The Wall Project…
…A defensive barrier based on the defensive program left by Datamon, built between the Real World and the Digital World to block the Dark Army's invasion.
The plan itself wasn't complicated—the tricky part was executing it.
Datamon's program required massive resources, needing multiple relay servers…
These servers would not only aggregate, filter, and integrate billions of scattered data fragments in cyberspace, but also possess the capacity to instantly input and output immense volumes of data.
Few organizations worldwide could set up such infrastructure on short notice, but luckily Zero had the support of a group willing to pour near-limitless resources into it.
With the full backing of the Kamishiro Group, Zero personally experienced what true capitalist power looked like…
A single command mobilized manpower and resources on a global scale, deploying vast amounts of funding and personnel. Within half a day, the first batch of experimental servers had already been successfully assembled.
Since these were just prototypes and not the final product, the current server before Zero's team occupied nearly half a basketball court in size…
Director Suedou stood calmly before this towering behemoth, his notebook connected directly to the mainframe as he swiftly typed various commands, entirely absorbed in his work.
"Good, everything is running exactly as planned—hmm?"
Yet when Director Suedou was about to formally activate the server, he raised an eyebrow slightly.
"What's wrong?" asked Rina, noticing the unusual expression on his face.
Director Suedou chuckled and shook his head. "…We're being attacked~ Well, I suppose it's not surprising, but considering the scale of the attack and the peculiar method of intrusion… this is clearly the work of Digimon!"
The newly built server was already under attack, and the scale of the assault was alarming—clearly intended to completely destroy the server immediately.
Obviously, their enemies had figured out Zero's intentions. If Zero succeeded in building this wall, even if it didn't entirely thwart their plans, it would seriously hinder the Dark Army's invasion.
At this critical juncture, neither side could allow the other to disrupt their plans.
It was easy to foresee that the Dark Army would launch frantic attacks, desperately hoping to destroy the "Wall" before its completion.
"Well then, I suppose it's our turn to step up, right?" Rina cracked her knuckles, eyes shining with anticipation, while Taichi and Hikari nodded gravely beside her.
The Kamishiro Group would handle server construction and building the Wall itself. Naturally, protecting the servers until the Wall was fully established fell to Zero and his team.
"Everyone ready?"
Rina quickly tapped her Digivice twice, aiming it at the massive mainframe.
"…Log-in jump!"
Brilliant light enveloped everyone, converting their bodies into data streams and transferring them into the mainframe. Already experienced with the process, the group momentarily felt weightless, arriving in the familiar cyberspace.
Rina remained outside as the anchor point, coordinating support as necessary, while everyone else entered cyberspace directly.
"They're already here…"
Upon entering cyberspace, Zero raised his head and saw a dense swarm of dark figures in the distance.
Although the enemy couldn't yet directly invade the Real World, after several experiments, the Dark Army had clearly become extremely efficient at sending forces into cyberspace.
Facing an enemy numbering in the high triple-digits, approaching four-digit territory, was intimidating yet also thrilling.
"Everyone…" Zero raised his claw high, standing at the forefront of the group. "…Let's go!"
"Oh!"
Lights flashed brilliantly: Gatomon evolved into Angewomon, and Hajime evolved into Garurumon, fully equipped with jet-wings and grenade launchers.
Since Kimeramon's form wasn't sustainable for long, Hajime kept it as a hidden trump card for critical moments.
Those two evolutions went off without issue, but then Rina ignited her DigiSoul, and Taichi tightly grasped the Tag embedded with the Crest of Courage. At that moment, Zero faced a rather serious dilemma…
…Uh, so which buff am I supposed to take?
Taichi and Rina obviously realized the same issue, causing an awkward pause.
"Maybe…" Rina thought for two seconds, before boldly suggesting, "…why don't we try stacking the buffs?"
"?!" Taichi froze for a second, but then, on second thought, it wasn't impossible. Immediately, Rina clenched her fist, causing DigiSoul to burst from her body, while Taichi's Tag rapidly glowed bright orange-red.
"Go for it, Zero!"
AGUMON... WARP DIGIVOLUTION!!!
Under the blazing DigiSoul, the Crest of Courage shone brilliantly, and just as Rina expected, Zero's connection to both Taichi and herself allowed him to simultaneously benefit from both buffs.
Thus, WarGreymon emerged, fully engulfed in burning DigiSoul and the shining Crest of Courage, radiating flames of pure power.
"Amazing… I can clearly feel power surging within me!"
Facing the tidal wave of enemy Digimon, Zero gently swung his Dramon Killers, unleashing three razor-sharp beams of light. With that first strike serving as the battle's trumpet call, Zero, Hajime, and Angewomon charged fearlessly into the enemy ranks.
"Bring it on!!"
Although greatly outnumbered, Angewomon benefited from the Crest's buff and had a type advantage against the Dark Army—essentially forming a one-woman team capable of healing, crowd control, and damage-dealing.
Hajime was technically Champion-level, but the strength of her DigiCore was already at the Ultimate-level. Unfortunately, her Ultimate evolution line was locked to Kimeramon, preventing standard super-evolution.
Unlike Zero, who could freely switch evolution lines, Hajime was restricted to just one. Kimeramon was incredibly powerful, approaching Mega-level strength, but stamina remained an issue…
Thus, she typically preferred remaining in Garurumon form for regular battles…
Essentially, she was an Ultimate-level disguised as a Champion, equipped with replicated MetalGarurumon gear. Plus, with Rina activating the Crest of Friendship, her current combat strength had effectively reached peak Ultimate-level.
Even without a Crest, Rina once unleashed four Crests simultaneously, fueled by File Island's Digimon, clearly demonstrating her frightening potential.
Now equipped with the Crest of Friendship and a Digivice, she could reliably activate Crest powers…
…Although not yet able to fully break through the Mega barrier, it was just a matter of repeated attempts and the right timing.
And then there was Zero… double-buffed by Taichi and Rina, and previously blessed by the Light of Evolution, he was practically the embodiment of cheating…
Honestly, even without the other two, Zero could've soloed this wave of Dark Army cannon fodder himself.
As the two sides clashed, ultimate moves filled the air chaotically, the entire battlefield awash with dazzling special effects.
If this battle were happening in the Real World, Japan would have been wiped clean off the map. Zero alone had enough power to sink continents. How could the Real World possibly withstand this bunch of digital demigods?
Luckily, cyberspace had no such constraints—everything was composed purely of data… As long as the host computer's storage was sufficient, theoretically the battlefield could infinitely expand…
Thus, Zero freely unleashed his full strength, escalating the battle rapidly…
Once Machinedramon's Metal Empire forces joined the Dark Army ranks, missiles immediately began filling the sky. The battlefield suddenly resembled a modern war zone, complete with a torrent of artillery and gunfire.
Even the Metal Empire's Champion-level Tankmon were loaded with heavy weaponry, featuring devastating "Hyper Cannons" as their primary attack. Above Champion-level, their forces spanned air, land, and sea alike.
Currently deployed was a Metal Empire ground battalion composed primarily of Tankmon and reinforced by several Ultimate-level Tankdramon…
Tankdramon, Virus-type, Cyborg Digimon, Ultimate-level…
Standard mass-produced ground combat unit of the Metal Empire, equipped with nuclear warhead-launching main cannons ("Striver Cannon") and secondary rapid-fire "Blast Gatling," firing 3600 rounds per second…
Just one Tankdramon had firepower equal to an entire armored division, and the Metal Empire routinely deployed battalions numbering in double-digits…
…And these damned things were mass-produced.
This battalion alone transformed the battlefield into a roaring meat grinder, clearly exemplifying the Metal Empire's proud doctrine…
…Caliber is justice, firepower is truth, and fairness and morality only exist within effective firing range!
Shining with the Crest of Courage's defensive aura, Zero charged straight through nuclear mushroom clouds into enemy lines. He quickly clasped his hands together, gathering a blazing sphere of energy.
Raising his hands above his head, that sphere instantly expanded into a brilliant golden sun—WarGreymon's ultimate attack…
…Terra Force!
Rina watched the battle unfold from outside, while Taichi and Hikari, directly commanding from within, felt the overwhelming intensity of total war firsthand.
But beyond them, another pair of eyes watched all this through a distant screen…
"…What… in the world is this? Wait… is that… Taichi?!"
