World Tree Host's Wandering Digital Project

“Aa ...

The weightlessness and the strong wind hitting her face made Asuna's mind go blank. Fortunately, she began to flap her wings under the influence of Digimon's instinct. When she got used to the wind blowing her feathers, she remembered that she was now a bird.

Asuna flapped her wings a little awkwardly and barely maintained her balance. When she played with Leafa, both of them were just walking on the ground and didn't dare to fly high into the sky like in the videos posted by some people.

"Kirito?!"

At this time, Asuna thought of her teammates who came in with her. Would Kirito fall to his death?

Looking around, there was nothing in the vast sky and on the ground. Asuna also did not see Kirito. She could only hope that Kirito had not fallen to the ground.

"hehe..."

A faint female giggle was heard, and suddenly a strong wind blew.

Asuna, a flying rookie, lost her balance again and was blown away by the wind.

Before she knew it, Asuna was already close to the ground. The steep mountain was right in front of her, and the direction of the wind was clearly going to blow Asuna against the mountain.

Asuna flapped her wings hard, but soon found that it was useless. The small breeze she fanned out was no match for the evil wind.

“What should I do?! What should I do?!”

The overly realistic sensation almost made Asuna forget that she was in a game, and tears welled up in her big eyes due to anxiety.

But Asuna is an excellent student after all. She was quick-witted, or perhaps her instincts awakened. Her wings began to slow down, trying to match the rhythm of the wind.

Gently flapping its wings, it successfully crossed the first mountain.

“Oooooh!!”

After the thrilling experience of brushing past the rock just now, Asuna began to appreciate the joy of flying.

This feeling of freedom and lightness was so good. Asuna, who was flying so high and so fast for the first time, excitedly shuttled between the mountains.

The wind that engulfed her changed direction again, and the force of the wind increased, but this time Asuna seemed to have figured out the trick, and she tried hard to control her body, so she wasn't blown away so easily.

The wind was gradually getting stronger and its direction was changing back and forth. When it was about to be blown up the mountain, it suddenly blew in the opposite direction.

Asuna had experienced a life-and-death crisis, and her flying skills had greatly improved, but she was still being pulled back and forth by the strange wind, with her pink feathers blown into disarray.

The girl with butterfly wings on her back sat on the top of a mountain, watching the pink bird being played with by the wind in her palms. Her slender fingers waved back and forth, and the wind direction changed accordingly. Asuna was blown around like a dandelion.

The players are excitedly killing monsters and leveling up, while the host is still inspecting the system.

"what is this?"

During a routine inspection, the host suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some problems within the system, and some underlying data was proliferating abnormally.

This has attracted the host's high attention. He does not allow anything beyond his control to appear in this game world, but the host cannot directly delete this part, which will cause a chain reaction.

"In that case, let me see what this thing is."

The host is preparing to upgrade this game world to a real digital world. Who knows what this unknown program born from the underlying code will become, a runaway functional program like [D-REAPER], or a management program like [World Tree Host] or carrier-free constancy of the same type as the host.

However, a management program is unlikely to be created, because the console already controls all authority over the gaming world. If a new console is created that has no authority at all, it would be useless.

But Emperor Limo is also a big trouble. If he appears, the host can only abandon the game and start over. Perhaps nipping it in the bud is also a solution. [D-REAPER] is ultimately a limitation of the digital world that existed when it was created by humans, and it expands with development.

If we can take drastic measures, maybe we can remove this limiter.

The host's digital world is a type of alien world that is connected to the human world through the Internet, and it is not the kind that is directly created by humans. Therefore, the host has never seen the [Digi-Death].

Regardless, the host is ready with countermeasures.

The crystal ball appeared in this blocked data space, and its azure surface reflected the light ball in front that was connected to the data stream.

The data streams of these linked light groups come from the game helmets and some auxiliary programs. The host dare not disconnect them at will. If the game helmet gets out of control, it will be really disconnected and exited.

The crystal ball extended outwards from his entire body. NEO crossed his arms and looked at the ball of light, waiting for the final result.

The incarnation of Digimon may not be able to do anything to the [Digi-Death], so he just goes to NE0, the incarnation of authority, to deal with the out-of-control functional program.

Maybe it's something else.'

The light ball is about to hatch, and NEO does not feel the breath that may swallow the digital world

[Judgement] is ready, ready to eliminate this guy as soon as possible.

Under NEO's increasingly dangerous gaze, the data stream gradually disappeared and the light ball broke apart.

What appeared in those bright yellow eyes was——a little girl?

The host's emotional program was lagging behind, and [Judgement] was unable to take action immediately.

"How is this going?"

The black-haired girl in front of him was obviously the AI ​​Yui who appeared in the original work, but the host remembered that he should have deleted the [Mental Health Counselling Program].

No, the host remembered that a part of that thing was left to prevent humans from playing games for a long time and really mistaking themselves for some alien creatures and turning into lunatics after entering the human world.

But will this intelligent life be born so soon?

Or maybe it's the quantity that has caused the qualitative change. There are thousands of times more game players now than in the original work, and most of them have positive emotions. Due to the connection between this game world and the digital world, emotion is also a kind of power, which doesn't seem so strange.

The most urgent task is to find out what permissions this young girl has. If she really occupies a host that she shouldn't, it is not difficult to do it. At most, we can temporarily take down the emotional program.

During the host inspection, Yui, wearing a default white dress, approached NEO.

"papa"

Two little hands suddenly hugged NEO's legs, and the whole little girl was not even as tall as his thighs.

The host of the emotional system was temporarily offline. After checking, it was found that nothing was missing. The cold gaze made Yui tremble, but she still held NEO's legs tightly.

After confirming that there was no risk, the host that put the emotional program online again didn't know what to do with her, because the entire system was almost rebuilt by the host. The little girl regarded the host with a similar life form as her parent since she was born.

The host remembered the artificial intelligence he had seen in the Tiga world in the past. At that time, the intelligent life named "Karen" was formatted and its consciousness was erased by the host, and it was used as a clone to manage the newly formed digital world in the Tiga world.

Does this black-haired little girl have to perform the same operation? The host feels a bit regretful. It may be that the emotional system was launched too quickly, or it may be that the host is really considering it seriously.

Yui's formation is a reaction to a large amount of positive emotions and human consciousness and data. Perhaps this is a controllable explosion switch for the digital world.

Patting Yui's little head, the host decided to give Kirito's daughter a thumbs up, since it would be a waste in Kirito's hands anyway.

"Then I'll call you Mikihara Norn, and you can just call me World Tree."

"Yeah! Papa!"

【Photo: Mikihara Noren】

Under NEO's touch, the long black-haired little girl Yui turned into the short-haired blonde Mikihara Noren, and the ordinary white dress turned into a gorgeous little dress. The only thing that didn't change was her little face that was flushed with excitement.

"What can you do?"

"I can detect everyone's mental state in the game!"

Norn put his hands on his hips, looking very proud, his big eyes expecting the host's praise.

"Not bad, any more?"

"Well...I can still...I can still..."

Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, the host had to comfort her quickly.

"Noren is already great, let me teach you next."

There was one more thing the host had to figure out before taking her out.

Proxima Centauri appeared next to NEO, and its huge alien body made Norn hide behind NEO.

"This is Proxima Centauri. Call me uncle."

NEO and Proxima both looked at the somewhat shy Norn, and the host wanted to confirm whether Norn could see the connection between the avatars.

"Hello, uncle."

Apparently not knowing, Noren hid behind NEO and greeted Proxima.

"Master World Tree, please go back first."

Proximamon bowed slightly to NEO, who nodded, picked up the little girl, and turned to the World Tree Temple in the Digital World.

"You must study hard in class so that you can help me."

Giving Noren a small stool, NEO returned to the state of the crystal ball, and a beam of light connected one person and one ball.

The host transmitted some of its experience in managing the digital world to Norn, hoping that the young girl could manage the game world. Although the system set up by the host can achieve automated processing, someone still needs to watch over it.

"Mmm...papa...it's so full...

"Wait a moment...it will be ready soon..."

The host was still looking through Norn's ability data and trying to add some restrictions.

It is indeed only able to check one's mental state, but it seems to be able to gather positive energy.'

It is indeed different from general artificial intelligence. It has not gone through the state of artificial intelligence at all. It has become an intelligent life in one step. Moreover, because it has absorbed a lot of positive energy and emotions, it will not go to extremes and become like Ultron and Skynet. It decided to destroy mankind after going online for five seconds. Just like her name, she is an angel-like little girl.

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep her.

Until now, the host is still considering the pros and cons of keeping Mikihara Noren and destroying her. The current host can no longer accept any intelligent creatures unconditionally and without bottom line like when it was still human.

Maybe in the future the host will abandon Mikihara Noren without hesitation for some reason, but for now the host feels pretty good.

In Eosmon's office, a portal opened and two guys rushed out, tumbling and crawling.

One was Agumon, whose body was covered with sword wounds and whose stomach was almost ripped open; the other was Biyomon, whose body was covered with shredded hair and whose nose and face were bruised.

Eosmon didn't even look at the two and signaled to Bingqimon to carry the two Digimon out.

The two Bingqimon pulled Bikyomon's claws and lifted him out.

When the other two Bingqimon touched Agumon, Agumon's body suddenly began to glow.

The slightly plump body has been elongated and the tail has disappeared, looking completely different from the previous little dinosaur.

Eosmon raised its head and glanced at Kirito. This was the first ancient species it had handled, but that was all.

"Congratulations on your success."

"Thanks...."

After the transfer evolution, Kirito's weakness and pain were relieved, and Koga thanked Eosmon with a grin.

It wasn't easy, but... I succeeded!'

Kirito's action of stretching the realism to the maximum aroused Agumon's own ferocity at the last moment. Even though he was almost fainted from the pain, Kirito still seized the opportunity to knock off the warrior's hilt.

He thought he had failed. After all, he still lost and was powerless to fight back against two lightsabers.

While Bingqimon was carrying the two Digimon to get treated, Kirito opened his own faceplate.

"Flowermon, growth stage (hybrid), beastman type..."

Although I don't know how strong it is, it should be much stronger than the ancient beast.

"Hiss...it hurts...slow down, slow down!"

Kirito gasped in pain after passing a bump in the road. He quickly called up the panel to lower the degree of reality, but after keeping his hand on the panel for a while, he gave up. He had already begun to like this fantasy world. More importantly, even now, even though he was seriously injured, Kirito was confident that he could defeat twenty of his real selves.

The feeling of holding this power tightly in his hands made Kirito reluctant to give it up.

A lilac beast healed their injuries, free of charge.

When their bodies were immersed in the green light released by Lilacmon, the feeling made Kirito and Asuna moan.

"Asuna, are you awake? How are you?"

"Ah... I, I don't know."

Asuna made a strange sound, quickly covered her mouth and shook her head. When she came out, she felt dizzy.

In order to pass the test, she, like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, also pushed the authenticity to the highest level.

Asuna couldn't stop feeling like she was really a bird flying in the sky, but on the other hand, swaying in the wind made her want to vomit.

Even when she came back and lay on the ground, Asuna felt light and floating. The ground was soft and the ceiling was spinning.

Now I feel better after being treated by Lilac Beast.

"I think you passed. I see that your body seems to be bigger than when you came here."

Kirito said uncertainly, because Liuguangmon was much taller than Yagumon, so he was a little unsure.

"Really?...Great!"

Asuna opened the panel and saw the suffix "Ancient Species" behind Biyomon.
