Chapter 495: Six Gods Gather
Water light and sharp arrows collided wildly, explosions boomed nonstop, shockwaves burst outward in rings, and the ground's shattered stones were all hurled up.
But before the Water Curtain could stabilize, Ifeirtal on the side had already dived down.
A massive black wing flapped, a raging destructive Hurricane swept the world, the gale tore apart the water‑pressure barrier, bearing a terrifying suction that devoured everything, and slammed mercilessly toward the crowd.
"Crystal Lamp Spirit, illusion plus Shadow flame, restrain it!"
Jiecheng gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
A violet fire aura rose around him, the Crystal Lamp Spirit hovered mid‑air, countless specks of light flickered irregularly, instantly laying layers of illusion afterimages that disrupted Ifeirtal's lock.
At the same time, clusters of black Shadow flames shot through the air, adhering rigidly to the Hurricane's surface, continuously scorching and eroding its power.
But the pressure of the two Divine Beasts' joint attack was far beyond what ordinary combat power could withstand.
The illusion afterimages were instantly crushed by Ifeirtal's destructive aura, and the Shadow flames were directly devoured by the Hurricane. As the destructive torrent seemed about to crush down, a black Space Rift suddenly spanned the battlefield.
"Qi La Di Na, unleash the full Shadow power!" Bilan's voice rang through the high sky.
Qi La Di Na hovered above the inverted space, black energy boiling around it, a massive Shadow Domain unfurled with a roar, rigidly holding back Ifeirtal's destructive Hurricane.
The Anti-Matter domain clashed wildly with the destructive force, the sky blackened and reddened in violent collision, shaking the entire earth continuously.
But the crisis was not over.
The final entrant, Xerneas, slowly raised its antlers.
A dazzling pink life beam coalesced, bearing no vitality, only extreme purification and annihilation, aimed directly at Qi La Di Na.
One extinction, one order, one life.
Kalos's Three Gods exerted force simultaneously, three completely different top‑level powers wildly crushing the battlefield.
BuLaTaNuo's Blastoise faced Zygarde's Order Judgment head‑on, its whole body bombarded by water pressure that kept exploding, the shell riddled with cracks, already near its limit;
Jiecheng's Crystal Lamp Spirit kept circling to restrain, alternating illusion and Shadow flames, yet even the opponent's defense was hard to break, and its body kept being wounded by the aftershocks;
Bilan and Qi La Di Na were under overwhelming pressure, a human and a deity rigidly bearing the dual onslaught of Ifeirtal and Xerneas, ready to collapse at any moment.
"Hold on! Must hold on!"
BuLaTaNuo growled through clenched teeth, "Huo La and they only have twenty minutes! Every extra second we buy adds a point of chance to the plan!"
Lysandre stood on Ifeirtal's back, looking down at the three struggling below, a cold, cruel smile curling his lips.
"Futile struggle. Your resistance is meaningless."
"If this continues… we can't hold!" Jiecheng said, gritting his teeth as he watched the battle crumble.
BuLaTaNuo's eyes flashed with resolve, no longer holding back any power, a Super Stone appearing in his palm: "Blastoise, transcend the limit! Mega Evolution!"
Brilliant blue light suddenly erupted, dazzling evolutionary radiance enveloping the arena.
The Blastoise's body markings glowed with a sleek blue light, its shell armor hardened and restructured, the twin shoulder cannons expanded and upgraded, its form becoming ever more majestic and massive.
Mega Blastoise!
A towering Water-type Energy surged skyward, the previously shattered water power instantly reformed and condensed, a massive water‑pressure barrier redeployed, rigidly holding back Zygarde's Order Arrow Rain.
Seeing this, Jiecheng no longer hesitated, also activating a Super Stone: "Crystal Lamp Spirit, break through at full force! Mega Evolution!"
The eerie violet fire surged suddenly, the Crystal Lamp Spirit's crystalline body undergoing an ultimate metamorphosis, the surrounding Shadow flames multiplying, agile light and shadow weaving into a new spiritual shield, its aura instantly climbing several tiers.
Mega Crystal Lamp Spirit!
The black Shadow flames swept the sky, no longer a passive restraint but an active assault, layers of fire waves slammed into Ifeirtal's destructive Hurricane, rigidly holding the raging gale, temporarily blocking the advance of the destructive force.
The dual Mega Evolutions instantly stabilized the near‑collapse battlefield.
For a moment, the two Mega Pokemon unleashed power far beyond normal, relieving a massive amount of pressure from Qi La Di Na.
But this strength was ultimately fleeting.
The suppressive force of the XYZ Three Gods could not be fully countered by just two levels of Mega Evolution.
In less than three minutes, Mega Blastoise and Mega Crystal Lamp Spirit both neared their limits simultaneously, as if defeat could come at any moment.
Lysandre stood high above, coldly overlooking the dying struggle of the crowd, his tone icy and indifferent: "The meaningless struggle ends."
His words hung in the air.
Boom—!
A deafening crash shook the heavens, steam and flames instantly dissipated.
Mega Blastoise was blasted forward, slamming heavily onto the ground, unable to rise; Mega Crystal Lamp Spirit's spiritual energy was exhausted, its form dimmed, and it fell straight down.
The entire battlefield was left with only Bilan and Qi La Di Na, hanging alone in mid‑air.
One human and one deity faced Kalos's three top‑level Divine Beasts head‑on.
"Next, we end your resistance." Lysandre's eyes flashed with murderous intent, the Three Gods moved simultaneously, converging on Qi La Di Na.
In that instant, two figures ripped through space, appearing beside Qi La Di Na!
Dialga and Palkia!
Xiaoyin sat atop Dialga's head, Paipa stood on Palkia's back.
"We have arrived!"
Space-Time Trio, gather!
Deep within the tower, in the black underground passage, Huo La and AZ's figures were advancing step by step toward the core mechanism of the Final Weapon, at full speed.
