Chapter 836 Purification
Countless energies transformed into a reverse storm, which exploded with a deafening roar centered on Arceus!
"What?!" The shadowy figure froze in shock.
This storm was not an attack, but a purification. The stream of light, imbued with the primordial energy of the universe's creation, flowed like a gentle yet powerful torrent, instantly washing away Giratina, who was entangled with Arceus, and Dialga and Palkia, who were attacking from both sides.
The crimson, twisted control patterns sizzled and corroded in the light, and the three legendary Pokémon let out a roar that was a mixture of pain and relief, and the mad blood color in their eyes receded like the tide.
Almost simultaneously, Arceus's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and ripples spread through time and space, precisely smoothing out the disordered spacetime structure caused by his control. The barrier between the Reverse World and the Real World was re-established under the will of the Creator.
Everyone present suddenly felt their bodies lose their balance, as if they were about to fall from the inverted world.
"What's going to happen this time?" someone shouted in terror.
Only Sinnoh Champion Cynthia remained calm, knowing from ancestral records that Arceus was sending them back to the real world.
Arceus's power continued to spread, affecting not only Dialga, Palkia, and Darkrai, but also Uxie, Memredor, and Azelf, who were further away. Their confusion and madness gradually faded, and they regained their clarity.
"After preparing for so long, I never expected it would end in failure." The shadowy figure muttered to himself, but there was little sense of defeat in his whisper; instead, there was a hint of unsettling amusement.
"However... it was still a worthwhile trip, at least I know that the 'destined' moment hasn't arrived yet."
Suddenly, a black rift appeared behind him, and he and the still-controlled Giratina disappeared from everyone's sight.
"They just ran away like that?!"
Everyone was extremely unwilling. This dark figure had used everyone as pawns, controlling several legendary Pokémon, including Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, and even almost attacked Arceus. Everyone present, whether from the League, Team Galactic, or Team Rocket, was extremely wary of it.
"Speaking of which, why are there two Giratina? And the Giratina brought by that shadowy figure doesn't seem to be affected by Arceus. What's going on?" Cattleya muttered to herself. The events of today were too bizarre, even perplexing this young and famous Unova Elite Four member.
“I think that Giratina may not exist in our timeline, which is why it is not affected by Arceus in our timeline.”
Yang Ming frowned and analyzed that since Arceus released the purifying light, his headache had lessened considerably, and he was able to think and act normally again.
Of course, he had another conjecture that he didn't say: Arceus currently only has seventeen stone tablets, and perhaps it is because he is missing a Clearing Stone that he cannot completely purify Giratina.
"Moreover, I suspect that the shadowy figure may not be from our world. At least, not from our current timeline. It may be an ancient person from hundreds of years ago, or it may have traveled from the future. Of course, it could also be an existence that traveled from another world."
Just like him.
"Alright, you're only just starting to feel better and you're already analyzing things," Cattleya chided. "Can't you just rest for a bit?"
"Now is not the time to rest. Look closely, the surrounding environment is starting to change. We are about to leave the Reverse World."
As soon as the words were spoken, the light of the inverted world quickly faded, and the surrounding scenery peeled away like shattered mirror. The feeling of weightlessness was instantly replaced by the solid touch of being on solid ground—the group had returned to the Pillar of the Spear atop Mount Tianguan. The night sky was clear, the stars were shining brightly, and the air was filled with the scent of earth and grass after the rain.
We're back!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from Arceus, the other legendary Pokémon disappeared from their sight like streaks of light.
Arceus's figure gradually blurred and disappeared. As Arceus vanished once more, the tension among the people on Mount Tianguan rose again.
While fighting the shadowy figure and his legendary Pokémon, everyone present could still unite in their hatred of the enemy. However, once the crisis was over, the three factions—the League, Team Galactic, and Team Rocket—who were already mortal enemies, instantly returned to their original standoff. The heavy atmosphere was even more suffocating than the oppressive feeling of the previous Distortion World.
Because after Arceus disappeared, the seventeen stone tablets continued to float in the sky, becoming objects of contention among the people.
Seventeen stone slabs floated silently in mid-air, like a shattered rainbow encircling the ruins of the Pillar of Spears, their warm yet unyielding radiance flowing under the starlight. Each slab carried a law of the universe's origin, yet now it became the spark that ignited the final battle.
Cynthia's long golden hair fluttered in the night wind. She took a step forward, Garchomp crouching low, its wings slightly spread, emitting a menacing growl. Her gaze swept over the gloomy-faced Crimson Sun, then turned to Apollo, her voice clear as an icy spring: "The relics left behind by Arceus should not become tools for the selfish desires of any party. The Alliance will ensure that they are properly safeguarded."
"Properly safeguard?" A cold smile curled at the corner of Akari's lips. Behind him, the Galactic Team executives and elite members simultaneously activated their Poké Balls, their energy indicators forming a crimson array in the darkness. "Your League's so-called 'safekeeping' is nothing more than another form of monopoly. This decaying world needs reconstruction, and the Slate... is the cornerstone of the new world."
Apollo and his men stepped back a few steps, seemingly to withdraw from the conflict, but those who truly knew him knew that this powerful figure in the Rockets would not give up so easily.
"This is not Rockets territory after all. Let's wait until the Galaxy and the league are both exhausted before we make our move."
Not only Team Rocket and Team Galactic, but even the trainers gathered around Cynthia had their eyes gleaming, each calculating their own moves. To wipe out Team Galactic, Cynthia had not only summoned trainers from the Sinnoh League but also recruited top trainers from other regions. These trainers had little affection for the Sinnoh region to begin with, and their participation was solely due to the rewards promised by the Sinnoh League. Now, with even greater benefits at stake, these individuals could easily betray her.
A silent contest filled the air. The Poké Ball was gripped tightly, and the hand beneath the hem trembled slightly, whether from tension or excitement, it was hard to tell. The energy fluctuations emanating from the seventeen stone slabs seemed to stir the deepest desires and greed in everyone's heart.
