Lin Che lowered his head with great difficulty and all his willpower.
His shoes are gradually losing their original color, starting from the soles, turning into a lifeless gray-white.
He was all too familiar with that texture.
It is the texture of those stone carvings that permeates this oasis.
Petrochemical!
His body began to uncontrollably show signs of petrification, starting from the soles of his feet!
He tried to curl his toes, but only heard a hollow echo from his brain.
That foot no longer belongs to him.
It turned into a stubborn, cold stone, connected to the earth.
The numbness traveled up my ankle.
calves, knees...
Wherever it goes, the warmth and softness of flesh and blood are completely lost, replaced by the coldness and hardness of rocks.
He could clearly "perceive" the process, but was unable to resist it.
He watched helplessly as his life was being replaced by another form of matter.
He finally realized what kind of crisis he was facing.
This is not a fight.
A battle is a confrontation between two sides operating under the same rules.
Now, it is the rules themselves that are trying to erase him from the concept of "life"!
This is an unprecedented, and absolutely unsolvable, life-or-death crisis that cannot even be defined by the word "battle"!
The shadow of death has never been so clear.
It wasn't a cold blade, nor was it roaring energy; it was an erasure from a higher-dimensional, irresistible level of "rules."
When Jirachi's pure and ultimate "wish" power transformed into chains inscribed with the law of annihilation, completely imprisoning Lin Che's limbs, torso, and even soul, his entire concept of existence was forcibly erased.
The speed of thought processes has plummeted to freezing point.
The most basic particles that make up his body are emitting sharp, agonizing cries of despair, as if they are on the verge of collapse.
A deep, primal fear gripped his heart, preventing him from forming a coherent thought. He could only watch helplessly as his fingertips began to turn transparent, about to disintegrate completely and vanish into nothingness.
In that one ten-thousandth of a second that determined life and death, an unexpected change occurred!
Deep within the backpack, the [Spatial Core] obtained from the unknown totem island suddenly burst forth with a soft yet supremely majestic seven-colored light!
This light is not energy; it is neither scorching nor dazzling.
It is a higher-dimensional law of intervention.
A lingering aura originating from the creator god Arceus, traversing countless ages, awakened at this moment. Like a warm yet insurmountable giant hand, it gently constructed a barrier woven from pure laws before Lin Che.
The chains of rules, powerful enough to erase all things, melted and disintegrated silently the moment they touched this seven-colored light, like fragile ice crystals hitting a red-hot iron.
"Om-!"
The pressure of confinement and disintegration suddenly vanished.
Lin Che suddenly regained control of his body, his lungs contracted violently, and he greedily inhaled the first breath of air, his congealed blood beginning to surge again.
Before he could even feel grateful for his narrow escape, a terrifying wave that could make one's soul tremble had already descended.
An even greater crisis is brewing.
Jirachi's awakening, even if it lasted only for a brief moment of less than a second, completely shattered the already extremely fragile spacetime balance of Stardust Cavern.
The entire subspace began to tremble, twist, and wail violently.
The feeling was as if an ancient behemoth that had been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years had been forcibly awakened, and was rolling and struggling in pain, trying to tear the cage that imprisoned it to shreds!
Centered on the oasis of time where Jirachi slumbers, deep, dark cracks appear out of nowhere.
They are not cracks at the physical level.
They are fractures in space itself!
Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions, cutting through and swallowing everything in their path, from solid rock walls and huge crystals suspended in the air to even the light itself that travels through the cave.
……
At the same time, outside the Stardust Cave.
Deep in the Kunlun Mountains, at the highest-level temporary research base temporarily set up by the Alliance.
The piercing alarm blared throughout the valley, and the red warning lights flashed wildly, illuminating every face in a blood-red hue!
"Report! The energy reading inside the Stardust Cavern has instantly exceeded the upper limit of the measurement threshold!"
"All readings are invalid! The instrument is overloaded and burning out!"
"The space structure detectors are showing... My God! The structure is undergoing massive, irreversible disintegration! It's collapsing!"
A young monitor stared intently at the screen as it instantly turned into static, signifying a complete signal loss, his voice trembling with extreme horror.
"Unable to establish any communication! All signals from the deployed detectors have been lost!"
"Based on model analysis, it has been confirmed as a Class S spacetime collapse event, the highest level of safety!"
The constant stream of reports provided the coldest and most desperate commentary on the apocalyptic scene inside the command center.
Lin Che, who was at the very center of this storm, had an extremely solemn expression.
He understood better than the researchers outside who could only see the data that compared to Jirachi's childish, willful, yet unconsciously deadly attacks, the destructive tidal wave sweeping across the entire warp was the real, hopeless predicament with no way out!
However, amidst this endless destruction and chaos, the Eye of Truth, deeply bound to his soul, located between Lin Che's brows, sent back a completely different torrent of information.
In his view, the entire world was instantly reconstructed.
Those terrifying black cracks that tear through space and devour everything are no longer just death traps.
They were analyzed and marked by the Eye of Truth, turning into an incredibly complex yet crystal-clear 3D map!
"Spacetime coordinates: offset +0.87"
"Escape tunnel: structurally unstable, lasting 3.7 seconds"
"High-dimensional energy node: Danger! Approaching it will result in annihilation!"
Lines of keywords that ordinary people simply cannot understand flashed and refreshed rapidly on his retina.
A glimmer of hope!
In less than half a second, Lin Che instantly understood everything!
To defy the gods?
That is the most foolish arrogance of mortals.
But what if we were to utilize this destructive storm itself, unstoppable and instigated by the gods?
A plan that seemed incredibly crazy to anyone, even tantamount to suicide, instantly took shape in his mind.
"We can't stay here any longer!"
The will to survive overwhelmed all other thoughts, and his eyes became sharp and resolute.
He made a quick decision.
Without the slightest hesitation, he instantly recalled the other Pokémon into their Poké Balls.
Immediately afterwards, he flipped over and leaped onto the broad, sturdy back of the warrior eagle, gripping its thick neck feathers tightly.
His gaze pierced through the turbulent energy currents, pointing directly to the core area of the storm, where the spacetime rifts were most concentrated, the energy was most chaotic, and it looked most like the entrance to hell.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable resolve, clearly reaching the mind of the warrior eagle.
"Warrior Eagle, head there, let's charge in!"
Chapter 77 A Chaotic Hunting Ground! A Chance to Gain Experience! Spatial Storm? Or Secret Realm Fusion?
"Wow—!"
A high-pitched eagle cry, capable of shattering metal and splitting stone, tore apart the surrounding violent energy roar.
The eagle's sharp eyes reflected Lin Che's resolute profile, without the slightest hesitation or fear. Its wings, covered in steel-like feathers, suddenly flapped, its muscles instantly bulging to their limit, the resulting gust of air even shattering several floating pebbles around it into dust.
In the next instant, its massive body transformed into a solidified platinum arrow, carrying Lin Che, and resolutely plunged into the raging spatial turbulence that was capable of annihilating steel and evaporating rivers.
The moment you enter the heart of the storm, the world is turned upside down.
The sound was no longer just a simple whooshing, but a piercing scream as if space itself was being torn apart. Vision was completely stripped away, leaving only countless bizarre colors being violently kneaded, pulled, and pulverized, forming a chaotic visual soup.
Lin Che felt an overwhelming pulling force coming from all directions, as if countless invisible giant hands were trying to break him and the Warrior Eagle's body down into the most basic particles.
A black rock, about the size of a truck, was twisted into a pretzel shape by an invisible force less than ten meters to their side, and then silently exploded into a cloud of dust.
An underground river, which should have flowed endlessly down from the rock wall above, defied all the laws of physics. The water froze in mid-air and then evaporated into nothingness in the next second, turning into a white mist.
Countless wild elves caught in this apocalyptic catastrophe let out their final cries, but before their voices could even be heard, they were swept into a deeper void, their very existence erased.
Just then, an extreme sense of danger made Lin Che's nerves tense up!
Without warning, a grotesque gaping hole appeared in the space in front of him. It wasn't a smooth crack, but a wound riddled with jagged fissures, as if it had been smashed open by a tremendous force. Dark void seeped out from the wound, greedily devouring all the light and matter around it.
The next second, the spatial rift suddenly expanded, like an ancient behemoth opening its greedy mouth, big enough to devour the sun and moon!
Countless dark shadows, carrying an aura of chaos and violence, surged out from within!
They were a group of elves who had fallen into a state of extreme rage due to a distortion of space and time.
The massive Onix, as large as a moving hill, has strange energy cracks covering its hard rock body; the perfectly round Rumblebee has four arms that swing wildly, bombarding everything around it; and the Diglett, which used to dart through the rock layers at high speed, is now exposed in the air, with the eyes on its three heads burning with scarlet flames.
They have completely lost their reason, their minds distorted by the chaos of the laws of space and time, turning them into beasts driven only by the instinct for destruction and aggression, launching indiscriminate and relentless attacks on all living things within their sight.
This is an apocalyptic scene that would send chills down the spine and terrify any elite trainer.
However, when faced with this chaotic and terrifying scene, Lin Che's heart rate soared, not out of fear, but out of the primal excitement of a top hunter entering a bountiful hunting ground.
Deep within his pupils, instead of the slightest panic, a flame called "opportunity" ignited.
