Chapter 279

The process of making the Evolution Armor is nothing more than using the Device to extract the Dark Data from LadyDevimon's Body.

The extracted Dark Data is reverse-infused into the Digivice, then Moleculemon compresses the Dark Data that entered and programs the Evolution Armor.

The whole process lasted a little over a minute before LadyDevimon's figure changed from humanoid to BlackTailmon's cat form.

Once all the Dark Data entered the Digivice, the Digivice also transformed into an egg-shaped Evolution Armor bearing the imprint of a demon wing pattern.

And BlackTailmon's fur also changed from pitch-black color to pure white, and the Holy Ring on its tail regained a golden luster.

"How does it feel?"

Broly leaned over and asked.

"My mind has become clear, no strange thoughts surfacing anymore."

Tailmon replied.

"Eh, when you were LadyDevimon, did any strange thoughts surface?"

Broly asked curiously.

"It's just... I always wanted to play with your tail."

Tailmon answered somewhat embarrassedly.

"What about now?"

Broly asked, extending his own tail and waving it in front of Tailmon.

"Meow?"

At this, Tailmon directly lay down on the Iron Bed and raised her cat paws, making a reaction much like an ordinary cat teased by cat grass.

She scratched at the swaying tail, and only after biting the boy's tail did she belatedly react.

"Abu, this was just a subconscious reaction."

Tailmon felt a bit awkward, and only then let go of the boy's tail.

"It's fine, liking to play with my tail isn't a problem."

Broly rubbed Tailmon's cat head; compared to BlackTailmon, the current Tailmon's fur was equally soft and smooth, only her Body Temperature was obviously higher than BlackTailmon's.

"So this is the Evolution Armor, not ready yet?"

After checking and finding the devolved Tailmon had no issues, Broly leaned over to the Compression Device and asked Moleculemon beside it.

"Right now it's just testing the internal data stability of the Dark Evolution Armor, and from the test data it looks like there shouldn't be any problems."

"This Evolution Armor is really big, practically like a Digimental; do I have to carry it around from now on?"

At this time, Tailmon also leaned over, looking at the Evolution Armor and asking.

"This is just the manifested form after Dark Data compression; if you want to carry it, you can use the Crest Loader beside it to Store the data..."

As Moleculemon spoke he operated it, the Dark Evolution Armor turned into flowing light and flew into the Crest Loader; with a flash of black light, the Crest Loader became a small Iron Chain with a pendant bearing demon bat wings hanging at the front.

"The form can still change, but to maintain smooth Data Transmission, this Dark Data self-modifying Accessory is the best form right now."

Moleculemon handed the pendant to Broly; Broly took it and felt it was a bit cold, then passed it to Tailmon beside him.

"Then how do I use it to re-evolve into LadyDevimon?"

After Tailmon hung the pendant around her Neck, she asked Moleculemon how to use the Evolution Armor.

"You can use Consciousness to control the pendant to guide out Dark Data, but this requires training to skillfully operate.

Before that, the simplest trigger method is to use the Holy Ring on your tail to strike this pendant that Stores the Dark Evolution Armor data."

"Like this?"

Tailmon tried it once; vast Dark Data surged from the pendant, dyeing Tailmon's fur black, and in less than two seconds she completely re-evolved to Ultimate level, returning to LadyDevimon state.

"Then how do I change back?"

LadyDevimon asked.

"Just think about compressing the Dark Energy back in."

The Dark Data converged again, and LadyDevimon turned back into Tailmon.

Devolve evolve devolve...

Tailmon played with the freshly forged Dark Evolution Armor's switch, repeatedly jumping between Tailmon and LadyDevimon states.

But after playing a while, Tailmon showed a somewhat tired look: "What's going on, why do I feel so tired."

"Evolution and devolution inherently consume data energy; each time you evolve and devolve it's like releasing a Finisher-level Trick, feeling tired is normal."

Moleculemon explained from the side, and recorded the number of Tailmon's devolution-evolutions: "Around 17 times Tailmon feels fatigue, but evolved into LadyDevimon state, because of Dark Data filling, she still has no feeling of fatigue."

"I'm hungry, Abu."

Tailmon covered her growling Stomach and sat down.

"Here, this is Fried Rice Bread from the Convenience Store."

Broly took out food from his space and handed it to Tailmon.

"Thank you, Abu!"

Tailmon happily accepted the Fried Rice Bread and started eating heartily.

"Piximon, Moleculemon, do you want bread?"

Broly didn't forget the two Digimon beside him, and asked them too.

"Gluttony Beast King, I am a Mechanical Digimon, I don't eat Normal Food data, but if you have good Machine Oil or mechanical parts, you can give them to me."

"I don't, but I'll keep an eye out for you in the future."

Broly looked at Piximon.

"Thanks."

Piximon did accept the Fried Rice Bread, but after one bite she looked like she had no appetite.

"What's wrong, Piximon, you seem to have had something on your mind since you came back."

Broly asked curiously, and Digimon also looked over.

"Hey, it's just that Son Goku Beast is already gone, causing trouble."

"Huh?"

Seeing the two were clueless, Fairy Beast explained to Broly and Digimon about the Chosen Children.

"Originally, after those Chosen Children defeated the Demon Beast of Lawful Island, they were supposed to come to this side of Server Continent to defeat Son Goku Beast, but now that you've dealt with Son Goku Beast, things have become difficult."

"What's so difficult about it? Isn't it good that Son Goku Beast died early?"

Digimon asked confusedly, but seemed to have a sharp-tongued attribute.

"You don't understand. Son Goku Beast is called an enemy, but it's actually a whetstone for the Chosen Children..."

【Son Goku Beast is a whetstone for the Chosen Children, Fairy Beast, are you serious?】

Molecule Beast looked at Broly beside him, really wanting to ask that, but still held back. "Normally, Chosen Children selected by the Holy Plan, after coming to the Digital World, are generally teleported to some small places, starting by facing the first Champion-level Dark Forces Digimon."

After defeating the Champion-level Dark Forces Digimon of the small place, they will then be arranged to enter larger server areas, such as Server Continent, to confront more powerful Dark Forces Digimon.

In this process, the Chosen Children will gradually improve the strength of their partner Digimon.

Until they can defeat the Dark Four Heavenly Kings, who stand at the top of the Dark Forces and now rule this world.

"Dark Four Heavenly Kings?"

"They are four powerful Ultimate-level Digimon, Gluttony Beast, you don't know?"

Broly shook his head.

Regarding this, Fairy Beast was somewhat speechless, not knowing which remote server corner Gluttony Beast had grown from to reach this point, but still explained.

"In the distant past, the Digital World had two gods: one was the World Tree, the other was Constancy. They did not interfere with each other's authority, managing this world."

Until one day, they discovered the existence of the Real World, and discovered the connection between the Digital World and the Real World, as well as the situation where, with the passage of time, the two worlds were drawing closer and would eventually overlap in the future.

Regarding this, the attitudes of the World Tree and Constancy were different. The World Tree believed the Real World was a threat and prepared to send Digimon to the Real World to resolve the threat of the Real World by force before the Real World and Digital World overlapped.

Constancy, however, believed that the Digital World was born relying on the Real World's Internet, and believed that the World Tree's militant approach would bring unpredictable disasters to both worlds.

But unfortunately, Constancy could not persuade the World Tree.

Thus, Constancy joined forces with the four strongest Ultimate-level Digimon of the Digital World at that time, using the power of the Four Holy Beasts, to launch a surprise attack on the World Tree, and successfully sealed the militant World Tree.

But just as Constancy was considering how to handle the problem of the two worlds gradually approaching and eventually overlapping, the Dark Four Heavenly Kings suddenly appeared.

Just as the Four Holy Beasts had once ambushed the World Tree, the Dark Four Heavenly Kings also ambushed the Four Holy Beasts, defeated them in a short time, and completed the sealing of the Four Holy Beasts..."

From Fairy Beast's mouth, Broly and Digimon heard the secrets of the Digital World from a distant era.

"Then are the Dark Four Heavenly Kings Digimon of the World Tree?"

Digimon asked curiously.

"Yes, but also no. The Dark Four Heavenly Kings are apostles of the World Tree, but they do not completely obey the World Tree..."

At least, after sealing the Four Holy Beasts and obtaining the rule of the Digital World, the Dark Four Heavenly Kings had no intention of unsealing the World Tree, but instead maintained a relatively delicate balance with Constancy.

The Dark Four Heavenly Kings suppressed the forces of the Light Faction on one hand, but on the other hand secretly held back. They had once attacked the Research Institute of the Holy Plan, but at critical moments, Clown King would intentionally let data Tool Persons like Old Man Xuan Nei, created by Constancy, escape, taking some Digivices, Digimentals, and Badges.

With such thunderous but rainless attacks happening more and more, Constancy also figured out the thoughts of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings: they simply didn't want another leader like the World Tree, who had the final say, appearing above their heads.

Similarly, the Dark Four Heavenly Kings did not want the Light Faction to regain strength, thereby affecting their rule over the Digital World.

Leaving Constancy's forces to jump around was considered sending a signal to the World Tree: 【Look, it's not that we Four Heavenly Kings don't want to unseal the great World Tree you.

But rather, Constancy's power is interfering with us. If we don't deal with Constancy, how can we have enough confidence to unseal you?】

On the other hand, the Four Heavenly Kings also knew that the Digital World would overlap with the Real World in the future, and did not dare to push Constancy, who was carrying out the Holy Plan, too hard.

If Constancy's Holy Plan was completely ruined, causing Constancy to believe that war was inevitable after the two worlds overlapped in the future, they might just actively release the militant World Tree.

Therefore, the Dark Four Heavenly Kings and Constancy had a tacit understanding: the Holy Plan could be carried out, but it could not be done openly on a large scale.

Otherwise, the sealed World Tree was not blind. If it discovered the Dark Four Heavenly Kings were slacking off, it might just create new Dark Four Heavenly Kings to replace them.

Of course, tacitly allowing Constancy's forces to continue carrying out the Holy Plan in the dark did not mean the Dark Four Heavenly Kings would completely ignore the danger of such a potential threat.

So, after ruling the Digital World, the Dark Four Heavenly Kings recruited soldiers and bought horses in various adaptation areas of the Digital World, stationing some Digimon who had defected to their Dark Forces in various places in the Digital World.

And these Dark Forces Digimon were the Sword Gatekeepers. The Dark Four Heavenly Kings would not actively block the newbie areas of Chosen Children that posed no threat to themselves.

But if the Chosen Children were killed by the Sword Gatekeeper Digimon of the newbie area, or scared into not daring to rescue (interfere with) their rule over the Digital World, then it was none of their business.

"Son Goku Beast is not a subordinate of the Four Heavenly Kings, but it also abides by the rules of Dark Forces Digimon, tacitly agreeing to deal with the Chosen Children."

"Its strength is not bad, but its brain is not too good. Originally it was not bad, a suitable object to train the Chosen Children, but..."

"Wait, Fairy Beast, you seem to pity it so much. That Son Goku Beast, surely it wasn't you who brought it to Server Continent, right?"

Molecule Beast asked.

"How is that possible..."

Fairy Beast denied it outright, but whether it was actually her who brought Son Goku Beast was hard to say.

And previously, the Digimon King of Server Continent was Molecule Beast.

Before losing his memory, Molecule Beast belonged to the Steel Empire.

Although he had no loyalty, he was indeed one of the Four Heavenly Kings, a Digimon under the Mechanical Evil Dragon Beast faction.

Molecule Beast: "......"

Hesitating whether she was on the enemy list, plus there was a Champion-level Fairy Beast like this, but after thinking it over, he felt there was no need. The grudge from his previous life had already ended when Son Goku Beast was taken down.

The him now was just the him now, not the him before losing memory data. There was no need to bear a grudge against Fairy Beast who was merely somewhat suspicious.

Well, there were two more reasons for Molecule Beast to give up regarding her as an enemy: one was that he probably couldn't beat Fairy Beast, and the other was that Gluttony Beast King, whom he now defected to, seemed to have a good relationship with Fairy Beast because of his partner Digimon Digimon.

"It's just a whetstone. You can let those ordinary Chosen Children go directly to the island beside Server Continent to find trouble with Vampire Beast."

However, not treating Fairy Beast as an enemy was one thing, causing trouble for her was another.

"The Vampire Beast next door is also a strong type among Champions. Letting a group of children who haven't even made their partner Digimon evolve to Champion go fight him. Molecule Beast, you bastard, do you want those Chosen Children to die?"

【This Fairy Beast bastard seems to not know the true identities of Gluttony Beast and Digimon...】

The Molecule Beast thought to itself.

"Fairy Beast, actually I..."

Just as Broly was preparing to confidently introduce himself as one of the 'Chosen Children', the Molecule Beast interrupted: "King Glutton Beast, Diromon digivolving to Angewomon requires massive Vaccine species data."

"Uh, so what?"

"I have an idea here; you can act as the role of Son Goku Beast, helping Fairy Beast give those Chosen Children about to arrive at the Server Continent some training."

"Huh?!"

Fairy Beast widened its eyes.

"And during the training process, you slightly plunder the Vaccine species data on those Chosen Children's Partner Digimon—isn't that also a natural thing?"

The Molecule Beast talked confidently.

"Ah, how to plunder, eat their Digimon?"

Broly was somewhat confused.

"No."

Fairy Beast quickly objected.

"There's no need to eat them; I will specially create a device to absorb data. King Glutton Beast, you just need to let those Chosen Children's Partner Digimon digivolve, then control them to intercept the evolution data temporarily converted from human emotion inside their bodies, and let them devolve—that's all."

"Huh, this works too?"

Beside them, Fairy Beast listened, its eyes growing brighter.

"This seems indeed possible."
