AWB Chapter 449 Divine Envoy
Chapter 449 Divine Envoy
"Woohoo~"
The sound seemed to come from the depths of space, carrying a rhythm that was both familiar and strange.
He looked up at the center of the energy vortex and saw a semi-transparent outline slowly emerging in the void, which was the petite Doromecia.
"The little one's waking up? You seem to be sleeping quite comfortably..."
Although Giratina paused for a moment, the dark purple mist surging around her solidified again, and the dark matter beneath the scales scorched by water energy wriggled and repaired itself like a living thing.
Zhang Heng watched helplessly as its shattered right wing rapidly reassembled before his very eyes, while the violent red light in his blood-red pupils grew even stronger.
The viscous energy of the reversed world coiled around its body like a spider web, transforming into flowing bandages that greedily poured power into its wounds.
"Too bad..."
Zhang Heng couldn't help but think of taking out the Gene Wedge, which was the only hope of leaving this place. But if he activated it rashly, no one knew what would happen, or whether he would be crushed to death by the spatial rift.
"roar~"
Czechrom roared to the sky like thunder, and the electricity bursting from his dragon horns tore through the purple clouds.
The electric arcs swirling around its body suddenly surged threefold, its jet-black dragon scales gleamed with a metallic sheen, and each breath stirred up ripples in the space.
In contrast, Giratina spread its six wings, and dark matter condensed into sharp blades at the edges of the wings. The ground of the Inverted World beneath its feet began to collapse, forming a bottomless vortex that devoured all the surrounding energy.
Two immense pressures, powerful enough to distort space, collided violently!
Zhang Heng was thrown several meters away. The massive body of the Gigantamax Martial Arts Bear Master quickly shielded Zhang Heng and Bo Dang Shui, but let out a painful roar amidst the aftershocks of the battle.
The entire reversed world trembled violently, and the phantom chains transformed into a crimson torrent, frantically swarming and killing the two divine beasts.
Just as the momentum reached its critical point, that tender whimper rang out again, falling like a feather.
The energy in this space suddenly stagnated, Zekrom's dragon claw, which was about to strike, hung in mid-air, and cracks appeared on the surface of the dark matter sphere that Giratina had condensed.
The viscous purple mist eerily stopped flowing, and the wildly writhing energy tentacles froze instantly, as if controlled by invisible threads, freezing the scene in time.
The thick purple mist suddenly dissipated like the receding tide, revealing Dorgonmesia's translucent body.
The little creature spread its butterfly-shaped fins, let out a cheerful "woo-ee!" cry, and plunged headfirst into the surging dark matter energy of Giratina.
It gracefully circled around the two first-order gods, its crystal-blue tentacles occasionally brushing against Zekrom's trembling dragon scales, and then playfully slipping into the gaps between Giratina's unfolded six wings.
Zhang Heng's hands were so tense they almost gave way, and he stared at the scene in disbelief.
Even though Draco Messia is an extremely rare Shiny pseudo-legendary individual, Giratina, who is almost invincible in the Reversal World, allowed this tiny pseudo-legendary to rest on his massive body.
In the divine beast's blood-red vertical pupils, the violent light was gradually replaced by a soft, eerie glow, and the claws formed from condensed dark matter even curled up slightly, as if afraid of hurting the mischievous little guy.
Draco Messia suddenly stopped on Giratina's head, its translucent body rubbing affectionately against the legendary Pokémon's cracked scales.
The scene was as absurd as a toothpick rubbing against a giant tower, yet Zhang Heng could clearly sense it through his Dragon-Controlling Power—Dronmesia's emotions were surging with intense joy, like a long-wandering cub finally returning to its "mother's" side?!
"Ugh~"
Giratina emitted a deep rumble from its throat, which resonated throughout the entire Inverted World. However, this sound was no longer an angry roar, but rather carried a kind of clumsy soothing quality.
Just then, Dorgonmesia suddenly froze, and its butterfly-shaped tail fin trembled violently.
It seemed to sense the fluctuations in the power of the dragon, and suddenly turned its head to lock onto Zhang Heng, instantly transforming into a stream of light that broke through the energy vortex.
The little creature circled around Zhang Heng frantically, its tentacles affectionately wrapping around his wrist, emitting a series of coquettish chirps.
Although it has not yet been captured, the careful nurturing during this period, along with Gastly acting as a "matchmaker," has been a great help.
Draco Messia's relationship with Zhang Heng has long surpassed that of an ordinary trainer and Pokémon.
The atmosphere on the battlefield froze eerily. Zekrom suppressed the arcs of electricity crackling around him, and the currents leaping on his dragon horns gradually subsided.
The dark matter sphere that Giratina condensed disappeared with a "pop," and its six wings slowly folded into a protective posture.
The oppressive force that was once enough to tear space apart completely disappeared, replaced by a tranquility that made Zhang Heng's hair stand on end—a tranquility like the suffocating silence before a storm, or a harbinger that some kind of gears of fate were beginning to turn.
Zhang Heng's throat tightened, and he suppressed the shock surging within him. His voice trembled slightly as he asked Doronmesia, who was hovering beside him, "Little guy... what exactly happened? Why did Giratina suddenly..."
Before he could finish speaking, Doronmesia let out a series of cheerful chirps, its translucent body nuzzling his cheek affectionately, its butterfly-shaped tail fins leaving pale blue streaks in the air.
Zekrom's deep voice echoed in Zhang Heng's mind once more: "The aura of this Draco Mesia... resonates with the primal power of the Reverse World. It is the chosen messenger of Giratina!"
Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Zekrom with some surprise, completely baffled by this strange setup.
I have never heard of the concept of a divine messenger in either the original world or in the books I have consulted after arriving in this world.
"A divine messenger? What is that? A false god who has received the blessing of a divine beast?"
Zhang Heng's gaze swept back and forth between Dorgonmesia and Giratina.
Although Giratina still maintained its enormous and majestic appearance, the dark purple mist swirling around it had calmed down.
The violent light in its blood-red vertical pupils has been completely replaced by a gentle, eerie glow, as it quietly watches over Dorgonmesia, as if guarding some precious treasure.
Zekrom didn't look at Zhang Heng, but instead kept a close eye on Giratina ahead. However, he still managed to explain to Zhang Heng through telepathy.
"The gods who govern the rules of this world cannot be subdued. However, since gods are born in this world, they cannot transcend it and need a representative. The divine messenger is the messenger who finds a representative for the god."
From Czechrom, Zhang Heng obtained a direction he had never considered before.
The gods who govern the rules of this world, though revered as divine beasts, still need humans to help them accomplish certain tasks in this human-dominated world.
Throughout Pokémon history, there have been many combinations between humans and legendary Pokémon, as well as bonds that have resulted in a variety of stories.
Just like Zekrom and the idealist, and Lexiram and the realist, the idealist and the realist are the spokespeople for Zekrom and Lexiram.
Of course, this is not the most typical example. The most typical example is humans who possess superhuman strength. These people who possess superhuman strength should be the representatives of Arceus.
"So, the so-called divine messengers represent the will of God, searching for like-minded individuals in the world of human civilization to become God's spokespeople?!"
"You can think so."
"If I gained Doromecia's approval and arrived in this space, why was I still attacked by Giratina?"
Czechrom pondered for a while, seemingly having no answer to the question, his eyes, filled with electric light, also showing great confusion.
At that moment, a tooth-grinding sound, like the scratching of fingernails on a blackboard, began to echo through the space.
"Despicable alien humans, forcibly abducting my messenger."
As they spoke, Giratina's momentum surged once more, causing the Pokémon in Zhang Heng's team to become wary again.
"Abduction?"
Could it be that Giratina has already found a suitable spokesperson and sent out a divine messenger, only for me to intercept it in the end?
Zhang Heng was also a bit frustrated; no wonder the Master Ball couldn't get the ball back from Doron.
It turns out that the connection was severed by Giratina. Although the messenger was accidentally obtained by Zhang Heng, Giratina did not consider Zhang Heng to be a representative of their ideals.
"Damn it, when did I kidnap your divine messenger?"
Zhang Heng's roar echoed throughout the reversed world. Martial Arts Master Xiong and Bo Dang Shui were both very surprised. Zhang Heng had managed to provoke them at this moment, but he was still unable to lose and instantly adopted a defensive stance, with energy surging around him.
Giratina's massive body leaned slightly forward, and the dark purple hurricane stirred up by its six wings made the space groan under its strain. The violence that had just dissipated in its blood-red eyes gathered again.
"I originally thought that Giratina, who maintains the order of the main world and the reverse world, must be a magnificent figure, adding a grand guardian rule like the legendary Pokémon domain to this world."
At this point, Giradina's eyes seemed to brighten, as if a thoroughbred horse had finally found its discerning owner.
"I didn't expect this...sigh, it's disappointing..."
