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

"Huh! Huh!"

Two extremely sharp whistles tore through the air, shattering the still-lingering buzzing of the spirit realm's energy, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, deadly and insidious.

Two specially treated alloy bullets, their surfaces engraved with energy-suppressing patterns, carrying scorching air currents, were pointed one after the other at Zhang Heng's brow and heart!

Mozambican shooting technique: one shot to the chest, one shot to the head; even Jesus would be troubled.

The distance was too close and the speed too fast; in the distorted light environment of the spirit world, the trajectory of the ballistic missile was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.

Zhang Heng was completely unaware of this.

His entire consciousness was immersed in the vast and boundless "sea of ​​stars" that had just been illuminated deep within his soul.

The awakening of the Superpower was like igniting a gentle sun within him; a warm and boundless enlightenment washed over every nerve, and his perception of external danger was reduced to a minimum.

But he was not alone.

"You beast! How dare you—!!!"

Zhang Leiyuan's roar was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, filled with boundless rage and a hint of ferocity as if his sore spot had been touched.

His eyes were bloodshot, and although the distance was a bit far, his war-weary eyes locked onto the bullet in an instant.

However, in this world where Pokémon power is paramount, especially in the face of top trainers and their partners, the threat of modern firearms has been proven countless times to be far less significant than imagined.

Pokémon's keen senses, swift reactions, and various strange supernatural abilities are enough to intercept or even deflect bullets right in front of them.

The fact that Dian Sha pulled out his gun at that moment precisely shows that he had reached a dead end and had exhausted all his options.

The Combo-Style Martial Arts Bear Master, who was closest to Zhang Heng, reacted the fastest, and his reddish-brown fighting aura exploded on his body!

"Roar…"

It let out a low growl, its titanium-crystal right fist clenched, ready to either brace itself with its bare body or unleash a stream of water to knock down the bullets.

But just a moment before Martial Arts Master Xiong's muscles bulged and he was about to unleash his power—

"Om..."

An indescribable, gentle yet supremely powerful strange fluctuation spread silently from Zhang Heng's center.

It wasn't an aggressive burst of energy; it was more like the quiet arrival of some kind of "rule."

Zhang Heng seemed to be enveloped in a faint golden halo that was difficult to see with the naked eye but was real, making him appear sacred and serene.

Two alloy bullets, carrying the aura of death, suddenly stopped less than half a foot away from Zhang Heng's body in mid-air!

It wasn't that it was blocked by any physical barrier, but rather that it was as if it had been trapped in the thickest, most solid amber of time.

They continued to spin at high speed, with even slight airflow disturbances at their tails, but they just couldn't move forward even a millimeter!

It hovered in mid-air in a bizarre and physics-defying manner, the tip of the bullet pointing at Zhang Heng's vitals trembling slightly, but to no avail.

"Roar!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong's actions did not stop there.

A fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and its robust body instantly closed in. Its giant hand, covered in hard crystals, suddenly shot out with lightning speed, its five fingers closing together!

"Snap! Crack! Snap—!!!"

A tooth-grinding explosion of metal twisting and shattering!

Master Xiong's five fingers are like the most precise hydraulic clamps, yet they also contain terrifying brute force capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks.

The two special alloy bullets that were "frozen in place" were crushed and flattened in his palm without any suspense!

The hard cartridge case shattered like a fragile eggshell, and the gunpowder and metal core inside were crushed and squeezed by the violent force.

It eventually turned into a small clump of dust mixed with glittering metal fragments, which fell softly from between the martial arts master's fingers.

The whole process was filled with a primitive and domineering beauty of power, as if what was being crushed was not a bullet that could take a life, but a ball of mud in a child's hand.

But another shadow of revenge arrives even faster and more ruthlessly!

"Woo——!!!"

The long-time lurking figure, closest to the electric demon, had already transformed into a deep purple afterimage the instant the muzzle flashed!

With the blessing of the spirit world, its speed exceeded the limits of neural reflexes.

“Pfft——!!!”

A chilling thud, a mixture of breaking bones and tearing flesh, followed by the sound of a bullet being crushed!

Doronchi's tail, which had become unusually thick and powerful and covered with illusory dragon scales, was like a steel whip brimming with power, or a merciless dragon spear, lashing out from below at the elbow of Dian Sha's left arm, which had just drawn another spare weapon!

A terrifying power erupted instantly!

"Crack!"

The arm bone snapped in two, the broken pieces piercing through the combat uniform and flesh, starkly exposed in the dim light of the spirit world.

The immense impact caused the forearm to contort into an uncomfortable, reversed joint position. Even more terrifying, however, was the remarkable "precision" control of the force of the blow.

The skin and some muscles were not completely torn apart. Between the broken flesh and bone, there were still a few stubborn and pale tendons and membranes connected by a thin veil, making the arm hang down in an extremely grotesque and precarious way.

And this is just the beginning!

The tail, with its arm severed, continued its momentum. Using that immense force, the tip of the tail, like the sharpest awl, thrust forward without any hindrance!

"laugh--!"

Precisely insert it into the gap between the third and fourth ribs below the left side of the electric shock, until the hilt is completely inside!

"Uh... gulp..."

Electricity's body suddenly stiffened, like a specimen nailed to the spot.

The excruciating pain overwhelmed him like a tsunami, but his face did not immediately contort with the expected pain.

Instead, there is a deeper and more thorough despair—the collapse of faith.

His eyes widened, his pupils dilating from extreme shock and a shattering of his understanding, as he stared intently at the pale golden aura around Zhang Heng that had not yet completely dissipated, and the grayish-white fragment in his hand that was emitting a faint resonance.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he seemed oblivious to the pain of his lungs being pierced; his voice was hoarse and broken, filled with incomprehensible madness.

"Why...why...do you possess this power..."

"Why... can you activate a sacred artifact?! Who are you?! Who exactly are you?!"

Zhang Heng ignored the dying roar of the electric shock.

His consciousness had just slightly withdrawn from the profound ocean of super-force, and all his attention was focused on the cool, grayish-white fragment in his palm.

Inside the fragment, a strange power was resonating faintly yet clearly with his newly awakened super-counter force. The feeling... was not repulsion, but rather a strange, blood-connected sense of affinity.

"Why?" Zhang Heng was filled with doubt and confusion, his thoughts racing.

"The power of this fragment is evil and twisted, capable of forcibly controlling divine beasts. Why does it resonate with me so much? Is it because I'm a transmigrator? Because of my special soul characteristics? No..."

He rapidly searched for all the information from his past life memories and his experiences in this life.

Fragments, control of divine beasts, evil energy, resonance with the power of super-counter, referred to as a "sacred artifact" by the Temple of Creation.

Suddenly, a piece of information from the original plane, a setting from the theatrical version of "Halo: Super Mazinger Z," cleaved through the fog like lightning!

The Judgment Jar! Hoopa!

In the theatrical version, Hoopa's fighting power is that of the strongest person below Arceus.

To restrain the belligerent and power-abusing Hoopa, a tool was created—the Judgment Pot.

Legend has it that the Judgment Jar was used to seal away the overwhelming power of the legendary Pokémon Hoopa (Liberated Form).

In ancient legends, it was Arceus who granted a special power to a group of chosen humans to control and purify the Judgment Pot and maintain balance.

That chosen power is called—the power of overpowering!

As time passes, the sealed power may corrupt, combining with Hoopa's malice to form an even more dangerous entity...

With this thought in mind, everything became clear!

Zhang Heng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he murmured to himself, as if confirming something: "The fragments of the Judgment Jar... So that's it. No wonder they attracted each other to my super-countering power..."
