Separated by a spatial barrier, two figures collided continuously, roaring and slashing to the utmost, before slamming into the barrier with a thunderous crash.
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!!"
Within the space to the left, there was a lizard dragon, its deep blue body shimmering with time ripples and adorned with several pale blue stripes, and a metallic diamond texture. Its red eyes were filled with anger—
It floated in midair, waving the wing-like structure on its back, subtly manipulating the flow of time. Inside its silvery lower lip, a roar known as "Roar of Time" was inconspicuously gathering.
The God of Time, Dialga!
As the deity of time created by Arceus, it could twist time to speed up, slow down, or even stop entirely. Its signature skill "Roar of Time" could erase all traces of existence.
Moreover, it had a strong protective urge over its domain and was merciless toward its counterpart, the Spirit Palkia. Though brothers, their rivalry could be traced back to the beginning of creation, rivaling the animosity between Groudon and Kyogre.
At this moment, their territories were about to collide; even if one had the ability to avoid it, neither was willing to give way due to their rivalry.
[I've been wanting to take you down for a long time—finally, I have the chance—]
In the collision of time and space, both were seeing red.
With Arceus asleep, the intrusion into its domain provided a reason to fight—when else but now!
Boom!!!
The cobalt blue Roar of Time blasted against the barrier, finally creating a crack.
In the opposite space, there was a dragon whose entire body was a light purple hue, with dark purple stripes. On each shoulder, a pearl was embedded, surrounded by a grey ring.
Below the pearls, its arms, which resembled metallic gauntlets, were slowly waving, and amidst the tearing of space, a black "Aerial Ace" came into being!
The God of Space, Palkia!
This was the divine being that controlled space, capable of warping space and creating parallel universes. At this moment, it too answered the challenge of the big lizard opposite.
Boom!!!
Roar of Time and Aerial Ace collided swiftly and fiercely across the spatial barrier—
In this instant, time seemed to stand still, and space shattered endlessly...
Unknown Totems that dwelled in the rifts of time and space began to flee in a panic. The dark swarms of Unknown Totems moved like dark clouds, a majestic sight.
From the outside, this change manifested as the fog growing thicker and the sky twisting more violently...
Two divine beings were about to truly meet.
"Damn, damn, damn!!!"
In Alamos Town, within the garden.
Little Hoopa was angry.
Just now, it had finally caught the scent of the Temporal and Spatial dragons through a space.
However, just as it was about to grab them, "bang," they started brawling.
The aftermath of their time-space collision sent its hoop flying back.
"If I had the strength... If only I still had the power..." Little Hoopa grumbled bitterly, its tiny but fierce fangs bared at the sky as it grimaced.
Hmph!
It would have its revenge one day!
Ignoring Little Hoopa's delusions, the nine Darkrai resting against trees sensed the time-space tremors that ordinary people couldn't detect.
At this moment, Baiyang Town's Darkrai changed expression suddenly.
"Get out... of here...!!"
It shot into the sky, glaring up from the garden, raging and growling fiercely.
"Go away... from here...!!"
[Determined to stop them from ruining this garden—]
[This is everyone's home—]
With its resolve strengthened, Baiyang Town's Darkrai unleashed all its power, locking onto the invaders who inevitably approached.
"So they've come."
Fang Yuan's Darkrai, upon seeing this, was silent for a moment before immediately following suite.
The other Darkrai exchanged looks and then also quickly joined.
Nine Darkrai, the Nightmare Gods, flew together toward where the Temporal and Spatial dragons were!
"Umm..."
Little Hoopa, upon seeing this, was slightly startled and took to the air. It eyed the fog enshrouding Alamos Town, fiddled with the hoop in its hands, then looked towards the Tower of Time and Space.
Fang Yuan and Eevee were over there; it decided to join them.
...
...
At the heart of Alamos Town.
The opposing towers of time and space.
The spire of the Tower of Time sported angular carvings, corresponding to Dialga's diamond.
The spire of the Tower of Space featured circular carvings, corresponding to Palkia's pearl.
A long, slender spiral staircase connected the two towers, leading to the top where there was a massive machine. By placing a special disc in the slot and turning on the switch, one could play music with the world's largest instrument.
Atop the towers, the White Poplar Town trio, who had just ascended via Glutton's transport, were shaken abruptly and stared in shock at the sky.
In their sight, the sky gradually twisted like the surface of water stirred by hand, rippling and waving incessantly.
Occasionally, massive black cracks tore open in the sky, emitting terrifying roars from within.
"It's... it's Dialga and Palkia!!"
Iris clutched the disc, her breathing rapid.
The other two were also petrified, staring at the sky.
This end-of-the-world spectacle caused them to freeze solid.
"Koje!!! (Hurry with the disc!!!)"
While the trio was stunned, Glutton, who had been unceremoniously used as a means of transport by Fang Yuan from the start, floated up, yelling and screaming in front of them.
Do you know how to play?
This is gonna cost you meals!
You'll be going hungry for ten days, half a month!
What are you dazing off for—
Having watched a few movies, Glutton knew that hesitation due to external disturbances at this moment usually led to failure...
