This elf world is kind of weird

"So, what about the impatient Mewtwo you mentioned? Where did you throw such a big cat that I left here?"

In the Hall of Beginning, where everything was as usual, Philio was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with the angry dream demon above his head, who seemed to be refusing to leave without giving an explanation.

[Who is the cat you put here? Do you want to die? 】

Before Arceus could say anything, Chaomeng, who had been hiding in Tianguan Mountain and waiting silently, dodged, broke into the protection outside the Palace of Beginnings, opened a skylight for Arceus' "lair", fell heavily to the ground, and glared at Fei fiercely. Leo glanced.

【…】

Arceus raised his head and looked at the Temple of Beginning with a big hole in it. He couldn't laugh or cry. He could only pretend that nothing happened and rejoin the fragments to restore the temple to its original state.

The family was not rich, so they had to make repairs for another three years.

"Oh, as long as you're fine, Darkrai's unlucky thing must have returned to Poplar Town, so don't worry about it."

He stood up nonchalantly and patted Mewtwo on the shoulder. Filio stood side by side with Mewtwo without any embarrassment and looked at Arceus, who had turned into a tinker, seriously.

"Now there is only one question left. Arceus, are you deliberately playing tricks on me?"

Rather than debating right and wrong with your own big cat, now is the time to be consistent with the outside world.

Although everyone was happy in the end, it was also true that he was almost turned into a human specimen by the ancient Arceus, not to mention the huge pain of forcibly controlling the energy of time and space.

Especially the Tyrannosaurus who hasn't woken up yet, his whole body is shining with different lights, his aura is getting stronger but he looks very painful.

Thinking of this, Philio just felt like he was filled with anger. He, who was always unreasonable and unforgiving, pressed towards Arceus aggressively.

[This...restoration timeline has a long history and tradition, and there are many trainers who have this experience...]

Arceus's expression became dull, his eyes were blurred, and he slowly began to talk nonsense.

Philio clenched his fists: "I'm asking you if you were trying to trick me! Do you dare to say that you didn't know what kind of character you were at that time? You also lied to me and said that you were going to investigate whether Damos deceived you. That’s quite a lot!”

[...! 】

After a long silence, Arceus took a few steps back without leaving a trace, slightly increasing the distance between him and Filio and Dream Demon, but suddenly found that Chaomeng had silently blocked him behind him.

Looking to the left and right, what came into view was the tense and pretty faces of Nazi and Korni.

[… Damos, the matter in Midina is very complicated, and it is necessary to investigate clearly…]

"You still said you haven't seen my memories?! You're having a lot of fun doing this one thing after another! Why didn't I realize you were such a crooked person when we first met?"

Without waiting for Arceus to say anything, Philio directly used the interrupting skill, jumped directly onto Arceus' back, grabbed the mane on top of his head and pulled hard.

[It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... I won’t pretend anymore!Stop pretending!I admit I didn't tell you the whole truth! 】

Although to Arceus, this small amount of power was nothing, but knowing that it was somewhat unreasonable, it still bent down cooperatively, lying on the ground, and let out a cry of pain in a dignified manner.

At this moment, the majesty of the Creator God disappeared.

After a while, Arceus regained his majesty as a god. His tall and straight body shone with crystal white light, making him holy and noble.

Only the messy mane betrayed its fate.

[According to what you said before, we should have formed a fate. You are so resentful. 】

The plain words were vaguely aggrieved, but when it thought about what it had done during this period, it was very self-aware and chose to give the wronged Philio a small privilege.

This is also part of the rules.

Thinking like this, Arceus felt a little better.

"I've never seen anyone hide something from their friends."

Giving Arceus an annoyed sideways glance, Philio was already used to his soliloquy and spiritual victory.

With a wave of his hand, several soft chairs appeared in the empty starting hall.

"This time, we have suffered a lot because of your little thoughts. Emperor Nabo and the others were all seriously injured, and the Tyrannosaurus still hasn't woken up. I'm looking for a reason from you, but Let’s divide it.”

Shi Shiran leaned on the chair, crossed his legs, and passed by the ancient group. Philio, who had no respect for Arceus, felt more relaxed than at home.

[This thing...it sounds unpleasant to say, but eliminating that weird metal is not only helpful to me, it is also a very important task for the world. 】

The omniscient and omnipotent God also showed a bit of embarrassment, a bit embarrassed in his entanglement, and also a bit secretive.

"It is very important to this world... I have always wanted to know this. According to the legend, the entire world should have been created by you, or the one that has disappeared, your body."

When it came to the topic, Filio also became more energetic. He held his chin with one hand and asked the question that had puzzled him in Midina.

What is the origin of that weird silver water, a mercury mutant from another world, that can hurt Arceus and make it willing to pay a huge price or find someone to return to ancient times to solve it?
Moreover... Arceus was still in this period of history when he did not encounter a direct attack from Silver Water, but was only injured by smashing a meteorite.

Vaguely, Philio felt as if he had touched the secrets and core message of the world.

Korni and Nazi also pricked up their ears. Although they were confused, they were also very interested in such secrets and wanted to hear the truth.

Only Chaomeng pretended not to care, crossed his arms and turned his head in disdain, but the little dream monster, who saw through it at a glance, half pushed his head and half listened.

[You guys...this cannot be leaked. You must not spread it. 】

Sensing everyone's curiosity, Arceus didn't want to keep hiding it. Arceus, who trusted a few people, just sighed and told him the secret of the creation of the world.

It is not false that this world was created by Arceus.

In the primitive universe where there was only chaos and where even the concepts of time and space did not exist, it was the almost omnipotent Arceus himself who created the world as if Pangu had opened the sky.

Create matter and spirit, create all the rules, and give them real existence with your own life.

This is a great initiative from scratch, and it can also be said to be a self-sacrifice.

Since then, there has been no real "Creator God Arceus", only clones in each parallel world that are independent of each other and can neither merge nor interfere with each other.

Each avatar has its own personality, and its different experiences lead the world to different paths. This is also the so-called countless possibilities of the world.

But the world in which Arceus incarnates is not a complete universe, but only a part of it.

In the unknown realm that has exhausted all perceptions, there are still many mysterious things, some of which can even threaten this independent world and even destroy the rules forged by Arceus with his life.

Nothing remains the same except change itself.

A clone as powerful as Arceus is just the executor of the rules. It has the highest authority, but it cannot be higher than the rules themselves, and it is not necessarily able to defeat things outside the rules, such as that piece of land that comes from nowhere and suddenly appears. Meteorites on the edge of this planet.

Even the world itself sometimes expands and sometimes collapses, and is in a dynamic balance.

Omniscient and omnipotent is an exaggeration rather than a true fact.

[That is to say, you are not as powerful as you think. 】

Sitting cross-legged on the soft cushion next to Philio, Mewtwo raised his chin, completely forgetting how he was restrained by a blow before.

[...Is this what you are focusing on? 】

Arceus was speechless for a while, too lazy to pay attention to this guy who could also be called "the alien among the aliens" among all Pokémon, and looked at the thoughtful Filio expectantly.

"Huh? What do you want me to do?" Sensing Arceus' gaze, Philio raised his head, fisted his fist, and said excitedly, "I finally understand why you are different from the Arceus everyone remembers. I I thought all Arceus were as old and crooked as you, but it seems it’s just you who can’t do it!?”

【…】

After deeply doubting his own vision of people, Arceus closed himself off.

[It’s really no surprise that you two can get together.Also, although I saw a little bit of something in your dissipated mental power, it is obviously what you like. Why do you think I am not serious? 】

His disgusted eyes glanced back and forth at Filio and Mewtwo, looking up and down at this strange pair.

"You've learned how to rake things backwards, and you don't know who you learned all these fancy things from."

With his eyes widened, Felio stood up suddenly with a guilty conscience and looked at Arceus fiercely.

【you. 】

Arceus answered without hesitation, and the shattered God of Creation chose to self-destruct.

This is indeed the case. With the help of the transmission of the power of time and space, Arceus, who saw part of Philio's memory by chance, was really more or less influenced by him.

Although it's a little off track.

Philio said sternly: "That's nonsense. How could I like to do this kind of thing? This is slander."

[I don’t think so, you are also a crook. 】

Chaomeng chose to make up for it with a playful look and a leisurely tone.

Nazi and Korni also took two steps back, thinking of Philio's usual cynical appearance, and nodded slightly.

The movement was not big, but it caused him [-] points of real damage.

"Machi~!"

Even the little dream demon decisively abandoned him and flew leisurely into the air, smiling happily.

There was a happy air in the palace.

"you……"

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Philio, who was "betrayed and separated from his relatives", felt as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart. He exaggeratedly covered his chest and sighed.

"Let's get down to business. We made such a big noise there this time, and it won't have any impact on the future. Listen to what you just said, even if you want to settle such a matter, it will take a lot of effort, right? "

[Of course, but the result is good, that’s enough. 】

"After all, you really didn't boast that much, right Mewtwo?"

【really. 】

【You two...! 】

The huge damage caused by resisting the time paradox and repairing the timeline surged wildly in Arceus' body, and the tall alpaca's face turned green and white.

The restless power of rules boiled in the palace. Arceus, whose dignity had been impacted, decided that he no longer needed to endure it. A tide of energy surged towards the duo, both big and small, singing and singing together.

And the little dream monster lying on top of Philio's head watching the show happily.

"M...Machi?!"

"Boom——" The fire of the explosion spread rapidly, leaving only three figures spitting out black smoke and falling to the ground.

After a while, the smoke disappeared and all the evidence of guilt was gone.

"Machi! Machi Machi!"

The Dream Demon, which was fried on the outside and tender on the inside by the perfect high temperature shock, puffed up its face and was filled with righteous indignation, flying around Arceus' head, chattering non-stop.

The delicate hair exploded in the high temperature, looking like an angry little pufferfish and turning into a little hedgehog.

But soon, the glimmer of light emerging from Arceus turned his anger into joy.

"Shh-"

The light spot that contains the essential power of "creation", the common source of all rules, looks inconspicuous. It is just a small particle that sinks into the dream monster's body without leaving a trace.

"Madge? Madge!"

The surging airflow instantly enveloped the complaining little dream demon, turning it into a burning flame. Even the fried and withered hair regained its luster, and the roots stood upright, shooting straight into the sky.

"call--"

The powerful overlord aura rushed out of its body, dyeing the huge palace with a dark color.

The momentum is rising steadily, like a bird soaring ninety thousand miles, unstoppable.

"This is... Supa's little dream monster?"

Looking at the Super Saiyan-like appearance, Filio rubbed his eyes hard, a little unbelievable.

[Maybe it can be Supa Little Dream Demon 2. 】

With a slightly playful wink, Arceus showed a witty smile, raised his front legs slightly, and another light point flew into the air and exploded.

"Crack-"

In an instant, the burning flames turned into jets of air, and lightning flashed faintly.

After spending his precious power, the powerful and willful Creator did not forget to show off his cosplay skills.

The culture and concepts from another world seem to have opened a door to a new world for it, and it has been out of control ever since.

Philio was speechless for a while: "So, can't you watch something meaningful?"

[You can go, and so can I. ] Arceus answered of course.

"You are Kou, and you have learned how to be yin and yang, right?" Filio rolled his eyes. He always felt that Arceus's growth path had completely gone astray, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad. "But... what is this? Condition?"

[A small gift, a gift between friends, just like you said. 】

The aloof gods lost their lofty colors and fell into the mortal world, smiling warmly.

"Boom"

As he spoke, the elf balls on Filio's waist exploded one after another, white light flashed, and the entire palace suddenly seemed a bit crowded.

Just when all the Pokémon were confused, a ball of light was spit out from Arceus' mouth, rising into the air, and a dense rain of light fell downwards.

In the blink of an eye, small cocoons of light enveloped them all, leaving only the sound of long breathing.

"This is...a slate?!"

Feeling the familiar aura, Filio blurted out.

[That’s right, but it’s not just that. I see your path. 】

Meaningful eyes swept over Nazi and Korni's bodies. Arceus's smile had a more malicious flavor, it was narrow and teasing, making the two of them blush slightly.

Being observed by a god who had grown up listening to legends and stories with such a gaze, even the confident women were a little unable to resist.

However, the two of them obviously did not fully understand Arceus' intentions.

The path it talks about is not just a joke.

The white beam of light shot out of the body, and the sanctioned light turned into the bud of creation. When it shined on Nazi, it was a deep super power. When it came to Korni, it turned into a surging waveguide.

"Huh!"

"Luka!"

With just enough time to let out an exclamation, Hu Di and Lucario seemed to be attracted by a huge magnet, clinging to their respective trainers' sides and falling asleep in the blue light.

They used their special abilities to help Damos, and received rewards commensurate with their efforts. This was the order of Arceus, which was fair and decent, without any deviation.

[Phew...I feel much more relaxed now, but I have to thank you one more time, Philio.This time it was your courage and will that rewrote history and saved many people, including me.Even though you don’t see it that way yourself.So please accept my thanks. 】

His tall and straight body shrank to the size of a person. Arceus lowered his head, exposed his smooth back, and solemnly thanked him.

"!"

Even the arrogant Mewtwo subconsciously dodged and stepped aside, leaving Filio alone to face Arceus.

"I'm used to your rude look just now, but I'm not used to being so serious now." Felio, whose heartbeat accelerated slightly and forced himself to be calm, stepped forward, smoothed the mane on Arceus' head, and attached it to It whispered in its ear, "If I'm not mistaken, are you having a hard time standing now?"

[I was discovered by you, but it’s not that outrageous, just a small problem. 】

Arceus raised his head, smiled freely, and admitted it frankly.

"Two you cannot appear at the same time. To resolve this paradox, it is definitely not as easy as you said. But I heard that your spiritual world is wailing. In other words, it started from the moment you appeared. So. What can I do?"

The gentle super power transformed into a special form that no one knew about, slowly seeping into Arceus' body, nourishing its almost dry body.

At the moment of spiritual fusion, not only did Arceus see his heart, but also vice versa.

However, the majestic memories accumulated over countless years are only the tip of the iceberg in front of Philio's eyes. This is also the most essential difference between long-lived species and short-lived species.

Long time may not be heavy, but it must be deep enough.

Being short may not be shallow, but it must be weak.

[Do something...after I fall asleep, how about being my messenger for a while?With this big cat you left here. 】

With his eyebrows crooked, Arceus, who had been brewing for a long time, suddenly saw this.

"You know how to choose the right time. Now I really can't refuse. After all, your salary has been paid in advance, right? You really haven't learned my advantages."

With one hand he held down Mewtwo, who was so angry that he wanted to rush up to Arceus to fight for three hundred rounds, and with the other hand he held his forehead, and Philio laughed dumbly.

【Each other.And, I'll give you a price you can't refuse. 】

What responded to him was the snickering of a little (crossed out) old fox who had succeeded in his plan.

High in the sky, in an independent space-time gap.

Away from the crowded Hall of Beginning, in this temporarily opened alien space, Arceus and Philio sat opposite each other, next to Mewtwo who had his legs crossed and a swollen bump on the top of his head.

With an understatement, Arceus proved that even if he was not at his peak, he was still not at a level that ordinary first-level gods could challenge.

In this regard, Chaomeng, who has always had a high self-esteem, was not convinced, but he could only hold his chest and sulk alone, thinking about opening a mega evolution when the matter was over, so that this old thing could see how powerful he was.

With the blessing of the spiritual victory method, it was immersed in its own inner world, and the corners of its mouth raised unconsciously, making the two people next to it shudder.

[Is it thinking about something not so good?In other words, the blow I just hit on its head was a little too heavy? 】

Arceus, who was confused by Mewtwo's appearance, felt a little unsure.

"Hmm... I'm probably thinking about how to beat you up, or whether to use X mode or Y mode."

After scratching his chin gently, Philio, who had been with him for a long time, could see through the big cat's inner world that he understood well, and glanced at Arceus with evil intentions.

Not only Mewtwo, but he also had the idea of ​​​​finding an opportunity to beat it up after being plotted against it again.

If it weren't for being unable to defeat it, it would have been put into practice long ago.

But now is definitely not the time to talk about this.

"Ahem... don't worry about it, just let it stay on its own." After clearing his throat forcefully, Filio looked solemn, "Tell me, what is your offer that I can't refuse?"

[Knowledge, the most important knowledge for you now. 】

Arceus's eyes suddenly lit up, and the look at that moment was unforgettable.

In the blink of an eye, the empty space-time rift turned into a neat library.

There are scattered books on the rows of bookshelves. Some are so old that they are covered with dust, and some are as if they are brand new from the factory. If you count them carefully, there are exactly eighteen rows.

Driven by curiosity, Philio subconsciously reached out his hand and reached for the book that happened to appear in front of him, with an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"click"

The moment he touched it, the book fell down with a sound, opened the title page, and lit up with golden light.

When the light faded, Philio was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

The book remained open and rested on his lap. Every page was blank, but it seemed to be beating with tiny and unfamiliar symbols.

[You have already blazed your own path, but it is far from enough. Take this rare opportunity to settle down.And... this man-made legend, you are really the most suitable partner... Then I will...]

Quietly looking at Filio, whose consciousness has entered another tiny fragmented world, Arceus raised his forelimbs with some difficulty, condensed a point of light, fell on Chaomeng's body, and turned into a faint light. It shrouded.

With a flash of blue light, its figure was moved to the Hall of Beginning.

After finishing all this, Arceus let out a long breath and slowly lay down on the ground, with a hint of uncontrollable exhaustion in his eyes.

And just above its head, a crack appeared faintly on the smooth ceiling, which was so small that it was difficult to detect. It slowly expanded at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, faintly revealing the turbulent space-time fluctuations in the outside world.

The loss of energy and the backlash of rules are spreading on it, which insists on returning to the past and changing the history that has entangled itself for countless years, giving it invisible but stubborn scars that only a long time can completely heal.

God is also one of the living beings, and everything has a price, and no exception will be made for anyone alone.

Even if it's Arceus. (End of chapter)
