Young Pokémon who were still mere cubs were carried to higher ground by their parents first. The adults would then return to rescue elderly Pokémon or those who had lost their mobility and couldn't evacuate on their own.
The young cubs had never witnessed such heavy rainfall in all their time living in Alola. Their eyes were filled with confusion and uncertainty about what was happening. However, relying purely on their natural instincts, they sensed that this situation was definitely not a good thing. They silently prayed in their innocent hearts for the terrible rainstorm to cease.
For this critical moment, Alola's spiritual realm had fallen into a genuinely dangerous crisis.
At this very time, the Ultra Wormhole above the ruins of the Altar of the Sunne was shining with brilliant, intense radiance—far brighter compared to when the Ultra Wormhole had initially opened earlier.
Tapu Koko found himself genuinely puzzled by this development. The reason the wormhole had opened previously was due to the leakage of 'light' from another dimension. But now such tremendously strong light was pouring out from the Ultra Wormhole once again. Why was this happening?
After the spatial barriers of the Ultra Wormhole had been completely shattered during the earlier events, the guardian deities naturally felt that they had entirely lost contact with whatever existed on the other side of the dimensional passage. They didn't even have the slightest idea what might be occurring within that mysterious space.
Tapu Koko, who served as the primary communicator between Alola's spiritual realm and the outside world, instantly remembered that particular tester with the outstanding presence—the one who carried the unmistakable aura of a 'God' upon his body. He was also supposedly the emissary of the Tree of Beginning, which was truly... enough to give any Pokémon a massive headache from confusion.
However, given the current dire situation unfolding around them, Tapu Koko didn't have much time available to ponder these mysteries deeply. At the very least, he would have to wait until everything was resolved and finished before he could properly settle these accounts.
Indeed, the violent spatial impact had been so tremendously powerful that even the guardian deities had begun to fear that Roy might have perished within that collapsing dimensional space. After all, there existed no human being in recorded history who could safely return from the chaotic sea of time and space after the dimensional barriers had been catastrophically broken.
Facing the devastated condition of Alola's spiritual realm, the guardian deities remained completely unaware that Roy had not only survived safely within the treacherous sea of time and space, but had even personally witnessed the epic struggle and clash between two powerful deity-level beings.
Furthermore, the side he had supported and aided had ultimately achieved final victory in that cosmic battle.
Obviously, the overwhelming flood of news reports throughout China regarding these events had not yet reached the ears of either the guardian deities or the participating testers in this remote location.
However, although the radiant light continued shining brilliantly from the wormhole, the guardian deities could clearly sense that the energy and forces within carried no hostile intent directed toward them whatsoever. Therefore, the primary focus of their battle efforts remained fixed on the berserk Forces of Nature trio before them, as well as Elite Alman's formidable Frozen Legion.
Elite Alman naturally noticed the dramatic change occurring at the Ultra Wormhole as well. Unlike the guardian deities, he couldn't judge and analyze the light's nature with the same refined sensitivity. He immediately assumed that the grand plan of the Illuminati organization to which he belonged had finally succeeded.
Alman's face lit up with overwhelming joy and excitement. The restraints he had been maintaining on his power gradually released, flowing freely to his Frozen Legion. He allowed them to unleash whatever devastating attacks they desired without holding back, because their destined time had finally arrived!
Next would come the glorious era when the Illuminati, wielding the mighty power of God himself, would rule supreme!
"Hahahaha! Your time of death has finally come at last!"
Alman's originally gentle, pleasant smile began transforming into something slightly more twisted and ferocious due to his rampant, uncontrolled laughter.
Observing that the brilliant light emanating from the Ultra Wormhole was growing increasingly intense with each passing moment, Alman naturally concluded that his organization's captured 'god' had successfully arrived. His voice filled with eager anticipation.
"Come! Welcome the magnificent arrival of our 'God' alongside me!"
The moment those words left his lips, the majestic lion head belonging to Solgaleo emerged first from the Ultra Wormhole. His magnificent golden mane was immediately drenched by the pouring rain and buffeted by fierce winds, making the legendary Pokémon extremely uncomfortable.
"La..."
Solgaleo hadn't expected at all that the light rainfall present when he had departed earlier had transformed into such a violent, destructive storm. He was caught completely unprepared for a brief moment, his noble head thoroughly soaked by the relentless downpour.
Solgaleo halted in his tracks, shaking his great head uncomfortably. Some of the rainwater had managed to slip inside his sensitive ears, causing considerable irritation.
In the very next second, Solgaleo released a thin protective film of radiant light around his entire body to ensure that Roy wouldn't receive the same unpleasant treatment when he emerged from the wormhole.
Under Solgaleo's focused command and control, the light film shot forward like an arrow released after the bowstring had been pulled to its absolute limit. It rushed straight into the oppressive dark storm clouds hanging in the sky above with completely unstoppable momentum.
The instant the churning dark clouds made contact with Solgaleo's purifying light, they began collapsing and rapidly dissipating at a speed easily visible to the naked eye. The torrential pouring rain also changed dramatically from heavy to light, and then gradually stopped falling altogether.
The precise moment Solgaleo made his dramatic appearance, the entire legendary battle seemed to have had its pause button pressed. Everything stopped instantaneously. Every person present and every Pokémon turned their gazes in perfect unison toward this powerful and unexpected visitor.
Elite Alman had already formed a prediction in his mind about what was emerging, so he reacted first among all those present.
Alman immediately spread his arms wide in a grand welcoming gesture, an arrogant and triumphant smile spreading across his features. He pointed directly at the positions where the guardian deities hovered.
"Solgaleo! Go forth now! Kill them all without mercy, and turn the entire Alola region completely upside down!"
The guardian deities immediately sensed the unmistakable aura of a 'God' emanating from the newcomer, and their hearts filled with instinctive reverence and respect. The moment they laid eyes upon the divine 'God' before them, they felt themselves bathed in the generous gift and blessing of divine presence. They all lowered their heads slightly in a gesture of respect, welcoming the arrival of this sacred being.
Tapu Koko also detected a distinctly familiar aura mixed within the divine presence—Roy was still alive!
"Koku!"
Wonderful! Simply wonderful!
Such tremendously good news filled him with such overwhelming happiness that he even completely forgot about the earlier sneak attack involving thunder and lightning.
The testers had been positioned closest to the Ultra Wormhole's location, but their backs had been turned toward the dimensional portal as they fought. It was only when Elite Alman suddenly displayed such bizarre and strange behavior that they finally had an opportunity to turn around and see what was actually happening.
In the next moment, they felt an incredibly majestic and powerful presence pressing down upon them like a physical weight. This initially made them fear it might be the arrival of an enemy reinforcement. However, before the thought of launching an attack could even fully form in their minds, they sensed an overwhelmingly friendly and welcoming atmosphere instead.
Additionally, the heavy rainfall that had been continuously troubling and hindering them throughout the battle also dissipated completely with the arrival of that friendly presence.
"It's an allied force..."
Several of the testers released sighs of profound relief, expressing the shared feelings and hopes of many participants.
Fighting constantly against such tremendous pressure and overwhelming force had genuinely overloaded their capabilities and pushed them beyond their limits.
Moreover, some of the testers had already suffered various injuries during their previous trial challenges. They hadn't had any time to properly heal before being thrust immediately into this legendary battle.
However, what still deeply confused and troubled them were Elite Alman's strange words, which made it sound as though this friendly reinforcement somehow belonged to him and followed his commands.
Solgaleo, upon hearing Alman's bizarre and presumptuous words, turned to look at the Elite with visible suspicion in his eyes. Seeing clearly that he didn't recognize this person at all, the legendary Pokémon didn't take the commands seriously whatsoever.
However, this strange individual carried an distinctly unpleasant scent about him. Where had Solgaleo encountered that particular smell before?
Since Solgaleo was still dragging the massive black tower behind him using the chains of light, after simply stopping the rainfall, he didn't pause any longer. He continued forward, fully exposing his entire magnificent body to Alola's open air.
After Roy breathed in Alola's familiar atmosphere once again, he felt his entire body becoming unusually refreshed and revitalized. He couldn't help but take a deep, satisfying breath of the clean air.
"Ah, such wonderfully fresh air."
Solgaleo flicked his powerful tail enthusiastically to express his complete agreement with that sentiment.
"La~"
So much better than that chaotic sea of time and space~
