Chapter 294: Wife's Digimon Form 1

Broly was very happy to hear news of Tai Yagami and the others, and today was destined to be a day of double happiness, as the Dirumon in the Data Absorption Room was also about to enter a new Ultimate Evolution phase.

"Gluttony Beast King, Lord Dirumon is about to evolve."

After debugging the data many times, they detected the prerequisite data needed to evolve into Lilimon one by one; after over a month of debugging and testing, Dirumon was finally going to attempt evolving into a brand new form, and two Lilimon ran over to call Broly to come watch.

"Good, I'll head over right now."

Not wanting to miss witnessing the new Wife Form appear, Broly naturally wouldn't miss it; he had approved Moleculomon's idea of using captured Digimon as new Data Cows, so he hurriedly followed the two Lilimon running toward the Data Absorption Room.

"Dirumon, are you alright?"

Broly ran over following the Lilimon, looked at Dirumon lying on the Data Absorption Platform, and asked directly.

"I'm fine, just feeling a bit bloated in my body."

This was only natural, because Dirumon was just a tiny bit of data away from being able to undergo Ultimate Evolution again.

"It's just, I'm a little uneasy, and I want you, Abu, to stay by my side."

Digimon evolution is not natural; it carries risks.

Once it fails, at best they turn into Nanimon, at worst they die directly.

They won't even have the chance to return to the Original Village as data.

Of course, with Dirumon's situation of artificially manipulated data, the probability of evolution failure is extremely small.

"Good, I'll stay right by your side."

Broly held Dirumon's cat paw; Dirumon showed a relieved expression and absorbed the last bit of evolution data into her body.

Green light surged from within her body, wrapping around Dirumon's body; unlike Cactumon blooming and bearing fruit to give birth to Lilimon, this time Dirumon's body began reorganizing within the evolution data.

And while in the evolution state, she didn't know how much time had passed; when she opened her eyes again, she saw pink petals scattering all around.

"Did I evolve successfully?"

The "Dirumon" looked toward the boy still holding her hand, and saw Broly's slightly stunned expression; she asked nervously, her voice much softer than when she was Dirumon, giving off the feeling of the girl next door.

"Uh, it was a success, but it seems a bit different from us."

The Lilimon brought a mirror, and the "Dirumon" saw her new form in it.

"This isn't Lilimon, right?"

Although the color scheme is very similar to Lilimon, the appearance still has quite large differences.

"You evolved into Lilacmon, the legendary Flower Fairy Digimon."

Moleculomon, who had walked in, answered this question.

"Ah, but I absorbed data in the direction of Lilimon, so why did I evolve into Lilacmon?"

Dirumon felt she was supposed to evolve into Lilimon, not some Lilacmon.

"This should be the result of a different starting point; although the data was adjusted as much as possible to evolve in the direction of Lilimon.

Ultimately the data inside you is still Dirumon's, and still has some differences from Cactumon, and this subtle difference caused the Ultimate form you evolved using Pure Data to be the result of Lilacmon."

This is the only explanation Moleculomon could think of; although the Digimon Evolution Chain is net-like, the final evolution result is still influenced by the starting form; compared to Cactumon's starting data, Dirumon is obviously more suited to evolving into Lilacmon.

But this can't be called bad; as the same Fairy-type Ultimate Digimon, with the same data volume, Lilacmon is a bit more powerful than Lilimon.

"But this isn't Lilimon, Abu wanted Lilimon..."

The promise was to evolve into Lilimon, but now it's evolved into Lilacmon.

Lilacmon fears the boy might dislike her because of this.

"It's fine, evolving into Lilacmon is pretty good too; this is also a form I wanted to obtain."

Broly comforted Lilacmon; now on the Crystal Palace Panel, next to Angewomon/LadyDevimon, another Lilacmon indicator had appeared.

Obviously, this is also one of the Wife Identities.

"Eh, Abu, are you serious?"

"Have I ever deceived you?"

Lilacmon pounced over, hugged the boy's neck, looking very happy.

Her body scent is also fragrant, but different from Lilimon's scent.

Lilimon's is a fresh fragrance, while Lilacmon's is a faint fragrance.

Her body is very light; the pale pink skirt edges are actually hands, inside which are pale yellow pistils.

According to Moleculomon's description, Lilacmon's hand pistils can produce various types of pollen for different uses, and can also release countless tiny light beams of Lilac Rain.

She tried the power, and very easily matched Lilimon's Flower Fairy Cannon, but whether it's because the form itself is superior to Lilimon, or simply because Dirumon's evolved Lilacmon has stronger data than Lilimon, that's not too easy to distinguish.

"The feeling of Lilacmon's skirt-edge hands and feet is weird; I still want normal hands and feet."

During the process of getting used to Lilacmon's posture, because Dirumon wasn't a Plant-type Digimon from the start, she's a bit unaccustomed to the skirt-edge type of hands and feet.

"The Digivice is already prepared; we can compress and create the Natural Evolution Armor of Pure Data at any time."

Moleculomon had prepared early; Lilacmon's data was ultimately compressed into a Flower Petal Pendant.

"I can already imagine the sight of my neck hung full of pendants in the future."

Dirumon complained a sentence, but still hung the Flower Petal Pendant on her own neck.

The next day, the Piximon who came over heard that Dirumon had unlocked a new Ultimate form, and congratulated Dirumon.

Then, it took out what it brought and handed it to Broly beside it: "I took Dirumon's data back to have Gennai test it; she is indeed one of the Partner Digimon, and this is the Digivice the old man Gennai re-issued for you all; with this thing, you should also be able to provide evolution data for Dirumon."

"Thanks, Piximon."

Broly said thanks, very happily accepting the Digivice Piximon brought; he had long wanted to learn from the other Chosen Children and provide Emotional Data to his own Partner Digimon, but before his Digivice melted and had already been made into Dark Evolution Armor, he didn't have this opportunity to show his Bond with Dirumon.

"Dirumon, then let's try the proper Chosen Child and Partner Digimon evolution method."

"Oh!"

Dirumon's interest was also very high; she also wanted to try what Agumon and the others spoke of — the feeling of the Partner's Emotion entering her body and power surging out all at once.

Broly and Dirumon ran to the training ground.

"Dilumon, evolve!"

Broly held his exclusive Digivice, his heart surging with excitement as he shouted at Dilumon, who had arrived and stood firm in the field.

"Hmm~~~"

Dilumon held his breath for a while, yet discovered that nothing entered his body, nor did any power well up from within his body internal. "What's going on, is this thing broken?"

Broly also looked at the Digivice in his hand with some puzzlement.

"Is there a possibility that the Digivice helps Partner Digimon below Champion evolve, but Dilumon is currently a Champion Digimon, and moreover a Partner Digimon that can maintain Champion in its normal state?"

Palmon covered her face, giving a reminder.

"Uh, then what use is this thing to us? Could it still make Dilumon devolve into Tokomon, then use this thing to evolve into Dilumon again?"

Broly looked at the Digivice in his hand, somewhat speechless.

"Cooperating with the Crest of Light, it can unlock Angewomon's Super Evolution."

Nanomon said from the side.

"But where is the Crest of Light now?"

Well, no one could answer this question.

"As long as the Crest appears within close range, the Holy Plan's Digivice should have a reaction."

Searching for the Crest is inherently a matter of some luck; of course, for the Chosen Children, with the Holy Plan's guidance, there is a kind of destined feeling.

However, Broly and Dilumon's side cannot be calculated by common sense; Palmon could only give a relatively reliable method for finding the Crest of Light.

"Gluttony King, please give me the exclusive Digivice in your hand."

Nanomon suddenly spoke.

"Nanomon, this Digivice bound to the Holy Plan isn't so easily manufactured; you mustn't break it."

Palmon hurriedly gave a reminder.

"Rest assured, I'm not going to dismantle it for analysis, but to copy its detection system, so the imitation Digivices I fabricate here can also possess the function of searching for the Crest of Light."

Nanomon took the Digivice bound to Dilumon, typed a burst at the computer, and after copying the detection system inside, returned the Digivice to Broly.

"This way, the Digimon under the Gluttony King's forces can also carry these imitation Digivices and help search for traces of the Crest of Light together."

Palmon: "..."

Crest of Light's whereabouts unknown?

No problem.

Directly mobilize hundreds or thousands of Digimon, carrying imitation Digivices to dig three feet into the ground searching.

As long as the Crest of Light is still on the Server Continent, there is absolutely no fear of not finding it.

A very bold search method, but only Broly, who has a large number of Digimon following under his command, could do this.

In the Great Forest Area, a Vamdemon inside a Forest Castle abruptly felt a chill.

Vamdemon frowned, not knowing where this ominous feeling came from; his gaze turned again to the Devimon who had his ankles bound by an iron chain, was hung roasting over a stove, still constantly shouting pleas for mercy but was already somewhat out of breath.

Before the expedition, this guy patted his chest guaranteeing he'd handle that group of Chosen Children, but by dawn he fled back in a sorry state and told him about losing a Champion Digimon corps, making the Vamdemon who was preparing to sleep very angry.

However...

Blood-colored energy shot from Vamdemon's fingertips, grazing the iron chain on Devimon's ankles.

Snap— the iron chain was severed, and Devimon fell into the stove.

"So hot, so hot~"

After a flutter in the stove, Devimon flew out, and before Vamdemon felt displeased, rolled on the ground extinguishing the flames on his body, then prostrated again before Vamdemon.

"Devimon, this is punishment for your lost army; and considering you brought back important intelligence, this is your reward."

A bat fetched a cup of blood wine and placed it before Devimon.

"Thank you for Vamdemon King's bestowal."

Seeing the blood wine, Devimon's face showed delight.

Before failing to evolve into VenomVamdemon, the Perfect-level Vamdemon was considered a Digimon King with clear rewards and punishments.

Subordinate Digimon, as long as they had capability and were loyal enough, could always harvest some bestowals from this King.

And this blood wine is something Vamdemon's bats manufactured using Champion Digimon blood.

Drinking it can increase evil Digimon's evolution data; it is a thing that achieves the same end by different means as the data capsules Nanomon made.

Although Devimon botched the matter, the news that six Perfect Partner Digimon appeared on the Chosen Children's side was indeed brought back by him.

This counts as having both merit and fault.

The fault has been punished; the merit must also be rewarded.

Watching Devimon finish the blood wine, Vamdemon then ordered: "Devimon, go watch the position of those Chosen Children for me; tonight I plan to personally go out and eliminate them."

Six Perfect Partner Digimon were not placed in Vamdemon's eyes; he was very confident in his own strength, and decided after waking up to personally night raid the Chosen Children, wanting to solve the problem in one go.

Taichi Yagami and the others didn't know this situation; in the evening they drove to a lake side and pitched tents there.

If the previous journey was like wandering, then now it is wild camping; sufficient supply provisions let their lives pass not too badly.

The campfire rose; every child held some expectation that after defeating Vamdemon, they themselves would find a way to return home.

However, they didn't know the Vamdemon intelligence Nanomon gave had a huge error.

Once, Gokumon easily defeated Nanomon, making Nanomon overestimate Gokumon's strength.

And when judging the neighboring Vamdemon's strength, Nanomon also referenced based on Gokumon's strength and comparison with Vamdemon's territory size, thereby analyzing this part of the intelligence.

Because territory sizes differed not much, he judged Vamdemon's strength approximately equal to Gokumon, but this cognition was erroneous.

Vamdemon was merely uninterested in the desert territory, and even more unwilling to waste time on a stinking monkey; this is why he and Gokumon kept to their own wells without offending each other's river.

Otherwise, Gokumon who always boasted he was the Digimon King of the Server Continent would also be impossible to only ever be active in the desert region and never come to the Great Forest region.

And erroneous intelligence also gave rise to misplaced confidence.

In the dead of night, when the Bloodsucking Magic Beast rode a Vimana pulled by a Tatsu, and made its entrance in the posture of stepping out from a coffin as it split open upon hitting the ground.

The chosen children did not choose to flee, but instead super evolved their partners and directly confronted the Bloodsucking Magic Beast.
