Takuya Kanbara has decided to stop being human.

Page 67

At first, everyone was a little nervous when they heard "there's no time like the present," but they breathed a sigh of relief as they heard the rest. However, a new problem arose—

"But we don't have swimsuits."

"It's okay. I bought some clothes when I went to Akiha Market, including a swimsuit."

"Yay!" the crowd cheered.

Ten minutes later, at the lakeside behind the central island

This lake should have been a stagnant lake, but the main island and four sub-islands of Wandering Island form a small, self-contained water circulation system. For this reason, the scenery of the lake behind the mountain is no less than that of Jiuzhaigou.

After changing into their swimsuits, everyone stood on the beach by the lake, creating a unique scene: muscles, curves, bikinis, cleavage...

These refer to Takuya Kanbara, Teruji Minamoto, and Izumi Orimoto.

Himi Yuki's figure is average, with a slightly thin build, while Shibayama Junpei's figure is unremarkable, with a slightly chubby build.

Compared to the first three, the latter two are inevitably a bit shy.

"What are you doing here?"

A white seal-like Digimon emerged from the water; it was Gomamon.

There are actually no water-attribute Digimon on Wandering Island. Gomamon is the first one so far. After he moved into the lake, there were more fish in the lake.

Because Gomamon possesses the ability to summon fish, whether in the desert or a volcano, as long as he uses the "Fish Rampage" special move, he can summon a large number of colorful fish.

These fish do not have digital cores, so they are not Digimon, but they are not ordinary data creatures either. They possess a certain level of intelligence and exist somewhere between Digimon and data creatures.

So after Gomamon appeared, the entire lake immediately became vibrant with life.

"Swimming, of course."

The group stepped into the lake.

……

Meanwhile, Molecular Beast was fiddling with Takuya Kambara's Armored Digivice and Hyper Evolution Components in the underground laboratory, and soon after went to see Kouji Minamoto's Armored Digivice and Hyper Evolution Components.

"So that's it!"

Then, he picked up the Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex machines of Izumi Orimoto, Junpei Shibayama, and Tomoki Himi and began to study them.

"Using the data of the ten ancient warriors to enhance the energy of the warrior's spirit, thereby achieving super soul evolution, is a very orthodox approach, but there is another way to achieve the same effect."

Molecularmon summoned Angewomon and shared its thoughts.

Angewomon said, "I've thought of another way to evolve into a super soul, which is to concentrate the spirits of ten warriors to increase the energy of one group of warrior spirits, thereby entering a higher level of evolution."

Fortunately, she obtained the data of AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon and made them into Mega Evolution Components; otherwise, she would have had to use the Fighter Spirits of other people as evolution items.

Izumi Orimoto and his ilk are just slackers right now; they still have a chance to rise to prominence.

If their fighting spirit is used as an evolutionary component, they will become mere extras, without even a chance to rise to prominence.

"There's another method?" The molecular beast paused for a moment, then waved its hand and said, "That's not what I meant. There's another method that uses data from the same race to strengthen the fighter's spirit."

"What do you mean?" Angewomon asked.

Molecular Beast said, "We can strengthen the Ten Warriors using data that has similar characteristics to the Ancient Ten Warriors. For example, Ancient Deermon is an Ancient Beast type, or more accurately, it is the ancestor of mammalian Digimon. We can start from this point and find the Ultimate level data that can replace Ancient Deermon, so that Ice Warrior can evolve into a Super Soul."

Ultimate-level Digimon are extremely rare, let alone beast-type mammal Digimon...

Angewomon's mind raced, and she pulled out a DigiSpirit, asking, "Will this work?"

That is the DigiSpirit of Belphemon!

Chapter 96, The Weakness of the Fire Warrior

"Belphemon? Never heard of it..."

Molecularmon stroked its chin and scanned Belphemon's Digimon spirit.

Although Belphemon is primarily a Demon Lord type, it also has mammalian composition data.

Molecular Beast scanned the mental states of the two fighters inside Himi Tomoki's Armored Digivice and matched them with Belphemon's data.

AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon share a common lineage with the Fighter Spirit, making them a perfect match.

However, Belphemon could not achieve a perfect match.

After conducting the simulation, Molecular Beast said, "The super-evolution component made using this data may have certain side effects due to the ferocious nature of the data itself, such as going berserk and out of control, which would be very dangerous."

Anyway, Belphemon's Digimon Spirit is just gathering dust, so converting it into a Mega Evolution Component won't hurt whether you use it or let it continue to gather dust.

"This is the DigiSpirit of Orismon. As an ancient bird type, Orismon should be able to replace the data of Ancient Rainbowmon. Let's make this into a Mega Evolution component as well."

Following Angewomon's instructions, Molemon began creating new Mega Evolution Components.

Three minutes later, both components were completed simultaneously.

Because both components' data sources, Belphemon and Onismon, are ferocious, they could both cause the user to go berserk.

After some thought, Angewomon said, "Since they pose a certain degree of danger, let's call them... Hyperhazard Components."

The molecular beast said speechlessly, "Does it really have to be named?"

Angewomon smiled and said, "Takuya said that names have the power to define and strengthen, so we must have them."

Unfortunately, they didn't have the data on Bug-type Ultimate forms, so they couldn't create the Hyperhazard component that Junpei Shibayama had.

That evening, a banquet was held on Wandering Island to celebrate the defeat of the Royal Knights. After the banquet, Angewomon left everyone in the palace hall on the central island.

This palace was built by the Earth Warrior Grodonmon, who worked day and night without rest. It was in the style of a European emperor, magnificent and resplendent. The four walls were carved with the Ten Ancient Warriors, and the ceiling was carved with the Three Archangels, each painted and lifelike. It was unexpected that Grodonmon had some artistic talent.

It was precisely because of the effort put into completing these carvings that Guroton had to sleep for a day and a night, thus missing the daytime battle.

"Angewomon, is there something you want with us?"

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Angewomon took out the two Hyper Dangerous Components, described their functions and side effects, and then handed them to Izumi Orimoto and Tomoki Himi.

"What about mine?"

Shibayama Junpei asked with an expectant look on his face.

Angewomon said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Junpei, we don't have enough materials to make your evolution components."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Shibayama Junpei's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said nonchalantly, "It's alright, maybe next time."

Due to objective limitations, he couldn't be too demanding.

Grodonmon quickly said, "Lord Angewomon, they can all evolve with dual souls, and now they can even evolve with super souls. I haven't evolved with dual souls yet."

He worked tirelessly during this period, using his earth-elemental abilities to do the work of a hundred people, all in order to perfectly control the power of the Fighter's Spirit and to perform dual-soul evolution.

"of course."

Angewomon smiled slightly, took out an Armored Digivice and handed it to Grodonmon, allowing him to activate Dual Soul Evolution along with the others.

Grodonmon excitedly accepted the Armed Digivice, like an employee who had finally received their paycheck after a hard day's work.

After the items were distributed, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

I'll rest for the night; tomorrow the grueling training begins.

……

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Dynasmon and SwordEmperormon have been in this Digital World for some time now and have made quite a name for themselves.

Of course, it's a negative reputation.

News of their defeat spread rapidly in recent days, shocking all the Digimon in the Digital World. Meanwhile, the Wandering Island Ten Warriors, including Takuya Kanbara, also became famous in one battle.

This intelligence was passed through several hands before reaching the Dark Continent and eventually ending up in the ears of the Light Beast.

"Oh, these ten warriors are indeed quite capable."

Lucemon looked at Mirrormon and asked in a calm, even somewhat polite tone, "Mr. Mirrormon, what do you think about this?"

If it were the Light Beast of the past, given his arrogance, he would never have used honorifics.

But things are different now.

Lucemon realized his fate and decided to change it.

To transcend fate, you must transcend yourself.

He started by changing his way of speaking. Although he was still incredibly arrogant inside, his voice sounded polite, like a well-behaved neighbor's child.

The Mirror Beast's face only had a mouth, fiery red lips, and a mirror; it had no expression whatsoever, and no one knew what it was thinking.

After a while, he said, "The Ten Warriors are piloting the Island of Wandering towards the Dark Continent. They will arrive here in two days. The other warriors are not a threat, but we must be wary of the Fire Warriors."

Lucemon clapped his hands and laughed, "As expected of the Steel Warrior, it seems you know something. Tell me about it."

Magic Mirror Beast said, "My database shows that Fire God Beast is the embodiment and guardian of the firewall. His power is also inextricably linked to the firewall, and his Susanoo was also generated within the firewall, possessing the power of destruction and regeneration."

Firewalls, as one of the foundations of the digital world, are invisible yet ubiquitous, and their importance and power are self-evident.

The Light Beast frowned and asked again, "What do you think we should do?"

The Mirror Beast smirked and said, "To truly unleash the power of Susanoo, all ten warriors must be present. Without the four of us, Susanoo cannot unleash its full power. Moreover, Susanoo is ultimately just the power that Fire God Beast summons from the wall of fire. As long as we cut off his summoning and prevent him from using Susanoo, he will just be an ordinary fire warrior, and his strength will be limited."

The Light Beast asked directly, "How do we cut it off?"

The Mirror Beast suggested, "If we let the Demon King's Crest enter the Fire Warrior's body, it might sever his connection with the Fire Wall."

The Light Beast asked curiously, "Can the Demon King's Crest bypass a firewall?"

Firewalls are like the foundation of the universe—galaxies, stars, planets—the very foundation of the world, an innate treasure that must exist as long as the universe exists.

The Demon King's Emblem is merely an acquired treasure born from the evil of this world and the malice generated by intelligent beings. What are intelligent beings compared to the foundation of the universe?

"Lord Light Beast, you are mistaken. Acquired items are not necessarily inferior to innate items, and the Demon King's Crest is not necessarily inferior to the Firewall," the Mirror Beast laughed. "Furthermore, we are dealing with the Fire Warriors, not the Firewall."

Firewalls are incredibly powerful and difficult to deal with, but they are just inanimate objects.

But the warriors of fire are alive, intelligent and living beings. As living beings, they have weaknesses. How could they possibly escape the Seven Deadly Sins?

"Makes sense."

The Light Beast nodded with a smile.

Chapter 97, The Dirty Player

What should you do if you can't defeat your opponent in terms of raw strength?

The answer was already given when Bagramon fought Omegamon: restrict your privileges, reduce your abilities, and weaken you.

As long as the enemy is weak enough, I will not lose.

This tactic is indeed correct. Head-on confrontation is the way primitive people fight. In the information age, we must be based on strength, and then pay attention to strategy, tactics and intelligence. Otherwise, we will fall behind and eventually be eliminated.

"So which emblem do you think should be given?"

The Light Beast narrowed its eyes and asked, its light blue eyes fixed on the Mirror Beast. Its fingertips lightly tapped the armrest of the seat, and it still held three Demon King emblems in its hand—Pride, Lust, and Gluttony.

"The human form of the Fire Warrior is Takuya Kanbara, who is arrogant by nature..."

Confidence and arrogance are separated by a fine line.

To them, the enemy's confidence was arrogance.

When Mirrormon got to this point, it noticed a hint of displeasure on Lucemon's face, so it quickly changed the subject: "Then naturally we can't give him the Crest of Pride, otherwise he'll lose his connection to the firewall but strengthen himself, which would be detrimental to us."

The Light Beast then nodded slightly.

Implanting the Demon King's Crest into the Fire Warrior's body will inevitably bring him some kind of boost, so this method has a principle—it must both reduce Susanoo and not bring too much boost.

Therefore, the more compatible a Demon King's Crest is with Takuya Kanbara, the less likely it is to be shown.

Furthermore, if the Crest of Pride were used on Takuya Kanbara, the Light Beast's own strength would be weakened, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Magic Mirror Beast continued, "After he got together with Angewomon, he indulged in nightly revelry and even used strange abilities to make Angewomon constantly switch between Champion, Ultimate, and Mega levels. It's clear that this Lust Crest shouldn't be given to him either."

The Light Beast asked in astonishment, "Isn't he human?"

The Mirror Beast nodded: "Yes."

The scene was very quiet for a moment.

Lucemon was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What would happen if a human and a Digimon were to combine?"
