The Story of the Fate of the Digital Series

Volume No.11: Moonsea Labyrinth & Many as One (33)

In the second spiral passage, Zhenghao encountered the phantom of Asmodeus again.

[Since the end of the crusade against the illegal organization of child trafficking in the Asaya Kingdom, I, who hate the evil forces, always secretly use my father's intelligence network to seek justice without authorization. Although sometimes it will cause more trouble for my father, but for me Justice, everything is worth it...]

[On an accidental day, I was investigating multiple cases of missing children in different cities, and found information about cults.The disappearance of the children is all related to a certain cult; if the cult can be successfully destroyed, the missing children must be rescued... With a naive idea, I thought I was ready and the filth hired by me The beast hunters broke into the enemy's lair without authorization. ]

[At the beginning, the operation was obviously very successful.But we didn't expect that the children who were supposed to be rescued turned into existences that should be annihilated in the end.When the children are taken, their end is doomed to be tragic...]

Asmodeus' voice continued to ring in his ears, and when Zhenghao came back to his senses, he found himself standing in a huge laboratory full of cold steel colors.Are you in the memory phantom of the other party?

Perhaps because of the attack on the laboratory, the risk factors for instability have increased.Then, a huge white artificial life without any facial features broke the glass and rushed out of the giant cultivation tank.

(What a curious monster!)

Seeing the white monster with no facial features in front of his eyes, but a child's face all over his chest, and a child's body at the end of his tail, Zhenghao felt sick.

<Mom... Mom...>

<save me...>

<It hurts, it hurts! ! ! >

"Could it be... that dirty beast is all made by children...?"

Seeing the distorted faces of the children on the monster's chest, and hearing the cries of pain from the children, Asmodeus was stunned.

<Don't, don't, don't! ! >

<Stomach...so hungry...>

<So painful...so painful...>

Due to the appearance and rampage of artificial life forms, the scene became extremely chaotic.

Whether it is a human or a Digimon, as long as it is discovered by a monster, it will be covered with blood.This life-threatening bloodthirsty monster must not be allowed to appear in the outside world!

It (the children) are just bloodthirsty, irrational monsters!In order to save more lives, it must be eliminated! ... yes, must! ! !

Knowing how he should solve the situation, even though he was very conflicted in his heart, Asmodeus still kept reminding himself to recognize the status quo.

So, she can only kill 'children' (artificial life forms).

<It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts...! ! ! >

<Don't...don't...don't...! ! ! ! >

It is clearly an irrational monster, but it still screams and cries in the voice of a child.

"sorry Sorry……"

Gently apologizing, Asmodeus delivered a fatal attack on the artificial lifeform.

It is such a tenacious existence of life. If you want to kill it completely, you must be full of determination... So, under the continuous pursuit of Asmodeus, those unbearable screams of despair and fear belonging to the 'children' finally disappeared The artificial life body whose body has become dilapidated finally ushered in death.

[I don't think killing the artificial life body is a relief for the children. If it is not eliminated, more people will die...]

The phantom disappeared, said the phantom of Asmodeus in a trembling voice.

[I have done nothing wrong, for my own justice, I must stand my ground.Even if my hands are stained with children's blood, I don't regret at all...not at all...]

[...It's really useless, I've been vomiting for a long time since I killed the artificial life body...]

The phantom of Asmodeus disappeared again.

You really like to be brave... Of course, what you did was right.Rather than saying that you don't regret it, you are actually blaming yourself, right?

Knowing the past of Asmodeus, Zhenghao is not so disgusted with her anymore.

Zhenghao, who continued to go deeper, reached the third spiral passage.

[After killing the children with my own hands, I have been blaming myself for it...]

The phantom that appeared in front of him was Asmodeus with his armor removed.

[Wanting to be a hero and insisting on your own justice is more difficult than imagined.There are not only glamorous things in this world. If I have to sacrifice others in order to protect the lives of more people...then I will still make the same choice. ]

Although she smiled, her expression was deep and sad.

[Instead of taking the lives of the innocent, I would rather take the lives of the wicked...]

[Therefore, there are only villains who have committed crimes in the Moonsea Labyrinth.And those people who are willing to degenerate and lose their reason in the Moon Sea Labyrinth cannot be saved as a matter of course, and they don't have any repentance. ]

[I am also a villain, one day I will become like them.Before I remained rational, I kept my determination to return to the original world. As long as I meet the requirements, I will definitely be able to go back... But it is too despicable for me to have the hope alone, even though I know very well that the Moon Sea Labyrinth is A gathering place for the wicked, but I still believe that there are people who remain rational and have a kind heart in their hearts.While eradicating evil characters, wait with hope for someone worthy of being saved to appear. ]

[At least... my expectations were not in vain, I met you who are full of possibilities.Hurry up and let the game end, so that everyone can go back...]

He is really a fool who likes to dig into corners. Compared with himself, Asmodeus actually hopes to save good people who are worth living.When fighting everyone, she told the truth and was mentally prepared to be killed.

Zhenghao, who has been going deep into his inner world, just listens to her suppressed unconscious voice all the way.

Finally, the in-depth was over; Zheng Hao finally reached the very center of the deepest heart of Asmodeus.

"You actually went so deep here... Peeping at girls' secrets is not enough, even entering the spiritual world casually, you are really bad!!"

Asmodeus, who was wearing casual clothes, looked annoyed at the uninvited guest who broke into his inner world without authorization.

"After knowing my secret, you must feel that I am embarrassed now?! Why do you have to beat around the bush to such an extent, compared to fighting against the White Queen to the end, directly kill me, or sacrifice an untrustworthy Digimon Companion, wouldn't it be better to get the chance to return to the original world?!"

"Unfortunately, the right to decide does not depend on me. Also, I have no interest in your past at all! If it is not forced to satisfy the Black Queen's ideas, how you end up has nothing to do with me! Besides, Galen has no interest at all! I don't want you to die."

Pretending to be indifferent, Zhenghao lectured to Asmodeus in a somewhat impatient tone.

"You actually know very well that you don't like killing people at all, but you always use your own justice as an excuse. Compared with standing firm and unwavering, Sword Emperor Beast has more awareness than you! Go be an ordinary 'Superhero', is it difficult to push the dirty work to someone who is better at it? Your original intention was originally limited to saving more people in a way that didn't take their lives."

"Because you want to be a 'hero', you should take on more responsibilities! You are really a bitch..."

Zhenghao's point of view was denied by Asmodeus. If one's own tasks were more dirty work, it would be too despicable to shirk it to others on the grounds that he did not want to be stained with blood?

"It's because you are too horny! I thought you were so self-righteous, and you were just sticking to rigid ideas. It's time to wake up! No one is a saint or a savior. Even the so-called heroes have their own lives. , your own selfish desires. It was because you cared too much about your own justice that you were unable to reveal your sincerity, and the White Queen took advantage of it and became a lost state."

It is really difficult to convince Asmodeus.

"I'm not lost! I'm wide awake!!!"

It's a dead duck with a hard mouth!

"Besides me, other people care about you. Especially Jia Lun and Jianhuang Beast, they believe in your essence." You who always lend a helping hand to others, why don't you try to accept others reaching out to you? How about a helping hand?'Asmodeus, have you forgotten what Galen said to you?!"

"Of course I haven't forgotten! But I have no other way..."

Asmodeus lowered his head.

"There is a way, as long as the White Queen pays the price. Don't be willful anymore, others are still waiting for me to rescue you."

Better hurry up and get in touch with Asmodeus.With the thought of 'quick fix', Zhenghao walked towards her.

"Do you want to be your companion against the White Queen?"

Asmodeus immediately understood the true intentions of Zhenghao and the others.

"Actually, you've seen her upset for a long time, haven't you?"

Zhenghao asked back.

"Of course, I have always hated that insidious woman. But since there is a deal between me and her, I will not betray her easily..."

"...Hot!! Are you a woman trying to kill me?!"

The scorching fireball flew towards Zhenghao's face, and Zhenghao, who was almost hit by the fireball, took a step back and scolded Zhenghao angrily.

"If you want to achieve your goal, use the simplest rescue method."

Asmodeus, who had a fireball floating out of his palm, showed a serious expression.

"Prove to me your resolve."

What a crazy woman!Sure enough, being attacked is unavoidable, it seems that we can only gamble, and I hope that the magic formula that Hailaier casts on himself will be effective.

"You really underestimate people..."

Squeezing a cold sweat secretly, Zheng Hao walked forward pretending to be calm.

Asmodeus stood where he was, staring at Zhenghao expressionlessly.

"..."

Several fireballs were summoned and flew towards Zhenghao.

(Is she joking?)

Just by simply speeding up, Zhenghao avoided the oncoming fireball.The fireball passing by just made me feel hot.Asmodeus, she didn't intend to really hurt herself at all, in fact, she had been shaken a long time ago.

In order to prove his own ideas, Zhenghao quickened his pace.

The number of fireballs increased, and they hit Zhenghao like raindrops, but before they hit Zhenghao completely, they deliberately avoided him in the end.

This didn't affect Zheng Hao's approach to Asmodeus.

"..."

The motionless Asmodeus was still releasing meaningless fireballs at Zhenghao.

"..."

"........."

Dozens of fireballs hit Zhenghao, and it became more and more obvious to avoid them. Asmodeus, who was a little guilty, turned his eyes away and didn't look at him directly.

Asmodeus stood still and prepared to launch the next attack. Is this battle really meaningful?

As a result, the summoned fireball still avoided Zhenghao. Even if Zhenghao deliberately approached the fireball, the fireball that would have approached him deliberately avoided it as if consciously.

"You're pretty strong, you avoided my fireball..."

The guilty Asmodeus smiled awkwardly.

"My fireball is very strong. If you question it, it will turn into roast meat if you get close."

Totally nonsense.

"You want to get close to me, just to prove you guys are right?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Stepping forward meaninglessly, Zhenghao said calmly.

"You guys, are you really holding on to hope?"

Finally, Asmodeus stopped casting fireballs, she felt the fight was pointless.

"Who knows, but we don't want to go against our will."

Jeongho, who finally got close to Asmodeus, expressed his determination.

"So are you?"

"Anyway, I'm already tired of the life of hunting. For the sake of the dead life, I want to live and save and help more people. Before I met you, I never met a person who remained kind in his heart, or tried to be a kind person. "

Asmodeus sighed softly.

"Since I was summoned to the Moon Sea Labyrinth, everyone I have met is a villain who has lost his reason, or is going to kill others by any means in order to survive. Most of them kill each other in order to survive."

"Because of your appearance, the Moon Sea Labyrinth did not continue to summon other evildoers. For the Moon Sea Labyrinth, you who retain your kindness are simply like stars full of hope."

"Zhenghao, even if you defeat the White Queen, but still can't return to the original world, what will you choose?"

she continued to ask.

"Who knows the future, but I can be sure that the disappeared Lucifero and the Black Queen have already prepared other methods, and defeating the White Queen is a necessary choice. The White Queen must know the way to go back. When the time comes, let her She just tells the truth. I'm pretty confident in my instincts."

Although Zhenghao himself is not sure whether he can return to the original world if he defeats the White Queen, he believes that the White Queen must know the way to go back.

"Accurate intuition is really a useful ability."

Was praised by Asmodeus.

"Okay, I promise you. Heh, it seems that the privilege bestowed on me by the White Queen will disappear because of this. I don't care about it anyway."

"Let's talk about the future. Okay, hold my hand and leave here. Galen is still holding your hot body in pain!"

After confirming that Asmodeus can be a companion, Zheng Hao stretched out his hand to her.It's better to leave the spiritual realm as soon as possible, so that Galen can't suffer anymore.

"It's really long-winded, little bastard! You are urging me because you feel sorry for your sweetheart who continues to suffer!"

Resuming his original momentum, Asmodeus firmly held Zhenghao's hand.It hurts!

"You are so self-indulgent, besides me, Galen is the only human being!"

"Yeah, the only human being who is stronger than you, you five scumbags who rely on women to protect you!"

Under the disgust of one man and one beast, the two left the spiritual realm.

Asmodeus' spiritual shackles have been untied, and the rescue has been successful——

"Thanks for your hard work, Galen, you worked very hard. Are you in good health? Are you not injured?"

Asmodeus, who took off his armor, showed a confident and friendly smile, as well as showing concern for Galen.

"I'm fine. Asmodeus, it's great that you can be freed from the bondage of your mind."

Seeing that the hero he admired was rescued and became a companion, Galen felt sincerely happy.

"Very well, you made the right choice, Asmodeus."

Withdrawing its weapon, the Sword Emperor Beast put down its guard, expressing its trust in Asmodeus.

"That's because the little girl has been crying and begging me to be a companion since she entered my spiritual world. Because of his sincerity, I decided to lend my strength to you to fight against the White Queen together." It's an honor, but not everyone gets the chance to fight alongside superheroes."

Asmodeus smiled proudly.

"Hey! Don't just talk nonsense, doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

Zhenghao protested angrily.

"Speaking of which, how did that 'problem child' disappear?"

When he wanted to say something, Asmodeus found that Halaire, who was supposed to be with everyone, suddenly disappeared...
