Between heaven and earth—
boundless divine might spread.
The Eternabeam, powerful enough to pierce through the planet's core and bore straight through the world, blasted down from the highest heavens toward the ground, as though a god intended to destroy the world itself.
On the ground—
Zacian and Zamazenta pressed forward without hesitation. Every strand of fur on their bodies turned radiant, spilling out energy.
Blue and crimson auras rose from their bodies, making them appear sacred beyond compare.
They leapt high into the air.
Under the watchful gaze of all—
under the eyes of countless billions of viewers across the anime dimensions—
their bodies looked as tiny as ants before the Eternabeam, a beam so massive it could not be described with words.
And yet—
they still collided with it!!
Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash VS Eternabeam!
The collision of the three energies—
became the visual center of the entire world.
The scene was horrifying to the extreme.
Then a bizarre phenomenon appeared.
At the point of impact, the scene was clearly terrifying beyond measure. Endless lightning crackled wildly, space collapsed layer after layer, and even time itself seemed to have stopped flowing.
And yet—
despite such an appalling sight—
no one heard even the slightest sound.
Not even a noise as loud as a firecracker explosion could be heard.
Or rather—
the entire world had fallen silent, as though the very concept of "sound" had ceased to exist.
Not even the sound of one's own breathing could be heard.
Everyone seemed to have become the purest kind of deaf.
At the point of collision, light itself began to distort.
Then—
even light was stripped away.
The image in everyone's eyes went black.
This was not ordinary darkness.
Nor was it the darkness one saw when closing one's eyes at night.
It was pure darkness in its most absolute form—
utter emptiness, utter stillness—
not even the slightest grain of light existed within it.
This continued for more than half a minute.
Finally—
sound and light both returned to normal.
It was as though a nuclear bomb had exploded. Flames filled the sky, and the sight was like a sun had burst apart—scarlet fire blazing brilliantly, the entire scene terrifying and surging with destructive force.
The gigantic shining sword—
and the gigantic glorious shield—
were locked in collision with Eternabeam, while terrifying energy spilled and sprayed in all directions, and dense cracks spread across the sky.
Everyone felt slightly relieved.
It had been blocked!
That world-destroying strike had been stopped.
Both sides had fallen into a stalemate.
Red and blue streams of energy continuously erupted from behind Zacian and Zamazenta like endless thrusters.
The balance slowly began to break.
The tremendous force produced by the eruption of energy torrents made it seem as though they had divine aid.
Bit by bit—
they pushed Eternabeam back upward from below.
They had done it!!
Seeing this scene, every viewer in the Pokémon world clenched their fists so hard their knuckles turned white!!!
Not only had they blocked it—
they were actually pushing Eternatus's Eternabeam back up toward the sky!
Viewers across the anime dimensions also shouted excitedly one after another.
"WOOOOOOO!!! Zacian is awesome!! Zamazenta is awesome!!" In the One Piece world, at Dadan's family in Windmill Village, Luffy jumped up excitedly.
"Good!! That's the way!" In the world of assassins, Da Fei and Xiao Fei were inwardly surging with excitement, but a sharp gaze made them shrink back into the corner again.
"Justice... will prevail!" In the world of Bleach, Ichigo Kurosaki was extremely stirred by the sight.
"I'm fired up! I'm fired up!!" In the Fairy Tail world, Natsu the Fire Dragon slapped the table loudly with both hands, flames spewing from his mouth.
"Zacian! Zamazenta! Well done! You saved the world!"
In the Dragon Ball world, on Earth, Bulma and the other Dragon Ball warriors clenched their fists fiercely. No one understood this feeling better than they did. Not long ago, they had gone through countless hardships and paid with Goku's life in order to protect Earth from the Saiyans.
Yamcha, Krillin, Piccolo, and the others stared at Zacian and Zamazenta in the video as they saved the world, expressions full of determination.
A year later, even stronger Saiyans would descend.
They too had to defeat powerful enemies once again and protect Earth!
Of course—
the fact that Zacian and Zamazenta held the line—
also left some people disappointed.
"What a pity. I really wanted to see what a shattered planet would look like." In the Dragon Ball world, Babidi, the evil wizard who created Majin Buu, wore a face full of regret.
"No chance to witness the wonder of a planet breaking apart." In the Super God world, Morgana looked disappointed.
"I truly wonder what a scene of planetary destruction looks like. A pity... it was blocked." In Las Noches, Aizen shook his head.
On King Kai's Planet—
"Zacian and Zamazenta can't stop it," Son Goku suddenly said.
"Why?" King Kai looked puzzled.
Goku scratched his head. "I don't know either. Just intuition, I guess. Whenever I'm in a beam struggle standing on the left or below, I've never won."
"If you stand on the left or below in a beam clash, you'll lose? What kind of logic is that? Nonsense. Zacian and Zamazenta..." King Kai had just started to say something when his eyes suddenly widened.
And not just him.
Everyone's expression changed.
The video continued...
They saw—
Eternatus let out a furious roar. The crimson core wrapped by its body exploded with an even more powerful red light.
Another surge of energy poured into the giant hand extending down from the crimson vortex cloud layer.
The five dragon-shaped fingers roared and howled.
Suddenly—
within the "cannon barrel" formed by those five closed fingers, the mass of energy inside began reacting violently.
Energy transfer!
Eternatus's Eternabeam visibly swelled by a whole size.
More energy was forced into the red pillar of light.
It was like a water pipe with half-open floodgates suddenly enduring an even fiercer torrent, visibly bulging from the pressure.
Zacian and Zamazenta, who had been slowly pushing upward, gradually came to a halt in midair.
No matter how much energy torrents blasted from their bodies—
they could no longer shake Eternabeam.
And then something even more terrifying happened.
Eternabeam began slowly forcing Zacian and Zamazenta downward toward the ground!
And the speed was increasing.
Straight toward the earth below.
Those who had hoped to see the grand sight of a shattered planet began cheering wildly.
Meanwhile, Professor Oak and the others' minds went completely blank.
The future...
Was the world going to be destroyed!?
"Pikachu, Gigantamax!!"
On the ground—
a Gigantamax Pikachu appeared.
It was Ash's Pikachu.
After resting for a while, its stamina had recovered, and the cooldown on Gigantamax had ended.
C-Could Ash and Pikachu have a way?!
Hope rose in many people's eyes.
"Use Electroweb with all your power!!"
"Pika—Pika——————Piii!!"
All of Pikachu's energy gathered at the tip of its tail without the slightest reservation.
A gigantic orb of lightning appeared, crackling with arcs of electricity and flashing with blazing energy.
Pikachu's tail lashed fiercely against the electric sphere.
The entire sphere shot out like a cannonball, blasting toward the descending Eternabeam to help Zacian and Zamazenta resist its divine might.
This was Pikachu's ultimate strike, pouring all of its energy into one attack.
After unleashing it, its body immediately shrank back down to normal size.
It was completely useless.
"The gap is too great. Even Ash and Pikachu can't do anything..." Professor Oak's gaze dimmed.
He had thought—
a miracle might happen.
It seemed...
that in the future, the world would indeed be destroyed by Eternatus.
"Charizard!! Gigantamax!! Use G-Max Wildfire!"
Leon's Charizard's Gigantamax cooldown had also ended, and it too unleashed a Gigantamax move to help resist Eternabeam.
But it still made no difference.
"Blastoise, Dynamax, use Max Geyser!"
"Ursaring, Dynamax, use Max Guard!"
"Centiskorch, Dynamax, use Max Flutterby!"
"Pidgeot, Dynamax, use Max Airstream!"
"...Use Max Wyrmwind!"
In the video—
one Pokémon after another transformed into Dynamax form. These were all the Pokémon of trainers who possessed Dynamax Bands.
One Dynamax move after another blasted upward.
And not only them—
those trainers who didn't have Dynamax Bands...
those wild Pokémon that had gradually regained their senses, after seeing the Eternabeam in the sky—
also used their own moves.
They contributed their own strength, wanting to stop it from falling.
Solar Beam...
Hyper Beam...
Shadow Ball...
Dark Pulse...
Aura Sphere...
Flamethrower...
Ancient Power...
Razor Leaf...
Countless moves shot into the sky.
It was like tens of thousands of fireworks rising from the earth.
All of those attacks collided with Eternabeam.
It was still useless.
But soon...
the earth trembled, as though ten thousand horses were galloping across it.
Everyone hurriedly looked.
It was an endless sea of trainers and wild Pokémon.
They had come from all across the Galar region.
There was no unnecessary talk.
They simply unleashed their own moves as well.
Energy surged into the sky, dyeing it with every color imaginable, dreamlike and magnificent.
Move after move smashed into Eternabeam, trying to halt its descent.
United as one.
This was the combined strength of the entire Galar region, gathered to oppose Eternabeam.
All those attacks collided with the beam together.
The falling Eternabeam shuddered slightly.
For the briefest instant—
it was actually halted.
In the Pokémon world...
all the viewers' eyes lit up.
Could it be... could it be...?!
But very quickly, their bodies stiffened, and the light in their eyes dimmed once more.
The Eternabeam, which had only been shaken for a moment—
continued falling.
Even the power of the entire Galar region was unable to stop it.
Eternabeam was getting closer and closer to the ground.
Five hundred meters...
Four hundred...
Three hundred...
One hundred...
It was about to slam into the earth.
The people of the Pokémon world closed their eyes in pain.
In the future—
the world was going to be destroyed.
Yet just as Eternabeam was less than fifty meters from striking the ground—
it suddenly collapsed and dispersed into countless strands of red energy.
Everyone froze.
What... what was happening????
High in the sky, the crimson clouds that had spread across more than half the world also vanished at the same time, revealing blue sky and the blazing sun.
Red light shimmered across Eternatus's body...
and it transformed back into its normal form, once more becoming a skeletal dragon hovering over the earth.
Its gaze paused briefly on Zacian, Zamazenta, Ash, and Pikachu.
Then its eyes swept across the land below, where dense masses of Pokémon and humans stood together.
"Roar~!"
A low growl came from its mouth.
This time, there was no anger in it.
Instead, it carried an indescribable meaning.
The red energy that had dispersed from Eternabeam drifted down like willow catkins, then sank into the earth and disappeared.
With a single beat of its wings, Eternatus turned into a crimson afterimage and departed.
The audiences across the anime dimensions were dumbfounded.
What exactly was going on?
At first, they had thought some even stronger divine beast had stepped in to stop Eternatus.
But now it seemed—
that was not the case at all.
At the final moment, Eternatus itself had stopped the attack.
[As Eternatus was formed from the "gigantification" stripped from all Pokémon in the super-ancient era, combined with the rules that stripped away gigantification—]
[it naturally knows that Pokémon in the super-ancient age were all abnormally violent and irritable.]
[Because that violent negative emotional power was also stripped out together with their "gigantic bodies," wild Pokémon illuminated by Dynamax energy would fall into a berserk state.]
[At the final moment—]
[seeing Pokémon of all different species, whether enemies or predator and prey, all working together against it—]
[compared to the world of the super-ancient era, where war raged endlessly at every moment—]
[this world seemed full of beauty and trust, and the entire world was flourishing.]
[The sight of all Pokémon united against it awakened Eternatus, allowing it to stop Eternabeam in time.]
Along with a soft and gentle BGM—
Eternatus departed.
The sky transformed into another curtain, replaying scenes from the super-ancient era, where countless races battled to the death without end.
And beneath that sky—
on the earth below—
whether humans, Pokémon, or even creatures at opposite ends of the food chain like Caterpie and Pidgeot—
all were celebrating together.
Every face was full of bright smiles.
They draped arms over each other's shoulders.
The camera slowly rose into the air...
The wind was gentle, the clouds were light...
Leaves rustled softly. Flowers swayed.
The sunlight was just right...
neither too harsh nor too weak...
Amid the gentle BGM—
the image slowly dimmed.
[Inventory of the Top Ten Strongest Legendary Pokémon]
[TOP 3: Apocalyptic Red Light, Ultimate Power]
[End!]
The audience across the myriad worlds woke as if from a dream.
So that was it.
Eternatus had stopped of its own accord after seeing humans and Pokémon living together in peace.
They felt a deep sense of emotion.
Thinking back to Eternatus's terrifying might—
even Zacian, Zamazenta, and the strength of the entire Galar region together had been unable to shake it in the slightest.
TOP 3—
truly deserved its place.
The people of the Pokémon world were filled with emotion.
It had been a close call, but the world had been saved.
The twists and turns in this video alone had already pushed their hearts to the limit. If it really happened in reality, who could endure that??
Rose absolutely had to be stopped, that bastard!
"I'll lock away the Wishing Stars. Trainers in the Galar region will not be allowed to Dynamax." Professor Magnolia of the Galar region said firmly.
Once too much Dynamax energy was used, Eternatus would awaken.
If enough trainers used Dynamax, that risk would also exist.
Better to simply ban Dynamax altogether!!
The ranking video for Eternatus came to an end.
The myriad worlds erupted into discussion.
"You damn insects! Why are the people of the Pokémon world all such bleeding hearts!!" Frieza roared furiously. He had just been excited a moment ago, wondering whether the destruction of a planet in another world might look different.
He had really been looking forward to it.
And yet that insect Eternatus had actually stopped attacking on its own!!
Whether it was Hoopa or Eternatus, both were idiots!
"Ahhhhhh! Insects, insects! Don't ever let me go to your world, or I'll make you understand the consequences of offending me, your great king!"
Frieza was so enraged that he flew straight out of his spaceship and blew up an uninhabited planet, turning it into cosmic fireworks.
As for the discussions in the other worlds, Rin Aokawa naturally knew nothing about them.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. Pokémon World Fortune Value: 100/100]
[World Fortune Value maxed out. New function unlocked.]
Forget the events happening in other worlds—
he did not even notice the new system message in his own inbox at first.
At this moment—
a tremendous upheaval was taking place on Blue Planet.
