Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

......

......

After passing through the last wilderness, the gloomy cemetery appeared before our eyes.

Densely packed tombstones stood in the snow, each covered with thick frost.

Ghost-type Pokémon wandered around the cemetery.

Night patrol spirits were marching in neat rows, and ghostly dolls were hanging on the branches of dead trees, swaying gently.

From time to time, translucent shadows of Pokémon appeared in the air.

Those blurry figures lingered among the tombstones for a moment, then disappeared with the wind and snow.

The entire cemetery was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and even the howling cold wind carried a sad whimper.

Li Chen stood still for a moment and retrieved a piece of letter from the system space.

The dark crown wax suddenly glowed faintly, like a burning ember in the wind and snow.

The envelope floated up from his palm without any wind and drifted towards the depths of the cemetery.

"Follow."

Li Chen said briefly, his eyes following the flickering light.

The envelope flew past the snow-covered tombstones, leaving a fleeting wax mark on each one it passed.

As the wax mark disappeared, the wandering soul lights suddenly stopped for a moment.

Then, as if summoned, they returned to their respective stone tablets.

Creak...

Around the snow-covered graves, withered weeds began to sprout at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The tender green buds penetrate the ice and stretch out stubbornly in the biting wind and snow.

The tip of each new blade of grass is condensed with a crystal light of the soul, making the entire cemetery look like a dream.

Irene stared at this miraculous scene in amazement and held her breath unconsciously.

Suddenly, a faint green light appeared in her hair.

But the light was fleeting, dissipating in the wind and snow before anyone could see it clearly, so fast that one wondered if it was just an illusion.

She raised her hand blankly and touched the top of her head, but her fingertips only touched cold snowflakes.

"Li Chen!"

Ailin called out to Li Chen eagerly, her voice a little panicked, "Did you see my hair just now... Is there something wrong?"

Li Chen stopped and looked at her carefully.

In the snow, a barely detectable speck of green light still lingered in the girl's hair...

"Ah."

Li Chen nodded, his tone calm: "You are cheating."

This overly straightforward answer made Irene freeze instantly.

She frantically grabbed a lock of hair to examine it, but only saw its original color.

"Let's go, keep going."

Li Chen turned around and followed the floating letter.

The envelope guided them through numerous tombstones and finally stopped at the deepest part of the cemetery.

A giant stone tablet three meters high stands tall.

Time has etched deep lines on its surface, but the crown-shaped groove in the center is still clearly visible.

The fluttering envelope was now hanging in front of the groove, the wax mark perfectly overlapping the outline of the stone groove, emitting a pulsating light.

Li Chen stared at the mottled ancient characters on the stone tablet. Those twisted runes looked like some lost characters.

Unfortunately, he couldn't understand it.

"Abundance...rests here."

Irene unconsciously took two steps forward and lightly touched the cold surface of the monument with her fingertips.

Her voice suddenly became ethereal, as if she wasn't the one speaking.

The incomprehensible symbols on the stone tablet gradually became clear to her eyes, transforming into an epitaph:

Abundance rests here

Its flesh and blood turned into fertile soil

Its breath becomes the spring breeze

When the stars shed tears

New sprouts will eventually break through the soil

Chapter 466: Giant Wristband

When the last syllable fell, the inscription that Irene touched suddenly lit up with an emerald green light.

The dead vines wrapped around the stone tablet sprouted new buds at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, they were covered with tiny white flowers.

The wax seal on the envelope now glowed bright red, as if the signal I had been waiting for for years had finally been answered...

"Humanity..."

A vicissitudes of life voice that seemed to travel through time and space rang out in the wind and snow.

The snow suddenly fluttered and swirled into a pale vortex in front of the stone tablet.

In the center of the vortex, a figure gradually emerged.

The Bud Crown's snow-white hair fluttered in the cold wind, and its dark green crown tiara shone with an ancient luster...

Its long legs seemed to descend slowly on invisible stairs.

With every step you take, ice crystal flowers bloom.

The eyes that had overlooked a thousand years of time lowered slightly, and Li Chen's figure was reflected in the azure pupils:

"When you hear this voice... I must have awakened again in this land."

The Bud Crown King's gaze slowly shifted towards Irene, and the buds on the crown suddenly blossomed with a soft glow.

"My messenger..."

Its voice suddenly became warm, like melting spring snow: "After a hundred years of reincarnation, we finally meet again."

"Eh?"

Irene pointed at herself blankly, her elf ears trembling slightly in surprise. "God, God's messenger? Me?"

She looked at Li Chen for help, but saw that he had a thoughtful expression.

Cosmogu twisted restlessly in her arms, and his nebula-like body suddenly projected countless light spots, outlining patterns around Irene similar to the crown of the King of the Rape Crown.

"and many more..."

Li Chen suddenly remembered something and his eyes fell on Irene's empty neck. "Weren't you wearing a turquoise necklace before? But it seems to have broken."

The images in my memory gradually became clearer.

The pendant, which bore a striking resemblance to the Bud Crown King's necklace, was shattered and dissipated on the ground by the Paper Sword.

The only difference is that the emerald on the chest of the Bud Crown King always radiates divine light, while Irene's...

Looks like a pirated copy.

"Ah! That..."

Irene hurriedly covered her collarbone. When her fingertips touched her skin, she remembered that the pendant had already broken. "Wow, it's not fallen off..."

"nothing."

The Bud Crown King let out a long sigh, and a petal suddenly fell from the bud on his crown.

The petals turned into emerald light particles in the air, and gradually condensed into the prototype of the pendant that was exactly the same as the one in Irene's memory.

The Bud Crown King raised his head, and the buds on his crown swayed slightly.

Its solemn voice echoed through the graveyard:

"Two divine messengers..."

Its gaze first fell on Irene, then turned to Li Chen.

The pair of pupils that saw through a century flickered slightly:

"The world has been eroded by foul air, and I need your help."

As he spoke, the Rape Crown King suddenly lowered his noble head to Li Chen, "Especially you... Your Excellency, the Honorable Divine Envoy."

Although they are both messengers of God, there are also differences between them.

Even though Irene is the messenger of God it recognizes, she is not as "noble" as Li Chen.

At least, the person standing behind Li Chen is the one who truly represents everything.

"Please tell me..."

Its voice suddenly became extremely solemn, "What you desire."

The emerald on the Bud Crown King's crown suddenly cast a dazzling light curtain, revealing countless shimmering images:

The images on the light screen kept changing.

From the "Crown Snowfield Control" that exudes a cold atmosphere, to the "Wishing Star" that seems to contain endless energy, there is even a "token" of some legendary Pokémon.

Each one is a treasure that can drive trainers crazy...

Li Chen pondered for a moment, then asked directly, "Do you have... a Gigantamax wristband?"

This "simple" request visibly stunned the Rape Crown King.

The buds on its crown drooped slightly, as if to confirm whether it had heard correctly.

For the King of Buds, the Gigantamax wristband is the cheapest item in his collection.

But for Li Chen, this is very expensive.

The price in the system mall... is a full ten thousand points...!

Other mythical beast tokens mean nothing to him.

You never know when you might run into one and pluck out a few of your hairs.

But the Gigantamax wristband is different.

Besides going to the Pokémon world.

You can only use the system to redeem it!

Li Chen was thinking in his mind, but his eyes unconsciously drifted behind the Lotus Crown King.

Countless phantoms of legendary treasures hovered there, each one far exceeding the value of the Maximal Wristband...

"Are you sure..."

Rape Crown's voice was filled with a confusion not seen in a century. "Just this?"

"Be content with what you have."

Li Chen smiled and spread his hands, his eyes sweeping over Irene who was standing there in a daze. "Besides, don't you still have a genuine divine messenger to take care of? You have to leave some good things for her."

This joke made Irene shudder.

She hugged Cosmogu tightly in her arms, feeling quite moved.

He was thinking about me...
