This elf world is kind of weird

"This guy Qixin is really completely crazy, to be able to do such a thing."

Seeing the silver water that had been brewing for a long time and accumulated in a huge pool, Damos looked depressed and struggled.

There were scattered metal debris all around, emitting an unpleasant pungent smell. These were the results of Kerni's previous attempts.

At the slightest touch, at least it will break on the spot, and more often it will be completely corroded, leaving no trace.

Even Philio feels fear from the bottom of his soul for this liquid metal, which is countless times more terrifying than mercury.

It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he understood why Arceus was injured by a meteorite made of this material.

It is not a product of this world at all, and is so corrosive that only pipes and pools made of the same material condensed into a solid state can bear its erosion.

Even if there is no physical form of spiritual power, once it is attached to it, it will be impregnated with some unknown toxin or something, and then transmitted to the body, making people feel dizzy.

After just a brief taste of the temptation, he felt his head swelled and his heart was filled with fear.

And the weak green light emerged faintly from the bottom of the pool, faintly visible, but it made it difficult to find the direction.

Surging divine power overflowed from the silver-gray liquid metal. Although most of it was obscured, it undoubtedly revealed the true identity of the treasure hidden "under the water".

Qixin, aware that there might be an accident, sealed this treasure, which he would not abandon no matter what, in the pool that he thought was the safest.

Outside the temple, cheers and exclamations intertwined. Amidst the cheers of the soldiers and priests, Arceus' figure was getting closer and closer. Time waited for no one.

Philio looked at Damos who was still struggling with his thoughts, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. He was no longer as irritable as before, but calmed down and comforted softly: "I'll leave this to you, maybe If you can find some tool to fish it out, don't blame yourself. Qishin is willing to be Smeagol controlled by the Lord of the Rings. You can also be Frodo! Leave it to me to hold it back."

"S... Smeagol?"

Damos was confused by the sudden unfamiliar name, but Philio just smiled, turned around casually, and waved his hand gently.

"It's just a story about my hometown. I hope the ending will be the same. I'll leave it to you, Kerni and Nazi. Please help him and don't follow him."

A faint super power enveloped Nazi and Korni who were about to set off with him, holding them down gently but irresistibly. Within a moment, the tall figures disappeared into the deep corridor.

Facing Arceus who came here, Philio chose to go alone.

The Flute of Heaven on his chest began to heat up, making the skin and flesh on his chest feel a little burning.
-
Arceus expressionlessly rushed to the temple from the distant sky at a speed that seemed slow but was actually extremely fast, and landed on the small flat land extending from the cliff.

The priests and soldiers who were cheering and shouting just now have disappeared, and were sent to a safe place by Philio. He was the only one to welcome the arrival of the god.

Arceus didn't take it seriously for such a somewhat contemptuous treatment. In other words, from the moment it appeared, it seemed to have no mood swings. It was only when it saw Philio that it showed a trace of imperceptible emotion. surprise.

[Human, why do you have an aura that I am familiar with on your body? 】

Looking down at Philio, who looked very small in front of him, Arceus' tone was calm and distant. Although he was a little curious, he was completely unconcerned.

It was like seeing a slightly strange and familiar bug on the roadside.

The light silvery gray is more obvious under the dim sunlight, like a layer of mist covering the body.

The invisible pressure dissipated instinctively, even if it was not targeted, it made Philio and the Dream Demon, Emperor Nabo and Sun Eevee beside him feel their heartbeats speed up and their breathing become a little heavier.

Not only powerful, but also a cold sense of crisis.

"Arzeus, I am the envoy entrusted by you in the future to come here. This is my token."

Philio, who noticed something unusual, did not hesitate and took out the Flute of Heaven from the coat on his chest and held it above his head.

【Future...me?That’s it, then, what are you doing? 】

Arceus glanced at the Flute of Heaven with a cold gaze, and after confirming the authenticity of the aura, Arceus nodded slightly, but remained unmoved, and coldly asked Philio about his purpose.

"You in the future hope that I will help investigate the betrayal that occurred in Midina. According to my investigation, Damos, the king of Midina, did not betray you. The real rebel was his subordinate Qishin, who has now been captured by me. Kill him with your own hands. It’s just that the source of life has been secretly placed in a dangerous pool and cannot be taken out for the time being. I hope you can give me some grace."

The majesty of the gods was lofty and elusive. The strong sense of distance and terrifying power made Philio not dare to be careless at all. He explained the situation in a few words and looked at the creator who was known for his fairness without being humble or arrogant.

[A promise is a promise and cannot be changed. This is an unbreakable rule. 】

What he responded to was a sentence that seemed to have been typed long ago.

Arceus seemed to see through Philio's intentions at a glance, his expression was as calm as ever, and there was no depth to it.

"But this is also true..."

[Future messenger, your mission has been completed. The following matters have nothing to do with you. The people of Damos and Midina should complete them.Betrayers pay a price, especially those who use forbidden power, no matter the reason.Please get out of the way. 】

Without giving Filio a chance to say anything, Arceus, who spoke and acted like a robot, nodded indifferently and stepped forward again.

It had already seen Damos hidden deep in the temple, and the silver poisonous metal.

There's nothing more to say.

However, on its path forward, the tiny mortal remained motionless.

[You have crossed the line, future messenger. 】

Slowly stopping, Arceus' voice was as cold and biting as the cold wind. It was not like the calm god when he met him, but rather like it had become some kind of program.

In other words, an existence governed by rules.

Shining points of light overflowed from the body surface, and each one was powerful enough to threaten the life of the champion Pokémon, making the hairs on the hairs of the three Pokémon protecting Filio stand on end, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The power of the Creator cannot be compared to any first-level god, even when multiple stone tablets are lost.

The overwhelming momentum was like a huge wave, hitting Filio's body, making him feel as if he was in the middle of the roaring waves.

Philio frowned, took a deep breath, looked at Arceus, and pointed to the sky.

The total solar eclipse is still short of the last point. At this moment, the sun is still emitting a faint light.

"The time has not yet come, you need to abide by this rule, don't you deny that."

The dim light fell on the young man's face, reflecting his stubborn face, dim but clear.

Arceus raised his head. There was indeed faint sunlight in the sky, and the sun was still the last corner.

After the fact, it nodded slightly and stood still, like a sculpture.

[You are very smart, I hope you don’t do stupid things. 】

The crystal white light stayed on its surface, not radiating, and complemented the silver-gray substance on the surface, carrying a dangerous beauty and a warning from the gods.

In just a moment, Philio's back was wet with sweat, and his palms were cold and wet.

The superpowers spread behind them, and they watched nervously as Damos and the others were exhausted and tried various methods but ultimately failed.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Arzeus, I'm going to urge Damos to speed up the progress."

Bowing to salute, Philio stepped back.

Arceus was noncommittal, and the light on his body flickered slightly as acquiescence.

When Filio turned around and disappeared into the darkness, a familiar voice came from the bottom of his heart.

[History is created by life, not the other way around. 】

Looking back suddenly, he saw that Arceus was motionless, but the Flute of Heaven was shining brightly.

His eyes widened and he looked down in disbelief at this divine token that accompanied him through time and space.

[Everyone has his own mission. When the human part is completed, the rest is the realm of God. 】

The plain words were a bit confident and leisurely, which made Filio feel relieved a little.

A dazzling blue light lights up in the darkness.

The dazzling light made Arceus look sideways at it outside the temple. There was a fleeting look in his eyes, but it was instantly covered by the gray coldness.

The strange coldness became more and more obvious.

This is a historical variable.

At the same time, in the deepest part of the temple, after politely expressing his gratitude to Nazi and Korni, Damos stood alone in front of the pool full of destruction, with a determined expression.

All attempts ended in failure.

The light of the source of life is blocked by the strange power from another world, and appears and disappears.

It was as if Qixin, whose mind had been bewildered by power, was issuing a final challenge to him.

Possession or return.

Destruction or rebirth.

This is the last question and challenge issued by the alienated man who considers himself a guardian to his king.

In the face of power, some people go to destruction, while others remain pure.

Taking a deep breath, the scene of Damos meeting, getting to know each other, and recognizing each other appeared in front of Damos' eyes.

There is also a city-state that they regard as life and higher than life.

The sound of rapid footsteps came closer from far away, and Philio's figure appeared from the corridor.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, Philio frowned, and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

"Thank you for your help, future friend. I heard all the conversations between you and Arceus. I will not let you down. This is my responsibility as a king. You are right, everyone has to pay for their own choices. The price, this is the price I have to pay.”

Damos smiled and nodded. The already crystal clear superpower turned out to be a bit purer, like the bright moonlight.

Under Philio's gaze, he calmly walked towards a path that was far different from his memory but more cruel.

The big hands covered with calluses from work were raised, and super energy was wrapped around them.

Taking a deep breath, Damos gritted his teeth and descended into the pool filled with highly toxic substances.

"...!"

In just a moment, this simple man who always showed off his gentle smile was covered in sweat, and his facial features were distorted in pain.

The pain that should have been borne by Arceus fell on the King of Midina this time.

It's not just physical pain, it goes right into the soul.

It is both burning and annihilation.

The poison that even God could not avoid tortured his body and mind, bringing him devastating consequences.

The light of Chao Ke flickers on and off, but it cannot be stopped.

It only allowed him to hold on in excruciating pain for a few more moments.

Struggling, groping, searching, the faint light of life is right in front of you, but you can't catch it no matter what.

The small pool seemed deep and vast at this moment.

The severe pain made it extremely difficult for him to move.

"you……"

Nazi and Korni looked struggling and couldn't bear it.

Looking at each other, the two decided to step forward and help him with their special abilities.

But just as this thought arose, the gentle super power wrapped around them tightly and held them in place.

"It doesn't make anyone worry...just leave it to me. This time I really let that alpaca take care of it."

Holding the scorching Flute of Heaven in his hand, feeling the scorching heat, Philio turned his back and faced the corridor that was already faintly flashing with white light.

An invisible but tight string in my heart broke.

"Hey! You...don't go there! You can't stop...!"

In extreme pain, Damos, dripping with sweat, struggled to raise his head and looked at Philio's back.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Philio waved his hand casually without looking back.

"Do your own thing and don't be too sentimental. I just think that guy is not happy and I want to give him some treatment."

"...Besides, nothing is impossible for me, and this time is no exception."

The lingering sound lingered in the air.

As the words fell, the figure disappeared into the darkness.

Outside the temple, the last rays of light and heat from the sun were also obscured by darkness.

The fateful total solar eclipse is coming as scheduled.

[I know you're watching. Don't pretend to be dead. When will you come over to save me? 】

In the darkness, Philio, who held the Flute of Heaven tightly, whispered in his heart.

[If you hold on firmly, there will be a solution. 】

The message coming from the flute made people particularly angry.

[I knew you, a voyeur, must have secretly viewed my memories, you crooked old alpaca!Still holding on firmly...Can't you say some auspicious words to me? 】

Veins popped, and Philio became annoyed.

The roar of silence was deafening.

[…It won’t take long, there will be a solution. 】

Sensing Philio's anger, Arceus didn't dare to say anything more and said sarcastically.

"I hope your solution is not to put my tablet in the Hall of Beginning... Otherwise, I will slap you twice and stick your tablet there."

Having lost his last patience with this guy who lost his temper at the critical moment, Philio waved his hand impatiently and faced the ancient creator who was already close at hand.

But somehow, the tension entrenched in the depths of his soul unexpectedly dissipated.

With two huge orbs hanging behind him, Philio took a fighting stance and stood still on his feet.

"Arceus, this road is blocked today!"

The angry shouts echoed in the corridor.

[I warned you, don't do anything stupid. 】

In response, it was Arceus' slow but threatening voice.

And a dazzling beam of light.

The light gravel symbolizes the sanction of judgment.

That is the final verdict from the ruthless judge.

The omniscient and omnipotent Creator understood everything that happened the moment he saw the silver water.

Its dignity does not allow itself to turn a blind eye.

The time of judgment is now.

"Emperor Nabo, time! Sun Eevee, Dream Demon, space! If it falls on me, I will bear it!"

The menacing attack came from far and near. Filio gave a sharp shout, and the superpowers in his body were like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, and like an erupting volcano, blooming instantly under the blessing of the power of time and space.

The power of rules that spans time and space is full of violent destruction and gentle creation, contradictory yet coordinated.

Time passes and space moves.

The strands of black hair turned into white hair.

Wrinkles appeared quickly.

The vigorous vitality disappeared rapidly in the long river of time.

But in an instant, the countercurrent of time and space restored the gray hair to its original state, and the breathtaking aura revitalized the instantly decayed body.

Unimaginable magical changes spread over him.

Immediately afterwards, this power was transferred again and extended to Emperor Nabo who bore the greatest pressure on his own.

After that, Dream Demon and Sun Eevee joined forces to attack and forcibly took on the power of space that did not match their own.

"Elu!"

"Qi Duo!"

At the moment of life and death, the elf ball in his waist exploded.

The gift of life from Xerneas and Zygarde burned brightly at this moment, like a torch in the night.

The clear pale pink lights up the dim corridor and the silent world.

"Lanka!——"

A fiery roar sounded behind everyone, and it was purer than any previous waveguide. The crystal-clear and almost transparent blue light seemed to cover everything with a layer of gauze.

Suddenly, a phantom of a vigorously growing World Tree emerged from the body of the Staff Tail Scale Ankylosaurus, almost condensing into substance.

The power of legend and life merged into one at this moment, and with determination to exhaust everything, they met Arceus on a narrow road.

"boom--"

Mixedness and purity, colorfulness and whiteness, the instantaneous collision freezes time and space.

intertwined, annihilated, and then completely destroyed.

The divine judgment is blocked and counteracted at this moment.

【Beyond your own power! 】

Arceus' voice was filled with emotion for the first time.

It was pure rage.

Even if it is just a casual blow, it is a great humiliation for it to be blocked by a mortal who has never taken it seriously.

However, this is far from over.

Countless light points rose from Philio's body, and the celestial flute on his chest shone brightly.

【Varied……? ! 】

Just when Arceus was preparing a powerful attack that could destroy everything, a mortal counterattack suddenly came.

In a way it was completely unimagined.

"Everyone has weaknesses, even if you are a god! I leave it to you, the Tyrannosaurus! Mega evolution! Dragon Dive!"

The great power that spans the long river of time continuously emerges from the void, pours into everyone's body, and then merges into the spinning elf ball along the invisible bridge of light.

Arceus' "solution" arrived just in time.

Carrying the opportunity created by all the efforts of the partners, the majestic flying dragon turned into a bloody crescent moon under the shining of seven-color light. It was ignited with blazing arrogance and rushed towards the unrivaled Creator.

Zygarde's life force was completely burned, turning into a moment of brilliance.

Mortal life charges against the sublime Lord of all things.

"boom--"

The narrow corridor was shattered in the fierce collision between the two behemoths.

The rocks collapsed and dust flew, but they were completely annihilated by the power of rules and became invisible.

After a period of tremors, the outside of the temple was completely destroyed, leaving no trace. Only the Tyrannosaurus fell into the ground and escaped directly from the state of mega evolution.And... Arceus had a shallow scar on his chest.

It lost the Dragon Tablet and was injured.

It is no longer a meteorite from another world, but a blow from a mortal.

In the mountain town of Midina, the people who had just been cheering for the arrival of the gods stopped one after another and looked at the sky in astonishment.

Even they could see that Arceus' holy body was stained with a grayish color.

The divine power remained, and the delighted people fell to their knees.

But it's not worship, but fear.

The whole city trembled in terror.

"Arceus...is angry..."

Bitter voices came from the mouths of the several priests who left the temple, full of despair, and this emotion spread to the entire city-state like an infectious disease.

But not everyone is like them.

Several young people who were already bold and rebellious were aroused by the power that fell from the sky.

They strained their necks to raise their heads, straightened their backs stubbornly, and tried their best to stand up from their kneeling position.

In a trance, his eyes traveled through the distorted time and space, and he actually saw the figure standing in front of the god.

There were also seven Pokémon surrounding him, refusing to give an inch.

A chaotic situation, a shocking huge explosion, and the despairing wrath of God...

All this makes it impossible for them to discern what the battle happening in the distance is about.

But a subtle emotion spread in my heart.

They realized that the true identity of Warcraft was, as Damos said, not a tool, but a companion in life.

This is true even when facing God directly.

"Someone is stopping it! Someone can stop it!"

The young man, whose face was flushed under the pressure of the divine power, relied on his gifted brute strength to stand up, break through the barrier, and send his hoarse shouts into the distance.

One has two.

Starting from a small corner, people who dared to raise their heads joined their shouts into one.

A blurry shadow was projected in the sky.

That is a distant scene.

People saw the figure that had been tortured by the terrifying liquid metal and was no longer human, but was still looking for it.

That was their beloved king.

Beside him were monsters that jumped into the pool one after another.

Blue light shot out from the two blurry black shadows and wrapped around them.

Although it was just a drop in the bucket, he still tried hard to block the erosion of highly toxic substances and gain just a few moments.

The hoarse roar gradually subsided, replaced by solemn emotions and a silent cry from the bottom of his heart.

More and more citizens overcame their fear of gods and inner cowardice and stood up from the hard stone floor.

They clasped their hands and prayed for the struggling king and the stranger who came from nowhere.

Only this time, the object of prayer is no longer a god.

Indescribable emotions turned into invisible power, condensed into mortal thoughts, and pierced the darkness.

A young civilization is stepping out of its infancy and making its first silent cry.

【...I remember you. 】

A light silvery gray spreads in Arceus's eyes, or rather, the entire world centered on it.

There was no rage or any emotion.

The wound on his chest healed instantly, and his cold eyes no longer contained any emotion.

The restless power overflowed from it, and Philio finally saw its true appearance.

It is no different from the silver water in the pool, but it is concentrated countless times, and contains an aura that makes people palpitate.

It also revealed an incredible fact.

When the terrifying meteorite was smashed, the invincible creator not only lost his slate, but was also contaminated by this strange power.

All this was far beyond Philio's cognition.

The whole world became unrecognizable in his eyes.

[Everything will cease to exist except memory. 】

After pronouncing the fate of Midina and even all things, Arceus closed his eyes that had been completely soaked in silver gray.

A dazzling glow lit up from its body, as if it was another sun rising in the sky under a total solar eclipse.

However, this sun carries the power of coldness rather than warmth, and destruction rather than creation.

"You're not ashamed of your words...I've already memorized your routine, it's nothing special..."

Gently wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, the white gloves were also dyed with a touch of sad red, and under the cold light, they gained a bit of evil beauty out of thin air.

"I now understand what Master said about change and balance... However, I am not old yet. As long as I am still standing on this land, even if you come here with seventeen stone slabs, I have to let you go. Leave something behind before you leave!"

His pale face could not conceal the wantonness in his eyes.

Superpowers as vast as the ocean surged out of the body and turned into boundless turbulence.

After sleeping for several months, the powerful ability to rewrite all things awakened again, heading towards the scroll of creation that turned creation into destruction.

In the dark, figures that he had never met before, but which made Arceus feel a little afraid at this moment, appeared behind him.

"Bowman!"

After struggling to pull out its head from the ground, the Tyrannosaurus stood staggeringly in front of Filio and issued a challenge to the great Creator with a powerful roar.

A faint but firm light poured into its body from behind, but it no longer only came from its own partners, but from this fragile but tough world, from every person who longed for survival but was not afraid of destruction. among free souls.

【Arrogant! 】

The silver-gray eyes opened again, and the powerful divine power condensed to the limit turned into a huge ball of light, carrying Arceus' inexplicable anger and a trace of fear hidden under the anger, and crashed down.

"You are the one who is arrogant! Tyrannosaurus, let it see our size! Charge at your own risk!"

"Bowman!—"

Carrying the expectations of its partners and the prayers and wishes of countless living beings, the already extremely strong body of the Tyrannosaurus actually expanded by three points in an instant.

The colorful light lit up again.

After a moment of respite, it forcibly launched its second round of mega evolution.

The surging and burning flames turned into a ferocious dragon head, roaring unyieldingly towards the world-destroying blow falling from the sky.

Countless points of light overflowed from their bodies, and the repulsive force from this world came belatedly.

It was too late to prevent anything from happening.

The powerful power has reached the limit that humans, or all life, can achieve.

Even if the old Zygarde was in front, he had to retreat in the face of the powerful impact of thousands of lives and time and space powers, otherwise his life would be in danger.

But under the fierce attack of Arceus, this is still like a mantis trying to use its arms as a chariot.

The dazzling white light pierced the darkness, but it was not the end of the total solar eclipse, but the arrival of murderous intent to destroy the world.

After using up all his strength and burning all his potential, Filio sat down weakly on the ground.

Beside him were his friends who had lost consciousness.

Even the two orbs that carried the endless laws of time and space became dim, and they were tightly held in the arms of Emperor Nabo and Sun Ibrahimovic, who did not let go until they fell asleep.

"M...Machi...!"

Holding on to his last breath, the dream demon struggled to fly towards Philio and landed on top of his head.

Just like watching the sunset countless times in the past, he watched the final blow of the Tyrannosaurus and Arceus without evading it, and waited for a result.

Birth or death, this is a simple choice.

[Everyone has his own mission. When the human part is completed, the rest is the realm of God. 】

The moment before the collision, the same words sounded in Filio's heart again, but the meaning was completely different.

Before he finished speaking, the flowing time and space seemed to have pressed the pause button, and even Arceus' ferociousness did not change at all.

The endless void appeared in front of Philio's eyes.

The beautiful silver-white figure came from afar, crossed the long river of time, broke the most essential rules, and stood beside him, standing opposite to herself in another timeline.

The huge repulsive force caused ripples in the surrounding space, but it could not stop Arceus, who had seventeen stone tablets, from displaying his power in front of his "ancient self" who did not know how many years ago.

The golden front foot stepped lightly, and all the stone slabs surrounded it, condensing everything in the world into one, including the upcoming sanctions light gravel.

"Swish"

Time resumed its flow, and like the gentle sound of the breeze, the mighty Judgment Light was wiped cleanly from the world and turned into nothingness.

The ancient Arceus, who was still aggressive just now, was full of confusion and was firmly bound in place by his other self from the modern era.

The Mega Flying Dragon, which was already ready for a decisive blow, fell into a coma and slowly landed on the ground driven by gentle divine power.

Two Arceus appeared in one world at the same time.

This may be a magnificent sight that has never been seen before, and probably will never be seen again in the future.

The belief and cognitive system of the Midina people suffered an unprecedented impact.

At the same time, the torrent of memories poured out with the arrival of the current Arceus, pouring into the body of the ancient Arceus.

The gentle but mighty divine power cleansed its body, pulling out strands of silver-gray matter from its body.

That was the damage caused by the meteorite, and it was also a "poison" originating from another world that was enough to destroy the will of the gods.

Qixin's betrayal caused Arceus to fall into a long sleep. It took him an unknown number of years to truly recover and regain the sanity and emotions that belonged to the God of Creation.

At the same time, it also allowed it to see another, more terrifying possibility sleeping in history.

For its own people and messengers, and for its own promises, it paid a huge price and gave everything to its past self, allowing it to find its own reason and emotions in silence.

In the ruined temple, seeing the god he believed in split into two before his eyes, Damos froze on the spot, unable to even take care of the pain coming from his hands.

As Arceus emerged from the void, the pain disappeared in an instant.

Feeling the gaze of his most trusted friend, Arceus slowly turned his head, a humane smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the stone slabs surrounding him fell off one by one and rose into the sky.

Colorful glow ripples in the sky.

First came the heavy earth, then the gentle water, and then the restless fire.

The three basic elements intertwined in the air until they encountered thunder full of destruction and vitality.

Under the bombardment of thunder, mutually incompatible forces merged into one, and the dragon symbolizing power also fell from the sky at this moment.

Memories that became increasingly blurred as time passed awakened in Damos's heart.

This is how he received the key to the restoration of Midina from the gods many years ago.

Now, a new source of life has gathered again.

The shocking power breaks through the shackles of the silver water and is closely connected to the source of life hidden at the bottom of the pool, building a bridge of energy.

[Why don’t you go and take it out?This is your job, no one can do it for you. 】

The gentle voice resounded through Damos' heart again after many years, causing tears to well up in the corners of his eyes.

Following the guidance of the divine power, the big hand wrapped with thick light reached the bottom of the pool again and gave it a heavy squeeze.

It was a real touch, a physical memory left by countless touches.

"Drink!—"

Resisting the weight and resistance of the mercury, as well as the corrosion that was always entangled with the superpower, Damos used all his strength to pull upward.

"crash"

The thick silver water cannot stop it again.

The green light began to shine, and the dusty source of life was revealed again.

"Shh-"

The dazzling bridge of light spans the entire temple, shining on the surface of the Silver Water. Wisps of "mist" rise and disappear in the mid-air.

Lines of light split from the light ball and turned into attribute slates full of regular beauty.

This is the basis of the rules that make up this world, and it is also the incarnation of Arceus, the god of creation.

In the silent gaze, the ancient Arceus stood quietly, the indifference in his eyes dissipated as the silver water dissipated and was annihilated.

The tenderness when they first met Damos appeared on its face again.

"..."

Nodding slightly, the two creators stood side by side.

The power that is enough to rewrite the entire material world is integrated under the combined power of the two gods.

The same perfect body was completely lit up.

The meteorite from another world, and its last traces left in the world, were completely destroyed by the earth-shattering power.

Not only did it die in this world, but it was also completely wiped out in time and space, leaving no trace at all.

There is only an empty pool and the everlasting memory to prove that they once existed.

The total solar eclipse has ended, and the clear sunshine shines on the vibrant wilderness, covering the flawless white Arceus with a layer of golden gauze.

"Great Creator, please forgive me for my ignorance and weakness. Midina broke her promise."

Outside the gate of the temple, Damos bent down with guilt and apologized to Arceus who had returned to calm.

Around him, people gathered from all over Midina, watching the king's back.

[...Indeed, Midina broke her promise to return the source of life on time. 】

After a long silence, Arceus looked at his future self hidden in the void and spoke slowly.

"..."

Damos's heart sank and he let out a silent sigh.

[But that’s not the case. 】

When the conversation changed, Arceus looked joking.

Perhaps influenced by the living Arceus, it was amused by Damos' frightened appearance.

After a brief observation, it no longer teased its devout believers and said loudly:

[Damos, you have fulfilled another agreement and created a fertile land suitable for people to live. Although there are still many problems, I believe that you will get better and better. 】

Lifting into the sky, Arceus looked down at the vibrant plateau and wilderness, his brows and eyes filled with joy and relief.

[This place is still too small. Maybe one day, you will step down from the giant peak of Midina and move towards a wider world. 】

[At that time you will find that compared to the source of life, the power of life is the source of all things. 】

[I will watch all this and bless you. 】

The gods are hidden in the high sky, and countless golden light spots are scattered, carrying the creator's sincere wishes.

In the void, Arceus, who came from this world, also showed a relieved smile.

Taking a deep look at its past self hidden in the sky, the corners of its mouth raised slightly.

A wisp of naughty wind blew out, ruffled its mane, and sent the last "parting gift".

The world's repulsive force is getting stronger and stronger, and even it doesn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

What incarnates all things and rules is its omnipotent body that split and died with the creation of the world, not this powerful clone that has its own limitations.

It is the bearer and user of rules, rather than the master of them.

But before leaving, there is something to face.

"Arceus, we need to talk. From the initial suspicion to the final rescue, it's quite a coincidence. Don't you have anything to say?"

With a sneer and the dream demon gearing up above his head, Philio quietly came to Arceus and asked sinisterly.

A big hand has quietly been placed on its head.

【……what are you saying?Chaomeng is already waiting there impatiently, let’s go back first. 】

Arceus had a harmless smile on his face.

It is obviously an invincible creator, but for some reason, it always feels a little short of breath when it sees Philio and the little dream demon protesting.

Not giving Philio a chance to continue his attack, Arceus' eyes narrowed, and the spatial repulsion turned into a pushing force away from him.

With a flash of white light, it protected Filio and his party and escaped into the long river of time again, leaving this world that did not belong to them.

In the current world, at the ruins of Midina, her body became almost translucent while sleeping, and Hina, whose breath was faint, slowly woke up under Kebin's worried gaze.

The body that had almost disappeared re-solidified, a timeline became stable again, and she who had almost disappeared also re-established her existence.

"The Judgment of Arceus...seems to have disappeared, and there are many more...fuzzy things in my head."

It is no longer a barren wilderness, but has become a fertile land full of greenery even in winter.

A stone slab that has been washed away by the years and still stands, appears unexpectedly but naturally in the open space outside the temple ruins.

Although she had never met him, she felt happy whenever she saw this scene.

Following the magical Super Kick, she seemed to see the kind face of her ancestor, and saw the Pokémon surrounding him three times inside and three outside.

And...a few figures hidden in the dark, unable to be seen clearly no matter what.

The endless years have not erased the traces of these people who stayed in the past.
