Digital Hackers' Memories

The extremely high temperature turned the concrete road surface into a lava hell, and the resulting heat distorted the surrounding air, creating a distorted illusion similar to a "mirage" in the core battlefield.

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

"what!!"

A fierce heat wave, accompanied by a gust of air, erupted from the end of the tunnel, knocking Makiko Date, who was trying to approach, to the ground.

tumultuous!

Immediately afterwards, red and swollen blisters appeared on the body of Makiko Date, who had fallen to the ground; these were marks left by the intense heat.

Such inhuman injuries caused Date Makiko to faint from the pain before she could even react.

Fortunately, this semi-digital space "borrowed" some of EDEN's rules, otherwise Makiko Date would be in far more serious condition than just fainting from pain.

However, even with the protection of the EDEN rules, when faced with such a heat wave of one or two thousand degrees, Makiko Date's body suffered severe burns and scalds.

Even if she is rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment and skin grafts afterward, there is no guarantee that it will not affect the rest of her life.

It can be said that even if she only suffered the aftermath of the battle with the Extradramon X, Makiko Date, as an ordinary person, would have her life completely ruined.

This is the power of Digimon, an explosion that is almost perfect, no less than a massive bombing raid.

"Sister Ida?!"

So when Chen Ze rushed to the foot of the crumbling dome, he saw Date Makiko lying on her deathbed, a far cry from her previous carefree self.

"I XXX!"

When Chen Ze got closer and saw the injuries on Makiko Date's body, even he, who usually didn't like to swear, couldn't help but swear.

The bubbles generated by the heatwave were so horrifying, and coupled with the severely burned, almost charred skin, Chen Ze couldn't even be sure if the other person was still alive.

"hold onto!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ze strode forward and began to "treat" Makiko Date in his own way.

Theoretically speaking, in this semi-digital space, Chen Ze, who can manipulate data, is "God." He can completely restore the data of "Idate Makiko" by analyzing it.

Decoding each component that makes up "Makiko Date" into understandable data, and then restoring it to its original state through data recovery, is the inherent advantage of data over matter.

However, a theory is a theory precisely because the reality is far more complex than imagined.

— Hacking and Decoding!

Under Chen Ze's control, several massive data streams surrounded Date Makiko, but because she was not a pure data avatar, they could only temporarily prevent her injuries from worsening.

As for further treatment?

Even Chen Ze didn't have a good solution, as this was beyond his capabilities.

Chen Ze had no doubt that if Makiko Date left this tunnel, or if this semi-digital space disappeared for some reason, she would probably die directly without the protection of the EDEN rules.

"I will definitely save you, I will definitely save you..."

Faced with such a life-or-death choice for the first time, Chen Ze could only repeat these words in a low voice, not knowing whether he was expressing his determination or trying to keep himself calm.

"I'm sure I can think of a way!"

Chapter Fourteen: X Evolution

"You can't save her like this."

Beneath that crumbling dome, the "little girl" following closely behind Chen Ze also witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sigh softly.

“She is different from you; she did not enter here in the form of data.”

Under Chen Ze's astonished gaze, the "little girl" who gradually emerged from the darkness explained in this way.

"She is human. No matter how much you 'fix' her data, you can't change the fact that she is human."

If it's just a simple data avatar, whether it's "restoration" or "reset," Chen Ze, as a hacker, has countless ways to achieve it.

Unfortunately, although Makiko Date also exhibits a semi-digitalized phenomenon here, her essence still belongs to the category of "flesh and blood".

"What you need is pure power, not simple data repair."

As the "little girl" drew closer, Chen Ze seemed to understand something, and a look of sudden realization flashed in his eyes.

"The power of Digimon?"

Yes, if there is any power in this world purer than "data", it is undoubtedly Digimon.

As native life forms of the Digital World, Digimon's power can almost simultaneously affect both the real and digital worlds, making it far more reliable than Chen Ze's current half-baked "data power."

The problem now is, where can I find a Digimon with 'healing' abilities?

The first thing that flashed through Chen Ze's mind was the image of the fox demon. With its understanding of demonic arts and years of combat experience, using some healing "spells" should not be difficult.

"who are you?"

Thinking of this, Chen Ze, who was slightly relieved, finally had time to ask about the "little girl's" origins.

Knowing what's happening here and seemingly having some understanding of Digimon, the "little girl" in front of him could definitely not be an ordinary person.

"Wait, are you a Digimon?"

Just then, Chen Ze suddenly noticed something unusual about the rat-shaped hood on the other person's clothes.

Because the two eyes on the hood were actually moving, just like a real creature moving its eyeballs.

"Of course I'm a Digimon, what else do you think I am?"

Despite his gentle and elegant expression, Chen Ze seemed to sense a hint of disdain and disdain in the other person's hooded eyes.

"I am Sister Beast, I can save her."

She walked straight up to Chen Ze and spoke with a tone of pity that was incongruous with her age.

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

"Woo!"

At the end of the tunnel, Allosaurus X was in the lava formed from the concrete road, its face filled with grief and indignation.

In the end, you still lost.

Accompanied by a calm voice, the figure of the fox beast silently appeared on a steel bar in the tunnel.

The white flames that had been there before transformed back into Little Piccolo's form and returned to her side, like a floating cannon that was always hovering and on alert.

"I never imagined it was all fake!"

Allosaurus X's Dragon Flash did indeed cause tremendous damage. Even Renamon, protected by Piccolo, would have no chance of directly withstanding that near-Perfect level attack.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the fox beast had no intention of confronting it head-on; those previous clones were all just illusions.

"You can't possibly be an ordinary growing-up. What exactly is your identity?"

With a low growl, Allosaurus X knew its time was coming to an end. The seemingly ordinary Renamon on the other side definitely had killing experience commensurate with its skills.

"What is my identity?"

Renamon seemed surprised that Allosaurus X would ask this question at the end.

Unconsciously, Renamon recalled the time she had spent with Chen Ze, and then her experiences in the Digital World.

Her childhood experiences are complete, and her memories of spending time with Chen Ze are also intact...

Renamon still felt as if it had forgotten something important, so important that even someone like Mirei Mikagura would turn its attention to a mere Rookie-level Digimon like itself.

"I'd also like to know, what other identity do I have?"

The slightly upturned corners of his mouth seemed to carry a hint of bitterness; the fox-like beast could now clearly sense its own "abnormality."

Whether it was the inexplicable arrival in the human world or the sense of crisis that had been present since childhood, it made Youkomon feel that its identity had been "split".

I am indeed a Renamon, but I seem to be more than just a "Renamon".

The lost memories and Mirei Mikagura's words all pointed to the fact that Renamon's identity was not simple.

"Really? That's truly pathetic."

Slowly closing its eyes, Allosaurus X's body transformed into fragments of data and gradually disappeared before the eyes of Renamon.

hum!

Almost instinctively, the fox beast began to absorb the massive amount of data that was enough to transform itself once again.

In particular, the xenogeneic data of the X antibody contained within gave her an unprecedented sense of comfort, and the light of evolution appeared along with it.

Renamon - X-Evolution...

The body's potential was fully unleashed, and the claws and teeth of the limbs became even sharper.

More importantly, as Renamon began to accept the X-Antibody's alien data, her already formed Digicore began to reorganize once again.

Using the original "X program" as a template, the reconstructed digital core also possesses a certain unknown characteristic—X.

X stands for unknown, which is why the X Digimon are named as such.

Under the influence of this new digital core, Renamon's original appearance began to mutate, all due to the X (unknown) mutation that occurred in order to survive and become stronger.

—Renamon X!

After the light of evolution faded, the immense demonic power condensed into two magatama-shaped "earrings" on the fox beast's ears.

At the same time, blood-red lines appeared on her originally clean face.

At the center of these patterns, specifically between the eyebrows of the fox-like creature, two black chevrons resembling the yin-yang symbol appeared, making it appear both alluring and eerie.

Moreover, after the changes on its face were complete, blood-red patterns gradually appeared on other parts of the fox beast's body, seemingly symbolizing some kind of mysterious "talisman".

However, compared to these changes in appearance, what is truly surprising is the fox beast's tail.

Suddenly, her one tail turned into two.

And each one swings nimbly, full of graceful and powerful beauty, clearly not just for decoration.

Chapter Fifteen: Sword Emperor Beast NX

"That'll be fine."

A pure white holy light swept across Makiko Date's body, and Sistermon's expression became increasingly compassionate as the holy light appeared.

As a Data-type, Doll-type Digimon, Sistermon shouldn't be good at recovery skills that are usually only used by Angel-type Digimon.

Unfortunately, she also has two disobedient younger sisters and a younger brother who is very good at "causing trouble".

In addition, her father's strict teaching that "power has no attribute or type" made Sistermon an existence outside the norm.

Although she is only a Champion-level Digimon, Sistermon's abilities cannot be judged in the conventional way; her strength has even been recognized by most of the Royal Knights.

"Is this... all right?"

Although he saw the blisters from the burns receding, Chen Ze still couldn't believe that the other party had healed Date Makiko's injuries so easily.

It should be understood that such extensive burns and blisters all over the body are not necessarily treatable even with the technology of this era, let alone fully recoverable.

Chen Ze could simply understand the Digimon's ability to recover from its injuries so quickly as a characteristic of "data lifeforms," ​​so the impact on him wasn't too great.

But the woman before him, Makiko Date, was a genuine human being, a human being with flesh and blood.

Even with the fox spirit that Chen Ze had previously thought of, he only hoped that it could temporarily alleviate Makiko's injuries; he didn't have much hope for a complete cure.

However, the "healing ability" displayed by this Sistermon has clearly shattered Chen Ze's understanding of Digimon.

This made him realize that once Digimon appeared in the real world, it would impact not only military equipment and force, but also other aspects of "common sense".

Or rather, influenced by his memories from his previous life and his experiences during this period, Chen Ze's understanding of the power and wonder of Digimon was still limited to their extraordinary "combat strength."

In fact, besides their formidable fighting prowess, it is the Digimon's bizarre and varied abilities that are truly capable of changing the landscape of the human world.

Are you doubting my skills?

With a confident smile, Sistermon, a specially trained Digimon, was absolutely certain that the human woman before her was out of danger.

“Compared to Hank Beast, healing it doesn’t require as much of my power.”

The "Hankmon" that Sistermon mentioned is her little brother who is very good at "causing trouble," and is also the Digimon destined to inherit the mantle of his father.

Aside from his constant attempts to show off and cause trouble in order to gain his father's approval, Hankmon surpasses himself in every aspect.

"Hank the Beast?"

Having only watched the Digimon anime series in his previous life, Chen Ze didn't know the origins of Sistermon and Hankmon, but that didn't stop him from sensing their terror.

"Yes, Hankmon, it is a Digimon destined to become a Royal Knight."
