The already dim environment grew darker still, the atmosphere thickening with an eerie, unsettling gloom.
Hovering midair was a figure wreathed in black and purple, its body adorned with sinister patterns.
Yet the massive black wings at its back remained utterly still.
It floated in the air without even needing to flap its wings.
Apart from its massive body, countless dark red gases surrounded it like lightning, flickering around its form.
This made its presence even more terrifying.
The three ferocious dragon heads extended their long tongues, flicking them like serpents.
The six sinister eyes brimmed with murderous intent, their deep gaze seemingly capable of devouring everything.
Its enormous size, combined with its overwhelmingly dark aura, instantly silenced the battlefield.
The moment it appeared, no creature dared to move recklessly!
This was none other than a Dynamaxed Hydreigon!
While only certain Pokemon could undergo Gigantamaxing, Dynamaxing was possible for every Pokemon.
Facing these cloud beasts immune to physical attacks, bringing out Genesect would be overkill.
Thus, Akira chose to summon his Dynamaxed Hydreigon instead!
.....
Was this the same Nen beast from before?
Indeed, it seemed Nen beasts could be enlarged as well!
Moreover, its presence felt even more overwhelming—was this due to the change in size?
Ging silently observed the colossal Hydreigon, his mind buzzing with unspoken astonishment.
Back when they faced the Brions, Hydreigon had made an appearance, but its size had been nowhere near this immense.
A larger body didn't just mean a more imposing aura—it also meant far more terrifying power!
"Tri Attack!"
Akira raised his hand, coldly issuing the command as he stared at the fearsome Hydreigon.
"ROAR—!"
Hydreigon let out a deep draconic roar, its tyrannical draconic might rapidly spreading outward.
In the next moment, three differently colored energy spheres simultaneously formed within the gaping maws of its three heads.
Hydreigon's body trembled slightly, like a massive volcano ready to erupt at any moment.
As aura poured into them, the energy spheres rapidly morphed, elongating into cylindrical beams.
From charging to firing, it all happened in the blink of an eye—the countless cloud beasts had no time to dodge, nor the strength to resist!
The beams were composed of red, yellow, and blue—scorching flames, freezing ice, and crackling electricity.
"BOOM—!"
Under the stunned gazes of the onlookers, the devastating Tri Attack struck the cloud beasts head-on, unleashing an earth-shaking explosion!
The beams stood like pillars of heaven, and the moment the cloud beasts touched them, they instantly dissipated into nothingness.
Hydreigon twisted its body, sweeping the beams across the sky.
Every single cloud beast was fortunate enough to experience the baptism of Tri Attack!
Witnessing this cataclysmic assault, the group couldn't help but shudder, their nearly accustomed hearts once again stirred.
After traveling with Akira for some time, they had a rough understanding of his capabilities.
Especially when it came to casually creating massive spectacles—they were almost used to it by now.
Whenever they encountered a problem they couldn't handle, Akira would resolve it in the shortest time possible.
If asked which incident left the deepest impression on them, they would undoubtedly say it was the time they were surrounded by an endless horde of sea beasts.
Kyogre's descent had made them realize just how overwhelming the power of a god could be.
Compared to that, this might not even be worth mentioning?
As the last of the cloud beasts was obliterated, Hydreigon finally ceased its Tri Attack.
The sky had now returned to normal, with no trace of the strange clouds left to be seen.
"Cough, cough. As expected of our leader Akira!"
"Effortlessly resolving things with just one move."
Beyond cleared his throat twice, steadying his emotions before speaking.
After a brief glance at the sky, Akira turned his gaze to the still-rattled group and said calmly.
"Take a short rest, then prepare to move forward."
*****
A day later,
Perhaps due to the appearance of the Hydreigon, the remainder of their journey proceeded unusually smoothly.
They encountered very few attacks from wild creatures.
But the more relaxed their guard became, the more likely they were to face unexpected changes.
"Swish~ Swish~"
The group continued trekking across the grassland, the surrounding scenery seemingly unchanging.
"Zzzzt~"
Standing on the grass, Ging surveyed their surroundings while expanding his En outward as a precaution.
Seeing no changes, he opened the helmet of his Safety Suit, revealing his unkempt face beneath.
Reaching into his pocket, Ging pulled out a few emerald-green leaves and casually tossed them into his mouth.
He immediately closed the helmet again, eating safely while a refreshing sensation spread throughout his body.
These leaves were incredibly invigorating, sharpening one's focus and revitalizing the mind.
"Ah~"
"Want some? They're pretty good."
Ging offered to Muheer, who glanced over from the other side.
At first glance, he looked like a suspicious uncle trying to lure some kid into eating a candy and kidnap them.
"No, thank you." Muheer's lips twitched slightly as he politely declined the offer.
"Tch, no appreciation for my kindness at all." Ging shook his head and sighed, falling silent.
"Hmm?"
"What's this?"
"Bugs?"
Golem's voice drew everyone's attention.
Just ahead of him, faint light flickered in midair.
These glowing spots were pure white, giving off a soft radiance, each about the size of a fingernail, clustered in a small group.
The sight immediately captured everyone's focus.
Truth be told, no one knew what creatures in the Dark Continent fed on, but every organism they encountered was larger than the last.
Such tiny creatures were extremely rare—likely some kind of flying insect.
Their diminutive size made them seem harmless, and no one reacted with alarm.
But the moment they entered a certain range around Golem and the others, the insects suddenly surged forward as if electrified!
The white lights instantly formed a bizarre swirling vortex, closing in on Golem and the others!
"Get out of the way!"
Muheer shouted urgently, but the insects moved too quickly—it was already too late to react.
Golem's hair stood on end as every cell in his body screamed a single warning:
He had to dodge!
