Digital Hackers' Memories

To this day, the building is staffed 24/7, and satellites in the sky broadcast live footage from the rooftop.

The dragon emperor, residing on the rooftop of the Odaiba Building and resembling a giant spirit, has become a "myth" that has descended into reality among the upper echelons of the human world.

To prevent the dragon from bringing disaster to the human world, space-based weapons and long-range missiles from various countries have been targeted at this area. If the dragon goes berserk even slightly, the Odaiba area will be subjected to saturation bombardment.

Therefore, when Behemoth, piloted by Behemoth, arrived near Odaiba, what he saw were the yellow lines that had been raised, and the armored troops guarding the area around the yellow lines.

"Examon's treatment is simply amazing..."

With a quick glance, the Fallen Hell Beast discovered that there were no fewer than a dozen specialized special operations teams hidden on both sides of the path leading to Odaiba.

Having encountered such combat units in the sinkhole of Shinjuku subway station, Beelzemon was very familiar with the combat capabilities of these special forces.

It is no exaggeration to say that any one of these special units has the combat capability to hunt down a fully-fledged creature on its own.

"As expected of one of the Royal Knights' top combat forces, this treatment is something that ordinary people can't enjoy."

Beelzemon didn't believe that the military would treat a mere "individual" life with such exaggerated treatment if the humans hadn't engaged in a direct battle with Examon.

It can only be said that after witnessing the Examon's fall, the humans must have considered taking the opportunity to kill it.

However, Examon's strength was simply too terrifying. Even with its strength greatly diminished, it still forced the humans to admit that the Odaiba area had become its sphere of influence.

"The problem now is, how do I get in?"

Looking around again, the Fallen Hellbeast noticed that the previously dormant combat squads seemed to have also sensed its presence and were gradually surrounding it.

Not wanting to engage in a major fight, the Fallen Hell Beast, after a few seconds of thought, decisively chose to force its way in.

hold head high!

The Fallen Hell Beast slammed the accelerator to the floor, and Behemoth instantly let out a roar like that of a hellish dragon.

In an instant, the ear-piercing sonic boom, accompanied by afterimages, disappeared from the sight of all forces, leaving only a white barrier created by breaking the sound barrier that lingered for a long time.

Chapter Three: Pursuing the Truth

"Report to command: The 'Island Inhabited by Dragons' has been invaded by unidentified creatures!"

Realizing what had happened immediately, the human soldiers who observed the appearance of the Fallen Beast shouted into the microphone.

During the days that Odaiba was locked down, Beelzemon wasn't the first Digimon to try to break in, but it was certainly the most arrogant of them all.

He drove his motorcycle straight into Odaiba and succeeded!

Even though the unexpected effect of the Fallen Hell Beast was part of it, it still revealed the opponent's arrogance and conceit.

In the eyes of the special forces guarding the area, this Digimon that dared to force its way into Odaiba was close to being an Ultimate level Digimon, if not an Ultimate level one.

"Target matching the characteristics found, target code 'Dark Knight'!"

It didn't take long for the command center on the other end of the microphone to find the relevant information by scanning and analyzing the characteristics of the Fallen Hell Beast.

According to this information, Beelzemon was a Digimon that appeared in the "Kamiyo Central Hospital Incident" a week ago, and was also the final winner of that battle.

In that battle that affected a large part of Tokyo, a total of four powerful Digimon of "catastrophe level" appeared.

The first Matadormon to appear has been confirmed to have been destroyed, but the hacker who was behind it, or rather, controlled by Matadormon, has not yet been found.

Secondly, there's Arkadimon, which appeared alongside Matadormon and caused the "Dimensional Wall" to collapse further.

The humans are still unsure whether the Digimon with the power to tear through space and time is still alive. The only certainty is that even if it is still alive, it must be severely injured.

The third "disaster-level" Digimon is Astarmon.

Regarding the Digimon with a demonic appearance that tried its best to protect the humans at the Central Hospital from attack during the incident, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department stated that it has found the hacker who partnered with it and reached a certain level of cooperation with them.

The last "catastrophe-level" Digimon, Beelzemon, is the one with the least information available so far.

According to information provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the Digimon named Beelzemon is a true Ultimate level Digimon, and in the Digimon concept, it is an existence of the same level as the Dragon Emperor.

Just like Astarmon, Beelzemon seems to harbor some degree of goodwill towards humans.

Not only did it help humans defeat Arkadimon during the Central Hospital incident, but it also roamed around the city in the following days, sending those mischievous Digimon back to the EDEN Network.

Based on the hacking techniques used by Beelzemon in this process, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department speculates that it is likely a partner Digimon of a hacker, just like Astarmon.

In other words, Beelzemon, codenamed "Dark Knight," is neutral and leans towards humanity.

"Let the 'Dark Knight' in and see what he's planning to do."

After a long silence, an aged yet resolute voice came from the other end of the microphone.

"Received. Seventh and Thirteenth squads are cleared."

The soldiers' military instincts prevented them from questioning the command's orders, and they immediately issued clearance orders to the several squads guarding the Odaiba area.

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

hum!

The high-speed Behemoth broke through the military's multiple defenses in the blink of an eye and arrived near the core Odaiba Building.

The whole process was easier than Beelzemon had imagined, so easy that it was as if no one was nearby maintaining a vigil.

chi...

With a screeching sound of tires rubbing against the ground, the Fallen Hell Beast, having reached its destination, suddenly turned around and slid to the side, leaving a long tire track on the road.

"Nobody stopped me?"

It wasn't until Behemoth had slid a considerable distance on the ground that Behemoth regained its balance and looked around in bewilderment.

Originally, Beelzemon was prepared to force its way into Odaiba, but the result was surprisingly smooth.

Fortunately, the Fallen Hell Beast didn't think too much about it and got off the motorcycle, intending to walk towards the building.

"..."

However, just as the Fallen Beast had taken two steps, it seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back to Behemoth's side.

"Luckily I didn't forget this thing, otherwise it would be bad if it broke during the fight later."

After muttering something under his breath, Beelzemon carefully took out a palm-sized piece of chocolate from his pocket and placed it on Behemoth's vehicle.

Beelzemon doesn't like eating chocolate, or rather, eating chocolate or anything else makes no difference to him.

However, Renamon X has become obsessed with chocolate lately, especially this kind of highly concentrated chocolate that's so sweet it's cloying.

Since gaining a physical form, Renamon X has become obsessed with all kinds of candies, especially chocolate, which is considered the ultimate candy.

Therefore, these past few days, Beelzemon has made a point of visiting a candy store every time it goes out to buy a special chocolate for Renamon X.

Over time, this naturally became a habit.

Of course, whenever Beelzemon gives Renamon X chocolate, he never mentions that he rode Behemoth around on his own to buy the chocolate.

"Now I can rest assured."

Just thinking about the joyful expression on Renamon X's face when it saw the chocolate made Beelzemon smile faintly.

I don’t know when it started, but Renamon X has surpassed most people in Beelzemon’s heart.

A natural-born Rei-fox beast X...

The clueless Rei-Fox Beast X...

The cunning fox spirit X...

Rei-Foxmon X, obsessed with cooking and candy...

Even the fox spirit X, who was angry and furious because of his own actions...

Just the thought that Renamon X was waiting for him at home made Beelzemon feel that all the suffering he had endured outside was nothing.

I will definitely find the Sword Emperor Beast, and I will definitely find out your true identity.

Having made up his mind, the Fallen Hell Beast strode towards the elevator inside the building.

Finding a partner for Blackearmon is important, but that doesn't explain why Beelzemon has been racing cars in the Tokyo area for several nights in a row.

The reason why Beelzemon went to great lengths to search the entire Tokyo area, and even broke into Odaiba to confront Examon, was to find the mastermind behind the scenes, and to uncover the real reason why the mastermind was targeting Renamon X.

Whatever secrets you're hiding, I'll face them with you.

Chapter Four: The Dragon Emperor

As Beelzemon pressed the elevator button to the top floor, Examon, who was perched on the rooftop, seemed to sense something and suddenly raised its grotesque dragon head, which had been corroded beyond recognition.

Due to the influence of the Corruptor, black and white tentacles appeared on most parts of Examon's body.

The data from the Invaders continued to erode the body of the Examon, and some of the tentacles that were still alive would even twist and wriggle a few times, as if it were still a living creature.

Fortunately, Examon is the Royal Knight with the strongest will and the largest body in the Digital World. Those remaining Corruptors are tightly bound within its body, unable to break free from its control and gain true freedom.

Otherwise, what Odaiba needs to contain right now wouldn't be a single, motionless Dragon Emperor, but thousands of Invaders.

Even so, controlling those invaders who try to erode him within his body is already the limit for Examon.

After all, while Examon possesses amazing stamina, it is impossible for it to maintain its peak condition after a series of battles.

Once Examon runs out of energy, those Invaders who were previously tightly restrained by it will likely break free and become the vanguard of the Invaders' invasion of the human world.

Worse still, after absorbing and devouring the data of Examon, it remains to be seen what terrifying forms some of the invaders will evolve into.

Therefore, when Examon sensed that a Digimon was approaching, he felt both surprise and worry.

The surprise is that if the visitors are members of the Royal Knights, then Examon might be able to use their power to escape the Invaders' corruption.

Although this was not in line with Examon's usual style, at this critical moment of life and death, Examon was not as willful as one might expect.

However, this is also what Examon is worried about.

As the Royal Knights' top combatant and also the member who went berserk the most, Examon has never had any particularly good interpersonal relationships within the Royal Knights.

Or to put it another way, the various Ultimate forms, who were chosen by the World Tree to be Royal Knights because of their respective sense of justice, inherently have irreconcilable conflicts of belief among themselves.

At this moment, it's hard to say what each of the Royal Knights who chose to come to Odaiba was thinking.

A better option might be to persuade Examon, whose stance is unclear, to join their team.

A less desirable scenario would be to seize the opportunity to control Examon and use it as the vanguard of their forces.

"Who could be appearing at this time?"

It is a destruction faction led by Fragrant Beast and Sword Emperor Beast, who are determined to destroy the human world.

Or is it the Redemption Faction, led by Omegamon and Gallantmon, searching for a way for the two worlds to coexist?

Regardless of who the visitor is, Examon is fully prepared.

"Save the world? Do they all really think they're the saviors?"

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

When the Fallen Hell Beast arrived on the rooftop as the elevator doors opened, what it saw was a giant crimson dragon with its head held high, coiled on the roof.

"They weren't Royal Knights after all. It seems they're more cautious than I thought."

With a ferocious smile playing on its lips, the disfigured Examon sighed in a tone that defies easy comprehension.

"So what brings you here, you 'unknown' Fallen Hell Beast?"

Examon emphasized the pronunciation of the three words "unknown," and looking at the calm Beelzemon, he seemed to recall the legendary "Gluttony Demon King."

Contrary to the common perception that "the Royal Knights and the Seven Demon Lords are irreconcilable enemies."

As an extreme violent member of the Royal Knights and an entity that has caused numerous crises in the Digital World, Examon and the Seven Great Lords actually share a subtle understanding.

Especially for Beelzemon, who is equally arrogant and conceited, it is difficult to stop the admiration and longing between the two Digimon, even though they are in two completely different camps.

Therefore, Examon was quite certain that the Beelzemon that appeared in front of him was not the legendary "Gluttony Demon King", but just a Digimon that had followed the same evolution path.

"As you can see, I am just an ordinary Fallen Hell Beast."

Without denying Examon's words, Beelzemon's voice remained calm, as if he were facing not a Dragon Emperor capable of destroying the world single-handedly, but merely an ordinary Digimon.

"A Fallen Hell Beast that has some experience in dealing with Corruptors..."

Upon hearing this, the Examon, which had been lying prone on the ground, suddenly straightened its upper body, and its eerie and terrifying black and white tentacles began to twist and writhe.

"Can you help me get rid of these annoying invaders?"

It wasn't that Examon didn't believe what Fallen Hell said; it was just that what it said was too astonishing.

The original invaders are not actually difficult to deal with; any Digimon or hacker with a little combat power can handle them.

The real problem with the Invaders is their terrifying assimilation ability. Once anything is touched and corrupted by them, it becomes like a maggot clinging to a bone, making it difficult to escape their control.
