Digital Hackers' Memories

So what if the other party sees through my weakness?

As a Royal Knight that surpasses many Ultimate-level Digimon, SwordKingmon does not believe that it will be defeated by a "mutant" again and again.

"Since you're so eager to die, I might as well grant your wish!"

Bring together the data that is scattered in the digital space into a beautiful rose.

Sword Emperor Beast casually flicked its wrist, piercing through Asura Beast's series of heavy punches and shooting straight at the furious face in the center of Asura Beast's face.

——Rose Fantasy!

PS: When I was writing about Asuramon, I kept thinking about Asura's Wrath in picture one.

Indeed, this is the real Asura!

Chapter Sixty-Three: The Shattered Digital Core

Silence!

Even faster than Asura Beast had imagined, the flying rose was like a drawn blade, striking his brow in an instant.

Click...

Just like shattering glass, a crisp sound came from the Asura Beast's body.

Clearly, this attack by SwordEmperormon was not a purely physical attack; it was also targeting the data and Digicore that make up Ashuramon.

However, compared to Renamon X's brain-draining attacks, this time Kingomon clearly adopted a more aggressive approach.

"They're actually... attacking the digital core!"

The Asura Beast could clearly sense that the alluring rose had injected some kind of viral program into its body the moment it hit it.

This is a virus specifically designed to destroy digital cores, and it is also proof that Swordmon is an Ultimate-level virus species.

Every attack carries a viral attribute; even a casually tossed rose can be fatally toxic to ordinary Digimon.

The only saving grace is that Ashuramon is not a Data-type Digimon; its inherent vaccine data provides it with strong resistance to viruses.

Therefore, even if it is an Ultimate level that is one level above itself, Ashuramon can temporarily delay the effects of the deadly virus on itself.

Although this period of time is not long, it is enough for Asuramon to reverse the situation that would have meant certain death.

"Sword Emperor Beast!"

So, under the contemptuous gaze of the Sword Emperor Beast, the three-faced, four-armed Asura Beast suddenly raised its voice and roared.

"I won't be defeated so easily!"

Before the words were even finished, the three faces of the Asura Beast simultaneously turned into expressions of rage, and the veins on its four arms bulged, surging with scorching flames.

tumultuous!

The next moment, a terrifying burst of pale flames, far more terrifying than those from the White Flame Beast era, erupted.

The flames, compressed to their extreme, almost lost their original color and shape, turning into four bluish-white "Azure Dragons"!

—Flame Dragon Fist!

hold head high!

With a silent roar, the four fiery dragons distorted the surrounding air as soon as they flew out.

This already cramped subway station has been transformed into a veritable lava hell.

tumultuous!

First, the high-strength concrete steel bars couldn't withstand the high temperature and were gradually melted into a liquid state, which then dripped from the dome above.

Following this, the already cracked road surface and collapsed rocks gradually showed signs of crystallization after the high temperature appeared.

However, what truly surprised SwordEmperormon was not these external "appearances," but rather that Ashuramon was still able to maintain such a high level of combat prowess despite being eroded by its own virus.

"your face……"

Shocked, the Sword Emperor Beast even forgot to maintain its BOSS aura and involuntarily let out a cry.

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

"Chen Ze?!"

It wasn't until this moment that Renamon X, who had been pushed off the battlefield by Ashuramon, could see clearly what had happened to him.

On the face struck by the rose, the mask of the Asura Beast shattered along with its skin, revealing a scene as dazzling and profound as a galaxy.

What surprised the fox spirit X even more was that behind the shattered face, a white rhombus could be vaguely seen rotating.

And in the very center of that white rhombus, a miniature rose was prominently displayed.

Just like a real living thing, the alluring roses deeply rooted themselves into the white rhombus, drawing data and nutrients from it to grow.

"Sword Emperor Beast! You haven't experienced a real battle in far too long!"

Before Renamon X could recover from the shock of the scene, Asuramon, ignoring its own injuries, launched another attack on SwordEmmon, unleashing four "Flame Dragons".

Boom!

With the sound of space shattering, the Asura Beast's four tangled arms disappeared from everyone's sight after causing a ripple.

"what?!"

Caught off guard, before Sword Emperor Beast could react, four "steel arms" that appeared from behind him firmly locked him off from any chance of counterattack.

Just like the Invaders that Renamon X encountered before, Ashuramon now also possesses a certain degree of ability to manipulate space.

This practice of inserting part of one's limbs into the void and then extending them out from the other side is merely the most basic application of this spatial ability.

"go to hell!"

Like an embodiment of rage, the Asura Beast roared furiously, displaying a terrifying brute force that surpassed that of a typical Perfect level beast.

Even the Ultimate-level Sword Emperor Beast, after its limbs were locked, could only watch helplessly as the four ferocious fire dragons crashed head-on into it.

Rumble…

The next instant, a series of explosions engulfed the entire subway station.

As the core of this explosion, the Sword Emperor Beast, located on the other side of space, had no chance to struggle and disappeared behind the crack.

However, the disappearance of Sword Emperor Beast was just the beginning.

boom!

The explosion caused the already overloaded subway station to collapse completely.

Countless pieces of rubble mixed with steel bars fell from the sky and slammed into the ground, with some of the steel bars that retained their original shape penetrating several feet into the ground.

Unfortunately, a steel bar fell straight down from directly above the Asura Beast.

"Cough cough..."

Now, the Asura Beast was exhausted from its recent outburst and had no way to dodge the steel bar that was falling from the sky.

"careful!"

Seeing this, the fox demon X decisively turned around and pounced, knocking him away with lightning speed, but he had to take the damage for him.

sizzle...

In the blink of an eye, just as the fox spirit X was about to die a horrible death on the spot...

A mysterious, sudden force surged from her body, inexplicably causing the steel bar to deviate by a few centimeters.

Bang!

So when Ashuramon looked up again, what it saw was a huge steel bar slanted into the ground, almost hitting Renamon X.

"A fox-like beast?!"

Blood seeped from its tail, and its body was covered in a variety of abrasions...

In the Asura Beast's current vision, the pale yellow fox, despite its disheveled state, still managed to get up from the ground and then gave him an ugly smile.

"It's bleeding! Looks like my 'digitalization' was a success..."

Even though it was describing a very tragic thing, the fox spirit X's tone was full of pride, like a child who was taking credit.

"You idiot, is being 'injured' something to be happy about?!"

Chapter Sixty-Four: I'm Not Human Anymore

"You idiot, being 'injured' is something to be happy about, isn't it?!"

With a hint of relief at surviving a disaster in his voice, Asuramon looked at Reijomon X's carefree attitude and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"Ahem, you're not in a position to say things like that to me right now."

She habitually retorted to Ashuramon, but when Renamon X saw Ashuramon's current appearance, she inexplicably felt a pang of heartache.

The face on the front was completely shattered, revealing a deep, star-like landscape...

Because the four arms were not pulled out in time, they remained forever in the spatial rift...

More importantly, Ashuramon's Digicore has also been severely damaged and is being eroded by the virus from SwordEmperormon...

Thinking of this, Renamon X, who had regained his senses, suddenly remembered a very important question—why had Ashuramon, whose Digicore had been shattered, not disappeared yet?

What's your situation right now?

After a brief silence, Reijou X finally asked the question.

As the three-faced, four-armed wrathful god Asura, why is Chen Ze able to maintain his complete form even after losing one face and four arms?

Instead of turning into data and disappearing like other Digimon?

It's important to understand that the current Ashuramon hasn't been digitized like Renamon X; for it, the appearance of datafication in its body means "death."

Not to mention, Renamon X even witnessed the opponent's Digicore being shattered by SwordEmperormon.

Even if Ashuramon is the ultimate form that Chen Ze evolved into, the fact that it has not disappeared yet has shattered the understanding of Renamon X.

Putting everything else aside, Ashuramon should at least respect the rules of the EDEN network world. When its data avatar is destroyed, its mental data should automatically return to its original body!

Without SwordEmperormon's interference, Renamon X believed that was the normal reaction of Chen Ze's "Digimon Avatar" after its death.

"Hehe, have you forgotten that I have two digital cores?"

"SwordKingmon destroyed Piccolo's artificial Digicore, but Agumon's Digicore was not destroyed."

The original White Flamemon was a Champion-level Digimon evolved from the fusion of Agumon and Piccolo, and it possessed two Digicores.

Prior to this, since the "evolution program" written by Chen Ze ran on Piccolo's artificial digital core, Agumon was essentially wearing a layer of "digital armor" and still maintained relative independence.

Even though Chen Ze had just risked evolving White Flamemon to save Renamon X, he consciously controlled the two Digicores to prevent them from interfering with each other.

In fact, this is also the reason why Chen Ze was able to evolve into the three-faced, four-armed Asura Beast.

Having two Digicores is equivalent to having multiple different data at the same time. Even if one of the Digicores is destroyed by SwordEmperormon, Ashuramon can still survive.

"Wouldn't there be any negative consequences if the artificial digital core were destroyed?"

Having spent so much time with Chen Ze, the fox spirit X naturally knew his personality of only reporting good news and not bad, so she had no doubt that he was hiding something.

"Negative impact?"

After a slight pause, Chen Ze looked at the fox demon X, who seemed determined to get to the bottom of things, and could only shrug helplessly.

Chen Ze really wanted to shrug, but since all four of his arms had already been sacrificed to the Sword Emperor Beast, he could only express his helplessness by shrugging.

"If we have to consider negative effects, then that 'spatial ability' from just now could be considered one of them!"

Although Little Piccolo's digital core was shattered, its data still remained within Ashuramon's body.

Otherwise, Ashuramon, having lost half of its data, would have already degenerated and would never have been able to unleash the same combat power as before, enough to defeat SwordEmperormon.

The Overload Flame from Agumon, and the Spatial Abilities from Piccolo (The Invader)...

The combination of these two factors allowed Ashuramon, a Perfect-level Digimon, to temporarily possess strength comparable to an Ultimate-level Digimon.

However, the shattering of the artificial digital core caused Piccolo and Agumon's data to begin mixing, blurring the previously distinct boundaries.

"Is that the power of the Corruptor?"

The fox beast X hadn't forgotten the alien invader that had chased after it and Chen Ze.

Whether it's the grudge the other party shows, or the ability to hunt across space, these are "unique behaviors" that ordinary invaders cannot possess.
