Chapter 301: Good News and Bad News

Learning that the Countermeasure Team was preparing to organize personnel to rescue Kato Juri once again, Matsuda Kaito, Li Jianliang, Makino Ruki, and the others also unhesitatingly brought their Initiator Partner Digimon and rushed over to this side together.

And besides them, Datenshi Jigokumon also came over.

"Little Demon Beast, how come you came too?"

"Don't call me Little Demon Beast, call me Datenshi Jigokumon. I came over because I received a contact from the Network Management Bureau's people."

"Have your injuries healed?"

"Nothing serious, no need for concern."

Datenshi Jigokumon's injuries naturally had not healed, but since the matter concerned Kato Juri, this was a debt he owed that girl.

So, upon receiving the contact and learning that the Countermeasure Team was preparing to organize people to once again rescue the girl imprisoned by Digimon Kaiser, even injured he came over again.

"The last rescue failed because our side lacked sufficient firepower support; conventional modern weapons cannot produce any effect on Digimon Kaiser.

But this time is different. See that castle floating in the sky over there? They possess extreme firepower; just now they suppressed the mutated Digimon Kaiser. We have already obtained the promise of that castle's owner to assist in combat.

I believe that with the help of external support forces this time, we will be able to successfully rescue Kato Juri from inside Digimon Kaiser's body, cutting off Digimon Kaiser's continued absorption of her negative emotions."

Yamaki Mitsuo explained the current situation, rallying Matsuda Kaito and the other children along with their Initiator Partner Digimon.

Seeing the screen recording of the Sky Castle's firepower suppression scene against Digimon Kaiser, the eyes of Matsuda Kaito and the others lit up somewhat.

The hardest thing to deal with about Digimon Kaiser is the endlessly produced clone units; even if they and their Initiator Partner Digimon Biomerge Evolve to Ultimate Level, they would still be drained of physical strength and energy by the endless clone units.

If someone could intercept those clones for them, it seems breaking through to Digimon Kaiser's core position again would not be a problem.

And if they can retain sufficient physical strength and energy, the possibility of rescuing their friend Kato Juri increases greatly.

"Eh, is it enough if we just provide cannon fire coordinated combat?"

Contacting the Sky Castle side via computer communication, Yamaki Mitsuo's request made Broly somewhat surprised; he had thought the other party would directly request them to solve the guys down below.

"Yes, the main breakthrough members are these children and their Initiator Partner Digimon, but if you still have more extra forces that can come support us, we will be endlessly grateful."

The rescue battle began; Molecule Beast had no objections to assisting in combat, after all it was merely consuming some engine energy.

On the contrary, upon seeing Matsuda Kaito and the others Biomerge Evolve with their Initiator Partner Digimon to Ultimate Level, Molecule Beast's research soul burned up.

In the previous world it obtained data on humans evolving into Digimon, yet in this world there is actually a situation of humans and Digimon Biomerge Evolving.

【If it could Biomerge Evolve with the Gluttony Beast King...】

Molecule Beast, having already witnessed a portion of Broly's power, couldn't help but think this way.

"Vajra Realm, Mandala!"

Inside Digimon Kaiser's bubbles there is an ability to suppress Digimon Evolution; fortunately Sagittarimon's purification Barrier can resist this negative influence for a short time.

After a group of people were granted this purification Barrier, they began the breakthrough; Digimon Kaiser detected the external invasion and began producing various clone combat units.

However, overhead cannon fire sounded again; large numbers of Ultimate Destruction Cannons dragging long tail flames came howling and smashing down.

This forced Digimon Kaiser to divert a portion of energy to repair its external body; the production efficiency of clone combat units was almost halved.

Frontal breakthrough pressure plummeted; the children inside Justimon, SaintGalgomon, Sagittarimon, and Judgemon also noticed this point and immediately accelerated their breakthrough speed, quickly arriving before the God Mother together with Datenshi Jigokumon.

"Why are you attacking me?"

"Did I do something wrong?"

"This is Fate..."

On the God Mother's body some yellow mechanical mouths opened and closed, emitting Kato Juri's voice from within; these voices carried heavy sorrowful emotions, making listeners feel a kind of sadness.

"Stop imitating Kato-san's voice."

"There is no such thing as inevitable Fate in this world."

"Hurry up and release Juri!"

Datenshi Jigokumon had no nonsense; right away he fired a Chaos Blast attack.

One saw his left hand draw a Magic Circle, his right arm transform into a firearm releasing a destruction wave.

Seeing this scene, Justimon also raised its Shield and sent an Extreme Bliss Pure Land.

Inside Digimon Kaiser's core, the bound girl heard the sorrowful voice at her ear stagnate for a moment.

Then it became urgent; incidentally the fiber optic cables binding the girl also increased their force.

Kato Juri felt pain, but revealed a smile: "You're panicked. I won't believe your words anymore; my friends will definitely come save me."

"Merely useless resistance; humans and Digimon will all be erased, just like your mother died, Leomon also died that way — this is Fate."

The Imitator poked its head out, speaking vicious words; Kato Juri is only an eleven-year-old girl, and her heart couldn't help but generate even more negative emotions.

After Digimon Kaiser absorbed these emotions, its power on this side grew once more; a passage began to open in the ground of Digimon Kaiser's internal space, connecting to the Digital World.

The Digital World, sensing a crisis to the Reality's own source program, saw large numbers of Digimon Kaiser clone units surge into the passage, passing through the passage to arrive in the Real World to provide support.

Medium-to-large Digimon Kaiser clone units like Creepers, Watchers, and Suitables began appearing in batches in this space, surging toward the Ultimate Levels like Justimon besieging the God Mother.

Judgemon and SaintGalgomon went to meet them, but outnumbered they gradually fell into a disadvantage, while behind them the God Mother's Defense System still had not been breached.

"No good, we have to retreat; if this continues we'll be swallowed up too."

Breaking through layer after layer of interception nets composed of fiber optics, looking at the core position nearly reached, Datenshi Jigokumon did not want to give up.

His figure directly vaulted over Justimon, raised his hand, and used Leomon's Beast King Fist, wanting to blast open Digimon Kaiser's core like last time.

However, the Beast King Fist struck the core to no effect; the energy simply exploded and scattered.

"The Caretaker's defense program has already been modified by me; it is no longer that human girl Kato Juri's mental defense; everything you do is merely useless effort."

The Imitator emerged from the God Mother's body, directly engaging the Burst Mode Datenshi Jigokumon.

"Last time you were saved, but this time no one will be able to save you again; you culprit who killed Leomon, I will kill you in Kato Juri's place."

These words made Datenshi Jigokumon, who wanted to attack, stop his finger on the Trigger.

"Don't listen to its words; it is not the real Juri, but Digimon Kaiser; it is dismantling your Combat Will."

Justimon hurriedly shouted.

"I am indeed not the real Kato Juri, but I can read Kato Juri's heart; Leomon's death dealt a heavy blow to the other party whose heart was originally relatively sensitive; Datenshi Jigokumon, the harm your behavior brought to that child is real."

The Imitator continued attacking with Mouth Cannon that dealt true damage.

"If I pay with my life, will she no longer suffer so much? Will she forgive me? Will she no longer be used by you?"

Fallen Heaven Hell Beast was affected; he asked it aloud.

"Of course."

The Imitator grinned, seeming very satisfied with the result caused by Mouth Cannon.

【Ai, Zhen, I'm sorry. Being able to see you again is my luck, and now I must go atone for the mistakes I once made...】

Fallen Heaven Hell Beast thought thus, and gained the awareness to apologize with death; he shouted at the Imitator: "Come, as long as it can save the girl Lion Beastman values, you can take this life of mine."

"Don't, Fallen Heaven Hell Beast!"

Inside the Digimon Kaiser Core, watching Fallen Heaven Hell Beast make such a declaration, Kato Juri hurriedly shouted words to stop him.

However, this was of no use, because the outside world fundamentally could not hear her voice; this was merely Digimon Kaiser deliberately letting her see and hear it, in order to stimulate even more negative emotions from within her heart.

"Since it's like that, then Fallen Heaven Hell Beast, I'll take your life!"

The Imitator attacked.

"Eden Spear."

But the next moment, the Imitator's body, which was about to kill Fallen Heaven Hell Beast, was pierced through by a spear of light.

"How could this be..."

Its body beginning to dissipate, it widened its eyes and looked toward the direction of the attack, and saw outside the blasted-open space, before the Sky Castle, a holy figure floating — precisely Dilu Beast's evolution, Holy Heaven Beast.

And she condensed another spear in her hand, making a throwing motion.

Bang—

The God-Mother's head was blasted open, revealing the Caretaker's defensive sphere inside.

"Th-this is amazing!"

Inside Crimson Knight Beast, watching Holy Heaven Beast outside throwing Eden Spears everywhere, one spear killing one large Digimon Kaiser clone, Guil Beast's consciousness let out an exclamation of awe.

"What are you all waiting for? Hurry and go rescue your friends!"

Holy Heaven Beast saw them stunned and hurriedly urged them on.

Getting the reminder, Crimson Knight Beast and the other Ultimate bodies finally reacted.

"Chaos Burst!"

"Fire God Cannon—"

"Justice Flying Kick!"

Under the combined attack of five Ultimate finishers, the Caretaker's protective barrier developed cracks.

"Victory Gunshot!"

As Crimson Knight Beast thrust a spear, the protective barrier was completely pierced through, and everyone also saw inside: the girl bound by fiber optic cables, and Gulumon fallen to one side.

Crimson Knight Beast severed the fiber optic cables and held Kato Juri in a princess carry; Gulumon was picked up by Sagumon.

Digimon Kaiser clones on the Digital World side kept pouring into the Real World to reinforce; Crimson Knight Beast and the rest, under the cover of Holy Heaven Beast throwing Eden Spears outside, rushed out of this area covered by Digimon Kaiser.

"These guys' numbers are too many."

Holy Heaven Beast's power is very strong, and holy power also relatively counters Digimon Kaiser, but Digimon Kaiser is after all a Death God existence capable of suppressing the entire Digital World.

With the Digital World passage open now, she faces the evolution of the entire rogue AI expulsion program, yet also feels powerless.

"Ab, help me."

After attacking for a while and discovering she couldn't handle it, Holy Heaven Beast decisively sought help from her own boy.

Facts prove Digimon Kaiser is by no means invincible; under an energy bullet bombardment that vaporized a small half of a city along with it, this evolution of the rogue AI expulsion program decisively abandoned the God-Mother on the Real World side and immediately closed the link passage between the Digital World and the Real World, choosing to establish another core on the Digital World side.

The Countermeasure Team watched the mushroom cloud rising upward, all falling into a silence.

The good news is, that girl Kato Juri was successfully rescued, and Digimon Kaiser on the Shinjuku side was also resolved.

But the bad news is, what was resolved along with it was the city district previously covered by Digimon Kaiser.

The footage captured by satellite: an area of over ten square kilometers has already been destroyed, the kind where not a single bit remains, clean and bare.

Yamaki Mitsuo's hand trembled a bit; he took out a lighter and struck it several times before lighting a cigarette, took a drag, then said: "Good thing, before the rescue plan started, we had the army on that side withdraw."

At this time, a communication came from the Spaceship Fortress side.

"The favor you wanted us to help with, we've already helped; but I also have a favor here that needs your help."

"What favor? Please speak."

Having personally witnessed the boy's fired energy beam easily destroy a small half of the city, Yamaki Mitsuo now felt as if his body was wrapped in a thick barrier; he understood the little devil beast's words were not empty, and his attitude became respectful.

"I'm looking for Sagumon; I want to talk some things with her."

Makino Ruki was found; learning the Sky Castle's master wanted to speak with her, she frowned, but still followed along.

"I want Sagumon's evolution data; I wonder if you can trade this data to me?"

Seeing the duo of Makino Ruki and Youkomon, Broly directly stated his purpose without reservation.

"You want Youkomon?"

Makino Ruki became vigilant.

Youkomon beside her also made a corresponding guard action.

"No, I only want Sagumon's evolution data; I don't need your Youkomon."

Broly reiterated his demand again; there had already been multiple instances of Dilu Beast rejecting him finding other Digimon to be his wife, so now he doesn't say he wants the other party to be his wife anymore.

"Evolution data, that thing can be traded too?"

Makino Ruki knitted her brows; she had never heard of such a thing.

"Of course it can; as long as you're willing to trade, we can extract your evolution data, and at the same time pay you corresponding compensation; what do you need?"

"Youko, what do you think?"

Makino Ruki asked for Youko's opinion.

"Ruki, you're my Beast Tamer, I'll listen to whatever you say."

Youko had no objections.

"Youko and I don't seem to need anything, so..."

Makino Ruki thought for a moment, then politely Refused this Kind of transaction.
