“Save me!!”
“Wuwu, I don’t want to die!”
Leon felt like his head was splitting apart.
People’s shouts and cries echoed beside his ears.
He struggled to open his eyes.
Around him, flames soared into the sky and thick smoke filled the air.
Burning shelves, collapsed walls, and shattered ceilings… the entire supermarket had already turned into ruins!
Most of his body was pinned beneath a huge and heavy stone slab, completely unable to move.
“Leon, I’m sorry…”
Koromon was lying not far from him, seriously injured and on the verge of death.
What… happened?
Why did it become like this?!
Leon’s vision became dazed.
He still vaguely remembered that he had only come to the supermarket to buy things.
When it was his turn to pay, a staff member had run out of the supermarket in panic.
Immediately afterward, he saw a blazing firelight bloom inside the supermarket, and surging flames devoured everything.
That’s right, the supermarket exploded!
“Cough cough.”
Leon suddenly coughed and spat out quite a lot of blood.
It seemed that this explosion had caused him very serious injuries.
Am I… about to die?
Leon’s consciousness began to blur, and darkness slowly covered his vision.
No…
I should still be able to be saved!
He forced himself to stretch out one hand, then reached into his clothes pocket and took out something.
It was a card.
On it, a clock figure with hands and feet was shining brightly.
[Name: Time Destroyer]
[Type: Skill Card]
[Rank: Legendary]
[Attached Effect: A special move originating from Clockmon.
It can reverse time by 10 minutes]
[Note: This DigiCard is a one-time-use item]
Leon had drawn this card not long ago, but he had never had a chance to use it.
And now was the moment to turn the tide!
In an instant, a dazzling golden light appeared on the Skill Card in Leon’s hand.
Very quickly, the light spread outward in all directions, forming a massive golden clock phantom more than a person’s height tall, slowly floating up and down in the void.
At this moment, time seemed to stop, and everything was frozen in place!
Tick.
Tock.
In the next second, the hands of the giant clock phantom began rotating counterclockwise.
At the same time, the surrounding scenery also began changing along with it.
The overturned shelves returned to their original positions, the shattered ceiling and collapsed walls rapidly restored themselves, and the giant fireball formed by the explosion shrank from expansion to contraction before finally disappearing completely…
Time was rapidly reversing!
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
When Leon came back to his senses, he had unknowingly returned to standing at the supermarket entrance with his backpack on.
One of his feet was still stepping forward, as if he was just about to enter the supermarket. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Leon widened his eyes.
He quickly turned his head to look at the clock on the wall.
The time was exactly pointing to seven o’clock in the evening.
He had actually returned to ten minutes ago!
A layer of sticky sweat instantly seeped out of Leon’s palm.
He nervously looked around.
The blazing fireball, people’s terrified screams, and the realistic feeling of being blown away by the explosion all surfaced in his mind…
In other words… ten minutes later, this supermarket would explode!
Thinking this, Leon said nothing and immediately turned around to run.
He sprinted all the way until he reached a restroom in the distance.
There was nobody inside the restroom.
He turned on the faucet and washed his face before gradually calming down.
Leon looked at himself in the mirror, a trace of fear appearing in his eyes.
If he had not had Clockmon’s Skill Card, he probably would have died in that terrifying explosion just now.
Logically speaking, he had originally wanted to evacuate the people in the supermarket and tell them there was a bomb here.
But he also did not know how to explain it to them, and he might even expose the abilities of the Digimon System.
In order to protect himself, he could only choose to stand by.
Buzz buzz…
Just as Leon was thinking this, the Digivice in his arms suddenly vibrated.
He immediately took out the Digivice and glanced at it, opening the continuously flashing Mission function.
[Special Mission Triggered]
[Special Mission: Deadly Countdown: Before the countdown ends, find the bomb and the culprit]
[Mission Reward: Crest of Courage]
At the same time the mission began, a countdown also appeared in the upper left corner of the Digivice.
[9:45]
“Special Mission?!”
Leon could not help freezing.
He still remembered what Mirei had said.
Special Missions could only be triggered under specific conditions.
He had not expected that after using the “Time Destroyer” Skill Card to reverse time back ten minutes, he would actually trigger a Special Mission.
Moreover, the mission reward was extremely generous.
DigiCrests were one of the necessary conditions for first-generation Digimon to evolve.
With the Crest of Courage, Koromon would be able to evolve into Ultimate or even Mega in the future!
But this mission was different from before.
He had just been caught in the explosion and only survived because of Clockmon’s Skill Card.
Next time, no one would be able to save him.
What should he do… give up the mission?
Leon began hesitating internally.
If he carried out the mission, he would have to return to the supermarket and face the threat of death again.
If he gave up the mission, he would not obtain the Crest of Courage.
[9:40]
[9:39]
Who knew how difficult Special Missions were to trigger?
Maybe if he missed this opportunity, there would never be another one.
Damn it, he couldn’t care about that much anymore…
Leon gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind.
He could only risk it!
However, even if he chose to carry out the mission, he could not just swagger into the supermarket to look for the bomb.
Once he was caught on camera, it would cause another huge problem if it reached S.H.I.E.L.D.
He needed to think of a safer method…
Right!
Suddenly, Leon thought of something.
He looked around the empty restroom, then took a purple capsule out of his pocket.
This was precisely the reward he had obtained after completing the “Punish Evil and Promote Good” mission back then—Basic Transparency Potion.
[Name: Basic Transparency Potion]
[Type: Consumable]
[Rank: Rare]
[Attached Ability: After using this potion, the user enters a transparent state and cannot be discovered by the outside world.
Duration: 10 minutes]
[Note: This consumable is a one-time-use item]
Leon did not hesitate at all and swallowed the purple capsule.
In an instant, an unbelievable scene occurred.
His hands gradually became illusory and transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immediately afterward, his entire body began turning transparent.
Under the light, he could still vaguely see his body, but he had completely vanished from the mirror, as if he did not exist.
“Good!”
Leon clenched one fist.
With this form, he would not need to worry about being exposed.
However, only now did he react.
Changing time in the Marvel world was not exactly a good thing.
After all, this world had some great and mysterious existences who had guarded Earth since ancient times, maintaining reality and time.
Since he reversed time just now, perhaps they would discover him.
But there was no time to think about that now.
He had to complete the mission before the countdown ended!
…
At the same time, Kamar-Taj.
This was a secret place located in the Himalayas, the magical sanctuary guarded by the Sorcerer Supreme in legend.
Inside the majestic sanctuary hall, a massive Earth sculpture rotated in the air.
Not far away were two figures.
One was a fat man wearing red robes, sitting and carefully reading a book; the other was a bald woman wearing white robes, her eyes closed as she sat cross-legged in quiet meditation.
At this moment, a green point of light suddenly appeared on the Earth sculpture, its light flickering.
“What happened?” the bald woman asked with her eyes still closed.
“This is… a time fluctuation?!”
The fat man in red robes set down the book in his hands.
When he looked at the green point of light on the Earth sculpture, a surprised expression appeared on his face as he said, “Master Ancient One, someone interfered with the timeline!”
Hearing his words, the Ancient One slowly opened her eyes.
Her expression remained calm as she said, “Wong…”
“Find him!”
