Digital Hackers' Memories

Even though Renamon was prepared to counterattack, Allosaurus X's unexpected agility still caught her off guard.

This has nothing to do with tactics, skills, or wisdom.

It's purely a matter of raw power difference between Allosaurus X and Renamon, a difference so great that it cannot be bridged by skill alone.

Even if Allosaurus's reaction was anticipated, its speed far exceeded what Renamon could handle.

Renamon's excellent dynamic vision was able to capture Allosaurus X's tail whip, but her body couldn't keep up with the opponent's movements, and she could only watch helplessly as the tail slammed into her.

tumultuous!

At this critical moment, the white flames that Piccolo had transformed into suddenly expanded, engulfing Allosaurus X and Renamon in a raging sea of ​​fire.

Boom!

In an instant, a huge explosion resounded throughout the tunnel, and dust billowed up everywhere, obscuring the sky.

—Weapon Mode: Flame Blast!

This is Little Bick's "weapon mode".

A special mode that temporarily transforms the power of white flames into a "weapon form".

Compared to the White Flame Beast, which requires its main body to bear most of the pressure, this weaponized mode, while not being able to fully unleash the power of the White Flame, allows Renamon to obtain some of the White Flame Beast's power without affecting its own evolution.

The combination of the fox beast's agility and cunning, and the ferocity and explosiveness of the white flames, is definitely not as simple as "one plus one equals two".

"I'm taking your digital core."

A moment later, as the dust settled, the fox-like beast, its body enveloped in white flames, murmured softly.

Compared to Renamon's somewhat disheveled state, Allosaurus X, which directly absorbed most of the "explosive power" of the white flames, lay on the ground, its fate unknown.

rustling...

It sounded like flames burning the air, and also like the sound of a fox-like beast treading on gravel...

Enveloped in white flames, Renamon slowly approached Allosaurus X, and the flames, powerful enough to burn data, gradually spread outwards.

Chapter Twelve Semi-Digitalization

Boom!

As Makiko Date was groping her way into the tunnel, she suddenly heard an explosion ahead, followed by a violent shaking of the ground as if an earthquake had struck.

"what!"

Without any warning, Makiko Date fell to the ground.

boom!

Fortunately, this fall saved her from the sudden collapse of the stone beam in front of her, which narrowly missed her and plunged deep into the concrete road less than a meter away.

"This……"

Staring dumbfounded at the "Grim Reaper" descending from the sky, Makiko Date looked up at herself being thrown into the ceiling, her mind momentarily blank.

Click...

As the tunnel collapsed, terrifying cracks spread outwards, revealing the steel bars that were originally used to support the tunnel structure.

And whether it was her imagination or not, Makiko Date seemed to see... mosaics in those cracks?

Yes, just like those computers that are not yet finished or have bugs.

Within those ever-spreading cracks, Makiko Date saw mosaic-like patterns, or rather, signs of data corruption.

"Hey... sizzle... your... sizzle... how... sizzle..."

Seemingly aware of Makiko Date's dangerous situation, Goro Matayoshi, who was stationed in the lobby of the "Computer Crime Investigation Division," immediately shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, due to the interference of this special space, when those complete sentences reached Makiko Date's ears, only fragments and the crackling sound of electricity remained.

"Uncle Youji?"

Realizing this as well, Makiko Date endured the excruciating pain and struggled to her feet, but the police earpiece in her ear could no longer receive any useful signals.

"What on earth happened here?!"

Driven by fear, Makiko Date wanted to leave the suddenly collapsed tunnel as quickly as possible, but her duty as a police officer prevented her from acting out of "cowardice."

Makiko Date is now almost certain that some kind of incident that endangers the safety of Tokyo must have occurred here.

The previous massive power outage was like this, and now the tunnel collapse is just as significant...

"I'd like to see which bastards dare to plant bombs here!"

Muttering through gritted teeth, Makiko Date assumed that both the previous "power outage" and the current "tunnel collapse" were acts of terrorism perpetrated by certain terrorists.

As for the fleeting mosaic, Makiko Date simply assumed it was a hallucination caused by fear.

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

"Sister Date, please don't go any further."

Outside the tunnel, Chen Ze, who had just arrived, glanced at the collapsed dome and rushed in without thinking too much.

The evolved fox beasts are fine, but for an ordinary person like Date Makiko to trespass here is undoubtedly courting death.

chi chi chi...

However, as soon as Chen Ze stepped into this unknown space, he heard a sound like an electric current coming from his body.

"This……"

Startled, Chen Ze stopped in his tracks, staring at the faintly appearing data on his palm, momentarily speechless.

"How is this going?"

Chen Ze could clearly feel that his original physical body was changing, with his physical functions such as fatigue, strength, and speed being "fixed".

Because of his time travel, Chen Ze has always paid more attention to his physical condition than others since childhood.

While other children were still playing, Chen Ze had already begun to learn and exercise. Therefore, although his physical fitness may not be as good as that of professional athletes, he is definitely one of the best among his peers.

Especially after the Hikari Hill incident, Chen Ze, who returned to a human body, felt that his body had undergone some kind of change, with a huge improvement in stability and perception.

The most obvious manifestation is that Chen Ze can judge, like a machine, how much physical strength he has left and how long he can maintain strenuous exercise.

When necessary, Chen Ze even felt that he only needed a period of special training to be able to perform amazing feats such as writing with his left hand and reading aloud using ventriloquism.

In other words, although Chen Ze's physical abilities in all aspects did not improve after the Guangqiu incident, his control over the details of his body was close to "100%".

It is precisely for this reason that Chen Ze can now clearly feel the changes in his body, as if his physical strength has been "fixed" and there will be no more extra consumption.

Of course, using the term "physical fitness stagnation" might not be entirely appropriate here.

Because this change in physical fitness made Chen Ze feel more like he was surfing the EDEN network, where his virtual character avatar didn't have a "stamina bar" or anything like that.

Unlimited stamina?

A sudden realization flashed through Chen Ze's mind. To verify his idea, he suddenly crouched down and jumped up in the most physically demanding way.

As he expected, Chen Ze's heart rate didn't even change much, as if he hadn't done any strenuous exercise.

"It won't consume your physical strength, but it will cause injury."

Feeling the tingling sensation in the soles of his feet, Chen Ze muttered to himself, confirming his guess.

This high-speed tunnel is indeed being digitized, but this digitization is incomplete; it simply replicates some settings of the EDEN network—which may include the setting that "data avatars" do not consume stamina.

"If that's the case, then this place can be considered an extension of half of the EDEN network, right?"

After muttering something uncertain to himself, Chen Ze stared at the dark tunnel entrance ahead, finally deciding to test a certain idea in his heart.

"If this is a digital space, then I should have a 'digital core', right?"

Chen Ze wasn't sure if other Digimon or hackers were doing the same, but he himself certainly didn't need any external devices to have the ability to manipulate information.

—Hacker Skills: Data Avatar!

In an instant, the data stream that was originally just in his palm quickly spread throughout Chen Ze's entire body, and his figure and appearance changed as a result.

First, his height suddenly increased, reaching nearly 1.9 meters.

Then came the appearance of a black trench coat, black leather pants, and black boots, completely shrouding the 1.9-meter-tall figure in darkness.

"Sure enough."

With a clenched fist, Chen Ze conjured a pair of dark sunglasses out of thin air in his hand.

"Although it's not complete, it is indeed 'digitalized'."

Chapter Thirteen Decoding and Restoration

"Humanity?"

Only after confirming that Chen Ze had completely entered the tunnel did someone who had witnessed his transformation into a "black-clad hacker" slowly emerge from under the neon-colored billboard.

Judging from her appearance, she seems to be a young girl who is not very old.

She wore a sky-blue, rat-shaped hood and an extremely gorgeous white nun's dress, making her look like a gentle and lovely nun.

Contrary to her gentle and elegant appearance, the little girl had a very serious expression, clearly the kind of person who was very earnest.

"That was definitely a human."

If Chen Ze were here now, he would realize that this seemingly human little girl, just like himself, is not purely made of flesh and blood.

Or more precisely, this is a Digimon that looks remarkably like a "human girl".

Furthermore, her words and actions reveal that she not only knows everything about Digimon, but has even achieved true digitalization in the human world.

Without needing a special semi-digital space like a "high-speed tunnel," this peculiar Digimon can maintain its current form even in the real human world.

"It seems that Dad was right, there is indeed an 'anomaly' in this world."

After a brief pause, this special Digimon also entered the tunnel.

"We must find out exactly what happened before Dad's power is exhausted."

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

"..."

Maintaining a high level of vigilance, Renamon suddenly stopped its advance when it was about to get within two meters of Allosaurus X.

tumultuous!

The next moment, the white flames burning around the fox beast began to converge and transform, quickly forming a huge fire dragon that pounced forward.

"Ow!"

Suddenly opening its eyes, Allosaurus X, which had previously appeared to be unconscious, flipped over and leaped in an astonishing manner, narrowly avoiding the oncoming white fire dragon.

"I knew it couldn't be that simple."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes. Having anticipated this, the Foxmon paused, transforming into several afterimages as it appeared above Allosaurus X.

—Fox Transformation!

This evolution compensates for Renamon's previous lack of power, in addition to its inherent high-speed movement ability.

Even the battle-hardened Exiadramon X couldn't distinguish which of the Renamon above it was the real one, let alone launch a further counterattack.

"Dragon Flash!"

Since there's no way to dodge, then let's just stop dodging altogether.

At that moment, Allosaurus X, with its decisive nature, suddenly opened its huge mouth, and ultra-high-temperature flames began to gather in its mouth, along with the dragon factor that had been fully activated within its body.

The highly active dragon factor instantly elevated Allosaurus X's physique to a true Perfect level, and the overloaded, condensed high-temperature flames, based on this, surpassed the extreme of 1,500 degrees Celsius.

Boom!

Another violent explosion came from the depths of the tunnel, but this time the tunnel was not as lucky as before, and began to collapse as a whole.

rumbling...

The massive cracks spread outwards at a visible speed, and the spiderweb-like pattern quickly spread throughout the entire tunnel.

Bang!

The ground that directly bore the brunt of this powerful attack collapsed first.
