Digital Hackers' Memories

Little Bick had once devoured the data of that Invader, and naturally inherited some of its abilities.

Prior to this, Renamon X had always thought that Piccolo had not shown the characteristics of the Invader simply because the relevant data had not been obtained.

However, judging from the current situation, that artificial digital core may indeed have inherited some of the Invader's abilities.

It's just that Chen Ze deliberately suppressed it, so it didn't show.

"So, you're also an 'Eroder' now?"

As if remembering something, the fox spirit X suddenly widened its eyes, and its emotions, which had just calmed down, began to fluctuate again.

"Yes, just as you thought, I am indeed half an 'Eroder' now..."

Although it was talking about something very frustrating, Ashuramon's tone was calm.

"My mental data is trapped in the digital core, and I probably won't be able to return to my physical body for the time being."

The Invaders are unknown life forms that feed on data, and they have a particular interest in human mental data.

Little Piccolo had only temporarily suppressed part of its essence in the form of an "artificial digital core," just as it suppressed the Invader's other abilities.

However, after the artificial digital core shattered, the data of the Invaders was also freed and officially integrated into Agumon's digital core.

Under normal circumstances, if a Digimon could inherit the ability of an Infiltrator to devour data and evolve infinitely, the benefits would definitely outweigh the drawbacks.

However, Chen Ze was not a real Digimon; he was just a human who accidentally acquired a Digicore.

This means that when Agumon's Digicore inherits that devouring ability and becomes half an "Invader," Chen Ze's mental data will be completely trapped inside Agumon's body.

In a sense, Chen Ze's mental data was also devoured by the Corruptor.

However, unlike the usual situation, what devoured Chen Ze's spiritual body was not a true Invader, but an Agumon Digicore that inherited some of the Invader's traits.

"I've been looking for a way to turn myself into a Digimon..."

Not wanting to cause Renamon X too much worry, Ashuramon continued to tease in that calm tone.

"That's great, no need to look anymore, I've really become a Digimon now."

Chapter Sixty-Five: Tearing Through Time and Space

The conversation between Renamon X and Ashuramon seemed complicated, but in reality, it only took less than ten seconds from the moment SwordEmmon was defeated to the moment the two got up to leave.

"Swirling and Dancing Dance!"

In that extremely short time, Sword Emperor Beast first used its bladed weapon to sever Asura Beast's four arms, and then raised its right hand to transform the "Impact Cone" into a pure energy defensive form.

Boom! X4

With four consecutive booming explosions, the last flames from the four fire dragons completely illuminated the dark digital space.

Especially the disheveled Sword Emperor Beast, its furious and gloomy expression was clearly exposed in the firelight, just like a demon from hell.

"Damn mutant!!!"

Just as Ashuramon had predicted, SwordEmperormon cannot appear directly in the real world.

Even so, the semi-digital space of Shinjuku subway station contains data of an ultimate level that far exceeds its capacity.

In this era before the digital world has fully emerged, apart from the traditional network, Ultimate-level Digimon can only appear in the EDEN network.

In fact, the previous action of Swordmon using Digital Wave to forcibly tear a spacetime rift between the EDEN network and the subway station was already the limit of what it could do.

Even Sword Emperor Beast himself wasn't sure if he could do it again if he tried.

After all, the disappearance of Lilacmon took away most of the Digiwave, and the remaining Digiwave would probably dissipate automatically soon, making it impossible for it to withstand the power of a power like that of SwordEmperormon.

"If this is the 'result' you wanted, then you have thoroughly enraged me."

This was the first time the Sword Emperor Beast had shown such anger since arriving in the human world.

Theoretically speaking, without the Digital Wave's location tracking, it is indeed impossible for SwordGoldmon to lock onto Shinjuku subway station from among countless digital dimensions.

Not to mention, like before, it almost descended into the real world in its "true form".

However, the reason why a theory is a theory is that reality often does not follow the development of a theory.

Even without the positioning and assistance of DigiWave, SwordGoldmon is still able to extend its power into the real world.

Ultimately, the Digimon Wave is merely a vessel used to guide and carry the power of the Ultimate Digimon; the Digimon itself is the one who truly possesses that power.

Especially the thirteen Royal Knights, who surpass many Ultimate-level beings, possess power that would be considered "god-like" in any world.

Boom!

In an instant, a clear, crisp sound came from all directions.

Then countless huge cracks suddenly burst open, appearing simultaneously in every corner of this digital space.

Vortex... Vortex... Vortex...

Those are rifts leading to countless digital spaces, some from the EDEN network, some from semi-digital spaces, but most from unknown other dimensions.

And in these countless unknown times and spaces, there is the semi-digitalized subway station space of Shinjuku.

"Mutant! I'll make you understand what the Ultimate level truly means!"

As a Royal Knight known for its cruelty and bloodthirstiness, Swordmon is considered to be a rather obsessive type even within the Royal Knights, who are "obsessed with their own justice."

As long as it is justice that he firmly believes in, Sword Emperor Beast doesn't care whether the means are cruel or the behavior is brutal.

Even if it means "ruling the world by absolute force," as long as it can bring temporary peace, Sword Emperor Beast would do it.

It is easy to imagine how reckless, obsessive, and insane the Sword Emperor Beast would become if it were to lose control.

"Even without digital wave positioning, I can still kill you!"

It was obvious that Ashuramon's actions had thoroughly enraged SwordEmperormon.

The shame and anger of being schemed against and even offended by a mere Perfect-level being drove SwordEmperormon to risk being dragged into another dimension in order to show Asuramon just how terrifying it was to provoke him.

There's no need to consider the guidance of digital waves, nor to deliberately control the strength of one's own energy level...

Enraged, SwordEmperormon only needs to swing its sword at the subway station to teach Asuramon what "Ultimate" means.

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

Meanwhile, deep inside Shinjuku subway station.

After being helped up by Renamon X, Ashuramon, who was about to continue complaining, seemed to realize something and suddenly looked up at the ruins around him—danger was coming!

Click...

It was as if it was responding to the intuition of the Asura Beast.

After a crisp sound, hundreds of spacetime rifts similar to the previous ones suddenly appeared out of thin air, surrounding him and the fox demon X.

"Mutant, accept your death sentence!"

Behind those hundreds of spacetime rifts, hundreds of Sword Emperor Beasts shouted in unison.

Those were hundreds of spacetime rifts leading to Shinjuku subway station, selected by the Sword Emperor Beast through "scanning" countless other dimensions.

Although these spacetime rifts are small and unstable.

However, the current Sword Emperor Beast has no intention of descending into the real world, so it doesn't care whether it can pass through these space-time rifts.

Even the Sword Emperor Beast had no intention of temporarily maintaining these spacetime rifts.

All it needs to do is swing its sword with all its might and unleash that devastating strike before these spacetime rifts disappear.

Silence!

In an instant, an incredibly powerful surge of energy appeared on the Sword Emperor Beast's body, and then, as it swung its sword, it also surged out from hundreds of spacetime rifts.

—Rose Impact!

In an instant, a massive amount of energy crossed the barrier of time and space, surging wildly into the Shinjuku subway station in the real world.

"Come on!"

Without time to think, Ashuramon, realizing the danger, disregarded Renamon X's thoughts and used its remaining spatial jump ability to transfer her to the space outside the subway station.

As for Ashuramon itself... it no longer has time to perform spatial teleportation.

So, am I going to die here today?

In the moments before losing consciousness, Ashuramon, though somewhat helpless, chose to face his impending death with equanimity.

Silence!

The next moment, a sword arc nearly a hundred meters long surged out from hundreds of spacetime rifts, completely tearing this space apart.

No, it's not just this already digitized space; even those regions that haven't been digitized have become the "targets" of this sword.

Rumble…

The earth seemed to groan in despair, and Shinjuku Station, covering tens of thousands of square meters, collapsed completely.

From a distance, it looked as if a massive earthquake had struck Tokyo, affecting an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers in radius around Shinjuku Station.

Chapter Sixty-Six: All Actions Are Just

"what is that?!"

All Takumi could do was watch helplessly as the surging energy poured out from the depths of the subway station, utterly destroying everything within his reach.

The air is boiling, buildings are collapsing, and even the earth is sinking...

Faced with that energy release that surpassed that of a nuclear explosion, anything that dared to stand in its way was reduced to ruins.

"The Soul of Digital Technology!"

At the critical moment, a light screen composed entirely of digital text appeared in front of Takumi, shielding him from the fatal energy impact.

Before he could even react, a dark rift suddenly opened beneath his feet, transporting him, along with Zibaigomon and Tiarudmon, to another digital dimension.

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

Above Shinjuku subway station in Tokyo.

"..."

Alphamon silently watched the collapsing earth around it, its face displaying a profound stillness.

At this moment, it was no longer in the form of "Kyoko Mumi," but had transformed back into the aloof royal knight—Alphamon.

A jet-black digital alloy covered Alphamon's entire body like armor, while golden stripes adorned its various parts. Only the cape on its back fluttered in the wind...

If you ignore its vivid humanoid face, the Alpha Beast, which looks like a giant, doesn't resemble a living being at all; it looks more like a high-tech mecha.

However, no matter how Alphamon's appearance changes, deep down it remains the same Dorumon that firmly believes in justice and is willing to sacrifice itself to save the world.

It was precisely because of this that Alphamon, gazing at the huge hole forming beneath its feet and the terrified crowd around it, felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.

If the Japanese hadn't long been accustomed to earthquakes occurring from time to time and hadn't had a mature set of policies for dealing with emergencies and natural disasters, those caught up in this unexpected calamity would have experienced far more than just panic.

Even so, within the sight of Alpha Beast, countless humans were still screaming and wailing, and were not yet truly out of danger.

"Sword Emperor Beast, is this the 'justice' you seek?"

Alphamon understands that Swordmon is conducting various revolutionary experiments in the human world in order to save the Digital World.

But this scene is something Alphamon absolutely cannot accept.

Before things reached their final stage, while all the royal knights were saving the world in their own ways...

The Sword Emperor Beast, driven by its own rage, plunged tens of thousands of humans into disaster—an absolutely unforgivable crime!

However, Alphamon also knows the personalities of the Royal Knights well. As "saviors born when the world is in crisis," each Royal Knight has their own inner convictions and sense of justice.

When necessary, for the sake of their own justice, the Royal Knights are even willing to become enemies of the World Tree, let alone the lives of mere humans.

"Such behavior has gone beyond the scope of 'justice'..."

“You are now using the name of ‘justice’ to commit ‘tyranny’.”

Its hands were already clenched into fists. It believed that if SwordEmperormon appeared in front of Alphamon now, it would definitely give the other a punch without any mercy.
