As for why not go directly to Yveltal and take it... hehe, others are the God of Death, go to Him to ask for the Power of Death? Isn't looking for death not done like this!
In conclusion, Team Galactic, by picking up scraps, has miraculously become a terrifying existence possessing temporary Divine Domain Level power. While Yveltal's power is important, the machines that Team Galactic uses to collect the Power of Death and integrate it to create an energy body are also crucial.
In all the villainous organizations, maybe only Team Galactic and Team Rocket can achieve this. If it were another organization, even if they found Yveltal's power, they wouldn't be able to integrate it to create such a temporary Divine Domain Level energy body.
All of the above are the most confidential within Team Galactic, except for Pluton and the leader Cyrus, no one knows. This is also why Mars felt so bewildered upon hearing about any hidden means.
She truly was completely unaware.
Since even Mars didn't know, how did Cynthia know? She actually didn't know the source of Yveltal's shadow either, but she had heard this name from Pluton's mouth, and as for the energy consumption and inability to replenish it, that was Cynthia's guess.
That shadow's every attack would consume part of its power, which couldn't be restored, and the speed of consumption was too fast, which is why Cynthia came to such a conclusion.
But if Pluton wanted to use this power to escape, then indeed there was no stopping him.
"And why would I want to escape? I've achieved my goal, Lugia... isn't this coming?" Pluton's lips curled into a smile of a plan well accomplished.
"What?!"
Amidst the crowd's exclamations, a mighty water column rose from the vast sea, with a snow-white figure bursting out from it!
The water descended gently after the ascent of the figure, revealing its true form, a stance like a great bird, covered in snow-white feathers, with wings like two massive palms, exuding a sacred majesty.
The Sea God—Lugia!
[Species: Lugia]
[Gender: Male]
[Attribute: Psychic, Flying.]
[Level: Divine Domain Peak]
[Ability: Multiscale]
[Divine Position: Current Control]
[Skills: Aeroblast, Hurricane... (Omitting a hundred skills here)]
[Six-dimensional Ability: Physical Attack S (S) Special Attack S (S) Defense S (S) Special Defense S (S) Physical Strength S (S) Speed S (S)]
Lugia's data imprinted itself in Ash's mind. This was the second time Ash saw a Divine Domain Peak Level Pokemon, the first was Ho-Oh.
At the time of seeing Ho-Oh, the power of the Eye of Insight, or rather his knowledge wasn't complete, and he couldn't discern Ho-Oh's skills, let alone the divine position.
Now he could see Lugia's divine position and all the skills it possessed.
Lugia's magnificent attributes made Ash truly amazed, but what left Ash even more puzzled was why Lugia would appear?
Just now Cynthia said she had already prevented the necessary conditions for Lugia's appearance, yet soon after, Lugia showed up. What were the necessary conditions for Lugia's appearance?
"How is it possible... When the world is in chaos, the god of the sea shall appear to quell all fury... This sentence should apply when all three divine positions are out of control, and Lugia appears to pacify the world's chaos. Now, with only Articuno under control, why would Lugia emerge?" Cynthia's pretty face showed a noticeably stunned expression.
She softly murmured, unable to comprehend it.
Based on her investigation of the Asia Island legends about the Sea God, the conditions for the Sea God's appearance should require all Three Divine Birds to be out of control, and the merciful Sea God would emerge to pacify the chaotic Three Divine Birds and bring peace to the world.
Therefore, Pluton targeted the Three Divine Birds as he couldn't locate the Sea God. Compared to the elusive Sea God, the whereabouts of the Three Divine Birds were much easier to track, as they reside around the three islands of Asia Island.
As long as all Three Divine Birds were controlled, and their divine positions disrupted or sealed, then the Sea God would appear—this was the prerequisite for the Sea God's appearance.
Thus, Cynthia exerted all her power to prevent the opponent from controlling the last Divine Bird. Though she ultimately failed, Ash succeeded in restoring the other two Divine Birds back to normal, theoretically meaning the Sea God shouldn't appear.
"Hehe, though that kid took back Moltres and Zapdos, it's too late. When I controlled Articuno, he hadn't defeated and restored the two Divine Birds yet, and even if they were restored, the divine position restoration isn't immediate. Now, the world is at its most chaotic phase, and of course, Lugia would appear."
Perhaps in a good mood, Pluton surprisingly took the initiative to explain the reason for Lugia's appearance. He showed an extremely pleased expression, seeming to already consider Lugia as his own, watching it soaring in the sky.
"So what if Lugia appears? It could wipe you all out with a breath, daring to target a true deity's intent is just pure arrogance." Lorelei coldly and sarcastically remarked.
From the moment Lugia appeared, she could immediately sense the essential difference between Lugia and the Divine Birds. Even bound together, the Three Divine Birds probably couldn't defeat Lugia, so on what grounds did Team Galactic dare to target Lugia?
"Is that so? Let's wait and see." Pluton smirked sarcastically, then waved his hand, and the shadow behind him rushed out violently.
The Lugia in the sky also saw the shadow charging towards it, its brows furrowed slightly, and its eyes shone with azure blue light—Psychic!
The terrifying psychic power released from the Divine Domain Peak was enough to make the whole world tremble!
Time seemed to freeze in that instant, and the oppressive force made even Mewtwo feel slightly unable to breathe.
'Is this the power of the Divine Domain Peak? In the state of MEGA Evolution, I can't even lift a hand.' Mewtwo's voice held a hint of surprise. Now it possessed superpower far beyond the normal state, with strength elevated an entire tier higher, almost sweeping through the Intermediate Divine Realm.
Yet under such circumstances, facing the aftermath of the Divine Domain Peak's emission, Mewtwo couldn't even muster the strength to lift a hand. The power disparity among the Divine Domain Levels is truly terrifying!
Mars's face also turned rather grim; with such a dreadful power, how could Team Galactic hope to harness it? Or rather, was this a power that humans could truly control?
On the other side, Pluton, although feeling immense pressure, maintained his sinister smile.
In mid-air, the Psychic acted on the shadow but surprisingly, the power ample enough to solidify space itself, didn't stop it in the slightest!
Even Lugia was momentarily stunned, and in that moment, Yveltal's shadow reached Lugia.
Before Lugia could retreat, the massive malevolence began to pour entirely into Lugia's body!!
"Screech!!!" The influx of malevolence caused Lugia to emit a sorrowful cry. Ash's pupils shrank, and without thinking, he shouted to Pikachu beside him, "Pikachu, Thunderbolt! Mewtwo, Thunderbolt! Don't let that shadow enter Lugia's body!!"
As Ash's voice fell, two golden electric beams shot out from the two Pokemon, illuminating the dark sky like daylight!
