Chapter 538: War of the Gods

At the instant the ultimate, overwhelming power swept the arena, a sleek, domineering black dragon silhouette surged skyward from the Ancient Spirit Ball.

The earth‑shaking dragon roar exploded, piercing layer upon layer of rain and dark clouds, its might boundless.

The previously endless downpour that had been pouring like a bucket of water abruptly ceased at that moment, and even the howling gale completely calmed.

The jet‑black dragon body hovered high in the sky, its scale armor fierce, its texture austere, golden filigree patterns covering its whole form, flashing dazzling light under the dim heavens, both sacred and ferocious.

"Black… Black Rayquaza!"

On the battlefield, the four Chi Yan Song and Shui Wu Tong from different worlds narrowed their pupils in unison, their faces shedding all mockery and contempt in an instant, replaced by an incredulous embarrassment and solemnity.

In the distant safe zone, Bilan, Paipa and Xiaoyin, who had just settled a group of civilians, were completely stunned, staring blankly at the sky‑dominating black dragon silhouette, unable to recover for a long while.

Xiaoyin's face was full of shock, unable to help but whisper softly, "Is this Huo La's real confidence? How many Divine Beast‑level trump cards does he still have hidden?"

Paipa shook his head slowly, eyes full of bewilderment, "I have no idea; I always thought his final reliance was the extremely risky Naclozma, never expecting he also hides a being of this caliber."

Instinctively he lifted his hand to touch the Pokeball at his lower back; inside was Terapagos, and he suddenly realized, "No wonder I offered to lend him Terapagos before; he outright refused. Turns out he didn't need it at all."

Bilan quickly suppressed his shock, regained composure and warned in a deep voice, "Don't get distracted. With Huo La holding the front, we have only one task. Evacuate all civilians as soon as possible; the Divine Beasts appearing now are increasing, and the battle's aftereffects will only become more terrifying, the affected area will completely spiral out of control."

On the other side at the battlefield's center, the situation had already completely changed.

The regular Groudon and Kyogre were tense all over, their limbs trembling slightly, instinctively generating extreme unease and fear, subconsciously stepping back.

Even the Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, whose Primordial Forms have unlocked power surpassing ordinary Divine Beasts, moved sluggishly at this moment.

As Super Ancient Divine Beasts native to Hoenn, the instinct etched deep in their blood makes them dread the sky‑ruling, balancing Rayquaza, let alone this Shiny Black Rayquaza whose aura far exceeds the ordinary.

Huo La looked up at the black giant dragon perched high, shouting, "Rayquaza, since you chose to act, you won't get away with it for nothing!"

As his words fell, he immediately opened his backpack, took out a fully sealed, precisely crafted Special Storage Device, and hurled it with full force toward the black Rayquaza in the sky.

With a soft hum, the device burst open in midair, releasing a translucent, glossy Triangular Organ that floated slowly in the air.

This is the Original Triangular Organ left by the Rayquaza that fell in the Hisui Region years ago, tightly sealed by the Galactic Team; after the Shen'ao Region was taken over by the League, it ended up in Huo La's hands.

With Chairman Lozi's cutting‑edge technology, the Triangular Organ was compressed so Huo La could carry it on his person.

High above, the black Rayquaza lowered its gaze, its deep dragon eyes fixing on Huo La without hesitation; the massive dragon head dipped, opened its mouth precisely to bite the floating Triangular Organ, swallowing it whole.

Rayquaza's Super Evolution never requires a Mega Stone or Bond Bracelet; it can transform solely using the Cosmic Energy stored in its own Triangular Organ.

Huo La doesn't know how much Cosmic Energy this black Rayquaza has amassed, but he is certain that this complete Original Triangular Organ will definitely boost its power to new heights.

Sure enough, the moment it devoured the Triangular Organ, an intensely rich Cosmic Energy instantly swept over the black Rayquaza's entire body.

Blazing light spread in layers, completely enveloping the jet‑black dragon body; the light flowed and shifted, containing boundless, overwhelming power.

When the light faded, the black Rayquaza's form had fully transformed; two long, sharp golden whiskers sprouted from its lower jaw, wildly dancing in the wind, its golden filigree becoming even more dazzling.

A terrifying pressure, several times more violent and heavier than before, suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire Hoenn Sea, the heavens and earth shaking violently, as if the whole world itself were about to be crushed by this force.

Super Black Rayquaza!

Super Black Rayquaza made no superfluous move; its golden filigree lit up instantly, boosted by lightning‑fast precision, and its form instantly pierced the sky!

The jet‑black dragon body turned into an ultimate black afterimage, tearing the dim heavens, bearing a terrifying force that pierced sky and earth, diving straight to crash into Primal Groudon.

Boom—!

A thunderous roar that shook the four seas burst forth.

The Primal Groudon, whose body was once molten lava and whose might was overwhelming, had no time to react defensively; its massive form was brutally driven into the sea by the impact.

A massive surge of seawater instantly vaporized under the terrifying heat wave, rolling white fog shot skyward, and thick smoke completely enveloped the sea, fully burying Primal Groudon's figure.

Everyone in the arena didn't even have time to blink or react to the shift; beneath the sea, a black shadow flashed, and Super Black Rayquaza burst out of the water, standing tall suspended in midair.

Its dragon mouth gaped, condensing a highly pure Destruction Beam; the brilliant ray tore through layers of rain and mist, precisely striking the Primal Kyogre still hovering high.

Bang!

The raging energy exploded, the towering water pressure instantly collapsed, Primal Kyogre absorbed the full force of the blow, its massive body shuddered violently, and it was forcefully pushed back thousands of meters, leaving a huge water trail on the sea surface.

"We can't let him continue like this unchecked!"

Above the ruins, the eyeglass‑less other‑worldly Chi Yan Song's complexion darkened completely, his deep voice low and urgent, finally unable to sit still.

But as soon as his words fell, the front battlefield's situation had already become completely locked.

Zekrom and Palkia coordinated seamlessly, their Space‑Time Power interweaving in layers to seal the arena, tightly entangling the regular Groudon and Kyogre, leaving no room to breathe.

Nearby, Super Ancient Dragonite's Thunder Light rained across the sky, continuously suppressing the opponent's attacks, locking the output space of the two Super Ancient Divine Beasts.

At the same time, Origin Giratina, bearing the ultimate pressure of the Fanzhuan Shijie, surged forward, charging straight at the wounded, retreating Primal Kyogre, forcefully taking over the battlefield!

In an instant, the true War of the Gods fully ignited.

The carnage and terror of this battle far surpassed any conflict Hoenn has seen in the past four years.

The coastal town, already half‑ruined and turned to ruins, could not withstand the aftershocks of the gods' clash; the remaining structures collapsed with a thunderous crash, shattering into dust.

The entire combat sea, under the insane collision of the five ultimate forces—time, space, lava, ocean, and sky—continually twisted, reshaped, and collapsed.

Scalding seawater vaporized over a vast area, the exposed seabed rock layers constantly rose and lifted, forming new land that could be instantly crushed and erased by the chaotic Space‑Time Power a second later.

Water and fire roiled, space‑time shattered, heaven and earth trembled incessantly.

The whole battlefield turned into a scarred, law‑breaking apocalyptic nightmare, every inch of air saturated with a terrifying force capable of tearing everything apart.
