Looking at Arceus on the screen—

that being who was both godlike and demonic—

everyone's eyes widened.

Damos??

According to what Sheena had said, hadn't Damos saved Arceus?

Then why was Arceus now radiating such terrifying killing intent?

That killing intent had forced countless viewers out of immersive viewing mode.

Even after being kicked out, their bodies were soaked through with cold sweat.

Like broken bellows, they gasped for air, their chests heaving violently.

Other than a very small handful of people…

no one dared return to immersive viewing mode.

They could only continue watching through the normal video page.

Everyone looked at one another, wanting to know why Arceus was so furious.

On the screen—

the image changed.

In an instant, it shifted to a void-like space.

This was outside the main world.

By all rights, outside the main world there should have been the vast universe of stars.

And yet, outside the main world in the current scene—

there was only emptiness.

It was like the silent chaos from before the birth of the universe.

This was because the view was from the level of space itself, not from the level of matter.

It could be understood as a gigantic subspace.

In the sight of the viewers across the anime multiverse, a huge bubble appeared.

Inside the bubble, one could vaguely see blue scenery.

This was the Pokémon world's main world—

the world where humans and Pokémon lived.

On either side of that huge bubble were two smaller bubbles attached to it.

Those two smaller bubbles were respectively:

Palkia's spatial subspace,

and Dialga's temporal subspace.

On the reverse side of the great bubble, in dark shadow, there was another black bubble.

This was Giratina's Reverse World.

Time, space, and the Reverse World of dark matter—

these three spaces formed the foundation of the main world and upheld the stability of its framework.

Then the camera suddenly pulled back.

It was as though the scene had been shrunk hundreds of millions of times over, until the bubble of the main world could no longer even be seen clearly.

Before everyone's eyes, another bubble appeared.

This bubble was so vast that the bubble representing the Pokémon world was entirely enclosed within it.

What was going on!?

Everyone stared with wide eyes.

The Pokémon world was only one part within this enormous bubble?

Completely encompassed by it?

An endless nesting doll!?

Dragon Ball World…

Universe 7 — Supreme Kai Planet

The East Supreme Kai knew what that boundlessly large bubble was.

They were not unfamiliar with it.

This was…

a universe bubble.

Every universe was wrapped inside a spatial bubble.

That bubble was the barrier of the universe.

For example, in their own world, there had originally been eighteen universes.

Each one was wrapped in its own bubble. Though their barriers touched, they did not connect.

Dong, dong, dong~!

At this moment, within the spatial bubble that represented the entire universe—

a pillar of crimson energy rose from the center, blazing with endless killing intent and making the whole universe bubble tremble violently.

The camera zoomed closer.

At the center, the scene was utterly terrifying. Endless dark-red energy erupted and spread out in all directions, making the entire universe bubble shake.

At the core of that dark-red energy—

stood Arceus.

The camera returned once more to Arceus itself.

Only then did everyone realize—

Arceus itself was also inside a bubble.

This bubble was the subspace it had created while healing.

[The aura released by Arceus upon awakening shook the entire universe.]

[Even before fully awakening, its aura had already been stirring uncontrollably. Under its influence, the temporal and spatial subspaces—which should never have met—had instead collided in a bizarre overlap.]

Hearing that narration—

Palkia and Dialga in their subspaces widened their eyes.

Holy shit!!

The mystery was finally solved.

At last, they understood why, in the future, their two spaces would overlap so strangely.

So the source of everything had been Arceus all along.

They were speechless, their faces full of resentment.

Through the ranking video, they already knew how miserably they would be beaten by Giratina in the future.

It was all Arceus's fault that they fought in the first place.

Because they fought, they damaged the world's stability.

That was what enraged Giratina and got them dragged into the Reverse World and beaten senseless.

Arceus took one step forward.

Its own subspace instantly shattered into fragments.

The immense energy currents born from the collapse of space raged across the universe.

Arceus almost squeezed these words out from between its teeth.

And with that single sentence, the entire universe bubble changed.

Violent fury filled all of cosmic space, and endless lightning arose as though the universe itself was about to be destroyed.

A single thought—

was enough to drive the whole universe into fury.

Dragon Ball World…

The East Supreme Kai stared in confusion.

Why would Arceus's anger affect the entire universe?

Hadn't it only created a world?

But in the very next second—

he froze.

[Arceus existed before the universe itself was born.]

[Its existence is older than the universe.]

[Before there was even such a concept as a universe, it was a giant egg.]

[The egg split apart and gave birth to it.]

[Only after it was born did the universe come into existence.]

The East Supreme Kai and the God of Destruction Beerus were both stunned.

It had been born before the universe??

No—

judging from what the narration implied, it seemed that the Pokémon world's universe only existed because Arceus had been born.

If Arceus had never been born, the universe would never have existed.

Hiss!!

Didn't that mean Arceus had effectively given birth to the universe!?

Holy shit.

The East Supreme Kai and Beerus were dumbfounded.

Both of them had been born from Universe 7 and endowed with divine offices, becoming the God of Creation and the God of Destruction.

Even the supreme Zeno had been born from the combined existence of eighteen universes.

He stood above them all and therefore possessed the power to destroy a universe in an instant.

Originally there had been eighteen universes in the Dragon Ball world.

But because Zeno had been displeased, he erased six of them, leaving only twelve.

And yet—

even with how incredible Zeno was, he still wasn't a being that created universes.

He too had been born from them.

But Arceus—

was actually an existence that had opened up a universe.

In terms of status and rank,

that put it above Zeno!!!

Beerus and the others were genuinely stunned.

At first, they had thought Arceus was merely the creator of the Pokémon world.

Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that the universe itself only came into being because of its existence.

"Damn it, damn it! Creating a universe!? Why do these insects have abilities like that!? If I had such power, I'd crush Beerus in an instant!" In the cosmos, Frieza, after his shock, jumped up and down with jealousy.

TOP 1 Arceus was powerful—

but not so absurdly powerful that it was completely incomprehensible.

With his third transformation, he could still slaughter it.

So how could such an insect-like being possess this kind of ability!?

On the screen…

Arceus took another step.

It was as though it folded space itself, disappearing instantly.

In the next moment, it was already outside the Pokémon main world.

Its eyes were filled with cold killing intent, ancient and unchanging.

That alone was enough to show the fury in its heart.

Golden light blazed from its body, and the violently spreading aura that had shaken the universe retracted back into it.

The trembling cosmic space gradually calmed down.

Yet that savage aura still wrapped around its body.

Looking at the beautiful world before it—the world it had created—

ripples like water spread before Arceus.

With a single step, it entered the main world.

Throughout the universe—

only Arceus's lingering voice remained.

Its words were filled with an icy coldness, as though each one had been forcibly ground out from between clenched teeth:

"Damos… humans… you have betrayed my trust."

"Humanity is not fit to live in the world I created."

"Let me reclaim the debt from thousands of years ago."

"You nearly caused my destruction."

Hearing those words—

the pupils of countless viewers across the multiverse trembled violently.

Nearly caused its destruction?

No one was a fool.

From Arceus's earlier words, everyone already knew it was Damos who had enraged it.

But never, ever had they imagined—

that Arceus had nearly perished!!!

How was that possible?

What ability could Damos possibly have?

A mere human—

how could he possess the means to kill Arceus, the Creator God!?

After watching the entire ranking video series, the audiences of the multiverse had already gained a rough understanding of the Pokémon world.

Humans in the Pokémon world had no supernatural powers.

They were just ordinary people.

So how could they possibly have the ability to kill Arceus!?

Every audience member across the multiverse felt a profound absurdity rise within them.

It was like an ant—

no, an ant that had even lost its legs—

killing an orca.

Wasn't that pure fantasy?

The ones who reacted the most intensely, however, were naturally the people of the Pokémon world.

Every Trainer was frozen in place, like stone.

Humans killed Arceus??

How could that be possible?

They understood human strength better than anyone.

How could humanity possibly kill Arceus?

Arceus was the Creator God!

It stood above all divine beasts!

Even the first-tier divine beasts had been created by it!

With what exactly were humans supposed to kill it?

A human being couldn't even beat a Pokémon that had just hatched from its egg.

And yet—

since Arceus itself had said it, then it had to be true.

Humans really had almost killed Arceus.

Could it be…

that humans possessed some hidden power they had never known about?

Professor Oak and the others were bewildered.

The various divine beasts watching the video were equally stunned.

The weak humans they had always looked down on—

had nearly killed Arceus??

It sounded utterly ridiculous.

At that moment—

the image on the screen shifted again.

They shook their heads, clearing away all the wild thoughts in their minds.

Speculating was useless.

If they kept watching, the truth of what had happened to Arceus would be revealed soon enough.

The scene on the screen dimmed—

then half a second later lit up once more.

The image unfolded.

[At the beginning of the universe, there was nothing. The universe itself had not yet formed.]

[At that singular point existed a giant egg.]

On the screen—

an egg appeared.

Its shell was covered in countless mysterious patterns, and all kinds of profound auras lingered around it.

[The universe was silent and empty, like a one-dimensional space with only a single point.]

[Time was beyond counting. No one knew how long passed.]

[Then the egg cracked open, giving birth to Arceus—and with that, the universe exploded into existence.]

Crack, crack~!

The egg split open.

A creature hatched from it.

It was Arceus.

The instant the egg cracked—

it was like a cosmic Big Bang.

The universe was born.

The scene shifted rapidly.

Very soon, it reached the point where Arceus was creating the world.

[This was Arceus's 101st attempt at creating a world, and it succeeded.]

[Land, sea, sky, day, night, light, order… one divine beast after another was born, and the world became stable.]

[But the world still lacked life—not life born from laws, but life born through the world's own self-evolution.]

[The world continued to develop and had already begun孕育 life.]

[But for life to be born, it first had to endure the test of the universe's will.]

Rumble, rumble, rumble~!

On the screen, one miniature planet after another smashed toward the Pokémon world.

Arceus radiated golden light.

Its seventeen Origin Plates shone brilliantly as it stood above the world, blocking those miniature planets.

One after another, the planets were smashed to pieces.

As the number of planets increased, Arceus could only shatter them, no longer reducing them completely to dust.

The broken fragments fell into the Pokémon world.

And just at that moment, a small world merged into the main world and appeared above it.

A creature filled with endless light emerged.

Necrozma.

Necrozma was eliminating the fragments that slipped through.

Everyone suddenly understood.

Just as they had thought, it really had been Arceus blocking the miniature planets.

That scene had already appeared in Necrozma's ranking video.

The only difference was that back then it had been shown from Necrozma's perspective, where it looked like the destruction of meteors.

Now, from Arceus's perspective, what it was destroying were miniature planets.

The latter was many times more shocking.

[Arceus successfully blocked all the miniature planets crashing toward the world.]

[However, because its power had weakened from creating the world and had not yet fully recovered to its peak, its body suffered heavy injuries.]

[It left the Pokémon world and opened a subspace of its own, absorbing the power of the cosmos to heal itself.]

[Necrozma, too, fell into slumber after blocking the meteor fragments born from the shattered planets, losing its light.]

The crisis of the world was resolved.

The price was that Arceus had been gravely wounded.

Necrozma had fallen unconscious, sleeping within the Ultra World and losing its radiance.

[The crisis passed, and the world could now give birth to life.]

[Mew was conceived, and from then on, all Pokémon would contain a part of its genes.]

[Mew was the template of all Pokémon.]

The Pokémon world began to produce life.

The oldest Water-type Pokémon—

Kabuto, Omanyte, and the like—

were born.

Time flowed rapidly onward.

Soon, life became more diverse.

Different terrains gave birth to different Pokémon.

A long time later, the land of the Pokémon world had become bustling and lively.

One enormous Pokémon after another appeared across the earth.

The world fell into chaos, as the various Pokémon started waging war.

Smoke of battle filled the world, and the world's development once more came to a standstill.

It even began to show signs of regression.

Time leapt forward again.

In order for the world to develop better, the world evolved once more.

All Pokémon were stripped of their gigantic size by the rules of the world.

That stripped power transformed into Eternatus.

The world entered another explosive age of vigorous development.

Humanity stepped onto the stage of history.

Pokémon lost their immense size and were no longer born directly in their final forms.

Humans began to command Pokémon in battle.

Humanity entered history.

Once humans gained power, ambition began to grow within them.

Tribes were founded one after another, and each tribe used Pokémon in warfare.

The land was once again engulfed in flames of war.

[But humanity did not know that while they fought, the world had once again entered a crisis close to destruction.]

[A meteor larger than the miniature planets was hurtling toward the Pokémon world.]

[This was a meteor that had accidentally entered the Pokémon world.]

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

A deafening sound shook the scene.

A gigantic meteor descended into the Pokémon world.

If it struck the surface, it could destroy the entire Pokémon world.

[Necrozma had not yet awakened.]

[Although Rayquaza could devour meteors, faced with a meteor as large as a planet, it could only tremble in fear.]

[At the critical moment, the still-healing Arceus stepped forward.]

On the screen…

Arceus appeared once more.

Its injuries had not yet healed.

Golden light blazed over its entire body, and its seventeen Plates revolved around it.

Then it slammed directly into that meteor.

In an instant, endless white light burst forth.

Terrifying flames spread like a comet crashing into Earth.

The gigantic meteor shattered continuously, and the point of collision was ground into dust.

The image flashed—

Arceus's body came crashing heavily onto the land of the Pokémon world.

Of its seventeen Plates, only ten remained scattered around it.

The others had been flung all across the world.

[Heavily wounded, Arceus's effort to block the meteor pushed it into an even worse condition. Its injuries became even more troublesome than before.]

[It fell unconscious.]

[And it was at that moment that a human named Damos, fleeing from war, arrived at the place where Arceus had fallen.]

[Damos discovered Arceus, and he saw that some of the Plates were shining and resonating with it.]

[He brought the Plates to Arceus, and when they touched it, they merged back into its body. Arceus awakened.]

[Arceus learned that Damos was searching for a paradise beyond the reach of war.]

[Looking around at the land that had become barren because of its own fall, it declared that this place would become that paradise.]

[It condensed five of its Origin Plates into the Jewel of Life.]

[Though its remaining power was little, even that fragment still contained terrifying force.]

[Arceus and Damos made an agreement: once Arceus had recovered some of its power, it would return to reclaim the Jewel of Life.]

[Arceus then dragged its heavily wounded body away from the Pokémon world to continue healing. It had been forcing itself to stay standing, and even its every movement was difficult.]

On the screen…

Arceus left the Pokémon world.

It no longer even had the strength to search for the rest of its Plates scattered across the world.

It returned to its own subspace and collapsed heavily onto the ground.

It had been forcing itself to endure until it reached its own space—

and there it fainted again.

A faint glow shimmered over its body as it absorbed power from the universe.

Only within its own subspace could it more effectively absorb cosmic power to repair itself.

[And Damos used the Jewel of Life to create a fertile land.]

[That land came to be known as——Michina.]

The narration continued in its calm, magnetic tone.

The events between Arceus and Damos also appeared on screen.

And indeed, everything matched what Sheena had said.

It really was her ancestor Damos who had saved Arceus.

The people of the anime multiverse still couldn't understand.

Everything seemed so good.

So why was Arceus filled with killing intent toward Damos?

What exactly happened after that!?

[At that time, the region where Damos lived was called the Hisui region.]

Pokémon World

Professor Oak's eyes sharpened.

Especially Cynthia and the other archaeologists.

The Hisui region!?

The Sinnoh region, in the ancient era before the concept of the League existed, had indeed once been called——Hisui.

Only after the Pokémon League came into existence was it renamed Sinnoh.

If that was the case, then Michina was located in Sinnoh?!

Arceus really had appeared in Sinnoh before!
