What Himeko did not know was that, roughly fifty kilometers away, Shiko was standing on a high mountain peak.
He quietly watched her figure.
Only after Himeko strode forward without hesitation did he slowly withdraw his gaze.
He truly wondered.
In her hands, just how far would Tanemon be raised?
Shiko was quite interested in this matter.
After all, Tanemon was one of the first Digimon he had created.
It was also the first one to leave the Digimon homeland and be taken into the outside world.
He was looking forward to it.
He looked forward to seeing the expressions of the Alliance's humans when they saw this new little one.
He was also looking forward to the day when Tanemon fully grew up.
When it displayed its formidable strength, what kind of shocked expressions would appear on their faces?
Originally, he had the ability to directly make his Digimon instantly grow to the point of possessing Legendary-level combat power.
But if he did that, would there not be no joy in raising them?
That was why he had chosen to let Himeko take this little one outside.
To let it live in the outside world for a while.
Naturally, Himeko could not understand Shiko's thoughts.
She only felt that Shiko might have seen her curiosity and fondness toward Digimon.
That was why he had chosen one and given it to her.
Very quickly, she returned to the Alliance headquarters.
She returned to her own residence.
Before she even had time to properly look at Tanemon, she received a message.
The Alliance headquarters had received news of her return.
So, at the first possible moment, all the higher-ups gathered.
They prepared to hold an emergency meeting.
As for the contents of the meeting, there was no need to even think about it.
It would naturally be about her trip to Dragon Valley this time.
One hour later.
Inside the headquarters' main conference room.
This time, every single high-ranking member of the entire Alliance had arrived.
Even some people who had been out carrying out missions had now returned.
For no other reason than because they wanted to personally hear, with their own ears, exactly what kind of attitude and view Shiko, this new Creator God, had toward humanity.
After all the higher-ups took their seats in the conference room, several minutes passed.
Just as they were about to lose their patience, Himeko slowly arrived at the venue.
The moment she appeared, she instantly attracted everyone's eyes and attention.
The originally somewhat noisy and restless venue instantly fell silent.
Everyone's gazes all turned toward her in unison.
Not one of them looked away for even a moment.
Feeling so many eager gazes on her, Himeko could not help quickening her steps.
Then she pulled out her chair and took the main seat.
After she sat down, no one spoke immediately.
They still kept their gazes fixed tightly on her.
Being stared at so intensely by so many pairs of eyes, Himeko immediately felt a chill run through her whole body.
She hurriedly shared the result she had obtained with everyone.
"I have already asked about the question everyone was concerned about."
"Regarding how he views us…"
"His answer was…"
"The same as before."
"In other words, we can still live together with Pokémon harmoniously, just like we did in the past."
After Himeko said this, everyone present let out a long breath of relief.
The oppressive atmosphere inside the room was also relieved quite a bit at once.
Quite a few people pressed their hands to their chests.
Relaxed smiles appeared on their previously tense faces.
In truth, everyone had been afraid.
They were afraid that this being, who seemed to love battle, might set off the flames of war across this planet.
The human world had only just completed its full unification not long after the war had ended.
Right now, they were truly afraid of fighting breaking out again.
Everyone wanted to recover, rebuild, and live a stable life while developing properly.
Now that they had heard the answer they had hoped for, they naturally felt much more relaxed.
"Then what about the second question? How did he answer that?"
Once the first question was resolved, the atmosphere eased quite a bit.
Someone took the initiative to ask.
"The second question…"
Himeko paused at this point.
For a moment, everyone's gazes turned toward her again.
"His answer was…"
"That kind of thing will never happen."
"In other words, he will warn the Legendary Pokémon that live on this planet."
"He will not allow them to destroy the human world."
Himeko narrowed her smiling eyes and spoke with an earnest expression.
After she finished speaking, the room fell silent for a brief moment.
Immediately afterward, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted.
"Long live!"
"That's wonderful!"
"We can relax now! We can finally relax!"
Every single person's face bloomed with a brilliant smile.
There was nothing that could make them happier than this news.
Because this answer represented one thing.
For a very long time into the future, humanity would be able to safely survive and develop on this planet.
This!
This was what everyone had dreamed of!
After obtaining the information they wanted to know, the Alliance higher-ups who had attended this meeting finally felt the heavy stone in their hearts fall to the ground.
And because they were infected by this cheerful atmosphere, someone present brought up a suggestion.
"Why don't we hold a Pokémon League Conference this year?"
"This time, let every Trainer in the entire Alliance sign up and participate!"
"Let's hold an unprecedented all-region Pokémon Conference!"
The moment this idea was proposed, it quickly received everyone's approval.
In their eyes, nothing could better represent a shared celebration across the whole Alliance than holding an unprecedented, grand-scale Trainer Conference.
"Then the rewards for this Conference should be even more generous!"
"That's right, that's right! The event should also last a little longer!"
"Mm. We also need to build an even larger venue!"
"The promotion must also be done properly!"
Everyone began speaking one after another, offering suggestions and plans.
The focus of this meeting instantly shifted to this topic.
And just then…
Someone suddenly spoke up again.
