"White Kyurem! I spent an immense amount of blood and sweat to awaken you from your frozen slumber!"
"I am your Trainer! Why are you attacking me?!"
Ghetsis could not believe his eyes. He tried to scramble away to evade the oncoming wall of cryogenic air, but with his left ankle severely fractured, his legs gave out and he crashed heavily to the dirt. Just as he struggled to push himself up, the sub-zero blast hit him.
In a fraction of a second, Ghetsis was flash-frozen into a solid block of ice. His frozen eyes were wide with absolute horror, and his hands remained rigidly extended, clawing at the empty air as if trying to grasp a lifeline.
"To think a notorious mastermind like Ghetsis would meet such a pathetic, quiet end," Feng Che remarked coldly.
"Zekrom, it's all up to you now!"
Fortunately, Zekrom had absorbed a massive reservoir of electricity during its long slumber. Relying on these raw electrical currents, it could barely hold its ground against White Kyurem.
"Zekrom, use Bolt Strike!"
Infinite currents of raw electricity erupted from Zekrom's chassis, transforming into colossal thunder dragons that tore straight into the sky. Golden lightning snakes whipped violently across the pitch-black clouds before cascading downward, their overwhelming voltage tearing right through White Kyurem's massive frame.
The stray currents of the Bolt Strike even slammed directly into the main peaks of the surrounding mountains.
Rumble! Rumble!
The massive layers of ice and snow covering the mountain peaks melted under the sheer voltage, collapsing into an apocalyptic avalanche. The roaring white wall raced down the slopes, its direct trajectory tracking straight toward Opelucid City.
"This is bad... If that avalanche hits the city, the entire Dragon Clan will be wiped off the map!"
"Zekrom, stop it! Use Bolt Strike again!"
Just as Zekrom pooled its electricity to intercept the crisis, a brilliant flash of white light erupted from the absolute summit of the main peak.
Feng Che focused his psychic senses to look through the glare, and his heart sank. It was another set of DNA Splicers.
White Kyurem let out a mocking sneer, telekinetically calling the ancient relic to its core. Feng Che immediately felt the great dragon beneath him shudder violently as Zekrom was forcibly compressed into a sphere of pitch-black energy.
"Complete Kyurem has descended..." Feng Che breathed in sheer awe.
Complete Kyurem stood tall on its slender hind legs. Its left crest was replaced by a flowing shroud of downy white plumage identical to Reshiram's, while its right crest crackled with the heavy, living electricity of Zekrom, its pale eyes now possessing sharp, distinct pupils. Its left forelimb took the shape of Reshiram's downy wing-blade, while its right forelimb manifested as the clawed, armored arm of Zekrom.
Its original frozen wings had retracted completely into its shoulders, replaced by a thick mane of white fur along its neck and spine. The ice formations along its tail had vanished entirely, remolded into a seamless, reinforced shell that housed both the hyper-heated combustion engine of Reshiram and the high-voltage electrical turbine of Zekrom.
For the first time since antiquity, the fragmented Tao Trio had been forcefully reunited into a single entity, restoring the primordial Complete Kyurem.
This is a deity whose raw parameters are in the exact same tier as Arceus... The original dragon that existed at the very dawn of chaos.
I wonder if Shadow Lugia and Primal Dialga can bring a monster of this caliber down.
An infinite deluge of freezing frost, incandescent fire, and golden lightning expanded aggressively from the dragon's position. The sky turned to absolute pitch-black as cataclysmic lightning columns hammered against the earth with deafening thunderclaps, as if the world itself were groaning in submission to congratulate the true master of Unova—Complete Kyurem.
"Come forth—Primal Dialga, Shadow Lugia, and Mewtwo!"
The space in front of Feng Che rippled like water, and his chosen partners surged out from the dimensional rift.
"Mewtwo, deploy a psychic barrier to lock down this entire airspace! Scramble all satellite signals and communication frequencies. Do not allow anyone to detect their presence."
Feng Che was fully prepared to play the part of a hidden wolf in sheep's clothing.
Meanwhile, within the Dragon Clan's territory, the clan members watched in absolute horror as a colossal wall of ice and snow thundered down from the mountains. If this millennium-old avalanche collided with their ancestral grounds, the entirety of the Dragon's Den would be reduced to rubble.
"Everyone, prepare the Dragon Flute! Something catastrophic must have happened in the mountains," Drayden commanded with absolute calm.
"Feng Lu, Iris—the two of you possess the most pure, untainted Dragon Force within the clan. I will lead you to the Dragon God Shrine immediately. We must use the Dragon Flute to summon every wild Dragon-type Pokémon within the den to help us halt this avalanche."
Drayden fixed his sharp gaze on Iris and Feng Lu. "I shall lead the vanguard to slow the initial momentum of the slide!"
After rushing Iris and Feng Lu to the absolute center of the shrine, Drayden retrieved the ancient Dragon Flute from the pedestal dedicated to the Twin Dragons.
"This is our most sacred ancestral treasure—the Dragon Flute. Channel your Dragon Force and play it together. I know the two of you can pull this off."
With those final words, Drayden deployed his Noivern and launched himself toward the frontline.
"Uncle Feng Lu, let's put our full effort into this! Let's combine our Dragon Force to sound the flute!"
Iris clearly understood the operational mechanics of the ritual, but her individual capacity fell short. She required Feng Lu's assistance to successfully sound the ancient artifact.
The moment Mewtwo cleared the boundary of the Garden of Life, it unleashed its maximum psychic power, constructing an impenetrable psychic barrier that completely isolated the zone. From the outside world, no global reconnaissance satellite could detect a single shred of information regarding the cataclysm occurring within the perimeter.
"Primal Dialga, use Roar of Time!"
"Shadow Lugia, use Aeroblast!"
"Mewtwo, maintain the integrity of the psychic barrier at all costs!"
Feng Che handed down a succession of commands. He remained entirely unaware that deep within his Garden of Life, Darkrai's Pokémon Egg was aggressively absorbing the dark, volatile miasma bleeding out from the clashing Tao Trio. Nurtured by the divine essence, the shell began to crack, a web of fractures spreading across its surface with a sharp clack.
Complete Kyurem unleashed a massive wave of absolute-zero ice fire. Jagged ice spires violently erupted from the bedrock, while pillars of incandescent flame and pitch-black electricity warred for dominance across the field.
Primal Dialga unhinged its jaws, expelling a massive beam of distorted, pitch-black chronal energy. The exact instant the white fire and dark lightning collided with the beam, they vanished entirely into nothingness.
Time was actively flowing backward. Not only was time fracturing within the direct path of the Roar of Time, but the chronological flow throughout the entire psychic barrier began to fall into absolute chaos.
Shadow Lugia expelled a massive vortex of corrupt, dark air currents from the heavens. The moment the Aeroblast slammed into Complete Kyurem's flames, a catastrophic explosion rocked the basin. Caught squarely within the concussive radius of the blast, Complete Kyurem roared in blinding fury.
[Zekrom: I will never permit you to continue this senseless destruction!][Reshiram: I refuse to allow my essence to be permanently bound to yours!][Kyurem: This power is mine alone! I am the one true Dragon God of Unova!]
The conflicting thoughts of the Tao Trio echoed clearly within Feng Che's mind.
Complete Kyurem houses the distinct, conscious wills of all three dragons concurrent with its fusion. Because their minds are completely misaligned, they are actively dragging each other down, Feng Che realized.
It was identical to the anatomical dilemma faced by a Dodrio; because its three heads possessed individual consciousness, reaching a unified consensus was an exceptional rarity.
What a pity. Unless Kyurem's consciousness completely dominates the other two, this is the absolute limit of Complete Kyurem's combat parameters. Feng Che shook his head.
Back when it existed as White Kyurem, Kyurem's will had been powerful enough to firmly suppress Reshiram's consciousness. But because it had grown overconfident and swallowed Zekrom as well, Zekrom's entry had successfully awakened Reshiram's dormant mind.
With three divine wills locked in an eternal internal conflict, they were completely incapable of manifesting the true, unified combat potential of Complete Kyurem.
