Chapter 1562: Collapse and Sacrifice
The addition of Taile Bagos has undoubtedly completely overturned the balance.
Even though Sakaki didn't want to admit it, the power displayed by Su Hao and the legends was indeed beyond his expectations.
Even Dark Mewtwo X, who had acquired what could be called the "strongest" power, inevitably slid into the abyss of defeat.
——But, it doesn’t matter.
Behind him is the original tree of the world, which is being eroded from the root by the core of dark matter, the Creation Star.
Sakaki's mouth curled up slightly. Even if Dark Mewtwo X did not gain enough time, external factors have always been the same.
His eyes fell on the device in his hand that displayed the numerical values, and he was in a good mood.
[Degree of collapse of the foundation of a stable world: 78%]
Indeed, Necrozma Dawnwing in the Ultra Dimension connected to this world brought trouble to Dark Mewtwo X.
But its very existence is constantly destroying the stability of this world.
It helped Su Hao's side, but it also helped Sakaki and Sosei.
Even though the Creation Star's erosion of the World's Original Tree has not yet been completed, it is already very close to success.
Sakaki Tsuyoshi sent Solgaleo to assist Dark Mewtwo X.
As if it had been planned for a long time, a golden ring suddenly appeared at his side.
A pair of arms shot out from it like lightning, snatched the "Pot of Punishment" from Sakaki's hand, and then disappeared into the disappearing dimension hole.
"...Did you come here at the moment when Mewtwo's defense was flawed?"
"You were smart. You didn't choose something as impossible as trying to take my life. Instead, you chose a safer approach."
Sakaki ignored the angry voice of Sousei behind him, asking him why the "Pot of Punishment" was taken away, and his expression did not change at all.
In his opinion, when the degree of collapse of the foundation of a stable world reaches 80%, the army of dark matter will be able to enter this world, so what if a body with evil thoughts is taken away?
Even an evil thought, or even the super demon god Hoopa, cannot change the future that is about to end.
Looking at the space cracks that were spreading wildly around him, Sakaki knew that no matter how hard Su Hao and the others struggled, that moment was very close.
.......
"Hupalaolao!"
"Evil thoughts, get☆daze!"
Just like winning an SSR card, Little Hu Pa handed the Pot of Punishment to Su Hao as if he was offering a treasure.
"Well done."
After praising him, Su Hao did not open the pot of punishment immediately, but instead looked around.
The instability of the space made him frown deeply.
Logically speaking, when the extra-dimensional hole just appeared, his first choice should have been to fire a wave of missiles at Sakaki's face.
At that time, Sakaki had only one Genesect of a different color by his side, and Solgaleo was sent to the front line by him, which was undoubtedly the best opportunity.
But he still let Little Hupa grab the Pot of Punishment first.
——After all, Su Hao couldn't guarantee whether Sakaki had other means of self-protection, and whether Soxing, who was intent on eroding the original tree of the world, would come to his aid.
And Dark Mewtwo X's negligence was really limited to that moment. If it was a second later, the space around Sakaki would have been tightly blocked by it, making it impossible for Little Hupa, who had incomplete power, to do anything.
This is the best solution of no choice.
And there is something happening right now that cannot be ignored.
According to what Diancie told Crown of Flower's discovery, if Dark Mewtwo X is not captured, the situation will get completely out of control.
The stability of the world itself depends on whether dark matter can bypass Arceus who is blocking the door and send troops or even its own body to this world.
And now...it won't be long before that "safety" is truly broken.
Therefore, with the support of Tailebagos, the star-crystallized legends have also opened fire at full capacity, and their reckless attacks have caused Dark Mewtwo X to accumulate injuries.
If we continue like this, maybe we can end this battle before things get out of control.
——But accidents always come at the most unexpected moments.
Over the sky.
After being knocked back into the planet's atmosphere by Necrozma Dawnwing's attack, Mega Rayquaza let out an angry and long dragon roar.
In the space where the sun, moon and stars were blocked, under the wings of Necrozma Dawnwing that were strong enough to wrap around the planets, countless, densely packed ultimate holes opened up like honeycombs.
During the time that he was delayed by Super Rayquaza, Necrozma Dawnwing, who had not been able to achieve what he was looking for, did something crazy.
——It wants to open the Ultimate Hole and let the Ultimate World collide with this world, so that it can move more freely!
The troubles caused by this action are far more than what can be ended by the collision of two worlds.
Looking at the degree of collapse of the stable world foundation that was close to bursting out, even Sakaki couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha--"
"It seems that luck is not on your side?"
Above the crown of the World's Origin Tree, an inconspicuous space crack suddenly expanded, and then turned into a huge dark space vortex.
The breath of decay, evil, darkness and corruption came from the other side of the vortex.
There is no doubt that the breath came from the world belonging to Reshiram that has been occupied by dark matter.
On the other side of the vortex of pitch-black space, countless dark shadows were faintly moving.
That was a figure that most of the legends present who participated in the battle to protect the world did not want to recall.
"That is, an army of dark Pokémon belonging to dark matter."
Raising her hand and using "Star Crusher" to strike Dark Mewtwo X's body, the Bud Crown tightened the reins and spoke solemnly.
Reshiram's emotions fluctuated greatly. He knew clearly that on the other side of the passage was his former world.
"...It seems that the time has come to carry on the legacy of my best friend, my half."
Zygarde stopped releasing the "Core Punisher" with a calm and resolute expression.
Once upon a time, there were two Zygarde Core individuals in this world.
One represents sensibility and the other represents rationality.
As for the Sensibility Core, it sacrificed itself in the great war tens of thousands of years ago to differentiate countless Zygarde cells, blocking the passage for the dark matter army of the spiritual world to invade, thus buying extremely precious time for the arrival of the God of Creation Arceus.
Finally, as the core of reason, it inherited part of the origin of its other half and became what it is today.
"I'm sorry...Carlos, I can't seem to keep my promise to you."
Zygarde looked into the distance at the sky. At the same time, the girl in the underground shelter also felt something in her heart. She looked up at the shaking ceiling and felt as if something important was missing in her heart.
After taking a look from a distance, Zygard withdrew his gaze. He did not let his emotions hinder his decision, because he was the core of reason.
The entire body of the complete Zygarde was now filled with dark green light.
——That was a sign of "disintegration", and it was also the choice Zygarde made in order to prevent the arrival of dark matter as much as possible.
Countless Zygarde cells transformed into dark green meteors, streaking across the lightless night sky obscured by Necrozma Wings of Dawn, and then attached themselves to the pitch-black space vortex, using their physical bodies to block the vortex's further expansion.
Half-kneeling on the ground under the pressure of Dark Kyurem, Dark Mewtwo X, whose body was already covered with scars, raised his head and glanced there with an inexplicable expression.
After a moment, it whispered, "Pointless action, meaningless sacrifice."
"But that was Zygarde's choice, and the sacrifice was definitely not meaningless."
Super Mewtwo Y, which has transformed into Y form, quietly appears beside Dark Mewtwo X, and the energy of "Mind Break" is gathering madly.
For some reason, Dark Mewtwo X was quite calm at this moment, just when Super Mewtwo Y was wondering if the mouth cannon attack was no longer effective on it.
Dark Mewtwo X suddenly stopped releasing spiritual energy and said in a low voice, "Stop it."
Super Mewtwo Y & Dark Kyurem:?
After taking a look at them, Dark Mewtwo X said calmly: "That can only temporarily slow down the invasion of dark matter, but it cannot completely solve the problem."
Hearing this, Mega Mewtwo Y frowned deeply, "What do you mean, what are you planning..."
That being said, it, Dark Kyurem, and even the other Legends stopped concentrating their moves on targeting Dark Mewtwo X, which was already at the end of its strength.
Dark Mewtwo X stood up calmly, glanced at Lugia, Diancie and Xerneas who were fighting with Solgaleo, then glanced at Sakaki standing with his hands behind his back in the distance, and an ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You're right."
"Perhaps...if I had persisted a little longer and trusted my 'partners' a little more, everything would have been completely different."
"My hands will not be stained with the blood of sin."
Enduring the piercing pain in his body that was almost crushing his brain, Dark Mewtwo X had blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and his eyes were full of relief.
"And now, I want to try to resist again."
“This ominous body filled with negative energy may exist just for this moment.”
