"You mean… Necrozma?"
Axel froze for a moment, then immediately felt that Professor Rowan's proposal was highly feasible.
As the master of Ultra Space, Necrozma itself possessed all kinds of mysterious authorities.
In its Radiant form, it could grant light, and after losing its light, it could plunder it. All of that showed that it was a god with complete rules.
Those rules might not be expressed to their fullest in terms of raw combat power, but it was still the master of a small world.
Axel looked at Palkia beside him, "I'll have it come over right away."
Since Necrozma hadn't regained its light, it would still occasionally fall into that berserk state.
So Axel had left it in Ultra Space instead of bringing it out, planning to deal with the issue after heading to Volcanion's place.
Now it seemed… he'd have to handle it ahead of schedule.
———
After returning to Ultra Space with Palkia, Axel didn't stay long.
After briefly instructing Diao Chan and Briar to quickly develop their strength, Axel took Necrozma's Poké Ball from the Unova dragon trio and left Ultra Space.
It was worth mentioning that they had already reached the point where they could complete any two-way fusion while maintaining each individual's consciousness.
For the three dragons becoming one, this was clearly a milestone-level improvement.
The direction Axel gave them next was to first fuse Reshiram and Zekrom into the Dragon of Ideals, and then try again.
As long as they could ensure that each dragon god's will didn't disappear during the fusion process, they should be able to truly recreate the Unova Dragon God.
A few minutes later, Axel returned to Mt. Coronet with a Pokémon that looked like a pitch-black prism, its entire body radiating brutality.
The moment they stepped out of the spatial rift, Necrozma's violent aura instantly spread across the entire mountain range.
The Pokémon that had just been calmed by Gardevoir and entered a laid-back state all widened their eyes in fear, their bodies retreating uncontrollably, some even on the verge of stumbling into random spatial fractures.
Fortunately, they were too busy being scared and showed no signs of fighting again. Otherwise, Gardevoir would have had to start all over.
"So this is Necrozma?", Professor Rowan suppressed the instinctive fear in his body and looked at Necrozma with excitement.
"I can feel it. It seems to have access to other forms. Even though its life is incomplete right now, it truly possesses complete rules."
Cynthia also looked at Necrozma in surprise. The last time they met at sea, she already knew Axel had conquered Ultra Space.
But she hadn't expected that Axel had actually defeated such a twisted and powerful god.
Looking at Axel, she unconsciously murmured, "So strong."
Axel chuckled and wrapped an arm around Cynthia's slender waist, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"You've known I'm strong for a while now, haven't you?"
Seeing Cynthia's face turn red in an instant, Axel grinned and stopped teasing the Sinnoh Champion.
"Have all the researchers except Professor Rowan withdraw. In a moment, I'll have Pokémon protect him, and then we'll test whether Necrozma can absorb the red light in the sky."
"Got it."
Cynthia nodded, and her aura suddenly turned imposing.
"Necrozma is about to attempt to suppress the spread of the distorted spacetime. This process may be dangerous. All non-combat personnel, evacuate immediately."
Beside her, Flint, Lucian, Aaron, and the other Elite Four members and Gym Leaders all moved quickly. Before long, the area around the Spear Pillar on Mt. Coronet was cleared, leaving only the League's combat personnel.
Seeing that everything was ready, Axel took a deep breath and began circulating his psychic power, trying to communicate with Necrozma.
"Necrozma, can you hear me?"
["Yes~"], A voice like glass scraping against a blackboard appeared in Axel's mind. It was clear that Necrozma was enduring extreme pain.
"I need your help with something," Axel told Necrozma everything about the arrival of the spacetime gods and Professor Rowan's explanation.
Then he asked, "Do you think you can absorb or suppress this energy?"
["Yes!"], Necrozma forcefully suppressed the chaotic and violent thoughts in its mind. After looking up at the sky for a while, it gave a firm answer.
["As long as it's light formed from energy… I can absorb it. It will also benefit my body."]
Hearing Necrozma's reply, Axel let out a breath, "Then let's give it a try."
Necrozma didn't respond further. The prism-like structures on its body began to operate rapidly.
Its pitch-black body trembled slightly. The prisms that made up its form seemed to be activated by an invisible force, beginning to rotate and refract slowly yet precisely.
The aura of brutality and chaos that had come from its pain seemed to ease slightly upon sensing the endless distorted red light in the sky, replaced by an intense sense of craving.
It didn't roar. It simply raised its prism-like head and aimed it at the blood-red sky.
Under its authority to absorb light, the black prisms around its body suddenly deepened, as if a miniature black hole had appeared at their core.
A terrifying suction force erupted from it.
Buzz!
A low but highly penetrating hum filled the air. The red light in the sky, thick and rolling like blood, seemed to find an outlet, suddenly being pulled into a massive, visible vortex.
The red energy vortex stretched across the sky like a roaring river of energy, surging wildly toward Necrozma's body.
Zzzzz!
The moment the red light touched Necrozma's black prisms, a faint sound like energy being rapidly converted rang out.
The violent energy, which had been full of destructive power and capable of distorting spacetime, met its natural counter and was absorbed into Necrozma's body without the slightest resistance.
As the red light poured in, Necrozma's twisted and pained body began to change at a visible speed.
The rough, broken-glass-like edges of its prisms started to become smooth and sharp, reflecting faint but real inner light instead of total lifeless darkness.
Traces of extremely faint, stardust-like golden particles began to flicker deep within its prism structure.
The aura it emitted also shifted, no longer pure brutality and pain, but gradually mixed with a sense of fullness and satisfaction, like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert finally drinking sweet water.
"It's… it's working!", Protected by Garchomp, Professor Rowan was so excited he nearly jumped.
The energy detection device in his hand emitted frantic beeping, its readings dropping rapidly.
"The intensity of the spacetime distortion energy is decreasing sharply! The spread… the spread has slowed down significantly!"
"If this continues, it will soon start to contract!"
