Sure enough, everything went exactly as Chen Shi had predicted.
After Dialga and Palkia emerged from the rift, their gazes fell straight on Chen Shi.
Dialga's eyes were stern, and an unquestionable chill permeated its voice as it said gravely:
"It's time. The greater matter comes first. We must send him over."
At those words, Palkia's expression immediately darkened, as though something unpleasant had come to mind.
"Do I need you to tell me that?"
Palkia snapped back at Dialga irritably.
Then it turned its rather hostile gaze on Chen Shi, its tone full of warning:
"Kid, I suggest you don't do anything unnecessary once you get there."
"Otherwise..."
As Palkia spoke, its gaze grew colder still, like tangible frost piercing straight toward Chen Shi.
Chen Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled, and immediately agreed. "Sure thing. Whatever you say."
Though he readily agreed aloud, what he thought was:
Fuck you.
You actually dared to threaten me. In all my years, you're the first.
Just you fucking wait.
From the Time-Space Duo's brief exchange alone, Chen Shi had already more or less guessed what he was going there to do.
So he wasn't worried in the slightest.
Just then, Mew spoke to the Time-Space Duo.
[I knew it was you two. Tell me, what are you trying to do?]
Dialga glanced at Mew. "This has nothing to do with you. We're acting on orders, too. I suggest you stay out of it."
Hearing that, Mew immediately fell silent.
In this world, there was only one being who could give orders to the Time-Space Duo.
Arceus!
Since these were Arceus's orders, Mew didn't dare say anything more.
Then Dialga said to Chen Shi, "You can only bring your own partners. You can't take the little one in your arms or Rayquaza."
