Chapter Ninety-Eight: The All-Knowing Sage Beast; The real enemy

While Mina and the Vampire Demon Beast were talking to the Sage**, Kaye and the others also flew to the top of Infinity Mountain in a multi-way tyrannosaur beast, including the Divine Angel Beast that followed them.

"I saw Mina leave in the direction of Infinity Mountain, she must be at the top of the mountain."

On the dragon's back, Yabei pointed to the top of Infinity Mountain and sneezed.

In fact, not long after Mina left, Yabei also secretly kept a distance to follow her. Then I saw that outside the Founding Village, the vampire beast flew towards the top of Infinity Mountain with Mina. Fearful of her companions, and her instincts told her what was going to happen there, Yabei woke everyone up separately. Not including the Holy Angelmon, of course, but he didn't expect him to wake up in the middle of the night and hear the news of Mina's departure. So they forced everyone to bring themselves

Even if you are injured, you should recuperate with peace of mind, and you don't need to worry about what the vampire monster will do to Mina. With this in mind, Yabei secretly glanced at the Divine Angel Beast with a worried face.

Soon, the multi-road tyrannosaur beast landed on the top of the mountain, and everyone jumped off it.

"Thank you, Dowaymon."

Kaye thanked his partner who had degraded back to his original form.

"I'm glad I can help everyone."

The multi-way beast was completely unimpressed.

"Hehe, we must have found something interesting when we came to this kind of place alone with vampire monsters."

Looking at the old temple in front of him, a smile appeared on Ryder's face.

"It really makes me a little jealous."

"Ryder, there's a strange ripple emanating from the temple."

Walking to the temple gate, the Hedilumon looked up and said to Ryder.

"Is there something going on inside?"

Kaye looked worried.

"It can't be a vampire trick, right? Hope Mina is safe. ”

While worrying about Mina, the Divine Angelmon still has a lot of distrust in the Vampire Beast.

"You're really a wooden head, what good can this kind of thing do to a vampire beast like hurting a partner?"

For the rigidity of the Divine Angel Beast, the Black Dillumon said with white eyes.

"I hate him as much as you do, but that guy can be trusted, at least more than you."

The nasty vampire monster and the rigid companion Divine Angelmon, the Lediromon naturally chooses to refute the latter.

"It's the Divine Angel Beast that cares about Mina too much, leaving her without her own private space."

Yabei also joined the complaint.

"Hahaha, yes. It's hated to interfere too much in a girl's life. ”

Ryder deliberately made up the knife.

"Ugh"

The Holy Angel Beast was completely speechless.

"Idiot, can't boring things end sooner?"

Yawning, the little demon beast looked at everyone with an unhappy face. Being disturbed to sleep and being forced to go out with everyone is really unpleasant!

"Shall we go in?"

The Divine Angel Beast was still a little pitiful when it was complained about by a few people, and Kaye quickly changed the topic.

"Of course, that's why I asked you to come along."

Yabei looked at Kaye with some dissatisfaction.

"Ahem, anyway, let's go into the temple and find Mina first."

While the two of them and one beast stopped complaining, the Holy Angel Beast glanced at Kaye gratefully and said the key words.

"Yes, I can smell Mina, in the deepest part."

Sniffing the ground, the multi-way beast stretched out its small paws and pointed forward.

"Well, let's come along."

Kaye walked into the temple first, and everyone followed.

※※※※※

In the very spacious library, the sagemon temporarily refused to tell Mina the answer alone.

"I understand your feelings, Miss Mina. But it's not just you who want to know, it's your companions. ”

The Sagebeast shook its head regretfully, motioning for Mina to be uneasy.

"When the rest of the guests arrive, I will naturally tell you the truth that I am willing to tell."

"Guests? Did you invite Ryder to them too? ”

Mina was slightly surprised by the other party's words.

"No, I'm the only one I'm invited. As for the rest of the guests, they all inadvertently followed the guidance of fate. ”

The Sage Beast had a triumphant look on its face, and even laughed.

"Look, they're coming."

"Ah, Mina is really here."

It's the voice of Yabei.

"You can't go wrong with the sense of smell of multi-way beasts!"

And the sound of the multi-way beast, do you find yourself by its sense of smell?

Mina and the Vampire Beast turned their heads towards Kaye's side, and everyone was really here.

"Holy Angelmon, why are you here?"

The appearance of the Divine Angel Beast surprised Mina even more.

"Of course, I'm worried about the eldest lady. Knowing that you went to the top of Infinity Mountain alone with the Vampire Beast, the Divine Angel Beast was extremely anxious. Regardless of his own injuries, he wants to 'rescue' the eldest lady from his 'competitors'. It's really a singing and crying persistence. ”

Ryder deliberately used an exaggerated tone to express the mood of the Divine Angel Beast.

"Why do you use the word 'competitor'? I'm just worried about Mina. ”

Sensing Ryder's bad intentions, the Divine Angel Beast said in shame.

"That's because you feel uncomfortable just seeing the eldest lady with your partner."

"You're not qualified to talk about others, you obviously said you were a little jealous of him just now."

While playing tricks on the Divine Angel Beast, Ryder was complained about by Yabei.

"Humans and Digimon are two different concepts."

"I think everyone seems to be off topic"

Kaye didn't know what to say, and the topic was getting stranger.

"Sorry for worrying you."

If he fights with Ryder, the Holy Angelmon will continue to be implicated. Mina directly interrupted the conversation in the form of an apology.

"No, I can't sleep anyway, and it's okay to walk at night."

Yabei didn't care at all.

"That's not the reason for you to wake up Uncle Ben without authorization and force me to go out!"

The little demon beast glared at Yabei angrily.

"You're not the only one who was woken up, everyone is the same as you, there is nothing dissatisfied."

Yabei smiled dryly, ignoring the little demon beast's grievances, and quickly changed the topic to look at the sage beast.

"Speaking of which, is he a sage beast?"

Holding D-ark in his hand to decipher the other party's information, Yabei asked.

"Yes, I have been waiting for your arrival."

Nodding, the sagemon looked at the last of the guests.

"You must have a lot of questions to ask me, and I will tell you the truth that I am willing to tell. This is also an additional reward for you to pass the trial. ”

"Well, can you get us in order?"

There are more questions to be answered than expected, and not only himself, but Yabei, Ryder, and Mina all have the answers they want. So, instead of asking immediately, Kaye wanted to sort out the questions with everyone and wait for the answers.

"No problem, the time is still very loose."

The Sagemon motioned to Kaye not to be in too much of a hurry.

"Haha, Kaye thinks it all. However, everyone is very clear about the doubts in their hearts, so don't worry too much about it. ”

Ryder laughed.

"Kaye, it's up to you to ask questions first, you're more qualified to get the answers you want. No problem, Mina, right? ”

"I have no opinion."

Mina said yes briefly, and everyone thinks the same as herself.

"Kaye, don't hesitate, you can come first. I don't care anyway. ”

Even Yabei said the same.

"Okay everyone, thank you."

Under everyone's gaze, Kaye first began to ask the Sagemon questions.

-- Q&A Begins --

Kaye: Ten years ago, looking out over the mountain, who were the Digimon that attacked my father and uncle? And what is the strange existence that my uncle encountered?

Sagemon: The Digimon that attacked your father and the human was Darkdolukamon. Due to his fierce personality, he often attacks Digimon that devour innocent people. There was also a time when the human world devoured humans and was defeated by the 'Righteous Digimon', so they hid at the bottom of the mountain to recuperate. It was very annoyed that it had been woken from its slumber by humans. Similarly, Darkdolucumon is attracted to strong negative emotions, which should be considered the culprit.

"Mom is given by it"

Hearing the sage beast's answer, Yabei lowered his head gloomily.

"It's because of Daddy's negative emotions that the dragon is attracted to him, and Kaye's Dad is also harmed."

Sagemon: As for what happened to the man, I can only say that he was favored by a certain sealed 'spirit', which is why I gave him 'power' to use him for the same purpose. It's not because the 'resentful spirit' makes him change, it's that the negativity in the man's own heart is too strong, and the 'power' of the 'resentful spirit' just makes him more like a fish in water.

"I knew Daddy was the same"

Biting his lip, Yabei clenched his fists tightly. She knows her father's nature best.

"Yabei, everyone will definitely be able to change my uncle"

Kaye, who was not good at words, just spoke what he could think of.

"Change? I know Daddy's nature better than you do, he"

When Yabei was about to anger Kaye, Mina put her hand on her shoulder, shook her head, and said calmly.

"Yabei, calm down. The answer that everyone wants to know should be more important than anger. It is precisely because of the difficulties of the future that we must come up with a solution. ”

"At least, you're not alone."

"I'm not angry, I'm just in a bad mood"

Looking at Mina, Yabei still chose to give up getting angry. She was right, everyone has to face difficulties, and she is not alone.

"Alright, let's move on to the questions. The next question is not to hurt the girl's fragile heart. ”

Ryder quipped.

"I'm not that weak."

Yabei said to him with a face on his horse.

Ledhemmon: What is a 'Wraith'? Is the source of 'power' the Gate of Mortal Sin?

The second question was preempted by the Hemdilummon.

Sagemon: A powerful Digimon that is not completely dead, and as time passes, this hatred of the Digital World grows. But since the body is sealed, the only way to parasitize the spirit is to humans who have the same hatred.

Sagemon: I'm not fully aware of the latter. It's up to you to see with your own eyes.

"Hehe, don't you fully know?"

The Black Dilumon sneered secretly, this ** unknown words were obviously perfunctory. Of course, what if you know about it? The Digimon closest to the Digimon are probably just reluctant to say it on the pretext that the Ancient Ancestors want to obey the treaty.

Sagemon: Because it was the will of the ancient ancestors.

Sure enough, it's an excuse to use the will of the Digimon!

"The Temporal Concussion Bomb must have been your creation, right? Why is it able to forcibly open doors to the human and digital worlds? Ten years ago, how did you lose the item and let Osawa pick it up? ”

Then it was Ryder's turn to ask. Ryder put away the smile on his face, and his eyes sharpened.

"In fact, what can forcibly open the door is not the space-time shock bomb, but the fragments of the 'Sky Key' that are loaded into the core."

This is the key question, and the Sagemon answers its first two questions first.

"'Sky Key'? What's that? ”

The multi-way beast asked curiously.

"The 'Heavenly Key' is the weapon of the Keyangel Beast, and it is also the ** that opens the door to any world."

"You mean you can go to different parallel worlds, right?"

Yabei interjected.

"It can be understood that way."

Sagemon agreed with Yabei's thoughts, and then added the topic.

"In an even more ancient war, Keyangelmon accompanied one of the greatest Angel Digimon on a crusade against the 'Vampire King' who had brought dark influence to the Digital World for the first time, sacrificing his life to seal it. And that 'Heavenly Key' also turned into pieces and scattered all over the place. ”

When Philimon mentions a certain 'Vampire King', it catches the attention of the Vampire Beast.

The King of Vampires? One of the oldest Digimon in the legend of Dadrakumon, it possesses the power to make angels fall into the sky. I seem to know the Digimon subconsciously

"And I happened to get a couple of pieces for collection. Ten years ago, it was just a whim to create a space-time shock bomb out of broken fragments, and for some reason it was lost. However, that item is a one-time consumable product and can only be used once. Anyway, I don't have much interest in the lost experiments. ”

How did you lose the space-time shock bomb, the sagemon didn't answer.

"Sagemon, after spending a long time with the Digimon, will you be able to see the fragments of the future as well?"

Hinting at Ryder with her eyes, Mina looked at the sagemon and asked.

"That's right, in addition to the cherubimon and the sand tusk, with the help of the ancient ancestors, I also have the ability to see the future. There is actually a difference between the 'future vision', the ability of the Shagufang is 'foreknowledge of the outcome', and the ability of the cherubimon is the 'foreknowledge process'. My 'future vision' is an 'absolute future vision' that overrides 'results' and 'processes'. But my authority can only be 'observation', not too 'interference'. ”

"You can't be too 'intrusive', but you can 'execute' as the Digimon wants, right?"

The red eyes stared at the Philosopher, and a demonic smile appeared on Ryder's face.

"I will not go against the hopes of the ancient ancestors."

The demonic smile couldn't help but make the sagebeast feel a chill, and what it couldn't answer didn't say it himself. Could it be that the words of the two set a trap for themselves?

"It seems that the truth about Osawa getting the space-time concussion bomb is clear."

Ryder had a 'I know very well' expression, because the way everyone looked at the sage beast was also strange because of his words. Especially Yabei, there is a certain hostility in his eyes.

"Ten years ago, Osawa ran away due to a nervous breakdown caused by the appearance of the Dark Dolucamon. On the way to escape, he was possessed by the 'power' of the 'spirit', but he did not fully regain consciousness. Later, in order to follow the script of the future, you deliberately give him two space-time shock bombs and tell him the way to return to the human world. Then, Osawa was hinted at by you, erasing the memory of being 'helped' by the Digimon, and naturally thought that the Temporal Concussion Bomb was his own personal property. ”

"In the end, when all his companions arrived, Osawa decided that he didn't need to stay in the digital world anymore, so he activated the space-time concussion bomb to forcibly send everyone back to the human world. That's how the script goes, right? ”

"Uh, you can see it"

The accurate answer analyzed was even faster than expected, and the sage beast said embarrassedly. It seems that there is really nothing to hide.

"I did personally hand over the Space-Time Concussion Bomb to me, and I didn't intend to erase his memories in the first place. It's just that he's so bad about Digimon that he doesn't want to accept my kindness at all. So for the sake of the overall situation, I will imply him to erase his memory"

Scratching his head with his hand, the Sage Beast's tone was a little embarrassed. It's like telling people, 'It's not entirely my fault'.

"That man is a real headache."

"Yabei?"

When Kaye was about to accuse the Sagemon, Yabei suddenly rushed over, grabbed the Sagemon's chest and roared angrily.

"What do you think of Daddy!? Do you follow the props that the future points to!? Could it be that the appearance of that evil dragon was also planned by you!! ”

"Cold, calm down, the appearance of the dark Doluka Beast really has nothing to do with me."

The sage beast that doesn't understand people's hearts misunderstands Yabei's mood.

"Why don't you amnestic Daddy's hatred!! Don't give the Temporal Concussion Bomb to other companions!! If it weren't for those too much hatred, if it was the other companions who got the space-time concussion bomb"

"Five years ago, there was an invasion of the digital world, and now there will be no struggle between humans!!"

Yabei is almost hysterical.

"That can't be helped. I don't have the power to dispel the hatred of humanity, and if I interfere with the future, I will be killed by the 'spirits'."

The words that the Sage Beast said lightly with a helpless look were like the words of an older adult to a child who was willful and angry.

"My role is to 'observe', not 'interfere'. As for your family, it is completely a predestined outcome, please mourn and change. ”

"It's too much! Why do you say such a thing?! Yabei, she's already very unlucky. ”

Kaye is angry at Sagemon's words, and Sagemon is completely playing with the fate of others.

"That's right! If it changes, bad things won't happen in the future! ”

Even the multi-way beast said to Yabei.

"I don't know exactly what happened to Document Island ten years ago, but you're doing something that doesn't care about the human mood at all."

The Divine Angel Beast, who sympathized with Yabei, also opened his mouth to accuse the Wise Angel Beast.

"Hey, do you need to let Uncle Ben evolve and teach him a lesson?"

Seeing that his partner was about to go insane because of the sage beast, the little demon beast asked Yabei.

"No"

Letting go of his hand, Yabei walked back with a gloomy face.

"I've had enough of the so-called fate of my dad and brother's wrong deeds, and I will definitely succeed in stopping them"

"And that damn 'wraith' I'm going to kick him out of Daddy's body"

"Yabei"

Kaye didn't know how to comfort her.

"You're going to do it, believe in what you believe in."

Mina's voice was full of determination, and she trusted in Yabei's determination.

"No matter what happens in the future, we will always support you."

"Haha, I'm worried about everyone again."

Being cared for by Mina, the pain in Yabei's heart was relieved a lot. Mina is a real friend, she's really a gentle girl. Yabei smiled bitterly, is such a bad self really worthy of being cared for?

"Hehe, the eldest lady is still better at comforting the wounded heart."

Ryder smiled with relief, for a girl with Yabei's character, it would be more appropriate for Mina to comfort her.

"Ryder, your question isn't over yet."

While comforting Yabei, Mina looks at Ryder and reminds him to end his questioning as soon as possible.

"I seem to be hated by you, human beings are so hard to understand."

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, the sage beast said embarrassedly.

"It's because you don't understand people's hearts, and it's normal to be hated."

Glancing at Yabei, the Hedilummon complained about the Sage Beast. It didn't sympathize with Yabei, it just felt that ten years ago, if the Sage Beast hadn't followed the future, the current wouldn't have happened.

Ryder: Ten years ago, what caused the planets of the human world to appear in the skies of the digital world? Connecting the two worlds?

Sagemon: That's the result of the power of the Wraith. The Wraith was sealed in the slot between the digital world and the human world, and as time passed, the seal weakened. So, while the seal weakened, the slit space was strongly affected by his power. It is the powerful power that makes the human world manifest and become more connected to the digital world.

Sagemon: By the way, I don't seem to have fully explained the existence of the 'Wraith'.

Sagemon: 'Wraith' used to be a great Digimon, but it was his own '**' that led to his destruction. Therefore, he lost his 'righteousness' and became 'absolute evil', that is, the 'sum of evil' in the digital world. The heroes of the past were unable to destroy him, and finally sacrificed themselves to seal him in another dimension.

Sagemon: So, the seal is only temporary. Once it is completely unsealed, it descends into the world. The destruction is worse than the 'Ark Project'.

"It's the same destruction of the world, is there a difference?"

The Hemdilumon asked angrily.

"The Ark Project has a great chance to stop it and just reset the digital world. The Wraith' will completely reduce the world to nothingness, and rebuild a more brutal world. What really threatens the two worlds is not the 'Ark Project', but the 'Spirits'. ”

"So, is the 'Wraith' everyone's last enemy?"

Remembering the foreseen future of the Shagutus, Kaye asked.

"So to speak. But until then, your enemies are not only the man, but also the 'knights' of the Divine Tree. ”

At the mention of 'Knight', the Sagemon laughed.

"What else do you want to ask me? Just say it. ”

Mina: Does the Argosmon who wants to invade the human world have a 'cooperative' relationship with you?

All of the topics were related to 'following fate', and they were all expected by the Sagemon. Then, ten years ago, she was taken to another dimension by the Digimon and witnessed the appearance and ambition of Argosmon, and Mina was sure that it was also a 'pawn' of Sagemon.

Sagemon: It was a complete accident, after all, it was a war year. It was because of its threat to my life that I had no choice but to use the 'Sky Key' fragment to teleport it to another dimension close to the human world. Thanks to the assistance of the Lord Angelmon and the Celestial Maiden, it was sealed before it threatened the human world.

No matter how much you pretend to be innocent and answer, you can't change the fact that the fate of others is in the hands of the Sage Beast!

"I see."

Finishing the question, Mina didn't want to waste any more words with the Sagemon. Sagemon is also a pawn of the Digimon, and no amount of resentment against him will help.
