Digimon: I really didn't want to be the Digimon Emperor!

"Huh? This is... rewriting the evolutionary code?"

Cheng Yuan also realized that this evolutionary process seemed different from his own transfer evolution.

The Silver Mirror Beast's body gradually became transparent, like a piece of glass that had been burned through. Then, the entire beast transformed into a stream of light and merged into the green sphere at the very top.

The ball suddenly expanded, continuously absorbing high-level programming language code, and then the outline of a silver mirror beast vaguely emerged.

Immediately afterwards, the other nine green spheres also lit up, each displaying the outline of the Silver Mirror Beast. Ten magic spheres, ten beams of silver light, intertwined and shone in the air.

Cheng Yuan had already raised his hand, dark red light gathering between his fingers, ready to make a move at any moment.

Other Digimon are also preparing to make their move.

Ultimately, the entire evolved form merged into one, eventually reverting to the form of the Silver Mirror Beast.

However, within the mirror inside the Silver Mirror Beast's abdominal cavity, ten magic orbs floated according to the ten-point matrix of the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

The Silver Mirror Beast looked at its hands, then looked down at the magic orbs inside its belly.

The Digimon, preparing to deal with the rampaging Digimon, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Cheng Yuan: "Is it over?"

The Silver Mirror Beast's face remained expressionless: "It seems to be over."

Cheng Yuan looked around; everyone had dropped their stance. "No transfer evolution? No berserk mode?"

Silver Mirror Beast said, "It seems like there's no reaction... Just now, when it seemed like it was about to undergo a transfer evolution, I subconsciously used the chaos algorithm to rewrite the evolution program..."

Rewriting the evolution program? Is this the mark of a top programmer? Unable to resist fixing even the smallest bug?

Cheng Yuan continued, "How do you feel?"

The Silver Mirror Beast pulled a magic ball radiating a fiery aura from the belly of the silver mirror, and then threw it forward...

The magic ball suddenly expanded in the air, and a red silver mirror beast appeared in the data light.

Cheng Yuan: "..."

Good grief, are you throwing a Poké Ball?

Chapter 637 The Southern Heavenly Gate Plan

With a wave of its hand, the Silver Mirror Beast released nine magic orbs, which transformed and exploded into nine different colored data beams, which then transformed into nine Silver Mirror Beasts with different attributes.

Cheng Yuan was dazzled by the mirrors on these silver mirror beasts.

"Did it work?" he asked.

"It's done." The Silver Mirror Beast clapped its hands, its tone filled with barely concealed excitement: "They are called Magic Ball Silver Mirror Beasts, each corresponding to nine different attributes. Each one has the strength of a peak mature stage and can switch back and forth between the Silver Mirror Beast and Magic Ball forms."

Cheng Yuan looked around and found that the attributes matched up: fire, ice, wind, earth, wood, light, lightning, darkness, and water. There were nine magic ball silver mirror beasts, plus the steel attribute of the original silver mirror beast, making a total of ten.

[Wealth Points -100]

[A dozen or so Silver Mirror Beasts]

[Mutant? Sudden Mutation Type? Steel-based]

[Hybrid (Complete Level)]

[Skills: Rumble Mixed Number, Triple Return, Ten-Attribute Clone, Matrix Computing Power Resonance]

[Introduction: Its body is composed of ten eyeballs, corresponding to the ten attributes of the ten warriors. Its prototype originates from the Kabbalah Tree of Life. Through self-rewriting and sudden mutation, the ten attribute magic orbs have been completely transformed into independent parts of itself, possessing the ability to transform into the Magic Orb Silver Mirror Beast. However, only the main magic orb with a mouth possesses the ability to speak.]

"Tsk tsk." Cheng Yuan leaned over and circled around, then patted the shoulder of the fiery red silver mirror beast. The texture was exactly the same as the metal shell of the original beast. "So, they are your clones?"

“It’s even closer to my clones.” The Silver Mirror Beast patted its head. “They share my thoughts completely, which is like ten bodies sharing the same main brain. Whatever I think of, they know it too. And the computing power is also shared. With ten computing powers piled together, it’s many times faster than before when processing programming tasks.”

It paused for a moment, and the light spots on the mirror surface flickered. "Teacher, to be honest, this excites me even more than simply evolving into my complete form. With ten bodies doing different tasks at the same time, I finally don't have to run back and forth anymore."

"When they converge into the mirrors in my abdominal cavity to form the Kabbalah Tree of Life, I will be able to unleash the combat power of a mid-level fully formed being. As my knowledge fruit grows, this combat power will continue to increase."

Cheng Yuan was also very satisfied with the mutation result. For the Gear Beast, which was good at calculation and programming and had huge computing power, it was simply tailor-made.

With a wave of its hand, the nine Silver Mirror Beasts turned around in unison and marched out in neat steps, heading towards different groups on the construction site, which caused quite a stir.

Watching from the side, Zhao Lu couldn't help but sigh, "If I had so many bodies, I'd probably have a split personality."

Schizophrenia? Cheng Yuan thought to himself, "The Angewomon next to you has already split its soul into five separate entities: Hinatamon, Sanzomon, Bastimon, LadyDevimon, and Jeannemon. Each of these separate entities has its own independent personality."

The Silver Mirror Beast remained standing in place, its main body and nine clones sharing consciousness, seemingly experiencing the novel feeling of "10 threads operating in parallel".

Cheng Yuan walked over and patted it on the shoulder: "Don't rush to play yet. I want to talk to you about the Ark."

The Silver Mirror Beast projected a blueprint from the mirror, and the blue light unfolded into a three-dimensional model in the air.

A silver-white, bird-shaped aircraft floated in the air, with a wingspan estimated at seventy or eighty meters. Its streamlined shell was covered with a dense array of data interfaces.

“Compared to the Association’s Ark, it has combat power at the fully evolved level.” The Silver Mirror Beast tapped the wing with its claw. “I plan to optimize the core propulsion system using a chaos algorithm, and the flight speed should be 20% faster than the Association’s ship. But I haven’t figured out how to handle the defense yet.”

Cheng Yuan stared at the blueprint for half a minute. "Why not be bolder?"

The Silver Mirror Beast turned its head to look at him.

"The supercomputing center in the capital can build a fully-fledged bird-shaped ark, but we have the chaos algorithm, which has a much higher efficiency in converting computing power into output. Why not give it a try..." Cheng Yuan drew a large circle in the air with his hand, "...build an ultimate-level ark?"

The eyes on the surface of the Silver Mirror Beast suddenly lit up.

Cheng Yuan continued, getting more and more excited: "Using the Ark as the core command platform, coupled with a complete defense system, for example..."

Cheng Yuan counted on his fingers: "A giant mobile fortress comparable to Lark City, an aerospace fortress, aerospace fighters, a swarm-sized cluster of micro-fighters, ground armed mechs, a complete air-land integrated mechanized combat system, from the air to the ground, the whole system is connected together."

Zhao Lu listened from the side, the pen on her tablet hovering in mid-air. "If your idea could really come to fruition..." she swallowed hard, "the significance of guarding the digital dimensional portal would be immense. But do you know how many resources and energy that would require?"

The Sky Island of Lak City is hailed as a marvel of the Digital World; that level of mobile fortress is comparable to rebuilding Lak City itself. You're just asking for a complete set? That would require a massive amount of resources, the energy of countless Honest Cities.

“I know,” Cheng Yuan said. “So let’s try a different approach. What if we use Digimon to train them?”

Silver Mirror Beast and Zhao Lu both looked at him.

“What if we use Digimon to raise them?” Cheng Yuan said. “We can design evolution templates for them using the Super Data Ark, and then use Digimon to build up the mechanical structures. Instead of relying solely on resource smelting, we can follow the digital evolution route and ‘pour’ resources into them using the Super Data Ark.”

The mirror surface of the Silver Mirror Beast began to glow, a reaction to its high-speed computing state. Zhao Lu opened her mouth as if to say something, then closed it again, lowering her head to quickly scribble a few lines on the tablet.

“Your idea,” Zhao Lu looked up, her expression somewhat complicated, “requires a large number of mechanical Digimon with the potential to grow into Perfect or even Ultimate level Digimon. Where are we going to find so many high-quality, genius mechanical Digimon?”

“I might have a way,” Cheng Yuan said.

The system's "spiritual seeding" function has been lying dormant for a long time. As long as you have wealth points, you can plant spiritual seeds and upgrade them to the ultimate form without any problem.

It just consumes a lot of wealth points.

Zhao Lu looked at him suspiciously. "Where did you get this idea?"

Cheng Yuan said, "No need to rush, take it slow. You have to eat one bite at a time. We can start designing and cultivating with the goal of achieving a complete body, and build the basic framework first."

Zhao Lu chewed on her pen cap and thought for a while: "This plan needs a name. It can't be called something as common as 'Project Ark'."

Cheng Yuan sat up straight and raised his chin slightly: "Let's call it 'Project Nantianmen'."

With Cheng Yuan's ideas in mind, the Silver Mirror Beast turned around and went to refine the blueprint for the South Heavenly Gate project. Zhao Lu also exited her Shuz Beast form, looked at her tablet, and began to allocate manpower and resources.

She sighed as she walked, "Relying solely on the Qilin Group and the Super Data Ark is definitely not enough. We need to bring in the Aerospace Digital Research Institute, and we also need to discuss cooperation with the Yushu Group. You can't even imagine how much technological reserves are behind a sky island like Lak City..."

"You decide what to do," Cheng Yuan called out to her retreating figure.

Zhao Lu didn't even turn her head, just waved her hand and muttered, "The boss just opens his mouth, and the employees run themselves ragged..."

Cheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief once she was out of sight. The three Armor Spirits had returned, and Mo had retreated back into his consciousness space.

He found a quiet corner to sit down and took out the sacred stone tablet from his pocket.

He took a deep breath and channeled a wisp of digital spiritual energy into the stone slab. The energy seeped in along the stone's veins, and a soft white halo began to emanate from its surface.

"Stone tablet, oh stone tablet, please tell me, what Digimon is born carrying the X-virus and its antibodies?"

A halo of light began to swirl on the stone slab, and lines of text emerged one after another. The text was ancient digital runes, but Cheng Yuan had dealt with the sacred stone slab several times and could read it fluently.

"Digimon born with X-program and antibodies: Dorumon, Dragonmon..."

Cheng Yuan inexplicably thought of Teacher Li Haixing and her partner, the Silver Dragon Beast.

Cheng Yuan paused for a moment when he saw the words "Dragon-Snake Beast." A name immediately popped into his mind: Teacher Li Haixing, whose partner was a Silver Dragon Beast. So the Silver Dragon Beast was actually in its X form; no wonder its combat power was so outrageous.

However, who would dare to use Li Haixing's Silver Dragon Beast as a guinea pig...

"Change it, change it," Cheng Yuan quickly shook his head. Who would dare use Professor Li Haixing's partner for experiments? That would be asking for trouble.

As for the Dorumon...

Haha, he doesn't want to court death.

The text on the stone slab turned a page.

"Little Wolf Beast, Phantom Edge Beast."

Cheng Yuan stared at the two names for a while.

He vaguely remembered the little wolf beast. Cai Yongying's demon wolf beast evolved from the little wolf beast. It was said that a lot of effort was put into smuggling it from Ideal Country back then, and there were only a few of them in the entire Dongda University.

As for the Phantom Blade Beast...

Cheng Yuan pressed the stone slab for an answer: "Where can I find the Illusionary Blade Beast?"

"The main habitat is the floating base 'Royal Base'. The base is located high in the Digital World and will move to areas with many flowers, where Phantommon will fly down to forage for food."

Cheng Yuan waited, but no new words appeared on the stone slab. "Where is the base?" he asked.

The stone slab remained silent.

"You do not know?"

It seems that even the mysterious stone tablet doesn't know where the base is.

Is there really no other way?

The stone slab remained silent. Cheng Yuan sighed and poured a large amount of spiritual energy of light into it. The mysterious text on the stone slab continued to flash: "Small groups of creatures will camp in areas with abundant flowers to survey nectar data. In the Dark Flower Sea of ​​the Spider Tower region, there are suspected traces of Phantom Blade Beasts."

Spider Tower.

Cheng Yuan remembered, wasn't that the Dark Tower that Wang Wei mentioned had a conflict with Honest City?

It seems necessary to take a trip around the Spider Tower. Before, I was only at the Champion stage, and I was always on edge wherever I went in the Honkai Digital World. Now, at least I'm at the Ultimate stage, and I have Angewomon, Hakuryumon, MarineAngemon, and the three silly goose monsters from Journey to the West by my side. It's time to expand my range of activities.

"White Dragon Horse Beast," he called out.

The white dragon horse emerged from the arc light machine, and Cheng Yuan mounted its back, patting its neck. "Head southeast to the Spider Tower."

With a neigh, White Dragon Horse Beast headed towards the southeast gate. Angewomon spread its wings and flew alongside Cheng Yuan, while a large group of Digimon companions followed behind, riding on Etemon's Flying Nimbus.

The Spider Tower is more than 500 kilometers southeast of Honesty City, and the journey involves passing along the edge of the Dark Heart Tower region.

The name Dark Spider Tower comes from the fact that it is a vast area inhabited by insect-type Digimon, and its environment is highly compatible with insect-type Digimon.

This region is dominated by many insect-type Ultimate-level Digimon, with the Spider Queen having the largest territory.

The Spider Queen, also known as the fully evolved Archimon, is commonly referred to as the Spider Demon in Honest City.

Inside Honest City, Major General Lin Zexian received news that Cheng Yuan had headed northeast. After a moment of stunned silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

The soldier who came to report immediately said, "Reporting to the general, it was sent by the garrison at the southeast gate, and there was also a video recording. He said he accepted a mission around the Pan Si Tower."

Lin Zexian slammed his pen on the table, annoyed, and said, "Eight hundred kilometers deep into enemy territory alone, so what if his Gatomon can temporarily evolve into Angewomon? Is he courting death?"

Lin Zexian couldn't help but curse.

The guard didn't dare to reply.

Lin Zexian took a few steps inside the room. He was all too familiar with the area around the Spider Tower. While those insect-type Digimon were troublesome, they were never the real danger.

The real danger in the Spider Tower area sometimes isn't the powerful insects, but the poisonous insects, poisonous trees, poisonous miasma, and large amounts of red fog that live there!

The area around the Spider Tower is full of poisonous insects, poisonous trees, and poisonous miasma. The grass growing on the ground is corrosive, and the pollen floating in the air can paralyze the nervous system.

There is also a large area of ​​red mist. If Digimon consume too much of it, their bodies will mutate and go berserk, devouring each other's Digicores, and they may even turn into zombie Digimon without Digicores.

That place has the most poisonous Digimon, and many non-Digimon creatures are also poisonous. Even Ultimate-level Digimon dare not easily come into contact with it. The professional trainers and hunters of Honesty City basically only dare to linger in the surrounding area and are unwilling to go deeper.

Let alone ordinary professional beast tamers, even master-level beast tamers with fully-equipped partners wouldn't go there.

Once the poisonous miasma in the Spider Tower riots, one is likely to be trapped inside and die a terrible death.

Knowing that Cheng Yuan had gone there, Lin Zexian was furious, muttering, "This reserve general, why did he have to go into the Spider Tower! Wouldn't it be better to stay in the real world and develop for a few more years?"

They are actually the most reluctant to let their geniuses take unnecessary risks and die young when they should be developing.
