Knights of the Elf World

Chapter 272 The Disadvantages of Super Power

"The Dark Lugia at that time caused too much harm to the residents of Yuanzhu City. In their eyes, Lugia was no longer a god who brought blessings, but a monster that destroyed everything. Therefore, they erased that period of history and made it into the legend that is now widely circulated. And those sea tribes who still believed in Lugia also left Yuanzhu City with Lugia and went to the Orange Islands." The King of Phoenix said slowly.

"I see. I roughly understand it now." Xichen nodded. Lugia left Yuanzhu City because he was afraid of hurting the residents of Yuanzhu City again and the fear of the citizens of Yuanzhu City. And Ho-Oh was completely disappointed with humans after that incident and chose to disappear from the world's sight.

"So you came to me just to let me know about this history?" Xichen felt that it would definitely not be so simple for the King of Phoenix to come to him. No matter how shocking this history was, it was already a thing of the past.

"This is just a by-product." The Phoenix King flapped his wings, and flames burst out from his body, directly illuminating the entire underground space.

"Uh." The strong flash made Xichen's eyes a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his eyes. At this moment, a dark figure suddenly emerged from Xichen's shadow. After the figure appeared completely, the Phoenix King also stopped flashing.

The figure was short and humanoid, and seemed to be made of smoky grey shadows. The area around its face resembled a helmet. On top of the helmet were two curved horns, and there was a small horn between the ears. Its eyes were orange-red with yellow pupils, and there was a yellow oval mark above each eye. There was a small lump on the wrist of each arm. There was a smoking collar around its neck, and a shadow on each foot. It was none other than the legendary examiner of the Rainbow Hero, and one of the subordinates of the Ho-Oh, the mythical Pokémon Machado!

"Masha!" Mashado knelt on one knee in front of the Phoenix King.

"Machado?!" Xichen turned around when he heard the noise and said in surprise. Machado just came out from his own shadow?

"It seems that you also know Machado." The Phoenix King was also a little surprised. You know, Machado would not show up before the Rainbow Hero appeared. "But this is good, so I don't have to introduce it again, Xichen. The reason I summoned Machado is that I want it to follow you."

"Follow me? Why?" Xichen asked doubtfully, "I have no shortage of ways to protect myself now."

"Xichen, you are really good!" The Ho-Oh did not answer Xichen's words, but said with satisfaction. You know, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably have fainted if he asked Machado to follow him, but Xichen's first reaction was to ask himself why. This shows that Xichen is not the kind of person who will be tempted by legendary beasts and mythical Pokémon. At least in terms of quality, Xichen is not inferior to the Rainbow Brave whom he chose.

"What's good?" Xichen scratched his head, somewhat confused. He really didn't need a mythical Pokémon like Mashado.

"Nothing." Phoenix King shook his head and continued, "The reason why I let Machado follow you is not just to provide you with a safety net, but also to better observe the Rainbow Warrior. I decided to arrange a Rainbow Trial for him after his trip is over."

"Is Xiaozhi's Rainbow Trial going to start so soon?" Xichen murmured, "It's inconvenient to see Xiaozhi because of this."

"Yes."

"Okay, I understand. Then let Machado follow me. I believe Xiaozhi will not let Machado down." Xichen nodded and agreed to Ho-Oh's commission.

"Thank you, then I have finished my commission. Xichen, do you have anything else to ask?" The Phoenix King did not have the attitude of a god of life at all. He bowed slightly to Xichen and then asked Xichen.

"What I want to ask is, why do you want to help me like this?" Xichen asked the question buried in his heart: "Is it because I am the messenger of Arceus?"

"Yes, and no." The Phoenix King nodded and shook his head and said, "I help you not only because you are the one chosen by Lord Arceus, but also because you are our hope. You are the hope chosen by all of us divine beasts with divine duties!"

"I, am hope?"

"Yes, Lord Arceus should have already told you that a terrifying existence is about to awaken. Not only is its power the same as Lord Arceus, but the dark power it releases can also pollute us divine beasts." Phoenix King said seriously.

"Arceus also told me this. There will be many dark Pokémon in the future. Even with the laws in place, you won't be able to resist them?" Xichen said in a deep voice.

"The power of destruction is the same as Lord Arceus' power of creation. We cannot resist it at all. We will become like Dark Lugia and fall into darkness. At that time, Arceus will be restrained by that terrifying existence, and we will destroy the world without anyone to stop us. Therefore, we chose you who are outside the world. I wonder if you have discovered that the special existence in you can purify that power."

"I have the power of purification?" Xichen looked at his hands: "But, I thought that was your power."

"The law of life can only suppress it, but it can never purify that power." Phoenix King explained: "The only one who can purify it is Lord Arceus. Now, Lord Arceus has given his power to you. What we have to do is to wait until you need it and give it to you. Now my mission is complete."

"So that's it."

"However, although Lord Arceus's power is strong, it also has a disadvantage." The Phoenix King suddenly said: "It will make you gradually lose your humanity. I believe you should have already felt it."

"The power of overcoming will destroy my humanity?!" Xichen was shocked.

At this time, Chaomeng also appeared, looked at Xichen worriedly and said: "I reminded you before, but I didn't expect that it was your humanity that was gradually disappearing."

Xichen also remembered that Mewtwo asked him if he felt something was missing.

"God of Man-Made, nice to meet you." Ho-Oh greeted Mewtwo, who snorted coldly. Ho-Oh didn't care and continued to say to Xichen, "But this drawback is not irreversible. Once you truly master this power and truly turn it into your own power, there will be no problem. Lord Arceus is like this."

"I will try my best to master the power of super-control." Xichen was a little scared when he thought about how he would treat the people closest to him after he lost his humanity.
