Chapter 665 The Stone Slab is the Target
"Dad, Uncle Luo..."
Zhang Heng's voice also turned serious as he asked a question that had been on his mind.
He asked, "Are you planning to... proactively declare war on the Temple of Creation and eliminate this threat?"
Zhang Leiyuan drank the now-cold tea in one gulp, his movements decisive, but he slowly shook his head.
He said, “Of course I would. How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed? Especially such a dangerous organization. But now is definitely not the right time.”
He looked at Zhang Heng, his gaze sharp as a knife.
He said, "We still know too little about the Temple of Creation, especially their highest level—the First Divine Dread. His identity is a mystery, his whereabouts are elusive, and no one even knows exactly which Pokémon he possesses."
"But what is certain is that he possesses some kind of... ability to interfere with time."
"Interference with time?!"
Zhang Heng was horrified. Almost instantly, he recalled the terrifying scene he had witnessed in the historical echoes of the Water Lord's Secret Realm.
The ancient Lingling Tower collapsed in the war, and the one who led the ancient war that caused Ho-Oh's departure was a mysterious person wearing a strange mask and controlling Armored Mewtwo!
That person can really fight across time and space?!
"Could it be... that masked man is the First Divine Punishment?!"
A terrible thought arose in Zhang Heng's mind, but he suppressed his shock and did not immediately voice his guess.
Following his father's words, he analyzed the situation and expressed his own thoughts: "Traveling through or interfering with time... The most likely Pokémon with this ability is Celebi, right? Could it be that the First Divine Raider caught a Celebi?"
Zhang Leiyuan looked at his son and asked, "Why are you so sure it's only a rabbi?"
Zhang Heng was taken aback, then replied, "Because besides that, there is only Dialga, who controls the rules of time, and Palkia, who corresponds to him."
"But the Twin Gods of Time and Space... these supreme beings who are at the pinnacle of legend and are almost the embodiment of rules, would they also obey the commands of humans?" He found it hard to believe.
Zhang Leiyuan nodded in agreement with his son's insight, but what he said next struck Zhang Heng like a thunderbolt, causing his entire body to tremble uncontrollably.
“You make a good point. But you’ve overlooked an older, more fundamental possibility.”
Zhang Leiyuan's voice seemed to come from the long river of history as he said, "Legend has it that when Arceus first created the world beneath our feet, the first region it created was called Ancient Shin'on."
"After completing the creation, Arceus not only left behind the Three Sacred Mushrooms, symbolizing wisdom, emotion, and will—Uxie, Memridor, and Azelf—but also a chosen human race to cooperate with the Three Sacred Mushrooms in overseeing and maintaining this nascent world."
Zhang Heng's breathing suddenly quickened. This story... was exactly the same as the myths and legends of the world he came from!
There is indeed such a guardian family in the Old Sinnoh region, which has been passed down through generations. Even Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion in the anime, has a connection with them.
And a special ability is commonly found among the members of that family...
Zhang Leiyuan continued speaking, each word striking a chord in Zhang Heng's heart.
"This chosen race possesses a unique talent passed down through generations. This talent allows them to communicate and resonate more deeply with legendary Pokémon, especially those associated with creation..."
Zhang Heng suddenly raised his head to look at his father, his voice dry and hoarse without him even realizing it: "You mean... the First Divine Punishment might possess... the power of overcoming all obstacles?!"
Zhang Leiyuan's eyes were filled with unprecedented apprehension and solemnity, and he slowly nodded.
He said, "Based on the fragments of intelligence we've pieced together so far... it's unknown and unclear. But it's almost certain that the First Divine Punishment is very likely a descendant of that ancient guardian family, and possibly even a core member."
He paused, then voiced the worst-case scenario: "And we must be fully prepared for the worst-case scenario—if he really does possess the power of the Supercrypha."
"Then, is it possible for him to use this power favored by the creator god to communicate with gods of time and space like Dialga and Palkia, and even... to a certain extent, control them?"
A deathly silence fell over the study. This hypothesis was too astonishing, too terrifying!
If the leader of the Temple of Creation has truly mastered the method of communicating with or even cooperating with the two gods of time and space, then the destruction and impact they can cause will be completely immeasurable!
Zhang Heng took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
His father's speculation, along with his previous association that the masked man might be a god, and the system's notification that he was awakening superhuman power, intertwined to make him feel that an invisible and dangerous net was tightening around him.
He forced himself to think calmly and raised a key question: "Father, if their goal is really to establish a theocratic world, then why are they so active recently, even going so far as to assist foreign enemies and personally intervene?"
"What is the purpose of provoking such a large conflict on two battlefields in East and South China? There must be a direct trigger or something they want, right?"
Zhang Leiyuan did not answer directly, but tapped the table lightly with his fingers, looking at Zhang Heng with deep eyes, and slowly guiding him.
He said, "Xiao Heng, think back carefully. Is there something... similar that attracts their attention and actions like a magnet between these two seemingly independent battlefields?"
"The same thing?" Zhang Heng frowned, his mind racing through the carnage in the East China Sea, the battle for the Suicune's secret realm, the frozen war in the South China Sea... Duan Guanjun's desperate defense... Kyurem's rage...
Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning flashing in the darkness!
Zhang Heng suddenly stood up from his seat, his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and his face was filled with disbelief and shock. A clear chain of clues instantly formed in his mind!
He gasped softly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement and realization:
"It's a stone tablet! The attribute stone tablet of Arceus, the creator god?!"
"The Dragon Stone Tablet embedded in Kyurem's body in the South China Sea! The Fighting Stone Tablet that Duan Guanjun risked his life to protect, exhausting all his mental and physical strength! And... the Water Drop Stone Tablet held in the Lingling Tower in the East China Suicune Secret Realm!!"
Zhang Heng spoke faster and faster, his thoughts becoming clearer and clearer, and a chill ran down his spine.
He said, "Their wars, their interventions across time and space... their true purpose is to collect the Creation Tablets scattered throughout the world?! What do they intend to do with these fragments that contain the power of creation?!"
This discovery is like lifting the tip of a massive iceberg, revealing a chillingly clear thread pointing to the ultimate goal behind all the seemingly chaotic actions!
