Digital Hackers' Memories

“I know you, a mutant disguised as a human.”

With the arrogance characteristic of Royal Knights, SwordKingmon NX approached Chen Ze and Sistermon step by step.

"Although I don't know how you met the fox spirit, 'He' is destined not to belong to you."

After a slight pause, Swordmon NX finished speaking and ignored Chen Ze, turning its gaze to Sistermon, who had remained silent.

"Sistermon, the disciple of the stubborn beast and the investigator of digital disasters..."

"Have you decided to be my enemy? To be an enemy of a true royal knight?"

Faced with Swordmon NX's questioning, Sistermon remained silent, but expressed her thoughts through her actions.

Clang!

With a sound like a blade being drawn, the data surging from Sister Beast's body transformed into a Japanese samurai longsword—Shiratsume Ichimonji-giri.

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

We really can't leave here now.

Taking advantage of the confrontation between Swordmon NX and Sistermon, Chen Ze, who had quietly put down Makiko Date at some point, stood up straight and recalled Piccolo, who was next to Renamon X.

After the initial panic, Chen Ze suddenly realized that "running away" would not solve the current problem.

Because this is neither digital space nor the physical world, but a semi-digital zone that lies between the two.

Renamon X, being a Digimon, entered this place via the internet, so what will happen to her or where she will appear after leaving this tunnel is uncertain.

In addition, as a human, Makiko Date was also able to temporarily stabilize her injuries by relying on the power of data.

No one knew whether Makiko Date's injuries would worsen if she rashly left the tunnel.

Chen Ze dared not gamble the lives of his acquaintances on the nun beast he had only met once.

This is not only irresponsible towards Makiko Date, but also irresponsible towards oneself.

In other words, putting aside all the messy consequences, Chen Ze must face the threat of the Sword Emperor Beast NX in order to perfectly resolve this crisis.

We must first eliminate this inexplicable chibi-style SwordEmperor!

Fortunately, although Chen Ze did not like to solve problems with violence, he never lacked the courage to go all in and burn his bridges.

This was true when Hikari faced Parrotmon, it was true when he transformed into Whiteflamemon, and it's true now when he faces SwordEmpermon NX...

Chen Ze simply dislikes using force to solve problems, but he doesn't mind showing off his fighting skills when necessary.

Even if the consequence is that he might go berserk again and become that tyrannical and ferocious white flame beast!

—Artificial Digital Core: Combined Evolution!

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

Bang!

Suddenly drawing her sword and charging forward, Sistermon, whose nerves were on edge, no longer cared about Chen Ze behind her and decisively chose to engage in battle with Swordmon NX.

Sistermon was well aware of the power of the Royal Knights. Even if the "NX Mode" was just a temporary vessel constructed by the opponent using digital waves, its power was far beyond her imagination.

In comparison, the only thing Sistermon can rely on right now is that the opponent's power is unstable.

If it unleashes power far exceeding what the "NX Mode" can withstand in a very short time, the Digiwave constituting SwordEmperorMon NX will collapse on its own due to excessive consumption.

This is the biggest difference between digital waves and data, and it's also a lesson learned from Sistermon's years of experience working on the front lines of digital disasters and investigating anomalies in the Digital World.

"Like master, like disciple! You're as stubborn as a stubborn beast!"

A fleeting look of disdain crossed his face. Once he entered battle mode, SwordKingmon NX was no longer as frivolous as before; instead, he was more serious and focused than ever before.

tumultuous!

It looked like flames, or perhaps lasers...

The high-temperature flames that shot out from the "impact cone" on the right arm of the Sword King Beast NX instantly formed a flowing "longsword".

Click...

They effortlessly cut through the steel bars and stones blocking their path.

As SwordKingmon NX swung its sword, even the battle-hardened Sistermon had no choice but to sheathe its katana and adopt a defensive stance.

Chi!

The next moment, the lightsaber and the katana clashed.

The surrounding air sparked with countless fireworks due to the sudden increase in temperature, creating an exceptionally dazzling spectacle.

If the space around SwordEmperormon NX hadn't been completely digitized, there wouldn't be any physical logic or physical rules.

With just this one strike, the laser sword in the hand of SwordKingmon NX was enough to cut the samurai sword in half and cleave towards Sistermon's main body.

Boom!

Even so, the difference in stats between the two weapons still resulted in a noticeable nick in Sistermon's katana.

However, Sister Beast did not back down at all. Instead, she pressed forward even further, drawing a crescent-shaped arc in the air with her katana.

——Baijie says everything in one word!

Chapter Eighteen: Nun Beast (Awakening)

tumultuous!

As Sistermon unleashed her ultimate attack, her body began to emit a special light that was distinct from the "Light of Evolution," which for a moment completely suppressed Swordmon NX.

Sistermon - Form Change...

The body rapidly deconstructs and reassembles data, and the body's form changes from "little girl" to "teenager".

This is a special ability developed through years of training, and it is also a unique training method for the Grumpymon type of Digimon.

Unlike other Digimon that pursue continuous evolution, Gankomon, one of the Royal Knights, believes that there is more than one way to become stronger than "evolution".

Physical training, mental training...

The way to become stronger is to unleash one's full potential based on one's existing abilities. This is the method that the stubborn beast taught to its disciples.

The current Sistermon has clearly grasped its essence and developed its own unique form.

Without even the aid of any evolutionary program, she can rewrite the data within her body by her own will, thus unleashing a completely different form.

—Nunmon Awakening!

The rat-shaped hood pulled down to cover her eyes, and the "holy mark" on Sistermon's chest shone brightly from it!

In fact, Sistermon, who transformed into her "Awakened Form," not only received a significant boost in power, but also had her own data attributes strengthened and reversed to some extent.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

After blocking three attacks in a row, even SwordKingmon NX had to admit that the Sistermon in front of him did indeed have the potential to surpass that of ordinary Digimon.

Regardless of its attack and speed, which are no different from those of a fully evolved form, the mere fact that it unleashes divine attributes in the form of a data species has already greatly shattered the "conventional" understanding of the Digital World.

The Holy attribute, as one of the representative attributes of Vaccine types, not only symbolizes the restraint of evil and viruses, but also serves as the basis for the evolution of Angel type Digimon.

In other words, through her own training, Sistermon, with her Data type attributes, actually gained the potential to evolve into an Angel type Digimon.

"As expected of a disciple of the Stubborn Beast."

It's hard to say whether it's mockery or a sigh.

Although Swordmon NX had long known that Gankomon had been dedicated to developing the potential of Digimon, this training method, which completely went against its attributes, still surprised it greatly.

In the concept of the Gankomon series of Digimon, there seems to be no such thing as attribute advantage or racial talent. Their acquired training is enough to make up for their innate deficiencies.

Not to mention the Data-type Sistermon (Sky Blue), even the Virus-type Sistermon (Black) can be given a sacred mark symbolizing "light" by Gankomon.

"It's just a pity that you're only in your mature stage."

Even though Sistermon used a "life-saving" skill similar to that of an Ancient Species Digimon, she ultimately only reached the level of a normal Ultimate Digimon in terms of combat power.

SwordKingmon NX is not a Perfect-level Digimon; its essence is a clone of SwordKingmon, a Royal Knight who surpasses most Ultimate-level Digimon.

"Swirling and Dancing Dance!"

With a soft whisper, four golden alloy blades suddenly shot out from the Sword Emperor Beast NX armor, slashing straight at the nearby Sister Beast.

Digital alloys are among the strongest metals in the digital world.

Any weapon made of digital alloy is at least a fully-fledged, devastating weapon.

In particular, the "Chrono Digizoid," which can combine and assimilate with Digimon using "biological materials," is a shortcut for Digimon to evolve into Modified Ultimate Digimon.

Since the destruction of the Steel Empire, the method for mass-producing "Chrono Digital Alloy" has remained a secret—a secret known only to a select few who are intimately familiar with that history.

Without a doubt, the Digizoid on Kingsword NX at this moment is the Chrono Digizoid, which exists as a continuation of the Digimon's "limbs" and can evolve together with it.

"In terms of swordsmanship alone, even among the Royal Knights, I am one of the best."

Four golden "bladed" arms slashed wildly, and Swordmon NX seemed to have four extra arms out of thin air, completely suppressing Sistermon.

Moreover, the specially treated golden "Time Digital Alloy" not only possesses the toughness and ductility of a living organism, but also retains its own hardness and sharpness, making it one of the most outstanding "blades".

The finest blade, paired with the strongest swordsman...

Sword Emperor Beast NX's swordsmanship, like his arrogance, has reached a certain peak level.

Soaring...

The blade tears through the air; the swordsmanship points directly at the opening...

When it gets serious, SwordEmmon NX truly lives up to its name "SwordEmmon," managing to corner Sistermon, who possesses Ultimate-level combat power, using only its "Rookie" stage strength.

"What a terrible combat experience..."

It was at this moment that Sistermon, facing the rapid and fierce sword attacks of SwordEmperormon NX, finally understood why the opponent was called "the king of all Knight-type Digimon".

Putting everything else aside, this kind of swordsmanship that transcends strength and relies solely on skill to suppress oneself is already a divine skill that is "close to the Tao".

The only regret is that, limited by the power of SwordKingmon NX itself, this "four-sword style" technique can only suppress Sistermon at present.

tumultuous!

Just as Sister Beast was pondering how to break the deadlock, a blazing flame suddenly came from behind her.

"Sword Emperor Beast! Prepare to die!"

Just like when he transformed into the White Flame Beast last time, Chen Ze, who had evolved into the White Flame Beast again, roared proudly, his voice arrogant and furious.

The blazing white flames around him swept through the entire tunnel like a fire tornado, transforming into a towering white pillar of fire.

"This is the power, White Flame Beast!"

Having witnessed this power before in the Digimon Black Market, SwordEmmon NX showed no panic. Its right arm, "Impact Cone," instantly unleashed a massive digital wave, transforming into a tangible energy shield that blocked its path.

Boom!

In an instant, a violent explosion ripped off the tunnel's dome, revealing a sky full of starlight and moonlight.

Clang! Clang!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sistermon, who was not targeted by the White Flame Beast, decisively switched from defense to offense.

Despite the extremely high temperature that a normal mature monster could never withstand, Sistermon launched two special ninja swords in succession—White Kill.

——Assassination Technique: Ninja Kill!

She lives a peaceful and harmonious life during the day, but transforms into an assassin at night, hunting down dangerous individuals for intelligence—this is the true story of Sister Beast.

Rather than using her own katana to kill enemies, Sister Beast prefers to use a ninja sword to defeat her opponents.

Like now...

Chapter Nineteen: The Divine Might of the Fire God

"Varied……"

Swordmon NX, whose pupils suddenly contracted and who had maintained a BOSS aura since its appearance, showed an expression of disbelief for the first time.

SwordKingmon NX had seen that white flame, capable of disrupting data stability and destroying Digimon through constant rewriting, once before at the Digimon Black Market, so it was already mentally prepared.

After all, the white flames that could destroy one of its "data avatar's" arms were enough for SwordEmperormon to put it on the "threat" list from any angle.

What truly surprised Swordmon NX was Sistermon's sudden assassination throw—a white blade.

"The might of the Vulcan?"

To everyone's surprise, a huge golden fire dragon suddenly emerged from the white blade and slammed its fist into the shield of the Sword Emperor Beast NX.
