The venue for the battle between Xia Chen and Sirona is on the upper floors of the Metropolitan Tower.

Since the [Comprehensive Cultivation of Elven Trainers] has become the "national policy" of the Ultimate Metropolis, lands such as the Battle Battlefield and the Elf Cultivation House have sprung up on this land.

Walking down the streets now, the eyes are full of Metropolises walking side by side with elves, and they don't look any different from the world over there.

The thriving Elven system also gave Theonilla more confidence, and in the space of three months, he led the Ultimate Defense Force to triple the "territory" of the Metropolis.

While this means a proportional and significant increase in the number of places that need to be protected, it means a lot to the Met.

In a devastated and dark world, every diffusion of the light of civilization, which represents hope, is extremely precious.

In the process of rebuilding civilization, the Lei Guanwang also played an immeasurable role.

His magical powers brought the dull earth to life, devoid of nutrients and impurities, and combined with the small artificial sun developed by the Met, the people of the Metropolis saw for the first time how plants grow outside the laboratory.

The vibrant green is just as inspiring as the sparkling light.

In the new urban area of the metropolis, parks, botanical gardens, and green belts have risen one after another, becoming the favorite place for metropolitan people during this time.

Of course, the Lei Guan King, who appeared in front of people, once again harvested a group of loyal believers who were once superstitious about science.

Although the metropolitan area is not large, the population density is extremely high, and the scale of the faith power of nearly 100,000 people is not small, let alone the kind of frenzy that is relatively high.

But the strange thing is that the strength of the Lei Guanwang not only did not improve much, but decreased a little.

Lei Guanwang's explanation for this is that the power of faith also has a gradual absorption process, but Xia Chen expressed doubts about this-

At that time in Frozen Village, the Thunder Crown King had jumped back to the legendary level in just a few days, from the level that a few wild Matura could bully at will.

Why is this different?

Looking at the Lei Guanwang who obviously hid some secrets, Xia Chen was a little suspicious, but this guy repeatedly emphasized that he was fine, and he could only ask no more, just because he released too much energy, which caused a slight loss of strength in a short period of time.

And the metropolis is so thriving, and Dark Matter is certainly not immune to it.

The offensive of the Ultimate Beasts is more violent, but after getting used to it, it is basically a formulaic defense.

What's even more worrying is that the ultimate investigation team that is exploring outside has repeatedly reported some strange phenomena -

In many places, huge fissures suddenly appeared in the sky that had never been seen before, and the attraction of such cracks was so powerful that the investigators who went to survey were accidentally sucked into them after approaching and did not survive.

No matter in terms of appearance or characteristics, this crack is very different from the ultimate hole, and the danger is extremely high, and Xia Chen, who got the news, did not dare to rush into the investigation.

However, it is not difficult to speculate that the appearance of this crack is most likely closely related to dark matter.

Even as far as Xia Chen's own understanding of the dark matter is concerned, its purpose is to make the world swallowed up by nothingness, and it is very likely that these cracks are connected to the realm of nothingness.

In short, the appearance of cracks is undoubtedly a sign that the situation is deteriorating further.

…………

Before you know it, it's November.

At the beginning of the month, the alarm sounded again in the metropolis, representing the arrival of the tide of orange-level alien beasts.

Compared to the panic of the previous times, the residents of the metropolis are now fully accustomed to such "routine".

After the alarm sounded, they calmly and methodically evacuated to the shelter under the command of the defense forces.

However, no one could have predicted that this time the situation would be completely different from all the previous waves of alien beasts.

Under the light of the Metropolitan Tower, the canopy on the top of the spire was not a dull pitch black, but an inky blue like the color of the deep sea.

Today, however, the skies are completely different.

A deep black that seemed to suck all the light into it shrouded the Metropolis Tower, and the light emitted from the Metropolis Tower was swallowed up by it like ice and snow melting in the sun.

No, it's even scarier than this scene.

When the snow melts, it will at least turn into flowing water, and under this indescribable black mist, the light will disappear as if it had never appeared in the world.

Darkness is a breeding ground for fear.

Although endless darkness is the norm in this world, most Metropolises have never stepped out of the bright city in their lifetime.

Of course, the metropolis that suddenly fell into the night was in a panic in a very short time, and even the members of the Ultimate Defense Force were inevitable.

At this moment, the defense command on the top floor of the Metropolitan Tower is conducting a secret meeting regarding this particular event.

The participants included several high-ranking members of the Metropolitan Defense Committee, Theonilla, Mi Ling, Amamo, and several other detachment leaders, as well as Xia Chen, Sirona, and Gadelia.

The light of the Metropolis was completely swallowed up, illuminating the light source of the conference room, from the body of the old Lotton.

This guy's trait is that he can turn on the crimson pulsation of sunny weather, and it makes sense to temporarily act as a small sun.

Although there was light in the room, everyone's faces were gloomy.

They all had vague conjectures about what the unspeakable thing that suddenly appeared in the canopy was.

The ability to devour light is obvious enough, who else but the legendary god of radiance?

Everyone expected its true body to come, but when the day really came, who would be able to keep a normal heart?

In the silent and solemn atmosphere, Theonilla, the supreme commander of the Metropolis, was the first to speak.

"Colleagues, I don't want to say such discouraged words, but it is true, the survival of our world has reached the threshold of life and death."

Theonilla's first words set a heavy tone for the meeting.

But no one will say that he is exaggerating.

The frequent occurrence of many strange beasts in the previous months was a precursor to today's natural disaster, and if there were still people who were lucky at that time, no one questioned it at all.

Xia Chen didn't answer, his mood was heavier.

Because he knew that the ultimate Necrozma was not the most terrifying, and that the dark matter behind it was the source of all fear.

But even if Xia Chen didn't speak, the focus of the audience was still him.

The Metropolis relied on him, and Sirona and Gadelia trusted him.

Everyone understands that he is the backbone and soul of the current metropolis.

…………

In the eyes of everyone who were apprehensive, hopeful, or trusting, Xia Chen, who was unconsciously tapping his fingers on the table, finally spoke: "Don't worry, I won't leave." ”

In just a few words, the atmosphere in the conference room melted in an instant.

The metropolises present at the meeting threw grateful glances at him, if Xia Chen could also absorb the power of faith, then he would be more or less a champion-level elf now.

Theonilla stared at him deeply, bowed solemnly, and said, "I know that the word [thank you] has been said a little cheaply, but please allow me to thank you once more, no matter how this war ends, you will always be the most respected person in the Metropolis." ”

Xia Chen accepted it calmly, although there was his selfishness to defend the bottom root of the Ultimate World, he felt that he could afford this gratitude from Theonilla and even all the people of the Metropolis.

"The situation is urgent, next, the command is handed over to me, and I will specify the combat strategy."

Facing everyone's respectful gaze, Xia Chen's face narrowed, and he said: "In the final analysis, this is your war, so I need your strength... Even sacrifices when necessary. ”

Ever since he had learned of the Dark Matter's intentions three months ago, he had been thinking about how to deal with the terrifyingly powerful Ultimate Necrozma.

Today, Xia Chen has a complete battle plan.

And no one objected to this slightly cruel sentence, and Mi Ling even assured in a deep voice: "Every word you say will be the operational program of our defense force." ”

Xia Chen nodded noncommittally and continued: "The most important thing is the use of Z moves, and at that time, I need you to organize enough elves to release Z moves at the right time and place, no matter what the situation is at that time. ”

The captains of the Ultimate Defense Team nodded in unison, they had become proficient in the use of Z moves during this time.

And they are also the strongest group of trainers in the Ultimate Metropolis itself, such as the main elves of Mi Ling and Amamo, who have the strength of the Heavenly King level.

Of course, they didn't start cultivating from the elf egg or cub period, and they cultivated a king-level elf from scratch for more than half a year, so Xia Chen couldn't do it.

Some of these elves were subdued when they went to Earth to study, and some were ultimate beasts that had regained their mental will after being baptized with a Radiant Stone.

Although they do not have such a deep relationship as Xia Chen and Xianbu, the tacit understanding between them is also very sufficient.

There are still quite a few elves like this in the Ultimate Defense Team, after all, in the previous waves of alien beasts, the metropolis has captured many powerful Ultimate Beasts.

Xia Chen's idea is very simple, since the dark matter is afraid of the power of the Z move, it can theoretically burst out with multiplier damage.

Although the difference in strength between the ordinary elves and the ultimate Necrozma is too large, it adds up to a lot, and it is not impossible to pose a threat to it.

This is not unfounded speculation, Xia Chen had experimented with an Ultimate Alien Beast controlled by the will of Dark Matter when he returned to Earth.

Data has proven many times that when hitting such an ultimate beast, Z moves can deal massive damage five times higher than ordinary elves!

What kind of concept is this, in a normal battle, it is only when the dry-skinned Pyrast is attacked by a fire-type move.

If I had to find a reason, Xia Chen thought it was [light] restraint on [darkness's] alternative "attributes".

It is worth mentioning that this has nothing to do with attribute restraint, as the Mad Ultimate Beast that suffers from a Z move attack will also suffer from the bonus of normal attribute restraint.

In other words, if Necrozma, the ultimate of super and dragon attributes, is hit by a fairy or evil type Z move, it will receive up to ten times the damage bonus!

This is also one of Xia Chen's confidence in facing it and the dark matter.

…………

Dome.

The indescribable object as black and deep as the abyss absorbed the light of the metropolis, and quietly spread its two pairs of wings, emitting a faint dull red light.

With this faint light, the figure of Ultimate Necrozma was peeped into.

The people in the war room could barely see through the images taken by the microsatellites monitoring the metropolis.

It was a behemoth that was exaggerated to the size of the entire Metropolis, and resembled a dragon-like monster with a dull radiance.

Just one pair of wings is huge enough to obscure the entire sky above the Metropolitan Tower.

No one doubts what kind of devastating blow such a terrifying monster will inflict on the Metropolis.

"Tsk, it's really spectacular, just in terms of body shape, the Wuji Titanium of the Wuji Giant is not so big, right?"

A slightly flirtatious evaluation rang out in the conference room.

Xia Chen turned his head to look at the super empress with a small body and a big heart, but he didn't notice a trace of panic from her facial expressions.

I don't know if it's pretending or not.

However, thanks to her, the tense atmosphere in the conference room eased a little.

Indeed, no matter how terrifying it may look on the outside, in the end, it is just an elf.

Since it is an elf, there is a way to win the battle.

Xia Chen exhaled lightly, raised his head and said with a smile: "Everyone, I won't say anything about encouragement, this is the last lighthouse in the ultimate world and your home, so for the sake of the lights of the metropolis, please do everything you have, even if you die." ”

It wasn't a very exciting and high-pitched speech, but it had a surprisingly uplifting effect.

The members of the Ultimate Defense Team stood up in unison, blushing and shouting, "Protect the metropolis, never give up!" ”

The loud sound resounded in the conference room, deafening.

Xia Chen turned his head to look at Sirona and Gardelia beside him, and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to go." ”

…………

Beneath the dome, a deathly silence permeated the air.

Xia Chen has had many experiences when the legendary elves awakened or appeared, the death-filled breath of Ipeltar, the violent storm of the primordial return to Gaioca, the lightning and thunder of Millerton, or the endless night of Infinite Titana

These scenes are often beyond human comprehension, and the slightest carelessness can lead to the death of tens of thousands of people and elves.

But there is no time, or these terrifying scenes that are enough to make ordinary elves frightened, and they are not worthy of Xia Chen's feelings now.

As soon as he came out of the Metropolitan Tower, there was a thick and almost substantial, making Xia Chen's breathing stagnation feel like a tsunami, squeezing his body from all directions.

The most terrifying thing is that this is not the ultimate Necrozma's targeting of him, but a normalized aura.

Looking up, there was a dark red light.

Xia Chen's heart for no reason gave rise to a sense of instinctive fear.

It was the ultimate Necrozma's emotionless, abyssal gaze.
