----------
Dark clouds covered the sky.
Doberman held the microphone: "I repeat, Marine personnel below the rank of Commodore, immediately evacuate Reverse Mountain! Do not look directly at the esteemed guest!"
At that moment, an unusually evil aura covered the battlefield.
All Marine personnel felt a chill run down their spines.
"Hey, what happened?"
"The Five Elders???"
"Don't just stand there, retreat quickly!"
The Marine personnel retreated in a hurry, running toward their warships.
The Hoenn Government soldiers also received orders to quickly return to their fleet. Although they didn't know what was happening, the name Five Elders was enough to make the Hoenn Marines stand ready.
"Crack!"
Black lightning struck the ground!
On the coast of Reverse Mountain, a giant five-pointed star magic circle appeared, and black smoke rose into the air.
"The Five Elders?!"
Daichi, Kuzan, Fujitora, Aramaki.
The four of them instantly changed their expressions, immediately stopped fighting, and turned to look at the magic circle in the distance, from which dark smoke was rising.
A substance like black mud surged out of it!
"The Five Elders actually came in person!"
Reverse Mountain is over ten thousand miles away from Mary Geoise. It's impossible for the Five Elders to teleport directly from such a distance. This means the Five Elders were hidden within the Marine fleet.
They came prepared!
Daichi's eyes burned with excitement.
He was now the General Commander of the Hoenn Government, directly opposing the Celestial Dragons. The arrival of the Five Elders made his blood boil!
"Boom boom boom!"
Haki lightning scattered everywhere, destroying everything around the magic circle. The writhing black mud gradually solidified into a shape.
A giant skeletal warhorse, radiating an ominous aura, had black fiery ribbons floating around its neck - a sign of an awakened ability!
The upper body of the skeletal warhorse writhed and transformed into a bald samurai, holding one of the Supreme Grade Swords, the Shodai Kitetsu. "Warrior God of Finance" Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro!
"It's been a long time, mortal world."
Nusjuro looked at Daichi.
Daichi grinned.
"I didn't expect the Five Elders, the world's highest authority, to be such rare monsters. Are the other Five Elders like this too?"
"Mortal, you are not worthy to know."
Nusjuro moved his four limbs, appearing before Daichi in almost the blink of an eye, and the giant Kitetsu slashed toward Daichi!
So fast!
Daichi was startled and immediately shielded himself with his arms, Haki covering them!
"Clang!"
The blade struck Daichi's arm, and an unstoppable force erupted, sending Daichi flying and crashing into the Red Line!
"Boom!"
The mountain wall shook violently, a large amount of rubble fell to the ground, and a huge cut appeared on the mountain wall, stretching as far as the eye could see!
A slash no less powerful than Hawkeye's!
Kuzan and the others' expressions changed.
They had completely underestimated the Five Elders - the world's highest authority possessed such incredible power!
"Boom!"
The pile of rubble exploded!
Daichi appeared in the ruins, blood flowing from both his arms, clearly showing the bloody marks left by the slash.
Saint Nusjuro held his sword before him.
"As long as I kill you, the world can return to stability."
"Jiehahahaha! Old man, I want to kill you too!"
Daichi laughed loudly, his eyes burning intensely.
It had been a long time since he had been injured. That previous slash made him clearly feel danger.
His body expanded and changed form.
"Aooo!"
Groudon Form!
The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky became clear.
Daichi roared to the sky, his entire body radiating high-temperature heat waves that swept across the entire battlefield. The ground beneath his feet rapidly melted into lava.
Blazing fiery rays shot forth!
Nusjuro's expression slightly changed. He chose not to cut through the flames, but instead quickly ran to the side to dodge.
The fiery rays swept across the land, extending all the way to the horizon of the sea!
"Boom boom boom!"
The ice shattered, and waves surged into the sky!
Daichi's pupils shifted, locking onto the charging Nusjuro. The opponent's running speed was extremely fast, covering a hundred meters in an instant!
"Brick Break!"
Claws and blade collided!
"Crackle!"
Haki lightning scattered everywhere, destroying everything around it!
Daichi grinned!
"Precipice Blades!"
Molten rock pillars shot up from the ground, piercing toward the bone horse's belly!
Nusjuro pushed off with his four limbs, leaping lightly into the air, easily avoiding the surprise attack of the Precipice Blades. At the same time, he put force into his arm, unleashing a huge circular slash!
Having learned his lesson once, Daichi was well aware of the sharpness of the opponent's slashes. Under the enhancement of the clear sky, a dazzling light gathered in his mouth.
"Solar Beam!"
The Solar Beam directly struck the center of the slash, holding it back for several seconds. Under Daichi's continuous discharge, the slash was completely destroyed!
The light beam also gradually disappeared.
Looking at the bone horse suspended in the air, Daichi did not hesitate, and golden light glowed on his body!
"Thunderbolt!"
Golden lightning descended from the sky. With the almost unavoidable speed of lightning, combined with the Shodai Kitetsu acting as a conductor, it accurately struck Nusjuro.
In the dazzling golden lightning, Nusjuro's pained face was barely visible, clearly showing he had taken damage.
Although it was called Thunderbolt, under Daichi's full output, the voltage was definitely not as low as 100,000.
Pressing the advantage!
"Precipice Blades!"
A giant Precipice Blade reappeared, piercing into the center of the lightning, and then emitted a blinding white light!
"Boom!"
A mushroom cloud exploded in the sky!
This time, it was a direct hit!
In just their first exchange, both sides used all their abilities, without even testing each other, directly escalating into an intense battle.
The rapidly changing battle situation made the three observing powerhouses extremely nervous, especially Aramaki, who was deeply afraid of something happening to the Five Elders.
Soon.
Nusjuro fell from the flames, half of his upper body was missing, and most of the bones in his lower body were broken.
"It's over!"
Aramaki's face turned pale.
Suffering such heavy damage, it was practically impossible to survive. If the Five Elders died here, even if he was an Admiral, he would surely be sentenced to death!
An unexpected situation occurred.
Nusjuro's damaged body was rapidly recovering - even severed hands and feet were regenerating. The bizarre scene made Aramaki feel a chill run down his spine.
Regeneration?
What kind of monster is this!
"As expected, he's not dead!"
Daichi gazed at Nusjuro, not surprised by this outcome.
The Celestial Dragons, or rather, Imu, seemed to possess some power that granted the Five Elders and God's Knights immortality.
And could also easily take their lives.
It was like a devil's contract!
Perhaps Imu's ability was truly related to demons, such that as long as the Five Elders' souls remained, their bodies would be immortal.
But any ability must have a weakness. He just hadn't found it yet and needed to slowly discover it during the battle.
"Kuzan, and Fujitora and Aramaki, you'd best stay far away. I can't guarantee I won't accidentally injure you next."
Daichi warned them, then closed his eyes, concentrating on feeling the rhythm of the earth, his will reaching directly to the Earth's core!
He wanted to turn this place into a world of lava!
Nusjuro also stopped moving, his consciousness communicating with the other Five Elders. He alone would probably find it difficult to deal with Daichi.
No matter the cost, Daichi must be eliminated here!
This might be the only chance!
