Chapter 1224 The World Was Born Where the Gods Slept (46)

When the last wisp of soul trapped in the gray fog escaped from the light column, the pale purple light on the old dragon's body gradually dimmed.

Its high neck was now slightly lowered as it lay on the ground. The ghostly light in its pupils was like a candle in the wind, and it seemed that it would go out at any moment.

At this moment, all the Pokémon stopped attacking and looked at the Old Dragon in silence.

Xia Yu took a deep breath and lowered his head slightly, so that he couldn't see his expression. He calmly took out a Poké Ball from his waist and rubbed the cool and smooth surface of the Poké Ball with his fingertips. He could clearly feel the touch of the subtle lines on his palm, just like the emotions surging in his heart at this moment, messy but extremely clear.

The smell of smoke that had just burned his fingertips seemed to still linger at the tip of his nose, but the irritability in his heart quietly settled into a heavy burden when he saw the old man Long with his neck drooping and his frail appearance, weighing on his heart.

Xia Yu's gaze passed over the Poké Ball in his hand and fell on the old dragon.

It lay quietly on the ground, its pale skeleton completely filled with a faint purple glow, the flickering ghost fire in its pupils was so weak that it seemed as if it could be blown out by a gust of wind, as if covered with a layer of death, its slender neck drooped limply on the ground, and even its breathing became weak and heavy.

The surrounding Pokémon remained silent.

The Snow Demon Girl stood at the closest position, her long snow-white hair hanging down on her shoulders. The icy crystals at the ends of her hair reflected the cold moonlight, and her chin, which was usually slightly raised, drooped slightly.

Darkrai's figure was hidden at the edge of the shadows, his black body blending in with the lingering gray fog. Only his bright red eyes stood out in the darkness.

The Iron Warrior's metal body glowed with a cold and hard luster. He held the double-edged blade in his hands and looked at the old man Long like a swordsman.

Greninja was half-crouching on the ground, its blue figure like a silent silhouette, with a hint of solemnity.

Doron Baruto's transparent body hovered in the air, and Alola Galagala stood not far from Xia Yu, holding the bone stick tightly in both hands. The emerald green will-o'-the-wisp swayed gently in the breeze.

Deoxys hovered above everyone, staring intently at the old dragon.

"You've done very well." Xia Yu's voice was soft, but it was particularly clear in the silent dragon cemetery: "The gray fog has dissipated, and the soul is free."

"I know... you still have an unfulfilled wish." Xia Yu paused, his eyes gradually becoming firm. He applied a little pressure to the Poké Ball with his fingertips, and the button popped open under the pressure of his fingertips, emitting a dazzling white light: "Let me fulfill that unfinished promise!"

Xia Yu didn't want the old man Long to die with regrets.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a dark figure appeared beside Xia Yu. The streamlined black body was covered with armor with a metallic luster. The two pairs of huge wing membranes on its back were like the unfolding night sky, and the edges were dotted with faint blue electric arcs, which rose and fell slightly with its breathing.

Zekrom!

The moment the old dragon saw Zekrom, the will-o'-the-wisp in its pupils suddenly jumped, and it was obvious that it was surprised.

Why would a legendary Pokémon like Zekrom follow humans?

"Zekrom..." Xia Yu's voice sounded again: "Show me your Dragon Slate!"

As Xia Yu's voice fell, the old dragon's body trembled slightly. It forced itself to raise its head and looked at Zekrom in disbelief.

"boom!"

The indigo dragon energy flows like a raging fire.

"boom!"

Indigo dragon energy flowed like a raging fire. On Zekrom's chest, an orange-red stone slab slowly emerged from its body and floated in the air.

The surface of the stone slab is covered with ancient patterns, emitting terrifying dragon energy.

As soon as the dragon slate appeared, a slight resonant sound came from the giant dragon ruins under his feet, and it seemed that countless dragon roars were echoing in his ears.

The old dragon's body began to tremble violently. It held its neck high and the faint will-o'-the-wisp in its pupils suddenly became bright. Its gaze was fixed on the dragon slate floating in the air.

Dragon Tablet? !

At the same time, Alola Galagala and Dragon Baruto were looking at the Dragon Slate floating in the air in disbelief. Obviously, they had not expected that the Dragon Slate that was said to have been taken away by humans would appear before their eyes at this moment.

"How did the Dragon Slate end up in your hands?!" Alola Garagara turned to look at Xia Yu, a hint of surprise and vigilance flashing in his eyes. "What's your relationship with the human who took the slate?"

"I obtained the Dragon Slate by chance in the outside world. I'm sorry, Garagara, I didn't mean to hide it." Xia Yu looked at Alola Garagara sincerely and explained, "As you can see, the Dragon Slate has merged with Zekrom, so I concealed it."

"The dragon's... stone slab." The old man Long looked at the stone slab floating in the air and murmured. His eyes seemed a little empty, and the will-o'-the-wisp in his eye sockets seemed to be frozen at this moment. The obsession in his heart was finally let go at this moment.

Its long neck drooped gently, and its whole body lay on the ground. It raised its head and looked at the gray mist above its head for the last time.

The gap pierced by the beam of light has gradually healed, and the last ray of moonlight falls on the old dragon. Then the gray fog once again covers the entire dragon cemetery, and everything seems to return to normal.

The old dragon saved all the dragon souls trapped here, but he could not save his own soul.

Its soul gradually turned into a wisp of green smoke and sank into the monster stone slab. On the pale skeleton, the monster stone slab flickered with an alluring and strange light.

The old dragon died just like that, and what Xia Yu worried about did not happen. The old dragon did not break through to the quasi-god level, and everything disappeared.

Only the huge skeleton on the ground proves its existence.

Although the fog covering the dragon cemetery has not yet dissipated, Xia Yu knows that as long as the monster slate is taken away, the fog in the sky will also dissipate.

"Take the stone tablet with you." Alola Garagara glanced at the strange monster stone tablet, turned around and said to Xia Yu: "This thing will only cause trouble if it stays here. As for the Dragon Stone Tablet..."

Alola Galagala paused briefly at this point, then looked at Xia Yu and said, "Everything is decided by the Dragon God Pillar. If it doesn't care, then we have no right to care."

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded, his eyes fell on the monster slab, and looked at the Snow Demon Girl beside him: "Snow Demon Girl, the Monster Slab is full of weirdness. If I give it to you, will you be affected by it and become like the old dragon?"

"Probably not." The Snow Fairy's gaze fell on the Monster Slab, and then she said lightly: "Old Dragon is not a ghost-type Pokémon, so it will naturally be affected by the Monster Slab. Besides, this is also because its obsession is too strong... Wait, someone is coming!"

When the Snow Demon Girl said this, she suddenly turned her head and looked behind her.

Ok?

Xia Yu frowned slightly, and his eyes followed the Snow Demon Girl's gaze, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

I was a bit stuck in writing today. I wasn't very satisfied with what I wrote, so I kept deleting and revising, which wasted some time.

This chapter in particular took me four hours to write, please forgive me.
