"A Clump actually ran into the outpost? Is this place really that dangerous?"
At this moment, Yang Tao also realized that the power of firearms seemed to be greatly suppressed. He originally thought that his M500, with only 15 points of damage, was unworthy of its title as 'most powerful'.
But now, seeing that submachine gun bullets could only injure but not penetrate the Clump, he understood just how abnormal his weapon was to the native inhabitants of the Backrooms.
At this moment, Eric also ran out of the restaurant, looked at the Clump below, and asked, "What in the world is that thing?"
Most Entities look very abstract; even a Skin Stealer, when wearing human skin, gives off an unnatural feeling.
"Clumps, they look exactly as You see them. Compared to Smilers and Human-Faced Dogs—uh, I mean, Hounds—they are relatively rare Entities."
The Clump's defense was indeed good, but it couldn't withstand the sheer number of people around it. Soon, the creature was riddled with holes.
"Eric, I'm leaving first. I feel like the people here are in more danger if I stay."
He suspected that this lone Clump was attracted by his passive ability, so for the safety of B.N.T.G. and Eric, he decided to be a lone wolf in the Backrooms.
After leaving the B.N.T.G. outpost, Yang Tao found a safe location and returned to the Main World.
Looking at the Main World, where he was the only one, made Yang Tao recall the days when he survived alone in this space.
"It's much better now; at least there are still so many animals!"
He glanced at the wooden door leading to the Digital World and thought of Village of Beginnings.
"Perfect. I'll take this opportunity to go to File Island and search for Village of Beginnings to see if I can adopt a Digimon."
Village of Beginnings is the home of Digimon in the Digital World. All Digimon that die return to Village of Beginnings as data streams and become a Digimon egg. (Note 1)
He walked to the wooden door and pushed it open.
A completely dark world appeared before him, just like the void world he had discovered earlier in Level 2.
"???"
"What's going on? Where's my Digital World?"
This scene made him a bit unable to accept it for a moment, and he couldn't help but worry about Kari's safety.
He extended his hand through the wooden door, his gaze fixed on his health bar. After confirming there were no issues, he poked his head through to look at the world inside.
"There's even oxygen?"
This discovery greatly surprised him. He took some cobblestones from his backpack and, using the wooden door as an anchor, paved a path into the void.
As soon as he stepped in, he noticed that the originally pitch-black world suddenly gained color, and the ground gradually appeared in his line of sight.
"???"
This short period of time left him bewildered twice. Suddenly, he thought of something, sharply looked up at the sky, and sure enough, he vaguely saw some figures high above.
"It's already the grand finale in one day??"
These weren't eight chosen children; these were outright Digimon killers! In just one day, the eight children had defeated the Dark Masters—Piedmon, Puppetmon, Machinedramon, MetalSeadramon—and all their subordinates!
Even if Gennai gave You piece-rate wages, You shouldn't be working this hard...
While Yang Tao was still sighing, his surroundings had returned to normal. Everything he could see before had become lush and green.
At this moment, some giant toys appeared in his view not far away.
"Village of Beginnings? I've searched for it a thousand times, only to find the beast where the lights are dim!"
According to Gennai, File Island is the core of the entire Digital World, so when the world restarts, this is the first place to recover.
Therefore, it was only natural for Yang Tao's wooden door to appear at the core of File Island.
As Yang Tao walked towards Village of Beginnings, the ground quickly changed. The original grass transformed into soft, wool-woven patches of land.
Stepping on it could even make a person bounce.
However, Village of Beginnings was empty at this moment; there were no people, not even Digimon. But Yang Tao wasn't worried, because he would never forget what was about to happen next.
After about half an hour, many white and black light spots appeared in the sky, then condensed into colorful Digimon eggs that descended from above.
All the Digimon that had died throughout the entire Digital World at this moment returned to Village of Beginnings on File Island, becoming Digimon eggs and beginning new lives.
The Digimon eggs in the sky rapidly fell, bouncing twice upon landing on the soft ground. Some even collided with each other, but the durability of the Digimon eggs exceeded Yang Tao's imagination; the eggs that collided didn't even crack, leaving no trace.
"Uncle!"
Kari's voice rang out from behind Yang Tao. Yang Tao turned his head to see Kari and a group of chosen children, along with the Old Man, walking towards Village of Beginnings.
Seeing Kari, Yang Tao smiled, walked over, and patted Kari's head, saying with a smile, "Kari, congratulations on saving the Digital World."
Kari didn't mind Yang Tao patting her head. She tilted her head slightly, looked at Yang Tao, and asked,
"Mm-hmm, Uncle, why did You come to Village of Beginnings?"
"Didn't I want a Digimon before? I just arrived and found that You had defeated Apocalymon. I really didn't expect You to act so quickly."
Kari's small face flushed slightly, and she nodded gently, saying, "With so many Digimon eggs, I wonder what kind of Digimon Uncle wants?"
"I want a Light-type Digimon, like Kari's Digimon or Takeru's Patamon, because their power is very suitable for dispelling darkness."
Saying this, Yang Tao looked towards Gennai.
"Mr. Xuannei, I wonder if You can help me find a Tailmon egg for Tailmon or Patamon?"
Gennai had been observing Yang Tao, his heart filled with curiosity about Yang Tao's origins. Why would a seemingly ordinary adult male suddenly appear in the Digital World?
And judging by the children's reactions, they all seemed to know this man.
"Yuramon eggs are easy to distinguish; Tailmon eggs with yellow stripes are Yuramon. As for Snow Ball Beast, which evolves into Tailmon, it's a variant of Black Ball Beast and extremely rare."
"Even if You get a Yuramon or Snow Ball Beast, it's extremely difficult to raise them into Patamon and Tailmon, as their growth environment will greatly affect them."
"Also, one more thing, young man, who are You?"
Yang Tao looked at Gennai with a smile and said, "Me? I'm just a young man whose dreams have been shattered. My name is Yang Tao, Mr. Xuannei. Would it be convenient for You to teach me some methods for raising Yuramon?"
"In exchange, I can try to see if I can restore You to your original form."
(According to the setting, reborn Tailmon retain memories from before their rebirth, but I've set it so they don't, completely reformatting. )
(Otherwise, the Dark Masters, who were just defeated, would now be hiding in Tailmon eggs with their previous memories; just thinking about it is exciting...)
(Takeru's Angemon is a special case and counted separately...)
