Chapter 86 Counterfeit Goods Meet Genuine Goods? (4k)

Pillar of Spears.

It's even more chaotic and dilapidated now than when Zeshu first arrived.

Countless fragments of rock were scattered on the brownish-yellow rock strata. The surrounding pillars were either rotten or gone. There were deep pits and deep cut marks on the ground.

However, the Pillar of Spear hasn't completely broken down yet, which means it's protected by some mysterious power.

"No, Champion Bamboo Orchid, you're not really going to die, are you?"

Seeing Zhu Lan relax and collapse to the ground with her hunched back, Ze Shu quickly helped her to steady her body and prevent further injury.

"Even if my arrival makes you feel hopeful, it doesn't have to come to this."

"cough--"

Zhu Lan rolled her eyes. "You try fighting for three days."

Ze Shu smiled and said, "Thanks to you, it won't take three days now."

"Then leave the rest to me. Thank you for your help."

Zhu Lan simply said, "I am the champion."

Zeqi: "Yes—yes."

He helped her to a spot against a pillar, where Xiao Song and Ah Li were also lying.

Upon seeing Ze Shu, Xiao Song's eyes widened: "It's Investigator!"

She never expected that the person who came to her aid at the last moment would be the very investigator who kept her up at night.

At this moment, the dark circles under her eyes had not yet faded; rather, after the battle with the Pillar of Spears, her dark circles had become even deeper.

Ze Shu simply nodded slightly without saying much. After handing Zhu Lan over to them, he then gazed at the crazed figure in the center of the spear pillar.

"Another one—" Chi Ri's face seemed to have sunken in, making him look like a dead man, though he also seemed somewhat delirious.

At this moment, the dim red chains emanating from Chi Ri's hands were all wrapped around Palucci's body, with red energy constantly swirling within them. His will was also constantly fighting against Palucci, to the point that both of their eyes were somewhat bloodshot and crazed.

Indeed, even Zhu Lan almost collapsed. Akari had to contend with both Palucci's consciousness and Zhu Lan's, and to have persevered to this extent demonstrates remarkable willpower.

Even now, you can hear him muttering to himself: "Once I've dealt with you, no one can stop me from creating a new world..."

"I've heard that sentence so many times it's made my head spin," Ze Shu said.

The Galaxy team members at the foot of Tianguan Mountain have always been thinking about something: The new world will eventually come, but the old world no longer has a ship to carry you.

"We've clashed with your Galactic Team so many times, but today is our first meeting, isn't it, Akatsuki?"

"—·Against me?" Akari moved his lips with difficulty. "Who are you?"

"Sachi said you seem to dislike me."

"Woolen cloth---"

Akari visibly froze for a moment, then, as if realizing something, his eyes widened suddenly, his chest heaving violently. "It's you! Investigator!"

"—You really hate me that much?"

Ze Shu twitched the corner of his mouth.

However, this 'taunt' actually worked quite well.

As Akari's emotions surged, one of the red chains in his hand suddenly shattered. At the same time, Palucci let out a thunderous roar: "Goohoo!!"

"Palucci, take him down!!" Akari roared. "This is the last obstacle to our creation of a new world!"

"Aren't you even going to ask Palucci if he's willing to create a 'new world' with you? That's all."

However, perhaps because the replica red chain in Akari's hand had broken again, Palucci's actions against Zeki's attack were significantly delayed.

"Huh?"

"Buee~!"

At this moment, Psyduck, whose head was wrapped in layers of red chains and which made it hard to see, clumsily covered its head and was pushed to Zephyr's side by Glaceon, accompanied by the urging voice of Memrito in its mind.

Zeshu grabbed the protruding end of the red chain wrapped around Psyduck and pulled it out.

As Sawaki pulled out the red chain, Psyduck's body began to spin rapidly like a top.

With a puzzled quacking sound, the red chain completely left Psyduck's body and appeared in Sawaki's hand.

The remaining Psyduck, dazed and confused, clutched its head, its legs unsteady, swaying and stumbling precariously. But once the red chains left its body, it felt a sense of relief: "Quack!"

At this moment, Akari, whose consciousness was somewhat clouded, noticed the red chain that had appeared in Ze Shu's hand, and his eyes widened slightly: "This—"

"Look closely, this is the real thing."

Unlike the dim red in Akari's hand, a bright red chain suddenly burst forth from Zeshu's hand, shattering several chains extending from Akari's hand as if driven by an arm, before leisurely wrapping around Palucci's body.

When Akari's counterfeit chain met Zeshu's genuine chain, it was almost powerless to resist and shattered at the slightest touch.

Palucci roared defiantly, "Roar!!"

Whether real or fake, these chains were wrapped around it as if they were free; if it were that easy to control...

Where does its dignity as the god of space fit in?!

But.

Seeing that Ze Shu's chains were also wrapped around Palucci, Akari finally realized something was wrong. He gritted his teeth and desperately forced his own will into Palucci's body.

"Absolutely not allowed"

He wanted to go all out, just like he had led the Galaxy Team to storm Mount Tianguan three days ago, aiming to suppress Palucci in one fell swoop—he wanted to gain absolute control over Palucci before Ze Shu's red chains could reach him!

But things did not develop as Chi Ri had predicted.

On the other end, the suppressive power of the true red chains was revealed. Before Zeki could even sense Palucci's frenzied consciousness, it was as if he was born with the power to suppress and control it, suppressing Palucci's resistance by a significant amount.

Compared to the distorted expression on Akari's face, his "intrusion" into Palucci was practically effortless.

The two sides are vying for control.

The opinion of Palucci, the so-called god of space, is actually the least important.

Time passed slowly, and as Akari's face contorted from exhaustion, Zeki gradually gained the upper hand.

This made Chi Ri's face even more uncomfortable and he struggled even more.

But soon he no longer needed to struggle.

As Ze Shu controlled Paluki, it angrily swung its arm, tearing several more sections of the [Fake Red Chain] wrapped around it with a bang; at the same time, the [Genuine Red Chain] swung high like a claw and cleaved through the Red Sun's chain as well!

The broken red chain fragments faded rapidly in the air, then slowly disintegrated, turning into a cloud of dark dust that was scattered by a gust of wind from the pillar of spears.

The chains in his hands snapped, causing Chi Ri to collapse to the ground, overwhelmed by the weight, his eyes filled with disbelief:

Why?

Ze Shu never expected things to be so simple.

Perhaps this is the power of genuine products to suppress counterfeit products.

"—So, a counterfeit is a counterfeit."

But perhaps the allure of the genuine red chains was too strong, as Palucci roared in a thunderous voice, "Roar—!!"

next second.

The spatial rift that had always existed on the Spear Pillar suddenly opened, and another enormous figure descended upon it.

It has four legs, its body is dark blue, and many parts of its body are covered with interwoven silver-white patterns. A cobalt blue gem is inlaid on its chest.

Dialga!

Corresponding to Palucci is the God of Time, who created the concept of "time." The moment it descended, Sawaki could feel time and space distorting and clashing on the Spear Pillar.

Dialga charged towards Palkia, who was bound by the red chains of the Zeju tree, without hesitation and launched an attack.

Its target was not the red chains on Palucci's body, nor did it want to free Palucci.

Instead, it directly attacked Palucci!

Peng!

The two enormous beasts suddenly collided, and the entire pillar of spears seemed to be undergoing some kind of change.

But strangely enough, Dialga, which is supposed to be good at special attack moves, didn't use "Time Roar" at all. Instead, it just sullenly used its steel head and horseshoe-inlaid hooves to beat Palkia at close range.

This caused Palkia to be caught off guard and get beaten black and blue by Dialga, his angry eyes glaring at his opponent.

"Gooho-One!!"

Faced with such an unexpected situation.

Chi Ri's expression turned fervent: "Yes, that's it! Let time and space intertwine!"

Destroy this wretched old world! Then, in the collision of time and space, a new world will be born! That's how it should be!

Ze Shu's face darkened: "...What's all the noise about?"

But Chi Ri's expression remained fervent.

He originally planned to have Palucci clash with Dialga after he controlled Palucci.

Thus, under the shock of time and space, this "old world" will soon be destroyed.

Unexpectedly, he obtained them effortlessly, without needing to actively control them to fight; the two spacetime gods naturally began to battle.

Although he didn't understand why their battle resembled a petty skirmish between thugs, the spreading spacetime fluctuations were undeniable. Akari could already sense that these fluctuations had spread beyond the Spear Pillar. Next, they would distort time and space throughout Sinnoh, ultimately destroying the entire world.

Even if the red chain in the investigator's hand was genuine, made by the three Legendary Pokémon of the Lake, these were still two legendary Pokémon! Masters of time and space!

Having fought Palucci for three whole days without being able to control it, Akari deeply understood—their willpower was exceptionally strong. Even with the strongest will of this investigator, it was impossible to control them all at once!

A maniacal smile gradually spread across Chi Ri's face.

Regardless, he is about to achieve "half" of his goal. For someone at such a disadvantage, he is already quite satisfied.

The advantage lies with him!

But soon, Akari's eyes widened in disbelief: "What—"

Seeing the two gods of time and space fighting like thugs, the investigator's expression was indeed very solemn, but he did not hesitate to throw the red chains at them, including Dialga, whose body was not previously bound by chains.

He actually wants to control Palucci and Dialga at once?!

But what Chi Ri found even more unbelievable was yet to come.

Next, Ze Shu's eyes gleamed with golden flames. He violently shook the chains, and the frenzied golden flames slid and burned along the bright red chains, instantly "injecting" into the bodies of the two Time Gods.

Almost simultaneously, the eyes of the two gods of time and space were also dyed golden yellow.

"Stop right there!" Ze Shu shouted.

A familiar power surged through their bodies, and Palkia and Dialga, who had been locked in a fierce battle, leaving each other bruised and battered, now seemed like children being scolded for their misbehavior—

Without the slightest resistance, he obediently stopped his fighting, even drooping his head as if receiving a lecture?!

The fluctuations in time and space suddenly subsided.

Chiri: "???"

Is this fake? Why?!

Why is it that even after suffering and enduring hardship for three days, he still couldn't control Napaluchi?

This investigator only needed to shout, and in less than half a minute, to "control" Palucci and Dialga together?!

Is the so-called real red chain really that powerful?!

If that were the case, Akari was filled with regret—if only he had known, he would have let Team Galactic attack the Three Great Lakes at all costs! Even if it meant facing the League's firepower, he had to capture the "Three Sacred Mushrooms"!

Seeing the two gods of time and space so obediently stop.

Ze Shu was also taken aback: "Huh?"

Is it really that easy?

He didn't even sense any resistance from Palkia or Dialga during that time. Weren't the wills of the two gods supposed to be extremely strong? How come it felt like it was just a matter of shouting?

The feeling he got was like... like...

As Zeki pondered this, he gradually approached Akari, who was lying on the ground, intending to first capture this culprit who had harmed Sinnoh: "Can you still resist? If you can't resist, then obediently surrender."

Chi Ri looked dejected, gritted his teeth, and refused to give up. But looking at the two gods of time and space standing quietly in the distance, controlled by Ze Shu, he could no longer muster any hope. He knew that his chances were slim, and at that moment, directly above them...

A sound like a curtain being torn apart rang out, and a black hole appeared out of thin air on the pillar of spears, from which a jet-black dragon head appeared—Giratina.

Ze Shu was wondering why this Giratina had appeared here again.

But then he saw Chi Ri stand up, staring at the black hole, his eyes gradually becoming clear. Having studied Sinnoh mythology extensively, he immediately recalled the related rumors: "This is the shadow side of Sinnoh—"

They are the opposite of Palkia and Dialga, and are said to live in another world.

Perhaps this Pokémon is his current hope!

Last hope!

Akari's face gradually lit up with excitement: "Investigator, you may have the upper hand for now. But my idea of ​​creating a new world without conflict has never changed, so—we'll meet again!"

Having said that, he opened his arms, wanting to enter the Reverse World where Giratina was, and embrace it.

But just as the blazing sun was about to sink into the black hole and enter the reversed world.

Giratina suddenly moved.

From within the reversed world, it displays an agility disproportionate to its massive size, with a flick of its tail.

Boom!

Chi Ri's body flew backward.
