Chapter 527: Genesis Disc
The burning worm lay on the jade worm slab of the round stone plate with its butt sticking up. Traces of light yellow essence energy slowly penetrated into its body, making it glow and its aura gradually became stronger.
Seeing this scene, Lin Shi did not stop it. He only had this one bug-type Pokémon, and this Jade Bug Slab was mainly used for it.
He then shifted his gaze to the round stone plate on which the slabs were placed. The symbol unique to Arceus on it was shining brightly, and his thoughts inevitably went back to yesterday.
In a reversed world.
"Deal? With me?"
Although they had never met, Lin Shi had basically confirmed the other party's identity at this moment, the Lord of the Reverse World - Giratina. Giratina was a legendary existence among legendary elves, so why would he choose to make a deal with him, a human?
"Yes, it's you."
Giratina's disembodied voice was decisive.
"May I know why?"
Lin Shi asked doubtfully.
Could it be that the other party had already seen through his identity as someone who did not belong to this world, or had known about the system he was using? If it was Giratina, this was not impossible.
"You got the Jade Bug Slate, right?"
hiss……
Lin Shi took a deep breath. Sure enough, they came here for this. Besides, there was nothing else on him that was worth Giratina's attention.
"Yes, I got it from the castle in the spirit world."
There's no need to lie, Lin Shi answered truthfully.
"So the deal you want to make is... take this jade bug slate from me?"
Lin Shi frowned and said, but he felt that this possibility was not great. After all, it was okay for the spire seal to block other Pokémons, but he didn't quite believe it could block Giratina.
"No, there is no point in me wanting that slate."
"And if I hadn't used the White Jade and Gold Orb to seal its energy, it wouldn't be there now, giving you the chance to take it away."
Giratina replied, and indeed, the seal on that stone slab was Giratina's masterpiece.
"What I want you to do is... retrieve all the slates!"
Giratina's voice was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and making Lin Shi's eyes widen.
What’s the difference between this and “Go and get rid of Tang Seng and his three disciples”? If he had that ability, he would still be here!
"what why?"
Lin Shi asked immediately, he didn't feel like he had anything worthy of Giratina's attention.
"Since you can get this slate, it means you have the potential to get other slates."
"and……"
Giratina paused, then continued.
"Humans may be more suitable holders of this creation stone tablet than elves."
"But I'm just an ordinary person, a trainer who has just reached the gym leader level. I don't know the whereabouts of the other stone tablets. How can I collect the other stone tablets?" Lin Shi frowned. Giratina's words still made him unbelievable.
“Are you really ordinary?”
Giratina's words made Lin Shi pause.
"Every gift from fate has already been secretly marked with a price. I think you can do it."
Lin Shi gritted his teeth and thought, you’re kidding, right?
"Don't worry. I'll give you some time. Within five years, you must find the whereabouts of the next slab."
Lin Shi pinched his forehead. If that was the case, then it was not impossible to accomplish. After all, he already had news about the icicle slab.
"Otherwise, you might lose something."
Lin Shi's expression was slightly moved. He raised his head and looked at the shadow in the darkness, and asked slowly:
"What is it?"
"Your life."
Giratina's voice was full of majesty, and Lin Shi seemed to see an emperor who was in a high position and had the power of life and death.
"If I hadn't used the power remaining in the cursed talisman to sense your faint breath and pulled you into the reversed world, you would have fallen into a deep coma by now."
"You have used so much energy to catalyze the energy, which has severely overloaded your body. Even if you don't die, you will be weak and sickly for the rest of your life."
Listening to its words, Lin Shi stretched out his hand and shook it, with an inexplicable expression.
"I have given you the incomplete power of overcoming. Not only is that power filled with new creative power that can allow you to recover directly, it can also give you special abilities."
"I'd like to exchange half of your life for this, human. Do you think this is a good deal?"
Giratina's words left Lin Shi silent for a while.
Suddenly, Giratina's voice became a little buzzing at this moment, and it felt like the signal was interrupted again.
"It seems that we don't have much time to communicate with each other."
"call……"
Lin Shi took a deep breath. In fact, he had no choice at all. If what Giratina said was true, he didn't want to spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed.
"Okay, I promise you, but I also hope you can understand that as a mere civilian, my abilities are limited, but I will do my best to find the whereabouts of the other slabs."
Lin Shi said while giving Giratina a shot of prevention.
But Giratina did not answer, as if Lin Shi’s agreement was not unexpected at all. Then a huge golden disc appeared in front of Lin Shi and slowly sank into the golden pattern in his hand.
"This is……"
Looking at the huge disc, Lin Shi suddenly couldn't help but tremble in his heart. This feeling was the same as when he first saw the Jade Bug Stone Slab.
"This is the Creation Disc, a prop that can hold the eighteen Creation Slates. You can place the Jade Bug Slate inside it."
"This will shield the unique energy of the stone slab, not only preventing the energy overflowing from the stone slab from causing harm, but also preventing its original power from attracting other elves to approach."
Without requiring him to use the identification system, Giratina told Lin Shi the function of the item.
Hearing this, his eyes lit up. This was a good thing. In this way, he could use the stone slab without any scruples, and not worry about being affected by its powerful force.
Li Taoyao is a typical example. It is very likely that she was affected by the energy of the ice slab, which led to excessive coldness in her body.
"Human boy, I give you the things. Take good care of the disc and the stone tablet. Since you have agreed, the deal has been finalized. If you cannot do it, I will personally send you to hell!"
Giratina's voice became weaker and weaker, and he seemed a little tired, but still full of murderous power.
"Try to collect as many slates as possible, for this world and for you..."
After saying this, before Lin Shi could react, Giratina had completely disappeared, and the pattern on his hand no longer emitted light.
"in addition……"
"I will also grant you the identity of the gatekeeper of the spirit world. You can explore the specific role yourself just like the power of super-control. As a gatekeeper, I hope you can help the gatekeeper elves on behalf of mankind within your ability..."
Suddenly, Giratina's voice appeared again, and then quickly disappeared. Lin Shi waited for a while but didn't hear the next sentence. This time it seemed to be really gone.
Then the space around him began to distort, and light slowly appeared. When Lin Shi opened his eyes, he had returned to the arms of Su Qimeng in the spiritual world.
Giratina had not lied to him, he was in amazingly good shape right now, with no signs of weakness at all.
Not only that, because of this new strength, even if he encounters the same situation again in the future, he should not fall into such an extremely weak state. It can be considered a blessing in disguise.
It’s this deal that sounds… outrageous.
