Ho-Oh's tone showed appreciation for the first time.
[When are you going to challenge for the King's seat?]
"____!!?"
Roy and Lin Xingchen both showed surprised expressions and looked at Xiao Muyi.
She still maintained a calm expression and replied, "After the year, I will launch a challenge."
It's still February.
After the Chinese New Year, it's almost mid-March.
At that time, Roy was 19 years old, Lin Xingchen was 23 years old, and Xiao Muyi was 24 years old.
If the challenge is successful, the 24-year-old king...
It is only one year behind the record of the contemporary champion Lin Wuya.
If we calculate the time more strictly, Xiao Muyi is actually only a few months late...
This talent undoubtedly surpasses the outside world's evaluation of her 'talent as a king'.
The real Champion potential.
Lin Xingchen clenched his fists hard.
In the more than 100 years since the trainer was born, there has never been a 'female champion' in the world.
Ho-Oh is very satisfied with this reply.
[very good.]
[When you succeed in the challenge, you will be qualified to ascend to the second level.] pill.
Chapter 141 The God of Resurrecting the Dead and Granting Wishes
Coming out of the shock of Xiao Muyi's strength, Lin Xingchen put away his complicated expression and asked, "Lord Ho-Oh, what does it mean to climb to the second floor?"
Ho-Oh This time, he didn't sell it, but gave a direct explanation.
[The me you see now is just the will lodged in Sacred Fire, not the real me.]
[Every layer of Bell Tower has a will of fire like me. The real me fell into a deep sleep a hundred years ago and has not yet awakened.]
[When you enter the second floor, you can see the second me. And on the top floor of the tower, resides our true nature.]
A hundred years ago?
Roy felt something in his heart.
"Is the main body falling into a deep sleep because of that Monster Beast War?"
[Yes.]
Ho-Oh's Will's eyes fell on Roy.
[... In the war a hundred years ago, in order to stop the war between the two sides, I resurrected many of the dead who died in the war and eliminated most of the hatred. Also because I used the 'resurrection' power on the "543" time, I had to fall into a deep sleep and wait for the recovery of my power.]
Resurrecting the dead of war...
How many people will it cost, at least hundreds of millions of lives??
Is this the power of 'god'...
Pokémon World's Ho-Oh is by no means so powerful. After the fusion of the worlds, even the power of 'god' has been strengthened.
Roy was surprised at how powerful Ho-Oh was, but also a little relieved.
No wonder, Monster Beast War stopped so quickly, and Pokémon League's order was established so quickly.
Ultimately, the root of hatred was cut off by Ho-Oh.
Sometimes, wars will not stop just because they realize how powerful the other side is. Don't expect people who are caught up in hatred to have the sense to say, "If we continue to attack the earth like this, we will perish."
Mere violence cannot create peace.
Lin Xingchen continued to ask, "Lord Ho-Oh, is there any difference when meeting the other you?"
The voice of Ho-Oh sounded.
[You are here because you are on the list of chosen ones. Every twenty years, there will be chosen ones like you. The Chosen Ones will come here, and I will grant their wishes.]
[Each level of me has stronger power than the previous level.]
[The level of wish that can be realized is higher.]
[I can grant you a wish now. When you have the strength to reach the second level, you will get a second chance to make a wish.] In the legend of Pokémon World, Ho-Oh has the power to resurrect the dead and can make those who see him obtain eternal happiness.
What is happiness?
The concept of happiness varies from person to person, but realizing 'wish' is undoubtedly the most direct happiness. 'Ho-Oh, how can you make Jirachi so embarrassed...' Roy complained in his heart.
Jirachi is also a Legendary Pokémon, but is not known for his 'power', but for his 'ability to fulfill any wish'.
There are currently no rumors about Him on Earth.
Like Zekrom, it has not arrived.
"In the past hundred years, has no one been able to revive your body?" Lin Xingchen asked in surprise.
[Yes.]
Lin Xingchen showed an expression of disbelief.
Because, his father Lin Wuya is undoubtedly the selector of the previous generation, and he has never even reached the top of the tower...
The trainer who is stronger than the champion is the legendary and illusory 'master' that no one has achieved yet - this Ho-Oh standard is too high, right?
[Humanity has never reached the level of trainer of 'master'. So who do you think came up with this level?]
[It's us.]
The explanation given by Ho-Oh made Lin Xingchen calm down.
Over the past hundred years, I don't know how many people have been shocked by this standard, but Ho-Oh has long been used to it. He continued: [In addition to fulfilling wishes, we are also responsible for guarding the sleeping body.]
[There are seals on each floor of Bell Tower. If an intruder appears and wants to attack my body, they must defeat the Sacred Fire clone on each floor, break the seal, and gradually climb the tower. Each level can delay time enough for Pokémon League to react.]
"Exquisite design." Lin Xingchen praised. "Uh..."
Roy was stunned, this is somewhat similar to the classic 'Magic Tower' in RPG games.
Thinking of this, Roy suddenly felt uncomfortable and he boldly raised a question.
"Can't the invaders just blow up the tower? Why do they have to climb the tower?"
Lin Xingchen Silence.
Ho-Oh Silence.
Xiao Muyi has been very silent.
[You... are very clever.]
Ho-Oh was obviously stuck for a while, but quickly regained his composure.
[If you want to destroy Bell Tower from the outside, you need to face the power of all Sacred Fire at the same time. If the intruder has the power to fight against all Sacred Fire at the same time, there is indeed no need to climb the tower and there will be no delay.]
[This is indeed a blind spot in thinking and a design flaw.]
[A hundred years ago, I was in a hurry to fall asleep and did not think carefully.]
A wise man will make a mistake every time he thinks.
Ho-Oh is not omniscient and omnipotent, and it is not surprising that he will make mistakes. There is no need to think of Him as omnipotent.
Roy On the contrary, it is strange that no one has pointed out this design flaw in the past hundred years...
Looking at Lin Xingchen who looked embarrassed, Roy suddenly found the reason...
Human beings are instinctively in awe of 'gods' and rarely question them. Even Lin Xingchen is a proud genius. The way he behaves in front of Ho-Oh is, at best, modest and prudent, but at worst, he's a bit of a licker...
Over the past hundred years, even if some selectors feel that this design is wrong, they probably feel that Ho-Oh has its own back-up, right?
On the contrary, it is Roy. Since I have read the original work in my previous life, I also caught a lot of Ho-Oh in the game. I teased Ho-Oh with people in the post bar. It's 'Mega Pidgeotto', making fun of Groudon as not being able to fly, making fun of Arceus as Arceus...
In short, Roy has no innate fear of these 'gods'.
Ho-Oh's Will also realized this. This human attitude is very rare...
He didn't pay much attention to Roy before, because this human being is the weakest among the three. Of course, at his age, he is strong enough, but what kind of genius has Ho-Oh not seen in the past hundred years?
Talent is not enough to be a trait that Ho-Oh values.
At this time, Ho-Oh's Will focused his attention on Roy for the first time.
...Confusion and Aura Power are together? interesting.
...Shining Stone? Has anyone finally touched this power?
There is a familiar smell in the Poké Ball on his waist.
This is...
The next moment, Sacred Fire shook violently, a trace of extremely terrifying heat emitted, and the entire tower was as bright as day.
"This..." Lin Xingchen looked confused.
'Frisk has arrived at Cosmog...' Roy guessed in his heart. Regarding this, he was mentally prepared before coming.
As a member of the 'gods', Ho-Oh must know the larvae of the god Cosmog in 5.2.
Ho-Oh's attitude towards 'Mythical God' like Ultra Beast, Roy is not sure, but Ho-Oh is kind to human beings and has a cooperative relationship with Pokémon League.
Even if Cosmog is a member of Ultra Beast, he is also Ultra Beast who belongs to Roy. From a camp perspective, he is on the side of mankind.
Therefore, Roy feels that there is nothing to hide.
On the contrary, he wanted to use Ho-Oh's knowledge for free...
He wanted to ask Ho-Oh if there was any way to speed up Cosmog's growth. Simply eating Energy Cube always feels too slow...
But to Roy's expectation, Sacred Fire gradually calmed down and returned to its original state.
Ho-Oh seemed to have no intention of questioning Cosmog, and instead got back to business.
