Chapter 1882: line with translation of chapter title

NO. 500：Learning has no end, it is said.

Whether human or beast, the principle of leaving a way out is the same.

Komodo Dragon

But we need to use exact English from glossary if already listed; not applicable.

Thus we add "Komodo Dragon".

The secret lies in a poor oral environment and a marathon.

One bite is like smearing a poisonous snack; then just wait for the opponent to keep losing blood under scarlet decay and collapse.

No.

As long as there's a chance to wound the prey, all that's left is to match stamina by tracking the blood trail.

At first glance it seems contrary to the widely spread 'don't pursue a desperate foe' in East Yan Culture, but actually it's not, because that marathon-like pursuit itself is avoiding its sharpness, consuming vital strength, until the end giving no chance for the opponent to explode against you.

For beasts, the focus is to give the opponent the illusion of being able to escape alive; for humans, the consideration is to be more lenient, not just 'can escape' but also give the opponent the illusion 'I can still turn the tables'.

Just as the literal meaning suggests, this psychological consideration is more applied to human gambling culture, casino operations.

Thinking you can turn the tables means you can lose more; thinking you can still explode often means the detonation button is in the opponent's hands—so the question arises!

When you realize this, can you willingly give up?

Admit your failure, abandon the mid- and lower-level followers who can no longer walk out because of failure, tuck your tail and flee—just cut losses, something you can do, you all can do.

As long as you can get through, find a world with lower federal cooperation, cross-world pursuit strength will also correspondingly decrease, then it's 'high sky lets birds fly, wide sea lets fish leap'.

Such smoothness, such low threshold prospect, can be said to see the future at a glance, but speaking again—this decision, can they make it?

No.

No.

At first glance they've lost everything, only a dozen or twenty cult remnants remain, but actually they retain genuine strong fighting force, each comparable to an Ultimate. X Digimon's power—this situation itself is trampling their caution and avoidance tucked in doctrine, as the East Yan saying goes: 'He who bears weapons will have murderous intent arise'.

under Jidong culture

Of course, under Jidong culture there do exist individual exceptions.

Red Stone

The members of the Beast Cult are not victims of that culture.

Yuechi Symbol

So the Beast Cult remnants' upheld caution is a cautious regrowth, while their emphasized avoidance is avoiding the possibility of total defeat; thus they need to now accumulate resources that can alleviate failure!

A reckless, no‑holds‑barred flight is absolutely not the monster‑path they pursue; the admission ticket can only be a thoroughly shattered courage and a heart riddled with holes.

No.

What is to be consumed must be living things, and only living things can reach the ultimate state; therefore he, Aomo Lindun, will not be so heartless at start and process, but rather will conduct appropriate feeding during the process to prevent the opponent from harboring a death wish.

So while the high priest remains tense, vigilant against possible slander from Starving Zero at any moment, and more vigilant of his possible destructive actions—this actually becomes a battle of wits and courage with the air.

No.

Although there was consideration whether to lend another hand, lest they be dealt with first by the enraged Seven Great Demon Kings, preventing a respectable AOE damage, but judging by the visible scene, they did pretty well.

Both efficient execution and wrap‑up work were done well, and they adjusted methods according to Digital World concepts to ensure some fragmented data would yield no results.

Horse Girls

But even if this lot does their job professionally enough, they cannot compensate for the fact that the Demon King's army will still be suspicious.

What a joke, my huge coordination team just vanished! Every Ultimate is an important resource, right!

Those with X‑antibodies are even more precious cores; whether Ultimate X Digimon or Digimon awaiting evolution to Ultimate, they are the legion's top‑tier combat power! How could they all disappear within half an hour after gathering at the action point?!

To ensure the operation doesn't become a hindrance to the king, each team indeed has no direct link to the Demon King's army, but that technology mimicking the human world can unilaterally sense the members' presence; once the data core loses contact, the data crystals that would dim quickly dim one by one—when the Demon King's overseers see this, the whole beast goes numb.

Looking at the human world's network communications, there's also no proper report; that plan which should have caused a large‑scale terror attack, how did it go wrong from the start?!

Is it defection? How could that be!!

But if it's a counter‑ambush, what combination would be needed to suppress that squad drawn from the Demon King's elite to the point of not even issuing a decent news report?!

After all, do humans really need to cover this up?

Cover up this opportunity with ample justification to invade and control the Hei'an region?

Who exactly is it? What on earth is going on!

Before they suspect that the remnants sheltered by the Demon King Lord and who have built a cooperative relationship are involved, the latter continues to keep up the act of 'I know nothing, thanks for nature's gift,' launching fierce attacks, suppression, kidnapping—a set of operations that makes Aomo sigh as well.

This might be the old craft of the cult when it first got started.

But who knows how long this unilateral concealment can last, Aomo thought.

'Cut your losses when you see gain, slow the onset of events, increase development opportunities'—such guidance doesn't need Starving Zero to put on an act; the cult remnants themselves have self‑awareness and experience, but regardless of whether they have this, efficiency will quickly plummet cliff‑wise.

After all, the Demon King's army's own assembled, variably sized and strength elite forces are mustered at different locations to sortie.

Not only are the locations different, the times are different too.

Even without the cult members deliberately infiltrating or gathering intel, there are still plenty of fish that slipped through the net already heading to the human world.

When they took two days to notice the water temperature was off and the battle plan had failed, the cult remnants were still carrying on with the kidnapping scheme.

Adjusting patterns, from different places, times, methods, targets, they show Aomo they are returning to their old grassroots trade, still bearing the same demeanor as before.

No.
