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

Losing is to be expected.

Suicune excels at using the North Wind and Purify, making it no match for Tapu Koko, a god of war whose archetype is Taeko.

Nature's wrath destroys everything around it with overwhelming force, and only authority can stand against it.

Although it has not yet formed a complete authority, the empty shell of authority has given Diancie the ability to freely exercise the laws of light she has mastered even in the late stages of the Champion level.

At Su Hao's prompting, Diancie did not hesitate to gather all the light energy within her radiant aura and concentrate it above her head, transforming it into a golden sun that released intense light to counteract the wrath of nature.

In the distance, one can still vaguely discern the shadow of the end of the world!

The forces of nature clashed most fiercely with the forces that destroyed nature!

Although she managed to hold on, the relentless pressure continued to assault Diancie.

Compared to this pressure, even a Master-level Giant Dragonite seems ordinary, and Ninja Mask is not even worth comparing.

Tapu Koko is definitely a top-tier second-class legendary fighter in the same league as Mega Latias, Mega Latios, and the strongest Darkrai. Even if Diancie is exceptionally talented, it would be extremely difficult for her to gain an advantage over a major level opponent.

That might be the case from Su Hao and Diancie's perspective, but from other perspectives, it's a completely different story.

The aerial shots by Rotom captured the intense battle scene beautifully.

Chu Ya, who was in Shanghai and was about to rush to the Viridian Forest to meet someone after receiving an urgent message, paused, her gaze falling on the screen, her expression slightly frozen.

Even Tapu Koko, which Suicune couldn't defeat, was able to exchange energy with Diancie.

This is really...

The surprise lingered in Chu Ya's mind for only a moment before quickly turning into anxiety.

She stared at the close-up of Su Hao's profile in the live stream, recalling the situation at Tokiwa Forest mentioned in the notification, and murmured, "You must finish this quickly and come back, Su Hao."

......

David Carlisle stared dumbfounded at Diancie's figure behind him, as the sun shone brightly and clashed fiercely with Tapu Koko's natural energy, as if he had seen a ghost.

No way, it's one thing for the Iron-Faced Ninja to fight a giant Dragonite, but how come you can even go toe-to-toe with Tapu Koko?!

Even a Champion-level Mythical Pokémon doesn't make sense. Tapu Koko is a Legendary Pokémon, this is too outrageous.

David Carlisle's initial confidence—or rather, his confidence that he could defeat all of Su Hao's Pokémon except for the True Dragon with Tapu Koko—suddenly wavered.

No way, this is Tapu Koko, she can't possibly be no match for Diancie!?

At this moment, the stalemate between nature's wrath and the sun's rays reached its peak.

The stable energy structure began to collapse, and a tremendous explosion was born from the center of the confrontation, which immediately resounded throughout the entire Melemele Island.

Moments later, the thick smoke dissipated.

In a crimson crater filled with melting rubble, Diancie and Tapu Koko faced off, both suffering injuries of varying degrees.

Tapu Koko closed its bird-head-shaped shell to defend itself when the explosion struck. The extremely hard shell gave it powerful defensive capabilities, and its main body only suffered minor injuries.

Even though Diancie hastily constructed a defense and possessed outstanding defensive capabilities, she still suffered significant damage, and her stamina was almost half of what it would have been when hit head-on by Nature's Wrath in the game.

This was the result even though Tapu Koko was suppressed by the power of light within the Radiant Aura.

The disparity in combat strength between the two sides is evident.

David Carlisle visibly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that the first victory was now a piece of cake. Diancie, looking like a candle in the wind, seemed unlikely to withstand Tapu Koko's second Nature's Wrath, which, with the help of nature's power, consumed almost no energy.

Even though Tapu Koko fought autonomously the entire time and acted as a support character, it didn't affect the fact that he did defeat Su Hao's Diancie in the semi-finals of the Legend Cup.

That alone is enough.

While David Carlisle was practically bursting with joy, Su Hao was checking on Diancie's current condition through a waveguide.

When he asked Diancie if she wanted to be substituted and replaced by Reshiram or Motoscu, Diancie gently shook her head.

"I...can still fight!"

Even though the fluttering white veil had developed tears and was covered in dust.

But Diancie's will told it that it could not stop there.

It could sense that it was very close to that realm, to that distant star.

Next, just raise your hand and touch it; that will allow you to reach the star!

The brilliant diamond within her body, nearly halfway filled, shimmered faintly. Although it was completely unconscious, Diancie clearly sensed that the empty shell of authority was asking her a question.

What is light to you?

"...Light can illuminate all things and dispel darkness."

Muttering the answer that was already clearly reflected in her heart, even though she rarely showed her disheveled side, Diancie's eyes were incredibly bright at this moment.

A touch of gold quietly spread across its pink eyes.

This statement, like Diancie's promise, commitment, and self-awareness, has gained global recognition.

The laws of the world began to tremble slightly, as if celebrating and encouraging the birth of a new legend.

Throughout the world, many living legends opened their eyes and looked toward the sacred islands, their expressions filled with shock.

In this era... a new legend is about to be born?

In a vast, high-dimensional space independent of the world, a pair of divine eyes opened, gazing through space at a certain spot on the blue planet, a hint of surprise flickering across their faces.

I got this UR for free, and it's already progressed to this point so quickly?

After a moment's hesitation, the creator god bestowed His blessing upon the world.

"May your journey be glorious and brilliant."

Chapter 1461 Diancie, Second-Rank Legendary! (Two Chapters Combined)

The land of minerals.

With their great revenge fulfilled, their long-cherished wish satisfied, and no longer threatened by the Dark Night, much has changed here.

But the only thing that remains unchanged is the sacred diamond, the foundation of the mineral kingdom located directly above the palace.

At this time, Queen Tianci was summoning her ministers and subordinates to discuss the relocation.

Originally, in order to prevent the possible resurrection of Eterna, they chose to relocate their entire race to the place where Zacian, Zamazent, and the previous Queen Tianci fought against Eterna, which is now the Augusto Mountains.

Now that Wujitana has been sealed by the two gods of time and space, there is no possibility of it breaking free of the seal for at least the next ten thousand years. So they are considering whether to return to their ancestral land.

Although the Mineral Kingdom has arrived in reality and overlaps with the underground environment of the Augusto Mountains, the existence of the Sacred Diamond allows the Mineral Kingdom to still use its power to semi-mysteriously transform and move its surroundings.

The target is the French Union, which borders the British Union, where the ruins of a former mineral kingdom are hidden underground.

Queen Tianxi, the Diamond Minister, and the Little Diamond subordinates were originally in favor of relocating to the Divine Continent Alliance where Su Hao was located. However, considering the long distance and the fact that the Sacred Diamond could not withstand long-distance travel, this idea had to be abandoned.

The British Commonwealth has recently been in contact with mineral-producing nations, inviting them to accept national tributes.

With the elimination of Aeontana, Queen Diancie no longer intends to have contact with most outsiders. After all, apart from the kingdom of the first Queen Diancie, the Mineral Kingdom has always adhered to the rule of seclusion.

The so-called meeting was nothing more than a formality, followed by a notification to the British Commonwealth.

After all, without the other party's cooperation, the Mineral Kingdom would probably have to put in a lot more effort to complete its plans before the revival of Eterna, so this courtesy and respect should still be shown.

Just as the discussion was drawing to a close, as if sensing something, Queen Diancie, seated on her throne, looked up at the palace dome.

With a thought, Queen Diancie caused the dome to open automatically, revealing the sacred diamond that was in a special state above the dome!

At this moment, the sacred diamond shimmered with a bright pink light, and concentric ripples spread outwards, attracting the attention of countless tiny diamonds from the mineral kingdoms outside.

It also appears to have a slight gold hue mixed in.

A peculiar aura also lingered around the sacred diamond.

".......!"

Queen Diancie stared wide-eyed silently, her gaze fixed on the sacred diamond with an intense disbelief.

The Diamond Minister trembled with excitement.

"This is...this is another second-tier legendary figure in our clan!"

"Her Majesty the Queen is right in front of us... Could it be... the Diamond Princess who's been away!?"

Accepting the inheritance of a sacred diamond is equivalent to "recognizing one's ancestry" in the human world. Although it is not as direct as sharing the family's glory and loss, it still means that the sacred diamond records the aura of the person who receives the inheritance.

The aura is connected to the physical body. If there is any change in the physical body, it will be reflected to a certain extent in the sacred diamond, letting the people of the Diamond Kingdom know about Diancie's condition.

The analogy is similar to the soul lamp or life tablet in the world of cultivation.

The last time a Sacred Diamond exhibited this reaction was when the current Queen Diancie successfully received the inheritance and was promoted to the second-class legendary level.

Logically speaking, there is no longer any authority belonging to Diancie's line of Mythical Pokémon. Unless the current generation passes away, only the successor can inherit the power contained in this authority.

The path forward is blocked. If you want to make progress, you either need to find other suitable, unauthorized entities or walk your own path, which is extremely difficult.

Queen Tianci remembered that her sister had once told her that it would forge its own path.

At this moment, the changes in the Sacred Diamond are far more dramatic than when Queen Diancie advanced to the second-tier legendary level, which also signifies Diancie's increased power upon completing the advancement.

"You guys really...did it!"

Recalling past memories, Queen Diancie was already in tears, her pink eyes brimming with blessings.

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

The sacred islands, Melo Melo Island.

The sudden change not only shocked David Carlisle, but also caused Tapu Koko, who was planning to continue the pursuit, to stop preparing his second "Nature's Wrath".

In the chaotic battlefield, you could hear a pin drop.

"........Puka".

Tapu Koko glanced at Diancie, who was gradually being enveloped by the ball of light, with a complicated expression. He decided not to take any further action.

This was the first time it had ever seen such a scene. In the distant past, the moon god and the sun god had also visited the sacred islands and had a brief exchange with them.

This is why the island of Bonne in the Sanctuary of the Islands has a sun and moon altar that hides intense light energy.

However, in its view, the changes that Diancie is undergoing at this moment, in terms of hidden status, may be even more significant than the changes in the Star Cocoon, the nascent form of the Sun and Moon God who came to the Sun and Moon Altar to complete its metamorphosis during that brief period of communication.

Could such a tremendous change occur when the energy of the fairy's origin merges and intertwines with light energy?
