Chapter 1871: with translation of chapter title

NO. 486: A sudden inspiration struck, and he decided to use it in the plan.

NO. 486 A sudden inspiration struck, and he decided to use it in the plan.

For such a thing, it's not worth worrying about winning or losing.

Not continuing to hang upside down in the high tower, but standing firmly on a section of the Wall of Sighs, the Light Beast Fallen Type had an expressionless face.

To the Shadow King, whose countless encounters left the impression of an androgynous face wearing a frivolous smile, this appearance of the Fallen Morning Star was, of course, unfamiliar no matter how one looked at it, although the main reason was that it had not seen it enough.

Just two times, that's all.

This King of Fallen Angels, when stepping onto the upside-down position, would actually revert to some primal nature, but once he landed elsewhere, he would adopt this damned serious demeanor, as if he were still handling those ridiculous and pathetic affairs at the seats of the three great angels in the main world.

That extremely rational appearance, the Shadow King had naturally never seen in person.

Although its record of luring angels to fall was not a lie, it lacked the embellishment of the Light Beast; however, with those fallen angels present, it was not hard to learn how the Light Beast behaved before its fall, and it indeed followed the principle that 'to spy on secrets, one must first grasp some secrets.'

Even if that secret appeared to be merely a dull fact that had not been spread.

But whether it was interesting or not, this measurement of value was always only temporary.

The Great Dracula Beast well knows that different perspectives and different timings cause the value of things to fluctuate, and when it wants to play with someone, all of that person's information will naturally not be useless.

As for whether the other party themselves is aware of this…

Just looking at its dismissive attitude of 'not worth caring about,' the secret collector felt that whether the other was aware or not didn't matter; what mattered was that his own drive was growing stronger, and this wait was becoming more hopeful.

However, what it hoped for was not limited to this; even though the full activation of the barrier before it could not conceal the spectacular destruction of firelight and black smoke, which was quite cathartic, the significance behind it was also worth anticipating.

After all, just as it had lamented at the beginning, and as the Light Beast had answered at the start—this premeditated attack covering three examination sites itself is not important, and regardless of victory or defeat, the outcome has no bearing on the situation here.

After all, it's merely tossing a stone into the water to see how many bubbles rise—just an attempt.

Regarding the human world, although everyone has their own channels of understanding, they truly lack the opportunity and are not really willing to lower themselves to mingle and experience life there.

This creates a discrepancy between the aggregated information model and the actual real-world concept.

Especially in the actual performance within the military, police, and civilian sectors, this is crucial to whether everyone's goals can be achieved and whether ambition should expand now!

By this point, rather than sending half-bodied Digimon and human-like figures to slowly investigate, it would be better to simply set off some powerful firecrackers to stimulate.

Indeed, if it is not a formal attack, and if it cannot bring a more obvious opposing pressure, then generally it cannot arouse sufficient formal resistance and opposition, cannot make the other side truly get serious and start operating.

But the situation of the Seven Great Demon Kings is not good enough to allow 'first trying out a war to see the real world's strength.'

If they go to war, they must launch a full-scale offensive and also achieve a surprise attack to gain a huge advantage—otherwise, based on the currently gathered intelligence of human world strength, even the Light Beast Fallen Type, still not having separated its half-body and burdened with endless arrogance, would see clearly that frontal combat offers absolutely no chance of victory.

Regardless of whether they can fight, they must at least confirm certain key contents, such as the possibility of universal conscription at any time, or how far civilian emergency mobilization can go… these are crucial to the later plan.

What?

You ask why we must definitely take the human world as a hypothetical enemy, why not first conquer the Digital World?

Saying that is as if one cannot see the relationship between those rascals of the human and Digital Worlds.

When launching a surprise attack on the entire Digital World, the quickest to act are not those old opponents, but that group of people who at first glance seem unnecessary to involve—this has long been recorded in the Digital Crisis observed (and once led) by the Light Beast Fallen Type, becoming common knowledge it uses to discipline its subordinates and stimulate companions.

Although we do not deny also having the ambition to invade the human world, even if the current target is merely the Digital World, we must guard against the reaction from the human side, trying as much as possible to disguise the situation as a non-serious disturbance, giving them a chance to be complacent—and speaking of this, we must say that, given the standard of that human federation, even if they are complacent and treat this as a minor disturbance, according to intelligence it is still quite dangerous.

If one is not careful, the truth will leak out, and even more so, if one is not careful, the forces the other side dispatches will exceed expectations; this must be strictly operated—thus, its first chosen simulation test field is right now!

In order not to startle the snake by beating the grass, we must limit the size and strength of the unit responsible for the attack, and furthermore try to disperse it as much as possible, randomly selecting positions to create the impression of 'just an accident.' Yet we also need sufficient threat to provoke the opponent into an exaggerated reflexive reaction that reveals the strength we wish to see…

At first glance, this condition seems contradictory—requiring both limiting the scale of action and making the opponent respond rigorously—does one have to hope the opponent is an easy-to-fool fool?

Having cut away arrogance, even appearing not so fallen, the Light Beast Fallen Type found a breakthrough in the real-world information it had gathered.

College entrance examination.

And it's not just the college entrance examination.

Precisely speaking, the core lies in a phenomenon, called 'added value,' that has always existed within the human concept of civilization.

A group of students is not worth special protection, an exam is not worth mobilizing teachers and masses, a district-wide exam is not worth pouring half a region's troops into… yet because 'many people are paying attention,' because 'it can determine many people's dreams and futures,' a mere test becomes a major affair requiring armed guards to look after it together?

It seems understandable, yet still feels rather laughable.

And such 'major value attribution' is actually ubiquitous in the human world—like matches watched by tens of millions together, or heavily guarded song-and-dance performances… these things, unrelated to combat or survival, somehow attract such exaggerated attention… the Light Beast Fallen Type does not quite understand, but it is glad to have such an opportunity to exploit.

Then let's attack these points!

Although attacking these points yields no clear value, they certainly can draw the human world's attention and cause them to reflexively display their strength—thus achieving our wish!

Whether it is vastly underestimated or somewhat overestimated, it has already made the mental preparation, feeling that nothing unexpected would catch his attention—when suddenly a group of examinees burst onto the scene. And among them, the most conspicuous was a figure holding a staff and stepping on a door-width great sword, whose sword shaft still had a fixed metal ring at the foothold, who sprang into view.

This directly caused a change on its usually expressionless face.

That was surprise, as the Great Dracula Beast, who had always been watching its demeanor, thought.

But that surprise was not directed at that ever-so-strange appearance, but at the other party's face.

It was a face shown in its possessed information as the partner of Beelzebub Beast. X during their life in the human world.

What was it called?

Digimon have no crystal assistance, and the Light Beast Fallen Type itself cannot claim perfect memory, but it can still confirm that the information did not mention that person's title, after all that was merely an insignificant minor role… right?

Back then, it indeed thought that way, and it was completely indifferent about it.

But now, upon thinking about Beelzebub Beast's recent situation, especially his impatience at the meeting table earlier, it had a sudden inspiration and suddenly felt that this human was not a minor role.

Perhaps, he could be very important.
