Takuya Kanbara has decided to stop being human.

The Fire God Beast retorted, "Then do you understand me?"

Angewomon said, "Kamihara Takuya, sixteen years old, with a family of four. I know everything about you, from which hospitals you've been to to how many times you've had a cold. Whether you believe it or not, the fact is I know you better than you know yourself."

In the online world, Digimon are like viruses. Angewomon, for example, is a top-tier hacker. There's no data that's been recorded in a database that she can't find.

The teenagers and children she selected were chosen based on information gathered from individuals of relatively good character.

Angewomon's answer was somewhat unexpected by Valkyriemon.

He hadn't expected this to happen.

"Whatever, you can make up a new cage and lock yourself up." Without engaging in a pointless argument with Angewomon, Volcarona turned and left.

This time, Angewomon was stunned. She looked at the back of Vulcan, then at the room where she had been imprisoned for thousands of years. She gritted her teeth, lifted her skirt, and chased after Vulcan.

"Wait for me……"

Chapter 5, The Digivice Modification Project

Inside the castle of the Cherubim.

Whenever Vulcan reaches a fork in the road, it closes its eyes and uses its Digimon super senses to choose the path with the fewest enemies.

Angewomon followed behind Vulcanmon, initially curious about each of Vulcanmon's pauses, but gradually came to understand the meaning behind each pause.

"He has mastered the abilities of Digimon to such an extent!" Angewomon thought in surprise.

The two passed through the last tunnel and entered a fantastical space. The staircases here were intricate and could easily cause visual illusions, leading people to get lost and be trapped here forever.

In mid-air, data fragments floated, each containing the shadowy silhouette of a Digimon, howling and wailing.

"These are all Digimon whose data was corrupted due to Cherubimon's experimentation with the Fighter Spirit." Angewomon looked at the dead with a compassionate expression.

Not everyone is suited to the Fighter Spirit. The Digimon here are the result of failed attempts to fuse with the Fighter Spirit, with most of them being failures of the Dark Fighter Spirit.

"Should we save them?" Vulcan asked.

Angewomon said, "I'll adjust their data; you scan them down using the terminal."

As expected of the angel who governs love and compassion, Angewomon cannot bear to see Digimon suffer, even now that she is trapped in enemy territory.

"Let's begin." Fire God Beast nodded in agreement, thinking it wouldn't take long.

Angewomon opened her arms, releasing golden threads from her palms, like tiny hands. Under their influence, the Digimon with distorted data gradually returned to normal.

However, these Digimon can no longer be restored to Digimon; they must be reincarnated as Digi-Eggs to start over.

"So...why can't it be changed to a QR code?"

Scanning a Salubimon used to take three seconds, but now there are at least a hundred Digimon here, and scanning them one by one is really time-consuming.

When Angewomon heard Vulcanmon complain, she couldn't help but smile. This Takuya Kanbara, who had acted like a little adult before, actually still had a childlike side.

"A QR code..."

However, the suggestion from Vulcanmon made Angewomon think.

She has been trapped here for thousands of years, but her mind can still connect with the human network; otherwise, she would not have been able to select the children.

In a sense, she was forced to be a recluse for thousands of years.

She naturally knew about QR codes; it was a technology that humankind began researching in the 1980s, and now the technology is mature, with its own advantages compared to barcodes.

"But this might be a good idea."

Angewomon moved her ten fingers as if typing on an invisible keyboard, and under her control, a Digimon's data was folded into a fist-sized, square data block.

Fire God Beast: "..."

Angewomon shouted, "We did it!"

She was as excited as a single woman in her late thirties who was about to get married.

In fact, changing the data format of Digimon from barcodes to QR codes does not fundamentally change anything; it simply makes them easier to store and transport.

“Give it to me.” Angewomon stretched out her hands to Vaporeon.

"What?" Fire God Beast asked, puzzled.

Angewomon explained, "Give me the terminal. To accommodate the QR code, we need to modify the scanner on the terminal."

Without hesitation, Vulcan handed the Armored Digivice to Angewomon and said, "Since we're going to change it, why not change the design too?"

Angewomon asked in confusion, "Style? How do I change it?"

The Vulcan Beast said, "We also need to scan our own data to evolve. If we scan a QR code, wouldn't the evolution speed be even faster?"

Angewomon nodded. As a Digimon who had participated in the ancient war, she knew that the battlefield was ever-changing and everything was done in a race against time. If the evolution speed could be increased, the advantage would be greater.

"What you said makes sense. Do you have any suggestions?"

While Angewomon is very knowledgeable, she lacks imagination.

"If you're going to change it, then change it thoroughly."

"Vulcan Beast said."

Angewomon nodded, agreeing with the statement.

"First, add communication capabilities to the Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex so that children can stay in touch when they get lost, and also reduce the embarrassment of not being able to find someone in a critical moment."

In this digital world, communication is basically done by shouting, which is really unacceptable.

"Secondly, compared to Digimon, the human body is far too weak. I propose that we should separate an accessory to protect the human body. It could be designed in the shape of a belt or something, with the user's QR code attached to it. As long as it is inserted into a digital terminal, the evolution can be completed instantly."

As if remembering something else, Vulcan added, "The sound effect during evolution will be changed to an electronic sound, which I will shout out myself... It's a little embarrassing."

Actually, he doesn't have chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

"I...I understand." Angewomon carefully began the modification. Fortunately, it was just a modification, not an upgrade, otherwise Angewomon's energy might not be enough.

After satisfying Takuya Kanbara's needs, Angewomon was exhausted and drenched in sweat.

"Is this okay?"

Angewomon handed a belt and a new Armored Digivice to Vulcanmon.

The Firegothon reverts to its evolved form and transforms back into Takuya Kanbara.

This was the first time Angewomon had seen Takuya Kanbara in person.

In terms of appearance, Takuya Kanbara is the kind of person whose looks grow on you. He has 10-centimeter-long hair with a brownish color.

In terms of physique, she is the type who looks slim in clothes. In fact, she has adjusted the balance of muscle and fat in her body to the best state. Her muscles are not prominent, but they are very firm.

As it degenerated, the Fighter Spirit returned to the Armored Digivice.

Takuya Kambara first fastened the belt around his waist.

The belt is designed to be used as a regular belt. There is a groove and buckle at the front, which is where the Armored Digivice is attached.

After putting on the belt, Takuya Kanbara felt full of power, every cell in his body was cheering, he was so excited!

Although this power is not as great as evolving into a Fire God Beast, he could clearly feel that he was twice as strong as before.

Da da da……

While Takuya Kanbara was still experiencing the power of the belt, a series of footsteps approached, and a dwarf slowly walked in.

Grodon!

He is the Earth Warrior among the Ten Warriors, but unfortunately he is Cherubimon's subordinate, so he is an enemy rather than a friend.

"Angewomon, you actually escaped!"

Grodonmon's gaze fell on Angewomon, its face filled with shock.

As for Takuya Kanbara, he didn't care.

Compared to Angewomon, a human is nothing special.

"...We were discovered after all!"

Angewomon sensed something was wrong. She had been discovered before she could even escape, which was undoubtedly the worst-case scenario. If she caused a commotion here, it might attract even more enemies.

"As long as we eliminate him, we won't be considered discovered."

Takuya Kambara inserted the Armored Digivice into the groove of his belt.

"Spirit!"

A female electronic voice sounded, and upon closer listening, the source was still Angewomon. It had no feminine feel whatsoever, giving the impression of a heroic female general.

Takuya Kambara nodded in satisfaction: "Yeah~ that's the feeling."

"Evolution!"

A transparent wall appeared in front of him and behind him, with parts of the Vulcan Beast's armor hanging on the walls.

The two walls merged together instantly and then disappeared, leaving only the Fire God Beast in the spot.

The Gurodon Beast scoffed, "Tch, all flash and no substance."

Chapter Six, Carrying a Princess is Very Difficult

"Fancy, isn't it..."

The Fire God Beast raised the corner of its mouth, its azure eyes as calm as the sky.

"I think it's just right; a hero's appearance needs to be highlighted."

As soon as he finished speaking, Vulcan transformed into a swift shadow and instantly arrived in front of Grodonmon, punching Grodonmon's big nose.

Since it needed to conceal its tracks, Vulcan chose to finish the battle quickly, giving Grodonmon no chance to catch its breath. It used Bajiquan and Misty Step in combination, circling Grodonmon and attacking it 108 times.

...Grodonmon was reduced to data.

Because Vulcan uses QR codes to evolve, after defeating an enemy, the enemy will also turn into a QR code block.

"Digital password, scan!"

The Vulcan directly absorbed the data block of Grodonmon into the Armed Digivice on its belt, at a speed more than twice as fast as before.

Two Earth Warrior Spirits were also sucked into the Armed Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The fighting spirits of the Ten Warriors are all in pairs, one human form and one beast form.

Grodonmon gathered the fighting spirits of both warriors, but unfortunately, it was defeated without giving it a chance to use them.

"Good, so fast..."

Angewomon asked in surprise, "Earth warriors are somewhat effective against fire warriors, yet you managed to defeat Grodonmon in ten seconds despite being at a disadvantage. Takuya, how did you do that?"

"That's like asking 'Why does a stone melt when it falls into the sun?'" Vulcan turned around. "Isn't that obvious?"

Angewomon was stunned.

However, as one of the three angels and the most knowledgeable being in the Digital World, she quickly came to her senses. Takuya Kanbara was indeed stronger than she had imagined, which should be a happy thing.

"Hurry up and organize this data; we need to leave as soon as possible," the Fire God Beast urged.

Angewomon nodded and used her remaining power to correct the Digimon with erroneous data into data cubes.

Halfway through the adjustment, Angewomon suddenly swayed and looked like she was about to fall. Venusamon rushed forward to support Angewomon.

"Are you alright?" the Fire God Beast asked.

Angewomon said weakly, "It's alright. I've been trapped for too long, and my energy is much lower than before. In addition, the energy consumption from modifying the digital terminal earlier has caused me to over-consume energy."

The Fire God Beast asked worriedly, "Can it be restored?"

Angewomon said, "It's alright, I'll recover after resting for a while."

The Fire God Beast breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Angewomon recovered some energy and finished the remaining work, but this exhausted her energy again, and she fainted this time.

Even if it meant fainting, she was determined to save these Digimon. She truly deserves to be called an angel of love and compassion.

The Vulcan gently placed Angewomon on the ground, then opened its arms to pull all the data cubes floating in mid-air into its belt and sealed them away.
