They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 560 The Prototype of the Warrior's Soul

How could this be?
Countless possibilities flashed through his mind in a fraction of a second.

He immediately brought up the background and began to examine the program's code.

The result, however, surprised him even more.

The core code of the program is intact, with not a single line altered. This icon "grew" out of his own program.

why?
Koushiro forced himself to calm down, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table.

His gaze swept over the underlying architecture data of the firewall that he had disassembled and annotated.

Those obscure ancient digital scripts, those ancient protocols describing the rules governing the world's boundaries...

A bold idea flashed through the fog in his mind like lightning.

In its related settings and legends, the Fire God Beast is said to be the "incarnation of a firewall".

It is one of the concrete manifestations of the rules of the digital world, and the will to safeguard the boundaries of the network.

In order to "circumvent the Great Firewall," the program I wrote extensively copied and imitated the original code of the firewall.

In this digital world where information is matter and will can distort reality, his program, in the instant of deep interaction with the firewall, may have already had its very existence "translated" by the fundamental laws of this world.

It became a symbol, a key that granted access to certain "permissions" and "concepts" within the firewall.

Then it took on the form of Vulcan...

It's roughly similar to the rules of the real world; once certain rules are met, a certain phenomenon will inevitably be reproduced.

Having figured this out, Koushiro's eyes lit up with excitement. If he had more time, he would love to study it more thoroughly.

He took one last look at the quietly burning flame icon on the screen, then decisively closed the laptop.

When he stepped out of the temporary laboratory, Taiichi and the others were still undergoing rigorous training under the guidance of the fairy beast in the clearing in the forest.

Upon seeing him, Taiyi was the first to rush out. He didn't even have time to wipe the water droplets from his face before asking,
"Koushiro! How is he?!"

"It's a success. According to the plan, I'll go ahead first..."

Koushiro nodded and said to Taiichi.

Since the vampire beast had been gone for a while, he needed to go to the real world to check on the situation before making any decisions.

"I'm entrusting Jia'er to you..."

Taiyi nodded upon hearing this and made his request.

They need to use the time difference in the digital world to become stronger, so they can't go back for now.

"Believe in me, and believe in yourselves."

I'll be waiting for you in the real world..."

Koushiro nodded in reply.

After a brief farewell, Koushiro didn't linger and immediately took Tentomon to a device that could connect to the internet.

Then open your laptop, connect it to this device, and start running the Vulcan program.

"Are you ready, Beetle Beast?"

"anytime!"

The beetle beast's voice was as reliable as ever.

Koushiro took a deep breath and pressed the final command to start the program.

[Executing cross-border transmission protocol: Vritra-01]

The flame icon on the screen instantly leaped out, transforming into a crimson torrent of data that completely engulfed Izzy and Tentomon.

His body lost all weight and sense of reality in an instant.

This is completely different from the time travel that occurred while the person was unconscious.

This time, he was perfectly conscious.

He could "feel" that every atom that made up his body was disappearing.

Skin, bones, blood... all material concepts are disappearing, replaced by a completely new form of existence.

The mind has entered another dimension.

This feeling is similar to the feeling of him turning into light in the Ultraman world...

He got it.

This is a quantum state.

He is no longer bound by the laws of macroscopic physics, but exists in the form of a probability cloud.

This explains the huge difference in the flow of time between the digital world and the real world.

Due to the time dilation effect, when one's own form of existence approaches the speed of light, time will approach a standstill for that person.

He was traversing the virtual private network channel he had built.

Beyond the passage lies a chaotic and turbulent flow of information, the most primitive and dangerous form of the online world. Soon, he arrived at the first stop on his journey—the firewall.

From the outside, this barrier separating the two worlds appears as an unimaginably vast celestial membrane stretching across the endless void.

But just outside this light membrane, a silent yet magnificent war is unfolding.

Illuminati saw four enormous orbs of light, which occupied the four cardinal directions and shone as brightly as stars.

The Four Divine Beasts!
What are they fighting against?
Illuminati's "gaze" is directed at the common enemy they face—a constantly writhing, expanding, pure "darkness".

Light, data, laws—anything that comes near it is assimilated, decomposed, and reduced to nothingness.

Apocalyptic Beast... or...?

This magnificent scene was truly beyond his imagination.

However, he could not stay.

The data stream he generated was firmly locked onto by the [Vritra-01] protocol, like an arrow shot from a bow, with no way back.

He could only be a passerby, catching a fleeting glimpse of this war between the gods before plunging headlong into the light membrane of that firewall.

The moment I passed through the firewall, it felt like I was bursting out of the deep sea; everything around me had changed.

If the digital world is a vibrant world full of wonders and variables.

Therefore, the human online world is an absolutely rational world.

Countless geometrically shaped data segments divide the space, forming countless nodes, and data is constantly transmitted between these nodes.

He himself became part of the network, constantly transmitting information among these nodes.

He didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps a second, or perhaps a century—before a familiar beacon appeared in his "senses."

The program has reached its destination.

The instruction is materialized and executed.

Suddenly everything went black, and all the bizarre and fantastical scenes faded away.

The next second, the sensation of mass, weight, and breath surged back into his body like a tide.

He smelled the familiar, slightly dusty air, heard the faint sound of traffic outside the window, and heard the hum of his own server fan in his ear.

His eyes shot open.

The familiar room ceiling, the astronomy posters on the wall, the books and parts scattered on the desk... this is his bedroom.

"Oh~ Is this the human world?"

The beetle was perched on the edge of his desk, curiously observing its new surroundings.

"Beetle Beast! How are you feeling?"

Koushiro nodded, then asked.

"It feels... a little strange..."

The beetle-like beast shook its head and tried flapping its elytra.

"I feel so heavy, and the air feels sticky."

It's completely different from the digital world.

"As long as it's okay..."

Koushiro let out a long sigh of relief and then turned on his computer.

The time and date in the bottom right corner indicate that it was only about an hour ago, on the day they went to the digital world.

"Let's go, BeetleBeast. We need to confirm something first."

He didn't even have time to rest or let his parents know he was safe.

He grabbed the keys from the table and ran out with the beetle beast.

He strode out of the room, went downstairs, and stood in front of the familiar door with the nameplate that read "Yagami".

He calmed his somewhat rapid breathing, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

A crisp knock echoed in the quiet corridor.

He waited.

One second, two seconds, five seconds...

Inside the door, all was deathly silent.

There were no footsteps, no response.

Koushiro frowned.

Jia'er...isn't home?
