Chapter 140: Rescue Dad! Dive into the World Tree!

Under the guidance of the stubborn beast, Kaye and the others once again came to the World Tree Realm.

"Stubborn beast, how long do you want to continue to disobey Igudo Rahir?! He even personally brought mankind to the realm of 'gods'. ”

Angry voices rang out. Sure enough, sensing the appearance of the 'invader', the guardian of the World Tree, Slopmon, immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Slopmon, who had been severely injured by a human Digimon partner, showed no signs of injury on his body. It's only been a few days, is the recovery from the injury too fast?

"It seems that Igudo Rahir has healed you completely, and the guards have worked hard for you, Sleipmon."

Ignoring Sleipmon's questioning, the stubborn beast pretended to be relaxed.

"Also, I have never betrayed Igudorahi. The purpose of the Royal Knight also includes 'fighting for their own justice'. So, I've been sticking to my 'justice'. ”

As he spoke, the windbreaker draped on the stubborn beast's shoulders fluttered unnaturally, and he burst out the fighting qi stored in his body, only to see the dragon-shaped fighting energy -- 'Vulcan Divine Might' emerge from behind the stubborn beast.

"You now immediately enter the World Tree and rescue Ahai, and I will deal with Sleipmon! Hurry up! ”

After urging Kaye and the others, the stubborn beast immediately rushed towards it before Sleippmon could stop it. The 'Vulcan Kamui' that appeared behind him swung his fists hard, and the fist-like energy bullets slammed into the Sleipmon.

"Are you crazy?! The same royal knight actually went toe-to-toe with his companion! The infighting between the royal knights is very disgraceful! ”

Slopmon's actions were completely unexpected, and when it used its shield to block Vulcan Kamui''s attacks, it also scolded Stubbornmon for its abnormal behavior.

"I don't care."

Then came another onslaught. Tired of the stubborn beast's provocation, Sleippon glared at it angrily and began to fight back.

While the two royal knights were fighting against each other, the four men and three beasts ran past them and came to the foot of the main trunk of the World Tree.

Looking up, a slightly higher position reveals a gap that resembles a tree hole. Just climb up the branches to enter the World Tree.

"Ryder. Arnor, Osawa Yabei, in order to prevent other enemies from attacking inside the World Tree, you will now let the Lediromon and the Little Demon Beast evolve into the Ultimate Body to protect us while we infiltrate. ”

Before entering the hollow, Julia reminded the two of them.

"Understood." *2

The two obeyed the captain's will and allowed their partners to evolve into the ultimate body.

"Doesn't multi-way beastry evolve?"

Kaye asked.

"The size of the multi-way dragon beast is too large, it will be difficult to move inside the world tree, and it also occupies everyone's space for action."

Julia explained.

"So that's the case, so many road beasts won't evolve."

Understanding Julia's words, the multi-way beast gave up on evolution.

"I think Igudo Lahir will definitely use other means to eliminate the invaders who enter the World Tree, so everyone must be careful."

After the evolution, Lilithmon kindly reminded everyone. For her first time entering the 'Divine Domain', she was a little nervous.

"It's okay, Lilithmon, let's keep our usual mood."

Nervousness was heard in his partner's voice, and Ryder comforted her with ease.

"Bring out the spirit of the Demon King, Lilithmon."

"Hehe, of course. I don't want Igudo Rahir to underestimate us! ”

Comforted by Ryder, Lilithmon quickly drove away the uneasiness in his heart. That's right, there's nothing to be nervous about.

"Fallen Hell Beast, don't mess around and cause trouble for everyone."

Even Yabei kindly reminded his partner, and the misunderstood words naturally caused the opposite effect.

"Idiot! This is what Uncle Ben should say, and the most important thing to pay attention to is you! ”

The Fallen Hellbeast roared at her.

"Humph! I care about you. ”

I don't care at all that I say the wrong thing, but my concern is disliked by the other party, Yabei is very unhappy.

"Daddy, he must be waiting for us to get him out"

Holding the D-ark in his hand, Kaye's expression was full of determination.

"Kaye, everyone will succeed in rescuing Kaye's father!"

Reaching out and gently grasping Kaye's hand, the multi-way beast encouraged its partner.

"As long as Kaye's dad can be rescued, then we can stop Osawa and Sakura and Jane can reunite with their families."

"yes, so we must succeed"

Kaye was convinced.

"Well, don't waste your time talking! Enter the World Tree now, or you'll fail the Stubborn Beast. ”

Julia looked at the members of DHT with a serious expression and said, "To rescue Ah Hai, you must race against time!"

That's right, you must rescue Ah Hai, and you must not miss this opportunity

―1―

After entering the World Tree, Kaye strongly felt that this giant tree called the World Tree was not an ordinary tree.

The interior of the World Tree resembles a labyrinth. The floors, walls, staircases, and corridors are all formed by sinuous tree trunks, which can be seen in the distance.

"This is the inside of the World Tree"

Looking around, Kaye opened the D-ark's World Tree map image, which was the stubborn beast that had deliberately put the map data into the three-of-three's D-ark in order to prevent everyone from getting lost.

"That red dot above must be where Kaye's father was imprisoned."

Yabei pointed to the red dot shown in the map image and said.

"That's right, Kamijokai is there."

Julia, who had no intention of entering the World Tree to meet Ahai, affirmed.

"Now, then, follow the instructions on the map to get to Mr. Uejo's place of imprisonment."

Looking at the map image displayed by D-ark, Ryder quickly mapped out the nearest route to get to his destination.

But at this moment, several water crystals suddenly appeared out of thin air above.

"Everyone, be careful! Those crystals are Igudo Rahir's defense system! ”

Seeing the appearance of the crystal, Julia reminded everyone at DHT loudly.

As soon as the words fell, the water crystal first shot a red beam of light at Yabei.

"Ahhhh

"Yabei, be careful!"

Kaye, who was closest to Yabei, immediately pushed her away, and when the red beam touched the ground, part of the ground melted into mud.

"These things are really an eyesore!"

The Fallen Hellbeast raised its electron cannon and fired at several water crystals.

"What-?!"

Contrary to what was expected, the purple-red laser did not destroy the crystal, but absorbed it. Then, the Fallen Hellmon's laser shot was completely reflected back by the water crystal, and all of it hit the Fallen Hellbeast's body.

"Woo-!!"

Hit by its own attack, the Fallen Hellbeast let out a mournful roar.

"The attack of the Fallen Hellmon has been reflected"

Seeing that the Fallen Hellmon's powerful attack was easily rebounded by the Crystal, Lilithmon didn't dare to attack the Crystal rashly.

"Ahhh Look down on people less!! ”

Yabei, who got up from the ground, stared at the crystal in annoyance.

"According to the setting in the game, the boss that can reflect energy skills does not necessarily reflect physical attacks! Fallen Hell Beast, simply use physical attacks to shatter the water crystal! ”

Based on his accurate instincts, as well as his long-term gaming experience, Yabei hopes that the Fallen Hellmon will be able to physically attack the water crystal.

"Don't confuse gaming with reality!!"

The wounded Fallen Hellbeast roared at its idiot partner again.

"Haha, actually, I also planned to say whether it is feasible to use physical attacks to test it, but I didn't expect to be preempted by you."

Smiling, Ryder looked at Lilithmon.

"Lilithmon, can you try it first?"

"Since it's Ryder's request, I'll give it a try."

With Nazar's claw stretched out on her right wrist, Lilithmon prepares to shatter the crystal.

"Let me try it first! The multi-way beast is in its growth period now, and even if the attack is rebounded, I won't take much damage. ”

For the sake of its companions, the multi-way beast took the place of Lilithmon and attacked the crystals first, and metal balls were released from its mouth and shot at one of the crystals.

With the 'Smack-!! The crystal quickly cracked all over the place, and finally turned into a pile of shards of glass.

"Great! Physical attacks really work! ”

Kaye was delighted with the results of the multi-way beast.

"I'm not wrong at all~~"

Looking at the stunned Fallen Hell Beast, Yabei looked proud.

"Uncle Ben knows! Less proud!! ”

After the Fallen Hell Beast with an extremely aggrieved heart made the yang electron cannon connected to his right wrist disappear, he directly smashed the water crystals in mid-air one by one with his bare hands to vent his anger.

"Sometimes I really admire Yabei's strange intuition."

Together with the Fallen Hellmon, she shatters the crystals that continue to appear with her physical attacks, and Lilithmon lazily complains at her.

"Fallen Hellbeast, Lilithmon, cover is up to you!"

As she moved on, Julia entrusted the safety of everyone to the two Digimon.

"No problem, we'll keep everyone safe. Go ahead! ”

Nodding, Lilithmon agreed, and proceeded to shatter the crystals that had suddenly appeared.

In this way, the four humans continued to move forward under the cover of the Digimon. Of course, navigating the world tree isn't that simple. The road formed by the tree trunk is not only very unstable in shape, but also has a large difference in height. Whenever you encounter this kind of terrain, you have to climb it to keep going. Especially for the shorter Yabei, it takes Kaye's help to climb to a high place to be pulled up smoothly. Moreover, the crystals that served as the defense system of Igudo Lahir also continued to appear.

Everyone can't remember how long they have been running, but Yabei, who was always full of energy, is panting tired at the moment, and his speed of action has slowed down a lot. And Lilithmon, the fallen hellbeast that kept shattering the crystals along the way, also had a tired expression on her face.

"No, I can't run"

Leaning against the wall, Yabei felt his legs ache.

"Hmph, you're useless."

The equally exhausted Fallen Hellbeast did not forget to ridicule Kia North.

"You're not qualified to talk about me, are you?"

Yabei Horse face.

"It seems that the crystals are not appearing."

Looking around, Kaye didn't notice the crystals appearing.

"yes, but don't take it lightly right now."

During a brief break, Lilithmon continued to take on its ultimate form. Even if the crystals don't continue to appear, they are still in the enemy's domain, so they still need to be vigilant at all times.

"Guys, we're here."

Ryder wiped the sweat from his forehead as he stared at the map image displayed by D-ark.

"Is it there?! Where's Daddy?! ”

Obeying Ryder's words, Kaye asked with a little emotion.

"Come with me, after all, I've been here."

Returning to the place where Ah Hai was imprisoned again, Julia suppressed the excitement in her heart and said in a slightly calm tone; Lead everyone in a certain direction and walk through.

Kaye was greeted by a prison made of tree trunks, and a ragged male was standing in front of the prison's fence.

"Daddy Daddy !!"

Seeing his father, whom he hadn't seen for ten years, Kaye rushed forward excitedly.

Compared with ten years ago, my father is much thinner than in the past, and his original clean face is also covered with stubble. And he also had a hideous scar on his chest. Looking at the scar on his father's chest, Kaye felt sad in his heart, he knew the truth about the scar on his father's chest.

Separated from his family, he can't stop his friends who made mistakes, and his father, who is imprisoned in the World Tree alone, must have endured a lot of suffering during this long time. But even though he suffered a cruel fate, Dad's eyes were still full of light and firmness. Thinking of this, Kaye felt a sour nose.

"You've grown a lot taller, Kaye. Don't forget that you're a boy, how can you cry. ”

The crying personality of the past has not changed. Seeing his son, whom he hadn't seen for ten years, Ah Hai smiled bitterly. He knew that Julia would tell Kaye the truth about his death and work with him to save him. But it's not something to be happy about letting your child risk his life to get him out.

"It's great that Dad didn't die, Mom, and Sakura have always missed you so much."

Holding back herself from crying, Kaye looked excited and happy that she had finally met her father.

“”

Looking at the reunited father and son, Yabei was silent. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly at Ah Hai, after all, her father was the culprit who killed Kaye's father.

"I'm sorry, Ah Hai, I brought the children here without permission."

Looking at Ahai, Julia apologized softly.

"I get it, Julia. You don't have to blame yourself, your actions are all expected by me."

Shaking his head slightly, Ah Hai continued to smile wryly.

"Actually, the Stubborn Beast told me everything. Maybe it's really fate, the 'children' who work hard for the digital world and the human world are all family members of the expedition members ten years ago."

That's right, whether it's Kamijokai, Tomoshi Osawa, or Aror and Albareaa, their children are the ones who are related to Digimon and are 'chosen'.

"I see, but before we do, we'll try to get you out of prison, Mr. Kamijo Hai."

Ryder, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the three of them, stepped forward and said politely.

"This useless prison was built by Igudo Rahir with his own strength, and it will not be destroyed easily."

Ah Hai is well aware of the solidity of the prison.

"Daddy, trust us! We're going to get you out! ”

Kaye didn't give up hope, he wanted to save his family.

"Fallen Hell Beast, try it first"

The silent Yabei finally spoke.

"Hmph, it's hard to get Uncle Ben."

As if it hadn't heard Ah Hai's words just now, the Fallen Hell Beast recalled the electron cannon on its right wrist, raised it with a confident expression, and aimed it at the prison door.

"Hey, stay away first. If you are beaten and injured, Uncle Ben doesn't care! ”

With a wry smile helplessly, Ah Hai walked to the corner that deviated from the range of the Yang Electron Cannon. Opening the muzzle of the Yang electronic cannon, the purple-red energy cannon shot out and rushed towards the cell door.

Seeing that the energy cannon could hit the prison door, but at this moment, the energy cannon suddenly exploded, as if it had hit an invisible obstacle.

"Lost, Failed"

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the Fallen Hell Beast was a little surprised. Unwillingly, he shot at the cell door again, but no matter how many shots he fired, the cage remained intact.

"Looks like the Guardian Barrier is stopping the attack."

Ryder, who saw why, was quick to explain.

"Then use my curse to corrupt the cage instead."

The Fallen Hellmon failed, and Lilithmon walked to the cage and stretched out Nazar's claws to touch the cage. A black curse power appears and attaches to the claws to enhance the effect.

Fifteen minutes later

"I'm sorry, but my curse power doesn't work either"

His strongest curse power still kept the prison unaffected, and Lilithmon was somewhat devastated.

"Lilithmon, it's okay, you've worked hard."

Patting her partner on the shoulder, Ryder comforted her.

"After all, this prison was built by Igudo Lahir."

"What the hell are we supposed to do to save Daddy?"

Both Fallen Hellmon and Lilithmon have failed, and Kaye is frustrated and doesn't know what to do.

"Guys, I'm glad you came to save me. That's enough, though."

Even if he can't be rescued, Ah Hai is still glad that everyone has been thinking about himself.

"Dad, we won't give up on you!"

Even if there was no way to save Ah Hai, Kaye never gave up.

"Kaye, I'll try to bite the cage off too!"

Supporting Kaye's hopes, the multiwaymon stepped forward, opening its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth hidden in its mouth, trying to gnaw through the branches that formed the cage.

[It's useless, you can't break my power.] ]

At the same time, a terrifying mechanical voice of feminine bass accents came to everyone's heads. Then, a white mechanical figure suddenly fell from the sky and broke into everyone's field of vision.

"Igudola Hill!"

Kaye's eyes widened instantly, and he said out loud the identity of the person who came.

"It's a bit bad that 'God' actually appeared before us in person"

With a wary look on its face, Lilithmon was ready for battle.

"Igudo Lahir, please let my dad go! Daddy, he didn't do anything wrong, he was innocent! ”

Kaye plucked up his courage, looked directly at Igudo Lahir, and said loudly.

[Breaking his oath without reflecting on the sins committed by humanity and favoring the culprits responsible for the disasters that have brought disaster to the digital world.] The man must be punished and will be held hostage forever. ]

Igudo Rahir's voice does not contain any emotion.

"Oaths? Dad, what the hell is going on? ”

Not understanding what the oath meant, Kaye looked at Hai.

"Five years ago, Chishi led mercenaries into the digital world to torture and kill innocent Digimon, and his actions were completely unexpected, and from that time on, Igudo Rahir planned to order the royal knights to kill him and punish the human world as a warning."

Under everyone's gaze, Ah Hai told the truth.

"I don't believe that Chishi would do such a heinous act. In order not to let friends be killed, to avoid the attack on the human world, and to let hatred spread. So I swore to Igudorahiel with my own life that such a tragedy would never be repeated, and that it would trust humanity. Results"

[Once again, the culprit has committed heinous sins, even pushing the Digital World to the brink of extinction.] Even if you chosen by the Digimon are trying to 'rebel' against fate, it will not be able to completely undo the tragedy. ]

[I don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, but the stupid idea of favoring the culprit cannot be forgiven.] ]

It seems that Igudo Lahir is not unsympathetic.

"Igudo Rahir! The only one who can stop the culprit is Kamijokai, and if you don't want Osawa to continue to wreak havoc on the Digital World, let Kamijokai be free immediately! ”

Hoping only to save Ahai, Julia spoke out to the 'gods' with a tough attitude.

"If you don't trust us, then take me as a hostage instead of Kamijokai! It doesn't matter if it's even at the risk of my life! ”

"Julia, you can't do this!"

Completely unable to agree with Julia's request, Ahai prevents her from continuing.

"Captain Julia"

Kaye and Yabei looked at Julia in surprise.

"Add me as a hostage. Ten years ago, I was also responsible for allowing humans to trespass into the digital world, leading to future disasters. ”

Even Ryder said so.

"Ryder, you don't need to be a hostage."

Lilithmon objected to her partner's decision to take matters into her own hands.

Faced with the exchange request of the two humans, Igudora Hill did not react.

"Then take me hostage! The culprit is my father, and if you take me hostage to him, you might be able to stop him easily! ”

Even Yabei has joined the ranks of the 'hostage exchange program'.

"Your dad doesn't care about you at all! Even if you become a hostage, do you think he will react?! ”

Very angry at Yabei's chaos, the Fallen Hell Beast directly poked Yabei's sore spot.

"Shut up, you're not allowed to mention this!"

Yabei was almost angry with the cruel truth.

[You don't have any exchange value.] ]

Igudo Rahir's voice does not contain any emotion.

"Igudo Rahir, please let Kaye's father go! Only Kaye's dad can stop the culprit. ”

The multi-way beast is also pleading with Igudorahir.

"Moreover, the 'Ark Project' you carried out has left the Digital World in tatters, and many innocent Digimon have lost their lives. Your actions are simply as extreme as the culprit, without any difference! ”

In response to the multi-way beast's pleas, Egudorahir still did not respond.

"Igudo Rahir, what the hell should we do so that you can let Daddy go?!"

Preparing for the worst, Kaye questioned the 'gods'.

"Except to kill my uncle, if we promise you anything to make up for the mistakes made by humanity, we will prove our resolve. Can you grant our request?! ”

"Please, please give us a chance!"

[Okay, I give permission]

After a brief moment of silence, Igudo Lahir agreed to Kaye's request. Hearing the permission, everyone showed surprised expressions.

"So what should we do?"

The multi-way beast asked it eagerly.

[Destroy the awakened Calamity Dragons and terminate the Ark Project.] ]

This is the last chance that 'God' has given them.
