Chapter 127 Card Making: Koromon, Unicorn
My name is Agumon, and I come from a world called Digimon.
From the moment I was born in the sea of data, I was just a chaotic light.
Its initial form was a black ball beast without limbs, a pitch-black larva whose only means of self-defense was to exhale weak acidic bubbles from its mouth.
That meager power, insufficient even to scatter a single data leaf, sustained me as I struggled to grow, bit by bit, in the dog-eat-dog digital world.
One day, I encountered a unicorn trying to take over my territory. I wouldn't allow any beast to bully my people, so I fought him.
Perhaps it's a mutual respect between the strong, at least that's what I think. I became friends with the unicorn. He was very shy and timid, but also very brave. Together, he protected the weaker inhabitants of our territory.
The darkness of the digital world never leaves the weak any room to breathe.
The day the evil fire beast descended is a nightmare I can never erase from my life.
Its entire body was engulfed in flames that could destroy everything. Wherever it passed, data turned to ashes, grass became scorched earth, and even the air was distorted by the heat. It had no reason; it simply enjoyed the thrill of slaughter and destruction.
The unicorn and I tried everything to stop us. We blew out all our bubbles and rammed into each other with all our might, but in the face of absolute power, all resistance seemed pale and powerless.
Only the unicorn and I escaped. I'm a coward; I failed to protect them.
I was consumed by self-blame for a long time, not even realizing when I had swallowed a piece of the black gear, but it didn't seem to have any lasting effect.
From that moment on, the unicorn and I became homeless wanderers in the digital world.
We have traversed broken continents, weathered storms of turbulent data flow, and witnessed far too many instances of the strong bullying the weak.
Powerful Digimon wantonly bully the infants, plunder their meager energy, and destroy their last remaining home.
Every time I see it, the suppressed anger in my heart surges wildly—it's hatred for the Flame Beast, rage at my own powerlessness, and loathing for all dark forces.
That anger can uncontrollably transform into a murderous impulse.
I started to become increasingly murderous.
When I encounter vicious beasts that bully the weak, I no longer simply drive them away as before, but instead I mercilessly crush them and make them pay with their lives.
What's wrong with me...?
[Until one day, after I defeated a powerful enemy and hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, a beam of light shot into the sky before me. When the beam disappeared, a Digimon with a silly grin appeared in front of me. He said his name was Ash, and that he was a human, not a Digimon. What does "human" mean?]
[After that, I became his partner with the unicorn, which sounded really cool.]
We fought alongside Ash and defeated my nemesis, Flamemon. Unicorn and I then evolved into Agumon and Gabumon.
[In the end, to fight against the dark forces of Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, the Elite Four, and finally Apocalymon, Gabumon and I evolved into WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, and finally, with Ash's courage, we evolved into Omegamon... The dark forces were eliminated, but why is the black gear inside me still there? What is it for?] (Gabumon's life is similar to Agumon's, so I won't go into detail.)
"call--"
Gu Ye let out a long breath, his face was so pale it was almost transparent, his forehead was covered in fine cold sweat, and even his fingertips were trembling slightly.
The forced injection of a large amount of spiritual energy at once, along with the deduction and construction of two complete Digimon cards, placed an extreme strain on his mental capacity, almost depleting the power deep within his soul.
Deep within his eyes, a faint yet chilling black glint would occasionally flash—a sign of his rapidly escalating corruption level.
"Making two at once was a bit of a stretch... but we managed to finish it successfully."
Gu Ye muttered to himself, raising his hand to rub his throbbing temples, forcibly suppressing the waves of dizziness in his mind.
He knew very well that his method of directly using his own spiritual energy to deduce the memories of living beings and construct cards, while extremely efficient, would cause his corruption value to skyrocket.
"No, we should try to obtain card-making materials from the furnace as much as possible in the future, and we can't keep forcing these deductions."
"The depravity level is fluctuating so drastically, it's too inconvenient and too dangerous."
After making up his mind, Gu Ye slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on his palm.
Two soft yet vibrant lights floated quietly, transforming into two exquisitely patterned cards with unique auras.
The first card depicts a round, pink baby beast.

"Ash's deck is only missing Magikarp."
Gu Ye's spiritual energy surged into two cards.
Two small figures came into view.
Koromon is a pink, spherical Digimon.
It has a round body, a pair of long, soft ears on its head, big, round, bright red eyes, and sharp teeth in its mouth.
It looks very cute overall, like a pink ball that rolls around.
Unicorns are small mammalian Digimon that resemble rabbits in appearance.
Its body is covered with soft, light blue or white fur, and it has a horn on its head that has hardened from a tentacle and is covered with orange fur.
Its eyes are large and round, usually black or red, its ears are long and erect, its limbs are short, and its tail is also relatively short.
"Chirp~"
"Woo~"
The two little creatures hopped and skipped in Gu Ye's arms.
Gu Ye held one in each hand, and they felt completely different to the touch: one was furry, and the other was smooth and tender.
"Knock knock~ Gu Ye, open the door quickly."
She pounded on the door and shouted loudly.
