Chapter 1743

NO. 357: Sword Art Online is said to be

No one would care whether the rumor of the contemporary Gluttony Demon King's fondness for cross-dressing would spread in the future black market and digital zones; even a bullet with a certain level of intelligence had already charged forward, straight toward the target forced out of the building.

Along the way, it pierced through many existences unrelated to the target.

The bullets of the Belzebu Beast are this bad. jpg

Without instructions, it would try every means to constantly adjust within the set ballistic trajectory, striving to take more lives.

The Belzebu Beast of the past would indeed make agreements, but in this dark zone's black market, the cowgirl would show no mercy to any Digimon or customer.

Thus, before reaching the end where it would turn into iron sand, the three pellets that had broken free from the "lotus root" ran wild, piercing through one body after another.

Some were Digimon.

Under the sudden attack of either degeneration or withering, not even a startled cry, let alone a miserable scream, could be made—only an extremely faint residual sound remained.

The newly formed and taking-off Digiegg might fly toward close ones, but here such a scene is exceptionally rare; thus, they would meet up with allies from conflicts in other areas, together tearing through the black market's "sky."

Just as the force of a plant sprout pushing out can even move relatively large stones, the process of Digimon in the Digital World dying and digiegging while advancing toward the Origin Village is a fundamental force that few can resist, enough to burst most enclosed spaces—even the basic walls of the dark zone are no exception.

Thus, you can see that the torn artificial sky was not rushed to repair by the on-site maintenance workers; instead, the demon king's army responsible for suppressing large-scale conflicts descended again, with a momentum far greater than before, and at the same time, a huge and graceful yet exceptionally blurry four-winged silhouette could faintly be seen standing in the darkness behind.

"Is that Lilithmon?!"

"Is the Dark Goddess herself actually here?"

Customers at various places in the black market who were not involved in the conflict and also not overly focused on their own businesses also couldn't help but notice the scale of the police response, which seemed quite different from what they remembered.

But because both sides of the pursuit were merely ordinary human-sized and thus lacked attention, the vast majority of customers paying attention to this commotion still thought it was the sudden appearance of Red King challenging the Strategist Beast that had drawn the notice.

Only a very small portion of customers right near the scene could notice the "Dark Beast" whose mimicry was unstable due to the moment of attack.

And the very OOC Sayo Beast pulling out a three-barreled shotgun.

On this black market where everyone generally has extraordinary senses, the dying whisper of "Beelzebumon" — a flash of insight before death but not fully formed — could confuse the audiovisual perception of many, but some would still have their brains slightly tilted upward, recalling the fact that Beelzebumon's held double-barreled shotgun "Eggplant" has a pair of sister guns called "Lotus Root."

This information had already become common knowledge when a certain Lady Bei raced through the dark zone years ago; but after so many years, the dark zone's relentless waves have truly washed away many generations of Digimon, so few truly remember this.

It's either an old-timer who's very good at surviving, or an old-timer with real strength.

The latter mostly serves in the Demon King's Army, while the former indeed has been cooperating with humans.

During the commotion just over ten minutes ago when "the Belzebu Beast together with humans was rescued by the Jesmon," which was still fresh, the former also didn't hesitate to popularize knowledge among the nearby little deng, then let the little deng quickly review and now gather similar thoughts: woc, Lady Beelzebumon's comeback!!

Yes.

Compared to the name Belzebu Beast, Lady Beelzebumon was actually called more often back then, after all, who made their appearances so similar in appearance that it's excessively high—so high that if placed in the human world, they would definitely be suspected of being siblings.

But because it's the Digital World, that suspicion can instead be approached from the composition of Digicore data.

Like from the Wizardmon and Witchmon (Adult), Barbaromon and LadyDevimon (Ultimate) — which already have similar origins in their evolutionary line — then to Beelzebumon and Belzebu Beast (Ultimate), their similarity can be said to be a clear path.

Compared to that, the information mentioned by the transmigrator Bi Ze in past complaints — that "Belzebu Beast was originally a fan work, a feminized secondary creation of Beelzebumon that got normalized" — is not worth mentioning regardless of its truth.

After all, whether true or false does not hinder the Digimon of the dark zone from holding their views, nor does it hinder Aomo from avoiding similar topics in front of Lady Bei.

Originally already having a grudge and aversion, saying it this way would just make it more radical.

Although the guys from the similar cracking team would still recklessly use all knowledge related to Digimon from all angles without hesitation, Bi Ze's held "transmigrator knowledge" has also largely spread through other channels, but those people being watched by Belzebu Beast — he can't control that.

He just hopes Bi Ze can survive.

To prevent that hostility from covering from Digimon to human companions, the demon naturally covers it up and avoids talking about it, letting that corresponding relationship with similar origins serve as the sole reference, after all, you should know Aomo still tries to avoid mentioning Barbamon. X in front of the opposing side.

Even when communicating with the three from the Midnight Sea Detective Agency and the Monarch Beast regarding network anomalies, when the other party suffers from having no investigative breakthrough, mentioning the existence of Barbamon. X also counts as a kind of matchmaking—this process also needs to be slightly timed when Witchmon/Belzebu Beast are not paying attention.

Relying on Aomo's main body's advantage on the beach and Gilbalius's ease of dominating the internet's surface layer, secretly doing online chats and such…… he does it without any guilt.

Doesn't Belzebu Beast also hide some things? Then it's only natural for me to hide as well.

Although from the perspective of the partner's idea, this "the other has secrets, so I can also have secrets" mindset is a kind of negative, externally oriented pessimistic thinking, while the reverse positive thinking should be to find ways to make the other completely trust me, to open their heart fully in a 100% conquest approach.

But Xiao Aomo still thinks it's better to be conservative.

Since his "abnormal birth," he has always been "imprisoned" beside women with excessively high affection.

Although Digimon strictly speaking should not have gender distinctions, but among Digimon groups, there indeed exists a gender consciousness and social behavior mapping—for example, in the hot spring scene of *Digimon Adventure*, Gomamon is forbidden from entering the female area, and also, some Digimon indeed develop understandings related to love between each other.

And this consciousness also plays a small but decisive guiding role during the evolution process.

—Those who think they should be male, like Little Demon Beast, will not evolve into Witchmon but will advance toward Wizardmon.

So Xiao Aomo remains vigilant. In his understanding, a 100% conquest state is merely an additional long-term workload.

Such an important decision should still be left to myself after I recover my sanity; before that, the sense of distance between us is also quite important, right?

While watching the hidden danger of Belzebu Beast's part exist, he also wants to, before other witnesses shout out "Lady Beelzebumon" — words that would stimulate her nerves — take out a faster speed, teleport!

Using Jetton's no-preamble teleport until right in front of the man whose body was just pierced through by Bei's bullet, his hand still retained the Beiya card with limited usage count.

Swinging the card like a knife, but before that, more importantly is a reminder:

"Remember to log off."

In this black market, humans are also data.

Although they can be destroyed, if they log out within the short time after just being damaged, the soul's damage can be treated through timely medical care.

Yes, the Digital World may not necessarily have timely healers, but real hospitals are not hard to find. Proactively calling 120, or even some insurance-provided medical team contact hotlines, can effectively guarantee their emergency care for you.

This is basic common knowledge for most netizens, but it's undeniable that many netizens cannot realize this in critical moments.

Either some mandatory safeguards take effect, or it's this kind of reminder from others at the moment.

And among the latter, enemy reminders are still relatively rare, so Aomo saw the opponent's visible shock and their decisive rapid fading, and within those few seconds of rapid fading, he used the Beiya's claw blade to behead them.

"Withdraw!"

After another flash, he grabbed Sayo Beast's arm, flashed again, grabbed Yu Takuya who was together with the guard mechanical beast, then he repeated it again, and immediately also pressed his own logout key.

But found no effect.

Even that option began to disappear.
