Takuya Kanbara has decided to stop being human.

Page 102

That's definitely something he would do.

Takuya Kanbara continued, "Ten years later, I have controlled the human world and the digital world. I have eliminated all enemies, but I am not satisfied with this. Although I have surpassed everyone, I have lost my Digimon body. So I have returned to the present. I want to take back my body and create a more perfect future."

These words struck a chord with the soul of the Light Beast.

He was fired up by what he was saying, but he remained expressionless on the surface: "Since you've come to me, it means your body has already been destroyed by them."

“Yes.” Takuya Kanbara turned his back. “Humans have limits. This body is too fragile and has greatly weakened my intelligence and strength. To surpass my peak, I must get back my original body.”

The Light Beast's soul exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be? The human body should have no limits."

Takuya Kambara sneered, "That's just your guess at this stage. Earth's creatures can only evolve through heredity, they can't edit themselves, they can't evolve on their own. Their lifespan is very short, and their limits are far lower than you imagine."

"But why can Takuya Kanbara..." The Light Beast's soul was puzzled, but suddenly he understood.

Takuya Kambara provided the answer for him: "The one without limits is Takuya Kambara, not this body."

Upon hearing this, the Light Beast's soul understood why its "future self" wanted to reclaim its original body. It seemed that although it possessed invincible power, it was imprisoned in a human body.

"In that case, let me out. Once I regain my true form, I will help you regain yours," said the soul of the Light Beast.

Of course, Takuya Kanbara wouldn't release the Light Beast. He smiled and said, "I am you. Do you think I came here so that you would help me?"

The Light Beast's soul's expression turned cold: "So you really did come to devour me!"

Takuya Kambara chuckled, hands behind his back, "I knew it. You're just as I thought."

The Light Beast's soul said, "If you can devour me directly, there's no need for further words. Although we share the same soul, our consciousnesses are slightly different. If I don't accept it, the devouring process will inevitably be unsuccessful."

They obtained some useless information, but still haven't found out the whereabouts of the Lust Emblem.

Takuya Kanbara said, "We are one, so why should we care about who devours whom?"

The Light Beast's soul sneered, "Then let me devour you, shall we?"

Takuya Kambara laughed and said, "No, no, no, I am stronger than you. The strong devour the weak, that is the law of nature! You should feel honored that the past me could become a part of me."

This arrogant attitude made the Light Beast's soul nauseous; he never expected that he would actually hate "himself" for being so arrogant.

Indeed, an arrogant person cannot tolerate another arrogant person.

He absolutely refused to be devoured!

But as a soul, he's utterly useless; how could he possibly resist?

Even if the process of devouring is not smooth, it will eventually be devoured.

He needs a bargaining chip to save his life.

Suddenly, an idea came to him. He said, "If you devour me, I will destroy the knowledge of reshaping the body, and you will never be able to get your body back."

Chapter 152, This Demon King is Strong But Extremely Cautious

We are getting closer and closer to our goal.

Takuya Kambara said casually, "The method you know from the past, how could I not know it? Unfortunately, that method has failed and was destroyed by Takuya Kambara and the others."

The Light Beast's soul exclaimed, "Impossible! My command was for it to hide deep within the network world. How could Takuya Kanbara possibly have found it?"

So that's how it is in the online world!

A glint flashed in Takuya Kanbara's eyes. This was already a good result, but he still wanted to continue acting.

Just then, a lump of black mud suddenly rose from the ground. It was the Shadow Beast, which said, "Lord Light Beast, your body was not destroyed, but stolen."

What is this?

Takuya Kambara was startled, but outwardly remained calm as he asked, "Who is it?"

"It was a Demon Lord Digimon disguised as Jeanne d'Arcmon. It transferred its consciousness into your body, and I transmitted the scene to you." Shadowmon said, then clung to Takuya Kanbara's feet.

A second later, it quickly sprang back, retracted its body, and cried out in alarm, "No, you don't have dark power, you're not Lord Light Beast!"

Upon seeing this, the Light Beast's expression changed slightly: "You are Kambara Takuya! No wonder you didn't dare to devour me directly, you are not me at all! How dare you deceive me in this way!"

"But there has to be someone who can tell you who got scammed."

Now that he had been exposed, Takuya Kambara stopped pretending, because once the Light Beast's soul began to doubt him, it would no longer believe that he was the future Light Beast.

"Hahaha—! Light Beast, you idiot, you were just touting ultimate wisdom, but it turns out you're nothing special!" The Yellow Dragon Beast's soul finally understood and burst into laughter.

The Light Beast's soul was gloomy, its lungs pounding with rage.

But as expected of ultimate wisdom, in his anger, he quickly came up with a plan and shouted, "Shadow Beast, run! We can't hand over the Lust Emblem!"

The Shadow Beast was taken aback. It didn't have any emblems, but it didn't say anything. Instinctively, it obeyed the command of the Light Beast's soul and tried to burrow underground to leave.

"Don't leave."

Takuya Kanbara wasn't about to let it go. The Holy Angewomon within him separated and quickly enveloped the Shadow Beast with light energy. The Shadow Beast was ultimately just a lump of dark energy, and it had nowhere to hide under the illumination of the light energy.

"Damn it! You idiot!"

The Light Beast's soul looked furious.

It was as if his trump card had already been discovered.

Upon seeing this, Takuya Kambara indeed had the same thought.

Angewomon thoroughly examined Shadowmon inside and out, then frowned and said, "The Lust Crest isn't here."

"Let's leave here first." Takuya Kanbara glanced at Lucemon's soul, led Angewomon out of the warehouse, released the two guarding Angemon, and briefly explained the whole story to them.

"Takuya, is this how we're going to deal with Shadowmon?" Angewomon asked.

Taku Kambara didn't answer directly, but instead looked at the Shadow Beast.

Perhaps this is a feint, with Shadowmon being a decoy and Lightmon's real plans being made elsewhere.

Perhaps this is a cover-up; Shadowmon is Lucemon's trump card, and Lucemon is creating an opportunity for Shadowmon to escape.

"Oh no! Quick, get to the Light Beast!"

He suddenly realized that if the Shadow Beast could infiltrate this warehouse, it could also infiltrate another warehouse, namely the Yellow Dragon Mine Cage where the Divine Light Beast was imprisoned.

Takuya Kanbara immediately rushed to the Cage of the Yellow Dragon Mine with Angewomon, and sure enough, he found that the two Angemon guards were gone, and the gate of the Cage of the Yellow Dragon Mine was open.

All of this means that Shinbara Lucemon has escaped!

Takuya Kanbara held up three fingers and said, "The trump card that Lucemon released, whose existence is unknown, the future Lucemon that has taken over my body, and the Digimon that stole Lucemon's body."

"How could this happen?" Angewomon staggered a few steps, almost fainting, but was fortunately caught by Takuya Kanbara. "Takuya, what should we do now?"

The pressure on Angewomon right now is self-evident.

Takuya Kanbara's calm demeanor lessened Angewomon's panic considerably. He said, "We are currently facing three threats. We cannot control the first two, but the third..."

Jeanne d'Arc (fake) steals Lucemon's body!

Angewomon, feeling utterly exhausted, sighed, "I thought she was a kind angel, but I never imagined she was a demon lord. I immediately sent people to capture her."

Takuya Kanbara shook his head and said, "She now possesses the body of Lucemon. Once she finds out that we know her identity, she will definitely break up with us. We will naturally be fine, but the tens of thousands of Digimon on Wandering Island will not be spared. Therefore, we cannot act rashly."

Angewomon nodded: "It was my oversight."

The two decided to remain unchanged for the time being, because there were too many and too strong enemies, and there was no foolproof plan at the moment.

After discussing for a while, Takuya Kanbara and Ophanimon pulled away from Molemon's laboratory and decided to get rid of Shadowmon. When they arrived at the laboratory, they found Lucemon's body lying in the equipment.

"This is false."

The two exchanged a glance but ignored the body.

"Molecular beast?"

They searched everywhere for the Molecular Beast, but found no trace of it.

"Could it be that the molecular beast was..."

The two men's expressions changed; the molecular beast was probably in grave danger.

"I am here."

Just then, the voice of the molecular beast came from the computer, "I'm sorry, my body can already be destroyed, so this is the only way I can communicate with you."

"It's okay, it's good that you're alive."

Takuya Kanbara gave Molemon a brief explanation of the deeds of Lucemon, Shadowmon, and Jeannemon (fake), while Molemon also shared everything he had seen.

Molemon pointed to Lucemon's body on the test table and said, "I have studied this fake 'Lucemon' body. It belongs to a Demon Lord type Digimon called 'Mermexmon,' which is good at magic and transformation, but weak in direct combat."

Angewomon asked in confusion, "But he already has Lucemon's body, so why does he need to become Jeannemon?"

Because one of her Champion stages was Jeanne d'Arcmon, she feels a bit strange now that she knows Mermaxmon is disguised as Jeanne d'Arcmon.

Takuya Kanbara said, "Because he needs to eliminate the Ten Warriors to be truly invincible. He will continue to disguise himself as Jeanne d'Arc, get close to the Ten Warriors, and stab them in the back. This is much easier and safer than fighting head-on."

The molecular beast nodded and said, "This demon king is very strong, but he is extremely cautious."

Why don't you contact us?

“The enemy is currently lurking in the shadows, and I need to be even more lurking to deliver a decisive blow at the crucial moment!” Molecular Beast opened its screen, revealing some data. “I have recorded Lucemon’s physical data. Give me some time, and I can develop an anti-Lucemon system.”

Chapter 153, Driving One Tiger to Devour Another, A Three-Way Standoff

Anti-Light Beast System?

Takuya Kanbara couldn't help but ask, "...Is there an Anti-Fighter System?"

The molecular beast said, "If you want it, then you can have it."

He has already obtained the data of the Ten Warriors, and he can create a batch of Anti-Warrior Systems whenever he wants.

"We'll talk about that later; let's deal with the immediate problem first."

What is the problem right now?

There are three enemies, and three problems:

The first question—

Find the Lust Emblem.

Takuya Kanbara said, "The seven crests belong to the seven deadly sins, so they must have something in common with each other. We have already mastered six crests. Can we find their commonalities and create a crest radar?"

The molecular beast thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically, it's feasible."

Angewomon said, "Leave this to me."

We can't put all the work on Molecular Beast. Although her decryption ability isn't as strong as Molecular Beast's, researching the Demon King's Crest and creating the Crest Radar shouldn't be a problem.

The second question—

Deal with Jeanne d'Arc (fake).

She has indeed obtained the power of the Golden Luminosaurus, so she should not be underestimated.

Molecular Beast has devised an anti-Light Beast plan.

"Any other materials needed?" After looking through everything in the lab, none of the items seemed like the kind of weapon that could be used to kill the Light Beast.

The molecular beast replied, "The existing materials are sufficient."

The evolution of Digimon can be summed up in just two words, but it's also quite complex.

Evolution represents the unknown. A Digimon weaker than you could evolve and gain power that surpasses yours at any time. Such examples abound in the Digimon universe.

The most typical example is Omegamon.

When WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon fought against Diaboromon, it was only a stalemate when two against one against a single Diaboromon. Later, Diaboromon replicated itself thousands of times, gaining an absolute advantage and leaving WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon battered and bruised. Just when victory seemed within their grasp, the opponent fused together, and Omegamon arrived.

Then, nothing more.

The material used in Molecular Beast Theory is actually the body of Merumaxmon.

As a Demon Lord type Digimon, Merumexmon's combat power is even inferior to BelialVamdemon. However, with the adjustment of Molemon, Merumexmon can abandon all other attributes and maximize its special attack against Lucemon.

As a Noble Phantasm against Lucemon, its attack power against ordinary Digimon is not as strong as that against Baby Digimon.

But it doesn't matter, the Molecular Beast is aiming for an infinitely large effect on Lucemon!

Next is the third question—

How to defeat Shinbara Lucemon?
