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

Space was torn apart with countless cracks, and pale lightning leaped through the void. A meteor shower of eerie light streaked across the shattered sky, bringing despair to a corner of the world.

Everything resembled the apocalyptic scene in mythology, a world on the verge of its end.

But despair is meant to be overcome.

Not to mention, the first obstacle that stood in Su Hao's way had already been overcome.

After completely breaking through the defenses of Giovanni and Dark Mewtwo X, Su Hao finally led the Legends to the Tree of Beginning in this world.

The delusion of Chuangxing to detonate the World Tree of Origin, which he intended to bring under his control, has already been seen through.

"I will absolutely not let you succeed."

As Su Hao's voice fell, the legends behind him dispersed on their own, meeting the countless tentacles that carried the aura of darkness.

Neither side exchanged a single unnecessary word, and Su Hao had absolutely no intention of communicating with Chuangxing or trying to learn more about the Dark Matter Core from it.

Whoever detonates/purifies the opponent first will be the winner of this battle!

"Wow—!"

The articulated bird flapped its wings, its tail feathers scattering glistening ice crystals like ribbons.

On its chest, the broken icicles and stone slabs emitted a faint light, enhancing the blizzard it unleashed with its flapping wings.

call--!

The surging ice and snow, carrying a biting chill, rushed towards the tentacles, instantly freezing the tentacles that were about to touch Articuno into strangely shaped ice pillars.

Before Articuno could even admire its creation, a massive figure, enveloped in a halo of icy energy, smashed Articuno's "work" to pieces and plunged into the area where tentacles were even more densely packed.

"Haha, little bird, you're doing great with the ice!"

Dark Kyurem's hearty laughter echoed in the air, then it changed the subject.

"However, he's still a bit inferior to Lao Tzu."

"Let me show you what the freezing air of a frozen world really looks like!"

In an instant.

Centered on Dark Kyurem, icy blue light burst forth.

"Frozen World"!

That terrifying chill seemed to freeze even time itself. Countless wildly dancing tentacles of negative energy were completely encased in ice by Dark Kyurem in a single encounter.

Even when not in good condition, just releasing one of their signature moves creates such a huge impact.

Dark Kyurem, which is infinitely close to the state of the Dragon of the Way, is still a bit overpowered.

Before Articuno could react, a huge blue fireball, resembling the sun, rose up on the other side, as if it were competing with Dark Kyurem.

The intense heat forced the Articuno to increase its flight altitude to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

Without a doubt, that was the blue flame released by Reshiram.

Articuno didn't want to get involved in the rivalry between the two gods, and instead turned its attention to the person beside it.

It immediately burst into laughter.

Hey, everyone's here.

Super Aqua siblings, and four Tapu guardians.

Because just now everyone was just slowing down the progress of that scarlet Solgaleo.

So their condition is far better than that of Zygarde and the others at the front.

But let's put it another way. With their capabilities, they can at most deal with the tentacles that are lingering on the edge of their range, preventing them from spreading further outwards and absorbing more negative emotions to enhance their self-destruct power.

The only way to break through from the inside is to rely on even more powerful "big shots".

.........

The earth beneath the feet of the original Groudon trembled incessantly, and rows of "Cliff Swords," spewing scorching lava, emerged, overwhelming some of the tentacles with their sheer mass.

On the other side, the bluish-white "Root Wave" was also constantly sweeping across the tentacles under the control of the original Kyogre, causing a series of explosive booms.

They, along with Reshiram and Dark Kyurem, are responsible for dealing with the vast majority of the tentacles.

Meanwhile, Su Hao and Diancie rode on the back of Milton, which was flying at full speed, and under the guidance of the Rare Crown King, they broke into the interior of the Tree of Beginning.

Leading the charge, the Crowned Cavalry stood proudly on the back of the Blizzard, holding the reins in one hand, its power flowing between itself and the Blizzard like a stream of light.

The Snowstorm Horse, its body as white as frost, galloped through the blizzard like lightning, its hooves shattering the cold wind. The fierce wind and snow roared and surged around it like a thousand troops, blowing the Crowned King's cloak-like wings like a battle flag fluttering.

The Brilliant King gripped a crystal-clear ice lance tightly, its tip gleaming coldly, its sharp point piercing through the gloom and pointing straight ahead.

As the Snowstorm Horse reached its maximum speed, its lance transformed into a streak of cold light that pierced through the heavens and earth, tearing apart all negative energy in its wake with the sharp edge of winter!

The little Huba in his arms raised his hands excitedly and shouted "So handsome!", but Su Hao recalled what had happened not long ago.

Before approaching the Tree of Origin, the Lady Crown King stood solemnly before him.

"Tianci's 'Radiant Power' is indeed the nemesis of dark matter."

"But that one is a little different."

"The thing that grows by feeding on the world's despair, multiplying infinitely, and encroaching on the world's primordial tree, will only have its negative energy tentacles destroyed if its core is not dealt with."

"We have only one objective: to eliminate them before they infiltrate the core crystal of the Tree of Origin, seize control, and detonate the root system that extends beneath the planet!"

As a legend that once confronted the Creation Star in the World Tree Secret Realm for tens of thousands of years, it can be said that no one understands it better than the Crowned King.

During this long period of freezing, the Queen of the Rathalos had mentally rehearsed countless times how to completely eradicate the opponent.

"Therefore, I hope you can believe in me and believe in them."

"Let Diancie gather her strength."

"Leave the road ahead to you—we will pave it for you!"

Back to the present.

Su Hao could see that as the Brilliant King charged forward, the passage leading to the interior of the Tree of Origin was opening up to them.

—Until the final barrier was shattered by the combined "Star Shatter" of the Crowned King and the Spirit Horse, it immediately turned to Su Hao and roared, "Now!"

Pulling themselves out of their memories, Su Hao and Diancie exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Leave everything to us!"

Chapter 1567 The Dark Giant

A biting wind howled behind me, and the air was thick with a foul, rotten smell.

Looking at the huge hole blasted out by the Rare Crown King's "Star Shatter," Su Hao patted Milton beneath him after responding, and with Diancie behind him and Hoopa in its arms, he resolutely flew into the inner space of the Tree of Beginning.

—It's time to make a clean break.

The externally dancing negative energy tentacles are merely a self-defense mechanism controlled by the dark matter sub-core of the Creation Star. Perhaps it is because it has merged with the roots and trunk of most of the world's primordial tree that it has become in this form, similar to plant roots.

But those things are suppressed by Lehiram and others.

Su Hao's sole objective is to reach the end of the World's Primordial Tree and the core crystal that coordinates the internal ecological environment.

Before Creation Star could completely seize control of the Tree of Origin and detonate its roots, causing further instability in the world, he and Diancie had to purify the other party first.

But how vast is the interior space of the Tree of Origin?

The differences in the worlds have caused changes in the overall structure of the Tree of Origin.

The route and experience that Su Hao knew so well to the World Tree of Beginning in the Pokémon world were obviously useless here.

The passageway was closing in step by step, like the rolling malice of the final boss in a console game called "Calamity Ganon" that Su Hao had played before his transmigration.

The longer you linger, the easier it is to be surrounded and swallowed up from the inside out.

While Diancie's radiant aura is the nemesis of these things, it's clearly not worth expending precious power to resist something that can be infinitely generated as long as negative emotions are ingested.

Therefore, at this moment, Diancie only maintained the minimum range of radiant aura surrounding herself, Su Hao, Milton, and Little Hoopa.

Just like the only point of light in a pitch-black world, these negative energies, which are extensions of the dark matter and have merged with part of the self-defense mechanism of the Tree of Origin, surged forward one after another as if they were stressed, determined to overwhelm and devour them.

Because to these energies, Su Hao and his group are no different from foreign viruses or cancer cells.

"I also got to experience what it's like to be a 'villain'."

To ease his tension, Su Hao, holding Millerton's shoulder "handle," turned his head to look at the little Huba in Tianxi's arms.

"Little Huba, how are you feeling?"

"Gurgle gurgle..."

Little Huba, who was being questioned, frowned as if trying to understand something.

After a moment, it said sadly and dejectedly, "It won't work, Little White, Hoopa can't sense anything outside."

"It's okay, don't forget we still have that."

Su Hao gently patted Xiao Hupa's head to comfort him, but his expression didn't change much.

Little Hoopa had anticipated that he wouldn't be able to connect to the outside world on his own before rushing in.

Even a single fragment of the Ghost Slate could seal this little guy in the Valley of Creation, let alone the power related to dark matter.

However, this is not without a solution.

Su Hao's gaze fell on the Punishment Jar, which he had temporarily placed in the system space.

That's why, when the opportunity arose, he chose to seize the Punishment Jar instead of attacking Giovanni.

However, it's not the right time to play this card yet.

Looking at the negative energy tentacles around him suppressed by the ionic currents spewed by Millerton, Su Hao flipped his wrist, and a high-level ball appeared in his palm.

Even though it was difficult to participate in the previous God Wars, now it's up to your own Pokémon to turn the tide.

"Come out, Lucario."

"And then—Mega Evolution!"

On the torn necklace, the light trail emanating from the Key Stone connects with the light trail emanating from the Evolution Stone that appears on Lucario's chest.

Within the radiant aura, intense light burst forth, and rich life energy erupted, with jet-black patterns etched onto Lucario's body.
