Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

"Su Hao, look!"

Articuno, with its sharp eyes, seemed to have discovered something. It pointed with half of its wing at the top of the shield, its expression somewhat excited.

Looking in the direction the Articuno pointed, Su Hao was surprised to find a broken, ice-blue stone slab floating there.

It is the source of energy for the light film!

Diancie asked, puzzled, "Isn't Kyurem supposed to be asleep? Where did the stone tablet fragments come from?"

Su Hao couldn't answer this question either. He could only ponder it in his mind. Surely it couldn't just fall from the sky and hit Kyurem on the head?

Before Su Hao could try to awaken Kyurem, a whistling wind suddenly came from behind him.

Looking back, one could see countless geometric snowflakes pouring into the palace from various entrances. Even though the Ancient Sword Leopard outside tried to stop them, it was still overwhelmed by the sheer number of them.

—After all, a wide-range attack could easily injure the ice sculptures that Su Hao had entrusted to it to watch over.

Before long, the palace was filled with a dense mass of geometric snowflakes, as numerous as locusts covering the sky, pufferfish in the sea, or unknown totems in a spatial rift.

There's no need to count them at all; the number isn't just the thousands of geometric snowflakes nearby, it's probably even the geometric snowflakes above the large cavity that have come over.

next moment.

These geometric snowflakes seemed to have received some kind of command, and began... to take shape!

The dragon's head, body, and even its short forelimbs were ferocious.

Su Hao's pupils contracted sharply, and he murmured, "This is..."

The geometric snowflakes have coalesced into the shape of an enlarged version of Kyurem, just like the fish-like shape of a school of Wishiwashi.

However, in Su Hao's eyes, their energies were not connected, let alone increasing their power like the swarm of wrasse.

But that's not all.

After the geometric snowflakes successfully formed their shapes, the ice pillar stone fragments that had been hovering above the sleeping Kyurem, maintaining only a light membrane and remaining still, suddenly lit up, releasing a dazzling torrent of ice.

It was just like the breath of a roaring ice dragon.

Enveloped by these torrents of ice, the geometric snowflakes were instantly frozen solid.

At the same time, their somewhat abstract Kyurem forms were completely shaped at this moment, and their auras seemed to be forcibly unified and mixed together.

A colossal Kyurem, made of solid ice, descended at this moment!

The emotionless voice rang out again, but this time, the content had changed.

"The Trial of the Void has begun; only those who fill the void can awaken the sleeping dragon."

Chapter 1519 The Unkillable Imposter Kyurem

The moment the words fell.

The giant Kyurem, formed from countless frozen geometric snowflakes, also began to move.

The cold breath, launched at zero frames, immediately targeted Su Hao.

It is foreseeable that once it gets even a little bit cold, it will probably freeze into an icicle.

Without Su Hao needing to speak, Diancie flashed to protect him behind her, instantly unleashing her ultimate burst, a pure yet powerful aura filling the entire palace.

"Light Wall"!

The pale gold psychic wall perfectly blocked the cold breath, which was a special attack.

This also allowed Diancie to discern the true strength of this imposter Kyurem.

First-class legendary level!

"Wow!"

With a cry, Articuno flapped its wings and soared into the air, a sudden gust of wind rising behind it, carrying with it a chilling, icy blue current of pure white snow that swept towards the imposter Kyurem.

The reason Articuno chose to attack without hesitation is—

Based on the knowledge it had accumulated during the time it spent in human society with Su Hao, it was clear that only by defeating the fake dragon in front of it could it rescue the sleeping princess (dragon) inside!

Then the sentient stone slab fragment will also be added to your collection!

Unfortunately, the blizzard, instead of causing any effective damage to the imposter Kyurem's massive frozen body, actually made its ice layer thicker.

Articuno: "........"

What the hell!

Even if it was a case of minimal effect, Articuno would have already given up. So why would it give the opponent armor?

"I know you're anxious, but don't rush."

Because Articuno was in mid-air, Su Hao couldn't capture its back view, so he could only use the waveguide to calm it down and prevent it from getting really anxious.

That thing was constructed from the energy of fragments of ice pillars and stone slabs, and it likely contained the power of the laws of ice as its origin.

Articuno's attacks, which are derived from the fundamental laws of Ice-type attacks, are roughly equivalent to adding a shield and healing, unless it doesn't use Ice-type attacks.

Not to mention that the opponent's energy level has inexplicably soared to the first-class legendary level, which makes Articuno, which is only average among the second-class legendary level, even more difficult to fight.

Logically speaking, even with numerous geometric snowflakes as a base, fragments of broken icicles and stone slabs should not be able to condense this level of power.

Legendary characters are not commonplace. Even Lucario and his friends who also obtained the stone tablet fragments may not be guaranteed to reach that level in the future.

So, there's definitely something strange about it.

"Tianxi, don't hold back, try to break it apart," Su Hao said.

This thing doesn't seem to have much intelligence; it's about as stupid as that youthful version of the Stone Slab Spirit. It's very likely that the other party is using a disguise.

Not to mention that while the opponent possesses immense power, its authority is a complete disaster; based on current intelligence, it may be even weaker than Ho-Oh.

Diancie's radiant authority is enough to suppress the opponent.

Su Hao had already asked for a replacement, so Articuno had no choice but to stop and try the "Absolute Zero" move again, looking inexplicably ashamed.

Once upon a time, it was the team's mainstay, Giratina's designated powerhouse, and Su Hao's source of security as he roamed the world.

And now... sigh, it's all tears when I think about it.

Watching Diancie's magnificent fighting style, which directly suppressed the fake Kyurem's power with a single move, Articuno sighed deeply.

We've finally fallen on hard times.

Although the imposter Kyurem has great strength, he lacks intelligence.

The opponent's health bar is really thick, and its own defense is also very strong. Even if you suppress the opponent with the Radiant Aura and then launch a fierce attack.

It took Diancie nearly half an hour to finally break through the fake Kyurem's shell and use a burst of photons to shatter all the geometric snowflakes that had gathered together.

Logically speaking, having defeated the "guardian BOSS," Su Hao should have successfully passed the trial.

But not only did Kyurem wake up, even the light membrane constructed from fragments of icicles and stone slabs showed no signs of disappearing.

Something's not right. Something's very, very wrong.

"Could it be that we misunderstood the necessary conditions for the trial from the very beginning?" Diancie asked thoughtfully, now that she had a free hand.

After all, the voice never told them to defeat this imposter Kyurem or drive away the geometric snowflakes.

The way to awaken the sleeping dragon is to fill the void.

But this emptiness... is somewhat abstract.

Should we put either Leshiram or Zekrom from Earth inside?

But those two were already absorbed by Kyurem.

Or should we fill in Su Hao himself?

This is somewhat like hell.

Just as Su Hao was racking his brains trying to figure out how to fill the void and what he should do,

As if sensing something, Articuno exclaimed, "Su Hao, look there!"

Following Articuno's gaze, Su Hao saw that the geometric snowflakes, which had just been scattered by Diancie and rendered immobile, floated up again as if they were completely unharmed. They even reconstructed Kyurem's dragon shape in the air before being enveloped once more by the ice torrent released from the ice pillars and stone slabs.

Kyurem the Ice Queen, resurrected!

Diancie went straight for him, and because of her practice, she targeted the fake Kyurem's weak points this time, completing the solo kill even faster than before.

—But the good times didn't last long. As if it were optimizing itself, the fake Kyurem revived faster this time, and even its movements became more agile.

"Is this never going to end?!"

Su Hao gritted his teeth in anger.

Is it so great to have endless energy to squander?

He didn't just stand there idly; he deliberately had Articuno use a Flying-type move while Diancie attacked normally to stop the reassembly process.

Even if some of the geometric snowflakes are scattered, they will quickly revive on the spot and rejoin their family.

Su Hao also clearly saw that whenever a geometric snowflake fell, a stream of light would bloom from the broken ice pillar and stone slab and flow into the body of the fallen geometric snowflake, and then the snowflake would be fully revived.

Su Hao managed to solo kill a level 1 god like Phoenix King three times in a row. If it were Hyoga, he would have been defeated long ago. It's only because Su Hao was able to handle it with ease.

In retrospect, that fake Kyurem was nothing but a troublemaker. Whether you fought it or not didn't affect the trial, but if you didn't fight it, you would be attacked by it. If you fought it, you could be resurrected, which easily led to a protracted tug-of-war.

Moreover, it seems that the opponent "evolves" to some extent with each resurrection. If you break them up a lot, their power might become stronger and stronger.

—The key to this trial of emptiness is indeed Kyurem.

Su Hao threw out several Poké Balls in succession, so that Milotic and the others didn't have to worry about hurting the fake Kyurem, and could just occasionally relieve some pressure on Diancie.

After making the arrangements, Su Hao ignored the situation and, together with his bodyguard Articuno, went directly to the icy blue light membrane released by the ice pillar stone fragments.

Chapter 1520 Overpower

"An attack probably wouldn't be able to penetrate this light membrane."

After examining it carefully for a long time, Articuno came to a conclusion.
