This elf world is a bit strange

But it never expected that just as it bent over to drink water, spatial fluctuations would rise from the bottom of the lake.

The head of the three gods, the master of the reversed world, has been waiting for this moment of revenge for a long time.

"boom--"

A column of water surged up, and the dark red reversed world and the material world, two sides of the same coin, merged together again.

The pitch-black dragon rushed out and charged head-on at the culprit who not only disturbed people's dreams but also turned the entire reversed world into a mess.

"Puff-"

Caught off guard, Dialga, who had already lost a lot of power, fell directly into the water and got into a fight with Giratina.

The two giants were fighting fiercely, but neither of them noticed that a small hedgehog who happened to be in the river near the lake was also caught in the aftermath of the battle and fell into the center of the vortex of fierce fighting. He could only struggle weakly and drift with the tide.

Chapter 322 History is the development of life

A noisy night passed.

The next day, just as the east was beginning to brighten, Qi Xin, who had tossed and turned for most of the night and barely managed to fall asleep, was awakened by his anxious subordinates.

While he was half asleep, he heard the worst news in months.

When the guard who had been hypnotized for a whole night woke up, Damos had escaped from the prison, and with him left many of the elders of Mygina and his trusted subordinates.

"Gudu..."

The sudden bad news shocked Qi Xin so much that he lost all desire to sleep.

An intense fear enveloped his heart, but he couldn't help but feel grateful for his foresight.

"Thanks to our precautions last night, we captured all his dozens of monsters and put them in shackles. Otherwise...hiss!"

Thinking of the dozens of powerful Pokémon that Damos counted as his arms, Qi Xin took a breath and muttered to himself.

Fortunately, they are now all shackled and have become weapons that obey his orders. They can no longer cause any trouble, and instead can become his vanguards in the search for Damos.

"Lord Qi Xin, what should we do now?"

The subordinate who came to report the news was already somewhat at a loss, and Damos's prestige made him subconsciously want to avoid meeting the king.

“Is there even any need to say more? Give the order to search the entire city and bring him back no matter what… Hmm? Who told you to come in now? Why are you so rude? Can’t you see I’m talking about something?!”

Just as he was about to issue an order, before he could finish his words, another panicked soldier strode into the room, causing Qi Xin's dissatisfaction and he shouted coldly.

But this time, his subordinates who always obeyed his orders did not care about much and said anxiously: "Master Qi Xin, something big has happened! We must report to you immediately!"

"It's a big deal again... Tell me."

Seeing that the anxiety in his subordinates' eyes did not seem fake, Qi Xin's anger subsided a little and he sat back on the throne.

"Sir, look at this!" The soldier strode forward, took out a long strip of cloth, and spread it in front of Qi Xin. "Now this is everywhere in the city. Everyone who wakes up can see it!"

"boom!"

"What did you say?!"

Qi Xin slammed the table, grabbed the cloth strip, and trembled with anger.

[Qixin and his men acted on their own will and stole the power of the gods, and they will be punished.]

The pitch-black ink spread the heart-piercing words throughout the city, late at night without him and all the soldiers knowing.

The mountain city's strict security was like a piece of useless window paper that was easily broken by a poke, and was humiliatingly poked into thousands of holes.

As they were talking, noisy shouts were heard from a distance.

Early in the morning, the news spread throughout this not-so-large mountain town like an infectious disease.

For a time, people were in a panic, and even citizens gathered outside the palace to seek an explanation.

Yesterday's anger found a channel to vent today. Old problems and new problems were superimposed on each other, and Chisin, who was not supported by the majority of people, was suddenly pushed to the forefront.

"Damn it! They are all good-for-nothings!"

"Dang Cang——"

The neurotic Chisin flew into a rage, swung his scepter vigorously, and smashed the table full of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Then, he rushed to various parts of the room in a rage, and the carefully designed and crafted decorations were shattered in his frenzied swings. The two subordinates were so scared that they could only hide in the corner of the room and tremble, fearing that this increasingly moody boss would vent his anger on them.

Fortunately for them, Qi Xin still maintained his rational judgment.

Although he was angry, after smashing more than a dozen exquisite decorations, he calmed down, waved his hand to call the two people to his front, and spoke in a cold tone that made people shudder:

"Pass on my order. Post notices everywhere in the city and tell everyone that Damos is the shameless sinner who tried to take the source of life for himself. He also colluded with those mysterious people who suddenly appeared yesterday and stole the source of life. Now we have to search the whole city and bring them all back!"

"Is this...Is this...I understand. I'll do it right away!"

The two subordinates looked at each other. The simple ancient people found it difficult to accept Qi Xin's blatant distortion of right and wrong, but under Qi Xin's murderous gaze, they were defeated in a few seconds and left trembling like a sieve.

"Bam—"

The heavy door slammed shut with a deafening noise.

After the troublesome subordinates walked away, Qi Xin seemed to have lost all strength and sat heavily on the throne with a struggling look on his face.

He already had a bad feeling about the escape of Damos, the controversy that was sweeping the city, and the increasingly loud commotion outside the palace.

With a gloomy face, he stroked the top of the scepter, and the metal shell opened, revealing the emerald source of life.

In an instant, the whole room was filled with a rich vitality, and Qi Xin also felt refreshed, and the fatigue from a night of poor sleep disappeared.

"Damos... Arceus..."

Fear, anger, struggle, unwillingness... countless emotions changed across his face, and a fierce ideological struggle broke out completely in his mind.

I don't know how much time passed, but the gloomy face turned into a twisted smile. He stood up suddenly, strode towards the empty wall, and slapped it heavily.

"Bang—click"

A secret mechanism on the wall was activated by the heavy blow. Amidst the roar of the mechanical structure, a large door opened, revealing a secret passage leading to the temple.

After looking around warily and confirming that no one was peeping, Qi Xin breathed a sigh of relief and strode in.

The heavy iron door closed again, locking all the secrets inside.

However, at a moment no one knew, an invisible eye was hanging on the roof, taking in everything that happened in the morning.

......

......

About an hour or two later, when Qi Xin returned through the secret passage with a relaxed look on his face and walked out of his room with a sense of relief, the situation had changed fundamentally.

The entire palace was in complete chaos in a short period of time.

Everywhere there were running soldiers and panicked priests, looking busy and confused.

Seeing Qi Xin walking out of the room, they immediately gathered around him as if they had found their backbone, and started reporting the situation in a flurry of conversation.

Amid the chaotic and fearful noise, Qi Xin's face turned pale and he shouted, "Shut up! Even if something terrible happened, you can't be so cowardly. Be quiet and talk to one another!"

The prestige he had accumulated over the years took effect. His loyal subordinates quieted down after hearing his scolding and stood around him cautiously.

As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, a middle-aged priest who looked quite experienced stepped forward and walked to Chixin's side. He tried to maintain his composure, but his voice trembled slightly. "Lord Chixin, just when they posted the arrest warrant for Damos and his men, something went wrong."

Qi Xin's eyes were slightly cold: "What's the problem?"

"Damos showed up, followed by a large number of his old subordinates, including those exiled slaves." The middle-aged priest swallowed hard and closed his eyes in pain. "Moreover, he gave a speech to the surrounding citizens in front of the soldiers. In the end, even the soldiers we sent defected."

"!"

"Now, the entire Midina is completely out of control. Our army is completely unable to resist and has just retreated to the palace. More and more people are joining Damos' side, and the whole city is in chaos. We can only use magic beasts to barely stop them outside the palace."

Ignoring Qi Xin's distorted face, the middle-aged priest seemed to want to say everything he had to say in this life. He spoke faster and faster, saliva flying everywhere.

"And now? Why is it so quiet? Didn't they break in?"

After listening carefully, Qi Xin discovered the problem in the other party's statement and his pupils trembled.

It was too quiet outside, with only the continuous noise of eruptions in a distant land, but no explosions or collisions of battle.

The priest nodded vigorously and said the only good news in his eyes: "Yes, I don't know why, they obviously have a huge advantage, but they did not attack, but let our soldiers and monsters retreat to the palace, leaving only a part of them outside."

The more Qi Xin listened, the more headache he felt, and his face turned from ashen to pale.

The priest was still somewhat thankful that Damos had not yet launched an attack, but he already understood everything.

Damos's decision not to attack was not a mistake, nor was it a sign of mercy, but quite the opposite.

The reason he stopped was to disperse his subordinates to various places in order to summon and mobilize the strength of the entire city-state.

He and his few subordinates came to power through a coup, hypnosis and brutal repression. Once they lost control of society, they were unable to resist the popular Damos.

"boom!!!!!"

Just as he was thinking hard, a deafening explosion sounded outside the window, followed by an extremely huge fireball that slowly rose up, which was terrifying.

"Lord Qi Xin, it's bad! They are attacking!"

The embarrassed soldiers ran from a distance, their voices trembling with fear.

He brought terrible news.

Countless citizens and freed monsters, led by Damos, launched an attack on the palace and temple.

Most of the soldiers, whose morale was already low, were completely unable to withstand the citizens whom they saw every day and the king who was highly respected by the public.

"!"

"?!"

The words of the reporting soldier brought great fear. The coup forces that had just surrounded Chisin suddenly became a mess. The timid ones were even more confused and ran away in panic.

"clang!--"

"Give it to me! Calm down!"

The scepter slammed heavily on the ground. Qi Xin tried to remain calm and shouted at his panicked subordinates.

The bronze bell behind him emitted supernatural power fluctuations, adding a magical power to his voice that soothed people.

As he shouted, the coup forces that were on the verge of collapse miraculously regained their composure in a moment.

The situation was barely maintained, but Qi Xin knew very well that this was only temporary. Once the outer defense line was completely breached, both he and his subordinates would be doomed.

This time, Damos will not give him a chance.

Knowing Damos's character well, he knew exactly why he made these arrangements.

The merciful king is a thing of the past, and the relationship between them is now a life-and-death one.

In front of the gods, they had no choice.

"Follow me and beat them back! We are the stronger side, Mitina is ours!"

With a loud shout, Qi Xin, knowing that there was no way to retreat, took the lead and rushed to the front line of the battle.

He wanted to defeat Damos himself, kill him and his men, and completely control Mitina.

Although he was extremely nervous and there were countless known and unknown powerful enemies waiting ahead, this was the only choice he had.

It's like being crushed forward by the wheel of fate.

He didn't believe that the citizens, who were usually as docile as lambs, and the slaves who had exhausted their physical strength in prison could defeat the powerful army he had carefully assembled, which even took Arceus as its imaginary enemy.

At least I don't want to believe it.

Waves of superpowers flashed repeatedly, controlling the soldiers who had fled into the palace and following closely behind him.

Dozens of powerful Pokémon that were scattered throughout the palace and bound by his shackles, originally obeying Damos but now under his control, also came one after another in the glow of the scepter.

Moving forward quickly, the team grew larger and larger until they stood in front of an even larger team.

The scale of the incident was so large that even Qi Xin could not help but feel terrified, as if most of the people in the city-state had gathered under Damos's command and shared the same hatred for the enemy.

But he and his army seemed to be alone.

"...Can we really win?"

During the tense confrontation, the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

The soul-searching question posed by a trembling soldier aroused the fear in everyone's heart.

The morale that had been barely restored with the help of super powers was showing signs of collapse again.
