Chapter 385: The Flower Crown King Shows His Power
If possible, Luo Mu didn't want to play any tricks.
But looking at the incident involving the Emperor of the Crystal Tower.
If you don't use words to persuade, you won't be able to solve the most critical problem. Even if you force a solution, it will only leave behind troubles that may become more and more serious over time and a mess.
The famous philosopher Zhou Shuren once said that the greatest advantage of possessing force is that when the villain wants to force his fallacies and heresies on you, you can simply "say no" instead of standing there like a grandson and staring blankly as the villain feeds you his stupid ideas because you can't win the fight.
If you understand this sentence and practice it in the opposite direction.
Today, Luo Mu is relying on his own "force" to force Emperor Yan to change his mind, and at the same time he wants to enlighten Xiaomi through Emperor Yan.
After all, the root cause of this incident is that Xiaomi's "loneliness" awakened the unknown totems that resided in the wooden boards, just like Xiaomi's heart that was closed due to the disappearance of his father, creating this crystal tower that represents the thick wall of Xiaomi's heart.
The closed crystal petals on the outside represent Xiaomi's closed heart.
As long as Xiaomi has the thought of leaving here, the crystal petals will naturally bloom.
As long as Emperor Yan can leave here with Xiaomi, everything will be solved.
Looking at Emperor Yan who lowered his head, a line of tears slid down Xiaomi's cheeks. She clutched Emperor Yan's hair in grievance, acting like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum.
"I don't care, Xiaomi wants to leave with Dad!"
Luo Mu's previous few words not only directly broke Yan Di's defense, but also made Xiaomi, who had seen Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, Xiaozhi and others and understood how wonderful the outside world was, feel eager.
It would be nice if I could go outside with my dad, make lots of friends, and have lots of battles.
Yan Emperor was born from Xiaomi's dream world, and Xiaomi's wish naturally reached his heart directly.
After completing the repair, Emperor Yan slowly stood up. The majestic and domineering aura he had before completely disappeared, and he lowered his proud head towards Luo Mu.
"Xiaomi's wish is what I expect."
"But I was born with the power of unknown totems. Without them, I would not be able to preserve my form."
"Since you have made such a rebuke to me, you should have the power to change all this. Please help us."
"That's natural."
Luo Mu nodded slightly. He came here just for this act of willfulness.
Hanako also squatted down at this time and gently extended her hand to Xiaomi: "Let's leave here with everyone, Xiaomi."
"Um"
Xiaomi looked around timidly, responded with a sound as thin as a mosquito's whistle, took the hand that Hanako extended, and put her face against it.
“It’s so warm.”
Xiaomi, whose parents divorced when she was young, felt the touch of her mother's hand with some attachment.
At this moment, because of the pain caused by her father's disappearance and her parents' divorce, the wall of her heart completely melted away.
The entire crystal tower trembled slightly, and the crystal petals began to move slowly as if blooming.
Musashi, Kojiro, and Meow Meow looked at each other and rarely made trouble. Instead, they sighed and said in unison: "How heartwarming."
At this moment, something strange happened.
Suddenly, sharp crystals appeared one after another from the ground, and the crystallization phenomenon began to spread as if it was running wild.
With crystals popping up on both sides of their bodies, the three members of Team Rocket screamed in fear as they felt they were about to die.
Hanako quickly held Xiaomi in her arms, while Xiaozhi and Charizard, who had gotten a rest, looked around vigilantly.
"what happened!?"
Xiaoxia shouted somewhat collapsed.
Emperor Yan seemed to sense something, looked into the void, and said with certainty: "It seems to be related to the unknown totems!"
Professor Oak's voice also came from the communicator that Xiaozhi was wearing.
"It must be because they have been releasing their energy at full strength for too long. The unknown totems can no longer control their power. Even they themselves can't stop!"
Then, the distorted voice of Dr. Xiu Li's assistant sounded.
"The crystallization phenomenon that was originally calming down is spreading to the surrounding area at an extremely fast speed. Before long, even this Pokémon Center will be affected!"
"What!?"
Hearing the voice coming from the other end of the communicator, Xiaozhi and the others showed shocked expressions.
"Roar!"
Emperor Yan opened his mouth and spewed out flames, shattering the crystals into pieces and preventing them from threatening Xiaomi's safety.
Retracting the Thunder Drum, which was large in size, not flexible enough, and easily damaged by intensive attacks, Luo Mu turned over and rode on the Wind Speed Dog, pointing to the passage leading to the Crystal Tower and shouted, "There is an exit this way!"
As it spoke, with the help of Victini, Arcanine spewed out a terrifying column of fire, directly burning the large crystals blocking the exit.
This is one of the changes he made.
Unlike in the movies where you can only walk through the passage, you have to leave here through the main door inside the crystallized Snowden mansion, and then be stopped by unknown totems gathered at the door.
The escape hatch created by Arcanine's "Overheat" should be enough for Satoshi and the others to leave.
Under Luo Mu's command, the group ran quickly towards the exit. Once crystals appeared blocking the road, Charizard and Entei didn't even need to take action. A figure with green light and dazzling speed would directly shatter these blockers, ensuring that the road was always unobstructed.
The Charizard carrying Xiaomi took a deep look at the figure that was so fast that even its afterimage could hardly be seen, and once again made up his mind to dominate the entire Charizard Valley, and then move forward with Xiaozhi to become the world's number one Charizard!
With Victini's blessing, Arcanine is like a dump truck that kills whoever it destroys, constantly moving around at "super speed", without worrying about the serious physical consumption caused by using "super speed".
The Messenger Bird continuously releases blizzards to freeze the surrounding area, reducing the frequency of crystals appearing.
After running for nearly five minutes, Xiaozhi and the others finally saw the huge gap created by Luo Mu and Windy Hound.
Just as Luo Mu expected, there was no unknown totem guarding there.
The Rocket trio were really good at escaping, and they ran out first.
Seeing the three little white mice successfully leave and no unknown totem came to stop them, at Luo Mu's urging, Xiaozhi and the other two and Pikachu left one after another, followed by Charizard and Hanako carrying Xiaomi.
Looking at Yan Di who was standing still and not moving, Xiaomi seemed to realize something and stretched out her hand and cried, "Dad, don't!"
Entei looked at Xiaomi, who was taken down from Charizard's back by Hanako, with a complicated expression. Even if he wanted to promise to comfort Xiaomi, the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
Unlike before when it was able to leave the crystal tower and abduct Hanako with the support of the power of the unknown totems, now the power of the unknown totems has gone out of control, and it can also feel that its source of energy is gradually disappearing.
Therefore, as long as you leave the range of the crystal tower, it will disappear completely.
As a father, it does not want to deceive Xiaomi and does not want to make promises that it is uncertain whether it can be fulfilled.
At this time, Luo Mu, who had no intention of leaving, patted Yan Di's broad back, stroked Yan Di's thick hair without leaving a trace, walked to Xiaomi who was struggling in Hua Zi's arms, squatted down and said gently: "Can you trust me? I will send your father back to you intact."
"Let's leave with Aunt Hanako now. If Xiaomi is here, as long as Xiaomi is in a safe place, your father will be able to use his power without any worries."
Xiaomi stared at Luo Mu in a daze for a moment, then looked at Yan Di with her big, watery eyes and asked, "Really?"
Yan Di was silent for a second and nodded slightly.
"As long as it is what you expect, Xiaomi, no matter what is blocking me, I will overcome all difficulties and obstacles and come back to you."
Xiaomi is a very good child. Since Emperor Yan said so, she will believe it and wait with hope.
"I'll be waiting for you outside, Dad and big brother. I believe you."
Xiaomi was no longer distressed, but was obediently carried out of the crystal tower by Hanako.
Before leaving, Huazi looked at Luo Mu with concern and said softly, "You two must not act stubbornly."
Watching the backs of Hanako and Xiaomi walking away under the escort of Satoshi and his friends, as well as the messenger bird and Arcanine specially sent by Romu, Entei withdrew his gaze and looked at Romu who was leisurely feeding Victini to restore his strength, waiting for his speech.
He wanted to know how this powerful man who suddenly appeared mysteriously could accomplish everything he had said before.
"Bi Mi~"
After finishing his meal, Victini had almost replenished the energy he had consumed.
Luo Mu let it stay on his head for a while, looked at Emperor Yan who was quietly waiting on the side, and said apologetically: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
"It doesn't matter to me."
Yan Di shook his head, and a raging flame gathered in his mouth, violently smashing the crystals that attacked him and Luo Mu, and continued to speak in a way that went against common sense. "I want to leave here and live with Xiaomi forever."
"I know." Luo Mu nodded slightly, "I was the one who came up with your idea, so I will also be responsible for solving the problem for you."
"Let's go and find those unknown totems. They are the source of your birth. If you want to survive for a long time, they are indispensable."
"However, this is after all a place built by the unknown totems to help Xiaomi forget the pain after his parents disappeared. If Xiaomi leaves here, their mutations may intensify. In order to prevent unexpected situations, we have to speed up."
Since there was no one left, Luo Mu was too lazy to pretend and just revealed that he even knew why Yan Emperor was born.
Emperor Yan looked at Luo Mu deeply, but said nothing in the end. He just lay on the ground and motioned Luo Mu to come up.
It knows where the unknown totems are.
After Luo Mu got on his back, Yan Di, who was carrying him, whispered to Luo Mu to hold on tight, then rushed into the crystal tower with nimble movements.
Emperor Yan brought Luo Mu to the beginning of everything, the place where the Crystal Tower incident first occurred.
The centerpiece of the living room at Snowdon House.
This is the source of crystallization, so the degree of crystallization here is the deepest. Everything is crystals of various shapes, and it even makes people feel like they have entered a different world.
A large number of unknown totems were hovering in the air in the center of the living room. An invisible force field enveloped them, and mysterious energy was flowing through them. No one knew what kind of power was contained in them.
Looking at these unknown totems, Emperor Yan stopped and had a complicated look in his eyes.
Luo Mu rolled over and left Yan Di's broad back, and as he stood firmly on the ground, he called out softly, "Mi Mi Qiu."
As Yan Di looked surprised, two giant shadow claws emitting an ominous aura suddenly emerged from Luo Mu's shadow, and then Mimikyu crawled out of Luo Mu's shadow.
Instead of asking Victini to directly strengthen Mimicry Hill, Luo Mu pointed to the area where the unknown totems gathered, as if to verify his idea, and commanded: "Aim at the center, Shadow Claw!"
As soon as Luo Mu finished speaking, Mimikyu leaped high like an arrow from a bow, and the pair of shadow claws that made Yan Di's eyelids twitch slammed hard on the force field barrier that the unknown totems automatically put up when they felt threatened.
next moment.
Bang-!
In the violent explosion, Mimikyu broke through the smoke and returned to Luo Mu, but its neck was tilted to the right, obviously because the Painted Skin's defense had been broken.
The Unknown Totem isn't doing well either.
Even though it was being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye, a large hole was torn in the force field by Mimikyu's Shadow Claw.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mimikyuu."
Knowing what was going on, Luo Mu touched Mimiqiu's head, and waited for it to return to its own shadow before turning his head to look at Yan Di.
At this time, Emperor Yan was shocked by Mimiqiu's strength.
You know, even if it uses all the remaining energy in its current body, it may only be able to barely break through the force field formed by these unknown totems.
And the price is one's own disappearance.
It was obvious that Mimikyuu had some strength left, and the Pokémon that could only enhance the power of its partner did not make a move.
Emperor Yan felt that if Luo Mu was willing, he could even unilaterally break through the force field formed by these unknown totems and simply overturn the table to end it all.
"Cough cough."
Luo Mu coughed lightly, drawing Yan Di's attention back. Then he looked at the unknown totems that showed painful expressions due to the runaway power, and asked again.
"You're sure you want to stay with Xiaomi, right?"
Yan Di nodded solemnly: "I am sure."
Luo Mu nodded slightly and asked with a smile, looking at the phone in his trouser pocket which had been dialing a number at some point.
"That's it. This father really wants to stay with his daughter. Are you willing to help him?"
There was silence for a moment, and then a voice containing laughter was heard.
"Guan um. Moo-ji-ji."
next moment.
Riding a pitch-black horse, the former king with a dignified look crossed the space and appeared beside Luo Mu.
King of the bud crown, come on!
Since he had decided to help Emperor Yan, Luo Mu had already thought about it before coming here.
According to the strength of the force field of the unknown totems in the theatrical movie, with me here, I am 100% sure that I can break through it without letting Yan Di sacrifice himself.
But once the unknown totems collapsed, Yan Emperor would be like an unsupported castle in the air, shattered at the slightest touch.
It is absolutely impossible to achieve a perfect ending by force alone, so on the way here, Luo Mu asked through messages if there was any way to let Yan Di stay, since he could not use telepathy and the King of Flower Crown.
The Bud Crown King said there was a way.
It seemed that because of the appearance of the Rape Crown King, the power of the unknown totems, which felt tremendous pressure, showed signs of further outrage. With a buzzing sound, the space seemed to shatter, and the dark vortex began to expand.
The Flower Crown King narrowed his eyes slightly and understood the essence of the object.
"Space Collapse"
As the dark vortex continued to expand, the Bud Crown King riding on the Spirit Horse showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he glanced at Luo Mu and Entei and said in a deep voice: "In the past, before I ruled Galar, I saw a group of strange people."
"They have a very deep connection with these Pokémon called "Unknown Totems". Through communicating with them, I learned some of the characteristics of the unknown totems."
"In addition to the countless unknown totems living in the cracks of time and space in the legend, the unknown totems in this world all exist in this world using objects engraved with ancient language as carriers."
"My friend, you should know what I want to say, right?"
Luo Mu's eyes wandered in this crystallized hall, and soon locked onto a crystal.
Inside that crystal, there were about 26 woodcut panels sealed inside.
Luo Mu said firmly: "So, we need these woodcuts. They are the key to keeping Emperor Yan."
"Not bad." The Lei Guan King looked at Luo Mu with appreciation and added, "I have used my spiritual energy to detect its nature. According to expectations, it only needs to meet three conditions for it to stay."
Yan Di's heart tightened. He didn't even notice that the Flower Crown King had used his mental power to detect him.
Tightening the reins in her hands, the Rape Crown King gave the final answer.
"The first condition is that it has a strong desire to stay. The unknown totem will be affected by the strong desire."
"The second condition is to stop the unknown totems from running wild and calm the violent forces."
"Condition three: Based on the woodcut, let the unknown totems that were originally residing on it return to it, and return the other unknown totems that were summoned to their areas."
Luo Mu was a little surprised. According to King Lei Guan, handling this matter indeed requires a variety of conditions, as well as the right time, place and people to achieve a perfect ending.
Taking a deep breath and patting Victini on his head, Luo Mu said softly, "I'm counting on you."
"Timmy~"
Victini flew over to the Bud Crown and touched it with his little hands, injecting it with infinite energy for all uses.
The Lei Guan Dynasty nodded slightly: "I will finish it as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, the look in the eyes of the Crowned King suddenly changed.
As the Spirit Horse neighed loudly, its entire body was enveloped by a powerful vortex of spiritual energy. Aiming at the hundreds of unknown totems, the Rape Crown King clenched his right hand and said calmly, "Seal!"
In an instant, spiritual power swarmed in under the control of the Lotus Crown King, violently breaking the protective force fields of the unknown totems, wrapping them up like a huge spiritual power ball, accurately cutting off the power connection between each unknown totem.
Immediately afterwards, the Leiguan Dynasty blasted out a star shatter with blocked power in the void, breaking through the weak space-time barrier caused by the existence of unknown totems.
"put!"
Following the breath, the Flower Crown King threw the unknown totems that originally belonged to the cracks in time and space into it.
Next, there were only twenty-six unknown totems whose pressure suddenly dropped and whose eyes were filled with joy and gratitude.
The Bud Crown King smiled, untied the spirit ball, and spoke again: "Return!"
Sensing that the blockade had been lifted, twenty-six unknown totems happily flew into the wooden block that was suspended under the telekinesis control of the Crown of Lotus.
Containment Completed!
