[Random prodigy selection successful] [Level 97 Gardevoir, Level 95 Malamar, Level 96 Mismagius]

Golden light descended upon the arena. Qian Renxue wore the Angel Holy Armor, held a longsword burning with golden holy flames, and spread the six wings behind her as a sacred halo flowed around her.

The vast divine power temporarily elevated to level ninety-nine surged through her body, bringing an unprecedented sense of strength, yet also a trace of instability from an unsteady foundation.

Her gaze was sharp as she looked toward the three vastly different figures opposite her.

On the left stood a bizarre creature that walked upright and resembled a squid.

The eight tentacles on its head writhed like living snakes, while the massive blade-like tentacles at its sides glinted coldly. Its yellow compound eyes were icy and calm.

On the right floated a purple, spherical ghost wearing a wizard's hat, with a ruby embedded in its chest. It radiated an unsettling, illusory aura.

At the center stood an incomparably elegant white figure, like a spirit beneath the moon, its temperament cool and mysterious.

"Prodigies from the Pokemon World..." Qian Renxue took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation brought on by her surging power, along with her worries over what had happened to Qian Daoliu and the others.

She was now the Angel God's successor, bearing divine decree and expectation!

There were also the rewards for making the rankings. This was undoubtedly an opportunity to change her fate. If victory was possible, no one wanted to lose.

The temporarily elevated level ninety-nine power was like controlling a ferocious beast, placing immense pressure on her.

These three Pokemon did not carry the crude or disgusting feeling of the previous teams. Instead, they possessed an air of mystery, elegance, and even a touch of melancholy.

Their levels were equally high, and their auras deep, yet not ostentatious.

"Three against one again..." the spectators muttered inwardly, but none dared underestimate them anymore.

The prodigies of the Pokemon World had long proven through countless battles just how endlessly variable their forms and tactics could be.

No one knew what kind of abilities they would display this time.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, cast aside her distracting thoughts, and battle intent ignited in her golden eyes.

She struck first. The Angel Holy Sword condensed sacred flames as she unleashed a probing Judgment Sword!

Yet the Gardevoir opposite her merely looked at her quietly.

As the light of Mega Evolution suddenly bloomed, Gardevoir's white gown transformed into a magnificent, chilling black dress, like a dark orchid blossoming in the night.

Her blood-red eyes locked onto Qian Renxue, as though they could see directly through her soul and the path of her destiny.

The instant Qian Renxue's attention was drawn by the sudden evolution and those crimson eyes—

Malamar's massive blade-like tentacles silently rose. They did not attack, but instead vibrated rapidly at a strange frequency, releasing a low, monotonous hum like the murmurs of a deep-sea dream!

A special fluctuation locked onto Qian Renxue.

Hypnosis!

That hum seemed to carry magic, acting directly upon the spiritual level.

Mismagius at the side seemed to receive some sort of command. The ruby on her chest suddenly lit up, and thicker purple hypnotic mist glittering with starlight spread around her, silently flowing toward Qian Renxue like a living tide!

Mega Gardevoir lightly raised her slender hand and pointed vaguely in Qian Renxue's direction.

Gardevoir's crimson eyes glimmered as she raised her delicate arm and gently pointed at the incoming sword light. Qian Renxue's attack was instantly neutralized.

At the same time, blue light surged from her eyes as a special psychic force spread outward.

Mind Perception, Future Sight!

Through telepathy, scenes from memory were forcibly poured into the target's mind in the form of Future Sight, creating mental confusion.

A profound and unfathomable force of time and causality spread out. It did not directly attack Qian Renxue, but silently seeped into the arena's space and rules, as if planting a seed set to detonate later.

Multiple hypnosis effects stacked together!

Qian Renxue felt her vision blur. The spreading purple mist seemed to carry a sickly sweet fragrance, while Malamar's deep-sea murmurs echoed beside her ears.

Gardevoir's crimson eyes were like whirlpools, dragging her consciousness ever downward!

The instability caused by her temporarily elevated power had become a massive weakness at this moment!

This is bad! A mental attack! Alarm bells rang in Qian Renxue's mind. She hurriedly activated Angel Divine Power to protect her consciousness, trying to dispel the drowsiness.

But the hypnotic abilities of the three Pokemon seemed to form some kind of resonance field, their effects far exceeding the ordinary!

Her movements began to slow. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and the arena before her started to twist and spin, transforming into bizarre fragments of dreams...

"I can't fall asleep!" She bit through her tongue. The sharp pain brought a trace of clarity, and she forcefully swung her sword, sending out a sacred blade of light in an attempt to interrupt them.

However, Mega Gardevoir's figure flickered and drifted like a phantom, easily evading the light blade.

Within her crimson eyes was reflected Qian Renxue's stubborn resistance, as well as what seemed to be... a predetermined future.

As Qian Renxue struggled against the drowsiness and barely resisted the triple hypnosis, Gardevoir's Future Sight silently detonated deep within her consciousness!

But this was not Future Sight as a physical attack. It was a mental impact that combined hypnotic suggestion with fragments of the future.

Qian Renxue felt her mind sink slightly as an irresistible wave of drowsiness and mental slackness washed over her.

She immediately gathered her sacred will to resist. With her temporarily level ninety-nine Mental Power and the protection of Angel Divine Power, hypnosis of this level should have found it difficult to affect her.

But a deeper light flashed through Mega Gardevoir's red eyes.

She did not intend to forcibly hypnotize or control her. Instead, she used the mental gap created by Hypnosis, combined with the mental seed planted by Future Sight, to carry out deeper mental suggestion and scene projection!

"Resist the strings of fate. See the true color beneath divine decree." An ethereal voice, as if echoing directly from the depths of her soul, rang within Qian Renxue's consciousness through Gardevoir's telepathy.

The next moment, the arena before Qian Renxue's "eyes" abruptly changed!

She "saw" herself wearing the Angel Divine Outfit and wielding the Angel Holy Sword as she underwent the final Divine Position Inheritance Ceremony.

The final Divine Trial required her to personally judge her closest relative. Her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, looked at her with satisfaction and resolve.

At the most crucial stage of the ceremony, an enormous amount of sacred energy and a sacrifice were required...

In the vision, Qian Daoliu gave her an incomparably loving smile tinged with farewell, then was judged by her as a sinner.

Then his entire body began to burn, transforming into the purest Angel Divine Power and flowing into her body!

She succeeded. She became the new Angel God! But the price was... her grandfather's eternal disappearance!

"No... Grandpa!!" Qian Renxue screamed within the illusion, her mind violently shaken!

The scene changed again.

She "saw" another future: her final battle against Tang San, who had inherited the divine positions of the Sea God and Asura God.

Bibi Dong, the mother she hated to the bone yet was connected to by blood, appeared on the battlefield for some reason.

At the instant Tang San's Asura Demon Sword was about to deal her a fatal blow, Bibi Dong actually used her body to shield her!

Purple-black Rakshasa Divine Power collided with the light of the Asura Sword and was annihilated. Bibi Dong looked back at her amid the blood-red light, her gaze complex and inscrutable, filled with guilt and relief.

Then her figure shattered.
