Chapter 509
The arrival of Meowha and the others indeed reversed the situation on the battlefield where Tapu Koko and Cynthia were located.
But even if the situation there is better, the most crucial part of this battle of gods is still the main battlefield on Xia Chi and Necrozma's side.
boom-
The continuous sounds of energy explosions demonstrated the intensity of the battle here.
Not only the sound, but the temperature of the entire sea area had already risen to an extremely high level due to the rampant dissipation of energy.
The seawater had almost evaporated, and apart from Reshiram and Necrozma, who were among the few Pokémon participating in the battle, there wasn't even a single living creature left.
Even Xia Chi could only rely on the barrier formed by his own waveguide power to barely hold on.
He dared not let Rashiram and the others be distracted by his own affairs.
In a battle of this caliber, even the slightest opening would be seized upon by Necrozma.
boom-
Lanlan's small body gripped the giant stick, which was many times larger than herself, making her look like an ant carrying a large tree.
But her movements were effortless, even graceful and relaxed.
Beneath the mask, her eyes burned with the same crimson flames as those on the thorny vines, and her small face was filled with focus and determination.
"Bonnie—!!"
She let out a delicate shout, her small body flipping half a circle in the air, using the centrifugal force of the rotation to push the speed of the thorny vine to its limit.
The fiery red giant club crashed down with the force to destroy everything.
Wherever it passed, the air was ignited by the mixed energy, forming a crimson trail of flame.
The thorny vine club swept out in a perfect arc, crashing down on Necrozma with the force of a mountain collapsing.
boom-!
The thorny vine club struck Necrozma precisely on the side.
At the moment of impact, the emerald green shockwave and the crimson fire wave intertwined, forming a massive energy storm.
Flames exploded on the mirror armor, and the shockwave blew away rocks from the seabed within a radius of hundreds of meters.
On the surface of the mirror armor, several fine cracks spread out like a spider web.
Necrozma glanced down at the crack and let out a low, mocking hum.
It possesses near-infinite vitality; damage to the mirror armor can heal in just a few seconds.
Even if such an attack is repeated a thousand or ten thousand times, it will only be like tickling it.
Those deep blue eyes merely swept over Pengpeng coldly, as if looking at a mosquito that had bitten them.
Then, Necrozma's gaze returned to the pure white figure.
Rahiram.
She is the only real threat.
Deep within Necrozma's consciousness, a memory that had been suppressed for countless years was awakening.
That is an emotion called "fear".
It had almost forgotten what that feeling was.
In its original world, it was the undisputed king.
Those ultimate monsters could only tremble and prostrate themselves before it; no being dared to challenge its authority.
Even Solgaleo, the sun incarnate of that world, which it devoured, was ultimately nothing more than nourishment for its growth.
After it came into this world, everything was as it had predicted.
Human Pokémon are as fragile as paper in its presence, and even the four guardian deities of the region working together cannot pose a real threat to it.
It once thought that this world was no different from its original world, both being hunting grounds where it could plunder at will.
Until this white dragon appeared.
At first, Necrozma didn't take Reshiram seriously.
Although the blue flames could withstand or even temporarily suppress its own prism laser, their intensity was ultimately limited.
With its boundless vitality, even if the blue flames burned for three days and three nights, it would only cause superficial injuries.
Its greatest strength has never been offense.
Rather, it is the vitality upon which it depends for survival.
Over countless eons, Necrozma has devoured countless sources of light.
Every star it devours becomes a part of its life.
Those rays of light were compressed and stored within its body until they were assimilated, ultimately becoming a drop of water in that unfathomable sea of life.
Its health bar is calculated based on the lifespan of a star.
How could a Reshiram's flame possibly burn through it?
But now...
Necrozma felt the fresh wound on his body, just scalded by the blue flames, and a bone-chilling cold surged from the depths of his consciousness.
If the opponent is still at that level of strength, let alone three days and three nights... I'm afraid they wouldn't even last three minutes!
This number evoked in Necrozma a feeling of urgency she had almost never experienced before.
That sense of urgency, being chased by time, is like an invisible hand, slowly tightening its grip on the core.
We can't delay any longer.
Necrozma's gaze involuntarily drifted into the distance.
Melo Melo Island.
The land, barely visible amidst the boiling sea fog, was as clear as if it were right next to it.
Its perception transcends distance, pinpointing a specific location on the island.
There, there was a light it desperately longed for.
That light shared the same origin as Solgaleo, which it had devoured, yet it was even purer and more primal.
That was the light of the Cosmog, the light of the young Star Child before it had evolved to its final form.
Little Nebula.
Necrozma's core contracted violently, like a heart beating greedily.
It could sense that the Cosmogu was in that spot.
Its aura was calm and serene, seemingly unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
Perhaps they are sleeping, or perhaps they are being held in the arms of a human, completely unaware of the danger that is about to befall them.
As long as I can devour it, as long as I can integrate that pure starlight into my core.
A strange streak of light flashed across Necrozma's prism armor.
It devours a Cosmog and evolves into Ultra Necrozma.
That was its sole purpose in coming to this world, its ultimate goal that it was willing to tear through time and space to achieve.
In that form, the blue flames of the white dragon before him would no longer be a threat.
Because the type of Ultimate Necrozma will be completely changed from Psychic Steel, Blue Flame's effectiveness against it will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, Ultimate Necrozma possesses combat abilities several times greater than Twilight Mane form.
By then, even if Reshiram's blue flames were fully stacked, it wouldn't be able to harm it in the slightest.
The white dragon before it will no longer be an obstacle.
This thought grew wildly within Necrozma's core, quickly overwhelming all hesitation and fear.
It moved.
Necrozma suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
There was no warning whatsoever.
Every crystal on its prism armor begins to glow simultaneously.
Countless colors of light refracted wildly between the prisms, eventually transforming into an absolute pure white, like countless suns exploding together.
No, it's even more exaggerated than that.
Because the sun's rays are at least billions of kilometers away, but the light emitted by Necrozma was not buffered by any distance, nor reduced by any medium.
The full-power light energy exploded directly less than a few hundred meters away from Xia Chi.
The entire sea was illuminated in an instant, turning it pure white.
Seawater, reefs, steam, sky, clouds... all the scenery melted away in this white light, leaving only boundless white.
Even the sense of space was smoothed out by that pure light.
Xia Chi subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
The live stream chat exploded with comments.
[Holy crap, what happened? The end of the world?!]
Be careful with your eyes!
[Damn, I was blinded by this even with my sunglasses on... What the hell is this?!]
[Is the tree owl alright? I just heard them calling!]
[Director quickly cuts to the next shot!]
The camera suddenly cut to a sniper owl located to the side and rear of the battlefield.
The angle from which this sniper owl was photographed was partially obscured by a protruding rock, minimizing the impact of strong light.
Although its image was somewhat overexposed due to light reflection, it was still clear what was happening on the battlefield.
The scene in the video made everyone gasp in shock.
The instant the light fell.
No, it wasn't that the light dissipated, but rather that Necrozma deliberately withdrew the white light.
Its objective has been achieved.
That light was never meant to attack, but to blind, to issue a silent command the instant everyone's senses were filled with white light.
The Ultra Beasts have rioted.
Cynthia had just adjusted to the visual residual effect of the bright light and hadn't even had time to re-lock onto the enemies in front of her when she discovered that the Ultra Beasts had suddenly changed their behavior.
The two Bulbous that were fighting her Garchomp suddenly gave up their attack.
Their crimson compound eyes turned in the same direction at the same time.
Then, with a flap of its wings, it bypassed the Garchomp's interception and flew madly towards the steam-shrouded sea.
Cynthia's pupils constricted sharply: "Stop them!"
Garchomp's reaction was fast enough.
With a flap of its wings, its deep blue form caught up with a bursting mosquito like lightning, and its dragon claws slashed down fiercely.
A deep, bone-revealing wound was torn open on the back of the mosquito, and crimson fluid gushed out.
But it didn't even look back.
It just kept flying forward, as if the wound didn't exist.
It's as if nothing else matters in this world except "charging in that direction".
It wasn't just these two muscle-bursting mosquitoes.
All the ultimate monsters on the entire battlefield made the exact same move at the same moment.
They ceased their struggle with their opponent, turned around in unison, and charged towards Xia Chi's location.
The momentum was so fierce, it was as if they didn't care about their own lives at all.
Necrozma is trying to stall for time!
Xia Chi instantly understood this guy's intention.
It intends to use the life of an ultimate beast to hold Xia Chi back.
Or rather, to hold off Reshiram.
Those Ultra Beasts are no match for Reshiram, nor for Milton and Lan.
But there were so many of them that if Reshiram had stopped to clear them out, it wouldn't have been enough to stop Necrozma from reaching Melemele.
If Reshiram doesn't deal with them, those Ultra Beasts will flood into Summer Pool like a tidal wave.
That white dragon couldn't possibly stand by and watch its trainer be besieged.
This is a blatant and overt conspiracy.
They used the lives of countless Ultra Beasts as a bargaining chip to buy a chance.
An opportunity to shake off Reshiram and reach Melemele Island to devour the little nebula.
Xia Chi's gaze turned extremely calm in that instant.
His voice, transmitted directly to Reshiram's mind through his superpowers, said: "Reshiram, don't worry about me, keep attacking Necrozma!"
Rahiram's figure paused slightly in mid-air.
Her slender neck turned towards Xia Chi, and a clear hint of hesitation flashed in her sapphire-like eyes.
From her perspective, the safety of the Alora region was not as important as that of Natsuchi.
Never.
Her only reason for fighting Necrozma was not because that dark behemoth threatened the land.
This reason might be enough to make the Patronus of Alola stand up, but it doesn't matter to her.
Only one thing matters: Xia Chi's instructions.
He was her hero, the one she had waited for across thousands of years.
He wanted to protect this land, so she fought for him.
If his safety is threatened, then Alora is someone she can abandon.
Just like now.
Even if Necrozma were to advance towards Melemele Island, Reshiram wouldn't care.
Whether that island is alive or dead is none of her business.
She only cared about Xia Chi's safety. The Ultra Beasts were surging towards him like a tide, and there wasn't a single Pokémon around him at the moment.
As heroes of the white realm, Xia Chi and Reshiram share a deep connection.
He sensed Rahiram's worry and her struggle.
He took a deep breath and spoke again.
This time, there was no room for negotiation in his voice, only a calm and almost stubborn determination.
"Go quickly, I'm fine here."
Rahiram was silent for a moment.
Then she turned her head, her sapphire-like eyes taking one last look at Xia Chi, and ultimately chose to follow Xia Chi's instructions.
The turbine emitted a high-pitched roar, and the speed suddenly increased to the limit. The pure white figure drew a near ninety-degree right angle turn in the air.
The movement was so violent that it tore the air apart, leaving a clearly visible white shockwave. Then, Reshiram sped off toward Necrozma.
On the other side, Penglan and Milerton were also persuaded to go back by Xia Chi in the same way.
Lanlan landed on the sea, her little feet treading on the boiling water, her eyes behind the stove mask staring straight at Xia Chi.
She saw the Ultimate Beasts surging towards him, and she saw the superpower barrier around Xia Chi that had become thinner.
Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something.
"Bonito..."
Xia Chi smiled slightly at her and used her aura to send her a warm message: "Go ahead, I'm fine. Help Reshiram deal with that big guy, she needs you."
Pengpeng was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
She turned around, and the flames on her hearth mask suddenly surged, her small figure shooting off towards Necrozma like a crimson meteor.
Xia Chi stood alone on the cracked seabed.
The wave of Ultra Beasts had already surged to within a hundred meters.
Looking at the terrifying, dark scene, Xia Chi rubbed his temples.
Looks like I'll have to go myself today...
