Chapter 96: Secret Realm Overlord’s Overlord Aura
Unlike the previous Secret Realm discovered in the wilderness, the officially controlled Secret Realm was even more special.
When he entered the Secret Realm before, he felt nothing at all; his eyes just blinked, and the scene in front of him changed instantly.
But this time was different. After the three entered the space rift, they walked for nearly three minutes before seeing the exit of the Secret Realm.
It was just like walking through a narrow cave; as they walked, they suddenly saw light, and as they got closer to that light, the opening of the exit grew larger.
Lu Li frowned slightly. He couldn’t understand why there was such a big gap; clearly they were all Secret Realms, so why was there such a big difference in the way to enter them.
After the atmosphere cooled, Yu Zhonggang didn’t mention Divine Beasts anymore. At this moment, he explained from the side, “Qingyun Secret Realm is just a small Secret Realm. The strongest Pokémon is a Heavenly King Level Bidoof. You should know about this, right?”
After Yu Zhonggang finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Li.
Lu Li shook his head. Yu Lili hadn’t mentioned the Secret Realm Overlord to him, so he didn’t know about that Overlord Pokémon.
Yu Zhonggang heard the explanation and said, “Every Secret Realm has its guardian. We generally call them Secret Realm Overlords because those Pokémon have a very unique Overlord Aura.”
Overlord Aura?
Hearing this somewhat familiar term, Lu Li raised his eyebrows.
He was particularly interested in that Overlord Aura.
“Uncle Yu, what is Overlord Aura?” Lu Li asked curiously.
“The so-called Overlord Aura is a unique ability of Secret Realm Overlords. With the Overlord Aura, Secret Realm Overlords can even achieve invincibility at the same level.
Take this Secret Realm’s Bidoof as an example. It broke through to Heavenly King Level just a few days ago, but it is almost invincible at Heavenly King Level. Unless the type is very advantageous against it, no Pokémon at the same level, even Heavenly King Late Stage ones, can be its opponent.”
“So outrageous?” Lu Li was somewhat surprised. Invincibility at the same level or even fighting above one’s level—wasn’t that treatment only for protagonists?
Were Overlord Pokémon this domineering?
Jin Huang asked worriedly from the side, “Doesn’t that mean every Overlord Pokémon is very terrifying? What if they run to our world and cause destruction?”
Looking at the worried Jin Huang, Yu Zhonggang smiled satisfactorily. The fact that Jin Huang considered this point first proved that Jin Huang had a sense of belonging to the Alliance.
Yu Zhonggang explained, “This brings us to the flaw of Overlord Aura. Overlord Aura is indeed powerful, but it is not without drawbacks.
After an Overlord Pokémon leaves the Secret Realm, the Overlord Aura on its body can sustain at most one battle. After the battle ends, it will exit the Overlord Aura and even enter a weakened state. So you don’t need to worry that Overlord Pokémon will cause too much destruction to our cities.”
Lu Li wasn’t interested in the destruction Overlord Pokémon might cause to cities. What he was curious about was whether such Pokémon could be captured.
Lu Li: “Hasn’t anyone tried to convince such ‘invincible’ Pokémon?”
“Currently, there is no Poké Ball that can capture Overlord Pokémon. Even the legendary Master Ball that can capture Divine Duty Divine Beasts cannot capture Overlord Pokémon.” Yu Zhonggang shook his head.
If Overlord Pokémon could be captured, the world would have been in chaos long ago. Such existences that are invincible at the same level and can even ignore certain type advantages—which powerful Trainer wouldn’t be tempted?
“However, human technology is always advancing. I heard that the European Alliance is already researching Poké Balls to capture Overlord Pokémon. People in the scientific community have always believed that Overlord Aura is related to Gigantamax. In this aspect, the European Alliance is indeed blessed by fortune, and we can’t envy them.” Yu Zhonggang sighed, his tone carrying a bit of unwillingness.
If the European Alliance developed the technology to subdue Overlord Pokémon, the European Alliance would definitely become the strongest among the Five Great Alliances.
The Asian Alliance’s Mega Evolution, the European Alliance’s Gigantamax, the North American Alliance’s Z-moves—the three great alliances all have their own specialized unique technologies.
But the European Alliance’s Gigantamax is related to Overlord Aura. That’s fortune.
Lu Li’s expression turned strange after hearing this.
If he remembered correctly, Overlord Aura and Gigantamax had absolutely no relation; they were completely different things.
The European Alliance was researching in the wrong direction. Instead, the North American Alliance had the advantage in research.
“By the way, Uncle Yu, you just said that Secret Realm Pokémon have growth limits?” Lu Li also recalled what Yu Zhonggang had just said.
“No, to be precise, it’s the Secret Realm that limits the growth ceiling of Secret Realm Pokémon, not that Secret Realm Pokémon have a growth limit.” Yu Zhonggang smiled and shook his head.
Lu Li looked at Yu Zhonggang in confusion, waiting for his explanation.
“Although attribute energy is abundant in Secret Realms, the laws are also deficient. The smaller the Secret Realm, the more severely the laws are missing. So the limit for small Secret Realms is Heavenly King Level, for medium-sized Secret Realms it’s Champion Level, for large Secret Realms it’s Master Level. Only super large Secret Realms have no restrictions.”
Lu Li suddenly understood. He didn’t expect Secret Realms to have so many intricacies.
“Alright, here you go.” Yu Zhonggang gave Lu Li a watch.
“This is a rescue watch dedicated to Secret Realms. This Secret Realm is completely under our control. If you encounter danger in the Secret Realm, immediately activate this watch, and I will arrive at your location within 5 minutes.
Next, I won’t accompany you. After all, you young people pursue independence and freedom, and I won’t be an eyesore by your side.”
Lu Li happily took the watch. Being able to move freely without surveillance around was exactly what he wanted.
“Jin Huang and I still have some matters to handle. His second Pokémon has a bit of a problem, and it wouldn’t be good for you to follow.” Yu Zhonggang explained.
Lu Li nodded.
Since Yu Zhonggang had said so, he naturally wouldn’t make trouble for himself.
“Then I’ll head off first.” After saying that, Lu Li casually picked a direction and began exploring.
“Jin Huang, there’s only one Pokémon Egg. I can only give you a fair chance to compete. No way around it; I didn’t expect that a direct descendant from your Jin Family had also discovered that Steelix.” Yu Zhonggang patted Jin Huang’s shoulder encouragingly.
“Don’t worry, Teacher. I absolutely won’t let you down.” Jin Huang guaranteed.
Yu Zhonggang corrected, “Whether I’m disappointed or not doesn’t matter. What’s important is that the Pokémon Egg is excellent. You need to fight for a brighter future for yourself.”
Just as he had said earlier, the future of their Yu Family had always rested on Yu Lili. Although Jin Huang was his disciple, if he couldn’t demonstrate his own value.
They wouldn’t make a losing investment either. The more potential Jin Huang showed, the greater their support for him would be.
Although this was a competition for a Pokémon Egg, wasn’t it also a kind of test?
Jin Huang didn’t know this. He only knew that this time he had to compete with a family direct descendant for a Steelix Pokémon Egg.
…………
Lu Li didn’t know about the test Jin Huang was facing at this moment. After walking some distance, Lu Li stopped.
After confirming with full spiritual sense that there was no surveillance around him, Lu Li took out the three-piece set for divination from his backpack.
