At the critical moment, a pre-prepared silk ribbon swiftly emerged from Xianbu's body, wrapped around Xia Chen's waist, and threw him out as far as possible in a shot put motion.

Although the method was a bit barbaric and crude, at this moment, there was no time to consider whether the fall would cause injury. The most serious damage could not possibly exceed the aftershocks of the collision between these two moves.

A less-than-graceful parabola swept across the scene, and Xia Chen narrowly avoided the aftershocks of the explosion at the very center. However, he did not fall to the ground but was caught by two sticky, slippery, tentacle-like things.

Then, the elf who caught Xia Chen quickly retreated, taking him away from this place of trouble.

…………

When mythical beasts fight, it's not just Xia Chen who suffers.

The aftershocks of the energy explosion swept across everything in the surrounding air without leaving any blind spots, including the drone that had attracted almost all the attention in the world.

In the instant of the explosion, the high temperature, enough to melt tungsten filaments, easily turned the drone into a mass of molten metal.

Suddenly everything went black, and the image on the screen disappeared.

The dazzling light generated by the clash of moves between Yveltal and Sylveon became the final highlight of this live stream.

Everyone in the live stream was devastated.

"Gone??? What happened to my huge screen???"

"Damn it!! This is worse than me climaxing ten thousand times!!!"

"Damn it, which newbie did this? Yveltal, I'll remember you!"

"Holy crap, thank goodness I reacted quickly and pressed the pause button, saving the uploader's drone."

"I don't care about the live stream or anything, if that bastard Yveltal really makes a move, what will happen to Sylvanas and Master Pigeon? Will they even survive?"

"Even a drone that's so far away and extremely heat-resistant melted instantly in the explosion of this attack, let alone Xia Chen who was so close... Sigh, we can only say that the power of the divine beast far exceeds our imagination."

"No way! There was clearly a force resisting the evil fluctuations just now. Maybe Xerneas arrived in time. It will definitely save Xia Chen and Xianbu!"

"The power that rivals Yveltal's might originate from Xerneas, but saving him is probably impossible; the explosive power of his technique is too great."

"Thank goodness this drone recorded everything, otherwise the hero's sacrifice would have been in vain."

"It's ridiculous that such a large region as Carlos has to bear all of this for a mere teenager!"

…………

After the dazzling light, like the explosion of a celestial body, the clearing in the woods was deathly silent.

Xianbu held the Horn of Xerneas in his silk handkerchief, staring coldly at Yveltal who had suddenly launched an attack.

At this moment, her heart was filled with worry for Xia Chen and anger towards the legendary elf before her.

If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, neither I nor Xia Chen would have survived.

Perhaps to the ruthless Yveltal, the human and the elf before him were merely objects he casually used to balance nature.

She didn't childishly question Yveltal about why he launched the sneak attack, nor did she dare turn around to check on Xia Chen's condition.

The most important thing now is to deal with Yveltal's attack; otherwise, everything else is just empty talk.

Xianbu took a deep breath, continuously absorbing the immense energy transmitted from the deer antlers on the silk.

The move just now was a magical flash released from Xerneas Horn using Sylvanas as a vessel.

In that instant, the dense fairy-type energy surging from his body almost burst the container that was only a senior-level one.

To be precise, it had burst from being stretched to its limit, but was instantly healed by the antlers.

But that doesn’t mean Sylvanas didn’t pay any price. The excruciating pain was so intense that even after countless battles, Sylvanas was still in so much pain that she almost fainted.

Clearly, as long as the fight continues, every time Senbu uses a move, he will have to endure this excruciating pain.

But she was not afraid at all. Xia Chen was right behind her, and she absolutely could not fall before Xerneas arrived!

In my past life's memory of this event, Xerneas would arrive shortly after Yveltal reached Snowdrift City.

At Yveltal's speed, it would definitely take less than half an hour to fly to Snowdrift City.

It has been more than ten minutes since it woke up. Theoretically, if I can hold on for another ten minutes, I can wait for Xerneas to arrive!

But how am I supposed to withstand Yveltal's onslaught?

Xianbu was thinking about this problem very quickly.

Although he briefly gained powerful offensive capabilities through the antlers, his defensive capabilities were still only at the senior level. Against Yveltal, he would fall at the slightest touch, no matter how much he strengthened himself.

Therefore, the only viable solution is to improve one's offensive capabilities.

Meditation? Self-motivation?

It's all too slow.

A flash of inspiration struck Xianbu, and he suddenly came up with a move.

She glanced at the Corner of Xerneas and silently conveyed her fervent thoughts through the silk.

Hopefully it can understand.

…………

Yveltal didn't seem in a hurry to continue attacking Sylvanas, instead looking at her with some approval, "Eefu—(Good reaction. Before that guy arrives, take your little toy and warm up with me.)"

So, it was indeed waiting for Xerneas?

Silently sensing the response from the antlers, Sylvanas replied, "Buee—(Carlos is so big, how did you know it would come over?)"

Seemingly just awakened, or perhaps sensing that Senbu posed no threat, Yveltal replied calmly, "Eefu (It will come)."

Feeling the continuous power surging into his body from the ground, Xianbu was somewhat excited. The antlers really did allow him to use Earth Control!

With the extra power derived from the control of the earth, coupled with the Fairy type's advantage over Dark, Yveltal, who has just awakened, might really be able to give it a try.

Sylvanas was startled by the crazy idea in her mind and took the initiative to challenge Yveltal.

Even if I were to grow another ten years from my peak in my previous life, I still wouldn't be able to see the legendary elf's silhouette.

But now, it seems there's no other way.

Xianbu gripped the antlers, which represented hope, within the silk, and made his final decision.

Xerneas, lend me your power!

As if sensing that intense fighting spirit, endless energy surged into Xianbu's body once again.

The difference this time is that it wasn't a passive response from Senbu, but rather an active request for battle.

The excruciating pain swept through every brain cell in his body once again, but a strong obsession kept Xianbu from uttering a sound.

immediately.

There was a flash of lightning!

In that instant, everything before Xianbu's eyes seemed to freeze; she could even clearly sense the movement of every gust of wind whistling past her.

With the combined power of Xerneas, control of the earth, and a flash of lightning, time seemed to be paused.

Within this barrier where time is locked, the only one who can move freely is Senbu.

Gazing at the scene before him, which was impossible to perceive with the naked eye, Yveltal's eyes revealed a look of surprise and excitement.

The next instant, the ghostly figure of the fairy cloth was reflected in its pupils.

------

Xia Chen was unaware that he had been sentenced to death by the outside world, but the excruciating pain all over his body after waking up made him realize what it meant to be worse than dead.

Immediately, he felt a comfortable warm current flowing through his body, and the burning sensation in his body gradually lessened.

With difficulty, Xia Chen opened his eyes and found himself lying on the lap of a familiar Gardevoir, which was healing him with a healing wave.

Is this just Gardevoir from Karune?

Xia Chen turned his head blankly and found that on the other side, a sticky dragon was gently massaging him with its sticky, cool tentacles.

Milotic, Ralts, and Zoroa also stood by, watching them with concern.

"Miss Karuni?" Xia Chen called out in a daze.

“It’s me, you’re awake.” Karuni responded gently, her tone seemingly containing some complex emotions.

Although his body was still in so much pain that he couldn't move, his consciousness gradually returned.

Xia Chen recalled everything that had happened before: he and Karuni were chased by Yveltal, then they split up, and then Yveltal launched an attack.

Xia Chen was startled, suddenly remembering his own experience of being injured.

and then?

It seemed that a dazzling light was emanating from Xianbu.

The somewhat surreal and absurd scene replayed in his mind, and then he was knocked unconscious by the aftershocks of the explosive attack.

"Miss Karuni, where's Eevee?" Xia Chen called out in a panic.

Karune's tone was a little strange, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I didn't dare to get close at the time, so I could only let Goome catch you when you were thrown out by Senbu. It seems like they were still fighting over there?"

"Xenbu and Yveltal are fighting?"

Xia Chen was a little confused and couldn't accept this information that seemed like a foreign language.

But at that moment, it seemed that the dazzling five-colored light suddenly burst forth from Xianbu's body.

Wait, that familiar light seems to have appeared in my memory before?

…………

After careful recollection, Xia Chen finally remembered where he had seen this ray of light before.

In the city of Aroma, on the evening before the sacred tree withered, the "toy" that Senbu brought back after taking a stroll outside was something that emitted the same light.

The withered sacred tree, Xerneas, the initial doubts, Ievils' reaction, and why Yveltal chased Sylvanas.

Everything is connected!

Xia Chen felt that he was gradually understanding everything.

But even after that, Xia Chen was still full of worries. Even if he could temporarily borrow some of Xerneas's power, how could Eevee possibly fight against Yveltal?

He struggled to get up from Gardevoir's embrace, but Karune gently pressed him back down.

Do you think you look like Absolu back then?
