Chapter 1749: with translation of chapter title

No. 363: I've installed the return/exit key. (No Chinese)

Translation: "NO. 363: I, An Hui, have the exit key!" (We keep the colon after NO. 363 as in original? Original has fullwidth colon. We'll use normal colon.)

Even though the entire area will collapse and peace in the Digital World is imminent, Xiao Aomo clearly doesn't care. (No Chinese)

Translation: "Although the entire area will collapse, peace in the Digital World is also becoming imminent, but little Aomo obviously doesn't care about it."

We need to keep the translation 'little Aomo' for the term, since the name part is Aomo and the prefix means 'little'. (No Chinese)

He trusts his two friends' abilities, and even more so their ability to summon help. (No Chinese)

Translation: "After all, he has great faith in his two friends' abilities, and even more faith in their ability to call for reinforcements."

From Xiangyu Yamei's warlord consortium to Xiangyu Tuohai's assault vanguard, and then to the Dusk Sea Detective Agency employee who can summon Dusk Sea Xingzi—behind that lies another role: spokesperson for the Royal Knight Alphamon. This network already forms a rather luxurious savior force, and following the Royal Knight actually leaves room for even more connections. (No Chinese)

Now translate the sentence: "From Xiangyu Yamei's warlord conglomerate to Xiangyu Tuohai's Breaking Vanguard, and then to the employee status of Dusk Sea Detective Agency that can naturally summon Dusk Sea Xingzi—behind her another identity, spokesperson of the Royal Knight Alphamon—this network of connections can already form a quite luxurious salvation violence group, let alone following the Royal Knights, there could actually be even more room for further connections."

We need to keep it concise but faithful.

Let's produce: "From Xiangyu Yamei's warlord conglomerate to Xiangyu Tuohai's Breaking Vanguard, and then to the employee status of Dusk Sea Detective Agency that can naturally summon Dusk Sea Xingzi—behind her another identity, spokesperson of the Royal Knight Alphamon—this network of connections can already form a quite luxurious salvation violence group, let alone following the Royal Knights, there could actually be even more room for further connections."

This is networking. (No Chinese)

Translation: "This is connections."

This means if you mess with the young, the elders will show up. (No Chinese)

Translation: "This is 'hit the small one and the big one comes'."

It also represents the rights accumulated over a lifetime. (No Chinese)

Translation: "At the same time, it also counts as a manifestation of the rights accumulated by a life lived so far."

Compared to that, the Seven Great Demon Lords seem too rigid. (No Chinese)

Translation: "By comparison, the Seven Great Demon Lords appear too rigid."

Staying in this dark region, no matter how much it expands, change is hard to come by. Even if one can rely on dealing with lawless humans to get what they need, the collusion of these badasses only leads to mutual vigilance, calculation, and restraint. (No Chinese)

We need to render the slang as 'badasses'; the expression means that the collusion of these badasses only leads to mutual vigilance, calculation, and restraint. (No Chinese)

In terms of scale and strength, progress is extremely slow. (No Chinese)

Translation: "In terms of the scale and strength of the forces' progress, it can be said to be extremely slow, extremely slow."

Ultimately, the dark region's advantage remains the same: the vicious competition fostered by its harsh environment, essentially 'raising gu'. (No Chinese)

Translation: "In the end, the strengths of the dark region remain unchanged, still the vicious competition bred by the harsh environment, that is, raising gu."

If they can spawn an Ultimate quickly, the Seven Great Demon Lords can leverage their stockpiled senior Ultimates to crush the foe, forcing surrender and swelling their ranks. (No Chinese)

Translation: "Being able to produce an ultimate form in a short cycle, the Seven Great Demon Lords can use their senior ultimate-form accumulations to overwhelm the opponent, make them submit, and expand the legion's scale."

What? Eat it? The buildup beyond Ultimate takes too long and offers little gain, so it's not worth consuming. (No Chinese)

Translation: "What? Eat it? The accumulation schedule above the ultimate form is too long, the strengthening effect too limited, can't eat it."

At this point, what truly enhances combat power is authorization, not just piling on more data. (No Chinese)

Translation: "At this stage, what can directly enhance combat strength is still authorization, rather than continuing to feed data."

Leviamon and Eclyssamon's data specs still demand talent; the Holy Beast's fallen form can still handle one or two, but others fall short. (No Chinese)

We need to keep the punctuation.

Thus: "Leviamon and Eclyssamon's data specifications still require talent; the Holy Beast's fallen form can still manage one or two, but others are just not up to par."

————

We need to output the line as is? It's a separator line of dashes. We should translate? It's just a line of em dashes. We should keep it as is? The instruction: translate lines. So we should output the same line of dashes? Probably we should keep the same characters: "———". We'll output that.

Leviamon, an Ultimate Virus-type Demon Lord, is said to slumber in the network ocean's seabed near the dark region; once awakened, it can outrank all top-tier Digimon, yet as a Digimon it remains decodable. (No Chinese)

Translation: "Leviamon, ultimate form, demon lord type, virus species, legend has it that it now lies dormant in the network ocean floor near the dark region; once it awakens, it can look down on all Digimon at the top, but as a Digimon it remains within the decodable (readable) range."

————

Same as line 16.

Although the dark region's demon lord army is steadily growing, depending on gu for power drains the lower ranks; while many meet the baseline for high-level strength, only the seven are truly top-tier. (No Chinese)

Translation: "Therefore, although the dark region's demon lord army's strength is steadily increasing, the strength provided by raising gu itself is also consuming the grassroots; as for high-level strength…… there are plenty passing the threshold, but the top-tier are still just those seven."

From this, little Aomo has good reason to suspect that Belphemon's hidden past includes the Demon Lords' earlier attempt to recruit her. (No Chinese)

Translation: "From this point, little Aomo even has good reason to infer that Belphemon's unspoken past includes the demon lords' former attempt to persuade her to surrender."

In the dark faction's upper ranks, where surface strength is abundant but true elite power is rare, Belphemon. X is a talent that's hard to pass up. (No Chinese)

Translation: "In the dark faction's high-level frontline combat strength being abundant while elite and top-tier strength are scarce, Belphemon. X is likely a talent hard to let go."

He even suspects that Beelzebumon. X is the demon lord who most eagerly recruited her, though it could be the other way around; given the overload of similar elements, same-sex repulsion is common, but either way the attempt failed. (No Chinese)

We need to render the name as Beelzebumon. X; the meaning is that he suspects Beelzebumon. X is the demon lord who most eagerly recruited her, though it could be the opposite, and given the overload of similar elements, same-sex repulsion is common, but either way the attempt failed. (No Chinese)

Belphemon. X didn't join the Seven Demon Lords; instead, it devolved into a roaming Witchmon and eventually encountered Aomo Linton, who had come seeking hired help. (No Chinese)

Translation: "Belphemon. X not only failed to join the Seven Demon Lords, but degenerated into a Witchmon wandering everywhere, eventually encountering Aomo Lindun, who came here looking for hired help."

We need to render the name as Witchmon. (No Chinese)

Others' unfulfilled wishes are easily hired here with a simple contract, but little Aomo doesn't bother judging that; he just silently operates the puppet, speeding through the black market's buildings in search of a

Translation: "Others' unfulfilled desires, here they are simply hired via a modest contract; little Aomo doesn't bother to comment on that, merely silently operating the puppet to swiftly shuttle through the black market's various buildings, seeking a central control room."

Meanwhile, above the deaf puppet, Barbamon. X appeared to support Lilithmon. X after she took a sudden hit from Belphemon. X, damaging her data core amid her screams.

Translation: "Meanwhile, above the puppet that heard nothing and saw nothing—Barbamon. X had already appeared to assist against the blow that Belphemon. X had dealt to Lilithmon. X, directly damaging its data core amid the screams."

We need to render the names as Barbamon. X and Lilithmon. X.

————

Same as separator.

Barbamon. X fuses its magic staff's death bait with its right arm to channel magical power, allowing it to unleash extraordinarily exquisite techniques. Because the stronger the Digimon, the brighter the gem, Barbamon. X first assesses whether it has combat value. The glow of the greed crown on its right hand represents its strength and is also its prized collection.

We need to keep the colon after Barbamon. X.

Thus: "Barbamon. X: By merging the magic staff's death bait with the right arm to link magical power, it can unleash even more exquisite techniques; since the stronger the Digimon, the brighter the gem, Barbamon thus evaluates beforehand whether it has combat value. The radiance of the greed crown displayed on its right hand represents Barbamon's strength and is also its proud collection."

————

He had to help, too, because Belphemon. X's strike landed solidly; if he reacted any slower, he'd likely end up tearfully licking the package happily.

Translation: "He also couldn't help but assist, given that Belphemon. X's strike landed solidly; if he reacted any slower, he'd probably end up tearfully licking the package in happy resignation."

We need to render the phrase as 'tearfully lick the package happily'.

At the start, this would naturally be fine.

Translation: "If it were at the beginning, this would naturally be good."

But now the Xiangyu siblings showing up alongside Jesmon changes the nature of things.

Translation: "But now the Xiangyu siblings plus Jesmon appearing together changes the nature."

The chances of winning through internal conflict are extremely low; choosing a new demon lord takes time, so he must obtain Lilithmon. X, even if it overturns all his original plans.

Translation: "The odds of winning through internal consumption are extremely low; selecting a new demon lord takes time, so he must rescue Lilithmon. X, even if it overturns all his original plans."

How did we end up here?

Translation: "How did we get to this point?"

If it weren't for this situation, he'd practically be confronting Lilithmon, who constantly claims wisdom equal to his own.

Translation: "If it weren't for this situation, he would practically be questioning that Lilithmon who always claims wisdom equal to his own."

Go provoke Belphemon, try to bring someone in, or else die alone there—how did you suddenly draw in these two human siblings and Jesmon?!

Translation: "I told you to provoke Belphemon a bit, then strive to bring the person in, or else you'd die there alone—how did you suddenly provoke these two human siblings and Jesmon to come!?"

According to Barbamon. X's intelligence network, this generation's Royal Knights should all have X antibodies, allowing X evolution, and Jesmon is even said to possess a form beyond X—something unprecedented.

Translation: "In Barbamon. X's intelligence network, this generation's Royal Knights should all have X antibodies, making them more capable of X-evolution, and Jesmon is even said to have a posture beyond X, unprecedented!"

If they actually fight, not only are the odds of winning extremely low, but it would also destroy over half the territory's ecosystem!!

Translation: "If they really fought, not only would the odds of winning be extremely low, but it would also destroy over half the territory's ecology!!"

As the demon lord who values this most, with the farthest vision and perhaps the only one concerned about shifts in the dark region's forces, Barbamon. X is like an old-timer who's always borne the burden, persisting through years of harsh accumulation by relying on the greed within the origin authorization, and even more so harboring the desire to one day kill all those senseless nonsense and little twerps who waste resources recklessly.

We need to render the term as 'little twerp'.

Thus: "As for this aspect, which he values most, with the farthest vision, and perhaps the only demon lord who cares about changes in the dark region's forces, Barbamon. X is like that old-timer who has been shouldering burdens forward, relying on the greed desire in the origin authorization to persist through countless years of arduous accumulation; in his heart he even harbors the desire to one day kill all those little twerps who mess around recklessly and waste resources wantonly."

But!

Translation: "But!"

It's not time yet…… One hand raises a shield, the other doesn't even hope to dig out the enemy's data core to gemify it; it just wants to carve a passage—Barbamon. X isn't fixated on the opponent smashing the field, which would surely weaken youthful momentum; it merely wants to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and settle the score later.

Translation: "It's still not the time…… with one hand raising a shield, the other not hoping to dig out the enemy's data core to gemify it, Barbamon. X merely wants to carve a passage, not insisting that the opponent's smashing the field must not weaken the momentum of youthful vigor; he just wants to temporarily avoid the sharp edge, then settle accounts later."

We need to render the term as 'gemify'.

The result is the double claws closing in.

Translation: "The result was the arrival of the Double Claw."

DoubleClaw: using the knife mounted on the 'lotus root' to slash the enemy, this skill inherited from the original form to the X form. Since Belphemon. X has wings, it can also make bullets flap their wings like the main body, creating an unpredictable ballistic trajectory; under that condition, it can easily become a cold light woven within a 30‑meter radius fly‑bullet barrier, shaking the right claw fused with the magic staff.

We need to keep "lotus root" as lotus root (literal). So: "DoubleClaw, using the knife mounted on the 'lotus root' to cut the enemy, this skill inherited from the original form to the X form, given that Belphemon. X has wings, making bullets also move their wings like the main body, showing an unpredictable ballistic trajectory, can easily turn into a cold light woven within a 30-meter radius fly bullet barrier, shaking the right claw fused with the magic staff."

We need to keep the exclamation.

Bang!

Translation: "Boom!"

The right claw sustaining magic was shaken, merely reducing the magical flow; it doesn't mean the shield covering both will vanish.

Translation: "The right claw maintaining magical power was shaken, merely reducing the flow of magical power, not meaning that the shield covering both persons would thus disappear."

But don't forget who's still here.

Translation: "But don't forget who else is here."

Three sword spirits hover before him, already forming a triangular green prism of Jesmon, whose 'For Everyone' power instantly gathers; at the same time, the Crimson Rust Dragon and the Ultimate Bow Garuru unleash a second concentrated fire, while Darkstorm's zero‑distance dark Gai strike comes howling as it advances.

We need to render the terms as: three sword spirits, Jesmon, 'For Everyone', Crimson Rust Dragon, Ultimate Bow Garuru, and Darkstorm.

We need to keep the exclamation.

Thus: "Three sword spirits hover before him, already forming a triangular green prism of Jesmon, whose power 'For Everyone' is instantly gathering; simultaneously, the Crimson Rust Dragon and the Ultimate Bow Garuru's second concentrated fire, Darkstorm's zero-distance attack dark Gai power in its advance also comes howling!"

Meanwhile, Lilithmon and Cherubimon under Xiangyu Yamei's command are gathering different powers, aiming at the rear of Lilithmon. X—this is a pre‑aim.

Translation: "At the same time, Lilithmon and Cherubimon under Xiangyu Yamei's command are gathering different powers, pointing toward the rear of Lilithmon. X—this is a pre-aim."

We need to render the name as Cherubimon.

If the brother's Digimon fails, the sister's Digimon must fill the gap; this is a routine part of their past joint operations.

Translation: "If the older brother's Digimon fails there, the younger sister's Digimon must make up for it; this is a segment the two have become accustomed to in their past joint battles."

Of course, this part is often unnecessary; the brother isn't concerned with Digimon numbers or versatility, but he's always focused on firepower, blasting craters, and crushing everything.

Translation: "Of course, more often than not this segment isn't used. After all, although the older brother isn't fixated on the number and versatility of Digimon, he's always been pursuing the path of firepower, cratering, and crushing everything with intensity."

The main tactic is a single burst of damage to send the enemy away; although follow‑up may be slightly weak, most opponents can't survive the first round.

Translation: "The main tactic is a set of inflicting wounds to send them off directly; although follow-up may be slightly weak, most opponents can't get past the first round."

So, will a miracle happen this time?

Translation: "So, will a miracle happen this time?"

When fully prepared, the expected outcome leaves no room for others' miracles.

Translation: "When you are fully prepared, the natural outcome leaves no room for others' miracles."

Then, as puppet Aomo pressed the final trigger on the control panel, catching a glimpse of the system interface showing the missing exit button, he looked up and saw Lilithmon. X's form, in her terrified state, disintegrate into pure black specks.

Translation: "Then, when the puppet Aomo pressed the last trigger button on the control panel and caught a glimpse of the system interface showing the exit button he lacked, he lifted his gaze and could see Lilithmon. X's form, in her terrified state, disintegrating bit by bit into pure black specks."

Meanwhile, beside her, Belphemon hovered on its dual wings, winking at him, and received his nod of acknowledgment.

Translation: "And at her side, the Belphemon with wings hovering in midair, winking at him, received his nod of acknowledgment."

And at the same time, he input the exit command.

Translation: "And at the same time, input exit."

He cast aside the gathering of the six great demon lords that was about to shake the entire dark region.

Translation: "Throwing behind him the gathering of the six demon lords about to shake the entire dark region."

Let's all retreat.

Translation: "【Everyone withdraw now"

Remember to summon the guard robot.

Translation: "Remember to summon the guard robot beast】"

We need to keep the brackets.

Thanks to the multithreaded communication of their real‑world bodies, this reminder will also be sent to the Xiangyu siblings' Tyrannomon, Belphemon. X, and Jesmon.

Translation: "Relying on the multithreaded communication of their real-world bodies, this reminder will also be sent before the eyes of the Xiangyu siblings' Tyrannomon, Belphemon. X, and Jesmon."

We need to render the name as Tyrannomon.

?? Real-life tips: The day after tomorrow I can finally leave home; maybe I'll take a leave.

? Also, a book recommendation: The new book published by my old friend the florist; even if you don't know him, it's fine—starting to get to know him from this book is also okay. Regarding the creation of this book, I also made him work hard.
