Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

Jesmon looked up and gazed once more at the floating island, observing the distorted, wrinkled space surrounding it.

This time, he didn't hesitate any longer.

With the red hood up, concealing his body beneath the cloak, Jesmon then enveloped his body in energy for protection before shooting directly into the folded space like a cannonball.

immediately

bang

The distorted, wrinkled space offered no resistance whatsoever, and Jesmon easily broke through.

Jesmon suddenly rushed through the distorted space zone and entered the airspace above the island.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the island was not as desolate as one had imagined.

On the outer side of the island is a land with an earthy yellow base, while on the inner side of its surrounding center is a forest formed by tall trees.

Although the lush green forest in the inner test area looks vibrant, the forest here, or rather the entire interior of the island, is filled with a certain environment.

A lifeless, utterly desolate environment. Like the surface of a dark sea, without waves, only a vast expanse of darkness, calm to the point of death.

and so……

"Is there no intelligent life inside this island?" Jesmon frowned. So, that spatial turbulence really was a programmed defense system?

This left Jesmon, who wanted to cause trouble, feeling like he was punching cotton – unable to exert his strength.

Moreover, what he said was quite interesting.

They are not Digimon, but intelligent life forms.

This means that Jesmon wants to see if it can find a life form that it can communicate with normally.

But it doesn't seem so!

At least, even with Jesmon's current level, after releasing its senses, it still couldn't find anything that met the requirements.

"Perhaps they've hidden themselves." After searching as well, Huangfu Weilai also found nothing, but he proposed a hypothesis.

This immediately put Jesmon into thought.

After all, the possibility is quite high.

Although Jesmon was confident in his and Huangfu's future detection abilities, he couldn't guarantee that the opponent would be even more confident in their own concealment abilities.

That's why they gained nothing.

“But these are all just my guesses. Let’s go straight to the woods,” Huangfu Weilai said. “Aside from the exposed ground and some metal ore, there doesn’t seem to be anything special on the outer side.”

"On the other hand, trees have actually grown over in the woods. Maybe we'll find something else there," Jesmon chimed in.

Having reached the same conclusion, Jesmon immediately set off, ignoring the metal ores that would stop Olegmon, and flew directly towards the forest.

Before long, Jesmon arrived above the forest and looked down.

After staring at each other for a moment, Jesmon and Huangfu Future said at the same time, "There's definitely a problem!"

Jesmon and Huangfu Future exchanged a glance, and Huangfu Future spoke first: "This doesn't seem to be a forest, but rather some kind of weeds that have grown rapidly and covered this inner test area."

Jesmon then spoke up, "But if it were growing haphazardly, we couldn't have missed it. So there are signs of human intervention here. Someone has trimmed these weeds to make them look neat and tidy, and from an aerial view, it looks like a forest."

"As expected, there is intelligent life, and it's very likely a Digimon." Huangfu Future smiled, feeling like she was solving a mystery in an unfamiliar environment. "Let's go, Jesmon."

"Let's see what secrets this place holds."

"Ah."

Jesmon nodded slightly, then flew low towards the area—or rather, the forest—heading towards its center.

They traveled without hindrance until they came across an ancient ruin that exuded the aura of time.

At first glance, the ruins appear to be square, and they also resemble some temples that Huangfu Weilai had seen before.

However, for the sake of convenience, Huangfu Weilai will still refer to this place as the Ruins.

“We…” Jesmon stopped in front of the door, intending to say something before entering with Huangfu Future.

However, Jesmon's instincts, as an Ultimate-level being, warned him, so he decisively retreated and rose into the air.

Sure enough, the next moment at the gate, where Jesmon had been standing, a torrent of blue lightning surged out from the ruins.

Its straight range swept away the trees in front of it in an instant, and the scorched ground along the way emitted a pungent smell of burning.

"Lili-!!!"

After the lightning flashed, a sharp screech came from within the ruins, and the next moment, a golden figure flew out of the ruins' gate.

"So there really are Digimon!" Jesmon chuckled, showing no concern whatsoever for the newly appeared Ultimate-level Digimon.

“Indeed.” Huangfu Weilai smiled the same way as he looked at the somewhat familiar figure and said his name: Cross Beast.

That's right, the golden figure that flew out earlier was the Cross Beast.

You might not be familiar with his Ultimate form, but when it comes to the other party's Perfect form, Parrotmon, there's a lot to say.

At the very least, Taiichi Yagami is definitely very interested in him.

“呖

Crossmon roared, its entire body covered in red light, and then, carrying this energy, it charged straight at Jesmon.

Kaiser Phoenix

"hehe."

Jesmon let out a disdainful laugh in response to Crossmon's attack, and then its main body remained motionless, still hovering in the air.

However, he manipulated the three-body sword spirit outside his body to take action in order to stop and attack the Cross Beast.

This is the skill 【Schwert geist】!

The three-body bright orange sword spirit instantly acted, raising its two blades and charging directly at the crossbow beast's 'Caesar Phoenix'.

boom!

With a violent explosion, the Crossbow Beast successfully neutralized the attack from the Trisolaran Sword Spirit.

After that, the crossbow beast was hung up and beaten.

After all, a single sword spirit, under Jesmon's control, absorbs some of Jesmon's abilities, making it roughly equivalent to an ordinary Ultimate-level monster.

At this moment, with the addition of the other two, the total number of sword spirits is approximately equal to the number of three ultimate forms.

Crossmon was essentially facing an attack from three Ultimate-level monsters, and was repeatedly beaten to death.

After all, Crossmon wasn't a powerful Ultimate-level being; it was just an ordinary Ultimate-level being, with only a long history because it had taken a long time to evolve into an Ultimate-level being.

The experience he gained from this qualification might give him an advantage over his peers, but...

Jesmon is clearly on a different level than Crossmon.

If Jesmon hadn't wanted to extract some information from the other party, Crossmon might already be dead.

Of course, even if Jesmon doesn't kill it outright, it intends to render the opponent incapable of fighting.

Chapter Ninety-Six: The Great Trial (Re-edited to 6,000 words)

Several days have passed since the Restoration Alliance conquered Sumeru City.

Although it initially caused some chaos, thanks to the tireless efforts of the leaders of the Revival Alliance, the situation in Sumeru City quickly stabilized and returned to its former liveliness.

In these past few days, besides maintaining good public order, the most important task for the Revival Alliance has been to prepare for the upcoming grand trial.

Since Nasita envisioned this trial as being on an unprecedented scale, it was essential to prepare thoroughly for it.

Among the various preparatory tasks, the arrest of criminals was carried out from the very beginning, and the public awareness campaign never stopped.

So the only thing worth mentioning is the location of this grand trial.

In response, many members of the Revival Alliance expressed their opinions.

Some people believe that the trial should be held in the Lower East Side because it is closer to the people there.

Some people believe that the trial should be held in a new venue outside Sumeru City, as this would allow for greater public participation.

Some even suggested restarting the virtual terminal for online trials, saving resources while broadcasting the trial live to everyone.

These arguments all had their merits, but Nasita ultimately decided to hold the trial in the square in front of the main gate of the Papal House.

The reason is simple: this place once represented the authority of the old world, and its political significance is incomparable to that of other locations.

As the saying goes, you should get up from where you fall.

The old Mount Sumeru begins to decay and fall from here, while the new Mount Sumeru will begin to be reborn from here.

..

"Down with the reactionary elements of the Theological Seminary!"

"Down with the Great Sage Hazar!"

Down with all exploiters!

Finally, with everything prepared, the grand trial that shook the entire world of Sumeru began.

At this moment, the city of Sumeru was practically deserted, with everyone participating in this historic trial thanks to the propaganda of the Alliance cadres.

People came out of their homes and gathered on both sides of the street, watching the passing prison vans and shouting slogans to punish the wicked.

They had put the Void Terminals back on their ears. Although they did not directly adopt the full live broadcast solution, Narcida still restarted the Void Terminals to announce the trial to the world.

In addition, to help people better participate in the trial, the crimes committed by the relevant criminals are listed one by one in front of each person wearing the Void Terminal.

Among these crimes, apart from crimes like betraying the country, most are actually crimes such as oppressing the people, acting tyrannically, monopolizing privileges, and corruption.

Because national and family affairs are still too distant for ordinary people, but these "small things" that can be seen and touched directly are more likely to resonate with people.

As expected, after witnessing these crimes and reflecting on the injustices they had suffered, the crowd felt even more enraged, and their shouts grew even louder.

People far away, with the help of the virtual terminal, were not as excited as those on-site, but they were still stirred up and their emotions began to rise.

After all, seeing these former powerful figures in such a sorry state is undoubtedly a very satisfying thing for other working-class people, even if they cannot participate directly.

Even considering the experience of people in other regions, Nasita specially arranged a bullet screen function for the void, allowing people far away to vent their anger.

Thus, in this void of the scene, countless words are flying across the screen, expressing the Sumeru people's views on these criminals.

And so, under the angry gaze of all the people of Sumeru, the prison cart carrying the criminals slowly passed through the streets of Sumeru City, heading towards the final trial site.

These once prominent figures are now trembling in fear, locked in open-air cages, and subjected to criticism from the people, all under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers.

Whenever they arrived at a place, the people waiting there would take out various items they had prepared in advance and express their "friendly" greetings to them.

Pebbles, vegetable leaves, eggs—all sorts of things were taken out by the crowd and hurled at these once high-ranking nobles.

Despite the warm welcome from everyone, the criminals were already covered in all sorts of things before they even reached the halfway point of the parade route, leaving them all bruised and battered.

If the Restoration Army hadn't been maintaining order along the roadside, they might have been hit with even sharper objects.

Even so, the soldiers escorting them had to quicken their pace, otherwise it would be bad if they accidentally crushed them to death prematurely.

It's not that I'm worried about so-called "human rights" issues, but rather that they haven't been tried yet, nor have they had time to atone for their crimes. It would be too easy for them to die like this.

Leaning against the railing of the platform in front of Jingshan Palace, looking at the bustling scene of Xumi City, Naxi Da couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"I never expected that so many prison carts would pass through the streets of Sumeru City before the floats even passed by. 33"

Recalling the memories of the past five hundred years, she had dreamed of this scene more than once: the same empty streets, the same bustling scene, the same joyful people, only the things being done were completely different.

But for her at this moment, she preferred this merciless judgment to the beautiful Flower Goddess's birthday celebration.

Because the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival merely symbolizes the birth of a deity, while this trial symbolizes a brand new future for Sumeru.

"But it's time. As a god, I can't be late."

After waiting a little longer and noticing that the parade was nearing its end, Nasita jumped off the railing and began to walk toward the courtroom where the trial would be held.

As a deity of Mount Sumeru, she would naturally not be absent from this grand trial. After the criminals were paraded through the streets, she would go to the scene of the trial.

However, she would not personally participate in the parade before the trial.
