That also was nowhere close to a big enough boost to be a cheat code.

Just added one plus to the talents of each of our physical stats.

Cheat code would be more if everything got upped by an entire letter.

True, it's still enough to put Verge in reach of actually achieving Evolution before he bursts though, especially since previous progress was explicitly not lost.
 
Something very interesting I noted after rereading the update, Verge had a sudden overwhelming urge to attack/crack open the root. But the mind behind the root was clearly not expecting us...

So where did that impulse come from?
 
[X] No. Despite everything that's happened you can't say you fully trust Scratch, not like how you trust Sparks anyway. You'll keep this to yourself,

[X][Social Option] Now that you've met Angemon, you have a better idea of why Pidmon is like… well, how he is. Maybe you could ask about how they met and why he wants to be like the bigger angel?
 
[X] No. Despite everything that's happened you can't say you fully trust Scratch, not like how you trust Sparks anyway. You'll keep this to yourself,
[X][Social Option] Try to talk to Scratch again. You're curious about what the heck happened between him and Angewomon. He's an ultimate too isn't he? Why did she act like that towards him?

[X][Social Option] Talk to Sparks again, your friend seems to have recovered from what happened, and after what happened you kind of want to talk to him.

So I'm gonna assume that maybe this eldritch abomination of a tree isn't so nice...

...:o:o:o

How many forces/entities/irregularities are playing tug-of-war with Verge's body and soul!?

Well let's see he was made by a DL, Daemon, as payment for a deal with a magical digimon, has a mixed core of virus and vaccine, survivor of the experiment, reincarnated with said core still functional, possesses Wrath attributes and now has met Yggy who has gone full I AM mode.

He is also working for The Host

All this as a rookie

Clearly someone told one of Verge's past lives 'May you live in Interesting Times'.

[X] Yes. Perhaps the Sergeant can help you figure out what the heck happened? Maybe he can at least help you confirm that it wasn't a fantasy?
Sarge is the most knowledgeable around at the time, and if we can't trust our CO then who can we trust? if anyone would know anything about this matter, it'd be him. if Sparks knew anything, I'd go to him. but we don't have an option to consult him on this.

... Holy crap. If that wasn't Yggy then I don't know what it is. It definitely fell under the auspices of being a World Tree. Another thing to consider is that if that were the Spirit of Wood in some form, it would have likely a) had recognizable digicode on it, b) manifested as AncientTroiamon during the vision and c) been able to communicate verbally rather through very rough basic concepts without hurting Verge. I doubt it was a seed though. Perhaps more like a data packet or sensor nodule? Also makes me wonder if there might be one of those hidden in the mines back home... And if something similar is what's beefing up the mon all along the Hazard Coast.

I'm of two minds about Scratch, because as much as he's part of the Host he also seems to be very pragmatic, and I get the feeling that he's there more because he has nowhere else to go that can give him the same opportunity to save lives and guide younger mon that they do, than any actual zealotry or loyalty. If there were such an organization, I daresay that he'd jump ship with no issue. But right now we still don't know him well enough to share something this bizarre. We definitely need to use the scanner in the gym when we get back though, or ask Frigimon if she can give us another scan.

Well we know that Daemon was involved in our creation somehow... Maybe he slipped something into the mix as an anti-Yggdrasil measure? Though something to keep in mind guys. This is a very young digital world, relatively speaking. So far as we are aware, there are no Royal Knights. Yggdrasil has no voice here, so it wouldn't know how to modulate itself to speak to the mon of this particular server. Think of it like a Cray Supercomputer attempting to communicate with a Raspberry Pi. Only the absolute simplest concepts could be handled by the Pi, making the Cray seem like an eldritch uncaring being.

Another thing to note is that all the talents that got a bonus were the physical stats, which appear to be the measure by which a mon's data limits are set, at least how it seems to me. So it could be that yes, our rather than shortening our window for digivolution, Yggdrasil extended it, because so far we're the first mon that actually made contact with it from this server, and with no other choice, it did the best it could to extend our lifespan enough to survive, in order to maintain that connection. I wouldn't be surprised if we start having new sorts of dreams.
 
Well that happened. My digimon lore is kinda scant, having only really gotten interested in the setting due to this quest and a few retrospective videos that never covered Yggdrasil. Looking at the wiki... did we just encounter an aspect of the freaking server?

[X] Yes. Perhaps the Sergeant can help you figure out what the heck happened? Maybe he can at least help you confirm that it wasn't a fantasy?
[X][Social Option] Now that you've met Angemon, you have a better idea of why Pidmon is like… well, how he is. Maybe you could ask about how they met and why he wants to be like the bigger angel?


I think I'll put mine in agility.

It's entirely possible. Going back to the first post, Yggdrasil extends to and interacts with all digital world servers as a whole, branching off new ones whenever it needs a new place to dump data.

Talent Changes: (Note: Previous progress Not lost)

Strength: E->E+ (2.5X)
Fortitude: E->E+ (2.5X)
Endurance: E->E+ (2.5X)
Agility: F++->F+++ (1.75X)
Hey! This means we can get Agility up to E if we give it some training focus when we get back! Provided we don't get a chance to increase it in the interim I mean.

It's also a sizeable increase to how much stats we can gain before hitting the second tier of softcaps, and a very large buff to the rate at which our stats will increase between evolution to Champion and reaching our Champion softcaps.

I think.Since by default, what would happen to Verge is exploding as the size of his data exceeded his rookie chassis' ability to contain, likely before he managed to grind his way up to force an evolution anyway.
Yep... poor Verge.

It almost makes me wonder if their would have been some clear signs beyond Verge just getting bigger as he got closer to exploding, like a loss of stability or some such.

You make it sounds like that problem is entirely gone now. Heh.

True enough.

Verge by all rights is a big outlier, stabilizing something like that probably isn't easy in the slightest.

Also a part of me wonders how much a creatures attitude or general disposition affects their combat capabilities. I mean at this point Verge is probably much less cowardly than the average Drimogemon or at least has a better handle on it, so I'd imagine if it were for the raw stat differences between champions and rookies he'd be generally the better one to have in a fight, unless of course the other Drimogemen is also an outlier in attitude, but that beast the point of calling em average to begin with

If that is Yggdrasil will be interested in seeing how it goes. Yggdrasil can be odd and think is often poorly handled in series where it usually is an errant "lawful stupid" AI. The best portrayal of it as a villain was probably DATS/Savers where humans actually tried to wipe out the digital world so it has an excuse and worst was probably Tri where like many things it was never explained or handled well. Only really positive portrayal is in Next where spends the entire time as the damsel in distress.
