Chapter Summaries

Diancie and Hoopa Unbound opened a passage through the black firmament with attacks from Legendary Pokémon across the planet, and Yveltal helped tear it wide enough for the others to reach Cosmic space. Diancie followed Mega Rayquaza and the others toward Dawn Wings Necrozma, leaving Little Y to wait for her return.

• Diancie and Hoopa Unbound linked attacks from several places across the planet through Hyperspace Holes, but the firmament still lacked a complete opening.
• Little Y awakened over Viridian Forest and asked the previous Yveltal consciousness to help Big Sister.
• Yveltal drew Life Energy from the World Tree and fired crimson pillars through a Hyperspace Hole, ripping open the firmament.
• Mega Rayquaza, Black Kyurem, Mega Mewtwo Y, Calyrex, and Reshiram passed through the opening into Cosmic space.
• Little Y briefly regained control to wish Diancie luck, and Diancie charged into Cosmic space after the others.

Diancie acted on Su Hao’s theory that Dawn Wings Necrozma was only projecting its power into their world, and led the Legendary Pokémon in a battle to create an opening. As the fight began, Diancie revealed its plan to devour Necrozma in return and seize its Authority, becoming the Ultra World’s new Radiant God.

• Diancie recalled Su Hao’s theory that Dawn Wings Necrozma had appeared as a projection rather than its true body and built its plan around that possibility.
• Mega Mewtwo Y told Diancie that Deoxys and its recently revived partner had agreed to help.
• Diancie asked the Legendary Pokémon to carve a path, and Mega Rayquaza charged Dawn Wings Necrozma with Dragon Ascent.
• Calyrex, Reshiram, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Black Kyurem combined their attacks to block Necrozma’s assault while Hoopa Unbound sent in attacks through Hyperspace Holes.
• Diancie observed the ripples caused by the Legendary Pokémon’s attacks and confirmed that Necrozma before them was a projection from the Ultra World.
• Diancie chose to fight for Necrozma’s Authority and planned to devour it in turn, becoming the Ultra World’s new Radiant God.

The Deoxys discovered that Dawn Wings Necrozma was only an energy projection, so the Legends held it back while Diancie entered an Ultra Wormhole to confront Necrozma’s true body. Diancie reached the void of the Ultra World, where a cracked, seven-colored prism floated as the core of a god.

• The two Deoxys scanned Dawn Wings Necrozma and revealed that it was a projection powered by Ultra Wormholes, not Necrozma’s true body.
• Calyrex explained that the Legends had to restrain the projection while Diancie entered the Ultra Wormhole alone.
• Diancie looked back at Blue Star and silently bid farewell to Su Hao before flying into the Ultra Wormhole.
• Diancie passed through the wormhole and found a cracked, radiant prism leaking black light in the void of the Ultra World.

Diancie realized Necrozma’s core still loved its creations and chose to take in its light, risking its sanity to overcome the madness and restore the collapsing world. In the void, Arceus offered Su Hao the chance to become the god of its world after recovering the lost Plates and liberating it, and Su Hao accepted.

• Diancie sensed Necrozma’s pain and remorse in its core and understood that the Radiant God had never stopped loving its creations.

• Naganadel noticed a faint glow coming from Su Hao’s corpse, and the light rapidly spread through the World Tree.
• Su Hao’s Pokémon sensed a powerful aura and watched as he appeared to rise from the dead.

Diancie endured Necrozma’s frenzied will while using the Radiant God’s core to spread light through the ruined Ultra World. When its Authority Shell nearly filled, Diancie chose to compress its power and keep working to reshape the world rather than abandon its promise.

• Diancie used the core’s warmth to stay lucid and gradually spread its light against Necrozma’s madness.
• Diancie glimpsed its companions fighting Necrozma: Dawn Wings through the time-distorted Ultra Wormhole and drew strength from their struggle.
• After the light covered an area the size of a city, Diancie discovered that its Authority Shell was nearly full.
• Diancie considered breaking through and returning to Blue Star, but doing so would prevent it from reshaping the Ultra World.
• Diancie compressed the law power in its Authority Shell and resolved to keep its promise to Necrozma’s remaining sanity, no matter how long it took.

After the winning battle and Li Hua's speech, the city awaited the Guardian Deities' appearance at six o'clock.
