Chapter 154: Pokémon Respond to Their Trainer

"Good."

Ye Xuan nodded and handed the fruit to Su Su Mengyao.

Ye Xuan neither agreed nor disputed her earlier claim that "Nica fruit and ordinary Pokémon are not of equal value."

After all, in anime, Pokémon—aside from Legendary and some Mythical ones—are not particularly powerful; even Champions and Gym Leaders are no exception.

But the Pokémon world was created by Arceus, a multiversal entity; you cannot measure a Pokémon's strength or potential solely by its anime performance.

Moreover, many now believe the rules established by Arceus in the Pokémon world restrict Pokémon's power, and that if they appeared in other worlds, they would demonstrate far greater strength.

Ye Xuan agreed with this view.

So he was willing to give it a try.

And Cardie was one of his favorite Pokémon—by far more than Nica fruit.

As long as you give trust, Pokémon will respond; this is a truth known to all who love Pokémon.

"Then, can I..."

Su Su Mengyao took the Nica fruit, but her gaze involuntarily drifted toward Angel Zhi Xin; though she knew Zhi Xin was an embodiment of the Rat Talisman, by its power, the woman was, in a sense, the true Angel Zhi Xin, and her knowledge could propel Great Xia's technology into a quantum leap.

"I know what you're thinking, but it's impossible."

Ye Xuan cut her fantasy short.

"Human civilization does not fall under the Angelic Order of Justice, nor has it been invaded by a higher civilization; the so-called mutated creatures are merely native lifeforms of Blue Planet that evolved due to spiritual energy, giving rise to new species."

"This is fundamentally an internal civilizational struggle."

"Do you think the Angelic civilization has any reason to intervene in such internal conflicts? Moreover, human civilization currently holds absolute dominance over mutated creatures on a civilizational level."

The core principle of the Order of Justice is to uphold the Divine River moral and natural philosophy: the strong must not bully the weak, without interfering in the internal disputes of civilizations; all must coexist in orderly harmony.

The Angelic civilization maintains the fundamental order of the known universe with its overwhelming power.

Forget the fact that humanity could never join the Order of Justice—even if it did, the Angelic civilization would never aid humanity, which holds absolute dominance in this internal conflict.

Even if they intervened due to the brutality of war, the Angelic civilization should support the weaker side, not humanity as the dominant power—or enforce peace between humanity and mutated creatures.

But that would mean sacrificing the interests of humanity, the dominant civilization.

Would Great Xia agree to that?

Who would willingly take on a thankless, burdensome task?

If they truly wanted to kill all mutated creatures at this moment, humanity could easily do it; they simply refuse because the cost would be too great.

"Is that so?"

After hearing Ye Xuan's words, Su Su Mengyao paused, then turned her gaze to Angel Zhi Xin, who nodded.

"But if the Almighty needs it, I can do it."

"However, according to Queen Kesa's orders, the first request made by Queen Kesa after the Angelic civilization's arrival cannot be refused."

"What request?"

Su Su Mengyao asked instinctively, then suddenly realized something.

"You said according to Queen Kesa's orders?"

Isn't the Rat Talisman only able to manifest one person at a time? How could Zhi Xin know Queen Kesa's orders?

It couldn't be that Queen Kesa told Ye Xuan, and then Ye Xuan relayed it to Zhi Xin, could it?

If Zhi Xin were this easily fooled, Ye Xuan might as well just fabricate that Queen Kesa had betrothed her to him!

"Do you think it's hard for Queen Kesa to leave a message on Blue Planet's internet that only the Angelic Eye of Insight can detect?"

Ye Xuan shrugged, speaking calmly.

In fact, Zhi Xin was far from the first Angel to discover these messages; before her, he had already manifested Heavenly King He Xi and Angel Ling.

He manifested He Xi to ask this pioneer of Angelic technology for professional advice on his own power system and future development; of course, he had also manifested other top-tier intellects across various fields—He Xi was merely one of them.

Manifesting Angel Ling was purely to test the combat capabilities of the third-generation divine body.

As for why he didn't manifest Angel Yan, the Angel Yan figurine he bought had already been upgraded to a fourth-generation divine body with a Sacred Body.

He only wanted to experience the power of the third-generation divine body, not get crushed.

After seeing Queen Kesa's message, Heavenly King He Xi merely told him what Queen Kesa had done, without revealing its content; Angel Ling, though she saw it too, only gave him a strange look and said nothing.

Angel Zhi Xin was the third to see it—and the first honest Angel to tell him most of the content.

The first request from Queen Kesa cannot be refused?

He didn't even need to think—he knew exactly what that woman would demand.

"Um, how about you make the sacrifice?"

After hesitating a moment, Su Su Mengyao spoke to Ye Xuan.

"... Why don't you sacrifice yourself?"

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes.

If humanity, which holds absolute dominance in this civilizational struggle, still needs Angelic help, can you please have a little more faith in humanity?

"They wouldn't want me even if I sacrificed myself."

Su Su Mengyao pouted, feeling like a fool for hesitating earlier between Lin Miao and Zhi Xin.

"By the way, since you have the Rat Talisman, are Flowing Blade of Fire and Dragon-Slaying Sword also your manifestations?"

Other things aside—after all, Devil Fruits, Little Little Qilin, Longhong Sword, and Jia Dou Insect Device were all things she had seen with her own eyes and traded for across the multiverse.

Dragon-Slaying Sword was also seen firsthand, but perhaps Ye Xuan's Rat Talisman power was used on it back then?

And Flowing Blade of Fire—even Flame Dragon Armor.

The stone Ye Xuan bought back then only resembled a Fire Shadow Stone, but wasn't one; he used the Rat Talisman to manifest it, and only then could he transform.

In fact, at this moment, Light and Shadow Armor has not appeared in reality.

Is this possible?

Su Su Mengyao looked at Ye Xuan with some expectation; even without those two, Ye Xuan's luck was still so exaggerated it belonged to no normal person, and with the Rat Talisman, his luck was even more terrifying than before.

But at least, compared to Ye Xuan possessing both those treasures of the myriad heavens and the Rat Talisman, this was obviously easier for her to accept.

And the answer was naturally yes.

"No, they are all real; only they are the ones I manifested."

Ye Xuan looked at Su Su Mengyao's expectant gaze and said calmly; the "they" he referred to naturally meant Shu Fu Zhou and Angel Zhi Xin, whom Su Su Mengyao had seen.
