Time passed, and circumstances changed.
It had only been a few short months.
Yet this guy.
Had gone from the weak state he had been in when he had just hatched.
To evolving into such a powerful existence.
It was simply unimaginable.
Himeko recalled every little moment she had shared with Shiko in the past.
Then she looked again at that figure in the sky.
In a daze.
She felt that everything was so dreamlike it did not seem real.
In the sky.
Shiko, who was overlooking the entire planet.
Suddenly sensed something in his heart.
His gaze turned toward a certain place.
After passing through layer upon layer of space.
It landed on Himeko.
Looking at this delicate and beautiful girl.
Shiko's thoughts stirred.
He could not help but remember all the things that had happened between him and her.
Back then.
He had still been a weak Pokémon who needed to rely on this Trainer to exist.
Yet even he himself had never expected.
That in these few short months.
He would grow to such a height.
He had even.
Killed the supreme existence that had occupied this universe and ruled it for countless ages.
Replacing him.
And becoming the new master of this universe.
Shiko felt somewhat emotional inside.
A faint ripple also appeared in his eyes.
But very soon, he adjusted his emotions.
After giving Himeko a slight nod.
His figure flashed.
He turned into a white meteor that tore across the sky.
In the end, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Right now, he still had his own matters to handle.
Now that he had fully mastered the complete authority of creation.
Shiko was naturally impatient to create Digimon in this world.
In the blink of an eye, he landed.
The place he chose was naturally the Dragon Valley, which he was familiar with.
The moment Shiko landed.
He keenly captured every single aura within this valley.
Following his arrival.
Those Dragon-type Pokémon who had been powerful and violent in the past.
Even those race leaders who occupied their own mountain peaks, the Elite Four-level Dragon-type Pokémon.
After sensing Shiko's aura.
All trembled in fear.
They curled up inside their own nests and did not even dare raise their heads.
This was complete suppression from the soul and bloodline.
In fact.
As long as Shiko gave them an order.
Even if he ordered them to kill themselves on the spot.
They would not hesitate in the slightest.
Although these Pokémon had been created by Arceus and not by Shiko.
Now that he had mastered the authority of a Creator God.
He possessed the same power over life and death.
Shiko was quite satisfied with these Pokémon's reactions.
After sweeping his gaze around.
He arrived at the depths of Dragon Valley.
It was the mountain range where Regidrago had previously been sealed.
After entering that cave.
Shiko calmed down.
And began comprehending the power of the World Origin that he had previously absorbed.
Very soon.
Under his analysis and understanding.
He immediately knew what he had to do.
He had to use this power to create his own Digimon.
This was a process of creating something from nothing.
Compared to before.
When he transformed Pokémon into Digimon.
This was far more difficult.
The difficulty between the two was like heaven and earth.
In Shiko's hand.
A white mass of energy slowly appeared.
It was the most fundamental Origin Energy.
It could derive and develop into all kinds of attributes.
Thanks to this characteristic.
It was the most suitable.
As the basic energy of a lifeform.
And for shaping a lifeform from nothing.
Shiko closed his eyes.
Under the guidance of his consciousness.
He began shaping this mass of energy.
It was as if there were a pair of invisible giant hands.
Kneading this mass of energy.
A moment later.
The originally pure white mass of energy.
Had completely changed its shape.
Even its color had changed slightly.
It turned black.
A mass of pitch-black energy.
Under the kneading of those invisible giant hands.
Not only changed color.
But also faintly formed a pair of pale yellow eyes.
At first glance.
It looked like an entirely new, unknown Pokémon.
Some more time passed.
Only after this black sphere had fully taken form.
Did the movements of that pair of invisible giant hands finally stop.
Shiko slowly opened his eyes.
Now.
The mass of energy that had originally been before him.
Had already changed completely.
The original white mass of energy.
Had become a black sphere.
On its surface was a pair of large yellow eyes.
At a glance, it looked like an adorable little creature.
Yes.
What Shiko had shaped was indeed a brand-new creature.
A Digimon, just like him.
Botamon!
It was the most basic Baby-stage form in his WarGreymon evolution line.
Now.
Botamon's body had been shaped.
But!
It was still only an object.
It did not have the slightest life aura yet.
Next came the most important step.
That was turning this dead object into a living being!
This was Shiko's first attempt.
He was somewhat nervous.
And somewhat expectant.
Taking a deep breath.
Shiko's expression became solemn.
His gaze focused.
Through the authority of creation.
He connected himself to the Botamon before him.
In his consciousness.
The clear outline of Botamon appeared at once.
It was a mass of pure energy.
Not a single fluctuation of life aura could be sensed from it.
