I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

Is the intention of using this story to subtly imply that the Royal Knights are just like those ignorant people who only listen to one side of the story?

The arrogant one is the World Tree, while the foolish ones are them?

No, that's not right. How could they be such ignorant people? How could they just listen to one side of the story...?

Wait, could it be... not a veiled attack, but a genuine desire to discuss justice with them?

The fragrant beast was unsure of the six-winged beast's thoughts for a moment, but in any case, since the six-winged beast had raised a question, it would naturally explain and answer it.

"...Although I don't understand what you're trying to say, since you've asked, I'll answer!"

"So-called justice is not the same as so-called fairness!"

"Fairness does not exist in this world. If fairness is justice, then how can justice exist in a world where fairness does not exist?"

"If we must describe justice, then... it's the simplest of principles!"

"—Victory is justice, might makes right!"

Chapter 166 Killing someone is not enough; you must also destroy their spirit. How terrifying!

The victor is justice, the strong are justice.

This is a saying that has been passed down from ancient times to the present and is considered very reasonable by many people.

Because peace needs ideals to sustain it, ideals need courage to realize them, and courage needs force to provide it.

Therefore, strength is the most important and primary means of maintaining peace; without force, nothing can be done or accomplished.

Yggdrasil formed the Royal Knights in search of beings who stand at the pinnacle of the Digital World.

It is precisely because the World Tree understands this principle that it chooses the most powerful group of people.

In this world, the strong are respected; only the powerful can accomplish anything!

Among the Royal Knights, there are quite a few Digimon who believe in the supremacy of the strong, whether it is Aromon, LordKnightmon, or Monarchmon.

Therefore, for the Fragrant Beasts, the strong are justice, and the victor is justice.

If you want to understand what justice is, then I will tell you what justice is!

The six-winged beast pondered for a moment after receiving this answer, and then it seemed to laugh.

"So that's how it is. The victor is the righteous one... So does that mean that if I win against you, then I am the righteous one, and you are the unrighteous one?"

"..."

Of course not!

The fragrant beast instinctively wanted to respond in that way, but before it could speak, it abruptly stopped itself.

If it denies the six-winged beast's words at this moment, wouldn't that be denying the justice it had previously spoken of?

The strong are the only righteous, and the one who wins in the end is the victor. This is the purest and most cruel law of the jungle.

only......

"Hehe...that answer...that's not right, Fragrant Beast."

"That's not the answer I want. Justice based solely on force is not true justice..."

"What exactly are you trying to say?!"

The words of the six-winged beast stirred up a bad feeling in the fragrant beast's heart, and it couldn't help but roar, questioning loudly.

"What I wanted to say... well, you're right. I simply wanted to deny your respective notions of justice. Is there a problem with that?"

The gentle tone of his words sent a shiver down the spine of the fragrant beast.

To deny the justice of each of them?

The Royal Knights, as the strongest force in the Digital World, are united in name only, but in reality, they are at odds. They each have their own sense of justice, and each of them has completely different ideas. They are just strangers who gathered together because of Yggdrasil.

Even though they all believe in the supremacy of the strong, Aromamon, LordKnightmon, and Monarchmon have different views on life and values. Therefore, although they are closer than others, they sometimes quarrel fiercely.

Maintaining their own 'justice' and disdaining the 'justice' of others—this is the daily routine of the Royal Knights.

To be honest, almost everyone in the Royal Knights is disdainful of the other's sense of justice and wants to prove that they are right. However, over the years, not one of them has changed their mind, nor has anyone changed the mind of others.

They achieved the best result of finding common ground while reserving differences in the most unlikely way.

This also shows that the Royal Knights have very strong wills and they have no doubt about the justice they believe in... well, okay, of course, excluding those two goofballs, Gallantmon and Skullmon.

In other words, it is virtually impossible to shake their sense of justice.

Can......

For some reason, when the six-winged beast uttered those words, the aromatic beast couldn't help but tremble.

Indeed, this is true. The principle of respecting the strong is paramount. The Fragrant Beast's belief in respecting the strong was exposed the moment the Six-Winged Beast became stronger and suppressed it.

Continuing to uphold the principle of the strong ruling over the weak will only give the six-winged beast an even greater advantage.

—Since you say that the strong are respected, then I am stronger now, so why don't you believe in my justice?

Unable to refute or resist, the moment they were at a disadvantage, they clearly lost the right to talk about justice with the six-winged beast!

When a belief in the supremacy of strength encounters a more powerful evil, its vulnerability is revealed...

......hateful!

The aromatic beasts realized the six-winged beasts' intentions: the six-winged beasts not only intended to defeat them, but also to shatter their beliefs.

No matter how many times a person is defeated, as long as the belief in his heart remains, he will rise again no matter how many times he is defeated. But if the belief in his heart collapses, even if he still has the power to destroy the world, it will still be useless.

Killing someone isn't the best option; destroying their spirit is...

To kill someone and then destroy their spirit—how terrifying!

"Victory in this battle was already in my hands long ago; the outcome is no longer a question. So, what follows... are other battles."

"Fragrant Beasts... Royal Knights, come on, the war of the heart is about to begin."

"Your justice and our justice, which one is the true justice?"

A loud voice resounded through the sky. Both the eight-legged horsemon and the Crimson Knightmon heard the voice of the six-winged beast. The Royal Knights felt a chill in their hearts at this new declaration of war.

Logically, if it were a contest of justice and will, both sides should be on the same level, and thus, they should have a chance of winning this contest. However, upon hearing this, both Omegamon and Aloemon realized that they had already lost...

Both body and soul, we are defeated by this six-winged beast...

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit; this six-winged beast has such a vicious heart!

However, apart from Aromon and Omegamon, the other Royal Knights did not feel bad about it. In fact, they felt that actively abandoning force and choosing justice was like giving up their advantage and choosing their disadvantage, using their weakness to attack the enemy's strength.

Good heavens, there are still such kind people these days! Six-winged Beast, you're so gentle!

We'll take this psychological victory without hesitation!

What? You're saying we might lose?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

We are Royal Knights, Royal Knights who fight for justice! We are justice, and the Six-Winged Beast is evil! How could we possibly lose?

Ultimately, the six-winged beast only stepped forward now. It had committed countless evil deeds before, and that alone was enough to leave it speechless.

If the six-winged beast wins, their Royal Knights will be disbanded on the spot!

Chapter 167 Love is War...The Mind is War

The war of the mind is also the war of the will.

Different wills clash and collide; you deny my ideas, I deny yours—it's a battle where there's no winner and no loser.

You either win and defeat others, or you suffer defeat and your beliefs crumble.

The clash of wills between the six-winged beast and the Royal Knights will determine the ultimate outcome. Will the Royal Knights prevail, causing the six-winged beast to lose its sense of righteousness, or will the six-winged beast prevail, leaving the Royal Knights devoid of faith?

This is a clash that can also determine the course of a war!

What? You're saying the Hexawing Beast is already capable of easily defeating the Royal Knights, and there's no need for this kind of confrontation?

Small, the layout is small.

While that's true—defeating the Royal Knights would make the rest of the battle go smoothly—who are they now? They're the protagonists now! How can protagonists fight without verbal sparring?

As we all know, the Royal Knights are supporting characters while the Six-Winged Beasts are the main characters. If that's the case, then the Royal Knights are qualified to be recruited. Just imagine, the Royal Knights are moved by White Curtain's persuasive words and decide to help them. What a scene that would be!

If you haven't managed to convince the big boss to be on your side, you can't really call yourself a protagonist.

Sayuri doesn't have that ability yet, so White Curtain has to do it for her.

Don't worry, we'll definitely leave the Royal Knights speechless and at a loss. Can the cricket Royal Knights compare to our strength, which has been in Zu'an for eighteen years and whose family tree is still with us?

Hmph hmph hmph hmph... At the pinnacle of the keyboard, I reign supreme over the world. With my White Curtain, there is heaven! Key, come!

The battle continued, with powerful energy fluctuations still exploding in the sky. However, this intense scene no longer attracted anyone's attention. Both Little Lily and the Eight-Legged Horse Beast had their eyes fixed on the real battlefield...

Willpower and belief, from mere strength to mutual justice, a true clash of body and soul!

—Six-Winged Beast VS Royal Knights!

Gallantmon and Omegamon exchanged a glance, and both of them simultaneously withdrew some of their strength, turning what should have been a decisive battle into a game of cat and mouse.

Whoever wins, they will listen to.

Anyway, their victory or defeat has nothing to do with the real battlefield, so why fight so desperately?

There was no way before, but now there is, so we can take it easy a little.

It's past three o'clock, there's no point in doing anything now, let's have some tea first.

"A six-winged beast..."

Realizing the true purpose of the six-winged beast, the aromatic beast took a deep breath. As the strategic commander, it understood that this clash of wills and beliefs could not proceed. Since the other side dared to come, it must have come prepared. If they rushed into battle, they would most likely be at a disadvantage.

Once defeated, they will completely lose the ability to fight back.

So... it wants to bypass this clash of beliefs.

Although this might give the impression of defeat without a fight, at least they haven't lost, and as long as they haven't lost, there's still a chance.

That's right... this is the only way!
