Chapter 121: Knights of the World Tree, Royal Knights Gather!

"Hehe, even you know Omegamon."

Lilithmon chuckled dryly at Kaye's words, the expression on his face changing from uneasy to agitated, and said solemnly to the multi-way dragon beast and the fallen hellbeast that had risen from the craters in the ground.

"They're coming! It's better not to fight without permission! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several pillars of light appeared from the side of Omegamon and Sleipmon, and then disappeared, revealing several majestic Paladin Digimon in front of everyone.

Dressed in golden armor, it can defuse no matter how difficult the situation is, and it is an armored paladin-type golden armor drakemon that has evolved from the power of the 'Miracle Digital Spirit'.

Wearing the holy armor made of 'Blue Digimetal', which is also very rare among the Digitrons of Time, it is rumored to have god-like speed, and it is said to be able to liberate the power of the ancient and lodge the power of the future.

Dressed in heavy dark blue armor and with a creepy skull-like face, it is the most polite Digimon among the royal knights. Perfectionist Skullbeast.

and Paladin-type Digimon with a leopard-shaped head and a slender body that can transform into 'human' or 'leopard-like form' at will, and is recognized by other royal knights as the first strategist. A fragrant beast with a rare talent for commanding the royal knights who follow their own paths.

There is also a medieval knight wearing a bright red cape, a 'Digital Crisis' mark on his chest, and a white armor covering his body. It is both a virus and a guardian saint of the network, and it is an existence that contains contradictions, and once the balance collapses, it will become a dangerous Red Lotus Knight Beast.

Everyone's D-ark is showing the information of the royal knights one after another.

"Kaye, they're so strong"

Under the terrifying momentum of the seven royal knights surrounding everyone, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense, and even the multi-way battle dragon beast swallowed nervously, and even the flying movements became cautious.

"Seven royal knights, what should we do? Do you still want to fight? ”

Overwhelmed by the enemy's incredible presence, Kaye nearly lost the will to fight.

"Of course, it's trying to find a way to escape, and the seven ultimate bodies are very reluctant to deal with."

Yabei's heart was thinking about escaping, and the situation was really not good.

"Let's act first, don't fight Lilithmon just yet?"

Originally, Ryder planned to come up with a way to evacuate this place in the shortest possible time, but when he noticed that Lilithmon looked at the Aromatic Beast, a look of extreme disgust on his face, Ryder vaguely felt that she and the Aromatic Beast seemed to know each other, and had a strong sense of hatred. Fearing an accident, Ryder immediately reminded her.

"Lilithmon, no matter who the other party is, calm down first!"

"Don't worry, Ryder, of course I'll control my emotions"

Withdrawing the hatred on her face, Lilithmon regained its composure. And the aromatic beast just watched her silent, but its eyes showed mixed emotions.

But compared to Lilithmon, the temper of the Fallen Hell Beast was not so easy to contain, and after seeing the Red Lotus Knight Beast, the Fallen Hell Beast became inexplicably furious.

"It's you !!?"

Among the remaining memory fragments, the Fallen Hell Beast deeply remembered that this guy was the so-called 'friend' of the past, but in the end he killed himself!!

I don't know what the Red Lotus Knight Beast and his past are? I don't know why my former self fought him? However, it was once he who killed himself!

After seeing the Red Lotus Knight Beast, a strong unwillingness and inexplicable humiliation appeared from the heart of the Fallen Hell Beast again!

"It's you guy who once killed Uncle Ben!! Uncle Ben will never spare you!! ”

His eyes were full of hatred, and the furious Fallen Hell Beast ignored its current situation, raised its Yang Electron Cannon and fired wildly at the Red Lotus Knight Beast.

Omegamon was about to raise the steel Garurumon-shaped cannon attached to its right arm when the Red Lotus Knight Beast shook its head and stepped forward.

"Wow, ahhhh Stop wow!! Fallen Hellbeast!! You're going to anger them!! ”

The Fallen Hellbeast's unexpected actions have sent Yabei into a panic, and his actions are undoubtedly the fuse that will only lead everyone into a greater crisis.

"Even if you are reborn, you will never change again, Fallen Hellbeast"

The Red Lotus Knight Beast couldn't help but let out a wry smile, and its gaze quickly became cold. Immediately after, a red light emitted from his body, and the white armor on his body turned crimson. Feathered energy appears on the back. Wielding disembodied energy-like weapons, the Spear of Light and the Sword of Light, he easily slashed the Fallen Hellbeast with a beam of energy.

"It's time to finish! Fallen Hellbeast!! ”

The spear of light was thrown out by the Red Lotus Knight Beast, and a silver light pierced the chest of the Fallen Hell Beast like a meteor.

"Woo-ah-ah-ah!!"

The Fallen Hellbeast that had been hit by the God of Light Spear let out a scream again, and after being damaged by two heavy blows, he could not continue to maintain his ultimate form, and directly degenerated back into a little demon beast. Only then did the Red Lotus Knight Beast return to its original form.

"This is the price of provocation, right, little monster, are you okay?"

Picking up the injured little demon beast, Yabei complained while not forgetting to care about his partner.

"It's no wonder it's okay! Damn, that guy has something else to do."

The little demon beast stared at the Red Lotus Knight Beast with an unwilling face, it lost too badly today.

But the strife will not end easily, and instead of the wounded Sleipmon, he will follow the orders of Igudo Rahir. In the next second, the omegamon once again raised its steel Garuru-shaped cannon and aimed it directly at the three humans.

"Humanity, pay the price for your mistakes."

"Stop !!"

At the moment when Omegamon shot out the blue energy cannon, the multi-way dragon beast and Lilithmon immediately rushed in front of their partners and used their bodies to block Omegamon's attack.

The multi-way drake took on a defensive stance, while Lilith chanted incantations in an effort to resist the onslaught of energy.

The flash approached, and together they bore the burst of the assault.

A blinding white light shone brightly, and the sound of an explosion was followed by the mournful screams of multiple Dragonmons and Lilithmon. Kaye, Ryder, and Yabei, the three of them were already covered in white light. Yabei, who had his eyes closed, hugged the little demon beast tightly, with a frightened expression on his face.

All sounds and colors are swallowed up. All that was left was the impact of the Omegamon's attack. Even consciousness has become ethereal

※※※※※

"Alright, Daddy is leaving."

At noon on a sunny day, Kamijo Kai, who was carrying a duffel bag, was saying goodbye to his family outside his home.

"Ah Hai, you must come back safely"

Holding Sakura, who is still a baby, and Jen, who has a lonely smile on her face, sees off her husband. But she is confident that when this adventure from the digital world is over, Ah Hai will return to his family safe and sound, and the separation is only temporary.

"When is Daddy coming home?"

The young Kaye asked Ah Hai with a reluctant face.

"Actually, Dad isn't very sure."

Ah Hai scratched his head, a little distressed, and then he smiled heartily.

"But no matter how long it takes, Dad can promise that I will definitely return to you."

"So, when Daddy is away, Kaye must be a good boy and don't let Mom worry too much."

"Dad said it yesterday! I will promise my father to be a good boy and become a man, and I will not cry casually! ”

Touching the goggles that Ahai had given him around his neck, Kaye smiled innocently.

"Hehe, it's okay, Kaye has always been a good boy"

Jane smiled softly.

"Well, I'm leaving. You must take care."

After saying goodbye to his family, Ah Hai turned around and officially embarked on the journey.

"Daddy!! Bon voyage!!! ”

Running out of the house, Kaye waved his arms and shouted at the departing Ahai, conveying his thoughts and encouragement.

But since then--

In this world, Dad is no longer there.

It was a gloomy rainy day. Then, suddenly, several strangers came to the house. One of the strangers was very similar to his uncle, and they had been whispering something to his mother, and Kaye, who was hiding in the shadows, did not hear the conversation between the adults clearly, only to see that his mother showed a very sad expression.

As for the man who looked very much like his uncle, he showed a remorseful expression and kept apologizing to his mother. The mother smiled very reluctantly and shook her head gently at the man. After the strangers left, my mother sat down in front of the hallway, covering her face with her hands and crying.

Young Kaye didn't know why her mother was crying, but she thought that those strangers must have told her something bad, so she cried, right?

"Mom, don't cry"

Walking up to her mother and looking at her crying mother, Kaye was also saddened.

"I'm sorry Kaye's mom worried you"

Seeing her child looking at her with a sad face, Jane quickly wiped her tears with her hands and showed a gentle smile in the past, but her smile was full of sadness.

"As long as mom doesn't cry"

Kaye had always been a gentle child, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe tears from Jane's face.

"Now, Kaye"

Jane gently hugged her child.

"Mom?"

"Dad, he may never come back"

She choked softly.

"Kaye don't hold a grudge against Daddy, because he's already"

"It's okay! No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for my dad to come home! It's a man's appointment. ”

Kaye's unmistakable words were a fatal blow to Jane, and once again a sad expression appeared on her face.

Kamijokai is dead, so how can I confess to my child?

"Even if Daddy never comes back, will Kaye continue to wait for Daddy to come home?"

"Absolutely! Mom, why are you crying again? ”

Seeing her mom burst into tears again, Kaye panicked a little.

"Did I make a mistake that made my mother sad? I'm sorry, I'll fix it. ”

"No, Kaye is a good boy."

Shaking her head with tears in her eyes, Jane looked at Kaye with a sad expression. After an inner struggle, she decided to tell the cruel truth to her young children.

"Mom will make mistakes, will Kaye forgive me?"

"Mommy, I will!"

Looking at her mother's sad expression, Kaye wanted to ask why. Not wanting her mother to continue to be sad, Kaye chose to say things that made her mother happy.

"Actually, your father, he's a hero who saves his companions."

That's right, Kamijokai is a gentle and strong person who cares a lot about his companions. In order to save his troubled friend, Ah Hai died while defending his companion at the end of the day, and he was a hero

"So, ah, Ahai, he died because he saved his companions"

After telling Kaye the truth of the matter, Jane choked up.

"Daddy died?"

Kaye was just in a daze, not knowing if he was in reality. He nodded slightly, indicating that he was listening to his mother.

It was so quiet that only Jane's whimpering could be heard.

Daddy is dead

Always accompanied by himself, encouraged himself, and made people look forward to the death of his father?

Thinking of this, tears finally flowed from the corners of Kaye's eyes.

Are you dreaming?

Dad's hearty smile on a sunny day.

- No matter how long it takes, Dad can promise that I will definitely return to you. ――

What Dad said, Kaye will never forget.

"Whew"

I seem to be crying, I can't cry! I promised my father that I wouldn't cry anymore and that I wanted to be a man

Grabbing the goggles around his neck, Kaye placed them over his eyes. That way, no one will see themselves crying

―1―

Before I lost consciousness, it was as if I had a very, very sad dream.

Is it really just a dream? Or is it a forgotten memory?

Kaye woke up in a daze, and gradually saw everyone lying on the ground scarred. And the royal knights who attacked everyone were neatly lined up for some reason. They were all half-kneeling on the ground, bending slightly to salute a white being.

"Are you alright?!"

Not paying attention to the royal knights, Kaye looked at his companions who had regained consciousness and slowly rose from the ground with a worried expression.

"Kaye, the multi-way beast is alright"

The first to speak was the multi-way beast beside Kaye, and seeing that the multi-way beast was covered in injuries, Kaye showed a distressed expression.

"I'm fine, just Ledhemmon, thank you"

Gently stroking the head of the Ledhemmon, Ryder smiled wryly.

"Isn't it a matter of course to protect your partner?"

With a tired expression on his face, seeing that Ryder was fine, the Hedilummon was finally relieved.

"Little monster!! It's all because of you!! Everyone who hurt me almost died!! ”

Yabei, who was nine dead, grabbed the little demon beast and shook it vigorously, she said hysterically.

"I—I know it's wrong! Don't shake!! ”

The little demon beast that was shaken and turned quickly apologized to everyone, and it understood that everyone had almost lost their lives because of its mistakes. Therefore, the little demon beast actually regrets it very much.

"When we're really safe, you can teach the little monster a lesson, there's a terrible guy who has appeared."

The noise of Yabei and the little demon beast gave the Hydilumon a bit of a headache, and he didn't bother to scold them again, while the Darkurmon looked vigilantly at the white machinery that connected the thorns that appeared above the royal knights.

"Igudo Rahir _7D6 is an avatar created by the mysterious host 'World Tree', who rules everything in the digital world. Strictly speaking, it's not a Digimon, and it's also known as the god of the Digital World. It can emit 'crystal shards' and 'giant crystals', and has the ability to 'self-repair', so there are many things that are unknown."

Ryder's D-ark displays images of a white machine called 'Igudo Lahill'.

"Is it Igudo Rahir?"

Looking at the information displayed by D-ark, and the royal knights' reverence for that mechanical being, Ryder was even more certain that it was Igudo Rahir.

"Is this what Igudo Rahir really is?"

Thinking back to the war that defied the 'gods' thousands of years ago, and seeing the true colors of the 'gods', the Hedilumon muttered to himself.

"It's so different from what I imagined."

"You're Igudo Rahir, aren't you?!"

Finally seeing the legendary 'god' of the digital world, Kaye plucked up his courage and ran to Igudo Lahir, despite the surprised eyes of the royal knights.

"Now that the digital world and the human world are facing disaster, please save both worlds! Please! ”

"As a god, you can do it!"

[It is you humans who have been deceived by ** and brought disaster to the digital world]

A terrifying mechanical voice with a feminine bass accent came to mind.

[Human beings do not reflect on what they have done and have made great mistakes many times.] Your existence is harmless and not good. ]

"We are also trying to find a way to make up for the mistakes made by our uncle, it is precisely because of the calamity that the world is about to face, that the stubborn beast wants us to find you to help solve it"

Igudo Rahir's words are not wrong, and Kaye has to admit that it was humans who caused too many disasters in the digital world in the first place, and the person who caused the disasters was none other than Tomoshi Osawa.

"Because the possibilities for humans and Digimon are endless"

"I don't have anything to say to you, Igudo Lahir has made a decree to exterminate the homeland of the culprit as a warning to humanity."

Interrupting Kaye, the voice of Omegamon interjected into it.

"The home of the culprit of extermination? Are you going to destroy that nation? ”

Ryder quickly understood the other party's idea, destroying the country, this kind of behavior is very crazy.

"How could this not be true?"

Kaye then understood why the Sagemon said that the Royal Knight was also everyone's enemy.

[Ten years ago, after humans broke into the Digital World, humans tried to get rid of the Digimon unreasonably due to their own weakness. And, in order to save his own life, he even had strong negative feelings, so that the sealed 'Lord of Calamity' had a chance to take advantage of it. ]

Igudo Rahir's voice does not contain any emotion.

[In order to satisfy the destruction of **, the main culprit who was used did not hesitate to upset the balance between the human world and the digital world.] ]

[Even if they are used, the crimes committed by human beings are still unforgivable, so the human world must be punished as a warning.] ]

"What should we do so that you don't order the royal knights to destroy our homeland?"

Not wanting another fight, Kaye wants to be able to resolve the issue peacefully, and he asks Igudo Rahir.

[For the sake of the safety of the digital world, remove the culprit and give me his body to prove your determination to protect the world.] ]

The cold and merciless words were undoubtedly a major blow to Kaye.

"How is it possible to kill my uncle?"

Kaye's voice trembled slightly, how could anyone do such a thing as murder

"Igudo Rashi! What kind of god are you?!! ”

Yabei, who couldn't bear it anymore, directly dropped the little demon beast and ran over, pointing at Igudo Rahi and scolding.

"As a god of the Digital World, you have done nothing when there are so many disasters in the Digital World!!"

"Until now, you haven't done anything to save the Digital World. Even to blame all the faults on human beings! If you could have stopped it sooner, so many damn disasters wouldn't have happened!! ”

"Human! Hugh was rude to Igudo Rashi!! ”

Yabei's rude performance made the Red Lotus Knight Beast very displeased, and scolded.

"Shut up!"

Instead of scolding the Red Lotus Knight Beast, Yabei continued to lose his temper at Igudo Rahi.

"That's right! I'm the daughter who threw the digital world into disaster! Daddy's mistakes, we're sure to stop and find a solution to the calamity! ”

"But he's my family after all! I'm not going to kill him!! ”

"That idiot, you're provoking God."

Seeing Yabei losing his temper with Igudo Rahi emotionally, the little demon beast nervously pinched a cold sweat for her.

"It looks like things are really going for the worst"

Ryder continued to smile wryly at the bold actions of his juniors, he had prepared for the worst.

"I really don't know if to praise them or blame them"

The Hemdilumon still had a headache.

[This is your last chance to 'prove', are you sure you refuse?] Humans. ]

Igudo Rahir made a final reminder.

"We're not going to say yes!!"

With a heart in his heart, Kaye and Yabei refused at the same time.

[Unfortunately, you have lost your value.] ]

"Igudorahi, what to do with them?"

Seeing that Kaye and Yabei had rejected the last chance offered to them by Igudorahi, the Omegamon asked the 'gods'.

[They are of no use to the Digital World, finish them off.] ]

Igudo Lahir once again gave a ruthless order, and following the orders of the 'gods', the royal knights slowly stepped forward and took out their weapons.

"Whew, we're really dead now!!"

Yabei covered his head with both hands, feeling hopeless.

"Hedilummon, can it still evolve?"

Pulling out the card, Ryder gave a serious expression.

"I can do it."

Nodding, the Hedilumon knew what he was going to do. Using Ryder's cards to support himself, coupled with chanting the spell as fast as he could, should be able to teleport everyone to safety before the royal knights attack.

The attack was imminent, and the Hedilummon was just about to evolve again.

The air was filled with tension. At this moment, it was suddenly pierced by the roar of the dragon.

“――！？”

The royal knights stopped their movements and looked at the sky at the same time, and the source of the sound was clear at a glance.

I saw a huge dragon-like energy shockwave cut a straight line through the sky, heading straight for this side. The Wyvern opened its mouth and let out a roar that must have been its utterance.

The dragon-type energy shockwave deliberately avoided Kaye and the others as if it had a consciousness of its own, and instantly slammed into all the royal knights, devouring them.

In the face of such an unexpected situation, everyone was also stunned and opened their mouths in surprise.

At this moment, a huge figure suddenly descended from the sky and picked up Kaye, Ryder, Yabei, and the Multi-Way Beast from the ground, and then flew into the sky without hesitation.

"Damn!!"

Radiating the energy of the 'Wyvern' that devoured the royal knights with his power, the omegamon showed an annoyed expression. In an instant, the companion who had helped the humans escape flew to the highest point in the sky.

Raising the Garuru's beast-shaped cannon, the muzzle of the cannon gathered a shockwave filled with cold air, and it exploded and fired rapidly at the companion without hesitation. A blue beam of light swept across the sky and hit its body.

An explosion sounded, and by the time the smoke cleared, its figure had long since disappeared.

"Killed?"

Looking at the vanished companion, the Red Lotus Knight Beast asked.

"No, with this level of injury, he won't die easily."

The Shenghui V dragon beast on the side said.

"Then go after it."

Since the 'betrayer' is not dead, the Red Lotus Knight Beast intends to pursue him.

[There is no need for that.] ]

At this time, Igudo Rahi spoke.

"But is that really good?"

The Red Lotus Knight Beast was a little embarrassed.

[Anyway, they can't escape the fate they were destined for.] ]

Igudo Rahi didn't care about the 'betrayal' of his knights.

[They don't have a choice.] ]
