Chapter 274: Groudon Descends To The Present World
Realizing that the matter was already irreparable, Terapagos ultimately chose to grit its teeth and proceed.
Terapagos, who appeared in Groudon’s mind world, earnestly shouted, “Groudon, calm down!”
“Get lost!”
The furious Groudon only replied with “Get lost!” before kicking Terapagos out of the mind world.
Zygarde followed in as well and advised, “Groudon, you cannot go to the real world. Terapagos is in poor condition right now. If Blue Star is destroyed, it cannot be reset in a short time.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Groudon sneered before kicking Zygarde out as well.
What a joke!
It was clearly humans who provoked him first, yet now his “colleagues” were trying to persuade him to abandon revenge, with the reason being that Blue Star’s destruction would prevent rebuilding in a short time.
What did that have to do with him, Groudon? If Blue Star was gone, weren’t there still secret realms?
As for how many humans would die? He didn’t even care about Pokémon, so how could he possibly care about humans.
“This is tricky!” Terapagos sighed dispiritedly.
Terapagos hadn’t expected things to develop like this. The humans of this epoch were more lunatic than those of any previous epoch.
It wasn’t as if humans coveting divine power hadn’t happened before, but that was at most greed, not stupidity.
But the humans of this epoch were different—both greedy and stupid.
They used Ho-Oh’s divine favor for experiments and even applied it to the poor Eevees.
Fortunately, Ho-Oh was famously good-tempered and generally wouldn’t hold grudges against humans; otherwise, the world would have been reset back then.
And those big brains who worshiped the God of Death—the most outrageous part was that they brought the cocoon of death to the real world.
Now they had run into yet another inexplicable matter that provoked Groudon.
If this matter had no aftermath, it would be fine, but if there really was aftermath, then the amusement would be huge.
Terapagos roughly knew Groudon’s thoughts: nothing more than wanting to go out and get revenge on that human who dared to set off firecrackers by his ear.
That sort of thing would at most sink the entire Large Island into the sea, far from threatening the entire world.
“Back to the real world. I need to go maintain order in the real world.” After Zygarde said this, it also vanished from the mind world.
………..
After traversing the space-time tunnel, the group finally returned to the real world.
Claydol said via telepathy, “This is still the Yamato Region.”
Hearing this, Wen Gongmao sighed, “What a pity… We got played.”
Ken Lin’s facial expression was similarly ugly. Although they had escaped disaster, their goal this time was the divine item of the Earth God.
They took such a huge risk, yet ended up with nothing—this would be hard for anyone to stomach.
“I’ll take my leave first. I’ll settle this score with the Yamato Alliance.” After Ken Lin said this, he prepared to depart.
Wen Gongmao did not try to stop him, as he too was happy to see the Yamato Alliance and America Alliance fight like dogs.
Just as Wen Gongmao and the others relaxed, a new change occurred.
Almost simultaneously, the global earthquake monitoring network detected infrasound resonance anomalies from the Earth’s core. All active volcanoes entered pre-eruption states, and geomagnetic intensity decayed at 5% per minute.
It was as if the entire earth was cheering, cheering the god’s arrival! And responding to the god’s arrival with the most enthusiastic reaction.
But for humans living on the land, this was an unprecedented catastrophe.
Slave God Society Tokyo base.
“Infrasound frequency has broken through 800 Hz!” The assistant’s voice was trembling.
What did this mean?
It meant the earth had entered an unprecedentedly active state, and also meant the Earth God was about to step into the real world.
From the northern island of the New Lan Region to the ocean trench of the Zhi Li Region, all subduction zones were emitting deathly shrieks—this was the earth roaring.
At the same time, the seawater in Tokyo Bay of the Yamato Region suddenly collapsed toward the center, revealing an ancient sunken ship covered in barnacles.
Immediately after, the Ginza skyscraper tilted like a melting candle, concrete crumbling into powder under gravity.
The young assistant who had just been shouting grabbed the violently shaking console: “President! Can the plan start now?”
Hearing this, Luo Fude slowly opened his eyes, filled with excitement and expectation: “Start the plan! Take the Red Orb to Nemo Point!”
Ever since learning the reason for secret realm births from historical documents, Luo Fude had harbored an incomparably grand plan.
He wanted to pioneer an unprecedented future for humanity! A future where everyone was like a dragon! Where everyone could become a secret realm lord! A glorious future!
That was to use those high-and-mighty gods to create countless resource secret realms!
Secret realms were born from world destruction, meaning that as long as world resets happened enough times, the number of secret realms would increase accordingly.
Secret realms represented resources. As long as humans had enough resources, they could certainly pioneer the most glorious future.
As for the humans who died in world resets?
In Luo Fude’s view, whether humans or Pokémon, all must follow one basic law: survival of the fittest, natural selection!
Wasn’t it normal for the weak to be eliminated?
“Next, we just need to lure that Earth God to Nemo Point via the Red Orb, and the plan will be half successful.” Luo Fude squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.
As long as the Earth God was lured there, the outcome would only have one of three possibilities.
The first outcome: transform the entire world into infinite land, then have the deity reset the world.
The second possibility: trigger war between the Earth God and the Sea God, resulting in world reset anyway.
The final possibility: Groudon controlled its power, the world did not perish, but a new continent would appear at Nemo Point.
No matter which possibility, his plan would count as a success—the difference was just winning big or small. Big win was world reset; small win was humans gaining a new continent.
………..
When the first lava waterfall crashed from the clouds, people in the Yamato Region realized this was no ordinary earthquake.
Red light streams pierced the Shinjuku City Hall building. Molten steel snaked into rivers on the streets. The Earth’s crust was cracking—not along plate edges, but disintegrating comprehensively like a shattered eggshell.
The entire Pacific Ring of Fire erupted simultaneously, lava columns breaking through the stratosphere to form burning crowns.
Sasaki, eyes full of disbelief, personally witnessed Yokohama Port swallowed by a thousand-meter tsunami. The Pacific Plate subducted westward at seven meters per minute, the triggered super tsunami reaching 1,200 km/h in deep water.
The seawater didn’t surge but crushed the land like a frothing liquid wall. Cruise ships were flung 400 meters into the air, disintegrating into steel wreckage amid vortex clouds.
“How… could this be?” Sasaki’s eyes were full of confusion.
They had clearly cut off the exit between the secret realm and the real world—why had the Earth God still descended upon this world?
Aju nearby broke down and questioned, “Is this your high-level plan? Look there! That’s our compatriots wailing!
“And look there! Ruined! The entire Yamato Island is ruined by you people.”
Hearing this, Sasaki’s eyes were full of confusion.
Why was this happening? They had clearly cut off the secret realm entrance.
Sasaki kept muttering to himself.
As a master-level trainer and the Yamato Alliance’s only master-level trainer, Sasaki’s mentality collapsed.
Aju, eyes full of relief, whispered, “It’s here!”
Sasaki, snapping back, broke down as he looked at the terrifying behemoth: “This is the Earth God Groudon? How laughable… The Yamato Region destroyed in my hands.”
“The president and them have already withdrawn into the secret realm with people. The spark is still there. Next…”
Before Aju finished speaking, Sasaki interrupted: “I’ve already sent all my companions into the secret realm. We will guard Yamato with our remaining lives.”
“The Earth God is angry, blaming us for disturbing his sleep, so let us appease his fury.” Sasaki slowly spread his arms and walked toward Groudon approaching from the front.
Condensed Flamethrower instantly enveloped the two and the building behind them.
As the Flamethrower dissipated, a chasm spanning hundreds of kilometers appeared where the two had stood.
After doing this, Groudon, whose anger had mostly vented, prepared to find a place to continue resting.
Hmm?
Sensing something, Groudon suddenly looked west.
That location…
Realizing it, Groudon, whose anger had just subsided, became furious again.
Humans were coveting its power!
Due to the Earth Authority being too heavy, to gain freedom, Groudon sealed part of its authority in the Red Orb. For Groudon, the Red Orb was both its core and its crown.
Now, that “crown” had fallen into human hands.
Without hesitation, Groudon chose to head to Nemo Point.
It would reclaim its “crown” and give humans a lesson to remember forever!
………..
Zygarde, now in 50% form, was using its order authority to full capacity to clear the earth’s veins and prevent Groudon’s authority from affecting other continents.
“I can’t hold on much longer! Hasn’t Groudon vented enough?” Zygarde was already cursing in the mind world.
“Sigh~”
Terapagos sighed somewhat dispiritedly.
“Groudon was originally ready to go back, but…” Terapagos looked utterly speechless.
The humans of this world really knew how to court death.
Terapagos briefly explained how the Slave God Society stole the Red Orb.
Hearing this, Zygarde was stunned, even ready to give up entirely.
What was the Red Orb? That was Groudon’s lifeblood.
“Those damned humans—where exactly did they find the Red Orb?” Zygarde roared in fury.
Terapagos deftly shifted blame: “Now it’s up to you. My divine envoy can’t keep up with Groudon.”
After saying this, Terapagos vanished from Zygarde’s mind world.
Now the matter was beyond what it could intervene in, so Terapagos also chose to slack off.
Lu Li, who had just returned to the real world and been hit hard, was also stunned.
Lu Li hadn’t expected Groudon to actually come to the real world, let alone descend right in the Dahe Region.
Fortunately, he had a master-level trainer by his side; otherwise, the disaster’s aftermath alone could have cost him half his life.
Facing this familiar predicament again, Lu Li thought of his old trade.
This seemed like another good opportunity for divination.
Considering Groudon’s power was still rampaging on this island, Lu Li ultimately dismissed the idea.
“I only hope our Jiuzhou Region won’t be affected.” Wen Gongmao prayed.
Lu Li was not so optimistic.
Groudon’s power was too terrifying—it was impossible not to affect the Jiuzhou Region, as the distance between the Yamato Region and Jiuzhou Region was only about a thousand kilometers.
Lu Li hurriedly asked, “So can we return to the Jiuzhou Region now?”
Wen Gongmao smiled bitterly and shook his head: “No, Groudon’s power hasn’t dissipated. Claydol can’t use Teleport.”
Groudon’s appearance had the most direct consequence: in the vicinity, apart from ground and fire attribute energy, the content of other attribute energy was extremely low.
Claydol’s Teleport was essentially a psychic attribute’s transformative move. In this environment, Claydol could only rely on its own psychic attribute to activate the skill.
But the energy in a Pokémon’s spirit body was ultimately limited, far from enough to support ultra-long-distance Teleport.
“Are we just going to watch here then?” Lu Li asked anxiously.
“What else do you want? To save the world?” Wen Gongmao rolled his eyes at Lu Li.
Wait.
Wen Gongmao reacted too.
The guy in front of him was the Rainbow Hero—his appearance here might really involve a responsibility or mission to save the world.
“Ahem! Lu Li.” Wen Gongmao suddenly patted Lu Li’s shoulder very solemnly.
Lu Li, sensing something ominous, looked nervously at the old man before him.
“The heavy responsibility of saving the world is entrusted to you. This old man has some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my granddaughter and bid farewell first.” After saying this, Wen Gongmao beckoned to Huang Meng.
“Meng Meng, come with Grandpa. We’ll go settle scores with the Yamato Region people first.” After that, Wen Gongmao took Huang Meng and left.
（ps: Short-distance Teleport can be used, but not ultra-long-distance.）
Watching Wen Gongmao abandon him and leave, Lu Li was also stunned.
What to do when the thigh flies away??
Yao Yifei asked worriedly, “Lu Li, what do we do?”
“How about finding a nearby secret realm to hide in?” Lu Li probed.
“Yeah!”
In the mind world, Terapagos suddenly stomped heavily.
Its power was now insufficient to persuade Groudon, but it could find a younger brother.
Thinking of this, Terapagos hurriedly activated “Destiny Guidance.”
Lu Li, struck by a sudden impulse, took out his divination kit from the space ring.
Though the surroundings were already ruins and lava occasionally fell from the sky, this did not hinder his divination.
As the ancient coins landed, Lu Li calculated with his fingers.
Moments later, Lu Li looked at Yao Yifei beside him: “Sister Yao, how far can Espeon’s Teleport go now?”
“Within 10 kilometers.” Espeon answered via telepathy.
Lu Li: “…”
This distance was quite short. Lu Li roughly estimated the distance to that secret realm.
