Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

霍!

Huangfu Weilai finally understood how Yagami Taichi's Omegamon came to be.

Da...da...

Suddenly, there was a noise behind Huangfu Weilai. Without turning his head, he said, "It's not time for the shift change yet, so you can't sleep?"

"Hmm," the figure behind him nodded.

Then, the person sat down next to Huangfu Weilai; it was none other than Yagami Taichi.

"Still can't figure it out?" Huangfu Weilai's voice came softly.

Upon hearing this, Taichi Yagami shook his head, glanced at BlackAgumon behind him, ignoring the pleading look in its eyes, and whispered, "Do you think it's possible to make BlackAgumon Hikari's partner?"

Huangfu Weilai paused in her typing, turned to look at Yagami Taichi, a huge question mark appearing above her head. "Is this even possible?"

That makes sense, though. Of the four, only Hikari Yagami doesn't have a partner Digimon. Now that she's found her former partner Koromon, now known as BlackAgumon, it's not surprising that Taichi Yagami has this idea to protect his sister.

However, in order to prevent the Omegamon from emerging in the future, Huangfu Future needs to find a way to prevent this possibility from arising.

Coincidentally, Black Agumon itself gave Huangfu Future the biggest reason.

"It's impossible, because BlackAgumon is the darkness that opposes Hikari's Crest of Light. Other Chosen Children might have this possibility, but not Hikari."

Upon hearing this, Yagami Taichi fell silent.

"Furthermore, if you make BlackAgumon Hikari's partner Digimon, what about Hikari's original partner Digimon?"

"..." Taichi Yagami remained silent.

"The other party may just be like Black Agumon, temporarily separated from Hikari, but you can't ignore her existence."

"Therefore, Taichi, you will be BlackAgumon's partner." Huangfu Future revealed his true intentions and handed the second Divine Plan to Yagami Taichi.

Looking at the second Sacred Plan in his hand, Yagami Taichi's face showed an expression of no surprise. After all, if Huangfu Future could modify the Sacred Plan, then Yagami Taichi would not be surprised if he could create a new one.

"Me?" Yagami Taichi stared blankly at the Divine Plan, deep in thought.

Huangfu Weilai did not urge him to do so.

After all, BlackAgumon was a Digimon raised by the Yagami siblings, so it wouldn't matter much which one of them became its partner.

However, from the perspective of maximizing benefits, being Taichi Yagami's partner is definitely the best option.

In particular, Agumon has a very good attitude towards Black Agumon, a fellow Agumon. After learning about Black Agumon's past, his favorability towards Black Agumon has increased even more.

The only thing missing is becoming the other person's older brother (life mentor).

The sense of déjà vu that Huangfu felt in the future was the scene in the second part where Agumon encountered BlackWarGreymon.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to worry about Agumon and BlackAgumon getting along.

Conversely, if Gatomon and BlackAgumon were to get along... it's hard to say what the outcome would be.

"I'll do it! I'll definitely protect BlackAgumon this time!"

Taichi Yagami suddenly gripped the second Divine Plan, and the Divine Plan immediately responded, linking with Black Agumon. Its white surface turned red, similar to Sora Takenouchi's Divine Plan, except that the Divine Plan in Taichi Yagami's hand was a deeper red, representing the crimson of Taichi Yagami's burning heart!

Chapter 88 Taichi Yagami's Dream

With Taichi Yagami's unwavering resolve, the DigiWare turned crimson before reverting to its original white form. From then on, Taichi Yagami possessed two DigiWare and partner Digimon.

On the other side, the moment Taichi Yagami completed the link, Black Agumon, which was being held in Hikaru Yagami's arms, suddenly opened its eyes and glanced at Taichi Yagami's back.

Then, he closed his eyes to rest again.

However, this time, he felt much less uneasy. It seemed that he no longer had to worry or be afraid, and this brief time together was just like the beautiful dream he had been having.

Taichi Yagami was lost in thought, staring at the Divine Plan in his hand, unaware of Black Agumon's movements.

However, Huangfu Weilai noticed this action, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, Huangfu Weilai felt somewhat sorry for BlackAgumon's fate.

Putting everything else aside, that ancient species' data bloodline—that's something only exceptionally gifted and atavistic Digimon can possess.

It can be said that Huangfu Future initially only possessed a portion of the ancient species' data, yet he obtained the initial power of authority, which enabled him to fully grow based on this foundation.

The strength of Ancient Digimon does not lie in their innate physical or mental prowess, nor in their talent and ability to fight against opponents of higher levels.

Rather, it is the power of authority hidden within their bodies that is the true reason why ancient species are so rare and powerful.

Because they are naturally more likely than normal Digimon to become the top powerhouses in the first tier of the Digital World.

Therefore, they are rare and powerful!

Of course, even among Ancient Digimon, only a very small minority can utilize the power of authority in the initial stages. After all, even a powerful Digimon like Jesmon only fully unleashed the hidden power of authority within its body after evolving to Ultimate level.

Therefore, people like Huangfu Weilai, who only possess a portion of the ancient bloodline and have awakened the power of authority, are truly freaks.

"Hey, future..." In the quiet atmosphere, Yagami Taichi suddenly spoke up, "What is your purpose in staying in the Digital World?"

Before Huangfu Weilai could speak, Yagami Taichi began to say, "Initially, my goal was very simple: to return from the Digital World to the Real World. But after I returned, I realized that my goal was not just to return to the Real World."

"On this journey in the Digital World, my former companions and I have seen many things, encountered Digimon that helped us, and also encountered Digimon that were our enemies and did evil."

"Although my judgment is somewhat one-sided, but... Constancy may not be a good person, but its enemies are definitely bad people!"

Recalling the actions of Devimon and Etemon in harming and controlling other Digimon for his own sake, Taichi Yagami murmured his thoughts.

"...There is no distinction between good and bad people, it's more a matter of different perspectives." Huangfu Weilai paused for a moment, not answering Yagami Taichi's first question, but instead stating his own views.

"The most orthodox way for a Digimon to evolve is to devour the data of other Digimon, accumulate data, and eventually reach a threshold. If it breaks through, it will successfully evolve; if it fails, it will perish."

"They fight each other for survival and evolution. This is the reality of the digital world. It's not just because of constancy and the apocalypse, but also because the rules of the digital world itself are like this. If you want to climb up, you can only achieve your own success by plundering other people's data."

"Therefore, the Divine Project, which is a tool that links humans and Digimon, was never the orthodox path for Digimon from the beginning."

Huangfu Future spoke softly about the true nature of the Digital World: even with his power, he could not change it, nor did he want to.

Because—existence is its own justification.

With the power of Huangfu Future's Super Ultimate form, he can be said to be the strongest in the main Digital World, and the entire world can revolve according to his will.

But why didn't he change the law of the digital world, where the strong prey on the weak and devour data?

It's because it's impossible!

For Digimon, data is everything that makes up their bodies, and it is also their 'food'.

Even if 'food' to replace data appears, such as the Digital Wheel, can it satisfy the essential requirement of Digimon being rooted in the Digital Core?

The answer is no!

Food is merely to satisfy the Digimon's needs and prevent them from experiencing hunger.

However, this cannot satisfy the Digimon's desire to evolve, because only by consuming the data of their own kind can they extract enough experience to evolve.

Therefore, the battles between Digimon are an indispensable main theme.

No matter who leads the development of the digital world, this is an absolute fact that cannot be changed.

Huangfu Future's protection of the Digital World is to safeguard the overall framework of the environment, preventing it from becoming unbalanced due to excessive killing. He doesn't concern himself with the normal conflicts between Digimon.

This is similar to the human world, where the total amount of resources is basically on a single sphere. But if you want to obtain more resources, you can only seize other people's resources or create resources that others don't have.

But no matter what you do, conflict is inevitable.

From small-scale resource competition between individuals to large-scale competition between nations.

In essence, there is not much difference between the real world and the digital world.

However, the resources for the Digimon are shared with the Digimon themselves, and it's all out in the open—the winner takes all!

"Is that so..." Yagami Taichi replied, seemingly just going through the motions with Huangfu Future's words. His true thoughts... or rather, he hadn't yet come to a true conclusion.

Huangfu Weilai remained silent after that.

After all, it feels like going too far to suddenly bring up the essence of the digital world with an elementary school student.

No matter how mature or experienced Taichi Yagami is, he is still very immature.

Not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually.

Silence has become the dominant theme between them now.

But they didn't feel awkward at all; instead, they had a tacit understanding and maintained the quiet atmosphere.

Although the night appeared unchanged, Huangfu Weilai knew that a considerable amount of time had passed.

If it were a normal shift work, the shift should be changing by now.

However, Huangfu Weilai didn't remind him, since Yagami Taichi was sitting right next to him, deep in thought.

Considering that Yagami Taichi basically hasn't had any rest, Huangfu Weilai thinks it's best to just stay up all night.

As a 'human' of ultimate nature, even if my combat power is not strong now, I am not someone that a human elementary school student can bully.

Not sleeping for one night is nothing to Huangfu Weilai, but for Yagami Taichi, the impact is not only minimal, but also significant.

Just as Huangfu Future wanted to break this comfortable peace and let Yagami Taichi rest.

Taichi Yagami spoke up first.

These words were the answer that Taichi Yagami had come up with after thinking about it for a long time.

“In the future, you said that this kind of Digimon plan that can connect the minds of humans and Digimon is not actually the orthodox path of Digimon. Does that mean that... partner Digimon evolving with the help of human mental power is, in the eyes of some Digimon, a heretical existence?” Taichi Yagami held a Digimon plan in each hand, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the textured surface of the Digimon plan.

"Yes," Huangfu Weilai affirmed, noting that this was a precedent.

In another Digital World, Suzakumon is a prime example of this. Although he later accepted the evolutionary methods of the Tamers and their partner Digimon, it's hard to say whether this was due to the dire situation of Deirdremon or a genuine recognition of the Tamers' strength.

In short, judging solely from the method of evolution, Huangfu Future felt that the Vermilion Bird Beast fundamentally disapproved of this form of evolution.

So, why did Taichi Yagami bring up this topic at this moment?

"But what is the huge difference between Digimon that evolve using human mental power and those that evolve through the normal path?" Taichi Yagami asked, and before Miku Huangfu could answer, he said, "The answer is durability!"

Recalling the top-tier Digimon he had encountered, he said:

"Digimon that evolve through the normal path reach their ultimate form step by step, so they can maintain their ultimate form after reaching the end. Digimon that evolve through mental power are no less powerful than the Digimon mentioned above in terms of combat strength and other aspects, but there is only one thing... that is, endurance. After losing human mental power, Digimon will fall back to their original state."

"Just looking at this point, Digimon that use 'shortcuts' are indeed inferior to orthodox Digimon, but... everything leaves a trace!"

"Now that they've already reached the top, wouldn't these Digimon that took the 'shortcut' be more likely to evolve into Ultimate level, or even evolve into Ultimate level with less effort?"

As he spoke, Yagami Taichi looked intently at Huangfu Weilai, seemingly wanting a clear answer from his friend.

"...I don't know, but I guess so!" Huangfu Weilai thought for a moment, but instead of giving an ambiguous answer, he gave his own guess.

Upon hearing this, Taichi Yagami smiled with relief. "If the number of these heretical Digimon surpasses that of the orthodox Digimon, will the rules of survival in the Digital World change as a result?"

Immediately, Huangfu Weilai's eyes widened in surprise, and Hakumon, who had been silently diving nearby, also subconsciously opened his eyes, which had been feigning sleep.

Both of them looked at Yagami Taichi with expressions of disbelief.

Because his words are equivalent to making heretical Digimon, that is, the combination of a Chosen Child and a Partner Digimon, greater than a Digimon without a Partner Digimon.

This is equivalent to requiring every Digimon in the Digital World to have a human partner...

In Huangfu Weilai's view, this was simply impossible.

But Huangfu Weilai suppressed his surprise, putting aside whether the action was feasible, and instead focused on the outcome.

Believe it or not, it might actually happen.

Once each Digimon has a human partner, it becomes very difficult for them to absorb the Digimon's own data for evolution.

Putting aside human opinions, the fact that the human mind alone can enable Digimon to evolve is enough to prevent them from risking their lives in the same way as before.

Even though different humans have different aptitudes in mental power, the same is true for Digimon.

Therefore, if the future world were truly a combination of Digimon and human tamers, it would indeed effectively suppress the orthodox path and create a completely new possibility.

The more Huangfu Weilai thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. If he could really accomplish this feat and achieve the fusion and interdependence of the two worlds, perhaps Pokémon... was the ultimate direction for this world.

Therefore, Huangfu Weilai also shared all the things he had been thinking about.

This made Yagami Taichi even more determined in his thoughts.

"It's decided, I'm going to be a diplomat! I'll help both worlds develop into the way I dream of them!" At this moment, Taichi Yagami's will was stronger than ever before. "I am not the one who controls the changes in these two worlds, but I am the one who drives them and the one who protects them."

"Whether human or Digimon, anyone who hinders the development of both worlds is my enemy!"
