Takuya Kanbara has decided to stop being human.

"Roar--!"

An ancient and domineering dragon roar resounded throughout the dark region. In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and thunder boomed, seemingly announcing the return of a powerful being.

……

On the Island of Wandering, although the matter was brought to a close after Onismon was defeated, there were still many follow-up issues to be dealt with.

The first step is to reveal the known truth to all the beasts.

This matter should naturally be left to Angewomon.

After all, she can now be considered the master and queen of the Island of Wandering.

This identity was originally appointed by Takuya Kanbara in the name of the Ten Warriors. At that time, the beasts were intimidated by the power of Flame Dragon Beast. Although they did not dare to object to his face, they inevitably had some resistance in their hearts.

After learning that the war on the island was caused by the Onismon, they deeply regretted their foolishness.

Having witnessed Susanoo's earth-shattering sword strike, she immediately felt that it was very reasonable and logical for Angewomon to become the queen of Wandering Island.

Time passed, and dawn broke.

The beasts had finished taking stock of the damage they had suffered last night and came to the ancient ruins to report the situation to Angewomon.

Angewomon, dressed as a priestess, may have lost some of her sexiness and allure, but gained more of her dignity and grace. Bathed in the rising sun, she resembled a goddess of dawn, dazzling and radiant.

Shamanmon and Jeanne d'Arcmon (fake) were standing nearby, and Takuya Kanbara and the other ten warriors were not far away.

With such a formidable presence, no one dared to harbor any ulterior motives.

The dragon-man beast said suspiciously, "Lord Angewomon, I suspect that the beast race is secretly keeping Onismon's egg."

This statement makes some sense, since the Onis Beast appeared from above the Beastman tribe's warehouse, so such suspicion is reasonable.

The grizzly bear roared, "You're lying! We didn't!"

If he were a little more clever, he could completely erase the whole thing by claiming that the orc tribe was destroyed, and even take the opportunity to blame the humans, saying that the humans framed the orcs.

Of course, the grizzly bear beast doesn't have that kind of cunning.

The human Yakshamon questioned, "Then why do you think Onismon appeared among the beastmen first?"

Grizzlymon was speechless. The rabbitmon next to him whispered, "Grizzlymon, last night I saw Lord Eaglemon enter the warehouse."

"What?! Lord Celestial Eagle Beast!?"

The grizzly bear cried out in surprise.

Everyone frowned, as if they had discovered a clue.

Jeanne d'Arc (fake) asked knowingly, "Could it be that Eaglemon has been hiding Onismon's egg?"

The beast-type Digimon looked at each other in bewilderment.

They still held Harpiemon in high esteem and couldn't believe that Harpiemon would do such a thing.

Jeanne d'Arc (fake) said unhurriedly, "Grizzlymon, let Celestial Eaglemon come out. We'll have a confrontation, and the truth will come out."

Her words were flawless; she clearly wanted to abandon her identity as a Celestial Eagle Beast in order to preserve the disguise of this Jeanne d'Arc Beast.

In any case, the landscape of Wandering Island will change in the future. It will no longer be a war between humanoids and beastoids. Therefore, there is no point in continuing to retain the identity of Celestial Eagle Beast. It is better to sacrifice the pawn to save the king.

Jeanne d'Arc (the fake) chuckled inwardly: "Kamihara Takuya, with such a brilliant plan, what reason do you still have to doubt me!"

Unaware of Jeannemon's (fake) plans, the beast-type Digimon whispered amongst themselves. Grizzlymon lamented that they hadn't seen Eaglemon since last night.

— Fleeing to evade punishment!

The word popped into everyone's mind at the same time.

Jeanne d'Arc (the fake one) glanced at the other beasts, and seeing their expressions, knew they had already made up their minds. She then turned to the beautiful Angewomon and asked, "Angewomon-sama, what do you think?"

Angewomon parted her thin lips slightly and said, "Celestial Eagle Beast is indeed the most suspicious, but we cannot make a conclusion before we find him. We will issue a warrant for Celestial Eagle Beast's arrest starting today, and make a decision after we capture him."

Angewomon was not intimidated by this situation at all, and even handled it with ease.

This is not because she was once one of the three archangels. The era of the three archangels was more than 7,000 years ago, which is a very ancient memory, and even if she recalled it, it would be of little use.

The main reason for my performance was that I rehearsed several times last night under the guidance of Takuya Kanbara, and combined with my experience from my time as one of the Three Archangels.

Next came the even more crucial mobilization meeting.

"Digimon! Whether it's Onismon or Harpiemon, it's all in the past."

Since Onismon has already been defeated, dwelling on it too much will only waste energy; what's more important is future development.

Angewomon raised her hand and declared eloquently: "Look! The sun rises as usual today, and we have ushered in a brand new day. From today onwards, the Island of Wandering will no longer be the Island of Wandering of the past. Just like this sky, which was very dark before, it will become very bright after the sun rises. Our future will also be so bright! So vast!"

Angewomon's voice is versatile, capable of being gentle or heroic at will. This inspiring message directly pulled the Digimon back from their past sorrows, filling them with hope for the future.

Digimon can be just that simple sometimes.

So innocently cute!

Jeanne d'Arc (fake) clicked her tongue inwardly. She had wanted to try to figure out if it was possible to create a fictional version of Angewomon, but it seemed that it wouldn't be easy. She glanced at Takuya Kambara, only to find that he was looking at her. She quickly and discreetly looked away, thinking to herself, "I'd better keep a low profile for now."

On the other side, after Angewomon encouraged the Digimon, she began to assign tasks.

The Island of Wanderings suffered heavy losses due to years of war, coupled with the destruction caused by the Onis Beast last night, especially the Beastmen tribe, most of their settlements were razed to the ground.

Therefore, the first task is to rebuild.

In order to promote the integration of humans and beasts, Angewomon selected a group of Digimon from the human race to help the beast race rebuild their tribe.

It is believed that the relationship between the two ethnic groups will be further improved through the friendship built by working together.

If problems arise, it's not necessarily a bad thing. If she discovers them early, she can make adjustments in advance to avoid causing serious problems in the future. She learns from her mistakes and doesn't want to see another Cherubimmon turn evil.

In addition, the place to be built is this central island, which will serve as the palace where Angewomon resides.

Since Angewomon is the new owner of Wandering Island, it would be inappropriate for her to live on either the human or beast side, so it would be fair to both sides to have her live on the central island.

Digimon are extraordinary beings; they possess unusual strength and abilities.

The Dragonman Beast carries a large cleaver and can cut down trees in an instant, quickly felling trees to provide building materials.

The Grizzly Beast has claws strong enough to split mountains and shatter rocks. It is an excavator in itself, and it is flexible and versatile, able to do things that an excavator cannot.

Digimon all possess extraordinary abilities, and this power, when used for construction, can greatly improve infrastructure efficiency.

And so, under Angewomon's control, the Island of Wanderers began to move toward a new order.

The Island of Wandering will also become a mere shell, because the Digimon on it have found new goals and are no longer wandering.

If the Island of Wandering no longer wanders, will it return to the digital world?

The answer is... it still flies silently in the air.

The question-and-answer beast asked, "When can we return to the ground?"

Even the all-knowing Pogo Beast couldn't answer this.

Because it was not recorded in his book of all knowledge.

When the question of when they could return to the ground came up, Shibayama Junpei suddenly sighed, "Speaking of which, Takuya and Kouji have already evolved twice and can even evolve into Hyper, but we haven't obtained the Beast Spirit yet. I really want to go back to the ground as soon as possible to find the Spirit."

His tone was tinged with bitterness and envy; the more he thought about it from yesterday until now, the more envious he became.

They are both chosen saviors, so why is there such a big difference?

Himi Yuki also remarked, "They're evolving faster than light."

Izumi Orimoto was quite optimistic and didn't have such a strong desire for evolution because she was satisfied with Angewomon's fighting spirit. She liked freedom, and although Angewomon wasn't powerful, it allowed her to fly on the wind.

Flying is the ultimate expression of freedom!

So she was very content.

Upon hearing the topic of conversation, Takuya Kambara said, "Speaking of which, there's something I need to tell you."

This statement drew everyone's attention.

Takuya Kanbara said, "When I activated the Eight Thunder Gods earlier, although I only summoned the humanoid warrior spirits of the Ten Warriors, I sensed the whereabouts of the three beast-type warrior spirits corresponding to you. Once we return to the ground, we can go and find them directly."

Izumi Orimoto, Junpei Shibayama, and Tomoki Himi were delighted to hear this.

The question-and-answer beast said lightly, "But we still need to get back to the ground first."

The atmosphere froze instantly, and the smiles on everyone's faces gradually faded.

Bokomon tugged at Questionmon's pocket and reassured him, "Don't worry, we'll definitely get back."

Hearing this, everyone's mood improved slightly.

"Huh?" Grodon Beast, who had been relatively unnoticed until now, suddenly realized that he had two Earth-type Fighter Spirits. He excitedly exclaimed, "I've collected all my Fighter Spirits! Can you help me evolve my dual souls?"

Takuya Kanbara asked, "How well do you handle the beast form?"

Grodonmon chuckled dryly, "It's...it's alright."

Seeing Groton's hesitant manner, Takuya Kanbara had a better understanding of the situation and said, "You haven't developed the power of the Fighter Spirit yet. Giving you dual-soul evolution now would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow."

He looked at Izumi Orimoto, Junpei Shibayama, and Tomoki Himi and said, "You are the same. The higher your control over the Fighter Spirit, the stronger you will be after your dual souls evolve."

The three of them lowered their heads in shame.

Compared to Takuya Kanbara and Kouji Minamoto, they did fall short in developing the spirit of the fighter.

Because the spirit of a fighter is meant to be used in battle, and before that they were just ordinary people, some fat, some thin, some small, it was naturally difficult for them to unleash the power of the spirit of a fighter.

Grodonmon quickly asked, "Then how can I improve my control over the Warrior's Spirit?"

"Of course, only through continuous practice."

The teacher once said, "There's nothing special about it, just practice makes perfect."

Takuya Kanbara patted Grodonmon on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Now is a time when everything needs to be rebuilt, and you happen to be an Earth Warrior. Leveling the land, breaking through mountains and rocks, digging ditches and filling pits will help you master the power of the Earth element more quickly."

The Gludonmon suddenly realized: "I understand."

The thought of completing his cultivation and evolving his dual souls to possess the full potential of the ten ancient warriors filled him with joy.

After saying that, he ran out and actively joined the island's infrastructure construction projects.

"What's he rushing off to?" Angewomon had just finished arranging her work and returned when she saw Grodonmon rushing out, and asked curiously.

Takuya Kambara said, "He's going to shine and generate heat."

Everyone rolled their eyes, speechless.

"How about you guys..." Takuya Kanbara looked at everyone and gestured.

No one wanted to do the bricklaying, so they quickly asked, "Is there any other way?"

Takuya Kambara said earnestly, "This is a unique training method of my sect that combines cultivation with labor. Are you sure you don't want to give it a try? It's a win-win situation."

Ordinary spiritual practice can only train oneself, and may even damage the environment; it can only make one a powerful person.

By cultivating oneself through labor, one not only strengthens oneself and elevates one's spirit, but also creates value for society. Such a person will ultimately become a great person.

Takuya Kanbara said, "To achieve extraordinary things, you need extraordinary means."

The group chuckled and said, "We'll think about it."

Becoming a great person is certainly good, but it's also tough, and not everyone can bear that kind of hardship.

They are just high school students after all, and they don't have that kind of awareness yet.

Seeing that the others were reluctant, Takuya Kambara did not force them. Not everyone has such lofty ambitions and the passionate will to act for them as he does.

The group continued chatting, and eventually the topic of returning to Earth came up again.

This time, Angewomon was among the audience, and she said, "Actually, there is a way to return to the ground."

Everyone was curious: what method was it?

Angewomon raised a finger and said, "Previously, I used my privileges to access the data of the Wandering Island, and I have a deeper understanding of the situation there. If you want to leave the Wandering Island, you must destroy it, and it will naturally fall back to the ground. So, do you want to destroy it? Or not?"

Takuya Kanbara sighed inwardly, thinking that Angewomon's old habit had returned—she liked to give people choices.

If Wandering Island were a desolate place, it would be one thing, but Wandering Island has a beautiful environment, is full of life, and is home to so many Digimon. How can we destroy it?

After much deliberation, the group still refused to choose this method.

"Let's think of another way."

Angewomon smiled slightly, having anticipated everyone's choice, and said, "There is another way, which is to control the Island of Wandering, just like driving a car. Once you have control of the steering wheel, you can go wherever you want."

Anything can be mastered if the right method is found, and the Island of Wandering is no exception.
