Under the analysis of the Eye of Truth, the "Stairway to the Stars" was no longer an ethereal speck of light, but a sophisticated structure composed of billions of stable energy nodes. Streams of pure and boundless natural energy originating from Earth were being drawn along this stairway, continuously flowing towards the other end of the passage.
This should have been a normal process of the world repairing itself.
But Lin Che's heart sank inch by inch as the energy dissipated.
His breathing stopped without warning at one point.
The pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a pinhead.
He "saw" it.
At the end of the [Sky-Gap], in the ultimate space, on that bizarre and chaotic other side that defies all physical laws.
A terrifying entity whose form cannot be described in words is silently suspended in the void.
It was entirely black, as if it were formed from the purest darkness and crystals, and its angular body reflected a cold light from distant stars.
Its very existence distorts the surrounding space and devours all light that approaches.
Necrozma.
That was a terrifying entity whose very name was enough to trigger the highest level of alert from the system.
At this moment, it is asleep.
But as the "Stairway to the Stars" was completed, and as a stable and massive torrent of energy from Earth crossed dimensional barriers and precisely flowed into its body...
A change is taking place.
In Lin Che's Eye of Truth, the energy reading representing Necrozma's life activity had been maintained at a near-horizontal low line, indicating deep dormancy.
But now, that line is beginning to climb upwards at a tiny, yet undeniable and determined angle!
It is drawing upon this energy.
It is...awakening!
"Om-"
A deep hum, not on a physical level but resounding directly in the depths of Lin Che's soul, caused him to tremble violently.
He "saw" that the enormous, dark shadow, on its long, crystalline limbs, had one of its "fingers" move very slightly.
It was just such a trivial action.
boom! ! !
The entire Ultimate Space, that vast and boundless dimensional rift connecting countless parallel worlds, began to tremble violently as a result!
Space is wailing, and the laws are in disarray.
Countless ultimate beasts that were weaving and drifting through it were instantly crushed into dust by this sudden shock.
An oppressive aura.
An indescribable, terrifying pressure that transcends the boundaries of life forms traveled precisely along the "Stairway to the Stars" across the thick dimensional barrier and an immeasurably vast spatial distance!
Inside the room, the air temperature seemed to plummet to freezing.
The water glass on the table began to emit a high-frequency, strained buzzing sound.
Lin Che felt his soul trembling, every cell screaming, conveying to him the most primal and pure fear.
It was a sense of insignificance and powerlessness in the face of natural enemies, no, in the face of "heaven" itself.
This oppressive force is enough to suffocate the world!
"It must be reported immediately!"
This thought flashed through Lin Che's mind, which was filled with fear, like lightning.
He suddenly sprang up from the sofa, the movement so violent that it knocked over the floor lamp next to him, making a loud, ear-piercing noise.
But he couldn't care less about that anymore.
He rushed to the table, grabbed the internally encrypted communicator, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Without the slightest hesitation or delay.
He used his highest privileges as a prospective member of the "Dragon's Spine" to bypass all intermediate steps and directly access the encrypted channel that represented the highest secrets of the China Alliance!
"drop--"
The signal is connected.
In the distant East, in Shanghai, at the Alliance's highest command center.
On the huge circular screen wall, energy fluctuation data from around the world are displayed in real time.
The Alliance Chairman, a man with graying temples but still sharp, eagle-like eyes, was holding a cup of hot tea, listening to his subordinates' report on the stabilization of the [Sky-Gap] energy in the Carlos region.
His face still held a hint of relief.
Suddenly, a red alert with the highest priority flashed frantically on the personal terminal in front of him.
The alarm was issued from the highest-encryption channel of "Dragon's Spine".
The chairman's eyes narrowed instantly.
He put down his teacup and quickly tapped the screen with his finger.
Lin Che's face, slightly pale with tension, appeared in the corner of the screen, accompanied by his hurried but still logically clear report:
"Chairman! A major change has occurred in [Sky-Gap]! The 'Star Staircase' constructed of stacked stones is supplying energy to an unknown entity beyond the ultimate space! The target codenamed 'Necrozma' is awakening! Repeat, Necrozma is awakening!"
"The dimensional shock triggered by its awakening has been preliminarily confirmed... its intensity far exceeds that of any known divine beast!"
"Request the immediate activation of the highest-level emergency response plan!"
Every word struck the heart of the league president like a heavy hammer.
His face turned deathly pale the moment he heard the report.
His hand holding the teacup trembled uncontrollably, spilling scalding tea, but he was completely unaware of it.
Necrozma!
He had seen this name in the oldest, taboo archives of the "Dragon's Spine".
It is the plunderer of all light, a living natural disaster that walks through the universe!
A thought flashed through the chairman's mind, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
This "Stairway to the Stars," this stable energy channel...
Necrozma's awakening purpose was not a passive energy attraction at all.
It intends to... descend upon Earth in person via this staircase!
Meanwhile, in Carlos's hotel room.
The moment he finished reporting and cut off communication, Lin Che's body slumped against the wall, as if all his strength had left him. 633
His brain, however, was working at an unprecedented speed under the stimulation of adrenaline.
Countless seemingly unrelated clues were forcibly connected, integrated, and pieced together by an invisible force at this moment!
Images flashed through his mind.
Deep within the dragon's lair in the Kunlun Mountains lies Jirachi, a creature that should have brought hope but has fallen into a thousand-year slumber, barely surviving only with the energy of the dragon vein.
The Lost Forest of the Carlos region, where Zernias, a symbol of life yet on the verge of withering, uses its last strength to suppress the power of death.
And then there are those legendary Pokémon that once shone brightly in historical records, but then inexplicably fell into silence or even disappeared without a trace...
why?
Why are they all in this weak state of continuous dormancy, near death, and needing external energy to survive?
A wild and audacious conjecture, never before conceived, sprouted and grew wildly in Lin Che's heart!
All of this may not be an isolated incident.
All of this points to the same source.
Necrozma!
What is happening is a "light plunder" that has spread throughout the entire universe and all dimensions!
It is devouring.
It is devouring the light of other worlds and the life essence of other divine beasts to make up for what it lacks!
This conjecture sent a chill down Lin Che's spine, a coldness shooting from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
He finally understood the nature of the crisis.
And finally, I gained a deeper, more chilling new understanding of the terror of Necrozma.
That was not simply destruction and annihilation.
That's a higher-dimensional...predation!
And the entire Earth, along with all life and mythical beasts, might just be... a sumptuous dinner in its eyes.
Chapter 103 I predicted your prediction!
An emergency internal video conference of "Dragon's Spine" was quickly convened within ten minutes of Lin Che reporting the intelligence.
A stream of deep blue data crisscrossed in the void, forming a solemn circular conference room. A dozen towering holographic projections lit up one after another, each representing the supreme power at the pinnacle of the Huaxia Alliance.
They are champions guarding their respective regions, marshals commanding vast armies, and the highest decision-makers in the league.
At this moment, these usually imposing and dignified figures, whose presence could shake the world, all had tense faces and unprecedented solemnity in their eyes.
There was only one core topic at the meeting.
Should we use the space-based weapon "Sword of the Dome," or gather the power of all champion-level experts and destroy the "Stairway to the Stars" that Lin Che reported, which connects the two worlds, at all costs?
The silence was ripped apart by a rough voice.
"It must be destroyed!"
Marshal "Iron Fist," representing the military, a champion known for his fiery temper and ruthless tactics, slammed his virtual fist heavily onto the conference table, creating a visible ripple in the data.
"This is inviting trouble! It's putting a knife to our throats! Are we going to wait until the enemy is at our gates before we regret it?"
