Chapter 313
"Abu, I won."
After everything settled, Lilithmon X flew over.
"Hmm, I saw it all, dry heave... nicely done!"
Broly praised Lilithmon X, but was suddenly hugged by Lilithmon X who had come before him.
Softness submerged his face, making the subsequent sounds somewhat muffled.
"Who is this?"
Joe Kido asked; Lilithmon X's somewhat revealing attire made the boys among the Chosen Children, except for the younger Takeru Takaishi, all somewhat afraid to look directly at her.
"She is Lilithmon X, a new Ultimate Level evolution form of Dirumon."
Broly turned around in Lilithmon X's arms, held like a doll, and introduced Lilithmon X's Real Identity to the Chosen Children.
"Eh, she is Dirumon?"
The girls who originally thought Lilithmon X's behavior of coming over and hugging a boy was somewhat frivolous instantly widened their eyes and changed their attitude.
"Dirumon's Ultimate Digimon evolution form really is beautiful."
"Mhm, I really hope my home Palmon's Ultimate Digimon can also be as beautiful as her."
"Hey, Dirumon, can I touch the current you?"
The three girls became friendly with Lilithmon X.
"Sora Takenouchi, thank you for your praise; Mimi, your Palmon's Ultimate Digimon is actually also very beautiful; hmm, Jia Er, where do you want to touch me?"
"Ears."
Yagami Kari said without hesitation; she was very curious about Lilithmon X's pointed ears.
Lilithmon X squatted down and also picked up Kari.
Broly on the left, Yagami Kari on the right, just like a beautiful young woman bringing two kids.
Yagami Kari raised her small hand, stroking Lilithmon X's pointed ears; her small hand didn't use much force, but the technique was surprisingly similar to kneading a kitty's ears, which quickly dyed Lilithmon X's face with a layer of red blush.
However, Lilithmon X didn't dodge, merely looking at the Saiyan boy in her left hand and asking: "Abu, do you want to touch my ears too?"
Eyes somewhat silk-threaded, voice carrying charm, seemingly an aroused woman yearning for her lover's caress.
Tai Yi and the other Chosen Children were somewhat stunned watching; was this scene really something this group of little kids could watch?
"Lilithmon X, can I also touch your ears?"
Just then, Takeru Takaishi asked; he was also quite curious about pointed ears.
"You? You can't."
Lilithmon X looked at the little boy and refused the other party without a second thought.
"Ah, why?"
Takeru Takaishi asked in confusion.
"My ears, only Abu and Jia Er can touch; as for others, they cannot."
Lilithmon X's attitude was very firm; after evolving into Lilithmon X, she naturally obtained the data information of a Lust Demon King in her mind.
She clearly understood that intimate contact behavior like touching ears could only be done with Close Persons.
"So it's like that."
The little boy accepted this point, but his mood was still somewhat disappointed.
"Takeru Takaishi, it's okay, my ears are also very nice to touch."
Digimon leaned over, the two small antenna ears on his head trembling.
"Tai Yi, do you want to touch ears?"
Seeing this, Koromon imitated the example.
"Same touching ears, but why does it feel inferior to theirs?"
Joe Kido raised a question.
"Is there a possibility that your Bukamon and my Rice Cake Beast are the same, fundamentally having no ears at all?"
Koushiro Izumi refuted back.
"Sorry, Koushiro Izumi, I have no ears."
Hearing this, Rice Cake Beast apologized.
"Ah, Rice Cake Beast, I wasn't saying you're bad; hmm, your body is soft and fluffy, touching it feels very comfortable."
Koushiro Izumi hurriedly praised Rice Cake Beast.
"Biyomon is also very elastic."
Sora Takenouchi held Biyomon and also praised.
"A He..."
Unimon looked at his own Initiator Partner.
"No problem, Unimon you are fluffy, touching you is also very comfortable."
Yamato Ishida changed a lot; without WarGreymon appearing, his current mindset is extremely good.
"Tanemon, why are you the only one neither soft nor having fluffy texture?"
"Mimi, I..."
Before Tanemon could finish, Mimi Tachikawa changed the subject.
"However, you're slippery, skin really good."
Every young Partner Digimon touched can actually find some excellent points.
But seeing this, Lilithmon X instead produced a competitive spirit; she must be the Digimon with the best hand-feel.
"Abu, their softness, their elasticity, their fluffiness, their smoothness, I also have them all; do you want to try touching other places, for example my..."
Before Lilithmon X could suggest some overly bold spots, the voice of MarineAngemon ringing out from the Spaceship Fortress overhead interrupted this Partner Digimon tactile contest that had begun rather inexplicably and proceeded in near silence.
"Broly, Lilithmon X, get up here quick. Gennai contacted me. He says the world's crisis hasn't been completely resolved yet."
Lilithmon X flew back to the Spaceship Fortress with Broly and Kari, followed by the other Chosen Children.
One must admit, Partner Digimon resilience is truly formidable. Even though they'd only just been reverted to their Child forms, when the need arose they could still instantly skip the Adult stage and re-evolve to Champion.
Right on cue, the flying Pteranomon and Batmon brought people up.
"Gennai, weren't the Dark Four Heavenly Kings already defeated by Broly and the others? Why do you say the world's crisis isn't resolved?"
The Chosen Children felt confused. After entering the Spaceship Fortress's communications room, they asked Gennai's virtual image directly.
"Let me answer that question for you."
Gennai was about to speak when Kari, set down by Lilithmon X, spoke up.
"Kari?"
Tai looked at his younger sister, unsure what was going on with her.
"Sorry, I'm temporarily borrowing this girl's body. I am Homeostasis, the Digital World's balance system. I have no concrete form, so I can only converse with you this way. But rest assured, I will not cause this child any harm."
Kari — or rather, Homeostasis — explained to Tai.
"Now, to answer your question. Why the world's crisis remains unresolved even though the Dark Four Heavenly Kings were defeated..."
That's because the Dark Four Heavenly Kings activated the Apocalypse Program. The Apocalypse Program integrated all Digital World information, becoming Dark Tornado Mountain.
And this was the Sealed World Tree's plan.
The Dark Four Heavenly Kings thought they were avoiding the World Tree's unsealing, but in reality they were still pawns manipulated by the Sealed World Tree.
The World Tree used their ambition as drive. In the original plan, if the Dark Four Heavenly Kings won against Homeostasis's Holy Plan,
then the Digital World would, under the Dark Four Heavenly Kings' rule, achieve invasion and occupation of the Real World, solving the two worlds' overlap problem from the World Tree's perspective.
Even if the Dark Four Heavenly Kings lost, the already-activated Apocalypse Program would likewise enter its next phase.
All Digital World information data would constitute Apocalymon, who would execute destruction and reboot of both worlds.
And this, too, was a World Tree-approved method of resolving the world overlap crisis.
As for Homeostasis, it had always sought to avoid such extreme problem-solving methods. It united with the Four Holy Beasts to betray the World Tree, staking everything on the miracle the Chosen Children and their Partner Digimon might create.
And as long as Apocalymon is defeated, the World Tree's decision can be changed.
This Digital World's World Tree shares the same problem-solving logic as the World Tree Broly encountered in his third transmigration error — both select the optimal solution.
To change the World Tree's mind, one can only use facts to prove one's approach is better than the optimal solution it computed.
The children summoned by the Holy Plan and the Dark Four Heavenly Kings are the products of the game between Homeostasis, the Digital World's balance system, and Yggdrasil, the Main Host System, with their differing ideas.
They decide whose method is more correct through a final showdown. All Chosen Children and Digimon are merely pawns in the game.
Naturally, before this game reached its end, it was thrown into chaos by Broly, an anomaly who intruded into the Digital World.
"Under the original scenario, Apocalymon would appear after the Dark Four Heavenly Kings were defeated. But now, they were only defeated, not eliminated. You captured them. As a result, the Apocalypse Program is stuck on the final step.
Yet the Real World and Digital World continue to overlap. The Apocalypse Program could mutate anew at any moment.
Broly-sama, I request that before that happens, you save the Digital World and Real World by reasonable means."
Homeostasis made the request.
"Huh? Let me save the world?"
Broly was momentarily stunned.
"Yes. Now only you — and only you — can save the Digital World and Real World."
Homeostasis nodded solemnly.
The others couldn't easily persuade the World Tree, but Broly, who threatened an even stronger World Tree in another Digital World, could readily persuade it.
Before descending upon Kari, Homeostasis had already sent the World Tree sealed here the intel on Broly's fierce battle record in that other world.
Right, say it's sealed, but in reality this may also be within the World Tree's calculations.
The World Tree merely allowed itself to be betrayed by itself and the Four Holy Beasts, thereby sealed, while computing the optimal answer.
"What do you want me to do? Go blow up Dark Tornado Mountain?"
Broly asked. Compared to saving the world, he's actually better at destruction.
"No. You only need to provide a peaceful solution to the potential conflicts after the two worlds merge. A theoretically viable general approach will do."
Homeostasis hurriedly said.
If you actually blew up Dark Tornado Mountain, which aggregates all Digital World information data,
the Digital World would truly have to reboot.
"But what can I do? You don't expect me to say one sentence — 'everyone get along peacefully from now on' — and that solves it, do you?"
"Exactly. That's it."
Homeostasis nodded rapidly.
"The World Tree has already accepted your proposal."
It spoke through Kari's body.
"Eh?"
"Ah!"
"Wait, the two worlds' great crisis — can it really be resolved just by Broly saying one line?"
The Chosen Children felt confused. Someone asked directly.
"Your words wouldn't work. Mine wouldn't either. But his can."
Homeostasis nodded solemnly.
"Broly-sama possesses the power to easily destroy the Digital World. His words are absolute truth. Even the World Tree must acknowledge them."
A group of Chosen Children: "..."
At this moment, they experienced the gap between ordinary people and Saiyans.
"So, you came over just to get me to state my position, and then the crises of the Digital World and the Real World are solved?"
"More or less. Next, we just need to run the Apocalypse Program in reverse and restore the Digital World to its original state."
Pausing for a moment, Homeostasis then spoke again: "Of course, the restored Digital World will definitely need its order re-established, and that requires the help of High Heaven.
Additionally, the Digital World needs a true ruler. I hope Broly-sama can help us by becoming this world's King."
For the sake of the world, acknowledging a big shot and clinging to a big shot — there's nothing shameful about that.
At the very least, these two systems, Homeostasis and the World Tree, don't have a thing called face.
Facing Homeostasis's request that was as good as a done deal, Broly scratched his head, but also explained his own situation clearly.
"It's impossible for me to stay in this world forever. Before long, I have to return home. Although I don't mind being the Digital World's King, are you willing to accept a King who isn't in this world year-round?"
Broly retorted to Homeostasis.
Hearing this, Homeostasis fell into silence, and He began to ponder.
After a while, He asked: "After you leave, can you still come back?"
At this time, the long ears of Lilithmon X beside him twitched once, then immediately stood erect.
"I can."
Broly nodded in reply.
After Lilithmon agreed to become his wife in her King Flower form, the Crystal Palace System leveled up again.
Upon reaching LV4, the Crystal Palace unlocked the construction function of the Cross-World Transmission Gate.
However, this thing's cost is extremely high; just the gate itself requires 1 million Happiness Points, and additionally 10 cubic meters of the Crystal Palace's internal space.
If Lilithmon didn't still have some wife forms on her, Broly wouldn't even dare think about being able to build this thing.
"Being able to come back is no problem then."
Jia Er, in Homeostasis's possession state, relaxed her brow. The Digital World just needs a King who can integrate the wills of all internal individuals; it doesn't need the other party to actually come and handle the myriad affairs of the Digital World, so not being here year-round is not a problem.
As for the trivial matter of managing the Digital World, He, Homeostasis, can also help. And the Molecule Beast managing High Heaven looks like a capable hand who drives a light carriage on a familiar road (an ox-horse).
The matter of the Digital World being ruled by the Saiyan boy was decided just that simply.
Homeostasis acknowledged it, the World Tree had no objection; there was a feeling of imperial appointment.
However, the actual reason was because Broly possessed the terrifying strength to destroy everything, so he was begged to ascend to this position.
As for Lilithmon X, unsurprisingly, after the Digital World was restored to its original state, she became the true Queen-sama.
The Ultimate Crew of High Heaven moved into action, proclaiming the name of GranKuwagamon throughout the entire Digital World, and absorbing the forces that originally belonged to the Dark Four Heavenly Kings.
During this period, they also encountered some resistance, but in the face of the numerically vast Ultimate Crew, those resistances were nothing more than clay chickens and tile dogs, mantises trying to stop a chariot.
The Chosen Children returned to the Real World, revealing to the Real World's Official side the new King of the Digital World's strength, and the Digital World's willingness to engage in peaceful contact with the Real World, intending to avoid a possible war between the two worlds.
Thus, the two worlds began to exchange.
During this period, the Molecule Beast Ultimate Evolved. It did not choose the Machinedramon evolution line, but chose to fuse with the Spaceship Fortress's Data Space, becoming the Spaceship Fortress's Main Control System.
Now, it can be called the Spaceship Fortress Beast, but the other party is more similar to an existence like the World Tree.
It's just that one is the host of the Digital World, and one is the host of the Spaceship Fortress.
"In the future, exchange between the two worlds will certainly be very important. I will become the Linker of the Digital World and the Real World……"
This was the decision the Molecule Beast made.
The Spaceship Fortress thereafter became a Ferry Ship shuttling between the Real World and the Digital World.
It ferries some humans into the Digital World to understand the Digital World's situation.
It also ferries some clever Digimon like Wizardmon, Wisemon, etc., to the Real World to understand the human situation.
The two already-overlapped worlds, without Apocalymon's destruction producing thrust, find it difficult to separate from each other.
Active understanding and exchange is the best way to avoid war breaking out between the two worlds.
And under this situation, the Chosen Children don't need to separate from their Partner Digimon, directly eliminating the reluctance of parting.
"Queen Lilithmon, the device controlling the X Program and X Antibody has been completed on the Lab side."
A Mervamon came over to report.
"Okay, I know. I'll go find Abu right now."
After Lilithmon X left.
Another Mervamon rushed over, saw no one here, and asked: "Where is Queen Lilithmon?"
"She already went to find King Gluttony."
The Mervamon who entered first answered.
"You, this guy, don't understand respecting seniors at all. For this kind of reporting, it should be done by a senior like me."
The Mervamon evolved from Impmon was somewhat indignant.
"Heh~"
Regarding this, the Nightmare Soldiers' General Mervamon just coldly laughed.
After finding out who the master of this palace really was, she immediately went solo.
She completely didn't give a damn about this weakling senior in front of her who only evolved into Mervamon relying on massive data.
The Digital World is quite cruel. Even if it's peaceful now and you can't just slaughter other Digimon, isn't this kind of workplace favor-currying also a kind of alternative killing?
This General Mervamon adapted to the workplace at extreme speed, rapidly rising to become the subordinate Lilithmon X currently feels is more comfortable to use.
Perhaps, before long, she will become Queen Lilithmon's Confidant, surpassing the Mervamon evolved from Impmon in status.
Seeing her expression, the Mervamon evolved from Impmon was annoyed, wanted to make a move, then discovered the other party had already stretched her face over.
"You, this guy, are so insidious, actually trying to lure me into making a move."
"What are you talking about? I hold you in the highest respect, Senior. However, I'm afraid it won't be long before it's your turn to respect me."
"You..."
Leaving aside the two demon beast women's cold mockery and mutual scheming, Lilithmon X had already found Broly.
She told the boy very happily about the device for controlling the X Program and X Antibody having been developed.
"That's wonderful! This way, all your previous forms can agree to become my wives!"
Broly was very happy; some of Dorumon's evolution forms, after gaining the X Antibody, were conversely not recognized as wife identities.
He had originally thought this kind of device for controlling the X Program and X Antibody couldn't be developed before he left, so he would have to leave this world with the regret of missing several of Dorumon's wife forms.
Unexpectedly, the Steel Empire that received him would have such impressive research capability.
After obtaining the X Program and X Antibody data, they produced the control device in just two months.
Broly immediately followed Lilithmon X to the laboratory.
"Gluttony Beast King, Lilithmon King..."
The Hagurumon they encountered on the road saluted them.
Only upon reaching the laboratory did they see a group of Digimon closely resembling Moleculemon.
But these were actually a group of Moleculemon prototypes, small medical Mechanical Digimon.
And upon seeing Broly this Digimon King enter, they immediately took out a rhombic crystalline object, handed it over, and explained its function.
"As long as Lilithmon King absorbs this rhombic crystal, she can control her own X Evolution with subjective consciousness."
"Are you sure?"
After taking the rhombic crystal, Broly was somewhat doubtful.
"Gluttony Beast King, we are sure, because we have already successfully applied it on ourselves. If you don't believe us, please watch: X Evolution!"
The small medical Mechanical Digimon performed X Evolution and Devolution on the spot; after watching, Broly could only say "six".
This group of small medical Mechanical Digimon, no wonder they look similar to Moleculemon, even their crazy research spirit is similar.
Perhaps it is because of this that the rhombic crystal device for controlling the X Program and X Antibody was developed so quickly.
Broly held the rhombic crystal and handed it to Lilithmon X beside him.
Lilithmon X then squatted down, opened her small mouth with purple lips, and said somewhat coquettishly: "Abu, I want you to feed me."
Broly felt Lilithmon X's personality wasn't much different from Dorumon's time; she always liked his feeding.
Of course, except for the point of being more fond of sucking fingers.
After swallowing the rhombic crystal, Lilithmon X bit down on the boy's finger with her teeth.
Her tongue coiled around his fingertip.
After coating it with saliva and sucking it clean.
With a pop sound, she let the finger go.
"Is my finger some kind of delicacy?"
Broly couldn't quite understand this strange oral fixation.
"It has the Abu taste I like on it."
Amidst intimate closeness, Lilithmon X bit his ear, gently, carefully biting.
Recently, Lilithmon X has become increasingly clingy, giving Broly a feeling like her Dorimon period.
