When the World Lit Up

Yan Yang was still verbally sparring with Minister Rick, trying to buy Volcanion a sliver of hope. Yet the Ultimate Weapon at the center of the deck had already begun its cold, merciless operation.

The crystal-like Forbidden Creation, with its layered structure resembling an Eternal Flower, slowly began to rotate and unfold as though it had been granted life.

At its core, the deep purple Y Energy forcibly extracted from the "Cocoon of Destruction," as profound as an abyss, activated first, radiating an eerie glow that made hearts tremble!
