Chapter 247: Yveltal: Lol! I Actually Have A Believer Now!
“So… that one outside groping me all over is your divine envoy?” Xerneas asked.
Terapagos nodded: “That little guy has quite a strong curiosity.”
“I’m leaving first.”
Zygarde coldly tossed down a sentence and then left the mind world.
Xerneas turned its gaze to Terapagos.
Xerneas: “This little guy seems pretty interested in my foot skin.”
Terapagos: “…”
Terapagos felt like it had never been this embarrassed in its life.
I know you humans like gods’ relics, but you wouldn’t fixate on someone’s foot skin, right?
“Could it be that he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to take?” Terapagos said seriously.
Xerneas: “…”
Terapagos earnestly warned: “By the way, when you wake up later, don’t share eternal life with my divine envoy. Just reward him with a fragment of one of your antlers.”
Terapagos knew exactly what Lu Li was pursuing. If that little guy really obtained eternal life, this guy might hole up at home until the world ended.
At that point, forget solving the Earth shattering crisis—getting that unlucky kid to step outside would be a massive act of virtue.
Xerneas nodded.
Xerneas urged: “Alright, I’m waking up. You should leave too.”
Terapagos nodded, then also left the mind world.
Outside world.
Lu Li suddenly felt the tree in front of him shake.
If he weren’t a cultivator, he definitely would have thought it was an illusion.
But now he dared swear to the heavens that the tree in front of him was indeed moving.
Lu Li panicked a bit and retreated two steps.
Soft seven-colored radiance burst from the tree. The light wasn’t blinding, but it made everyone unable to look directly at it.
“Xerneas has awakened!”
The old man trembled and prostrated on the ground, his face full of excitement.
Lu Li shielded the light with his hand, then discreetly activated the immortal spirit eye.
It was a deer-like Pokémon with blue-black coloring. Eight antler-like branches extended from its head, each with two forks at the ends. Each antler was beige, entwined with colorful protrusions in orange, red, purple, and aqua blue, with opposite colors on left and right.
Its head skin was deep blue, with the two antlers growing from either side of its cheeks, their bases extending under its eyes and onto its nose.
Its eyes matched the color of its fur, with X-shaped pupils, and its body also formed an X shape from the front.
Lu Li finally understood why Xerneas was called the X god.
This was just Xerneas’s appearance.
But in the immortal spirit eye.
Xerneas was the manifestation of laws, an indescribable existence.
Almost just a glance, and Lu Li seemed to see the essence of life.
Indescribable knowledge surged madly. He had originally planned to seek out those Unown to explore this world’s essence of life.
But now there was no need.
The moment Xerneas appeared, Lu Li’s mind finally completed quite a bit of Pokémonfication of immortal dao knowledge related to life.
This one harvest far surpassed the time Ho-Oh descended.
“Xerneas is really generous.” Lu Li praised inwardly.
“Little guy, staring at me directly with eyes like that is quite rude. I won’t give you your reward.” Xerneas’s gentle voice rang in Lu Li’s heart.
Lu Li, still immersed in his gains, changed expression.
Damn!
This time it seemed like he picked up sesame seeds and lost a watermelon.
Seeing this, Xerneas felt extremely pleased.
The excuse had come just like that.
Looking at the original body with such rude eyes— it was normal not to give a reward, right?
Almost the instant Xerneas awakened, 100,000 coffins simultaneously rose.
Everyone gazed fanatically at Xerneas, then prostrated on the ground.
If faith had form, the faith on these people at this moment would surely be like stars.
…………
North American Alliance America Region.
Saint Gony City.
Saint Gony City is a border city in the America Region, less than 200 kilometers from the Mo Ge Region.
As a border city, Saint Gony City has always been backward, poor, and overlooked.
But at some point, this city suddenly became bustling.
It seemed to become a holy land for Flying and Dark Attribute trainers, and a forbidden zone for Psychic trainers.
Because here, Flying Type and Dark Attribute Pokémon could grow at extreme speeds, seemingly without bottlenecks or qualification limits.
It was also a forbidden zone for Psychic Type Pokémon, as mental power and space skills would fail in this place.
Saint Gony City turned into a massive military fortress.
The original residents were relocated, then filled with trainers.
Now, Saint Gony City alone has no fewer than 100,000 trainers, and they are all Dark Attribute and Flying Attribute trainers.
Here, Heavenly Kings aren’t exactly everywhere, but you can at least see Flying Type Heavenly King trainers riding Pokémon flying overhead every day, and occasionally spot a few champions.
Today’s Saint Gony City was very lively, because another Heavenly King had advanced to champion.
At the champion advancement celebration banquet.
Newly advanced champion Dark Attribute champion Helge stood on the podium, raising his wine glass high and shouting: “How could the Cocoon of Destruction be a disaster? This is the world’s greatest auspicious omen! To the great god of destruction and death!”
Hearing this, everyone in society raised their hands with faces full of reverence and shouted: “To the greatest god of destruction and death!”
After the crowd quieted, Helge continued: “Ahem! Everyone, the great leader has sent another message. He says it’s time to send the Cocoon of Destruction to the Jiuzhou Region. What do you all think about this?”
“Oppose! How can the Cocoon of Destruction be given to the Jiuzhou Region people? Are they even worthy?”
“Exactly! The god of death and destruction is ours!”
“Even the great leader can’t make us betray our faith!”
“Exactly, the death cult opposes first!”
“The destruction cult opposes just as strongly.”
Hearing the near-unanimous agreement from below, Helge nodded in satisfaction.
This was exactly what he wanted to see.
Only trash trainers like the great leader didn’t know the importance of the Cocoon of Destruction to them.
No exaggeration.
As long as the Cocoon of Destruction stayed in America for a century, America could sweep the entire world!
Banquet second floor, champion meeting room.
“Helge is right. The Cocoon of Destruction absolutely cannot be handed over.” The strongest lead champion said.
The second-seat champion agreed: “Exactly. As long as we have the Cocoon of Destruction, we can form the destruction legion, even the death legion, and one that sweeps the entire world!”
“But how do we reply to the great leader?” The third-seat champion asked, face full of worry.
The fourth-seat champion gritted his teeth: “As long as we reach consensus, no one can take the Cocoon of Destruction from us!”
Except for the lead champion, the others had all advanced to champion thanks to the Cocoon of Destruction, which was why they were reluctant to let it go.
To protect the Cocoon of Destruction, they had even formed two churches. After all, in the America Region, churches had great autonomy, especially powerful ones.
The Cocoon of Destruction was like poison. Everyone knew that once it revived, all things would end.
But until the knife fell on them, everyone held a fluke mentality.
Those peak Heavenly King Level trainers thought luckily that in another year, they could break through to champion, then abandon the Cocoon of Destruction.
Those who had just become champions thought luckily that in another decade, they could glimpse the divine realm, then abandon it after ten years.
And those peak champions had even deeper greed: borrow the Cocoon of Destruction to step into the divine realm, then abandon it.
Human desire is like a rolling stone on a high mountain—once it starts, it’s hard to stop midway unless it falls to the valley bottom.
Everyone reveled, unaware that crisis was imminent.
In just under a decade, at least six champions had been born in this once-overlooked small city of Saint Gony City.
And most importantly, such miracles were still continuing.
The Cocoon of Destruction was the core that created this miracle.
“Yveltal, wake up!”
Yveltal, in deep slumber, vaguely heard the old acquaintance’s voice.
With its mind revived, Yveltal slowly opened its eyes.
Looking at the Zygarde Cell Form in front of it, Yveltal was a bit surprised.
“Zygarde? Weren’t you in the real world? How did you come to my secret realm?” Yveltal asked in surprise.
Zygarde reminded speechlessly: “You’ve been raided at home. Just sense the outside and you’ll know.”
Yveltal did so, immediately sensing the outside situation.
???
Yveltal was completely confused.
What the hell?
How did I end up in the real world? I don’t remember having a habit of sleepwalking.
Yveltal looked doubtfully at Zygarde, hoping to get the answer it wanted from it.
Zygarde said with a cold smile: “Congratulations, you have believers now too.”
Yveltal: “???”
Me? Yveltal? Have believers?
Yveltal suspected something was wrong with the Zygarde Cell in front of it.
Do you hear what you’re saying? It’s seen people courting death, but never seen any taking courting death as faith.
Having lived who knows how many epochs, what messy things hadn’t it seen? But it really hadn’t seen believers worshiping it.
Zygarde urged expressionlessly: “Xerneas has already awakened and shared eternal life with its followers. You should wake up now too, and share your death while you’re at it.”
Yveltal: “…”
Zygarde didn’t hide its malice toward humans at all in its tone.
As the guardian of order in the real world, Zygarde knew all too well what this bunch of humans was like.
Nothing but parasites clinging to the world and even them gods, utterly useless for world development. If it were up to it, this race would have gone extinct long ago, if not for Arceus’s fondness for humans.
“You’re still as cold as ever.” Yveltal commented.
The Yveltal accompanied by death wasn’t evil; it wasn’t enthusiastic about taking others’ lives, just indifferent.
Yveltal took the initiative: “I feel like I can sleep a bit longer.”
For the first time encountering lunatics willing to worship it, Yveltal decided to hold on a bit longer—maybe more lunatics would join in the future?
Zygarde explained: “Arceus is missing, and that dead turtle is now in an unprecedented weakened state. Blue Star can’t shatter at a time like this. It’ll be more trouble if you wake up after accumulating power.”
“Alright.”
Yveltal nodded.
…………
Y Evolution Base.
A piercing alarm suddenly blared, and the instruments monitoring the Cocoon of Destruction began flashing warnings frantically.
A bespectacled researcher looked at the data on the instruments in horror, then shouted desperately: “The Cocoon of Destruction! It’s waking up!”
The entire base instantly descended into chaos.
A white-haired doctor, hearing this, didn’t hesitate and immediately retrieved a purple Poké Ball from the safe.
Against the fleeing crowd, the old man confidently approached the Cocoon of Destruction.
“This old man knew long ago you were a scourge. Go plague the Jiuzhou Alliance instead!” The old man finished and threw the Poké Ball at the Cocoon of Destruction.
The instant the Poké Ball touched the Cocoon of Destruction, it turned gray-white and fell powerless to the floor, ultimately becoming a puff of ash.
The white-haired old man watched in horror, shouting incredulously: “How is that possible? The Master Ball could previously contain the Cocoon of Destruction.”
What the white-haired old man didn’t know was that the Master Ball could contain the Cocoon of Destruction before because Yveltal was in deep slumber.
But now it had awakened.
The change at Y Evolution Base eventually spread to the outside world.
The first to receive the news were the top Champion Level trainers.
Helge, still reveling, was struck like lightning upon taking the phone call. Stunned, he let the phone slip from his hand.
“How is that possible?”
“Yveltal… how could it wake up at a time like this?”
“Those Pokémon doctors clearly said it needed to be satisfied…”
Regaining his senses, Helge ignored the crowd’s puzzled gazes and released Vullaby from the Poké Ball.
Jumping onto Vullaby’s back, Helge shouted in panic: “Vullaby, get us out of here, as far as possible!”
Upon hearing the trainer’s command, Vullaby was about to spread its wings and fly when a loud bang came from the rooftop.
The champions in the champion meeting room had ordered their Pokémon to crash through the roof, riding them to flee first from this soon-to-be land of despair.
Vullaby followed closely behind, but as a somewhat conscientious (though not much) Champion Level trainer, Helge still reminded the crowd before leaving.
“Yveltal is waking up. You should run too.”
No sooner had Helge spoken than Vullaby became a tiny black dot in everyone’s eyes.
Vullaby’s flight speed wasn’t actually that fast, but it was Champion Level.
Among the slow-to-react crowd, a trembling voice rang out: “Did Champion Helge just say Yveltal awakened?”
Hearing this, the crowd snapped awake, scattered like birds and beasts, descending into chaos.
