This elf world is kind of weird

January 1, Tianguan Mountain, Pillar of Spears.

After spending a "New Year in the ward", as Xiaozhi and his party continued on their journey, Filio also said goodbye to the friends he made in the town, especially one who, for some unknown reason, had a lot of weight all over his body. The nightmare god, who had bruises big and small, started his journey again.

Only this time, beside him, besides Korni, there was also Nazi, who had no new arrangements after the concert.

However, this trip was not for sightseeing, or rather, it was more than that.

This highest peak in Sinnoh, which carries history, myths and legends, was the guidance left to Philio by Arceus who passed away in a flash that day.

Following the call from the underworld, he easily followed the mountain and arrived at the legendary place of creation.

And the moment he stepped onto the ruins, a deep purple light slowly descended from the sky, landed on this ancient ruins that carried the power of creation, and landed in Filio's arms.
-
"Is this...the Flute of Heaven?"

Holding the magical instrument that was still shining slightly, Filio raised his head, looked at the blue sky where there was nothing, even the clouds were gone, and murmured to himself.

[Blow it. 】

A silent call resounds from the bottom of my heart, with a magic power that points directly to the human heart.

He held up this sacred object that spanned history with hesitation, and put it to his mouth. Philio, who didn't know the slightest music theory, seemed to be a master of it, blowing out the natural sound that resounded in the sky.

In the pleasant melody, a series of flawless white stairs emerged under his feet, extending towards the distant sky. At the end of his sight, there was a silver-white palace that was almost unreal.

The Hall of Beginning.

Time stood still at this moment, Nazi and Korni, including Chaomeng who had been hiding behind Filio and secretly guarding him, and Darkrai who after much thought quietly followed him all the way from Baiyang Town.

Everyone is at a standstill.

Even Chaomeng could only struggle in vain, using his surging superpower to attack the constraints of this rule, but he could not shake it at all.

"...Enpei!"

In the silence, except for Filio himself, only the emperor Nabo who rushed out of the elf ball could barely stand.

Two huge orbs were suspended behind it, and the deep power of time and space struggled to resist the laws of the Creator.

This was a reward lent to him by the Sinnoh Alliance. He originally wanted to let Emperor Nabo feel the power of the two gods with similar attributes, but he never expected that it would play a role at this moment.

A steady stream of power poured into its body, half of it was the coldness of metal, and half of it was the vastness of the wave, merging into one in its cold gaze.

The tall body was in a fighting posture, like a thick barrier lying in front of Filio, giving him an extra sense of security.

"It's really Arceus. Don't be too nervous, Emperor Napoleon. It probably means no harm."

Philio raised his head, not much surprised, let alone panic, just a little surprised, which was quickly replaced by a smile.

He gently patted Emperor Nabo's shoulder and took back the elf ball after it calmed down. His super power turned into a big hand and pinched the still shining orb.

"However, I have no intention of leaving my loved ones behind and acting alone."

As he spoke, he held Nazhi and Korni, who were walking side by side, with his hands on each side. His eyes did not dodge, and he looked at the Creator who was watching him from a high altitude from a distance.

From the superpower's touch to the uncompromising eye contact, this seemingly offensive behavior seemed to make Arceus feel a little more unexpectedly interesting.

A wave of obscure emotions came from far away, which was keenly sensed by Philio, and what followed was an answer without joy or sorrow.

Time resumed its flow, the sun was still shining, and the wind began to blow. Nazi and Kerni noticed the warmth in their palms at the same time, and cast inquiring glances.

"Let's go, this is a rare opportunity. Let's go together to see the true face of the great being who created all things."

Gently holding the two women's hands, Filio raised the corners of his mouth slightly and took the first step up the stairs.

The opportunity to face the Creator God is a supreme honor.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I can see that the ruins below have turned into a small black dot, the towering peaks also look much smaller and cuter, and the pure silver-white palace finally appears in front of me.

As we stepped onto the last step of the stairs, the scenery in front of us suddenly changed. Everything around us disappeared, leaving only pure white as snow.

In the deepest part of the hall, Arceus stood quietly, silent and motionless, but he naturally became the focus.

Everyone's eyes seemed to have encountered the iron block of a magnet, and they were nailed to it, unable to pull away for a moment.

That is not only the power of the law, but also perfection in the true sense that cannot be faulted from any angle.

Arceus, who possesses all 18 attribute stone tablets, is a perfect existence in this world, round and flawless from the inside out.

With just a simple look at each other, Nazhi and Korni fell into the deep still space and time again. They seemed to be the same as the time not long ago, but they had completely different properties.

Even Chaomeng had no room to struggle, and his expression still remained the same three-point surprise and seven-point vigilance that he had when they first met.

This time, it was no longer the escape of the rules, but the creation God personally took action, using the power of time beyond Dialga to completely block the flow of time for all existences except itself and Filio.

Not only Emperor Nabo who was sealed in the elf ball, but also Dialga himself who was recuperating in an unknown dimension.

Even the God of Time cannot defy this higher-level law.

"Hello, Arceus, I'm Philio. I think this is our second meeting. Please give me your advice."

Filio, who was confused by its sudden behavior and couldn't find a reason, but could see that the other party had other intentions, could only take a few steps forward and broke the awkwardness that spread between the two with a dry greeting. of silence.

[No, to be precise, it was the third time, and the boy from another world when you just arrived. 】

The voice, which cannot distinguish between genders or feel the ups and downs of emotions, appears directly in the depths of Philio's spiritual world.

Although he knew that this was something that could not be hidden from Arceus, when his identity was finally revealed, Philio was still shocked and stunned.

[You don’t seem too surprised by this, but you didn’t expect me to be so blunt, right. 】

Seeing Philio's mood, Arceus' tone softened a bit, and his eyes were no longer as calm and plain as Gujing Wubo, but more interested and thoughtful.

[In the past many years, countless humans and Pokémon have come from other worlds, but you are fundamentally different from them. 】

The deep eyes flashed with commanding light, reflecting the afterimages of countless worlds.

[Part of your soul comes from a world that I cannot understand, but it is indisputable and a native of this world. 】

Although it hangs high above the world, and even often falls into a deep sleep due to the damage of creation and the huge consumption of maintaining the operation of this world, as long as it is awake, it is still a being with unparalleled wisdom and judgment.

Philio was secretly frightened, but not afraid. He knew very well that although he didn't know the purpose of Arceus calling him here, it was definitely not to raise an army to accuse him.

The reason couldn't be simpler: with the power of the Creator God, there is no need to do such a thing.

Sure enough, after not finding the emotion it hoped for from Philio, it raised its head casually.

[You guessed it right, I really don’t care about this.Needless to say, despite your special origins, you are still my child. 】

His distant gaze seems to penetrate everything and see the end of the world. Arceus, who incarnates all things, has a mind and magnanimity beyond imagination.

The golden front legs were gently raised, and the dancing light points sank into Philio's body, bringing him the scenery in Arceus' eyes.

It is a kind of transparency in which the whole world is analyzed in front of one's eyes, but not everything can be perceived.

On this blue planet, there are still countless clouds, or in other words, they are [unknown] that even God cannot know immediately.

Among them, the biggest dark cloud is far away in the sky, yet close before our eyes, right in the Hall of Beginning.

[Children, unknown is the biggest variable in the world. It is both the source of chaos and the basis of order. 】

Dark Zygarde.

The rampant Taijing energy.

The twin gods of time and space fighting to the death.

……

Pictures of the past emerged one after another, and the long river of time also reversed its direction time and time again.

In this fragile time and space, the butterfly effect has become particularly obvious, and every variable will bring about countless changes.

But it all came to an abrupt end in the colorful light not long ago.

The calm gaze penetrates the complicated light and sees the existence that is free from reality and fiction, reality and fiction.

Patronus of Padia, symbolizing perversity.

And...a fleeting shadow of the Creator.

"You mean...this is all your fault..."

Filio suddenly opened his eyes, his bright pupils shining brightly.

[The stability of time and space has been basically achieved again, and the fragility caused by my sleep will no longer appear. 】

Arceus did not answer Philio's question directly, but looked at him meaningfully.

[All outsiders who are not accepted will leave in the near future, it is just a matter of time, unless they have the power to resist the rules of time and space. 】

The figure of the man in black flashed through Philio's mind, and Arceus's words were full of meaning, making him subconsciously think of this unknown and powerful enemy who was powerful and calculating.

[Among these people, you are not included.You are both an outsider and a native of this world, and you are free.Even...more free than me. 】

A sharp gaze that pointed straight to the bottom of his heart shot out from Arceus's eyes, and the long preparation made it clear.

"...I understand, Arceus. That's why you asked me to come here specifically because you want me to do something related to time and space, right?"

As the saying goes, you can know the elegant meaning after hearing the string song. Philio understood Arceus' intention and bowed respectfully. It was clearly a question, but his tone was particularly determined. [Yes, I need your help.There will also be things I don't know about, especially things that have already happened on the same timeline. 】

Arceus did not shy away from the fact that as the God of Creation, he was not omnipotent, and he accepted the offer frankly.

There are countless its in countless worlds, each of which is a clone and the original body. They are different from each other and can no longer be integrated into one due to the loss of creation.

It can know a lot, but it cannot exhaust everything in the world. That is why it needs real helpers.

He raised his front foot again, and another small light spot bounced around. This time, it landed on Filio's forehead.

Golden light burst out, and a string of memories from ancient times poured into Filio's mind like gurgling water.

Flashing lightning, falling boulders, blazing flames... and the destruction brought about by the furious gods.

【Midina】

A familiar yet unfamiliar name appeared before his eyes, carrying the anger, sadness and doubt of a god.

[I need you to go to this time and space, find out for me what happened at that time, and find out the truth. 】

Arceus's voice took on a distinct emotional color for the first time.

Even in its rage, it did not want to believe that someone with the superpower blessed by it would betray itself.

The memory of betrayal was like a thorn, piercing deeply into its heart, making it want to find out what happened no matter what.

After telling all the memories before he fell into sleep, Arceus looked at Philio quietly, waiting for his answer.

"Although you say I am special, I still want to know why it is me."

Philio neither agreed nor refused, but looked at Arceus curiously.

"It stands to reason that the guardian in the Midina ruins who still possesses superpowers after so many years, and the young man from Zhenxin Town who was blessed by the Phoenix King, are more suitable candidates than me. Or, And the biological son who was sent back to ancient Sinnoh by you?"

[You really know a lot, just like you can predict the future, although your super power does not have the ability to predict things. 】

Arceus looked unsurprised, but he was not angry at Philio's non-answering questions and teasing. He just stepped lightly on the floor.

"Swish"

The surrounding white light dimmed, time and space began to collapse, and the Hall of Beginning turned into nothingness.

In the endless chaos and darkness, a bright light shines in a distant place.

Immediately afterwards, there were red chains dancing like a swimming dragon and a huge dragon in a panic.

Although the tall and straight figure is shaky, it is still there

What appeared before their eyes was a story that happened not long ago.

[You are indeed an anomaly, but you are also part of this world, and... you are an inseparable and important part of this world full of particularities. 】

The darkness and chaos disappeared instantly, and the pure Temple of Beginning returned again, bringing a burst of warmth and freshness.

With a clear and distant scene, Arceus answered Philio's confusion and satisfied his curiosity.

And deep down in his heart, the Creator who always stands at the top also hides the other half of his reasons.

Rather than passively waiting and accepting fate, once it sees a solution, it is more willing to take the initiative and look for that unusual possibility.

Perhaps, among countless parallel worlds, it is also the unique and special Arceus.

Countless chances and coincidences have created this world and the current cause and effect.

Philio, who has almost no space-time repulsion and can even maintain the people around him, is an extremely suitable candidate and has become the only candidate in Arceus' heart.

After all, it didn't want to fight with those three dragon gods whose heads were not very easy to use.

Although effortless, it is still a bit ugly.

Arceus also has a good face.

His emotions fluctuated unconsciously, and his expressions lost control after millions of years of loneliness.

At this moment, it does not look like an omnipotent great creator, but more like an ordinary life.

With a tacit understanding, Philio understood Arceus' intention.

Nodding slightly, he smiled and said: "Since this is the reason, then I am willing to help. When will we set off?"

[Don’t you ask me for remuneration? 】

Arceus was a little curious. According to his understanding of human values, throughout the ages, people should be paid for doing things for others.

Except for the idiot who saved him and asked for nothing.

It hates that unforgettable betrayal, but it still hasn't forgotten it.

As the architect of worlds and civilizations, it has witnessed countless rises and destructions, and respects the rules of its creation.

Because it is the incarnation of rules.

"Payment? Well...let me think about it."

Philio thought hard for a long time, and his eyes lit up.

"I don't have anything that I absolutely want to get, and I don't have anything that I urgently need to obtain with the help of external forces. If I have to say something, then I hope to form a relationship. What do you think?"

【fate?Do you believe in such a thing? 】

Philio's answer surprised Arceus.

"Why don't you believe it?"

Pointing at Mewtwo and Darkrai behind him, Filio's rhetorical question seemed natural.

"Arceus, the boundary between humans and gods is not as clear as you think. This is what I always believe. So if you want to give me some reward, that's it."

【...Is that so. 】

Arceus thoughtfully stepped on it lightly, and the still time resumed flowing again.

"Swish"

The moment Nazi and Korni regained their ability to move, the invisible power of rules banished Mewtwo and Darkrai far away, leaving only the three of them.

[In that case, then let’s go.They can't go with you, but these two humans can. 】

After taking a deep look at Philio, the power of creation condensed in the stone slabs surrounding him and turned into a brilliant brilliance.

The power of traveling through time and space shines on Filio, and then on Nazhi and Korni, who were frightened by the sudden change and lost their beauty.

They only had time to hold Filio's hand tightly before they were completely enveloped in light.

"boom--"

Infinite light and heat exploded in an instant, and a miniature sun rose in the Hall of Beginning. It was extremely brilliant and then disappeared in an instant.

Chaomeng and Darkrai, who were moved to a distant place, hurriedly hurriedly rushed, but in the end they were a step too late.

When they returned together, the three of them had disappeared without a trace.

【Asshole!Where did you take him? ! 】

Chaomeng gritted his teeth, and in his rage, his super powers were dyed a dark blue.

The super spoon, like an extension of a limb, broke through the rules of the Palace of Beginnings and condensed instantly. It was tightly held in the palm of Chaomeng's hand. With a wave of his hand, the war was about to begin.

However, the power that is not inferior to any god seems a bit childish in front of Arceus.

Facing Mewtwo's attack, Arceus had already expected it and didn't care. He just glanced at it lightly, and the stone slab behind him reappeared.

Although in order to break the rules of the timeline, he obtained more powerful power than Dialga through simulation and transcendence, and sacrificed a huge amount of power, he is still not an existence comparable to any legendary Pokémon.

A colorful energy cage was formed out of thin air beside Chaomeng, and the purest attribute power turned into invisible shackles, binding its limbs and locking its proud superpowers.

[They will be fine, they are just completing a commission of mine.You can't go with me, but I allow you to wait outside.Now, you can leave. 】

The power of rules reappeared with the fluctuation of spirit, and Chaomeng, who was struggling, instantly turned into a point of light in the distance and disappeared.

"..."

Darkrai opened his mouth and was about to speak, but when he saw Arceus' deep eyes, everything was self-evident.

There was another white light, and it finally arrived through the reverse world, following in Chaomeng's footsteps.

The concept of space lost its meaning at this moment, with a little bit of bad taste belonging to the Creator.

Curled up on the crystal ground, Arceus narrowed his eyes and fell asleep, adjusting his breath, waiting for a fateful moment.

Whether it is judgment or redemption, even the gods cannot be sure of it and can only wait.

The Hall of Beginning turned into nothingness and dissipated in the sky above the Spear Pillar without any trace or clue, as if it was outside the world. (End of chapter)
