Chapter 173: Miracles and Rebirth

[I knew you would come.] ]

In the deepest part of the World Tree's roots, in the alien dimension, the figure of a black paladin appeared in front of Igudo Rahir.

[Say your wishes, Alphamon.] ]

Igudo Rahir's voice was calm, but it felt reassuring.

"Haha, I think you know what I'm here for, Igudo Rahir."

Seeing through the inner thoughts of the 'god', the alpha beast smiled slightly awkwardly.

[Thou art my 'creation' and my other 'doppelganger'; thou art always seen and felt the world in my place.] I can feel your wishes and hopes. ]

That's right, Alphamon is a Digimon created by Igudo Rahir, and it also represents a kind of 'clone'. His mission is not only to terminate the 'Ark Project' and Kaye and defeat the 'Lord of Calamity', but to see and feel the world in place of Igudo Lahir and with his own heart instead of 'God'. So, the precious memories with Kaye and his friends, as well as the mood, Igudo Lahir knows.

"That's right, so, I hope you can make my wish come true. Igudo Lahir, as a god, you actually see the sad future of the 'chosen ones'. ”

I hope that everyone's efforts will not be in vain, I hope that important friends will continue to be by my side, and I hope that everyone's future can usher in a happy ending, and no one will cry anymore, and no one will be sad and sad. So, Alphamon spoke his wish.

"With your abilities, you will be able to 'resurrect' the dead through 'searching', 'reorganizing', and 'restoring'."

[Your wishes, I may grant them.] However, 'death' is the final destination of any life, and I will not easily interfere with the laws of nature. 'Rebirth' is only a very short process, and one day you will once again witness the end of humanity. ]

Miracles don't come easily. The laws of nature cannot be easily violated by any being; Igudo Rahir motioned for the Alphamon to give a reasonable answer.

[Alpha Beast, the 'death' of the Chosen One is a definite fate, and they have fulfilled their duty; but it does not affect your predestined outcome, and you should continue to obey your duty.] Even so, do you want to give up your duties for a while and persist in fulfilling your fleeting wishes? ]

There was no objection or agreement, Igudo Arahir simply confirmed the wish of the Black Paladin.

"No, Igudo Arahir, I never thought of abandoning my duty."

Shaking his head slightly, the Alpha Beast denied.

"Maybe it's because of my human friends that I've become more 'greedy'. I will not give up on my responsibilities and hope to spend the last happy moments with my important friends. After all, human time is really short, and I want to cherish this 'happiness' even more. It is enough to accompany them until the natural departure"

"Igudo Rahir, you created me to observe and feel the vastness of the world, and the so-called world is not only the digital world, but also the human world. I believe in the possibility of the future of the digital world and the human world, and if possible, there will be a result of 'coexistence' in the near future. It is also my duty to believe in the possibilities that should be possible and to observe them. ”

It is precisely because of the possibility between humans and Digimon that Alphamon chooses to trust humans and satisfy their own petty 'selfish desires'.

"Trust my choice, Igudo Rahir."

[Well, I grant your request.] ]

After a brief moment of silence, Igudo Arahir finally agreed to the Alphamon's request.

※※※※※

The 'chosen ones' finally came to a tragic end.

Observing the 'inside' of the digital world, and seeing the tragic condition of the children of humanity, Igudo Rahir pulled back consciousness from the observation.

[Alphamon, your wish will be granted.] ]

Then, a pale white light spilled out of Igudo Lahir's body.

At this moment, countless points of light appeared, spreading infinitely on the far side.

These points of light are all doppelgangers of 'Igudo Lahir'.

That's the dimensional crack in the green realm space--

The fragments of 'Missing' wandered in the chaos, and the points of light representing the doppelgangers of the 'gods' flew next to the fragments and recovered the fragments.

Another abyss in another distant region --

The point of light flew next to the fragments of 'Missing' that kept falling in the abyss, and the fragments were recovered.

There is also a pink teleportation pillar that sweeps towards the land.

Inside the pink pillar of light, the doppelganger's point of light appears and flies next to the fragment to retrieve it.

The countless fragments of 'Thoughts' scattered everywhere, Igudo Rahir recovered all the fragments of 'Thoughts' of the Children of Mankind.

It was only a brief time, and the memories of the sons of men, the thoughts of the sons of men, converged into a torrent and poured into the body of Igudo Lahir.

their pain, their sorrow, their scars; And all this suffering, filth, and happiness and hope, Igudo Lahir felt it all, and life itself -- made it worthy of respect.

[I feel that you have been trying.] ]

Igudo Lahir recognizes and respects the Son of Man.

Alpha Beast, your wish, I will fulfill it.

Collecting all the fragments of the 'memories' of the four of them, Igudo Rahir constructed and reconstructed the 'spiritual materials', and restored them to their original bodies that had been transformed into fragments. This is the supposed 'resurrection'.

※※※※※

Kaye Kaye felt as if he was in the middle of the rushing sea, up and down.

He thought he might be flowing forever, but the waves suddenly subsided, and the empty white space and distant silence enveloped Kaye.

[O son of men]

An incredible voice rang in my ears. It was a female voice with a calm tone, not only full of majesty, but also extremely reassuring.

Slowly opening his eyes, Kaye turned his head in the direction of the sound, and the figure of Igudo Rahir appeared in front of his eyes.

"It's Igudo Rahir"

Seeing the honor of the 'god', Kaye had a surprised expression. What's wrong with you? What just happened? Where are you?

[Return to the present realm, son of men, and it is not yet too early for you to die.] ]

As if seeing through Kaye's inner turmoil, Igudo Rahir replied.

"Huh? We just died? ”

I can't think of the fact that I'm dead at all.,Obviously I don't feel anything.。

[Go back, your companions are waiting for your return.] ]

"Wait, wait! What the hell just happened?! How's everybody doing?! ”

There were so many questions that Kaye didn't have time to finish them all at once, when a dazzling white light was released from Igudo Lahir's body.

-- Kaye, I'm sure you'll be back. ―――

Consciousness was swallowed up in the light, and Kaye heard the call of the Alphamon.

With these words, Kaye's consciousness spread.

The departed have been reborn.

―1―

"We won't lose, Auguston! With your mere obsession, do you think you can overcome all of our obsessions!? ”

It was the cry of the Alphamon. The enemy's obsession is equal to the existence of delusion and resentment, and excessive obsession will only be judged as 'evil thoughts' and should be expelled.

So, everyone has to win! You will definitely live up to everyone's last hope, and you must witness the miracle with your own eyes!

Holding the dragon sword high, the alphamon rushed forward first.

"Drink-!!"

Leaping, the Alphamon swung its sword with all its might, slashing at the head of the Agodumon.

Closing his eyes, the Alphamon slashed its head in pain as the Agoudumon shook its head in pain.

"I will never forgive you for that idiot partner for your easy death of Ogudumon!!"

The resentful Fallen Hellbeast raised its electron cannon and fired wildly at the Augustus, venting the anger in its heart.

"I must kill you, I will completely erase your existence!!"

Strong emotions, only for the deplorable who killed Ryder. The sharp murderous aura was like a sharp blade piercing through the entire body of the Agudumon.

[PhantomPain!] (Phantom Pain)

Gathering the power of the black curse on Nazar's Claws, chanting a spell to strengthen itself, four identical clones suddenly appeared next to Lilithmon, and the clones drifted like shadows at the same time.

The speed of the five black shadows was as fast as a flash, and their raised right claws turned into a wave of impenetrable attacks towards the Ogudu Beast with a speed faster than before.

The golden nails that corroded everything fell straight onto the eyes of the Agudumon. One of the eyeballs was corroded, and the Ogudu writhed in pain, but the eyeball in the center of its lower body glowed blindly.

Suddenly, all around them were shrouded in a blinding white light, making the Alphamon and Lilithmon, who were closest to Ogudumon, unable to open their eyes at all.

It was a light full of destructive energy, and the power of the attack far exceeded that of the previous blast of destruction. Hit by the bright light, both Alphamon and Lilithmon were knocked to the ground.

"Lilithmon, are you alright?!"

The Alphamon that defended in time was not seriously damaged, but the Lilithmon, which was closest to the eyeball, was not so lucky, not only was all the clones destroyed, but its body was also scarred; The Alphamon worried.

"Abominable carelessness"

The intense desire to avenge her partner made Lilithmon not as calm as before, and Lilithmon barely supported her body, a pained expression on her face.

"The card is replaced, and the sub-chip is added; Card Swap, Demon Chip; Swap cards and conquer chips; Card swapping, angel chips; Card swapping, healthy grass fruit, super recovery; Card swapping, energy transfer, and half of the recovery power transferred to Lilithmon. ”

After swiping multiple cards in one go, Mina uses the abilities of D-ark and the cards to transfer her resilience to Lilithmon. A gentle glimmer appeared on Lilithmon, and then, all the wounds on her body had healed and returned to their original form.

"It's coming in handy, Mina, for the sake of Ryder, you'll continue to help us with your modest efforts."

Thanks to Mina's timely use of the card, Lilithmon regained its strength. Then, she looked at the Alphamon.

"Alphamon, can you fight again?"

"Of course, I'm a royal knight!"

The Alphamon replied in a high-pitched voice, then rushed towards the Agoudum again.

"Bastard! Don't ignore Uncle Ben, hey! Watch out for its claws!! ”

In the distance, the warning sound of the Fallen Hellbeast was suddenly heard, and the claws of the Ogudumon were about to grab the Alphamon and Lilithmon. Once trampled by the claws, it will degenerate again!

"I'll hold it back for the time being, you take advantage of it."

The cold voice came, it was Bram Vampire Beast. Using the ability of 'Acceleration', Bram's vampire monster instantly appeared on the back of Augustumon.

Concentrate your attention, and the invisible force will reappear.

[―――？！ ]

Suddenly unable to move, as if some invisible force was restraining him, Augustumon fell into a brief moment of confusion.

It's just a short moment, enough to give the other three the best time to attack.

"Thanks, Bram Vampire Beast!"

Thanks to the 'silent Night Lord', the Alpha Beast that escaped the catastrophe met again.

※※※※※

For Mina, perhaps the never-ending battle will continue.

As the only one alive, she is watching this final battle. It was obviously an extremely fierce battle, but she just stood quietly in place, refusing to escape. Of course, there is a reason why it is difficult for a weak human to escape alive, but even then, even if you risk being killed by the enemy, your instinct and dignity will not allow you to choose to flee.

-- For the sake of my dead friends, I must carry their hopes and see the most important battle to the end. ―――

Know what you're thinking, that's what Mina told herself.

"I will"

"No, it's 'we' who are witnessing the final battle together."

It was a flirtatious but very familiar voice.

"Ahh

Subconsciously turned her head, and the girl who was left behind saw a miracle.

―2―

As they watched the Alphamon fight the Agodumon inside an enchantment orb, Kaye felt dazed.

He couldn't believe he was still standing here. Lowering your eyes and looking at your body, your hands and feet are there, and you can move naturally, everything is true.

I remember that at that time, I and everyone were swallowed up by a strong and terrifying flash of energy. And in that flash, the flesh was destroyed, and the consciousness should have vanished, and he did feel that he had disappeared.

But now, I really exist, and I am standing here.

- Go back, your companions are waiting for your return. ――

-- Kaye, I'm sure you'll be back. ―――

That's right, I remembered! It was Igudo Rahir who brought us back to life! Miracles exist!!

Looking at everyone's Digimon partners, Kaye smiled with renewed hope.

"Kaye, what are you smirking at?"

Looking at Kaye with a smile on his face, Yabei Ma's face said after recovering from a short period of dazedness. I don't know what happened just now, but I don't think there will be any problems now.

"You still don't want to know the truth."

Knowing very well what had just happened, Jeongho, who had experienced the taste of death, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced himself to calm down. Thankfully, his idiot sister doesn't seem to notice it yet, so it's better not to let her know that she has died once. However, is he really resurrected? Or was it just a dream?

"It was Igudo Rahir who resurrected us, and miracles exist!"

Kaye, who had a brief communication with Igudo Lahir personally, was a little emotional because he 'came back from the dead'. It's great that everybody is okay.

"So, I'm confident that the Alphamon will be able to successfully defeat the Oguduni!"

"Coming back from the dead?"

Not a little emotional like Kaye, Yabei just looked up at Ogudumon fighting his Digimon partners, and his thoughts were numb.

"Daddy, he tried his best to suppress the Ogudumon to create a flaw for us, but we were deceived by the Ogudumon and killed."

"What if you are resurrected? We're going to kill it again, daddy really can't be saved this time, and Igudo Lahir will never resurrect the culprit. ”

Yabei is not stupid, she is certainly aware of what is going on, she just doesn't want to escape reality anymore.

"Then accept the reality completely, we have been prepared for it for a long time. Daddy, he must have hoped so, right? Anyway, it was just another repeat, so I'd just leave it to the Digimon. ”

Perhaps 'before death' was somewhat influenced by Ryder's words, and Jeongho saw the reality completely. I'm still too naïve, and it's really unpleasant to be deceived by that kind of bastard

"I'm sorry I didn't take into account your feelings"

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Kaye hurriedly apologized to Yabei and Masaho. The death of the Agudumon means the death of his uncle, and Yabei is right, the reason why Igudo Lahir will resurrect everyone must be because of the request of the Alpha Beast, but the 'God' will never resurrect the culprit.

"For the sake of Yabei's lack of influence, I won't beat you."

Zhenghao still cares more about his sister's mood than himself, but she doesn't seem to be lost, so Zhenghao 'forgives' Kaye.

"Whew, I'm really sorry"

In the apology again, Jung-ho's expression was terrible.

"It doesn't matter anymore, I'm not that vulnerable."

Reinvigorated the spirits, Yabei reluctantly cheered up. When everyone dies, D-ark also disappears, and even if it is resurrected, D-ark will not reappear, which is probably the 'contract dissolution' that the Infinite Dragon Beast once said. Therefore, Yabei, who can't use the card to assist his partner, puts his worries behind and plans to support the Fallen Hell Beast.

"Come on!! Fallen Hell Beast -- !! ”

※※※※※

In the face of a friend who has 'come back from the dead', how should the expression on his face be described?

Should it be surprised? Dazed? Weep? Or joy?

“”

Mina didn't show any expression, not even her eyes showed any emotion, she just looked at Ryder with a smile on his face.

"Don't be expressionless, 'Miss', I apologize completely for deceiving you."

The atmosphere was too embarrassing, and Ryder, who was a little embarrassed, still apologized to the expressionless Mina as usual, and would rather bear her 'anger' than the other party did not show anything, even if it was slapped in the face.

“”

Still looking at him without any emotion. It seems that the harm he did to her was really too much, it was close to 'despair'

"I'm so sorry, I admit to being a selfish person. I just want you to live, that's why"

Putting away his smile, Ryder said apologetic words again very sincerely, but his words were interrupted.

"This should be my responsibility, and I will not blame or anger anyone"

Very cold words.

"If I had detected it earlier, I would have tried my best to delay the final battle."

"It's really cunning, taking advantage of my trust in you, but being deceived by your 'kindness' and witnessing the people around me turn into disgusting blood clots, even I who want to protect people to disappear in my arms and live alone is too 'sinful' to make up for my mistakes for her"

As if to hide her helpless pain, Mina turned her gaze to Yabei, who was cheering for her partner, and did not look at Ryder.

"Don't define your own 'sins' without permission, Mina, you don't need to be strong."

Denying Mina's 'sins', Ryder walked up to her, grabbed her shoulder with a serious expression and said.

Mina's strength as an overly independent one will only bring her closer to 'breakdown', and Ryder doesn't want her to continue to carry everything.

"I am the one who deceives everyone, and I am the one who has the 'sins'! I don't want you to die, I want you to live strongly, that's all. ”

"Of course what you're going to become, I've thought about it all. Even so, selfishly, I still hope to fulfill my last wish. Mina, don't suffer the 'sins' of nothingness. There's nothing wrong with you, and no one will blame you. If you continue to be strong, it will only backfire and make the people around you sad. ”

"It's okay, I've seen miracles with my own eyes, and I haven't given up 'hope' yet. No, from the very beginning, I believed in 'miracles', even if everyone is gone, I will be strong to face everything and make myself more mature."

Gently pushing Ryder away, Mina smiled weakly.

"That's enough, so you don't need to comfort me anymore, I accept your apology. Ryder, you should care more about your partner as a 'family' now, and don't let her down. ”

After speaking, Mina turned around and walked towards Yabei without looking back.

Looking at her distant back, Ryder didn't catch up, just sighed helplessly.
