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

But instead of acting immediately, he murmured, "...Was that...Kyurem's memory?"

He seems to have experienced what Tianxi had mentioned: a memory experienced in the first person.

Just then, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Su Hao.

"Hmph, what a cheating ability! He just arrived and casually rummaged through my dragon memories. He's practically dug up all my secrets."

Within the consciousness space constructed by the power of super resistance, a grotesque dragon with a ferocious appearance emerged from the darkness and stood before Su Hao.

Chapter 1523 The hollow dragon shell awaits its hero.

He met Kyurem's empty, pale yellow dragon eyes, devoid of pupils.

Su Hao, who experienced its "life" in a rather peculiar first-person perspective, saw through it the emptiness hidden beneath the confidence and arrogance.

If we were to compare Kyurem's inner world to a universe...

Its little world, from the moment it was born... no, even before it was born, was firmly frozen.

Everything Kyurem went through afterward led it to choose to completely hide its true self.

If it weren't for the power of the Overlord, I probably wouldn't have been able to access the secrets deep within Kyurem's heart.

Su Hao now understands a little better why the fragments of ice pillars and stone slabs were carefully crafted to create the "Trial of the Void".

Over time, through its long coexistence with the slumbering Kyurem, the Kyurem's unconscious expectations have influenced the fragments of the ice pillar slabs, ultimately leading to the current situation.

Even if we are now able to awaken Kyurem, once it awakens, the trial will be broken without a fight.

But Su Hao didn't want to just walk away and pretend nothing had happened.

Everything that the icicles and stone slabs are doing now reflects Kyurem's true thoughts and desires.

—In its heart, it is desperately crying out for help.

Once Su Hao learned of this situation, how could he possibly ignore it?

Seeing Kyurem standing there awkwardly, Su Hao started a conversation.

"I shouldn't be able to see this without your permission."

"The power of superpowers is not a panacea."

"........"

Kyurem remained silent and chose to change the subject.

"After being abandoned, I often thought about it during the days I spent in that dark and sunless cave."

"Once they've accomplished their goal, I'm going to catch them, beat them up, and then devour them like a feast, to scare them and make up for the suffering I've endured."

"As a result, they didn't leave me any words, but simply went about their so-called 'atonement,' silencing their consciousness and then returning to my body as power."

"I had hoped that it would fill the void between my reality and my ideals, but in the end nothing changed."

"I... am still so empty."

Its deep voice suddenly became weathered, like that of a lonely, elderly person who couldn't find their way home.

Kyurem may have long been accustomed to the loneliness he once knew.

But if we were to say what hit it harder, it would probably be the fact that after it had enthusiastically completed the split and was thinking that it would finally have companions, it was abandoned by its two other selves as an unexpectedly left-behind shell.

It might even start to wonder if Kyurem is an unblessed being.

Compared to the other two "selves" who truly pursued truth and ideals, Kyurem, who was also once the Dragon of the Way, left behind only emptiness.

Kyurem cannot show his vulnerability, much less shed tears.

Now it has merely shed its carefree outer shell, leaving only the young dragon that was enveloped in endless silence and emptiness since it gained consciousness from the meteorite.

In addition, some deviations in its experiences make it unable to even deceive itself by filling itself with the excuse of reality and ideals.

In a sense, it is very similar to the early Mewtwo. If the two were to meet, they might get along surprisingly well.

Su Hao could sense that Kyurem was yearning for and hoping for something at this moment.

No one can directly fill the void in Kyurem's heart; this is an unsolvable problem.

but--

"You yearn for someone to save you."

"Then why can't that person be me?"

Su Hao placed his hand on Kyurem's unique icy blue thorny nose, feeling its coldness.

It met its dim, pale yellow dragon eyes, then turned its gaze to Kyurem's strange wings, one large and one small.

He knew he was doing something incredibly greedy.

"The truth goes without saying, and my actions are putting my ideals into practice. If that's not enough, then stay by my side and watch as I fill the void in your heart."

"......"

Kyurem stammered, unable to speak.

Su Hao then grasped Kyurem's forelimbs, which were rather short and comical compared to its size.

"If you weren't yearning for redemption, why would you tear open your wounds and expect a hero to appear to save you?"

"I will be that hero."

"The one and only hero of truth that you have been waiting for."

Kyurem, who has experienced much, knows this clearly.

Human beings are, in their own eyes, a tiny existence that lasts only a fleeting moment.

Super is a connection between hearts, where there are no lies. That's why, just as Su Hao is completely open with himself, it can also perceive his own heart so clearly.

It was just an ordinary, uneventful thirteen days, a fleeting moment within a fleeting moment.

But the person before it was so dazzling that it seemed to be able to etch this brief moment onto its almost eternal soul, never to fade.

It understood why Reshiram, the dragon from another world that seemed different from the real dragon it knew, had acted like a possessive puppy when it jokingly and somewhat vengefully suggested that it would steal the hero from it.

After all, dragons always love dazzling things.

Not to mention the person in front of it, so dazzling that it couldn't help but want to secretly hide it from any dragon.

For the first time, a pale yellow light appeared in Kyurem's dim, pupil-less dragon eyes.

The soul before it was truly reflected in its eyes.

The hollow dragon shell finally awaited its hero.

Chapter 1524 The Far North Situation Ends and Bad News

Almost half a day has passed since Su Hao activated his super-power, transcending the laws of time and space to communicate with Kyurem's consciousness and soul.

During this time, the battle between Diancie and the imposter Kyurem intensified.

Now, Diancie can provide a clear answer.

Regardless of whether the fake Kyurem's shell is destroyed, its power is steadily increasing.

From initially being comparable to, or even slightly weaker than, Ho-Oh, to now being almost at the top level of legendary status, except for the inability to transform.

It's not actually that difficult to deal with. Even if Diancie doesn't win or gain the upper hand, he can at least keep the fight going for a while.

The problem is that as the fake Kyurem grows stronger, it also intentionally destroys everything around it.

Putting aside what would happen if this enormous ice palace collapsed, Diancie would have to spare some of her energy to protect the ice sculptures outside, together with Articuno.

In addition, the opponent's strength has gradually increased over time, not to mention Su Hao, who is caught in a mental communication, and needs to be protected. Diancie is already exhausted.

Even with the addition of Reshiram and Motolizard to relieve some of their burden, destruction is far easier than protection.

If possible, they still hope that Su Hao can wake up the Kyurem who is sleeping in late as soon as possible.

It's disgusting that you can't kill them by hitting them, but you can't just ignore them either.

They suspected that if the fighting continued like this, they would eventually develop a habit of vomiting whenever they saw Kyurem.

Fortunately, Su Hao didn't keep them waiting for long.

A faint yet persistent hum suddenly echoed through the vast ice palace.

The dragon, which had been in a deep slumber within the light membrane, suddenly opened its eyes.

An aura of dominance, as if it were the only one worthy of respect, emanated from it and spread outwards in waves, instantly attracting the attention of Diancie and the others.

Within the ever-undulating blue light membrane, there were strange wings, one long and one short, and a ferocious-looking dragon raised its head, emitting the most exhilarating roar of its life.

"Hahaha—"

"I, the great one, am resurrected!"

The entire Arctic continent trembled slightly at the dragon's roar, as if announcing the return of the strongest dragon on earth.

Even Captain Moore, who was on the Hope and was so anxious about the loss of contact with all three squads that he was stamping his feet, could vaguely hear the dragon's roar coming from the depths.

As Kyurem awoke, the shards of the ice pillar seemed to have finally achieved their goal. The light membrane they released vanished as specks of light, and the shards themselves fell to the ground with a thud, losing their former luster.

No matter what, it was just a broken stone slab. If it weren't for its own divine power and Kyurem's subconscious indulgence, it wouldn't have had that much energy to wear down Diancie and the others, let alone let people discover that Kyurem's mental state was worrying.

After a triumphant roar, Kyurem's gaze first fell on the fallen ice pillar slab fragments.

With a grin that revealed a slightly terrifying smile, Kyurem said in a very good mood, "Fine, I won't hold it against you for constantly draining my energy."

In the distance, the fake Kyurem had already begun to collapse due to the lack of energy support and adhesion.

Su Hao, having recovered from the deep state of soul-to-soul communication, turned pale and collapsed to the ground, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Even he didn't expect that maintaining this state for a long time would be too much for his mental strength to bear.

No wonder that in the theatrical film, Sheena kept failing to maintain communication and was then ejected from the soul consciousness space.

"Kid!" "Su Hao!" "Cook!"
