Chapter 489: This Is Just Too Tragic

Li An stood on a desolate Digital plain, the core power of the Digimon World clutched tightly in his hand, radiating a mysterious glow. Beside him, Yagami Taichi and his Digimon Agumon wore grave expressions as they surveyed the scene before them. In the distance, Koushiro and his Digimon Patamon hurried over as well.

"This... this is just too tragic." Taichi frowned, his eyes filled with shock and anguish. "We have to rebuild the Digimon World as soon as possible."

Li An gave a slight nod, his gaze deep: "Exactly. That's why I called you all here." His voice was low and firm, echoing through the dead-silent Digimon World.

Koushiro adjusted his glasses, a gleam of wisdom flashing in his eyes: "I've been gathering information on the Digimon World, but the scale of destruction this time is truly beyond imagination." His face was written all over with worry.

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try." Li An spoke, tightening his grip on the core power in his hand. A look of unquestionable resolve shone in his eyes, as if telling everyone that no matter how many hardships lay ahead, he would not back down.

The group began discussing reconstruction plans, but the real-world difficulties far exceeded what they had imagined. Every corner of the Digimon World was marked by the traces of dark erosion. The once-vibrant Digital Forest now had only broken walls and ruins left; the once-clear rivers had become turbid and foul, emitting a sickening stench.

"With destruction like this, where do we even start rebuilding?" Taichi scratched his head, his face full of distress.

Li An thought for a moment, then said: "Let's start with the key areas, like the Digimon World's energy hub and data center." His gaze swept across the ruins, trying to locate the energy hub.

Just as the group was about to move, a pack of Digimon suddenly burst out from the ruins. These Digimon still carried the aura of dark power on their bodies, their eyes brimming with vigilance and hostility.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" a Digimon that looked like a Greymon roared loudly, its body leaning forward slightly, striking an attack-ready pose.

Li An stepped forward, trying to explain: "We're from the Menshilai Gang here to help rebuild the Digimon World. We mean no harm." His voice was gentle and sincere, hoping to dispel these Digimon's doubts.

"Help us? Hmph, who knows if you're not in league with the dark forces!" a Garurumon snorted coldly, puffs of freezing air spurting from its mouth.

Faced with these Digimon's doubts, Li An and the others found themselves in a dilemma. They could neither force their way through nor abandon the mission of rebuilding.

"Everyone, don't act rashly. We can explain slowly." Taichi said hurriedly, trying to calm these furious Digimon.

However, these Digimon would not listen to reason. Corroded by dark power, they were filled with distrust toward any outsiders. Suddenly, that Greymon struck first, a blazing jet of flame shooting toward Li An and the others.

"Watch out!" Li An shouted, swiftly dodging to the side. Taichi and Koushiro also hurriedly directed their own Digimon to defend.

"Agumon, digivolve!" Taichi shouted loudly. Agumon instantly digivolved into Greymon, opening its massive jaws and spewing a powerful stream of flame that collided with the other Greymon's fire mid-air, producing a violent explosion..
