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

The moment he was forced to kneel by Dark Kyurem's Freeze Volt, perhaps due to his severe injuries, a crack appeared in the strong shackles on his mind and the steel imprint on his thoughts.

Dark Mewtwo X suddenly recalled memories that had been buried deep within its heart for a long time.

Memories from before its birth to after its birth.

When compared to another version of itself, it inexplicably felt a sense of shame.

— Giving up on the clear cliff was the beginning of a mistake.

Yes, why did I forget my original aspiration?

Before finding the meaning of one's existence, one's only belief, which is engraved deep in one's soul.

I want to launch a counterattack against humanity.

And now, what is the most exhilarating comeback that my broken body can achieve?

Despite the immense pressure directed at him, Dark Mewtwo X could only hear Giovanni's triumphant laughter echoing in its ears.

In that instant, Dark Mewtwo X, whose inner fire of revenge burned fiercely, found its answer.

Zygard's choice further pointed it in the right direction.

So it said those words and stood up calmly.

From Clear Cliff onwards, it lost all right to choose.

But at this moment, it has the choice to turn against its enemy, Sakaki.

"This ominous body, filled with negative energy, may have existed just for this moment."

The sound faded.

Ignoring Giovanni's drastically changed expression and his rebuke, Dark Mewtwo X endured the excruciating pain in its heart, ignored Genesis's fierce but cowardly roar, and threw itself into the dark spatial vortex filled with Zygarde cells.

Its body, during flight, began to break down into particles starting from its limbs.

Zygarde's core, which had also been sealed with his body, was ejected directly from it.

It supported its weakened body, staring at Dark Mewtwo X in a shrill voice, its eyes filled with disbelief: "...What are you planning to do!?"

Dark Mewtwo X tried to force a smile, but found that its facial muscles had long forgotten how to smile.

"Your sacrifice is meaningless, and the time you've wasted is not enough to find a way to close the spatial passage connecting the two worlds."

"That goes without saying!"

As the Zygarde Core watched the expanding spatial vortex, it anxiously tried to rush forward.

However, it was propelled by what was arguably the gentlest psychic force since the start of the battle, and sent towards the direction where Xerneas and Diancie were.

Watching the particles formed from its own body merge into the spatial vortex, Dark Mewtwo X said without turning its head, "Since we are both sources of negative energy, my body can naturally seal the gate that was opened because of this."

"This is not my way of repaying you or the world."

"It was simply my way of getting back at him, nothing more."

After giving Giovanni a meaningful look, Dark Mewtwo X completely released the "restraints" that constituted it, allowing the particles that its body decomposed to firmly block the spatial passage that exuded an ominous aura.

From an angle unseen by anyone, a slight smile appeared on the lips of Dark Mewtwo X, whose body had decomposed into its head.

At the end of my life, I finally rediscovered my original aspirations.

Will you be happy for me, Xiao Ai?

In its final moments before losing consciousness, it vaguely heard a roar, filled with anger and resentment, coming from either the other end of the passage or in front of the World Tree.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival to all my book lovers!

Chapter 1564 Evil Begets Evil

Mewtwo...

Looking at the figure who unhesitatingly used his own existence to seal the spatial passage, Su Hao fell silent, unlike Sakaki who could no longer maintain his composed demeanor.

He could feel that something restless within him calmed down after the passage opened.

That thing, which has been with him since he transmigrated, is called "System," but its true form is something formed from the aggregates of the Creation Stone Tablets.

If Su Hao wasn't mistaken, the restlessness within his body just now, coupled with the feedback from all the Pokémon holding the broken stone tablets transmitted through the Aura Channel, meant—

The last trick left by Arceus from another world.

Even if it is not complete, there are still some missing items.

But when these stone fragments come together, they are equivalent to the power of a small Arceus.

If it weren't for the sudden defection of Dark Mewtwo X, Su Hao thought, it would have been them blocking the spatial passage.

Now, however, Dark Mewtwo X is behaving like Dark WarGreymon, a character from the anime Su Hao remembers from his childhood.

However, one blocked the door from the real world to the digital world with its own existence, while the other blocked the spatial passage from which dark matter invaded from the opposite direction.

It even indirectly saved the Zygarde core, which had already resolved to die.

Everyone present, including Mewtwo itself, knew who Su Hao was referring to when he said "Mewtwo".

Even if hostility remains, they will not refute it.

They all knew very well that even though Dark Mewtwo X was their enemy, its actions and its unwavering counterattack were enough to make it seem like another Mewtwo, just like the current one.

The unwilling roars coming from the other end of the passage are proof of that.

But compared to the atmosphere of silence in Su Haofang's room, Sakaki's emotions were fluctuating much more intensely.

He stared intently at the spot where Dark Mewtwo X had disappeared, where a dark spatial vortex was slowly closing.

In the very end, his own weapon defied his orders!

They have even completely squandered all the advantages they have had until now!

Useless thing!

Giovanni's face was so dark it looked like it was about to drip water, and he roared with a livid expression, "Solgaleo, come here!"

"Open the Ultimate Cave immediately, let's go!"

Now that he has reached an agreement with Chuangxing, even if he is blocked after the agreement is reached, it is no longer his business.

Now that things have come to this, he has no reason left to remain in this world.

Anyway, he also obtained the method for synthesizing negative energy and mastered the technique for suppressing it.

All you need to do is restart the new Mewtwo manufacturing process and raise it again following the previous trajectory.

Even if there's no Dark Mewtwo X, there's still Dark Mewtwo X4, Dark Mewtwo X5, and at the very least, there's Dark Mewtwo X6!

It's alright, it's alright!

As long as he remains the leader of the Rockets, he can make a comeback!

This time, the imprint on the soul must be firmly left from the very beginning!

—As long as I return to my own world.

Hearing Giovanni's call, Solgaleo, its entire body glowing red, endured the attacks of the four Tapu Guardians in their golden giant forms—Punch, Articuno, Mega Latias, and Latios—that were summoned to slow it down, and charged toward Giovanni's location.

Dark Rem wanted to stop it, but Su Hao stopped it.

"No need."

Dark Kyurem grinned fiercely, convincing himself, "That's right, Dark Mewtwo X is gone. Even if it devoured the light energy of the entire Sun Wheel Altar, one is worth two. Solgaleo alone can no longer pose a threat."

"It has nothing to do with that."

Reshiram glanced at Dark Kyurem, his superiority practically overflowing the screen, and said sarcastically:

"It's not your fault. After all, I'm the only one who signed a contract with him, we're connected at heart, and I know the real reason why we didn't stop Solgaleo."

"You... wanna fight!?"

Dark Kyurem was furious, its beard bristling and eyes bulging. It was always the one provoking Reshiram, but today Reshiram dared to provoke it again!?

It was the peacemaker, Raikou, who managed to separate the two dragons who were practically about to clash, and then squinted at the direction Solgaleo was walking through the air.

"Perhaps my friend sensed something through his abilities."

"Correct."

Su Hao glanced gratefully at the Queen of the Brilliant Crown and nodded gently.

In his view, Solgaleo's behavior was less like a "loyal dog" rushing back to protect its master.

It's more like a caged beast that has lost its collar, chains, and club (Dark Mewtwo X), and after breaking free of the cage that bound it, it seeks revenge on its most hated enemy...

Perhaps the reason Dark Mewtwo X completely ignored Giovanni was because it anticipated that Giovanni's actions would eventually backfire.

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

A stench wafted through the air. Giovanni glanced at Solgaleo, who was as obedient as ever, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at him, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

He turned his back and said in a commanding tone, "Open the Ultimate Cavern before Necrozma Dawnwing takes any further action."

Although they lost a Dark Mewtwo X, they brought back the extremely valuable Solgaleo.

After leaving this place, no matter how badly the floodwaters rise, it will have nothing to do with Sakaki.

Solgaleo let out a low growl like thunder, its bloodshot beast eyes squinting at Giovanni's "voluntary" exposed back.

This distance... is not a problem!

The first to realize that Solgaleo had betrayed him was the alternate Genesect, who had been transformed into an almost AI-like being.

Upon sensing the approach of the claws, its first reaction was to strictly follow the prescribed behavior of protecting its owner.

But this didn't help.

The two sides were far too far apart in terms of strength.

This resulted in the Oddity type Genesect being slapped down by Solgaleo like a ball in the blink of an eye.

When Giovanni turned around because of the commotion, he saw Solgaleo's gleaming claws rapidly approaching him.

Even with the repeated activation of his protective technological armor, he couldn't stop Solgaleo's long-planned backstab.
