Chapter 525: Eternatus! Burst!

Luo Zi took out a few small Portable Dynamax Energy Tanks and handed them to Huo La: "Take these; these are the only Portable Dynamax Energy Tanks I have left in my hand."

"As for the Dynamax core technology you want, I can't give it to you yet. When the future truly becomes the ideal shape we envision, I will voluntarily hand the entire set of technology over to the League."

Huo La reached out and took the energy tank.

At this moment, he was completely different from how he was two hours ago when he first entered the lab.

His whole being exuded an unmistakable fatigue and world‑weariness; his once jet‑black, smooth hair had become dry and frizzy, making it clear that traversing Time and Space had taken a huge toll.

"I believe that day will certainly come," Huo La said softly.

Luo Zi smiled, his expression unusually complex, half anticipation for a bright future, half heavy worry.

For a full two hours just now, Huo La had shown him several completely different futures with his own eyes.

Among them were the stable future they imagined, where the whole world's resources are coordinated to completely solve Galar's energy crisis; and also a doomsday future where Arceus intervenes and the entire world collapses and is destroyed.

Huo La briefly explained Arceus's reasons for wanting to destroy the world, deliberately concealing Ma Shu Mu's existence and not revealing the whole picture.

Upon learning this earth‑shattering truth, Luo Zi was hugely shocked, nearly having his mindset explode and his emotions spiral out of control.

If Creator God Arceus truly intends to erase this world, then the years he spent painstakingly studying Eternatus's skeleton and desperately preparing the energy project are utterly worthless before a deity's absolute power.

In plain terms, all his efforts are just a joke.

Fortunately, he finally used Sheer Force to steady his mind.

Huo La explained clearly that all the scenes they saw were merely one possible future, not a predetermined outcome, and he has been giving his all to prevent the apocalyptic future from becoming real.

"Aimeijiao, really can't give it to Spinel?" Huo La asked again, pressing the question.

Luo Zi was slightly startled, then shook his head with unwavering resolve: "I was the one who caused Jibeiweng's death; Aimeijiao was never the mastermind, so his culpability is minor."

"When everything finally concludes, I'm willing to face the League's judgment; even the accountability of Spinel and the Explorer Team, I'll take on as well."

Huo La took a deep breath and said no more.

This trip to Galar has already achieved his core purpose; Aimeijiao's matter is no longer pressing for the current situation.

Just as Huo La was about to speak his farewell—

Boom—!

A deafening, earth‑shaking blast erupted from afar, billowing thick smoke skyward, accompanied by a low, heavy roar that seemed like a slumbering eternity finally waking, sweeping all directions.

"Bad! It's coming from the direction of the Nengyuan Gongchang!"

Luo Zi's complexion darkened instantly, his tone became urgent, his face full of gravity.

Huo La's heart tightened sharply, and he blurted out, "Could it be Eternatus?!"

As if to confirm his suspicion, amid the swirling smoke a massive terrifying silhouette slowly materialized.

It was an extremely ferocious dragon‑shaped Pokemon, its body composed entirely of Red energy, its outer layer covered with deep‑purple bony armor, its overall outline resembling a gigantic dragon bone, exuding Intimidation that covered the sky.

Its triangular skull was a semi‑transparent Red membrane, with five spines extending backward from the crown; its face lacked true eyes, having only three pairs of white circular markings in place of pupils, paired with a deep‑purple slender jaw, giving it a grim and terrifying look.

The body and tailbone were slender and elongated, the entire spine studded with sharp violet‑black bone spikes, each linking to the next, displaying ferocity.

The limbs bore slender, sharp claws, three pairs of claw tips glinting coldly, radiating tremendous destructive power.

In the middle of its torso rose a chest‑bone cavity, within which a blazing pink core pulsed; this was its energy source, also the root that Eternatus constantly plunders and devours external energy to sustain itself.

From its back extended several slender, curved tentacles, assembled from triangular purple plates, and as its body writhed slowly, the energy of the entire world rushed madly toward it.

The long‑dormant Eternatus has manifested.

Standing on the back of the Space‑Time Trio, Huo La turned his head and asked gravely, "Chairman Luo Zi, why did Eternatus suddenly break its seal and appear?"

Luo Zi shook his head repeatedly, his expression full of puzzlement and gravity: "I don't know the reason either."

I have been building a Nengyuan Gongchang underground beneath the Quanguan Jingjichang, dedicated to producing Dynamax energy to supply the arenas of various towns, maintaining Dynamax operations throughout Galar.

All along, Eternatus has remained in a stable sealed state; even I have never dared to unseal it lightly. Even in related research, I only dared to take a small piece of its skeletal sample, handling it with utmost caution.

Huo La's expression darkened, and he continued to ask, "Regarding the fact that Eternatus is sealed underground beneath Quanguan, do any others know about it?"

"Aside from my Secretary Olivia, I don't think anyone else is aware," Luo Zi said firmly, then added with absolute certainty, "but she could never betray me."

Huo La's eyebrows knit tightly.

At that moment, Bilan suddenly let out an astonished shout, "Look! Someone's there!"

The crowd immediately looked in the direction she indicated and saw, inside the lower Quanguan Jingjichang, a thin human silhouette standing quietly before the awakened Eternatus, strikingly conspicuous.

The distinctive black‑and‑white hair made the identity instantly recognizable— it was Aimeijiao!

Sensing the movement above, Aimeijiao slowly turned his head, his gaze landing on Huo La and Luo Zi on the back of the Space‑Time Trio, his eyes icy and bone‑cold, devoid of any warmth.

"Space‑Time Trio, Huo La, Luo Zi," he said lightly, his tone indifferent.

Luo Zi, seeing the newcomer, felt his anger surge instantly and shouted, "Aimeijiao! How could it be you!"

"Why can't it be me?" Aimeijiao's mouth curled into a cold smile.

"How do you know this place?!" Luo Zi's face was full of astonishment.

"Is it hard to uncover the secrets here?" Aimeijiao flicked a strand of hair from his forehead, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "Do you really think every time you sneak in to investigate and conduct research you do it flawlessly, unnoticed?"
