Chapter 666: He is Even Greater Than the Gods
Facing the two Primal gods alone.
Kazuya truly didn't feel the slightest bit of fear.
In his previous life in Alamos Town.
With the Creation Trio, Darkrai, Cyrus, Cynthia... a massive multi-faction free-for-all, he hadn't backed down either.
Let alone today's situation.
Whether he could beat them or not, he'd fight first and see.
Besides, after testing Kyogre's level just now, Kazuya felt that taking on two at once wasn't a problem.
Originally, his target was Kyogre, who had been punched out of the water.
But at this moment, Groudon was closer.
So Kazuya's target instantly shifted.
Facing his approach.
Groudon and Kyogre's reactions were almost identical: starting off with a Flamethrower, inviting a beam struggle.
Unfortunately.
Kazuya didn't play along.
He gently spun his body.
Dodging this aggressive Flamethrower.
Immediately after, a rapidly spinning golden orb appeared in his hand, which he grasped and slammed into the side of Groudon's face.
Roar!!
The rapidly spinning Focus Blast ground against Groudon's face.
Sparks flew everywhere.
Finally, Groudon couldn't withstand it and toppled to the side.
The advantage of a Mega Charizard X being a mixed attacker was shown at this moment.
Groudon's Special Defense was lacking.
Kyogre's Physical Defense was lacking.
No matter which one he fought.
Mega Charizard X could launch targeted attacks.
If Kazuya had chosen to evolve into Mega Charizard Y back then, his damage output against Kyogre right now would be significantly reduced due to a lack of powerful physical attacks.
"Roar!"
After letting out a cry of pain, Groudon stepped heavily into the nearby ocean.
But unlike Regigigas.
Its body constantly secreted magma.
The moment its foot stepped into the seawater, the magma underfoot immediately reacted with the seawater, forming a rock layer solid enough to stand on.
Splash!
Nearby, Kyogre had crashed back into the sea.
It poked its head out of the water, its red eyes glaring at Kazuya.
Beside it, Groudon also climbed up from the ground, immediately locking its gaze on the black dragon.
At this moment.
The Sea and Land brothers, who had fought from ancient times to the present, reached a silent consensus.
Solve this stronger enemy in front of them together!
Rumble!
The sound of magma erupting came from Groudon's body.
The red-yellow lines on its body that secreted magma suddenly lit up, and countless streams of magma erupted from them, shooting towards the sky.
After reaching their apex, the magma plummeted towards Kazuya in mid-air, like guided missiles.
Whoosh!
The sound of churning ocean currents came from Kyogre's body.
The blue-white lines on its body also burst with blinding light, and the surrounding seawater continuously churned, gradually converging into a monstrous tsunami.
The tsunami leaped high, like a fierce tiger on the sea, pouncing towards Kazuya's direction.
Eruption and Water Spout.
Two moves with seemingly unremarkable names.
Were actually special moves in the Fire and Water types with a base power as high as 150.
"..."
Kazuya glanced at the magma in the sky and the waves below, but finally fixed his gaze on the sun hanging high in the sky.
His current location was within Groudon's Desolate Land.
Water-type moves couldn't be used.
The sunlight, however, was quite intense.
Kazuya raised his hand and condensed a giant blue fireball, hurling it fiercely into the air.
The Sacred Fire swallowed the countless streams of magma.
As the signature move of another primary Legendary, it certainly held its weight.
As for the tsunami on the other side...
Kazuya didn't put up any defense, suddenly accelerating and crashing headlong into it.
The monstrous tsunami swallowed him.
Regigigas, standing in the back, felt its heart jump.
But the situation quickly changed.
Bang! Bang!
Two muffled thuds echoed between the sky and the sea.
The black dragon crashed out of the tsunami, sending Groudon flying with a heavy Stomp, and then slapping Kyogre away with a Dragon Tail.
It was quite ironic.
The God of the Earth, Groudon, being countered by a Ground-type move.
This scene stunned Regigigas, and also stunned the flock of dragons watching from the shore of the grassland.
"Big Brother is even greater than the gods."
Goodra's eyes were full of little stars.
The current Kazuya, in his eyes, was exactly the same as the dragon who fought the swarm of snakes alone in the swamp back then.
Big Brother had always been like that.
He had never changed.
"I think so too."
The Rampardos Alpha nodded.
He was the first dragon subjugated by the Dragon Clan through force, and the one who always remained loyal to Kazuya's martial prowess.
Unlike Goodra.
He didn't care about Kazuya's moral character.
After all, that wasn't what he came for in the first place.
Bastiodon wasn't as talkative, just watching the battlefield with concern.
As the dragon species that had followed Kazuya the longest, he thought that apart from the second and third in command, no tribe understood Kazuya better than them.
They didn't care about Kazuya's moral character or strength.
In their eyes.
Kazuya was family.
Kazuya didn't know what the dragons on the shore were thinking at the moment.
Looking at Groudon and Kyogre standing together.
Kazuya felt more like a villain.
Two originally hostile heroes chose to join forces against a powerful enemy when facing the evil dragon, eventually turning into a frenemy relationship?
"Heh."
Kazuya grinned, flapped his wings, and dove down.
Thinking about those things was useless.
Pressing the advantage was more practical.
The two ancient gods had likely been fighting for an unknown amount of time; the fact that they could use moves like Water Spout and Eruption in battle ironically indicated their poor condition.
After all, those two moves only deal high damage when the user has high HP.
Especially Kyogre.
It was the first to be targeted by Kazuya, taking a combo of punches underwater.
Right now, the base of its tail was probably jelly.
Facing Kazuya's rapid approach.
Groudon and Kyogre seemed to not have learned their lesson, one spitting out a Fire Blast and the other a Hydro Pump.
What a pity.
If Life Return could shrink a body size to the desired target in an instant.
Then the value of this move would increase significantly.
Like right now.
Kazuya could use Life Return to instantly shrink, thereby easily evading the attacks of the two gods.
It was just a pity that Life Return couldn't do that.
With his hundred-meter body, facing these two attacks arriving simultaneously.
He either had to tank them or meet them with a move.
If he wanted to dodge.
He could only forcefully twist to the side.
But that would inevitably delay Kazuya's forward speed, and even forcefully alter his movement plan.
"Roar!!"
Boom!
A Dragon Pulse radiated outwards, detonating the Fire Blast prematurely.
The incoming wave of fire and pillar of water.
Couldn't stop Kazuya's advancing steps.
In the blink of an eye, he shuttled between the two gods. Facing the glares they cast at him, Kazuya chose to respond with his sharp claws.
Slash! Slash!
Two cold glimmers flashed.
"Roar!"
"Ooom!"
Deep, bloody claw marks were left on both Groudon and Kyogre's bodies.
Kyogre was the first to give way.
It rolled over to the side, and after kicking up massive splashes on the sea, it floated belly up.
On the other side, Groudon still had some strength left.
It stomped a foot on the ground.
Precipice Blades.
Earthy-yellow light shot along the ground straight into the ocean.
Finally, on the sea surface below Kazuya, a sharp giant rock wrapped in magma directly thrust out.
Kazuya had been on guard against Groudon's signature move.
But unfortunately, his body size was too massive.
Accustomed to operating in a ten-meter body year-round, his control over this massive frame wasn't quite there.
He dodged the critical parts.
But his tail was hit by the Precipice Blade.
Fortunately, this stab only made Kazuya feel a moment of pain, without any other effects.
Normally.
Once Precipice Blades hit, it would cause an explosion at the tip, dealing secondary damage.
But Kazuya had the Earth Plate, making him immune to Ground-type damage.
When the Precipice Blade poked him, it didn't trigger any energy reaction, so no explosion occurred.
As for this moment of pain.
It was harmless.
From the start of the battle until now, Kazuya hadn't taken much damage from moves, so his condition was still relatively intact.
He turned around, preparing to continue dealing with Groudon.
But he saw that Regigigas, who had been standing on the sidelines as a spectator, had already run to Groudon's side.
This sudden change. Let alone Groudon.
Even Kazuya didn't expect it.
He watched Regigigas raise its fist and smash it into Groudon's head.
Mega Punch!!
"Regi!!"
Regigigas's roar echoed between heaven and earth.
It hated fighting.
In the past.
It didn't know what the meaning of having such powerful strength was.
But after continuously seeing Kazuya being attacked.
Regigigas realized something.
Compared to fighting.
It hated seeing its friend get hurt even more.
If it had to choose one of the two.
Then it would be better to use this strength to protect its friend!
A fist larger than Groudon's head smashed onto its face.
The next moment.
Groudon, like a toy thrown by a child, instantly flew hundreds of meters away into the sky.
It finally took flight!
"Roar~"
Accompanied by a cry of pain.
Groudon finally followed in Kyogre's footsteps, its eyes turning into spirals as it lost the ability to battle.
Boom!
Splash~
Groudon crashed into the ocean.
Seeing this, Kazuya scratched his head, glanced at Regigigas first, then turned and flew over to fish Groudon out.
The unconscious Groudon seemed unable to secrete magma, so falling into the sea would only make it sink.
Just like Regigigas.
The ocean couldn't drown them, but they might have to swim back to shore.
After fishing Groudon out of the sea, Kazuya tossed it onto the rock layer on the sea created earlier.
"Why did you suddenly attack? Didn't you say you didn't want to fight?"
Kazuya turned his head and looked at Regigigas, showing a confused expression.
He had originally given up hope on Regigigas making a move.
Of course.
Another point was that he found he didn't need Regigigas's help to beat these two idiots.
"Mhm."
Regigigas nodded woodenly, and then said, "But I wanted to see you get hurt even less."
For the first Pokémon to treat it with a friendly attitude, Kazuya was very important in Regigigas's heart.
Especially over these past seven years.
Kazuya teaching it all sorts of things made him akin to a mentor and a friend.
Regigigas respected him and liked him.
"Is that so."
Hearing this, Kazuya smiled, raised his hand, and patted its head.
Strength used to protect.
Is a good thing.
