Takuya Kanbara has decided to stop being human.

Now that he saw the Fire God Beast again, he was filled with rage. Without thinking twice, he got up, roared, and rushed towards the Fire God Beast, punching it down.

"You think you can kill me? You're still 20,000 years away." The Fire God Beast simply raised its hand, grabbed Saint's fist, and pushed it to the side. Taking advantage of Saint's loss of balance and falling to the side, it struck Saint's nape with a palm strike.

thump~

Just like in anime, hitting someone on the back of the neck will knock them out, Seiya's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.

This move requires a very high level of control over the force applied. Too much force will break the brainstem, while too little force will not be enough to knock the person unconscious. Unless you are a master, you should never try it.

"Would you two like to give it a try too?"

The Vulcan Beast looked at Ivan and Nanami, and the two felt a chill run down their spines, standing rooted to the spot and not daring to move.

The wind is blowing!

The situation is not good, let's back down first.

Soon after, a four-winged angel flew in, followed by a van. From the van emerged three people and three beasts: Satsuma Rentaro, Shirakawa Megumi, and [unclear - possibly a character or animal]. [The text then abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated anecdote about a four-winged angel and a van, followed by a description of a four-winged angel and a van.]

Jeanne d'Arc landed next to Vulcan and nodded at him.

"My teacher once said that conspiracies are like vampires; they will vanish into thin air when exposed to sunlight."

The Fire God Beast began by reciting an opening speech to set the mood, and everyone clearly realized what was going on, their faces turning serious.

"As you all know, the thinning of the spacetime barrier between the human world and the digital world is not caused by nature, but by human destruction."

Satsuma Rentaro asked directly, "Who caused this?"

“Kurata Akihiro,” Vulcanmon said more directly, “Ten years ago, when he followed Dr. Daimon into the Digital World, he was frightened by Digimon, which is one of the reasons why he later became hostile towards Digimon.”

Upon hearing the name Daimon Hideaki, the three members of the Daimon family were initially taken aback.

"dad?"

The big gate blinked and looked questioningly at its mother, Little Lily.

Sayuri nodded. As Daimon Hideaki's wife, she did know some inside information, but she had not revealed it because the children were still young.

"Over the years, Kurata has frequently used Time-Space Vibration Bombs to enter the Digital World. Time-Space Vibration Bombs cause irreversible damage to the Time-Space Barrier, which is the main reason why the Time-Space Barrier is thinning and why Digimon have been invading the human world in recent years."

"Kurata..."

Satsuma Rentaro narrowed his eyes.

The others didn't recognize Kurata, so their reaction wasn't very strong.

At this moment, Mercurymon said, "So, is this person also related to those who kill Digimon in the Digital World?"

It turns out that in recent years, humans have frequently invaded the Digital World, each time bringing bloodshed. Digimon that die can leave behind Digi-Eggs to be reborn, but after being killed by human weapons, not even Digi-Eggs are left.

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked.

The spacetime barrier is, after all, an inanimate object. Although Kurata's actions thinned the spacetime barrier, causing Digimon to mistakenly enter the human world and resulting in countless losses, the anger of the people was limited.

Slaughtering Digimon is utterly heinous and enraging.

"Yes."

Vulcanmon nodded and continued, "Because Kurata discovered a special Digimon egg in the Digital World, the Digimon egg of Belphemon, one of the Seven Great Demon Lords. He killed Digimon to collect data, all in order to revive Belphemon."

"What did you say? Belphemon!"

The others had no idea what Belphemon was, but Mercurymon and Kutsubomon exclaimed in surprise.

One of them was one of the Twelve Gods, and the other was one of the Royal Knights; they were naturally aware of the terrifying nature of Belphemon.

"Are you sure?"

The fox-like beast asked seriously, not because he didn't believe it, but because the matter was of great importance and he had to be cautious.

Jeannemon answered for Vulcanmon: "This is information I obtained after hacking into Kurata's database. You can ask those three (Digimon Hunters). As Kurata's subordinates, they should know some inside information."

Everyone looked at the Digimon Hunter trio, and Mercurymon looked at them as well.

Saint was still unconscious.

Ivan was a dedicated mercenary with excellent professional ethics, and he chose to remain silent.

Finally, there's Nanami.

This genius girl had no loyalty to Kurata. Joining Digimon Hunter was purely a spur-of-the-moment decision because the life of a genius and a rich person was too boring, so she wanted to find some fun and enjoy herself.

Now, the first thing to consider is one's personal safety.

A thoughtful look flashed in her beautiful purple eyes. In the end, she chose to protect herself and said decisively, "It's like this. Although I don't know what Belphemon is, Kurata does have a secret he's keeping from us. I think that's Belphemon."

The fox-like beast stared at Nanami, and upon hearing that Nanami's heart rate did not change abnormally, it said, "There's no hint of lying."

Everyone fell silent; the matter was essentially confirmed.

Unexpectedly, humans actually slaughtered Digimon. Everyone felt ashamed and guilty, and dared not look Mercurymon in the eye.

For a moment, an eerily quiet atmosphere enveloped the scene.

"It seems the matter is now clear. I hope you humans can give us an explanation as soon as possible."

Mercurymon broke the silence by speaking first. After speaking, he pointed to the sky, opened a door to the Digital World, and flew in with Falconmon.

Just then, a group of people dressed as special forces arrived with a group of purple mechanical Digimon. The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in a white lab coat and dressed as a doctor—Akihiro Kurata.

"Did they leave?" Kurata asked with a regretful expression.

After all, that's an Ultimate-level Digimon; one of them is equivalent to more than a dozen Perfect-level ones.

"Kurata!" Satsuma Rentaro shouted sharply.

Kurata's crimes had reached the point of incurring the wrath of both heaven and man. Even the usually composed Satsuma Rentaro wished he could punch that face flat.

But he was an adult after all and did not act impulsively.

"Satsuma, it's been a long time," Kurata said, feigning politeness.

Satsuma Rentaro said with a stern face, "I will report what you did to my superiors."

Kurata smiled confidently: "Do as you please."

This nonchalant attitude made Satsuma Rentaro's heart tighten.

Does he have something to rely on?

"Hehehe..." Kurata grinned smugly, his expression very smug. "Since everyone knows, there's no need for me to hide it anymore. Do you think I can develop bio-engineered Digimon and manufacture Digimon weapons like Gizmon by myself? No matter how smart I am, without resources I'm nothing."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Kurata continued, "And Belphemon, do you really think I can keep this secret by myself? Several years ago, I reported Belphemon to the authorities with the note 'a biological weapon for attacking the Digital World.' All my plans, including the resurrection of Belphemon, were approved by my superiors."

He looked at Satsuma Rentaro, raised his thumb and forefinger and gestured: "Satsuma-kun, you know best. The higher-ups are actually more enthusiastic about destroying the Digital World than I am. I'm just a pawn in their game. It's just that I have some key technologies. If I fall, they won't be able to save themselves either."

The cold, hard truth sent chills down everyone's spines.

"You think defeating a few Digimon will bring world peace? Wrong! You think overthrowing me will allow us to coexist peacefully with the Digital World? Wrong! You think reporting me to your superiors will land me in jail? Wrong!"

Kurata mocked everyone with a series of three denials.

I love seeing you hate me but are powerless to do anything about it!

Just a little more, just a little more helplessness!

"Jiejiejiejie——!"

Bang!

Suddenly, a fist landed on Kurata's face, sending him flying far away.

Everyone was startled.

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."

Daimon looked indifferent. He was a failure in both politics and economics, so he really couldn't understand the point of Kurata's long rambling.

For villains like this, the first thing to do, without saying anything else, is to beat them up.

This is the way of thinking of Da Men Da.

It was extremely reckless, but everyone watching felt secretly pleased and satisfied.

Hit him! Hit him!

Kurata braced himself with one hand on the ground and the other on his burning face, staring at Daimon Dai, who had made him look so disheveled, his eyes filled with resentment: "Daimon Daimon!"

The man swung his hand away from the man who had hit him and said indifferently, "Ah, I'm here."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: He Will Come Whenever I Want To

Kurata glared at Daimon, then suddenly laughed: "Daimon...you and your son are equally detestable."

He used to hate Daimon Ying, but now there's another person—Daimon Dai—because both father and son have hit him.

He got up from the ground and waved for his men to take the Digimon Hunter trio away.

Since he failed to hunt Mercurymon, he had to compensate for the lack of quality with quantity. In other words, he had to go to the Digital World and kill another wave of Digimon.

"You want to run away, Kurata?!"

The gatekeeper roared angrily.

Kurata smiled and said nothing, but gave Tomma a meaningful look before leaving.

"I don't need to say anything more to a bunch of useless people."

Kurata's gaze swept over the group, and he sneered, "You are suspected of crimes against humanity, and that charge hasn't been cleared yet. Now you also know things you shouldn't know. Do you think those people up there will let you off the hook? They're not good at correcting mistakes; they're good at... covering things up."

Satsuma Rentaro's body trembled.

He was so tired. Some humans wanted peaceful coexistence, and some Digimon wanted peaceful coexistence. They traveled back and forth between the two places for this purpose, going through countless hardships, and finally managed to build a little trust and a glimmer of hope.

Why do some people have to stir up trouble?

“Samo…”

The call of the fox spirit interrupted Satsuma Rentaro's thoughts. When he came to his senses, Kurata's men had all left.

Fujieda Yoshino looked at Satsuma Rentaro and asked, "Captain, what should we do next?"

Satsuma Rentaro forced himself to remain calm and said, "We need to give Mercurymon an explanation, so we have to go to the Digital World."

"Leave this to me."

Mao Sui, the gatekeeper, volunteered.

"you……"

Rentaro Satsuma frowned.

"Let him go, there won't be any danger," said the Fire God Beast.

When Daimon Masaru enters the Digital World, BanchoLeomon (Daimon Hideaki) will secretly protect him. As a Digimon that houses a human soul, his combat power is definitely among the top in the Digital World.

To put it bluntly, even if Mercurymon wanted to bypass BanchoLeomon to harm Daimon, it wouldn't be qualified!

"It's not a matter of danger."

Satsuma Rentaro wasn't worried about Daimon's security at all.

Masaru Daimon, who can evolve Agumon into its Ultimate form, is basically safe in the Digital World as long as you are careful.

The question is, does Da Men have the ability to handle this matter well?

Don't hit Mercury again!

Although the fist of the giant gate was no match for Mercurymon, it was still a powerful Ultimate-level monster, and not just anyone could run wild with it.

Thomas stepped forward and said, "Captain, I'll go with Da."

Fujieda Yoshino also said, "I'll go too."

Two men and one woman, what a great combination!

The male lead is responsible for being passionate, the second male lead is responsible for being witty, and the remaining woman is responsible for making the atmosphere less gay.

"Toma, please."

Seeing that Toma had also joined, Satsuma Rentaro felt much more at ease. As the brains of DATS, he trusted Toma completely.
