Chapter 372: Conversation!

"Everyone's gone out, say what you have to say directly," Huo La pulled a chair over and sat straight across from Wang Luo.

His gaze was as calm as a deep pool, his demeanor far beyond his years, exuding a world‑weariness and sharpness that did not match his age.

Wang Luo stared at him tightly for a long while, then let out a soft sigh: "I truly don't know what kind of heart lies beneath that youthful flesh of yours."

Huo La gave no reply, merely said lightly: "If you have business, speak it; don't waste time."

"Sigh," Wang Luo shook his head, "Very well, the situation is urgent, I won't beat around the bush."

He lifted his eyes to Huo La, his tone calm to the point of being eerie: "I'm not from this world; you should have noticed that long ago, right?"

Huo La was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly: "I've had my guesses."

Wang Luo brushed the hair from his forehead casually, his voice a little low: "It seems those guys have already acted in the future."

Huo La's gaze suddenly grew heavy, his hands clasped in front of him, fingertips trembling slightly.

"The world I come from is also called Hisui, but it's not the one before you—it's Hisui in another time‑space," Wang Luo's voice softened, carrying a hint of distant reminiscence, "In that world, not to mention the Time‑Space Dual Gods, even the Kira Din within the Space‑time Rift has long been in my grasp."

He paused, his tone bearing an unmistakable arrogance: "In other words, I am the king of that Hisui."

But that arrogance quickly faded, replaced by a sigh of melancholy.

"Until one day, an unknown Pokemon suddenly appeared, forcefully pulling me into a strange space. There were several other people there. That Pokemon told us it would send us to an entirely new world to do a few things for it."

"It announced its plan on its own; how could we possibly obey so readily? Moreover, the instant it showed its true form, everyone's first thought was to capture it."

Wang Luo laughed self‑deprecatingly: "Unfortunately, we were still too arrogant."

"After that, we were forced to accept its arrangement. Except for me, everyone else was sent to the future; I alone was thrown into the present Hisui."

"At first, I just felt baffled. Even if this isn't the Hisui I originally came from, this is still Hisui, and everything to me is just walking again through a past I already know."

"I asked that Pokemon what I was meant to do in this world. It only told me to wait. I waited day after day until the day you fell from the Space‑time Rift, and later you were tasked by it to begin searching for the Stone Tablet. That's when I understood you were the person I was waiting for. Yet even now I still don't know what it actually wants me to do."

"It..." Huo La lowered his eyes, his voice deep, "The Pokemon you mentioned is Arceus."

Wang Luo shrugged indifferently: "Besides it, who else has such ability to gather us together and send us to different time‑spaces?"

Huo La fell into silence.

He knew in his heart that Wang Luo was most likely not lying.

According to the other's account, in his world Wang Luo had already ascended to become king, commanding the Time‑Space Dual Gods and the Kira Din.

The only one capable of easily crushing such power is the Creator God Arceus.

As for the "others" Wang Luo mentioned... Huo La's heart sank; they were most likely the leaders of evil organizations who had reached the pinnacle in their respective worldlines.

The Sakaki who previously pulled him into another world and controlled Necrozma was obviously one of them.

"So, everything you did was at Arceus's behest?"

"No." Wang Luo shook his head lightly, "I just said it only told me to wait. Everything you've gone through in Hisui was bound to happen. In my world, I was the one who resolved the Kira Din crisis, only... I defeated it directly."

"And what you encountered... were merely tasks it gave you."

"Specifically what it wants to do... sorry, I don't know either," Wang Luo spread his hands, his tone unusually tinged with genuine bewilderment, "The reason I insisted on meeting you alone, in the end, was to ask whether you have any clue."

Huo La remained silent, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the Adamant Orb in his hand, his mind rapidly replaying everything that had happened since he arrived in this world.

At that moment, Deoxys's voice sounded in his mind, carrying a rare hint of confusion and gravity, its tone full of incomprehension: "Arceus... what exactly does it want? What is its purpose?"

Huo La gave no inner reply to Deoxys, but lifted his gaze to Wang Luo, his eyes once again becoming steady and sharp, his tone heavy as he spoke, steering the conversation back to the immediate crisis: "Putting Arceus's purpose aside, the most urgent matter now is how to resolve the Time‑Space Dual Gods' clash. If this continues, the entire Hisui will be destroyed."

Wang Luo, hearing this, raised his hand and pointed at the Adamant Orb on the table before Huo La, his tone confident: "Rely on it."

"Although the Time‑Space Dual Gods will awaken, which indeed ties to me leading the Three Bandit Sisters to the shrine, I didn't anticipate that the Time‑Space Dual Gods of this world are far stronger than the two I originally captured — their power has already surpassed my expectations."

"As for the Kira Din... it was actually the one I captured back then. I just can't understand why it would return to the Antimatter World again."

He paused, then his tone shifted, his gaze moving from bewilderment to certainty, and he said slowly: "But... since it's it, there's a way. I know its strength; it's sufficiently powerful, and you now have a way to approach the world it resides in. As for capturing it... you should already have obtained the Origin Ball, right?"
