Digital Hackers' Memories

That is the core of the invader, and also its vital organ for assimilating foreign data.

If Chen Ze hadn't intentionally reduced the final explosion radius, the Invaders probably wouldn't have been able to preserve even this last "one-eyed" weapon.

And now, lying prominently within this "one-eyed" eye is a small, bright yellow beast.

It was a round, chubby baby Digimon with a fluffy tail, and it was also the new form of Renamon after most of its data was absorbed and it was forced to regress—Kokomon.

"call!"

He seemed to have fallen into a coma, but it also seemed like he was simply sleeping.

After turning over, the little fox instinctively exhaled, and a bright yellow gas immediately spread inside the "one-eyed" creature.

Click...

Any substance that came into contact with this gas was turned into brittle stone, and then the completely petrified "one-eyed" object was smashed to the ground.

Compared to the Overload Impact of Chen Ze's Snowballmon and Agarodon era, the petrification ability he gained after degenerating into Migomon seems to be even more severe.

"Is this... regression?"

Without a second thought about whether this special petrification ability would harm him, Agumon walked straight into the pile of rubble and scooped out the sleeping little foxmon.

Chapter Fifty-Four: Welcome Back, Demon Fox Beast

An hour later, in a small digital space outside the EDEN free zone.

Chen Ze, who had transformed back into his black clothes, black robe, and black sunglasses, was holding the still-sleeping little fox beast, while Little Bick, who had transformed back into his "eyeball form," was constantly floating around him.

Standing opposite Chen Ze now is Keisuke, the "black market merchant" and "Digimon Hunter" from before.

"sorry."

At this moment, Keisuke stood on the shoulder of the now awakened and gigantic Ice Demon Beast, staring sadly at the crimson magatama in his hand.

That was the last trace of Angelmon in this world, and proof of Keisuke's failed attempt to revive it.

Even after consuming all the data remaining after Angelmon's death, Keisuke was ultimately unable to "resurrect" it, leaving only a crimson magatama symbolizing its existence.

Even so, it was only thanks to the timely awakening of the Ice Demon Beast that Keisuke's madness was stopped, thus preserving the last bit of data remnant.

"You should say that to Angelmon."

The deep voice revealed an unconcealable sadness. The Ice Demon Beast didn't know how to evaluate Keisuke's previous crazy actions. The only thing it was certain of was that it didn't completely agree with them.

"Keisuke, do you remember what I said?"

"It's not terrible for a person to be selfish; what's terrible is when all they have left is 'selfishness'."

For the sake of his utterly impossible "delusion," he destroyed all traces of FlareAngemon's existence, leaving IceDevimon speechless.

"I'm willing to take the gamble for that one in ten thousand chance."

Even if time were turned back an hour, Keisuke would not change his mind. He would only try his best to make up for the unexpected situations he was unaware of and do everything as perfectly as possible.

"So, this is the result of your 'gamble'."

Gently turning its head away, IceDevilmon didn't want anyone to see this "cowardly" side of itself, not even the host who raised it.

"Yes, I lost my bet."

Without offering any explanation for his actions, Keisuke remained silent for a moment before turning his gaze to Chen Ze, who was standing opposite him.

"Is fighting still unavoidable?"

Immediately showing a wary expression, Chen Ze handed the little fox beast in his hand to Little Bick beside him without any hesitation. Little Bick then transformed into a hemispherical cradle.

"fighting?"

The sadness in his eyes immediately disappeared, and Chen Ze could not discern any clue from Qi Jie's calm expression.

"Although the Invaders came for you, it was FlameAngemon's own choice to participate in the battle."

"I am not that cruel and unreasonable, nor do I intend to do anything disrespectful to Angelmon's 'friends'."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ze rolled his eyes thoughtfully, but deep down he didn't believe a word the other person said.

If the other party really didn't intend to take their anger out on them, they wouldn't have made Devimon, who had just awakened, grow to gigantic size and assume a fighting stance the moment they left the Digimon Black Market.

In fact, if Chen Ze hadn't appeared calm and composed, with plenty of energy to spare, this battle would probably have already broken out.

It was precisely because Chen Ze had suddenly evolved into a white flame beast and then regressed to a calm and collected demeanor that Keisuke and Ice Demon Beast, who couldn't figure out his true nature, didn't launch an attack.

"Then what are you planning to do by stopping me?"

Without breaking the unspoken understanding between the two, Chen Ze tentatively asked a question.

"Since you are a friend of Angelmon, then you are naturally our friend as well."

Before Keisuke could speak, IceDevimon turned around first and spoke in its distinctive deep voice.

"We just want to know what it has been doing and how it has been doing during the time it has been outside."

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

"They're just leaving like that? And they even gave me a server address that I can use as a relay?"

A moment later, Chen Ze looked at Keisuke and Ice Demon Beast as they left, his mind filled with questions.

Chen Ze, who was not familiar with Angelmon to begin with, naturally did not hide anything from the other party and simply repeated the whole story of how the two met.

They sell human information on the black market and seem to harbor some kind of malice towards humans, but they also don't have much affection for Digimon...

Under Keisuke and IceDevimon's persistent questioning, Chen Ze told them almost everything he knew about FlareAngemon.

It was at this moment that Chen Ze realized they knew almost less about Angelmon than he, a complete stranger.

Especially for IceDevimon, when it learns that its usually kind and cheerful brother is actually selling personal information.

He even spoke ill of his human partner, Leomon, and his incredulous expression was obvious even to an outsider like Chen Ze.

Clearly, since leaving Keisuke and IceDevimon, FlareAngemon, who has been venturing out on his own, has experienced a lot and his personality has undergone a huge change.

Having witnessed too much evil in the EDEN network, Angelmon, while not exactly becoming the kind of person he once hated, is no longer as innocent and kind as he once was.

"call!"

Just as Chen Ze was lost in thought, a cry from the little fox beast suddenly startled him awake.

"what?"

He couldn't help but turn around, and the first thing Chen Ze saw was the other person's angry face, looking like he was about to bare his teeth at any moment.

"Ha ha!"

Chen Ze, who was completely bewildered, was stunned for a moment, and then, as if he realized something, he showed a surprised and amused expression.

Because in the "cradle" that Little Bick transformed into, a pile of poop stood conspicuously in the center, clearly the "masterpiece" of Little Foxmon.

"So, after all that, you were woken up because you needed to pee?"

Suppressing his laughter, Chen Ze watched the little fox beast lower and lower in its crawling posture, its eyes narrowing more and more, and decisively put on a very serious and solemn look.

Although it was quite interesting to witness the elegant and composed fox spirit reveal such an embarrassed side, Chen Ze didn't want to have his face scratched by it.

"Give me Little Bick's access!"

As if realizing that its threat wouldn't solve the problem, the little fox beast hesitated for a while before finally speaking in its childlike voice.

"Also, erase this from your mind immediately! Eradicate it forever!"

The next moment, the little foxmon, having successfully gained access to Little Piccolo, turned around and swept its tail, completely transforming Little Piccolo into a closed sphere.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing this, Chen Ze, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but burst into laughter again, which made Little Piccolo, who had transformed into a ball, shake incessantly, as if he would crash into the other party at any moment.

However, the little fox beast hiding inside Little Bick didn't notice that Chen Ze outside was laughing and then shedding tears. A complex feeling of loss and recovery, relief and peace of mind, had replaced all his other emotions.

"Welcome back, Renamon."

At the end of the volume, Alphamon—Sister Alpha? Brother Alpha?

Just as Chen Ze and the fox spirit left the EDEN network and returned to China, the aftereffects of their series of actions today continued to unfold.

First, the hacker leader from before, after switching to a brand new device, reconnected to the EDEN network and entered the dark web black market, which was already in a mess.

First, it became a battlefield for the invaders and the fox-like beasts, and suffered battles far beyond its capacity to withstand.

Then, Chen Ze's actions attracted the arrival and interference of that inexplicable will, which greatly damaged the dark web, which already emphasized secrecy rather than stability.

The latter, in particular, has had a profound impact on the dark web that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

So when the hacker leader logged into the dark web, the first thing he saw was the fragmented pixels and mosaics that had lost their original form.

Especially in the core areas of the main battlefield, the emergence of that inexplicable will has led to an unprecedented erosion and assimilation.

"What... happened here?!"

The hacker leader, who hadn't witnessed the final scene, suddenly widened his eyes, a hint of fear unconsciously showing in them.

Even YUGO, the most powerful hacker in the hacker leader's mind, might not have the ability to destroy this digital space like this.

This is beyond the comprehension of ordinary hackers, reaching the point of destroying this digital space from both real and virtual dimensions.

"Heh, what happened here?"

With a strange chuckle, Suedo Akemi, appearing in her "true form," suddenly appeared behind the hacker boss without warning.

"Such a powerful digital wave must have been caused by some being in 'another world' being disturbed."

Turning around abruptly, the hacker leader saw that the fear in his eyes was instantly replaced by surprise when he saw the figure of Suedo Akemi appear behind him.

"It's you! Do you know what happened here?!"

The hacker boss never dreamed that the man who once gave him the "Digimon Capturer" would appear at this moment.

Moreover, the hacker leader was quite certain that his small group of three was able to "accidentally" obtain part of the Infiltrator's source code, and this man was undoubtedly behind the scenes.

"Know?"

Shaking his head regretfully, Modo Akira didn't seem to care about the hacker boss's questioning, just as he didn't care about the other party's rudeness.

"I'd love to know what happened here too, but unfortunately no one will tell me."

As he casually glanced at the fragmented data remnants, Akemi Suedo, though unsure whether the data was useful, chose to preserve these "materials" out of habit as a researcher.

"Who...are you?"

Noticing Akemi Suedo's unusual behavior, the not-so-stupid hacker leader instantly made a connection.

"Who am I? My name is Suedo Akishiro."

Tilting his head slightly, with a strange smile still on his face, Suedo Akemi said this.

"He is a researcher who enjoys studying mysterious things."

"Of course, you can also call me Mo Tang directly, I won't mind."

Tokyo, Japan, Nakano Building, first floor, Kumi Detective Agency.

"Cough cough..."

Having just returned from the EDEN network, Kyoko Kuroi immediately started coughing uncontrollably after removing her special equipment.

The fact that her mental data was already incomplete, and that she was forced to enter that digital space located in another dimension, put tremendous mental pressure on Kyoko Murami.

If it weren't for Alphamon protecting her on a data level, she probably would have lost her original will long ago after re-entering the Digital World.

"I already said, I only need to go once."

A moment later, as the coughing subsided, Kyoko Mukai's voice returned to the calm and rational Alphamon tone.

"Your current spiritual body is pieced together by me, and being able to control your body for a short period of time is already your limit."

"In that unknown other dimension, your mind will endure pressure far exceeding that of reality."
