Chapter 674: Under the Whole Heaven, Every Spot is the King's Land
"Then how come He's like this now?"
Kazuya shot a confused glance at Regigigas.
To be honest.
Looking at Iron Pillar's appearance.
You really couldn't tell he was a guy who would proactively challenge Arceus.
At first, he didn't even want to fight Groudon.
"Didn't I say I don't know? Arceus didn't tell me about it. If you can find Dialga, maybe you can ask."
Rayquaza shook his head, not very interested in this matter.
"Dialga knows?"
"Since Arceus told me, he definitely told Dialga too."
Rayquaza thought for a moment before adding, "Such a huge event, I refuse to believe that guy didn't go back to that point in time to take a look. Dialga and Giratina definitely know the most secrets in this world."
"Makes sense, but why did you mention Giratina?"
Kazuya asked.
The Giratina of this world had already been killed by him in his previous life.
To be honest.
Even now, Kazuya didn't know why Giratina was so dead set on killing him.
Just because he beat him up during the Clash of Ages in Dahara City?
Anyway, Kazuya could probably guess why Giratina was dead set on killing Cynthia; it probably had something to do with Cynthia's ancestor from a thousand years ago, Volo.
"Dialga knows a lot because he can return to past timelines to find answers, but to find answers, he has to show himself to look."
"But once he shows himself and is discovered, it could affect the timeline. That's a very serious matter and could result in Dialga not being able to return to his own time."
"So he is also taboo about casually traveling through time. So to say he knows a lot is not entirely true."
"But Giratina is different. Although he can't travel through time, staying in the Distortion World allows him to see things in the real world through shadows, and we can't detect him."
"Who knows, he might be watching us from the Distortion World right now, and already knows you're from the future. A guy like that, do you think he knows few secrets?"
Rayquaza's analysis made Kazuya sweat profusely.
It actually made sense.
Could Giratina's desire to kill him...
Be because he overheard at some point in time that Kazuya would kill him in the future?
Thinking of this.
Kazuya felt it was better to talk less about his past lives in the future.
The Giratina on this current timeline hadn't been killed by him yet.
Although.
Kazuya felt he should have the strength to kill him now.
But the premise was that Giratina came out of the Distortion World and fought him in his Altered Forme.
Anyway.
He couldn't find a way in for now, and even if he did, he wouldn't go in.
This topic was tacitly ended.
They changed the subject.
"What do you plan to do next?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Are you going back to the future?"
"I will go back, but not now."
Kazuya casually swished his tail.
Feeling the sensation of his tail pushing aside the lake water, his mood brightened slightly.
Speaking of which.
Except for his first life.
He had a tail in every life.
This life's tail was the longest, and the Piplup life's was the shortest.
"Searching for a way to make life immortal."
"What?"
"That's what I have to do. Before I achieve this, even if I go back, it won't mean much."
Kazuya stretched and grasped the Zap Plate in his hand. "Perhaps, in this era, I can get closer to that goal faster."
Not just a way to make life immortal.
More accurately.
It was a way to achieve an ideal future.
Life immortality.
Was just one of the necessary conditions to achieve this ideal future.
"Guys like us seem to be immortal."
"More or less. Physically immortal, but not spiritually. You will change too."
Kazuya shrugged.
"Is the future me different from the current me?"
Rayquaza looked at Kazuya curiously.
"There's still a bit of a difference, hehe."
Kazuya grinned.
The Rayquaza of the League Era gave him the feeling of a weathered middle-aged man; the current Rayquaza was an intelligent youth with some arrogance in his bones.
"...Does that method really exist?"
"It might exist, it might not. Anyway, I won't give up."
Rayquaza blinked after hearing this.
He retracted his head and dove back to the bottom of the lake, seeming to want to think about something.
Seeing him leave.
Kazuya's originally excited mood completely dissipated.
Looking at the starry sky, he gradually closed his eyes.
Amidst countless closings of eyes and the turning of the sun and moon.
Seventy years passed.
On the other side of this planet, in the deepest part of a certain ocean.
A Milotic, covered in scars, exerted all her strength to deliver one final tail whip.
Smack!
The seventy-five-meter-long Mega Sharpedo Overlord was sent flying by this tail whip towards a deep abyssal rift on the ocean floor, never to swim out again.
A generation of notoriously infamous ocean bullies was thus defeated.
The ocean.
No longer had a single Pokémon that could be called an Overlord.
In the deepest part of a cave somewhere six thousand meters deep.
Mega Garchomp's sharp dual scythes slashed across.
The giant Rhyperior rolled its eyes back and fell forward.
The Ground Overlord, who had held out until the end, fell in defeat.
The land.
Was completely conquered by the Dragon Clan.
At the top of the troposphere.
Wind and waves dispersed the surrounding clouds.
Terrifying purple energy wrapped around Mega Dragonite's body as he unsteadily launched a final charge towards the enemy in front of him.
Dragon Rush.
On the other side.
Covered in golden flames, Charizard's eyes were full of unruffled dead stillness and unshakeable resolve.
At this point.
No one could stop his footsteps.
Flare Blitz!
The two sides transformed into a purple meteor and a golden blazing sun, respectively, and crashed into each other with all their might.
Boom!
The turbulence caused by the intertwining energy almost twisted the space here.
The first to recover from the recoil was Charizard.
A huge fireball slapped onto the wings on Dragonite's head, once again setting off an unparalleled heatwave.
The latter, overwhelmed, completely lost the ability to battle and plummeted downwards.
The lone ranger soaring freely in the sky was defeated.
The sky.
No longer had a rival to the Dragon Clan.
The waves of flame dissipated.
A gorgeous rainbow quietly appeared in this sky.
It seemed to be celebrating that this world had finally welcomed its King.
Charizard's body went limp, spreading his limbs, letting himself float downwards with the wind.
"Roar~"
His wife hurriedly flew over from the side and hugged him tightly.
Her eyes were full of little stars of admiration.
For so many years.
It had never changed.
"Roar..."
Finally... it's done...
His younger brother's face revealed a silly smile that resembled his childhood self.
He had said it before.
He wanted to help his older brother become King.
Today.
He finally did it.
Under the whole heaven, every spot is the King's land.
To the borders of the land, every individual is the King's minister.
The Dragon Clan completely became the Overlord of this planet.
The name of this era was also crowned with the name 'Dragon Clan'.
Any place the sky could reach, any place the sea could go, any place the land could be walked on...
All belonged to the territory of the Dragon Clan.
Black flowers would be scattered across every corner of this world, and even in the sea, there would be black vegetation.
And the Dragon Clan.
Had only one King.
So this world also had only one King.
The Dragon King.
However, regarding all this.
As the dragon involved, Kazuya, it could be said, only found out very late.
As early as when he achieved Primal Reversion and became Mega Charizard X, he had lost the desire to continue conquering.
It could be said.
The entire territory of the southern hemisphere.
Not a single inch was conquered by Kazuya himself.
It was basically all conquered by his younger brother leading the members of the Dragon Clan, and then stamped with his name.
At that time, Kazuya was still traveling around with other members of Team Black Dragon, looking for Plates and methods to grant other creatures eternal life.
Often, when he went out, it was for several days.
When he came back and heard about this from his younger brother.
His head was buzzing.
Kazuya knew his younger brother was passionate about expanding territory for the Dragon Clan.
Seeing his younger brother deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.
He just let him be.
He really didn't expect his younger brother to be able to go this far.
Although Kazuya had no desire to dominate the globe, there was nothing to be dissatisfied about with this achievement handed to him on a silver platter.
Therefore.
Kazuya was not stingy with his praise for his younger brother:
"It's been hard on you all this time. You make me feel proud."
Kazuya reached out and stroked his younger brother's head.
"Roar~"
His younger brother narrowed his eyes, covering his mouth to hide a giggle.
His tail wagged incessantly behind him.
He got praised by his older brother.
Happy~
"How about you be the Dragon King?"
Kazuya raised an eyebrow at this time and smiled.
Compared to seventy years ago.
Kazuya felt he was no longer worthy to sit in this position.
It seemed like he hadn't done anything for the Dragon Clan in a long time.
He didn't even know the current scale of the Dragon Clan.
Besides the tribes he had personally subjugated earliest, he hadn't even met many other Dragon Clan tribes personally.
Even for the earliest tribes.
Kazuya didn't know much, mostly things related to his friends.
The Tyrantrum had a child in his old age.
His younger brother had a grandson and a granddaughter.
Goodra started a family and had a child.
Milotic was still an older leftover woman, a single Empress.
These trivial little matters, in Kazuya's eyes, were actually the kind of interesting things worth remembering.
On the contrary, what the Dragon Clan had conquered again, which Overlord they had defeated... these so-called 'big events'.
Were no longer the focus of Kazuya's attention.
All his energy was put into exploring outside with Team Black Dragon.
Such a him.
Seemed unsuitable to continue sitting in this position.
"Roar!"
His younger brother shook his head vigorously, reaching out to grab Kazuya's shoulder and shaking it.
He thought his older brother was talking nonsense.
If his older brother didn't be the Dragon King, then what was the meaning of his hundred years of effort?
And also.
If his older brother stepped down from the position of Dragon King.
Not to mention anything else.
Who else could the Tyrantrum in the northern rocky mountain range submit to?
"Alright, alright, stop shaking, I know."
Kazuya raised his hand to his forehead with quite a headache.
He didn't expect his younger brother to think so much.
He just said it casually.
If his younger brother really wanted to be this Dragon King, he would just give it to him directly. He would also be happy to have some free time to continue exploring the world with Team Black Dragon.
But since his younger brother had this reaction.
Then he would just have to continue being this hands-off boss.
