Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Even the mischievous Xiao Qi was now shouting wildly along with the other little diamonds.

Super Diancie Queen gently pressed down with both hands, and the small fragments...

The drill stopped its frenzied shouts and continued to stare intently at the sky.

"Next, I will introduce Little Diancie to all the people of the Mineral Kingdom. She is my kin, who should not have appeared in the first place."

As Super Diancie finished speaking, the focus of everyone's attention shifted to Diancie.

"From this moment on, little Diancie will become my sister and the Diamond Princess of this mineral kingdom. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No!" "No!" "Your Highness!" "Your Highness!"

The cheers from the little diamonds were deafening.

Su Hao and Marcia below were dumbfounded. What was going on? What was Super Diancie Queen trying to do?

In the sky, Diancie looked at Super Diancie Queen in confusion, only to receive a sly smile and a voice that only Diancie could hear.

"That way, you can rightfully receive the baptism of the sacred diamond, and those diamond ministers who are rushing here won't be able to say anything."

Diancie paused for a moment, not expecting Queen Diancie to have such a lively side.

After saying this, Queen Super Diancie turned around again and, under the devout gaze of all the little diamonds in the Mineral Kingdom, announced: "Now, let us begin the ceremony of inheritance for the Diamond Princess of the Mineral Kingdom!"

"Show your piety!"

Super Diancie Queen raised her diamond sword, and her magnificent divine power spread out, causing the ores, crystals, and diamonds of the entire Mineral Kingdom to begin to sparkle, with countless points of light rising into the sky.

The bodies of the tiny diamonds also emanated pure, pale golden faith power, which, under the guidance of Queen Super Diancie, flowed entirely into the sacred diamond.

Having done all this, the voice of the Super Diancie Queen was tinged with undisguised weariness. She turned to Diancie and said softly, "Enter the Sacred Diamond. In addition to authority, you can draw upon the knowledge accumulated and left behind by successive Diancie Queens, including many insights into the power of authority. I think this will be of some help in building your own path."

A look of gratitude flashed in Diancie's eyes, and she awkwardly imitated the way Queen Super Diancie had bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Suddenly, a hand touched Diancie's lips, and the Super Diancie Queen smiled and said, "Don't call me Your Majesty, call me sister!"

Diancie was taken aback, then her smile blossomed like a hundred flowers: "Thank you, big sister!"

"Well, let's go!"

------------

Chapter 699 Goodbye, Diancie

A ripple spread across the sacred diamond, and Diancie's figure vanished within it.

Having had such an experience before, Queen Diancie knew that her sister had entered the space within the Sacred Diamond, the place of inheritance that every Queen Diancie had entered.

There, Diancie will gain access to the knowledge, wisdom, and control over power accumulated by successive queens. This is why the mineral kingdom led by each Diancie queen has always been so prosperous, even though there have been successive changes in leadership.

As long as the transmission of knowledge continues, each Queen of Diancie will only become more and more outstanding.

Of course, this was just the idea in the mind of the first Queen Diancie.

In fact, each Queen of Diancie had a different way of thinking, different interests, and different talents.

Nothing in this world is absolute. In Queen Diancie's memory, there were queens throughout history who were not without exceptional talent. How much knowledge and progress one could gain depended on Diancie herself.

Queen Diancie considered herself to be exceptionally talented among all the queens of the past, but after completing her Mega Evolution, she felt that she was far inferior to the original Queen Diancie.

Thinking of the scene in her inherited memories where the first Queen Diancie single-handedly fought against the divine bird that brought death and calamity, Queen Diancie felt that she was still far from reaching her end.

The flames burning in her heart grew even stronger. Super Diancie Queen let out a long sigh, deactivated her super evolution state, and slowly descended back to the castle.

During this time, the tiny diamonds of the mineral kingdom continued to enthusiastically call out the names of the two dians.

..................................

An hour later, the Mineral Kingdom returned to calm. Queen Tianshi, seated on her throne, shook her head and answered Su Hao's question:

"The time required for the inheritance varies depending on talent and progress, ranging from three or four days to one or two weeks. I cannot give you an exact timeframe as to how long it will take for my sister to complete the inheritance."

"I see......"

Su Hao below fell silent for a moment, thinking of Diancie who had entered the Sacred Diamond to inherit the legacy. Although Queen Diancie would certainly not harm it, he was still somewhat worried.

Noticing Su Hao's worry, Queen Tianxi whispered to A-Yi beside her, "Tell the Diamond Minister to wait a little longer. We still have distinguished guests here, and I don't have time to deal with his flattery."

A-Yi nodded and leaped out of the castle like a gust of wind.

Looking at Su Hao, Queen Diancie added, "There is no need to worry. The inheritance poses no harm to us Diancie. It will only affect the duration based on different abilities and talents. The longer you stay, the more inheritance memories your sister can absorb."

"By the way, when I received the inheritance, I stayed in the inheritance site in the sacred diamond for eleven days. My sister's talent is even better than mine, so she might be able to stay longer."

Since Queen Diancie had said so, Su Hao could only accept her words of comfort.

However, before leaving, he had one more question to ask.

Looking up at Queen Diancie, Su Hao asked, "What...is the Great Calamity?"

After a moment of silence, Queen Diancie's voice slowly rang out: "Lord Marshall should know that the Mineral Kingdom was not located here, right?"

Marchado nodded slightly: "That place is now called France, and the current mineral kingdom is deep beneath the Augusto Mountains of Great Britain."

Queen Diancie nodded slightly, her voice calm and unhurried: "You two must have seen those Pokémon that suddenly grew to gigantic size in this mountain range, right?"

Su Hao and Marcia exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

Queen Diancie, her hands gleaming with the light of diamonds, closed her eyes and said, "I cannot go into details, but you only need to know that the reason the Mineral Kingdom is located here is to deal with the source of gigantism, the disaster called the Comet of Infinity."

"The hero of sword and shield is no more. In the not-too-distant future, on the day the dragon of disaster is resurrected, the mineral kingdom will use the power it has accumulated for so long to deal with the disaster."

Su Hao's eyes widened suddenly. The Infinite Comet, the Disaster Dragon, Diancie—could she be referring to the source of Dynamax?

What is the meaning of "headless and boundless"?

Moreover, what do you mean by "the hero of sword and shield is no more"? What happened to Zacian and Zamazent?

Unfortunately, seemingly exhausted from mobilizing the power of the sacred diamond, the radiance in Queen Diancie's hand transformed into a dazzling pink diamond, which, under her control, fell into Su Hao's hands.

"This diamond will light up when my sister finishes her inheritance. You have already been imbued with the aura of the sacred diamond. At that time, even without Xiao Qi, you will be able to reach the entrance passage and enter the mineral kingdom through the guidance of the sacred diamond."

"Of course, if you have nothing else to do, the Kingdom of Minerals would also welcome you two to stay here temporarily."

Queen Diancie's voice slowly faded.

..................................

In the end, after some hesitation, Su Hao and Marcia declined Queen Tianxi's invitation to stay temporarily.

They had to set off; it would take time to leave the intricate underground of the Augusto Mountains.

Considering the upcoming showdown with either the German Alliance or the Indian Alliance, after enjoying the scenery of the Mineral Kingdom for a while under Xiao Qi's guidance, Su Hao and Marchado temporarily left the Mineral Kingdom with Queen Tianshi personally seeing them off.

As Su Hao and Marcia's figures gradually disappeared, a complex expression flashed in Queen Tianxi's eyes.

Even though Su Hao was the one who prophesied the arrival of the Super Stone, he himself had long since lost any chance of interfering.

Queen Diancie disdained to take advantage of the gap during Diancie's succession; her pride would not allow her to do such a despicable thing.

That's all it can do now.

Help Diancie obtain the legacy within the Sacred Diamond and accumulate the power of the Mineral Kingdom to deal with the calamity dragon that will soon be resurrected.

It seems I should probably start thinking about the current state of the Mineral Kingdom.

Back in the dark cave, Su Hao and Marcia didn't move for most of the day.

They exchanged a glance, and Marshall frowned, saying, "This is the first time I've heard of this. I remember the Wuji Comet has already been dealt with, yet there's a prophecy about its resurrection."

Su Hao nodded with a somewhat uneasy expression. If what Queen Diancie said was true, the heroes of sword and shield, namely Zacian and Zamazenta, were no longer there.

So, with the power of Eternatus after its transformation into Giant Infinity, who can stop it?

------------

The update tonight will be a little late, before midnight.

Chapter 700 Advancing to the Top Four

"The German Alliance decisively defeats the Indian Alliance, and team leader Javier Baden declares that the Divine Continent Alliance team is nothing special!"

"A close call! The British Alliance narrowly defeats the Australian Alliance!"

"A crushing defeat! The White Eagle Alliance's genius team crushes the Northern Bear Alliance, securing their ticket to the finals ahead of schedule?"

Just as Su Hao had mistaken something before, they encountered neither Genossecta nor the Dominic heir along the way.

After successfully leaving the underground of the Augusto Mountains and returning to the surface, the cell phone signal was restored. When Su Hao turned on his phone, besides a series of missed calls, there were these news headlines.

Two days had passed since he entered the cave. It was now the early hours of the morning, and the sky was pitch black. Through these news reports, he had a general understanding of the current situation of the international youth exchange competition.

As a mere henchman, Su Hao didn't care about the undercurrents there. All he knew was that when the sun rose, it would be time for the Divine Continent Alliance to fight the German Alliance.

Whether flying or running back, it would be too rushed. After thinking it over, Su Hao asked Senior Marcia to give him a ride and quickly moved towards the hotel's location through the Shadow World.

..........................

Dawn.

The German teams have assembled in preparation for the semi-finals that will begin this morning.

The meeting was hosted by Havel Baden, the leader of the German Union, one of the glorious Grass-type Elite Four of the German Union, a true powerhouse.
