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

Su Hao concluded that ordinary dojo-level practitioners were no different from cannon fodder in this area. As long as they came into contact with this black vortex a few times, they would be eroded by the dark power and become powerless, or even weakened to death.

"Is this still not enough to fully unleash the power of authority...?"

Su Hao frowned deeply, realizing once again what legendary Pokémon meant to this planet. Their power was truly immense, so immense that it filled insignificant humans with a sense of powerlessness.

Dark Lugia must be sealed and purified.

However, before that, we must first find out how Dark Lugia managed to influence this secret realm.

Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos lined up like migratory birds. Su Hao rode on Articuno's back, his gaze fixed on the sea below, which had been forcibly separated by some force.

This place... seems a little familiar.

A sense of unease crept into Su Hao's heart.

The three divine birds exchanged a glance. The firebird left the group, flapping its burning wings. In the next instant, endless heavenly fire descended from the sky, instantly burning the seawater into a large white mist.

The environment below is not suitable for it to enter; its role is to provide support and assistance here.

Zapdos and Articuno, undeterred, charged headlong into the black abyss below, and then—

They witnessed Dark Lugia unleashing a jet-black destructive beam at a circle of spatial tunnels.

Zapdos's incredulous voice rang out.

"How is this possible?! Why would a spatial passage appear here? It shouldn't be able to open inside the secret realm!"

Articuno looked at Su Hao behind it. It remembered that Su Hao had said that he entered the secret realm from here.

Su Hao shook his head: "After I and the Emerald Warrior Eagle entered the secret realm, the spatial passage was immediately closed."

Articuno nodded slightly.

[It seems you opened the spatial portal after you left. Are the people from outside here?]

"That's possible..."

Dark Lugia, which had been continuously spewing destructive beams into the spatial passage, seemed to have sensed the presence of the three legendary birds. It stopped breathing and looked at them with a ferocious gaze.

Then, Dark Lugia's mocking voice rang out.

What a wonderful day! Not only have a few dark-skinned humans opened a spatial portal, but the three cowards who had been hiding on the island have also come out.

Even without affecting the spatial passage, I'll be able to leave this cage in a little while. Now... let's begin the hunt!

The pitch-black storm grew even more violent.

Under the watchful, alarmed gazes of Articuno and Zapdos, Dark Lugia let out a piercing roar that seemed to shake the very soul. The surrounding seawater surged and transformed into a towering black waterspout, hurtling directly towards Articuno and Zapdos!

That wasn't all. Dark Lugia took the opportunity to flap its wings and mobilize the power of the monsoon. A pitch-black storm instantly filled the surrounding space, carrying with it overwhelming killing intent!

Ocean currents, monsoons, and the sea!

Even though Dark Lugia lost its psychic powers and could no longer control these things with finesse, in terms of power and destructive force alone, its attacks infused with dark power surpassed those of the original Lugia!

Ordinary Elite 1 trainers would probably be forced to concede defeat in this situation. Fortunately, those present were not normal creatures.

[Leave the waterspouts to me, the storms to you, let's break through and guide Dark Lugia into the sky!]

As Articuno finished speaking, it used some of its power to protect Su Hao behind it while flapping its icy blue wings, unleashing endless streams of frost that instantly froze all the water tornadoes.

Zapdos, taking advantage of the storm caused by Dark Lugia, brewed endless thunder from the clouds. The violent lightning, like a holy sword cleaving through the long night, directly shattered the dark storm that blocked their path.

However, this is only temporary.

Articuno and Zapdos immediately unleashed their top speed and soared into the sky, disappearing into the distance.

This could create an unfavorable environment for them.

If the seawater flows back in, they will be at a disadvantage against the Dark Lugia, which can move freely on the seabed.

The instant the three legendary birds reunited, Articuno's previously frozen black water tornado shattered, and the black storm broke free of the sea of ​​lightning, completely scattering it!

Seeing this, the three divine birds' expressions became even more solemn.

As expected, the power of Dark Lugia, which had been amplified and was devoid of reason, was simply too great.

According to the original plan, the three of them probably wouldn't be able to suppress Dark Lugia without paying a heavy price.

The moment Articuno and Zapdos's attacks were violently crushed, Dark Lugia flapped its wings and soared into the air, its unrestrained laughter ringing out.

[Hehehe, not bad, you guy with the electricity, you seem to have gotten a bit better than before?]

Is this what gives you the confidence to challenge me?

The three divine birds remained silent, and Su Hao finally understood the source of the anomaly from Dark Lugia's previous words!

Damn it, I don't know which guy targeted the coordinates of the spatial passage he used to enter the secret realm of the high seas, noticed that the space here was weak, so he just brute-forced a hole to come in, and then he was run into by Lugia who was causing destruction nearby!

Where did this idiot come from!

Dark Lugia also sensed that the three legendary birds didn't want to talk to it anymore. And rightly so, they were the least willing to see the secret realm descend, and now they were probably so panicked that their minds were full of thoughts about how to stop it.

The thought of this made Dark Lugia feel a surge of pleasure; it wanted to see their increasingly desperate expressions a little longer.

However, this is contingent on the three divine birds being able to hold out until the moment the secret realm descends!

Dark Lugia laughed wildly, then flapped its wings again, drawing out all the seawater in the area and turning it into countless black water tornadoes that surrounded the three legendary birds.

Articuno spews out absolute zero, Zapdos unleashes an endless sea of ​​lightning, and Moltres unleashes magma energy stored up specifically for this moment, transforming it into a celestial fire.

Through their cooperation, they were able to preserve themselves for a time against the onslaught of Dark Lugia.

But Articuno and the others knew very well that it wasn't enough to just protect themselves; they had to seal away Dark Lugia before the secret realm descended!

While struggling against the Dark Lugia's attacks, their gazes all fell on Su Hao on Articuno's back.

Su Hao took a deep breath, a glint of azure light flashing in his eyes, and called out to the legend he had signed a contract with: "Come out... Reshiram!"

Chapter 844 Reshiram VS Dark Lugia

Even as legendary elves, Reshiram and Zekrom are among the most special.

Unlike other legendary spirits, they can unleash their full power at any time and have no dependence on humans.

Reshiram and Zekrom, these two dragons who pursue truth and ideals, will not be able to unleash their full power without a hero they truly admire.

In other words... as long as they have a hero who can help them uphold truth and ideals, even as dragons born and splitting apart with humanity, their power will not be inferior to that of ancient gods who have existed since the distant past!

As the sky was ablaze with blue flames, burning away most of Dark Lugia's black water tornadoes, the white dragon, shrouded in dark wind and rain, radiated light and heat that seemed to rival the blazing sun. Its pure white and sacred body formed a stark contrast with the rampaging Dark Lugia.

Seeing the dragon that rivaled its own power, Dark Lugia's expression instantly darkened, and its violent gaze fell on Su Hao behind Articuno.

Dark Lugia could see the transparent contract line connecting Su Hao and Reshiram.

[So that's how it is. The True Dragon is your source of confidence. In other words, that human is the real hero?]

[Ha, it seems the strongest dragon on Earth is still half asleep, actually allowing the true dragon to leave its body.]

Dark Lugia is Lugia's counterpart, and naturally possesses most of its memories. Things that Articuno and the others don't understand, Dark Lugia knows perfectly well.

The fighting power of the True Dragon who has found its hero is completely different from that of the True Dragon who hasn't. This is getting a little troublesome...

However, as the battle between himself and Reshiram unfolds, the speed at which the Secret Realm falls toward the Overworld will accelerate. Once it reaches the sea of ​​the Overworld, it will regain its advantage by using the power of authority to mobilize the forces of nature!

Dark Lugia laughed wildly, unleashing a burst of pitch-black light that seemed capable of destroying everything!

Destroy the death ray!

Reshiram was not careless at all. Its tail thrusters burst into brilliant flames, and the enormous heat generated even affected the storm created by Dark Lugia. The atmosphere began to move, the gloom was dispelled, and the sun seemed to bring hope as it poured down.

Overclocking drive mode!!!

Reshiram's dragon head, resembling a white wolf, stood tall, and countless fire energies converged, forcefully creating an environment favorable to itself in this realm of water and wind.

In the next instant, to meet the oncoming black destructive ray, crimson flames ignited, transforming into a massive, intersecting fireball, and engaged in the most intense head-on collision with it.

boom--!

The chaotic surrounding space, the raging shockwaves, and the billowing black smoke all testify to the immense power of the two legendary spirits.

Dark Lugia knew that a single Hyper Beam wouldn't be enough to threaten Reshiram in his current state. It flapped its wings violently, and countless black storms forcefully tore through the aftershocks of the Hyper Beam and the intertwined flames, howling towards Reshiram from all directions.

Reshiram's clear blue eyes narrowed, and the flames spewing from its tail intensified, maneuvering through the air like a jet plane, managing to evade Dark Lugia's overwhelming attack.

Ha, is all you can do is hide and run away?!

Dark Lugia then flapped its wings, riding the gale to closely pursue Reshiram, unleashing its Hyper Beam continuously without any stagger thanks to the legendary Pokémon's physique and vast energy reserves.

Ignoring Dark Lugia's provocation, Reshiram suddenly stopped as he flew over a certain area of ​​the sky, turned around and condensed a flame containing endless light and heat, which collided with the Hyper Beam once again.

The billowing dust couldn't stop the two legendary elves from locking onto each other's positions. Reshiram flapped his white bird-like wings and chuckled softly.

[Dark Lugia, a legend of reversals who only knows how to unleash rage, have you forgotten the biggest difference between us?]

Dark Lugia paused in its process of conjuring the Destruction Ray. It sensed that beyond the smoke, besides Reshiram's presence, was the True Warrior wielding its silver feather.

The aura of the one!

"Too crystalline!"

In the wide, crimson eyes of Dark Lugia, an exceptionally dazzling crystalline light suddenly shone from that direction, and Reshiram's already comparable aura... surged instantly!

[While relying on the power of other legends is not my wish, it would be different if it were to pave the way for my contractors.]
