Digital Hackers' Memories

"But this Digimon isn't dangerous right now, at least not in my opinion."

At this point, Dr. Yamazaki paused slightly, and then actually squatted down in front of the Digimon.

"It appears that the injury was caused by a fall from a height."

"Judging from the degree of deformity of the sternum, 'her' ribs should have already penetrated the alveoli, and it seems that she will not live much longer."

Although Dr. Yamazaki, as a professional doctor, did not have the professional ethics that doctors should have, his insight and skills were beyond doubt.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen by Suedo Akimasa to come to the Central Hospital to perform some surgeries and treatments that the Kamishiro Group couldn't know about.

"Are your ribs broken?"

As Chen Ze slowly emerged from the darkness, he quietly clenched his fists without Dr. Yamazaki noticing.

If the opponent's injuries were indeed as Dr. Yamazaki described, Chen Ze felt that with his current strength, even if that Digimon awakened, he would still have a fighting chance.

After all, Chen Ze's understanding of Digimon can be considered that of a semi-expert, especially in the area of ​​"injury".

Digimon in the data world and the network world exist in the form of data. Unless they are seriously injured and dying, their bodies will not show detailed injuries.

In the real world, where matter is the primary factor, the "pseudo-protein program" certainly gave Digimon real bodies, but it also gave them the weaknesses of carbon-based life forms.

Especially humanoid Digimon that are created by imitating human form, they have all the brains and hearts that humans should have, the only difference being their strength.

In other words, since that Digimon chose to seek help from a human hospital, it means that "her" basic structure is similar to that of a human.

Severe damage to the brain and heart can lead to death; severe damage to internal organs can lead to near death...

"She is……"

After figuring this out, Chen Ze walked up behind Dr. Yamazaki and finally got a clear look at the Digimon.

"Kuzu-leaf beast?"

Over the black, form-fitting combat suit, a layer of purple formal attire was worn...

Its head, like that of an angelic Digimon, was covered by a fox demon mask that obscured half of its face...

This female-looking Digimon is none other than Kuzunomon, one of the evolved forms of Renamon and a subspecies of Sakuyamon!

However, what truly surprised Chen Ze was not the appearance of the Kuzu-yakatsu, but its strength.

According to the official Digimon Encyclopedia, this Digimon, which resembles a battle priestess, is a genuine Ultimate-level Digimon.

"Do you know 'her'?"

Slightly surprised, Dr. Yamazaki glanced at Chen Ze, not expecting that the mysterious boy in her eyes could so easily identify the Digimon.

"Ultimate forms are not common in EDEN; I just happen to know some of them."

Without confirming or denying, Chen Ze simply stared thoughtfully at the heavily injured and unconscious Ge Ye Beast, and continued to ask with some uncertainty.

"You're planning to save 'her'?"

Chen Ze wasn't stupid. When Dr. Yamazaki approached the Kuzunoboru, he realized that the Kuzunoboru might be trying to save it.

"Aren't you afraid that she, like those two Digimon upstairs, is a dangerous individual harboring hostility towards humans?"

From a human perspective, Chen Ze actually agrees with what the executive director said earlier.

Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. To be able to save an unidentified Digimon when you are already struggling to take care of yourself is a problem that no ordinary person would accept.

The problem now is that, regardless of his past life or this one, Chen Ze's understanding and attitude towards Digimon tends to be neutral or even friendly.

Not to mention, the Kuzu-no-Yamon in front of him is the evolved form of Renamon, and the form that Renamon X might evolve into in the future.

Based on this alone, Chen Ze had a natural affinity for this Geye Beast.

Chen Ze's only confusion now is why Dr. Yamazaki, who is lazy to the point of being somewhat irresponsible, would suddenly have the idea of ​​saving a plain-looking, masked beast.

“I’m different from that guy. In my eyes, life is only divided into ‘patient’ and ‘non-patient’.”

Chapter 43 This is a world that judges by appearance

“I’m different from that guy. In my eyes, life is only divided into ‘patient’ and ‘non-patient’.”

After witnessing Dr. Yamazaki's somewhat unserious side, Chen Ze simply couldn't reconcile that lazy, casual guy with the doctor in front of him whose eyes were sparkling.

In Chen Ze's memory, although Dr. Yamazaki was called a "rare genius" by Suedo Akemi, he mostly acted like an idle playboy.

His lazy personality makes it really hard to associate him with the consistently steady and calm professional doctor.

"Is that all?"

Chen Ze didn't believe that Dr. Yamazaki was unaware of what it meant to treat a Digimon of unknown identity.

Even Chen Ze, who has a natural affinity for the Kuzunoboru, would find it difficult to choose to save people as decisively as Dr. Yamazaki when he is unsure whether the other party is friend or foe.

"If I had to find a reason, it would probably be because 'she' is very beautiful!"

With a carefree smile, Dr. Yamazaki looked at Chen Ze, who was full of question marks, and finally gave an answer that was more in line with his personality.

"It would be such a pity if such a beauty died in this dark and remote corner."

At this point, as if to confirm his statement, Dr. Yamazaki suddenly picked up the still seriously injured and unconscious Kuzuno-no-mon.

“To stand by and watch someone die goes against my principles, especially when the person I am trying to save is a beautiful woman.”

Dr. Yamazaki said, seemingly unconcerned about the beast suddenly waking up and attacking him, as he held the broken sternum of the Kuzunobo in a "princess carry".

"I need to go back. The only place with complete and usable surgical equipment is on the fifth floor."

"You can leave here now! I'll send you the rest of the data and information online."

With that, Dr. Yamazaki turned and walked back up the stairs to the fifth floor without looking back.

......................................................................................................

"But at this crucial moment, he's acting like a hero..."

Watching Dr. Yamazaki's figure gradually disappear at the end of the emergency exit, Chen Ze, who had been somewhat conflicted, felt relieved.

According to Chen Ze's original plan, he intended to leave the hospital with Dr. Yamazaki first, and then find an opportunity to see if he could stop the battle between the two Digimon.

If all else fails, Chen Ze will have to secretly leak what happened here to Takumi, so that the one who is suspected to be the "protagonist" can handle this unexpected incident.

However, the appearance of the Kuzunoboru and Dr. Yamazaki's actions made Chen Ze realize that while secretly resolving the incident might be an option, it was by no means the best one.

The animosity between humans and Digimon was already large enough; if the effects of this battle were allowed to continue, the relationship between the two would become completely antagonistic.

Chen Ze is neither an extreme racist nor a saint with a heart for the world; he is just an ordinary person.

Within his own power, Chen Ze did not want the relationship between humans and Digimon to continue to deteriorate, because that would only make it increasingly difficult for Digimon to move forward in the human world.

Even if it's just to allow Renamon X to appear openly one day and stop this battle that could potentially ignite the relationship between humans and the Digital World, I would do it without hesitation.

[If possible, resolving this conflict in the form of Digimon before the military arrives would be the best option.]

At the very least, the entire human world needs to know that not all Digimon came to the human world with malicious intent.

Chen Ze knew in his heart that his current thoughts were extremely rebellious, and in a way, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them "anti-human."

However, he also knew that if a large-scale war broke out between Digimon and humans, it would be a tragedy for both sides.

Especially with SwordEmperormon lurking behind the scenes, it's hard to say how much of the chaos in Tokyo these past few days was deliberately instigated by it to provoke a war between humans and Digimon.

"I'm just asking for trouble."

With a helpless sigh, Chen Ze felt that he must have been influenced by Dr. Yamazaki, otherwise why would he have voluntarily violated his own "Hacker Survival Rules"?

Knowing full well that the two Digimon fighting possess power surpassing that of an Ultimate-level Digimon, yet still intending to stop them—what else could this be but courting death?

......................................................................................................

Meanwhile, in a ward on the fifth floor of the dilapidated Central Hospital.

"We can't let them continue to cause this destruction!"

Under Astaroth's protection, Keisuke was not seriously affected except for some slight difficulty breathing.

However, those patients who are still receiving treatment in the wards are not so lucky, because the vast majority of patients who are sent to the Central Hospital are related to "EDEN syndrome".

Therefore, apart from a few special patients such as Keiji, Chen Ze, and Erika, most patients are in a coma.

In addition, it was late at night, and more than 90 percent of the patients were buried by the collapsed walls and beams without knowing anything.

Even those few who were awakened by the sounds of battle could not escape the fate of becoming the "blood vials" of the Matador Beast.

“Those are Matadormon and Arkadimon. We don’t have the power to stop them.”

As a Perfect form evolved from IceDevimon, which has brought the power of demons to its extreme, Astarmon naturally knows what the existence of Matadormon and Arkadimon means.

The former is the "degenerate form" of the legendary vampire lord who rules the entire Dark Core region, possessing terrifying power unimaginable to ordinary people.

Furthermore, there are rumors that He possesses a secret powerful enough to destroy the world, which is why He was suppressed and sealed there by the World Tree.

The latter goes without saying; as the only being in the Digital World qualified to be called an "evil god," Arkadimon itself is a symbol of natural disaster.

It can be said that even compared to the infamous "Seven Demon Lords", these two Digimon with terrifying origins are no less formidable.

"Are you lacking confidence in your own abilities?"

"I know and trust my partner very well," Keisuke asked in a solemn voice.

"Or do you think I'm useless as your partner and can't help you win?"

Upon hearing this, Astarmon fell silent.

Yes, Matadormon and Arkadimon are indeed terrifying Digimon, and Astarmon, known as the "Dark Prince," is no less formidable.

Chapter Forty-Four: The God of Forging and Craftsmen

Astarmon's not-so-long evolutionary journey has been filled with countless battles and adventures, as well as numerous setbacks and frustrations.

Especially after its twin brother, FlareAngemon, perished, it realized that the power of Digimon has its limits.

As a result, IceDevimon, which was already intentionally suppressing its own power and pursuing a higher level of evolution, began to reveal its crazy nature and terrifying talent.

Therefore, in less than half a year, IceDevimon ventured into several dangerous areas in the lower space of EDEN, intending to find an opportunity to evolve to a higher level.

Persistence pays off. Despite facing numerous dangers and near-death experiences, the Ice Demon Beast finally found its opportunity to evolve in a dark, lower dimension.

That was a powerful weapon left behind in the EDEN network by Vulcanus, one of the legendary "Twelve Gods" and the god of craftsmen.

Vulcanus, the god of craftsmen, is a renowned humanoid ultimate being in the Digital World, famous for forging various divine artifacts.

In particular, the story of him forging weapons for Beelzemon, one of the "Seven Demon Lords," has become a lasting legend in the Digital World.

It is said that the original Vulcanus was unwilling to forge artifacts for Beelzemon.

This is not only because of the identity of the Fallen Hell Beast "Gluttonous Demon King", but also because He can believe that the demon king who wreaks havoc on the human world does not cherish his weapons at all, but only uses them as simple tools.

It wasn't until Vulcanusmon and Beelzemon's first meeting that He realized He was wrong, and quite wrong at that.

Even among the "Seven Demon Kings," there are those who are as heroic and aloof as the gods.

Despite its identity as the "Gluttonous Demon King," Beelzemon is actually a solitary and arrogant warrior, making it a perfect match for Vulcanusmon, who is also known for its boldness.

Of course, there are also rumors that the Fallen Hell Beast blocked the gate with its formidable strength.

After blocking the Vulcanus beast for several years, they finally forced it to sign a humiliating treaty and tailor-make the strongest artifact for it.

In short, no matter what the process was, the result was surprisingly consistent: the Fallen Hell Beast obtained the two great weapons that made it invincible on countless battlefields.

One of these is the two shotguns called Berenjena in Beelzemon's hands, which possess terrifying power enough to destroy an ordinary Ultimate-level monster with a single shot.

The second is Behemoth, a giant motorcycle possessing its own will, which has been corrupted by the power of the Fallen Beast.

With the aid of these two terrifying weapons, even within the powerful "Seven Demon Kings" boss team, Fallen Hellbeast is considered one of the most formidable characters.

Okay, enough of that, let's get back to the main topic.

The powerful weapon that IceDevilmon obtained from that dark area was the machine gun Oro Salmón, created by Vulcanusmon to compete with Eggplant (Berenjena).

Guided by this weapon, Glavymon unleashed all its accumulated potential and successfully evolved into the "Dark Prince"—Astarmon—whose Ultimate form surpasses even the Mega level.

As Astarmon's partner, Keisuke was well aware of his own strength as a partner, and he was not much inferior to even a god of evil like Arkadimon.

"We must stop those two Digimon from harming more people."

Keisuke is selfish by nature, but even selfish as he is, he cannot stand by and watch so many victims be affected and killed by the battle between Arkadimon and Matadormon.

Especially if one has the ability to stop them, letting them continue only shows that the person has strong antisocial and antihuman tendencies.

Keiji is selfish, but not to the point of "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me".

“Since that incident, you have become less and less like the person you used to be.”
