Fairy trip

For Arceus, who was already exhausted, this kind of consumption cost half his life again on the original basis.

And when the gem of life was stolen...he entered the weakest state since birth.

Fell into the realm of legend.

This level made it impossible for him to maintain his transcendent status in the world; the three ambushes of the Shadow Council made him even more injured.

In the last battle of being "captured", Arceus even released his last remaining strength to resist.

However, it was still a game of chess.

Fortunately, the controlled genesis slate added a little bit of consumption—although the power of the genesis slate was not in his hands, and he couldn't even use the power to call and control the slate.

But after all, this is the most suitable prop for him.

It can even be said to be gratifying that he didn't die suddenly on the spot.

But now...

Losing the support of the stone slab, the divine body that fell into the realm of legends was hit by the light of sanctions above the legends.

Although it was to completely wipe out Jodon's consciousness, but...

It's so hard to live.

"Slate can save you."

"..."

"Yes."

The Genesis Tablet is Arceus' distraction.

There is definitely no way to take the slate away from others in this weak state, but if the controller takes the initiative to let go of the slate.

The power of creation will spontaneously approach Arceus.

But the crux of the problem is not here.

----

"Why am I here?"

"..."

Some nonsensical questions from Aoyama made Arceus fall into silence.

But he didn't have time to hesitate.

"A pure accident, not a choice of fate."

"I didn't interfere in it either—if there is such a thing as fate, then I am also a pawn manipulated by fate."

"This human being took away the gem of life that stabilized time and space, and a gap was created in the walls between the worlds."

"Qingshan, this is the root cause of your time travel here."

"And in the end, he died at the hands of you, the time traveler."

"This is your karma, or... destiny."

Jordan explained to Aoyama.

But Aoyama didn't believe everything, he hoped to inquire from Arceus to see if he could get a different answer.

But Arceus' answer was no different from Jodon's.

The only difference is——

"I didn't choose you, I chose her."

Arceus' eyes moved from Aoyama to Sode.

"The one who chooses you is also her."

"...as a homeless person."

Arceus' words made Aoyama frowned unconsciously.

"What do you mean?"

"She's dying."

"!?"

"While still an egg, this Sixtails is dying."

"Not every life can break out of the shell. This six-tailed... When she was still an elf egg, she was about to die due to congenital deficiencies."

"Six Tails' parents tried everything, but they couldn't bring her back from the brink of death - that's why you didn't see the other Nine Tails."

"Liuwei's parents are not native Pokémon in Daxueshan, they chose to leave this sad place."

"I saved her."

"At that time, I was trying my best to avoid being chased and killed. Not only could I not use the power of the stone slabs, but they also became my burden."

"so......"

"I 'given' all the thousand-cosmic wrist and the eight creation stones to this unborn little guy."

"I see."

"I understand the fate she will face in the future."

"But compared to that, compared to what's going on here."

"To be alive is already the luckiest thing."

"And such a life that has not yet been fully born will subconsciously choose to move closer to the life that is closest to her when she is at her darkest."

"Usually, this would be the Pokémon's parent."

"And when the parents are away..."

"You, Qingshan, who were born to death and created from nothing, are the closest life."

----

No one has ever told Qing Shan about this.

It is also impossible for someone to narrate with Qingshan.

Even as the leader of the party involved, I am afraid that he was in a hazy state at that time.

hazy...

"Are you watching all this?"

"My consciousness is hidden in the wrist of the universe... The 'Arzeus' communicating with you now is exactly my consciousness stored in the wrist of the universe."

"The body has been invaded...Although you think I am suppressed by this human consciousness."

"But in fact, as long as the spirit existing in the main body is not completely dead, no one can control me."

"Everything I know now is the product of the fusion of the memory left in the body and the consciousness."

Arceus continued.

"And... after confirming that this six-tailed animal can survive."

"My consciousness is completely asleep - keeping my will in a state of waking up alone will consume a lot of mental power and increase the risk of being discovered by the enemy."

"Except for a few critical moments, I have never woken up."

Arceus knew everything.

But his time is actually running out.

Although there are no short clips of speech, the voice of telepathy is getting smaller and smaller.

"Thank you, Arceus."

"Then, one last question."

Except for the issue involving sleeves, Aoyama's tone was as flat as ever.

And the reason for this blandness is because of the last sentence that Aoyama is about to ask.

"Without the slate, what will happen to the sleeve?"

"..."

Aoyama stared closely at Arceus' eyes, the sharp gaze even made Arceus tend to dodge.

Aoyama did not force Arceus back.

Because this question involves more than just two lives.

If it is like Qingshan guessed.

"She will leave."

Just like... Aoyama guessed.

Those four short words were as heavy as a thousand weights when Arceus uttered them.

"Phoenix King can resurrect life."

"Zerneas can share eternal life."

"And you, Arceus."

"As the god of creation, the only supreme god on the throne."

"Resurrecting life is not difficult for you...is it?"

The gazes of one person and one god met in the air like this, and the cold aura made the cold wind dare not approach even the slightest bit.

"Qingshan."

"You are the tallest person in this world."

Arceus didn't answer Aoyama's question directly, but his meaning no longer required an answer.

Qingshan himself once said that when the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up.

And now, the tallest person in the entire Pokémon world has indeed become him.

"You can't do it?"

"...I can do it, but I don't even know how long it will take."

"How much time it takes to create a world that can reproduce life, I have almost forgotten such a long time ago."

"But create them."

Arceus glanced over Dialga, Palkia and Giratina from the corner of his eye.

"I consumed nearly one-third of the energy in my heyday at one time, and this process lasted for hundreds of centuries."

"How long did it take me to sleep in the initial period before I recovered, and it was too long to remember."

"They are a manifestation of the power of the rules in part of the world."

"But even with the power of such rules, they are only high-level legends. If Giratina wants to show the power of the peak of legends, it needs the support of the full operation of the reverse world."

"And now..."

Arceus looked at this, the Nine-Tails, who could be called a child, continued with his life.

"Even without the blessing of the slate, she is already a life of high legend or even the pinnacle of legend."

"To revive her, at least I have to wait until my strength is fully restored."

"This process, and the time it takes after that..."

Arceus didn't continue talking.

At that time, it is hard to say whether human beings will still exist, but the existing civilization may have already reincarnated more than once.

Aoyama, a human being......

"Can I live for so long, the tens of millions of years you mentioned just now, or even... hundreds of millions of years."

Aoyama raised a question that Arceus hadn't thought of at all.

Although his expression was still flat, Arceus had already seen the deep buried emotion that he was trying to suppress.
