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

He felt that this was a way of avenging himself for enduring so much loneliness for so long.

After a hearty meal, a deep sleepiness washed over him, and he closed his eyes, falling into his first sleep since regaining consciousness.

This sleep was exceptionally long, far more comfortable than those dark and lonely days.

This also made him realize that as long as he was asleep, he could resist the loneliness that he could never get used to.

I should have been asleep the whole time.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt some noise around him and slowly regained consciousness from his sleep, which he did not want to wake up from.

But the surrounding scenery was quite different from what he remembered.

The little ones who had woken him up excitedly surrounded him, chattering away about something.

He didn't want to pay attention to them, nor did he intend to harm them. He simply used his instincts to control his body and flew directly into the sky, experiencing a world that was completely new and exciting to him.

But after experiencing it for a while, it seems to just be that way.

His deep-seated loneliness remained constant, and at such times, he would often choose to sleep to alleviate its effects.

So, when he got tired of flying, he would find a place to sleep, and when he woke up, he would continue flying.

Occasionally, just like when I first woke up, there were many chattering little guys around me, and the environment where I slept had inexplicably changed drastically.

After an unknown amount of time, he gradually came to understand that those little creatures were beings called humans, and that the change in their sleeping environment was because they had built "nests" around him to live in while he was asleep.

But after waking up, he would often choose to leave. After all, with humans and their nests around, he felt quite uncomfortable sleeping. He had to be careful even when turning over, so as not to ruin what they had worked so hard to create.

This pattern repeated itself countless times, and he discovered that he could understand what these humans were saying, that they called him "Dragon God of the Dao," and that he knew many other things.

One day, two brothers came to him after he woke up again and told him about their ideals, truths, ambitions and goals. He didn't quite understand what they were saying, but he was also thinking about giving it a try.

After all, this might offer some comfort to my lonely and empty heart.

He began to help the two brothers establish a tribe, then build a kingdom, and become one of the world's most powerful and colossal beings.

Undeniably, during his interactions with the two brothers, he came to agree with some of their ideas.

Even so, the emptiness in his heart remained the same, and he even felt a little bored, wanting to find a place to continue sleeping to alleviate the loneliness and emptiness in his heart.

Until one day, the two brothers had a disagreement about their beliefs.

The older brother pursues truth, while the younger brother sings praises of ideals.

Gradually, the differences grew, the kingdom began to split, and the two brothers began to fight over the most important "him," asking him to judge the correctness of truth and ideal.

He was slightly torn, feeling that both sides seemed to have valid points.

But the two brothers were determined to determine who was better.

This matter really pushed him to the brink. After racking his brains for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.

Hey! (Index finger, soybean-shaped glasses, front teeth showing)

Simple! I just need to become two, right?

Chapter 1522 The Hollow Dragon

He actually managed to make this seemingly outlandish idea a reality.

However, it may not be considered a success.

because--

He accidentally gave away one too many.

Furthermore, the other two versions of him, having embraced the ideals of truth or reality, unhesitatingly went to help their older and younger brothers, leaving him aside.

He became alone again, and even abandoned himself.

This blow deepened the loneliness and emptiness in his heart, and also highlighted the difference between him and his other two selves.

He experienced disappointment, confusion, and reflection on whether he had done something wrong. He even harbored deep resentment towards his other two selves.

We are all one, an inseparable group, so why are you abandoning me?

Because he was no longer whole, the loneliness and emptiness in his heart grew deeper and deeper. Unable to bear it any longer, he could only find a cave and begin a long slumber once again.

During this time, two other people were also fighting for truth and ideals. Their differences deepened as the war progressed until there was no longer any possibility of them agreeing with each other's ideas.

This also means that, no matter what, he can never go back to being the same person he was before.

After a long period of time, he awoke from his deep sleep.

This time, there were no chattering humans around him, only countless icicles formed from the cold air he unconsciously released in his sleep, and two stones, one black and one white.

He was quite certain that they were two other versions of himself, and he didn't quite understand why those two versions of himself had become like this.

He tried to "communicate" with himself and then got the answer.

It turns out that in the war to prove the superiority of truth versus ideal, neither can defeat the other, and the struggle continues until physical death.

The other two versions of myself only suddenly became apparent at this moment.

Unbeknownst to them, the hearts of those two brothers were no longer as pure as when they first met. The so-called war between pursuing truth and the superiority of ideals was merely a matter of them both wanting to monopolize power and not wanting to share it with the other person.

Truth and ideals are merely tools they use to instigate wars and gain their support.

The other two versions of themselves felt disheartened and returned to their original selves in the form of the Dragon Stone, no longer wanting to have any contact with humans.

Whether it was a sudden pang of conscience, a sense of guilt for abandoning himself in this dark and gloomy place, the other two versions of himself chose to extinguish their consciousness and return all their power to his still somewhat dazed self.

It seems that this can make up for some of the damage.

However, due to the long-term division and the remaining differences in their ideologies, they can no longer return to their original, complete form.

The power of truth and ideals has been transformed into his own strength. Although this should be a happy thing, he just can't feel happy.

His body trembled slightly, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

So, you never asked for my opinion from beginning to end?

Am I destined to be alone forever?

Maybe I really don't deserve it.

The emptiness within me, which should have been waiting to be filled by reality and ideals, has instead become even more vacant.

Despite having lived for countless years, he now felt like a newly born dragon, bewildered, fearful, and lost in the world.

He began to wander the world again, like a walking corpse.

The two brothers and the kingdom they built had long since perished. Neither side emerged victorious in the war of division, and the kingdom was eventually replaced by another raised banner.

Having already decided that nothing mattered anymore, he didn't care and continued to wander aimlessly in this world.

However, having long since become the shell of a dragon, he no longer possesses the appearance that once made him beloved and cherished by all living beings. Both humans and Pokémon are frightened by his ferocious appearance.

No longer is there life surrounding the place where he sleeps, because the temperature drops drastically wherever he walks, and everyone avoids him like the plague, calling him "the evil dragon".

Gradually, he understood.

In his loneliness and emptiness, he could only trust his power; power was all he had left. Truth and ideals were utter bullshit.

Like a drowning man, he clung to the lifeline of "strength," deceiving himself and disguising his inner self, enduring the loneliness and emptiness that had seeped into his bones day after day.

The world changes, and time passes.

Everything has changed.

He is infamous as "Kyurem," and he has experienced many things. He is no longer the walking corpse he once was. His arrogance and conceit have become his best disguise.

Only the deep loneliness and emptiness buried in his heart accompanied him as always, like his shadow following him everywhere.

Then, one day...

He received a task from an entity he couldn't disobey, and he put on a little act.

It was also at the end of that play that he encountered a somewhat special human.

Initially, when he sensed the aura of that damned True Dragon on this human, he assumed the other was a descendant of the elder of the two brothers, and he was slightly annoyed by him.

But soon he discovered that the other party was probably not the descendant he thought it was, but a real dragon that had lost its physical body.

And it should be from another world.

So he reminded the other party that it was best not to call out that infamous tyrant who was just as notorious as himself.

Subsequent developments proved that their choice was correct; that human did indeed play a significant role in the battle against the evil.

After the battle, he should have left, but for some reason, perhaps on a whim, he chose to stay for the time being.

His interactions with that human made him experience something different for the first time.

He jokes about his appearance, doesn't care about his bad reputation, and treats himself very normally.

Just like friends.

This was undoubtedly a very novel experience for him, and even his two brothers, whose beliefs had not yet changed, could not give him this feeling.

But those days soon came to an end; thirteen days had passed far too quickly.

The other party left.

But they also made a promise to meet again.

This left him with a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty about whether they could actually reunite. Thirteen days was too short; he couldn't be sure if the other person was the one who could fill the void in his heart, or if the other person would lose sight of their original intentions like their two brothers.

However, out of pride, he said he would go to see the other person, even though he actually hoped the other person would come to him.

Then, in order to suppress the loneliness and emptiness he had hidden so well, he began to sleep once again.

This slumber was longer and more prolonged than ever before.

Will you find me in a world 100,000 years from now?

He couldn't help but think this as he closed his eyes.

.......

After the darkness, the world became bright again.

Su Hao was surprised to find that he could finally move again.
