Chapter 463: You May Not Be Able, But That Doesn

"Hehe…" Zha'aobo, who had been silently standing aside, suddenly sneered and opened to break the two, "Although I don't know why this place has turned into this ghostly state, one thing I know—if Nekrozma truly could restore this place, you wouldn't need to make a deal with anyone."

Lai Ke let out a soft sigh; this guy who looks exactly like Goulu Zhaobo is equally sharp‑witted and instantly pinpointed the crux of the problem.

Back then, after Nekrozma devoured the light of the Ultimate Megalopolis, they immediately clashed with Nekrozma, and only by exhausting all their strength did they seal it inside Metropolis Tower.

Over all these years, they have tried countless methods to release the devoured light from Nekrozma's body, but each attempt ended in failure.

Precisely because of that, when Goulu Zhaobo originally proposed a deal, they gritted their teeth to release Nekrozma, betting on this gamble.

Huo La glanced at Zha'aobo, his tone carrying some confidence: "Your inability doesn't mean I can't. Standing behind me is Arceus; since it chose me, I must have a solution."

When he mentioned the name Arceus, Huo La deliberately swept his gaze toward Goulu Zhaobo, his eyes bearing a hint of warning.

Goulu Zhaobo furrowed his brows tightly, his complexion darkened, hands clasped behind his back, seemingly plotting something, and remained silent for a long while.

On the other side, Lai Ke heard the name Arceus again and showed a trace of helplessness on his face.

If someone else had said that, he wouldn't have cared, but after Huo La said it and considering Goulu Zhaobo's earlier words, his heart wavered a bit, willing to listen further.

He lifted his chin and said to Huo La, "You keep talking, I'm listening."

"Hm? So does that mean I now have the right to make a deal with you?" Huo La raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of certainty, and asked.

Lai Ke nodded lightly, his gaze still cautious, "Exactly, but you must spell out the concrete plan clearly, then I'll agree."

Huo La, hearing that, smiled and spread his hands, his tone relaxed yet full of confidence: "Nekrozma can't return the light to you now; simply put, it's not strong enough to do that."

"Hehe, what more strength does it need?" Zha'aobo beside him couldn't help but sneer, his tone full of mockery, clearly not believing Huo La.

"Very simple, have it devour Suo Er Jia Lei Ou, or Lunala," Huo La said flatly, then turned his gaze with a hint of doubt toward Zha'aobo, "Come to think of it, you were pursuing Lillie and Little Nebula before, wasn't that for this purpose?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Zha'aobo was instantly stunned, his mocking expression froze, and then he abruptly turned his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the nearby Goulu Zhaobo, full of accusation.

Huo La saw the stance, instantly grasped the implication, a mocking smile curling his lips, and added, "Looks like some people haven't told you everything."

Goulu Zhaobo's complexion darkened slightly, his lips moved, but he said nothing, remaining silently hanging at his side.

Huo La stopped teasing and continued, "If Nekrozma devours Suo Er Jia Lei Ou or Lunala, it will evolve into Solar Eclipse Form or Lunar Eclipse Form—those forms are far more powerful than its current state."

"So what then?" Goulu Zhaobo finally spoke, "Even if it evolves into that form, it still can't solve the Ultimate Megalopolis's light problem."

"Hehe, that form is indeed lacking something, but what if we let it evolve further?" Huo La's mouth curled with a smile, his tone full of conviction.

As soon as those words left his mouth, Goulu Zhaobo's complexion changed instantly, his previous composure vanished, and his tone became sharp and urgent: "Nekrozma, mental force!"

The sudden attack came without warning; the entire area beneath Ultra Megalopolis Tower was instantly shrouded by a terrifying Gravity pressure, the force so great it left people breathless, and Huo La, Lai Ke and the others were staggered, their bodies unsteady.

"Zha'aobo! What are you doing!" Lai Ke shouted, both shocked and angry, his voice harsh, the fury in his eyes nearly bursting forth.

Goulu Zhaobo suddenly straightened his previously hunched frame, a faint aura surrounding him, Nekrozma's silhouette gradually became transparent, slowly merging into his body.

He glanced at Lai Ke, his tone full of impatience, "Sigh, I originally wanted to make a proper deal with you, but you insisted on listening to this little brat's nonsense. Now, I have no patience for your chatter."

As soon as his words ended, he raised his hand and tossed two Ultra Spheres; Bang—Bang—two light sounds rang, and two figures instantly materialized.

A massive, ferocious Evil Eating King, and a spiky, fierce Four-jaw Needle Dragon stood steadily beside him.

Lai Ke stared at the scene, then glanced at the Goulu Zhaobo whose body was largely covered by Nekrozma's energy, his gaze locked onto him, his tone filled with disbelief and anger, "So what Huo La just said is all true!"

Goulu Zhaobo leisurely pulled a crystal stone emitting an eerie glow from his pocket, a cunning, mad smile curling his lips, "Of course it's true. However, letting Nekrozma evolve was originally a plan I kept for myself—to boost its power so I could fully dominate that world."

"From the start, you never intended to honestly trade with us!" Lai Ke clenched his fist, his aura growing colder, and Celesteela behind him also readied for battle.

"That can't be said either." Goulu Zhaobo waved his hand, his tone flippant and arrogant, "Providing you a place to reside is nothing to me, but on the condition that you obey."

He paused, his gaze turning sinister, "But it's a pity you disobey and still try to thwart me. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless—I'll simply destroy this Ultra Megalopolis, causing all the ultimate exotic beasts of this world to surge into that world!"
