The Digimon of the lava river had been quelled by Gio and Dio's attack. Belphemon's aura of fatigue ebbed away as Holly and Mae supported each other through the upper mine. While their initial approaches may have been fraught with peril, nothing would be standing in their way on the way back. It'd be little more than a hop, skip, and a jump towards the central chamber, where the beam of light called by Dio and Gio would be waiting.
The beam penetrated through the centermost chamber, illuminating what once a path stretching onwards into infinity. Would it be a relief to Dio that his efforts were not in vain, an exasperation to Mae that she was practicing for a circumstance that wasn't quite necessary, or all too frustrating to Holly after she had risked her mind twice solving this problem the hard way? No matter the case, the group would find themselves looking into a large antechamber, forming an expanse so wide that they wouldn't even be able to see the walls on the other side.
The first thing that they would notice were many large ashen piles on the floor. They almost looked like silhouettes of Digimon, like the ones left behind when a bomb goes off in the face of an old-timey cartoon. However, close examination would reveal that to be only half right. The reason why these looked so close to Digimon was because they were Digimon: unmoving, unblinking, and not even breathing, but unmistakably solid Digimon. Dust piled up on their still bodies, giving them their ashen look, but their wide-open eyes made it all too clear that they were still alive. Despite this, there was no spark behind them, and they wouldn't react no matter how often they were passed, called to, poked, or even attacked. It was as if their every sense had been severed from the world.
The rest of the cave looked as if it hadn't even been touched. Spiderwebs stretched from floor to ceiling in certain spots, although they were bereft of any actual spiders. Enough dust and ash had settled onto the floor to leave visible footprints behind wherever the group walked. Abandoned supplies littered the floor: food, medicines, weapons, even gem-studded offerings. If the dust was shaken off of them, even the food would look perfect and pristine. How many groups had come beforehand to try and slay or placate Belphemon? How many of them even made it to him in the first place?
Likely not many. The scattered bodies became less and less common the further down the chamber the group advanced. Soon there were maybe one or two, Digimon in grand Mega forms wielding the finest weapons at their disposal, scattered among the emptiness of the cavern. The rest was just open space, carpets of dust as pristine as freshly fallen snow.
After walking so far it would like their legs would fall off, the group would finally see him in the distance. Fast asleep, with Holly looking like a tiny speck on the horizon by comparison, Belphemon dwelled in the center of all of this carnage.
And yet he still didn't move a muscle.

Was this not required? Well, Mae didn't exactly know, nor did she care, but she had a job to do, did she not? She needed to get there, and she needed to be prepared for whatever the Demon Lord of being completely lazy could throw at her.
In time, she regained her focus and found herself at the cusp of a large...antechamber of sorts. Okay. That's fitting for what they were searching for, was it not? She crept further and further, slowly taking note of the bodies of the Digimon undergoing a whole lot of sensory deprivation.
Was this their fate if they didn't win?
A quiet whisper emerged from the Rasielmon. "They hadn't even lain a finger on him." She glanced to and fro and sought to approach Holly. "What now? How should we do this?" Truth be told, she hadn't quite expected to get here.
She'd also beckon Carlos and the twins over, too. They needed to all be here, didn't they?

The trio's walk back was uneventful, if still tense, as they had plenty of time to themselves to think on what laid ahead of them. They had already dealt with an (admitedly weakened) Sovereign before, and that had been nothing short of terrifying, so what kind of ancient powers could they expect from a full fledged Demon Lord?
Whatever it was they imagined, it was certainly nothing like what they found once they reached the gigantic antechamber the beam of light had led them to. The sight of all the many comatose(?) digimon scattered around the floor of the cave as they walked deeper into the antechamber did not help ease their fears or concerns in the slightest, and the ominous shadow of the frankly gigantic Demon Lord awaiting them on the opossite end of the chamber was both almost awe inspiring and soul crushing. How were they supposed to take him out in one shot?
"Yeah, I got nothing." The man whispered back to may, eyes fixated on the sleeping giant, as if expecting him to move at any second. A bit of a tall order to expect that from the Lord of Sloth, perhaps. As for the twins? Gio simply stood silently, glancing back and forth between the "sleeping" digimon on the cavern and the fuzzy demon lord himself, while Dio...could only scowl at the giant, crossed armed and shaking his head.
"I say we just hit him with what the best we have before he notices us. This rotund lazy slob hardly deserves his title, let alone a fair fight."

Holly stared up at the demonlord with a somewhat neutral face. She hadn’t gotten her answer from before, had she even been able to reach them? She’d look down at her hands, they were shaking. Uncertain. The area around her yielded nothing but sadness and answers that were forgotten to those that stood around her.
She… She wasn’t sure what she was doing here anymore. Getting all the way to the big bad and she felt so small. So dwarfed. Was it really okay for her to do this? To challenge him? She’d grit her teeth and shake her head, slapping either side of her face.
Hearing Mae the meicrackmon turned. She felt relief seeing her friend and with a nod to her clone the latter would pomf out of existence. The information that it held coming all at once making the meicrackmon rub her temples.
”There’s two ways we could do this…”
The others arrived in short order, hearing carlos saying he had nothing and that didn't really fill her with confidence. She’d look down at her hands again; staring again at the shaking mess they had become. Was it the cold? Or her nervousness?
”Option one is yes hit him with everything we’ve got. Everything. Absolutely everything. Give him not a single moment to even wake and just go until we fall. No doubt he’ll wake up if we really reach him and then we’ll have a fight on our hands…”
The meicrackmon sighed a bit and rustled around in her infini storage, she looked a little saddened honestly and well… She didn’t expect this next part to go over well. A few packages of bento were drawn forward, she had spent painstaking hours preparing these meals… And there was even one for the demonlord. Wrapped in a nice lace with a little tag on the top of it.
”We talk. We convince him this isn’t the best way. That he could still stick around but not support the others. That he stops what he’s doing that’s causing this… issue. There’s been enough deaths, what we need is someone that we could use as a focal point a leader. It’s rare to have beings this strong actually present. And just because he’s lazy like this doesn’t mean he’s not worth the title he carries.”
She’d turn her head to look up at the immobile behemoth.
”If you even want to talk to us that is.”

Belphemon's entire body remained still. Even as Mae, Dio, Carlos, Holly spoke around him, he didn't even spare a glance their way. His facial features seemed completely frozen, mouth drawn into a small, peaceful smile and eyes comfortably lidded shut. His chest didn't even seem to rise or fall as he breathed. Yet despite this he managed to escape the palpable layer of dust covering everything else in this cave. He remained there, pristine and untouched, as if he were a monument to the very act of slothfulness. Even Holly's oh-so-generous offer seemed to be spurned, the Belphemon not even offering a murmur in her general direction.
Then, his mouth started to open.
It didn't open like that of a human or beast. In fact, if one wasn't paying attention, they might not have noticed Belphemon opening its mouth at all. Not a single muscle on his face moved. Instead, his mouth seemed to spread outwards from his face without disrupting the rest of it's stillness. It was almost like a badly drawn anime character. However, the massive maw of teeth inside of his mouth was anything but badly drawn. Each the size of a small sword, they glimmered menacingly in the cavern's subterranean light. With each second this mouth-hole expanded slightly further, revealing row upon row of these teeth. It didn't stop until it covered practically half of Belphemon's face.
After a pregnant pause, the room started to shake.
The bento offerings were the first to go. They all zipped right towards Belphemon's mouth-hole, tumbling into it gracelessly. A sound much like a chainsaw echoed through the room, getting higher and louder with each second. A feeling of deja vu may have hit the Digimon on this expedition: Belphemon was snoring again, and when he started snoring things started getting dangerous!
It wouldn't be long before the force of his inhalation started pulling against the present Digimon, too. They wouldn't be lifted clean off of the ground like Holly's bento were, but the pull would be very noticeable. They would find themselves being dragged towards the Demon Lord like stardust into a black hole, his pull gentle yet inevitable. If they wanted any hope of avoiding his sway, moving away would be the only option; no amount of digging their heels in would be able to stave off the force of a Demon Lord at point blank range.
Yet, could they even move away? Mae would know the feeling coming over her all too well, but the others may not have been as familiar with it. Cold washed over their muscles and minds, coiling around them like a set of grasping fingers. For now, the effect wasn't too bad. It was simply a bit of a numb sensation. Yet, Mae had already experienced the phenomenon near its worst. She had stayed several rooms away, yet even in the face of her active defiance it was still nearly bad enough to paralyze her where she stood.
How bad could it get right by the epicenter?

The peaceful solution wasn’t the way to go was it? Her eyes followed the bento as it was lifted off of her hands, that solution going far away from her before she could even really register what was happening. The pull of his inhalation to the strange designed mouth… She felt her brain process this happening faster than her body could even move. There were three things that happened all at once. The lifting and shredding of her bento. The meicrackmon’s intuition to protect a very much frail and very much close human to the o so dangerous Demonlord. And the light surrounding her body as she just triggered her evolution. She knew what would happen if carlos was dragged in there. If any of them would be dragged in there. Hearing the shredding of her bento was like a physical pain. Like the world was laughing at her. If carlos didn’t react fast enough she’d have to react for him. IF the others didn’t react to it; she’d do the same of it. She felt that creeping sensation of slowness attack her body but she shunted the feeling of it in her mind to a forgettable place. She didn’t have the time to worry about her body slowing. Did she even have the time to worry in general? Carlos would find his body lifted and without even so much as a word he would be thrown very hard and away from the snoring demonlord. But then again being thrown by a mon mid digivolution had some really strange caveats. Sure the first initial force was that of a meicrackmon but by the end of her throw she was a baihumon. A very angry baihumon. But she didn’t attack. Why didn’t she attack? There was the chance for her to throw everything she had right away. As her form was gripped at and as she tried to move away from the demonlord there was a thought. If they attacked during this snoring inhalation was it likely that their attacks would be drawn in? Would that be the case during the exhalations? She didn’t really know the answer but what she wanted to do was wait in a sense to see what happened next. Given her positioning and size, it was also rather reasonable for the others to grab onto the much heavier baihumon… if they didn’t mind getting a little frizzled from her electricity! Though they wouldn’t get hurt it definitely would feel weird… But to the belphemon maybe his body would take a little damage from it too eh? ”We have a plan and the other one just went out of the window. Mae. Dio. Gio. Give it what you got! Use me as a anchor point! Carlos! Keep moving away!” Log: -Holly digivolves to baihumon, throwing carlos away from the group in the process! Passives: Iron Lord|Combat Passive: If it is one thing, Baihumon is durable. It's fur being beyond that of natural limits is made purely out of a digizoid fiber of sorts. It's strong to the point of having a heavy resistance[30%] to all forms of damage. At the cost of moving much[30%] slower. Water attacks weaken the fur considerably and disable this passive for three posts upon successful contact.
Charged-Air|Combat Passive: This digimon is putting off a constant barrage of electrical currents into the air. Arcing off of it's fur, the orbs and metal that it's body may possess. This hyper charges the local area that the mon is in. Creating a field of sustained damage to those that come too close. Friendly individuals find that this field deals no damage to them. Deals light damage to any without electrical resistance. If struck by a water attack this negates the passive for three posts. Hundred foot range.
Hyper-Regeneration|Combat Passive|RAM UPGRADE: This digimon is capable of regenerating a medium amount of damage per posting round. Upon being struck with any enemy attacks it is boosted to a heavy amount of regeneration for three posts and then goes on a cooldown of Six posts afterwards. Healing abilities, status effects, defensive abilities or otherwise friendly/unfriendly abilities stall out this regeneration for the duration of effect.
Accelerated Flight|General Passive|RAM UPGRADE: This digimon is capable of super sonic flight outside of combat, breaking the sound barrier multiple times over. Inside of combat it's aerial prowess is what you would expect of an average mystical user. It can't compete with the best of them in terms of maneuverability but it's speed is something to behold.

There had always been a feeling in Mae's stomach that peace was not the ideal way to go about business with a Demon Lord, much less one who was always slumbering, always asleep and dragging everyone down with him like some sort of pox, some sort of plague...
The cold coiled around her like a snake, and Mae had to think with every ounce of willpower she had what to do here. The answer came a tad quicker than one might expect, however, and the Rasielmon was swiftly encased in a blue orb that shattered to reveal a silver and blue iteration of the form.
Her super mega. At least, the only one she could consciously access at this very moment. She reached for the fur of a Baihumon that was suddenly there, before she put her palm forward, and the elements within the ciphers on her arms coalesced into one before a raging stream of pure POWER fired forth at Belphemon. Mae evolves into Rasielmon Preserver Mode and fires Knowledge Stream.
Knowledge Stream: Five became ten, and ten becomes one. Rasielmon unifies all ten of the elements she has access to within the ciphers on her arms in order to fire forth a surging beam of energy brought forth from this unification. It’s a severely powerful attack, so getting hit by this is ill-advised. Three turn cooldown.

Truth be told, other than perhaps Gio, neither one of the trio ever really entertained the idea of a peaceful resolution for this whole ordeal. They had come in with the full intent of fighting against a primordial power of the digital world, with all the dangers that implied. So of course it wasn't a complete shock when Belphemon was the one to initiate said aggression.
That said, it was also fair to say nobody expected the demon lord to pretty much split open his face and try to eat them whole like some sort of gigantic demonic anteater. Carlos was the first to feel it. First the slow, creeping cold, then the sudden pull, his eyes widening in fear and shock as he found himself being dragged towards the demon lord...though luckily he didn't get far before he was stopped, his body being lifted from behind by Holly, who wasted no time in getting him as far away from danger as possible.
Needless to say it was quite startling for the man to be sent flying away with such force by the Baihumon, though nowhere as startling as the sight of the Demon Lord's maw. He landed with a painful thud, but didn't let that stop him, making good on Holly's command and putting all his physical and mental strenght into crawling away despite the pull and the cold coiling around him, not wanting to let go of the relative safety of the floor until he stopped feeling the wind trying to pull him towards the Belphemon's jaws.
"Guys, now! No time for fanfare!" He yelled, looking back for but a second just to have a mental confirmation that everyone was indeed still there and that he wasn't on his own just yet. As for the twins he was addressing? Well, while surprised they too had wasted no time in trying to find a foothold against the hellish pull, Gio grabbing onto Holly, and Dio grabbing Gio's claw tightly, the electricity coursing through her and into them feeling like a rather warm fuzz compared to the bitter cold numbing their bodies and minds.
Once they heard the man's voice however? They simply gave a short nod, their grip tightening as their body began to glow, flowing, twisting into eachother and reforming, yet even so never letting go from Holly nor eachother. A moment later the twins were now a singular form, the armored shape of a less than amused Plutomon.
Rather surprisingly (even considering their current predicament) not a single word of gloating or taunting came from the Dark Lord's lips, just a silence filled with disdain as the tip of their blade like tail pointed itself at the Belphemon's mouth, an arc of pure electrical energy shooting forth from within.

Two beams of pure energy coiled around one another. Mae, Dio, and Gio may have come from vastly different walks of life, but today they fought united by shared purpose. The two blasts intertwined and rocketed towards their enemy, producing so much light that they left the cavern completely illuminated. Yet, despite such a show of force, Belphemon didn't move or even flinch. Instead he continued to yawn, the perfectly flat circle of his mouth continuing to spread across his face. At first the attack looked like a direct hit. Light and energy rushed past Belphemon's head, leaving his face completely overwhelmed by the beam. This lasted for mere seconds, the beam shrinking and shrinking with each second.
Belphemon started sucking down the beams like a freshly-cooked noodle.
With each slurp, the beam shrank, but fortunately so did Belphemon's mouth. It seemed that, while he had devoured the worst of the attack, it had also taken up the majority of his inhalation power. Between having his mouth full with both attacks and the massive stability provided by Holly's Baihumon form, no Digimon would be at risk of getting inhaled today. Just as suddenly as the snoring started, it stopped. Had Belphemon's first strike been outlasted?
He sat, chewing ever so slightly, before letting out a contented hum. Seemingly too lazy to speak, instead his voice echoed out within the heads of those assembled. "Not bad," he said. "The bento was well made! Though I'm not sure about th-"
Belphemon's eyes snapped open in surprise as his mouth suddenly shot open. A belch echoed through the cavern as Belphemon shot Mae and Gio-Dio's lasers right back out. It had shrunken some from when it was originally fired, somewhere between two third and half of its original size, but it was nonetheless the counterattack was still quite powerful. Worse still, with everyone hanging onto Holly for stability, all three of them would be right in the line of fire.
When the attack passed away, it was clear that it had left some marks on Belphemon despite being countered. His fur was singed in quite a few places, and there were even a few gashes along the side of his mouth. However, as he once more drew his eyes back into an easy sleep, the gashes started to slowly shrink in size. Blackened fur bristled, soot shaking off and revealing intact hair beneath. And, either most or least surprisingly of all, the Demon Lord had managed to settle back into an easy sleep. "Sorry, must've been something I ate," he muttered, still speaking entirely within the heads of his captive audience.
He still didn't seem overly malicious. Yet despite this, he was undoubtedly dangerous. Worse still, the air continued to chill in his presence, sending another shiver down the spines of all those present.
Belphemon inhales the attacks coming his way, then launches them right back at his foes. He doesn't move a muscle, and takes no further action. ? - Catch and Release - After spending a post inhaling, anything that Belphemon consumed comes shooting right out of his mouth! The attack seems to cap out at half of its strength, and it leaves some wounds behind on Belphemon, but it certainly poses a risk. Passive - Aura of Lethargy: The dulling continues . . . Both reaction speed and movement are slowed by 10%. Passive - Hibernation: Belphemon's comfortable sleep cycle seems to do wonders for his health. Already, his early wounds are beginning to heal.

Holly felt herself staring at the beams as the belphemon seemed to be overtaken by the energy but… The beams were rapidly shrinking? Her eyes widened and her expression shifted. She’d find a growl rising in her throat. It wasn’t going to be that easy was it? She had to figure something out here and well… With the snoring stopping and only succeeded by chewing? His compliment brought a small flicker of satisfaction to holly’s face. She didn’t get much praise when it came to her cooking very often given that she didn’t do it for others terribly consistently. Given the reaction that the belphemon had as the mouth shot open holly had a moment to make a choice. Seeing those pair of beams lance out… All three of them would get hit by this if she didn’t do something. Huffing in frustration she’d kick herself off of the ground; albeit a little slower than she was expecting. Whatever this aura was… was really cutting into her body and mind. She was glad that the beam passed underneath her; leaving the three of them intact. They needed to finish this fight as quickly as they could; if they didn’t well… They would eventually end up like those ‘statues’ no doubt. ”Well I know it wasn’t the bento…”The baihumon muttered a bit and started to draw energy from within her to her mouth. She felt the ball of electrical plasma start to form and before too long it was present in her mouth, pulsating. Beating and living it’s own life within the maw of it’s creator. She’d chomp down on this ball; a collective screaming and pulsing of energy coming off of it as it mixed with the less harsh energies within her body. The seams of her mouth and even her eyes started to glow for a single moment before the baihumon opened it’s mouth. A lance of energy, so pure, so powerful launched out of her mouth. With a target so large and so unmoving it was doubtful that she’d miss even at what you could consider pointblank. Even during her attack she was mulling over what the other was capable of. Counter attacks during his inhaling, some form of reduced damage perhaps? Or maybe in this mode while he slept he just healed better? There were tons of questions she had about this form and she doubted he would just answer them! ”So many questions I want to ask tch… Why do we have to fight? Can't we just talk this out peacefully...” Log: -Holly flew up to avoid catch and releases counter. Bringing with her Mae and the fused twins if they continued to hold on. -Holly used Hyper Nova cannon. Passives: Iron Lord|Combat Passive: If it is one thing, Baihumon is durable.

There were a number of ways that Mae could have predicted this fight to have started off like, but she wasn't expecting literally consuming the attacks to be one thing Belphemon's critically acclaimed (for some reason) Sleep Mode was capable of. So, naturally? Of course this wasn't going to be easy. Belphemon then regurgitated the attacks right back at them, and Mae figured that a combination of two rather powerful attacks was likely something they did not wish to be hit by. So, what was the Ophanim to do? Grip tightly onto the hide of the Baihumon and hope for the best as they flew up to dodge. Belphemon didn't even seem to be acting with malicious intent. It was more like he was just going through the motions. Something that...kind of nagged at Mae. Still holding onto Holly, she extended a claw outwards before a ball of blue energy formed in front of her, before she launched it with a simple wave of the hand. An unaptly named technique, Silver Bullet. It hurt a lot, but there genuinely was not much to it. Perhaps she needed to fight Sloth with Sloth.
Relevant Passives: Fatebreaker [RAM Upgrade Giga]: This entity has the same mysterious foresight that a Rasielmon would possess. As such, Mae has the ability to divine a potentially infinite number of futures, depending on the level she's at. There are, however, limits to her foresight. For one, the lower the level, the more muddied, limited, and opaque the visions will be. The higher, the clearer. Furthermore, in combat, this is only really applicable as a way to warn herself and others of various attacks. Whether she can dodge them or not even with this is entirely on her. Should she successfully dodge an attack she had a vision of, the chances she can dodge the next one are lower. Basically she can’t spam this unless she wants the hurt.
Epitaph: This entity has heightened reflexes, thanks to her foresight being enhanced even further. As such, she’s able to think and move quicker in a fight, enabling her to operate at her fullest capacity.
Cipher of the Elements: Every three turns, Mae can apply one of ten elements to herself, changing both how her form looks (in terms of colors,) and how her attacks appear/work for three turns before she reverts to how she was previously. Oh, and her weaknesses change, too. They go as follows:
Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Metal, Darkness, Wood, Ice, Thunder.
Mae holds onto Holly to evade the attacks, before she attacks with Silver Bullet. Silver Bullet: A single shot of blue energy that’s shaped like a sword. This works rather well for a standard, easily usable attack from a distance. One post cooldown. Cooldowns: Knowledge Stream: 1/3 Silver Bullet: 0/1

There was admitedly, a momentary flash of surprise on the Plutomon's face as their attacks were easily devoured by Belphemon's jaws, and an equally shocked reaction as those same attacks were...burped right back at them, thought thankfully thanks to Holly's quick thinking they didn't end up obliterated by their own attack. To be honest, the twins had to give it to him, that was a fairly impressive display of his sturdiness, as the Demon Lord didn't seem much worse for wear afterwards. Hell, it barely seemed like he had consciously defended himself like that.
Unlike the other two, he was not dissapointed, nor he was he annoyed.
He was livid. Sloth was not taking this seriously, if he was even noticing he was being attacked to begin with. He had beaten all those digimon around him, his mere presense threatened to end the lives of everyone both inside and outside the cave...and he didn't even notice. Nor he seemed to care.
That almost apathetic response to the world around him as he continued to slumber brought nothing but hatred from the Dark Lord. To think he was taking over as the current Sloth.
Disgraceful. Mortifying. Arguably worse than if he enjoyed it. Such a thing could not stand.
Letting go of Holly mid flight the knight launched himself headfirst at the slothful giant, landing perhaps not as swiftly as he wanted (thanks in no small part to the increasingly invasive weary feeling that invaded him) right next to the Belphemon, before he quickly jumped again, trying to position himself to his right side, as far away as he could from his face and his razor teeth filled maw.
"You lazy, fat slob make a mockery of US?!" The demon roared out with fury, his fists lighting up with ethereal flames as he plunged it into the Demon Lord's side, the ensuing impact exploding into a large and loud blast of energy. Clearly attacks from the front was just asking for trouble, so perhaps attacking him from a different angle would yield better results.
Plutomon attacks Belphemon's side with Cull the Weak. He is also quite angry.
Cull the Weak: Dashing forward at blinding speed Plutomon punches an enemy with great strength, a blast of energy shooting out of his fist and blasting the enemy at point blank range, dealing heavy damage and marking them as “Weak.” “Weak” enemies take double damage from Plutomon’s attacks for the next two posts. 4 posts cooldown.
Cooldowns:
Cull the Weak: (0/4)
Gamma Ray: (1/3)

Belphemon didn't even move as attack after attack rocketed into his body, but without his droning snores he wasn't absorbing them either. In fact, he just kinda let them hit him. The quicker, simpler Silver Bullet hit first, and hit Belphemon in the chest to little fanfare. It passed into his fur, singing it but slowly getting swallowed up into the thick mess. Pain didn't even seem to cross his face. Had he even been impacted?
As the Silver Bullet vanished into his fur, the Hyper-Nova-Cannon finished charging. From Holly's perspective, this was one of her strongest moves, capable of shorting out even electrically resistant Digimon and obliterating any guard in her way. This one hit a lot more cleanly and directly, punching a clean hole in the Belphemon's fur. Yet even as smoke tinged with data rose up from the wound, the Belphemon didn't even rock back from the force of the blow. In fact, compared to the blasts that Holly would be accustomed to seeing, the wound he had suffered was surprisingly minute. Worse still, much like the twin beam from earlier, the wound was already starting to slowly knot itself shut. Just how much punishment was Belphemon capable of taking?
The enraged Plutomon shot forward to try and change his team's luck. He was powered not by duty but by pure hatred, furious at the bad name Belphemon was giving his kind. Whether due to his hatred, or simply due to the nature of his attack, he actually had the most luck. His fist careened through Belphemon's fur, making solid contact with the Digimon's body. For someone so inactive, he felt surprisingly rock solid. The blow might've actually hurt Plutomon's hand! However, just from the nature of the impact he could tell Belphemon'd be feeling it harder than he did. The energy eruption after? That would just be icing on the cake. A shame that the eruption, too, did little more than singe his fur. What did Belphemon have against icing?
Unfortunately, if Plutomon landed after his blow, he would learn the hard way the risks of going into melee. A pool of ice started to slowly spread around Belphemon's feet, and anyone in melee range would be at the risk of stepping in it. Just being in the air above the puddle was already starting to chill the soles of Plutomon's feet; what would happen if he actually landed in it?
"We can talk," Belphemon said plainly, continuing to speak entirely through telepathic echoes. "It's not gonna change much. You're here to kill me. My mere existence drags the world around me to sloth. This is all kind of inevitable, you know? Only part that's up to the coin flip is which of us walks out of this. No sense trying to change my fate. Even a Demon Lord can't do that. Especially not a Demon Lord. But I'll find out what it is when I get there."
As for the Plutomon? Despite the rage coming out of his mouth, Belphemon didn't even turn his way. "Wouldn't be the first time I heard that," he admitted. "Leviamon and I were always the outcasts. But getting all worked up over it like she has never did her any favors in all her cycles. Besides, my job'll get done no matter what I try to do. Nothing I do has any meaning, really. So nothing's all I do. Either way, it's all the same."
Passive? - Catch and Release - After spending a post inhaling, anything that Belphemon consumed comes shooting right out of his mouth! The attack seems to cap out at half of its strength, and it leaves some wounds behind on Belphemon, but it certainly poses a risk. - Cooldown 1/?? Passive - Aura of Lethargy: The dulling continues . . . Both reaction speed and movement are slowed by 15%. Passive - Hibernation: Belphemon's comfortable sleep cycle seems to do wonders for his health. Already, his early wounds are beginning to heal. Passive - Thick Fur: Energy attacks seem to be leaving behind surface level burns at most, but that punch made a solid connection. Is Belphemon somewhat insulated against non-physical moves? Passive - Cocytus: Was that patch of ice always there beneath Belphemon, or is it new? Whatever the case, it seems to be creeping forward bit by bit . . . touching it seems ill advised.

Together they were able to make attacks, together their strikes hit hard. Holly was grateful to see that everyone was working in such a manner where… Her eyes took in the varied responses that the other had. She’d narrow her eye and let out a small growl. Ranged attacks were not making as much of an impact as they were hoping. Most of what she was capable of in most of her forms were ranged. She had a few that had strong melee attacks but… To what she was seeing here they would need to attack him directly; his fur was some kind of insulating barrier between his flesh underneath and the… and the. She’d shake her head; it was hard to think as quickly as before. It was hard to put things in the same line of thought and with the echoing of sloth’s voice in her head she shifted in the air. Opting to observe for the moment. ”We’re here to stop you. Not kill you. Your existence and passive nature is making it difficult for people to live out there. A sort of… conundrum if I ever heard something like that. We don’t NEED to kill you. If anything I know that we can change your fate, and it wouldn’t even be an effort from you. It’d be from us if you’re willing to… hear me out here.”Hoping for the best the baihumon glanced at her passenger. She’d give them a nod and motion for them to try the same thing that the twins were going for. She didn’t want to get too close herself for a moment. She felt that in her position she didn’t have the same power as these other two. That she would be best suited for a role of support. So if anything. She’d take this moment, this lul in the fight to switch forms. To that bright and powerful form from before. In the same sort of passive nature, her orbs came into being. With the baihumon it was hard to have jade out and the natural orbs the form kept. The brightness and purity of this form was likely going to be surprising or maybe it’d just brighten up sloth’s dark hold just a bit. She’d reach back and tie her lush hair in a ponytail... Defensive formation Jade.Affirmative.”My species of digimon harbor a natural and powerful ability to usually deal with powerful debilitating poisons or effects. To that end. If I and maybe my companion here were to absorb enough of your data it’s possible that we could remove the title of sloth and the powers that make it impossible for peace from you. Suffice to say I don’t think we need to kill you, in fact I think that’d be a huge waste. At the very least… I think that we could really be friends. My step mother adopted an assassin that tried to kill her after he lost to her. All you have to do is say one word and we can make this a reality. Where you can peacefully rest for as long as you wish without people coming to attack you. Your knowledge of the past and powerful form in great times of need would be such a wonderful boon. You could be a hero to the people and I can tell that there is a gentleness to you that would go well received by those in need.” Log: -Holly takes the time to observe the various effects before deigning to take a more supportive role in this fight. -She has slide digivolved from baihumon to Clarimon_Major. - Three willing targets of guardian oath will receive a 11% damage reduction [22% if 2, 33% if just one] Passive: |RAM UPGRADE GIGA| Jade orbs: A set of seven somewhat small orbs that change in size based on the host digimon's own size. They're made primarily out of jade but have several veins of other materials. It's far harder than any normal jade could hope to be and is about as durable if not more than it's host. Inside of the orbs lays a collective AI that is capable of learning and reasoning much like it's owner does. It is named after it's own coloration and it's voice is decidedly feminine. Outside of battle it simply gathers and catalogs information for it's owner's benefit while inside of battle it's devious ability is brought to light.
The jade orbs possess different formations. Three to be specific. Defensive, offensive and supportive. Each formation gives a small boost to the respective grouping. But only ever at 10%. Only one formation can be active at a time and there is a three post cool-down to switching between formations. Defensive provides a damage reduction, offensive increases damage output and supportive increases healing done.
Visage of the faceless one|Passive: This digimon is not affected by moves that would normally affect the senses or mind. In that effect she cannot be buffed in any sort of way even by her own power.
Guardian Oath|Passive: This digimon naturally excludes an aura that gives allies around her a large damage reduction. Fifty foot radius, maximum of three targets. For each individual that is within this buff range her own defense suffers by 10%. One willing target will receive a 30% damage reduction boost, Two willing targets will receive a 20% damage reduction boost, and Finally Three willing targets will receive a 10% damage reduction boost.

What exactly was being played at here? Was peace really a probable solution to this? Mae thought otherwise. The very nature of these sins was to promote bile, negativity, all sorts of stuff. Sloth was meant to drag everybody down with it. An inevitability. Sure, you can't really stave off the inevitable but wasn't Sloth just a title in the end? Couldn't you just seal the title and not the Digimon behind it? They did come to kill/stop/deal with Sloth. Moreover, the ranged assault did nothing. Well, practically nothing she could -see.- That was kind of...hm. Mae didn't really know what to feel about that. For the moment, she decided to switch up her options. The Rasielmon was surrounded by a pillar of glass that shot up to encompass her, before it shattered to reveal a silver-furred Raguelmon with striking purple armor and green claws, still floating in the air. "...Got anything to say about that? Think you can relinquish inevitability?"
Relevant Passives: Abilities: Fatebreaker [RAM Upgrade Giga]: This entity has the same mysterious foresight that a Rasielmon would possess. As such, Mae has the ability to divine a potentially infinite number of futures, depending on the level she's at. There are, however, limits to her foresight. For one, the lower the level, the more muddied, limited, and opaque the visions will be. The higher, the clearer. Furthermore, in combat, this is only really applicable as a way to warn herself and others of various attacks. Whether she can dodge them or not even with this is entirely on her. Should she successfully dodge an attack she had a vision of, the chances she can dodge the next one are lower. Basically she can’t spam this unless she wants the hurt.
Beyond Good Or Evil [Passive]: This entity is rendered immune to any passives or active abilities that would have it take increased damage based upon alignment or attribute. Nature doesn't care about alignment. Why should I?
Hide of the Fallen [Passive]: To add even more insult to this creature’s defensive capabilities (or awe at the fact it even -has- any), it even takes 30% reduced damage from all sources unless they possess piercing properties.
Rangda [Passive] [RAM Upgrade]: Every three turns, Raguelmon is capable of enhancing any single one of her non-Spatial Pursuit abilities to completely bypass active shields to deal full damage. This is represented by a sickly green glow around her form, or limbs being used to execute the attack in question.
