"Thanks."
Panting heavily, Tetsuya nodded at Cynthia.
In those final moments, he could feel Giant Gengar's struggling strength suddenly weaken considerably.
Without a doubt, that was the result of her intervention with Aura Sphere.
Cynthia shook her head with a solemn expression. "It's still far from over. The next step is what truly matters."
As she spoke.
Her gaze turned to the trembling Spiritomb nearby.
"Have the monks perform the same operation as before at these corresponding locations.
"The key condition for activating this seal is the strange power they possess."
Having gathered quite a bit of information, Cynthia said thus.
Tetsuya nodded readily.
There was no way anyone would refuse to cooperate at a time like this.
The monks clearly had no desire to gamble with their own lives.
Under Tetsuya's arrangements and direction.
The many monks lined up at the twelve locations Cynthia had indicated.
"Begin."
Cynthia commanded her Spiritomb to toss its fellow into the center of the hall, then closed her eyes.
Although Aura Sphere sounded impressive, and its source was Arceus, the Creator God of the world, she still could not afford to lose focus while performing delicate manipulations. Otherwise, problems could easily arise.
The Spiritomb in the center of the hall poked its head out helplessly.
Its instincts told it that something bad was about to happen.
Honestly, it really wanted to run.
At a time like this, even its fear of a powerful member of its same race was useless.
But.
From another perspective.
Spiritomb was also extremely reluctant to leave this place.
What a joke.
No Ghost Type Pokemon that sensed the immense life energy and soul power here would choose to leave.
To them, nothing could be more alluring.
It was precisely because it hesitated for less than half a minute.
