Digital Hackers' Memories

Moreover, compared to the "future" prophesied by Mostimon, Akemi Suedo, who uses Priestmon X's authority to enter the core of Yggdrasil, has more diverse possibilities.

After all, in the "future" seen by Mostimon, Midoriya used excessive data to directly crash them during the most intense conflict between the World Tree and the Invaders, which barely allowed him to gain some of their permissions.

This time, however, Suedo Akemi broke in through a "backdoor" created by the World Tree itself, directly creating a situation of separation of powers.

Worse still, in the "future" seen by Mostimon, Akemi Suedo, like all the main shonen manga bosses, was persuaded by Takumi and his friends to finally give up his plan to "build a perfect world".

Heaven knows whether Takumi and his group will be able to arrive in time in this space-time influenced by themselves and the fox spirit.

Even if they do arrive in time, it remains to be seen whether Suedo Akimi, with her higher authority and more diverse possibilities, will abandon her ideals.

"Isn't it just hacking and taking over permissions? I can do that too!"

With this in mind, the enraged WarGreymon did not hesitate to tear off that tentacle and "invade" the still evolving spore in a very hardcore way.

tear...

Starting from the gaping hole it had torn open, WarGreymon forced its body into the still-forming spore.

The next second, an overwhelming amount of information began to establish a strange connection between WarGreymon and the spore, and his body gradually blurred in the process until it disappeared completely.

Chapter Seventeen: A Perfect World

The World Tree is the mainframe of the Digital World, a high-level entity that records all the history and data of the Digital World.

It is because of the existence of the World Tree that the fragile Digital World has been able to recover from crises time and time again, gradually evolving into the prosperous world we see today.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the World Tree exists, it doesn't matter if the entire Digital World is destroyed.

Because the World Tree can completely recreate a new digital world, a more perfect digital world, from scratch based on the data it records.

The Digital Crisis that led to the birth of Alphamon was caused by Yggdrasil's plan to reshape the old world and create a new world that was more perfect in His mind.

The final result is self-evident: the Old World still exists as a parallel world to the Digital World, and traces of some Ancient Species and X-type Digimon still live within it.

However, this does not mean that the World Tree's abilities are flawed.

In fact, the existence of the X-virus, the X-antibody, and even the X-world only demonstrates that the digital world is powerful enough that it can defy the will of its own creator.

Therefore, the invaders who first descended upon the Digital World were incredibly lucky, as their first target to encounter and devour was the unsuspecting World Tree, which led to the current crisis.

Otherwise, given the World Tree's creative abilities, as long as it hasn't suffered any damage, whether or not to abandon the current Digital World would be a simple choice for it.

Of course, from another perspective, the invaders who descended near the World Tree were also quite unlucky.

If it hadn't encountered the World Tree immediately, given its evolutionary capabilities, it could have gradually devoured and absorbed everything in the Digital World, eventually evolving into an entity similar to the World Tree.

However, while the existence of the World Tree accelerated the evolution of the invaders, it also greatly limited their development.

Especially with the World Tree's all-out counterattack, the Invaders, who originally possessed the power to "destroy the world," found themselves in an extremely awkward situation.

In a sense, this is a war between two gods, two creators, and the Digital World has simply become the unfortunate battlefield of their war.

If nothing unexpected happens, this situation will always end with the complete annihilation of one side, and the survivor will gain the true authority of the "creator" and once again reign supreme over all living beings and things.

However, the reason why an accident is an accident is precisely because it comes so unexpectedly.

Unaware of the true nature of this war, an ordinary human from another world—Akimi Suedo—sharply perceived its true nature.

Thus, Akemi Suedo, who was still in the human world at the time, began to silently guide Yggdrasil's clone, Renamon, until the clone noticed its own abnormality and took the initiative to go to the Digital World to seek the truth of everything.

Using Renamon's identity and authority, Akemi Suedo successfully infiltrated the core of the World Tree, and used this opportunity to become a third-party force capable of influencing the war.

"So, in the end, you still managed to outsmart the fox spirit?"

Standing silently in this endless void shrouded in blazing white light, WarGreymon turned back to look at Akemi Suedo, who had reappeared before him in human form.

Just like when he encountered Suedo Akemi in the human world, he was still wearing that bizarre combination of a black coat and a purple scarf, and his whole being was filled with a sense of madness.

"No, those were all the fox beast's own choices!"

Under normal circumstances, as long as Priest Beast X is willing to relinquish its authority and identity, Modo Akira has no need to devour it.

Because all that Suedo Akemi wanted from beginning to end was the World Tree, and the power to reshape the world.

Perhaps after the deed is done, Suedo Akemi, wanting to get rid of the Invaders' entanglement, will make the same choice as Yggdrasil—to enhance his firewall by obtaining the X Antibody from the Priest Beast X.

However, under those circumstances, Suedang Ming was genuinely interested in cooperating with Priest Beast X, and he even took the initiative to explain his entire plan.

"It was Renamon who chose to help Yggdrasil at the last moment, and all I did was use the Infiltrator's code to completely make her a part of me."

Sanada Arata had already done something similar before: assimilating Digimon by obtaining code from the Infiltrators and thus acquiring all of their data.

Moreover, compared to Gallantmon and Aromamon, the mere Ultimate-level Priestmon X was utterly powerless to resist Akemi Suedo's sudden outburst.

"If anyone's to blame, it's the fox spirit for going back on its word!"

Without a trace of apology in his words, Suedo Akemi spoke as if he were discussing what to eat that day, using a calm and almost contemptuous tone that instantly enraged WarGreymon.

"You crazy person!"

Suddenly taking a big step forward, ripples appeared behind WarGreymon.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, giant cannons with calibers of tens of meters appeared like black holes, directly aimed at Suedo Akizami not far away.

—Data Simulation: Infinite Cannon!

In this non-real world, WarGreymon can recreate weapons he has seen before by directly manipulating code, including the Infinity Cannon from Mugendramon that he stole from the original world.

"So you really are Chen Ze, that human hacker."

Without showing any fear on his face, Akemi Suedo simply stared blankly at WarGreymon.

"You should know what it means for you to stop me now, right?"

"Whether it is the World Tree or the Erodes, if either of them wins, only destruction awaits humanity."

What Suedo Akemi said was true. Yggdrasil is the ruler of the Digital World, but now it intends to descend upon the human world. Its impact on the human world will definitely be more harmful than beneficial.

As for the Invaders, needless to say, those higher-dimensional monsters greedily devour everything they come into contact with until they are completely destroyed.

"But I'm different. I just want to build a perfect world, a world where both humans and Digimon can live."

"Your parents, family, teachers, classmates, and even your enemies will all live on, living perfectly in the world I created."

With an excited and manic tone, Akemi Suedo seemed completely immersed in the world she was creating, and didn't notice the change in WarGreymon's expression at all.

"Sorry, that's why I'm here."

A ferocious smile curled at the corners of his mouth. WarGreymon, head held high and chest puffed out, suppressed his anger and spoke in a cold tone.

"I do not accept the known 'future,' nor do I accept the 'future' where the fox spirits do not exist."

Chapter Eighteen: Ascending to Higher Dimensions

The World Tree will dominate the future of the human world...

The invaders are destroying the future of two worlds...

Akimi Suedo promotes a future where two worlds merge...

Even Takumi and the others appeared at the last moment, erasing all the past and future events of the past eight years in the real world...

Each of these possible futures is possible, but none of them are outcomes that WarGreymon can accept.

Even if the consequences are relatively minimal, the "world line reset" ending, in which the Kamishiro Group has never conducted any "β experiment" and the Digital World and the Human World have never intersected, is still unacceptable to WarGreymon.

The original Renamon was created because the World Tree was invaded by invaders, so a small backup program had to be created and sent to another human world in another dimension to grow.

It could be said that if the timeline were reset, Renamon would not have appeared in the real world, or even had a reason to be born.

WarGreymon didn't understand the principle behind this "reset of world lines" or whether it would affect the current Digital World, but he clearly couldn't accept such an ending.

Especially given that Renamon may have already been devoured by Meiji Suedo, restoring the two worlds to a state where they have never been in contact can only fundamentally negate the reason for Renamon's birth.

Therefore, WarGreymon must create a new future beyond the "future" observed by Mostimon.

In that future, the invaders will be destroyed, the World Tree will return to normal, and Renamon will still exist, which is undoubtedly a huge problem.

To be honest, if WarGreymon hadn't learned about the possibility of "resetting the world line" from Mostimon, it's likely that WarGreymon would have gone completely berserk after learning about what Akemi Suedo had done.

Even so, WarGreymon in its enraged state displayed unprecedented power.

boom! boom! boom!

The relentless bombardment shattered the tranquility of this blazing white space, and even the enormous World Tree outside broke through the so-called "domain of gods."

—The “Creator”, which was still in the process of being conceived, was prematurely activated due to the forced invasion of WarGreymon!

tumultuous!

As if a true deity had descended, the "deep well" in the Void Arena suddenly expanded infinitely, instantly encompassing the entire Void Arena.

But that wasn't all. When the World Tree, powerful enough to support heaven and earth, officially appeared in the Void Arena, its overwhelming pressure shattered the concept of "space," presenting itself in an unprecedented form to the entire digital world.

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

"world Tree?"

The skull beast standing on the tree trunk of the World Tree suddenly opened its eyes wide.

Because it discovered that in that very instant, the void arena in its eyes had transformed into a two-dimensional form, almost like a flat plane.

As the culprit behind all these changes, the enormous World Tree seemed to be an "ascended being" that transcended the two-dimensional plane, and even the skull beasts on its branches witnessed this astonishing scene.

"what happened?"

Watching helplessly as the colossal World Tree shattered the concept of space and broke through the limitations of dimensions, the Skull Beast, a dignified royal knight, was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

The scene before them was far beyond the comprehension of living beings; it could be described as a "dimensional ascension miracle" that defied the most basic rules of the world.

It feels like a character from a comic book suddenly stepping into reality. No matter how resilient a human is, they would inevitably show the same expression as the skull beast when faced with such a situation.

"The World Tree...is ascending to a higher dimension?"

The Invaders originally came from a higher dimension, and the World Tree itself is the supreme ruler of the Digital World...

When these two merge, it is only natural that a higher-dimensional being would be born.

Beyond the two dimensions that data can represent, and beyond the three dimensions that matter can reach, higher dimensions are more mysterious and more powerful existences.

The most obvious point is that the previously almost "taboo" concepts of time and space have been broken and have become entities that can be touched by higher dimensions.

An infinitely vast spatial distance, a leisurely and endless river of time...

A higher-dimensional being can easily turn to the page they want to read, and even the ending, just like flipping through a comic book.

Whether it's the beta experiment eight years ago, the current digital crisis, or even those world lines leading to countless futures...

If the World Tree so desires, it could do something far more outrageous than Mostimon, changing the future of this world from a higher dimension.

The premise is that the will currently controlling the "World Tree" wants to do so.

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

Meanwhile, on Mount Infinity in the Digital World.

After making official contact with the blue nun, Takumi and his group easily learned everything that had happened there from her.

From WarGreymon defeating the Fourth Commander and ascending to the Void Arena, to Gankomon rushing back from the real world and voluntarily entering the core of Yggdrasil.

Blue Sistermon told Alphamon and Omegamon almost everything she knew, including her speculation about WarGreymon's human identity.

"It's him?"

Takumi, who had met Chen Ze a few times before, gaped in disbelief.

He couldn't connect the invincible WarGreymon from the Blue Sistermon "story" with the white Flamemon he encountered at Shinjuku subway station.

"It's really him."

In contrast, Alphamon, who had been secretly observing Chen Ze and Renamon for some time, was not surprised by WarGreymon's identity.

On the contrary, after WarGreymon forcibly entered the Digital World, Alphamon realized that the other party was likely to become a "protagonist" like Takumi, capable of controlling the course of this crisis.

And indeed, this has been proven by the fact that WarGreymon's series of exaggerated achievements since arriving in the Digital World perfectly demonstrate its strength.

However, before Takumi and his group could recover from the information about the blue nun beast, the sudden collapse of the void arena on Mount Infinity caught their attention.

Especially the enormous World Tree that is "ascending to a higher dimension," even through the firewall of the digital world, one can clearly see it breaking through the concept of space and time and entering a higher dimension.

"The World Tree? It's evolving?"

Omegamon, who was most familiar with Yggdrasil, was the most shocked, as it was the first time it had ever seen Yggdrasil appear before everyone in this form.

Chapter Nineteen: Not to Die Barehanded

Just as the World Tree was attempting to achieve "dimensional ascension" in an incredible way, the stubborn beast that had broken into the core of the World Tree also traversed the endless corridors and arrived at this last passageway.
