Hu Tao:Another mission? Can I go this time? Please? I'm just one mission away from becoming a Level 2 member.
Keqing:Tao-tao, that depends on the mission. After all, there are some missions where you'd be of no use.
The group's missions were random. Some were difficult, some were simple.
However, if they could encounter a mission like the Fire Qilin one, which allowed them to obtain items from another world, that would naturally be the best.
Mona:If it's a suitable mission, I can complete it as well!
[Ding! Mission cooldown has ended. A new Multiverse Mission is now being issued!]
[Mission]: Help the DigiDestined defeat the giant Devimon.
[Difficulty]: ★★★☆☆ (3-Star)
[Time Limit]: Fifteen minutes to accept.
[Hint]: On File Island, Devimon has absorbed all the Black Gears and become a giant. Please defeat this terrifying monster before the children fail.
[Note]: If the countdown ends before the mission is accepted, it will be considered automatically forfeited.
Kaedehara Kazuha:Devi-mon? DigiDestined? What are those?
Keqing:I don't really understand either. Su Han, you should probably explain. It seems this is another mission that won't be simple.
At that moment, Su Han himself was shocked. A mission like this can even appear? Isn't this the world of Digimon Adventure?!
Su Han:This mission is simple in one way, but difficult in another. This giant Devimon can be understood as a fallen, dark entity. If you were to fight it head-on, you would have to face a being the size of a mountain. Its weakness is its slow movement.
Ningguang:And if we don't fight it head-on? Is there another way?
Su Han:There is! Among the DigiDestined, there is a child named T.K. whose Digimon is Patamon. As long as this Digimon can awaken and digivolve, it can become Angemon. And Angemon is Devimon's natural enemy. At the same time, this Angemon is very special. It can absorb the power of light. As long as it gathers all the power, it can kill the enemy in a single punch.
In the original story, it was T.K.'s Angemon that had obliterated Devimon with one punch.
Hu Tao:How about I go?
Ganyu:That might not be a good idea. The opponent is the size of a mountain. How would you even fight it after you get there?
Hu Tao:But if I don't go, who can? Mona is a Hydro user. She can't just defeat it with astrology, right?
Ningguang:This…
Facing a monster of such a colossal size for the first time was indeed a difficult problem. The last time, Beidou had defeated the Kraken because it had been entangled with her ship. Now, there was no large target for it to focus on, and they had to protect a group of children. What were they to do?
Just as everyone was worrying, and even Zhongli was hesitating about whether he should step in himself, Sucrose spoke up.
Yes, you read that right. The girl with the glasses had appeared.
Sucrose:Um… I can go and defeat this enemy. I just have to eliminate it, right?
Xiangling:You have a way, Sucrose?
Mona:You shouldn't force yourself. If you're not careful, you could be swatted to death.
Su Han:How do you plan to fight?
Sucrose:You can just trust me. I… I will bring you all victory!
In her office at the Guili Plains, the bespectacled girl was currently packing all sorts of bottles and jars into her bag.
Having been cared for by everyone in the group for so long, Sucrose naturally wanted to help them in return.
"Alright, this should be enough to defeat it," she said to herself, looking at her full bag with a sigh of relief.
After Sucrose accepted the mission, the live stream began.
As the view shifted, the people in the group saw the dark landscape of File Island.
At that moment, the DigiDestined were battling Devimon. Greymon, Garurumon—various Champion-level Digimon were attacking in waves.
Unfortunately, Devimon, having absorbed countless Black Gears, was simply too strong.
With a single light swipe, it sent Greymon flying as if it were a toy.
Mona:Th-that's Devimon? The pressure is immense. Its body is like a mountain. How is Sucrose supposed to defeat it?
Su Han:I'm not sure either. Perhaps she'll use a potion to stimulate T.K.'s Digimon.
With things as they were, no one knew how Sucrose planned to defeat such a massive monster.
Keqing:If it were me, I might use the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit to make my own body gigantic. Otherwise, even with the power of Haki, fighting such a behemoth would be too difficult.
In the video, the Champion-level Digimon were still continuously attacking, but Devimon was completely unharmed.
Ningguang:She has already accepted the mission. Let's just watch quietly. Didn't Su Han say so? As long as T.K.'s Digimon evolves, the mission will be complete.
Ganyu:That's our only hope.
In the world of Digimon, Devimon was laughing maniacally.
"You think you can defeat me with just you children? What a joke! You have no idea of my terror!"
"Death Claw!"
A giant hand suddenly extended.
BOOM!
A small hill was directly crushed into pieces.
The children watched, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Go, Birdramon! Use Meteor Wing!"
"You got it, Sora!"
The large, fiery bird in the sky unleashed its ultimate move. Countless fireballs rained down from above.
However, the damage they caused to Devimon was minuscule, if any at all.
"How can this be? How is Devimon so strong? None of our moves are working," Sora said, falling to her knees in despair.
For the first time, she felt that this world was truly terrifying.
"Don't give up! If we all lose, what will happen to this world?" Ikkakumon shouted, firing its own ultimate move to resist Devimon's attacks.
The battle was a desperate struggle. Fortunately, Devimon's body was so large that its attacks became incredibly slow.
No one noticed that on a nearby mountaintop, a young woman with long, green hair had appeared.
She stood against the wind, a large package at her feet containing many, many things.
"This spot should do. I hope they can hold on for a little while longer," Sucrose said to herself, beginning to take out her tools.
They were small bottle after small bottle, filled with mysterious powders.
Defeating a mountain-sized Devimon was not so simple. Even with her preparations, Sucrose still needed a lot of time to set up.
The battle continued. The children were the protagonists, after all. Though their fighting power was lacking, with their various comebacks and power-ups, they could just about hold off Devimon's rampage.
Bottle after bottle of reagents were quickly combined in Sucrose's hands. The group watched, dazzled. Even Ganyu couldn't keep track of which potion was being mixed with which.
Keqing:Is… is she making a bomb?
After observing for a while, Keqing finally realized what Sucrose was planning.
Why are humans great? Because when they know there is something they cannot do, they choose to use another method to accomplish it!
Mona:How powerful of a bomb would it take to destroy such a huge enemy?
Ningguang:Perhaps she had this planned from the beginning. Let's wait and see. If I'm not mistaken, the exciting part of the battle is about to begin.
She had only spent a short time with Sucrose, but through observation, Ningguang had discovered that although Sucrose was shy, she was an absolutely brilliant researcher. Whether it was biology or engineering, she could learn it very quickly. If social relations were Sucrose's weakness, then in the field of knowledge, she was a true prodigy.
Su Han:I remember now. Before Sucrose came to Liyue, she had a very deep friendship with the Spark Knight of Mondstadt.
Mona:The Spark Knight? Who's that?
Ganyu:I remember, it's a little girl, right? Her name… is it Klee?
In her intelligence files, she had the names of all the cadres in Mondstadt, and Klee's name was very near the top. There was only one reason for that: she was extremely terrifying.
Su Han:@Mona, aren't you looking for your master's rival? Klee's mother is the person you're looking for, and Klee is her daughter.
Mona:What? She's the daughter of the witch Alice?!
Zhongli:So it is her.
Zhongli had a deep impression of Alice. She was a woman of wild imagination and great knowledge.
Kaedehara Kazuha:I also seem to recognize that name, Lady Alice. There has always been a warrant for her arrest in Inazuma. If anyone encounters her, they are to report to the General at once.
Ningguang:So it's that woman. But Su Han, what does this have to do with Sucrose?
Su Han:Because Klee's greatest talent is making bombs. And Starfell Valley was flattened by her.
Mona:…
Ganyu:…
Keqing:…
It's a good thing she hasn't come to Liyue, they thought. Otherwise, our mountains would have been flattened.
As they were chatting, Sucrose finally finished her work. She stood up, her gaze fixed on Devimon, and murmured, "Klee, if I can kill this guy in front of me, part of the credit belongs to you. Let's call this bomb the Annihilation-722 Destruction Bomb."
A gale of wind burst forth from Sucrose's hands.
The distant Devimon instantly sensed an enemy approaching from behind.
The battle had begun!
