The Vulcan's fingertips drew ever closer to the Time-Space Device.
No! No!
Vulcan S gritted its teeth and held firm to the last hurdle.
Hey~
The fingertip of the Fire God Beast still managed to break through the last line of defense and touch the Time-Space Device. The Fire God Beast S felt a chill in its heart, cried out in surprise, and felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
The next moment, spacetime distorted, and the two disappeared from the spot.
……
"Where is this place?"
The Yellow Dragon Beast regained consciousness and, finding itself surrounded by distorted figures, roared angrily, "I'm awake, but I'm trapped by the Shadow Beast... Damn Light Beast!"
"What is a Shadow Beast?" the Molecular Beast asked.
"Who are you?"
The molecular beast that Huanglong Beast saw was distorted. He was startled that such a strange thing existed in the world.
The reason for this is that he was placed inside a glass jar.
His soul had been extracted and placed into a container.
"That's the situation," the molecular beast explained simply.
The Yellow Dragon Beast could hardly accept reality: "What? Impossible! My defense is invincible!"
"Huanglong ore is indeed hard; I believe no one can break it in a battle, but this is my laboratory."
The molecular beast grinned and said, "I briefly entered a higher dimension, where your Yellow Dragon Mine is full of gaps. I don't need to break the Yellow Dragon Mine; I just need to take your soul out of the gaps, as simple as unscrewing a screw."
The Yellow Dragon Beast was completely bewildered.
Simply put, times have changed.
Chapter 146, The Second Light Beast
Molecular Beast didn't care whether Huanglong Beast understood what he was saying, and then he went to carry out the next experiment - the Huanglong ore stripping experiment.
As is well known, Huanglong ore is the hardest natural substance in the digital world. Even gold digital alloys can only come close to the hardness of Huanglong ore.
Of course, it is not as hard as Huanglong ore. Digital alloy itself also has the characteristics of being lightweight, flexible, and malleable, making it far more practical than Huanglong ore.
Huanglong ore is one of the raw materials for digital alloys. Since digital alloys exist in the digital world, there must be a method for refining Huanglong ore.
However, no matter how hard Huanglong ore is, it is ultimately a product of the birth of the universe. Therefore, Huanglong Beast itself said that unless it possesses the high temperature and pressure of the Big Bang, any physical attack is meaningless to Huanglong ore.
In other words, before the Big Bang, everyone was equal.
In the current Digital World, no one can achieve a large-scale cosmic explosion, so Huanglongmon's defense is indeed invincible. The only way to bypass its defense is to use other methods, not to break through it directly.
However, simulating the high temperature and pressure of the Big Bang in the laboratory is not a problem.
Thus, witnessed by Huanglongmon, Molemon used a simulated Big Bang to break off one of Huanglongmon's horns. The Huanglong ore from that horn was enough for all the Digimon in the Digital World to be modified with Digi-alloy.
"How dare you! You dare to ruin my perfect body!"
The Yellow Dragon Beast stared with eyes wide with rage. If looks could kill, he would have already reduced the Molecular Beast to atoms.
Molecularmon scoffed, "Ancient Digital Emperor, times have changed. This is the power of science. Digimon like you, who are born with power, simply use it. Of course, that's as easy as breathing for you. But we are different. We are born weak, so we have to study power. The deeper we study into the microscopic world, the stronger we become."
Wise people seek strength within themselves.
No matter how skilled one is, it only changes the sword from bronze to carbon steel, and the bow and arrow to crossbow.
That doesn't make any sense.
Only by studying the microscopic world can we create a weapon of mass destruction like the nuclear bomb.
Molecularmon acquired a vast amount of knowledge through the spirit of the Steel-type warrior, and he held most of the ancient Digimon in contempt.
These ancient powerhouses, such as the Yellow Dragon Beast, the Light Beast, and even most of the ancient Ten Warriors, were born with power, but only knew the most basic applications.
From the perspective of the molecular beast, this is a great pity.
To put it simply, it means occupying a position without actually using it.
"You are strong, but you could be stronger. You are just strong, which is very disappointing."
The molecular beast walked over and picked up the glass jar containing the yellow dragon beast.
"What are you going to do?"
The Yellow Dragon Beast was startled.
The molecular beast chuckled, "Sleep in the warehouse. Don't worry, we'll take care of your body."
Huanglongmon's expression changed drastically; how could he, the mighty Digital Emperor, have fallen to such a state?
However, no matter how much he shouted, it was no use. He was just a soul now, without a body, and his fighting power was even inferior to that of a baby Digimon.
"Next up is Lucemon."
After the consciousness transfer experiment was successful, Molecular Beast used the same method on the petrified Luce Beast, and then put both of their consciousnesses into the warehouse.
"Light Beast, you've finally met your match, hahaha—!"
Seeing that the Light Beast was being treated the same as him, the Yellow Dragon Beast felt much more at ease.
People are not worried about scarcity, but about inequality.
Seeing that another Digital Emperor met the same fate as himself, Huanglongmon felt a sense of balance, finding joy even in hardship.
"..."
The Light Beast's soul also had a gloomy expression. He hadn't expected to break free of the seal in this way, but fortunately, he had a backup plan outside, so he wasn't afraid.
……
There are 36 hours left until the start of the Paradise instance.
After extracting the consciousness of Huanglongmon and Luminmon, Molecular Beast brought the two consciousness canisters to the central island palace of Wandering Island to meet the angels.
"The consciousness transfer technology has been successful. In addition, the Huanglong ore from the Huanglong Beast has also been successfully extracted, allowing us to produce more digital alloy armor and weapons."
After Molecularmon finished its report, one of the angels said, "Angewomon, now that Lucemon's consciousness has been extracted, can we unseal Lucemon's body?"
This angel is Jeannemon, or more precisely, Meromexmon disguised as Jeannemon.
"What reason?"
Angewomon looks at Jeanne d'Arcmon (fake).
The soul of the Light Beast in the glass jar narrowed its eyes. What kind of trash dared to try and seize its body!
The Yellow Dragon Beast's soul watched this scene with great interest, quite gloating.
"Lucidmon, you've finally met your match!"
"..."
The Light Beast's face was gloomy. He didn't want to talk. He wouldn't change anything in this situation, so he wouldn't say anything useless, otherwise it would damage his image.
He ignored the Yellow Dragon Beast's taunts.
Jeanne d'Arc (fake) said, "Since we can obtain Huanglong ore from Huanglongmon's body and mass-produce Digi-Alloy, I think we can also benefit from Lucemon. Weren't the three great archangels born from Lucemon's power?"
The angels, upon hearing this, found it to be true.
Jeanne d'Arc (fake) pressed her advantage, saying, "If we can extract energy from Lucemon's body, we can create a new Ultimate-level Archangel, and thus, the power of justice will be stronger."
The whole place was in an uproar.
Seraphimon reminded everyone, "Don't forget, Lucemon also has dark energy within its body."
Jeanne d'Arcmon (fake) quickly retorted, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but there are also Dark Warriors among the Ten Warriors who saved the world. I think the fall of Digimon lies in the individual, not in the attribute of power."
The angels were talking amongst themselves.
"Yes, darkness is not the same as depravity."
“Now that we’re running a school in a dark area, where there are also righteous fallen angels, can we accept the concept of dark angels?”
The angels kept talking, and although they didn't directly refute Seraphimon, he was still left speechless.
The idea that angels should be radiant and holy is clearly no longer suitable for modern concepts.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Angewomon silenced the commotion and said in an unequivocal tone, "Seal away the souls of Huanglongmon and Lucemon. As for unsealing Lucemon's body, I will give it serious consideration."
After the meeting, the souls of the Yellow Dragon Beast and the Light Beast were sent to the warehouse on the Island of Wandering and sealed away.
Joan of Arc (the fake beast) left the hall with a smile on her face.
She had long coveted the body of the Light Beast!
Lucemon's body is currently empty, and the consciousness transfer technology is complete. Once her consciousness is injected into Lucemon's body, she can acquire that powerful body and become—
The second Lucemon!
Chapter 147, The Demon King is Takuya Kambara
After the meeting, Angewomon contacted Takuya Kanbara. There was no particular reason; after all, releasing Lucemon's body was of great importance, and the Ten Warriors were the ones who sealed Lucemon, so it was only right and proper to contact them.
However, she was unable to contact Takuya Kambara.
Unless Takuya Kambara is also not on Earth, how could they not be able to contact him?
The fact is, Takuya Kanbara is indeed not on Earth.
To be precise, it wasn't on Earth at this time; he and the other people transcended time and space and arrived on Earth thirteen years later.
"Is this the Earth of the future?"
Vulcan stood atop the OEE Tower, gazing into the distance. The city in his field of vision had indeed undergone subtle changes compared to the past, and overall it seemed to have improved. The air was fresh and the city was peaceful.
But something just feels off...
He turned to look at the Fire God Beast S and saw it huddled in a corner, trembling.
"...This doesn't seem like a fire warrior."
The Fire God Beast muttered something, and then a burst of light emanated from its body. This was the light of degeneration, and the Fire God Beast S had degenerated into the Wildfire Beast.
A hybrid Digimon that regressed to a half-human, half-beast state due to a loss of courage. It is a Majin-type Digimon that, despite its child-like appearance, possesses power comparable to that of a regular Champion-level Digimon.
"How could this be?"
Wildfire looked at his hands and said in disbelief, "I'm going to take out my Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex to degenerate, but I can no longer turn back into a human."
He screamed in panic, spewing out a fiery dragon-like flame from his mouth.
The Fire God Beast dispersed the raging flames and strode forward, saying, "A warrior of fire should always possess a fiery courage. You have lost that, and that's why you've become like this... Is there anything in this era that you should be afraid of?"
Halfway through his sentence, seeing the trembling look on the wildfire beast's face, he couldn't bear to continue and instead asked a question.
Under the watchful gaze of the Fire God Beast, the Wildfire Beast slowly explained the reason.
This world has been ruled by a demon king who has taken away all of humanity's weapons, such as tanks, missiles, fighter jets, nuclear bombs, and nuclear submarines. He forcibly bound humanity together, forcing them to retain electronic devices and continuously produce data. It can be said to be a world where all humanity is entertained to death, and everyone is immersed in a fantasy world.
"No wonder the city is so quiet."
The Fire God Beast had sensed something was off about the city before, and after hearing what the Wildfire Beast said, it suddenly felt that the city was eerily quiet, with only birdsong remaining.
Looking down, you can see trash can-shaped robots sweeping the streets, keeping the city clean.
Humans indulge in fantasy, while robots clean up the trash.
This is the world as it is now.
"Who is that demon king?"
The Fire God Beast asked, and in fact, recalling how people had treated him before, he probably knew the Demon King's identity.
"it's me."
A familiar voice came from the sky, a voice that sounded like that of Namikaze Minami.
The Fire God Beast looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in mid-air with nothing beneath his feet. Of course, that wasn't important. What was important was that this person... was Takuya Kambara.
