Chapter 361 - The Death of Rock Lord!

With an earth-shaking roar, the ground began trembling even more violently.

It was as if several Golzas were emerging from beneath the earth simultaneously.

Thick, earthen-yellow Aura surged like rivers and seas, covering the land while crimson magma dotted its surface.

The red-and-yellow hues concealed an exceptionally terrifying killing move beneath!

This was Primal Groudon's full-powered strike!

Even its old rival Primal Kyogre wouldn't dare take this head-on.

Rock Lord felt bitterness in its heart that it couldn't voice.

While its numerous clones appeared spectacular and delivered impressive attacks, they had one fatal flaw.

They were nearly impossible to evade.

Against such a massive group, any random attack thrown into their midst would inevitably hit multiple clones.

Attempting to defend was pure fantasy—it had already experienced firsthand the devastating power of those strikes.

Its proud defensive capabilities were like paper against those terrifying magma pillars.

Utterly fragile!

The next instant, an unimaginably massive stone pillar—no, a mountain pillar—erupted from the ground!

Countless streams of scorching magma overflowed from it, the blistering lava and jagged stone pillars working in terrifying harmony.

Forming a horrifying technique.

BOOM!!

In an instant, countless Rock Lord clones were struck by the super-sized Precipice Blades.

Deafening explosions rang out endlessly.

Perhaps because Rock Lord's clones contained immense energy, each destroyed clone triggered violent explosions.

Akira watched this scene calmly as brilliant flashes of light illuminated the battlefield.

Then, one after another, strange mushroom clouds rose into the sky amidst countless shattered rocks and dust.

Witnessing his clones being annihilated one after another, Rock Lord felt overwhelming panic—but it was already too late.

Against such absolute overwhelming power, any resistance would be futile.

Still unsatisfied, Groudon's seemingly endless energy reserves allowed it to casually stomp the ground, summoning several more super-sized Precipice Blades.

This time, even Rock Lord's main body exploded violently.

The battlefield instantly became an ocean of magma and explosions, with Groudon's Precipice Blades covering every inch.

Literally forging a mountainous landscape where stone and magma fused together.

Groudon snorted coldly and continued bombarding the area with overwhelming Precipice Blades.

One, two...

More and more Precipice Blades appeared as countless rock fragments vanished into the extreme heat of the magma.

Only when Groudon finally received a massive chunk of experience points did it relent.

This signified Rock Lord's complete demise.

The reason it hadn't stopped earlier was because it knew Rock Lord hadn't truly died yet.

The method for determining this was simple.

Just check whether experience points were gained.

Brutally straightforward.

Its sensory abilities confirmed this—Rock Lord's presence had been completely erased.

After slaying Rock Lord, Groudon turned its gaze to Snake Lord desperately fleeing through the skies toward certain doom, showing no intention to intervene.

That was Zygarde and Primal Kyogre's prey—it wouldn't interfere arbitrarily.

Of course, if they proved incapable of handling their opponent, it would step in again to remind them who was Akira's most powerful Pokémon.

Standing atop Genesect, Akira casually surveyed the surrounding area.

As expected, everything had been utterly destroyed.Whether it was those volcanoes, the slightly distant snow-capped mountains, or even the areas further back, all had suffered terrifying destruction.

It was a pity about the terrain, especially that snow-capped mountain. He had originally thought that perhaps a Regice could be nurtured there.

But compared to that, being able to harvest the experience points from the Snake Lord and Rock Lord wasn't bad either.

The battlefield now presented two bizarre landscapes.

One was the pitch-black, charcoal-like ground formed by the collision of magma and rainwater.

The second was the countless Precipice Blades created by Primal Groudon just moments ago.

These Precipice Blades, comparable to great mountain ranges, had formed new terrain.

Perhaps in a few years, or a few decades... this area would once again see new life emerge.

Akira couldn't guarantee much, but one thing was certain - the Kurta clan would have to relocate now.

With the surrounding areas destroyed, they wouldn't last long outside nor gain much from it.

They'd most likely move to one of the six continents or the hypothetical continent, keeping this Secret Realm as a base.

"Ding!"

"Pokémon incubation complete!"

Akira was startled, realizing it was the incubation bar from when he first arrived at the volcano reaching completion.

He immediately focused his mind, curious to see which Pokémon it was.

It was a turtle-like Pokémon with orange-red eyes.

Its head appeared covered by a metal mask.

Its body was reddish-brown with mixed brown and orange spots, and its legs had metal anklet-like structures.

Each foot had four claws arranged in a cross pattern, with the underside of its body appearing gray.

This was the famous secondary legendary Pokémon, known as "Fire Steel" for its excellent type combination - Heatran.

Akira felt a surge of joy.

Heatran was an excellent Pokémon and had been within his predictions.

After all, Heatran was a volcanic Pokémon.

Legend said Heatran was born from the scorching magma within Mt. Coronet.

Its body, composed of molten steel, was full of unsolved mysteries.

It dwells in volcanic caves, using its cross-shaped claws to climb walls and ceilings.

Boiling blood like magma flows through its veins. Though it has a body of hard steel, it gradually melts due to the intense heat it generates...

Name: Heatran

Ability: Flash Fire

Type: Fire, Steel

Strength: SS

Moves: Lava Storm, Stone Edge, Heavy Slam, Earth Power...

As a renowned secondary Legendary Pokémon known as the "Fire-Steel," Heatran also possesses its own signature move.

[Lava Storm]: Deals damage to the opponent and traps them in molten lava.

A powerful Special Attack move with a base power of 100.

...

Meanwhile, the Snake Lord was facing an extreme crisis.

While the Rock Lord was being "brutally beaten" by Primal Groudon, the Snake Lord wasn't faring much better.

Zygarde, having transformed into its towering form, struck first, its emerald-green aura exploding outward.

The heroic, mecha-like warrior exuded a futuristic vibe, resembling humanity's ultimate trump card from a sci-fi movie.

Countless streams of light swirled around its body, brimming with boundless power—every movement capable of unleashing devastating blows.

Zygarde clenched its fists, its body radiating dazzling colors as the terrifying pressure of a Legendary Pokémon bore down on the Snake Lord.

Gritting its teeth, the Snake Lord tried desperately to resist this oppressive force, but to its shock, it couldn't withstand it!

In an instant, as if the heavens had collapsed, the Snake Lord's massive body plummeted downward.

Unlike its previous clones, this was the real deal—its true form.

If it crashed down now, it would cause massive destruction.

But given the already shattered battlefield, what truly horrified the Snake Lord was the damage it would sustain.

With a furious roar, the Snake Lord raised its head high and released a dark, mist-like energy.

This mist acted like a magical cloud, cushioning its fall and keeping it afloat in the sky.

[How is this possible?!]

[If even my clones couldn't do anything, what difference does my true form make?]

[Could it be that it wasn't even using its full strength before?!]

Feeling the overwhelming despair, the Snake Lord raged inwardly.

This was merely the final straw.

What truly broke it was the presence of three monstrous beings—and the fact that the Rock Lord had died before it.

It knew the Rock Lord wasn't easy to kill, but under the relentless assault of that colossal beast, every inch of the land had been pulverized.

Though it loathed to admit it, the Rock Lord was most likely dead!

And now, it would have to face three monsters alone!

Yes, even as a [Lord], it had no choice but to refer to these three top-tier Legendary Pokémon as monsters.

It had never encountered such absurdly powerful creatures—their strength defied imagination.

After a moment of contemplation, the Snake Lord's expression shifted several times before settling into one of sheer madness!

Even if it died today, it would make sure its enemies suffered!

In an instant, black mist—denser than ever before—erupted into the sky.

It swiftly engulfed the earth, even covering the stone pillars Primal Groudon had created earlier.

The land and rocks underwent a grotesque transformation.

Sinister dark energy clung to them like a plague, twisting them into bizarre, Snakeine abominations.

These creatures, formed from hardened stone and scorching magma, radiated a terrifying aura.

This was the Snake Lord's Rule Ability—anything touched by its dark mist would mutate into grotesque snake-like monsters of all shapes and sizes.

It seems that at the SS+ level, the abilities one possesses create terrifying distinctions, granting access to Rule Abilities.

In the blink of an eye, a horde of bizarre Snakeine creatures charged toward Complete Forme Zygarde.

Zygarde clasped its hands together, gathering countless multicolored lights—mostly earthy yellow—into a single mass.

The light then transferred from its body into the ground, sending rippling waves outward through the earth...

In an instant, the land seemed to transform into an ocean, with towering waves crashing toward the swarm of Snakes.

Ground-type move—Earth Force.

With a low growl, Zygarde channeled Aura frantically into the ground, saturating the surrounding terrain with energy.

The next moment, time seemed to freeze.

"BOOM!!"

The earth erupted violently.

Countless chunks of land shot skyward, shattering the Snakes upon them into fragments that mingled with the billowing dust.

No distinction could be made between them.

"ROAR!!"

Amidst the chaos, the Snake Lord's eyes flashed with malice as its massive body lunged at Zygarde, its colossal form reminiscent of the World Snake, exuding overwhelming intimidation.

In comparison, Zygarde's size seemed insignificant—still just a small figure.

Yet the aura it radiated far surpassed that of the Snake Lord.

Enraged that the Snake Lord dared to approach, Zygarde's body flickered with pulsating light.

Meanwhile, as the battle raged on, Akira's gestation gauge for Zygarde was rapidly nearing completion.

This meant that after this battle, Zygarde could permanently maintain its Complete Forme!

Fueled by fury and resolve, Zygarde was determined to annihilate the Snake Lord in a single strike.

Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre were formidable.

But it—Zygarde, the Z Legend—was no lesser being!

Zygarde shot toward the colossal Snake Lord like a cannonball.

In an instant, it transformed into a streak of emerald-green light, its aura intensifying explosively.

A terrifying presence capable of affecting the entire region surged outward relentlessly!

Along with it came an onslaught of devastating attacks!

Two distinct Auras erupted from its body, dyeing the sky in dual hues!

Dragon-type move—Core Enforcer!

Ground-type move—Thousand Arrows!
