"return!"
The chairman's voice became incredibly stern, with a metallic quality, as if trying to pull him back from the brink of madness.
But, it was too late.
The ghostly figure had transformed into an arrow released from a bow, completely tearing apart the fragile defensive formation that the team had just established.
It's now!
Lin Che's pupils suddenly contracted, and his brain's processing speed was pushed to its limit at this moment.
In his vision, the gap torn open by the ghostly figure's reckless charge was no longer a simple opening.
That was the gateway to death.
He could clearly "see" what would happen next—three pheromones would burst through the gap at a speed that was completely beyond the reaction of human nerves. They wouldn't care about the Avenger charging at the front; instead, they would use their extreme speed to instantly tear the entire formation to pieces.
Then came a one-sided, predictable massacre.
Defeat them one by one.
completely annihilated.
These two words exploded in his mind, cold and devoid of any warmth.
Time allows for no hesitation, not even a fraction of a second.
"Hakron, [Swiftness] followed by [Ice Wind]!"
Lin Che's voice was frighteningly calm, without a trace of emotion, yet it possessed the decisive power amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
The moment the command was given, a streak of blue lightning shot out from his side!
Hakron's target was not the pheromones in the distance.
Its silhouette traced a straight line in the air, precise and ruthless, directly blocking the path of the Heavenly King's charge.
That wasn't persuasion, that was physical obstruction!
Immediately afterward, before the Heavenly King could react, a powerful current of cold air, visible to the naked eye and mixed with countless ice crystals, suddenly spewed out from the mouth of the Hakulong!
call--!
Extreme low temperatures swept across the battlefield in an instant. The cold air did not directly hit the Pheromosa, but instead slammed heavily onto the ground in front of them.
Click! Click!
Large swaths of solid frost condensed and spread at a visible speed, turning that originally solid alien land into a smooth and fragile ice rink.
The three Ultimate Beasts, whose pride lay in their speed, faltered slightly in their forward charge. Their limbs, designed for ultra-high-speed movement, were rendered much less advantageous on the ice, where there was no foothold.
opportunity!
"Everyone, return to the aircraft immediately!"
The Chairman's voice seized this fleeting opportunity, and the order to retreat was decisively issued.
The team retreated in an orderly manner amidst extreme tension, with each person entrusting their back to their teammates, and ultimately returned to the aircraft safely.
The hatch closed, isolating the strange and dangerous world outside.
Inside the aircraft, the atmosphere was oppressively cold.
The low hum of the engine made the space seem even more deathly silent. No one spoke; only the heavy breathing of a few team members and the faint beeping of medical equipment could be heard.
The league chairman stood silently, neither looking at the data on the screen nor issuing any further instructions.
His gaze pierced through the crowd, like two icy blades, fixed firmly on the Heavenly King codenamed "Ghost Shadow."
The ghostly figure lowered its head, its hands tightly clutching its elf that had just received emergency treatment. Its body was still trembling slightly, whether from lingering fear or from lingering anger, it was hard to tell.
"'Ghostly Shadow'!"
The chairman finally spoke, his voice devoid of any personal emotion, containing only a pure, cold question.
"Have you forgotten the first rule of the 'Dragon's Spine'?"
The ghost's body stiffened abruptly.
The chairman walked towards him step by step, each step seemingly treading on everyone's hearts.
"Because of your momentary impulse, because of your ridiculous individual heroism, we almost all perished there!"
His voice wasn't loud, but every word was piercing.
"Upon your return, you will face the most severe punishment within the organization for acting without authorization and disobeying orders!"
Finally, the chairman's gaze fell on the weak elf in his arms, his tone carrying a final, unquestionable command.
"Now, go to the medical room and take good care of your elf!"
This incident struck Lin Che like a silent alarm bell. Watching the distraught figure being led to the medical room by two team members, he deeply understood just how much blood and lives had been sacrificed to uphold the ironclad rule of "absolute obedience" in such high-level team operations where lives were at stake.
Chapter 95 Code Name: "Dawn"! Invading the Demon Capital, the Lured Gluttonous King!
The journey back to Earth was spent in absolute silence.
The members of the "Dawn" advance team didn't speak; they even deliberately slowed their breathing. They just stared intently at the sample containers, which were triple-sealed, as if what was sealed inside wasn't air and soil, but a nightmare powerful enough to devour the entire world.
The speed of Pheromosa, which surpasses the limits of physics, and the terrifying scene of instantly dismembering a Champion-level Pokémon, have become an indelible mark, deeply etched into the minds of everyone.
If Zhixing hadn't forcibly distorted dimensions with his unparalleled spatial control at the last moment, creating an absolutely safe escape route, this team would have been wiped out.
As the transport plane's cargo door opened in the highest-level underground hangar at the Alliance headquarters, the blinding sterile lights shone in, causing every team member to instinctively tense up.
They successfully brought back firsthand information from the ultimate space.
This is the first time that human civilization has touched upon the reality of another dimension.
The cost was severe, but the gains were equally immeasurable.
The atmosphere inside the Alliance's highest command center was extremely oppressive.
An operation report with an encryption level of "top secret" was simultaneously distributed to the core servers of major alliances around the world via a quantum communication network.
The report's title consists of only two words.
"dawn".
It represents the first glimmer of light that humanity ignited in the face of this endless darkness and unknown, and it also symbolizes the official start of a global war in which no one can escape.
In the report, the Alliance officially named and numbered all known Ultra Beasts from the [Sky-Gap] using the unified code name "Dawn".
The explosive magician who once turned a city into ruins was named "Dawn-01-Bang Head Clown".
The white, deadly shadow that was so fast that even high-speed cameras couldn't capture it was given the codename "Dawn-02-Pheromone".
Every word carries the weight of blood.
The moment the report was distributed, the highest levels of major global alliances were thrown into an unprecedented shock.
The menacing rift in the sky above Shanghai has been officially listed in the world's highest-level disaster warning list.
With Shanghai as the absolute center, the surrounding sea area spanning hundreds of kilometers was completely sealed off. A steel fleet lurked beneath the surface, constructing a chilling defensive line. Any unauthorized ships or aircraft that crossed the red line would be shot down without warning.
The world seemed to have been put on pause, and all eyes were focused on the skies above that sleepless city in the East.
The crisis, under extreme tension, has been temporarily brought under control.
Lin Che was thus granted a short vacation.
Instead of staying in the oppressive base, he took Xu Qingyan and rode the Warrior Eagle, soaring into the sky at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
They left the blocked airspace and arrived above a completely safe sea of clouds.
Looking from here, the enormous crack that pierces the sky reveals its most complete and awe-inspiring full view.
It is not a crack.
It is a wound.
A wound, forever unhealed, torn open the barrier of the world. Dark red light surges and boils within it, silently recounting the terror and madness of another dimension.
Below, the dazzling lights of Shanghai are a testament to the prosperity of human civilization.
Above, lies the world's immense wound, a gateway to an unknown abyss of destruction.
These two drastically different scenes are forcibly combined into the same picture, bringing an absurd and unreal sense of apocalypse.
The wind was cold at high altitude, so Lin Che held Xu Qingyan's soft body even tighter in his arms, trying to use his body heat to dispel the chill from her.
The girl leaned quietly against his chest, feeling his steady and powerful heartbeat, as if this alone could shield her from all the unease and fear in the world.
Lin Che's gaze, however, pierced through the dark red crack and cast into the deeper, more distant darkness.
His thoughts were racing and connecting.
It all started with the discovery of the slumbering Kirachi deep in the Kunlun Mountains.
Why would a legendary Pokémon capable of granting any wish choose to seal itself away in slumber? What is it hiding from?
Immediately following was the distress signal transmitted from the deepest part of the universe via the planet Zhixing, spanning countless light-years.
The despair and helplessness contained in that signal still resonate in his mind.
What happened to the civilization that sent the signal?
Now, the answer seems to be right before our eyes.
Before them lay the Ultimate Cave, and beyond it, the terrifying being known as the "Overlord"—Necrozma.
All the clues point to the same source.
Lin Che's brow felt slightly hot.
He vaguely caught a glimpse of a vast, cold net that covered the entire universe.
Jirachi's slumber, the distress signal from the depths of space, the invasion of Ultra Beasts... none of these are isolated incidents.
They are the same cosmic catastrophe, but different ripples created at different times and in different places.
Behind this universe lies a secret far grander and more dangerous than he could have imagined.
An ultimate terror capable of slumbering the gods and causing interstellar civilizations to wail in despair.
And myself...
