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

This is the truth I seek!

As the words fell, Reshiram's body, enveloped in a crystal emitting a faint red glow, emerged from the dissipating smoke.

Crystallized Reshiram, attribute: Crystallized Fire!

Behind Reshiram was Su Hao, who was making a throwing motion, and Articuno, who was protecting him. They met Dark Lugia's angry gaze. Su Hao chuckled and retrieved the Crystal Bead, which had become dim because he had used up all the Crystal Energy to crystallize Reshiram.

The crystal beads, which should have been able to crystallize indefinitely, have turned into what they are now. Is it really because of differences in scale...?

Then, it's time to sound the horn of counterattack!

"Leshiram, Qing Yan!"

Adorned by the brilliance of the crystal, the azure sea of ​​fire, both beautiful and dangerous, burned away the black vortex that Dark Lugia had unconsciously gathered, completely engulfing its body, which seemed to be an aggregate of evil.

【Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! You bastard!!!】

Watching Dark Lugia writhe in agony in the sea of ​​blue flames, emitting agonizing screams that seemed to tear the very soul apart, Reshiram thought to himself.

Dark Lugia, unlike you who fight alone, I have a group of reliable teammates behind me.

Having dealt with some of the black cyclones and water tornadoes stirred up by Dark Lugia, the slightly disheveled Zapdos and Moltres flew over and swallowed hard as they watched the blue flames that were constantly burning Dark Lugia with its desires as fuel.

Goodness, this flame is, in a sense, the perfect counter to Dark Lugia.

As a legendary fire-type Pokémon, Moltres understands the extraordinary nature of Blue Flame even more. It is something that its own life flame cannot match, and perhaps only Ho-Oh's sacred flame can rival it.

Since it possesses such powerful flames, why bother having that Fiery Roaring Tiger come to it seeking instruction?

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

Chapter 845 From this moment forward, the ocean here will no longer flow.

Seeing the miserable state of Dark Lugia, Zapdos flapped its wings, its expression somewhat hesitant:

It seems this matter is now settled, and our prepared backup plan is no longer needed. We can now begin preparations to seal it away?

It would have been better if Zapdos hadn't spoken. As soon as it finished speaking, Su Hao, Articuno, and Reshiram all looked at Zapdos with reproachful eyes.

Why did you have to make such a bold statement? What if Dark Lugia really retaliates?!

Stared at by three pairs of accusing eyes, Zapdos was both confused and aggrieved. Had it said something wrong?

Hey, look over there...!

At that moment, Moltres's shocked voice rang out. Following its dazed gaze, Dark Lugia, which had been writhing in agony, had stopped writhing and its screams had come to an abrupt end.

Despite his body and spirit being constantly scorched by the blue flames, Dark Lugia remained eerily quiet...

[Hehehe, so this is what they call Azure Flame? The stronger the opponent's desire, the more fiercely it burns, but—]

Do you really think that with this level of blue flame, you can burn away all my hatred, my anger, and my desire?

[Youngster...don't look down on people!]

If it can burn away all my endless desires, then give it a try!

Dark Lugia's hoarse, cold voice echoed through the secret realm like a banshee's shriek. Reshiram reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, and from Dark Lugia's center, boundless malice, evil thoughts, and desires swelled forth.

For a moment, even the Azure Flame couldn't burn away these endless negative emotions. Dark Lugia took advantage of the situation and took flight. It was like a demon god returning from the abyss, exuding endless malice and a chilling aura.

Su Hao's expression immediately turned ugly. Even though he had tried his best to overestimate Dark Lugia, the negative energy that could reverse the status of a legendary Pokémon that should be of the Lawful Good alignment was still far too immense...

[Darkness... Cyclone!]

With a savage grin, Dark Lugia paid no heed to its body, which was scorched by the blue flames. It let out a howl and shriek, and countless black vortexes swirled around its body, turning into a black vortex of air that seemed capable of destroying everything. It violently surged out with a suffocating sense of oppression!

Even the vortex of storms created by a Dynamax Pokémon's Max Airstream is nothing more than a slightly larger ant in the face of this dark vortex.

Moltres turned pale. Although it had always wanted to fight Dark Lugia, it was also well aware of how terrifying Dark Cyclone, which was derived from the Lugia clan's exclusive move, was.

Not to mention the dark power emanating from Dark Lugia's soaring malice, which has propelled the power of the Dark Cyclone to a whole new level!

Shock as it may be, neither the three legendary birds nor Reshiram can afford to sit idly by and wait for their doom.

The combined power of fire, lightning, and frost caused the legendary Pokémon's attacks to collide, shaking the once-sturdy secret realm. This meant that the high seas secret realm was falling towards the main world at an increasingly rapid pace.

Even with the addition of the three legendary birds, Reshiram's intertwined flames, enhanced by the crystallization, were barely able to counteract the dark cyclone unleashed by Dark Lugia.

Reshiram's gaze toward Dark Lugia held a hint of surprise.

As the inverted form of an ancient god, Dark Lugia's power is as unfathomable as the ocean. Although his own blue flames were burning continuously, they could not be affected by the malice and other negative emotions constantly surging from Dark Lugia's body.

Seeing that his furious attack had been blocked, Dark Lugia merely sneered and manipulated the seawater that had been flowing back in to rise into a black waterspout that connected heaven and earth, whipping up endless hurricanes that indiscriminately attacked everything around it.

At this moment, the reversed god is unleashing its power.

Dark Lugia didn't care whether its attacks were blocked or not; from the very beginning, its victory conditions were gradually approaching it as time went by.

Hahaha! There's only one hour left, time is running out. What other methods do you have to take this time?

Do you like me? Bring it on!

As the main force against Dark Lugia, Reshiram naturally bore the brunt of Dark Lugia's firepower.

However, the clash between two legendary first-class spirits will only accelerate the fall of the secret realm.

The three divine birds, who were dealing with the aftermath of the battle between the two first-class legendary level beings, also understood this. Su Hao looked at the Z-bracelet on his wrist, which was inlaid with the fire-type Z-pure crystal that he had redeemed again, took a deep breath, and knew that now was not the time.

Su Hao shouted, "Articuno, use your back move!"

Moltres and Zapdos also sent messages.

Our people are almost here, Ice God, you shall begin!

Articuno, whose flapping wings had frozen several black waterspouts, paused, then nodded slightly.

【it is good! 】

Moltres and Zapdos flew to Articuno's side, helping it defend against Dark Lugia's indiscriminate attacks.

Articuno, meanwhile, hovered in mid-air, eyes closed, beak open, emitting a cry that seemed to pierce through space—

"Bah!!!!"

Outside the secret realm of the high seas, within the secret realm of the Articuno that had been hovering in the air for a long time, fourteen Articuno surrounded the shrine in the center of the secret realm, closing their eyes to rest.

Suddenly, the slightly smaller Articuno in the very center opened its eyes. Just now, it had sensed the call of the Ice God.

Skadi looked at her kin and said passionately:

Now, the time has finally come for us to help the Ice God, for the glory of the Articuno clan!

The other thirteen Articuno also shouted in unison:

For the glory of the Articuno clan!

Within the snow-covered secret realm, a blinding, icy blue light suddenly shone, and the transparent jewel enshrined in the center of the shrine also began to glow.

The eyes of all fourteen Articuno gleamed with an unwavering determination to win.

The Frozen Bird Secret Realm, whose scale is in no way inferior to that of ordinary secret realms, began to move towards the High Seas Secret Realm at an extremely fast speed, merging with it like a flowing river flowing into the sea!

Within the secret realm of the high seas, in the distance of the battlefield, atop the highest peak of Ice Island, the figures of fourteen Articuno appeared along with a snowflake-shaped shrine.

Dark Lugia, locked in fierce combat with Reshiram, narrowed its eyes. Just moments ago, the descent speed of the secret realm had suddenly increased again, but it hadn't done anything about it...

Dark Lugia's gaze fell on Articuno, which was being protected by Moltres and Zapdos in the distance. Its intuition told it that Articuno had done something.

After flapping its wings and repelling Reshiram, Dark Lugia sneered:

【Hehehe, whatever you do is futile, keep struggling!】

But the next moment, Dark Lugia's sneer froze.

Articuno's voice, as cold as ice that has never melted for millennia, echoed throughout the entire secret realm.

The Ice and Snow Shrine has been restored to its original position. From this moment forward, this secret realm will be governed by new rules.

Within this secret realm, the ocean will cease to flow, transforming into solid ice that will never melt.

As Articuno finished speaking, the raging sea, under the control of Dark Lugia, instantly transformed into a mountain of ice emanating a chilling aura.

The depth of the freeze reaches all the way to the seabed.

Dark Lugia's expression changed drastically. It sensed that its authority as the sea god was being sealed... no, it was that it had nothing left to command!

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

Chapter 846 Three Constraints

That was a miracle that was impossible to achieve in the main world. Articuno gained partial control of the Secret Realm by integrating into the Ice Shrine of the Secret Realm, and the Secret Realm itself was a cage that Lugia had prepared for himself.

Only under the right circumstances, with favorable timing, location, and human factors, can the authority of a first-class legendary deity be sealed away.

Once the secret realm descends upon the main world, even with such a trump card, the three divine birds can only slightly reduce the scope of the natural disasters caused by their authority.

However, if it were in this secret realm, its authority might be sealed off, and the God of Ice proved this possibility at this moment.

If it only had the three divine birds, it could still hold its own against them with its physical abilities, but now the opponent also has the help of the True Dragon.

This is troublesome.....

Dark Lugia's face was frighteningly gloomy; it finally understood why the three legendary birds were so fearless.
