Xia You knew perfectly well that he had not drawn Arceus's attention earlier.
That was because Necrozma was the biggest target before Arceus!
But that did not mean Arceus would ignore him or let him go.
After all, his arrival here had been illegitimate. To this world, he was a variable, and his appearance had already disrupted the original story and timeline.
How could Arceus possibly overlook someone like him?
Even if it did, that would only be temporary. Once Arceus drove Necrozma away, its next target would, predictably, be him!
There was no room for wishful thinking about that.
And a creator god who had stood high above everything for so long would probably have little to say when dealing with an outsider like him.
It would probably erase him outright and let the world return to its intended course.
That was why he had told Deoxys to include Arceus in the attack just now. There was a very good chance he would have to fight Arceus today.
Who cared whether it was some creator god?
Since he had the ability, he would beat it until it no longer dared to attack him lightly!
He would beat it until it accepted him and no longer dared entertain the thought of erasing him!
Still...
To be honest, seeing Arceus attack him just like an ordinary Pokémon, unable to break free of a Pokémon's way of fighting, Xia You could not help shaking his head slightly.
He was still a little disappointed.
Though it was called the creator god, Arceus was ultimately just a Pokémon.
If possible, it would have preferred Arceus's way of fighting to be more unusual, rather than so "conventional."
Of course, none of that mattered.
Because Xia You was an atheist through and through!
