Rayquaza was furious.
But saving Aiden instantly wasn't so simple.
Its massive body dominated the skies, yet unlike Giratina, it did not possess the innate concealment ability granted by the Reverse World.
Laughter echoed through the distorted dimension.
Giratina's manic laughter.
Rayquaza's enraged roar.
"It doesn't matter," Giratina sneered. "Kill you, and I'll still take the Griseous Orb!"
Its Shadow Claw descended.
At that critical instant—
Aiden's eyes flared violet.
Psychic light arced from the corners of his gaze, his figure lifting slightly in the warped gravity of the Reverse World.
A colossal surge of psychic power condensed into a radiant purple barrier around him.
Shadow Claw slammed down.
Crack—
Crack—
The shield trembled violently, fissures spreading across its surface.
Then—
The attack ended.
The barrier shattered.
Aiden stood unharmed.
Giratina's crimson pupils contracted.
"How… is that possible?"
Before it could react further—
Rayquaza arrived.
Dragon Ascent.
Divine draconic energy engulfed its body as it descended like a falling star.
Protecting Aiden was its absolute priority.
And Giratina had just crossed the line.
The impact was catastrophic.
Giratina was blasted backward, distortion waves rippling outward.
Dragon-type power was devastating—even to a being of its caliber.
Pain ignited something savage in Giratina's gaze.
"Impossible! A mere human cannot block my attack!"
Doubt flickered in its mind.
Had endless imprisonment weakened it?
If this was its current power—
Challenging Arceus would be suicide.
For the first time—
Giratina hesitated.
Then Rayquaza's body erupted in prismatic light.
Mega Evolution activated.
Golden whiskers streamed as its aura expanded violently.
Mega Rayquaza now stood equal—even superior—to Giratina within the Reverse World itself.
But Aiden wasn't finished.
He knew Giratina's nature.
Violent.
Proud.
Unyielding.
If he wanted obedience—
He would have to break it completely.
Several Master Balls appeared in his hand.
His voice turned cold.
"Giratina. Did you think attacking me would come without consequences?"
Red light burst across the distorted sky.
Another Rayquaza emerged.
A black one.
Shiny. Mega Evolved.
It positioned itself behind Giratina, cutting off retreat.
To the left—
Kyogre.
To the right—
Groudon.
Four Primary Legendaries.
Completely encircling Giratina.
Shadow Force?
Nowhere to run.
Even if it phased—
One of them would intercept.
For the first time—
Giratina felt unease.
"How… do you possess four gods?"
—
Rayquaza could fly naturally.
Kyogre? Its mythic form was akin to a leviathan of the skies—flight was plausible.
But Groudon?
Without Aiden's psychic support holding it aloft—
It would have dropped straight into the abyss.
Groudon was, however, extremely pleased.
It was flying.
Again.
No more "can't fly" slander.
Kyogre glanced sideways.
"How are you flying again?"
Groudon roared.
"I've always been able to fly!"
Kyogre immediately understood.
"…He's showing off again."
—
Aiden's voice echoed.
"Kyogre. Groudon. It tried to kill me."
"Groudon—you don't want to lose your flying privileges, right?"
"Kyogre—you don't want to watch Groudon flying around every day, do you?"
Psychic suggestion was minimal.
It didn't need to be stronger.
The rivalry did the rest.
Both ancient rivals ignited instantly.
Primal Reversion.
Primal Kyogre manifested in roaring torrents.
Primal Groudon radiated volcanic fury.
Both Rayquaza forms were already Mega Evolved.
Four fully empowered gods.
Even the Shiny Mega Rayquaza alone was overwhelming.
Now—
It was excessive.
What followed could barely be called a battle.
It was an execution.
Mega Rayquaza and Shiny Mega Rayquaza unleashed Dragon Ascent simultaneously.
Twin unstoppable draconic forces slammed into Giratina.
Explosion.
Distortion ruptured.
Giratina was hurled across the void, scales cracking under the force.
Before it could stabilize—
Origin Pulse erupted from Primal Kyogre.
Precipice Blades tore upward from Primal Groudon.
Both struck cleanly.
The Reverse World trembled violently.
Giratina roared—
Not in fury.
But in pain.
For the first time in countless years—
The god of antimatter was being utterly overwhelmed.
