Digital Hackers' Memories

"Ow..."

Deliberately lowering its roar, Agumon's expression was slightly more docile than before, but it still maintained a wild beast-like alertness and frenzy.

However, this docility did not last long, as Agumon still regarded nearby cars and machinery as potential enemies.

Even if it were just an ordinary vending machine, in Agumon's eyes now, it would be considered "one of the same kind" as the truck that had almost hit it.

"Roar!"

Especially when it noticed the plane suddenly flying overhead, Agumon, who was barely keeping calm, looked up again and shot a huge fireball into the sky.

boom! boom! boom!

Like a series of surface-to-air missiles, Agumon unleashed its firepower frantically at a space shuttle hundreds of meters in the air.

"Rolling Ball Beast..."

In response, Kari could only weakly call out Koromon's name again and again.

............................................................................................................

"Jia'er! Jia'er!"

On the other side, Taiichi, who had rushed out of his house, was now running wildly through the streets, shouting as he ran, his voice even revealing a hint of crying.

"Where did they go?!"

Ultimately, no matter how mature Taiichi usually appears, he is still just a child.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Taiichi's immediate thought to chase after Kari and protect her is already a commendable display of courage.

However, after escaping, Taichi didn't have any specific plan on how to catch up with Agumon and the others, and just ran around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Fortunately, Taiichi's headless behavior didn't last long, and the traces left by Agumon's rampage caught his attention.

Destroyed vending machines, overturned vehicles, trampled roads...

Just like a heavily armored tank driving into a busy city center, the damage caused by Agumon along the way was clearly visible, becoming a road sign guiding Taichi forward.

boom! boom! boom!

As they got closer to the area where Agumon was, Taichi could even faintly hear the roar like that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, as well as the occasional flashes of fire.

"Jia'er is there!"

He decisively ran towards the hot pot, where the towering flames became the most obvious coordinate for Taiyi to find Agumon.

Chapter 40: The Beginning of the Hikari Hill Incident

boom! boom! boom!

With Agumon causing such a commotion, Chen Ze and Renamon, who were not far from the scene, naturally noticed it as well.

Both the towering flames and the inhuman roar indicated that a Digimon was going berserk and out of control not far from the two of them.

"It's the same data from before."

Renamon quickly realized the origin of the Digimon, and an expression of disbelief appeared on its face.

If Renamon remembers correctly, that data only appeared in the human world last night, right?

But the Digimon that's wreaking havoc on the street doesn't look like a baby Digimon that's less than a day old.

While the growth cycle of baby Digimon is short, it's not short enough for one to evolve to this level in a single day, is it?

According to the general evolutionary pattern, the infancy period is the easiest stage in the growth process of Digimon, but they still need to absorb enough data to evolve successfully.

Leaving aside Chen Ze, who possesses remnants of Agumon's data, other baby Digimon need to survive the first few months before they can evolve.

The growth period of early childhood evolution needs to be calculated in years.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the Digital World to evolve an official childcare institution like the "Founding Village." Young Digimon could simply struggle in the wild for a few days and they would be able to evolve successfully.

In fact, even with the residual data of Agumon, Chen Ze's ability to evolve into Koromon in less than a day was enough to impress Renamon.

Judging from the current situation, the digital egg that appeared only two hours earlier than Chen Ze seems to be in an even more exaggerated situation.

Putting everything else aside, the commotion that Digimon is causing right now is no less than that of Renamon, which has been stuck in the Rookie stage for several years.

“This is the real ‘protagonist’.”

Equally surprised by the destruction caused by Agumon, Chen Ze, held in Renamon's arms, first grinned before muttering something under his breath.

"It's just a pity that the ending was a bit tragic."

In this world where everything is real, Chen Ze doesn't believe the final battle will be as understated as depicted in the anime, as evidenced by the traces of destruction caused by Agumon along the way.

What Chen Ze was most curious about was why, despite Agumon's commotion, only the "Chosen Children" noticed this great battle.

Is it because those children are "chosen ones" that they were able to witness that great battle that the adults hadn't even noticed?

Or is it because of the talent the children displayed tonight that they were chosen by the constancy that is always watching this battle and became the saviors of the Digital World?

Regardless of the causal relationship between the two, the only thing Chen Ze is clear about now is that he must join the battlefield and seize the initiative before the constants realize their identities.

[Hopefully my guess is correct; homeostasis doesn't want to disturb the human world right now.]

From the previous proactive deletion of the Metropolitan Police Department's surveillance data to the current eerie silence on the streets of Hikari-gaoka, Chen Ze believes that the possibility that the constellation does not want to disturb humans is still very high.

In other words, as long as things develop as Chen Ze predicted.

In order to maintain the secrecy of the digital world, constancy is very likely to not investigate the identities of the two "smugglers" and instead send itself directly out of this world.

However, all of this is predicated on 'constancy,' or the possibility that the mastermind behind it all can return us to our original world.

Chen Ze knew he was gambling, gambling on the humanity that constancy would exhibit, and gambling that the mastermind behind the scenes wouldn't really allow him to come into contact with constancy.

Ultimately, regardless of how he and Renamon came to this world, the mastermind behind it should not be qualified to engage in a constant power struggle.

At the very least, the mastermind behind it all probably didn't want the existence of the "smugglers" to be discovered regularly.

Otherwise, given the capabilities demonstrated by constancy, it's impossible that they wouldn't have been aware of the existence of "smugglers" by now.

So, what exactly is going on here?

Even now, Chen Ze still can't figure out the true purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes.

If the mastermind behind this really exists, what would be their purpose in throwing themselves and Rei-Foxmon into Hikari-Gyogaoka in 1995?

Is everything the mastermind is doing now aimed at him or at the fox spirit?

Furthermore, during the time that Youkomon disappeared from cyberspace, could the "mysterious hacker" who kept it silent be the mastermind behind it all?

............................................................................................................

Inside the upscale residential apartment building near Guangqiu, where Meimei lives.

Due to interference from some unknown electromagnetic wave, the area has gradually experienced a complete power outage.

Even the nearby streetlights and traffic lights seemed to be affected by the electromagnetic pulse, and various malfunctions occurred one after another.

Left with no other choice, Mr. Tachikawa, who had just finished repairing the circuit breaker at home, had to pick up the phone and try to get help from the apartment building management.

"Hey?"

However, to Mr. Tachikawa's surprise, it wasn't just the commonly used electrical appliances that were having problems; even the telephone lines seemed to be interfered with, making it impossible to make a call.

"What the hell happened tonight?"

After hanging up the phone, Tachikawa turned to look at the dark street outside and suddenly became worried about his wife who had not yet returned home.

Because his sharp eyes had already noticed that not only was there a problem with the apartment building he was currently working in, but also that noisy voices were coming from other nearby residential buildings.

Clearly, this large-scale power outage and electrical damage has affected the entire Guangqiu area.

At this time, all the adults who were still awake came out of their homes and began to discuss the current situation.

Is Meimei still sleeping?

Thinking of this, Mr. Tachikawa deliberately slowed his pace and quietly walked to the door of Mimi's room.

"They're still sleeping, just as expected."

Looking at his daughter's sweet sleeping face, Mr. Tachikawa felt a little more at ease.

"My princess, your knight has to go pick up your mother now. You must stay home and behave yourself."

Without intending to wake Mimi, Mr. Tachikawa carefully locked the door and headed towards the entrance.

However, before officially leaving the house, Mr. Tachikawa lit candles in the living room for safety reasons, and then moved the day's garbage bag to the doorway, creating the illusion that there were still adults at home.

Chapter 41 The Complete Form

Bang! Bang! Crash!

Just as Agumon was unleashing its fury and destroying the surrounding streets, the sky suddenly darkened.

buzzing...

A massive electric current converged from all directions of the light mound, forming a "giant egg" that covered half the sky in a very short time.

buzzing...

The magnificent colors, accompanied by countless electrical sounds, were reflected in the sky, while inside the seemingly tangible "giant egg" lay a virtual world of data.

Like a reflection of the real world, in that data world made up of countless 0s and 1s, a giant parrot is breaking through the barriers of the world and is about to descend into this real world.

Boom!

In a daze, all the creatures that saw the "giant egg" heard an explosion.

The next moment, the "giant egg" suddenly cracked open from the middle and, under the repair of the laws of matter, transformed into a sky full of overflowing electromagnetic waves.

However, under the protection of that "giant egg," the largest parrot beast successfully smuggled itself into the human world and let out a deafening roar.

"Woo!"

Like a long whistle, visible electric current rapidly converged amidst the cries of the parrot-like beast, as majestic and solemn as the legendary thunder god.

Silence!

In the blink of an eye, the parrot beast soaring through the sky broke through the barrier of sound speed and tore through the surrounding air.

Click...

The speed exceeding the speed of sound created multiple sound barriers, and the shockwaves generated by these sound barriers shattered the glass of most of the nearby buildings.

"Woo!"

However, Parrotmon didn't care about any of that, because it had already discovered the purpose of its journey—to become a Digimon that had fallen into the human world.

Although the Digimon seemed somewhat different from the two they had encountered before, it didn't stop Parrotmon from venting the humiliation and grievances it had suffered on the other Digimon.

Silence!

With a gentle flap of its wings, lightning crackled through the parrot's feathers, spurring it to further increase its speed.

Boom!

Lightning... is never a solitary phenomenon.

Especially for Ultimate-level Digimon whose physical attributes have already surpassed the limits of normal living beings, using the power of lightning to stimulate the body's metabolism and accelerate physical changes is just a routine operation.

............................................................................................................

"What it is?"

Standing on the overpass, Taiichi, who had already pinpointed Agumon's location, stared in astonishment with his mouth agape as he looked up at the "monster" whistling past in the sky.

It was a terrifying monster that was completely beyond human imagination, whose every move could cause disaster.

Just as if the monsters from tokusatsu movies had actually appeared in the human world, the giant parrot, with its sheer size, had already stirred up a storm that swept across half the street.

More importantly, Taichi noticed that the direction Parrotmon was rushing towards was precisely his current target.

"Jia'er?!"

Taiichi instinctively opened his mouth, realizing that things were developing in a way that was more complicated than he had imagined—this giant parrot seemed to be heading straight for Agumon.

Realizing this, Taiichi, who was already very anxious, did not hesitate for a moment and immediately started running after Parrotmon.

"Roar!"
