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

The little diamond timidly spoke: "[Zer...Xerneas, do you know me?]"

She was a little scared because she had never communicated with Xerneas before and didn't know what kind of attitude Xerneas had towards her.

I never thought you'd find it, little one.

Xerneas remains in a withered state because he has only linked to the power of the self-separated authority, but has not re-integrated. His physical form cannot yet revert to its original state; only his consciousness has awakened.

Xerneas's consciousness, carrying a soothing quality, gently enveloped the tiny diamond fragments.

Perhaps due to the influence of the power of life, Xerneas's self-identification of gender is more inclined towards female, so now He and Little Diamond are like a mother and daughter, affectionately together.

After a long pause, Xerneas said, "You should leave quickly; Yveltal's deathly power will strike again soon."

He opened a small spatial rift to release the small diamond fragments into the Realm of Life and Death, knowing that he would soon be unable to withstand Yveltal's power.

Celebi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Xerneas, tell me what happened."

He wanted to know why Xerneas had given a portion of his authority to the little diamond.

After a moment of silence, Xerneas seemed to have figured something out, and explained: "Little one... the little diamond is my child."

Su Hao: "???!!!"

Seraphim: "666"

Small diamond: o(〃\u0027▽\u0027〃)o

Suppressing his urge to retort so as not to interrupt Xerneas's explanation, Su Hao continued to listen.

Xerneas's voice carried a hint of reminiscence: "At that time, Yveltal and I maintained a balance of mutual restraint, and this child suddenly emerged from my very being."

Logically speaking, even the descendants of our divine beasts should belong to their own race.

For some reason, the little one wasn't Xerneas after birth, but rather a tiny diamond.

Su Hao couldn't help but ask, "Um... just a quick question, aren't the little diamonds born from eggs?"

Xerneas's voice held a hint of strangeness, yet he answered matter-of-factly: "No, she was born directly from my very essence."

However, as long as they are my children, their race doesn't matter. Little Diamond grew up in the ecosystem fostered by my fairy aura, but unfortunately, it didn't last long.

After finishing this statement, Jerniaston paused.

Whether it was Su Hao, Celebi, or Little Diamond, they all knew that what followed was the reason why Xerneas chose to sever his authority and send Little Diamond away.

Xerneas continued, "[Yveltal's power has suddenly increased significantly. It won't be long before His dark aura overwhelms my fairy aura, and the power of death will devour everything within this realm of life and death, except for me.]"

He knew that the competition between Him and Yveltal had lasted for countless years, and whoever won, the loser would only turn into withered wood or a cocoon of destruction and fall back into slumber.

But now Xerneas's fairy aura contains tiny diamond fragments, and he cannot stand by and watch his powerless child be devoured by the power of death.

After much deliberation, He decided to open a spatial rift to release the small diamond fragments into the Secret Realm of Life and Death.

However, fearing that the newborn little diamond would not fare well outside, it did not hesitate to sever part of its own authority and the power of the fairy aura and seal it into the little diamond's body.

In this way, the small diamond can stably mutate towards Diancie, and it will not be unable to break through to the legendary level because the power of the Diancie race has been handed over to the current Diancie Queen.

Xerneas is now

He had turned into a withered tree and was asleep. It was the aura of the small diamond that was "connected by blood" to Him and the lost part of His authority that awakened Him.

After Xerneas finished speaking, he looked lovingly at the little diamond and said, "Go quickly, I will wake up again when my slumber ends."

Little Diamond's eyes filled with tears as she sadly asked, "How long will I have to sleep?"

【have no idea......】

【I don't want it!!】

Little Diamond darted into Su Hao's arms, looking at him pleadingly.

In her heart, besides Xerneas, Su Hao was the person she trusted most. Su Hao could solve problems in all sorts of magical ways, so perhaps Su Hao had a solution.

While comforting Xiao Suizuan, Su Hao asked Xerneas about an idea.

"Will your authority affect the mutation of the little diamond, Diancie?"

No, authority is merely a manifestation of certain rules; her mutation was predetermined from birth.

"Then, no problem." Hearing this, Su Hao revealed a confident smile.

He switched to the Waveguide private chat channel and made a proposal to Little Diamond.

"Na na!"

Small diamonds are fine, small diamonds are okay!

Su Hao and Little Diamond exchanged a smile.

Zergha, Xerneas: [?]

Su Hao picked up Little Diamond and stood up, saying to Xerneas, "Xerneas, please take back the power from Little Diamond."

"Both Little Diamond and I are confident that we can find our own path!"

They planned to use the talent of the small diamond itself, through the light within the radiant stone, to construct the authority of Diancie that belonged only to Su Hao!

"Na na!"

I want to forge my own path and create a power that belongs only to me, just like the first Diancie Queen in the story!

So, Xerneas's mother, don't worry about me.

[As long as you and Su Hao are here, I can do it!]

Xerneas, a legendary Pokémon and deity who has lived for countless years.

At that moment, she experienced for the first time the joy of being a mother as her child grew up.

Blazing Roaring Tiger: So I'm not a second-generation god, huh?

Diancie, Little Diamond

Chapter 114 The Grand Evolution

......

I have received the return of power.

A seven-colored fairy aura unfolded, and the withered tree gradually transformed into a Pokémon with large, colorful antlers and a deer-like appearance.

Xerneas's body is blue and black, and he has eight large beige horns on his head that look like tree branches. Each horn has two branches at the end and is decorated with orange, red, purple and light blue protrusions, with the colors on the left and right sides being opposite.

His head was covered in dark blue skin, and two horns grew on either side of his face, with the base of the horns extending down to his eyes and nose.

Xerneas's eyes are the same color as his fur. His pupils are shaped like the letter X, and his body also appears X-shaped when viewed from the front.

The blue part of His body extends outward from the fur on His chest and curves upward at the end, like two blue horns. The rest of His body is black, with a blue stripe along His spine and a small, bushy black tail at the end of the blue stripe.

His limbs are like hooves with hooks pointing forward at the tips, and their main edges, like the horns, are beige, forming a cross shape; the lower half of the forelimbs shows even more beautiful patterns.

Zernas

The return of authority had no effect on Little Diamond; her mutation progress remained at 99%.

Celebi, floating nearby, exclaimed in amazement: "The highest level of life authority can be relinquished so easily. How wondrous are humans and Pokémon!"

Smiling and shaking his head, Su Hao asked Xerneas, "Are you still going to stay here?"

Xerneas's power has been fully restored, and with his body restored, he can now move freely and even leave this secret realm.

In response to Su Hao's question, Xerneas shook his head and said seriously, "Without my restraint, Yveltal will eventually devour the secret realm and then descend into the real world to continue absorbing all life with the power of death."

This is His duty; He will neither leave nor run away from it.

Xerneas's deep blue eyes stared straight at the other end of the secret realm, where the Cocoon of Destruction lay.

After a while.

【let's start. 】

The little diamond is now on the verge of mutation. After discussing it with Xerneas, Su Hao, and Rabi, they decided to carry out the mutation ritual here.

"Hey~"

I will...do my best!

Little Diamond has a very strong will, and now she has a clear goal.

Complete the mutation, grow stronger together with Su Hao, seize your own power, and then help your mother!

......

Before Xerneas used the Power of Life to strengthen the fairy aura to help Little Diamond mutate, Su Hao took the Radiant Stone and specifically sought out Xerneas to discuss it.

The small diamonds that emitted the light within the radiant stone have absorbed much of it, and the radiant stone is now slightly dull.

Su Hao suggested taking advantage of the opportunity of the little diamond's life sublimation to completely absorb the radiant stone.

As a powerful first-order deity, Xerneas was very curious about the light within this Radiant Stone.

This was an energy He had never seen before. Although the total amount of this energy was not much, its quality and status made Him feel that the [light] was stronger than His own fairy energy.

When Xerneas asked Su Hao where he got the Radiant Stone, Su Hao could only say that he obtained it by accident.
