Your end has come!
"It's not certain who will have the last laugh."
Everyone assumed it was a death throes and paid it no mind. The Molten Tyrannomon drew the Dragon Soul Sword from its back and pierced through the Lightmon with a single strike. It then activated its earth power, turning the Lightmon and the Dragon Soul Sword into stone statues.
"I'll smash it."
The male beast in the mimicry of Susanoo raises the Ame-no-Habakiri.
"No need."
The Magnusmon stopped them, explaining the theory of world balance to everyone: "If he dies, an even greater evil will be born. Sealing him is the best option."
The group nodded in understanding. With their power, even if the Light Beast broke free, capturing or sealing it again would not be a problem.
It's better to have known and controllable evil than to create unknown evil.
The Molten Giant Beast then instructed the Mimic Susanoo Beast: "Junpei, retrieve the land data from his body, then seal it up and put it on the moon."
"learn."
The ancient Ten Warriors sealed Lucemon in the heart of the earth, which is also the center of the Dark Area. They used the inward pressure from the Digital World to reinforce the seal. If the Digital World is dismantled, Lucemon can violently break the seal.
However, the current seal is different; it is a petrification seal. Moreover, the Dragon Soul Sword can mobilize the power of any planet's ley lines to reinforce the petrification seal. The Light Beast inside is unable to move anything except its thoughts. As long as no one pulls out the Dragon Soul Sword, the seal will not be broken.
Therefore, it should be placed on the empty moon.
The Digital World in the fourth season has three moons, only the outermost one is inhabited by Digimon, while the other two are small, uninhabited moons.
Mimic Susanoomon took the Lucemon statue back to its mother nest, retrieved the land data from Lucemon's body and returned it to the Digital World, then transported it to the Yellow Moon, blasted a large crater, and buried it inside.
"...After a hard-fought battle, the Ten Warriors finally sealed Lucemon on the yellow moon, and the Digital World was saved. This is the legend of the new Ten Warriors!"
On the school's podium, Pokomon tells the story of the new Ten Warriors to the new Digimon.
The Digimon on stage spoke passionately, while the Digimon below looked completely bewildered.
A young Caprimon asked, "Where are the Ten Warriors now?"
“This student, I’ve already explained it once before.” Pokomon explained patiently, “After the Ten Warriors stabilized the distortion of the Digital World with the Mega Evolution Component, they returned to their homeland.”
"Oh~"
The baby Digimon nodded, and suddenly they heard a shout of "Lunch is served!" from outside the classroom. All the baby Digimon dashed out like lightning.
Bogomon muttered helplessly, "These kids these days care more about lunch than history..."
The Question-and-Answer Beast walked in from outside and complained, "You've told this story a hundred times already; they're tired of hearing it."
Bogomon rolled its eyes and said, "With the memory capacity of these newborn baby Digimon, they don't even remember what they ate yesterday. How can they remember if I don't tell them several times?"
The question-and-answer beast said, "Since there's not enough memory, no matter how many times you explain it, they won't remember it."
Bokomon silently flicked the belt of Questionmon, then pretended nothing had happened, put his hands behind his back, looked out the window, and sighed, "Five years have passed. I wonder how Takuya and the others are doing now."
Five years have passed since the Light Beast was sealed away.
These are not ordinary five years. Because Takuya Kanbara and his group used ten Hyper Evolution Components to stabilize the distortion of the Digital World, time in the Digital World and the Human World has been synchronized.
In other words, five years have passed in the digital world and five years have passed in the human world.
……
"Kamihara Takuya, 21 years old, single, graduated ahead of schedule after completing his credits, and did not look for a job. He is currently unemployed."
"Your information is inaccurate. I have a girlfriend."
Takuya Kambara pointed at the speaker, Shinya Kambara, and corrected him.
Eighteen-year-old Shinya Kanbara had grown into a handsome young man, with a face that resembled Takuya Kanbara by about 80%, except that he was a bit thinner. Hearing his brother's words, he rolled his eyes and said, "The two-dimensional waifu on the computer doesn't count."
Takuya Kanbara emphasized, "Who said that's a two-dimensional waifu? That's real."
Angewomon Warning.
Shinya Kambara chuckled and said, "Then invite her over for a meal. My mother and I both want to meet my sister-in-law; she's not just a virtual picture."
Takuya Kambara said meaningfully, "Your sister-in-law is very busy."
Managing billions of Digimon in the Digital World—how could one not be busy?
Angewomon opened schools all over the world, including the Dark Area, to improve the level of education in the Digital World.
Because the Dark Area causes the most trouble, while other areas mostly have small-scale conflicts, the Digital World will suffer if something happens in the Dark Area.
Upon closer reflection, it might be that they don't have enough homework.
Well, to be precise, even for Digimon in the Dark Zone, if their living conditions are improved, there will be fewer troublemakers and more righteous Dark Digimon. These righteous Dark Digimon can also restrain the evil Digimon.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Angewomon has been busy with this lately, and it's driving her crazy.
As if things weren't bad enough, she heard that some people had recently wandered into the Digital World, and she had to send people back to them.
"Stop talking about that. Are you planning to apply for a computer science major?"
Takuya Kambara changed the subject, but his younger brother's college entrance exam was also a very important matter.
Shinya Kanbara replied matter-of-factly, “Of course, you know how popular computers are right now; half of the people out of ten want to study computer science.”
This is by no means an exaggeration. In fact, in a country like Japan that has already passed its peak of development, even if computer science is in high demand, it is impossible for it to be this popular.
But five years ago, technology around the world seemed to have transformed from bicycles to sports cars, developing at a rapid pace. Things like artificial intelligence and maglev cars, which were once only seen in science fiction novels, began to appear in people's daily lives.
It's not surprising that these things appear in laboratories, but the fact that they've entered the public eye means that these technologies have reached a mature stage.
The changes in the world in recent years have given Takuya Kanbara the feeling of jumping from the last century into the future, a dreamlike sense of traveling through different worlds.
Because of this change, every country is eager to recruit computer talent, and the profession has become increasingly sought after, becoming a dream job for most people.
Although the high-pressure work remains the same, the higher wages have attracted more people to take the job.
Given the nature of capital, wages will have to be reduced in a few years, but that's a matter for later.
"I'd like to introduce you to a friend. Here's his contact information. He's quite knowledgeable about computers." Takuya Kambara handed a slip of paper to Shinya Kambara.
With more people involved, the competition is fierce, so of course he had to help his younger brother.
"Molecular Beast? What a strange username," Shinya Kanbara muttered, looking at the words on the note.
Takuya Kambara smiled slightly.
Shinya Kambara stuffed the note into his pocket and asked, "Anything is fine. When are you going to start working?"
Takuya Kambara waved his hand and said, "It's not that I haven't looked for a job; I'm currently training my skills in order to find one."
Shinya Kanbara rolled his eyes again and said, "With your abilities, you could easily become a chef."
Although my older brother is an incurable chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), his abilities are undeniable. He can be a martial arts coach, a music tutor, and a chef.
Sometimes he wondered, how come he was so ordinary, born to the same parents?
Whenever I wondered about this, my brother would always say something nonsensical, like that it was because I was chosen by fate... or something like that.
For example, right now, Takuya Kanbara said to his younger brother, "The sun shines brightly in all directions, and I can't just develop in one direction."
Otherwise, it wouldn't be the sun, but a flashlight.
After all, they were younger brothers living under the same roof, and Shinya Kanbara already had a built-in translator for chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) quotes in his brain. He knew that what his older brother meant by that sentence was—
I want to be the best in every one of the 360 professions!
He advised, "Brother, there are limits to human capabilities."
Being the best in one field is already one in a hundred, being the best in two fields is one in ten thousand, and as for 360 professions? That's beyond the reach of humankind.
"Your brother has no limits."
Chapter 139, There Was a Beautiful Little Girl~
It was a sunny day, and Takuya Kanbara was having a gathering with his friends at a bubble tea shop.
Why didn't Koizumi come?
"I just called her, and she said she's going to pick up a friend and will be there soon."
"Oh, let's order her drink first."
"Boss, six milk teas, with ice."
Although they all live in Tokyo, they are quite far apart, and due to their studies or work, they don't get together often. Fortunately, the internet technology is advanced, so they haven't lost contact, but they only get together offline once a year.
Over the years, everyone has changed quite a bit.
The one who has changed the most in appearance is Himi Yuki. He is now the tallest among them, despite being the youngest. Next is Shibayama Junpei, who has become more mature.
The changes in others, besides their increased maturity, are mostly in other aspects.
In particular, Teruichi Kimura, thanks to the knowledge he gained in the digital world, skipped grades several times in the past few years, graduated from university early, and was admitted to a graduate program in medicine. His medical knowledge was actually no less than that of a medical doctor, but he lacked clinical experience. Therefore, after entering university, he deliberately slowed down his pace of skipping grades, and thus only passed the graduate entrance exam within five years.
Of course, these topics are no secret to people who frequently connect online.
"Everyone, I've discovered a game."
Himi Yuki took out a mobile phone, the screen of which displayed Chinese, English and Japanese, but the words written in each language represented the same meaning - paradise.
Clearly, this is a game called "Paradise".
"Yuki, you know we don't pay attention to games."
Himi Yuki nodded and said, "I know, but this game is a bit special. It's the world's first VR game, released five years ago. I've been playing it all along, and I only upgraded to a membership yesterday."
Everyone asked curiously, "Isn't membership something you get just by paying money?"
Himi Yuki said, "No, this game requires members to achieve special achievements. Some people say it's about creating your own artificial intelligence, of course, a low-level one."
"Yuki, your computer skills are amazing!" Shibayama Junpei exclaimed in surprise.
As a science student, he was well aware that even basic artificial intelligence was something that ordinary people simply couldn't develop.
"No, that's not it. It's a bit complicated. Let me tell you something else first."
Himi Yuuki blushed slightly and changed the subject, saying, "After I became a member, I entered the game's member forum. There's an urban legend there that says when a player triggers a certain bug, they will enter another world, but will be sent back by the angel administrator on a tram."
This description sounded very familiar to everyone, and they immediately became serious.
"Could it be..."
Himi Yuuki nodded solemnly and said, "According to the descriptions of that world by other people on the forum who have had similar experiences, it is almost the same as the Digital World."
Takuya Kanbara added, "Angewomon did say that over the years, some humans have often wandered into the Digital World, and then the angels have sent them back."
Since Takuya Kanbara had been to the fifth season, where Digimon accidentally entered the human world, this time it's the other way around. He believes that there is simply a gap in the spacetime barrier between the two worlds.
However, it's like a wall; you have to leave an opening so that there can be a door or a window.
An absolutely solid spacetime barrier would completely separate the two worlds, which would be a bad thing for Takuya Kanbara, as it would mean he and Angewomon would be separated forever.
The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can meet once a year, but they can never see each other again.
Therefore, the spacetime barrier is important, but it cannot be completely airtight.
Therefore, he didn't think there was anything wrong with humans accidentally entering the digital world.
Junpei Shibayama analyzed, "If players enter the digital world, then there will be corresponding missing people in the real world. Since the time flow is the same in both worlds, even if the angels send them back as quickly as possible, they will still be missing for at least a dozen hours. Don't their families have any reaction?"
Teruichi Kimura said, "Perhaps their souls have only entered the digital world, just like I did back then, while their bodies remain in the human world, so they were at most in a coma for a dozen hours."
Yuan Hui added, "Sleeping for more than ten hours is the norm for people playing VR games nowadays."
Shibayama Junpei nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Himi Yuuki, with a somber expression, asked mysteriously, "Do you think there might be some big conspiracy?"
Everyone rolled their eyes in unison.
Himi Yuki chuckled.
This conjecture is indeed unrealistic; it's not that it's impossible, but rather that there's no evidence to support it.
"Whether it was a conspiracy or an accident cannot be determined. VR games have only emerged in recent years, and there may be some special characteristics of this type of game that we are unaware of."
After all, most people weren't experts in this area and were rather unfamiliar with it.
Himi Yuuki is just a player, not a programmer or an administrator.
Takuya Kambara thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's just a bug. I'll contact Molecular Beast and ask him to check it out for us."
