Chapter 790: Fragments

Xia Jie was puzzled as to why Su Hao attached such importance to Enhancement Stones. Even if this thing could subtly increase the potential and talent of the corresponding Pokémon, it was really only a little bit.

For example, the Salamencite in the Dragon Cave of the Dragon-taming Clan. Because there were quite a few Salamence in the Dragon Cave, the Dragon-taming Clan had collected a few Enhancement Stones corresponding to Salamence.

There were also the Sharpedonite in the hands of the Water People who had already perished, the Ampharosite in the hands of the Carlyle family of the United States Alliance, etc..................

However, after all, this was a request from the grand-disciple he favored, and at his age, only those old connections could be considered useful.

A little trouble, it's nothing..............

Xia Jie's mind instantly brought up the faces of several old friends who did related business or had channels.

They should have channels to acquire and seek Enhancement Stones in other alliances, and because they were individual channels, it wouldn't attract the attention of other alliances if Xia Jie didn't come forward himself.

The matter of the Enhancement Stones was settled for the time being. Under Xia Jie's guidance, Su Hao came to the deepest part of the treasure vault.

Xia Jie fumbled for a while, entered the multi-layer password no less than ten times, and finally took out an object wrapped in an unremarkable black cloth from a strict safe.

He held the object carefully, as if it were some rare treasure, and said to Su Hao: "This thing is a broken fragment of a slate."

Su Hao: "!!!!"

Keyword triggered. Su Hao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Jie with an incredible expression.

Xia Jie didn't notice his expression and continued on his own: "It was entrusted to me by a deceased old friend. The slate fragment contains a kind of unimaginably pure energy, which even Champions and Master-level Pokémon would covet. I'm afraid it is deeply connected to the legendary gods."

"Looks beautiful, doesn't it?"

Xia Jie's tone carried a hint of reminiscence and self-mockery, as if he had remembered something.

Su Hao didn't speak. He could see that Xia Jie didn't seem to want to delve too much into this.

Su Hao chose to lead the topic in another direction.

"Is there any defect in the slate fragment you mentioned?"

If it really was that thing, Su Hao remembered that this kind of artifact-level item should be all benefits.

"Defect, you say......." Xia Jie narrowed his eyes, as if thinking of something, his expression a bit strange, "If you count the fact that the energy contained within this slate fragment is so pure that even ordinary Pokémon find it difficult to utilize as a defect, then I suppose so?"

Subsequently, he took off the black cloth wrapping the "slate fragment".

A blue slate fragment that looked very irregularly broken appeared before Su Hao's eyes.

From the outline around it, it could be inferred that it should have been a complete rectangle.

However, this slate fragment was covered with fine cracks of varying depths.

Ancient patterns were carved on the slate fragment. Just by looking at it, one could feel that a lot of pure energy was flowing quietly within it.

【Splash Plate (Fragment): Contains the origin Water-type energy that constitutes this world, a manifestation of the authority of a certain supreme existence, broken for unknown reasons】

It really is....... Arceus's slate!!

Su Hao's mouth opened slightly, his eyes staring straight at the slate fragment in front of him, and Reshiram's voice sounded in his mind.

"That lord's slate is actually broken........ how is that possible!?"

Reshiram's voice contained obvious confusion and bewilderment.

In its impression, Arceus, as the existence that created the world, even if it had no direct connection to itself or the birth of the Dragon of Truth/Ideals.

But whether it was the three of them who split off, or the original Dragon of Truth/Ideals, they all respected the Creator God extremely.

As the existence that created the world, whether it was its world or this world of Su Hao, any life born in this world could never cause harm to Arceus.

Even the Void Shadow, the representative of negative energy, was the same.

The Void Shadow could only erode the world and

the living beings living on it, but it could not cause any harm to the Creator God who represented the origin and root of the world.

And as the embodiment of Arceus's power and authority, the Splash Plate fragment, one of the nineteen slates representing the origin of the world, appeared before Su Hao and Reshiram at this moment.

With nineteen slates on its body, Arceus could be immune to any attack of eighteen types, whether physical or special, so the slate was the embodiment of the world's origin.

Now, Reshiram's mood was like that of a devout Christian seeing the holy relic representing the Dove God broken—hard to bear.

Su Hao was okay.

Because in his impression, the alpaca's slates had had problems more than once.

And not long ago, the rewards of the three major trials also featured the Zap Plate fragment. He could barely accept the appearance of other slate fragments.

Plus, Arceus's three agents were still alive and kicking, giving him trial tasks, so Su Hao was more inclined to believe that Arceus had foreseen some situation, or was playing a big game, so it let the slate break.

After listening to Su Hao's speculation, Reshiram's shaken mood calmed down a little.

Su Hao was right. Arceus might have its own ideas or hidden hardships, and the Lake Guardians were still active, which meant Arceus should be fine.

Otherwise, those three divine sticks would have been the first to jump out and look for legends to help around the world.

"Take the slate first, my contractor."

After Reshiram finished this sentence, its consciousness hurriedly disconnected from Su Hao's Aura.

Su Hao knew very well that although it seemed not to care on the surface, there must have been a lot of urgency in Reshiram's heart, wanting to resurrect its body as soon as possible.

Whether it was Reshiram, who was a Legendary Pokémon, or himself now, and those "layouts" that could be seen everywhere, Su Hao was very curious about what the truth was and what roles he and Reshiram played in it.

"The energy contained in this slate fragment is Water-type energy, which is useless to an old man like me, so I'll leave it to you."

"Perhaps one day in the future, it can help improve the strength of the Pokémon in your team."

Xia Jie was completely unaware of the exchange between Su Hao and Reshiram, and handed the Splash Plate fragment to Su Hao solemnly with his wrinkled hands.
