A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

The raging dragon roars and deafening thunder transformed the shattered icy sea into a battlefield for divine beasts!

The Czech ROHM turbine-engine-like tail burst forth with blinding lightning, and a million volts of voltage, enhanced by the electrical field, transformed into liquid plasma that enveloped its entire body.

Zekrom's massive body, covered in abyssal black armor, crashed into Kyurem with the force to shatter space, guided by the blue and white light emanating from the Crystal of Ideals in Zhang Heng's hand!

The frost dragon's vertical pupils burned with a raging fury for being betrayed by the "accessory." It held nothing back, unleashing a chilling current that froze souls as it charged forward!

"Boom——!!!"

The close-quarters collision between the two first-level gods was like the collision of two planets, and the visible shockwave instantly flattened all the ice mounds within a radius of a thousand meters!

"All personnel take cover! Defend!"

Watching from afar, Lin Tianwang and the remaining members of the Chinese commando team, with the help of Pokémon, were hidden inside defensive fortifications, resisting the aftershocks of the battle from the legendary Pokémon.

However, two figures were crawling on the ice, struggling to move forward. It was Amin and Zhuzi, braving the oncoming extreme cold wind, their eyes hardening as they pressed on...

Each clash between the jet-black dragon scales and the gray-blue ice exploded with dazzling energy turbulence, and billions of azure electric snakes, amplified to the extreme by the electric field, leaped around Zekrom.

Each claw strike and wing sweep was accompanied by a thunderous roar that tore through the air;

Kyurem was surrounded by a dragon's might that could freeze everything. His frost breath and the tearing trails of his dragon claws condensed into sharp ice crystal paths in the air. The extreme cold even slowed down the lightning on Zekrom's body!

Kyurem is known as the strongest dragon, not only because of its divine status, but also because of its Ice and Dragon type moves, which give it a natural advantage in mirror matches against other Dragon-type Pokémon.

At the heart of this devastating energy storm, an incredulous crack finally appeared on Du Ling Shuang's icy face, and she gasped in disbelief.

"This is insane... Two Tier 1 gods are fighting to the death in close combat! Zekrom is actually going to fight Kyurem head-on for the sake of his ideals?!"

Standing to the side, Tang Guanjun's face was so solemn it was almost dripping with water. He stared intently at the giant tail of the Czech Röhm, which was spinning wildly and drawing energy from the entire electrical field like a superconducting turbine.

He said, "No! The situation may be even more intense... It's gathering strength! It's not just a fight, but a life-or-death struggle!"

As if echoing his insight, the crystal Zhang Heng held aloft almost burst into flames, and his soul's cry pierced through the thunderstorm, saying:

"Zekhrom! Bomb it! Lightning strike—!!!"

The moment the command was given, the entire electrical field suddenly went dark!

It was as if all the light was being swallowed up by the overloaded turbine black hole at the tail of the Czech Röhm!

The next second, a magnificent, destructive pillar of azure lightning—a lightning strike—emerged, its power and destructive force beyond description! The pinnacle of electric-based physical skills!

Like Thor's doomsday spear, it tore through space, evaporated all the ice crystals and cold air in its path, and pierced Kyurem's chest with the will to judge everything!

"Pfft—BOOM!!!"

The seemingly indestructible ice crystal breastplate vaporized and vanished like fragile glass!

Charred dragon scales mixed with ice shards and blood and flesh flew everywhere!

Kyurem let out a deafening howl of pain as its massive body was blasted off the ground by pure force for the first time, leaving a deep, terrifying scorch mark on the ice!

However, the severely wounded strongest dragon has completely transformed into a vengeful beast!

As it flew backward, its eyes turned bloodshot, and its left wing plunged into the icy sea beneath it, unleashing a hysterical roar: "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Click! Click! Click!

It wasn't an attack, but a pure burst of ice energy! Centered on it, the sea area within a radius of several thousand meters was instantly covered by ice energy at absolute zero!

Countless towering ice pillars, each over ten meters in diameter and engraved with ancient ice runes, burst forth from the sea like the fangs of hell, instantly forming a frozen inferno that imprisoned heaven and earth!

"Was that an icicle strike? The icicles formed a cage to trap Zekrom?"

The one who spoke was Du Champion, who specialized in Ice-type attacks. He had guessed half of Kyurem's intentions; his killer move wasn't about that.

Just as Zekrom was about to give chase, he was the first to be hit. The raging lightning didn't even have time to tear apart a few ice pillars before the extremely cold ice energy clung to him like maggots to his bones!

"Whoosh!" A pure white beam of light shot out from behind the ice pillars and struck Zekrom squarely in the chest.

It was Kyurem who used the Ice-type move - Freeze Beam. Zekrom grunted, because Ice-type moves were twice as effective against it.

Zhang Heng, who was closely connected with the ideal dragon, also felt a tightness in his chest, and the taste of blood filled his mouth.

But what's worse... to Du Ling Shuang and Tang Guan Jun's horrified gazes, the pitch-black dragon god was visibly covered by thick ice, turning into a desperate ice sculpture suspended in mid-air, maintaining a charging posture!

"Can even a first-level god be frozen?"

"Oh no!" Tang Guanjun's expression changed drastically.

Kyurem didn't even look at Zekrom, who was frozen in a state of ice. Its cracked chest heaved violently, and the pale, lifeless beam of light that seemed to freeze time and space once again condensed in its mouth—the Freeze Ray!

This time, the spearhead of destruction was firmly locked onto that tiny yet deeply hated source on the ice—the idealist—Zhang Heng!

"Die!!!" The breath of death is about to burst forth!

"Keldio—!!"

A roar like that of a dying beast exploded forth! It was Duan Suyue!

Blood was streaming from the eyes and mouth of this towering man, and the skin on his arm supporting the fighting slab was peeling away inch by inch, revealing the faint white bone beneath the flesh...

But the flame in his eyes burned to its extreme!

He poured his remaining faith, the shattered waveguide, and the last essence of the fighting stone into the wounded Holy Swordsman beside him without reservation!

"Whoosh—!!!"

Keldeo let out a heart-wrenching cry, and its dim single horn on its head erupted at that moment!

An unprecedented brownish-red divine light emanated from it! A vast holy sword composed of countless ancient runes, imbued with the fighting-type primal power of the creator god—the Mysterious Sword!

Its power instantly surpassed its own limits! The hundred-meter-long sword light cleaved through the thunderclouds, and the immense fighting pressure even caused the rapidly erupting extreme cold flames to pause!

"Cut it open...!"

Duan Suyue's roar was filled with blood and foam! Keldeo transformed into a crimson comet burning with life, carrying the resolute will of the human trainer who used life as fuel, and crashed headlong into that destructive pale breath!

Rumble, rumble—! ! !

An indescribable light of annihilation devoured everything! The collision of combat and ice flames seemed to give birth to a miniature sun!

The blinding white light forced Tang Guanjun and Du Lingshuang to close their eyes!

The terrifying shockwave evaporated the thick ice sheet, creating a giant crater nearly a kilometer in diameter and with an unfathomable depth!

As the light dimmed, a terrifying, charred sword wound was revealed on Kyurem's ice-crystal-covered chest, running across his abdomen and reaching deep enough to expose bone, with its edges still burning with brownish-red flames!

It let out a roar that was a mixture of pain and rage!

However, the price was devastating—Keldio's single horn was covered in cracks, and its small body, like a broken doll, was slammed into the bottomless glacial crevice by the aftershocks of the explosion, its fate unknown!

Duan Suyue stared intently at Kyurem, but a smile played on his lips…

He knew this was his all-out effort, even against the most powerful first-level god in the world, the champion of China who dared to draw his sword.

He deserves the championship title!

They have lived up to the expectations of the hundreds of millions of people behind them!

Blood streamed from his eyes and mouth as he fell straight backward, completely unconscious. The fighting slab slipped from his limp hands, its light fading away...

"Old Duan..."

"Brother Duan..."

"Duan Guanjun!!"
