AWB Chapter 727 Larval Rayquaza
Chapter 727 Larval Rayquaza
Its cold, yellow dragon eyes swept across the sky, as if inspecting its own dining table.
Immediately, the dragon's mouth opened slightly, and an invisible yet overwhelming suction force suddenly erupted.
“Swish, swish, swish—!!”
In the sky, the densely packed pink cores of tiny meteorites resembled a school of fish caught in a whirlpool.
Completely irresistible, wailing and trembling, they broke away from their original paths in droves, surging towards that abyss-like dragon's mouth!
Rayquaza didn't make any extra movements; it simply hovered there, as if swallowing a whale. With each suck, dozens or even hundreds of cores were swallowed into its mouth.
Immediately afterwards, a series of chilling and teeth-grinding "crack...crack...crunch..." sounds came densely from its throat.
That was the sound of a hard core being crushed by sharp teeth, and unstable energy within being forcibly chewed up.
Brutal and primitive, with an unquestionable sense of satisfaction that comes from a predator enjoying its prey.
Accompanied by the terrifying sounds of feeding, the dragon's might emanating from it became increasingly solid and heavy.
Amidst this suffocating pressure and the sounds of chewing, the pink sea of stars in the sky thinned and dimmed at a visible speed.
In just over ten seconds, more than half of it had dissipated.
"Hoo..." Zhang Leiyuan let out a long breath, his tense nerves relaxing slightly.
Although the origin of this black dragon was unknown, it at least temporarily relieved their immediate crisis. He observed Rayquaza with sharp eyes, but his brows furrowed slightly.
"Dad, this Rayquaza... it's the ruler of the skies according to the Pokédex, why is it suddenly here..."
Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but his vigilance remained. He asked in a low voice.
"Its sudden appearance here is not without reason."
Zhang Leiyuan spoke in a low voice and quickly explained to his son.
Rayquaza, according to legend, inhabits the ozone layer and feeds on meteorites that enter the atmosphere. It can be said to be the outermost 'natural barrier' of the Earth.
"These small meteorites are also one of Rayquaza's food sources, and given their sheer number and unusual energy fluctuations, it's not surprising that they've attracted them."
He paused, his gaze focusing on Rayquaza's relatively "petite" size—though still enormous and majestic, it was noticeably shorter than the fully-formed Rayquaza, which was over twenty meters long, as recorded in the annals.
"Judging by its size... this is probably not a fully mature Rayquaza. It's more likely... a juvenile or a sub-adult." Zhang Leiyuan's voice carried a hint of analysis.
"Moreover, it is naturally gluttonous. Its appetite for 'meteorites' seems to outweigh its judgment of whether the shrine that summoned the small meteorite is a threat to it."
Zhang Heng also began to use the system's capabilities to spy.

Items to bring: —
Zhang Heng understood.
A sub-adult legendary Pokémon that is not yet at its maximum level, is greedy, and may lack sufficient experience...
This explains why it was so "focused" on feeding, and seemed to lack sufficient vigilance towards the First Divine Beast eyeing it from below.
While the two were exchanging words, Rayquaza continued to feast, its tail swaying contentedly, as if the abundance of "snacks" was making it very happy.
However, high in the sky.
Behind the holy mask of the First Divine Punishment, a perceptible fluctuation finally emerged—not fear, but a deep displeasure at being repeatedly disturbed.
"You're the one who ruins things again..."
That voice, devoid of emotion or gender, rang out again, flat and indifferent, yet seemingly imbued with a chilling coldness.
"As expected... this isn't the first time." Zhang Leiyuan narrowed his eyes, catching the information in those words.
"It seems that this isn't the first time the First Divine Strike has used this technique to summon a meteor, and this Rayquaza... seems to always be able to smell the scent and come for a 'feast'."
As if to confirm this displeasure, the shrub standing beside the First Divine Punishment had a glint of light in his large blue eyes as he carried out the order.
"Oh no...!"
It let out a soft cry, and its small body emitted a pinkish-purple light that was completely different from the previous super-powered energy—it was an eerie and dazzling fairy-type energy!
Energy rapidly converged and compressed between its hands, instantly forming a constantly rotating, pinkish-purple energy ball that seemed to shimmer with stardust inside.
Without charging up, the ball of light was gently pushed out by Celebi the instant it took shape. As if traversing space, it shot silently yet swiftly toward Rayquaza, who was still focused on eating!
Fairy-type move - Magic Dazzle!
"boom--!!"
A ball of pinkish-purple light suddenly exploded above Rayquaza's head!
There was no earth-shattering roar, but countless sharp, needle-like, and aurora-like fairy-type energy rays burst forth!
Like a blooming flower of death, it instantly enveloped most of Rayquaza's head and neck!
“Ouch——!!!”
Rayquaza let out a sharp dragon roar, a mixture of pain and rage!
Fairy-type energy has a natural advantage against Dragon-type Pokémon, dealing double the damage!
These dazzling lights were like red-hot steel needles piercing its scales!
Its feeding motion suddenly stopped, its dragon eyes contracted sharply due to the intense pain, its body twisted involuntarily, and the flight-type energy flowing around its body became noticeably disordered.
Several seemingly indestructible black scales were charred and developed fine cracks under the erosion of the fairy's energy!
"Dad! Shall we make our move now?"
Zhang Heng's eyes sharpened, and his hands unconsciously clenched.
The opponent's attack on Rayquaza is precisely the time when their attention is diverted.
"hold on!"
Zhang Leiyuan held his son's wrist, his gaze fixed on the First Divine Punishment and the Shirabi like a hawk in hiding.
"Rayquaza has been disturbed while feeding. Given its pride and volatile temper, it will not let this go unpunished. Let them fight first! Once the First Divine Slayer's backup plan is forced out... that will be our best chance to counterattack!"
As expected, Rayquaza, who was ambushed, was completely enraged!
It violently shook its head, shaking off the remaining fairy energy, and its yellow dragon eyes were instantly filled with violent rage!
Deep within his throat, an indigo dragon-like energy, far more violent and pure than the rippling water, seemed to originate from the world-destroying dragon god and converged wildly!
Without any frills, the dragon raised its head, and a torrent of energy, solid as solid as a meteorite, roared out!
The energy dragon formed from the dragon's energy fluctuations was incredibly lifelike, with every scale and claw clearly defined, and its eyes burning with real fury.
Wherever it passed, even space itself groaned under its strain, leaving behind a long, lingering trail of indigo energy!
"This power..." Zhang Heng's pupils shrank sharply. He possessed the Dragon Stone Tablet, and with his Dragon Taming Power, his perception of dragon-related energy was extremely acute.
Rayquaza's attack contained a concentration and ferocity of Dragon-type energy inherent in a Level 1 Dragon-type Deity, which subtly surpassed the full-force attack of Ripple, who was carrying the stone tablet!
The indigo energy dragon bared its fangs and charged towards Silavi without hesitation!
For the first time, a serious expression appeared on Celebi's small face. It dared not slacken its guard in the slightest; the magical stone slab suspended above its head suddenly accelerated its rotation, bursting forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling pink light!
