"Hehe, thanks. Thanks, everyone."
Looking at the assortment of feathers and scales in his hands, Chen Shi grinned from ear to ear.
These were genuine resources from Tier 1 Legendary Pokémon. Even the least valuable were treasures like Outrage scales, containing a trace of a Legendary Pokémon's essence.
Moreover, the Legendary Pokémon present covered practically every type, so he could give each of his partners one or two items.
Now Arceus won't have to worry about me being unable to break through to the Second-Class Deity level anymore!
Under Mew's deeply envious gaze and the speechless stares of the many Legendary Pokémon, Chen Shi gleefully packed all the resources into his backpack.
While he had been with Arceus in that strange space, Arceus had told him something.

That level required an understanding of laws. Compared to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, which were born capable of comprehending laws, ordinary Pokémon were at an enormous disadvantage.
