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

"Our goal is simply to find out the position and thoughts of the three mythical birds who claim to rule the land; there is no need to risk our lives to force our way in."

After a moment of silence, the group nodded slightly, agreeing with François's idea.

Sure enough, a short while later a firebird flew out of the clouds and headed towards the three islands in the center.

A short while later, the Moltres returned, as if taking over the task from the Zapdos. The Zapdos, which had just destroyed the small stone, stopped right in front of the five people.

After sizing up the five people, Zapdos turned its back, glanced at them, and gestured for them to follow.

Chu Ya and the others immediately showed joy; it seemed the three divine birds were willing to see them.

.........

The five followed Zapdos and arrived unimpeded at the summit of the mountains on Thunder Island, one of the three islands.

Here, countless peaks stand tall, and muffled thunder rumbles in the thick thunderclouds above. The Zapdos that led the way brought them to a rocky summit that could accommodate several people, then respectfully retreated and disappeared into the swirling clouds among the mountains.

The group's gazes fell upon the three highest peaks directly opposite them. It was obvious without even thinking that these three peaks of equal height would become the resting place of the gods.

Sure enough, with three high-pitched and ethereal cries, three creatures exuding a terrifying aura flew and flapped their wings, scattering glistening ice shards, dazzling sparks, and brilliant flashes of lightning.

The five people were stunned. Was this the legendary divine bird? ...What a noble and majestic figure it was!

Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres landed on the three mountain peaks in turn. Since Thunder Isle is Zapdos' territory, it naturally landed on the central mountain peak.

They looked down at the five stunned people, then looked away and exchanged knowing glances through a private telepathic chat.

Because of the distance and altitude, the five people couldn't really see any change in their expressions.

Moltres: "Judging from their expressions, they must have been intimidated, right?"

Zapdos: "It seems that Yi... Su Hao was right. If we make a grand entrance with more special effects and stand on a high place, the opponent will be intimidated on their own."

Articuno: "Stop talking nonsense and just stand there with your momentum intact. Let Su Hao go and communicate with them."

That's right. Even though Articuno had already sensed someone approaching, it still put on a show based on Su Hao's instructions. The Zapdos that led the way and the Moltres that pretended to deliver the message were both arranged by Su Hao.

It seems to be working well now.

The five Heavenly Kings from the Five Permanent Members Alliance were completely stunned.

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

Chapter 853 I hit Su Hao? Really?

They couldn't wait for the three divine birds to speak, so before the five could explain their purpose, their pupils constricted and they trembled violently as if in an earthquake.

Although the specific facial expressions of the three divine birds are not clearly visible, their general outlines are still intact.

But... what did they see?

A person jumped off the back of the Ice God!

The five people's hearts were like a stormy sea on a stormy night, with towering tsunamis surging up, completely unable to calm down.

Who is that person? Where does he come from? What is his purpose?

Just as the group was in shock, Zapdos, which had just disappeared, broke through the clouds and reappeared. The person who had gotten off the Ice God got back on its back and flew towards the mountain where the five were.

As Zapdos approached, the five finally got a clear look at the mysterious figure.

Their first reaction was that he was too young, like a young Asian boy who was a high school or college student.

Immediately afterward, under the questioning gazes of David Carlisle and Austin, Chuya and François were shocked when they saw the newcomer's face. Even Sophia frowned, as if she had seen this person somewhere before.

Chu Ya was dumbfounded. No, why would her best friend's eldest son be at this event?!

François was deeply impressed by Su Hao. After all, it was this guy who defeated the French team he was leading in the national youth tournament. Not to mention, he had stayed up all night studying Su Hao's information before the official match. It would be hard for him not to be impressed.

Sophia just felt that Su Hao looked familiar; it seemed like she had seen him before last year...

Looking at the expressions on the three men's faces, Austin asked in a low voice, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty, "You know him?"

David Carlisle stared intently at Su Hao, his expression somewhat grim.

He didn't know the Asian boy, and all he could think about was whether the three legendary birds, especially Zapdos, had made contact with other humans.

Su Hao touched Zapdos's feathers, which felt slightly electrified, and felt a slight tingling sensation in his palm. He turned to look at the five people and examined them one by one.

When Su Hao's gaze swept over Chu Ya, who was looking on in shock, he winked at her before looking away.

As expected, the World Alliance Conference ultimately concluded that the Five Permanent Members Alliance should send the Four Heavenly Kings to test the attitude of the Three Divine Birds.

Chuya, who is on the far left, is someone I recognize. Next to her are François, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of France; Austin, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Great Britain Alliance; Sophia, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Northern Bear Alliance; and David Carlyle, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the White Eagle Alliance.

Su Hao's gaze fell on David Carlisle. He had specifically looked him up beforehand. This man was not only one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but also the patriarch of the Carlisle family of the White Eagle Alliance. He should be Ophelia's father.

Judging from the unfamiliar look in David Carlisle's eyes, it seems Ophelia really did suppress what happened with Tran Carlisle.

"Cough cough..."

Clearing his throat, Su Hao drew the attention of the five Heavenly Kings to himself. To be honest, he felt a little smug; these powerful figures in their respective alliances were now waiting for him to speak...

"Gentlemen, you four need not introduce yourselves. You are all prominent figures in your respective alliances, and I know the purpose of your visit..."

Before Su Hao could finish speaking, Austin suddenly said, "You know us, but we don't know you."

Before Su Hao could react, the Zapdos behind him couldn't hold back any longer. The electricity under its feathers crackled and popped, and its angry voice echoed in their minds through telepathy.

[How dare you! Who gave you permission to interrupt the Divine Envoy?]

"Oh, I'm so sorry..."

Austin scratched his head and shut up, looking annoyed.

Su Hao first calmed the ruffled Zapdos, then looked at Auston. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but this Elite Four member representing ordinary trainers in the Great Britain League seemed a bit simple-minded...

"Ahem...it's alright." Clearing his throat to ease the awkwardness, Su Hao looked directly at Austin and smiled, "It's no secret. My name is Su Hao, from the Divine Continent Alliance, currently representing the God of Ice, the God of Thunder, and the God of Fire."

You should negotiate.

"Representatives from all the major leagues can ask me any questions."

From the China Alliance!!!

Although they had a premonition when Su Hao spoke in the language of the Divine Continent Alliance, which is the common language, after he personally admitted it, the memories of Su Hao quickly surfaced in the minds of the few who searched for the name.

He is the genius who discovered EGA evolution, led the Shenzhou Alliance team to victory in the National Youth Championship, and became famous all over the world!

The group simultaneously turned their questioning gazes to Chu Ya. "This is someone from your Divine Continent Alliance. Do you dare say you know nothing about it?"

Chu Ya: (.?_?)

Why are you looking at me like that? If I knew, I wouldn't be looking so shocked!

After a moment of silence, Sophia, who finally remembered seeing Su Hao and Riolu, who had royal blood, paired up at the party in Ordron, asked, "What is the current stance of the Three Divine Birds?"

Su Hao glanced at her and said without hesitation, "Neutral, do not establish contact with any alliance."

However, they will all listen to him, and will help the Shenzhou Alliance when necessary. Su Hao did not mention this.

Austin asked, "Regarding the high seas occupied by the three divine birds, could the restrictions on their passage be lifted?"

Su Hao shook his head: "No, after the secret realm descended, this place is now their territory."

François, seemingly lost in thought, then asked, "Could we organize a team to train and explore here?"

Su Hao shook his head: "No, other human trainers are not allowed to enter here."

The atmosphere immediately fell silent. Looking at Su Hao, who remained unmoved by reason, the expressions of the first few people who had asked questions were somewhat unpleasant.

The range of the Ice God's frozen circle is the range of the secret realm's descent. Su Hao's words are tantamount to directly abolishing all the alliance's preparations for the high seas secret realm over the past year. After working hard for almost a year, not only did they not gain anything, but they also need to repair their fleets again.

David Carlisle was completely unwilling to speak at this moment. The God of Thunder already had a messenger, which meant that all his plans had become empty talk.

Chu Ya, being watched by the other three, was caught in a dilemma. To be honest, she didn't want to use her relationship with Su Qing or Su Hao's status as a member of the Divine Continent Alliance to morally blackmail him; that would be wrong.

Su Hao naturally knew what Chu Ya was struggling with. Didn't the people who asked the questions feel that their energy and money had been wasted, since Articuno and its crew had even occupied the high seas?

He had already thought about this, and Su Hao didn't want to put Chu Ya in a difficult position. There was also a Dark Lugia that was being purified on the island, and the safest approach was to avoid conflict with the major alliances around the world.

Su Hao chuckled: "I understand your concerns. The God of Ice, the God of Thunder, and the God of Fire have also made a decision regarding this matter."

"They have no intention of conflict with humans, so come and fight me. Regardless of victory or defeat, you will receive a feather from the three divine birds."

"In exchange for this, all major alliances must recognize the high seas of the Pacific Ocean as the territory of the Three Divine Birds."

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

Chapter 854 Double Standards

Regardless of winning or losing, you will receive a feather from one of the Three Divine Birds!

The men's eyes widened; they knew exactly what this meant.

Even a feather containing just a trace of the power of the three legendary birds is a priceless treasure to any trainer.

Even Elite Four level Pokémon, after comprehending the divine power contained in the feather, have a certain probability of breaking through, at the very least achieving a small level breakthrough, and their battle power will undergo a qualitative leap compared to before.

In any case, their purpose in coming here was simply to verify the position and attitude of the three divine birds. It was not worth making enemies of the three ancient divine birds for a mere piece of international waters.

They also knew a bit about Su Hao. He had probably become a little arrogant after being chosen by the Three Divine Birds and wanted to test his strength.

All it takes is to accompany him in a Pokémon battle to get a legendary bird's feather; this deal is practically a guaranteed win.
