I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

"So... no matter what, I will keep going, even if the final result is not satisfactory, I will continue without hesitation!"

The soft words carried a firm conviction.

The six-winged beast revealed its thoughts to the omega-mon.

This path is painful and frightening, but no matter how painful or frightening it is, we must persevere.

Because this is the path it chose.

—To save the Digital World and the Human World.

Omegamon stared blankly at the six-winged beast in front of it.

It didn't understand... why, why did the six-winged beast still want to walk this path, which was so difficult? Why was it unwilling to let go even though it was clearly feeling such pain?

Saving the Digital World and the Human World is a choice with no end in sight. For that elusive hope, for that plan that even Yggdrasil has declared abandoned... can we really go this far?

"..."

Omegamon opened its mouth as if to say something, but in the end, it closed it again...

After a long while, Omegamon finally managed to stand up. It looked at Hexamon and said softly, "I understand... Hexamon... I understand your thoughts and your determination."

"But, the six-winged beast."

"As you said, even you are not sure if you can save both the human world and the Digital World at the same time, so how do you plan to accomplish this task?"

"Therefore, I will not join you, Six-Winged Beast..."

After much deliberation, Omegamon ultimately made this choice...

It rejected Hexamon's invitation and chose the path that was most appropriate and practical in protecting the Digital World.

"Omegamon..."

Looking at his good friend who had stood up, Crimson Knightmon had a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Even though he had prepared for the possibility that Omegamon might choose a different path, Gallantmon still found it hard to accept when it actually happened... His friend, his best friend, hadn't chosen the same path as him...

"Granblue Knightmon, do what you believe is right! Uphold your justice!"

"My decision is my decision, not yours! Don't waver!"

"...I understand. If we meet again, we'll be enemies, and I absolutely...will not show any mercy!"

"Ah, me too..."

Gallantmon and Omegamon exchanged a smile. They had both made the right decision for themselves and figured out what they should do. Even if they met on the battlefield again and faced each other with blades drawn, the fact that they were friends would not change!

"Well then... goodbye, Gallantmon, Kitsunemon, Hexagonmon... and to the humans on whom they placed their hopes..."

"I hope your path will be smooth sailing..."

Chapter 143 - You are mine, host!

Omegamon departed, leaving the place with its severely wounded body after making its final decision.

Sixwingmon, Crimson Knightmon, and Pidgeymon watched its departing figure without saying a word.

They may have feelings of emotion or regret, but in any case, at this moment, they respect Omegamon's decision.

Actually, Bai Mu really wanted to say, "Did I allow you to leave?", but considering the role she was playing, she had to reluctantly give up. Damn it, she must find a chance to say it next time!

"The next time we meet, we'll be enemies... Becoming enemies with Omegamon isn't a good choice..."

The shrewmon sighed softly, expressing its deep regret at not being able to recruit Omegamon.

Damn it, why couldn't they have included Omegamon too?!

If Omegamon is also brought in, then at least a part of the Royal Knights' power will be dismantled.

Within the Royal Knights, the thirteen Royal Knights are quite familiar with each other, but they are not exactly friendly. Therefore, the Royal Knights can be considered as having thirteen factions. If we had to divide them into a few friendly factions, Gallantmon and Omegamon would probably be in one group, while Gankomon and Jesmon would be in another.

Then, because of his temperament, the stubborn beast also got along well with the skull beast.

As for the remaining ones, LordKnightmon and LordMon might have common topics, DragonEmperor is a Digimon, and Alphamon is also a Digimon.

The remaining ones, such as Hydramon and Magnamon, can also be considered as a Digimon faction.

Therefore, the relationships within the Royal Knights are truly complex.

However complicated it may be, the addition of someone like Omegamon will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Royal Knights.

It's a shame that Omegamon still won't join... Even though Sixwingmon has already said it so well, why won't it join? Hmm... Gallantmon too, it would have been so much better if it had just held on a little longer!

The three Royal Knights members had some confidence when facing the other Royal Knights members.

At least I can hold my head high and say that my sense of justice is correct!

But now... there are only two Royal Knights, compared to ten Royal Knights on the other side, and one of them was returned after knowing their purpose. They simply cannot stand tall and assert justice.

Oh no, I shouldn't have done that, I really shouldn't have done that!

It's not just that the Foxmon is fretting about why Omegamon didn't join in; Sixwingmon is also quite unhappy about it.

"Commander, do you think this Omegamon might be fake? Why won't it join us even after I've gone this far?"

"Normally, when I cut down a tree, Omegamon should have flown over eagerly to join us. Why is it that even though I'm all so majestic and powerful, it still won't take the bait?"

"This Omegamon is fake, it must have been drowned!"

"If you're not enthusiastic about cutting down trees, you've got something wrong with your brain!"

【...】

Omegamon should be harder to persuade than Gallantmon.

[During X-Evolution, Gallantmon began to doubt Yggdrasil and started opposing it, while Omegamon continued to fight for Yggdrasil until Alphamon finally appeared and decided to betray it.]

[Simply relying on verbal skills to persuade Omegamon is still a bit difficult.]

"Hmm... I think so too... It's because we're not the main character. If we were, our verbal skills would be spot on, and we wouldn't be in this mess..."

Touching his chin, Bai Mu thought of Naruto, the blond-haired, bearded man who faced powerful bosses with nothing but words, going from the very beginning to the very end, even winning back his best friend with his words.

Goodness, if there were a skill level system, Naruto's talk-no-jutsu level would probably be the highest, right?

only......

[Host, you're being hypocritical, getting a good deal for nothing. Do you dare say you're not the main character?]

If it weren't for the fact that showing a disgusted expression on Kyoko Kuremi's face was a reward for White Curtain, the system would almost be using Kyoko Kuremi's body to do all sorts of unbelievable things.

Over the years, the system has seen a lot, but it has never seen anyone as... flamboyant as Bai Mu.

Not the main character? Who would believe you if you said that?

Chosen by the world's consciousness to become a host, and then nurtured several saviors, and is now still using cheat codes to save the world, isn't that the protagonist template?

Ask the readers of your novel, are you the main character?

"Hiss... System, don't break the dimensional barrier so casually. Didn't I tell you not to break the dimensional barrier for no reason? It's very troublesome to repair the dimensional barrier."

"Besides, why should I be the protagonist!"

"I'm not the main character, even if the Heavenly King himself came, I wouldn't be the main character!"

Being the protagonist means working yourself to the bone, always being at the forefront of danger, and not being able to run away or show weakness in front of others. Who would want to be such a troublesome protagonist?

Bai Mu has always been very consistent with his own self-positioning.

That is, not the main character!

No matter how he was chosen by the system, no matter how he fought against outsiders from other worlds, he was not the protagonist. Those he chose, who became saviors, were the true protagonists!

That's right, as long as I don't admit that I'm not the protagonist, then I won't be the protagonist!

【...】

Host, what you're doing is what you call deceiving yourself...

Seeing its host about to throw another tantrum, the system couldn't help but sigh.

Never mind, whatever the host says goes. Anyway, some facts can't be changed.

Idealism and materialism are two very interesting viewpoints.

Logically speaking, materialism is correct because whatever it is, whether you deny it or acknowledge it, it exists. However, in many cases, humans also hold idealistic views.

What seems impossible to others can be accomplished with perseverance, and can even be described as a miracle.

Therefore, in many situations, we don't necessarily have to take a completely one-sided view. Just as we must accept that light and shadow are interdependent and coexist, materialism and idealism also coexist. No one can completely erase one side, nor can anyone completely separate them and allow them to exist independently.

Therefore, no matter what Bai Mu thinks or sees, the fact that he is the protagonist will not change. However, as long as Bai Mu himself does not feel that he is the protagonist, from his perspective, he is indeed not the protagonist.

The system was too lazy to argue with its host about this issue, so it simply let its host do as it pleased.

Anyway, he couldn't possibly escape the system's grasp.

—You are mine, my host!

Chapter 144 I don't believe it, unless I try it myself.

"Alright everyone, thank you for your hard work last night. Let's get some rest today..."

Looking at the wounded Gallantmon, Sixwingmon showed a hint of apology. "I'm sorry, Gallantmon, I was a bit too rough... Are you alright?"

"It's alright... We were enemies before, and your mercy was already the biggest concession you could make. I don't blame you for anything."

"Let's rest first... After Omegamon leaves, it will definitely tell Yggdrasil what happened here."

“Once the World Tree learns of your existence, it will inevitably send the remaining Royal Knights to fight you... Although you have gained the power of the Divine Plan and become much stronger, it is still a bit difficult for you to fight against ten Royal Knights.”

"Plus, the Fox-like Beast hasn't recovered yet, and my situation isn't good either..."

Crimson Knightmon stopped there, and both Pidgeymon and Sixwingmon fell silent for a moment.

Ten Royal Knights—this is practically their entire force. Even the Seven Demon Lords combined couldn't handle them. And now, with just these few... Gallantmon, still injured, could only hold off Omegamon, who was also injured. But before Kusanagimon returned to its Ultimate form, it was practically powerless against the Royal Knights.

They were no match for the Royal Knights.

So, this is the last safe time...
