Extra Chapter (25) Super Zeraora

Even Milotic, who occasionally complains that Incineroar relies on muscle to think except when it's being cunning and sly, has to admit it.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger's idea was indeed flawless, and could even be considered the optimal solution.

Having been stitched together with a dark aura, it is the only individual that has adapted to the power of Yveltal.

In addition, this guy is naturally tough and thick-skinned. He used to rely on self-harm to heal himself. He also has the blessing of the sacred fire left by the god of life, Ho-Oh. His recovery ability, resilience, and physical fitness are all top-notch in the team.

Even if the "Death Authority" malfunctions and backfires on its host, the Blazing Roaring Tiger should be able to withstand it for a while.

It truly is the best "container".

Su Hao originally wanted to keep the Fiery Roaring Tiger in suspense or tease it a little more.

Who knew this guy would think so fast when it might be his turn to benefit?

Su Hao sighed helplessly and nodded: "Then it's decided. The 'Power of Death' will be temporarily entrusted to Hu Zi for safekeeping. Does everyone have any objections?"

As Su Hao's voice fell, the cave was silent for a few seconds, except for the sound of Xiao Yi munching on her food.

Obviously.

All the Pokémon, including Xerneas, had no objection to Su Hao's decision.

The next step is to strip away the "power of death".

The separation process wasn't complicated; Su Hao didn't need to handle it himself, as the "Salvation System" could process it automatically.

The only two conditions are the consent and non-resistance of the owner of the authority itself, and the non-interference of a higher-level entity.

At first glance, the conditions don't seem very generous; in fact, they seem quite harsh.

But for Su Hao, who had already completed the final battle of Blue Star Online, these conditions had long been met.

Su Hao first closed his eyes and sent a message to Arceus and the World Will respectively.

He quickly received replies from both sides.

Arceus simply replied with "OK" and then fell silent.

The World Will said that Su Hao could do whatever he wanted. If the world hadn't already been operating stably within a complete framework, it would have simply erased the concept of "death" to entertain Su Hao.

Theoretically speaking, the two most difficult conditions have been met, so the remaining one is much simpler.

With a flick of his wrist, Su Hao produced a giant lollipop in his otherwise empty palm.

The colorful pigments piled on top are easy to tempt children.

In fact, that's exactly what Su Hao did.

Approaching Xiao Yi, who was happily devouring her food, Su Hao smiled and asked in a gentle voice, "Can I trade this lollipop for something with you?"

Little Yi paused in her hearty eating, glanced at the colorful lollipops, and her clear, innocent eyes lit up.

"Chirp chirp!" (Change!)

It's clear that lollipops are incredibly appealing to Xiao Yi, who has the mind of a child.

then--

In this way, Su Hao used a lollipop to exchange for the "Death Authority," which is coveted by all trainers and Pokémon outside the world, and ranks among the top tier of legendary Pokémon, apart from top-tier authority such as time reversal.

As mentioned before, the extraction and containment of the "Death Authority" are handled entirely automatically by the "Salvation System".

Su Hao didn't need to worry at all.

Once the dark "authority" disappeared into the chest of the Blazing Roaring Tiger, a soft golden light formed a complex sealing array on it, and then disappeared into the fur of the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

The containment of the "Death Authority" is now complete.

The naive and innocent Xiao Yi was unaware of what had just happened; she only felt that the things that had been troubling her and the pressure she was under seemed to have vanished all at once.

A look of pure joy flashed in its eyes, and it skipped and hopped off to share it with Xerneas.

the other side.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger also studied its own chest for a long time.

I don't know if it's because the seal was made too tight and airtight, or if it was meant to be this way.

It didn't even realize that there were any changes in itself after the "Death Authority" was put into it.

—Does this mean that all my hard work has been for nothing?

The thought flashed through its mind, and the Blazing Roaring Tiger's face immediately fell.

After temporarily removing the "death authority" from Illya, the problem that had been troubling Xerneas was also alleviated.

The reason it has been weak is that this single Pokémon has replaced the other lives that should have been harvested by Eevee, continuously providing life force to the thirsty "Death Authority".

Once it no longer needs to provide, the immense vitality contained in the prosperity of the entire world and the prosperity of Viridian Forest will quickly fill its empty body.

It shouldn't be long before Xerneas recovers to a point where he can contribute to Cresselia's resurrection.

However, since he hadn't yet called back all the scattered Pokémon, Su Hao couldn't stay in Viridian Forest any longer.

After considering his next plans, Su Hao decided to let Xerneas recover in Viridian Forest while he headed to his next destination.

He was indeed eager to see Zeraora and Reshiram and tell them that once the matter on Earth was settled, they could prepare for a counterattack!

........

Formerly the Northern Bear Alliance, now the Northern Bear Region under the jurisdiction of the Shenzhou Federation.

Inside the Kremlin in Moscow, the capital city.

High-ranking officials from the Kitakuma region gathered together, but it was noteworthy that these people, who usually held high positions, all had a bitter look on their faces.

It's like being helpless because of something.

After a long silence, a voice suddenly rang out.

"So, over there... is the fighting still going on?"

The speaker's identity is not important; what matters is that his initiation of the discussion sparked a lively debate among everyone in the space, as if a floodgate had been opened.

Some people say, why not ask the federal government for mediation, so that the fighting there won't affect the livelihoods of ordinary people near the Arctic Circle?

Some people say, why not ask the Holy Swordsmen for help? The four of them should also know about the beings in the Arctic Circle.

But no matter what they say, there is only one premise: everyone's consensus.

That means those beings who fought in the Arctic Circle for almost a year are essentially capable of communication.

No one goes there, and no one can communicate with them to make them quieter.

After all, they remembered that not long ago, someone who seemed to be from the "Dark Dream Council" hacked into the network and made a lot of nonsense throughout the North Bear Region, saying that they wanted to turn those people into their lackeys.

As a result, after the other party entered the Arctic Circle, there was no further contact.

On the contrary, those few continued to fight as before, seemingly unaffected...

Just as the discussion was getting more and more heated, and everyone was arguing about how to resolve the current situation.

At the very center, a middle-aged man with white hair and deep-set features spoke.

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing."

"In fact, the federal government has already provided compensation to the North Bear Region regarding this matter."

"Whether it's resource assistance or arrangements for ordinary people, it's been ongoing."

"I know you care more about the resources of the entire Arctic Ocean, but don't forget that the one fighting over there now... no, it's more accurate to say sparring is the 'god' who stepped forward to save our planet ten years ago."

"It's only been a year, we shouldn't have any complaints."

These words convinced more than 80% of the people present, but some were still not satisfied with the result.

But before those with differing opinions could say anything, the middle-aged man said meaningfully:

"And just now, the Federation issued new instructions regarding this matter."

"The instructions are very short, only a dozen words, but you can take your time to savor them."

"—He's back, the problem will be solved soon."

After saying this, the middle-aged man glanced at the crowd below the stage, said nothing more, and simply left.

We went outside.

He discovered that Alexei Nikolayevich Yegor and Sofia, who still hold the titles of champion and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the North Bears region, were waiting for him outside.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Sofia asked before Yegor could, "Is the news true? Has that person really returned?"

Even though she didn't say her name, the other two people present knew who she was referring to.

"of course."

The middle-aged man nodded and slowly said:

"Do you know about the Mizusho City Infinite Festival that just ended yesterday?"

"The Dark Dream Council tried to cause trouble, but they were simply run over by the returning enemy."

"According to the intelligence provided, the other party seems to be moving around the world, and their purpose is quite clear... probably to recall their partners who were originally scattered all over the world."

"The same goes for the Arctic Circle."

"No wonder you were so unhurried throughout."

Alexei Nikolayevich Yegor exhaled a few smoke rings, a gloating smile on his face.

Now that person has returned.

I suppose cleaning up those scum who hide in the shadows and do dirty tricks should be an easy task, right?

After all, that's what they used to love doing.

Who doesn't know that the infamous "New Star Organization" was almost single-handedly wiped out by him?

Looks like we're in for a good show.

Despite his schadenfreude, Yegor, thinking that the other party should arrive here in the next few days, suddenly recalled the scene when he was looking out at the Arctic Circle with the three Holy Swordsmen and the newly promoted Holy Swordsmen.
