Chapter 1237: Diancie emerges, Elite Four realm!

No, rather than sadness, it was more like sorrow.

Diancie could clearly recognize that she was feeling sorrow at this moment, her heart filled with pain.

Who was she feeling sorrow for?

She was feeling sorrow for the dark red figure spreading death in the sky.

Diancie did not understand; as a living being, it would be good enough not to hate the figure spreading death, so why would she feel sorrow for the other?

No one could explain her confusion to Diancie.

Just at this moment, Diancie suddenly felt that she was glowing, unprecedented power filling her body—it was... Mega Evolution!

After Mega Evolution ended, her extremely brilliant body was suddenly exposed to the air, and the overflowing vitality and energy instantly attracted the figure in the sky.

That figure was filled with a pitch-black aura like a black hole, its wings flashing with deep dark red light; every time it flapped its wings, the surrounding life was stripped away by that black aura, falling into a deathly silence.

But these mosquito-leg-like lives were not even enough to fill the gaps in its teeth, and at this moment, the Mega-Evolved Diancie was like a cake exuding rich life energy to Yveltal; just existing there was seducing it.

Yveltal let out a deep hiss without hesitation and attacked Diancie directly.

"Sigh..."

Diancie discovered that her body was sighing on its own, and then her body soared into the air, diamonds flashing with charming halos surrounding her like the most loyal knights, guarding her.

The battle also began at this moment.

The battle between legends could be described as heaven-collapsing and earth-shattering, with the sun and moon losing their light.

With every movement, mountains and rivers shattered, and the earth let out a moan as if it were dying.

Diancie was already very smart, and because her body was moving on its own, she didn't need to be vigilant; she just felt the battle between herself and Yveltal, slowly understanding everything.

Perhaps... she had now become the First Queen Diancie, experiencing the battle between the First Queen Diancie and the God who brings death from a first-person perspective.

Although she could not move, she still had the basic sensations of her body.

Whether it was the flow of energy within her body or the aura that spread throughout the surrounding space like a domain, she could perceive it clearly.

This also meant... at this very moment, she had temporarily stepped into the supreme realm!!!

Knowing what kind of opportunity this was, Diancie did not dare to be negligent and immediately pulled herself together to start absorbing knowledge like a sponge.

Whether it was the First Queen Diancie's ingenious energy flow trajectory or Yveltal's overbearing dark aura, they were all treasures she could utilize for herself.

The battle lasted for who knows how long; the sky was covered by dark red clouds, as if time itself had lost its meaning, without any concept.

Diancie discovered a shocking fact while learning.

That was that the First Queen Diancie not only possessed the power to fight Yveltal, but could even spare the effort to protect those petrified lives, ensuring they would not be destroyed by Yveltal's attacks or the aftermath of their battle.

After who knows how much longer, the huge diamond mountain composed of countless diamonds was covered with petrified lives.

And the light on Yveltal's huge, dark-red-intertwined wings flickered, as if its energy had been exhausted.

Diancie, who had watched everything, felt shock fill her heart.

The First Queen Diancie, while protecting so many stone statues, had actually been able to defeat Yveltal!!!

However, as the price.

Diancie felt that her body was filled with unprecedented emptiness and powerlessness, and her body was filled with the aura of deathly silence; this was not because her life had been taken by Yveltal, but the inevitable result of high-intensity combat.

Yveltal had turned into a huge cocoon at some point, lying quietly on the spot; if someone who didn't know saw it, no one would be able to connect it to the dark red giant bird that had just brought death.

Just when Diancie thought that this matter would end with the First Queen Diancie and Yveltal perishing together, a figure suddenly appeared in her somewhat unfocused

gaze, as if the other had been here all along, having watched for who knows how long.

Diancie's mouth moved involuntarily: "Long time no see, Lord Xerneas."

Her gaze looked at the noble divine deer surrounded by a rainbow-like halo, filled with deep longing and reverence.

She was not angry because of Xerneas's indifferent watching.

Xerneas's gaze was filled with pity and confusion, and he sighed: "Why must you do this?"

"The cycle of life and death is the law of heaven; excessive prosperity and flourishing will bring the arrival of death, and vice versa. In the wasteland that follows, new shoots representing rebirth will still grow."

"Whether it is me or the Overseer, we are all abiding by this law."

Xerneas could only watch as Yveltal turned this paradise into a land of deathly silence; he could not intervene. Even if he were willing to fight Yveltal, the Overseer would definitely stop him.

Because the balance had been broken.

"Hehe..." Diancie smiled weakly, her eyes curved and filled with innocence and liveliness, as if she were still that little Carbink: "It is precisely because you cannot intervene that I made such a choice."

"Little Yi also definitely wouldn't want this place to become lifeless, without a trace of vitality."

"You have already..." Xerneas looked steadily at Diancie, his eyes overflowing with sadness.

Suddenly, as if Diancie had realized something, she sped up her speech: "My story should end here. I entrust those stone statues to Lord Xerneas; please let them see the light of day again in some future day."

Xerneas nodded in agreement: "Very well."

"That is great, thank you. I have never regretted my choice."

Revealing one last faint smile, Diancie's body turned into points of light and merged into the sky, flying toward the direction of the Sacred Diamond.

Xerneas was silent for a long time, and the last sentence, like a whisper, reached his ears.

"In the future, I entrust Little Yi to you. Its story is still very long and should not be severed by death..."

On the eighteenth day of Diancie entering the Sacred Diamond to receive the inheritance, the light of the Sacred Diamond became vigorous to the extreme. After reaching a certain node, the light seemed to be drawn by some existence and gathered into the Sacred Diamond.

At the same time, the figure of Diancie, who had been separated from Su Hao for a long time, slowly emerged from the Sacred Diamond.

The points of light turned into a torrent and gathered at her side, finally constructing a brand-new mysterious aura.

The Elite Four realm was achieved as naturally as water flowing into a channel.
