Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

Every day, elves and humans die in this world, so it's unrealistic to gather them all in one place to go to the spirit world. Therefore, Zoroark guesses that the passage to the spirit world exists somewhere around us, or in every place.

…………

"Forget about that for now. What do we do now that we have Doronmesia's soul?"

The affairs of the spirit world are none of Xia Chen's concern; what he cares about now is whether the two dragons, Messiah, can be saved.

Regardless, these are two lives that have been dragged into this incident because of him.

From a causal point of view, it was precisely because Xia Chen wanted to find the evolution of the Doronmesia that they were transformed into weapons.

If he could save them, he would still want to save them.

Zoroark shook her head again. She only knew how to use soul fragments to nourish the Tree of Souls; how to resurrect soul fragments as elves was truly beyond her comprehension.

Wait, there does seem to be a way?

She recalled the spirits she had "exorcised" in the spirit world, which must have been transformed from spirits who died in the real world.

If we compare fragments of the soul to seeds, then the unconscious entities or intelligent seeds in the spirit world are the trees that blossom and bear fruit.

Perhaps the spirit world is the soil, water, air, and sunlight they need to grow?

Zoroark wasn't sure, but she thought it was worth a try.

Time in the spirit world is independent of the outside world, so there is no need to consider external factors. With a thought, Zoroark entered the gray fog space.

Over time, nourished by fragments of the soul, this tree of souls has grown to two or three meters tall.

The three branches that originally represented different functions have become the thickest branches on this tree.

However, the branch of [Power of Fear] has never blossomed, mainly because in reality, there are almost no things that truly "distinguish between the superior and the inferior, and decide life and death."

Speaking of which, there were some souls who died in fear today.

Zoroark decided to go out and collect some later, so that their souls could become fertilizer for the tree.

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Zoroark picked up a smooth, round fragment of a soul from the ground; it was one of the treasures she had accumulated over this period.

Judging from its size and luster, this fragment of soul could "buy" at least twenty hours of time in and out of the spirit world.

She specifically chose this one because it was older, wanting to stay inside for a while to see if the environment of the spirit world could really have any effect on the two Doron Messiah soul fragments.

As Zoroark clutched the soul fragments in his hand, about to toss them into the branch of the [Gateway to the Spirit Realm], he suddenly noticed something unusual about the two Doronmesia soul fragments.

They seem to be devouring that large fragment of the soul?

Zoroark stopped what he was doing and began to observe the three soul fragments with curiosity.

…………

The two fragments of Doron Messiah's soul were quite weak; even when poured into the Spirit Gate, they couldn't last for more than two hours.

But what's strange is that the two weak soul fragments are actually devouring a more powerful being.

Could it be because the two Doron Messiahs had only recently died, and their soul fragments were still "fresh," while the one being devoured had already lost consciousness?

Soroyak speculated.

She felt this conjecture was highly likely, because the feeling these kinds of soul fragments gave her could be described in one word: chaos.

In contrast, the fragments of Dorgonmesia's soul shimmered with a lively and dynamic light.

While they were pondering, they had already devoured the unconscious fragment of the soul, and were now rubbing against Zoroark's paws as if begging for food.

After devouring the soul fragments, their appearance changed considerably. Not only did they become larger, but more remarkably, they transformed from perfectly round spheres into slender, oval-shaped strips.

It's like the prototype of the original Doromecia.

Can they grow by devouring fragments of souls?

Zoroark glanced at the remaining soul fragments on the ground. There were still quite a few left, and since she should be able to pick up some more outside today, she generously picked up a larger one and placed it in her hand for them to eat.

These two little guys have a big appetite. In just two minutes, they swallowed another soul fragment that was enough to buy them thirty hours of time in the spirit world.

Interestingly, one of them even defered to the other during the process, seemingly wanting the other to eat more.

As they continued to consume, their size and shape grew back towards that of a true Doronmesia.

Seeing the insatiable little dragon continue to beg, Zoroark had no choice but to pick up another one.

To her, these few soul fragments were nothing more than a few more hours of effort in the spirit world. If they could save two young lives, she would certainly not hesitate to spend them.

Two, three, four

Finally, after consuming six soul fragments, they finally became souls that looked and were the same size as Doromesia.

Zoroark had never seen such a thing before and didn't know how to describe it, so he could only call it that.

Compared to real Draco Mesias, they have an indifferent appearance, no physical form, and look even more ghostly than Ghost-type Pokémon.

But from the grateful looks in their eyes, Zoroark was convinced that they were intelligent and capable of thought, surpassing even the most intelligent beings in the spirit world.

But are they considered alive now?

It survived, but not fully?

Zoroark couldn't understand it, so she decided to take it back to Xia Chen to see.

…………

With another thought, Zoroark returned to the real world.

Although she stayed in the gray fog space for nearly ten minutes, time remained frozen at that moment when she returned to the real world.

Of course, she returned with the two ghostly Doronmesias.

Fortunately, they don't have any real physical form and can't be seen except by Zoroark, otherwise it would be quite strange for two Pokémon to appear out of thin air.

Even though he couldn't see them, Xia Chen still sensed their changes through waveguides.

From a tiny ball the size of a glass bead to an object the size of an elf, the change in that instant was enormous from Xia Chen's waveguide detection perspective.

He asked in surprise, "Zoroark, what's going on?"

Zoroark couldn't explain the principle clearly either, only vaguely stating, "Zoroark (They're probably in a state somewhere between a soul and a ghost?)"

The relationship between souls, ghosts, and ghost-type spirits is mysterious and difficult to understand; it's estimated that no one but Arceus can figure it out.

Xia Chen's understanding of them was limited to snippets from his previous life's Pokédex, but those were compiled by Professor Oak, who even claimed that Dragonite could circle the Earth in sixteen hours.

He remembered that the encyclopedia said that the Snow Fairy was a woman who died in a snowstorm in the snow mountain and was reincarnated as a child who died after getting lost. But how many unlucky people are there in this world?

That is to say, these descriptions of the birth of ghosts have one thing in common, that is, they require two elements, a soul and a body, or a vessel.

The Snow Fairy is ice and snow, the Little Wood Spirit is wood, and Nezha is lotus root. The last one seems a bit out of place.

But they are largely the same. Based on these commonalities, Xia Chen made a simple guess.

"Perhaps their souls need a vessel?"

Little Duolong's eyes darted around, as if he was thinking about something.

Can the soul and body be created using a system that synthesizes all things?

Although the crafting system can be a bit unreliable at times, such as two purple items potentially being downgraded to a blue item, it has never failed to craft.

So, what is the support used for the other key to the synthesis?

Little Dragon fell into deep thought.

A 100% success rate is one thing, but what form the resurrected, or rather reincarnated, person takes after being resurrected is another.

For example, what would happen if you combined any tree fruit or twig?

Apple-wrapped dragon? Tree branch dragon?

I have a bad feeling about this. Would it be better to keep Dorgonmesia as it is?

So, should we use a Dorgon Messiah doll as the carrier? Or should we create a mechanical Dorgon Messiah?

…………

While Little Dragon pondered, Xia Chen and the other elves were not idle either, and they all offered suggestions for the resurrection and reincarnation of Dragon Mesia.

Sylveon tried to inject the universal life energy that had saved Googlos, Deoxys, and Gruuldon, but perhaps because the two Draco Messias were in different states than the previous three, the life energy had almost no effect.

Gardevoir was also recalling the many rewards she had seen in the simulator. After thinking it over, it seemed that only the item called [Resurrection Herb] was useful, but it could only be used in the game.

The other elves were in the same boat, all wondering if they could offer any help to Doronmesia.

"How about I give it a try?"

Finally, one of the elves seemed to have come up with a solution. Xia Chen turned around and saw that it was Gu Leton.

Xia Chen asked in confusion, "Didn't you say before that you couldn't do it?"

Therefore, Leighton replied confidently, "What I meant was that I couldn't handle the poison gas bombs inside them back then, but in this situation..."

It hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said, "I can give it a try."

"Things can't get any worse, anyway."

Therefore, Leighton added.

As it was a legendary spirit, Xia Chen gave it full trust and respect. It nodded and asked, "Can you sense their presence? Do you need my help?"

Leighton glanced at Xia Chen and said, "Don't ask such stupid questions in the future."

It walked up to Zoroark, took the two soul forms of Doronmesia, and released orange-red energy from its claws, continuously pouring it into the soul.

Enveloped in energy, their forms were slowly revealed, allowing Xia Chen and the elves to glimpse the full appearance of the two soul entities, which were their size and outline in life.

"Amazing!"

Xia Chen exclaimed in admiration, "How did you do that?"

Therefore, Leighton puffed out his chest with a smug look and said proudly, "No need to ask. Even if you ask, I can't teach you, and even if I teach you, you won't learn it. Don't ask too much about the legendary elves."

Xia Chen: "."

Watching the two dragons gradually solidify, Xia Chen decided to let them be arrogant for a while.

About two or three minutes later, two translucent Doronmesia finally appeared before Xia Chen and the elves.

Chapter 273 I, Dorambaruto, am taking on one of you three at a time. What are you planning?
