Chaotic energy continued to gather and condense throughout the battlefield.
Upon witnessing this scene, the expressions of the three city lords all turned extremely grim.
Clenching their fists, they grit their teeth and forcefully stimulated the power within their bodies once more, transmitting the strength of will, emotion, and knowledge into the Three Lake Guardians.
"We cannot give up like this—for Sinnoh!"
Azelf's figure floated up once again, seven-colored light flickering across its body as it charged back toward Dialga and Palkia in the sky.
Mesprit and Uxie followed closely behind. Their psychic power rapidly condensed, transforming directly into brilliant seven-colored radiance. The three beams of light intertwined continuously, forming spiraling strands as will, emotion, and knowledge fused together as one!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The power of will, emotion, and knowledge relentlessly crashed against the chaos.
However, even with such overwhelming strength from the Three Lake Guardians, they were still unable to shake the chaos in the slightest. Terrifying powers of space and time continued to spread outward in all directions.
Seeing this, the Three Lake Guardians hurriedly moved to the side of the three city lords and used teleportation to bring them to a safe location, preventing them from being eroded by the forces of space and time.
"Damn it… is there really no way to stop this?" Eva clenched her fists tightly.
At this moment, Aven's figure involuntarily surfaced in her mind. But everything before them now could only be stopped by the three of them!
"We have to stop them!" Mira said with a grave expression.
All this time, it had always been Aven who protected this continent. This time, it was finally their turn!
As the three city lords gathered their power once again, the Three Lake Guardians charged toward Dialga and Palkia yet again, unleashing relentless psychic assaults as they clashed with the two Creation Dragons.
But when facing these mythical beings, the Three Lake Guardians were still far too weak. Even working together, they were quickly overwhelmed, their figures gradually swallowed by the chaos.
At this moment, a deep sense of despair and helplessness rose in the hearts of the three city lords.
"Hahaha! I told you—no one can stop me anymore!" the sorcerer leader laughed arrogantly as he watched the scene unfold.
At the same time, the power of chaos continued to strengthen, causing the entire Spear Pillar to tremble faintly. Spiderweb-like cracks began appearing throughout the space itself!
"Is that so?"
Just then, a calm, faint voice suddenly echoed through this strange space.
The sudden sound stunned everyone. When they realized who the familiar voice might belong to, the three city lords widened their eyes in disbelief.
In the next instant, a black hole abruptly appeared within the chaotic space. A streak of ghostly light shot out from it, transforming into a figure resembling a bobbit worm, with six phantom-like wings extending from its back!
And standing atop that figure's head, they saw the familiar person they had thought of countless times. At the final moment of this battle, Aven had finally arrived!
"Looks like I made it in time."
"I didn't expect the other passage that destroys the world to connect directly to this special space known as the Spear Pillar."
Aven swept his gaze across the surroundings. When he saw Dialga and Palkia suspended in midair, his eyes narrowed slightly. In the end, the sorcerer organization's plan had still succeeded.
"This is… the legendary third Creation Dragon, Giratina?"
Standing atop Palkia's back, the sorcerer leader frowned deeply as he looked at the suddenly appearing figure.
He knew that according to Sinnoh's myths, there were three Creation Dragons. However, he had never managed to grasp any clues about the last one.
Yet now, at the very moment his plan was about to succeed, Giratina appeared—and it even seemed to be standing against him, intending to stop his next actions.
As his gaze shifted, he also saw Aven standing on Giratina's back. Though he had never met Aven before, he instinctively recognized the identity of the person before him.
But so what? The opponent only had Giratina. In his hands, he controlled both Dialga and Palkia. Even in a frontal confrontation, he feared nothing!
"Dialga, use Roar of Time!"
"Palkia, sever the enemy's connected space entirely!"
As he spoke, red light glowed from the sorcerer leader's palm as he controlled Dialga and Palkia to launch their attacks.
"Giratina, use Shadow Ball!"
On the other side, Aven also commanded Giratina to attack.
At this moment, he was holding the "yellow crystal" in his hand—or rather, it should be called the Griseous Orb, the item capable of establishing a connection with Giratina.
TN: Ok, my mistake with changing it to grey crystal.
When Aven previously encountered Giratina in the Distortion World, the Griseous Orb had naturally activated, forming a special bond between him and Giratina.
Later, perhaps sensing the changes occurring at the Spear Pillar, Giratina brought him directly through the passage connecting the Distortion World and the Spear Pillar, arriving just in time for this battle!
"GIRAAAAA!"
Giratina let out a thunderous roar, ghost-type energy rapidly gathering within its mouth before blasting outward!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Three immensely powerful attacks collided in midair, triggering a violent explosion!
A fierce shockwave surged toward Giratina, but it was blocked as Giratina wrapped itself with its wings.
"GIRAAA!"
It roared toward Aven on its back, and immediately afterward, the Griseous Orb began to emit light.
Within the glow, Giratina's form began to change, shifting from its bobbit worm-like shape into its dragon form.
Before long, Giratina transformed into its gray dragon form. A golden half-ring encircled its neck from behind, massive ghostly wings extended from its back, and six thick legs with claws supported its body below.
After successfully completing its transformation, Giratina's figure suddenly turned into a streak of ghostly light and vanished.
When it reappeared, it was already beside Palkia, launching a direct attack toward the sorcerer leader standing on its back!
However, just as Giratina was about to strike, a spatial barrier abruptly appeared, blocking its attack.
BOOM!
Shadowy energy surged violently, causing the entire space to tremble.
Soon after, spiderweb-like cracks appeared throughout the space, spreading rapidly in all directions.
"Hmph! Palkia, use Spacial Rend!" the sorcerer leader snorted coldly.
Under his command, Palkia swung one arm, instantly slicing the entire space in half as the cut spread rapidly toward Giratina.
Seeing this, Giratina suddenly dove into the shadows and disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already on the opposite side of Palkia.
This was Giratina's exclusive move, Shadow Force allowing it to travel freely between the Distortion World and the real world to attack and evade.
"DIAAA!"
On the other side, Dialga also launched its attack, unleashing Roar of Time.
In an instant, the three Creation Dragons were locked in battle. Time, space, and antimatter—the most fundamental forces of the world—collided endlessly, making the entire Spear Pillar space seem on the verge of collapse.
