Chapter 723 The First God’s Killing
"Shrabah, wish for healing."
The clear, neutral voice came from the depths of the spacetime wormhole, as calm as reciting an ancient prayer.
The moment the words fell—
"Wow—"
The Celebi let out a melodious cry, and its large, lake-blue eyes glowed with a gentle pink light.
Its small, emerald-green body spun lightly in the air, with two pure, pink orbs of light containing the blessings of life and time.
It condensed and separated from its chest, like two falling stars, and plummeted down towards the heavily injured Plague and Good Dog below!
Healing Wish – A Psychic-type status move that restores all health and removes all status ailments from teammates at the cost of the user leaving the battlefield.
At this moment, the healing effect of the phantom beast Celebi, which is skilled in healing, has already surpassed the ordinary concept.
It directly borrows the "unharmed moment" from the timeline to provide a comprehensive healing for allies!
"laugh……"
The pink orb precisely pierced the gruesome wound on the plague's chest.
A chilling change occurred.
The pale purple ghost-type energy that had been frantically eroding Rotom's life force after his attack melted away with a "sizzling" sound the moment it touched the pink orb.
The cold, lifeless ghostly power was enveloped by a warm, vibrant energy, which then dissipated from the wound as wisps of green smoke.
The plague caused deep wounds on the chest, so deep that the bone was visible. The muscles and blood vessels moved, connected, and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a video being played in reverse.
The charred flesh lost its deathly color and regained its rosy hue. Even the weakness caused by blood loss was replaced by a surge of vitality within a few breaths.
Another ball of light enveloped the kneeling, awesome dog.
"Woo..."
The dog let out a comfortable whimper. Beneath the charred and shed fur, new purple down sprouted like spring grass; the skin, cracked by the lightning, quickly healed.
The dull, lifeless poison chain scarf began to flow with a deep purple light again, even more solid than before.
The pain and despair in its crimson beastly eyes have vanished, replaced by an even greater ferocity and... a trace of fanatical loyalty to the figure in the sky, a feeling of being saved.
"Die, all of you! Waves and ripples!"
Zhang Heng's roar exploded almost at the same time the healing orb fell!
He knew all too well how monstrous the shirabbi's healing abilities were—he absolutely could not give the enemy a chance to fully recover!
"Roar--!!!"
The water dragon raised its head high, its deep blue energy in its throat compressing wildly! The water vapor surrounding it was instantly evaporated, ionized, and recombined!
A jet of pure white, scorching steam, as large as a century-old tree trunk and churning with ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature inside, roared through space with a piercing shriek as it hurtled towards the Plague and the Awesome Dog who were undergoing treatment!
Water vapor! However—
"absurd."
Celebi merely chirped softly once more. Its red antennae swayed slightly, and two strands of pinkish light emanated from the "magical tablets" within its body, traversing space.
Instantly, two pale pink, semi-transparent energy shields, with ripples of future omens flowing across their surfaces, were woven around the Plague and the Awesome Dog.
The power to foresee the future, and the defenses to be built in advance!
"boom----!!!"
A colossal column of blazing white steam slammed into the pink protective shield! Amidst a deafening explosion, the ultra-high-temperature steam, capable of melting gold and fossils, clashed violently with the future barrier containing the rules of time!
The white and pink energy turbulence exploded like a storm, plowing another ring of scorched furrows into the surrounding ground.
But the protective shield remained completely still. The steam column pounded against it relentlessly, yet it couldn't advance an inch.
It was as if the blow had not struck a physical entity, but rather "a barrier that would inevitably appear at some point in the future, perfectly defending against this attack."
"you wanna die!!!"
Zhang Leiyuan's angry roar was like a thunderclap from the heavens, carrying with it the overwhelming killing intent of the East China champion who had been thoroughly enraged!
He never imagined that anyone would dare to so calmly heal the enemy he had personally wounded in front of him!
"Thorn-"
He abruptly rolled up his right sleeve, revealing a finely crafted, silver-white Z-bracelet that gleamed with a cold metallic sheen.
At the center of the bracelet, a sharp-edged, yellow rhomboid crystal—Electric Z—that sealed a raging thundercloud, was resonating with his boiling rage and boundless spiritual power, bursting forth with dazzling golden lightning!
Zhang Leiyuan stood with his legs apart, his back straight like a dragon, his left hand across his chest, and his right hand raised high to the sky, his five fingers spread as if holding up thunder!
His movements were fierce and sharp, and every posture seemed to resonate with the electrical laws of the universe.
The deep, resonant sound, like the beat of a war drum, carrying an undeniable will, echoed across the battlefield:
"With the heart of thunder—invoking the rage of the heavens—gathering the power of ten thousand jun—summon—"
"Ultimate Volt Lightning Strike!!!"
"Roar! Ro ...
With the trainer's final shout, Thunder Drum roared to the sky, shattering the clouds!
A thick, rainbow-colored energy bridge, as thick as a pillar, was suddenly erected between it and Zhang Leiyuan!
The Z-crystal in Zhang Leiyuan's bracelet exploded with endless electric light, all of which poured into the Thunder Drum!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the sky, the dark thunderclouds spun and collapsed wildly, transforming into a terrifying thundercloud vortex with a diameter of over fifty meters!
At the center of the vortex, golden lightning surged like a boiling ocean!
The next moment, countless golden lightning bolts, as thick as water vats and extremely condensed, burst forth from the vortex. They did not fall randomly, but instead rapidly intertwined, entangled, and merged in mid-air!
In the end, it transformed into a thunderous divine spear that reached the heavens and the earth!
The gun body is made entirely of liquid-like golden lightning plasma, and the space around the gun tip twists and cracks!
This is the ultimate Electric-type Z-Move—Ultimate Volt Slam! When Raikou, the legendary Electric-type Pokémon, unleashes it at full power, its might transcends the realm of mere moves!
Zhang Heng's pupils contracted; this was the first time he had witnessed his father and Meng Lei Gu unleash their full power in the Z-move.
"Sizzle—!!!!!"
The Thunder God Spear moved! It wasn't "shot" out, but rather, at that moment, it was drawn by the spear, heading in the same direction.
It crashed down towards Celebi high in the sky! Its speed surpassed the laws of time and space, leaving a golden spatial rift that could not be healed for a long time wherever the spear tip passed!
However, just as this thunderous spear, powerful enough to kill a god, was about to touch the rabbi—
"Om..."
At the center of the spacetime wormhole, the largest crack rippled outwards.
A figure slowly stepped out from the crack.
He was draped in a pure white cloak, a stark contrast to the standard black attire of the Temple of Creation, which only made him appear more mysterious and sublime.
Beneath the hood of the cloak, a chaotic mask, its gold and white hues interwoven and its patterns seemingly containing the ultimate truths of the universe, covered his face.
The mask appeared chaotic, yet it exuded a strange and awe-inspiring sense of "sanctity."
His appearance was without any earth-shattering pressure or the roar of an energy explosion.
But the moment he stepped onto this battlefield—
"Woo..."
"Roar……"
"absurd……"
All the Pokémon on the battlefield, including Drummer, Swell, Tyranitar, and even the newly recovered Gothammer, involuntarily stiffened slightly.
A divine stirring originating from the depths of life, like invisible ripples, sweeps across their souls.
That unstoppable thunderous spear actually froze almost imperceptibly when its tip was less than ten meters away from Shirabi!
However, Zhang Leiyuan and his son Zhang Heng had a completely different experience from others.
The super-resistance power within Zhang Heng's body resonated more intensely than ever before, like a lake surface tossed with a boulder!
That resonance was not resistance, but a kind of palpitation that was almost like "like attracts like"!
He could clearly sense that the white figure high in the sky contained a power that was of the same origin as his, yet far more vast, more ancient, and also more... twisted!
"It really is him... The figure facing Ho-Oh head-on, that's him..."
Zhang Heng recalled the battle he witnessed a century ago in the Lingling Tower: the epic duel between Armored Mewtwo and Phoenix...
Zhang Leiyuan was struck dumb.
A deep, indescribable sense of intimacy and familiarity surged through his heart like a tidal wave.
The feeling was so sudden, so absurd, yet so real that it made his fingertips go numb.
His gaze was fixed on the white figure, his mind a jumble of confusion—who...is this person?
That clear, neutral voice came again from high above, calm and undisturbed:
"Shrabah, who foresees the future."
"Wow—!"
The shrine responded to the call, and energy swirled above his head, eventually projecting the phantom of the "magic stone tablet," which suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant pink light!
Extremely pure super-energy, mixed with the power bestowed by the stone slab, surged out wildly!
These energies neither attacked nor defended, but rather flowed and wove rapidly in front of the rabbi.
They seem to have penetrated the barriers of time, borrowing the "inevitable" scene from the "future".
A thick, pale pink, diamond-shaped barrier, its surface flowing with countless future possibilities, appeared out of thin air and blocked the path of the Thunder God Spear!
"boom--!!!!"
The thunderous spear that slays gods clashed violently with the predetermined wall of time!
An explosion occurred that defied description.
The energy of gold and pink is no longer annihilation, but a crazy conflict between two different "forces"!
The Thunder want to tear the future apart, while the future tries to deny the Thunder!
The blinding light swallowed everything in sight, and the terrifying shockwave sent up a several-meter-high wave of dust from the already ravaged ground below!
The nearby building debris was blown away and disintegrated like pieces of paper!
However, no matter how the Thunder God Spear struck and unleashed its devastating power, the pale pink Wall of Time remained unmoved.
Like the ancient Wall of Sighs, it has always stood firm.
Ultimate Volt Lightning Strike, blocked head-on by the foresight!
The energy slowly dissipated, the thunderclouds gradually subsided, and the Wall of Time faded away like a phantom.
This is the Psychic-type high-power special attack move - Foresight, with a power of 120. In the game, it is a delayed skill that deals damage to the enemy after two turns.
However, for Pokémon like Celebi, which can manipulate time wormholes, predicting the future becomes an instantaneous tool.
In the center of the battlefield, all was deathly silent.
Only the plague and the awesome dogs, like the most devout believers seeing the true God descend to earth, disregarded their filth and newly healed wounds.
He suddenly knelt down, his forehead slamming hard against the scorched ground with a loud thud, his voice trembling and distorted from extreme excitement and fear.
"My lord! Your subordinate is incompetent! We have suffered heavy losses and the mission has failed! Please... please punish me!!!"
Blood seeped from the wound on his forehead caused by the plague, dripping down the cracks in his purple mask and falling onto the scorched earth, drop by drop.
His heart was filled with a mixture of ecstasy and fear.
To my great delight, this esteemed person actually came in person.
What I fear is that I will be utterly defeated and I don't know what kind of divine punishment I will face.
Because the person who came was the founder of the Temple of Creation, the ultimate faith of all members, and the most mysterious First Divine Punishment!!
