Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 180 Encounters in Another World
The black spike landed on the ground, exploding into a pool of black toxic water, and the alloy arena was corroded with shallow marks.

Gula flapped its wings, and the breeze stirred up by its emerald wings carried spore powder, weaving a hazy, shimmering net amidst the torrential rain of poisonous stingers.

Aromatherapy.

The strange fragrance and the toxins neutralized each other. Gula lightly touched the corroded and pitted metal arena with his toes. When he landed, plant seeds were scattered. Some tender shoots even pierced through the cracks in the alloy and bloomed into pale yellow flower buds on the poison-soaked ground.

Two-headed carnivorous plant.

These are rare offensive plants in the primeval jungle. Gula collected many seeds through the Spirit Tower, and each battle is a chance to nurture the plant garden.

With a light tap of your finger, you can connect the parasitic seed with the two-headed carnivorous plant.

The swelling body of the thorny caltrop suddenly froze, and fine vines continued to grow from its body. The wriggling thorns suddenly went limp, as if they had lost their strength.

He was astonished to find that his soul power was flowing continuously to the two-headed man-eating flower. The man-eating flower, which was originally the height of his calves, grew to three meters tall in a single breath. Its huge flower opened, revealing its tightly intertwined green thorns.

A gasp erupted from the audience—the back of the water chestnut had been covered with blue-purple flowers, swaying in the wind and rain, releasing hypnotic pollen.

When affected by pollen, the two-headed man-eating flower pulls out its roots. The two thick roots sway from side to side like two legs, moving slowly but very fast, completely unlike the slow movement of plant-type soul beasts.

Thornling dodged once with her combat experience, but she was exhausted and her speed slowed down significantly after dodging three times.

The two "heads" of the yellow and red carnivorous plant became increasingly adapted to the battle, biting the shoulder of the thorny rhizome and piercing the shoulder with green spikes, extracting its life force and soul power.

"Do you like the feeling of being sucked in?"

Gula snapped his fingers, and the vines wrapped around Thornling suddenly dropped a cascade of fruit, each containing Thornling's soul power and life force. These fruits could explode all at once or be slowly digested.

The black spirit ring flashed by, and the two-headed man-eating flower was stored in his spirit ring space, adding another plant soldier to his plant garden.

Thornling lay on the ground, its poisonous thorns broken off at the root, and it didn't even have the strength to stand up.

The referee's soul-guided counter emitted a piercing shriek, and the screen displayed the outcome of the battle.

Just then, the electronic announcement came on: "Winner, Gula. Advancement time: 49 seconds."

The coral indicator lights on the edge of the floating arena went out one by one, and the emerald glow belonging to Celebi also slowly went out. Gura shook his head, thinking, "It's so easy to absorb energy. When will I be able to cultivate a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Then I won't lack soul rings anymore."

The referee went up to the stage, examined the situation, and determined that Thorn was only slightly weak. He then told Gula to go down and wait for the next match.

The initial qualifying matches were fast-paced, but they also allowed the advancing contestants some rest time. About twenty minutes later, Gula stepped into the ring to face his second opponent.

After winning all four matches, Gula advanced to the round of 32 and will have to wait for the other players to finish their matches before starting.

Back in the team battle area, Xu Xiaoyan stood alone and longingly watching the three people compete on stage.

Seeing Gula return, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, and she waved her little hand: "Brother Gula, you're back! We don't need you here, I'll come cheer you on tomorrow."

"Okay."

Gula did not refuse, but the cheers of the audience were nowhere near as pleasant as the individual cheers of the cute girl.

Gula's quick agreement made Xu Xiaoyan blush and lower her head, giggling as she thought of something.

Gula turned his head, his eyes searching. Xu Xiaoyan quickly sat up straight, revealing an elegant and lovely smile, but Gula always felt that there was a distinct playfulness in the girl's eyes, as if she were a leaping elf.

Shaking his head, Gula looked at the Acacia Heartbreak Red in his Soul Ring Space. This thing has aphrodisiac effects? Or has his body reached maturity?

Gula circulated his soul power, but felt increasingly hot and restless. Even using ice-attribute techniques was ineffective. With a thought, he contacted his clone:

What are you doing!?

Groudon's consciousness roared, "Don't... contact me, release... Hoopa is trying to control me, help... share some of the burden."

Gula was speechless. How did he get involved with Hoopa's liberation? Was it part of the movie plot or something?
Chaotic consciousness emanated from the clone, but Gula was still able to control it, switching to the Sherabi martial soul and continuously releasing aromatic healing techniques.

"Wake up! You've already Mega Evolved, and you're just going to beat up Hoopa?!"

The match on stage was incredibly boring for Gura, so he simply shifted his consciousness to his clone and watched the battle in another world.

In the deep darkness of the city, six circular rings floated in the sky, revealing six enormous and majestic figures that exuded divine power.

Groudon is one of them, but compared to the other five shameful legendary Pokémon that were directly controlled, Groudon has completed its normal Mega Evolution and is more resistant to Hoopa's control, so it is stuck at the portal exit.

Hoopa, looking like a demon god, stared at Groudon with a malicious smile. Its six arms, which hovered around its body, shook, gathering energy into Groudon, determined to control it.

On the other side, a black Rayquaza, with overwhelming power, fought against five opponents without being at a disadvantage, igniting an earth-shattering battle in the city.

Groudon's arrival increased Groudon's soul weight and strengthened its resistance to evil forces. Groudon instantly became much more alert and aimed at Hoopa in the sky.

"Cliff Sword!"

This is the first time Groudon has been so embarrassed since it transmigrated, and its original body in another world even knows about it. It's a disgrace to the Shinigami!
A hint of surprise flashed in Hoopa's mischievous eyes, followed by an unwavering determination to achieve his goal.

"scare!"

Hoopa, who has been freed, is also a formidable fighter. He manipulates evil forces and fires six purple-black ghost balls in succession.

"beat him!"

Groudon lends its power to Groudon. While Groudon's strength is not comparable to that of legendary Pokémon, Celebi's presence greatly enhances Groudon's Special Defense and resistances.

Teleport!

Groudon's massive form suddenly vanished, only to reappear in the sky a moment later, opening its mouth behind Hoopa and gathering magma energy.

Fire-type ultimate move, massive fire breath!

A startled cry rang out from somewhere in the sky: "Groudan is flying!!!"

Groudon, with its excellent hearing, scoffed at these words, thinking they were making a fuss over nothing. Wasn't it common knowledge that the Earth God could fly?

The intense heat of the flames struck Hoopa from behind, slamming him into the ground, carving a deep crater, melting a large amount of rock and burying Hoopa.

Groudon knew that freeing Hoopa would allow it to travel through space, and especially since it would be unable to control itself, it was like freeing a golden ring for freeing Hoopa.
