Chapter 275: Taking The “little Widow” To Fight Groudon?
Two Teleports should be enough.
Then Lu Li said, “I found a Secret Realm nearby, why don’t we go there first?”
Yao Yifei nodded without hesitation. The current Real World was too dangerous; it might collapse at any second.
Lu Li sent the location to Espeon.
After two consecutive “Flash” uses, everyone arrived in a dilapidated valley.
Originally, this should have been a valley full of green life, but due to the volcanic eruption, it had turned into a dead land.
On the valley walls, Lu Li found the entrance to the Secret Realm.
Originally, this entrance should have been underground, but because of the Earthquake, this entrance was forcefully pushed to the ground.
From behind, Yao Yifei exclaimed, “This seems to be an undiscovered Secret Realm.”
“Then our luck should be quite good.” Lu Li said with a smile, raising his eyebrows.
The Yamato Region is not vast, and unclaimed wilderness is even rarer. Normally, apart from newly descended Secret Realms, there are no undiscovered Secret Realms in the Yamato Region.
Because the Yamato Region is just an island, the area is too small, too small. Any new Secret Realm that descends is usually discovered immediately.
Without hesitation, the two, hand in hand, walked directly into the Secret Realm.
Upon entering the Secret Realm, Espeon eagerly said, “This seems to be a Small Secret Realm, no…”
Before Espeon could finish speaking, a terrifying aura suddenly struck.
“This is not an ordinary Secret Realm,” Espeon shouted through Telepathy.
A Pokémon resembling a little girl carrying a giant mask looked curiously at Lu Li: “Human?”
“What kind of Pokémon is this?”
Yao Yifei looked at the green Pokémon before her in surprise.
As a Gym Level Trainer for the Alliance, Yao Yifei considered herself to have seen most Pokémon. Even those she hadn’t seen, she had seen pictures of them.
But the Pokémon before her, she had truly never seen, nor even heard of.
Lu Li also looked at the Pokémon before him in surprise, or rather… a Deity?
Known in Jianghu as “Little Widow,” Gimmighoul.
A legendary Pokémon from Generation 9. Although its Base Stat Total is only 550, Gimmighoul is indeed a genuine legendary Pokémon.
Of course, there are quite a few legendary Pokémon in Generation 9. Gimmighoul is probably at the lower end among them.
Lu Li didn’t expect his luck to be so outrageous. He just randomly found a Secret Realm and encountered a Divine Beast like Gimmighoul.
…………
Gimmighoul didn’t know when it was born. Perhaps it was when humans first made masks? Perhaps it was when Pokémon first learned to disguise themselves?
Masks were born from imitation and worship. In the dawn of time, people worshipped powerful Deities and thus created masks that imitated the appearance of Deities.
This was the origin of the concept of the mask.
In the Mind World.
Terapagos curiously asked, “Gimmighoul, is that right?”
The newly born Gimmighoul looked at Terapagos with full of respect and then quickly nodded.
According to the classification of Deities in this world, Gimmighoul is considered its Subordinate God, as Gimmighoul’s birth was indeed indirectly fueled by Its Power of Destiny.
However, there isn’t a direct master-servant relationship between them.
The reason Gimmighoul respects Terapagos is entirely due to Terapagos’ inherent Status.
Normally, newly born Deities are the easiest to trick.
Most God Trainers in history were actually formed this way.
“Cough, cough, cough!” Terapagos feigned a serious cough, then said with an extremely earnest expression, “Masked God Gimmighoul, I have a difficult mission to assign you.”
Upon hearing this, Gimmighoul quickly stood up straight and asked, “What mission, Your Excellency Terapagos?”
“There is a rampaging Divine Beast outside destroying the world. I need you to stop It. Do you see that human outside? He is your companion in saving the world. Follow him to save the world!” Terapagos solemnly announced.
Gimmighoul, being a brave newborn calf, didn’t know what it was about to face and nodded energetically.
“Rest assured, Your Excellency Terapagos, Gimmighoul will definitely save the world? But why do I need to bring a burden to save the world?” Gimmighoul asked confusedly.
Terapagos explained, “Because he can make masks for you, but only if you share your Power of Authority knowledge with him.”
Through the Power of Destiny, Terapagos also discovered the miraculous nature of this Masked God.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that as long as it has enough masks, this little one can definitely unleash Strength comparable to a Tier 2 God, and could even be called a little Arceus.
“Ah! Masks?”
Gimmighoul accurately grasped the key point.
Having just been born, it only had one mask. The Laws told it that what it needed to do next was to perfect masks corresponding to its Attributes and then ascend through them.
Finally hearing clues related to masks, Gimmighoul no longer cared about Lu Li’s weakness.
Although it harbored doubts about whether Lu Li could make masks for it, Gimmighoul chose to believe Terapagos.
“Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency Terapagos.” Gimmighoul bowed sincerely once more.
Seeing that its deception was successful, Terapagos nodded in satisfaction and then left Gimmighoul’s Mind World.
In the Real World, Lu Li was already considering how to escape.
Play is play, but don’t joke around with Divine Beasts.
No matter what, Gimmighoul is a Deity, at least in this world. Lu Li didn’t think that she and Yao Yifei could possibly contend with Gimmighoul at their current strength.
Gimmighoul directly invited, “Human, do you want to form a Contract with me?”
Lu Li: “???”
Lu Li stared at Gimmighoul before him, confused.
What does this little widow want?
No, the Gimmighoul in this world should not be a widow yet.
So the question arises.
Gimmighoul before him wants to form a contract with him. According to the so-called “Destiny Correction,” would he become a “Brother of the Deceased Husband”?
Thinking of this, Lu Li felt a little panicked.
If one considers that he is a cultivator, he should not end up like the “Brother of the Deceased Husband.”
“There’s no such thing as a ‘Brother of the Deceased Husband.’ Gimmighoul, you can’t handle me, let me do it.” Thinking this, Lu Li quickly nodded.
Lu Li blurted out, “No problem! If you want to.”
Seeing that Lu Li only hesitated for a moment before agreeing, Gimmighoul was also very happy and eagerly said, “Since you agree, then let’s go save the world.”
Lu Li: “???”
Lu Li stared at Gimmighoul, confused. Could saving the world involve small “troublemakers” like him and Gimmighoul?
It wasn’t that he looked down on Gimmighoul, but according to the Status of the Divine Beasts involved in this event, saving the world was not something Gimmighoul should be involved in.
“Save the world? What about saving the world?” Lu Li asked cautiously.
Gimmighoul said in a matter-of-fact tone, “Go defeat the Demon God who is destroying the world outside.”
Lu Li: “???”
I’m taking Gimmighoul to fight Groudon?
Is this real or not?
Lu Li’s heart refused. After all, there was no way to win this fight.
Lu Li probed, “Perhaps we can reconsider the contract?”
“No! You already promised. Those who break their promise will swallow a thousand needles,” Gimmighoul threatened in a yandere manner.
“You two first follow me. I need more masks now, and I need your help with this matter.” After saying that, Gimmighoul directly enveloped everyone with Psychic.
Lu Li felt the sky shift, and then he found himself in a cave.
The cave was decorated quite refreshingly. This should be Gimmighoul’s Nest.
Realizing the gap in their Strength, Lu Li could only follow along and say, “Did you just say crafting masks?”
Gimmighoul nodded and then showed Lu Li the mask it was wearing.
Gimmighoul said, “It’s a mask like this. I also need masks of other Attributes.”
Lu Li narrowed his eyes, looking at Gimmighoul.
He didn’t know how Gimmighoul determined that he had the ability to craft masks.
Was it the intuition of a Divine Beast? Or was it the so-called guidance of Destiny?
Lu Li didn’t know whether it was the former or the latter, but to be honest, Lu Li wasn’t sure if he could craft the Attribute masks Gimmighoul needed.
After all, those things were already considered Divine Items, or even top-tier Divine Items, because Gimmighoul’s Attribute masks were related to Its Strength, and each mask represented a form transformation.
If Divine Items were classified by the degree of need of the Divine Beast itself, Gimmighoul’s masks could even be considered to be at the same level as Groudon’s Red Orb.
He, a mere Qi Refining Stage cultivator, did not have the ability to craft artifacts that involved Laws.
“Come! Accept my Laws and Power of Authority.” After saying that, Gimmighoul poured all the knowledge and inheritance in its mind into Lu Li’s mind.
Lu Li, filled with questions, looked into Gimmighoul’s orange-yellow eyes.
Before Lu Li could speak, Gimmighoul’s eyes flashed with Radiance, and under the infusion of knowledge, Lu Li immediately fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Li opened his eyes in confusion and then tried to digest the knowledge in his mind.
It felt like he had been unconscious for a long time, yet Yao Yifei beside him showed no reaction.
Lu Li knew that the time he was unconscious might not have been as long as he thought, perhaps even shorter than he imagined.
Attribute masks… masks that contained legendary and Lawful power.
Lu Li suddenly found these things to be somewhat familiar.
“Aren’t these the Godhead Masks from the Cultivation World?” Lu Li was shocked.
The Cultivation World had a divine path, but compared to the carefree cultivation, the divine path was merely a discarded product.
Among the Cultivation Hundred Arts, there was a very unpopular secondary profession called “Lingren,” also known as ancient opera actors, but Lingren in the Cultivation World had some special abilities.
In the Cultivation World, the Lingren profession was created by a divine path cultivator, and its core lay in Acting.
Godhead Masks were important Magic Treasures for Lingren. Their function was to carry the Spiritual Sense of great beings, and at critical moments, they could achieve an effect similar to Divine Descent through the Godhead Mask.
Powerful Lingren didn’t even need the Spiritual Sense of great beings. Instead, through faith power accumulated over time, they could imitate the divine will of those great beings, thereby achieving the effect of Divine Descent.
Gimmighoul’s Attribute masks were somewhat similar to Godhead Masks. The difference was that Gimmighoul’s Attribute masks carried Laws and its own Authority.
In other words, Gimmighoul’s masks were merely an interface, a tool connecting It to the Origin of Laws of the world.
If it were just this, then crafting Attribute masks wouldn’t be that difficult.
Gimmighoul’s own mask Authority represented changeability. In this world, there was a golden rule: theoretically, there were no three-Attribute Pokémon.
But Gimmighoul was too special. It had multiple Attributes like Eevee. To cope with this restriction, Attribute masks came into being. Moreover, Gimmighoul’s Divine Duty was originally related to masks.
Seeing Lu Li deep in thought, Gimmighoul blinked its bright eyes and asked expectantly, “How is it? Can you help me make masks?”
“Have you prepared the materials for crafting masks?” Lu Li asked cautiously.
Gimmighoul nodded impatiently.
“I only prepared one. This is something I worked on for a long time to get.” Gimmighoul took out a large, light blue crystal from somewhere.
The moment the light blue crystal appeared, the entire cave, no! the entire Secret Realm was instantly enveloped by concentrated Attribute Energy.
“What… what is this?” Lu Li asked in surprise.
This thing wasn’t like a Water Gem, and it certainly wasn’t a Water Stone.
Gimmighoul replied, “Law Crystal!”
To be honest, Lu Li had never heard of this thing in the Pokémon World, but he had heard of it in his knowledge from the Cultivation World.
The so-called Law Crystal was something produced at the birth of the world through the constant collision of Laws.
This thing was equivalent to the materialization of Laws. For humans, this thing wasn’t very useful, but for Pokémon, especially those that had stepped into the Divine Realm, this thing might be even more important than Divine Items.
Suppressing the urge to covetously pocket the item, Lu Li continued to ask, “I also need…”
“And this,” Gimmighoul took out a section of huge Wood.
Hiss~
Lu Li gasped in shock and exclaimed, “This Wood is…”
“My friend gave this to me, specifically for making masks for me. It seems to be a branch from the World Tree,” Gimmighoul said matter-of-factly.
Lu Li: “…”
World Tree… in the Cultivation World, this would be comparable to the Tongtian Tree Jianmu.
Lu Li gained a new appreciation for the wealth of Divine Beasts.
With even newly born minor Deities like Gimmighoul having so many good things, Lu Li couldn’t imagine how rich the old, established Deities must be.
“And this,” Gimmighoul took out some strange Pigments. Judging by their energy reaction, Lu Li knew these things were probably not simple.
“Are the masks of Gimmighoul in this world made with such strange things?” Lu Li was somewhat surprised.
After all, the Wellspring Masks in the Game World were very ordinary, at least according to their descriptions.
Crystal Mask: A wooden mask decorated with crystals. When held by Gimmighoul, it covers its entire body with Water Attribute to battle.
But in the Real World, the crafting materials for this Wellspring Mask were incredibly outrageous.
