—------------------—
Above the Hall of Origin, the battle was still ongoing.
Bang!
Arceus's Extreme Speed heavily slammed into Primal Kyogre, which cried out in pain, its entire body sent flying.
But the next moment, two massive fists brutally hammered the location where Arceus had been.
Hoopa Unbound's Dimensional Fury!
Arceus detected it instantly, and a golden barrier lit up.
Boom!
Dimensional Fury struck the barrier, but it couldn't break through; Arceus's energy barrier was too thick.
However, the instant Arceus's barrier disappeared, Terapagos's Stellar Burst shot out from behind Arceus.
Arceus turned around and unleashed a Hyper Beam, a massive Hyper Beam of astonishing power that directly scattered all the Stellar Burst in front of it, its momentum unchecked as it slammed into Terapagos.
Terapagos roared in pain, sent flying by the Hyper Beam.
But at the same time, just as Arceus was using Hyper Beam, Dark Lugia and Yveltal's attacks had already been launched.
Dark Storm!
Death Wing!
Two attacks rapidly shot towards Arceus.
Arceus frowned slightly; these attacks came too quickly. Even though it was Arceus, it wasn't truly invulnerable.
At this moment, raising an energy barrier would probably be too late.
Rumble!
Dark Storm and Death Wing heavily struck Arceus, the intense roar deafening.
"It hit!"
Hoopa Unbound was delighted; after fighting for so long, they finally had an effective attack.
Mammon's gaze was also fixed on that spot.
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and a figure slowly stepped out from it—it was Arceus.
However, Arceus's body was no longer spotless.
The Dark Storm and Death Wing just now had indeed hit Arceus; there was no mistake.
But this damage... "Its inherent defense is also so outstanding."
Mammon narrowed his eyes, but this was also within expectations. Even without the golden barrier, Arceus's defense would certainly be excellent.
"It was indeed right of me not to underestimate you all."
Arceus's green eyes scanned its surroundings. It hadn't expected them to injure it so quickly.
Although, for its defense, this attack wasn't a very heavy injury.
Arceus had approached this challenge with a cautious mindset from the beginning, but it still got injured when it wasn't paying attention.
This made Arceus somewhat pleased, but it also ignited an even stronger fighting spirit.
"Then, next, I will be more serious."
Upon hearing this, a look of caution flashed in Mammon's eyes. Previously, Arceus had actually only used two moves: Extreme Speed and Hyper Beam.
But even so, it was already extremely difficult to deal with.
After all, Arceus's base stats were simply too high, but ultimately, it was a single entity, and when ganged up on, it would always show weaknesses.
So Mammon wasn't particularly flustered. Could it really instantly defeat all the Pokémon present?
"It'll be ready soon."
Mammon glanced at Ultra Necrozma and the others; the enhancement was about to end.
At this moment, Arceus's body floated high, and it tilted its head upwards.
A white energy sphere rapidly condensed, and then Arceus sent it into the sky.
Arceus's signature move, Judgment Light Shard!
Although Arceus only had one signature move, the type of Judgment Light Shard would change according to the type of wisp stone slab Arceus used.
So, strictly speaking, the eighteen forms of Judgment were not a joke, because it truly had the equivalent of eighteen signature moves!
And at this moment, Arceus was Normal-type, so the type of this Judgment Light Shard was, of course, Normal-type.
Rumble.
The Judgment Light Shard exploded heavily in the high sky, and energy spheres, like meteors, fell from the sky, resembling a meteor shower.
"Protect!"
Mammon decisively ordered all Pokémon via telepathy.
The many Pokémon immediately began to condense Protect. That Judgment Light Shard was definitely not something that could be easily withstood.
However, it wasn't that easy.
Arceus's gaze was like a torch, and it quickly locked onto Dark Lugia.
Dark Lugia was preparing to use Protect when its vision blurred, and Arceus's figure had already appeared close by—it was too fast.
Bang!
Arceus's Extreme Speed slammed brutally into Dark Lugia's abdomen, and intense pain instantly spread throughout Dark Lugia's body.
The next moment, Arceus's mouth condensed a Hyper Beam.
Boom!
The Hyper Beam exploded on Dark Lugia, and amidst the violent roar, Dark Lugia fell towards the ground like a kite with a broken string. After landing, Dark Lugia was also hit by a Judgment Light Shard.
The unlucky Pokémon ultimately couldn't hold on and directly lost consciousness.
Too fast!
The Judgment Light Shard was still showering down on everything. Having dealt with Dark Lugia, Arceus's gaze locked onto Yveltal.
Hmm, it didn't hold grudges.
It was just that these two guys had been constantly harassing it with attacks from the side, which was very troublesome.
Yveltal, hiding within the Protect barrier, felt a chill run through its body for some reason.
As the Judgment Light Shard's assault passed, the Protect barrier dispersed, and Arceus moved instantly.
Extreme Speed was too fast; no one could stably lock onto Arceus before it stopped.
So, in a sense, Extreme Speed Arceus was truly too formidable.
Bang!
Arceus slammed heavily into Yveltal's back, and Yveltal was immediately sent flying.
Hyper Beam!
The next moment, Arceus spewed a Hyper Beam from its mouth. The Hyper Beam pursued and struck Yveltal, exploding heavily.
But after the attack ended, Arceus immediately condensed a barrier.
Dynamax Cannon, Origin Pulse, and Core Enforcer all struck at the same time but were all blocked by the golden barrier.
Golden spatial rings surrounded Arceus's body. The golden barrier on Arceus gradually dimmed as it looked at the four golden rings in front, behind, left, and right.
It was this trick again, useless.
Super Rayquaza's roar sounded, and the green light of Dragon Ascent pierced the sky, shooting straight down.
White spiral-shaped energy condensed around Arceus's body—Giga Impact!
Boom!
Giga Impact and Dragon Ascent collided violently, and strong gusts of wind howled and spread.
However, the next moment, as Arceus exerted its strength, Super Rayquaza couldn't resist. The energy of Dragon Ascent dissipated, and it itself was heavily sent flying by Arceus.
But at the same time, within the spatial golden rings, a low, majestic dragon's roar sounded.
Dragon God Kyurem, whose enhancement had ended, emerged from within the spatial golden rings with an imposing and powerful aura. Ice Burn directly struck Arceus.
The formidable power made Arceus turn around instantly.
These golden rings weren't for Hoopa to attack, but to transfer Dragon God Kyurem and the others!
Arceus felt Dragon God Kyurem's power, its eyes flickering slightly.
"Helping Hand!"
Mammon commanded again.
The offense and defense had switched!
