Chapter Fifty-Six: The Perfect Body

【Renamon, I'm here.】

Unaware of the battle unfolding behind it, the raging flames transformed into "propellers," propelling the white fire beast towards the deepest part of the subway station.

Moreover, as the speed increased, the world in the white flame beast's eyes began to blur.

The surrounding environment flashed by in his eyes, leaving no clear image, just like a race car speeding on a track.

call……

In a daze, the White Flame Beast's Digicore even began to actively change its own form and structure in order to adapt to this rapid speed.

The white flame beast was absolutely certain that this was not a misperception.

In order to enable its body to achieve higher speeds, its own digital core is constantly improving and replacing the original data defects.

My heart was pounding, the wind howled with flames, and even the flames that were originally humanoid became more frenzied...

[This feeling... is it evolution?]

The white flame beast was a little unsure what had happened to its body, but the only thing it was certain of was that its abilities seemed to have been enhanced once again.

call……

The heightened emotions were transformed into data, which was then "filled" into the ever-changing digital core...

It is this supplementary data that provides sufficient data support for the special phenomenon of the White Flame Beast, which resembles evolution but is not actually evolution.

If any fully evolved being witnessed this scene, they would be astonished by the White Flame Beast's performance.

This ability to continuously strengthen itself in response to external stimuli is precisely the most basic characteristic of Ultimate-level Digimon—infinite growth.

For any fully evolved being, unless the stimulus is something that can instantly kill them, it will only make them stronger.

This "stimulus" includes, but is not limited to, intense battles, sudden changes in the environment, and the belief in becoming stronger.

Just like a fully configured computer, a fully-fledged Digimon, with its hardware and software already perfected, can still have its performance gradually improved through various "patches".

Undoubtedly, the unusual behavior exhibited by the White Flame Beast is the most outward manifestation of this "unlimited growth" characteristic.

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

Deep inside Shinjuku subway station.

"So... this is the 'step' that was missing in the digitization process?"

As the Lilac Beast split off a wisp of "blood" from the enormous crimson crystal, the Fox Beast X miraculously did not experience any fear.

After understanding the actions of the Lilac Beast, she finally realized where Chen Ze's "digitalization plan" went wrong.

Generally speaking, for Digimon to become digital and appear in the real world, they must first solve two problems.

The first step is to transform one's own data into digital waves that conform to the rules of the material world.

Only in this way can Digimon appear in the material world, rather than being pure data.

However, simply appearing in the real world is not enough, because digital waves, as a form of energy, cannot exist in the real world for a long time.

Therefore, the second step in digitization is to find a "medium".

Digital waves must attach themselves to a "medium" and then change the form of the "medium" to transform it into the form of a Digimon in order to appear in the material world for a long time.

Considering compatibility, this "medium" should ideally be biological, and even better if it is the human body.

Although this description might give the impression of being possessed by an evil spirit or a ghost, this is indeed the essence of digital waves.

Otherwise, even if the SwordEmperormon uses NAVIT to create SwordEmperormon NX, it can only interfere with reality temporarily and will eventually dissipate completely.

However, Lilacmon's approach was different, or rather, her understanding of "digitalization" differed from Chen Ze's.

In the stage of "converting data into digital waves", Dingxiang Beast and Chen Ze had the same idea: to find ways to convert data into energy and magnetic fields.

However, in the second stage, Chen Ze used a method of attaching digital waves to biological media and then using the characteristic of digital waves to erode the matter of the real world to gradually "turn" himself into a Digimon.

However, the clove beast does not have a ready-made "body" in the real world, so naturally she has no biological "medium" to use.

In this case, the Lilac Beast's approach is to convert the data into digital waves and then use other methods to simulate protein structures that can exist in the material world—that is, a "protein-mimicking program".

From this perspective, the "protein-mimicking program" is actually a special program that can materialize and biologize digital waves.

With a complete "protein-mimicking program," Digimon can freely switch between data, energy, and matter without any medium.

In comparison, Chen Ze, lacking the "protein-mimicking program," seems to be taking a crooked path, a way of skipping the material stage and directly replacing it with the human body.

"Is this the purpose of the Philosopher's Stone?"

Under normal circumstances, writing a complete "pseudoprotein program" tests not only the intelligence of the Lilac Beast, but also requires an energy strong enough to turn digital waves into physical objects.

Regarding the "protein mimicry program," the lilac beast had already obtained first-hand data and information by invading human biological gene banks.

The only problem was the supply of energy. Before refining the Philosopher's Stone, the Lilac Beast had not been able to find a suitable substitute.

To this end, the Lilac Beast even considered hacking into nuclear power plants in order to obtain enough energy for its "protein-mimicking program".

Fortunately, before Lilacmon took action, SwordEmperormon had already begun generating a large number of Digiwaves, which reminded Lilacmon of the legendary "Philosopher's Stone".

Considering that the Philosopher's Stone is a product of the materialization of digital waves and has a natural compatibility with the "Pseudo-protein Program", Lilacmon set its sights on this semi-digitalized subway station almost without hesitation.

In fact, according to Lilac Beast's original plan, she didn't need to execute the plan in such a hurry.

However, upon discovering Renamon X, Lilacmon immediately decided to launch its plan.

Because Renamon X had previously been exposed to DigiWave and was very likely to have been digitized, it was undoubtedly more suitable than any of the Digimon in her plans to serve as a "guinea pig".

Lilacmon has never been a hesitant Digimon. Once she has decided on a direction, her execution ability is in no way inferior to Renamon X, who is driven by curiosity.

Just like what she's doing now...

PS: I heard that Hedgehog Cat will be temporarily closed today, so I'm setting up a scheduled update in advance.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Failed Digitalization?

"what!"

The moment the "blood streaks" made contact with the body, even the usually resilient and tenacious fox spirit X couldn't help but let out a mournful howl.

However, this is just the beginning.

chi chi chi...

When the energy of the Philosopher's Stone officially entered its body, Renamon X's body rapidly deconstructed, turning into pure data composed of countless 0s and 1s.

"what!"

Like a ghost, countless eerie green data streams formed the form of Renamon X.

Right in the middle of this torrent of 0s and 1s, a digital core radiating a yellow light is taking shape.

As mentioned before, although the Digicore is the core of a Digimon and is regarded as its "heart," its essence is similar to a DNA sequence and it does not have a specific form.

However, at this moment, as Renamon X's body gradually disintegrated, the Digicore appeared before Lilacmon in an incredibly clear form.

Unlock your 'secret treasure'!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lilacmon, with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, easily invaded Renamon X's Digicore.

—Protein mimicry program writing!

The lilac beast first wrote its prepared "protein-mimicking program" into it.

Next, she controlled the enormous Philosopher's Stone and forcibly assimilated the deconstructed data of Renamon X, providing ample energy support for its upcoming transformation.

"Digitization? I'm sure I can do it!"

The lilac beast's entire process was smooth and seamless, completing all the preparation steps in less than three seconds.

Next, all she had to do was witness Renamon X's digitization process and then, based on the other party's performance, gradually correct the errors and omissions in the "Pseudo-Protein Program".

chi chi chi...

Therefore, the data that originally constituted Renamon X was quickly reconstructed according to the structure of the "protein-like program" after being converted into digital waves.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The first to complete the transformation was Renamon X's Digicore.

As the deconstructed data is rapidly reassembled, it transforms directly into a living heart, with the digital core at its core.

It was a biological heart made entirely of flesh and blood. The clove beast beside it could not only clearly hear the heartbeat, but also see the muscle patterns on it clearly.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Soon, centered on this heart, blood vessels of varying thickness gradually spread outwards, forming a rough human shape in conjunction with the still-growing capillaries.

"Did you make it?"

First the heart, then the blood vessels, then the muscles, and finally the skin and hair tissue…

In the blink of an eye, Reijomon X transformed from a mere data entity into a creature with a true flesh and blood structure.

On the surface, Renamon X seems to have completed its digitalization process and now possesses a physical structure that can truly appear in the real world.

However, as a top-tier mage proficient in all kinds of magic, even flesh and blood reshaping, Lilac Beast still saw through some clues from certain details.

"Did the protein-mimicking program malfunction?"

As if in response to the whisper of the Lilacmon, the Renamon X, which had already grown flesh and blood, let out another scream.

"what!"

In an instant, the skin of the fox beast X suddenly cracked open, and blood began to seep from its entire body.

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

"A fox beast?"

When the white flame beast arrived at the edge of the barrier set up by the lilac beast, it saw the fox beast X covered in blood and already in a coma.

As for the clove beast?

She is currently manipulating the enormous Philosopher's Stone, constantly fixing and correcting errors in the "Protein Simulator," with the intention of achieving true digitization.

"Fire Fist!"

Seeing this, the already irritable white flame beast no longer cared about anything else and swung a fierce flame punch forward.

Click...

Under the terrifying power of the overloaded flames, the barrier that the Lilac Beast had prepared beforehand was completely useless and was "shattered" by a single punch.

This unexpected turn of events left the Lilac Beast stunned, but it also forced it to temporarily focus its energy on dealing with the White Flame Beast that had pounced on it.

"Get out of my way!"

With just a simple shout, a powerful gust of air rose from the ground, forming a wall of wind that blocked the way for the Lilac Beast.

Boom!

In an instant, the collision of flames and storm truly reverberated throughout the entire subway station.

The splashing lava, extinguished by the storm, scorched the nearby concrete pavement and tracks, leaving terrifying craters.

Wisps of smoke rose from the scorched pits, adding a burnt smell to the surrounding air.

"Release the fox demon!"

Left with no other choice, the white flame beast had to retreat several steps to barely escape the area swept by the storm.

"Reckless man."

Lilacmon tilted its head slightly, glanced disdainfully at Flamemon, and then continued to manipulate Renamon X's Digicore using the Philosopher's Stone.

"I told you to release the demon fox beast! Didn't you hear me?!"

This time, the white flame beast was completely enraged by the clove beast.

tumultuous!

The surging flames instantly converged and compressed from the outside in, causing his body to expand rapidly like an inflated balloon.

"Let go!"
