The Story of the Fate of the Digital Series

Volume No.11: Moonsea Labyrinth & Many as One (20)

"Can we talk about something else... Asmodeus, have we actually met before?"

"But that must be a very bad memory for you, right? Since you want to satisfy your curiosity, I don't mind how you feel."

Staring at Karen, Asmodeus went straight to the point.

"Your prosthetic limb is made of 'Eymand' alloy, right? It is one of the hardest materials in the world of the Nagao tree, and its ability to absorb kinetic energy is also high in defense. 'Eymand' alloy is It is a special product of the Kingdom of Asaya, and it belongs to the private property of the Norens family. It is very rare. This prosthetic arm was custom-made for you by Urd, right? Oh, she must trust you very much, so she will give it to you You are such a special 'gift'. It's really like her style, I kind of miss the time I worked with her."

"I... used to be her subordinate. At that time, she really took good care of me and believed in me..."

Karen said in embarrassment, and then changed the subject again.

"Was Asmodeus a friend of Urd's before?"

"'Temporary comrade-in-arms' is a more appropriate term. Ten years ago, when I was traveling, I met Urd in the Kingdom of Asaya."

Holding the teacup in his hand, Asmodeus said nostalgicly.

"As we all know, the king of the Asaya Kingdom is an incompetent and stupid king who is greedy for pleasure, and he doesn't care about the state of the kingdom at all. Because of that incompetent and stupid king, the kingdom has always been in a state of poverty, and child abductions in the country are also extremely rampant .”

"yes……"

Hearing the 'child abduction incident', Karen's eyes dimmed involuntarily.

"In order to avoid more tragedies, Wuerde has recruited many powerful and righteous people to wipe out the trafficking organizations hiding in various places, and I am one of them. Although she is a bit messy, she has indeed put in a lot of effort, and I respect her a lot. Such human beings."

In the memories of Asmodeus, Urd was a respectable human being.

"The last annihilation was in some outlying town. But just remembering what those scum did, it still burns my heart."

Asmodeus was a little agitated, and the teacup in his tightly clenched hands cracked.

"Human trafficking; illegal experimentation; organ trading; and taking children's healthy limbs and forcing them to beg...all sacrifice children's bodies to gain dirty profits."

"I have seen every rescued child. Even if the children have little impression of me, I don't care. Even if the shadow left by childhood is hard to disappear, it is also important to look forward to the future."

Looking at Karen, Asmodeus' smile became gentler.

Sure enough, Karen's childhood was really miserable...

"...Thank you, Asmodeus, you have always been a true hero."

Encouraged by the heroine in front of her, Karen responded with a shy smile.

"As for Uld, she died in the 'Metullion Rebellion' half a year ago. I probably know that the disaster that happened in the Kingdom of Asaya three years ago had an indelible impact on her and the spiritual damage, so I decided to It caused the extreme situation half a year ago. Of course, I don’t deny her achievements in unifying the kingdom; after all, in a country that values ​​men, it takes more excellence to become a female leader, and more efforts can be rewarded. Sometimes, for the sake of the overall situation, Being ruthless and ruthless is also a necessary choice, not a mistake. Of course, it is just my personal opinion."

By the way, Asmodeus had a somewhat helpless tone when mentioning the changes in Urd.

"The encounters in life are always changeable; first, force is used to forcibly reclaim the former homeland, and the 'unification' of the motherland is about to succeed. But at a critical moment, the city is suddenly attacked by an army of filthy beasts. I watched the online live broadcast , the scene was quite tragic; until a huge filthy beast rushed into the sky, the live broadcast was forcibly disconnected. If I had been there at the time, maybe I could have had a good fight, and by the way, I would find Uld to talk about the past and ask her The reason for the change?"

"Whenever I see an interview about her on the news, she is more arrogant than before. Rather, it feels more like some kind of metamorphic change in the soul; in my impression, Wu Even in such a desperate situation, I don't think she can die easily. Hey, Karen, didn't you just say that you were once a trusted subordinate of Uld? Regarding Uld's death, you You should know a little bit of the truth..."

"I, I don't know! In fact, when I attacked Metullion in Uld, I left her..."

Not wanting everyone to know her hypocritical and ugly side, Karen tried to lie as calmly as possible.Urd's death was partly his own responsibility.

"Wuld is my benefactor, I respect and admire her very much, that's why I want to join her... But since I got to know her more and more, and she ignored the I was disappointed in her when ordinary people were killed by force...so I left without saying goodbye."

By the way, some facts are also stated.

"Okay, I see. Let's end the topic of the dead, anyway, Urd and I are not exactly friends."

As if seeing something, Asmodeus didn't ask any more questions.

Although the topic was over, the atmosphere in the living room became a little dignified.Not understanding the social situation in the other world, Zheng Hao just kept quiet and let the two compatriots from the other world 'talk'.As for Sword Emperor Beast, she seemed a little tired of listening to irrelevant chatter.

"Asmodeus."

Putting down the empty plate in his hand, the Sword Emperor Beast suddenly stopped Asmodeus.

"What? I'm not going to spend time making pies anymore. If you just want something else to drink, there's still soda in the fridge, go get it yourself."

"I'm not a girl who likes tea parties. If you like to wear casual clothes, you should have extra clothes, preferably clothes that are easy to fight and have strong fabrics, especially bottoms."

"Hey, can you... well, I see. Of course there are clothes, but they need to be re-sized and cut. I can't sew."

Asmodeus quickly understood Sword Emperor Beast's intentions, he was really an awkward guy.

"I'll take care of it, at least I'm good at sewing."

It doesn't appear that you, who are always grumpy and poker-faced, are good at sewing.

"Karen, are you free now? Go to my room with Sword Emperor Beast."

Standing up, Asmodeus invited Karen and Sword Emperor Beast into his room.

"Little girl, don't try to peek! If you dare to have evil thoughts, I'll burn you into skewers immediately!"

As for Zhenghao, he was warned by Asmodeus as a matter of course.

"I don't have the time to peek at the little girl changing clothes. Also, Karen's clothes were burned to pieces by the flames, most of which are due to you! You'd better go back to your room and compensate her A suitable dress."

Zhenghao relentlessly reprimanded what Asmodeus had done.

In the mutual dislike of one man and one beast, Asmodeus entered the room, then closed the door heavily, and turned him away.

…………

.....................

...............................

After several hours, the sound of opening the door sounded, and the difficult waiting was finally over.

"Sorry to keep you waiting……"

Karen, who had put on new clothes, came over and smiled apologetically at Zhenghao.

Slightly long and slightly exposed white long-sleeved jacket jacket, underwear is a blue bottoming shirt, and a long blue scarf that has never been taken off is tied around the neck; the bottom is black tight trousers, which perfectly covers the prosthesis stand up.There is a black belt around the waist, and on the left back of the waist is a large piece of triangular blue lace cloth for decoration.

Compared with the previous adventurer costumes, the current costumes are more up-to-date.

"Not bad, quite suitable for you."

Zheng Hao symbolically appreciated Karen's new clothes.

"Really... It's all thanks to Asmodeus and Sword Emperor Beast, especially Sword Emperor Beast. My clothes are made by her."

Appreciated Karen looked happy.

"Little ****, you have good eyesight!"

And Asmodeus is also very satisfied that his clothes can come in handy; I have to say that Sword Emperor Beast's sewing skills are really good, just like a professional.Just simply cut and modify the selected clothes, and make a fit and good-looking clothing in just a few hours.

"Karen, I believe you will not disappoint my good intentions on a whim. The 'gift' is only available once, so cherish it."

At some point, Sword Emperor Beast put on her helmet, but her tone of voice remained unchanged.

After getting a good rest, it's time to go.

"Very good, we will be real enemies after we meet next time! If you are not afraid of death, just come to the inner labyrinth and challenge me! I will annihilate you without mercy!"

Sending the three guests back to the surface labyrinth, Asmodeus, who 'turned friends into enemies', issued another challenge.

"Hmph, cherish the short time of your life, Asmodeus. The next time we meet, it will be your real time of death."

Sword Emperor Beast also responded to her with an emotionless tone.

"I'll wait for you, don't let the White Queen play you badly. Then, goodbye! If you see the cherubim, please say hello to him for me, I don't mind adopting a rabbit pet."

"Asmodeus, the Cherubimus are your compatriots..."

Before Karen finished speaking, Asmodeus' figure quickly disappeared.

"The enemy has left, let's act now, don't get out of my sight."

After Asmodeus left, the Sword Emperor Beast immediately gave instructions to the two humans.Time is running out, while protecting the two humans, now we have to rescue the survivors as soon as possible.

([-])

Salvation, the act itself is arrogant.

But if such arrogance cannot be tolerated, people cannot be relieved.

But if you want to save the world, you need irrefutable power.

A power that can make all things equal, and even ruthlessly save everything in the world.

Therefore, I am willing to touch the 'taboo', let my body and mind be polluted and become 'evil'; let myself and everything around me pay a huge price for this.

I thought I understood everything, but in reality I probably understood nothing.

So, I failed again...

Consciousness, perception, memory, and thinking are rapidly disappearing. Is this a precursor to death?

"...We have never changed, but everyone is a life moving towards ideals and goals, and ideals and goals are also the direction that most of our compatriots are moving forward, not because we have to bear everything alone and want to achieve ideals, but the result is evolution. Become a barrier that makes you lose your sight."

"So...until the end, please believe in the world you love and the compatriots you want to protect. There are 'miracles', and there are great possibilities in the future. Please give up 'despair'!"

The black paladin who stopped him said so.

"You will witness the future of the world on my behalf... If the future is not as good as you said, I will definitely be resurrected and realize my 'ambition' again..."

Really unwilling, but I finally chose to trust that black paladin.Because he, like me, was created to protect the future of the world.

If the future is really full of possibilities and there is a happy ending, it is really a great pity that I cannot witness the beautiful future with my own eyes.

——My field of vision shows an untimely scene.

It was a world where Digimon and humans coexisted with each other.But the world of coexistence is not perfect, and there are still ugliness; but humans and Digimon still re-establish a new relationship with each other, and understand each other, constantly moving forward, and crossing obstacles together...

This is what the future looks like.

... Heh, the possibility of the future?Although it is very different from the future I imagined, it can be regarded as barely qualified...

"You don't have the ability to see the future. The 'future' you see is just your imagination. Isn't that how she described her hometown?"

Dreams shattered.In the void, the child angel whose whole body was stained black by filth looked at me and said calmly.

That's how I first let myself down.

"Look at me, look at you, willing to make yourself 'ugly' for a great ideal. 'I' have been working hard and never gave up; but why, 'I' was easily persuaded by the compatriot who defeated me ? Is it because you are too tired? Tired of being 'evil'? Suffering too much despair? Or do you also want to feel hope?"

"'I' should be more stubborn and determined than anyone else..."

Yes, why would I be persuaded and choose to compromise?Maybe it's the same as what I think in my heart.

No, I just want to choose to believe.Because, the final battle, and his promise, made me see the possibility of the future...

"Of course 'I' is very clear. It's not a bad thing to try to believe in another witness, right? He is the favorite creation of 'God'. Oh, I'm really not reconciled, do they think I will easily give up my obsession ?"

"Wait!...why...my consciousness hasn't disappeared yet?"

I should have died...

"The sinful 'I' is not qualified to usher in a peaceful death, 'I' will bear the punishment it deserves, right?"

Yes, I have committed too many sins to be forgiven by anyone.

...Where is this place?Why do I still exist?

"Because you really need to pay for the sins you committed."

With a familiar aura, she showed a mischievous, innocent smile.

"I resurrected you. How does it feel to be reborn? It is not an easy task to piece together your shattered soul fragments to revive you. Heh, welcome to the Moon Sea Labyrinth, my friend, here is 'kill and be killed 'world."

"Only the souls who have committed sins and bear sins will be selected by the Moon Sea Labyrinth. You are really qualified. Just do whatever you want. You can destroy the lives of sins, try to redeem their souls, and try to destroy the moon. The Moon Sea Labyrinth, if you can do it. By the way, you can never leave the Moon Sea Labyrinth, your life is closely connected with this world. Once the Moon Sea Labyrinth disappears, or you leave here, you will die. Haha, Anyway, no one can escape the Moon Sea Labyrinth! Let’s experience the new life first, I look forward to your struggle~~”

Do you know how to redeem your sinful soul?
