Elf: I asked you to take the college entrance examination, and you took out a modifier?

"Why didn't you send that ball of light over just now?"

Yun Xiao subconsciously turned his head and found a Lucario standing next to him.

This Lucario didn't look like the mythical beast. He was not as tall as two people, nor did he have a strong aura. On the contrary, he looked very weak.

With what happened just now, Yun Xiao took a cautious step back and looked Lucario up and down.

"Because he wasn't telling the truth."

The Lucario glanced at Yun Xiao and suddenly smiled.

"...I thought I had no chance, but I didn't expect that there would be humans so perceptive."

"Fortunately, fortunately it was you who opened the book."

Yun Xiao felt a little strange about what was said.

"What do you mean?"

Lucario waved his hand, and the blue book suddenly appeared in his hand.

"This was originally our backup plan for the next world. Only humans whose wave power has reached a certain standard can open this book."

"When he opens this book, he will learn the history of our world, and I will tell him how to prevent the Ultimate Hole from coming."

After hearing these words, Yun Xiao replied:

"So, you're saying that you are that Lucario?"

He couldn't be sure of the true identity of the elf in front of him, but since the other party was willing to communicate, he could at least get some information.

"No, I'm not. Or rather, I'm no longer him now."

An inexplicable emotion flashed across Lucario's eyes.

"Who was that voice that just told me to go to the Bodao Cathedral? And what about those statues in the cathedral?"

Yun Xiao noticed this and asked immediately.

"...It is the existence that destroys everything, the mouth of the bottomless abyss."

Lucario looked up at the evil monster that covered the entire sky.

"He discovered our trump card. His soul fragments came into this book and suppressed me, preventing me from telling you the truth."

"But you seemed to have used some method to isolate the breath of that soul fragment, thus waking me up."

"So who are you?"

Yun Xiao said.

Lucario turned and looked at Yun Xiao. He didn't open his mouth, but the voice sounded in Yun Xiao's heart.

"Same, a broken soul. The meaning of my existence is to tell something to the first person who opens this book in another world."

"Including - a method to prevent the arrival of the Ultimate Hole."

This time, Yun Xiao felt that this was the message brought by Bodao.

Chapter 286 The Meaning of Strength

Since this is the power of waveguide, the credibility of this voice and image is undoubtedly much higher - at least more credible than the previous anxious voice.

But Yun Xiao was not in a hurry to draw a conclusion. After all, what happened just now could be said to have taught him a lesson.

The current situation was really too confusing, and it could even be said that it made him feel a little uneasy.

So he decided not to believe the voice in front of him for the time being, at least not completely, and to observe it for a while.

While Yun Xiao was thinking, the voice of Lucario using the power of waveguide rang in his mind again:

"The world we originally lived in was a beautiful world, where humans and elves lived in harmony. Although there were wars, after hundreds of years, everything was back on track and developing towards prosperity."

"...But one day, that thing appeared in the sky...From that day on, the world inevitably headed towards destruction and demise."

"I can't tell you too much about this process, otherwise it will attract the attention of those things in the River of Time."

Yun Xiao had the experience of talking to the World Tree, so he could naturally understand this point. It seemed that the things that happened in those destroyed parallel worlds could not be mentioned directly here.

But fortunately, he already knew what Lucario was referring to. Not only did he know it, he had even witnessed the war with his own eyes...it was so brutal.

At this moment, Lucario's voice continued to sound.

"After 10 years of resistance, we finally realized that the Ultimate Hole was invincible. Before the last moment, we gathered all the sparks of civilization in the safe house, and I led another group of elves to activate the power of time and space and jump to another world - your world."

Yun Xiao was secretly surprised in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Since you have the ability to jump through time and space, why don't you take all the people in the world and move away when you find that things are irreversible?"

Although they will inevitably face many problems in another world, at least they can ensure their survival...

Lucario was silent for a moment before answering:

"The power of time and space is not that simple. We can do this because we have a holy object passed down from ancient times. The lives and things that a holy object can take away are limited, and we also need to pay with our flesh and blood."

Yun Xiao nodded when he heard that. The first thing he thought of was the statues in the Wave Temple. There was no doubt that the Wave Temple was the safe house that Lucario mentioned, and those statues that only preserved their souls might be the elves that Lucario mentioned who had lost their bodies, including himself.

In this way, the existence of those statues makes sense - why are there so many statues storing the souls of elves?

But there was one thing Yun Xiao still didn't understand. Since there was a safe house for those who fled here, why were there only the souls of the elves left in the end, and no humans from that world? Did all humans die in the final battle in the Ultimate Cave?

At this moment, Lucario's voice continued to sound, just answering Yun Xiao's doubts.

"The souls of humans and elves have different characteristics. Human souls are extremely fragile, while elves' souls are relatively strong. For us elves, even if only our souls come to this world, as long as certain conditions are met, we can regain our bodies and our lives can continue here."

"The flame of world civilization still remains in the temple. This way, at least our original world has not been destroyed in the true sense, but has continued in another form."

At this point, Lucario suddenly sighed.

"But that thing still happened... The Ultimate Hole found the coordinates of our journey, and it invaded the world you are in through the space-time channel we created."

"Under this situation, we only have two choices - either watch the world repeat its mistakes and be destroyed like our world, or sacrifice the power of our souls to suppress the coming of the Ultimate."

"If we hadn't traveled through time and space, the Ultimate Hole wouldn't have appeared in your world. Strictly speaking, this is our responsibility - so we should also fulfill our obligations."

"You should have seen those soul statues. The purpose of their existence is to suppress the ultimate hole that is about to descend upon this world."

Hearing this, Yun Xiao found that his guess seemed to be correct. He also understood why the statues dimmed, because the soul power in them had been completely consumed in the process of suppressing the Ultimate Cave.

The responsible behavior of these souls undoubtedly made Yun Xiao feel a little emotional, but now there was another problem.

"Did you know that the Ultimate Beast has appeared today?"

Lucario looked at Yun Xiao, sighed deeply again, and nodded.

"It's all within my expectations. The power of the Ultimate Hole is even stronger and more terrifying than I imagined. Even the backup plan I left in this book was discovered by the Devourer. He completely suppressed me and hid the contents of the last page. Once you bring the soul fragment to the statue, my real soul will be directly devoured."

"When that time comes, everything will be over. No one will be able to stop the arrival of the Ultimate Hole in this world."

"But you seem to see through him. I didn't expect this was something a young human could do..."

After hearing this, Yun Xiao was almost certain of the identity of the Pokémon in front of him. He should be the soul left behind by Lucario.

At least the other party should be on his side, otherwise why would he need to reveal the matter of the Evil Food King's soul fragments?

"I know very well that in front of the Ultimate Hole, our soul power is weak in comparison. It is suppressed by the laws of time and space, so the speed of its descent is slowed down, giving us some possibility of suppressing it, but the descent of the Ultimate Hole is inevitable after all."

Lucario continued.

"I'm sorry that the Ultra Hole came to your world. This was not my intention. Take this."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of deep blue light emitting wave energy and beating like a heart appeared in Yun Xiao's hand.

Unlike the frivolous golden light just now, this light exudes a sacred and powerful aura.

A series of data and information appeared in front of Yun Xiao's eyes at this moment...

[Special Item: Lucario's Soul Fragment]

[Introduction: A pure wave soul, coming from a spirit as powerful as a divine beast, which seems to have been born a long time ago.]

The appearance of this item's prompt also made Yun Xiao completely relieved. It seemed that the one talking to him this time was indeed that Lucario.

At the same time, the voice of Lucario continued to echo in his mind.

"This is my backup plan. According to common sense, after using the sacred artifact of time and space to sacrifice my own body, I will need to consume a lot of my soul power to travel through time and space. Even if I come to this world, I will not be able to restore my body."

"But in order to prevent this from happening, I separated a part of my soul, which is the me who is talking to you now. As long as this part of my soul is reintegrated, the integrity of my soul can be guaranteed."

"But now it seems that even if I do this, it is far from being as effective as it was back then. That thing has already chased me... and in order to stop it from coming, I have consumed too much of the other half of my soul energy, and it cannot be replenished anymore."

"So, you can choose to use this soul fragment to enhance your wave power, which will allow your wave power to reach an unprecedented height, surpassing the limits of what humans can possess."

"You can also choose to put this soul fragment back into my statue. This will allow my statue to regain some power, allowing the Bo Shengtang to hold on for a longer period of time and delay the arrival of that thing."

"Whatever your choice is, I understand it. Now, the choice is yours."

Yun Xiao held the ball of light, listened to what Lucario said, and suddenly asked a question.

"Why do you want to keep such a backup plan?"

Lucario smiled faintly.

"I just want to live, but now maybe there is no such possibility."

Yun Xiao was silent for a moment before speaking softly.

"...I see."

He did not absorb the soul light of the waveguide, but kept it well.

Lucario seemed a little surprised when he saw this.

"Why don't you use it to improve your own strength? Even if that thing comes and wants to destroy the world, it will take a very long time. You can choose to continue living in a place that has not been disturbed. Superhuman superpowers will bring you many benefits. At least you will have a few years to enjoy them."

Yun Xiao smiled.

"No matter how powerful you are, if the world you live in is destroyed in the end, it is meaningless."

"The value of power is to protect what you want to protect."

"See you in the sanctuary later. I will have a good chat with you about the Ultimate Hole."

After Yun Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The light and shadow on the road began to disappear slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye. He looked at Yun Xiao's back as he turned and left. There seemed to be some emotion flowing in his eyes.

After a while, his soft whispering voice was heard in this space.
