A different kind of digital world adventure

Taiyi said with a rather helpless expression,

"This is a good opportunity to bring it home."

Because of Taichi, the original Chosen Children did not sever ties with the Digital World. Digimon would occasionally come to his house to play together. In fact, Gabumon was already living with Yamato. However, Agumon, perhaps due to its untamed nature, would occasionally return to the Digital World to run wild, even though it stayed at home, which made Taichi very envious... well, very annoyed.

"So."

Since everyone was preparing to head to the Digital World, Taichi didn't delay. He immediately pulled out the Digivice and, without waiting for anyone's reaction, shouted, "..."

"Open the door to the digital world."

Whoosh~~

As soon as he finished speaking, a circular portal of light appeared in front of Taiichi. Taiichi and Agumon took the lead and walked into it. Then, the light suddenly sucked in the others, who were also sucked into the portal along with Taiichi.

When they came to their senses again, they found themselves in a forest.

"This...this is the Digital World?" Daisuke blinked, somewhat incredulous. "Why don't we even need a computer?"

“Taiyi’s sacred plan is different from ours,” Taiyi explained briefly. “Don’t worry about it, just think of Taiyi as special.”

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense for a legendary figure to have some special qualities, so they stopped worrying about it.

They focused their attention on Tai, only to find that Tai and Agumon had subtle expressions and were moving their bodies slightly, as if they had hedgehogs on their bodies.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Jia'er looked worried. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No... I just feel uneasy. It feels similar to being in the Dark Sea." Taiyi stretched his body, looking around before his gaze quickly settling on the Dark Tower in the distance.

"It must be because of that thing."

"The Dark Tower can suppress the evolution of Digimon." Kari looked puzzled. "But will it work for you, brother?"

Putting everything else aside, he just wiped out a dark world.

"It's still somewhat effective. You really can't break free without putting in some effort, but it's not a big problem." Taiyi thought for a moment and then gave an analogy, "For me, it's like being covered in a layer of latex."

“Although it can be torn off, it will take some effort.” Taiyi said, looking around. “Since there is no danger here, let’s leave it like this for now.”

This also helps to conserve some energy and feign weakness, since according to Jia'er and the others' descriptions, Taichi thinks that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is a fairly powerful villain, so the enemy should be given the respect he deserves.

"Then let's try to contact the Steel Empire first."

Taiichi was adjusting the screen of the Divine Plan.

"I remember the Wind God Beast taught me to do it like this... Oh, okay."

Taiichi operated the controls for a while, and then the screen suddenly lit up, revealing a holographic image of the Wind God Beast in front of him.

"Taiyi, it's been so long since we last contacted each other. What happened? Why haven't you heard from me in three years?"

"Senior Taiyi, you know the Wind Beast?"

Before Taiichi could reply, Xiaojing, who was standing next to him, said in surprise.

"I've known the Wind Beast for a long time... What, you know them too?"

"Yes, the Digimon from the Steel Empire have helped us a lot."

“Oh...that makes sense.” Taiichi nodded, recalling what Kari had said earlier, and then turned to look at Wind God Beast. “As you can see, I have returned to the Digital World due to an accident.”

"The specifics are a bit complicated, let's talk about it when we meet."

"In short, I need your help."

Upon hearing Taiichi's words, the Wind God Beast, which had been about to say something, immediately shut up and then nodded seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Please wait a moment, the guards will be here shortly."

"Expected within ten minutes."

After saying that, the Wind God Beast hung up the communication.

"Alright, everyone, please wait a moment," Taiyi said, looking at the crowd. "Wait ten minutes for the guards to arrive..."

Boom boom boom!

But before Taiichi could finish speaking, the earth trembled, and then a peacock-type Digimon carrying a thicket of trees sprang out of the forest, followed by hundreds of wingless bird-type Digimon.

【Gorgeousmon, Ultimate Level】

Kiwi birds and beasts, mature stage

The lead, ornate beast's eyes scanned the crowd, quickly locking onto Taiichi. It walked up to Taiichi, extended its wings, gave him a crisp salute, and then said...

"Mayor Magnificent Beast, the mayor of Bush Town under Forest City in the K region of the Steel Empire, has arrived with his guards to escort Your Majesty. Welcome home!"

Clang!

The kiwis behind them simultaneously lined up and straightened their bodies.

Welcome home!

Taiichi's lips twitched. He hadn't expected Windgodmon to make the arrangements so quickly, nor had he expected Brilliantmon to put on such a show. But no matter what, Taiichi could only nod slightly at this moment, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then, Taiyi turned around and looked at everyone.

"Everyone come together."

At this moment, Daisuke and the others were completely dumbfounded by what they saw.

For the first time, they had a direct impression of the legendary nature of Taiyi.

Chapter 158 "The Guard"

"Actually, we are just the advance team, here to meet you first. Lord Wind God Beast will come to pick you up in person later."

As Glammon led the way, he addressed Taichi and the others.

"However, the Energy City is quite far from here, and it is expected to take an hour, so please wait a moment."

"It's alright, I'll wait a bit, there's nothing else to do."

Taiichi was very understanding, and he looked at the magnificent beast with great curiosity.

"Speaking of which, you're not a modified Digimon, are you? Are you working for the Steel Empire now?"

“You’re joking. The Steel Empire is no longer just a place that’s suitable for us.” Glammon replied with a smile. “Anyone who wants to work here can come. It’s not just us. Even Undead and Dark Digimon work in the Steel Empire.”

"My colleague, the mayor of Wutong Town, is an immortal bullfighter beast."

“Is that so…” Taiichi nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of satisfaction. “The Wind God Beast did a really good job.”

Although it's just a trend, the fact that all Digimon can coexist peacefully is becoming increasingly clear under the rule of the Steel Empire.

This made Taiichi feel even more strongly that he had made the right decision to agree to let the Wind God Beast be the person in charge.

Whether or not one is in charge is irrelevant; what matters most is that the digital world can achieve lasting peace.

"I remember that before I left, the Steel Empire had a system in place for the wages of workers who performed evolution surgeries. Even non-modified Digimon could undergo the corresponding evolution surgeries. However, at that time, there was no surgery to evolve into a non-modified Digimon. What is the situation like now?"

"Of course, the main focus is still on modified evolution surgeries, but non-modified evolution has also seen some development, including several relatively mature non-modified Ultimate evolution surgeries," Giramon replied, its expression becoming somewhat pleased. "To be honest, after accepting this mission, I've accumulated enough evolution points, and I'm preparing to apply to go to Energy City to receive an evolution surgery."

"Oh? Congratulations!" Taiichi was genuinely happy for Glammon. "So, what type are you planning to choose? Do you have a choice?"

“I’ve made my choice. I’m going to evolve into Crossmon.” Glammon nodded immediately. “I still prefer to be a bird-type Digimon. And to be honest, I’m actually quite afraid of dying. The technique for evolving into Crossmon is very close to the modified evolution surgery, so it’s the most mature non-modified evolution surgery in the Steel Empire. So far, all three Digimon that have undergone the surgery have successfully evolved into Crossmon. The success rate of the surgery is 100%!”

"...Only three? That sounds a bit few."

"...Actually, that's enough. After all, there aren't many Digimon that can save up enough for the Perfect level surgery, and even fewer that can save up enough for the Ultimate level surgery. Of those, only a portion will choose to evolve into Crossmon. So, three Digimon is really quite a lot."

"is it?"

Hearing what Gorillamon said, Tai was quite amazed.

"So you're really amazing, managing to accumulate enough points."

"Actually, it's all thanks to you. If I hadn't snagged this escort mission, I would still be far from having enough points." Glamoron chuckled. "However, I am indeed the Digimon that accumulates points the fastest in Forest City."

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually the Digimon in Forest City who accumulated enough Perfect Volume Points the fastest!"

The Chosen Children, who were being led by Kiwimon behind them, watched Taichi chatting and laughing with Magnificon, and everyone felt very strange.

“Taiichi-senpai has a kind of aura that is completely different from ours,” Iori suddenly said. He thought for a moment before saying, “It’s as if Taiichi-senpai is a resident of the Digital World.”

“Isn’t that obvious?” Daisuke chimed in from the side. “Taiichi-senpai is already the emperor of the Steel Empire, so he must be a resident of the Digital World.”

“That’s not what Iori meant.” Before Iori could refute, Kyo, who was standing next to her, slowly said while thinking, “He probably meant that he felt that Taiichi-senpai was more like a native of the Digital World.”

"...What do you mean?" Daisuke didn't quite understand. "Does it mean that Taichi-senpai is so strong that he's like a Digimon?"

"No, Daisuke, you idiot." Kyo rolled her eyes. "What I mean is, Taichi-senpai seems to be very good at thinking from the perspective of Digimon."

"Think from the perspective of the Digimon?"

"I think I understand." Takeru, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke up. Looking at Daisuke's puzzled expression, he didn't mince words and said directly.

"Digimon's instinct is to evolve. Before Taichi became the emperor of the Steel Empire, Digimon could only evolve to the next stage through fighting or training and by chance."

"But now, with the existence of the Steel Empire, evolution for Digimon has been transformed into various forms of labor. Although it is still hard work, it is much better than risking one's life to evolve before."

"In that case, the Digimon would have no reason to fight, and naturally, they would have the possibility of living together peacefully."

"And the root of all this lies in the direction that Taiyi once pointed out for the development of the Steel Empire."

"...I still don't quite understand." Daisuke scratched his head. "Is evolution really that difficult?"

"It's not difficult for you chosen children, but for us ordinary Digimon, evolving used to be a matter of luck." Kiwimon, which was under Daisuke, suddenly spoke up, looking at Taichi in front of it with eyes full of respect. "But now, as long as we accumulate enough points, even we can evolve into Perfect... or even Ultimate."

“This was something I never dared to even dream of before,” the Kiwi exclaimed. “It’s all thanks to King Taiyi.”

Taiyi's kindness is never enough!

"Taiichi-senpai is so amazing!" Daisuke finally understood what Taiichi had done, and his eyes were full of stars as he looked at Taiichi.

Did he foresee this situation from the very beginning?

“It shouldn’t be… Brother isn’t actually the kind of person with great foresight,” Kari chimed in from the side. “He probably just stood on the side of the Digimon and thought that all Digimon should be given an equal opportunity to evolve.”

"Isn't that even more frightening?" Xiao Jing exclaimed in awe, looking at Taiyi in the distance with admiration. "Is this what a legend is?"

"Can you guys please stop bragging?"

Taiyi turned back to look at everyone with a helpless expression.

"I didn't want to say much, but the more I talked, the more outrageous it became."

"Instead of wasting time on that, let's get to work."

"Work? What work?"

Taiyi asked curiously, "Didn't you say we'd wait in town?"

“There’s still an hour left. We can’t just wait for this hour, can we?” Taiyi said, pointing to the Dark Tower in the distance. “Let’s go and overturn that.”

After chatting with Gorgemon the whole way, I gained a clearer understanding of the current situation in the Digital World. Then I thought that since I was just idling around anyway, I might as well overturn the Dark Tower and liberate this area.

Everyone felt that Taiyi's explanation made a lot of sense.

So everyone immediately changed direction and headed towards the Dark Tower.

They soon approached the Dark Tower, but before they got there, a humanoid Digimon dressed in full armor blocked their way.

[Samuraimon, Champion Stage]

"Leave this to me." Perhaps wanting to show off in front of Taiichi, Goryumon immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please watch carefully."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Seeing this, Taiyi nodded slightly. (Six) Billion Qi Strange iv is Dad.

He watched as Grandmon charged towards Samuraimon, not giving it much thought. After all, it was a Perfect level versus Champion level, a whole level difference; there was no way he could possibly lose...

bump!

Then, Magnificent was cleaved back by Samuraimon's sword.

""

Tai looked up at Samuraimon over there, observed it carefully, and confirmed that Samuraimon was at a normal Champion level. Then, he looked down at the fallen Magnificen and remained silent.

Bush Gomen?

Can Digimon be this bad?
