be defeated by Barbamon."

"You're right, aren't you?"

"You...you..." LadyDevimon pointed at Tai for a long time, unable to finish a sentence, before finally saying in a somewhat dejected tone,

"You're right, so when Barbamon comes knocking, you'll have to take the hits."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be the first one there," Tai replied with a big laugh. "And even if Barbamon doesn't come knocking on my door, I'll settle the score with him once I get into the Dark Zone."

"You're amazing." Lady Beast was speechless, then put her hands together in a prayerful gesture. "You absolutely have to become stronger. I'm basically betting everything on you now. If you're not strong enough, I'm finished too."

After she finished speaking, a burst of light emanated from LadyDevimon, and the next moment, BlackGatomon appeared before everyone.

"You can revert to BlackGatomon?"

"I can only regress into BlackGatomon." BlackGatomon sighed. "After evolving into the Ultimate level, my evolution path has become fixed."

Unlike the Digimon of the Chosen Children, ordinary Digimon generally maintain their original state after evolution. Even if they degenerate due to some changes, they will usually evolve back to the previous evolved form if there are no accidents.

This is also the main reason why BlackGatomon was so shocked when it found itself being beaten back to its original form from IceDevimon. It was the first time it had ever seen someone beat it up and it even had the effect of resetting its stats.

Upon hearing BlackGatomon's description, Taichi seemed thoughtful.

"It doesn't sound like it's really solidified."

"It's nothing more than getting a beating. If you want to change your evolution path, you can come to me anytime. As a friend, I'm always ready to help you."

"You're always trying to stab me in the back, aren't you!" BlackGatomon yelled, his expression frantic. "Are you even speaking human language?!"

What do you mean by "just getting a beating"? Taiyi's beating is hardly a beating! It's clearly called "God-Moon*Ripple/One Tomb One Chess Sissy Wu Jiu Si Jiu Ba Qu·Hell Chapter"!

Anyone who goes on a seven-day trip to hell can be reborn and become a new person!
