Chapter 514: Ming Wang

I didn't pay attention when I posted, and now I can't change it; when I try to copy it over, it says there's already a duplicate.

I also can't find any edit options; it's really annoying.

I can only trouble the companions who can see this to turn around on their own.

———

"Your goal must be to destroy that Sealing Device, right?"

Chi Hong's heart tightened, realizing he had been exposed and there was no need to hide any longer. He immediately took out a Pokeball, ready to fight at any moment.

But the anticipated obstruction never came.

Ming Wang gently waved his hand, stepped aside to open half a passage, and seemed not to want to make a move at all.

"Don't be nervous; I'm not here to stop you."

Chi Hong froze for a moment, still clutching the Pokeball, his eyes full of vigilance.

He couldn't at all understand what Ming Wang intended. The other party had clearly been guarding here for a long time, yet he let him wander all the way to the server room; it was utterly abnormal.

Seeing Chi Hong's guard, Ming Wang didn't beat around the bush and said plainly, "My purpose and Chi Ri's were different from the start. The fact that you could infiltrate so smoothly and force Sui Xing to find this place was because I deliberately gave you a leeway."

As the words fell, a black Rotom Phone flew out from behind him, gently hovering in the air.

Chi Hong's pupils narrowed slightly, and he instantly understood everything.

The Galaxy Team's devices can seal even the ancient Pokeball from Hisui, so they could not have missed the Rotom Phone.

Earlier Huo La could secretly contact himself via Rotom, which was not Chi Ri's oversight but a loophole deliberately left by Ming Wang.

From start to finish, it was all tacitly approved by him.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Chi Hong didn't retrieve the ball; his vigilance remained, but his tone had softened considerably.

Ming Wang pushed up his glasses, his expression flat, and slowly voiced his thoughts.

"What Chi Ri and I want has been different from the very beginning."

"His mind is filled with seizing the Power of the Space-Time Trio to recreate a New World belonging to him."

"I don't care whether he succeeded in other worlds, but in this world, relying only on himself and those few remaining Temporal Projection deities to overturn the entire world and reshape everything is pure fantasy."

"Chi Ri is too obsessed with his own ideal and doesn't consider reality at all."

"Sheer Force seizure of the Divine Beast and overturning the world, offending countless forces and strongmen, he doesn't care at all."

"Even if he really snatched the Space-Time Trio from Huo La's hands, completing his power and fully mastering Time and Space, what would that achieve?"

"By then, the League and all forces in each region would unite against the Galaxy Team."

"Before his so‑called New World is even born, the Galaxy Team will already be completely erased by the whole world."

Chi Hong remained silent, carefully pondering Ming Wang's words.

Objectively speaking, the other's analysis was watertight and entirely reasonable.

Chi Ri's insistence on forcibly taking the Space-Time Trio and reshaping the world seemed grandly ambitious, but in fact it placed the entire Galaxy Team opposite the whole world, a self‑destructive move.

Seeing this, Ming Wang continued slowly, "I don't have ambitions as big as Chi Ri's; I don't care how the world ultimately turns out. I joined the Galaxy Team solely to conduct my research peacefully from start to finish; I stay out of all other conflicts and obsessions."

"Therefore, for me, the most important thing now is to stop Chi Ri's reckless actions, preserve the Galaxy Team, and safeguard my stable research environment."

Chi Hong looked up at him, his tone still bearing obvious doubt: "Why should I trust you?"

He raised his hand and pointed to a spot deep within the server room, calmly reminding, "Just go ahead and do what you want. Let me give you a heads‑up: there are two Sealing Devices inside; I've already disabled the ordinary one. The one you intend to destroy is wrapped in a thick Temporal Energy Field, and ordinary attacks can't break through it at all."

"To crack it, you must use sufficiently overwhelming force to tear it apart in a single Sheer Force strike. If the first blow fails to break the barrier and triggers an energy fluctuation, Chi Ri will notice instantly, and then you'll have no chance at all."

Having conveyed all the information, Ming Wang said no more, folded his arms, his expression leisurely, and turned slowly to walk out of the passage, completely abandoning any intention to block.

Chi Hong quietly watched his departing back, still tense and silent, with not a hint of relaxation in his heart.

He wasn't sure whether Ming Wang was genuinely defecting or deliberately setting a trap for him to fall into.

But the current situation left no way back.

Chi Hong quickly cleared his scattered thoughts and shook his head decisively.

Regardless of whether Ming Wang's purpose is true or false, destroying the Sealing Device and rescuing Huo La and the other two is the only thing he must accomplish.

He lifted his foot and marched straight toward the confidential server room ahead.

Chi Hong reached out and pushed open the server room door.

As soon as the door opened, a strange Temporal Pressure surged forward, tightening everyone's spirit involuntarily.

Chi Hong steadied his mind and looked up into the interior of the server room.

Inside, two Pokeball Sealing Devices were neatly arranged.

One of them was old‑styled, its casing riddled with rust, exuding an era‑old feel, clearly an Ancient Device from the Hisui Era that had been retrofitted with Dr. Laventon's technology.

The other had a brand‑new appearance and precise structure, a New-style Device independently developed later by the Galaxy Team.

Chi Hong walked slowly around the Energy Field, observing carefully, confirming there was no safe way to deactivate it.

He didn't understand the exact principle of this barrier, nor did he have extra time to slowly probe and crack it.

At this point, he could only choose to trust Ming Wang's warning—only ultimate power could break the deadlock in a single strike.

Chi Hong no longer hesitated, raised his hand, and threw the Pokeball.

"Come out, Charizard!"

A flash of fire lit up, and Charizard landed steadily, its imposing body standing in the server room.

At the same time, Chi Hong fully confirmed that the ordinary New-style Sealing Device had become completely ineffective.

Sure enough, just as Ming Wang had covertly arranged, all restrictions on modern Pokeballs were lifted, except this Ancient Device with its built‑in Temporal Barrier, which still remained operational.

"Charizard, Mega Evolution! X Form!"

A dazzling evolution light burst suddenly, bright white light flooding the entire server room.

In an instant, the transformation completed, and a black‑patterned MEGA‑X Charizard appeared, its aura both ferocious and steady, terrifying Fire-type power continuously building.

His Red gaze hardened, he retained no power, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Fire Dragon, go all out! Ultimate Impact!"

The overwhelming power instantly converged, MEGA Fire Dragon unfurled its wings, bearing a crushing, ultimate surge, and rushed straight toward the Temporal Energy Field ahead.
