Chapter 557: Sacrifice, Devour, Unity

"Whoa!"

Huo La couldn't help muttering aloud, and extreme terror instantly surged in his eyes.

Arceus's strike had already transcended the ordinary realm of move collisions and energy duels.

This is a power unique to the Creator God—a pure, primordial force of "Creation and Destruction."

All the legendary Divine Beasts that roam the heavens and earth present, even the deities who command Time and Space, rule sea and land, or govern life and death, are fundamentally creations born from the World Rules that Arceus established.

Their power, their laws, and their very existence are all rooted in Arceus's Creation Foundation.

As long as Arceus wills it, it is fully entitled and capable of personally erasing these Divine Beasts born of its own rules, utterly stripping them of existence and consigning them to void.

On the battlefield, the wounded Divine Beasts surged forward one after another, none retreating.

Groudon's lava walls crumbled inch by inch, its Primordial Form's Primordial Flame was forcibly extinguished by Divine Punishment Power, its massive body shuddered heavily, cracks spreading across its whole form;

Giratina's endless tsunami evaporated into thin air, the towering waters were completely drained, the ancient Sea God staggered backward in disgrace, its breath withered to the utmost.

Mewtwo Y pushed its form to the limit, a purple Psychic barrier wildly upheld, yet the aftershocks of Divine Punishment jolted it, sending it repeatedly flying backward; the dangling energy strands swayed violently, and its body constantly emitted scattering light specks.

Red, green, Bilan, and Paipa's party held the formation rigidly, barely sustaining the offense with Jewel Power, yet each one's complexion turned starkly pallid.

The battle was no longer a scorching duel, but a one‑sided crushing attrition.

Time ticked away second by second, and the once noisy, brutal battlefield gradually took on a solemn, deathly grandeur.

Countless legendary Pokémon that once roamed the lands collapsed one after another, exhausted and losing combat power; Ho‑Oh's divine fire faded, Lugia's storm dissipated; Unova Three Dragons and Kalos Three Legendary Beasts were all wounded and near death; Sakaki's Divine Beast Legion, amassed over countless years, was withering away at a visibly rapid pace.

The most despairing thing was the collapse of Time and Space itself.

Before Arceus's Creation Authority, the so‑called Time, Space, and Fanzhuan Shijie rules appeared exceedingly fragile.

Crack—!

A crisp, shattering crack suddenly rang across the heavens.

Before Huo La, the Origin‑evolved Dialga's body suddenly froze, its circulating Power of Time completely scrambled and dispersed.

Even though it wielded the Origin Forme and held the supreme law of Time, it was ultimately a deity born from the world Arceus created.

Under the Creator God's Destruction Authority, there were no exceptions.

Origin Dialga let out a deep, mournful sound, its massive body turning into countless light specks that completely dissolved between heaven and earth.

The Origin God who commands Time fell.

"Dialga!"

Huo La's pupils contracted sharply, his chest sank heavily, a fierce weakness spread through his limbs and bones, making his body sway and nearly collapse to the ground.

Sakaki stared intently at the aloof Arceus standing high in the sky, watching the Divine Beasts withering everywhere and the fallen Dialga, the last trace of restraint in his eyes shattering completely, unleashing extreme ruthlessness.

He never gambles with his life, never makes meaningless sacrifices, yet now he knows that if he continues to hold back his power, everyone will die and the whole world will be reduced to zero.

Without any hesitation, Sakaki roared in a deep voice, his tone resolutely extreme: "Since our current power cannot subdue it, we shall amplify our strength!"

As his words fell, Sakaki went all out!

His two still‑remaining Origin Time‑Space Gods, Dialga and Palkia, had their surrounding law‑light instantly contract rapidly.

The Space‑Time Power originally used to balance heaven and earth and counter Divine Punishment was no longer emitted at all; it was fully compressed and settled, crazily converging toward the core of their bodies.

"Huo La! Abandon your Palkia!"

Sakaki's eyes turned red, his voice piercing the roaring sky.

"I will make Kyurem devour all the Time‑Space origins on the field!"

Huo La shuddered, his face turning deathly pale, gritting his teeth as he growled low: "You've gone mad!"

"I'm not mad!"

Sakaki's near‑roaring voice echoed across the battlefield, bearing an all‑or‑nothing resolve.

"Can't you see? The current Time‑Space Dual Gods are merely puppets under the Creation Rules! Only Kyurem, who commands the Fanzhuan Shijie, is the true god!"

"Let it devour all present Time‑Space origins, opening the Antimatter World! With the annihilation power of Anti‑Matter, we might still have a single sliver of hope!"

Huo La's heart hammered, his teeth clenched tightly.

He knew that Sakaki was speaking the truth.

Seeing Huo La hesitate, Sakaki coldly added, each word a dagger: "Don't even think about it. Once the world is destroyed, neither Palkia nor we can survive. Rather than sit and await doom, we should bet everything!"

Those words fully awakened Huo La.

He inhaled deeply, suppressing all lingering sorrow and pain, his pupils suddenly narrowing, and he thundered in a deep voice: "Palkia!"

On the battlefield, Origin Palkia lifted its head and let out a long, resonant howl.

The old opponent, Origin Dialga, had already fallen; its fate had long been sealed.

Without resistance, without a scream, Origin Palkia completely released all restraints on its power, its surrounding strength fully retracting inward.

"Kyurem!"

At the battlefield's center, Origin Kyurem suddenly gaped its massive, black, ferocious maw, its huge Shadow body instantly teleported, appearing precisely behind Sakaki's twin Time‑Space Gods and Huo La's Origin Palkia.

An endless black Shadow Domain unfurled instantly, enveloping all three great Time‑Space Gods.

The next second, the terrifying Devouring Power erupted with a roar!

Sakaki's Dialga and Palkia, together with Huo La's remaining Origin Palkia, the primordial forces of the three Origin Time‑Space Gods, were all forcibly pulled, devoured, and absorbed by Kyurem!

Behind Kyurem, Antimatter Space slowly opened, countless shattered World Fragments surfaced, seemingly still echoing with mournful cries.
