Chapter 496: Six Gods Duel

Di Ya Lu Ka and Paru Qiya hovered steadily in midair, the terrifying power that controls Time and Space fully unfurled, and the standoff between heaven and earth instantly reached its peak.

On one side stood the Space-Time Trio, who govern Time, Space and Anti-Matter; on the other side were the Kalos Three Gods, who wield Life, Destruction and Order.

Six top‑tier legendary Divine Beasts faced each other across the void, and six completely opposite Origin Sources pressed, charged, and tore at one another.

The air was so oppressive it stole one's breath, and a raging wind carrying shards of stone swept across Shixiang Town, making the whole world feel like the end of days.

Lysandre's face turned completely cold.

In the high air on the left, Xiaoyin's eyes hardened, and he shouted loudly, "Di Ya Lu Ka, Time Roar!"

In the airspace on the right, space fissures around Paru Qiya spread endlessly, warping the entire world.

"Paru Qiya, Spacial Rend!" Paipa immediately ordered.

In the central airspace, Qila Dina was surrounded by swirling black Anti-Matter fog, his Bilan eyes steady, and he shouted, "Qila Dina, Shadow Force!"

Facing the crushing onslaught of the three Space-Time Divine Beasts, Lysandre showed no fear, raised his hand, and issued a command in a fierce voice.

"Xerneas, Geomancy!"

Xerneas raised its horns high, instantly draining the Life Energy of the entire land, and the massive surge of vitality coalesced into form.

"Ifeltar, Death Wing!"

The Destruction God spread its massive wings, its body enshrouded in a death aura that devoured everything, and its black wings swept across the sky.

"Zygarde, Core Enforcer!"

The Order God fully activated every cell of its body, preparing to reorganize all chaos in the world!

In the next instant, the ultimate attacks of the Six Divine Beasts collided violently above Shixiang Town!

There was no pulling, no probing—only a single moment of extreme explosion.

Boom—!!!

A deafening blast rang through all of Kalos, blinding divine light enveloped the world, making it impossible to look directly.

The six top‑tier powers annihilated, countered, and erupted against each other, forming a gigantic energy mushroom cloud that covered the entire town. The raging shockwave surged like an apocalyptic tsunami, sweeping wildly in all directions.

The houses, streets, trees, and rocks on the ground were instantly flattened.

The earth cracked layer by layer, collapsed, and the whole surface was violently overturned. Bricks, soil, and wood chips were all torn apart and vaporized by the terrifying energy.

In just a few breaths of time, the once‑intact Shixiang Town completely collapsed and rotted, turning into a massive wasteland of scars, with no trace of its former appearance.

The gale subsided, and the smoke and dust settled slowly.

In the exact center of the ruin, a single building stood untouched, unmoving.

That was the Final Weapon, buried deep underground, now partially revealed.

The earth‑shaking roar outside pierced the massive rock layers, traveling all the way into the tower.

The entire ancient tower shook violently, rock walls shedding dust continuously, the ancient wall lamps on both sides swung wildly, and light and shadow danced chaotically in the long corridor. Even with the thick earth and tower between them, Huo La and AZ could clearly feel the terrifying impact outside, powerful enough to destroy a city.

No need to think further; both knew exactly how the battle outside had turned.

Continuous explosions rattled the ground, the entire underground shaking; each tremor indicated that the situation outside grew even more perilous.

AZ's steps faltered slightly, and he looked up at the heavy rock ceiling above, his expression solemn.

Huo La's heart tightened as well, his ears filled with rumbling sounds like the world collapsing.

But neither of them stopped moving, nor did they think of going out to help.

Both knew clearly that the most critical, most unforgivable point now was never the battle outside, but the two of them inside the tower.

The twenty‑minute warm‑up period was extremely tight; if missed, the Final Weapon would activate fully, beginning to ravenously absorb Life Energy from the world. Then everyone's resistance would be futile, and all of Kalos would face annihilation.

Going out now would mean total defeat, rendering all prior efforts wasted.

"Don't get distracted," AZ said gravely, "Trust them. Let them hold the line outside; all we have to do is seize the time to complete our mission."

"I understand."

Huo La suppressed his worries and agitation, cleared his mind completely, and his gaze became unwaveringly resolute again.

Going out now would not only be useless, it would hinder us.

Steadily advancing, activating the mechanism, and banishing the Final Weapon is the best support for comrades and the only way to break the deadlock.

The two ignored the chaotic world outside, disregarded the tower's shaking and falling dust, and stepped briskly down the cold ancient stone steps toward the deepest part of the underground.

In the deep, long tower passage, only the two's steady footsteps echoed continuously.

The rock walls on both sides were etched with millennial ancient patterns, marks left when the Final Weapon was built, silent for a thousand years, bearing witness to countless conflicts and dormant threats.

The deeper they went, the colder and more oppressive the air became, and a faint Forbidden Energy grew denser, pressing so hard one could barely breathe.

Outside, war raged and towns were destroyed, yet this ancient tower, buried deep underground, remained incredibly stable.

After an unknown amount of time, the pitch‑black passage finally reached its end.

A massive dark‑silver metal ancient gate stood silently before them, its surface covered with intricate spiral patterns that faintly glowed, exuding an ancient and mysterious Forbidden aura.

This was the core control room of the Final Weapon.

AZ stepped forward, his fingertips lightly brushing the cold metal patterns, gazing at the millennial relic, his tone both nostalgic and solemn: "We've arrived. I never imagined that, after millennia, I would return here."

As his words faded, the massive metal doors, accompanied by a low mechanical rumble, slowly opened to both sides.

Beyond the doors lay an extremely spacious underground great hall.

In the hall's center floated a luminous, pearly core device, its surface emitting a gentle Life micro‑glow. Countless fine energy conduits extended from the core, plunging deep into the earth, linking every part of the Final Weapon.

This was the main control switch that governed the entire Forbidden Weapon.

Huo La stared intently at the central core, took a deep breath, and glanced at AZ.

AZ understood, and slowly nodded, "Go then, we don't have much time."
