Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Similarly, a faint, misty, poisonous fog enveloped the entire town.

The toxic fog was almost white in color, and to someone unaware of the truth, it might even be mistaken for ordinary fog.

Su Hao wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but as he looked down at the poisonous fog, he vaguely glimpsed a purple hue within it.

After landing at a makeshift observation post a few kilometers outside Shilin Town, Su Hao, the person in charge, checked the intelligence and confirmed that there were still no abnormalities inside the poisonous fog before starting the mission.

With a little effort and a late night, I'll clear the dungeon tonight, and then I can continue climbing the ranks tomorrow, aiming to achieve my goal of reaching number one by mid-May.

The person in charge offered to drive Su Hao there, but Su Hao refused outright, saying that he shouldn't bring anyone along when soloing, to avoid adding any uncertainty.

Arriving at the outskirts of Stone Forest Town, and seeing the poisonous fog that resembled white mist, Su Hao pondered for a moment, then enveloped his fingers with Aura and Everlasting Power before probing directly into the fog—

After waiting for a few minutes, and finding no problems with his fingers or body, Su Hao raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the poisonous fog was composed of energy directly, and as long as a certain level of energy membrane was maintained, the poisonous fog could not penetrate in a short period of time.

As for the Steel-type Pokémon that were poisoned, Su Hao analyzed that firstly, the Pokémon's strength was only around professional level, and secondly, Nihilego's toxin was a neurotoxin, which would invade the brain if the energy coating was not properly in place, without needing to corrode the Steel-type Pokémon's shell.

In any case, since I am not immune to the virus, it is most important to be careful in everything I do.

After covering his entire body with an energy membrane composed of the power of the Viridian and the power of the Aura respectively, and confirming that there were no gaps, Su Hao took out the Deluxe Sphere: "Come out, Milotic."

"Fuwu~"

Milos stretched out its body. Su Hao had already conveyed the specific situation to it through the waveguide, so there was no need for further explanation.

After winding their way into the mist, Milas closed his eyes to sense his surroundings. Once he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his body, he nodded slightly to Su Hao.

This toxic fog also had no effect on it.

Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief. His only worry was that the power of the two Water Gods would not work against the poison of the Ultimate Beast. Now it seems that their protection is still very valuable.

After ensuring that his protective energy membrane remained stable, Su Hao extended his waveguide, sensed the environment ahead, and said, "Let's go in."

Milos nodded slightly.

As night deepened, the once bustling town fell into an eerie silence. Buildings and signs stood everywhere, and items were scattered on the ground, along with haphazardly parked vehicles and rotten vegetables on stalls that hadn't been cleared away.

All of this speaks to how urgent the evacuation was at the time.

Walking along the streets filled with a strange smell, Su Hao exclaimed, "This place is just like a wasteland town."

Milotic was about to nod in agreement when, suddenly, as if sensing something, it looked at the corner of the building ahead.

The white figure there seemed to know it had been exposed, and quickly disappeared!

Su Hao's waveguide also detected that the other party had entered a stealth state, just like a creature in nature, transforming into one with its surroundings and erasing its own presence.

After exchanging a glance with Milotic, and following the faint sense of connection, Su Hao said, "Let's give chase!"

------------

Chapter 861 Pursuit, Nihilego Ito

As he and Milotic chased after the fleeing figure, Su Hao recalled the fleeting glance he had just taken.

It was a Pokémon that resembled a bell-shaped jellyfish, with an almost translucent body. Its head-like umbrella was surrounded by white six-pointed star markings, and the wavy edge of the umbrella was bright blue.

It has many gelatinous tentacles, several of which intertwine to form an appearance resembling a girl's long hair. Four shorter tentacles form the hair tips and arms, while the other two long tentacles form the legs of a humanoid figure, making it look just like the girl wearing a white hat in Su Hao's memory.

Without a doubt, that Pokémon... no, that Ultra Beast was Nihilego!

Su Hao also checked Nihilego's stats. The opponent's level was only mid-Celestial King, Milotic would be enough to deal with him!

Nihilego's flight speed wasn't fast, and Su Hao and Milotic were able to keep a considerable distance behind it.

The invisibility ability that had always worked was completely ineffective against Su Hao, the Aura Master. Perhaps Nihilego was getting impatient, because no matter how many times it twisted and turned outside these houses, it couldn't shake off Su Hao and Milotic, who were like leeches.

At a corner, the exasperated Kyog Ido launched an attack.

Several clumps of venom, poised to erupt from the tips of Nihilego's tentacles, burst forth the instant Su Hao and Milotic turned into their blind spot!

However, this level of sneak attack had no effect whatsoever on Su Hao, who had gained a god-like perspective, or Milotic, who had been given a god-like perspective by Su Hao.

Su Hao paused in his running, then leaped to the side, while Milotic soared upwards like a dragon, flying directly into the air.

Nihilego's attack missed its mark.

Neither Su Hao nor Milotic intended to rashly come into contact with Nihilego's toxins. Nihilego's code name is Ub:01 Parasite, which can parasitize humans or Pokémon, treating them as its hosts.

The anime also features a scene where the mother-in-law, Rosamune, is parasitized by Nihilego, which horrified Su Hao at the time, and now he is even more determined not to be parasitized by Nihilego.

Having missed its intended attack, Nihilego, floating in mid-air like a real jellyfish, human-like twitched its tentacles in mid-air, as if a cute girl were stomping her feet.

Such a bizarre scene almost caused Su Hao to fall victim to... the Happy Valley effect.

Now that Nihilego has launched the attack, there's no need for him to hold back anymore.

It's a bit unfair to the residents of the nearby houses, as battles between Heavenly Kings will cause extremely strong destruction. However, the government is taking care of the reconstruction, so that mission executors like Su Hao won't have to be timid.

Su Hao said, "Milus, Ice Beam."

As Milotic unleashed its frigid beams, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a thin layer of ice formed on the exterior of the houses.

Meanwhile, Nihilego, which was targeted by Milotic, swayed its body as a surging wave of sludge completely destroyed the surrounding buildings. However, before the sludge wave could reach Su Hao, it was frozen by the freezing beam, turning into a bizarre ice sculpture.

After easily freezing all the sludge waves, the freezing beam swept towards Nihilego Id without losing momentum!

Seeing that his signature move had been frozen by Milotic, Nihilego panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down, instantly fading away and appearing in the air a little further away as if by teleportation, letting out a chuckle.

It was as if they were laughing at Milotic's attack for missing.

"An ability I've never seen before and have no recollection of... is this the enigmatic Ultimate Beast...?"

Su Hao narrowed his eyes, thankful that the Divine Continent Alliance had evacuated in time. Otherwise, if Xu Wu Yide had used the "Beast Enhancement" trait to stack up, it would have become even more troublesome and its strength even more terrifying.

Sigh, I was hoping to preserve the precious memories of the residents of Shilin Town as much as possible, but it seems that's not going to happen now.

Looking at the Nihilego Ido, whose body and tentacles were trembling strangely in mid-air, Su Hao said in a deep voice: "Milanos, pseudo-Root Wave."

Countless bright blue beams of light shot out from Milotic's center, accompanied by a dazzling burst of light, instantly turning buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters into ruins!

This was still because Milotic was trying its best to control the aftershocks and prevent them from causing too much damage.

The result of massive destruction.

Surrounded by a dense net of beams of light, Nihilego was completely panicked. Seeing its reaction, Su Hao chuckled and said, "Go ahead and laugh. Why aren't you laughing? Are you just naturally averse to laughing?"

From this moment on, it will not be Nihilego, the Ultra Beast, hunting humans, but Su Hao and Milotic hunting it down!

........

“Roy...Roy..."

The battered and bruised Nihilego continued to traverse the streets and alleys, followed by a constant barrage of bright white beams that swept across the landscape, causing buildings to collapse amidst deafening roars.

Compared to itself, the people and Pokémon behind it are more like the destroyers of the city.

Even if Nihilego could dodge, it couldn't withstand Milotic's dense attacks, not to mention that its own psychic poisons had no effect on Milotic.

Xu Wu Yidu fled and fled, until the surrounding buildings disappeared and a circular plaza with stone pillars came into view.

The poisonous fog here was incredibly dense, obscuring everything so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Suddenly, Xu Wu Yide felt a sharp pain in its head. It remembered that it seemed to have first appeared here—

Before Nihilego could recall anything, three giant claws with sharp, pinkish-purple tips suddenly emerged from the dense poisonous fog. Nihilego had no time to react, or perhaps he simply had no ability to resist, and could only stand there dumbfounded as the giant claws crashed down!

Su Hao and Minas, who followed closely behind, also witnessed this scene. They were now in the center of Stone Forest Town, in the central square lined with stone pillars.

Inside the plaza, the white poisonous fog had somehow turned into a dense purple, and a colossal figure whose outline filled the entire plaza was now standing there!

"Fuu!?"

Milotic suddenly cried out in alarm. A small amount of purple poisonous mist was now clinging to its body, wriggling as if it were breaking down some invisible, transparent protective barrier.

This is the first time!

The next instant, as the surrounding air began to hum and spacetime began to distort, mysterious blue and white threads formed a sunken and collapsing spatial passage next to the giant claw that firmly pressed down on Nihilego.

The ultimate hole!

Before Su Hao could recover from his shock, the giant claws threw Nihilego Ido into the Ultimate Hollow, and at the same time, a grand sound like the tolling of an ancient bell began to echo around them.

[You've finally arrived, partner of the Cocoon of Light. We've been waiting for you for so long.]

Chapter 862 Riddle Dragon and the New Era

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ultimate Cave closed, revealing a terrifying truth to Su Hao—

This mysterious being possesses the power to open and close the Ultimate Void at will.

Under Su Hao's waveguide detection, the outline and shape of the enormous object could be barely discerned.

It was a gigantic bee-like creature with dragon wings, stingers growing from its shoulders and lower body, and a body entirely purple... an ultimate monster.

It is seven or eight meters long or even larger, a giant creature rarely seen in the ocean.

The transformation of the surrounding Nihilego's poisonous fog into a dense purple fog was clearly its doing. It was a terrifying fog that was even eroding the protection laid down by the two gods of Aqua. Even Su Hao could feel his Aura and Everlasting Power being consumed at an alarming rate.

Su Hao remembered its name: the Ultra Beast Jawthorn, a Poison/Dragon type Pokémon.

If that sound wasn't his imagination, then this mysterious four-jawed needle dragon... could communicate!

Su Hao asked in a deep voice, "What does 'Cocoon of Light' mean?"
