Chapter 304

"Are you interested in the sense of crisis you spoke of to others? You're clearly just lusting after their body, you lowlife!"

The moment the Fairy Digimon's words fell, these strange pieces of information emerged in Broly's mind; however, he didn't say anything. Since WarGreymon had been invited over, he couldn't very well demolish the Fairy Digimon's platform at this juncture, so he simply invited the other party to sit down and talk.

"Babamon, trouble yourself to serve it something to drink."

Babamon acknowledged with a sound, and WarGreymon thanked her and sat down.

"Listen to me, the virus is really coming. I'm not lying."

Perhaps aware of how others viewed his situation, WarGreymon clarified this point right from the start.

"We are newcomers here and don't know what the situation with this world is, but since the Fairy Digimon is willing to believe you, we are also willing to trust our friend's judgment. However, we don't know what exactly the virus you speak of is?"

Broly inquired.

"It is the X Program."

WarGreymon answered.

"What is that thing?"

Lillymon was confused.

"It is a special program manufactured by the World Tree, specifically used to delete Digimon."

"But why would the other party do this? Isn't He the system mainframe of the Digital World?"

Through the Fairy Digimon, Broly had also learned about the World Tree, although it wasn't the World Tree of this Digital World.

"Digimon data is growing increasingly massive. The World Tree foresaw the crisis of excess data potentially leading to the world's destruction, and therefore prepared to activate the Ark Project.

That is, to manufacture and release the X Program capable of deleting Digimon data, to wipe out the vast majority of Digimon in the Digital World.

And only the chosen Digimon can proceed to the new world area named the Ark, to avoid this great cleansing..."

WarGreymon explained.

"Data overload, to prevent the system mainframe from burning out, thereby conducting a great cleansing?"

Through the drone, Molecule Digimon also heard WarGreymon's description of the Ark Project on this side, and suddenly felt the other party might not be lying.

"Does this world not have Homeostasis?"

Broly asked.

"What is that?"

This time it was WarGreymon's turn to be somewhat confused.

"The system that regulates the balance of all things in the Digital World, if I recall correctly."

Broly cast a verifying gaze toward the Fairy Digimon.

"Yes, Broly, you didn't remember wrong. Homeostasis cannot be described simply as light. Precisely speaking, it is the will that lets the Digital World achieve balance.

If there is too much light, it increases darkness; if there is too much darkness, it supports light. Peace and strife, birth and death each occupy half. This is what Homeostasis considers the perfect operational form of the world.

That is, our side gradually overlapped with the Real World, and the ideas of Homeostasis and the World Tree began to differ, which led to the violent clash of the forces of Light and Darkness in that world of ours."

The Fairy Digimon had just talked with WarGreymon. It discovered the fact that this world had no Homeostasis, and quickly realized the problem with this world's existence.

Unrestrained accumulation of data, until a crisis appeared where the World Tree's internal memory as a mainframe system was filled, thereby forcing it to execute deletion operations on internal data.

"What 'this world', 'that world'? What are you all talking about?"

WarGreymon couldn't quite understand their words.

"WarGreymon, we are actually otherworldly visitors from another Digital World, and in our world, there is a different crisis situation."

The Fairy Digimon explained. At this moment, Babamon served the drinks. Upon hearing these words, she couldn't help but shake her head. The other party walked back, and Broly vaguely heard the returning Babamon and Jijimon sighing, saying that young Digimon nowadays are playing increasingly elaborate games.

Obviously, the Fairy Digimon spoke the truth, but no Digimon here believed it, just like no one believed WarGreymon's words.

"In fact, our world is currently in a crisis, and we need warriors like you to save it. I want to invite you onto our spaceship, to go to our world."

As the Fairy Digimon spoke, it looked at Broly and inquired: "Can I do this, Broly?"

"There are still many rooms on the spaceship."

Broly didn't mind a couple more guests coming up onto the Spaceship Fortress. It was just a pity that after passing through two worlds, no person or Digimon was willing to follow them and leave.

"Ah, this..."

It must be said, the matter of saving the world moved WarGreymon greatly. If it were before learning of the Ark Project, it would definitely have agreed to the Fairy Digimon without hesitation, and brought its friend from the Crisis Group, MetalGarurumon, along to the Fairy Digimon's world to do the work of saving the world. But...

"Sorry, the execution of the Ark Project... in this world, I have a very important matter I need to do."

WarGreymon refused.

"A very important matter... is it persuading other Digimon to go to the Ark area to avoid the X Program cleansing?"

The Fairy Digimon asked.

"Yes."

WarGreymon nodded in acknowledgment.

"But aren't there no Digimon willing to believe your words?"

Belphemon had witnessed WarGreymon's preaching over there just now, and the situation where no one paid attention.

"It's just that the majority of Digimon don't believe. The prestige of the World Tree and the Royal Knights is higher than our Crisis Group."

WarGreymon's emotions sank somewhat, but it quickly rallied, changing the subject to say: "But as long as there is even one Digimon willing to believe my words and proceed to the new world to avoid this great cleansing, then everything is worth it. It is something I must continue doing."

It couldn't change the minds of the Digimon who didn't believe its words, but it still wanted to save the lives of those Digimon willing to believe its words.

This is the reason why WarGreymon, every time it goes to different places to preach the Ark Project, suffers ridicule from other Digimon, and even has some Digimon become hostile and attack it, yet still continues doing this kind of thing.

"After the Ark Project ends, I might be able to call my friend, MetalGarurumon, to go to your world and help you out. But right now, there are other Digimon in this world who need us. Our Crisis Group must stay here and do something."

"How long will this take?"

"A year or two, or perhaps even longer. I'm not certain on this point, but the X Program is definitely spreading faster and faster."

The Fairy Digimon was somewhat disappointed, knowing Broly couldn't possibly wait that long, but there was no way to say anything.

"Willing-to-believe-me otherworldly guests, if you are able to leave this world quickly, then leave this world quickly.

The X Program won't show you mercy just because you aren't lifeforms of this world.

The southern region has completely fallen; many Digimon have already died under the X Program.

WarGreymon persuaded them to leave as soon as possible.

And half an hour ago, at the edge of the grassy plain, there was a Digimon city that was reduced to ruins under the attack of the X Program and the Royal Knights.

"We just want to survive; what exactly have we done wrong?"

Facing the questioning of the Ultimate-level Digimon that produced X Antibodies, Omegamon said nothing, merely raising his Garuru Cannon.

He fired an Absolute Cold Bullet, freezing the opponent, then shattered the opponent's frozen body with one slash of the Tyranno Sword, completing the kill.

"X Antibody abnormal data clearance complete. Craniamon, are you finished on your end?"

"Mm, already finished."

Behind Omegamon, Craniamon had arrived at some unknown time, answering Omegamon's question.

"Omegamon......"

"What?"

"Is what we're doing really correct?"

"What are you referring to?"

"Erasing these Digimon who want to survive."

"They have produced antibodies to the X Program, becoming obstacles hindering the execution of the Ark Project.

And the Ark Project is the plan to let the world continue on.

This is the greatest justice, and also the most correct correctness.

Craniamon, what exactly are you bewildered about?"

"I'm not bewildered, just feeling incomparably sorrowful that we must now destroy the world and the Digimon we once protected."

"Those infected by the X Program are deleted without pain; only those unwilling to sacrifice for this world feel pain.

Although wanting to live isn't their fault, they have become enemies of Yggdrasil. We are Royal Knights who serve Yggdrasil; all we can do is eliminate those abnormal data as quickly as possible to lessen the pain their struggle brings them. This is the only mercy."

The current Omegamon has not yet questioned Yggdrasil's decision; executing the Ark Project now is the best choice to save this Digital World, which is about to be burst and crashed by massive data expansion.

For this, even becoming executioners is not hesitated; this is the consensus already reached and the resolve held by every Royal Knight.

"Let's go, we should head to the next place."

"I obtained a piece of information from the mouths of the X Antibody Digimon I eliminated."

"What information."

"There are Digimon preaching the Ark Project; that guy said it should have fled earlier, to the New World."

"There's actually such a thing?"

"Mm, although not many Digimon believe those words, some have indeed chosen to leave here. I think we should report it up."

"Indeed should report it."

Omegamon nodded, directly reporting this information up.

"Are we going to intercept the fleeing Digimon, or proceed to the next target point?"

After a while, Craniamon asked.

"Neither. We are going to stop the preaching behavior of those guys propagandizing the Ark Project to other Digimon, which is unfavorable to the Ark Project's execution."

Having received the command sent back by Yggdrasil, Omegamon and Craniamon directly chose the direction of the grassland and flew off.

Having received WarGreymon's warning, Broly and the others returned to the spaceship, preparing to activate the Spaceship Fortress and first leave the old world region about to be eliminated by the X Program.

But unfortunately, they were a step too late; before the spaceship could activate and shift, two Royal Knights arrived here, followed by the X Program.

In the grassland town, a large number of Digimon had already been infected and fallen before they could realize the problem.

"Is what WarGreymon said true?"

"Why, you Royal Knights, why do this?"

"Jijimon......"

"Babamon......"

The X Program, even for Ultimate-level, is somewhat unstoppable.

Their two hands only had time to clasp together before their bodies began to dissipate.

The lively town turned into a dead land in merely half a quarter-hour.

Only WarGreymon was bitterly holding on.

"I cannot die, I still have things I must do......"

A powerful will to survive caused its form to change; an X Antibody appeared in its body, yet it resisted the X Program's deletion.

"Are you that WarGreymon preaching the Ark Project?"

"Omegamon......"

"Your behavior has already constituted an obstruction to the Ark Project, and your situation of resisting the X Program and producing an X Antibody also makes you abnormal data that must be eliminated. I shall slay you here in the name of justice."

After landing, Omegamon's left hand produced the Tyranno Sword, and he walked toward WarGreymon, whose data was undergoing a sudden mutation.

WarGreymon looked at Omegamon with an incomparably complex gaze; this was the second time it had seen a Royal Knight at close range.

The previous time was when it and its other companion who founded the Crisis Agency, MetalGarurumon, were still in their Agumon and Gabumon stages, the Dark Area invaded this world, and they were saved by Omegamon falling from the sky.

It was also because of that salvation that Agumon and Gabumon developed admiration for the Royal Knights, training hard to evolve into Ultimate-level at a speed surpassing other Digimon, establishing the Crisis Agency in hopes of being selected by Yggdrasil to become new Royal Knights after solving a future great crisis.

However, unexpectedly, the second time seeing a Royal Knight, seeing Omegamon who once saved them again, they themselves had become the target Omegamon must execute.

However, regarding this situation, WarGreymon did not resent the other party; knowing the inside story of the Ark Project, it knew the other party had done nothing wrong.

"Wait, Omegamon, I want to ask it two sentences."

Just as WarGreymon closed its eyes and waited for death, Craniamon intervened, blocking Omegamon who was preparing to behead WarGreymon.

Omegamon frowned, but still gave its companion this face, letting Craniamon pose questions to the WarGreymon before it.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Why did you do this?"

"Do what?"

"Preach the Ark Project to other Digimon."

"I wanted to save them."

WarGreymon's answer was very simple; Craniamon nodded.

"Second question, how did you know about the Ark Project."

And this time, WarGreymon fell silent.

"Those who can know the Ark Project, besides us Royal Knights, are only those few chosen Digimon."

Regarding this, Craniamon didn't mind, and continued speaking.

"You are a chosen Digimon, right?"

It asked.

"Hm."

WarGreymon replied lightly.

"Alright, my questions are done; how to deal with it, I'll leave to you."

Craniamon retreated back, handing the matter of dealing with WarGreymon to Omegamon.

"Why did you do so, don't you know that you yourself are able to survive?"

Omegamon asked in confusion.

"I know, but I cannot see other Digimon in danger and remain indifferent; I should save them."

WarGreymon answered.

"Since you are a chosen Digimon, then you have the qualification to survive, but don't preach the Ark Project anymore, causing us trouble."

In the end, Omegamon did not swing down the Tyranno Sword; it prepared to give this WarGreymon, which also possessed a certain spirit of justice, a chance to survive.

Spared by Omegamon, but WarGreymon did not feel happy, because this time it again failed to save any Digimon.

"I won't give up; next time we meet, we will be enemies."

It shouted at Omegamon's back.

"You have no second chance at life, if you again become an obstacle to the Ark Project."

Omegamon, without turning its head, gave its hardline attitude.

It took flight, but had not flown far before a figure suddenly falling from the sky stomped it into the mud with one kick.

"Hey, I don't care what strange plan you have, I only have one requirement right now, and that is right now, immediately, release the X Program for me."

Broly stepped on Omegamon's head, small face extremely serious, seriously stating his demand.
