Digital Hackers' Memories

It was precisely in those already initialized Corruptors that Jade Rabbit Beast sensed the will of Priest Beast X.

Help me stop WarGreymon; don't let him get here.

Slowly turning around, Jade Rabbit looked at WarGreymon, who knew nothing about all this, and the indifference in its eyes was quickly replaced by determination.

The Jade Rabbit was not unaware that its actions were tantamount to "betrayal" in the eyes of outsiders.

It was simply that, faced with the choice between world destruction and betraying Renamon, it chose to restore the Digital World to its original state.

Especially now that the World Tree has been initially restarted and the mother will of the Invaders has been dismantled, even without Priestmon X's instructions, it would be impossible for it to send WarGreymon to the core of the World Tree.

At present, the world tree and the invaders are in a delicate balance, and the arrival of WarGreymon is very likely to break this delicate balance.

“If you think this is stopping you, then I am indeed stopping you.”

Just like before, Jade Rabbit Beast made no excuses for its actions. It followed its own heart and was determined to keep WarGreymon out of the core of Yggdrasil.

Silence!

In the blink of an eye, Jade Rabbit's figure vanished like a ghostly phantom, only to reappear in front of WarGreymon in the next second.

boom!

With a loud bang, WarGreymon, who was prepared, easily blocked the palm strike aimed at its throat.

However, the Jade Rabbit Beast, having trained itself to the extreme, was clearly not going to stop so easily. That fatal blow was just the beginning; the subsequent series of fierce attacks was its true offensive.

boom! boom! boom!

Transform palm into fist, fist into fingers, alternating elbows and knees, and striking with both hands simultaneously...

Far more skilled than any human martial arts master, the Jade Rabbit Beast, by circulating its "qi" throughout its body, managed to unleash a combo of over a hundred moves in less than a breath.

Move after move, punch after punch...

The Jade Rabbit's relentless, storm-like combos have become its "signature" and the most distinctive manifestation of its fighting style.

Under such a rapid attack, even WarGreymon, which possesses outstanding combat talent and is proficient in various fighting techniques, was immediately at a disadvantage and had to retreat several steps before it could barely stop its retreat.

Chapter 7 The Strongest WarGreymon Ever

[Such a fast attack speed!]

WarGreymon has always been the one challenging others beyond its level; this is the first time it has faced a challenge from someone of a higher level.

However, even a powerful Digimon like WarGreymon had to admit that, in terms of combat skills alone, Jade Rabbitmon was indeed the "number one" among all the Digimon it had ever encountered.

Even Andromon, the strongest artificial warrior created by the Steel Empire, wouldn't be much stronger than Jade Rabbitmon in terms of pure fighting skills.

Andromon excels at killing techniques, aiming to deliver fatal blows and end the battle in the shortest possible time.

The Jade Rabbit Beast excels in combat skills, aiming to maximize its damage to enemies while protecting itself, thus escaping unscathed from battle.

boom! boom! boom!

One move after another, one punch after another, seemingly endless and never-ending.

The momentum generated after each attack is transformed into the power for the next combo by the Jade Rabbit Beast's superb fighting skills.

Just like the surging, continuous waves, the power of the waves crashing against the shore is always building upon the previous waves, and as long as the waves keep going, the tide will never stop.

So, it's possible to fight in this way?

While repeatedly parrying attacks from Jade Rabbit Beast, WarGreymon was naturally not idle either.

By observing its opponent's fighting techniques, WarGreymon immediately thought of the "turbocharged engine" used in the automotive industry.

The so-called "turbocharged engine" actually uses exhaust gas to drive impellers, increasing the engine's air intake to achieve greater power and torque.

In theory, every combustion in a turbocharged engine produces exhaust gases, which then drive the fan blades, making the next combustion in the engine even more intense.

Without a doubt, the Jade Rabbit used a similar technique, applying the momentum it had built up in its previous attacks to its next attack.

In this situation, the Jade Rabbit only needs to use a tiny amount of power to control and maintain the balance of this power, and it can accumulate terrifying power far exceeding its own limits in a short period of time.

[A very powerful, but also very dangerous, technique.]

Like a rapidly spinning electric fan that keeps spinning faster and faster, if the "main trunk" that maintains the balance has even the slightest quality problem, the fan will be destroyed and people will die.

From WarGreymon's perspective, as long as it, as the target of the attack, maintains a certain level of strength, it will not be completely defeated by Jade Rabbitmon.

In a short time, the Jade Rabbit Beast itself will collapse first because it cannot withstand this fighting style that is similar to "Heavenly Demon Disintegration".

It is obvious that no matter how much Jade Rabbit Beast increases its attack power, it will never be able to reach the upper limit of WarGreymon, which has already surpassed the level of a typical Ultimate-level monster.

However, how could the Jade Rabbit Beast, as the primary target, not be aware of its own disadvantages?

The gap between Ultimate and Mega levels is so great that even if Jade Rabbit Beast tries its best, it can only reach the lower limit of WarGreymon.

In this situation, the Jade Rabbit chose this risky tactic simply to buy time.

As long as WarGreymon intends to conserve its fighting power to deal with Skullmon, it would never choose to risk a head-on confrontation in order to quickly defeat itself.

Of course, if the fighting Greymon really intended to fight her head-on, Jade Rabbitmon was actually looking forward to it.

Besides the pride of a warrior, which makes Jade Rabbit Beast look forward to a full-scale battle with WarGreymon.

Another important reason is that once WarGreymon goes all out, it is absolutely impossible for it to escape unscathed without any losses. This is Jade Rabbit's confidence in itself.

Are you planning to stall for time?

WarGreymon saw through Jade Rabbit's thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Just as Jade Rabbit had imagined, after a series of battles, even WarGreymon, born for battle, had reached a certain critical point in its stamina.

Starting in the real world, WarGreymon swiftly killed Dynasmon, and then broke through Examon's defenses with all its might.

After arriving in the Digital World, WarGreymon immediately engaged in fierce battles with Mostimon, the Chaos Demon, and the five Ultimate Digimon, four of the five bosses.

Not to mention that after climbing Mount Infinity, WarGreymon also destroyed dozens of Terminal 7D6s and demolished a large part of the Void Arena.

It can be said that even the strongest WarGreymon in history was close to its physical limit.

If they continue to fight Jade Rabbitmon, even if WarGreymon wins the battle in the end, it will be impossible for it to face Skullmon in its prime.

After all, WarGreymon isn't one of the five main characters in Saint Seiya, who can revive on the spot with full health and mana just by relying on their beliefs.

Without knowing exactly what happened inside the World Tree, WarGreymon must prepare for the worst.

"Unfortunately, your opponent is not me."

Seeing this, WarGreymon, who originally wanted to keep some trump cards, decisively withdrew and left Jade Rabbitmon's attack range.

"Leave the fighting here to me!"

To the astonishment of Jade Rabbit and Skull Bone, a Digimon that combined Dragon and Insect type characteristics suddenly split off from WarGreymon's body.

—Artificial Digital Core: Mechadramon!

boom! boom! boom!

Pu Yi immediately displayed a wild and brutal offensive stance upon his appearance...

The Mech Dragon Beast unleashed punches, elbows, knee strikes, and flying kicks with near-phantom speed, displaying a fighting style completely different from that of the Jade Rabbit Beast.

Berserk, rage, and more rage...

The MechDragon Beast, which unleashed its most primal bestial instincts and whose every part of its body was a "weapon of mass destruction," quickly took over the battle, almost causing the Jade Rabbit Beast, which was caught off guard, to lose control of its Storm Combo.

Although the scene was not quite what the Jade Rabbit had imagined, the Mech Dragon Beast did indeed engage in a head-on confrontation with it in its most powerful and fierce manner.

boom! boom! boom!

Between each punch, the raging wind of the fists transformed into the sharpest blades.

Even just standing next to Jade Rabbitmon and Armored Dragonmon, WarGreymon could feel the screeching sound of its Digizoid armor.

This is not an illusion, but a brutality that is visible to the naked eye.

The ferocious barrage of attacks, like a storm, completely redefined the ordinary person's understanding of the concept of "combat".

In a normal material world, these two Digimon, which have surpassed the limits of the typical Perfect level, could destroy an entire city block with the mere aftershocks of their battle.

Even so, the ferocious mecha dragon beast and the agile and brave jade rabbit beast still managed to create an absolute no-go zone around their three-foot combat range.

Within this small space, everyone is an enemy!

Within arm's reach, I am invincible!

*******

PS: I definitely feel more comfortable writing about scenes like "martial arts".

Other combat styles are too unrealistic and abstract, making them difficult to write and lacking the same exciting feel.

Chapter Eight: The Chosen One

"And now? Is it still my opponent?"

Ignoring the fierce battle between Armored Dragonmon and Jade Rabbitmon, WarGreymon strolled towards Skullmon, only stopping when it was only two or three meters away from its opponent.

"..."

Silence. Only a deathly silence answered WarGreymon.

Skullmon never expected that WarGreymon could split into two, and that it could even create a new form called Armordramon with a fighting style completely different from its own.

What Skullmon didn't expect was that Phantommon, which wasn't particularly outstanding among the Ultimate-level monsters, was actually able to hold its own against a top-tier Ultimate-level monster like Jademon.

Its strength and attributes, far exceeding those of its kind, are exactly like the white WarGreymon in front of us.

"The Chosen One?"

After a long silence, the skull beast finally spoke.

In its memory, this kind of alien species, which possesses strength far exceeding that of other Digimon of the same type, has also appeared in the Digital World.

The two individuals that combine to form Omegamon, known as "born warriors" WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, both belong to this type of individual.

They naturally possess the highest base stats among their type of digital creatures, making it easier for them to break through the ceiling that limits their individual potential.

If it were a game of the same genre, these "chosen ones" would have their growth stats pre-set from the moment they were born, destined to become "chosen ones."

"Actually, you might be more appropriate to use the word 'protagonist'."

Upon hearing Skullmon's words, WarGreymon was initially taken aback, but then realized what it was talking about.

Indeed, compared to ordinary Digimon, both their own Digicores and those artificial Digicores possess strength that surpasses that of ordinary Digimon.

In fact, all of this was thanks to the "cheat code" that Chen Ze initially obtained from Guangqiu.

Thanks to the optimization of Pure Code, each of WarGreymon's Digicores can easily break through the limits of Perfect level, and even evolving into Ultimate level is not difficult.

This extraordinary phenomenon of breaking through evolutionary barriers and optimizing one's own attributes to the extreme is the light in the hearts of the chosen children and the natural bond between humans and Digimon.

As the destined partners of the chosen children, the chosen Digimon are indeed the undisputed "protagonists".

"main character?"

Skullmon didn't pay attention to WarGreymon's choice of words, but instead murmured thoughtfully.

"Indeed, whenever the world faces a crisis, there are always Digimon that step forward."

"We usually call such Digimon 'the chosen one,' 'the savior,' or what you call 'the protagonist.'"

"Especially since this crisis involves two worlds, there will naturally be 'beings' that are chosen by both worlds at the same time."

At this point, the skull beast paused slightly before continuing in a slow and deliberate tone.

"What I didn't expect was that, besides those five children, there were actually other 'chosen ones'."

During their previous journey to the real world, the Skull Beast discovered Takumi's "Data Body".

That kind of "miracle" that lies between data and matter is absolutely something that no human can create.

Furthermore, Takumi and his friends were drawn into the incident, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Skull Beast realized that they were the "key" to resolving the crisis and the "saviors" with a status equivalent to the thirteen royal knights.

What Skullmon never expected was that, besides the five children who had entered the Digital World, WarGreymon, chosen by the "Ytsubo Backup," also seemed to have the potential to become the "savior."

"..."

Actually, WarGreymon really wants to say that Skullmon is overthinking things; it is not the so-called "chosen one."

I am just a transmigrator, an unfortunate transmigrator who was conscripted by constancy and stole the "protagonist halo" from Meimei in another world.

However, considering that this might expose his human identity, WarGreymon did not continue the conversation and instead asked the same question again.

"Could you please move aside? I don't have time to chat with you right now."
