Chapter 540: Can We Win?

The glasses‑free Chi Yan Song lifted his gaze toward Huo La before him, his tone finally carrying a hint of directness.

"I admit you truly are skilled."

"To control several legendary Divine Beasts single‑handed, repeatedly shatter our formations, and even crush the primordial Super Ancient Divine Beast, you have cause for pride."

His tone suddenly shifted, a chill seeping to the bone: "But alas... your pinnacle ends here."

"Alas, what?" Huo La raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression calm.

Before Huo La could think further, the other‑worldly Shui Wu Tong suddenly replied in a deep voice: "Alas, your chances drop to zero now!"

The moment the words fell, he thrust his palm outward, crushing a crystal‑clear, water‑bright azure orb with force.

Crack!

As the orb shattered, a burst of blue watery light exploded across the sky, enveloping the entire sea surface.

The once languid, collapsed Primordial Kyogre jolted violently, a deep, heavy hum resonating from within, as the massive Water-type Origin Source surged wildly back to life.

Brilliant blue light enveloped Shui Wu Tong entirely; his figure rode the luminous flow, leapt into the air, flew straight toward the massive body of the Primordial Kyogre, and in the blink of an eye merged completely, vanishing.

Huo La's brows knit instantly, a deep doubt and wariness rising in his heart.

On the other side, the other‑worldly Chi Yan Song acted in sync, his palm erupting in flame, and a scorching Red orb shattered in response!

The searing Red afterglow rose instantly, forming a beam that lifted Chi Yan Song, carrying him aloft as he merged steadily into the body of the Primordial Groudon.

The next second, the previously solidified, cooled Red magma suddenly boiled and roiled wildly!

Extreme heat swept the surroundings, the air scorching and warping, the sea water erupting into a sky‑filled White Fog, the terrifying temperature seeming to vaporize the entire ocean.

Huo La hadn't recovered from the recent anomaly when a brazen laugh echoed from the massive body of the Primordial Kyogre, unmistakably Shui Wu Tong's voice.

"Hahaha, didn't expect that! With the azure and vermilion orbs, we can fuse directly with Kyogre and Groudon, fully commanding their power!"

Huo La's brows knit tightly, everything unfolding before his eyes far exceeded his comprehension.

He knew the azure and vermilion orbs perfectly; they were originally merely mediums to sustain the Primordial Form of Groudon and Kyogre.

Logically, once an orb shatters, the two Super Ancient Divine Beasts would instantly shed their Primordial Form, their power plummeting, making the current human‑beast fusion impossible.

This bizarre transformation before him was wholly beyond any of his predictions.

He stared at the two sea‑surface behemoths whose auras surged, speaking softly, full of doubt: "How exactly did you manage this?"

"Want to know? Then experience it yourself!"

Shui Wu Tong's wild roar erupted from within the Primordial Kyogre, accompanied by a thunderous Divine Beast bellow, unleashing a terrifying assault instantly.

Origin Pulse thundered into existence!

This technique differed entirely from the earlier cyan light wave; countless fine cyan rays interwove, no longer a coarse, savage bombardment—each filament razor‑sharp, bearing extreme cutting force, its lethality soaring severalfold.

Huo La hadn't even time to issue a command; this custom Origin Pulse struck Qi Yuan Qila Di Na mercilessly.

With a booming crack, the once invulnerable, mountain‑steady Qi Yuan Qila Di Na erupted; its hardened dimensional body was riddled with countless tiny holes, its surrounding energy destabilized and leaking, instantly wounded!

The battle turned abruptly, granting Huo La no breath of respite.

On the other side, the Primordial Groudon fused with Chi Yan Song launched a finishing strike simultaneously!

"Precipice Blades!"

Beneath the scorching, boiling magma sea, countless molten spires surged wildly, breaching the surface, locking onto the airborne Super Riekongzuo and hammering down.

Mega Riekongzuo reacted swiftly, flapping its wings to rise, attempting to evade the onslaught.

But Chi Yan Song's control had already accounted for everything!

At the instant Riekongzuo ascended, a massive stone greatsword materialized in the void above its head and slammed down from above!

The strike sealed all avenues of evasion, precise and domineering.

Bang!

Without doubt, the Super Riekongzuo that had just suppressed the Primordial Groudon was struck hard by the greatsword, its massive draconic body instantly destabilized, splashing water everywhere as it slammed into the sea, raising towering waves.

Within a few breaths, the two top‑tier Divine Beasts were both heavily wounded and suppressed.

Huo La's pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with shock.

The fused Primordial Kyogre and Primordial Groudon did not see a surge in base combat power, but unlike beasts that fight solely on instinct, under human will their techniques were no longer brutish releases.

Each move was calculated with precision, its destructive force maximized.

In the distance, Paipa stared intently at the grim sea battlefield, his tone fraught with panic as he blurted, "This... this is way too strong! Huo La seems completely outmatched; should we go up and help?"

Beside him, Bilan wore an equally worried expression, clutching his fists, watching the repeatedly suppressed Super Riekongzuo and Qi Yuan Qila Di Na, his heart burning with anxiety.

But she quickly steadied herself, gritted her teeth, and shook her head firmly: "No, we must trust Huo La. Our mission can't be jeopardized now; we must continue focusing on evacuating the civilians."

Meanwhile, above the battlefield's lofty clouds.

Natsume floated silently in mid‑air, her visage cold, no trace of extra expression, seemingly indifferent as she surveyed the divine melee below.

No one knew that her mind had already opened a psychic link, communicating with the nearby Mewtwo, silently reviewing the battle's anomalies.

At that moment, a voice came through the special headset she wore, Sakaki's steady tone tinged with slight surprise.

"I truly didn't expect these two guys could actually fuse with the Primordial Kyogre and Primordial Groudon."

Sakaki's voice carried a hint of amusement and caution as it filtered through the headset: "From their current state, their degree of fusion surpasses the earlier union of Zha Ao Bo and the Divine Beast, being more perfect and stable."

"Natsume, once this battle shows its outcome, bring those two back to me whole."

Natsume's eyes narrowed slightly, she asked softly, "Banmu Laoda, do you think... Huo La can win?"

Silence spread quietly on the other end of the line.

Regarding Natsume's question, Sakaki offered no answer, leaving only a deep hush that made his true thoughts inscrutable.
