Chapter 554: Battle of the Divine Beast Legion

"Charge!" With Sakaki's command again, the dense legion of Divine Beasts before them roared and surged forward.

Each figure moved at varying speeds—some flying, some running—but all shared one thing: a terrifying energy gathered around each of them.

Even in their gazes burned endless rage, a fury directed at Arceus for destroying the world they inhabited.

The first to take to the sky and strike were the Phoenix King and Lugia.

The Phoenix King's wings unfurled rainbow flames, scorching light sweeping the heavens, holy fire forming a pillar that pierced the sky and slammed straight at Arceus.

At the same moment, Lugia beat its wings, raising an endless storm, concentrating all its power into an air explosion, the critical force stacking layer upon layer, continuously tearing at the light surrounding Arceus.

Hot on their charge, the Three Sacred Beasts broke through in unison.

Raikou was surrounded by rolling thunderclouds, thunder booming across the sky; the Flame Emperor opened its mouth, spewing scorching heatwaves, massive blasts of flame scorching the void; Suicune strode on the waves, cold air spreading, aurora-like mist intertwining with water power, streams of water blades continuously lashing.

In the high sky, the Three Legendary Birds formed a triangular formation around.

Articuno swept out chilling cold, its icy beam freezing the air; the Thunder Bird drew down electric light from the heavens, countless Thunderbolts weaving a massive lightning net; the Flame Bird blazed with intense fire, unleashing overheating, the three forces of ice, fire, and lightning alternating in relentless bombardment.

On the ground, five giants took slow steps.

Regirock activated rock power, rock blocks raising countless boulders that hurled into the air; Regice radiated a two‑hundred‑degree‑below chill, freezing dryness sucking all moisture from the air into icy shackles; Registeel's body shimmered with metallic luster, gathering strength to fire a metal beam; Regieleki was surrounded by electric light, laying a Thunder Cage to trap the target; Regidrago roared, its life at peak, unleashing a massive draconic power, a gigantic dragon light shooting skyward.

Red and blue silhouettes slashed across the horizon as Latios and Latias surged side by side, their twin forces merging; two kindred psychic thrusts, one after the other, hammered continuously, Psychic energy drilling into the gaps of divine defense.

Kyurem was enveloped in pure white apocalyptic flame, its engine core roaring endlessly, intersecting flames scorching the sky, bearing a searing force that purged all; Zekrom wore black thunder armor, its massive tail vibrating, intersecting lightning summoned thunderclaps, countless black lightning pillars rained down wildly; Reshiram hovered between the two dragons, extreme cold dragon aura instantly covering the world, an ice‑sealed realm suddenly unfolding.

Kyogre raised a massive wave from nothing, Origin Pulse erupting from the ocean‑like energy sphere, endless water streams continuously battering; Groudon crushed rock layers underfoot, the earth constantly bulging, countless razor‑sharp rocks breaking through the soil, the terrifying Precipice Blades; Rayquaza sliced through the clouds, its form diving at high speed, a decisive strike echoing through the void, shaking the entire airspace violently.

The Three Illusory Gods floated in the air, their minds linked by Ke Xi, Ai Mu Li Duo, and Ya Ke Nuo Mu; now, fueled by their anger, they sensed the kindred power within Arceus, and the three simultaneously unleashed Spirit Shock, countless chaotic mental forces ravenously eroding Arceus's consciousness, attempting to disrupt it.

The Space-time Rift tore open with a thunderous crack.

Dialga let out a low roar, Time Roar shaking time, warping all laws within its attack range; Palkia's Spacial Rend tore open countless spatial fragments for slicing.

Light and darkness faced each other at this moment.

Cresselia's body radiated gentle moonlight, the new‑moon glow continuously spilling, empowering allies; Darkrai's form turned into boundless darkness, seeking to drag Arceus into an endless nightmare.

Xerneas pranced on air, its whole body blooming with vibrant flowers, endless Life Energy of the earth gathering on its branches, a Fairy wind carrying the ever‑renewing force, continuously washing over; Iapelta spread its wings aloft, a black aura of destruction enveloping the surroundings, a Death Wind snatching nearby energy, each beat of its wings bearing a ruinous power that tore everything apart; Zygarde reassembled its body, achieving its perfect form, countless cells converging into a torrent of order, its core unleashing a massive wave of slashes that surged forward.

The Swords of Justice charged together, the four forces of steel, rock, grass, and water intertwining.

Gou Pao Lu Weng, Dai La Ji Weng, Bi Li Ji Weng, and Keldeo simultaneously raised light blades, countless holy swords crisscrossing, the four beasts' wills united, a massive slash merging the four attributes surged toward Arceus.

Wind and clouds shifted between heaven and earth.

Dragon Cyclone Cloud whipped up endless gale, the hurricane sweeping all directions; Thunder Cloud roamed between the layers, amplifying thunder and Thunderbolt power; Earth Cloud trampled the ground, its heavy tremors continuously shaking the airspace where Arceus stood.

Alola's Four Great Guardian Deities simultaneously activated their power, jointly urging nature's wrath; the four natural forces of flora, water, illusion, and rock merged into one, forming a massive torrent of energy that continuously crushed and washed over.

The light of sun and moon split the horizon.

Suo Er Jia Lei Ou was cloaked in dazzling radiance, meteors flashing like falling stars; Lunala shrouded the area in faint shadows, its shadow light continuously eroding defenses; Necrozma gathered all its surrounding light, photons surging to fire a pure white beam that pierced everything.

Cangxiang's fangs grasped the power of the holy sword, unleashing a full‑force Beast Slash, its edge nearly cutting through the light; Zang Ma Ran Te raised a sturdy shield, the Beast Shield strike colliding head‑on, forcing Arceus's form to sink slightly.

From the four corners of the earth, four streams bearing ominous aura drifted outward.

Ancient Tablet Snail released an Insect Cry disaster, countless corrosive insect shadows gnawing at the spirit light; Ancient Sword Leopard swung an ice blade, the icy disaster freezing the flow of energy; Ancient Tripod Deer summoned earth power, the earth disaster continuously trembling; Ancient Jade Fish raised a raging tide, the angry wave disaster repeatedly washing over.

In Paradise, the twin dragons raced side by side.

Gulldon leapt high, spinning its body to unleash a full‑power charge, an explosive impact crashing down repeatedly; Miltodon crackled with electric light, a dragon's roar rallying and amplifying the field, followed by intertwined dragon‑electric strikes, launching a fierce assault.

Ten thousand techniques simultaneously hammered Arceus, explosion after explosion, the entire Shinto Ruins completely turning into an energy furnace.

High above, Arceus lifted its head, a detached gaze sweeping the Divine Beast army; the light of its Thousand Cosmos Wrist at the waist flared wildly, the Seventeen Plates shimmered with seventeen energy attributes, clearly preparing a counterattack.
