"Are you going to forgive humanity for all the sins they've committed against us? Do you even know how many brothers have died at the hands of humans so far?!"
Suddenly, a furious shout came, and the speaker was none other than the beast-type leader—the Celestial Eagle Beast (fake).
He finally managed to escape from Jeanne d'Arc, and upon returning to the beast tribe, he heard Flame Dragon's words. How could his grand plan, spanning a thousand years, be ruined by Flame Dragon's words?
"Lord Celestial Eagle Beast!"
Grizzly Beast was delighted to see that the newcomer was Celestial Eagle Beast.
Flamedramon had no intention of arguing with Celestial Eaglemon.
Because once you start arguing, it's tantamount to persuading, which means you're trapping yourself in hypocrisy.
He did not want to become a hypocrite.
Since we've decided to quell the war with violence, we must see it through to the end!
"Maybe you're right, but I'm better than you, so I'll set the rules."
I want a ceasefire, I want peace, what are you going to do about it? Hit me, you idiot!
"you!"
The Celestial Eagle Beast gritted its teeth and glared at the Flame Dragon Beast. It wanted to fight, but its body was only the size of the Flame Dragon Beast's palm, and it couldn't reveal its true form. Going up would only be asking for a beating.
Flamedramon ignored him, flapped its wings with a span of sixty meters and flew into the sky, circling above the Beast Tribe and loudly announcing the ceasefire decision. The Baby and Rookie Digimon were happy to hear this, but the Champion and Armor Digimon were mostly puzzled and annoyed.
"Outrageous! How dare they ignore me and make decisions directly for the beastmen? Where do they place me?!"
The Celestial Eagle Beast felt utterly humiliated and, in a fit of rage, flew into the sky to confront the Flame Dragon Beast.
The Flame Dragon Beast was determined to resolve the war with violence, so it had no intention of confronting the Celestial Eagle Beast. Before the Celestial Eagle Beast could speak, it reached out and grabbed the Celestial Eagle Beast, which was even larger than a tiger, in its hand.
"Ah! Let go of me!"
“Perfect, capturing you will make our trip to the human race more convincing.”
Flamedramon flew over the human town with lightning speed and loudly repeated the ceasefire decision three times to ensure that most of the artificial Digimon could hear it.
"W-what do you want to do?"
The dragon-man beast questioned, "Under normal circumstances, I would never have believed that the beastmen would stop the war. Instead, I would have thought it was a delaying tactic by the beastmen."
But seeing the Celestial Eagle Beast being held in the hands of the Flame Dragon Beast, he immediately believed it to be true. The Celestial Eagle Beast was the leader of the beast race, and now it was being held so helplessly in the hands of the Flame Dragon Beast. Clearly, the beast race had changed hands.
The Flame Dragon Beast said, "If you can't make the decision, where is your leader?"
The dragon-man beast wasn't angry. It asked the people around it, "Where is Lady Jeanne d'Arc?"
The humanoid Digimon standing nearby shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.
Jeanne d'Arc the Beast?!
Flamedramon was taken aback. Jeanne d'Arcmon had already dealt with the humanoid Digimon so quickly? And even become the leader. He was more efficient than me.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the human town, Yuan Hui and the others heard the voice of the Flame Dragon Beast.
"Takuya is really efficient."
"It seems he intends to eliminate war by force."
"This is the method that Lucemon used to quell the war between humanoids and beastmen back then, but it seems there is no better way."
Using force to quell a war may seem wrong at first glance, but upon closer examination, it is indeed the only option. The conflicts between humanoid and beast-type Digimon are too complex and tangled to be resolved by ordinary methods.
Historical experience tells us that force may not solve problems, but it can solve the problems of those who create them.
Although Jeanne d'Arc was a proponent of peace, she had to acknowledge this undeniable fact.
"Lady Jeanne d'Arc, the Beast!"
A Yakshamon ran up to Jeanne d'Arc.
Jeanne d'Arc Beast quickly waved its hand and said, "Uh, I'm not your Jeanne d'Arc Beast."
The Yakshamon then said, "I know, but since we can't find Lady Jeannemon, to avoid offending Lord AncientGreymon, could you temporarily pretend to be our Lady Jeannemon?"
Jeanne d'Arc and the others looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
Anyway, there's no risk involved.
So Jeannemon followed Yashamon to Flamedramon. Yashamon whispered to Dragonmon about the situation, explaining that since they couldn't find a leader, they had to let Jeannemon take the place.
Knowing Yashamon's predicament, Dragonmanmon had no choice but to try anything, pointing to Jeanne d'Arcmon and introducing her to Flamedramon: "This is our leader—Jeanne d'Arcmon."
Jeanne d'Arc smiled adorably.
(= ̄ω ̄=)?
After a moment of silence, the Flame Dragon Beast still went through the motions and asked, "I want to quell the war on Wandering Island. As the leader of the human race, what are your opinions?"
Jeanne d'Arc replied without hesitation, "I have no objection."
The dragon-man beast's eye twitched. It thought to itself that the answer was too quick and might give the impression of being preordained.
The Celestial Eagle Beast, held in the hands of the Flame Dragon Beast, was furious, its eyes blazing with rage. A thousand-year plan had been ruined in a single day. It had schemed for thousands of years, only to be destroyed by a single sentence from the Jeanne d'Arc Beast.
"Calm down, calm down, I still have a chance... I might as well just awaken Onismon and kill all the Digimon!"
The Celestial Eagle Beast hardened its heart, then suddenly trembled. It turned out that the Flame Dragon Beast and Jeanne d'Arc Beast had finished their symbolic talk and decided to hold peace talks and planning between the two races at the Central Island Ruins tonight. So it grabbed the Celestial Eagle Beast and returned to the Beast Tribe to spread the news of the peace talks tonight.
The beasts dared not speak out in anger, for the Flame Dragon Beast was stronger than them, and even if they rode in a chariot, they might not be a match for it.
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
At the peace talks, the south side consisted of humanoid Digimon led by Jeanne d'Arcmon and Dragonmon, while the north side consisted of beast-type Digimon led by Eaglemon and Grizzlymon.
Despite the promise of peace talks, the atmosphere on the scene remained tense and volatile, as if war could break out at any moment.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the Flame Dragon Beast roared and released a huge fireball into the sky, which exploded hundreds of meters in the air, like a dazzling firework.
The Digimon were stunned by what they saw, all overwhelmed by Flamedramon's power, and the tense atmosphere on the scene vanished.
Having a big fist doesn't mean you're superior.
"First, I'd like to introduce myself. I am not AncientGreymon, but the successor of AncientGreymon's power—Takuya Kanbara."
As he spoke, Takuya Kanbara emerged from the back of the Flame Dragon Beast's neck, his red coat fluttering in the night wind.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Following the arm of the Flame Dragon Beast, Takuya Kanbara landed on the ground with a few leaps, standing in a line with Kouji Minamoto, Izumi Orimoto, Junpei Shibayama, Tomoki Himi, and Grodon Beast, striking a neat pose.
Bokomon coughed lightly, raised his hands high, and shouted excitedly, "Celebrate! The elemental warriors who have inherited the power of the legendary Ten Warriors and protect the Digital World are the new Ten Warriors. This is the moment when a new legend is born!"
The question-and-answer beast and the shaman beast clapped and cheered.
"The Ten Warriors?!"
The beasts present were shocked. The name of the Ten Warriors has existed since ancient times, and such heroic figures are well-known on the Island of Wandering.
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Eagle Beast's eyes gleamed with a strange light.
"The reason your two races are constantly fighting is because you lack a decision-maker." Takuya Kanbara pointed at Jeanne d'Arc Beast. "In the name of the Ten Warriors, we appoint Jeanne d'Arc Beast to take charge of the overall situation."
The humanoid Digimon was delighted upon hearing this.
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Garudamon, as if it had seized upon an opening, and it shouted, "I object! Why should this humanoid Digimon preside over this? Is this fair to beast-type Digimon?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the beast-type Digimon became agitated. They already disliked humanoid Digimon, so how could they allow a humanoid Digimon to stand on their heads?
"Don't let your emotions get the better of you; this concerns the well-being of the entire Island of Wandering."
Takuya Kambara criticized, "Humanoids possess a higher level of rationality; I believe everyone understands this simple truth."
There's a trap in this statement. He added the word "simple." If the beast form can't explain it clearly, it's an admission that the beast form is stupid; if the beast form can explain it clearly, it's an admission that the human form is more rational.
The result is the same whether it's positive or negative.
Judging from their expressions, none of the beast-like creatures noticed the wordplay; they're all so clueless...
"Moreover, this Jeanne d'Arc beast is not the Jeanne d'Arc beast that you know."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Joan of Arc beast.
Jeanne d'Arcmon nodded, activating the hidden reserve energy within her body—the Digital Soul that Takuya Kanbara had previously injected into her—and initiating her evolution: "Jeanne d'Arcmon Ultimate Evolution... Angewomon!"
In the instant of evolution, colorful purifying light spread out, calming the restless hearts of the beasts.
"It's her!" The Celestial Eagle Beast's pupils shrank.
Author's message:
P.S.: Happy National Day!
This is truly a moment to celebrate! Let us celebrate! The great nation that has inherited the power of five thousand years of civilization, transcends time and space, connects the past with the creation of the future, is named the New China! This is its seventieth anniversary!
Chapter 73, Angewomon Modification Project
Eaglemon recognizes Angewomon.
To be precise, it was Merumexmon, the original entity, that recognized Omniwomon.
Before his fall, he was an archangel in the ranks of the gods. At that time, Angewomon was one of the three archangels under Lucemon, so he naturally knew him.
In retrospect, Angewomon was his former boss.
I never expected that Jeanne d'Arcmon would actually be Ophanimon!
Ten thousand years ago, when the war between humanoids and beastmen was escalating, the Light Beast used its immense power to turn the tide and then used the power of light to appease the beasts, thus resolving the world war.
History repeats itself in such an astonishing way. Today, it is Flamedramon who uses its power to turn the tide, and Angewomon who uses the power of light to soothe the beasts. With a combination of soft and hard tactics, and with the husband and wife working together, their strength is unbreakable.
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again!
The subsequent developments will mirror those during the reign of the Light Beasts in history; the Island of Wanderers will remain peaceful for a long time until the ruler becomes a tyrant.
But will Angewomon become a tyrant?
Unbeknownst to him, the Eaglemon was currently contemplating whether or not to release Onismon.
Seeing the ten warriors and Angewomon enjoying themselves, Vipermon was still somewhat wary and ultimately chose to be cautious, thinking to himself, "I'll observe for a while before making any plans."
That evening, a grand party was held to celebrate the reconciliation between the humanoid and beast-type beings. The humanoid beings provided fine wine and delicacies, while the beast-type beings provided fresh fruits and vegetables. All the beasts drank themselves into a stupor and returned home.
After drinking, most of the Digimon from both races revealed that they actually didn't want to fight anymore, but they were too afraid to speak their minds due to the current state of conflict between the two races.
Before this, the main conflict on Wandering Island was a war between humanoids and beastmen.
The tide was irreversible, like a flood flowing into the sea. They had no power to move mountains or fill seas. If they expressed their desire for peace talks, they would either be killed by the enemy or be ostracized by their own people. Therefore, they could only helplessly drift with the tide.
This peace talk may seem like Takuya Kanbara's arbitrary decision, but it actually aligns with the wishes of these peace-loving Digimon.
"When Lucemon stopped the war between humanoid and beastoid Digimon, it might have been because the desire of the Digimon that longed for peace in their hearts triggered the power of the God of Inevitability."
Takuya Kambara remarked that war is never the best policy, no matter when or where; peace and development are the only true solutions.
Takuya Kanbara responded to the Digimon's desire for peace and did what the God of Necessity should do, and the God of Necessity is another name for Tendou.
In other words, he is acting in accordance with the Way of Heaven.
"Takuya, I want to maintain the form at its perfect level."
Angewomon walked to Takuya Kanbara's side and whispered.
Takuya Kanbara had no objection to this, but he still couldn't help asking, "Why?"
Angewomon explained, "Because there is another Jeannemon on the island, if I remain in Champion form, it will be difficult for others to address me in the future."
Actually, this is only one of the reasons.
The second reason is that Jeanne d'Arc's appearance is too girlish and immature, lacking the aura of a queen, making it difficult for her to manage the overall situation.
Then why not maintain the ultimate form?
The ultimate form's queenly aura is even stronger than the complete form.
This involves the issue of height. Jeanne d'Arcmon is shorter than Takuya Kanbara now, Angewomon is about the same height as Takuya Kanbara, and Ophanimon is half a head taller than Takuya Kanbara.
Considering the subtle feelings that height might bring, she chose Angewomon, which was of moderate height.
Taku Kambara didn't think much of it, but asked curiously, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen that Jeanne d'Arc beast yet. Where did she go? It's such a pity that she didn't attend such a grand banquet."
Angewomon shrugged and said, "I don't know, I haven't been able to find her."
