The history of this world is quite interesting. The two great rulers, Huanglong Beast and Guangming Beast, were sealed in the Dark Region, which aroused their interest, so they entered the Dark Region through the Dark Continent.
Upon arriving at the heart of the dark region, they encountered the legendary Beast of Light.
Dynasmon muttered, "So this is the legendary Lucemon? It's like a little kid."
SwordKingmon chuckled, "Oh~ dear Dynasmon, don't be fooled by his appearance, he possesses power that is no less than yours or mine."
Within the seal, the Light Beast opened its eyes.
"Where did this little bug come from again..."
His voice was cold and detached, carrying undisguised contempt.
The Dynasmon proudly declared, "We are the Royal Knights under the World Tree."
傲？
Before the arrogant demon king?
Overcome!
The Light Beast scoffed, "Where did this trash come from? Never heard of it."
This Digital World was first ruled by Beast-type Digimon led by Huanglongmon, and later by Angel-type Digimon led by Lucemon. Although there was a Beast-type Angel like Cherubimon, it was just a symbol, and the main power was still in the hands of the humanoids.
Therefore, the Dragon Beast type of Digimon in this world is not developed, and there has never been a Holy Knight type Digimon. Moreover, there is no Yggdrasil, let alone Royal Knights.
"Roar……"
The Dynasmon's eyes narrowed, revealing a terrifying, beast-like expression.
The Dynasmon, possessing the abilities of a dragon and boasting unparalleled strength and destructive power among the Royal Knights, has quite a temper.
How could one not be angry after being verbally humiliated by the Light Beast?
Even from a distance of a thousand meters, Lucemon could sense the destructive energy within Dynasmon. If this energy were to erupt, it was uncertain whether it could break the seal on his body…
Seeing is believing.
"Come on, unleash your power!"
Although the Light Beast had no expression, its pupils were filled with a eager light.
Swordmon waved to silence Dynasmon, but Dynasmon ultimately did not erupt, which disappointed Lucemon.
Sword Emperor Beast smiled and said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of us. The important thing is that, Lord Light Beast, we can cooperate."
The Light Beast narrowed its eyes.
After a long while, and no one knows what they discussed, the two royal knights left the dark area.
Dynasmon asked, puzzled, "SwordEmperormon, why are you cooperating with Lucemon?"
Swordmon spread its arms and looked up at the sky, saying, "We are free now, Dynasmon. This is another world. Yggdrasil has no jurisdiction over this place. We have plenty of time to do what we want, such as going to the human world."
Dynasmon nodded and laughed, "Alright, let's go to the human world together then."
The center of the dark area.
The Light Beast was also happy to have received two new chess pieces.
After being sealed away, he turned Cherubimon, one of the three archangels, against him. He had originally placed a beast-type angel among the three archangels to stabilize the hearts of beast-type Digimon, but unexpectedly, it later became a pawn in his comeback.
However, thousands of years have passed, and the Light Beast is still sealed in the Dark Area.
"Beast-type Digimon are indeed useless."
Lucemon was still a little uneasy thinking about the two Royal Knights. Gazing into the distance, he spotted an inconspicuous Digimon egg outside his range of power.
That was Salubimon's Digi-Egg. After being scanned by Takuya Kanbara, Salubimon's Digi-Egg fell into the dark area, but unexpectedly rolled to the center.
"call--"
Lucemon blew a breath towards the Digimon egg, using a simple principle of reflection to propel the Digimon egg into an area within Lucemon's reach through the airflow propelled by the boulder.
New chess piece, got it!
……
Light and darkness, mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, are natural brothers.
The characteristics of light and darkness are vividly embodied in Genji Minamoto and Teruichi Kimura.
"The ratio of the flow of time in the human world to that in the digital world is 1:1440."
Before mentioning Kouichi Kimura's whereabouts, Angewomon first explained the concept of time flow in the Digital World, which left everyone somewhat confused.
"In other words, one minute in the human world is equivalent to one day in the digital world."
The speaker was Shibayama Junpei. Although he was fat and had little presence before, he was also a science whiz and had basic mental arithmetic skills.
"so what?"
Yuan Huier frowned. He wasn't stupid, but he was so concerned that he didn't react for a moment.
Junpei Shibayama, with his clear perspective as an outsider, explained: "If your brother came to the Digital World five years ago in human time, then it's equivalent to him having been in the Digital World for 7200 years."
7200! ?
What does this mean? This period of time is enough for human civilization to progress from the Neolithic Age to the Industrial Age.
Yuan Hui stood there, stunned.
Izumi Orimoto exclaimed in surprise, "Can a person live that long?"
Humans are lucky and can only live for a little over a hundred years, but if they are unlucky, they can live for many years.
As for how long a person can live in the digital world, no one has conducted experiments, and the answer is unknown.
Angewomon didn't know how long humans could live in the Digital World; all she knew was—
"You can become a Digimon."
Digimon also experience birth, aging, sickness, and death, but unlike humans, they are extraordinary beings from another world with incredible power. Powerful Digimon can live indefinitely.
The Ten Warriors are among this powerful group.
Just like in cultivation novels, the weak suffer the signs of decay and death, while the strong live forever.
Genji finally realized what was happening and asked, "You mean Kouichi turned into a Digimon?"
Angewomon nodded and said, "Yes, Koichi Kimura's soul was captured by Cherubimon and used as material for experimenting with the Spirit of Dark Warriors. He successfully fused with the Spirit of Dark Warriors and became an evil... Dark Warrior."
She deliberately paused before mentioning the Dark Warrior in the last half of her sentence.
The Dark Warrior is not evil; it was Cherubimon who made him evil.
"There are evil ones among the Ten Warriors?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't the Ten Warriors heroes who saved the Digital World in ancient times?"
Angewomon explained, "Five warriors were corrupted by Cherubimon's power and became its accomplices, destroying the Digital World for it."
"Keiichi, Keiichi..." Genkiji covered his head, feeling a little dizzy.
Although he didn't receive much information, each piece of it was a blow to him.
Chapter 54, Habit Habit
Seeing this, Angewomon said, "Let's rest for a day and set off again tomorrow."
Seeing that Genji's condition was not suitable for traveling, everyone agreed to Angewomon's suggestion.
They had stayed at Flame Terminator for ten days and were quite familiar with the environment. After the Mudmon, which was the fusion evolution of Bogumon, was killed by Wolfmon, there were many empty rooms at Flame Terminator, so they arranged two rooms for Takuya Kanbara and Angewomon.
Night falls.
At dinner, Takuya Kambara cooked a meal for everyone because the food here was so bad and it was a waste of the natural ingredients.
"You can actually cook?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Not only did Takuya Kambara cook, he also used the local specialty honey from Breeze Village to make a pot of soup for everyone.
This nectar is sweet but not cloying, refreshing and thirst-quenching. It tastes even better when boiled into a soup. Taking a sip makes you feel like you are in nature, with a gentle breeze on your face and birds singing and flowers blooming.
Even Yuan Hui'er, who had a worried expression, relaxed his brows after drinking.
Takuya Kambara murmured, "Just as my teacher said, cooking can bring happiness."
Food is the most important thing for people, and eating is the most direct manifestation of happiness.
A person can live without love, can live without wealth, but cannot live without food.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone exchanged glances and returned to their respective rooms.
No one sleeps tonight.
Because Izumi Orimoto, Junpei Shibayama, and Tomoki Himi had just received the Fighter Spirit, they were quite excited and kept trying to evolve and regress in the room, trying out various elegant, handsome, and cool transformation poses.
Genji sat on the windowsill, gazing at the star-studded night sky, thinking of Kimura Teruichi who was far away.
Although he first learned that Kimura Teruichi was his older brother when Kimura Teruichi had already become a vegetable, the two brothers never spoke a word to each other, yet their bond was inexplicably deep.
Perhaps it's because they are twins, or perhaps it's due to other factors.
On the Dark Continent, a dark beast wanders alone in the shadows, gazing at the horizon as if sensing something.
"Kouji..."
A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Dark Beast has existed on the Dark Continent for 7200 years. Apart from completing the tasks assigned by Cherubimon, he has been wandering aimlessly around the Dark Continent.
He was always alone, solitary yet powerful, and even the other four evil warriors kept their distance from him.
Cherubimon is a laid-back leader who basically manages his subordinates in a semi-laissez-faire manner. At some point, Darkmon's humanity has been restored, and he has a period of lucidity every day.
At first it was only a few seconds, then a hundred years later it became a few minutes, and a thousand years later it became more than ten minutes.
Now, he can stay awake for about an hour each day.
What can you do in just one hour a day?
They couldn't even leave the Dark Continent.
Teruichi Kimura originally wanted to escape, but after failing time and time again, he gave up.
At first, he didn't know how to use his waking hours. He would just occasionally space out, miss his mother who was far away in another world, and think about Genji.
Upon reflection...
I'm so angry!
"That guy, Kouji, was born into a wealthy family with a father and a stepmother, while I only have a poor family and a mother. Why? Why?"
They are twin brothers, so why are their fates so different?
One lives in the light, the other in the darkness.
The dark beast grew angrier and angrier the more it thought about it, and its brain trembled!
This emotion resonated with the spirit of the evil Dark Warrior, so he grew stronger and stronger.
The more powerful he became, the more he succumbed to the evil dark forces.
Fortunately, he wasn't always thinking about Genji when he was sober. Occasionally, he would do other things, such as going to the Cherubimon's library to read books.
Cherubimon was once a Cherubim-type Digimon who possessed a wealth of knowledge, and the library contained all kinds of knowledge. However, after turning evil, he hasn't been to the library for a long time.
So the library became the dark beast's little world, and reading became the only thing that could bring him pleasure in this dull dark continent.
……
One night without words, the next day.
Izumi Orimoto, Junpei Shibayama, and Tomoki Himi emerged from their respective rooms, still looking sleepy. They had been studying Fighter Spirit all night and were so excited that they hadn't slept well.
"Why are you only getting up now? Look at Takuya and Kouji."
Bogomon complained to the three of them like a busybody.
The three of them gave an awkward smile.
Genji started exercising early in the morning. He also studied martial arts and happened to meet the famous fighting prodigy, Takuya Kanbara. It would be good if he could learn a move or two from him.
Takuya Kambara didn't mind. Kouji Minamoto had been training since he was a child and had a good foundation. With just a few simple pointers, he made rapid progress.
