Chapter 835 Arceus Appears
Chapter 835 Arceus Appears
The light from the seventeen stone slabs grew increasingly intense, like seventeen ignited stars. The energy they poured into the center of the vortex grew stronger and stronger, and the vortex, which had been slowly twisting, gradually began to rotate at an accelerated speed. The sense of "emptiness" at the center became more and more obvious, like an indescribable, conceptual "point".
Just when everyone thought this strange phenomenon would continue, the vortex suddenly stopped spinning.
Absolute stillness.
Immediately afterwards, the "empty" center point, without any warning, "collapsed" inward.
It was not a contraction of matter or energy, but an "erasure" at the level of existence. In that instant, even light, space, and even the observer's "perception" itself seemed to be sucked into that singularity.
Then--
break out!
A beam of light—indescribable by any known color—or perhaps more accurately, a "negation of light," erupted from the singularity. It did not illuminate, but rather "revealed." All witnesses did not see it with their eyes, but rather "understood" the appearance of this "being" directly in their minds.
It was a pure white and sacred being, elegant and enormous, filled with an ineffable tranquility and compassion. Light flowed from its body like water, yet it was not dazzling; instead, it carried a warm, comforting quality. The seventeen stone slabs ceased their output, silently floating like stars guarding a monarch. This being bowed slightly, as if gazing upon the tiny humans beneath its feet, its gaze piercing the barrier between body and soul.
The seventeen stone slabs hummed in unison the moment it appeared, their light flickering, as if they were cheering, or as if they were... worshipping.
“This is… Arceus?!” Cynthia was the first to react. As the strongest trainer in the Sinnoh region and the one who knew the most secrets, she had seen a blurry image of Arceus in her family’s ancient murals.
"Is this Arceus? The creator of Dialga and Palkia..." Akari's eyes burned with fervor. His lifelong research, obsessive pursuit, and near-mad obsession were proven to be no illusion at this moment.
Even the usually cautious Apollo couldn't help but reveal a greedy look in his eyes.
“I thought that the ‘Mewtwo’ created by our Team Rocket was enough to slaughter all gods, but now it seems… I was naive.” Apollo’s voice was very soft, almost drowned out by the silent pulse emanating from the “light” itself, reaching straight to the soul.
"Although the possibility is extremely slim, if we could get our hands on a few cells from Arceus, perhaps Mewtwo's power could reach an even higher level."
"Just as I thought... Every headache I get is related to this guy..." Yang Ming struggled to stay awake.
"Are you alright...? Do you want me to heal your wounds?" Cattleya held Yang Ming's arm with concern, she could feel his body trembling slightly. This wasn't the fear one feels when facing a powerful enemy, but a deeper, almost instinctive discomfort and resistance.
“It’s no use, this isn’t something you can cure,” Yang Ming shook his head with a wry smile. “Remember the parable of Geji Flower? She said I would be reduced to ashes. At first, I thought I had died at the hands of Giratina, so I did my best to avoid Giratina’s pursuit. Now it seems… heh, I never thought fate would be waiting for me here…”
"Stop thinking nonsense..." Cattleya quickly covered his mouth, "If you die, who will argue with me..."
Meanwhile, the atmosphere had become tense. The remaining members of Team Galactic had gathered around Akari. They were silent, but the fanaticism in their eyes revealed what they wanted to do.
This is the moment to reshape the world.
Apollo's eyes flickered. Although he showed no intention of making a move, he was quietly gathering his subordinates, preparing to act when necessary.
Cynthia silently blocked the two of them, waiting for the surrounding trainers to rush towards her.
Just then, a huge figure moved!
It wasn't the Crimson Sun, nor Apollo, but that Giratina that was being controlled!
"After hundreds of years of planning, it's finally time to reap the rewards," the shadowy figure on Giratina's back murmured, its eyes filled with an almost morbid fanaticism.
Unlike the Crimson Sun, who wanted to use Arceus to reshape the world, this was a purer, more twisted possessiveness.
"We can't let him succeed!" Cynthia shouted sharply. "Garuda, use Dragon Dive!"
Mega Garchomp let out a roar and then charged toward Giratina like a shooting star.
Red Sun and Apollo also did not hesitate, sending out Mega Gyarados and Mega Houndoom to join the battle. For them, stopping the shadow was the top priority.
However, the shadowy creature didn't take the combined attack of the three Mega Pokémon seriously.
"Yukshi, Emrydo, Arknom, stop them."
The three-headed legendary Pokémon, now under control, soared into the sky, joining forces with the previously controlled Galarian Moltres to block the group.
"Damn it, this guy controls way too many legendary Pokémon!"
The crowd looked grim. Although the four legendary Pokémon were not strong enough to suppress so many experts, they were enough to hold them off.
What's even more terrifying is that the Shadow now controls even more powerful legendary Pokémon.
A stronger God!
"Dialga, Palkia, attack it from both sides!"
Dialga and Palkia, these two majestic beings symbolizing the origin of time and space, have now become puppets in the hands of the shadowy figure, their eyes bloodshot as they lunge toward their creator.
And these are not all of his trump cards.
Just as Arceus's attention was drawn to Dialga and Palkia, a dark figure suddenly appeared from behind and entangled Arceus tightly.
This is Giratina from the previous timeline. Now, like Dialga and Palkia, it is completely controlled by the shadow.
"I went to great lengths to control Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, and incidentally disrupted the balance between the real world and the inverted world of this era, all to lure you out."
A Master Ball had appeared in the shadowy figure's hand, and he was now closing in on Arceus. The Master Ball gleamed with a cold, dangerous light, like a trap waiting to devour everything.
“Arzetus… Heh, what a perfect, what a sublime being. The cornerstone of a world, the source of all legends.” The shadowy figure’s voice was hoarse and frantic, with an unsettling tremor. “This power can only be used ‘correctly’ in my hands!”
However, just when everyone thought the situation was hopeless, a sudden change occurred!
