Chapter 151: The True Body of the Lord of Calamity; Mina's 'Despair'

Okay, so I'd like to start by explaining something about the Light Beast.

Hey? You say I'm familiar with the Lightmon? No, the relationship between me and him is only the level of acquaintance, not much contact. Seriously, I don't know him very well, aside from knowing that he is arrogant and has a lot of ambition. In fact, he has a very good relationship with the Light Beast, and it is the Ultimate Demon Beast that understands him. Well, it's been defeated by us anyway, so let's move on to the topic.

However, before that, it is better for me to briefly explain the history of the 'Seven Demon Kings', and it is important to know more. Of course, me and the little demon beast are also one of the demon king little demon beasts! Don't make such a loud noise when you snack, you'll disturb my thoughts! Ahem, I know that Ryder doesn't have to worry about stupid juniors. Shut up, stupid! Ryder, what's wrong with you? Ah, I see, I'll go ahead and explain. It's okay, I understand your feelings

The 'Seven Demon Kings' -- are also the Demon Kings in charge of the 'Seven Deadly Sins.' They are Lilithmon, which represents '**', that is, me; A fallen hellbeast that represents 'gluttony'. Yes, it's you, little demon beast, you didn't listen to me seriously at all, and I didn't bother to bother with you. Then there is Barubamon for 'Greed', Belfimon for 'Laziness', Ultimate Warmon for 'Anger', Leviatamon for 'Jealousy', and finally Lightmon for 'Arrogance'.

More than 1,000 years ago, it was indeed our 'Seven Demon Kings' who brought calamity. As for the reason, each Demon King has a different purpose for his own purpose, and they all want to 'rule' the digital world in their own way.

Kaye, aren't you saying that the 'Seven Demon Kings' are not an organization? Of course not, the 'Seven Demon Kings' are actually independent, not the same organization. In addition to the Ultimate Demon Beast and the Light Beast, there is not a lot of contact between the 'Demon King'. The time of the birth of 'we' is also different, but each demon king follows his own '**' to decide his own fate. The reason why 'we' are called the 'Seven Demon Kings' is also because we are in charge of different sins. However, the common feature of the 'Demon King's Birth' is that it was chosen by the 'Gate of Great Sin' and given power.

No one knows where the Gate of Great Sins came from, it's a very ancient existence anyway, and even the Light Beast itself doesn't know where the Gate came from. Perhaps it is a product from another unknown world, and the 'Gate of Mortal Sins' is engraved with seven badges representing the 'Seven Deadly Sins'. Digimon with qualifications will be chosen by the Gate and grant power, but I'm sure that the transformation of Lightmon into the Lord of Calamity must have something to do with the Gate of Sin. Therefore, in the past wars, the 'gate' could not be easily destroyed

Alright, Yabei, I'll talk about the Lightmon now. Even if you put on a look of deep hatred, it's useless, sin is sin, and it won't change just because Daze is a possessed victim. What's more, all his hatred is real, even if it's 'revenge', it's all out of sincerity, you actually understand it, right? Well, Mr. Uejo, Kaye, I'll stop irrelevant topics.

As I mentioned earlier, Lightmon is an arrogant and ambitious Digimon. He hopes to replace 'Igudo Rahir' as the new 'god' of the digital world and regain dominance over the digital world. Igudo Lahir also said that after the war of a thousand years ago, the 'Lord of Calamity' was sealed. I think that the Luminous Beast was just ** destroyed, and his spirit still exists. The 'Gate of Great Sin' was supposed to merge with his spirit and become his new strength

Even if the power of the seal will get weaker and weaker over time. The Light Beast that has fused with the Gate of Sin can't completely leave the seal, and he has also said that it is still two Demon Lords' Digi Cores before it can fully descend. Then, only when the Gate of Great Sin gathers all the power of 'Sin' will the Lightmon break the seal

"As a result, in the end, we still don't get useful information."

Listening to the chaotic information compiled by the Black Dilu Beast, Yabei's mood was still anxious at the moment.

"Daddy, he's been completely used by the Lightmon, and we don't even know where the Lightmon is now! How on earth are we going to find the Lightmon? If you continue to let that guy do whatever he wants, Daddy will definitely be used by him to death."

"The 'Lord of Calamity' said it would wait for us, and it must now be using its power to make the seal weaker. Although it can't escape the seal, at least it can distort the dimension of the world and make the sealed land manifest. ”

The multi-way beast with the information that Igudo Rahir knew, spoke his mind.

"We can wait for the Sealed Lands to appear and then finish up with it."

"But will the Lightmon really make it easy for us to appear in front of it and settle with it?"

Kaye doesn't think it's as simple as she thinks.

"In order to get the last two 'sin' powers, it will certainly 'invite' us."

The Hemdilummon added, then looked at Yabei.

"If possible, Osawa will be a sacrifice."

"What are you kidding!! Daddy, he shouldn't have any value, why would he let the guy be a sacrifice when he could be abandoned? It's so weird!! ”

Hearing the possibility of what the Black Dilumon said, Yabei said loudly with emotion.

"Calm down, Yabei"

Kaye hurriedly comforted the emotional Yabei.

"Hedilumon is just talking about the possibility, maybe Uncle is just being used as a hostage to restrain us, right?"

"That man has no value as a hostage, and the likelihood of being a sacrifice is high."

Not caring about Yabei's mood at all, the tone of the black dilummon was even more affirmative.

"Damn, why don't you give me a little hope!!"

Pounding the table hard, Yabei said unwillingly.

"Hedilumon, I know you're highly probable. But at the very least, I hope you can be considerate of our feelings. Chishi is Yabei's father and my friend, and all we can do now is pray that he is safe and sound."

Looking at the Black Dilu Beast, Ah Hai Zhengse said, and he didn't blame it.

"Hmph, you still have to die of this heart, Daze will not be saved!"

Eat all the snacks, the little demon beast said angrily. In the hidden base, when you see the demon shadow appearing from behind Osawa, you can sense that the dangerous aura emitted by the other party is not something that ordinary people can bear.

"When the Lord of Calamity appeared, that guy was going to kill you. But in the end, he said, 'If it weren't for the fact that this fragile skin could not bear the mighty force, I would have annihilated you without mercy.' In fact, at that time, his body had already begun to show abnormalities. Humans are not able to withstand great power, and it is only a matter of time before they die. ”

"So, anyway, that man will die because of the 'Lord of Calamity', so I just don't care about him. We might as well find a way to become stronger, defeat the Lightmon and avenge him! Stop it!! It hurts!! ”

"Ahhhh!!h Little Demon Beast -- !! ”

The little demon beast's unintentional sincerity successfully diverted the hatred, and Yabei's emotions completely exploded and began to beat the little demon beast.

"Stop!! Asia North !! Can't you play as a partner!! ”

"Calm down! It's not good for partners to hurt each other! ”

Seeing the violence happening in front of them, Kaye and the Multi-Way Beast hurried to stop Yabei.

"Okay, okay, you guys don't quarrel"

Ah Hai also joined in the dissuasion.

"Stupid, let's tell the truth."

The black demon beast said helplessly, the truth of the little demon beast is more excessive than himself.

"Ha, I'm sorry, I'd better leave first."

Somewhat absent-minded, Ryder ignored the noisy junior, and he stood up, intending to leave the conference room early. If it was the usual Ryder, he must have stopped the dispute between the partners with a smile on his face.

"Ryder, I'm with you too"

"No, Hedilumon, I want to go alone."

Ryder refuses to be accompanied by the Hedluxon.

"Okay, remember to say hello to Mina for me, and be sure to take care of your own safety next time."

The Hemdylummon of course understands where Ryder is going, and asks Ryder to convey his concern to her.

"Definitely."

With a reluctant smile, Ryder left the conference room.

"I wish Mina would accept Ryder's wishes"

Watching his partner leave, the Darklumon's tone was slightly bitter.

―1―

Outside the infirmary, I saw the Divine Angel Beast standing by the door waiting, his expression very solemn.

"It's hard to wait."

Seeing the Divine Angel Beast, Ryder naturally greeted him.

"Captain Julia and Lilacmon are treating Mina inside, and she's badly injured"

The Divine Angel Beast said a little absent-mindedly, and began to blame itself.

"I shouldn't have left Mina alone. If I had found Mina at that time and stayed by her side, maybe she wouldn't have been harmed."

"Letting my important family members hurt, I really can't face the trust that Alex and Emma put in me"

"You don't have to blame yourself, it was a complete accident. Thanks to Mina's efforts, we will be freed from the warped space and reunited with everyone. ”

Hiding a truth, Ryder comforted the Divine Angel Beast. He knew that Mina had deliberately broken away from the Divine Angel Beast at that time.

"If it weren't for the vampire beast that appeared in time to protect her, I'm afraid Mina would really be killed by the 'Lord of Calamity'."

"Mina is on the verge of death, and it has something to do with the inaction of the Vampire Monster!!"

Hearing Ryder mention the Vampire Beast, the Divine Angel Beast's emotions quickly became excited.

"As Mina's partner, he should return to his partner to protect her safety after assisting Mina in removing the spatial warp! Protecting the safety of human partners is also Digimon's responsibility!! It was because of his dereliction of duty that Mina was almost killed by the Lord of Calamity!! ”

"That damn Dark Digimon didn't even take its partner's life into account! He also doesn't qualify to be Mina's partner! ”

"I understand your feelings, Holy Angel Beast. But in public, you should be quiet."

Seeing that the Holy Angelmon had always had a deep grudge against the Vampire Beast, Ryder stopped him from continuing to complain.

Just then, the infirmary door opened, and Lilacmon and Julia walked out of the infirmary.

"What's wrong? Holy Angelmon. Did you quarrel with Ryder? It's loud. ”

Lilacmon looked at the Holy Angelmon a little strangely, for his voice was so loud that both of the people in the infirmary could hear his roar.

"I'm sorry I just vented my emotions"

The Divine Angel Beast apologized a little embarrassed.

"Next time, be careful, the patient is resting in the infirmary and needs to be quiet."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

"Captain Julia, how's Mina doing?"

Ryder asked Julia directly.

"She was lucky that the wound that had been deeply penetrated by the sharp object was just half a centimeter away from her heart. If you hit the heart directly, you will die on the spot. ”

Sighing softly, Julia motioned for the two not to be too nervous, hoping that they would be optimistic.

"You don't need to worry too much, the medical technology in the digital world is more advanced than in the human world. Now, the superficial wounds have healed. It only took three days for her to be fully healthy. ”

"However, she was still weak because of a little blood loss. Also, Miss Mina has not been hit hard, and her mental state seems to be a little unstable. ”

Lilacmon recounted Mina's current condition and expressed concern. He could only heal her physical wounds, but not her mental wounds.

"Leave the wounds of the 'eldest lady' to me to heal."

With a look of anticipation, Ryder smiled.

"You can visit her now, but please don't 'irritate' her. Especially you, Ryder. ”

Not wanting Ryder to be 'self-defeating,' Julia reminded him.

"It's alright, Captain Julia, I'll accompany Ryder to see Mina. As long as I'm here, I won't let her get hurt in any way. ”

Glancing at Ryder, the Divine Angel Beast smiled reluctantly.

It seems that he has been misunderstood as a bad person who has 'non-divisive thoughts' for Mina, Ledelo thought helplessly.

"Alright, Miss Julia and I are going to check on the Stubborn Beast's health. You must get along well, the injured girl actually needs to be cared for~~"

Not quite understanding the meaning of the words of the few people, the Lilacmon simply asked the two to care about their injured companions.

"No problem~~"

With a reassurance, Ryder and the Holy Angel Beast walked into the infirmary together.

※※※※※

The infirmary was quiet, and Mina, who had changed into a hospital gown, was lying in a daze in the open regeneration tank. Her face was haggard and her eyes were dull

"Ryder? Divine Angelmon? ”

Hearing the sound of the automatic door opening, Mina looked in the direction of the door, and it was the person she knew best.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood, if you don't mind, I'll get you back smiling."

Ryder smiled mischievously, planning to use his 'specialty' to make Mina's mood better.

"A good mood is good for physical and mental recovery."

"Sorry, I don't want to be 'pleased' yet"

It was coldly rejected.

"Mina, you look really unmotivated, and if you have any troubles, it's better to say it."

Looking at Mina's lowered face, the Divine Angel Beast said worriedly.

"I don't know if I should face the future"

Her voice wasn't loud.

Mina must be confused, right? Bing Xue is smart, in fact, she has always understood the reality she faces. Comforting or encouraging her easily will only make her more depressed. So, instead of talking, Ryder and the Holy Angelmon listened to her troubles.

"I don't want anyone around me to be in a desperate situation. It's really sad and painful to watch someone important die and be unable to do anything about it."

"In order not to let the people around me die, I did extreme acts"

(Extreme behavior?) ）

Suddenly, the Divine Angel Beast had a bad premonition. I don't know what she did, but it must have something to do with being attacked by the Lord of Calamity. Suppressing the doubts in his heart, the Divine Angel Beast continued to listen patiently.

"But then, I failed"

At the mention of failure, Mina smiled slightly wryly.

"Maybe that's the retribution I suffered for my 'inadequacy'."

"I made the realization that I would bear any price, but in the end I regretted it"

"Mina"

The Divine Angel Beast could see that she was genuinely uneasy.

"I was terrified of the moment when humanity was really very small in front of the 'Lord of Calamity' and was killed"

"Fear of death, fear of torment, fear of despair of the future"

Mina muttered to herself.

"I regret that I was blindly confident in facing the 'Lord of Calamity', and I regret that I was not able to stop the destined future"

"Mina, what is the destined future?"

As for the 'destined future', the Holy Angelmon cares a lot.

“”

Looking at the Divine Angel Beast, Mina opened her mouth slightly to reveal the secret in her heart, but in the end she gave up. Just silent

Her expression was hesitant.

"That's right, I see"

Nodding slightly, Ryder understood what Mina was worried about. After all, the Divine Angel Beast doesn't know that the 'eldest lady' also hides her 'true' self, just like herself.

"Holy Angel Beast, leave us private time now."

Turning his gaze to the Holy Angel Beast, Ryder smiled very 'friendly'.

"Wait a minute, how suddenly?!"

"Of course, I want to open up with the 'eldest lady', so I don't need a third party to be present yet."

He interrupted the Holy Angel Beast's words.

"The third party? Am I that untrustworthy? ”

"It's because I want to be alone with Mina that you're going to make us feel distressed. But if you really don't want to leave, I don't mind ignoring your presence and going on a 'love offensive' in the face of the 'big lady'. The injured fragile girl is in great need of being soothed and healed from the pain of her heart. ”

Ryder teased the Holy Angel Beast with 'malice'.

"I'm sure you'll be embarrassed to blush and heartbeat when you witness it~~"

"Please be serious, Ryder."

The Divine Angel Beast that was ridiculed was a little angry.

"I know you want to be alone with Mina to get down to business, I just want to be able to help you."

"Holy Angelmon."

At this point, Mina finally spoke.

"Actually, I want to be alone with Ryder too, please leave us personal time, thank you."

His 'truth' must have been noticed by Ryder. But at least, Ryder can be trusted. Mina decides to tell Ryder the hidden truth, which she needs to recount.

"Okay"

Following Mina's words, the Divine Angel Beast left the infirmary a little helplessly. It seems that he can't fully help Mina. But if she gets along with Ryder, she doesn't have much to worry about. After all, Ryder knows Mina better than he does, and he must be able to guide her well.

"Hehe, the 'light bulb' is finally gone."

Watching the Holy Angel Beast leave, Ryder let out a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at Mina and pretended to be relaxed.

"Well, tell me the truth, and I'll share the pain with you."

"Because I, like you, hide my true 'self' in the deepest part of my heart"

※※※※※

In the break room, looking at the screen full of words written on the communicator, the Divine Angelmon hesitated whether to pass on information about Mina's current condition to her partner who stayed in the human world.

――I regret it――

-- The moment I was killed, I was in fear of death, of torment, of despair of the future --

-I regret that I am not capable of stopping the destined future--

Remembering Mina's words, the Divine Angel Beast's expression became solemn, and it began to think about its future plans

Is it really good to keep Mina fighting?

Human beings only have one life, and to die means to lose everything

No one really wants to lose their life. The value of life is immeasurable and should be cherished

It was my responsibility to protect her life, and I lived up to my partner's expectations of me.

Mina can't put her life in danger again, she has to do something. Mina doesn't have to take on responsibilities that don't belong to her

After thinking about it for a long time, the Holy Angelmon turned off the communicator, and instead of sending the message, he made a certain decision.

That is to send Mina back to the human world.
