The ultimate city after the Tide of Alien Beasts is extremely busy.
The logistics personnel of the Ultimate Defense Force were cleaning the battlefield outside the city. Inside the city, the residents who had just come out of the emergency shelter also helped as much as they could.
The elite trainers from the earth and their elves are astonishingly powerful. The nearly week-long uprising of the ultimate alien beasts has failed to break through the outermost protective layer of the metropolis. This also makes the atmosphere inside the metropolis not heavy at this time.
Heroes like Daigo deservedly enjoyed the courtesy and respect of the residents of the metropolis, leading their spirits through the gleaming streets of the metropolis like heroes.
The purpose of this kind of parade is, of course, to boost the confidence of the people of Metropolis and to ingrain in their hearts the belief that "ultimate beasts are not invincible".
Many young metropolitan youths are looking at the high-spirited trainers and their elves with enthusiasm, their eyes sparkling, and they have made a vow in their hearts, "I will become as powerful a trainer as them."
In this time of despair and darkness, hope is something more precious than light.
Xia Chen waited silently for the parade to end before catching up with Dawu. The two came to a drink shop near the Metropolitan Tower to drink and chat.
"I remember that you came to the Ultimate World three months ago and haven't left since, right?"
Xia Chen asked.
"Well, there are so many places worth exploring in this world. If it weren't for your and Dr. Kukui's decision, I might have stayed here for a few more years."
As he said that, Dawu frowned slightly and said lightly, "Well, I may never be able to adapt to the food here. This drink tastes really weird."
Boscodora on the side remained silent, but it felt that the ores in this world were very suitable to its taste.
"Let's not talk about this for now, I want to ask you something."
Xia Chen stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "Can you tell me in detail what happened in the city in the past three months, especially the period at the end of May?"
The end of May was the beginning of the tidal wave of alien beasts riots. Since then, the tide of beasts that were originally only blue and purple levels has jumped to the current orange level.
Daigo thought for a while and replied: "At the end of May? During that time, I seemed to have been digging for rocks in the north area... Not to mention, I dug up a type that is very similar to the luster stone."
When it comes to stones, Dawu obviously talks more.
Xia Chen was just trying to find an excuse to change the topic back to business, when he was suddenly startled and asked: "You mean, you've discovered an ore that's very similar to radiant stone?"
You have been practicing for so long, how could you forget this?
The ore that Xia Chen thought of was naturally Z pure crystal.
If there is anything that can scare Dark Matter, Z Pure Crystal is definitely the most likely one.
Xia Chen had doubts before. When he excavated the radiance stone, the dark matter gave a very strong feedback through the riot of the ultimate beast.
For this reason, he specially brought all the radiance stones back to the earth.
So this more serious riot is undoubtedly the result of the discovery of Z Pure Crystal.
Maybe more than that.
…………
Over there, Dawu has already given the answer.
He introduced in an excited tone: "Yes, just as you guessed at the beginning, similar to the keystone and super stone, Taijing stone and Taijing fragments, we have discovered the stone corresponding to the radiant stone! And as of now, we have discovered
, this kind of crystal has different properties! The fusion with the radiance stone can urge the elves to release extremely powerful moves!"
"Because no crystals with steel or rock properties have been found yet, we asked Daye's Blazing Monkey to test them."
Daigo said excitedly: "You would never guess that the moves catalyzed by the Radiant Stone and the Fire Element Crystal are nearly three times more powerful than the Big Character Explosive Flame!"
Xia Chen was not as excited as Daiwu at all, but asked eagerly: "Have you already started research? Where did you do it? The ultimate world or the earth?"
When this question was asked, he already had the answer in his mind. If it were not done in the ultimate world, would Dark Matter have such a big reaction?
As expected, Daigo's answer was: "In the laboratory of Metropolis."
He didn't understand why Xia Chen had such a big reaction, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Xia Chen smiled bitterly and said: "It's nothing, it can be considered a good thing. The cause of this riot may have been found."
Daigo was stunned, "You mean, because of the experimental research we did?"
Xia Chen sighed softly and nodded, "It's better to explain some things to you. Various sources can show that it is a kind of [dark matter] that eroded the ultimate world into what it is now.
Existence...you can understand it as a chaotic body without intelligence, it only has a single-celled mind that destroys the world."
Dawu was obviously shocked by this heavyweight information, and he didn't speak for a while.
After resting for nearly half a minute, he scratched his hair in an awkward manner and asked: "So, our research has made it sense a threat, and then it plans to send the ultimate beast to destroy us?"
Xia Chen nodded and affirmed: "I think your understanding is quite different."
Dawu was so excited just now, but now he was so distressed. He said sadly: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have done such a dangerous move in this situation."
"It has nothing to do with you, and I didn't tell you in advance."
Xia Chen calmly persuaded: "No matter what, it is not a good thing to be able to discover it in time. At least we know that the guy is definitely afraid of the energy burst out from this move."
Dawu rubbed his hair, cheered up again, and asked: "Then what should we do now?"
Xia Chen pondered for a moment and replied: "Just do whatever you want. You take the radiance stone and pure crystal back to Earth to continue research. I will stay here to see what the situation is like."
The best-case scenario is that the riot of alien beasts subsides as the [Z-Move] aura that makes Dark Matter fearful disappears, but this is only an ideal situation. If it does not get better or even worse, Xia Chen and Sirona Cattleya can withstand it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Dawu's expression was a little tangled. Xia Chen could see that he wanted to stay, so he advised: "Compared with the extra battles you have to stay,
It will be more helpful to us if we continue to study the radiance stone."
These words were a little too true and heartbreaking, but Dawu was not a glass-hearted man either. He looked gloomy for a while and then nodded.
"Well, I understand, you should be more careful when you stay here."
Xia Chen smiled slightly and stretched out his hand towards Dai Wu, "Of course, I'm still waiting for the next battle with you."
Dawu's handsome face also burst into a smile, "Okay, next time, I will let you see the hard work of Boscodora and the others day after day!"
Snapped!
There was a crisp high-five, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
…………
Once you have done a good job of coordination and communication, the next thing will be very simple.
In less than three days, Daigo and the others returned to Earth with the ore named [Z Pure Crystal] and various research results of the past few months.
The only visitors from other worlds left behind in Metropolis, which had been bustling for several months, were Xia Chen, Sirona and Cattleya.
The situation did not improve because of the disappearance of Z Pure Crystal and Radiant Stone. Within a week, Metropolis ushered in another wave of alien beasts of the same level.
Although the number of trainers and elves has been greatly reduced, the defense project is not more difficult.
Xia Chen only allowed the golden pair of Zeraora and Reggie Elle to take action, and the powerful ultimate beasts fell one by one like wheat fields during the autumn harvest.
Coupled with the fully recovered Sidorane and Cresselia, the people of Metropolis once again defended their homeland.
This situation does not even require the intervention of Guluton or King Lei Guan, it can be said to be completely within the controllable range.
During this period of time, Xia Chen was not idle either. He ran to the place where Dai Wu excavated the Z Pure Crystal and continued to look for Z Pure Crystals with other properties.
It's still the same principle. The more the enemy refuses to do something, the more it shows that you are sticking to the right direction.
Prior to this, Daiwu had already found Z pure crystals including fire, water, electricity, flying, and other general attributes.
Therefore, Luton's mining efficiency was no lower than that of Bosco Dora. In just half a month, he found Z pure crystals with six attributes: grass, ice, dragon, steel, ghost, and fairy.
As for the other attributes, Xia Chen really couldn't find them, and they probably weren't hidden in this mining area.
But in general, in addition to the two major attributes of super power and fighting, the Z pure crystals of these attributes are enough to cover the attributes of Xia Chen and his elves.
On the other side of the earth, Daigo and the others have also made quite effective research into Z-moves, and have already created something like the Z-Bracelet.
And a question that has been bothering Xia Chen - "Do I have to dance when using Z moves?" has also been answered.
The answer is no. Whether it is shouting out the name of the move or dancing, it is just a medium to help the elves communicate with the energy of the Z bracelet.
Superpowers like Xia Chen and Cattleya can help the elves perform Z-moves without the need for slogans or gestures.
But Sirona can't do it...
When she learned that the cost of using the Z move was a dance, she almost didn't think it was Xia Chen's prank, and it took a long time to accept the fact.
After all, the Z-move allows the elf to explode with power that far exceeds its own level of energy intensity. The price is only a short dance, which is not shameful.
In fact, as long as everyone does this kind of thing, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. However, Xia Chen and Cattleya who stay in the ultimate world don't need it. If Sirona is the only one left to do it, it will be a bit shameful.
Finally, at Sirona's half-soft and half-hard request, Xia Chen also joined the Z-move dance troupe.
…………
Two months passed in a flash.
According to Earth Alliance history, it is already early October of 2026.
The ultimate world has no distinction between day and night, nor seasons. It was only after Xia Chen returned to Earth that he suddenly realized that another year had almost passed.
This year seems to have passed very quickly. When I think back to the days when I first came to Alola at the beginning of the year, it feels like it was yesterday.
"Speaking of which, is the Eighth Masters Tournament going to start again?"
One day, Xia Chen suddenly asked after the daily battle with Sirona.
Sirona was stunned for a moment, then nodded after thinking for a moment: "It seems... it's about to start."
The Eighth Masters Tournament is held every four years. The last time was at the end of 2022, and now it is almost the end of 2026. Isn’t it about to start again?
"What, do you want to participate?"
Sirona took a drink from the cup handed over by Rose Leiduo and analyzed: "Based on your strength, you are fully qualified to represent the Donghuang region, but you are not the champion..."
The traditional rule of the Eight Masters Tournament is that only the trainers with the highest rankings in the world from each major region can participate, and usually those who compete for each region are champions.
Therefore, it is also known as the elf battle game with the highest gold content and honor.
However, in the past two years, the Alola region has established an alliance, and the Kanto region and the Johto region have to separate. It is rumored that the next one will be expanded to the [Ten Masters Tournament].
Of course, this has nothing to do with Xia Chen, the museum owner.
Xia Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true. I just didn't expect that we have known each other for almost four years."
Sirona was startled, then smiled knowingly.
That year, I followed a p-site owner who taught Donghuang cuisine, and by chance, I had more connections.
Who would have thought that four years later, that boy who didn't even have a starting elf would now be a top trainer who could compete with him?
What's even more incredible is that he has become the most special... friend in my heart.
"Hey, why is your face a little red? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xia Chen's words interrupted Sirona's thoughts. She calmed down and said calmly: "It's okay. The intensity of this battle is a bit high. I just need to take a rest."
This is a cover-up reason, but it is also the truth.
In the past two months, Xia Chen's elves have made rapid progress.
From the very beginning, everyone was suppressed by him, and now, the two of them have become completely equal.
Xia Chen has repeatedly defeated himself in a 6V6 all-out battle.
Of course, this is a contest between non-legendary elves.
When it comes to legendary elves, Sydoran is a complete little brother in front of Guluton and Deoxys, and even Zeraora's back can't be seen.
In fact, compared to the time when she defeated Dandi to reach the top of the Eighth Masters four years ago and became the strongest champion, Sirona has never stopped moving forward.
Now she is an existence that ordinary trainers can't match.
Conquering Sidoran is just one of the manifestations. Super Bite Land Shark, Super Lucario and others have the same strength as Sidoran.
In other words, Sirona's top combat power has surpassed the "championship level" in the secular sense and reached the "legendary level" that only the mythical beasts can touch.
The same is true for the equivalent Super Senbu, Super Gardevoir, and Dynamax Menas.
It can be said that Sirona and Xia Chen can now fully represent the pinnacle of human trainers, and are firmly one level higher than other champions.
Hmm...except for Cattleya, a weirdo whose upper limit I don't know where.
