World Tree Host's Wandering Digital Project

This part of data is completely normal. It is the basis for maintaining Popy's life and can be said to be the most important part of Popy. However, the host has added some functions to it. It is easy for the host to control Popy's dual personality and monitor the outside world at the same time.

"What do you think?"

Chronos turned his head and looked at Amasaki Ren, who had witnessed everything, and he still had that flattering smile on his face.

"Everything you have is a reward to us. It is her honor to work for you."

Chronos raised his eyebrows. Are you trying to flatter me like this? I didn't add such data.

"You're doing well, keep it up."

Chronos patted Amasaki Ren's shoulder, checked the data, and deleted the memory data he had just had.

Chapter 319 Communication with Chronos, the Temptation of Resurrection

When the host was about to show his true business war skills, Popy also returned to the CR base.

"Everyone! I'm back!"

The four people lying on the bed and the two people standing turned their heads to look at Popy waving at them from outside the door.

Hosou Eimu and the other two were lying in bed receiving intravenous drips to recover from their injuries after being beaten by Chronos, while Kujo Kiriya was strongly asked to have a full body check-up first. Kagami Haima and Simon Nico were looking after them.

"Oh! Popy, you are finally back!"

"I'm sorry to have made you worry, but this time it's all thanks to Mr. Chronos, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back."

Popy patted his chest with lingering fear. The familiar name made Jing Feicai frown.

"Chronos? The black-green knight? What does he have to do with it?"

"Don't be so rude. Chronos saved my life."

The sudden information made all four of them unable to lie still. There was a commotion, and everyone in CR gathered around the table with bandages wrapped around their necks to listen to Popy tell about what he had been going through during this period.

"Last time you guys left, the chairman of Huanmeng Company, Tianqi Lian, deceived me. I was taken to Bugster's base and brainwashed. He is also a Bugster...

"What?!"

"Listen to me first! Parad collected all ten types of Bugster and activated [Kamen Rider Chronicle]. Then a lot of terrible enemies appeared and killed all the Bugsters. Later, Amasaki Ren and I were resurrected by Mr. Chronos and his men. Since then, I have been working at Dream Company."

"Wait a minute, let me stroke it."

Hosou Eimu covered his head with his hands. The large amount of information made their brains a mess.

"Are those enemies tanks, helicopters, and the like?"

Jing Feicai asked Popy a question.

"Yes, they seem to be creatures similar to Bugster. Mr. Chronos said they are Digimon."

When Popy thought back, a look of fear unconsciously appeared on his pretty face.

"They killed Parad and Bugster who was resurrected by [Kamen Rider Chronicle], and Amasaki Ren and I couldn't escape either."

“Those bastards!”

Hosou Eimu and his companions were furious. They had never expected that Poppy would be there where the armored troops suddenly appeared, otherwise they would have gone to rescue her at all costs.

Covering his chest with both hands, Popy's face turned pale, as if he remembered the pain of being pierced through the chest by a spear. Baosheng Yongmeng wanted to let Popy rest for a while, but Jingfeicai stopped him with her eyes. Now it was more important to get more information as soon as possible.

"I don't know what happened next. Later, Mr. Chronos and his men resurrected me and Amasaki Ren. He snatched the [Kamen Rider Chronicle] cassette from the enemy and gave it to Amasaki Ren to be released by Dream Company. I participated in the promotion of the cassette to repay Mr. Chronos."

"Why? You knew that the cassette had problems but you still released it?"

"Mr. Chronos said this was a trial, to ward off the evil that is coming."

"What evil? Isn't it evil that this crappy cassette has killed so many people?"

"I don't know, but I can feel that Mr. Chronos is not lying. The release of the cassette is to give power to the people. He calls those enemies the [Nightmare Army]."

"【Nightmare Army】?"

Popy just shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about it.

"Well, let's change the question. Is Parad really dead?"

Speaking of which, Popy pulled out the 'faulty drive' from behind him.

"This is what Mr. Chronos gave me when I left Huanmeng Company. It contains the data of Bugsters. Parad and the others are in it now."

Jing Feicai took the 'faulty driver' and wanted to connect it to the computer to check it.

"I advise you not to do that."

A strange voice suddenly sounded, and the Hua family members who were sitting there immediately dispersed. They took out their drivers and looked at Chronos who appeared behind them with a serious expression. Even Simoniko took out her [Kamen Rider Chronicle] cartridge to transform into a knight player.

"Don't be nervous. Look, we have done so much, enough to prove that we are not the enemy."

"Yeah, don't be so nervous, Mr. Chronos is not an enemy."

Popy quickly stood in front of Chronos and spoke to everyone anxiously.

"Poppy, please go out first. We have something to talk to Mr. Chronos."

Mirror Gray Horse said to Popy who was a little anxious.

"Nicole, take her out."

No matter how unhappy Nicole is, she can only take Popy out first.

Popy first looked back at Chronos, then pulled Nicole out of the door anxiously. Kujo Guiriya at the door closed the door with his foot.

"Mr. Chronos, I wonder if we can have a frank conversation."

Mirror-Gray Horse stood behind the four Kamen Riders and asked Chronos.

"This doesn't seem like the atmosphere for a friendly conversation."

Chronos crossed his arms and looked at the four Kamen Riders in front of him who were in a defensive posture. A terrifying atmosphere began to spread in the room, making them more nervous.

"...Is this okay?"

Hosou Eimu suddenly moved, pulled out his cartridge, cancelled his transformation, and faced Chronos with his physical body.

"Eternal Dream!"

"Intern, stop messing around!"

"It's okay. I believe that Mr. Chronos resurrected Popy and Kujo-san and helped us. Just like Popy said, we should not be enemies."

Hosou Eimu stood at the front, looking fearlessly into the big cartoon eyes on Chronos's visor.

"Heh...it seems that person was right about you, Hosho Eimu."

The tense atmosphere dissipated as Chronos chuckled.

He threw up the 'Faulty Driver' that was snatched from Kagami Hicai's hand at some point, and Hosou Eimu caught it at a loss.

"Let me tell you something. Parad is the Bugster born from Hosou Eimu. If Parad dies without permission, Hosou Eimu won't be able to transform without the proper surgery and will be troubled. I have stored his data in here. If I don't care, he will sleep forever."

"What?!"

Regardless of the people who were still shocked by the news, Chronos walked in front of Hosou Eimu, and Hosou Eimu had to look up at Chronos.

"But don't worry, I will solve the problem of transformation. You can transform without Parad, so now the lives of these Bugsters are in your hands. If you delete the data, they will die completely, or do you want to spare their lives? Let them sleep."

Baosheng Yongmeng pursed his lips. The worry that had been bothering him for a long time could be completely solved with just a press. However, when he thought of some of Parad's previous help and childish behavior towards them, Baosheng Yongmeng hesitated again.

"Thank you for your help, but let's talk about something else first."

Hana no Daiga and Kagami Hibi also untransformed, and one on the left and one on the right blocked the silent Hosou Eimu who was holding the 'Faulty Driver'.

"Like your purpose."

"My purpose? Didn't Popy tell you? To help you resist the invasion of the Nightmare Army."

What is [Nightmare Corps]? Who are you?!

"I am not a human, but a Digimon. The Nightmare Troops are also a Digimon force. They are coming soon. If it weren't for me, the Nightmare Troops would have already razed this place to the ground."

Chronos did not cancel his transformation and just sat on the chair.

"I don't know what Master Yggdrasil sees in you that requires me to run around and take care of you."

"You still dare to talk about taking care of us?! What do the people who died these days mean?! You are still attacking us!"

Hua Jiada roared at Chronos.

“I declare once again that I am not human. The life and death of humans has nothing to do with me. Even if all the people on this planet die, it is none of my business. Moreover, if the Nightmare Corps were to come, there would not be a single living person on this island. The guys who have died so far can only be said to have been eliminated.”

Chronos held up a finger, still with that condescending tone, which made several people very unhappy, and the words they said only added fuel to the fire.

"Secondly, we attacked you to prevent you from hindering the growth of ordinary people. Otherwise, would we let them go directly to the battlefield? The devil will not let go of the meat that has been taken out of the packaging."

"Then I wonder if we can communicate directly with that World Tree?"

Mirror Gray Horse suppressed his anger and asked Chronos a question.

"I can't guess what he's thinking. He'll come to you when he wants to."

"Please, since your boss asked you to take care of us, you should at least let us know who the enemy is, right? Otherwise, what if we hit the wrong person? And it will save you trouble."

Kujo Guiriya came over with a playful smile.

"Although I don't think you can be of any use, but since Master Yggdrasil trusts you, I will also give you some trust. Listen carefully..."

Unexpectedly, this guy would only respond to soft words and not hard ones. Several people pricked up their ears, and Jiujo even took out a recorder from somewhere.

"...The [Kamen Rider Chronicles] game is connected to a world occupied by the [Demon King]. If left unchecked, the demon army under the [Demon King] will enter your world through this entrance. What I do is to transform this entrance, try to slow down their pace, and let you grow as quickly as possible.

"The cassette is connected to another world?"

"As you can tell from the name, Digimon are deeply influenced by network data during their growth. Unlike those Bugsters formed in your playful games, Digimon contain too much data and their life layers are much more complex. Those unknown Bugsters you think are Digimon now are actually Digimon."

"What about the enemy? They will be more difficult than Parad and the others."

"Are you kidding? The Nightmare Corps is led by seven Demon Lords representing the Seven Deadly Sins. The Demon Lord who targeted you this time is the strongest, the Prideful Demon Lord. You are so unlucky. You were fine before, but you got dragged into this by that naughty kid's antics."

Chronos sighed, his tone hard to tell whether it was pity or gloating.

"Unlike your previous games, this time it's a real war. If you don't want demons to wreak havoc on the earth, then you have to work hard if that [Arrogant Demon King] blows up this planet. After all, if you can't help yourself, I'm sure the World Tree will give up on you."

"The rewards for this event are meant to motivate humans. After all, laziness is one of the original sins of mankind."

He turned his head to look at Hosou Eimu, who stopped thinking after listening to the series of news.

"Hosou Eimu, how have you considered it?"

"I..."

"I forgot to tell you, you can just ignore it. The Bugster inside is in the same state as if it were dead. You can connect it to a computer and manipulate the Bugster's data, but be careful that the Bugster might take this opportunity to revive."

This made Baosheng Yongmeng feel relieved and put the 'faulty driver' aside.

“Is the resurrection real?”

Jing Feicai looked directly at Chronos and asked an irrelevant question, but judging from his expression, he seemed to care more about this question than the others.

"It's so easy. Whether they died of gaming sickness, other causes, or even old age, resurrection is as easy as moving your fingers to get those nine noble arrows over there."

After saying this, Chronos disappeared, leaving Jing Feicai and the other two in silence.

Hosou Eimu didn't know what was going on and why the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"So what should we do? Don't fight those Bug...Digimon? What if they hurt more people?"

He scratched his head and asked others for their opinions. He did not agree with Chronos's statement, but Chronos was indeed not the enemy. It was just that they were of different races, so let alone their concepts. But what Chronos said was also right. The [Nightmare Legion], even if they were exhausted to death in front of an entire army, they would not be able to protect the people. The people should also have a chance.

You need to have a certain level of self-protection ability.

"First, kill those Digimon who are intentionally killing people."

Kujo was very sober at this time. There was no problem with those Digimon that only destroyed armor, but some Digimon would deliberately kill people, which was no different from the so-called [Nightmare Corps].

However, they say that they only defeat Digimon that kill people, but I don’t know if this can be seen in the actual execution.

"How is it? Are you done?"

The door suddenly opened and Nicole poked her head out from the gap.

"I think it's clear now."

When Hua Jiada opened the door, Simoniko almost fell to the ground, but Hua Jiada didn't care and hurried out.

"What? Big me, wait for me!"
