Chapter 320 The Phoenix King Descends! The Pressure of a Level 1 God! The Chosen One, the One Under
Chapter 320 The Phoenix King Descends! The Pressure of a First-Level God! The Chosen One, the Focus of All Eyes! The Death of Sheila!
"The Operations Department rejected our proposal. Sheila, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out until the Zelda Research Base."
Umekawa Naiyi made the solemn announcement.
Ye Yinchuan held his breath slightly. Even so, would the operations department on the Japanese side still refuse to budge?
I can understand, but it's too cruel for this giant, noisy bird.
At this moment, Sheila in the picture is covered in wounds and has no strength to fly. She can only land and stagger forward on her legs.
It is not far from the Zelda gas, but it will probably never reach it.
Sheila cried out in anguish, and the combatants and Pokémon gradually ceased their attacks...
Just as Sheila's eyelids began to droop, a sacred and majestic cry rang out!
"Hila..."
Dr. Jinggeng and the others were heartbroken for Sheila, but there was nothing they could do. The Zelda gas could not be moved easily, and they could not act rashly.
The viewers in the live stream shared similar sentiments.
[Hila, even if it costs you your life, is it really necessary for you to do this?]
This dedication moved me deeply!
But when that cry appeared, the tone completely changed!
[My God, what is that sound? Even just hearing it through the screen makes my heart race...]
Is there another bird-like Pokémon like Sheila?
"Wait, look, there's a rainbow in the sky... How can there be a rainbow in this kind of weather!"
At the same time, the combat personnel and Pokémon who had accepted the mission to besiege Sheila also heard this cry and couldn't help but look up to find the source of the sound.
When they looked up and saw the sky filled with rainbows and clouds that looked like they were burning with seven-colored flames, they were all stunned.
The trainers' pupils contracted, revealing surprise and disbelief.
The Pokémon were even more shocked and excited, some even trembling, feeling a pressure from their bloodline!
In the distance, emerging from a cloud of seven-colored flames, a large bird-like Pokémon calmly flapped its magnificent, seven-colored wings, its entire body radiating a divine aura. This was none other than the legendary Pokémon, the universally acknowledged legendary beast, the one that commands the three legendary beasts—
Ho-Oh!
The iridescent energy of the phoenix shone around its body. Although its flapping of wings was not exaggerated, it brought a great sense of pressure in terms of energy and spirit.
Ho-Oh is like the sun in the night, radiating powerful energy from within, as if it wants to illuminate the world...
That sense of oppression, that aura, that grandeur—in an instant, everyone and all the Pokémon seemed to forget what they were originally supposed to be doing, leaving only awe and wonder at Ho-Oh…
Naturally, this includes reverence!
"Ho-Oh! It's Ho-Oh! We've seen Ho-Oh! We've heard that those who see Ho-Oh will be blessed with eternal happiness!"
Some trainers were overjoyed and almost knelt down in worship.
If we were to ask who the most famous and respected Pokémon is in the Pokémon world, Ho-Oh would undoubtedly hold a prominent place...
The Phoenix King's status is also related to the Three Legendary Beasts.
Because of their powerful performance, the appearance of the three legendary beasts is always accompanied by miraculous sights, and they are quite friendly to both humans and Pokémon...
Of course, the world once believed that the three legendary birds were also subordinate to Ho-Oh, but the reasoning was pretty much the same.
In short, there are many different myths and legends about Ho-Oh, with different versions in different regions...
Without exception, the image of the Phoenix King is always depicted as glorious and magnificent, a divine bird symbolizing happiness or life!
Therefore, at this moment, the appearance of Ho-Oh has brought indescribable excitement to both Japanese and Chinese people.
The Phoenix King's appearance is incredibly magnificent; it is a huge bird with an elegant and noble posture. In addition to its body shining with seven-colored light and burning with rainbow flames, its feathers are also like a rainbow, with rich layers...
Red represents fire, gold signifies nobility, green symbolizes nature and life, and the black ring around the eyes suggests mysterious and destructive power...
The Phoenix King's head resembles a crown, and its tail a long robe, exuding an aura of high status and divinity...
"Ho-Oh! It's actually Ho-Oh! Could it be that Ho-Oh has come to...?"
Ye Yinchuan had almost guessed the possibility of this situation happening, and he was trying to listen to the Phoenix King's inner thoughts!
"Hila, I have been observing you for a long time, observing this so-called Zelda gas for a long time! Now your life is coming to an end, but I can use my rainbow flames to keep your life burning... You can choose to continue destroying the Zelda gas, but you will surely burn out your last breath! You can also choose to leave now, letting humanity bear the consequences of their mistakes! Look at what they have done! You were so eager to help humanity solve the problem of the Zelda gas they couldn't destroy, even at the cost of your life, yet they have harmed you like this! Don't forget, in the end, you are the result of humanity's own actions! If you leave now, you will be under my protection! If you destroy the Zelda gas, I will also help you!"
Hearing Phoenix King's thoughts, Ye Yinchuan was deeply moved.
No one knows how long Ho-Oh has existed. What kind of wisdom and experience does this ancient and powerful legendary Pokémon possess...?
And Phoenix King's inner thoughts at this moment were so clear, so organized...
It could prolong Sheila's life and give her the right to choose whether to leave and save her own life, or to continue her original intention and pay the price of her life to destroy the Zelda gas.
At that moment, Ho-Oh actually glanced at the camera.
In an instant, all the images rippled, and in everyone's minds, the voice of Ho-Oh appeared!
It was a voice that seemed obscure and ancient, yet could reach straight to the soul—
"The one who is the center of attention, I can obtain, and I can convey my will!"
At this moment, everyone was utterly shocked and pondering the meaning of the voice.
"The person in the spotlight can obtain and convey Ho-Oh's message? What does it mean?"
Mei Chuan Nei looked at Ye Yinchuan, with some guesses but no certainty.
The comments section was buzzing with discussion, but some were clearly quite daring—
[The person everyone's watching—isn't that the streamer they're talking about?!]
[666, streamer, is Ho-Oh telepathically connected with you?]
[Ho-Oh's power is ridiculously overpowered. We're miles away from Japan, and there are so many people watching the live stream, and even more people in Japan are following... This is like a mass message sent with just a glance?]
If the three legendary beasts are legendary Pokémon, then Ho-Oh is a mythical Pokémon! Just kidding, huh?
[Hey host, stop rambling! Your chance to make a name for yourself has arrived!]
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan was also stunned for a moment. He had indeed received the Phoenix King's "notification"—
You, the one in the spotlight, can hear my voice, and I can hear yours!
Clearly, the power ceiling in the Pokémon world, or rather, the power of a legendary Pokémon like Ho-Oh, is far beyond Ye Yinchuan's imagination...
This clearly indicates that while Ye Yinchuan is listening to the Phoenix King's thoughts, the Phoenix King can also hear Ye Yinchuan's thoughts!
It's roughly like this: when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
Such extraordinary abilities cannot be measured by racial stats or individual stats!
Fortunately, Ye Yinchuan's mind was as clear as a mirror, devoid of any sordid thoughts; in other words, he had a clear conscience. Otherwise, he would have been truly afraid that the Phoenix King would punish him as a villain...
After a moment of deep thought, Ye Yinchuan's gaze deepened, and his tone carried a hint of fatalism. Although it was all an act, it was necessary for the sake of the show:
"It seems that you all heard Ho-Oh's voice, but my voice is quite different from yours... Perhaps, I am the person Ho-Oh was referring to, the one who is the center of attention."
Ye Yinchuan's current demeanor can be described as extremely pretentious.
But there's no way around it, the Phoenix King personally appointed him, so he has no choice but to put on airs!
Oh wait, on second thought, the person personally chosen by Phoenix King and the focus of everyone's attention, I'm really awesome!
The claim that Ho-Oh is the person everyone is watching is not an exaggeration at all; in fact, it's an understatement.
After all, Ye Yinchuan is now a streamer with over 600,000 followers, and his live stream had 100,000 viewers watching simultaneously. This particular live stream not only drew enthusiastic responses from local audiences but also attracted many overseas viewers…
The gigantic, mutated, noisy bird was already quite something, and now we have Ho-Oh...
The number of viewers in Ye Yinchuan's live stream was jumping by tens of thousands, and the number of followers was also skyrocketing. The numbers were fluctuating every second!
This was a grand occasion that Ye Yinchuan hadn't witnessed in a long time, and he was very fortunate to have accepted this live call today!
[Host, what exactly does Ho-Oh mean? Why did it come about?]
[Holy crap, Ho-Oh is breathing rainbow-colored flames! Is it going to burn Sheila?! Does it think Sheila is a dangerous being?]
No, no, no... the flames didn't harm Sheila; on the contrary, they cheered her up. Ho-Oh is saving Sheila!
What did the Neon Pokémon Center say? Do they want to fight Ho-Oh as well?
[Upstairs, you're making me laugh to death. Fight Ho-Oh? Don't even mention the few people and Pokémon here. Even if Ho-Oh burned the entire country to the ground, it could revive them, burn them again, revive them again...]
When Mei Chuan Nei saw the comments, she felt slightly embarrassed and quickly shook her head.
We're going to fight Ho-Oh? Baka yarou! Shira shira di!
Even the people in the Japanese operations department couldn't even imagine that Ho-Oh's psychic power was so incredibly strong that if it paid attention to it, any malicious intent it might have would be detected!
Ye Yinchuan then spoke:
"You only got half right this time..."
[Not bad, I almost thought we made a mistake again.]
Is being half right necessarily wrong?
When Ye Yinchuan relayed what Feng Wang had said to Sheila to the audience, the barrage of comments reached another climax and went wild!
Wow! So this is how Ho-Oh views us humans?
[Okay, Zelda Gas is indeed a mess created by the Japanese, resulting in Sheila suffering so much, and also Dr. Slave's daughter... Ho-Oh's intentions shouldn't have extended to all of humanity, right?]
[Ho-Oh is actually observing a noisy bird? Even one with a huge mutation...]
[What...what will Sheila do? To be honest, if I were Sheila, I'd be thinking of giving up too. With Ho-Oh protecting me, life would be so much more carefree and comfortable. Why risk my life for humanity?]
[Wait a minute? Ho-Oh extended Sheila's life, doesn't that sound like a story the streamer told about Ho-Oh and the Legendary Beasts...? Does that mean there's an extra Legendary Beast?]
[That's not right. Even with one more bird, Shouldn't Sheila be at the same table as the three legendary birds?]
Seeing the heated discussion in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan's eyes flickered, and he answered some of the questions:
"Ho-Oh didn't comment much, but no matter what, it was humans who created the Zelda Aura, caused Shira to mutate like this, and caused the death of its close trainer... Of course, that's just Ho-Oh's perspective. After all, we didn't do anything at home, so we can't share the blame."
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's words, Mei Chuan Nei raised an eyebrow. Was he trying to distance himself from the situation? But it didn't seem wrong. Zelda gas was indeed created by the Japanese. The anchor's reluctance to name names was already quite tactful.
Ye Yinchuan also has emotional intelligence.
We can't just blurt out, "Ah, these are all crimes committed by the Japanese, and they have nothing to do with us Chinese..." Although that's not wrong, it's too disrespectful to their dignity.
The main issue is that Dr. Jinggeng is indeed taking responsibility for his sins and trying to find a safe way to destroy Zelda gas, so there's no need to be unforgiving and torture him mercilessly.
"We still know too little about Ho-Oh, a mysterious and powerful Pokémon. But as far as I know, Ho-Oh not only observes Sheila, but also us humans. According to legend, the three legendary beasts were chosen by Ho-Oh as messengers to observe the human world."
Regarding Ho-Oh's observation of the human world, Ye Yinchuan also mentioned that, for Ho-Oh, it was a very open matter, but at the same time, he also took it as a warning:
"Perhaps it's not just Ho-Oh; there are other powerful and mysterious beings observing this world, observing us humans. Perhaps this is another form of 'the gods are watching from above'? As members of humanity, when pursuing our own interests and goals, we must also consider the environment of this world and other life forms... At the very least, like Dr. Sage, we should be able to admit our mistakes and correct them, and mend the fence after the sheep are lost!"
These words were not what Feng Wang asked Ye Yinchuan to convey, but rather Ye Yinchuan's own heartfelt words, which can be considered as something he, as a broadcaster, wanted to convey.
In summary, it all boils down to the need for humans, nature, and Pokémon to live in harmony.
Phoenix seemed to have heard Ye Yinchuan's words. Its eyes inadvertently gazed at the camera, as if conveying a sense of approval and appreciation!
There are certainly many streamers who can be called "the focus of everyone's attention", and the reason why Fengwang chose Ye Yinchuan as its spokesperson at this moment is definitely not just because Ye Yinchuan can hear its inner voice!
"Gurgle!"
At this moment, on Sheila's ugly and broken body, which appeared to be burning with the rainbow flames of Ho-Oh, thanks to Ho-Oh's power, she had been able to prolong her life and regain her strength...
Even its cry was no longer hoarse and unpleasant; it answered Phoenix King with its actions!
It must stay true to its original mission, resolve the Zelda Gas, and eliminate this unstable hazard that could harm others and Pokémon!
Ye Yinchuan also heard Sheila's thoughts and gained some new information—
His eyes flickered slightly as he said:
"Sheila said... When the gas exploded in Zildar, it was the little master who opened the window and used his hands to send it out of the window, thus missing the best chance to escape... Without the little master, it would have died in that explosion long ago. Its life had already been extended by the little master!"
It was determined to eliminate the Zerda gas and prevent anyone from being harmed again. This was its goal, achieved after enduring the Zerda gas, the mutation, and the pain of loving to sing but being unable to speak for over twenty years! It was its long-cherished wish! Consider it repayment for its young master's kindness!
After Ye Yinchuan finished speaking, the usually playful comments on the screen stopped teasing him.
[Hilary, so that's how it is! There were such details!]
[It must be Ho-Oh's power that made the streamer find out about this. I'm so upset I could cry!]
Its little owner, the daughter of the diligent farmer, must cherish and love it very much!
[Hila! No! Don't go to your death!]
At this moment, Dr. Jinggeng's eyes also welled up with tears. What Ye Yinchuan said were details he didn't know. Indeed, his daughter was as kind as an angel, and Sheila was also a continuation of his daughter's spirit.
"Sila, go! Zilda gas is my sin alone! I should bear the consequences. Even if I die on my last breath, I will not give up researching a way to safely destroy it!"
Dr. Jinggeng didn't know how to convey this to Sheila, so he ran outside and shouted at the sky. He was out of breath after only a few steps; his body had long been worn down by his relentless research day and night!
The doctor said he wouldn't live much longer.
"Actually, Sheila's original lifespan wasn't much longer. For the past twenty years, it has been lying dormant, fighting against the corrosive effects of the Zelda gas. Now that it has reappeared before the world, it's only because it can finally function normally, so it's eager to destroy the Zelda gas... Also, Dr. Jinggeng, Sheila's hearing is amazing. It has heard your call, and it hopes you can relax a bit!"
"So, Sheila did it all for me too?"
Dr. Jinggeng was taken aback. "I thought it would hate me."
"You were the one who brought it home and raised it. Besides, Sheila's beloved little master also deeply loves you, its father. How could it hate you? It has never hated you!"
Ye Yinchuan revealed the truth.
Anyway, the comments thought that he knew so much through Ho-Oh, and since he had an excuse, he simply stopped pretending!
At this moment, Shira, her body engulfed in iridescent flames, had arrived at the Zelda base. Her sapphire-like eyes, set against the backdrop of the iridescent flame blade, appeared even more magnificent and pure...
Because of the rainbow flames, the corroded and damaged skin on Heila's body was covered up, and Heila seemed to have regained her former beauty, or even surpassed it!
"Hila..."
Looking at Sheila like this, Dr. Jinggeng's voice trembled, his feelings extremely complicated.
Shera also saw the location of the Zildar gas: a huge, round container corroded and mutated by the Zildar gas, which allowed it to fully sense the location of the gas.
It approached the can, extended its claws, and carefully cut open the surface of the can...
This scene made everyone's hearts jump, because Zildar gas is very unstable and could explode with the slightest friction!
Fortunately, neither Hira's sharp claws nor Ho-Oh's flames caused the Zelda gas to explode...
A dark green, misty gas called Zelda began to emanate from the area.
Sheila opened her mouth, and Flying-type energy surged forth, like a sapphire, the color of the sky, mixed with the iridescent energy of Ho-Oh, forming a gust of wind that began to absorb the misty gas in front of her!
As time went by, Hira swallowed all of the Zelda gas!
"There's no mistake, this is the technique for clearing the fog... and Shira chose to absorb the Zelda gas into her body, then use her own energy and this technique to purify it!"
Commentary by Ye Yinchuan.
The next moment, Sheila appeared to be in great pain, and her body even emitted a blackish-green energy that burned like flames. At the same time, a large amount of shimmering energy was released from Sheila's body and soared upwards!
The unstable, highly destructive, and corrosive energy of the Zildar gas is being broken down by Shira, becoming pure energy and returning to the universe!
Ho-Oh, perched high above, observed everything, seemingly unmoved as Shira's life gradually weakened and, with the evolution of Zelda Gas, reached its end.
【Ho-Oh, are you really not going to save Sheila?】
[She was given a choice, and it was Sheila's own decision. I guess Ho-Oh is a man of his word!]
[It's almost like a divine presence, observing humanity, bestowing miracles, both merciful and ruthless!]
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Shera's body began to become transparent, and the rainbow flames on her body gradually burned out. The Zelda gas had been purified, not only the one she had inhaled, but also the Zelda gas on her own body!
Sheila, who should have died more than 20 years ago, found the final meaning of her life at this moment!
"Sheila!"
Dr. Jinggeng ran towards Sheila, unable to contain his emotions any longer, and tears streamed down his face.
But his body was too weak, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"The Zelda gas has been purified, Sheila. I have no more regrets; let me go with you!"
Dr. Jinggeng felt his weakness, and the breath that had been hanging in his heart for more than twenty years seemed to dissipate along with the Zilda gas.
In a daze.
Dr. Jinggeng seemed to see a girl with long hair and bangs, wearing a red dress, holding a heterochromatic chatterbird with golden and blue eyes, smiling and waiting for him in the dissipating iridescent flames. They were singing, singing the song of that sunny afternoon.
"Mami, Sheila, wait for me..."
Dr. Jinggeng wanted to stand up, but he was too weak.
His eyes gradually dimmed, and he reached out, as if trying to grasp something...
Just then, Phoenix King let out a cry, and a rainbow light shot towards Dr. Jinggeng.
Dr. Jinggeng suddenly transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the dissipating rainbow flames.
The flames, which had almost died out, shone brighter once more. Dr. Diligent Farmer, his daughter Mami, and the noisy bird Sheila were finally reunited, and his song joined in...
"Did you see that?"
Ye Yinchuan stared intently at everything in the camera lens.
What just happened was not a hallucination of Dr. Jinggeng before his death, but a reality that he and all the viewers could see!
[Host, you too? I thought I was the only one obsessed...]
[My God... Mami, the chatterbox, and Dr. Farming, will they... will they go to heaven?]
What exactly was that? A ghost, a belief, or the power of Ho-Oh?
Ye Yinchuan also found it difficult to explain what was happening before his eyes, because it was beyond his scope of business and fell into his blind spot!
Although this ending is somewhat hard to accept, it seems to be the best possible outcome!
"What is that...?"
Ye Yinchuan noticed that at the place where Dr. Jinggeng, Mami, and Sheila—this family, or rather, where the rainbow flame disappeared—a golden egg, shimmering with rainbow light, was left behind…
And next to the egg, there was a blue gem!
