In the ranking video—
Ash and his group walked out of the Temple of Creation together with Sheena.
"Arceus' awakening released energy that disrupted space and interfered with the operation of the world, which is why Palkia's and Dialga's subspaces overlapped."
"The spatial rift you encountered earlier by the lake happened for the same reason."
"Arceus should be waking up very soon."
Sheena was still explaining things to Ash, Brock, and Dawn, eagerly anticipating Arceus' awakening and hoping to finally see its true form.
Hearing Sheena's explanation in the video, many people across the anime multiverse sneered.
The reason spatial rifts had appeared in the Pokémon world, and the reason Palkia's and Dialga's spaces had overlapped—
Was because of rage.
Even in slumber, even before fully awakening, the fury in Arceus' heart had already boiled to an incomparably terrifying level.
Because of Damos' betrayal and ambush, it had nearly died.
That anger had accumulated for countless years, yet it had not faded in the slightest.
Instead, as time passed, it had grown even more intense.
Otherwise—
How could it have already lost control of its own aura before even fully waking, to the point that the fluctuations of its presence made Palkia's and Dialga's subspaces overlap?
It was just waking up. How could a being like Arceus possibly fail to control its own aura under normal circumstances, to the point of causing spatial turbulence?
With Arceus' level of power, how could it possibly fail to suppress its own presence?
At the divine beast level, they could all conceal their aura so completely that even if they stood right behind you, you might never notice them.
In the Pokémon world—
Sheena, watching the ranking video, had already gone deathly pale.
She was standing right at the entrance of the Temple of Creation.
The temple was far newer than the one shown in the ranking video.
After all, what the ranking video showed was the future—specifically the time after Ash had already begun his journey.
At the current point in time, Ash was only six years old.
"H-How could this be… my ancestor… my ancestor betrayed Arceus? And almost caused Arceus to fall?"
She could hardly believe it.
Her ancestor had actually committed such an unforgivable crime.
Even though she was his descendant, Sheena still felt that what her ancestor Damos had done was nothing short of an outrage against heaven and man.
Roar!!
A growl came from the Temple of Creation.
The temple's divine guardian—Heatran.
Its body was burning with magma as it stared at Sheena, killing intent flashing in its eyes.
So Sheena's bloodline had once betrayed Arceus—
And had even almost killed it!
Faced with the nearby Heatran, every hair on Sheena's body stood on end.
"I already know this is the sin my ancestor committed. As soon as Arceus arrives, I will definitely return the Life Orb to Arceus."
"That was originally its property."
Seeing how sincere she was, the aura surging from Heatran gradually calmed.
That was true.
It was the crime committed by Sheena's ancestor Damos.
As long as Sheena returned the Life Orb to Arceus, it should be enough.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The video continued.
A terrifying rumble interrupted Sheena's explanation.
The entire world was trembling.
Crack—!
Above Michina's skies, space shattered open, revealing an enormous void.
Inside the hollow, violent energy raged with strange, blazing intensity.
Endless streams of terrifying energy swept through the air.
The atmosphere above Michina was filled with destruction and terror.
That horrifying pressure spread across the heavens, causing the sky and earth to lose color.
Then—
A golden figure stepped across worlds.
Its entire body radiated light.
It was like a brilliant sun descending from the heavens.
Golden rays shone down upon the land like streams of sunlight, blanketing all of Michina in a layer of golden sand-like brilliance.
But it was not a golden sun at all.
It was a sacred figure, alpaca-like in shape, with a golden wheel-like structure behind it.
At the moment it appeared—
It became the visual center of the entire world.
The Creator God, Arceus—
Had descended.
"Arceus! It's Arceus! It has awakened—is it here to retrieve the Life Orb?"
Looking at the figure in the sky that was exactly the same as the statue standing before the Temple of Creation, fervor filled Sheena's eyes.
She could feel the power of Michina within her body responding.
The power of Michina inherited by her family existed only because of Arceus' Life Orb.
The Power of Michina itself originated from Arceus' five sources of origin.
Beside her, Ash, Brock, and Dawn were also glowing with excitement, their hearts filled with anticipation.
But in the next second—
The wind stopped.
Time itself seemed to freeze.
A terrifying aura of destruction burst out from Arceus' body.
Dark crimson energy surged like a monstrous tide.
Dark clouds rapidly gathered over Michina's skies, pressing down like a black continent and making it hard to breathe.
The golden aura surrounding Arceus disappeared—
Replacing it was black-red energy running wild.
A scalp-numbing killing intent spread outward.
It brought an icy chill.
In Michina, where spring reigned all year, the temperature began to plummet under that killing intent.
Thin frost quickly spread across the land.
Ash and the others' breath turned white.
Under this terrifying presence, countless Pokémon trembled in fear.
Arceus was engulfed in violent aura, radiating destruction and savagery.
The entire Pokémon world shook.
The heavens dimmed. All things lost their color.
"T-This… what's wrong? What happened to Arceus!?"
Sheena possessed the Power of Michina, allowing her to sense the hearts of Pokémon.
At this moment—
Even without using that power—
She could clearly feel the rage pouring from Arceus.
"Come out and face me, Damos!!"
Arceus' eyes were blood-red.
Dark crimson waves of energy erupted from around its body, sweeping across Michina and uprooting countless trees and houses.
It hovered above the Temple of Creation.
Looking at the temple built in its honor—
Looking at the statue of itself standing at the temple gate—
Arceus' gaze turned even colder.
It was here—
Here that it had been betrayed by Damos.
Here that it had fallen into his trap and nearly died.
"A-Arceus, what happened to you?"
A terrified voice rang out.
It was Sheena, and Ash's group.
"Damos was my ancestor. I already know everything he did."
Sheena's words caused the rage surging around Arceus to falter.
That answer was something it had not expected.
Looking at the human girl before it, whose face somewhat resembled Damos', it fell silent.
[Arceus looked at Sheena]
[Only then did it remember that for divine beasts like them, human lifespans are but an instant]
[During the years it spent sleeping and healing, Damos had already died thousands of years ago]
[When people die, their lights go out; looking at the Temple of Creation before it, weathered by time, Arceus felt only that the world had changed and all things were no longer the same]
[The boiling rage in Arceus' heart calmed somewhat]
[It destroyed the statue of itself standing at the temple gate]
In the scene—
Arceus' eyes flashed.
Its statue at the gate exploded into fragments that scattered across the sky.
"The Life Orb. Hand it over," Arceus said coldly to Sheena.
"R-Right away."
Sheena turned and ran back into the Temple of Creation.
In the Pokémon world—
In the Sinnoh region, Michina—
Watching the scene, Sheena let out a deep sigh of relief, then turned to Heatran beside her, who had been staring at her with hostility.
"See? In the future, I won't hide the Life Orb. I'll return it to Arceus."
In Kanto, Pallet Town—
Professor Oak also let out a long breath.
If the Life Orb was returned, Arceus' anger should calm down.
After all, the one truly responsible—Damos—had already died.
Surely Arceus would not vent its fury upon all of humanity.
Looking at the six-year-old Ash beside him, Professor Oak muttered inwardly—
This time, Ash's role seemed pretty small.
He had only toured the Temple of Creation and met Arceus once.
Unlike the previous ranking videos, where his presence had often overshadowed even the divine beasts being ranked.
Arceus really did have presence.
Even Ash couldn't steal its spotlight.
"I've brought you the Life Orb."
The voice from the video brought everyone's attention back to the screen.
In Sheena's hands was a dazzling orb.
Inside the orb was a lush green glow, with dense, condensed energy swirling within it.
Sacred.
This was the object condensed from five of Arceus' sources of origin—
The Life Orb.
It was also because of its existence that Michina had become so prosperous.
Sheena carried the Life Orb to Arceus and placed it upon a stone.
Arceus looked at the Life Orb and slowly descended.
Just when Professor Oak and the other viewers in the Pokémon world thought the matter was finally about to conclude—
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
Arceus stomped one hoof onto the Life Orb.
Instantly—
The entire Life Orb shattered into countless sparkling fragments.
All viewers across the anime multiverse were stunned.
What was going on?
Arceus had shattered the Life Orb?
No one understood.
Wasn't that made from its own origin Plates?
Hadn't it come to Michina specifically for the Life Orb?
Didn't it need to collect all its Plates to heal its origin injuries?
Everyone's heads were full of question marks.
What exactly was happening?
Some, however, stared at the shattered Life Orb, their eyes flickering as if they had understood something.
In the Dragon Ball world—
On Beerus' planet—
Beerus, who had just awakened and was enjoying his first meal, turned to Whis and asked,
"Whis, do you know what's going on?"
"Doesn't Lord Beerus already know?" Whis replied with a playful smile.
"It shattered from one stomp? A law-origin artifact isn't so easy to destroy."
In the Bleach world—
Hueco Mundo, Las Noches—
Aizen sat upon his throne, his right fist supporting his cheek, while his left hand played with a jade-like orb.
It was the Hogyoku, a gem containing supreme power.
"The Life Orb shattered with one stomp? If that was Sheena's doing, then she really is just like her ancestor."
"Ambitious."
How could a Life Orb formed from laws be so easily destroyed?
Take the Hogyoku for example—
Placed before ordinary Soul Reapers, they could exhaust themselves to death and still fail to damage it in the slightest.
Let alone the Life Orb.
How could it possibly be shattered by one stomp?
In the Pokémon world—
Professor Oak and the others were also full of confusion.
They couldn't understand why Arceus would destroy the Life Orb.
Could it be that only after shattering it would it revert to the original Plates?
That didn't seem right either.
After the Life Orb shattered, there was no strange phenomenon.
It didn't revert to five Plates.
Within an undersea volcano—
Groudon looked at the shattered Life Orb, magma boiling around its body.
That was definitely not the real Life Orb.
A Life Orb could not be destroyed so easily.
Even its own Red Orb could not be easily destroyed.
Humans—
Had once again produced a fake to deceive Arceus!
A terrifying aura rose from Arceus' body, twisting the surrounding matter.
"So it seems that treachery, greed, and deceit are not traits unique to Damos alone, but are shared by all humans."
"This species called humanity should not be allowed to exist upon the Blue Planet I created."
Its voice was as cold as midwinter.
[The Life Orb Sheena brought out was fake, a forgery crafted to imitate the real one]
[Being deceived by humanity again and again made Arceus conclude that the human race should not exist—they deserved to disappear from this world]
[The anger that had calmed slightly after learning of Damos' death exploded once more, even greater than before]
A horrifying aura spread from Arceus' body.
Where the aura passed, everything turned to ash.
No—
Not ash.
It was direct erasure from the material level itself.
Its eyes became blood-red.
Its reason had already been consumed by rage.
Deception. Treachery. Greed. War. Slaughter. The squeezing away of Pokémon habitats.
Such a species deserved to be destroyed.
The existence of humanity sullied the world it had created.
"The Life Orb. Hand over the real one."
Its icy voice seemed to come from the Nine Hells.
"I-I really don't know! In our family, only this one Life Orb has ever been passed down from generation to generation!"
Sheena's eyes were filled with terror and bewilderment.
She truly did not know what was going on.
Whoosh—
In the video—
Arceus stared at Sheena.
Twice deceived by humans, its heart had been completely overwhelmed by fury.
The rage in its soul exploded.
"Then be destroyed!"
Arceus rose into the sky.
Buzz—!
Terrifying energy poured from its body, making it seem like both a god and a demon.
At this moment—
It was no longer the Creator God who had made the world.
It had become a god of destruction.
Terrifying energy condensed behind it.
Then dense clusters of energy spheres floated around its body like countless crimson stars.
Michina, after countless years of development, had long since grown from a small tribe into a prosperous city.
Whoosh!
One of those energy spheres fell straight into a human residential district in Michina.
No terrifying explosion followed.
No earth-shaking roar.
Only calm.
Utter, plain calm.
So calm that it was like an eraser wiping chalk from a blackboard.
Like an ice cube melting into boiling lava.
That human settlement—
Vanished instantly.
Without a sound, it was as if that entire section of space had simply been gouged away.
Only a void remained.
But very soon, space repaired itself.
The Pokémon living in that district were still there.
But—
All the humans were gone.
Without a trace.
As though they had never existed at all.
Creation was tens of thousands of times more difficult than destruction.
If the Creator God Arceus could create a world—
Then for it, destroying one was simplicity itself.
It did not want to destroy the whole world.
It only wanted to erase one species: humanity.
So it was restraining itself, unwilling to endanger the world as a whole.
Across the anime multiverse, countless people stared in utter disbelief.
What kind of power was this?
Holy hell—
That was far too terrifying.
It only targeted humans.
The Pokémon were unharmed, but the humans were simply gone?
What kind of method was that?
It could even distinguish its targets?
In the Dragon Ball world—
Beerus' eyes nearly bulged from his head.
He was horrified.
He couldn't do that.
As a God of Destruction, the authority he was born with was destruction.
Destroying a planet was as easy for him as eating and drinking.
But—
Selective destruction?
That was impossible for him.
For example—
If he saw a life-bearing planet and flicked his finger, the whole world would become cosmic fireworks.
But if he were told to flick his finger and erase only one species on that world while leaving everything else intact—
That sounded utterly absurd.
That was nonsense.
How could a single energy sphere be dropped and wipe out only one species instead of the whole planet?
He didn't even dare imagine such a thing.
"Whis… h-how did Arceus do that?" Beerus asked blankly.
"I… I don't know either, Lord Beerus," Whis said, equally stunned.
He was an angel, but he was also Beerus' teacher and guide as a God of Destruction.
High above the sky, light shone brilliantly.
Countless energy spheres condensed around Arceus' body.
Terrifying power surged through it.
Each sphere looked plain and unremarkable, almost as if it had no destructive force at all.
And yet—
The moment one fell, all the humans in that entire region were erased.
At that instant, the viewers had already witnessed its terror.
Now endless black-red spheres continued forming around Arceus.
It was going to exterminate humanity.
As for the real Life Orb—
It could search for it slowly after humanity had been erased.
As long as it still existed somewhere in this world, it would be found eventually.
[This is Judgment Rubble]
[Arceus' exclusive move]
At last, everyone learned the name of this move.
Judgment Rubble.
The Creator God's exclusive technique.
It truly lived up to its name—
Judging humanity, causing humans to vanish upon impact while harming none of the rest of creation.
It judged only humanity.
"We… we have to stop Arceus, or all of Michina is finished," Sheena muttered in a daze, then shuddered violently and snapped back to herself.
She rushed forward and ran to the temple platform.
Clasping her hands tightly, she called out:
"With my power, I offer my plea here!"
She wanted to use the Power of Michina to calm Arceus and communicate with it properly.
She truly did not know where the real Life Orb was.
In the state of the Power of Michina, she tried to approach Arceus' heart.
It was too terrifying.
Arceus' inner world at that moment was like that of a demonic god.
Boom!
Its furious aura blasted her away.
"It's useless… Arceus' heart is already piled high with rage."
Her face turned deathly pale.
"It's over. My ancestor Damos has become the greatest culprit behind humanity's destruction."
In the heavens, the Judgment Rubble gathered around Arceus drifted outward like a beautiful, fantastical meteor shower.
They scattered in every direction across the Pokémon world.
It was going to wipe out all humans on Earth.
In the Pokémon world—
All the trainers' faces were white with fear.
It was over.
The future world would survive—
But humanity would be gone.
In their hearts, their hatred for Damos reached a peak.
An eternal sinner.
Some of them practically wanted to dig up his grave and overturn it.
And just as the countless Judgment Rubble were about to fall all across the world—
A low roar echoed throughout the entire planet.
Then a strange fluctuation spread over the world.
It was the power of the world itself…
The Judgment Rubble that had already scattered across the globe began to reverse in an eerie manner.
It was like someone had pressed the rewind button on a videotape.
All the Judgment Rubble returned to Arceus' side.
"T-This… is this the power of time?!"
Everyone was stunned.
Only the power of time could create such an effect.
Reversing time.
And among the beings they knew, only Dialga possessed the power of time.
As expected—
In the scene—
"Roar~!"
A roar like a zither shook the heavens.
Ripples of space appeared above the Creator God's head.
A figure emerged—
The God of Time, Dialga.
Immediately after it—
The figure of the God of Space, Palkia, appeared as well.
But that was not all—
The surface of the Lake of Life rippled like a mirror, and a pitch-black space opened there.
From within emerged the king of the Reverse World—
Giratina.
Professor Oak's expression turned even more bitter.
The three divine beasts created by Arceus had come as well.
Could they help Arceus?
Everyone was stunned.
"G-Grandpa, look! They attacked Arceus!"
Gary's voice rang out.
Professor Oak's mouth fell slightly open as he hurriedly looked at the screen.
Sure enough—
After emerging, they first nodded toward Ash.
Then they floated upward, surrounding Arceus from three directions.
Professor Oak was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Three gods created by Arceus were attacking Arceus??
And why in the world were they protecting Ash and the others behind them?
The three divine beasts' rear position was exactly where Ash's group stood.
Inside the undersea volcano, magma boiled.
Arceus had created three traitors??
Even Groudon was bewildered.
Shouldn't they have helped wipe out humanity instead?
