Chapter 191

"Modified type", a renowned arms supplier in the Digital World and also a member of a legion-level organization—the Steel Empire's identification.

But need to be concise. Let's translate each.

We'll need to ensure we keep numbers etc.

Let's go line by line.

The 'Modified Type' is a renowned arms supplier in the Digital World and also a member of a legion‑level organization—the Steel Empire's identification.

Interpretation: "Modified type", a famous arms supplier in the Digital World and also a member of a legion-level organization—the Steel Empire's identification.

We need to keep quotes? Chinese uses 【】 for title. We can keep as quotes? Probably translate as "Modified type". Use double quotes.

Thus: 【1】 "Modified type", a renowned arms supplier in the Digital World and also a member of a legion-level organization—the Steel Empire's identification.

We need to produce English translation of the check note. Let's produce a concise version: Check: renowned means renowned; also a member means also a member; a member of a legion-level organization means a member of a legion-level organization; —the Steel Empire's identification means —the Steel Empire's identification.

Ok.

Modified type is the concept of extensively mechanizing non‑mechanical flesh‑and‑blood Digimon.

Translation: Modified type is the concept of extensively mechanizing non-mechanical flesh-and-blood Digimon.

We need to keep "concept". So: Modified type is the concept of extensively mechanizing non‑mechanical flesh‑and‑blood Digimon.

In other words, just like many cyborgs, it is a half‑flesh, half‑machine state.

Translation: In other words, like many cybernetic enhancements, a state of half flesh, half machine.

However, the Steel Empire was not satisfied with this; their initial investigation of all modified Digimon was aimed at creating an ultimate being.

Translation: But the Steel Empire was not satisfied with this; their initial exploration of all modified-type Digimon was aimed at creating an ultimate being:

That being combines the jaw of the mechanical giant dragon beast with the head of the million dragon beast to form its brain.

Translation: That being combined the jaw of Mechanical Dragonmon with the head of Milliondramon to form its skull.

We need to produce the cleaned commentary. Let's craft a concise natural English version:

Thus we will translate it as "Infinite Dragon Beast". We'll also translate other Digimon names similarly.

Let's proceed.

【5】 That being combines the jaw of Mechanical Gigadragon Beast with the head of Milliondragon Beast to form its brain.

Translation: That being combined the jaw of the mechanical giant dragon beast with the head of the million dragon beast to form its skull.

But we need to keep the terms Mechanical Gigadragon Beast and Milliondragon Beast. We'll translate them as "mechanical giant dragon beast" and "million dragon beast". However "mechanical giant dragon beast" is the literal translation of Mechanical Gigadragon Beast, and "million dragon beast" is the literal translation of Milliondragon Beast. We'll keep that.

Thus: That being combined the jaw of the mechanical giant dragon beast with the head of the million dragon beast to form its skull.

That existence: its body is composed respectively of Machinery Transport Beast, Guard Beast, Machinery Giant Dragon Beast, Machinery Tyranno Beast, Andulu Beast, and Ten Billion Dragon Beast.

Not inferior to the Chimera Beast in suturing degree, with a hundred percent metal content, it resulted in the Steel Empire's finest product back then—

——mugendramon【Infinite Dragon Beast】

Also known as, Machinery Evil Dragon Beast.

The most famous Ultimate-level Digimon of the Machine Empire.

But, the modified Digimon once given the name 【Strongest】 ultimately, in the continual development of the Digital World, constantly undergoing version updates, ended up being surpassed.

Stronger Digimon were born, while the Machine Empire's technology had reached its limit; for the legion's continuation, this research direction needed a turning point.

Modified type, it's harmful because it has a flesh-and-blood basis!

Modified type, it's harmful because it requires original modifications!

Thus, the flesh-and-blood modified versions of Steel Garuru and Metal Sea Dragon series were massively updated.

Thus another fully mechanical Gun Dragon Beast swiftly rose, with a peerlessly cold and somewhat self-destructive killing posture, shaking the hegemony of the Infinite Dragon Beast.

However, there were still some Digimon modifiers in the Steel Empire who could not forget the Infinite Dragon Beast.

After they devoted great effort, they recreated the Infinite Dragon Beast's "Strongest" in an alternative way.

That plan was: relying on numbers!

Compared to the flesh faction, the machine faction's advantage is precisely that productivity which rises with technological innovation, right?!

Now the Steel Empire is not only a legion, but also large enough to qualify for the "Adaptive Domain" position, thanks to its already truly imperial-level massive productivity.

Infinite Dragon Beast Mass-Production Type

Dispatched to various battlefields, even signing agreements with real-world regimes, large numbers were specially assigned as guardians of its data.

Nowadays seeing Infinite Dragon Beast guarding the gate in government databases is very common and reasonable, even having a row of Infinite Dragon Beasts guarding the gate is perfectly natural.

Even a city-level government database can have a Steel Empire tactical squad with land, sea, and air forces all gathered together.

Occasionally there is also the scene of Royal Knights rushing to aid, following the contract of Heart of Terra and the World Tree.

But that is the treatment of a city-level government of the Holy Terra Federation.

The city districts of the Holy Terra Federation, if placed a thousand years ago, would each be equivalent to a country; even a place like the Border Gate District is a huge city district formed by mixing several nations of the Eastern Plate.

Such a city district's scale on Earth would be only three; it is only natural for the Border Gate District's government database to often have a Royal Knight stationed there.

But you, a mere large enterprise struggling to do interstellar business, also deserve this treatment?!

No… I didn't expect that either……

A senior executive of Yuger Company, overlooking the battlefield where the Infinite Dragon Beast, Gun Dragon Beast, and Hei'an Steel Garuru face off against the Fighting Tyranno Beast and Golden Armor Dragon Beast.

Four Ultimate-level beings, plus one whose level is subtle but damn it's a Royal Knight, you say if it were on screen that'd be fine, but it's right before our eyes?!

"Chairman, what should we do now… if the company's affairs were discovered by the government…"

"It's not certain if it's the government side; if it's an Omega Beast, it's roughly the same, just a Fighting Tyranno Beast and that unpredictable Golden Armor Dragon Beast..." The neatly dressed middle-aged man, overlooking in this shaky room where dust occasionally falls, his gloomy eyes full of suspicion.

He doesn't feel dangerous, nor does he fear the battle downstairs that seems about to make the high-rise collapse.

In this era, those in high positions wanting power is truly as easy as it gets.

Mechanization is an excellent choice, let alone their company's research department having produced a side-effect that greatly enhances the body while researching monster creation.

But merely having power doesn't mean he's good at fighting; he clearly doesn't intend to join the fray, but is waiting for something.

"The government representative of the Border Gate District is an Ekusamon Beast, not just some golden trinket whose only merit is defense."

He openly shows his contempt for the Golden Armor Dragon Beast, as if he were a member of that group of Royal Knight Fighters.

And that minister also had some worries: "Will the Royal Knights attend a personal grudge?"

"Among that group there are indeed such fellows; as for that golden trinket…"

After the chairman pondered for a moment, he raised his hand and activated a light screen: "Dr. True Person, release the test subject; I want to capture the intruder alive."

The moment the words fell, a surprised question came from the other end of the screen:

"Using monsters to fight Digimon? That's ruthless!"

"... Who are you?"

Hearing that low, resonant male voice with a hint of synthetic, non-human quality, the chairman obviously didn't think Dongzi True Person was playing a prank on him.

"I'm here to help you, starting by helping your company deal with staff of divided loyalties, and incidentally I also handled some of your company's criminal evidence."

"... Crime? We haven't committed any crime."

"Huh? Hmm! Then let's leave it at that, goodbye!"

"? Hello? Hello!"

Seeing the call cut off so directly, the man blinked, then became somewhat anxious, and reactivated the communicator with independent power and communication.

"Anything else? I'm preparing to contact the other directors," that strange male voice sounded again, with a hint of surprise, "are you interested in that employee?"

"What is your purpose?" the chairman asked in a low voice.

In his field of view below, the Fighting Tyranno Beast had just sliced the Infinite Dragon Beast's arm.

The mass-produced Ultimate-level beings are lacking in data volume, which can be seen just from their similar physiques.

Ultimate-level beings aren't several dozen meters tall; either they're "malnourished" due to insufficient data, or they inherently possess traits that affect their size.

"Eh? Didn't I say that? Why don't you replay the call recording? I'm busy, a few minutes, several billion up and down, this kind of problem shouldn't call me again." "I can talk with you, no need for nonsense."

"Once I organize and send your data, you'll know what my nonsense means."

……What is your purpose? Monsters? Or horse girls?

Only an answer you figure out yourself for this kind of question is meaningful, sir.

The voice on the other end of the call was calm and composed: "Why don't you think about it carefully?"

"... Could it be...?" the man frowned, "You're also eyeing the secret key?"

Downstairs, a sudden blazing white light descended, enveloping a million dragon beasts, and also enveloping the fighting tyrannosaurus beast beside it.

With a height difference of over a hundred meters, his electronic eye's focus slightly adjusted, and he saw a white-clad girl he felt unfamiliar with, holding a sleek white staff.

"Yes, of course, you should hand over the secret key."

"But it's not in our hands at all, you've got the wrong person!" Upon mentioning this elusive thing, the chairman's dissatisfaction made his tone rise a bit.

"But I just feel your chances of getting it are quite high."

"Of course, the premise is you put down those materials and let our company win that damned exhibition popularity first place."

"Then it depends on your company's sincerity!"

The call ended, completely ignoring the blood pressure rising on the other end, the demon crushed the communicator in his hand and turned to look at the Dongzi Zhenren being guarded inside.

The latter was standing ready, waiting for the other party to possibly utter the tyrant's terms.

Even though she recognized the other party as the Lineton trainer she had wanted to meet, at this moment the other party was also a demon thug who had knocked out and kidnapped a group of experimenters, so whatever they said would not be surprising.

The urgent task is still to stabilize the other party, even if their earlier conversation already seemed all-knowing.

"Doctor Dongzi Zhenren..."

Here they come!

The woman was utterly serious; even the cybernetic youth guarding her adopted a solemn posture, waiting for the other party's next words.

It's clear these two are not from the same place; while listening to the earlier conversation, that cybernetic youth even made a pausing gesture, hoping the demon would give an explanation.

This might also be a point we can use... Dongzi Zhenren has not given up hope of escaping.

First, we must utilize the power of words; the minds of sentient beings often rely on words as a carrier and are more easily guided by words—this is the first lesson all psychic students must take.

So, to use the other party's words to set her own trap—she thought that, and then she heard the other party's continuation.

"What is the secret key he spoke of?"

"Does 'exhibition' refer to a monster exhibition?"

Huh?

Doesn't he know?
