Roar~!
The enraged Dialga and Palkia immediately set their sights on each other.
Perhaps it was years of intense conflict, or perhaps they simply disliked each other from the bottom of their hearts.
In any case, after becoming enraged, Dialga and Palkia charged straight at each other.
Boom~!
With a violent crash, Dialga and Palkia collided heavily in mid-air, and a massive wave of energy intensely vibrated outwards from their impact.
Buzz buzz buzz~
Time and space seemed to twist open at that moment.
The intense ringing in their ears made Cynthia and Caitlin frown, a strong sense of discomfort spreading from their feet throughout their bodies.
In a daze, they even seemed to see the figures of the Spatial and Temporal Gods overlapping and blurring.
"As expected, it has still come to this point."
Uxie's cool telepathy seemed to carry a sigh.
Although It had anticipated it, seeing this scene truly unfold, Uxie still let out a sigh of lament.
"Why did they start fighting? Was it because of that lightning just now?"
Cynthia recovered from her discomfort and asked, puzzled.
The red chain had clearly shattered, but Dialga and Palkia now seemed even more frenzied.
Before, they were merely controlled by the King of the Underworld, but now, their stance suggested they wanted to fight each other to the death.
"This is His power, a power unique to Him."
Uxie's wisdom-filled eyes gazed at the terrifying and grotesque Origin Forme Giratina.
"Is it the Wrath of Thunder?" Mammon narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Exactly, Mammon, you truly know a lot."
Uxie glanced at Mammon.
"Wrath of Thunder? Is that a move?" Cynthia had never heard of this move.
"It's not a move, but a unique ability of Giratina."
Mammon shook his head.
Indeed, the so-called 'Wrath of Thunder' is not a move, but an ability belonging to Giratina.
It was described in the plate inscriptions.
Spooky Plate: Its enraged avatar was granted the reverse side of the world.
Zap Plate: The enraged avatar can bring down the Wrath of Thunder.
"Giratina, who controls 'antimatter,' is one of Arceus's avatars. It can be considered a 'frenzied' avatar, and precisely because of this, Giratina is inherently violent and brutal. Arceus sent It into the Distortion World, entrusting It with its guardianship."
"As a 'frenzied' avatar, Giratina naturally wields the power of the Wrath of Thunder. It can open spacetime rifts and unleash the Wrath of Thunder upon the human world, spreading 'frenzy' to other life forms."
Mammon explained.
In 'Pokémon Legends: Arceus,' a bolt of lightning descended from a spacetime rift, and then the 'Kings' of various regions successively fell into a frenzy; this was Giratina's doing.
And at the end, Volo revealed his true intentions and summoned Giratina, using Giratina's power to make Dialga and Palkia fall into a frenzy, wanting to use the power of their struggle to open a path to the Hall of Origin to meet Arceus.
"This…"
Cynthia pursed her lips, looking at Dialga and Palkia violently clashing in the sky—it was terrifying.
But inevitably, Cynthia also felt a strange sensation in her heart.
No matter what, they were just controlled by the King of the Underworld with the red chain, and now they are frenzied by Giratina's Wrath of Thunder.
These Spatial and Temporal Gods… are a bit delicate.
They are supposed to be Legendary Pokémon representing the primordial substances of time and space, so why are they so easily 'manipulated'?
"Mammon, we cannot let Dialga and Palkia continue to fight. Their battle will affect and distort spacetime, and this world will face disaster."
Azelf spoke to Mammon.
The existence of Dialga and Palkia is too special; their frenzied battle will inevitably affect spacetime.
If it continues for too long, the entire world will be severely impacted.
At best, it would lead to chaotic time, distorted and collapsing space, and intersections with parallel timelines. At worst, spacetime would collapse and shatter, with time flowing backward or speeding up, and so on.
Such is the influence of the Spatial and Temporal Gods.
Don't think Cyrus's desire to create a new world is a mere fantasy; once he truly controls the Spatial and Temporal Gods, and Dialga and Palkia unleash their full power, they genuinely could use their 'matter' and the 'mind' of the red chain to create an entirely new world.
"Ah, I understand."
Mammon flexed his palm and shifted his gaze to Giratina, who was quietly observing the battle.
To free Dialga and the others from the influence of the Wrath of Thunder is actually very simple: just defeat them.
But the key is that this only treats the symptom, not the root cause. As long as Giratina is present and its objective hasn't been achieved, Giratina will not give up.
So the root of the problem still lies with Giratina.
And seemingly noticing Mammon's gaze, the Origin Forme Giratina slowly turned its head, its cold, violent dragon eyes looking over.
!!
An unprecedented sensation, where almost all the hairs on Cynthia's body stood on end, made her body tense—terrifying!
What kind of gaze was that?
As Giratina's gaze swept over her, Cynthia even felt as if her breathing was about to stop, suffocating.
This mythical Pokémon, representing 'antimatter,' was far more terrifying than Dialga and Palkia.
"Nice to meet you, Giratina."
Mammon, however, seemed unaffected, slowly taking two steps forward and offering Giratina a slight smile.
It wasn't that he had a big heart; well, Mammon had always had a big heart.
Giratina's oppressive presence was indeed the strongest Mammon had ever encountered among Pokémon.
However, he had already received the prayers of the Lake Guardians. Azelf's prayer for Mammon was 'unwavering conviction, unyielding determination, and constant courage.'
As Azelf, one of the Six Gods of Creation, the 'mind' It represents is precisely 'willpower.'
Now, it could be said that Mammon is the most resolute person in this world.
Moreover, even without Azelf's prayer, with so many legends surrounding Mammon, the naturally bestowed Viridian Power, plus his inherent strong conviction, he would not be affected by Giratina's 'pressure.'
Origin Forme Giratina's dragon eyes remained unperturbed, still staring at Mammon with extreme coldness.
"It seems It's not very easy to communicate with."
Mammon chuckled lightly when he saw Giratina didn't even give a hint of a response.
But then again, it wasn't unexpected.
"I don't understand."
Cynthia looked at Mammon's back and the terrifying Origin Forme Giratina.
"Uxie, since Giratina was created by Arceus just like you, why is It attacking Dialga and Palkia, and it seems you all already anticipated this?"
"Because He wants to rebel against the Great One," Uxie said calmly.
"Unlike us and the other two, from the moment He was created, He was cast into the Distortion World by the Great One. Perhaps, in His view, He is unwilling to accept such a fate."
Uxie's calm and wise eyes, which had been so throughout, now rippled as It gazed at Giratina's form.
Yes, why rebel against Arceus? Perhaps it's not truly a rebellion.
It just wants to challenge Its own destiny, just once.
Cynthia fell silent.
A low, hoarse dragon roar echoed, and Origin Forme Giratina slowly twisted its massive body upwards, the red glow in its dragon eyes sending shivers down one's spine.
The oppressive feeling grew even stronger!
"You want me not to interfere with this? Sorry, I can't."
Mammon shrugged helplessly.
"Uxie and the others have sacrificed a lot, and they sincerely asked me to stop you."
"And if those two big guys keep going like this, the impact will be too severe, and this world…"
Mammon slowly curled his lips, a strong malice emerging.
"Is mine!"
Indeed, in Mammon's eyes, this world would sooner or later be his possession!
And if Dialga and Palkia were to cause such a ruckus, wouldn't that be destroying his property?
This was something Mammon did not want to see.
Moreover, he didn't want to be affected by the spacetime distortions caused by Dialga and Palkia's struggle, like Ash and the others in the original story, where their bodies time-traveled backward and they reverted to children.
That truly wasn't a good situation.
Upon hearing this, Giratina's eyes flashed with a cold light, glancing at Uxie and the other two.
Gulp~
Swept by Giratina's gaze, Uxie and Azelf tried to maintain their composure, but Mesprit instantly felt its body go limp, swallowed hard, then shrank back and trembled behind Uxie and the others.
"You can't possibly defeat Arceus. Isn't it better to give up that idea? You should understand that yourself, shouldn't you?"
Mammon advised Giratina.
As one of the Six Gods of Creation, Giratina should undoubtedly understand Arceus's power.
Upon hearing this, the temperature in Giratina's dragon eyes suddenly became bone-chillingly cold, and Its massive body slowly glided forward.
"Looks like I hit a nerve." Mammon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Mewtwo, Dark Pulse!"
Dark Mewtwo Y extended its left arm forward, and a black pulse throbbed. A Dark Pulse shot out abruptly, directly striking the approaching Origin Forme Giratina.
The Dark-type Dark Pulse is super effective against Giratina.
However, Origin Forme Giratina did not dodge or evade, instead accelerating its speed.
Just as it was about to be hit by the Dark Pulse, Giratina's form suddenly became illusory, and the Dark Pulse passed through Giratina's body.
This move again?
Mammon licked his lips at the sight.
Seeing the Dark Pulse 'ineffective,' Dark Mewtwo Y immediately stopped, and a purple-black Psychic barrier instantly formed.
Boom!
The next second, Giratina materialized from its ethereal state, its whole body shrouded in a faint glow, and it slammed heavily into Dark Mewtwo Y's Psychic barrier.
Giratina's signature move, Shadow Sneak!
The flames in Dark Mewtwo Y's eyes constantly flickered; it could feel the intense impact coming from the Psychic barrier.
It was incredibly heavy!
Dark Mewtwo Y frantically poured Psychic energy into the barrier, barely managing to withstand Giratina's impact.
A low, hoarse dragon roar sounded again, and Its massive body once more glided upwards. Its colossal form continuously alternated between ethereal and solid states, eerie and silent.
Giratina gradually ascended to the highest point, its cold, violent dragon eyes looking down upon Primal Kyogre and Dark Mewtwo Y below.
Lord of the Distortion World, Origin Forme Giratina, has come to challenge!
