Chapter 252: Relief After The Catastrophe
“Forget it, it’s better to keep a low profile.” Lu Li shook his head and refused.
He went to Kyushu University to attend school, originally aiming for that library. As for other things? He really had no ideas.
No matter how generous Kyushu University was, it was impossible for them to give him a pseudo-legendary.
Now Lu Li had already begun considering his second tier.
If there were no accidents, Lu Li planned to make his entire team pseudo-legendary dragons.
He currently had one Ice Dragon. As long as he digested the life knowledge gained from Xerneas well, he would have the grasp to hatch that Spine Dragon.
After Lu Li handled the medicine garden matters, he made a special trip to the garden. Seeing that the precious flowers inside were all growing vigorously, Lu Li nodded in satisfaction.
The garden held great significance for him, after all, this was the Shaymin trap. Although Shaymin was only a Tier 3 God, it was still a god, and one specialized in farming at that.
“How has your Vespiquen been lately?” Lu Li asked.
A flash of excitement passed through Yao Yifei’s eyes, then she said agitatedly, “Thanks to you, I should be close to Heavenly King.”
That’s good. By the way, this is for you.
Lu Li took out Deoxys’s Core.
“This is…”
Yao Yifei looked at the orb in Lu Li’s hand with full surprise.
“A divine item?” Yao Yifei asked somewhat unconfidently.
Lu Li nodded.
“No.”
Yao Yifei suddenly looked seriously at the orb: “This is not an ordinary divine item.”
“This is a Tier 1 God’s divine item, and it’s even a core divine item.” Lu Li admitted with a smile.
Hiss~
Yao Yifei inhaled a cold breath.
A Tier 1 God’s core divine item?
What concept was this?
If divine items also had three, six, nine grades, then the orb before her eyes was at least first tier. Compared to the Land Cloud divine item Lu Li had obtained before, Deoxys’s Core absolutely surpassed it by a wide margin.
“I’ll leave this item with you for safekeeping for now. Anyway, I’m going to school, and Beldum isn’t easy to carry around.” Lu Li said.
Hearing this, Yao Yifei’s gaze became even more complex.
“Right, I’m also planning to leave the Land Cloud divine item in the orchard. It’ll be up to you to look after it then.” Lu Li continued.
Lu Li calculated the efficiency of his Pokémon using the divine items these past days. In the end, Lu Li awkwardly discovered that carrying divine items around was actually the most inefficient.
The best method was still to leave them in a fixed place and then put the Pokémon there, since he was not a single attribute trainer.
Yao Yifei, deeply moved in her heart, still said stubbornly on the surface, “You sure know how to increase my workload.”
Lu Li just smiled and didn’t speak.
“Three-headed rush, can you handle it?” Lu Li asked with concern.
In fact, he had too few usable people around him, like Yao Yifei for example.
Yao Yifei now counted as half one of his own, but she had become extremely busy because of him. Yao Yifei’s original job was just Gym Leader; she had already stopped her celebrity business.
But now, Yao Yifei not only had to manage Qing Mu Black Market affairs, but also take care of the home, plus Gym Leader. Yao Yifei was now holding three jobs.
“I can just lend my name for the black market side. For the gym, my mom is there. Just looking after the home is no problem.” Yao Yifei shook her head with a smile.
What a joke!
Guarding two divine items. Even if she really couldn’t manage, she couldn’t give up the black market. If necessary, she could even give up the Gym Leader position.
Deoxys’s Core could benefit the Starry Sprite and Beldum.
The Land Cloud divine item could benefit Tropius, Onix, and the orchard, garden, and even medicine garden.
Now, on the contrary, Charmander and Milotic were a bit awkward.
After returning to the villa, Lu Li received a call from Qu Suxin.
Qu Suxin called to remind him that Gardevoir would come to get the list from him later.
“By the way, Sister Qu, how’s the North American Alliance side?” Lu Li asked curiously.
“Those five old guys from the America Region made their move. Those who wanted to take advantage all got a bloody nose. Luckily we ran fast enough, or we’d have been settled too.” Qu Suxin’s tone was full of relief.
Trainers who had stepped into the Divine Realm were already beyond what ordinary people could compare to.
Although the America Alliance had been ravaged badly by the God of Death, their true top combat power hadn’t actually suffered losses. At the very least, those five old guys hadn’t died, so America was still America.
Lu Li curiously followed up: “What about the others?”
Qu Suxin said with a smile, “As for the specifics, I’ll know when the alliance holds a meeting. Time is probably eight o’clock tonight.”
That kind of pleasure where everyone goes to steal the chicken but only you succeed is something others can’t imagine.
Just as Qu Suxin hung up, a breaking air sound rang out in front of Lu Li.
Seeing the familiar Gardevoir, Lu Li handed over the list he had prepared last night.
After taking the list, Gardevoir gently hugged Lu Li.
“Thank you. You can come watch when I become a god. Um! You can also bring people.” After Gardevoir finished speaking, she meaningfully glanced at Yao Yifei at the doorway.
“Mm.”
Lu Li nodded heavily.
This was a rare great opportunity, its preciousness not inferior to letting a Pokémon use a Pokémon secret treasure once.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have any Fairy Attribute Pokémon in hand. Luckily, he had two Psychic Attribute Pokémon.
“Then bring Bao Bao and Yao Yifei.” Lu Li thought to himself.
Gardevoir came in a hurry and left in a hurry. After Gardevoir left, Lu Li entered the basement and began seclusion.
The life knowledge brought by Xerneas could even be called taboo. Lu Li suddenly somewhat suspected the reason the Life God Cult followed in Xerneas’s footsteps.
Although those people weren’t cultivators, their age and experience were there. They might really gain benefits from Xerneas’s awakening process. Even if they couldn’t, their Pokémon definitely could.
That Brimm was the best proof.
First were the life runes… then…
Lu Li, with his eyes closed, fell into long self-enlightenment.
………..
Jiuzhou Alliance Headquarters.
The four Title Heavenly Kings and the Champion were all gathered.
Today’s main topic was the Death Tide.
“Our intelligence agents have sent over the information. The Death Tide originated from Saint Gony City in the America Region. That place has now become a desperate situation.” The Alliance President said solemnly, holding the information.
Seeing the Alliance President whose mouth corners couldn’t be suppressed, Qu Suxin also forcibly held back the urge to laugh and turned her head to the side.
“America’s losses this time are huge. Just the death toll of trainers exceeds a million, and ordinary people’s casualties even exceed 100 million.” The Alliance President’s tone carried some heaviness.
Although their positions differed, upon hearing so many ordinary people die, he still felt some sympathy in his heart.
Because whether it was him or others who knew the truth, they all knew one thing.
That was that Yveltal shouldn’t have awakened in the real world. And the reason Yveltal awakened there was purely because the America Alliance’s higher-ups were causing trouble.
Although Xerneas’s Life Tide replenished life for those creatures whose life was drained, those turned to ashes couldn’t be revived again.
Just like the people of Saint Gony City.
Normally, people drained of life would turn into gray-white statues. If Xerneas’s Life Tide supplemented energy afterward, they could recover.
But the problem was that the airflow from Yveltal flapping its wings at that time blew those statues into ashes, so Saint Gony City became a desperate situation with no survivors.
Such things actually also happened in various corners of the North American Alliance, like those Flying Type trainers who happened to be flying in the sky, and those trainers who happened to be driving.
At the instant life was taken, the kinetic energy produced by matter wouldn’t stop. When the two collided, the already brittle, ash-like statues would naturally shatter. This was the law of physics; Yveltal hadn’t made the physical rules die too.
“And worth mentioning is that Saint Gony City had unknowingly been turned by the America Alliance into a holy land for Flying and Dark Attribute Pokémon.
Regrettably, Saint Gony City has now become a desperate situation with no survivors, which means…”
At this moment, the Alliance President’s mouth corners finally couldn’t be suppressed.
“Hehe…”
“In other words, the America Alliance’s Flying Type and Dark Attribute trainers are facing a generational break. Even that master level Flying Type trainer died in Saint Gony City.”
As the Alliance President, he naturally hoped that this arch-rival America Alliance would decline from here on.
In fact, the America Alliance’s losses this time were indeed terrifying.
If they couldn’t make up from other places, the America Alliance might really drop out of the top two positions.
The Jiuzhou Alliance would become one superpower among many, the world’s strongest overlord.
What was this called?
This was called lying win!
“So the President’s meaning is…” Long Du looked at the Alliance President seated at the head.
The Alliance President’s gaze was sharp, his tone steady as he said, “The America Alliance is definitely anxious to stabilize their status now, so we can take the opportunity to expand our overseas forces, especially the secret realms on the African Alliance side.”
In fact, although the African Alliance was an alliance, its essence was a plate of loose sand, first because the African Alliance’s secret realm resources were abundant.
The secret realm resources there were almost equivalent to the total of two alliances, and it had always been a competition ground for the other three major alliances.
Now that the America Alliance had played themselves to death, the Jiuzhou Alliance naturally wanted to seize more secret realms.
“The Elder Council’s meaning is to send two Title Heavenly Kings to the African Alliance side for secret realm contention.” After the Alliance President finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the four Title Heavenly Kings.
Before they could speak, Long Du said first, “Fairy Heavenly King, you can pick one of the other three Heavenly Kings to accompany you to the African Alliance.”
Hearing this, Qu Suxin raised her eyebrows.
If it were usual times, this would absolutely be a cushy job with plenty of oil and water, after all, the African Alliance side had abundant secret realm resources, meaning high output of Pokémon items and secret treasures.
Back then, Long Du had successfully broken through to Champion precisely by going on a business trip to the African Alliance.
But the problem was she had no mind to care about those now; she only wanted to quickly break through to the Divine Realm.
Qu Suxin, with a somewhat gloomy expression, instantly thought of the reason.
The alliance had probably guessed she had Xerneas’s divine item, or guessed that Xerneas’s appearance was related to her.
Only this could explain why such a good assignment fell on her head.
The alliance simply wanted to delay her breakthrough speed to give Long Du time.
The Elder Council had seven seats, and it was also challenge-based.
Once she broke through to the Divine Realm, the Imperial Dragon Family would suffer.
Thinking of this, Qu Suxin’s mood instantly became heavy.
The Qu-Yao struggle might turn into the Qu-Dragon struggle.
Before her, the alliance had also been suppressing Long Du’s growth speed because there was already a Dragon Elder in the Elder Council. If Long Du also became a member of the Elder Council, the Jiuzhou Alliance might end up surnamed Dragon.
But now it was different. Once she successfully broke through, the Dragon Family might drop out of the Elder Council. One must know, the Dragon Family was the oldest and most powerful family in the Jiuzhou Alliance, and also the most reliable among all noble families.
Whether the Elder Council or the Jiuzhou Alliance’s higher-ups, none wanted to see the Dragon Family drop out of the Elder Council, so the only way to break the situation now was for Long Du to break through before or at the same time as Qu Suxin.
Qu Suxin nodded helplessly: “Fine. As for the other companion, arrange it among yourselves.”
The Elder Council had directly issued the order; she had almost no excuse to refuse. She couldn’t just admit she had a divine item and wanted to break through quickly, right?
But doing so would be exposing herself, somewhat tearing face.
Going to the African Alliance on official business was simply a fair and open scheme.
The alliance’s meaning was, although I’m slowing your breakthrough speed, I’m also giving you sufficient compensation.
Qu Suxin could already guess the situation when she went there.
At that time, the alliance would definitely turn a blind eye to her actions, and the Qu Family would take the opportunity to make a fortune.
The only sacrifice was her breakthrough speed, but she was still very young; delaying a year or two was fine.
Seeing Qu Suxin so cooperative, the Alliance President also nodded with relief.
This was also why he had strongly supported Qu Suxin becoming a Title Heavenly King despite opposition back then.
Qu Suxin was absolutely impeccable in terms of understanding the big picture.
………..
After the meeting ended, the entire office was left with only Long Du and the Alliance President.
Long Du smiled bitterly: “We still underestimated the Rainbow Hero.”
The Alliance President nodded in deep agreement and said:
“It’s certain that Xerneas was awakened by Lu Li, which means Qu Suxin likely already has Xerneas’s divine item.”
“This can be considered a blessing in disguise. If the Rainbow Hero hadn’t detonated this bomb early, I wouldn’t dare imagine how miserable we’d be.” Long Du clenched his fist, gnashing his teeth.
Based on the spy intelligence, they had finally realized afterward that old bastard Plante’s conspiracy.
Long Du asked curiously: “Master Ball technology can really transport divine beasts?”
“Yes, this has already been proven.” The Alliance President nodded.
If Yveltal had really been secretly transported to their Jiuzhou Region, it would be a catastrophe for the Jiuzhou Region.
Because Ho-Oh was currently active in the real world, Yveltal coming over would almost 100% be awakened.
How terrible the consequences would be, just refer to the America Alliance’s current situation.
