Chapter Ninety-One: City of Angels, Invasion!
Chapter Ninety-One: City of Angels, Invasion!
The library is in the innermost part of the corridor of the Crystal Palace, which is very long and wide.
"It's here~!"
At Badamon's signal, the Holy Angelmon opened the door to the library and entered with Badamon.
High ceilings, a calm atmosphere, and a slight smell of books.
Next to the bookshelf, cherubimon was seen sitting on a chair reading quietly.
"Cherubimon, the Holy Angelmon needs your help!"
Badamon shouted loudly to Cherubimon.
"Holy Angel Beast? Isn't it?"
Cherubimon stood up from his chair and looked at the Holy Angelmon with some surprise, then quickly smiled gently.
"Welcome back, Holy Angelmon."
"Thank you"
Judging by Cherubimon's kind tone, it must have been his friend from the past, right?
"Hey, cherubimon, holy angelmon, he's scattered with his human companions, can you help him find his companions?"
Badamon preemptively asked for the Holy Angelmon.
"You mean Ryder, right? Thanks to the efforts of the sons of men, the city of angels has added laughter. ”
The gentle smile on cherubimon's face remained the same.
"Your companions are safe now, so there's no need to worry."
"Where are they now?"
It feels like the words of cherubimon are a little strange, is it a delusion?
"It is the origin of life in the digital world -- Document Island."
Cherubimon replied.
"Document Island?"
It's a safe place, but it's also a tragic place where your partner loses her companion.
"Yes, I understand you're worried about your companions. But your body hasn't fully recovered, can you wait until the next day to go? ”
Cherubimon sighed softly.
"You've forgotten the past since you've been born again, but your friends have always wanted to see you. It wouldn't be fair to them if they left your friends behind for selfishness. ”
"At least we should spend a day together and then say goodbye."
"Uh-well"
Friends should be referring to the Celestial Maiden Beast and the Slashing Angel Beast, what happened in the infirmary just now speaks for itself.
Ryder, if they're okay, it should be okay to go to Document Island and meet them the next day, right? No, Cherubimon must only know Ryder, Kaye, and Abe! The rest of the people who went to the human world together were not only Mina, but also Julia and Mr. Lee!
"Lord Cherubimon, who are the humans on Document Island besides Ryder and the others?"
"For example, a red-haired human girl."
You still have to check it again.
"A red-haired human girl? Indeed, she is included. ”
The cherubimon replied, and the Holy Angelmon looked relieved when he heard that the girl and Ryder were also on Document Island.
"So, is there another blonde woman and a brunette man? It's two adults. ”
"Sorry, I don't know."
It seems that apart from Mina and Ryder, Julia and Mr. Lee seem to have lost their whereabouts. However, with their abilities, there shouldn't be any big problems, after all, they are all core personnel of DHT.
"Don't worry, your companions will be fine."
Seeing that the Holy Angelmon seemed to have something on his mind, Badamon comforted him.
"Thank you"
In a wry smile --
"Holy Angel Beast, do you want to know about your past?"
Putting the book back on the shelf, the Divine Angel Beast asked calmly.
"No, my current life is worth cherishing."
The answer was crisp.
"If you always care about the past, you can't look forward to the future."
"Haha, it's easier for you to live in the human world than in the City of Angels."
Cherubimon laughed.
"Maintaining a balanced relationship between the human world and the digital world, and protecting your partner's precious daughter, is not an easy task."
Recalling his ten years in the human world, the Divine Angel Beast smiled with happiness.
"It is a blessing to protect your important family."
"Important Family"
Badamon said as if he understood. At this moment, a blue-gray haired girl flashed in its mind, and the girl had a sunny smile.
"Sakura"
"What's wrong? Badamon. ”
Noticing the Badamon, the Holy Angelmon and the Cherubimon who were a little dazed, were concerned.
"I seem to have forgotten something important"
Yes, something must have been forgotten. Why can't you remember?
"Really?"
Gently touching Badamon's head, Cherubimon chuckled.
"Even if you are reborn and your memory is lost, the important bonds will never disappear."
Is this for Badamon or for the Holy Angelmon? There is no way to know. But its words are indeed very reasonable.

Outside the barrier of the City of Angels, the originally clear sky became dark. Dark clouds also began to gather, obscuring the blue sky.
At this time, water droplets dripped on the barrier.
The patrolling Slashing Angel Beast looked up at the dim sky, and it seemed to be raining.
"It's weird, why is it raining?"
It's really strange that the city of angels, which has always had a sunny day, will have a rainy season.
Little by little, the raindrops hit the barrier, and then it fell bigger and bigger.
A gauzy rain enveloped the entire City of Angels. The barrier was wet by the rain, and the scene outside became blurred.
"That's!?"
Outside the barrier, Slash Angelmon notices a purple mechanical humanoid Digimon flying rapidly from the top of the barrier.
Not one, but hundreds! Ignoring the heavy rain, they flew to the top of the barrier and gathered together as if they had been summoned. The Digimon are connected and come together to form an object shaped like a slender pillar, with a sharp tip that looks like it's about to stab into the ground. As they converge, the sharp pillar objects gradually become larger and more medium.
A pale blue glow began to emerge from the stigma and flowed towards the spire.
Looking at the sharp pillar object aimed at the enchantment, the inhabitants of the City of Angels all showed uneasy expressions.
"Angelmon, immediately report the mutation to the Divine Maiden and the Keyrubimon!"
Out of his duty, Slash Angelmon immediately ordered Angelmon to pass on the information. The abnormality on the outside is definitely not a good thing! He could feel the powerful energy of the 'pillar' and intended to attack the City of Angels.
"Gargoyle beast, arrange for the residents to take refuge in the Crystal Palace!"
"Yes!"
The subordinates obeyed the orders of the commander and immediately carried out the mission.
"Hum-!!"
The shrill sound like tinnitus gradually became louder. The sound came from the spikes.
The noise made the slashing angelmon have to smash its ears.
Then, as if the front of the spire were lined up in half, a flash of light suddenly shot towards the enchantment of the City of Angels.
"Enchantment Quilt!!"
All Digimon in the City of Angels noticed that the entire City of Angels was surrounded by light for a moment. The sapphire-like transparent barrier shattered like a mirror, and countless fragments fell from the sky one after another, dissipating into data.
And the torrential rain soon stopped.
When they saw the guardian barrier above their heads turn into pieces and disappear, the entire inhabitants of the City of Angels were terrified.
However, fortunately, the Slash Angel Beast ordered its subordinates to arrange for the residents to take refuge in the Crystal Palace in advance, reducing the chaos to a minimum.
Of course, the destruction of the barrier does not mean the end, but the beginning of the disaster.
※※※※※
A seven-colored radiant laser was swung out of a Western sword sword, and under the laser, the object it touched was immediately dissolved.
"Shouya, Owen. It's up to you to destroy the Digimon, I don't want to kill them. Therefore, the task of destroying the homeland is still entrusted to me. ”
In the middle of the air in the residential area, a female Digimon wearing a bird mask, white armor, and holding a Western sword said to her companion.
"I see. Cut, why is the evolution of the ultimate body so ugly! ”
As soon as the female Digimon finished speaking, three pairs of demon wings spread out behind a black-brown body with a sheep's head and a hideous face. The giant claw wrapped in chains was pulling a lion-like Digimon in red armor with a burning body and a body of fire to land on the ground of the City of Angels.
"It's so hot"
After dropping off his companion at the mission location, Digimon flicked its paws and complained.
"Daze is really going to give us a troublesome mission, if we continue, we are not human anymore!"
"The little white face who owes debts is not qualified to say that he is an employer, I don't care."
The female Digimon spat at it.
"Okay, hurry up and carry out the mission to buy time for that guy Zhenghao."
"You think that's because your evolved appearance isn't ugly."
The hideous face of the black-brown Digimon showed a very depressed expression, the so-called contrast cute, right?
"Sa, Owen, the Digimon should all take refuge in that place called the Crystal Palace. But there are three Ultimate Digimon and well-trained soldiers. Let's pick the weak Digimon first to familiarize ourselves with the new powers. ”
Grinding its claws, the black-brown Digimon said to the Blazing Lion Digimon with flames burning all over its body.
"Because our attack has caused chaos, those two Ultimate Bodies will definitely come here to deal with us. So be sure to be vigilant. ”
"Understood."
After a brief yes, the Flame Bear Lion and it began to attack the perimeter of the City of Angels.

City of Angels, at dusk, Crystal Palace - between the meetings
"Lord Divine Celestial Maiden! Lord Cherubimon! After the destruction of the Guardian Enchantment, the Southern and Western Districts, as well as the Statue Memorial Zone, were attacked by Ultimate Digimon, and the Digimon that attacked the southern city had a powerful dark power! ”
In the middle of the meeting, an angel beast explained the situation in the city to the two rulers with a panicked expression.
"Lord Slashing Angel Beast has arranged for the people to take refuge in the Crystal Palace in advance, and now he is heading to the statue memorial area to fight the invaders."
"It must have been that human subordinate who dared to attack the Sacred Land"
Clenched their fists, cherubimon could not forgive them for their actions. The foreseeable future does not include the City of Angels being attacked by humans.
"The Digimon that attacked the City of Angels are the ultimate form, and what is their purpose? Couldn't be! ”
Realizing something, the Divine Maiden looked at the cherubimon with a disturbed expression.
"Cherubimon, the enemy's purpose must be to obtain the Key of the Seal."
"Sure enough, Angelmon, besides those three Ultimate Digimon, are there any other enemies?"
Cherubimon asked Angelmon.
"No, no other enemies have been found."
"The Ultimate Digimon can only be fought by the power of the Ultimate Body, and the City of Angels is very short of troops, so the people who have taken refuge need to be protected."
After a moment's thought, cherubimon decided.
"Divine Celestial Maiden, come and guard the Crystal Palace. I will lead a part of the elite troops against the enemy. ”
"Cherubimon, it's too reluctant for mature soldiers to fight the Ultimate Body. One of the enemies is also a powerful dark force, and I am also the ruler of the City of Angels. As one of the three angels, how can you tolerate the power of darkness to run rampant in this sacred place, I will fight with you. ”
The expression of the Divine Celestial Maiden was very firm.
"Your strength hasn't fully recovered yet, is this really good?"
Cherubimon didn't want the Holy Maidenmon to take part in the battle.
"All along, because of my selfish desires, my people have been burdened with too much sorrow. Now that the people's homeland is being violated, how can I watch the enemy come and destroy the City of Angels. I will also personally protect this sacred place. ”
Understanding her friend's concern, the Divine Maiden Beast smiled lightly.
"I see, but don't push yourself too hard."
Nodding, cherubimon gave the order to the angelmon.
"Dispatch the 'Divine Formation' to guard the Crystal Palace, and never let the enemy get close! Inform the Holy Angelmon and let it keep Badamon safe. ”
"Yes!"
After obeying the will, the angel beast immediately left the audience.
"Let's act too, hoping that the enemy will not discover the secret of the Sealed Key"
The Divine Celestial Beast let out a long sigh, a spear and shield appeared in her hand, and slowly walked out of the main hall with the cherubimon.
※※※※※
"Everyone, please keep order! Don't panic! ”
Outside the Crystal Palace, in addition to the Gargoyles and Angelmons, Badamon also helped guide the residents into the Crystal Palace for refuge.
"Let's let the Growth Stage Digimon in first, and everyone will keep order!"
As the City of Angels is being attacked by three Digimon, the residents have to leave the city and follow Angelmon's instructions to take refuge in the Crystal Palace.
"Lord Badamon, go and take refuge in the interview, and I'll be tasked with guiding the residents."
The Divine Angelmon, who had been entrusted by the cherubimon to protect Badamon, came over and cared.
"Not yet."
Shaking its head, Badamon rejected the Divine Angelmon's kindness.
"The Holy Maidenmon and the Cherubimon, as well as the Slashing Angelmon, are fighting their enemies to protect their homeland. I am also one of the 'Three Angels', and although I do not have the strength to do so, I must not use this as an excuse to leave my people to take refuge alone. ”
"That's right."
Seeing Badamon's determination, the Divine Angelmon smiled gently.
"Alright then, you must stay by my side and don't leave, I will protect you."
"Holy Angel Beast, you agreed to my request?"
Badamon looked at the Holy Angelmon with some surprise, and if it were to be replaced by another Digimon, it would definitely continue to persuade him to leave.
"Because I understand Lord Badamon's feelings, if you are only forbidden to give sincerely because you are afraid that you will be hurt, then it will hurt you."
He lovingly stroked the head of the Bada Beast, and there was a hint of seriousness in his gentle expression.
"After the residents have evacuated, they must hide between the interviews. I promised Cherubimon to keep you safe. ”
"Yes, I understand."
Nodding, Badamon agreed.
※※※※※
(Where is the key to the seal?) )
In the Crystal Palace, Zhenghao wore a white cloak, covering his mouth and nose, and carefully wandered through the corridors disguised as a refugee.
Because this is an emergency, the Crystal Palace is open to any 'person' as a place of refuge. In addition, there are so many Digimon that have come to evacuate to evacuate that no one will suspect that a strange humanoid Digimon is also involved.
What's more, I came here once a month ago. Therefore, he is quite familiar with the internal structure of Crystal Palace.
(I didn't expect to come over again again, and it was really troublesome for my dad to give me a task.) )
While complaining in his heart, Masaho pretends to be a 'good citizen' and passes by the Digimon passing by.
Between the seals on the ground floor, the room of the Divine Maiden Beast, and the crystal house where the Ultimate Angelmon Digi Egg had been sealed, Masahiro also visited again, but still did not find the whereabouts of the Seal Key.
(What are you kidding me to use my instincts to find the Key to the Seal?!) My instincts couldn't have worked perfectly. )
Sighing helplessly, Jeongho entered one of the rooms and searched, but there were still no clues.
He peeked out the window through the side of the curtain. In front of the gate of the Crystal Palace, you can see the Digimon lining up in a neat line to enter the palace and take refuge at the prompting of Angelmon.
"By the way, let's thoroughly search all the guest rooms first, and if you can't find it again, find out if you know and torture it clearly."
Daddy said that there would be no clues when torturing the person in charge, and if it was someone in the know, he should have gotten the information. Jeongho thought.
Then, as he approached the door, making sure there were no patrols outside, he quickly rushed down the hallway.
The interior of the Crystal Palace is almost the size of a town, and even with a floor plan, it's easy to get lost. However, Zhenghao is not worried that he will get lost, anyway, the internal structure is still impressive.
“!!!”
Hearing the voice, Zhenghao hurriedly hid in the guest room closest to him, quietly opened a crack in the door, and stole the situation outside. I saw a Divine Angel Beast and a Bada Beast wearing a holy ring just passing by.
(It's that guy!) )
Zhenghao recognized the Divine Angel Beast at a glance, remembering that when he was in the space tunnel, this guy used strange tricks to harm everyone and suffered a lot.
(Why is he here?) )
Despite his resentment, Jeongho could only keep quiet, and the two Digimon seemed to be chatting about something.
"Lord Badamon, the last group of evacuees have been contained. I'll escort you between the hearings, it's safer there. ”
The Holy Angelmon smiled and said to Badamon.
It's strange to call a growing Digimon an adult. Jeongho thought.
"Thank you, Holy Angelmon."
Badamon thanked the 'guards' beside him, but a dark cloud swept over his face and whispered.
"Will everyone really be okay? The enemies who invaded the City of Angels seem to be very strong."
"I'm worried about the Divine Maiden and the Cherubimon and the Slashing Angelmon"
"Lord Badamon, perhaps I can't fully assure you that they are safe. But at the very least, we should still choose to trust them. ”
Understanding Badamon's concerns, the Divine Angel Beast spoke earnestly.
"Alright, let's hurry up and meet each other."
"Yes."
After the two had completely left, Jeongho walked out of the guest room.
"Lord Badamon? That Digimon might be someone in the know. ”
Zhenghao thought of something and smiled slyly. My instinct told me that the Badamon must know about the Key to the Seal.
The target has been confirmed, and Miyasha and the others must still be in the way of the three Ultimate Digimon. For now, it's better to follow them first and wait for the right moment before acting.
