Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Seeing this, Hikaru gently said to Minami, "You can stay in the same room as me."

As she spoke, she took Minami's hand and led her toward the room.

After the two girls left, Bai Yu's gaze swept over the men present and he said, "Since they didn't achieve their goal, they won't give up easily. They might come back again, so we have to keep watch tonight."

"Given Koushiro's situation, he definitely won't go to bed early, and he also has important things to do, so we won't count him."

"I'll take the first half of the night shift, then Taiyi will take over, followed by Qiren and Ahai. Do you have any objections?"

All three shook their heads, indicating that they had no objection.

After making the arrangements, Taiyi, Qiren, and Ahai went back to their rooms to rest.

After finishing dinner, Ah Hai's grandfather went out to visit neighbors. The old man always had the habit of going for a walk after dinner to digest his food.

Suddenly, only Shiraha and Koushiro remained in the corridor.

The crisp sound of keyboard typing was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Shiraha sat down next to Koushiro and just watched him type on the keyboard.

After an unknown amount of time, Koushiro suddenly spoke up, "Shiroha, why did you call Taiichi and me here?"

His question was direct, tinged with barely suppressed confusion.

"Given our current situation, we can only defend ourselves against the enemy; we have no combat capability whatsoever. What exactly do you want us to do?"

That's a really direct question.

Bai Yu didn't answer immediately. Instead, he put his hands behind his head, leaned back, and lay down on the corridor floor. Staring at the ceiling, he slowly said, "Kuang Zilang, you underestimate yourselves."

“Although there are more and more people with Digimon partners now, only the eight of you are the true chosen children. You yourselves don’t even realize how important and powerful your crests are.”

Koushiro's fingers paused as he typed on the keyboard.

Does the badge have power?

To be honest, Koushiro and his friends didn't take the power of the badges too seriously.

In their eyes, the Digimon partner is the most important.

This is because they have not lost their crest power yet, but they can say that they have already lost half of their Digimon partners.

Later, during the second generation of the story, when they lost the power of the crests and could not evolve to their perfect form, they realized that they really couldn't do without the power of the crests.

“But…” Koushiro turned to look at Shiraha, his brow furrowed: “Without Tentacleon and the others, our crest power is useless.”

"Furthermore, if Elder Gennai doesn't contact me, I can't contact him either. If you're thinking that Elder Gennai will send the Beetle Beasts over when the trouble becomes too big to handle, then I suggest you make other plans."

"That's impossible. Elder Xuannei has no idea what happened here. Taiyi thinks so too. You're all too naive."

Koushiro's words revealed a rationality and composure befitting a technical genius, and even a hint of helplessness towards their "fantasy."

Being too naive is one thing, but how can even someone as reliable as Bai Yu think that way?

After listening, Bai Yu raised a hand and waved it in front of Koushiro: "Don't misunderstand, this is not my idea."

"However, you are also right. Constant will not easily give in to you now. It will not let you and your Digimon be together unless it absolutely has to use you."

The moment the words left his mouth, Koushiro froze, his face showing undisguised shock.

"You even know about constancy?"

"What exactly is constancy?"

Have Koushiro and his friends ever dealt with constancy?

On one occasion, he habitually possessed Xiaoguang's body and explained the origin of the selection of the eight of them.

Since then, I haven't had any dealings with constancy.

Actually, there's no need for Hengqi to personally appear; if there's a problem, just let Elder Gennai handle it.

Bai Yu curled his lip and said, "Just a manager of the digital world, not a good guy."

Bai Yu really doesn't have a good impression of constancy.

Compared to the ambitious World Tree, Constant is overly rational, even ruthless.

It can do anything and give up anything for the so-called balance of the digital world.

The chosen children were created by it, but its attitude towards these children was typical of using them and then discarding them.

When we need you, we'll send you into the digital world to save it.

When we don't need you, we'll let you stay obediently in the real world, treated like mere tools.

Bai Yu looked at Koushiro and continued, "Before, the Digital World was in crisis and needed you to save it, so it brought you and your partner together."

“Once the crisis is over, in the eyes of normality, your ‘bond’ with Digimon will become a potential threat to the balance.”

"So it separated you, and easily prevented you from seeing each other again."

These words were extremely blunt, like a sharp knife, precisely piercing Koushiro's heart.

Koushiro's face instantly turned ugly.

He couldn't refute it, because what Bai Yu said was exactly what they were experiencing.

But he still didn't understand.

"Aren't the rulers of the Digital World the Four Holy Beasts?" Koushiro asked, as this was the only information he knew about the highest-level rulers of the Digital World.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's face showed a hint of surprise.

"Oh? You know about the Four Holy Beasts?"

According to the normal plot development, at this stage, Koushiro and his friends should not yet know about the existence of the Four Holy Beasts.

Koushiro nodded and explained, "I heard Gennai mention them. They are four Digimon that guard the four directions of the Digital World, namely east, south, west, and north. You could say they are the gods of the Digital World."

"God?" Bai Yu chuckled dismissively.

"That's just what they call themselves. As for managers, they're not entirely accurate. Let's just call them 'crown princes' for now."

"Without the central government's powerful imperial guard, they can never truly succeed to the throne."

The full name of the Four Holy Beasts should be Five Holy Beasts. They were indeed created by Constant to take over the Digital World.

Constant's initial plan was to hand over the actual management of the digital world to the Five Beasts, while he himself would step back and only be responsible for monitoring the balance of the digital world.

As long as the balance is not broken, constantness will not occur.

After all, constancy only cares about one thing: balance.

"The Yellow Dragon Beast?"

This was the first time Koushiro had ever heard this name.

His thirst for knowledge was fully aroused, and he was about to continue asking questions when a sudden burst of noise came from outside, instantly breaking the tranquility of the night and interrupting their conversation.

Chapter 70: You know how to use this thing, right?

"They're here!"

Bai Yu stood up instantly, looking outside warily.

Koushiro was the same, his body tense.

"They've come knocking on our door so quickly?"

Taiyi, who had just fallen asleep in the room, was awakened by the noise. He jumped out of bed and rushed to the corridor.

Following closely behind were Qi Ren, A Hai, and a sleepy-eyed Guilmon.

Qi Ren patted Guilmon on the head and asked, "Guilmon, where are the enemies?"

The guild beast let out a low growl from its throat, staring straight ahead in the direction of the yard.

The door to the next room was also pushed open, and Hikaru led Minami out.

"Brother!" Xiao Guang called out.

Taiichi immediately ran to Hikari's side, shielding her and Minami behind him, and calmly said, "It's alright."

No sooner had he finished speaking than one side of the courtyard wall collapsed with a deafening roar! Debris and wood chips flew everywhere as a figure burst through the dust and debris and entered the courtyard.

It was a bizarrely shaped Digimon, its body resembling a giant arthropod, with two tentacles on its head, and its shell gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Upon seeing the Digimon, Taichi, Hikari, and Koushiro's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

They were familiar with this Digimon; it was Anomalocaris.

Koushiro's face was extremely ugly: "How come it's the Perfect form?"

Having been there before, he knew how powerful a fully evolved being was, and he was already starting to plan his retreat.

"Don't worry, this fully evolved form is overrated. Taking it down won't be a problem," Bai Yu said casually.

He didn't take the strange shrimp in front of him seriously at all.

The moment he saw the Anomalocaris, the system notification sounded clearly in his mind: [Anomalocaris: Ultimate level, Ancient carapace type, Data species; Strength assessment: C-rank.]

Another Digimon whose strength has been severely lacking.

The worm in the yard didn't attack immediately. Its eyes scanned the room, and finally, its gaze locked onto the laptop in front of Koushiro.

Before the monster could make a move, a series of cracking sounds suddenly came from the roof of the Crimson Peak.

Another Digimon burst through the roof and fell from the sky!

Without any hesitation, Taiyi and Xiaoguang quickly put their respective sacred plans into action.

A white light flashed instantly, and a solid energy shield opened up against the evil spirits.

The Digimon landed heavily on the energy shield, and the next second it was bounced back by the powerful energy, falling awkwardly into the yard, right next to Anomalocaris.

Upon seeing the Digimon's appearance clearly, Koushiro exclaimed, "Damn it, another Ultimate level one!"

It was a humanoid Digimon wearing a diving suit and wielding a harpoon, a fully evolved half-fish beast.

"It's alright, they're equally unworthy of their reputation, even worse than the one next to him." Bai Yu immediately chimed in, his tone laced with a hint of mockery: "I really don't know where they got their subordinates from, both fully-formed, and neither of them are up to par."

[Half-Fish Beast: Ultimate Level, Aquatic Beast Humanoid, Data Type; Strength Rating: C-]

Koushiro looked at Shiraha, completely baffled as to why Shiraha was so confident.

Moreover, judging from Bai Yu's words, he seems to be able to see through the strength of Digimon directly.

Bai Yu didn't have time to pay attention to Koushiro's investigation at the moment; the two Digimon in the yard were already getting restless.

"Taiyi, catch!"

Bai Yu flicked his wrist and threw two items at Taiyi: a spacetime drive and an Alldramon Watch.

Taiichi caught the two items steadily, paused for a moment, and then became excited after seeing what he had in his hands.

"This... Bai Yu, you really are my good buddy!"

Previously, when Bai Yu made Taiyi recite that embarrassing congratulatory speech, he promised to teach him how to "transform" in the future.

It's not a matter of whether or not to teach him, but rather whether Bai Yu is willing to lend him the belt and props.

Taiyi was also surprised that Baiyu fulfilled his promise so quickly.

"Alright, Taiyi, now is not the time for you to get excited. The enemy is right in front of us. You know how to use this thing, right?" Bai Yu said.

Taiyi strode forward and stood side by side with Baiyu, his face beaming with an irrepressible smile.

"I know, I watched you transform very closely before, and I remembered everything!"

At this moment, the Occult Beast and the Half-Fish Beast in the yard could no longer restrain themselves and roared as they charged into the house.

Seeing this, Bai Yu and Taiyi simultaneously pressed the buttons on the watch face and fastened the driver to their waists.

Electronic sound effects started:

"Ice Demon Beast!"

"Allosaurus!"

The two shouted in unison, "Henshin!"

"Digital Moment - Ice Demon Beast!"

"Digital Time - Alldramon!"
