【……destroy.】
Lin Che silently put the fragments back in their original places.
His fingertips could feel that on these carbonized papers, there was still a faint, extremely faint spiritual imprint.
That was the fear and resentment of those researchers on their deathbeds twenty years ago.
It was also mixed with another, larger, purer force... sadness and anger.
He closed his eyes, as if he could hear countless souls wailing beneath this desolate ruin.
He could also sense the immense confusion the created life faced the moment it opened its eyes, and the overwhelming rage that, after being deceived, was enough to burn everything.
A moment later, Lin Che reopened his eyes.
The last ripple in his eyes subsided, leaving only an unwavering determination.
He turned to face the bottomless entrance.
"Let's go."
Without uttering any further words, he led all the elves and took the first step into the darkness.
Inside the ruins lies a world utterly destroyed.
The air was filled with the smell of rusting metal and a lingering burnt odor.
As far as the eye could see, there were twisted and broken giant steel bars, piercing out of the walls and ceiling like the dying skeletons of a colossal beast. Countless shattered glass culture tanks lay scattered on the ground, the remaining green nutrient solution long since dried up, leaving eerie, map-like patterns on the floor.
This place is like a giant steel maze, or even more like a post-apocalyptic graveyard.
Lin Che's footsteps echoed clearly on the broken rubble, sounding particularly out of place in this desolate space.
On his retina, a blue data stream that only he could see had already quietly appeared.
The Eye of Truth is operating at high speed.
The massive amount of data was analyzed and reconstructed, and finally, a three-dimensional virtual map with clearly marked paths slowly unfolded in his field of vision.
A final destination, marked by a scarlet dot, appeared at the deepest part of the map.
[Target locked: The bent spoon]
[Location: The lowest level of the laboratory, the core area—'Between Creation']
[Item Analysis: This item was once Mewtwo's personal possession. During the 'Cinnabar Island Incident,' it withstood the instantaneous burst of Mewtwo's primal power, completely distorting its physical structure and infusing it with the purest Mewtwo primal power.]
found it!
Lin Che's breath hitched slightly.
But the next second, an even more glaring warning popped up with the highest privileges, directly covering the entire virtual screen.
【Highest Level Danger Warning!!!】
The target area, 'Between Creation,' was once the core singularity where Mewtwo's emotions erupted.
The area still retains residual spiritual energy from its rampage.
[System analysis indicates that this energy has formed a stable, high-intensity 'psychic storm' field.]
[WARNING: This field has an extremely high energy level and possesses powerful physical interference and mental tearing properties, capable of instantly destroying any unauthorized intruder.]
[Intrusion Risk Assessment: Fatal!]
The alloy gate stood silently before us, more like a scar leading to an abyss than a gate.
Cold and deathly silent.
Lin Che stood before the scar, the surrounding air thick and almost solidified, each breath carrying a leaden weight. An invisible pressure seeped out from the crack in the door, not a physical squeeze, but a terrifying tearing sensation that directly affected his soul.
That was anger, that was sorrow, that was the purest destructive will born from betrayal and despair.
It is the residual psychic power of Mewtwo.
On his retina, the data stream projected by the [Eye of Truth] system had turned into a chaotic crimson. Every warning was flashing frantically, sharply announcing that the energy reaction ahead had exceeded the "danger" threshold and reached the highest level in the system's judgment.
fatal.
"Even a wisp of energy left over from twenty years ago possesses this level of power..."
Lin Che muttered to himself, his voice unusually clear in the deathly silent passage. He opened his palm, a fine layer of cold sweat already soaking his palm, making it feel icy to the touch.
The goal of this trip, the "Crooked Spoon," lies at the heart of that mental storm.
This crucial item, capable of guiding Zhixing through its transformation, is now like a drop of morning dew suspended in the eye of a Category 12 hurricane.
Forcibly breaking in is tantamount to suicide.
But turning away and leaving was not his choice.
The solemnity in Lin Che's eyes slowly faded, replaced by an almost absolute calmness. He took several steps back, creating a safe distance between himself and the ominous door.
"Wind Speed Dog."
He issued the command.
"Use the lowest power of [Flame Jet] on the gate."
"Ouch!"
Arcanine lowered its massive body slightly, letting out a low growl. A wisp of flame, compressed to its limit and only as thick as a human arm, shot out from its mouth, aiming precisely at the tightly closed alloy door.
There was no impact sound as expected.
Just as the flames were about to touch the door, an invisible barrier appeared out of thin air. The orange-red flames collided with it without scattering a single spark or creating a ripple.
It was simply... broken down.
The light and heat that make up the flames are completely dismantled and stripped away the moment they come into contact with the barrier, ultimately turning into nothingness and being silently swallowed up by that space.
"Physical attacks are nullified."
Lin Che's brows furrowed tightly. This storm, constructed purely of spiritual energy, completely disregarded the physical laws of the real world.
So, what about energy attacks?
"Hakuryu, [Dragon Pulse]!"
The order is issued.
Hakuryu gracefully rose into the air, its slender body swirling, and a ball of blue-purple dragon energy rapidly gathered in its mouth. The beam condensed, carrying the unique nobility and majesty of the dragon race, and blasted directly towards the invisible area in front of the door!
This time, there was finally a response.
"Om-!"
A deep, muffled roar, as if it came from the depths of the earth, exploded!
The entire alloy-cast passage trembled violently under the impact, and the metal plate at the top groaned under the strain.
The invisible barrier of psychic energy caved inward in a clear arc under the bombardment of the dragon's energy fluctuations.
But only for a moment.
The next second, it suddenly bounced back, even more solid than before. The purple energy aura became more and more violent, and the mental pressure it emitted suddenly increased!
"Stop attacking!"
Lin Che immediately stopped Hakron.
He understood. His attacks not only failed to break through the barrier, but were actually "charging" this uncontrolled storm of psychic energy. The energy from each attack was absorbed and transformed by it, ultimately making it even more dangerous.
Dilemma.
Just as Lin Che's brain was racing, trying to find a third possibility, a soft chirping sound rang in his ears.
The voice was ethereal, as if it came from a distant starry sea.
Zhixing, who had been quietly hovering beside his shoulder, was staring intently ahead with his pure golden eyes.
Faced with that psychic storm that would make even Arcanine and Dragonair extremely uncomfortable, there was no fear in its eyes.
Instead of fear, they exuded a sense of... warmth.
It evokes a longing and yearning, like a prodigal son who has been away from home for a long time finally smelling the scent of his hometown.
Lin Che's heart skipped a beat.
An extremely bold, even somewhat insane, idea exploded in his mind.
Yes.
Mewtwo's power originates from human genetic engineering, but its essence remains Earth's spiritual energy. Celestial, on the other hand, is an alien Pokémon from outer space; its mental structure and energy attributes are completely different from all life on this planet!
Perhaps, only it can find a different path in this desolate place!
Lin Che slowly squatted down, his gaze level with the newborn baby, and spoke in the gentlest tone he could muster.
"… Zhixing, can you feel it?"
"Is there... a way through in there?"
Zhixing seemed to fully understand his intentions.
Its golden eyes slowly closed.
The next second, a mental wave, completely different from Mewtwo's violent, angry, and sad psychic power, suddenly spread out from its small body!
That fluctuation was tranquil, profound, and full of vast wisdom, like an endless sea of stars.
Instead of confronting the purple storm, it silently scanned the chaotic area like the most sophisticated radar, sensing the flow of every trace of energy within it.
After a while.
Zhixing suddenly opened his eyes and let out a clear and firm soft murmur towards an extremely inconspicuous corner in the lower left of the psychic barrier.
Lin Che's gaze instantly fell there.
Because of the special architectural structure and the broken walls, the flow of psychic energy there experienced an extremely weak "window period" that occurred at a fixed time!
A fleeting gap!
"Well done, Zhixing!"
An uncontrollable surge of ecstasy erupted in Lin Che's eyes.
This is the true "brain" of his team! This is the irreplaceable value of Psychic-type Pokémon at the tactical level!
