Chapter 263 Untitled Draft -
There is nothing we can do about it!
Therefore, Arceus placed all his hopes on humans.
After all, whenever they are in desperate situations, seemingly fragile humans can often burst out with power beyond imagination!
"One year...how is this possible?" Qingyi's face turned as pale as paper, and she muttered to herself in an inaudible voice.
After hearing what Arceus said, not only Qingyi was shocked, but even the six legendary Pokémon looked embarrassed and in a very heavy mood, obviously realizing the seriousness of the situation.
In an instant, a suffocating atmosphere of despair spread among the crowd.
You know, in just one year, they couldn't even recover half of their strength, let alone fight against it!
Arceus sighed helplessly, "Yes...it's definitely not enough!"
However, things have come to this point, and they have reached the end of their rope. Originally, according to the plan, although time is tight, it is still feasible as long as they try hard.
But no one expected that the darkness would be so cunning. It had been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, deliberately showing weakness to confuse everyone, until this moment it revealed its hideous true face!
"Host, maybe I have a way to help you delay this period of time!"
Just when everyone was silent, the system that had been offline reappeared in Qingyi's mind without warning and made a sound.
After hearing this, Qingyi, who was in an extremely heavy mood, trembled violently and immediately raised her head. She even forgot that the system was only communicating in her mind and blurted out: "What method?"
Her drastic movement and scream immediately attracted the attention of Arceus and the others.
Rayquaza asked doubtfully: "Little Goddess, what happened?"
Arceus began to think about what Qingyi said subconsciously. He realized that he had overlooked one thing: deep in Qingyi's soul, there was an unknown creature from outer space hidden.
Thinking of this, Arceus turned his gaze to Qingyi and asked, "Qingyi, is that little guy called System talking to you?"
Hearing Arceus' voice, Qingyi came back to her senses, nodded quickly, and replied: "That's right! The system told me that it has a way to delay time!"
Arceus' eyes flashed with a gleam of light for a moment, and he thought to himself: If that's true, it seems that the unknown organism does have some tricks!
However, the first reaction of Giratina and the other Divine Beasts was one of suspicion.
"How is this possible?" Palkia shouted.
"Little goddess, have you been deceived?" Liekongzuo on the other side also echoed.
Zygarde nodded and said, "Yes, even the great God of Creation is helpless, so how can this so-called system do the same?"
They expressed their doubts one after another.
After all, in their minds, Arceus, the God of Creation, has always been the unrivaled and most powerful being.
Since even Arceus was powerless, it would be too difficult to make them believe that a creature of unknown origin had the ability to solve the problem.
In this situation, suspicion seems to become an instinctive reaction.
Only Mewtwo sat there silently. In fact, at the beginning his heart was full of doubts and confusion, but he did not immediately raise questions like other legendary Pokémon.
Because Mewtwo suddenly recalled the scene when he was on the new island and had just broken free from his restraints. At that time, he was still in a violent state, but was inexplicably trapped in a Poké Ball by a human using an extremely strange and powerful force, and that force made him unable to resist!
Looking back now, that power obviously did not come from Qingyi as a human being herself, but most likely came from the mysterious entity called "System".
If this is the case, then this system may really be able to resolve the current crisis.
However, when the system heard these legendary Pokémon's words of doubt in Qingyi's mind, it instantly became furious, stamped its feet in anger, and shouted emotionally:
"How abominable, host! This system is trying to help with good intentions, but these guys actually dare not trust this system!"
"Host, in my opinion, you'd better just ignore them. When the world is destroyed, I can take you away from here!" The extremely angry system once again mentioned the idea of taking Qingyi away.
"System, I solemnly declare again that I will never run away with you. Don't say such things to me again!" Qingyi's heart was full of determination. She expressed her position to the system in an unprecedented serious tone.
Even if she faced the destruction of the world and no afterlife, she would never follow the system.
If she chooses to leave with the system, what will happen to her parents and relatives? How will her brother Shinji face all this? And what kind of predicament will those friends who are as close to her as brothers and sisters fall into?
For her, no matter it is precious family affection, deep love, or sincere friendship, any one of them is difficult to give up.
"Okay!" When the system heard Qingyi still refused and blamed itself, it instantly became dejected.
However, Qingyi did not ignore the solution to the problem. She continued to ask: "System, tell me, what method do you have?"
The system was silent for a moment and then replied: "The only way is to use your dog-beating stick, just insert it into the center of this sealing formation!"
Qingyi was stunned when she heard this, and asked in surprise: "A dog-beating stick? It's so simple?"
She was obviously quite surprised by the answer.
System: "Yes, the Dog Beating Stick is a local treasure, but the host's current strength is limited and cannot bring out its strongest power!"
"But this sealing formation is very different. It condenses the full power of Arceus and six legendary Pokémon. This powerful energy is enough to unleash the true potential of the Dog Beating Stick."
"By then, the sealing formation and the dog-beating stick will complement each other. Their power will complement each other. Not only will they not be weakened over time, but they will continue to grow, thus buying you more precious time!"
After listening to the system's explanation, Qingyi was very excited. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and called out softly, "Dog-beating stick..."
There was a flash of green light, and a completely green and crystal clear stick appeared in her hand.
Qingyi held the dog-beating stick tightly, staring at its surface that was emitting a mysterious glow, and was a little dazed for a moment.
Unexpectedly... this dog-beating stick has such a use. It seems that she underestimated her green stick.
Thinking of this, Qingyi's eyes flashed with determination.
"But..." The system's tone suddenly changed, and it told Qingyi the disadvantages of doing so: "Host, if you really intend to insert the dog-beating stick into this formation, then when your life is in danger, the mark on your forehead will no longer automatically form a protective shield, and you will lose your own protection!"
"In the final analysis, the protective barrier derived from the mark on your forehead is powered by the Dog Beating Stick itself. Once the main body leaves your body, the mark will naturally lose its effectiveness. At that time, all the power of the Dog Beating Stick will be used to support the operation of the sealing formation, so it will not be able to take care of you!"
"Host, you must think carefully. This concerns your future life safety!" The system reminded Qingyi again and again, hoping that she could make a careful decision.
"Don't think about it anymore. I've thought it through clearly. Just use the dog-beating stick!" Qingyi responded firmly, "As for me, even if I don't have the protective barrier, I still have the protection of the Pokémon. Even if I'm unfortunately trapped in danger, I'll only suffer some minor injuries at most, and my life will never be in danger!"
Then, Qingyi took a deep breath and told Arceus and the others everything the system had said to her before, word for word.
After Arceus heard this, his eyes flashed with a light.
He remembered that when he first saw the dog-beating stick in Qingyi's hand, he looked at it a few more times out of curiosity. He felt that this treasure was unusual at the time, but he never expected that it would have such magical effects.
"Can it really be done with just a stick?" Rayquaza stared at the dog-beating stick that was the same color as his own, his heart full of doubts. He couldn't help but touch it lightly with his tail, and then he opened his mouth to question.
"What else can we do? We don't have any better choice right now!" Mewtwo crossed his arms and responded in a cool manner.
"Hmph!" Rayquaza snorted in dissatisfaction, then switched positions with Palkia beside him and deliberately distanced himself from Mewtwo.
And he muttered to himself: This guy is worthy of being created with Menghuan's genes, he is just as unpleasant as that guy Menghuan!
"Now that things have come to this, why not give it a try!" At this time, Arceus finally spoke up, "Qingyi, go forward boldly, I will always be there to protect you!"
After hearing Arceus' words, Qingyi calmed down.
She held the dog-beating stick tightly in her hand, stood up with a firm look in her eyes, and walked forward step by step with steady steps.
Every step seemed to carry a tremendous force, revealing a sense of determination and courage.
Finally, she arrived at the center of the formation and stopped.
After taking a deep breath, Qingyi suddenly raised the dog-beating stick, shouted loudly, and then used all her strength to insert the dog-beating stick into the Temple of Heaven.
In an instant, a dazzling light burst out from the dog-beating stick, and the entire formation that had been embedded in the Temple of Heaven seemed to be suddenly awakened, reappearing in front of everyone and emitting dazzling colorful light.
These lights were like lively elves, jumping and dancing, blending and converging with the power of Arceus and the six legendary Pokémon contained in the formation, and continuously injected into the Dog Beating Stick.
With the continuous infusion of power, the dog-beating stick itself underwent amazing changes. It became more and more dazzling, like a rare treasure.
Immediately afterwards, the dog-beating stick, which had been blessed with powerful strength, suddenly burst out with unparalleled power.
A huge pillar of emerald green light shot straight into the sky, and the terrifying power contained in it surged like a torrent.
This emerald green light was not only powerful, but also carried endless power as it rushed into the sealing formation.
Feeded by such tremendous force, the sealing formation instantly produced a miraculous reaction.
For a moment, nine colors complemented each other, blended and sublimated each other, and bloomed with incomparably dazzling brilliance.
Everyone present stared at the shocking scene in front of them with their mouths wide open. Those divine beasts such as Liekong who had previously held doubts in their hearts were now deeply shocked by the wonder before them.
The radiance emitted by the sealing formation this time can even be compared to the one they gave us most recently, and its magnificence is no less impressive.
Under the illumination of this colorful light, the entire space is filled with a sacred and solemn atmosphere.
You know, that was the peak period of the sealing formation, and the power they possessed was also at its peak.
When everything on the Temple of Heaven gradually returned to calm, the sealing formation quietly merged into the Temple of Heaven, leaving only a stick emitting emerald green light standing alone in the center.
"Success!" Qingyi shouted excitedly.
The many mythical beasts who witnessed this scene all breathed a sigh of relief.
Qingyi's eyes, shining brightly, stared at Arceus and asked expectantly, "Great Master, please check again. How long can the seal last this time?"
Before Arceus could respond, a voice had already sounded in Qingyi's mind: "Host, based on the current situation, it won't be a problem to hold on for at least three or four years.
"Why bother with Arceus personally guarding this place and continuously supplying energy to the formation? Then it will last much longer!"
Almost as the system finished speaking, Arceus, who had just completed an investigation of the formation, also showed a look of joy on his face.
He who was always calm actually said excitedly: "The situation has indeed improved. According to my calculations, we can at least hold out for another three or four years!"
As soon as these words came out, the flame of hope ignited in everyone's heart, but... the future is still full of unknowns and challenges...
After all, they still have an evil god to deal with.
While everyone was immersed in joy, Qingyi was secretly pondering what the system had just said.
After careful consideration, she decided to summon the five stone tablets that had returned to her body and give the other four stone tablets except the green stone tablet to Arceus.
"Qingyi, what do you mean?" Arceus asked suspiciously, "They and I have tried our best to delay time so that you can find all the stone slabs and then merge with them!"
