In the sky, Susanoomon completely overwhelmed the pitch-black Lucemon. Susanoomon summoned a bank of thick storm clouds, from which eight gleaming golden thunder dragons emerged and coiled tightly around Lucemon's body.
"It's the legendary ultimate technique, Eight Thunder Gods! It summons eight thunder dragons to restrict the enemy's movements!" Wisemon pointed at his book and shouted excitedly.
"If I gain enough power in the future, I'll help you return to your home," Zheng Fan promised Alphamon solemnly.
An unprecedented joy shone in Alphamon's eyes, and he made a decision in his heart.
"Heavenly Feather Slash!" Susanoomon pulled a massive cannon from thin air. Instead of firing a powerful shell, the cannon produced a crimson blade. Gripping the weapon by what might have been either its barrel or its hilt, Susanoomon swept it toward Lucemon, who was pinned firmly in place by Eight Thunder Gods.
Amid Lucemon's defiant roars, Heavenly Feather Slash broke through his defenses inch by inch, finally cutting him in two. His Digicore was left completely exposed.
Susanoomon flew forward, gently stroked Lucemon's Digicore, and said tenderly, "Lucemon, let me drive out your evil heart, so full of loathing and hatred. Now, I will cleanse the resentment in your heart."
Susanoomon crossed his hands and summoned an enormous Digivice. Aiming it at Lucemon's Digicore, he shouted, "Code Crown, scan!"
The dense layers of defenses around the Digicore crumbled in an instant. Arrangements that had seemed flawless were dismantled with ease. Streams of data were extracted from the Digicore and sucked into the Digivice. Lucemon, who should already have been dead, let out agonized screams. The cruelty surpassed every known form of punishment. Yet compared with Lucemon's act of devouring an entire world, it no longer seemed quite so cruel.
"Gallantmon, you got eaten," Magnamon remarked with a sigh.
