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

—But it doesn't just need to protect itself; it also needs to include Sakaki, the Tree of Origin, and the Creation Star behind it within its protection zone.

After all, the contract between Giovanni and the other party would not end until the other party successfully invaded the Tree of Origin of the World, seized the body of evil, and the stability of this world decreased to the point where dark matter could invade.

This also caused some trouble for Dark Mewtwo X.

Even without being in its ultimate burst state, Necrozma Hourglass, which has now devoured many Ultimate Spaces in the Ultimate World, is not far behind Necrozma in terms of sheer power.

Even though the opponent seemed to be trying to preserve the "delicious food" and did not display the "absolute mass" of that huge body in their attack.

But the Shadow Light alone had already diverted some of Dark Mewtwo X's attention, not to mention that at this moment, the Legends, with Diancie at their core, had begun to build a new offensive in front of it.

Having preemptively detonated some of the Shadow Light with Star Shatter, the Crowned King rode her beloved horse into the battlefield.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

When the Queen of the Rathalos looked at the legends, especially when her gaze fell on Diancie, her admiration was evident in her eyes.

Diancie, who was still somewhat naive when she was in the Ice King's Castle, has now grown to this extent.

It was a real surprise.

"Hmph, since you played a little bit of a role, I won't scold you this time."

"As the price for redeeming myself—"

"Let's defeat that arrogant Mewtwo together!"

Dark Kyurem exhaled a puff of cold air from his nostrils and said rather arrogantly.

Mega Mewtwo X: "......."

Reshiram, Xerneas, and Zygarde also greeted the Criveor King, especially Zygarde, who was an old acquaintance of the Criveor King from that previous battle.

The sacrifice of another "sensory core" bought precious time for Arceus to descend.

The Queen of the Lace looked at her reliable teammates.

It pointed the tip of its frost-covered lance at Dark Mewtwo X.

"Now, let's save the world!"

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

Dark Mewtwo X had some of its energy diverted by Necrozma Twilight Wings, which undoubtedly brought a new change to the already deadlocked battle.

At this moment, the addition of Calyrex, now back to its peak, undoubtedly gave them a strong boost in their goal of breaking through Dark Mewtwo X's defenses.

Milton beneath him occasionally released electricity to block a small number of shadow lights, and sometimes used his superior mobility to move through the air to evade them.

Su Hao also took this opportunity to think about how to deal with Necrozma Dawnwing.

With Necrozma Dawnwing's indiscriminate attacks "helping," it might be time to commit more forces to the World Tree battlefield.

At the same time, leaving Necrozma Dawnwing, which is in space in the sky, unattended is not a wise decision.

Even though the other side relieved some of the pressure on them, forcing Dark Mewtwo X to protect Diancie and the others who were also within the range of the Tree of Beginning, they were forced to do so.

But Su Hao didn't dare to gamble on whether the other party would maintain its current state, only releasing beams of light and launching attacks from the sky without doing anything else.

This is neither realistic nor wise.

Therefore, even if the pressure here increases, we still need to have the strength to restrain Necrozma Dawnwing.

Regarding this combat power, Su Hao considered various possibilities, but ultimately only one legendary spirit could be thought of that possessed this ability.

His mind conjured up the image of the other person's pale blue figure.

"Dragon of the Heavens", "Overlord of the Sky" - Liekongzuo.

Before Su Hao could figure out how to contact Rayquaza or whether to use Hoopa's Ring to summon him, he was left wondering about the most reliable solution.

In the distant, dark sky, a dazzling blue light, as bright as a star, was already heading towards the starry sky!

The opponent's flight speed was extremely terrifying, even exceeding the speed when it personally entered outer space to intercept a super-massive meteorite.

Ignoring the overwhelming shadow light, the azure light surged upwards, like a sharp sword aimed directly at Necrozma Dawnwing's colossal body.

"...Super Rayquaza?"

While surprised, Su Hao also felt that this made perfect sense.

Given Rayquaza's personality, it harbored strong hostility towards Deoxys, let alone Necrozma Hourglass.

Not long after the opponent appeared, Mega Rayquaza couldn't hold back any longer and chose to take the initiative to fight.

But at that moment, a not-so-unfamiliar mental fluctuation suddenly entered his mind.

"I'll leave this intruder to you. You handle the matter of the Tree of Origin properly!"

"—And who gave you permission to give my grass-green jewel to those two idiots!?"

Chapter 1558 Necrozma, the Dawnwing's Flaw

Let's rewind to a short time ago, on the high seas.

The Temple of the Sea, contrary to its usual behavior, surfaced, removing the protective shield that had been obscuring its view and revealing its miraculously magnificent appearance.

“Mana…”

Manaphy looked worriedly at the dark aura seeping into the sky. She wanted to go to that place to help, but she was also worried that she might only make things worse if she went.

As Kyogre rose with the temple, he raised his eyes, glanced at the sky, and then looked away.

It could vaguely sense that the world was undergoing a life-or-death crisis, and it imagined that those legends that touted order would probably all head there.

Gyokka showed no emotional reaction to this.

Its home turf is the sea, and its ability to perform there is quite limited. Having one more or one less won't have any decisive impact.

It's better to stay here. When there's a real need for it, Su Hao will come looking for it without it having to move.

So rather than worrying about those things, the most urgent matter right now is—

Go find Groudon and retrieve the Grass Green Orb!

As agreed, it's its turn to absorb the natural energy within today.

But after waiting at sea for a long time, Groudon on the other side of the volcanic island showed no sign of setting off.

Kyogre's mood became a little irritated; it could probably guess what that stupid, flightless lizard was thinking.

He just wanted to take as much as he could; that guy was still so greedy!

Because of the abundance of natural energy, Kyogre was not so hungry that he would act on instinct alone.

In the eyes of the still-intelligent Georka, if it weren't for the fact that it wasn't appropriate to add to the chaos, it would have at least fought with that red-skinned giant lizard again.

After waiting a while longer and seeing that there was still no movement on the volcanic island, Geokara suppressed his anger and gave Manaphy a word of advice.

"I'm going to get the grass-green gem. You stay here quietly and don't move around."

"Although you are luckier than that weak Dream, given that you have just inherited the title of Prince of the Azure Sea, you are simply not capable of participating in that battle."

Manaphy knew that Geokawa was doing it for her own good, so she could only nod dejectedly to show that she had listened.

Seeing this, Kyogre stopped and headed to the volcano island, where he summoned Groudon, that big oaf, intending to ask it for the green orb.

—Quite coincidentally, at this moment, Rayquaza, who had been struggling for a long time and finally decided to follow the scent of his own grass-green orb, also arrived at this place.

The situation is now quite awkward.

On the volcanic island is Groudon, bewildered and holding a grass-green orb.

In the sea, Kyogre raises its fins to ask Groudon for the jewel.

And the original owner of the grass-green orb in the sky, Rayquaza's entire face was filled with disbelief.

What should have been a meeting straight out of a myth or legend had an eerie atmosphere.

Groudon: Damn, how did this Caterpie get here? Coming to settle scores so soon?

Kyogre: Oh my god, why is this caterpillar here at this hour? Did it see me looking for the gem?

Rayquaza: (▼he▼) What the hell is this dragon's grass-green orb here?!

Leaving aside the awkward Kyogre and Groudon standing there, Rayquaza was both shocked and furious.

So all that time it agonized over was just because that guy didn't care about its grass-green orb or even itself at all?

Strangely, Liekongzuo, who thought he should be angry, found his mind unexpectedly calm at this moment.

It tried to recall a memory that was extremely brief in the context of its long life.

The initial encounter, a conflict arising from the breaking of the seal on Guleton, was not about right or wrong, but simply a clash of positions, and then Guleton suffered what he considered the most humiliating treatment.

The second meeting was during a meteorite crisis. Although it took the opportunity to break free from that hateful "connection," it felt somewhat lost for some reason.

On their third meeting, hunger prevented it from exerting its full strength, but in a moment of crisis, the other party suddenly appeared above its head and helped activate the Emperor's organ. The bond briefly formed through Mega Evolution made it inexplicably lose its senses.

Then came the fourth time at the top of the Sky Tower. Despite the difficulties the other party was making things difficult for him, they successfully left that space, leaving him stunned on the spot.

Thinking about it carefully, apart from a brief collaboration, there seemed to be nothing particularly noteworthy about my relationship with that human.

Even what I thought was just wishful thinking on my part.

As the "spoils" of the first person to clear the Sky Tower, this grass-green orb seems to have no right to interfere with whoever he gives it to.

Of course, even if Rayquaza understands the reasoning, its nature remains that of a proud and aloof ruler of the skies.

Even though it is well aware of this, it is still unwilling to change its personality because of it.

It first glared fiercely at Groudon and Kyogre, saying that since the natural energy within the green orb was useful to them, they should make good use of it and prepare to do their best to help when needed.

As for itself—

Gazing at the intruder in the sky who had encroached upon his territory and majesty, Lie Kong Zuo activated his Emperor Organ and soared into the air, transforming into a straight stream of azure light as he rushed toward the colossal being.

Regardless of any personal feelings, it will only faithfully fulfill its duty to protect this planet... and its own sky!

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

Memories from not long ago flashed through his mind: after the super-evolved Mega Rayquaza sat down and "threw a harsh remark" at Su Hao over there, it stopped paying attention to what was happening below Blue Star.

Its attention was completely focused on the enormous entity in the sky above.
