Chapter 432: Atonement Slowly
"Damn it! Damn Kyurem! You're cheating again!" Xerneas stabbed Kyurem with his horns.
"You are slandering me! You are slandering me! How could I cheat?" Kyurem, who was being pushed around by Xerneas, made a stubborn sound.
"Okay Xerneas, stop pushing, Kyurem is almost broken by you." Palkia saw this and quickly pulled him back: "Besides, you are too OOC now, aren't you an elegant and holy Pokémon?"
"Damn, no matter how elegant and holy you are, you'll go crazy if you keep passing life force to that broken tree on an isolated island every day! When you look up, there's that broken tree, and when you look down, there's the endless ocean. At first, Lugia and the three sacred birds would come over to chat with you, but later they just stopped coming." Xerneas was very dissatisfied.
Of course, if it had always been like that, Xerneas would have felt fine, until he waited for his destined person Yaoling. He would have to sacrifice his life for the Tree of Life, and when the Tree of Life completely withered, he would consume all his strength to become a new Tree of Life.
As a result, Yao Ling rescued the other party in less than three seconds. In the first second, he opened the backpack, in the second second, he took out the gift from Arceus, and in the third second, he placed it on Xerneas' head.
If he had known it was so easy, he would have just given up and avoided worrying about that damn broken tree every day.
"Speaking of which, have you heard a strange sound?" Reshiram on the side was a little confused. For some reason, she always heard a strange sound in her ears.
"Ah, you mean that guy, right?" Zekrom pointed at the keystone beside him and said, "That's a rock flower monster. I don't know where Yaoling got it from. It can't speak and can only make strange noises, just like a villain."
"I see...By the way, is there something wrong with the Rock Monster?" Reshiram came in front of the Rock Monster.
Many strange patterns appeared on the keystone of the Flower Rock Monster, and then his huge soul head emerged from the keystone.
Hehehehe! Cough cough! Hehehehe! Ugh!
The Huayan monster made a gibberish sound, coughed and spit out five strange beads. Looking at the five strange beads, Jiujiu, who was in a daze, stepped forward and hugged the Huayan monster in his arms.
[Really? Huayanguai, are you eating randomly again? This is not allowed.] Jiujiu slapped Huayanguai's wedge stone, and Huayanguai nodded as if he understood.
But Xerneas sensed something was amiss. He sensed a familiar aura on those beads.
And the owner of those auras is...
"Lugia? And... Yveltal?" Xerneas asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that two of the beads would actually react.
"What! Yveltal!" After learning the whole story from Xerneas, Kyurem and his group hurriedly threw the beads to the ground and stomped on them, trying to destroy the opponent again.
but...
"Wait, wait! I'm not Yveltal! I'm Lugia!" Lugia's voice came from the bead. Upon hearing this, Kyurem and his companions stopped their steps.
At the side, Yveltal's bead emitted a black and red light, and a smaller version of Yveltal appeared in front of the bead and looked at Xerneas and his group.
He looked at his body, then looked at Xerneas in front of him: "I'm sorry Xerneas, this is all my fault."
"Oh? You look like this now. Have you recovered?" Xerneas looked at Yveltal. Compared to the Yveltal that liked to bark, this one was obviously much calmer now.
"Well, after being killed by the destined one, the power that bound me also disappeared." Yveltal said, "I thought I would enter the underworld for reincarnation, but the flower rock monster swallowed my soul and turned it into a bead."
“Xerneas, I want to ask you a favor.” Yveltal moved his body and revealed the bead that stored his soul. “Although what I did was not my original intention, it does not mean that my actions can be ignored or even forgiven.”
"Consider this as atonement, Xerneas. Destroy this bead and kill me." Yveltal's tone was sincere, like a brave man who faced his own life and death calmly.
However, Xerneas was unwilling to do so: "Yveltal, you must have made a mistake. Although I don't know why the flower rock monster preserved your soul, I think there must be a meaning behind it."
"I was indeed happy when I saw you being killed by Yao Ling's sword, but I was a little angry when your soul was saved by Hua Yanguai and you still wanted to die to atone for your sins."
"After all, if I really kill you, Huayanguai's efforts will be in vain. Therefore, instead of atonement by death, I think you should wash away your sins by helping others."
Xerneas also thought about breaking Yveltal's soul bead, but wouldn't that just fulfill her wish? He still remembered what Yveltal said, so rather than breaking the bead and letting her reincarnate, it was better to keep her to work.
After all, Yveltal's fighting ability is not bad, and he can be regarded as the new partner of the destined person Yao Ling. The most important thing is that Yveltal may have information about the collector, which is the top priority.
"Is that so? You are as gentle as before, Xerneas." Yveltal was somewhat touched after hearing what Xerneas said. She thought that Xerneas would be so impatient that he would push her to death.
Now it seems that he underestimated the other party.
Yveltal was somewhat touched, but unfortunately he didn't know Xerneas's little thoughts, otherwise his touch would have been taken away in an instant.
"Speaking of which, where is the destined person? Why can't I see him?" Yveltal scanned the scene inside the base. He saw many familiar faces, but he did not see Yao Ling.
Hearing this, Jiujiu said unnaturally: [He, uh, he is very busy now]
"Is that so? Well, by the way, I have some information about the Collector here, which I think should be useful to you." Yveltal explained: "After being infused with power by Dark Emperor Luka, I spied some not-so-good things from that power."
"That thing is growing continuously now. Once it grows fully, it will be able to destroy the world easily. So I think the destined person may have a way to deal with it."
"As for the other party's name, if I remember correctly, its name is [Zero]"
