Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 255 Temporary Consensus

Gu Yue's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

In her perception, the soul power within Na'er's body was like liquid silver mixed with stardust; it seemed to still flow freely, but in reality, it had undergone a fundamental change.

Those strange energies that shimmered with a metallic luster were neither like any known metallic element in the Douluo Continent, nor like pure light attributes; instead, they carried an aura of laws that transcended cognition.

"The domineering nature of the dragon attribute, the resilience of the metal attribute?"

Gu Yue muttered to himself, his fingertips unconsciously increasing the pressure.

She had never seen such a perfect fusion of attributes. It was like combining flames and ice into a completely new substance, retaining their individual characteristics while achieving an incredible balance.

The Pokémon captured by Groudon have essentially undergone a transformation. Because the world is different, the changes are mainly reflected in energy and attributes.

However, the main source of energy is still soul power, only it carries some characteristics of Pokémon energy.

This is also why Gu Yue felt that the fusion with Na'er would be hindered. Originally, there was only a flaw left in her mind, but now even her body and energy could not be perfectly matched.

Because Na'er has some things inside her that don't belong to this world.

Na'er suddenly groaned, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Gula immediately stepped forward to dissuade her, saying, "That's enough."

Gu Yue seemed not to hear, and instead intensified her investigation.

She had to figure out what force could sever the fundamental connection between the Silver Dragon King and his clone.

As the investigation deepened, her expression gradually changed from indifference to shock—the foreign energy was not simply attached to the surface of the soul power, but rather like a drop of water mixed into the ocean; though few in number, it was omnipresent.

"What exactly is this seemingly plausible but actually flawed rule?"

Gu Yue withdrew her finger, her silver eyelashes trembling slightly. No matter how intelligent she was, she would never have imagined that this was energy from another world.

But she finally understood why she couldn't blend with Nar—it was like trying to blend ink into oil paint; they both seem like liquids, but their essences are completely different.

Gula spoke up at the opportune moment: "Now do you understand? Devouring Nar will only make you impure."

He twirled the high-grade ball in his hand, its metal casing gleaming coldly in the setting sun. "Now can you listen to me?"

"Shut up!"

Gu Yue interrupted sharply, her silver hair fluttering even without wind. As a half-dragon god and the ruler of all soul beasts, how could she continue to compromise?
But when she looked at Na'er, her pupils involuntarily contracted.

This former clone was now surrounded by energy fluctuations that she couldn't decipher—a change that even she couldn't comprehend.

Na'er's slender fingers gently pressed against her chest, where the high-grade sphere, now a pendant, rested. The cold metal surface, warmed by her body heat, vibrated slightly with her heartbeat.

She could sense Gu Yue's inner turmoil, like the sudden drop in air pressure before a blizzard, an invisible pressure that made her breathe cautiously.

"You've actually thought it through."

Na'er's voice was soft yet firm, "Even if you devour me and regain your full power, you still can't do anything to my brother who is protected by the Sea God and the Lord of the Planes."

She saw Gu Yue's pupils contract slightly, his silver eyelashes trembling in the moonlight. In the distance came the sound of waves crashing against the rocks on the lake, the rhythm of the tides seemingly echoing this conversation about fate.

“When the time comes, the gods will return…” Na’er took a step forward, the sea breeze lifting her silver hair. “The sea god has discovered that you are not developing according to his plan. Do you think that you alone can be a match for the gods of the divine realm?”

A faint silver light flickered at Gu Yue's fingertips, but quickly faded. Na'er's words were like sharp blades, peeling away layer by layer Gu Yue's hard defenses.

“Or perhaps…” Na’er’s voice became low and solemn, “offering the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King to save her life and fulfill the wish of a new Dragon God belonging to the Sea God lineage?” As she spoke, Na’er’s voice became erratic, like a wisp of mist that might dissipate at any moment.

Because in the Sea God's scheme, it is clear that her alternate personality is merely an emotional anchor point that binds the Sea God's son, a pawn that can be discarded at any time.

Everything that followed had nothing to do with her "accident".

Na'er looked up at the sky, tears welling in her eyes.

As night fell, the twinkling stars seemed to mock her insignificance.

There is no place for Na'er in this world.

Perhaps the merged "Gu Yue Na" possesses a trace of her own emotions, but ultimately, Gu Yue is the dominant force. Human memories and emotions can be diluted, just as salt dissolves in the ocean.

She suddenly remembered Tang Wulin's warm smile, and the figure that always protected her. This memory made Na'er's heart clench as if by an invisible hand, but she quickly adjusted her breathing, casting aside these complicated thoughts, and revealed a bright and radiant smile:

"Or, you can take a gamble and see if the divine realm that raises humans and harvests their faith is willing to give up the position of a dragon god for the sake of a human realm."

Gu Yue's face grew even paler, the moonlight casting varying shades of shadow on her features. Na'er knew she had hit the nail on the head.

"You only have one option: to cooperate with us."

Nar turned to Groudon, who was standing to the side, and was thoughtfully stroking the Poké Ball in his hand. "According to Groudon, if we try to become God Kings together, we will have a chance to take the initiative in the future, instead of becoming the object of our schemes."

Nar's words were clear and logical, making Gula raise an eyebrow and doubt his stereotype of the Silver Dragon King being love-struck.

The evening wind grew stronger, causing the three men's robes to flutter wildly.

Gu Yue's face grew even colder, and the surrounding temperature plummeted. The weather changed with her mood, but she had to calm down because Na'er's words were like sharp arrows piercing her heart, hitting the most crucial point.

Tang Wulin was protected by the divine thoughts of the plane master and the sea god. Even the Silver Dragon King, who was reincarnated, had the help of ferocious beasts such as Di Tian, ​​but he could not obtain the Golden Dragon King's divine core and thus could not complete himself.

When the time comes, facing an entire divine realm… Gu Yue closed her eyes, and the image of the divine army pressing in appeared in her mind.

As for threatening the divine realm with humans…

Even in her hazy memories, she knew that the God Realm ruled over hundreds of life-bearing planets similar to Douluo Star, and losing one of them wouldn't be a significant loss for them.

"Looks like you've got me cornered."

Gu Yue finally spoke, her voice so low it was almost drowned out by the sound of the waves. A hint of resentment flashed in her silver eyes, but more so, a helpless clarity.

Gura realized that Gu Yue had misunderstood, shook his head, and stepped forward. The Poké Ball in his hand gleamed strangely in the moonlight.
“I didn’t scheme against you. Na’er came to me on her own initiative.” He shrugged and gave a helpless smile. “I just tried it out, and who would have thought that something I brought from my hometown would be so useful.”

Gu Yue's heart skipped a beat, her gaze falling on the sphere in Gula's hand. She saw through the advanced sphere at a glance; it was a technological creation similar to a soul tool. Could such a small object really cause her alternate personality to detach from her?

“I can trust you for now,” Gu Yue finally relented, her voice tinged with weariness, “but you have to show me Na’er’s improvement.”

“No problem.” Gula agreed readily, a confident smile playing on his lips.

He also didn't believe that Gu Yue, representing the cold side of the Silver Dragon King, would be easily subdued.

He was very satisfied with tonight's progress; the starry sky was boundless, and there was plenty of time ahead.

He was confident he could persuade Gu Yue, because even without him, the Dragon God, tormented by love, would not have recognized her as the next God-King.
