[Ding! Taichi's darkening progress has reached 50%. Reward the host with the Yggdrasil Seed.]
[Ding! Planting the Yggdrasil Seed can generate a nascent Digital Plane in this world. Requires subsequent investment of substantial digital resources for the Digital World to grow and sprout.]
[Ding! The consciousness of the Yggdrasil Seed will regard the host as its absolute master, bound for life, never to rebel.]
Just as Taichi's state of mind transformed and he made his decision, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Hattori's mind.
"Yggdrasil Seed? The reward is this generous this time?!"
As the host of the Digital World, the source of everything, Yggdrasil could be called the greatest antagonist in the Digimon Series.
If its development wasn't suppressed, it would expand infinitely, even intervening in reality.
In the Digimon World, 'Homeostasis' existed as a restriction, curbing its expansion.
But in Hattori's world, he was the absolute master of Yggdrasil, not subjected to the limitations of Homeostasis!
"As long as sufficient digital resources are obtained, the Yggdrasil Seed can grow boundlessly. Affecting reality is just a matter of time."
Hattori couldn't contain his inner ecstasy and laughed out loud.
Compared to directly boosting strength, the Yggdrasil Seed was like giving him a cheat device with limitless potential.
Just imagine…
An army of tens of millions of Digimon sweeping forward, including top-tier powerhouses like the Royal Knights and the Seven Great Demon Lords…
In this parallel world, where couldn't they dominate?
"Master, did you encounter another happy event? You're laughing so joyfully."
"Lilamon is willing to perform a dance for Master to enhance your mood."
Beside Hattori, Angewomon and Lilamon stood on either side, greeting him with soft voices, their faces slightly flushed.
"Haha, it truly is a momentous happy event. Yggdrasil, show yourself to them."
Hattori laughed heartily and snapped his fingers.
[Ding! Constructing humanoid form.]
[Ding! Construction complete.]
As the Yggdrasil Seed in his mind emitted a mechanical voice, the next moment, a cute little lolita in a white dress, exquisitely beautiful, appeared before the three of them.
"Such an adorable little girl! Master, where did you find such a cute girl?"
Angewomon's eyes turned into hearts as she quickly pulled Yggdrasil into her embrace, giving her a good squeeze.
"Warning! Ultimate-level Digimon, cease your offensive behavior. Otherwise, I will initiate a digital attack to destroy your data."
However, the little girl in white being held by Angewomon remained expressionless.
Her delicate pink lips parted slightly as she spoke in a mechanically cold voice.
"Yggdrasil, these two are your secondary masters. Set them as non-attackable targets."
[Ding! Settings complete.]
Data streamed through Yggdrasil's eyes, and she immediately obediently lowered her head, allowing Angewomon to pet her.
Lilamon, standing to the side, timidly asked,
"Master, who is this girl?"
"Her name is Yggdrasil. You can understand her as the host of the Digital World. With her, we can open up a Digital Plane in this world as well."
Hattori patted Yggdrasil's head and explained with a smile.
"Yggdrasil?!"
Angewomon and Lilamon simultaneously widened their eyes, their small mouths agape in shock.
In their impression, the Mega level was already an incredible existence.
As the host of the Digital World, the Yggdrasil that ruled over everything was a deity they didn't even dare to imagine!
"I... I just squeezed Yggdrasil's face?"
Angewomon looked at her own fair and delicate hands, utterly stunned.
"No need to be so surprised. Right now, Yggdrasil is just a seed. Her self-defense capabilities aren't strong, and at most, her attack methods are a bit more complex. Even so, ordinary Mega-level Digimon aren't her match."
Hattori had information about Yggdrasil in his mind and spoke calmly.
Yggdrasil, even in seed form, was the bane of all data.
The way Yggdrasil generated Digimon originated from the vast data of the network world.
For example, if the nascent Yggdrasil connected to the network and captured a large amount of data related to 'fire', she would generate fire-type Digimon of varying levels based on the total data volume.
The more complex the data types and the larger the data volume, the stronger the generated Digimon would be.
For Digimon of the level of the Royal Knights, the Seven Great Demon Lords, or the Dark Masters…
It would require at least a week's worth of network data from an entire city, filtered and integrated, to generate them.
"Master, a data network has been detected. Connect to the network?"
After a brief adaptation, Yggdrasil immediately began fulfilling her role. Data fluctuations flashed in her eyes as she asked mechanically.
"Connect to the local area network for now. I haven't figured out the details of this world yet. If there are data-type Espers, it could be dangerous."
Hattori commanded softly.
"Yes."
Data fluctuated before Yggdrasil's eyes, a white light flashed, and she had already connected to the local area network.
The process of learning and digesting through the network required a long time.
During this period, the Yggdrasil Seed had to ensure the host's absolute safety.
Otherwise, all efforts would be wasted, and they would have to start over.
"By the way, I haven't given you a name yet. Emmmm... You are a reward from the Darkening Chat Group, and you are the nascent form of a brand-new Yggdrasil. How about 'Kurai'?" (T/N: The original name is New World Dark Child, which sound very strange, so I changed it to Kurai, which means Dark in Japanese.)
Hattori snapped his fingers, his eyes lighting up.
