In the video—
The three divine beasts that maintained the framework of the world—
Time, Space, and Dark Matter (the Reverse World)—
The three legendary beings that embodied the three most fundamental law-attributes forming the world itself, emerged from the skies above Michina.
At first, viewers across the multiverse thought they had come to help Arceus.
After all, the three of them were beings personally created by Arceus.
But who could have imagined—
These three were staring at Arceus and closing in on it in an encircling formation, suppressing the aura spreading from its body.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The hell?
They weren't here to help wipe out humanity—
They were here to stop Arceus.
"Arceus created them. That makes it their father. And yet they actually stand against their own father. Fortunately, there are no such people among the many sons on my ship," Whitebeard said coldly aboard the Moby Dick in the world of One Piece.
"Heh. Betrayed yet again? And this time by those closest to it." In the Bleach world, upon the throne of Las Noches, Aizen shook his head. "Hollows are still better. They do not betray. And no one beside me would ever betray me either."
In the Pokémon world—
Within subspace and the Reverse World—
Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina were all dumbfounded as well.
What the hell?!
What was going on?
Why would their future selves stop Arceus?
What did humanity's destruction have to do with them?
They truly couldn't understand it.
The world had been created by Arceus.
All three of them had been created by Arceus.
Not to mention merely erasing humanity—
Even if Arceus wanted to destroy the entire world, so what?
To be honest, after watching the entire TOP ranking so far, even first-tier divine beasts like Palkia had developed some disgust toward humanity.
Humans had deceived Arceus again and again, betraying its trust.
Palkia and the others had also grown disgusted with humanity.
Looking across the whole history of human development, it was true that humans had constantly seized the living space of Pokémon.
Treacherous, cunning, endlessly building cities and towering structures, forcing countless Pokémon to leave their homes.
The only human they had any favorable impression of—
Was Ash.
Again and again in the ranking videos, he had saved the world.
For Hoopa, for Pikachu, he had risked even his life.
They shook their heads.
What exactly was going on?
Only the future knew.
This was a matter of the future.
They focused once more on the screen, wanting to know the truth.
[When Arceus was about to destroy all humans in the Pokémon world]
[Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina appeared]
[They wanted to stop Arceus]
"Roar! Roar!!"
The three divine beasts growled at Arceus repeatedly.
[Leon]: Meowth, hurry up and translate!
[Meowth]: Palkia says: Arceus, calm down. Things are not what you think. Damos did not betray you.
Hearing Meowth's translation, all the trainers of the Pokémon world were shocked.
Damos didn't betray Arceus?
How could that be?
Just a moment ago, in Arceus' own memory—
Everyone had clearly seen it.
When Arceus went to Michina to retrieve the Life Orb, Damos had betrayed it.
He had already prepared all sorts of methods capable of harming Arceus.
Arceus' already shattered origin had nearly been completely crushed.
It had fallen into a long slumber.
It had almost caused Arceus' death.
All of that had just been shown in Arceus' memories.
Could memories be fake too?
At Michina, before the Temple of Creation, Sheena was also stunned.
Her ancestor Damos hadn't betrayed Arceus?
What was going on?
The ranking video had clearly shown her ancestor Damos trying to kill Arceus and seize the Life Orb for himself.
A trace of hope rose in her eyes.
Could it be—
That there was more to the story?
Within subspace—
Dialga, the ruler of time, also frowned in confusion when it heard that its future self had said Damos had not betrayed Arceus.
Then it suddenly seemed to remember something.
It let out a low growl, and a profound aura spread from its body.
Before it, a radiant river appeared.
Each splash of water seemed to carry the rise and fall of eras, the cycle of seasons, and the turning of reincarnation.
This was the authority of time—
The River of Time.
The River of Time flashed and vanished.
Dialga's eyes went blank, empty of focus—
Yet within its pupils, scenes were flowing.
A moment later—
It returned to itself and finally understood everything.
So that was it.
Indeed, it was not Damos who had betrayed Arceus.
As the creator of the world, Arceus itself could also reverse time.
But it had not done so.
Dialga knew the reasons.
First—
Arceus had personally witnessed Damos' betrayal.
It had seen it with its own eyes.
How could something seen with one's own eyes be false?
What it saw itself seemed like ironclad truth.
Second—
Its rage had clouded its mind, and it had not thought any further.
Looking at the way Arceus had awakened was enough to tell.
It had long since been blinded by rage and hatred.
Dialga looked back toward the screen.
It wanted to know how its future self would make Arceus regain its senses.
[Seeing that the three divine beasts it had personally created—those who controlled time, space, and antimatter—had actually turned against it]
[Arceus' rage completely lost control]
"So even you three… have betrayed me as well?"
Arceus stood above the nine heavens.
Its icy words caused goose-feather snow to begin drifting across springlike Michina.
Crackle, crackle, crackle—!
All kinds of energy surged from Arceus' body, colliding against one another.
Storms of power were constantly rising, and the different energies fused together into dark, spreading force.
Crack, crack, crack—!
An even more terrifying aura continuously erupted from Arceus.
In an instant—
The sky shattered apart.
The entire dome of heaven disappeared, revealing endless chaos behind it.
[Faced with the betrayal of the three divine beasts]
[Arceus no longer merely wants to exterminate humanity]
[It wants to destroy the world and create it anew]
[This world… has failed]
[In Arceus' eyes, it is an even greater failure than the incomplete worlds it created in its previous 101 attempts]
In the Dragon Ball world—
The Supreme Kai let out a deep sigh.
To be honest, he understood Arceus' feelings all too well.
It was the feeling of utter despair.
It was as if a mother had exhausted her whole life raising a child—
Only for that child, once grown, to try to kill her.
Had he not felt the same?
Universe Seven had been created by him.
All life there existed because of him.
Yet what did that matter?
Majin Buu had still devoured four Supreme Kais.
Still—
There seemed to be some hidden truth behind Damos' so-called betrayal of Arceus.
And Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina did not seem to be attacking Arceus—
They seemed to be trying to calm it down.
In the scene—
The three divine beasts had never expected that the very act of stopping Arceus would only make it even more enraged, making it think that they had also betrayed it.
Faced with Arceus' fury, the three divine beasts roared repeatedly, as if trying to explain something.
But Arceus could no longer hear any of it.
It had already made up its mind to destroy the world.
Its aura continued spreading.
Threads of dark red纹理 interwove and spread throughout Michina, shaking the entire area.
Earlier, it had only wanted to destroy humanity, and had restrained itself.
Now that it intended to destroy the world itself, there was no need to restrain itself any longer.
Six Plates appeared around it, trembling.
Michina began visibly disappearing.
Starting from the edges, it was erased bit by bit, and the erasure spread outward continuously.
The eyes of the three divine beasts sharpened.
Their auras surged like collapsing dams.
[They temporarily separated Michina from the main world and dragged it into the void]
[Seeing the enraged Arceus, they could only choose to attack in order to restore its calm]
They themselves were the three most basic laws required to construct the world.
Their auras fused together high in the sky.
They condensed into a planet—
And hurled it toward Arceus.
Boom!!!
Arceus' gaze sharpened.
It met the attack head-on and shattered the planet into pieces.
[The battle begins]
[However, Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are only defending passively]
[They do not actively attack Arceus]
[They only want Arceus to awaken from its rage]
Terrifying fire from explosions reflected in the eyes of viewers across the multiverse.
Horrific energy raged without stop.
The aftershocks of the blasts were enough to destroy heaven and earth.
Terrifying beyond words.
[The three divine beasts kept blocking Arceus' attacks while roaring, trying to make Arceus calm down]
[They wanted Arceus to vent its fury and then regain its reason]
[But Arceus seemed to grow angrier the more it fought]
The three divine beasts did not strike proactively.
They only defended.
Even so—
The result left everyone's eyeballs practically falling out—
They were getting utterly beaten down.
Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina were being completely overwhelmed.
What the hell—
This was way too insane.
Arceus was still heavily injured right now!
And in this heavily wounded state, it was still overwhelming all three divine beasts.
If it fought in perfect condition—
How terrifying would that be?
At the same time—
Viewers across the anime multiverse were also horrified, now fully understanding how terrifying those meteors that had fallen into the Pokémon world must have been.
How terrifying did they have to be—
To smash Arceus into such a heavily wounded state?
Within subspace—
Palkia and the others watched themselves in the video getting slammed down to the ground again and again, only to rise again and charge back into the sky, only to be smashed back down once more.
They could barely bear to watch.
Too miserable.
Arceus was too strong.
There was simply no way to fight back.
Seeing the three divine beasts getting beaten down—
The trainers of the Pokémon world were filled with fear.
Could it be…
Could the world really be destroyed?
[Bug Catcher]: Ahhhh! Is there no one this time who can save the world?!
[Lance]: It's over. Arceus… could it really be that in the future Arceus destroyed the world and then rebuilt an entirely new one?
[Leon]: Damn it, what exactly happened?! Why say Damos did not betray it?!
[Cynthia]: Quick, look!
Cynthia's sudden cry pulled everyone's attention back to the screen.
Boom!
In the video—
Dialga was smashed heavily onto the steps of the Temple of Creation.
A giant crater was blasted open.
Right after that, Giratina and Palkia were sent flying as well.
Whoosh!!
Arceus descended from above, stepping down hard upon Dialga's body and pinning it firmly in place.
Buzz—
Energy began condensing on Arceus' body.
A sphere of energy rapidly took shape before it.
It was aimed directly at Dialga beneath its feet.
And just at that moment—
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!!"
Crackle—!
A thick bolt of lightning struck Arceus' body.
In an instant—
The energy sphere forming in front of Arceus collapsed.
Even the surface of Arceus' body crackled with arcs of electricity.
It had fallen into a paralyzed state.
"Holy shit??"
"It's you again, Pikachu?! Damn you!!"
"Sugoi! Sugoi!!"
This scene sent the entire anime multiverse into an uproar.
Pikachu had once again, once again, and yet again broken through the defenses of a divine beast.
And not just any divine beast—
But Arceus, the Creator God itself.
Pikachu had broken Arceus' defense.
The most shocked were the people of the Pokémon world.
To be precise—
At that moment, every viewer in the Pokémon world wore a blank expression, because the shift had come far too suddenly.
Just a moment ago, they had been filled with absolute despair, thinking the world was finished.
And now they suddenly saw Pikachu break Arceus' defense.
That emotional leap from extreme despair to extreme shock was too abrupt for their bodies to process.
So their faces were completely numb.
But only they themselves knew how deeply shaken they were inside.
At the same time—
All the divine beasts were stunned as well.
WTF?
What was up with this Pikachu?
It had actually broken Arceus' defense.
Even though Arceus no longer had its Electric-origin Plate—
That still shouldn't have been something Pikachu could accomplish.
What the hell was this Pikachu exactly?
The scene continued.
As Arceus was briefly paralyzed—
Dialga broke free.
At the same time, it noticed Ash and the others.
[Dialga saw Ash, and its eyes flashed]
[Dialga and the others knew they had no way to deal with Arceus directly]
[Continuing the fight would only make Arceus even more furious]
[Arceus was already gravely injured; if the battle continued, its injuries would only worsen]
[So they decided to return to the past and change everything]
A profound energy surged from Dialga's body.
It growled toward Ash.
[Leon]: Quick, quick, Meowth!
[Meowth]: Dialga says: I'll send you back to the past. You go change everything.
Everyone in the Pokémon world: 7777
Send Ash back to the past?
Everyone was instantly fired up.
So that was it.
There was still a turning point.
As long as Ash was there, every ranking video ended happily.
Hope filled everyone's eyes.
But—
At the same time, they were also confused.
Why send Ash and the others into the past?
Why didn't Dialga itself go back?
Wouldn't it be better if it went personally?
This confusion did not exist only in the Pokémon world—
It was shared by viewers across the anime multiverse as well.
But soon—
The narration answered the question.
[The reason Dialga wants to send Ash and the others back to the past]
[Is because…]
[Even beings that rule the world are restrained by rules and order]
[Dialga can control the speed of time, reverse time, and accelerate time, but it itself cannot enter the River of Time and return to the past]
[At the same time, it cannot casually interfere with the development of time or arbitrarily disrupt the timeline]
[Because once two Gods of Time appear at the same point in time, their time authorities will conflict]
[This would trigger terrifying temporal disorder throughout the world]
[At that point, countless Ashes could appear at the same moment, and countless Pikachus could appear at the same moment]
[It could also cause people of the past to appear in the present, or be sent into the future]
Everyone suddenly understood.
So that was how it worked.
And that made sense.
In the Dragon Ball world—
On the Supreme Kai's planet—
The Supreme Kai nodded.
Yes, this kind of restraint was necessary.
If a God of Time could freely travel through time and manipulate timelines as it pleased, according only to its own preferences—
That would be a huge problem.
They Supreme Kais could also travel through time.
Not with their own innate power—
But through a divine treasure:
The Time Ring.
The Time Ring could travel through time.
But—
Its restrictions were even greater than Dialga's.
The Time Ring could only move into the future, never back into the past.
"So Damos truly did not betray Arceus. The truth should be revealed very soon."
Since Dialga could send others back into the past—
As long as Ash went back—
The truth would be uncovered.
Dialga activated its authority over time.
A mysterious force enveloped Ash and his companions.
Around Ash's body, time itself could faintly be seen flowing.
Just as they were about to pass through—
Arceus roared, its voice shaking the air in waves.
The air exploded, and space was lifted up in layers, splitting apart.
Dialga's attempt was interrupted.
"ROAR!!!"
Ash and the others remained where they were.
And it wasn't over yet.
Countless energy bullets appeared around Arceus' body—
Judgment Rubble
—its exclusive technique.
[The time travel was interrupted]
[Dialga wanted to continue using its authority to send Ash and the others into the past]
[But to its shock, it discovered that it could no longer use its authority]
In the scene—
Dialga repeatedly tried to activate its authority, only to find it unusable.
And it wasn't just Dialga.
Palkia and Giratina were the same.
Buzz, buzz—
The six Plates around Arceus' body trembled continuously.
Those Plates were already covered with cracks.
Each tremor deepened the cracks further, and even more fine fractures began appearing.
[Arceus is using its own origin Plates to emit a disruptive force, forbidding them from using the law-authorities they control]
Everyone in the Pokémon world was stunned.
Hope had been shattered again.
Their authorities were unusable?
Ash and the others couldn't go back to the past?
Then nothing could be changed.
Was the future world truly still doomed?
"Roar!!"
In the scene, the three divine beasts roared urgently at Arceus, their eyes fixed on the Plates around it.
This time—
There was no need for anyone to urge Meowth to translate.
It came out on its own.
[Meowth]: The three divine beasts say: Arceus, stop! Don't use the power of the Plates anymore! If you keep this up, the Plates will completely shatter! If that happens, you'll die!!!
Everyone's pupils suddenly dilated.
Die!?
Arceus would die too?
At that very moment, everyone saw it—
One of Arceus' Plates split open with a massive crack, and fragments began to fall away.
Panic seized everyone.
What was going on?!
The world was about to be destroyed—
And Arceus would die as well!!!
And just then—
The three divine beasts seemed to sense something.
Joy flashed through their eyes.
They looked toward Ash's side, where a streak of green light flashed past.
"Roar!!"
The three divine beasts let out excited cries.
Then—
Ash and the others vanished.
