Chapter 832 The Temple of Beginning
Chapter 832 The Temple of Beginning
Before he could react, the entire Pillar of Spears began to shake again, and the entire Reverse World began to tremble.
"What happened?"
The fighting crowd was startled by the sudden tremor and stopped what they were doing. Even the legendary Pokémon that had been controlled ceased their attacks. At the top of the Spear Pillar, a dazzling light shot into the sky, and within the light, a gigantic figure could be faintly seen.
It is a palace.
It was an upside-down palace suspended in light. The glazed tiles refracted fragmented light, and the massive stone pillars grew in a way that defied gravity, like wedges driven into this place from another world.
"What is this?" Gadriya asked in disbelief. "How can a palace be floating in mid-air?"
“Compared to this, the floating palace is nothing,” Yang Ming said solemnly, pointing to the sky above. “Look at that.”
Cattleya looked in the direction he was pointing and almost screamed.
The originally gloomy "sky" suddenly turned as blue as the sea, no, to be precise, it was the sea.
The ocean that surrounds the Sinnoh continent.
In the center of this ocean lies a vast continent, and the shape, layout, and coastline of this continent are exactly the same as those of the Sinnoh region.
Countless astonished gazes converged on this upside-down continent. Time seemed to freeze, and even the air seemed to stop flowing.
“This is…” Gadriya’s voice trembled slightly, a rare occurrence, “the Sinnoh region… reflected in the 'sky'?”
“No, to be precise, we are hovering above the Sinnoh region,” Yang Ming’s voice was deep and calm. “We are currently in outer space, looking down on the Sinnoh region from an angle similar to that of an artificial satellite.”
The surrounding air seemed to have been sucked out, and each syllable fell heavily in the vacuum-like silence.
“Space?” Gadriya repeated subconsciously, her gaze unable to leave the inverted, familiar yet strange land. She saw the iconic ridgeline of the Sky Crown Mountains, the three almost imperceptible blue dots of Heart Lake, Will Lake, and Wise Lake, and even… she saw the area in the distance that should have been the location of Veil City, but was now filled with eerie shadows.
“This is impossible…” she murmured, “The rules of the reversed world… space is chaotic, but how could this be…”
"For some unknown reason, the spacetime in the Sinnoh region has been completely disrupted, to the point that even the Reverse World has been affected," Yang Ming glanced at the black figure riding on Giratina and said coldly, "And if I'm not mistaken, something happened in the Sinnoh region during the time we were in the Reverse World."
"Something happened?"
Gadriya carefully scanned the Sinnoh continent above her head and indeed discovered something amiss. The part that originally belonged to Eternia Forest was now engulfed in flames, while the port city of Canal City in southern Sinnoh had begun to separate from the main body of the continent.
"How...how could this have happened?!" Cattleya suddenly became anxious. "You'd better think of something quickly!"
Yang Ming shrugged: "I'm the island king of Alola, not one of the Elite Four from Sinnoh. Why should I worry about this? And aren't you the Elite Four member of Unova? Why are you in such a hurry!"
At this moment, Gadriya completely ignored Yang Ming's teasing. She stared intently at the inverted Sinnoh continent, the unfolding disasters causing her immense anxiety. Although she was the Elite Four member of the Unova region, Sinnoh was her home, especially since she was currently in the inverted world of this land, witnessing the collapse of her homeland firsthand.
“I…” she gritted her teeth, as if she had made a great decision, “As long as you are willing to help me, I… will agree to anything you ask.”
“Even if you become my wife, it won’t help,” Yang Ming stopped joking with her. “Listen carefully, because the spacetime in the Reverse World is extremely distorted, we can’t find a stable passage back to the real world. Let alone saving Sinnoh, we can’t even go back now.”
"You mean... we can't go back?" Gadriya's heart sank. If things continued like this, forget about saving Sinnoh; they might end up spending their lives in the Reverse World.
"Are we really destined to spend our entire lives here, watching Sinnoh be destroyed?"
“It’s not that bad,” Yang Ming pointed to Jero, who was still in a daze. “My friend here is an expert on the Reverse World. With him around, we won’t be stuck here forever.”
Gadriya's eyes lit up: "That's great! Let's ask him to take us out right away!"
“But his spaceship is destroyed,” Yang Ming sighed. “If we want him to take us back, we’ll at least have to repair the spaceship first. By then, Sinnoh will probably have sunk long ago.”
Caldelia was truly desperate now; she could tell that Yang Ming wasn't joking with her this time.
“But don’t despair too much,” Yang Ming said in a deep voice. “Since we can see the scenes of the real world, it means that the barrier between the reverse world and the real world is beginning to weaken. Maybe we really do have a chance to get out.”
"I just don't know what that guy's purpose is..."
As he spoke, he looked at the dark figure once more, as if trying to see through the other's heart.
"It has appeared, the Temple of Origin."
The dark figure stood on Giratina's shoulder, his eyes gleaming with excitement and fanaticism. He opened his arms as if to embrace the upside-down palace, his voice exceptionally clear in the reverberating space, even carrying a trembling piety.
"The coordinates of reversed time, the wedge connecting the present and the reversed world... have finally appeared! It was worth all the effort I put in to cause such a complete disruption of time and space!"
His words were like thunder, exploding on the pillar of spears. Cynthia whirled around, her voice sharp as she demanded, "You did this just to make the Temple of the Beginning appear?! Who are you?!"
As a favored daughter of the God and Town lineage, Cynthia is one of the few people in the world who know about the existence of the "Hall of Beginning". She never imagined that someone outside the God and Town lineage would know this secret.
"My purpose is very simple, I think you should be able to guess it." The shadowy figure smiled sinisterly.
A bad feeling suddenly welled up in Cynthia's heart. The other party had gone to great lengths to make the Temple of the Beginning appear, even going so far as to control Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and the three lake gods. Their purpose could only be...
"Could it be that your target is... Arceus!"
