Chapter 306 You want us to leave this world sooner? Then let's talk about the price you're willing to pay!
"The X-Antibody is a special data that is born from the struggle of Digimon to survive during the X-Program deletion process. It can greatly stimulate the potential of Digimon and can be said to be a further evolutionary form on the basis of the original evolutionary form."
"Now, Belstarmon X and Fairymon X, who have completed their X-evolution by absorbing X-antibody data, can be considered to be Ultra Ultimate or Ultra Perfect levels. You don't need to worry about them reappearing and self-deleting their data..."
"WarGreymon, can I trust you? You sacrificed yourself for this world right before my eyes, but then suddenly reappeared and came to tell us about X-Evolution. Are you really still the same WarGreymon?"
Broly questioned the identity of the WarGreymon before him.
"I'm not sure if I'm the original WarGreymon. Yggdrasil used my data to reshape my body."
When I came to my senses, I found myself in a data space, becoming a new Royal Knight. But one thing is certain: I still retain my past memories, including the memories of giving you the X-Antibody.
WarGreymon answered.
"But there's also the possibility that your memories have been tampered with. Would you like me to check your data?"
Molecular Beast made a suggestion.
"If this makes you feel at ease."
WarGreymon did not refuse and entered the laboratory with Molemon, voluntarily lying inside the data analyzer.
However, even if WarGreymon had some problems, Molecularmon couldn't actually detect them. It simply wanted to study the data of WarGreymon, the Ultimate-level monster that had delivered itself to its doorstep.
Such data is meaningful. After collecting it, Molecular Beast felt that he could upgrade the main cannon of the spaceship fortress—the Ultimate Destruction Cannon.
"The World Tree is uneasy about your lingering in this world, and has therefore sent me to inquire when you will be able to leave."
Inside the data detection chamber, WarGreymon explained his purpose.
Broly's displayed power and his stay in this world put immense pressure on the World Tree.
Using violence to expel them is simply not a viable option, as the Twelve Royal Knights have already proven with their lives.
Even if the World Tree were to rescue its own paladin from the Dark Zone and engage in battle with the enemy again, the outcome would not change.
Yggdrasil could easily calculate this, so it became extremely polite, unlike the absolute ruler of this Digital World who usually had the final say, and instead sent WarGreymon to negotiate.
"We are staying in this world because Gluttonous King is worried about the safety of Gatomon. Gatomon is the degenerate form of Belstarmon. He is worried that if we leave, the X-program in Gatomon's body will be activated again, and we may not be able to return to this world."
"Haven't I already made that clear?"
"As a Royal Knight, your words may not be credible. Given how much Gluttonous King dotes on Gatomon, he would not allow the other party to be in danger again, even if it meant abandoning his original goal."
The Molecular Beasts weren't lying; because of the X program, their stay in this world had been extended indefinitely.
"This is bad. A large-scale war is about to break out in this world."
WarGreymon, emerging from the data analyzer, scratched its head, a troubled expression on its face.
"War? Hasn't the World Tree of this world learned its lesson enough? Does it still dare to challenge the Gluttonous Beast King?"
The molecular beast found it strange and asked directly.
"It's not about challenging him, but rather that the army of the Seven Demon Kings of the Dark Region is gathering, preparing to attack through the gap in the world he created. War is about to break out between the surface world and the inner world, and this is the future predicted by the World Tree."
"But what does this have to do with us? Do you think those Digimon from the Dark Zone can defeat Gluttony King?"
Molecularmon was unconcerned. Having traversed three worlds, it had fully grasped the strength of its master and no longer took the Digimon of the Dark Zone of this world seriously.
"Indeed, it has nothing to do with you, but if you continue to linger in this world, the World Tree will be wary of you preserving your own power. Without the World Tree's help, the surface world may find it difficult to withstand the offensive of the Seven Demon Kings' army in the Dark Region."
"WarGreymon explained."
"Isn't this exactly what the World Tree wanted? We can erase the data of many Digimon without using the X program."
"Dark data is still data. If there is too much of it, it will be even more uncontrollable than Program X, and the world will still be destroyed."
"So, you mean you want our Gluttonous Beast King to help you defeat the Seven Demon Kings' army in the Dark Zone?"
"It's not that we're asking you to help us defeat the Seven Demon Kings' army." WarGreymon paused before continuing, "We'd rather die fighting the Seven Demon Kings' army than be deleted by the X program."
Because of the Gluttonous Beast, the World Tree has abandoned the original Ark Project. Next, it will guide the great war between the surface world and the dark zone.
It will be a war to clean up data, and countless Digimon will be thrown into this war and die.
However, in order to maintain the balance of the war, the World Tree needs to build up its strength. If you continue to linger in this world, the World Tree will have to be on guard against you, which could lead to a situation where the battlefield situation cannot be maintained.
"It's as if the World Tree can withstand the Gluttonous Beast King right now. If the Gluttonous Beast King really wanted to destroy this world..."
"It's true that we can't resist it, but the World Tree is just that inflexible."
To be honest, even WarGreymon couldn't understand Yggdrasil's thoughts.
However, the logic of World Tree is actually very simple: it rigidly calculates probability and risk, and then selects the approach with lower risk.
For example, when it comes to erasing data, the World Tree in this world has many options, but it chooses to create the X program specifically for erasing Digimon data in order to carry out the so-called Ark Project.
However, after encountering Broly, a formidable opponent from another world, during the execution of Project Ark, the risks of continuing the project became too great, so World Tree decisively terminated Project Ark.
The World Tree took notice of the Seven Demon Kings' mobilization of their armies, but instead of repairing the breach in the surface world created by Broly in order to continue clearing the overloaded memory data, it quietly changed the increasingly risky Ark Project into a less risky plan to incite war.
Similarly, after the plan to incite war was corrected, the World Tree took it into consideration because Broly, a great threat whose actions were unpredictable, did not leave this world.
Yggdrasil had to devote a large portion of its power to defending against Broly's threat. Even though it knew through calculations that such defense might be ineffective, Yggdrasil did not give up or let things slide. Instead, it actively devised strategies and sent WarGreymon to negotiate.
Every decision the World Tree makes is aimed at reducing the risk of this digital world being destroyed. It is like a skilled artificial intelligence chess player, ensuring that the entire situation leads to the most correct outcome.
During this period, all the Digimon in this world are His pawns, including Himself, who is a pawn whenever needed.
"I can understand such rigid calculations."
The molecular beast merely simulated the World Tree's ideas and found the logic to be very clear, simply because it thought about problems in the same way most of the time.
"Ah, do you understand?"
WarGreymon was somewhat surprised, and then asked Molemon to persuade the boy.
"I can help you persuade them, but you should know the price: leaving this world quickly won't do us any good either."
"So what do you want?"
"You are a sensible Digimon, and so is the Yggdrasil of this world. Here's what we'll do: you hand over the source code of the X program to me. Once I've thoroughly studied it, Gluttony should be able to rest easy."
Secondly, due to the impact of Program X, our spaceship fortress consumed a large amount of data. We need corresponding compensation from you. Since the data in your world is going to be deleted anyway, why not give us the data you don't need?
The molecular beast put forward the conditions.
In response, WarGreymon uploaded its stated conditions to Yggdrasil's data space and quickly received a response from Yggdrasil.
"The World Tree has granted your request."
"It's been a pleasure working with you. And now that the Gluttonous Beast King has seen your sincerity, he will surely understand your concerns and grant your request to leave this world as soon as possible."
The source code of program X was traded away, along with a massive amount of data in three categories.
The molecular beast didn't stand on ceremony and immediately used the massive compensation data to upgrade the spaceship fortress a second time.
It modified the Ultimate Destruction Cannon into an output cannon capable of releasing Gaia Energy Bullets, and also obtained data on MetalGarurumon, adding an output port for Absolute Cold Bullets.
However, the ultimate weapon is the Ripple Cannon, which can unleash the X-Program. This weapon is useless against Broly, who is not a Digimon, and it is also useless against Digimon with the X-Antibody. But for Digimon without the X-Antibody, it can be said to be a weapon of mass destruction.
With this thing, Molecular Beast felt like he was back in his original world, and he could probably even pilot this upgraded spaceship and solo the Dark Four.
Of course, the premise is that they cannot form X antibodies. Once X antibodies are formed, it would be a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead, but it is indeed a powerful weapon.
The dark space, which served as the power source, was also transformed into the kind of data space that the World Tree possessed, capable of efficiently transmitting data energy.
In other words, the problem of being unable to leave the Shinjuku area due to the laws of physics in the previous world will be solved. This spaceship fortress will be able to continue to ensure the normal operation of the spaceship's power system even in a data-free environment, with the data space serving as a mobile base station.
In addition, the Digimon crew members on the spaceship also benefited. With the supply of a large amount of compensation data from the World Tree in this Digital World, they absorbed the data and completed their super evolution. Some even surpassed the limit of Perfect level and evolved into Ultimate level Digimon.
Fairymon X evolved into MarineAngemon X, while the two Lilimon X evolved into Rosemon X and BanchoLilimon X respectively. Even Tailmon's Lilacmon form evolved into Lotusmon X form due to the accumulation of terrifying data.
Unfortunately, Lotusmon X is not Crystal Palace's officially recognized waifu form. However, the Great Flowermon that Lotusmon X attempted to evolve by dragging Rosemon X into is in its waifu form.
Rafflesia is very strong, so strong that even the X-antibody cannot work on this form.
However, Broly was not happy, because if it weren't for the help of the World Tree of this world, Gatomon and the others who had evolved into Rafflemon might not have been able to revert back.
Gatomon X's somewhat reckless attempt at fusion evolution nearly killed itself and Rosemon X, which made Broly angry at it for the first time.
"I'm sorry, Abu, I promise it won't happen again."
Gatomon X hovered in front of Broly, feeling very uneasy knowing it had done something wrong.
Fortunately, Broly was only worried about it and wasn't really angry, so he quickly forgave it.
"Since the World Tree of this world has a way to separate you, while you can evolve into Rafflesia without any risk, agree to become my wife in Rafflesia form."
Broly didn't waste the opportunity.
"Huh?!"
The World Tree, which helped separate the data of the two Rafflesia Beasts, wrote: "..."
Thus, of all the waifu evolutions that Gatomon X currently possesses, it is the newly evolved Ogremon, a fusion evolution, that has made it Broly's Digimon waifu first.
Although Broly reaped the happiness value of this form ahead of time, he still gained nearly 170,000 happiness points because Gatomon X already had a very high happiness value.
The giant flower was overjoyed. Knowing that "wife" meant a lifelong partner, she hugged her son tightly and rubbed against him intimately after becoming his wife.
After discontinuing its fusion evolution, Rosemon X, which evolved from Floramon, became somewhat embarrassed.
After the fusion evolution, her consciousness was completely synchronized with Gatomon's, and she could fully feel Gatomon's affection for Broly.
That was a different kind of affection from how these Digimon subordinates treated their own king, which made Rosemon X, after discontinuing its fusion evolution, feel somewhat uncomfortable.
On the contrary, BanchoLilimon X, which evolved from Palmon, became somewhat carefree and treated its king like a good buddy.
"Yo, Gluttonous King, are you going to help Gatomon adapt to Belstarmon X Mode? Can I join you?"
This guy has a lot of potential to be a third wheel, often joining in when Broly is practicing shooting with Belstar Beast X.
However, it must be said that this guy is quite strong. He was able to fight against Belstarmon X's dual guns with just a pair of yo-yos. It's hard to believe that he and the originally clumsy and gluttonous Palmon are the same Digimon.
Similarly contrasting with BanchoLilymon is MarineAngemon X. Originally in its Fairymon form, it possessed strong combat abilities, but after evolving into MarineAngemon X, it became a purely support Digimon with no offensive moves whatsoever.
This change made it difficult for Fairymon's evolved form, MarineAngemon X, to withstand the attack. However, in its place, it gained an extremely terrifying support ability: the skill "Love of the Ocean," which can instantly disarm all enemies.
Even Broly, after being attacked by MarineAngemon X, would feel calm, like lying in a warm bed in the dead of winter, not wanting to move at all. Of course, for Broly, it was more like the feeling of lying on Paamon and sunbathing when he was a child, which was very comfortable.
"Seriously, have I become nothing more than your sleep aid?"
MarineAngemon X complained a little, but still released its ocean love to Belstarmon X and Broly. Broly lay lazily on Belstarmon X, while Belstarmon X also languidly hugged the boy.
With a clear blue sky overhead, you can hardly feel the passage of time, yet your happiness level can rise rapidly in such moments.
Although it might only increase the daily happiness value by a point or two compared to the past, MarineAngemon has already earned its reputation as the best support.
"We've given you the X program and data you wanted. When are you going to leave?"
Crimson Knightmon, retrieved from the Dark Area by the World Tree, came to inquire about the exact time when the spaceship fortress left this world.
As the armies of the Seven Demon Lords of the Dark Area and the Digimon army of the Surface World pressed towards the gap in the world created by Broly, Yggdrasil became somewhat anxious.
"You have indeed paid the price. I will go and consult with King Gluttony."
Molecular Beast is the only one that hasn't absorbed massive amounts of data to evolve, because it hasn't decided on its own evolutionary path yet. It used to want to evolve into Machinedramon, but now it looks down on Machinedramon.
"Then go ask them quickly."
The golden-armored dragon beast that followed urged them on.
"King of Gluttony, the internal data storage of the spaceship fortress is full. Shall we depart for the new world?"
A small drone arrived at Broly's rooftop, where he was leisurely enjoying his days, but it was from inside that the Molecular Beast's question came through.
"If you've taken a favor, you should do it in return. Since the World Tree of this world is in such a hurry to see us off, then let's leave."
Thinking of something, Broly paused, then perked up from his sluggish state and added to the drone, "Molecular Beast, don't wear the wrong thing in the next world."
"Understood, this time it definitely won't be wrong."
Upon hearing this, the molecular beast felt a chill run down its spine, realizing that this was a warning.
Perhaps in the next world, if a danger similar to Program X appears again, the Gluttonous King will turn against his navigator.
The molecular beast no longer dared to arbitrarily adjust the spacetime frequency. After the two royal knights left the spaceship fortress, it opened a new spacetime channel according to the spacetime frequency it had deduced, which should be correct.
The spaceship fortress, which had been upgraded once again and was now incredibly advanced, rushed into the spacetime tunnel. Not long after Broly and the others left this world, a great battle broke out between the Digimon of the surface world and the Dark Area.
The seven demon kings who ruled the Dark Region were excited to attack when they discovered that the World Tree had not repaired the gap between the Dark Region and the surface world.
"I've had enough of staying in this dark, sunless place. This time, the surface world will be our territory. Attack!"
Lilithmon gave the order to attack, and the dark army surged toward the breach like a tidal wave.
"Stop the invasion of evil Digimon from the Dark Area!"
Gallantmon gave the order, even though he knew that Yggdrasil had deliberately allowed this great battle to eliminate excess Digimon. But it was still much better than him releasing the X-Program and becoming an executioner to wipe out other Digimon.
The Ark Project was as if it had never existed, and the blame for the destruction of a part of the world by the Saiyan boy was placed on the seven demon lords of the Dark Area.
A protracted battle between good and evil has begun, and the World Tree of this world has come to understand the concept of the constant balance of all things.
