Darkrai, Electrolux

After handling the initial fusion between Qian Renxue and Cosmog, Lu Feng did not rush into the next step.

His gaze fell upon Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others. These former peak Douluos had a thirst for new power burning in their eyes.

But their physical condition, Martial Soul traits, and even the state of their souls all needed careful assessment.

The key was determining which Pokemon suited them best, mainly so the Pokemon would not encounter bottlenecks in their breakthroughs.

More importantly, did Qian Renxue's method of forcibly merging with a divine beast carry any hidden dangers?

With a thought from Lu Feng, a divine-sense message was quietly sent out.

The next moment, the shadow beneath his feet silently boiled and stretched without warning.

A mass of shadow deeper than the night slowly rose from it, taking the form of a slender Pokemon that seemed to be condensed from pure darkness.

Faint black mist curled around it, while hair like constantly roiling white flames covered most of its face, revealing only a pair of cold, sharp blue eyes as clear as icy pools.

A ring of red, serrated energy hovered soundlessly around its neck, radiating an ominous yet majestic aura.

The Nightmare God, Darkrai.

Yet everyone's attention quickly shifted away from this mysterious and powerful Pokemon, focusing instead on the figure slowly emerging from the shadow behind it.

It was a man clad in an ornate black robe, woven from some unknown material and embroidered with intricate, ancient, unfathomable runes in gold thread. He

wore a broad white cloak over it, its hood pulled over his head and leaving his face half-hidden in shadow. Only a pair of wise eyes that seemed capable of seeing into the essence of souls was visible.

In his right hand, he held an unusually shaped staff far taller than himself.

The staff was formed from black, white, and gold metals twisted and coiled together, intertwined so thoroughly that they were impossible to distinguish.

The black portion radiated a pure, restrained aura of death; the gold portion flowed with holy, solemn power of light; and the white portion emanated mysterious, inscrutable fluctuations of summoning and souls.

At the tip of the staff was set a black, white, and gold Poke Ball.

His steps were steady. Every step he took seemed to resonate with the laws of the surrounding space, carrying a unique rhythm.

The aura around him was immensely complex and powerful.

It possessed both the eerie, sinister chill of necromancy, with its command over life, death, and reincarnation, and the sacred warmth unique to light power, capable of purification and nurturing all things.

These two forces, which should have been as incompatible as fire and water, had achieved a perfect balance and fusion within him, forming a transcendent and awe-inspiring presence.

The Holy Necromancer God, Electrolux.

Whether Qian Renxue and Solgaleo had any problems was something best left to an authority.

Lu Feng's advancement relied entirely on stacking numerical values, and he had no bottlenecks in cultivation. Nor had he created this system himself.

Previously, he had devoted all his energy to creating Pokemon. Integrating systems like this was far from something he could accomplish with a single thought.

As the saying went, leave professional matters to professionals. He himself only had a superficial understanding of cultivation.

Since Lu Feng had chosen to capture Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he had not been without ideas regarding the divine sense of Electrolux that had originally been bound to it.

At first, he truly had no idea what to do, until he came into contact with the Space-Time Turbulence.

When Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was reincarnated as Mewtwo, Electrolux's divine sense had been drawn out.

Though Lu Feng did not understand the principle, he did not dwell on it. Something like the Space-Time Turbulence could cross timelines in the first place.

A remnant soul needed something to reside in, and the most suitable vessel at the time was Darkrai, a collection of ghost energy within the Distortion World.

Not long after the two fused, Electrolux's divine soul stabilized. Then, seeing that he seemed to have nothing to do, Lu Feng explained the Spirit Soul System to him.

He also captured a batch of Spirit Master Pokemon to assist him in researching the integration of the Spirit Master and Pokemon systems.

There had been quite a few successes, but it had not been promoted on a large scale.

Many others had been experimented on until their bodies exploded, though Electrolux's necromancy ensured they did not die completely.

After sacrificing several thousand lives, they finally achieved the stability needed to maintain the fusion without dying. Fortunately, revival was not difficult as long as the soul remained intact.

Once they became undead, reviving them only consumed a bit of power.

Electrolux came before Lu Feng and bowed slightly. His voice was gentle and clear. "God Lord, what did you need me for?"

Lu Feng pointed at Qian Renxue nearby. "Electrolux, examine her state after fusing with a divine beast. Aside from you, she is the second case of someone subduing a divine beast this way." He gestured toward Qian Renxue and the milky-white Poke Ball in her hand.

Hearing this, Electrolux turned his deep eyes toward Qian Renxue.

There was no aggressive probing, nor did any energy fluctuation leak out. He merely quietly "looked."

Yet Qian Renxue felt as though a gentle, penetrating gaze had softly swept over every part of her, from her body to her soul, leaving nothing hidden.

Even the Angel Divine Power flowing within her, her connection to Cosmog inside the Poke Ball, and the deeper bond between their souls were all clearly revealed beneath that gaze.

After a moment, Electrolux slowly spoke, his voice carrying a scholar's rigor and a trace of approval. "The soul connection is stable, the energy resonance harmonious, and the compatibility of their divinity extremely high.

The Divine Position inherited by this young lady is inherently of pure light, and its rank is not low. It is sufficient to bear the status of a solar divine beast and the feedback of its power.

The two complement one another. At present, there is not only no harm, but considerable benefit. She merely needs to proceed gradually and avoid excessively draining either the divine beast's power or her own Divine Power in a short period."

His assessment was concise, yet it allowed Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and the others to finally breathe a complete sigh of relief.

With the endorsement of this "authority," whose aura was unfathomable and who could see through their essence at a glance, their final trace of doubt about this new path vanished completely.

Electrolux's gaze then fell upon Qian Daoliu, who was being supported by others. His aura was weak, yet his eyes remained clear.

He gazed at this old man who had willingly sacrificed everything for his granddaughter. In those eyes that had seen through the ways of the world, a rare trace of reminiscence and admiration flashed.

He was reminded of the spirit of sacrifice shown by the knights in his previous life.

"As for you..." Electrolux's voice softened slightly. "For the sake of protecting your dearest kin, you were willing to abandon your lifelong cultivation and the foundation of your Martial Soul. Such a spirit of sacrifice is worthy of admiration.

It reminds me of some... old friends and beliefs from long ago."

He seemed to fall into brief reminiscence. Then his gaze refocused, carrying the interest of a scholar exploring truth. "Though your Martial Soul is gone and your Soul Power dispersed, your soul origin remains unharmed, and your will is as firm as ever.

In this Pokemon World, with the God Lord's power combined with my knowledge, there may yet be hope for rebuilding your foundation and granting you new life."

"What?!" Qian Renxue abruptly raised her head, her golden eyes bursting with incredulous delight! Jin E, Xiongshi, and the other consecrated elders were also shaken, looking excitedly at Electrolux and Lu Feng.

Qian Daoliu himself caught his breath. Though he had long since accepted life and death, if he could regain his power—even in an entirely new form—and continue protecting his granddaughter while exploring a new path, it would undoubtedly be a blessing beyond measure!
