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

Just like before, it could teleport back with supplies with ease, but now, just bringing Shi Wei's team from the Yanhuang Research Station has almost drained its mental energy.

After Lucario was retrieved.

Without further ado, Su Hao told everyone that he would not be staying there any longer and would be leaving early.

"We have supplies, shelter, and combat power. Communication is also working normally now. Ice River has been beheaded. All you need to do now is wait for rescue and head to the Hope in batches."

Chapter 1526 The Coma of Zygarde and the Seven Legends

Although uneasy, no one tried to morally blackmail Su Hao into staying there to protect everyone until they all left.

—Let's not even talk about how Su Hao has already done everything he could for them, and even helped them a lot beyond that.

The presence of the powerful figures behind the other party when they awoke from the ice made them realize that moral blackmail is useless in the face of absolute strength.

If the other person wants to leave, no one can stop him.

"Then, I'll have to trouble you to look after them during this time."

Before leaving, Su Hao gave Shi Wei some more trump cards to ease her pressure.

Among the rescued people were many researchers from the Shenzhou Alliance. As the alliance champion, he certainly had to ensure their safety.

As for the other alliance members, it's not a big deal to rescue them as well.

"Okay... I'll take care of it!"

Shi Wei nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Looking at Su Hao, who was almost ten years younger than her, she felt that he was incredibly reliable.

.....................................

With the camp arrangements completed, the Arctic matter can be considered completely resolved.

Su Hao began preparing for his return trip, taking the opportunity to tally up what he had gained from the trip.

In reality, the gains weren't that significant.

First, there's Glacier, one of the last three members of the Nova Corps, who also retrieved Regice, the Ice God, which was controlled by a Poké Ball that was a combination of a Dark Ball and a Mewtwo Ball.

Once you get back, find an opportunity to have someone hand it over to Antonio.

The second find was fragments of ice pillar slabs, some of which had consumed energy.

Kyurem said that this thing was of little use to it at all, and in terms of ice, it was confident that even Arceus himself in this world would not be much stronger than it.

While boasting, Kyurem didn't forget to subtly mock Reshiram, saying that Reshiram would be crushed by Kyurem without it, which was really lame.

Therefore, the ownership of the icicle slab fragments fell to Articuno.

This was something Su Hao had promised it a long time ago, and now it has finally been fulfilled.

With the essence of ice within the fragments of the icicle slab, once Articuno comprehends it, it will surely be able to overtake its rivals and become the leader of the three legendary birds.

The third gain was the awakening and addition of Kyurem.

After making the agreement, Kyurem reverted to his former carefree self.

It might seem like a cover-up, but Su Hao knew very well that Kyurem was no longer affected by the emptiness in his heart.

Next, just fill it in slowly.

As for the fourth gain... Su Hao wasn't sure if it could be considered a gain.

He glanced at the Ancient Sword Leopard that kept wandering past him, and how it would occasionally get its fur standing on end because Kyurem would deliberately scare it.

I recall its previous refusal of my invitation, and all the things that followed.

Su Hao still did not extend another invitation to it.

The other person enjoys playing freely in the snow on the mountain and shouldn't be confined to one place.

Not to mention the upcoming great war, it's probably not good for it to participate. Su Hao thought about it and felt that it would be better for it to stay in the Arctic and live a carefree life.

Therefore, under the watchful gaze of Gu Jianbao's slightly reserved yet bright eyes, Su Hao formally bid farewell to Gu Jianbao.

"Don't get yourself all injured in the future, otherwise I can't be sure I'll run into you every time."

"And the human camp over there, if you'd like, could you look after them for a while after I leave? It won't be long, just until they've all left."

Upon hearing Su Hao's voice, Gu Jianbao's eyes widened immediately.

This leopard has been waiting for so long, and this is what you tell me?!

But when asked to bring up its own idea, the ancient sword leopard felt incredibly awkward.

In the end, Gujianbao could only watch helplessly as the great void was filled in, and Su Hao, who had left him with the words "See you next time," stood on the back of Articuno and disappeared into the distant night sky with Dark Kyurem.

Only then did it realize that its stubborn pride seemed to have messed things up again.

See you next time... Will we really meet again?

...........................................

2025 2 Month 16 Day.

It only took Su Hao one day to successfully return to the territory of the Divine Continent Alliance.

The reason why it only took so little time is quite simple.

Shortly after leaving the Arctic Circle, he, Articuno, and Kyurem encountered Hoopa's dimensional rift and Mewtwo emerging from it.

Su Hao understood that this was because after he left the Arctic Circle, Mewtwo locked onto his location, calculated the specific coordinates, and then had Hoopa open the dimensional portal.

Crossing the dimensional portal, the scene outside Yangcheng comes into view.

Kyurem deactivated his transformation and stepped onto the barren land left by the destruction of the previous secret realm, leaving a frozen footprint.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, especially Mewtwo's "dark and ancient castle research institute," it commented sharply, "It seems to have changed little compared to 100,000 years ago."

Along the way, Su Hao also taught it some knowledge about modern times 100,000 years later, but in Kyurem's view, the so-called "high technology" and "skyscrapers" were nowhere to be found.

On the contrary, the castle building in front of me is somewhat similar to the house of that big green hat, but one is sacred in style and the other is dark.

"We're still in the suburbs; the places I told you about are in the city."

After explaining to Kyurem, Su Hao looked at Mewtwo.

"How is Kidd?"

Mewtwo didn't speak, but turned around and led the way.

"You'll see when you come in."

Because of its size, Kyurem couldn't fit into the elevator leading to the underground research facility.

It was unwilling to perform the "Size Change Anywhere" that would damage its dignity, and it also refused to let Mewtwo use Teleport to take it down. So it was left on the upper level by Su Hao, staring at a group of Litwick and Chandelure.

the other side.

Upon entering the laboratory, Su Hao saw the Zygarde Core in the middle, its eyes closed and its expression pained, submerged in a healing chamber.

Its body was shrouded in visible black energy, which Su Hao recognized at a glance as a variant of negative energy.

In addition to this, it's not just the Zygarde core.

In the other makeshift healing chambers in the laboratory, there were actually seven legendary elves soaking in the water!

Three cloud gods, and four Tapu guardian gods!

If someone who didn't know better saw this, they would think that Mewtwo had captured them for experiments.

Mewtwo glanced at Hoopa, who looked a little scared, and explained, "At the last moment, Zygarde used Hoopa's dimensional portal to escape back with them."

"—Before it fell into a coma, it said that when it fought another 'me' who was covered in black mist, which was another Mewtwo, it was almost unilaterally overwhelmed."

"Furthermore, that might not even be the opponent's full strength."

Chapter 1527 Gene Lock Released!

"You, shrouded in black mist?"

Su Hao frowned, trying to visualize what Mewtwo looked like in his mind.

—But why is black smoke coming out?

Thinking of a possibility, Su Hao asked, "Is Mewtwo's skin color different from yours?"

Mewtwo was indeed unaware of this, since by the time he sensed something was wrong and arrived, the dimensional portal had already closed, and the other party did not seem to be chasing after him.

However, Hoopa, who was asked by Zygarde to stay on the other side of the dimensional rift, should have seen it once.

"Indeed...it looks so dark, just one look at Hoopa makes me feel like I'm seeing an abyss!"

Recalling that memory, Hupa couldn't help but shrink into Su Hao's arms in fear.

It was once the infamous Super Demon Hoopa, so it should have some knowledge.

But the aura that Mewtwo emitted during its battle with Zygarde gave it the feeling that even if it regained all its power, it still couldn't defeat Zygarde together!

"His skin was dark, and he was emanating a dark aura..."

While soothingly stroking Xiao Hupa's head, Su Hao murmured softly.

Based on the available information, that Mewtwo is most likely the "Dark Mewtwo".

That was a special Mewtwo that appeared in a branch fighting game called "Pokémon".

Su Hao remembered that the other party seemed to be possessed by something called "Dark Resonance Stone".

However, unlike other dark Pokémon, Dark Mewtwo retains its own mind.

Furthermore, the appearance of that Dark Mewtwo was different from what Hoopa had described as being entirely black. Not only was the tip of its tail glowing yellow, but it also had a crystal of the same color protruding from its left shoulder.

Su Hao is more inclined to believe that it has nothing to do with the Dark Mewtwo from Pokémon. The source of power for the Dark Mewtwo that Zygarde fought was... Dark Matter.

However, since it is related to dark matter, it cannot escape the logic of being restrained by the power of light.

This could also be the opponent's most fatal weakness.

Su Hao exchanged a glance with Mewtwo and Diancie.
