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

Xerneas's sudden loss of consciousness immediately threw Diancie, whose heart had finally begun to relax, into a panic.

Diancie opened her mouth, but could only utter a silent call, and was immediately at a loss.

Although Su Hao and Mewtwo were a step behind, they still followed closely behind.

"Calm down, let me take a look first."

Gently patting the disoriented Diancie's shoulder, channeling aura power to stabilize her emotions, while looking at Xerneas.

Its injuries were shocking, almost to the point of being critically wounded. However, as the god of life, as long as Xerneas did not exhaust its life force and revert to its tree form to hibernate, these external injuries should not cause it to lose consciousness.

With questions in mind, Su Hao held nothing back and directly raised his hand to create a ball of life energy radiating a rich life force, attempting to send it directly into Xerneas's body.

However, this life energy, enough to revive a patch of green land and a forest, was blocked by a dense, deep green light the moment it was about to enter Xerneas's body, and dissipated directly into the world.

"The power of order..."

Having spent some time with Xiao Ruan, Su Hao frowned slightly and immediately recognized the true nature of the power that was blocking his healing of Xerneas.

Is healing forbidden, or rather, is it prohibited for Xerneas to use his abundant life force to heal his injuries?

"Mewtwo, do you have a way to break it down?"

Su Hao looked at Mewtwo and asked a question.

Mewtwo didn't answer, but instead turned its gaze to the sky not far away, to the figure of Zygarde, who was unilaterally beating Ho-Oh.

Without Mewtwo needing to explain further, Su Hao understood what it was trying to say.

Rather than wasting effort and time, and choosing to erode the power of order by betting that Xerneas can withstand his injuries which could worsen at any moment, it would be better to address the root of the problem directly.

—If Zygard himself falls into a disadvantageous situation, he will reclaim these powers of order.

Even if the opponent stubbornly refuses to withdraw, it can directly inflict severe injuries on Zygarde, at which point the power of order will collapse on its own!

That's a very fitting answer for Mewtwo's personality.

Diancie instantly realized what Super Dream was trying to say.

It remained silent for only two seconds before standing up without hesitation, its gaze fixed on the formidable Zygarde in the distance.

I will defeat it!

As soon as she finished speaking, Diancie was enveloped in a bright light, and accompanied by the howling wind, she, draped in white gauze, directly intervened in the very center of the battlefield!

The moment the answer was revealed, Su Hao, who had already guessed that Diancie would make this choice, did not say anything to stop her.

It goes without saying how important Xerneas is to Diancie, and Zygarde's actions were truly like dancing on a minefield.

Even now, he was filled with rage, wishing he could use every treasure vein he could to teach Blue Star Zygarde, who, like the core of reason, talked about order and attacked indiscriminately, why the flowers were so red.

However, in order to remain calm, coordinate the overall situation, and prevent the Rising Star Organization and Giovanni from taking advantage of the chaos during this legendary battle, they must take advantage of the situation.

One must have a rational and comprehensive view of the whole situation.

First and foremost is the unusual nature of the blue planet Zygarde.

Logically speaking, Zygarde in his 50% form could overwhelm Xerneas or Yveltal due to his affinity advantage.

But it can only be considered 50% of the form. According to Xiao Ruan, the authority of order is also divided into two, and so is the power.

Even though Ho-Oh is incredibly weak and can't even manage a form change, it's still a veteran powerhouse among the legendary classes. After discarding its illusory special effects appearance, it was repeatedly defeated by Zygarde's offensive.

This suddenly appearing Blue Star Zygarde, who had been almost nowhere to be seen before, is far stronger than the Ration Core in the Pokémon world.

This is undoubtedly abnormal.

Fortunately, Diancie had already successfully advanced to the second-tier legendary level and warmed up through her battle with Tapu Koko, gaining a clear understanding of the new power she had acquired.

Thanks to its refined depiction of a radiant aura, and the deliberate leaks by Xiao Ruan, a guy who loves to stir up trouble and sacrifice his own friends.

In addition, Diancie once fought against the sanity core of the Pokémon world.

Su Hao felt that at least 50% of Zygarde's form was completely helpless against Diancie.

After all, in terms of the level of power, the Radiant Authority is at least on the same level as the Authority of Order, and may even be stronger.

In that case, what I need to do now is—

After completing the rational analysis, Su Hao asked Mewtwo, "Help me suppress the power of order and stabilize Xerneas's condition. I will take this opportunity to heal some of its injuries as much as possible."

"it is good."

Mewtwo nodded slightly, and responded with action without saying a word.

"I'll help you too."

Reshiram, who has the appearance of a chibi dragon, also appeared and helped Su Hao stabilize Xerneas's injuries.

As for supporting Diancie, neither Reshiram nor Mewtwo felt it was necessary.

Their thoughts were the same as Su Hao's. Besides, Zygarde was, after all, a god representing order, and they couldn't possibly defeat him and force him back into the world.

—At the very least, it needs to be given a good beating to make Xerneas pay back many times over for what it suffered.

Let's leave this to Diancie to do from the start.

They'll take care of cleaning up the mess.

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

Above the Viridian Forest.

Upon sensing the familiar presence, Ho-Oh dropped the pretense. Even after being hit head-on by a barrage of arrows and nearly riddled with light bolts, it still gloated as it shouted at Zygarde, "They're back! Haha, you're finished!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Zygard frowned, but his attention remained focused on the direction from which the strange aura had just emanated.

Before it could ascertain the situation through its own cells, a dazzling ball of light, carrying a powerful aura, flew straight toward this direction from the ground not far away!

A hint of surprise flashed in the giant cobra's eyes as it saw the form within the ball of light.

"Queen Diancie... no, this is the aura of the authority of light. Are you the newly ascended god?"

While Zygarde was too focused on dealing with Xerneas and Ho-Oh, he was surprised to discover that a new god had been born into the world not long ago.

Moreover, its authority is the authority of light, which has never been fully controlled by any legend!

Diancie had no desire to communicate with Zygarde; all it wanted now was to return what had been done to Xerneas.

The Radiant Aura began to expand directly under its will, encompassing Ho-Oh and Zygarde within its range!

"An aura I've never seen before?"

Realizing that this little guy was also there to stop him, Zygarde snorted coldly, and a deep green light flickered around him.

"Hmph, no matter what kind of aura it is, it cannot withstand my 'Aura Destruction'!"

With that, Zygarde unleashed the power of "Aura Destruction," directly extending it towards the Radiant Aura that had dared to include him within its range.

However, the future it predicted—that the radiant aura would be utterly destroyed by the aura's destruction—did not happen.

No, to be precise, it successfully disrupted the aura.

—But the attempt to destroy the aura failed.

The moment he realized this reality, the brimming-with-confidence Zygarde was dumbfounded.

------------

Chapter 1469 Zygarde 50% VS Diancie!

"How is that possible!?"

At this moment, Ziegler could no longer maintain his composure, and words of disbelief slipped out.

"My aura destruction couldn't even destroy a mutant aura!?"

Zygarde, defiant of evil, increased the power of his aura destruction, but the aura destruction was like hitting a solid wall; not only did it fail to destroy the aura, it couldn't even cause a ripple in the radiant aura.

It was as if the structure that made up the radiant aura completely blocked all the nodes that the aura could destroy.

—It was as if another version of herself had completely revealed her most treasured method of destroying auras to Diancie, whom she was meeting for the first time, and even personally helped her strengthen her aura to an unimaginable degree through the power of aura destruction and order!

Zygard, who had always felt that everything was under control, realized for the first time that the situation might be beyond his control.

Of course, there are ways to disrupt the current aura. If it so chooses, it can directly activate its 100% form. With the full power of its authority of order, even the radiant aura before it will surely be crushed.

—But, Zygard could not accept such an answer.

To defeat a mere second-tier legendary-level opponent, one must activate their full power and ensure the completion of their mission in their complete form.

What a joke!

To deal with Ho-Oh, I only need 50% of my form. Even though Diancie has the power of light that no one has ever controlled before, it doesn't have the right to let me activate my full 100% form!

"Even without disrupting this aura, I can still easily defeat you all!"

A high-pitched, piercing sound echoed across the sky above Viridian Forest. Zygarde temporarily set aside Ho-Oh, its primary target, and turned its attention directly to Diancie!

With anger brewing in her eyes, Diancie was not afraid of Zygarde's targeting at all. As if she were provoking the other party, she fully unleashed the glorious aura that had undergone a transformation after advancing to the second-tier legendary level.

In an instant, the entire space above Viridian Forest seemed to be thrown into a furnace made of liquid starlight. Diancie's glittering golden diamond body suddenly burst forth with billions of prismatic light trails, and countless tiny diamond fragments gushed out from its crystal, which was covered by fluttering white gauze, and condensed into flowing bands of light in the air.

Diamonds refract different shades of iridescent light, creating a waterfall of light that appears as if the entire spectrum has been broken down and rewoven together under the illumination of light trails.

Brilliant, mysterious, incomparably magnificent... all words of praise seem pale and powerless to describe the domain that Diancie is radiating at this moment.

Phoenix King's eyes widened even more.

Goodness, how long has it been since this little girl learned the elegant application of the Law of Light from me? She's already surpassed me so quickly!

Ho-Oh admitted that even it couldn't create so many dazzling light effects; aside from making the battle scenes more intense, all it could do was weave rainbows.

This Ho-Oh is very good at creating things from scratch; even after it leaves, it will exist for a period of time.

Putting aside the dazzling light effects of its radiant aura, this is not a flashy but impractical imitation like Ho-Oh.

They are all, in fact, part of the power of the Radiant Authority that Diancie wields, serving as her weapons to carry out her orders and achieve her goals.

Zygarde landed on the ground; after all, it has the Ground type as its secondary attribute, and three of its four signature moves are Ground type moves.

Given that Dragon-type moves are unlikely to be very effective against Diancie, it's better for her to stay on the ground, just like she did against Xerneas, to unleash her full power.

Zygard never took Diancie seriously, even though Diancie possessed a rare power of light and her aura remained intact, but the gap in their combat strength was unavoidable.
