Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 355 The Four Gods of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Gather! Affection for Clouds!

"The Heart of the King?"

Guangmo recalled the contents of the stone tablet on the first floor.

He possesses the heart of a king. This was followed by a series of praises.

Courage, hope, kindness, dreams, adventurous spirit, no hatred, acceptance of all, loving heart, the power to inspire all people, the power to illuminate all people, never lost.

Similar descriptions exist in the three-layer system.

A heart full of love, the power of love, the ability to communicate with all living beings, and the ability to read the future and destroy tsunamis.
It contains both "virtue" and "true power".

"However, virtue is also a kind of power. When this virtue is bestowed upon a person, can that person be considered to possess the heart of a king?"

That's right. By passing the trial, you can choose one power to take away from the King's Heart, and you can only obtain one.

When you reach the final hurdle, you must rely on your own strength.

[Since there are two of you, in this final battle, I will use these four Pokémon. I will materialize them from the "dream" and temporarily transform them into my allies.]

Dreams and ideals converged like a vortex, intertwined like a spiral, and ultimately gave birth to Unity. King's Heart is precisely the method that utilizes that spiraling power.

The Pokémon were no exception; their dreams had also converged here.

[Following the King, there were four Pokémon who once lived alongside us; they were called—]

【Four Gods. 】

The ancient crown began to glow, and as its light intensified and changed, four enormous "Dream Pokémon" gradually formed within the fourth layer!
no doubt!

Guangtai was quite surprised: "Thundercloud, tornado cloud, land cloud, and lingering cloud!"

“They look different.” Gadaria looked at the four Pokémon. “Is it a form change?”

"Also, what is 'lingering cloud'?"

The young lady frowned, her charming expression turning quite confused.

The legends of the first three clouds have existed in Unicron since ancient times, but what about the fourth one? Is there really a fourth cloud? Why have I never heard of it before?

Guangtai looked behind the stone tablet. On the central stone tablet altar, behind the ancient crown, an ancient mirror inlaid with three kinds of cloud decorations suddenly appeared.

The Mirror Reveals!
In the animation, this mirror is hidden deep within the underwater ruins, but it can only be found by using Meloetta as a switch.

In the game, the Revealing Mirror is not easy to obtain in Generation V.

Although it is placed in front of the Shrine of Abundance, you cannot take it.

This is because the Revealing Mirror is a precious mirror used to change the appearance of the Three Cloud Gods.

However, the three cloud gods captured in the game are all in gay form, that is, in "avatar form".

Therefore, you also need to use the Pokémon AR Finder to capture the mythical Pokémon Landorus in the Dream Rift, and then teleport it into the main game in order to obtain the Reveal Mirror.

Its strangeness is no less than that of saying, "How do I get this equipment? You have to clear this dungeon. How do I clear this dungeon? You need this equipment to clear it."

“Juanlianyun shouldn’t be here because she has been held by someone, and that person is probably still alive. So since ancient times, there have been almost no legends about Juanlianyun in the world.”

"I never expected to see the lingering clouds here."

However, considering that this is a manifestation of the dream of the Four Cloud Gods, it means that they are not their true selves here.

Even in a dream state, the land cloud, thunder cloud, and tornado cloud still recognized the light moss.

The underwater ruins already had a place for them to be worshipped, but they never expected to be summoned in their dreams at this time.

"A Pokémon from a dream has come to reality? Interesting, this is the first time I've encountered a battle like this."

Cattleya was in high spirits.

Guangtai pondered this.

It's not surprising that Pokémon come out of your dreams; you've experienced that before. But to take on continuous challenges in a dream, or even project those challenges into the real world, is something else entirely.
Yes, there are indeed some!

For example, "Dream Sky Lien Chan"!
This was supposed to be a special battle initiated by Arceus. In the Green Age, after the protagonist completes the main quest "The Pokémon Known as God" and the side quest "The Dawn of Green," they will be summoned by Arceus in a dream.

This is much more exciting than any battle tower or challenge facility. The Four Clouds Challenge is divided into two parts.

The first time it was "incarnation". The second time it was "spirit beast".

"Be careful, their true form is their spirit beast form; their usual state is just an illusion of 'avatar'!"

"In their spirit beast form, their power is even greater than before!"

Although the total base stats of the spirit beasts remain unchanged in the game, with only a slight adjustment to their distribution, in the anime and manga, the four cloud gods in their spirit beast forms are indeed far stronger than in their original forms!
The legendary Pokémon that should be fighting against them are the Three Swordsmen!
"Ladon!"

The land cloud let out an approving roar.

I heard you destroyed the tornado cloud and the thundercloud in the Tower of Heaven?

Great, very energetic, no points lost!
As expected of the shrine priest I chose, you deserve great credit for the bumper harvest in the Unova region this year!

Thunderclouds and tornadoes are extremely annoying!

Last time I followed the wrong person, and the other side made a mistake in command. All I wanted to do was take the grass-green orb, but I never expected to get beaten up like this!
The last round doesn't count!

Watch us brothers dominate the game!
Back then, we were in our avatar form, not fully utilizing our abilities; at most, we were only at maturity. It's only when we reach the spirit beast form that we reach our complete form!
We have a power boost from the underwater ruins, and the dream state provides a pain reduction buff. This time, we are determined to avenge our defeat!
Juanlian Yun's expression as she looked at Guangtai was somewhat subtle. She didn't recognize her, but she could feel a sense of familiarity.

She said nothing, only began to gather her strength. Guangtai knew this strange behavior was reminiscent of the Green Washing Era, right? If she had returned to the Green Washing Era, there were only three possibilities.

First, he was thrown there by the alpaca. Second, he accidentally fell into the Ultimate Cave. Third, he did it to get the "Origin Ore"!
After much thought, the only thing worth touching in Xicui is the Origin Ore.

[Let's begin! If you don't defeat them within the specified number of moves, you will still be expelled!]

The Heart of the King is not a power that is so easily obtained!

[It is precisely because you lack the ability to appease them that you must fight them.]

A true king possesses the power to coexist equally with all life, therefore, Pokémon will not attack him, and the crown naturally belongs to him.

Guangtai paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter:

"So, if I can calm them down, does that mean we don't have to fight this battle?"

[That's true. However, the tornado and lightning clouds covet your treasure, and the land cloud wants to fight you again. The four gods here will not obey your commands; these four bodies are merely formed from the energy of dreams. In the underwater ruins, they are free.]

The ancient crown naturally refused, but the land cloud's eyes flickered, and it nodded slightly.

In the ancient city, I lost.

But that's because they were controlled by ancient spiritual forces, so that doesn't count.

Even though Guangtai was the person she chose, shouldn't we at least have to fight her again?

Especially now that it is in spirit beast form, its wild side has awakened, and even the not-so-warlike Earth Cloud can hardly suppress the wild power in its heart!
But Guangtai shook her head: "That's not necessarily true."

“Longing for the clouds.”

The moss spoke to the silent, lingering clouds:
"If you are truly a partner of 'Wusi,' then you are either a fellow divine being or someone who serves the Great Lord of the Divine Realm."

"Please help me."

The cloud, which seemed to care about familiar faces, didn't actually recognize them. History hadn't yet covered them up; it just felt a sense of familiarity.

But it was precisely this sense of familiarity, and the moment the other person uttered "I think," that made Juanlianyun realize something.

So, the person in front of me is a descendant of Shenhe. Then, it must be him.

Previously, Arceus's avatar was summoned in an incredible way and descended upon the ruins of the capital city. After a heavy snowfall, the history of the capital city came to a complete end.

I have told myself this.

After a long silence, Juanlianyun first shook her head, then nodded gently. Under the incredulous gaze of the Three Cloud Gods, she switched sides and drifted to Guangtai's side.

She didn't know this person from Shenhe, but she knew that if she helped the person in front of her...

I think they will be very happy.

It wasn't to help this person.

It was simply to make his mistress happy.

After all, Shenhe had nothing left.

The ancient crown fell silent, greatly shocked, unable to comprehend why one of the Four Gods would suddenly betray it.

However, the remaining three cloud gods didn't care, because they were not on the same side as the Cloud of Longing.

[An unexpected result! However, even with one of the Four Gods missing, celestial phenomena can still be disrupted!]

One of the four gods rebelled, putting considerable pressure on the ancient crown. As a result, it decided to unleash the true power of the ruins before it.

Anyway, the second batch of "unfilial descendants" who came in for their desires and ambitions are also eager to obtain this crown, so let this battle become even more intense.

It wasn't just to gain the King's approval; whether it was the unexpected visitor before them, the unworthy descendant and the rightful king, or the three powerful auras that had already arrived from afar.
Then, the underwater ruins began to shake violently, and with the repulsion of the force in the seawater, the underwater ruins were brought back to the surface!
The seawater was separated into a square shape. The ancient crown could do this on its own without the need for the Meloe Tower as a power source. The fourth layer opened with a roar, and a strong beam of light shot into the sky!

The three cloud gods roared and rose into the dark, cloud-covered sky. The power of the wind, the power of the thunder, and the power of the earth began to converge and surge wildly!
Among them, Land Cloud roared first!

Threatening!

Intimidate your opponent upon entering the fray, causing them to back down and reducing their attack power!
"Good heavens," Guangtai muttered under her breath.

Controlling the four gods to fight and summoning the indestructible power of the sea—isn't this Team Rocket's "Storm Plan" from the anime?

As a result, the ancient crown was used. As for Giovanni's world, he was only thinking about challenging the black skyscraper to train himself!

Meanwhile, a massive amount of elemental energy also surged from Juanlianyun's body.

The light moss connected the soul with this ancient cloud god!

At the same time, the Tree of Connection sent out a quest.

[Festival Mission: The Challenge of the Underwater Ruins!]

[Description: A person who accepted the ancient city's request, reached the fourth level of the underwater ruins, and attempted to obtain the "Heart of the King"!]

[Rewards: 30 Released Jewels, Dream Link (Part 3), Spiral Power x1!]

"As one of the oldest fairy gods, legend has it that its love will cause new life to sprout on the verdant land, hence it is called the God of Spring."

"If anyone does anything to waste life, the spirit beast in the form of the Cloud of Longing will appear from the sea of ​​clouds and angrily unleash merciless punishment."

"Cherish Cloud, use [Spring Storm]!"
