Chapter 1007: Ascending to the Gods, the Scorching Sun (1)

"Roar!"

Looking at the receding backs of Sakaki and Thomas, the Kings of the Ultimate Beasts roared angrily towards the sky, but strangely did not catch up with them.

"They didn't chase us...it seems like they are guarding the Ultimate Cave." Xia Yu looked back and saw that all the Ultimate Beast Kings were standing under the Ultimate Cave, watching the Kaguya Iron Fire that he was about to subdue escape.

"There should be other ultimate beasts coming." Thomas took out a cigarette from somewhere, lit it, took a deep breath, and puffed out the smoke to relieve the pressure in his heart.

Looking at Thomas's carefree appearance, Xia Yu felt a little admiration in his heart. Thomas was one of the few foreign champions Xia Yu had a good impression of. He slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Champion Thomas, thank you for your righteous action."

"Are you doing me a favor?" Thomas said with a smile, as if he had heard a joke. "Don't get me wrong. This is a deal. You will help me deal with these Ultimate Beast Kings later."

"No." Xia Yu shook his head and looked at Thomas with a smile on his face: "At that time, it's already a righteous act for you to help."

"As for the deal, there's nothing wrong with it. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who got the upper hand. I owe you a favor." Xia Yu nodded: "So don't worry, since I promised you, I will never break my promise."

"But I still want to advise you, are you sure you want to fight to the death with these ultimate beast kings? It won't be enough for just the two of us." Xia Yu reminded Thomas.

From a public perspective, of course he hoped that all the champions except China would die, but from a private perspective, he actually didn't want Thomas to die in vain.

"Yeah." Thomas nodded, seemingly unconcerned, and took a leisurely puff of cigarette, blowing out a large cloud of smoke, closing his eyes, with an expression of enjoyment on his face: "Of course."

"If even I choose to escape, what will happen to the millions of residents of Honolulu Island?"

Thomas' eyes seemed to sparkle as he spoke of this: "Champions are never those who stand above the people and are admired by them, but those who stand in front of the people and lead by example."

"You don't have to worry about accompanying me to death on this trip. I'm sure of it." Thomas raised the corner of his mouth and gave Xia Yu a reassuring look: "Before that, you should seize the opportunity to have a good rest. The decisive battle with the Ultimate Beast will be in a while."

"How long will it take?" Even though Thomas said he was sure, Xia Yu was still skeptical of his words.

"It won't be long. Once the four sleeping gods are awakened, it will be time for us to fight back." Thomas replied with a smile.

"Four Gods?!" Xia Yu was slightly startled, with a gleam in his eyes. He was just worrying about how to help the four gods mentioned in the mission to come, but he didn't expect to hear the news from Thomas: "Can you awaken the four gods?!"

"It's not me, it's the divine coffin." Thomas waved his hand and said. When he mentioned the "divine coffin", his eyes were always on Xia Yu's face, observing Xia Yu's reaction.

When Xia Yu suddenly heard the word "sacred coffin", a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Thomas.

The whole world knows that he and the divine coffin are mortal enemies. What does Thomas mean by this?

"Don't look at me like that." Facing Xia Yu's gaze, Thomas showed a calm smile on his face: "It's just cooperation, each taking what they need. Just like between you and me."

"Besides, I can't deal with so many Ultimate Beast Kings by myself, not to mention those enemies lurking in the dark." Thomas said here, took a last puff of his cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot.

"Shen Guan is not a good person. Cooperating with them is like inviting a wolf into the house and seeking the skin of a tiger." Xia Yu said in a deep voice.

"Of course I know that the God Coffin is not a good person." Thomas sat on the ground and looked at Xia Yu and said, "They don't care about the lives of millions of residents in Honolulu. I also know that they will not help us deal with these ultimate beasts."

"Their target is this group of Ultimate Beast Kings and the Four Gods who have descended."

"Why do you think they are so eager to awaken the Four Gods? The Divine Coffin is not a charity organization." Thomas showed a trace of sneer on his face, as if he was very disdainful of the actions of the Divine Coffin. "I know their greed better than anyone else, but this is how the world is. They have the ability to awaken the Four Gods of the Island, so I must also pretend to cooperate with them."

"Otherwise, the entire Honolulu Archipelago will become a paradise for the Ultra Beasts."

"There are too many things that people cannot control." Thomas' tone revealed a trace of vicissitudes. He immediately raised his head and looked at Xia Yu, consoling him: "But you don't have to worry. Those who chase fire will eventually burn themselves."

"They want to get their hands on the gods... but they never understand that the reason why gods are gods is because they hang high in the sky and are admired by people."

"There is no shortcut to becoming a god."

Xia Yu listened to Thomas' words, frowned, stared at Thomas in front of him, with a thoughtful look on his face, savoring Thomas' words carefully.

"So there are only two of us who can fight against the King of the Ultimate Beasts?" Xia Yu frowned and asked, "Where are the Marshall Champion and the Roosevelt Champion?"

"They?" Thomas showed a scornful smile on his face: "They are probably on their way back home."

"Roosevelt is a coward and short-sighted, and Marshall is old and has lost his passion. They only care about their own interests and can never accomplish anything great."

"Actually, I knew from the beginning that they were unreliable. I never placed my hopes on them." Thomas said with a smile, seemingly not caring about Marshall Champion's escape.

Xia Yu looked at Thomas. He found that Champion Thomas actually suited his temper. He asked with a teasing smile, "After all this talk, aren't we the only two in the end? Let me make it clear first. I promise to help you, but I won't die with you."

"No." Thomas smiled and shook his head, saying, "We also have the helpers of the Four Gods of the Island. Of course, this means we are standing on the opposite side of the God's Coffin."

"That's why I will cooperate with you."

When Xia Yu heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "You and I, together with the four gods of the island, can deal with these ultimate beast kings and the divine coffin?"

"Are you sure?" Xia Yu suspected that Thomas was crazy.

"Of course." Thomas said confidently, "And our chances of winning are still very high."

"Do you know the strength of the Four Gods of the Island?"

"Do you think we will lose if we have a quasi-god Pokémon?" Thomas said mysteriously, and then paused: "As long as one of the four gods reaches the quasi-god level, we will not lose."

"If we are lucky enough and the four gods are all quasi-god-level, then we will be invincible."

Thomas raised his head and said, "No one can always control their own destiny. Isn't life a gamble?"

"Besides, I still have one last trump card."

"What trump card?" Xia Yu asked.

"Champ George is on his way."
