"Helping Hand!"
Mammon decisively gave the order.
Ho-Oh, Dark Mewtwo Y, and Sword King Zacian all used help simultaneously.
Helping Hand: A Pokémon in the helping state will have its move power greatly increased for a short period!
Dragon God Kyurem, having received 'help', further amplified its power and roared as it charged towards Arceus.
Arceus calmly watched the charging Dragon God Kyurem, as white spiral energy continuously condensed around its body.
Normal-type Super Impact!
The next moment, Arceus and Dragon God Kyurem collided heavily in the center of the spatial golden rings.
Boom!
A deafening roar that made eardrums ache echoed across the entire sky, as two streams of energy, white and ice-purple, furiously clashed.
Substantial shockwaves rippled out in circles.
Mammon stared intently at the collision point of Arceus and Dragon God Kyurem.
This time, Dragon God Kyurem was not forced back!
In fact, Ice Burn already showed signs of gradually suppressing Super Impact.
"Well done, Kyurem!" Mammon's lips slowly curved upwards.
Meanwhile, Arceus, feeling increasing pressure, looked at the front with surprise and uncertainty in its eyes.
How could this be? Kyurem actually possessed such power?
It once again frantically drew energy from its body, and the spiral energy of Super Impact suddenly expanded by a circle, forcefully resisting the attack of Ice Burn.
"Photon Geyser!"
Mammon gave the order again.
"Guang Ah~!"
Ultra Necrozma raised its head and roared, as an incomparably huge golden orb pulsed and condensed in front of it.
Psychic-type Photon Geyser!
"Hoopa!"
"Hoopa understands!"
Hoopa Unbound grinned menacingly, and a spatial golden ring appeared in front of Ultra Necrozma.
Photon Geyser transformed into a massive golden beam and shot out, directly entering Hoopa Unbound's spatial golden ring.
Through the golden ring's teleportation, one of the spatial golden rings surrounding Arceus rippled continuously at its center.
The next second, a gigantic Photon Geyser shot out, directly aimed at Arceus, who was in the middle of a move exchange.
"?"
Arceus sensed trouble immediately, but currently locked in a struggle with Dragon God Kyurem, it couldn't evade at all.
Boom!
Photon Geyser exploded heavily on Arceus's body, and the vast and terrifying golden energy surged wildly.
The storm howled like a hurricane, and Dragon God Kyurem took advantage of the momentum to retreat a short distance, its dragon eyes fixed on the chaotic scene of golden energy ahead.
Photon Geyser had hit, that was certain.
But how much damage it could inflict on Arceus was unknown.
Mammon stared intently at that spot, unsure of the exact situation.
A moment later, the violent energy gradually subsided, and Arceus's figure once again appeared in everyone's sight.
"Truly impressive~"
Arceus soared into the sky, scanning Dragon God Kyurem and the other Pokémon.
"I didn't expect you all to be able to achieve this level, but..."
Arceus's gaze finally locked onto Hoopa Unbound, and its figure instantly vanished from its original spot.
"!!"
Hoopa Unbound was startled, a deep chill instantly enveloped its entire body, and it hastily drilled into its spatial golden ring.
Arceus is coming for me!
And indeed, the previous tactic was clearly carried out by teleporting through Hoopa Unbound's spatial golden rings.
Arceus saw the essence at a glance.
So, solving it was also very simple: just get rid of Hoopa Unbound.
"Rayquaza!" Mammon immediately ordered Black Rayquaza to rush over.
"Roar!"
Black Rayquaza also used Extreme Speed.
But Arceus was too fast; by the time Hoopa Unbound had half its body in the spatial golden ring, Arceus had already arrived.
Bang!
Arceus slammed heavily into Hoopa Unbound, simultaneously raising its two forelegs.
Bug-type X-Scissor!
Hoopa Unbound, being Dark/Psychic-type, was quadruple weak to Bug-type moves; if Arceus's X-Scissor hit.
Hoopa Unbound would definitely not be able to withstand it.
But Black Rayquaza had also arrived, and its Extreme Speed attack slammed heavily into Arceus's body.
Arceus stumbled from the impact; Black Super Rayquaza, also strengthened to its limit, had very high attack power.
At the same time.
Dynamax Cannon, Sacred Fire, Photon Geyser, Astral Barrage and other long-range moves were all assailing Arceus's position.
Arceus had no choice but to give up its attack and retreat to dodge these attacks.
Troublesome... Arceus narrowed its eyes slightly, looking at the Legendary Pokémon surrounding it completely.
Indeed, its expectation for this challenge was correct.
It had never experienced such a battle from the creation of the world until now, and its heart, for a long time, throbbed with excitement.
Fight!
The battle resumed.
Meanwhile, Dialga and Palkia, who were madly peeking from their spatiotemporal vortex, were now dumbfounded.
"Dialga, do I feel like this human has a chance to win? Oh my, Giratina is launching another dark sneak attack, and Father God has been hit again."
"It still feels a bit difficult, doesn't it? Look, one Rayquaza has been dealt with by Father God."
"But Father God also got injured again because of that; these guys are too despicable, ganging up on Father God so shamelessly."
"Then you go help Father God; Father God will definitely be very moved."
Dialga looked at Palkia with disdain; it spoke so righteously, yet it was just hiding here watching the show.
"I'm not stupid." Palkia said with righteous indignation.
In this battlefield, wouldn't it just be purely beaten if it went in? What's the difference between one against a dozen and two against a dozen?
And... cough cough, even if it really had to participate, it felt it should be on the side of the gang-up.
After all, challenging Father God Arceus was something Palkia had never thought of, but that didn't mean it didn't want to.
"Speaking of which, did Mammon invite you to challenge Father God together?" Dialga asked Palkia.
"What about you?" Palkia retorted.
"He invited me." Dialga didn't hide it, and this happened just yesterday.
Mammon specifically had Hoopa bring Dialga over, inviting him to gang up on Arceus, but Dialga hesitated for a while before choosing to refuse.
"Why didn't you agree?" Palkia was very curious.
"We are not like that dark fellow."
Dialga's dragon eyes flickered slightly, looking at the constantly moving Ghost Dragon on the battlefield.
Unlike Giratina, who wanted to resist Arceus, Dialga and Palkia were truly 'righteous gods'.
Why would they go against Arceus?
Wasn't that just being crazy?
Even if it was just a friendly challenge, Dialga still refused; it didn't want to be noted down by Arceus later.
Although, given Arceus's temperament, such a thing normally wouldn't happen.
But you never know, right?
So, for its future dragon safety, Dialga still didn't agree, although in reality, it was very tempted.
"Hmm, I think so too."
Palkia, for once, had the same thought as Dialga; great dragons think alike!
Helping Mammon challenge Arceus might be satisfying for a moment, but if life became difficult later, it would be troublesome.
"And, at first, I really didn't think Father God might lose."
Palkia looked towards the battlefield, where Arceus was once again found an opportunity and hit by Black Rayquaza and Ultra Necrozma, its eyes becoming incredibly strange.
In reality, Palkia truly didn't think Mammon had any chance of winning.
As a being created by Arceus, Palkia deeply knew how powerful Arceus was.
Especially Arceus with the wisp stone slab, it was strong enough to stand against the world.
It's no exaggeration to say that Arceus could single-handedly challenge the entire world and not be defeated.
"Mammon is very smart; if Father God doesn't use the wisp stone slab, there will always be a flaw."
Dialga was noncommittal; it also thought so at first.
But before the battle, Arceus said it wouldn't use the wisp stone slab, which meant Arceus was no longer the invincible god without flaws.
Otherwise, if the legend plate came out, they would just fight, and no one would dare to make a sound.
"But no matter what, this human has made history. Today's battle will forever be remembered in the long river of time."
Dialga sighed with emotion; worthy of being the man who could father Akari, truly extraordinary.
The fierce battle continued relentlessly, and as time slowly passed, Arceus's injuries became heavier and heavier.
When its proud power met an opponent capable of contending with it, its disadvantage as a lone Arceus would be magnified increasingly.
Dragon God Kyurem engaged in a head-on clash, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the other Legendary Pokémon could seize the moment to attack and hit it!
Arceus tried several times to get rid of Hoopa Unbound, the culprit using the spatial golden rings to redirect attacks, but Mammon protected Hoopa Unbound very well.
Instead, because of this, Arceus took a few more hits.
And in the middle of the battle, Eternatus Eternamax, Dark Mewtwo Y, Giratina, and other Pokémon also took the opportunity to strengthen themselves, boosting their power.
Even though Arceus subsequently defeated Ho-Oh, Sword King Zacian, and other Pokémon, it was of no use.
As the battle continued, Arceus's condition worsened.
Although its defense and stamina were very strong, it was not truly invincible.
Dragon God Kyurem and Black Rayquaza led the charge, with Ice Burn's power being terrifying.
Arceus had once again been confined within the spatial golden rings and could only meet the attack with Super Impact.
Seizing the opportunity, Black Rayquaza twisted its body and attacked from behind Arceus, Dragon Ascent piercing Arceus's back like a blade.
The pincer attack caused Arceus's pressure to skyrocket.
At the same time, Giratina's Shadow Sneak slithered in and slammed heavily into Arceus's flank.
With a loud boom, Arceus's Super Impact was finally broken, and its entire body was sent flying by Giratina's Shadow Sneak.
And at that very moment, Ultra Necrozma and their attacks shot out simultaneously.
Dynamax Cannon!
Prismatic Laser!
Darkest Lariat!
Stellar Burst!
Astral Barrage!
Transferred through Hoopa Unbound's spatial golden rings, several attacks instantly appeared in front of Arceus through the golden rings.
Then they hit.
Boom!!!
A terrifying explosion instantly soared into the sky, and Dragon God Kyurem and other Pokémon not far away were all blown away by the powerful shockwave.
Whole world lost it's color in that instant, eyes completely filled with the dazzling energy light.
Mammon's clothes rustled in the wind, and Victini sat on Mammon's shoulder, breathing heavily, somewhat exhausted.
It had also just transferred its energy to Ultra Necrozma and the others.
After a long while, this destructive energy finally gradually subsided.
Did we win?
Mammon stared intently at the center of the explosion, where the not-so-tall figure of Arceus gradually emerged.
Hoo Hoo
Arceus's figure gradually descended, landing back on the ground of the Hall of Origin.
Its once holy and pure white body was now black and white in patches, looking much more disheveled.
Its aura was also much weaker, but its eyes were still quite bright.
"Remarkable." Arceus tapped the ground with its golden hoof, its gaze turning to Mammon.
"Mammon, you are truly remarkable~!"
Arceus's gentle telepathy sounded again.
Hearing this, Mammon gestured for Black Rayquaza and the others to stop, because once these words came out, it was clear... "You have successfully defeated me, Mammon. I have seen the potential of your unity, it is very powerful."
Arceus's face showed a humanized smile, with a hint of sigh in its voice.
That's right, it conceded.
Although it could continue fighting, there was no point, because if it kept fighting like this, it had no chance of winning.
We won!
Mammon showed a heartfelt smile upon hearing this, and Black Rayquaza and the other Pokémon were also very excited at this moment.
Even Giratina, who was usually gloomy and taciturn, couldn't help but wag its tail in delight.
It had finally resisted Arceus!
"It was just a fluke, and it was only possible because you had limitations." Mammon said modestly.
"Hahahaha~ Even so, you did it."
Arceus didn't seem to mind much. From its not-so-tall body, a unique plate rose.
Unlike normal wisp stone slab, this plate was grayish-white, with complex and diverse patterns on it.
As the plate's light shone, Arceus's injuries rapidly recovered.
"Legend... plate!"
Looking at the grayish-white plate above Arceus's head, Mammon's eyes instantly changed.
Indeed, this Arceus really possessed the legend plate!
Thankfully, it was agreed before the battle that no wisp stone slab could be used, otherwise, what would be the point of fighting!
Once the legend plate appeared, Black Rayquaza and the others, even if they exhausted themselves to death, couldn't harm Arceus.
In the Pokémon universe, Arceus with the legend plate simply had two words written all over it: Invincible!
The light of the legend plate was not bright; under Arceus's control, this plate re-entered Arceus's body.
Arceus lightly tapped the ground with its hoof, and a gentle golden light emanated, like a spring breeze, instantly sweeping over the heavily injured Ho-Oh and other Pokémon, as well as the equally injured Black Rayquaza and its companions.
The warm golden light immediately healed their conditions.
"Mammon, today's battle was very enjoyable." Arceus's tone carried a hint of satisfaction.
Although it lost, it truly enjoyed the fight.
After all, from the creation of the world until now, Arceus had never experienced such a battle; it was very refreshing!
"As a reward for your successful challenge to me, I can grant you one request."
"Mammon, is there anything else you want?"
Arceus looked at Mammon with a smiling expression; it liked Mammon more and more, and indeed, Mammon did not disappoint it.
Can I have a little Arceus? Even one without wisp stone slab.
Mammon pondered whether Arceus would kick him with a hoof if he said that.
