LRAB Chapter 691 I, Zygarde, acknowledge you as the strongest!
Chapter 691 I, Zygarde, acknowledge you as the strongest!
Tianxi stretched out her small palm and placed it on the huge diamond that had begun to dim.
Light emanated from her body and flowed into the sacred jewel.
The dull diamond began to shine again.
Though faint and difficult, the sacred jewel began to shine.
"Tianci—!!!"
A gasp of surprise came from the entrance of the cave.
Daigo rushed in, followed by Sabrina.
The first thing he saw wasn't the massive black serpent confronting Zygarde, nor the Garchomp desperately fighting back, nor Li Shuwen standing at the very front—
It's Diancie!
That tiny, pink Pokémon made of diamonds!
"My God..." Daigo's voice trembled, "...Does such a Pokémon really exist in this world..."
His eyes were incredibly bright.
"So beautiful...so perfect..." he murmured, as if in a dream, "Her body is made of the purest pink diamonds, her eyes sparkle with starlight...this is...this is what I've been searching for..."
"Daigo!" Sabrina slapped him on the back of the head. "Choose your occasion!"
Daigo seemed to awaken from a dream.
He looked at the enormous, black snake, his expression changing drastically: "What is that?!"
"The malice of the ley lines." Sabrina's eyes flashed with blue light; she had already sensed the situation using her superpowers.
Diancie's life force was being drained away little by little as the light from the Holy Diamond poured in.
Her body was trembling slightly, her eyes were gradually dimming, and the pink diamond was fading at a visible rate.
"She's burning her life force!" Nazi exclaimed. "At this rate, before the Sacred Diamond is even fully repaired, she will—"
"You'll die!" Li Shuwen's voice was calm, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
Daigo's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"No..." His voice trembled, "I can't... I can't let her..."
He looked helplessly at Li Shuwen, then at Cynthia, then at Natsumi, like a drowning man grasping at a straw:
"Is there any way?! Is there any way to help her?! Any way will do! I'm willing to pay any price!"
Li Shuwen looked at him.
Seeing this usually calm and composed Hoenn champion now looking as helpless and panicked as a child.
He nodded.
"Leave it to me."
Li Shuwen raised his hand and threw out two Poké Balls.
Lucario, the Staff-tailed Kommo-o.
Cynthia didn't say anything, but also released her Lucario.
Two Lucarios and a Kommo-o stood beside Li Shuwen.
Li Shuwen closed his eyes.
Waveguide power surged from his body.
That clearly perceptible warmth is like the spring sunshine, like a spring in the deep mountains.
The power surged into Lucario and Kommo-o.
Then, all four waveguides lit up simultaneously!
Blue light flowed between Lucario's palms!
The chest of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon was shining brightly!
Under Li Shuwen's guidance, the four waveguides converged into one!
Azure light surged into Li Shuwen's palm, condensing, merging, and growing stronger within his body.
Then, Li Shuwen raised his hand.
A beam of azure light erupted from his palm and shone directly on Diancie.
Tianxi's body jolted suddenly.
The life force that was slipping away was stopped.
Those diamonds that had dimmed began to shine again.
The energy that was burned away is gradually being restored!
Tianxi opened her eyes and turned to look at Li Shuwen.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"You...how could you..."
Li Shuwen did not answer.
Sweat beaded on his forehead, his face was slightly pale, but his eyes remained calm.
"Continue," he said. "The Sacred Diamond isn't ready yet."
Tianxi gritted her teeth.
Turn around and continue.
The azure light continued to flow into her body, supporting and nourishing Diancie, preventing her from burning out before the repair was complete.
One minute!
Two minutes!
Three minutes!
The brilliance of the sacred diamond grew brighter and stronger.
The pink glow emanated from the sacred diamond, illuminating the entire cave, every crystal cluster, and every face.
boom--!!!
A pink beam of light shot up from the Sacred Diamond, piercing through the dome and soaring into the sky!
The earth's veins are now connected.
The surging malice was suppressed, purified, and dissolved by the pure fairy energy.
And that huge, jet-black snake—
In the instant its connection to the earth's veins was severed, it let out a final roar!
Its massive body suddenly twisted, and its thick tail, like a pillar supporting the sky, lashed out fiercely at Zygarde!
boom--! ! !
Zygarde's green body was sent flying backward by the lash of its tail!
It tumbled through the air more than a dozen times before crashing heavily into a rock wall a hundred meters away, creating a huge crater!
"Zigeld!" Cynthia exclaimed.
Then, the large, black snake turned its head.
Its dark red eyes were fixed on Li Shuwen.
Staring at this human.
This human thwarted its plans.
This prevented it from devouring any more human lives.
It opened its enormous maw, and the dark energy deep within its throat began to gather once more—
Li Shuwen raised his hand.
His right hand was trembling slightly, his face was as pale as paper, and sweat was pouring down his forehead.
But he raised his hand.
A ball of white light began to condense in the palm of his hand.
One True Energy Bomb.
The size of a fist.
Thick white like milk.
It floated quietly in Li Shuwen's palm.
The next second, Li Shuwen gently pushed it out.
The white energy blast flew out from his palm.
Unhappy.
It's even a bit slow.
Like a pebble that has been gently tossed.
But the trajectory of the energy blast distorted space.
The pervasive black mist evaporated the moment it touched the white energy blast.
The remaining roots and vines withered wherever they went.
The white energy blast struck the body of the pitch-black serpent.
A white light exploded from the point of impact, instantly engulfing the entire pitch-black serpent.
Wherever the light passed, the black body vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.
The fifty-meter-long giant snake, amidst the white light, disintegrated little by little, like a thin mist under the blazing sun, returning to nothingness.
The white light dissipated.
The cave was completely empty.
The enormous, dark serpent that blotted out the sky vanished completely, leaving not a trace.
Only the faint black mist remaining in the air, being purified by the fairy's energy, proves that it once existed.
Everyone was stunned.
Zygard climbed out of the rock wall, shook his head, and looked at Li Shuwen—
Then, its eyes suddenly widened.
There was no shock in his eyes.
It was horror.
Having lived for thousands of years, Zygarde has seen countless powerful figures, countless battles, and countless world-destroying forces—
But it had never seen a human deliver such a blow.
His attack just now was comparable to that of a legendary Pokémon.
Cynthia rushed to Li Shuwen's side and supported his swaying body.
"Shuwen!" Her voice was filled with unprecedented anxiety. "Are you alright?!"
Li Shuwen looked up at her.
A faint smile appeared on that pale face.
"It's nothing," he said, his voice as soft as a wisp of smoke. "Eat more... and you'll recover."
Cynthia was stunned.
Then she realized she didn't know whether to laugh or curse.
This guy...
Kidd walked over.
It stopped in front of Li Shuwen, raised its head, and looked at the human.
a long time.
"I have lived for three thousand seven hundred years," it said in a deep voice, carrying an ancient echo. "I have seen more humans than there are stones on the ground."
"But someone like you..." it paused, "I would call you the strongest!"
