Chapter 468: Ultra Necrozma's Arrival

It's not over yet.

Necrozma in its Dawn Wings form, its claws clutching a Z crystal, suddenly flared with a strong light again. The dazzling radiance burst outward from it, instantly covering the entire Ultra Megalopolis, illuminating the whole sky and earth.

A few seconds later, the sky‑full light suddenly contracted inward, gathering together.

A body of golden light completely enveloped Dawn Wings, its form transformed again, the four wings slowly flapped, and its aura changed dramatically.

"This…"

Lai Ke widened his eyes, his face showing disbelief as he stared at the scene before him.

In the distance, Paipa and Bilan, who were battling, also halted, and everyone's gaze fixed tightly on Necrozma.

"Ultra Necrozma…"

Huo La appeared beside Lai Ke at some point.

At this moment, Goulu Zhaobo was completely unconscious, being watched over by a Thunderball, utterly unable to move.

Lai Ke's voice trembled noticeably: "Is this the form you mentioned before that can save the metropolis?"

"Yes," Huo La nodded, his expression especially grave, "but what I said before was its perfectly controlled state. Now this is Zha'aobo's final mad counterattack; this Ultra Necrozma will not be under our control at all."

As if to confirm Huo La's words, in the next instant, an anomaly abruptly arose.

Ultra Necrozma gently fluttered its wings, several sharp laser beams rapidly coalesced between the feathers, exuding lethal intent.

"Danger! Move quickly!" Huo La instantly sensed the mortal threat and shouted.

At the same time, Palkia tore the space directly, whisking Huo La, Lai Ke and all the Pokemon away in an instant.

Just as they withdrew, the laser beam roared out.

The beam easily pierced the Ultra Megalopolis Tower. This core tower, which supports the entire Ultra Megalopolis's light source and sustains the whole space, exploded instantly, its structure shattering, slowly tilting and collapsing.

The whole Ultra Megalopolis fell into chaos at once, countless terrified screams of residents rose and fell, echoing throughout the space.

"Oh no!"

Lai Ke panicked completely, hurriedly shouting: "Kartana, Celesteela, block Ultra Necrozma quickly!"

The two Ultra Divine Beasts immediately surged forward at full speed, simultaneously unleashing two powerful energy attacks.

But the attacks struck the white light barrier surrounding Ultra Necrozma, not even a ripple was raised; they were instantly dissolved completely by layers of halos.

Before the two beasts could act again, Ultra Necrozma's wings quivered lightly, and two laser beams shot out instantly.

With a single strike, the fierce beam hit the target hard. Kartana and Celesteela were knocked flat onto the ground, their bodies drained of strength, completely losing combat ability.

"This…"

Lai Ke was completely stunned, a chill instantly cutting half his heart.

But the danger did not cease; two fresh laser beams reconvened, hurling straight toward Huo La and Lai Ke's positions, moving so fast that there was no time to react.

"Palkia, Spacial Rend!"

Huo La did not hesitate, immediately issuing a deep command.

Two sharp spatial blades tore through the air, precisely meeting the incoming laser beams.

The two terrifying forces collided violently in the sky, after a brief, scorching stalemate, they exploded, scattering energy turbulence across the heavens.

Seeing this with his own eyes, Lai Ke's eyes instantly lit with hope, and he hurriedly pleaded: "Huo La, save us, save our world!"

Huo La fell silent, his expression exceedingly grave.

Only he knew that the earlier standoff seemed evenly matched, but in fact Palkia had been at a disadvantage the whole time.

The brief stalemate was only possible thanks to Spacial Rend's spatial distortion property, forcibly shifting the laser's attack trajectory. A direct head‑on clash would not have withstood that terrifying force.

He had to admit, the Ultra Necrozma before them was the most terrifying, most intimidating presence Huo La had ever seen in his life. Even when facing two Arceus, he had never felt such suffocating pressure.

As his thoughts brushed past Arceus, a flash of insight sparked in Huo La's mind, the previously locked reasoning suddenly cleared, and a decisive breakthrough formed in his heart.

"Lai Ke."

Huo La suddenly spoke, breaking the dead silence.

"Hm?" Lai Ke snapped back to attention, immediately turning his head toward him, his eyes full of urgency and apprehension.

"Is the deal we made earlier still valid?" Huo La asked in a low voice.

Lai Ke's pupils widened sharply, staring intently at Huo La, his tone trembling with hope: "You still have a way, right? You must have a way to turn things around!"

Huo La gave no verbal confirmation, but asked again: "Tell me, can the deal be fulfilled?"

"Yes! Absolutely!" Lai Ke replied without hesitation, nodding forcefully, "As long as you can save this world, save the Ultra Megalopolis, the previous deal takes effect immediately. We will, in this life and beyond, forever guard this place, never leaving!"

"Alright."

Huo La gave a slight nod.

The moment the agreement was sealed, Huo La immediately issued a deep command: "Palkia, tear open space and send me before Necrozma!"

Palkia emitted a low rumble, as if urging him not to act rashly.

Huo La raised his hand and patted its back: "Don't worry, I won't be harmed. Besides, I have a purpose; then you will be free."

Palkia ultimately chose to obey, raising its hand and tearing a jet‑black Space Rift.

Huo La inhaled deeply, without any hesitation, leapt forward, and jumped straight into the space.

In an instant, his body hovered in midair before Ultra Necrozma, less than two meters away, facing the world‑shattering Ultra Divine Beast.

Ultra Necrozma stared coldly at the suddenly appearing Huo La, offering no extra hesitation; its wings fluttered lightly, and a sharp laser beam shot out instantly, aiming directly at Huo La's life.

Paipa and Bilan, who were watching from afar, were startled when Huo La suddenly teleported before the Divine Beast; before they could react, the lethal attack arrived, and both instantly let out shocked cries.

Lai Ke was even more completely bewildered, frozen in place, utterly not understanding why Huo La would take such a near‑suicidal action.

But just as the laser was about to hit him, a pure, dazzling white light suddenly erupted from within Huo La, instantly enveloping his entire being.

The incoming laser struck the white light, causing no ripple at all, and was completely absorbed and nullified without a trace.
