Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

"We'll hold them off! Core Punisher!" Zygarde also noticed something was wrong. Just as it unleashed a powerful beam of light from the crack in its chest, a terrifying laser beam struck again in an instant!

The scorching energy forcefully destroyed Z God's attack. The latter dared not dodge and could only cross his arms in front of him, doing his best to protect everyone.

When the energy dissipated, Zygarde's arms were badly damaged in several places, and a huge charred patch remained on his chest.

"Damn it...they've already discovered us!" Xiao Lan's face was ashen.

“That’s right. Since you arrived here, all your movements have been under my surveillance.”

A slightly mocking voice suddenly came, and everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and a giant beast that was shining with golden light appeared in front of them!

It resembled a giant dragon formed entirely of light, with faint black prism armor visible on its body; four pairs of claws were symmetrically distributed on its sides, each extending into a ferocious giant wing of light, while a long, slender tail of light dragon swung back and forth behind it.

"How about it? This is my latest masterpiece, Ultimate Necrozma." Acromuma flew in front of everyone, riding on a Genesect. "This is the one that attacked you from thirty kilometers away."

"Impossible!" Upon hearing this number, Xiao Mao's first reaction was that it was nonsense.

“That’s a fact.” Acromima casually pushed up his glasses. “Ultimate Necrozma’s power surpasses all the legendary Pokémon you’ve ever seen… If you don’t believe me, you might as well try it.”

"Alright, attack together!!" Xiao Lan suddenly gave the order, and Ho-Oh, Mewtwo, Rayquaza, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde attacked simultaneously, unleashing their signature moves at Ultra Necrozma!

"Photon Surge!" Akromma countered with a command, and Ultimate Necrozma suddenly unleashed endless beams of light, instantly annihilating all energy!

"This..." For a moment, everyone's expression turned solemn.

The creature they faced was indeed incomparably powerful…

Chapter 865 Crisis, the Collapse of Zygarde

The combined attack of the six first-level gods was easily dealt with, leaving Xiao Lan and the others with solemn expressions.

“A surprise attack…that’s completely ineffective against Ultimate Necrozma.” Acromuma shook its head dismissively. “Its body is made entirely of light, and its range and speed have been amplified to match those of light. Your reactions are simply no match for it.”

"Heh, that sounds really terrifying." Little Blue suddenly grinned. "I'm quite curious, how exactly did you create this thing? The raw materials used to synthesize it aren't even from the same world!"

"Trying to stall for time? No problem. As a scientist, I have an obligation to introduce my creation to you... even if it's just an imperfect half-finished product." Akroma seemed to see through Little Blue's thoughts, but still leisurely decided to explain.

However, such a Versailles-esque statement really makes one want to roll their eyes.

This is only a half-finished product?

If you actually manage to produce a finished product, wouldn't you have to ride an alpaca's neck to deliver the results?

"Since I couldn't capture my Nebula, I had to use your Lunayara instead. Initially, the fusion of the three powers wasn't going smoothly," Akromma began to explain. "But thankfully, I found this."

He casually flipped his hand and produced an antique-style crown from who-knows-where, displaying it to everyone.

"This is... the Crown of Aurora?" Upon seeing the crown, which resembled the Crown of Valla, Xiao Lan's heart skipped a beat, recalling his previous conversation with Acerola.

“I didn’t expect you to recognize it too. You truly are a genius I value.” A hint of appreciation flashed in Akromma’s eyes. “I found this in the Ultimate Metropolis. It’s the collection of Investigation Captain Cionira… and also a treasure passed down from his ancestors.”

"So it was him?!" Xiao Lan suddenly realized.

It turns out that Cionila is actually a descendant of the Alora royal family hidden in the metropolis!

The reason he encouraged Xiao Lan's parents to research the fusion device and suddenly wanted to 'rescue' Necrozma was because he felt the opportunity had arrived to fulfill his ancestral ambitions!

"It's really ironic. He possesses a treasure, yet he doesn't know how to use it; he's even abandoned the very essence of the Alola, yet his greed continues." Acromorama seemed quite moved as well. "You could say he's blind to its value. He didn't even realize that the diamond-shaped gem on the crown is the Ultimate NecroZeneca!"

The crown has a groove on the front, shaped like the notch on a Z-Ring that holds a special Z-Ring, which was originally placed there for Ultimate Necrozma's exclusive Z-Ring.

In the legends of Alora, the first beings to appear on the horizon were the Radiant God and the Sun and Moon Gods, who brought light to the dark land.

Later, the Radiant God fought against the Guardian Deity Tapu, and the light that leaked out gradually transformed into Radiant Stones, Z-Crystals, and the auras of Totem Pokémon.

The Z-Moon, the exclusive Z-Moon of the Radiant God, was left in the Alola region at that time, and later ended up in the hands of the Alola royal family.

The first and subsequent generations of Apollo and Luna were drawn to that Z-Crystal, which is why they agreed to form a bond with the Alola royal family and left behind two flutes as tokens of their connection.

Unfortunately, the Alola royal family, in order to satisfy their own greed, voluntarily abandoned everything they had created and came to Metropolis to start anew.

In the process, they abandoned tradition, forgot history, and completely lost the opportunity to properly use the Z-Mod, the exclusive weapon of the Radiant God!

"In short, I obtained the Ultimate Necrozma Z from this world and used it as a fusion medium, finally allowing Ultimate Necrozma to officially appear," Acromuma concluded.

"Theonila is indeed a fool driven by greed... Everything she painstakingly pursued ended up benefiting you in the end," Little Blue said sarcastically, though she felt bitter inside.

This is going to be terrible...

She saw it all too clearly: Akromah was willing to talk to them so much because she was confident in her abilities.

Even worse, this guy probably has two Ultimate NecroZx!

That Z-Crystal was clearly an item that could completely control Necrozma; otherwise, this light dragon wouldn't have been so obedient to Acromma.

He used the Z-Crystal of this world as a fusion medium, so the exclusive Z-Crystal of his own world must be on him!

That thing probably doesn't just serve a control function...

Xiao Lan glanced at it secretly and sure enough, she found a Z-powerful bracelet on Akroma's wrist!

“I was delayed for a while, and the total solar eclipse is about to begin. I have to get to Alola.” Acromorma prepared to act again. “That person is hiding in Alola, right? His decision this time is more logical... He’s hiding behind the Sun and Moon Gods, and he’s sending you cannon fodder to your deaths first.”

"Commit suicide? We're here to stop you! Keep attacking!!" "Screech!!"

With a roar from Xiaolan, Ho-Oh unleashed a torrent of scorching holy fire at Ultimate Necrozma!

"Drink up!" "Roar!"

Mewtwo and Rayquaza roared simultaneously, unleashing their full power with Psychic Devastation and Draco Meteor Shower!

"Iksha!" "Igalai!"

Xerneas activated Earth Control and then unleashed the full power of the moon; Yveltal also suddenly spread his blood-red wings, and the energy of Deathwing exploded!

Finally, after a brief period of charging, Zygarde unleashed another powerful Core Punisher!

The second round of fierce battle has begun, and all the first-level gods are giving it their all, determined to keep the enemy bogged down in the Ultimate Metropolis!

"Celebi, Articuno, you guys attack too!" "Zetzart, go!" "Latias, Latios, Raikou, charge!" "Tianci, I'm counting on you too!"

While the top-tier gods and the ultimate boss were locked in fierce combat, Xiao Lan and the others were not idle either. They sent out all the second-tier gods and phantom beasts that were traveling with them, with their target being Akroma himself!

"Hmph, attacking trainers?" Akromah pushed up his glasses, unfazed. "These kinds of things are better suited to my side."

With a casual wave of his hand, several Poké Balls suddenly appeared, and four Genesects carrying different cartridges appeared one after another, along with a Keldeo standing tall and proud!

Using these manipulated subordinates to block the sneak attack, Akromar himself quickly moved to a new position aboard the Crimson Genesect.

At the same time, the attack from the first-level god also hit Ultimate Necrozma to its surprise!

But the enemy didn't care about its wounds at all. It moved at an extremely fast speed and arrived in front of Zygarde in the blink of an eye!

"You're the strongest, right, Alloy Claw!"

"Let us show you our power! A thousand arrows at once!"

Unable to charge up its power, Zygarde could only unleash a barrage of earth arrows, but they were instantly burned to nothingness by the intense heat of Necrozma. The sharp claws of light also cruelly tore through Zygarde's chest and dug into its body!

"Prism Laser!"

"Whoa!!" Zygarde let out a scream as a thick laser pierced through its body, even breaking through the barrier of Ultra Dimension and blasting straight into the Alola region!

"Zigold?!" Serena exclaimed immediately in concern.

"A mere minor injury, we... What?!" Zygarde was shocked. It wanted to repair its body immediately, but its complete form collapsed inexplicably, quickly turning into two cores and a group of powerless cells.

To make matters worse, Z2 was also injured in the attack just now!

“Zygard, the Guardian of Order, I know how to deal with you.” Acromorma appeared next to Necrozma, holding a special truncated octahedron in his hand.

That thing exudes a strange power and is constantly stealing Zygarde's cells!

“This is the Zygarde polyhedron, something I seized from that world. It’s really effective,” Akromar explained leisurely, not forgetting to add a sarcastic remark, “Speaking of which, while the technology level here is also quite good, it’s all just mediocre stuff that’s useless for improving strength.”

"Damn it..." Xiao Lan cursed under her breath. She looked at Zygarde and found that he could only maintain 50% of his form. Z2 had already been sent to Nanami for treatment.

Our strongest fighting force has actually collapsed like this?!

Chapter 866 The Third Stage, Descent of the Radiant God!

Zygard polyhedron... Who would have thought that Akromar would pull out another artifact during the battle?

Seeing Zygarde barely able to maintain his serpent form, Xiao Lan could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

The enemy they faced truly pushed the limits of technological power.

This guy is truly terrifying, and incredibly meticulous. I reckon he already had a plan in place when he saw Zygarde's attack through the Ultimate Cave last time.

It’s difficult…

Legend has it that the powerful warriors are gradually showing signs of fatigue, and their strongest fighting force has been halved, making the situation truly precarious.

"Woo!"

"Lugia?" A clear cry came from the sky. Little Blue looked up and saw that Lugia had unleashed a powerful aerial blast, barely managing to halt the enemy's advance!

Seeing Lugia fighting so hard despite being severely injured, Xiao Lan was also startled awake.

She shook her head vigorously, banishing the despondency that had lingered in her heart, and once again rallied!

"Everyone, keep your distance and engage it in close combat. We cannot let it get past us under any circumstances!!"

They're going to take a desperate gamble!
