Chapter 258 Unnamed Draft 1
With the continuous infusion of this mysterious power, a huge magic circle flashing with eighteen brilliant lights, like a giant beast that has been sleeping for thousands of years, slowly rises from the dark Temple of Heaven.
The interior of this magic circle was crisscrossed with extremely complex and obscure patterns, and its overall outline was in the shape of a standard hexagram, which exactly corresponded to the positions of Giratina and the others.
However, what surprised Qingyi was that the bright light emitted by this magic circle only lasted for a moment, and then became extremely dim, like a candle in the wind, which was about to fall and could go out at any time!
Arceus led Qingyi to the center of the hexagram and gently told her to sit cross-legged.
Qingyi did as she was told immediately.
Then, Arceus himself floated quietly behind Qingyi, like a towering and motionless mountain.
Mewtwo replaced Mew's position and stood with the other five companions at the corresponding positions of the hexagram.
All the preparations have been completed, and now all we have to do is inject energy into the formation!
"Qingyi, summon all the five stone tablets you currently have, and I will take care of the rest!" Arceus' low and majestic voice slowly sounded in Qingyi's ears.
Qingyi did not dare to be negligent at all. She tensed her muscles and concentrated her mind. She followed Arceus' instructions and mobilized all her strength to summon the five stone slabs one by one and make them hover steadily around her body.
Arceus used his divine power to easily pull the five stone slabs to his side.
These stone slabs originally belonged to Arceus. Even though they have now become one with Qingyi, this does not affect Arceus' control over them at all, and the entire process is unhindered.
With the return of the five stone tablets, an endless supply of powerful force poured into Arceus' body like a tide, allowing it to quickly recover from its original exhaustion.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the entire space shook violently, and then a colorful, dazzling light burst out from Arceus' body and rushed straight into the sky.
As the dazzling light sank into the sky, a hexagonal star formation exactly the same as the one below appeared in the originally dark and gloomy sky inexplicably, and even their relative positions were exactly the same!
This mysterious magic circle slowly sank and merged perfectly with the original magic circle below.
At this moment, Arceus, who was in the core area of the center, first channeled his extremely powerful force into the magic circle.
Following closely behind, the other five Pokémon attacked at the same time as if in sync, working together to pour their own mighty power into it. Their movements were smooth and their coordination was seamless.
The only exception was Mewtwo, who had just arrived, was a little slow in reaction because it was his first time participating in this matter, and was half a beat slower than his other companions.
But it doesn't matter, Mewtwo remembered the method Arceus said and did not make any mistakes.
With the stone slab as a medium and a bridge, Qingyi could clearly feel an indescribable vast power constantly pouring into her body, making her stronger and stronger. It seemed that she was vaguely experiencing an indescribable wonderful resonance with Arceus.
It’s like you are in me and I am in you!
So, she followed her truest feelings deep in her heart and passed all her enhanced strength to Arceus without reservation.
Although this strength seems insignificant compared to that of the others, she is still willing to do her best to contribute her own little bit of strength!
With their concerted efforts, the seal, which was initially dim, gradually glowed with an increasingly dazzling brilliance.
However, as the saying goes, things are unpredictable and good things take time to come. Just when everything seemed to be on the right track, unexpected changes suddenly occurred.
Endless dark aura gushed out like thick smoke, quickly spreading and tightly enveloping the entire Temple of Heaven, forming a pitch-black sky where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face!
This sudden change caught everyone off guard. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and looked around in shock.
Arceus and Giratina's faces changed drastically, their pupils suddenly contracted, and their faces were full of unbelievable horror!
What exactly is going on?
In the thrilling battle not long ago, He was clearly exhausted and unable to fight again. How could He attack again so quickly?
At this moment, the originally calm sealing formation suddenly trembled violently. The light that had just regained some brightness suddenly became dim, and even tiny cracks began to appear!
"Ho~"
Along with deafening roars, there seemed to be some extremely terrifying existence in the dark air that was constantly rushing upwards.
Qingyi's heart tightened. This unprecedented strange situation made her feel inexplicably panicked.
Could it be that the guy they were trying their best to suppress was struggling to break the seal?
Arceus had a solemn expression, his eyes fixed on the increasingly dense darkness, and he whispered an ancient and mysterious spell, hoping to dispel the dark force.
However, the dark energy was like a stubborn cancer, entangled with them tightly, and was not affected by Arceus's spell at all. No matter how hard he tried, he could not shake the darkness in the slightest.
Giratina shouted angrily, "Damn it, Great Lord, it was that one down there who deceived us! The previous "He" must have deliberately shown weakness to confuse us!"
How else could one explain that after the fierce battle between him and Arceus, both were injured, and the Great Lord needed the stone tablet brought by the little goddess to recover, but he was able to recover so quickly and burst out with such amazing power?
All this can only prove that He has been pretending!
Seeing this, Arceus made a prompt decision and shouted, "Don't worry about other things for now. Everyone, let's work together and do our best to stabilize this seal!"
Since there is no way to dispel the dark aura he released, the only thing we can do is to defend the sealing formation with all our strength.
As long as the seal is not broken, no matter how furious He is, it will be of no use!
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.
Then, they all eliminated the interference caused by the dark energy and devoted themselves to strengthening the sealing formation.
A steady stream of powerful force poured into it, and the condition of the seal gradually stabilized. The originally dense cracks also began to slowly close.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Suddenly, a deafening laugh rang out all around.
I saw a very dense dark air sweeping towards Qingyi like a torrent, instantly surrounding her tightly.
Arceus's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in shock: "Oh no, he is coming for Qingyi!"
At this moment, Arceus faces a difficult decision:
On the one hand, the sealing formation urgently needs his support; on the other hand, Qingyi, his successor, is in urgent need of rescue.
This put Him in a dilemma.
Arceus glanced at the six companions who firmly supported him, then stared at the seal that was gradually stabilizing. After a fierce struggle in his heart, he finally made a decision.
Just as Arceus was about to rush into the dark energy to rescue Qingyi, Qingyi's voice suddenly rang out from it, clear, loud and full of power: "Don't worry about me, the overall situation is more important!"
Hearing these decisive words, Arceus' heart trembled violently. After a moment's hesitation, he finally gritted his teeth and resolutely gave up the idea of going to rescue her. Instead, he devoted himself to consolidating the seal!
However, Qingyi, who was caught in the dark aura, was in much better condition than Arceus had worried about.
The being who brought her here did not take any further action, and even his figure did not appear.
Qingyi couldn't leave this place and could only sit there quietly. She had just consumed too much energy while transferring power to Arceus and urgently needed to rest and recover her strength.
She didn't feel anything obvious at the time, but as soon as she stopped, she felt weak all over and her limbs became limp.
Outside, Arceus and the gods were not afraid of the many obstacles brought by the dark energy, and faced the fierce attack from the one below.
They exerted their powers to the best of their ability, without reservation.
Needless to say, the other few people, the sense of mission given by their priesthood makes them willing to sacrifice everything, even their precious lives!
As for Mewtwo, he has the ambition to replace Mewtwo, so he is working harder and harder, putting all his effort into it, leaving no stone unturned!
This persistence makes Mewtwo even more powerful, its strength increases dramatically, and it bursts out with extraordinary powerful strength.
Mewtwo: No matter what monsters you are, you can't stop me from replacing Mew!
Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, as time passed, the originally dim sealing array once again burst into bright light, and the impact force transmitted from under the seal gradually weakened.
The only drawback is that the dark atmosphere surrounding them still shows no sign of receding.
At this moment, the dark atmosphere that originally enveloped Qingyi suddenly dissipated without a trace. After regaining the light, Qingyi stared blankly at everything around her.
In a flash, the dark energy around the Temple of Heaven gathered rapidly like a surging tide and condensed into an illusory figure that was no different from Arceus.
The only difference between the two is the color!
The shadow suddenly rushed towards Qingyi at lightning speed and was close to her in the blink of an eye.
Faced with such a sudden change, Qingyi, who had just emerged from the darkness, was caught off guard and took several steps back in horror.
Arceus quickly dodged and stood in front of Qingyi, staring at the shadow in front of him with a serious look.
Seeing this, the shadow took a step back and laughed mockingly: "Hahaha... Guangming, is this the human you chose? She is such a charming and pretty little beauty!"
"But she alone can't stop me!"
Arceus frowned tightly and did not respond to His words. Instead, he said in a very affirmative tone: "Darkness, it turns out that you have been pretending to be weak to confuse me all along!"
"When did it start?" Arceus thought for a moment and asked again.
They are both Arceus, originally one, but were split apart because of that incident. Since then, the two have developed completely different attributes and characteristics, one symbolizing light, and the other representing endless darkness.
So, they called each other by their natures.
Faced with Arceus' questioning, the dark Him also did not choose to respond directly. Instead, He uttered words full of provocation and arrogance.
“Hahahaha… Guangming, do you think you can trap me just like this? Wishful thinking!”
"It won't be long before I break free of this bondage and regain my freedom. By then, everything will be destroyed by me!"
As soon as the words fell, the dark shadow suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the dark aura around it also quickly retreated like a rising tide.
In an instant, the entire Temple of Heaven returned to its former tranquility.
Qingyi stared blankly at the direction where He disappeared, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. Is it really possible for her to deal with such a powerful existence in the future?
At this moment, Qingyi's inner confidence was slightly shaken.
However, Arceus' next words brought her back and made her wavering heart firm again!
Arceus's eyes became extremely cold, and his body emitted a layer of dazzling golden light, penetrating through the layers of sealing arrays. He stared directly at Him buried deep at the bottom of the Temple of Heaven, and solemnly declared to Him:
"Darkness, no matter what tricks you use, I will never let you get what you want!"
"No matter what challenges I face, I will defend the peace of this world to the death!"
Qingyi and the gods nodded in agreement, and once again worked together to consolidate the seal to ensure that the final barrier was foolproof.
After this thrilling experience, they deeply realized that the situation was far more urgent and serious than they had imagined.
This desperate fight against darkness has just begun...
Beneath the majestic Temple of Heaven, the Darkness stands quietly.
There was a gleam of wisdom in his deep eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world. There was no longer the arrogant and domineering look he had when he faced Arceus just now.
What Guangming said was absolutely right. For so long, he has been deliberately hiding his strength and pretending to be weak to confuse everyone.
In fact, the speed at which His power grew far exceeded the expectations of Light.
But Light is no pushover. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot easily break through the powerful seal that suppresses him.
In this case, it would be better to show weakness to the enemy first, quietly accumulate strength in the dark, and wait for the right time to break through the seal in one fell swoop!
Isn't it beautiful!
