Chapter 153: Cooperation; The decision of the Holy Angel Beast

Inside the red flying ship -- in the temporary workshop dedicated to molecular beasts, the vampire monster stood alone in front of the terminal. Unlike usual, the Molecular Beast did not continue to stay in front of the terminal to gather intelligence. Instead, he 'obeyed' the 'commission' of the vampire beast, and with the consent of the infinite drakemon, he temporarily took control of the control center of the flying ship to hinder the 'unreasonable' and 'self-righteous' divine angel beast.

Two-thirds of the screen is used to monitor information in the cabin and around the world. The other one-third of the screens show details of the different Ultimate Digimon that will last to fight the Lord of Calamity.

In particular, Alphamon, Fallen Hellmon, Lilithmon, and the newly evolved 'Bram Vampire Monster', the four Digimon that were 'chosen', and the four human partners who were 'chosen' must be invited to the 'Lord of Calamity's special 'care'. Before you start a battle with an unknown enemy, you have to come up with a more appropriate tactic. The combat environment, way of thinking, intuitive reactions, and cooperation and assistance are all links that cannot be ignored, and for the other three 'temporary comrades' who have different ideas, the vampire monster itself does not have much expectation of them, they will definitely fight in their own way and follow the command and assistance of their human partners

In retrospect, he was the only one who had never been ordered to fight by his partner. My partner has always left the decision to himself in the form of advice, and respects his own wishes and choices, and does not interfere too much. For her, there is no command and order relationship between partners, but rather understanding each other as different individuals.

Looking at the information of the four Ultimate Digimon, the Vampire Demon Beast first thought of its partner. Mina. Albarea, as your partner, I will assist you until the last moment.

Even if you are confused, desperate, and follow your own 'instincts', the essence of being human will not change. You are a 'human being', and it is enough for you to continue to act according to your own will in accordance with the 'human nature' and show your due value. Human beings are gray beings with both 'good' and 'evil', and although they are stupid and weak, they have infinite possibilities.

Vampire Monster has always believed in her partner's true abilities, even if she will 'make mistakes', all negative reactions are normal human behavior, and there is nothing to be disappointed in.

As a hidden third party, the Vampire Beast uses the function of D-ark to quietly listen to the conversation between Ryder and Mina. The so-called 'truth' is just a metaphor for the dark side of the heart, which is usually used to be satisfied with the strong negative side of oneself. But Mina's 'truth' is not the dark side of the heart, and it has nothing to do with negativity**; It is the 'instinct' to think about what should be done for the sake of the 'result' and to act on that basis. This 'instinct' is based on the original intention to think about others, and the determination to take responsibility and prove one's own abilities.

I have to admit that Ryder. Arnor played a big role in Mina's psychological 'guidance'. Because of the power of her words, Mina quickly got rid of her confusion. And under her simple reminder, she saw the future choices more clearly, and she who would not give up her consciousness also got better growth.

Her choices and consciousness need to be recognized and respected.

For Ryder, who hovers on the edge of 'chaos' and 'order', he is actually the second human to be truly recognized by the vampire beasts, and has a high evaluation. Among the four human partners, Ryder. Arnoor's comprehensive ability is the highest. In each battle, his mindset and reflexes are top-notch, and he can find the best way to solve the immediate disadvantage in a short period of time by observing.

Perhaps, let him be used as an opportunity. In order to be fully prepared for the battle against the 'Lord of Calamity' in the near future, the Vampire Beast intends to 'borrow' Ryder's 'power'. In the past, I would have been dismissive of having a 'cooperative relationship' with humans. But in order to witness the possibility of humanity, and the irreparable end that caused her to be changed. The Vampire Beast will do its best to help her, and will be willing to try.

"Mina, you don't need to worry about the trouble now, and I'll take care of the rest of the matter."

"Ryder?"

"Trust me, no problem."

Signaling Mina not to worry too much about her worries, Ryder smiled mischievously and walked out of the infirmary.

In the corridor of the flying ship, Ryder was walking in the direction of the Molecular Beast's workshop. Holding the authentication card that he had 'borrowed' from the puppet beast, he gently swiped the input, and with the sound of 'beep~', the light of the inputter turned green, and the door of the workshop opened automatically.

He swaggered into the Molecular Beast's workshop, and sure enough, the Vampire Beast was there.

"'Work' is hard, and the vampire monster has good news for you, Mina's treatment is successful, and she will be fully healthy in about three days."

Noticing the various surveillance footage and Digimon data on the screen, as well as the missing Molecular Beast, Ryder gave a small smile of unknown significance. As Mina said, the Vampire Beast must have made some kind of preparation to prevent the Holy Angel Beast from messing with it.

"The excuse of the 'privilege' to enter the workshop alone to meet me wasn't just to tell me about her treatment, Ryder. Arnoor. ”

Turning around, the red eyes of the vampire beast looked at Ryder for a moment, his purpose was obvious.

"There's no need to beat around the bush and explain what you mean, Ryder. Arnoor. ”

"Haha, you don't need to say such 'cold and ruthless' words."

Ryder, who was naturally seen through, smiled a little helplessly.

"It's not a bad thing to let the good Digimon know the physical condition of their human partner, Vampire. I understand that you are not visiting Mina because of the accident of her injury, and the prejudice of the Holy Angel Beast against you has become even worse. But as a friend who 'loves' Mina, I also have the right to tell you about the health of 'Miss'. ”

"Besides, I owe you a favor. When necessary, of course, it must be repaid. ”

That's right, whether it's the saving grace of the past to yourself; Saving Mina from the 'Lord of Calamity' not long ago is a completely trivial matter for a vampire beast, but it is undoubtedly the greatest favor for Ryder. So, when necessary, Ryder genuinely wanted to 'repay' the Night Lord's 'kindness'.

"By the way, I'm almost giving this back to you."

With that, Ryder took out the communicator that Mina had given him and returned it to its original owner.

"I don't need it anymore, and for the sake of the possibility of the future, this communicator will definitely come in handy."

Perhaps there were more things to worry about, and Ryder's words were noticeably more.

"Before you start a battle with the Lord of Calamity, you should be well prepared, and I think you will definitely investigate your ultimate body data in detail to consider a new and suitable tactic."

The conversation began to get to the point.

"The conference room that has been specially adapted by the Infinite Drake cannot be eavesdropped on by the Molecular Beast. So, I can tell you in detail about the true identity of the 'Lord of Calamity'. As long as you know your identity, you can get more favorable information. ”

Without making a statement, the vampire beast motioned for Ryder to continue.

The 'Lord of Calamity' is the Lightmon who brought the greatest calamity to the digital world thousands of years ago and wants to replace Igudo Rahir as the new god. The Vampire Monster, one of the very few Digimon that survived the war a thousand years ago, must know the identity of the Lightmon.

The Light Beast of the past, after being defeated, was only ** destroyed, and his spirit still exists. Coming from another world, the 'Gate of Mortal Sin', which bestowed the power of the 'Seven Demon Kings', fused with his spirit and became the 'Lord of Calamity' outside the control of 'Igudo Rahir'. Since the end of the millennium war, the 'Lord of Calamity' has been sealed by 'Igudo Rahir'. Over time, the seal naturally weakens. The 'Lord of Calamity' is detached from the law and concept, and 'Igudo Rahir' cannot control it. Igudo Rahir, who rules the law of balance, must not interfere too much in the development of the digital world. Once it is out of the seal, the entire digital world will merge with it. The 'Lord of Calamity' will represent the Digital World itself, the will of the world. This is what Igudo Rahir himself told us

Hehe, I understand that you have no interest in the future of the digital world.

However, the Lightmon fused with the Gate of Sin will not be able to completely leave the seal, and it will only be possible for the Digicore of Lilithmon and Fallen Hellmon to fully descend. Only when the Gate of Mortal Sins gathers all the power of the 'Seven Deadly Sins' will the Lightbeast be unsealed. Of course, even without the Digicores of the two, the Lightmon will still rely on its own strength to slowly lift the seal, at most for a few more time. However, with what Hedilomon knows about the Illuminum, it will definitely invite everyone to the 'feast' with a 'grand' appearance in the near future, and the Illuminumon will not have much patience.

Haha, you don't seem to have much interest in the information of the Light Beast. Also, since it appears as the 'Lord of Calamity', it will definitely take on the evolution of another form to deal with us, and it is likely that it will be an alien monster that is not even a Digimon at all

However, if it's the final battle, the Lord of Calamity, who understands how we fight, won't easily ask you to help your partner Digimon increase their combat power with card assistance. Well, it's not a good idea to rely too much on cards

Of course, I also thought about it a lot, and it was thanks to a fierce battle between you and the ultimate monster in the human world that I was able to record useful information. In the worst-case scenario, the 'Lord of Calamity' will form an enchantment with his own power to directly close everyone's D-ark function, and neither information communication nor card assistance will be effective. After all, compared to Digimon partners, the Lord of Calamity will first and foremost treat us humans as a thorn in the side to eliminate potential threats.

If D-ark's power is completely restricted, it will be difficult for everyone to evolve, right? I also understand that D-ark restricts the evolution of Digimon partners by preserving energy and data. As with the Infinite Dragomon, D-ark simply represents a similar contractual relationship between the human and the Digimon partner, and if you want to maintain your evolved form permanently, you will probably have to wait until the human partner loses life before the contract is terminated. Of course, you don't want your human partner to die in order to maintain your evolutionary form.

"The Light of Evolution is the only 'miracle thing' that is not limited by any limitations."

Regarding the question of D-ark's Evolutionary Light, Vampire Monster made a bland addition.

"As long as it does not go beyond the maximum 300 meters of the human partner with the D-ark, the partner Digimon can activate the special functions of the D-ark and evolve itself by using its own will if the human partner is unconscious."

"So it's a miracle product created by the Digimon."

Secretly admired, it seems that he doesn't have to worry about the problem that his partner can't evolve.

"Ryder. Arnoor, I will use the information you provide as a detailed reference. ”

The Vampire Beast recognized the details provided by Ryder. The true body of the 'Lord of Calamity', the worst possibility of fighting is all under the consideration of both.

"With your ability to think, you'll definitely come up with the same suitable 'tactics'. I will use my 'knowledge' to make up for your 'tactical shortcomings', maximize the benefits of the 'team', and minimize the number of casualties. ”

(I see, I hope to work with me to combine the knowledge of Digimon and humans to come up with better tactics to deal with the Lord of Calamity.) ）

It's a bit of a surprise, but it's also reasonable. Ryder understands that the Vampire Beast is willing to give in and cooperate with himself who he recognizes for Mina's sake. Hehe, the personality charm of the 'eldest lady' has always been great. Of course, the vampire monster has a cold and cruel personality on the surface, but it will have a thoughtful and affectionate side to the existence worthy of his recognition.

"In my personal opinion, I suggest that you do not focus entirely on tactical command for the time being. With the personalities of Alphamon, Fallen Hellmon, and Lilithmon, their battles are more suitable for free play. And my tactics can only be 'suggested', just for information. We judge the temporary 'tactics' of cooperation based on the situation of the battle, and I value the 'process' more than the result. For battlefield 'observation' is necessary. ”

After a slight pause, Ryder spoke his mind.

"Priority is still given to measures to protect human partners. In other words, in order to better protect the safety of the human partner and ensure that the function of the D-ark is not interfered with, its cards can smoothly assist the partner Digimon in battle. Protective measures should be developed to prevent the 'Lord of Calamity' from threatening the lives of human partners. ”

"If something happens to us, it will also have a big impact on the Digimon partner."

"Guarding the defensive device of the human partner, I will hand it over to the molecular beast to develop in the fastest time."

Without rejecting Ryder's idea, Vampire agreed that he would prioritize conditional measures to protect his human partner first.

"Also, humans are selfish and greedy. On top of that, I need more possibilities for change, even if it's for her to get out of the end alone."

With a sly smile, Ryder's purpose became even more apparent.

"What the ending is, I will bear it for her."

Cab -

"Molecular Beast, as a subordinate of the Vampire Beast, why did you appear in the cab?"

Seeing that the molecular beast that was supposed to be forbidden by the Infinite Dragon Beast to interfere with the operation of the flying ship was standing in the center of the wheelhouse, whistling happily while checking the operation system of the Divine Angel Beast, he asked with a black line on his face.

"I remember that the Infinite Drake forbade you to operate a flying ship."

"You have a bad memory, Holy Angelmon. I'm not the vampire's subordinate, that guy is just my 'employer'. ”

Correcting the mistake, the Molecular Beast added in order to prove its 'intelligence'.

"I asked for the permission of the Infinity Drake to temporarily take charge of the flying ship in the place of the Puppeteon. Hawkers, don't look at me with suspicion, I won't lie~~ What's more, the flying ship is only during the trial operation, of course, I need to be a 'professional' to conduct regular functional inspections. The Infinite Dragonbeast, which remotely monitors the situation inside the ship, has no energy to check the condition of the ship in detail, but it is now concentrating on monitoring me to complete the 'mission'. ”

"That's right."

It always feels like it's getting in the way.

"Actually, I hope you can help me drive the flying ship back to the City of Angels, and the injured patients need to be sent back to the human world for treatment."

The Divine Angel Beast directly explains the meaning.

"Hey, are you looking down on the medical technology in the flying ship? Compared to the human world, the medical equipment in the ship is more advanced. Although those regeneration tanks cannot cure the serious diseases of humans, at least they can make the injured body fully recover in a few days, and the human world must not be able to do it~~"

"No, that's not what I meant"

The Divine Angel Beast hurriedly shook its head, indicating that it did not look down on the technological equipment in the flying ship.

"Mina's mental condition is very bad, I just want to send her back to the human world, I don't want her to be involved in the war anymore"

Helplessly, the Divine Angel Beast told the truth.

"Healing the wounds of the soul may only be healed in the human world, and I don't want my important family members to be hurt again"

"So, please. Please send Mina back to the City of Angels."

His expression was very sincere.

"Mmmm, you're such a good angel for your family."

Nodding, the molecular beast put on a deeply moved expression.

"Unfortunately, your wish will not be granted."

"What?"

"I sympathize with you, Holy Angelmon. But one of the tasks that the vampire gave me was to forbid you to forcibly return the little girl to the human world against her mood and wishes. ”

Schadenfreude smiled, and the molecular beast told the truth.

"You mean it's forbidden to send back to the City of Angels?"

The face of the Divine Angel Beast turned gloomy, and that damn vampire beast deliberately embarrassed itself at this time!

"yes, that's right. Kind angel, I am also 'forced to be helpless', please don't be angry with me who is innocent. The object of your anger should be that vampire~~"

Pretending to be innocent, the Molecular Beast continued.

"Everyone in the ship is watching their every move, and of course he knows what you're trying to do. Well~~ Don't be too discouraged, it's not impossible if you want to send the little girl back. Just let my employer compromise~~"

"After all, you're not the little girl's Digimon partner, and he must feel that he has more authority than you to manage his partner's affairs, and your face is getting more and more ugly. The Vampire Beast is in my workshop, and I'm going to set up the gate for free entry and exit now, so let's go find him now. ”

deliberately adding fuel to the fire, it seems that there is a good show to watch.

"Abominable vampire beasts, don't be too presumptuous"

Not bothering to pay attention to the molecular beast that deliberately caused trouble, the Divine Angel Beast went straight to the 'culprit' with a blushing face.

"There's a good show to watch, the duel of 'competitors' must be very exciting~~"

The molecular beast has already seen the end.

[Fighting is forbidden in the flying ship, and you will be responsible for any damage to the parts.] ]

An image of the Infinite Drake appears on the screen in the cab, and the Infinite Drakemon, which has been remotely monitoring the Molecular Beast, appears appropriately, warning the Molecular Beast that likes to make trouble. The Infinite Dragonmon has no interest in so-called infighting, and only cares that its 'supreme masterpiece' will not be compromised for reasons of boredom.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool either. If something goes wrong with the flying ship, I'll be scolded by the puppet beast. ”

After seeing the image of the Infinite Dragon Beast on the screen, the Molecular Beast showed a dull expression. At the same time, he also said that he had his own arrangements, and he did not need to be too vigilant.
