Chapter 286: Vessel of Punishment

Boom!!

Under this massive impact, Hui Guo Rou's head buzzed, and in an instant he lost self-awareness.

In that insurmountable gap of power, he felt as if crushed by a giant mountain.

At the same time, its guardian spirit beast was shattered along with it, turning into nothingness.

The floor of the hall suddenly collapsed downward in a large section.

If someone unaware had seen it, they might have thought a meteor had just fallen, forcibly creating such a huge crater.

Luo Ge remained silent.

He still sat on the Wang Zuo, while floating dust around him could never approach, as if an invisible barrier blocked it from outside.

"Pick-up Ability activated: Obtain item (Rare) 【Vessel of Punishment】"

(Rare) 【Vessel of Punishment】:

Long ago, the legendary Pokémon Hoopa was sealed within this pot.

Upon use, it can summon Hoopa to fight for one minute.

Good news: something dropped.

Bad news: it wasn't secret seasoning.

Good news: it's a more important Rare-tier item!

Luo Ge's breath hitched; his hands unconsciously clenched, and a gleam flashed across his eyes.

It actually was 【Vessel of Punishment】!!

【Vessel of Punishment】 was undoubtedly an item more precious than 【Moon-Eclipse Feather】 or 【Millennium Meteor】.

Because 【Vessel of Punishment】 represents the infamous Super-Devil Hoopa!

Just from the title alone, one could see how terrifyingly strong this creature was.

As a famous Mythical Pokémon, Hoopa also had its own movie, where it shone brilliantly.

Legend says that 100 years ago, Hoopa wreaked havoc across Desert City.

A traveler named Guris borrowed three sources of life: Water, Fire, and Ground attributes.

By extracting their attributes, he crafted the Vessel of Punishment to seal Hoopa, preventing it from passing through rings anymore.

From then on, it became Punishment Hoopa; Guris brought it to live in the Valley of Creation.

Since then, Hoopa has had two forms: 【Punishment】 and 【Liberty】.

Punishment Hoopa is a small form with its power sealed away.

It uses rings that distort space to blast all troublemakers far away.

It uses rings to collect things it likes into a secret dwelling, and can dive into a ring to teleport instantly.

Liberty Hoopa is Hoopa's true form, possessing immense power.

Legend says that driven by desire for treasure, it once uprooted and stole an entire castle filled with treasure.

It is said to use six rings and six giant arms to snatch away everything.

These descriptions are insufficient to intuitively show how formidable Hoopa truly is.

What truly made Luo Ge admire Hoopa was that it is a 【Summoner】.

As the name Gu Mingsiyi suggests, Hoopa can summon various Pokémon and then mentally control them, turning them into its puppets.

In the movie, Hoopa sealed within the Vessel of Punishment broke free and wreaked havoc across the city.

Moreover, it summoned a full six Tier-One Gods as helpers.

What a terrifying ability.

Even if this was its limit, being able to control six Tier-One Gods to fight at once is already an astonishing, world-shocking capability.

No wonder it had to be sealed away.

That legendary traveler Guris was no pushover either; he actually managed to seal such a terrifying Hoopa.

Luo Ge's thoughts stirred.

A slightly long ancient pot appeared in his hand.

The ancient pot had a long handle, was pink, and its lower end bore six yellow ring patterns, foreshadowing the rings Hoopa uses.

Just holding it, Luo Ge could feel a faint yet terrifying aura.

It is hard to imagine that if this item were used to let Hoopa come out and fight, who could possibly become its opponent.

Of course, there are some questions here.

First, is the summoned Hoopa in the 【Punishment】 form or the 【Liberty】 form?

Second, can Hoopa, located in the Hunter World, summon Legendary Pokémon from the Pokémon world?

Third, if Hoopa does not summon Pokémon.

Can it instead summon terrifying 【Disasters】 from the Dark Continent and control them?

All these remain uncertain.

However, he cannot answer these himself.

After all, only so much information was provided; if he truly wanted to know the answers, he would have to use the 【Vessel of Punishment】.

Such a good item cannot be used casually.

【Vessel of Punishment】 has already replaced the previous two, becoming the greatest trump card in his hand!

While his thoughts were swirling, the battle outside had already ended.

Figures flashed one after another inside the hall.

They were none other than the ghost troop led by Yang De, and the three women of Machi.

At the same time, the remains of those dead powerful ones were also gathered into the thought-space.

Without Luo Ge needing to give many orders, a Life-and-Death Shadow spontaneously moved toward Twice-Cooked Pork.

It was to fuse with Twice-Cooked Pork, just as it controlled Bi Yang De.

Luo Ge did not let the Life-and-Death Shadow fuse with those powerful ones, not even those who were super-first-rate thought-capability users.

Because even among the super-first-rate, that person's strength was inferior to Machi and the other women, not worthy of his attention.

Twice-Cooked Pork was different.

First, his strength surpassed those secret units; second, his identity as the King of Kakin was very useful.

He was worth the expenditure of one Life-and-Death Shadow.

The number of Life-and-Death Shadows was precious and could not be used casually.

In the future, he would inevitably clash with V5; the Jieshi Society would then have more powerful ones he would want to control.

The Life-and-Death Shadow stood at the center of the large pit.

Then it directly drilled into Twice-Cooked Pork.

This scene was like Venom searching for a host.

(Alright) That ink-black gas, like a maggot clinging to bone, swirled around him, while black gas continuously emanated from his body.

Even while in a coma, Twice-Cooked Pork displayed an expression of extreme pain.

His face, covered in fat, twisted into a knot.

A few breaths later.

Twice-Cooked Pork's struggling movements ceased; immediately, he rose from the ground, and the injuries on his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His eyes regained clarity, the pain on his face vanished accordingly, and the black gas on his body could be controlled at will.

He looked no different from before, as if nothing had happened.

Twice-Cooked Pork bowed deeply before Luo Ge and said respectfully:

"Greetings, my Lord!"

This was his second powerful subordinate brought about by the Life-and-Death Shadow!

Luo Ge's gaze flickered slightly.

"Twice-Cooked Pork, hand over the pot from the Pot-of-Eggs Ritual to me."
