Upon hearing Ash shout out the names of the two Treasure Pearls, Cyrus's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "That's right, with these two Treasure Pearls, the Space-Time Gods are now the most obedient blades in my hands."
He paused, a cold glint passing through his gaze.
"I heard that you, kid, can summon the legendary Rayquaza to back you up. If Rayquaza really comes, it could be a bit troublesome."
As he said this, Cyrus's mouth slowly curled into a sinister smile.
"So I specially prepared this graveyard for you!"
He spread his arms wide, surveying the gray, chaotic space, as if showing off his proudest creation.
"The place you are in now is the space opened by Palkia's own hands."
"Here, time and space are dictated by me."
"In this isolated cage, no information waves can be transmitted, so... even if you want to summon Rayquaza, you can't."
"And that bothersome Cynthia, she's isolated outside too. This time, you can say you're completely alone, kid."
Cyrus slowly restrained his smile, leaving only cold obsession in his sunken eye sockets.
"So, obediently hand over Giratina. If you willingly do so, I can spare your life."
Ash took a deep breath and protected Misty and the others by his side.
"In your dreams!!" His refusal was resolute, without a hint of hesitation.
Cyrus lightly shook his head, a hint of regret flashing across his face.
"What a pity."
"If you obediently handed over Giratina, I could have spared your life."
"Even though that life would disappear along with the new world I create soon, at least you could live a few more days."
"What's the point of your stubbornness?"
Ash's face darkened: "New world?"
He stared at Cyrus, asking word by word: "What exactly do you intend to do with Giratina's power?"
Cyrus slowly spread his arms, looking up at the gray void, as if embracing a supreme treasure.
"Reshape the world."
His voice carried a fervent intensity.
"I will use the power of the Space-Time Gods to completely erase this world and create an entirely new one."
"Everything in this world, mountains, rivers, cities, life... everything will turn to nothing in my new world."
Ash's brows furrowed tightly.
"And after you create the new world?" He pressed, "What will you gain? What has this world done to deserve being destroyed by you?"
Cyrus's face suddenly darkened.
"Someone like you, who has been smooth sailing from the very beginning, how could you possibly understand?" His tone turned cold, "What this world has done to me no longer matters."
"What's important is that in the new world, everything will be under my control."
"In that world, I will be the sole ruler, I will be the Creator God!"
Upon hearing these words, only one thought remained in Ash's mind.
This person has completely lost his mind.
Trying to reason with someone obsessed to the point of madness is purely a waste of breath.
Ash no longer said much, his hand brushed against his waist, several Pokeballs appeared in his hand, and were thrown out.
He didn't release all his Pokemon.
A flash of light, and Gardevoir, Lucario, and Mewtwo appeared on the field.
Noctowl, Greninja, and the Typhlosion that evolved from Cyndaquil over the past two months remained in their Pokeballs.
This was his current Pokemon lineup.
Among these Pokemon, only Gardevoir and Lucario could actually contribute in a Divine-level battle.
As for Noctowl, Greninja, and Typhlosion, their strength wasn't sufficient for this level yet, bringing them out would just be a waste of effort.
Along with Pikachu on his shoulder, Mewtwo in its Pokeball, and Giratina already present.
This was all the high-level combat power Ash could muster at the moment.
Cyrus scanned Ash's lineup with interest, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
"Impressive, to be so young and have such a powerful group of Pokemon. Given time, you might really become the strongest Trainer in this world, achieving unprecedented feats."
He paused, that appreciation quickly replaced by coldness.
"But alas, you have no future."
Ash grinned: "Whether I have a future or not isn't up to you! The future of me and my partners will be created by us!"
Dawn, standing behind Ash, was already rendered speechless by the scene before her.
She hadn't joined Ash's team for long and knew nothing about Legendary Beasts or Divine Domain Level.
Yet even so, the terrifying pressure emitted by those two behemoths floating in the void made her breathing difficult.
Brock's expression was also solemn, as he slightly moved in front of the few girls, even though he knew that in such a level of battle, his presence wouldn't make any difference.
But as a gentleman, he couldn't let the girls stand in front!
Ash didn't waste words, first raising his right hand.
The Key Stone on his wrist suddenly exploded with a dazzling rainbow light.
Inside the Pokeball, Mewtwo's body also manifested a MEGA Evolution Stone, lighting up with the same brilliant radiance.
