Chapter 287 Evolution Limit Lockdown
Daigogamon has been defeated, and now the Chosen Children face...
"Hey everyone, should we run or not?"
Kido asked the question. With two Ultimate-level Digimon at their disposal, and LadyDevimon no longer in this Data Absorption Factory, running away would be an easy matter for them.
"Why run away? If we go outside, will we have hot showers every day, and delicious food to eat every meal?"
However, Meimei's words dispelled everyone's desire to leave.
That's true; going out now means living in the open and exposed to the elements.
Staying in the castle means enjoying top-tier treatment.
Although they are required to be data cows, the process of extracting data does not actually cause them any harm.
Everyone can clearly see which side is good and which side is bad.
"But, my brother..."
"Don't worry, A-Wu, your brother and Tai-Yi are together, they'll definitely be fine."
Suna offered a word of comfort.
"Thank you all for your help. Without you, the books in the library might have been damaged, and the Digimon babies in the nursery might have been harmed."
Broly, dressed as a wizard beast, walked over and thanked the Chosen Children, as if the factory's survival depended entirely on them.
"This is what we should do."
Kido-suke said politely.
"We have two companions outside. Could you help us find them and bring them over?"
Then he asked another question.
"certainly."
They were right behind us, and if the castle hadn't been able to move, we probably would have been caught long ago.
"However, this will take a little time. Hmm, it's getting late. Would you like to come to the cafeteria with me for lunch?"
The chosen children did not refuse. Although evolution is a matter for Digimon, the emotional ups and downs were also quite taxing for them.
"Hey, what kind of soup is this? It looks delicious."
Inside the cafeteria, Daigomon was served as a soup.
After tasting it, the Chosen Children and their Digimon were amazed by the flavor of the soup.
"This is mainland crab soup. The meat of the mainland crab is firm and delicious. After stewing, the flavor is fully infused into the soup. It is one of my favorite dishes."
Broly explained.
Although Kuwagamon is a ferocious Digimon, Broly greatly appreciates its taste.
But today's further evolved form, Mega Gigamon, tastes even better.
Of course, the delicious food also benefited from the Wild Vegetable Beast's excellent cooking skills and the assistance of the data separator provided by the Molecular Beast.
Only by separating the virus data within Daikogamon can the person who drinks the soup or the Digimon be prevented from being corrupted by the virus data within Daikogamon.
The essence was extracted and the dregs were discarded. The soup, simmered at high temperature, was paired with meat cutlets made from the meat in the fried giant claw. Every Digimon present ate to their heart's content.
Broly didn't eat much. He left a portion of Daigomon's food in his personal space for Gatomon. After the Chosen Children and their Digimon had eaten and drunk their fill, he urged them to go to the data extraction room for the afternoon's data extraction.
"Hey, are we going to have our data extracted again?"
The beetle beast was somewhat surprised.
"Of course, your food and lodging here will require you to repay us with evolution data. However, considering that you and Biyomon are already capable of Mega Evolution, we'll reduce the number of times you need to have your evolution data extracted."
Broly said.
"Then I should thank you?"
The Bhikkhu was somewhat indignant.
Despite helping the Digimon here, she still ends up being a data cow herself.
"You're welcome, you deserve it."
Broly waved his hand.
Biyomon: "..."
The data extracted during the super-evolutionary stage is far superior to the evolutionary data extracted during the mature stage, both in terms of quality and quantity.
. . . .
"With the evolution data provided by the Heart Badge and Knowledge Badge, we will soon be able to have our own Garudamon and MegaKabuterimon."
On the Jungle side, there are also Kabuterimon and Birdramon, although the data conversion between different individual Digimon is not 100%.
However, by drawing data from the Ultimate level multiple times, it is possible to forcibly elevate a Champion-level Digimon.
"If I want to evolve into Lilimon, do I need to absorb more evolution data provided by the Crest of Innocence?"
Gatomon, standing behind Molemon, asked.
"Theoretically yes, but since we don't yet have specific data on Lilimon, I can't fully guarantee that you will evolve into Lilimon as long as you absorb the evolution data provided by the Badge of Innocence."
Furthermore, Gatomon, you're currently accumulating Vaccine-type data in the direction of Angewomon, absorbing mostly evolution data provided by Angemon's Crest of Hope. Now you want to switch back and evolve into Lilimon? That's not a good choice.
The molecular beast answered without turning its head, while the evolutionary data provided by the chosen children would be categorized and stored on this side of the inverted pyramid.
This also includes virus data that is sometimes generated in the kitchen and separated by the data separator.
This data is often incorporated into the Dark Evolution Armor, enhancing the dark power within Gatomon's Dark Evolution Armor.
"But I've absorbed so much vaccine data, yet there's absolutely no sign of me evolving into Angewomon. What's going on?"
At this moment, more than three months, almost four months, have passed since the chosen children arrived on the continent of Sand.
During this period, some of the Digimon in the Forest faction successfully evolved into Ultimate-level Digimon after accumulating enough data, but Tailmon, which absorbed the majority of the evolution data, remained in its original form.
Even as Gatomon grows stronger, it can still use its Champion form to easily defeat some ordinary Ultimate-level Digimon.
However, the fact that it did not evolve as expected still made Gatomon somewhat anxious, as it was afraid that it would disappoint Abu.
"The evolution conditions of Archangel-type Digimon are quite demanding. According to the ancient records I consulted, these Digimon often appear in the dark as a virus nemesis."
You have enough data now. The reason you haven't been able to evolve is, in my opinion, because you lack a necessary trigger, just like the partner Digimon of other Chosen Children.
If you're also a partner Digimon, you'll definitely need something to achieve Mega Evolution.
"So what exactly is needed?"
"It's Dilu Beast asking."
"Perhaps it's your undiscovered badge."
"Molecular Beast said."
"What are you talking about?"
Just then, the fairy beast walked in from outside.
"We're talking about badges."
"What badge?"
Fairymon was a little confused. Hadn't they already found all the badges of the Chosen Children?
"My badge."
Dilumon answered.
"Ah, you're not a Digimon chosen by the DigiDestiny, what kind of crest could you possibly have?"
Tailmon: "..."
I watched it in silence.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
The fairy beast felt strange being stared at.
"Fairy Beast, doesn't it know?"
Tailmon asked Molemon.
I don't talk much.
The molecular beast used its steel fingers to mimic the action of zipping up a zipper in front of its mouth.
Helpless, Gatomon began to explain to Fairymon.
"What? You're the partner Digimon of the eighth Chosen Child, and Gluttonmon is the eighth Chosen Child?"
The fairy beast's eyes widened; it was the first time it had ever heard of such a thing.
"Haha, Gatomon, you must be joking, right? How could that be?"
However, after the initial shock, Fairymon realized that Gatomon was joking.
"It's true. When I was still MeowMeowmon, I felt like I was waiting for someone, and as I waited, Abu suddenly appeared in front of me, and we encountered our first danger..."
Tailmon recounted its first experience of eating Kuwagamon—or rather, being attacked by Kuwagamon—and pointed out that with Broly's help, it became stronger and evolved into Pikachumon.
"God, you evolved into a puppymon? You evolved entirely by absorbing Kuwagamon's data, not through the Digivice."
After hearing Gatomon's story, Fairymon still didn't believe it, but you can't blame it, since Broly's art style is indeed quite different from the other Chosen Children's art styles.
One is used as an evolution accessory for partner Digimon, acting as an evolution battery by activating emotional power when encountering danger.
One is to be Tailmon's big brother. Tailmon only needs to act cute and follow along to eat Digimon to easily achieve evolution.
The two are worlds apart.
"If you don't believe me even when I say this, what do I have to say for you to believe me?"
Tailmon was at a loss and asked Fairymon for help.
"Hmm, bring out your Digimon device. That thing is a special device that can easily prove your identity."
The fairy beast thought for a moment and then said.
Then Gatomon took out its Dark Evolution Armor and handed it over.
Why are you giving me this?
"Gatomon and Gluttonmon's Digivice have been fused together into the Dark Evolution Armor."
"Ha, Molecular Beast, I didn't expect you to joke around."
"The Digimon device you gave me is here; I'm currently analyzing and copying it."
Molemon opened a metal passage and led Fairymon inside, showing him the disassembled Digivice.
Fairymon was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you really the partner Digimon of the eighth Chosen Children?"
I think so.
Tailmon wasn't really sure either. The more it observed the normal art style of the Chosen Children and their partner Digimon, the more it felt that its own and Abu's art style was a bit abnormal, but that was the only answer it could give.
"If you really are a partner Digimon, then I know why you can't evolve into Angewomon."
Fairymon looked at Gatomon with a somewhat complicated expression and said.
"What's the reason?"
Tailmon pressed for details.
"The partner Digimon of the Chosen Children undergo data adjustments while still in their Digi-Egg state. Their data is easily influenced by the emotions of the Chosen Children, but they are also prone to having their evolution potential capped when they are without a partner..."
In essence, the Digivice and the Evolution Badge are special items that guarantee a minimum level of success. As long as the chosen child meets the conditions and expresses their emotions to their partner Digimon, the minimum guaranteed level is an Ultimate-level Digimon.
However, this kind of guaranteed success doesn't really apply to Gatomon, because its evolution isn't achieved through the emotional power of its partner, but rather by accumulating data step by step, well, okay, bit by bit.
It's fine when it's below the Ultimate level, as the evolution limit of Digimon cards isn't that strict. However, on the way to the Ultimate level, if Gatomon doesn't want to evolve according to the rules of the Digimon ...
"Wait, how did I, LadyDevimon, evolve?"
Gatomon discovered the blind spot and asked about it.
"That's because the Digivice and the crest guarantee the lower limit of evolution on the bright side, and also limit the upper limit of evolution on the bright side. LadyDevimon, on the other hand, evolved using dark data, which is a roundabout case, so it evolved directly. Am I right?"
The molecular beast asked the fairy beast.
"That's one way to understand it."
The fairy beast nodded.
"So what do I do now?"
Gatomon asked the question.
"There are two options. First, get your badge and unlock the evolution lock on your bright side. Second, accumulate more vaccine data until you break the evolution lock on the Divine Project."
"Where is my badge?"
"If it's not in the wild, then it must have fallen into the hands of some Digimon."
Evolution Crests are something that is prepared regularly. He has hidden some Evolution Crests, but some Evolution Crests have fallen into the hands of certain Digimon for various reasons.
For example, Sora's Heart Badge was basically given to her by Mole Beast, because the badge was already in Mole Beast's possession.
"Alright, let's discuss how much vaccine data I need to absorb before I can evolve into Angewomon."
Finding the badge can be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack if you have no clue where to start.
The chosen children were found thanks to the exploratory function of the Digimon.
But now, Gatomon's Digivice has long since become Dark Evolution Armor.
Using the Dark Evolution Armor to find the Emblem of Light is something you shouldn't even hope for.
"Wait, Molecular Beast, why aren't you saying anything?"
"What can I say? How much data is needed? There's no precedent for this. Who can know?"
Tailmon: "..."
"So my other evolutions shouldn't be blocked, right? Can I try evolving towards Lilimon first?"
"It's Dilu Beast asking."
"Then we need to export the evolution data of the Crest of Hope that you have already absorbed. If possible, let the Chosen Child's Palmon evolve into Lilimon first, and find out Lilimon's data. This will give us a better chance of success."
Molemon's suggestion is very well-thought-out, but how to make the beautiful Palmon evolve into Lilimon quickly is a big problem.
While the Evolution Crest protects humans from interfering with the lower limit of evolution, it also limits the upper limit of evolution that the partner Digimon can achieve through their own efforts.
If the conditions are met, Mega Evolution is so easy, but if the conditions are not met, even if you break the neck of the beautiful Palmon, it still won't evolve.
Fortunately, as long as you're willing to use your brain, there are always more solutions than problems.
"For the partner Digimon of the Chosen Children, there are many issues to consider, but for Digimon that aren't Chosen Children, they only need to consider whether they have enough data to evolve. Cactuarmon, are you two ready?"
Two cactus beasts from the Forest faction were found, and the Molecular Beast decided to use them for evolution experiments, feeding them a large amount of Pure Badge evolution data.
"We are ready."
The two Cactuarmon from the Forest faction were delighted to accept the opportunity to obtain a large amount of data for free and readily agreed to be the precursors to their Gatomon leader's evolutionary experiment.
Under the influence of the evolutionary data provided by the beautiful Cactus Beast, a huge flower bud grew on the top of the two Cactus Beasts' heads.
After being nurtured with data for nearly seventeen hours, the two petite and adorable flower fairy beasts finally emerged from the flower buds, beneath which lay the bodies of the original cactus beasts, now withered and decaying.
It has to be said that Lilimon has a high natural affinity. Even Gatomon, who was watching them evolve, had the idea of rubbing against the legs of the two Lilimon.
Fortunately, Gatomon held back and didn't do anything that would embarrass him as the leader.
