Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 358 A detailed account of your sins?

"The legendary Holy Swordsman?! Don't get in my way!"

As the power of the three gods increased, Quixote's ambitions grew. However, since he had not been exposed by the light of the Mirror of Revealing, he still retained some rationality. At the same time, he took out a mechanical device that looked like a remote control from his pocket.

Without a doubt, that was another prototype of the Acromere machine.

Looking at the young man before him, Quixote felt a pang of regret:
"If you join forces with us, everything on this land will be within our grasp, ha ha. There are many heroes, but there can only be one king!"

"Now that you've witnessed this power, if you're willing, we can join forces. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Quixote extended an olive branch to the light moss:

"Become a sage! Once you become a sage, you can leave behind legends and beautiful tales. We will bring back the runaway king, correct some of his immature ideas, and the world will mature. How wonderful that would be!"

"One of the twin heroes of the new era has become the king's advisor, and the king will rule Unova and create a new nation where Pokémon and humans can both gain freedom!"

Guangtai chuckled:
"It doesn't matter who the twin heroes are, as long as we can defeat N."

Lightmoss: "Do you see everyone with influence as a hero? By defeating influential people, you gain influence for your own group, so challenging the United Alliance is the same principle."

"You don't think you've got the victory in the bag, do you?"

Quixote sneered, "I have obtained the power of the Four Gods—no, the Cloud Gods. In the underwater ruins, as a descendant of the Harmonia family, I can feel the restlessness and call of that power!"

He exaggeratedly raised his hands: "Even if I am not a king, I can still activate the power of this relic. The closer I get to the ancient crown, the more I feel this way!"

"Don't you understand! The crown means that you must compete with us here. This is your final test! But once we win, we will gain the power to rule over all things in the world!"

"The figures and power of the heroes and Pokémon united everyone's hearts, thus creating Unova."

"If we can bring heroes and Pokémon back to life in Unova, we can win people's hearts!"

"But! If the 'Heart of the King' truly exists, perhaps this goal can be achieved without the identity of a hero!"

"For the sake of the king, I have recruited intellectuals from all over the world and called them the Seven Sages. I will recreate the legend of the Unity and win the hearts of men."

Quixote's body swayed, his eyes turned completely blood red, and an aura of madness gradually emanated from him:

"For our king to ascend to the highest position, the existence of heroes is necessary. Therefore, I have selected qualified individuals from among the young trainers; they will serve as the foundation upon which the king will be trampled."

Quixote chuckled in a low voice: "After defeating the heroes, the king will finally defeat the champion, and at that moment, the hearts of the people will waver."

"Is it a bad thing that the heroes defeated the king?"

"No, that's a good thing!"

"This is a test for the king's growth. I will not eliminate others just because they are powerful, but rather make use of their value. This is the compassion between me and the king."

"Only by defeating stronger heroes can defeating them be truly meaningful!"

Guangtai nodded without saying anything, because this was exactly what Teacher N had done in the original storyline.

However, at that time, he mainly relied on the legendary Pokémon to win the battle, and the death of Alder's partner greatly weakened him. In fact, defeating such a "weak champion" does not necessarily indicate any real value.

But it certainly surprised Hei Lian and Douzi/Douye who arrived later.

In the special episode, Shaka mentioned that the "heroes" were on the battlefield. Including what Da N said, plus the four main characters, there were a total of five heroes at that time.

"He received education from a young age aimed at becoming a hero."

“Of course, I know that too.” Lightmoy interrupted Ghetsis: “Not only that, I also know that you imprisoned him and placed those injured Pokémon around him, which is why the King has become an extreme protector.”

"You instilled a lot of knowledge in him and told him about the pride of Harmonia. As a result, he believed in the founding legend, which is why he made the heroes who led the legendary Pokémon fight with their beliefs to confirm whether he was a true hero."

"That's the result of the education he received from childhood to become a hero."

These are all things that Teacher N did in the original storyline. In other words, no matter when you meet Teacher N, he will always act for this belief.

Even now, it seems that Teacher N has not given up on challenging the Unova Alliance. In short, he still believes in the story of the founding of the nation and hopes to change the hearts of the people of Unova.

"An idealist, but your ideals are somewhat low-level."

Quixote's expression darkened: "What did you say? My grand ideal... it's all for the sake of the Unity!"

Guangtai chuckled: "It's precisely because you can't do it that you need to train others to do it."

"However, you are indeed adept at controlling people's hearts, and perhaps you are also very accomplished in civil engineering."

"You see your adopted son as a heartless monster, don't you?"

Quixote's expression changed in surprise.

How could the person in front of you possibly know the deepest, best disguised part of your heart?

"The red stone tablet at the underwater ruins says the specific conditions and virtues required to possess the Heart of the King."

Guangtai glanced at the red stone tablets not far away and pointed to one of them:
"Let's go through the conditions for becoming king."

"You lack courage; you hide behind the king, and all you do is plot and ambush."

"You have no hope because you are only greedy."

“You lack compassion and think of using the power of convenience as a tool.”

"You have no dreams, because you only have ambitions."

"You lack a spirit of adventure; you're afraid to take risks."

"You possess hatred, hatred for everything and everyone beyond your control." "You also do not accept anything; you only want to take."

"Therefore, you have neither the power to inspire the people nor the power to illuminate them."

“You brought the green-haired orphan out of the forest, noticed his ability to communicate with living beings, and therefore gave him the surname Harmenia.”

"You, who cannot become a hero, only trained a legendary Pokémon for that reason."

"Eliminate those who are in the way. That's just a pretext to create Team Plasma. Why liberate something as convenient as Pokémon? Sure, manipulating Pokémon can expand human potential, that's why! Just make sure only you can use Pokémon."

"And to you, that son is nothing but a twisted monster without a heart."

The more Lightmoat took stock, the greater Quixote's surprise became. This secret was unknown even to those within the Order; only he knew it!
How do you know all this?

How would I know? Of course, it was you who said it in the game.

But Lightmoys didn't feel the need to answer Quixote's question; instead, she simply said thoughtfully:

"In raising your son, you became obsessed with your ever-growing ambition. Perhaps you were once a father who hoped to regain your glory. You gained a lot of knowledge in raising your son, and perhaps with your level of knowledge and skills you could indeed be called a true sage, but you were afraid. Afraid of your own son?"

"This situation arises from cognitive uncertainty and a sense of potential threat. The son can understand Pokémon but not humans, while the father can understand humans but not Pokémon. Therefore, you feel that N is not human."

“Things that resemble humans but are not entirely human can cause confusion and uncertainty in our cognitive system.”

"This uncertainty can trigger anxiety and fear. In the course of human evolution, being vigilant and fearful of the unknown and the unusual has helped us survive."

"If something that looks like a human exhibits abnormal behavior or characteristics, it can make us subconsciously feel that there may be a potential threat, thus triggering feelings of fear."

"The essence of dislike is a form of demanding, an anger stemming from low self-worth, leading to the desire to obtain something from others. It's about constructing a self-image of 'I am better than you' within one's own psychological world."

"So, you feel jealousy, worry, fear, uncertainty, and a boundless wave of negative emotions that engulf your humanity. But after abandoning your humanity, you find that your perception of the world becomes clearer."

"Sir, have you lost your way on your journey, no, on the road of life? However, some truths can only be discovered after you get lost."

"So what I'm saying is that it's normal for you to have these emotions. This just proves that you are indeed a human being and haven't really become a monster yet."

Quixote's face turned completely cold.

However, his heart gradually calmed down.

Because what Guangtai said seemed to be exactly what he was thinking, but he was unable and unwilling to express it.

He understood immediately.

Why do I see N as a heartless monster? Why do I like him so much when he was a child, yet become more and more satisfied, yet more and more fearful, as he grows up?

That twisted mind kept growing in my heart, and the final result is what I am like now.

"I see. I see."

"As expected of a superpowered individual with mental abilities, this is the first time I've ever met someone like you among all superpowered individuals."

"Your superpowers aren't that strong. You don't have the power of those superpowered individuals to move objects or move mountains and seas, but you can indeed see things that ordinary people can't."

"If I had met you sooner, you would surely have become a sage under my command. The world would have been a better place."

"But it's too late now. By saying these words, you have already clearly rejected my invitation. So let's let our actions speak for themselves."

"The king has escaped, how hateful! But the stage has been set for him. As long as we can bring him back, there will be plenty of new heroes! As a former hero, you may leave the stage here!"

"Don't think I can't deal with you just because I've lost my scepter. If you underestimate me, you'll suffer a great loss!"

Under Ghetsis's command, all his Pokémon roared and attacked Lightmoss in a frenzied manner, while he himself laughed heartily. His intense ambition caused strange patterns to appear under his feet, triggering the Reveal Mirror to unleash even stronger energy!

"Cloud gods, tear the legendary holy swordsmen to shreds!"

Quixote used both the array and the Akroma machine to combine the two forces to ensure his control, while the assassin had forgotten that he originally had no way to control the Three Cloud Gods.

This expanding force is actually the tacit approval of the ancient crown.

"Three-headed dragon, use Great Flame Burst!"

Ghetsis has no sense of "not attacking trainers" in his mind. His Hydreigon is very powerful. Although it is an illegal level in the game, it is only for the sake of gameplay. Otherwise, given that Ghetsis has been preparing for many years, if he really took out a level 64-70 Hydreigon, it would probably be able to kill the player.

According to the otherworldly ghettos of Ultimate Sun and Moon, this three-headed dragon's actual level is 66!
The blue super ball rolled to the ground, accompanied by a flash of blue light, and a powerful "Comet Fist" shot into the sky!

The flames that hadn't yet erupted were abruptly suppressed. The central dragon head of Hydreigon took a heavy punch, its chin snapping upwards. And leaping up from the blue light was Riolu, who had a past grudge against Hydreigon!
The blue-haired puppy's expression was no longer calm; its eyes burned with the flames of revenge, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of its mouth.

The hatred of being humiliated on the road to the championship will be avenged today!

At this moment, the figure of Ghetsis's three-headed dragon seemed to have merged with that of Shaka's three-headed dragon. The blue-haired puppy reviewed the previous battle in its mind and had already developed a complete "fighting theory" for dealing with the three-headed dragon!
"What use can a mere unevolved Pokémon possibly be?"

"Don't you recognize this Riolu?" Lightmoy asked back. Gwyneth, his eyes bloodshot, looked puzzled. "How could I possibly recognize something like this?"

Lightmoss: "This is the Pokémon of the trainer you defeated on the Road to Victory. Now it has returned with fury."

Quixote paused for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"There are too many overconfident and foolish people with Pokémon; I have no interest in remembering them all!"

"I see. So this Riolu had a previous owner? It trained hard to get revenge, and the fact that it's in your hands means its previous owner freed it, right? See? That's the power of Team Plasma's speech!"

"One day, more and more people will be freeing up Pokémon! I can use this convenient power all I need to do!"

"Three-headed dragon, get this weakling back somewhere else!"
