Above the Castelia Plains, the three factions had all arrived.
Lando looked at his third brother, who was riding Kyurem, and the empty space behind him, saying in a deep voice:
"Since when did Third Brother become so arrogant? Do you think you can compete with us for that position with just your own strength?"
Draconis shook his head: "I am enough alone."
"Hmph, arrogant."
However, before Lance finished speaking, a rumbling sound approached from the distance.
"Your Highness is not alone!"
Everyone was slightly startled and immediately looked up.
They saw a gray-blue banner approaching from afar, and behind that banner was a massive army.
The army arrived at the Castelia Plains, forming a three-way standoff with the armies of the other two kings.
Gerolt and Haxorus stood at the front, and behind him were the fifty thousand soldiers and magical beasts who had joined Nimbasa City!
"Your Highness Draconis, we are late!"
The soldiers behind Gerolt were full of fighting spirit. Unlike before, this time they actively participated in the war!
As subjects, they could not let His Highness Draconis fight alone!
Everything was for the sake of protecting the ideals of His Highness Draconis, and the relatives living in Nimbasa City!
"Gerolt?" Seeing the arrival, Draconis was slightly taken aback.
"Your Highness Draconis, we are willing to serve you!" Gerolt said.
During this period, various territories submitted one after another. According to the progress, His Highness Draconis would soon launch the final decisive battle against the other two kings on the Castelia Plains.
The moment they heard the news, they rushed over from Nimbasa City.
Gerolt immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they finally arrived at the last moment.
The First Prince Lando looked at the army, his thick brows furrowed, and he snorted coldly, saying:
"Hmph, traitors! All troops heed the order, attack! Those who betray shall die!"
"Charge!"
The massive army approached, and accompanied by waves of monstrous battle roars, Lando's three hundred thousand troops launched a full charge toward the enemy.
Seeing this situation, The Second Prince Lance let out a sigh.
"Everyone, go! Convey our will to the world!"
As his voice fell, the hundreds of thousands of magical beasts beneath the True Dragon Reshiram began to move.
The battle roars soared into the sky. Instantly, dust flew between heaven and earth, mixing with snowflakes to form a sky full of white smoke and dust.
Draconis watched this scene with calm eyes. Seeing the actions of his two elder brothers, he merely sighed lightly and shook his head:
"There is no need to sacrifice any more people."
"Kyurem."
"Mhm." Kyurem looked down at the humans below, then replied, its deep, ancient voice echoing throughout the world.
The next second, an ancient yet majestic aura swept out from its body, and the atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly shifted.
Sensing this aura, Zekrom and Reshiram on the other side of the sky changed their expressions drastically.
Before the soldiers below could react, an aura of extreme cold swept across the entire battlefield.
"Crack!"
Ice began to spread rapidly upwards from the soldiers' feet—limbs, bodies, arms, weapons, heads... In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of thousands of troops were frozen in place.
Silence descended upon the entire field!
Gerolt and the others watched this terrifying scene in disbelief, unable to stop themselves from swallowing hard.
Divine Dragon... Is this the true power of the Divine Dragon named Kyurem?
Seeing this scene, The First Prince Lando suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed intensely on Kyurem.
The Second Prince Lance also cast a look of disbelief towards Kyurem.
"There is no need to involve so many innocent humans and magical beasts in the struggle between us three brothers," Draconis said to his two elder brothers.
A trace of deep dread flashed in Lando's eyes, but as a king, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Zekrom, reveal our ideals to the world!"
"Reshiram." Lance closed his eyes and said softly: "To realize our wish, please go all out next!"
"I have felt your ideals." A light emerged in the eyes of Reshiram and Zekrom.
With the Power of Ideals added to them, the turbine engines on their tails spewed out pale blue lightning and fiery red flames, respectively.
Instantly, the two Divine Dragons transformed into Overdrive Mode.
Clearly, they had gained even greater power.
On the ground, Gerolt and the others showed worry.
The two Divine Dragons had become stronger, yet His Highness's Kyurem showed no change.
"Your Highness..."
"Is this the boost that human ideals give to Reshiram and Zekrom?"
Draconis watched this scene with calm eyes.
"Then, let me see just how massive the ideals you hold to change this world truly are!"
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a loud dragon roar, Zekrom released massive, crisscrossing lightning bolts all over its body, launching an overwhelming attack simultaneously toward Reshiram and Kyurem.
"Rumble!"
Rolling dark clouds gathered densely, and deep blue lightning covered almost the entire sky, filling the entire firmament.
Facing this move, Reshiram flapped its white wings.
The temperature of the surrounding air was rising rapidly. Wisps of flame coiled around Reshiram's body, condensing into a massive, scorching fireball above its head.
The fireball met the lightning, and the two vastly different energies collided, erupting in an even more terrifying fluctuation.
"Boom!"
The massive explosion echoed across the sky, and the entire heavens were dyed half blue and half red.
Kyurem released Extreme Cold Ice Energy around its body, completely neutralizing Zekrom's attack.
Zekrom and Reshiram spiraled high into the sky, their bodies turning into two meteors, streaking across the heavens and constantly engaging in fierce collisions.
Draconis did not immediately let Kyurem participate, but calmly watched the scene.
The power of Legendary Pokémon is truly terrifying... Now he finally understood why the Dragon Vein of the Unova region was shattered.
At this moment, Draconis was extremely glad he chose to walk his own path.
Otherwise, the combined power of Zekrom and Reshiram would bring even more disastrous results to this land.
"Kyurem, go retrieve your true power!" Draconis said in a deep voice.
"Mhm."
Kyurem nodded slightly, its gaze locked onto the two intertwined figures in mid-air.
The next second, its massive body moved.
It transformed into an ice-blue afterimage, and an extremely terrifying power swept out from its body, spreading like a storm in all directions.
Frozen World!
Within a few breaths, the entire Castelia Plains was frozen in ice.
This was the result of Kyurem deliberately controlling its power. If it unleashed its full strength, perhaps half of Unova would be instantly frozen in ice!
In mid-air, Reshiram was the first to be affected by this power. Its figure shifted slightly, and a layer of frost continuously spread along its white fur.
Realizing the danger, Reshiram instantly burst forth with scorching flames, melting all the frost.
But Zekrom was not so lucky.
Before it could even react, its massive dragon body was frozen solid and then crashed heavily onto the plain below.
Reshiram was shocked. What was going on?!
It and Zekrom had clearly absorbed the Power of Human Ideals, so why were they still completely defenseless against this shell of Kyurem?
Before Reshiram could think further, Kyurem's massive body appeared before its eyes.
The wings, covered with several ice spikes, firmly gripped Reshiram's body. The immense force seemed intent on merging Reshiram into Kyurem's own body.
This Kyurem wanted to devour it and absorb its power!
Realizing this, Reshiram immediately began to struggle fiercely.
The Second Prince Lance on its back noticed Reshiram's abnormality, immediately frowned, and looked up at Draconis riding on Kyurem's back, exclaiming in shock:
"What did you do?"
Draconis merely shook his head and said calmly: "Second Brother, haven't you realized it yet?"
Lance was slightly stunned and subconsciously asked: "What?"
"The self-righteous ideals held by you and Elder Brother are merely excuses for you to compete for the throne."
"In the days since you launched this war, countless humans and magical beasts have lost their homes, and even their lives."
"Is this the 'Liberation' you desire?"
"Can you truly not see it? If this war continues, how many more humans and magical beasts will lose their lives on this land?"
Lance gritted his teeth: "All of this is a necessary sacrifice! Once the war is over, no one on this land will ever enslave magical beasts again. This is the world I want to create!"
"So this is the path you pursue?" Draconis firmly denied: "No, you are wrong. Humans and magical beasts are both members living together on this land. Even I cannot guarantee that the two races will be completely separated, unless only humans remain on this land!"
"No, that won't happen!" At this moment, Lance's conviction couldn't help but waver.
"The Dragon Vein is already in chaos because of the struggle between you and Elder Brother. If you continue, the Dragon Vein will collapse, and your actions will bring catastrophic disaster to the humans and magical beasts on this land!" Draconis said in a deep voice.
The Dragon Vein is in chaos? Lance's pupils constricted. As a member of the royal family, he naturally knew the consequences of the Dragon Vein's destruction... At this moment, the wavering of his conviction became even more obvious.
Draconis stretched out his hand toward him and Reshiram.
"Second Brother, leave the rest to Kyurem and me. Your ideals and mine are not in conflict."
"You have been to my Nimbasa City, and I believe you have seen the magical beasts and humans living there. As long as humans and magical beasts exist, they are destined to clash; this is inevitable. What we must do is guide these two distinct races to merge and create a more beautiful world."
"A more beautiful world..."
A trace of confusion appeared in Lance's eyes.
Images of what he witnessed during his last visit to Nimbasa City appeared in his mind.
Although he hadn't investigated closely, he could sense that the magical beasts there lived very happily and contentedly.
At this moment, Lance couldn't help but feel that perhaps his Third Brother was right.
He looked at the Kyurem before him, which possessed overwhelming power, and couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
"Why tell me all this? You could have simply devoured Reshiram and me."
"Because what I want is not devouring, but recognition." Draconis looked into Lance's eyes and said slowly: "I want you and Reshiram to recognize my philosophy. Kyurem and I will create a world that is better suited for humans, and also better suited for magical beasts."
"A place where there is no oppression, no war. Where both humans and magical beasts can live freely and happily—working together, growing together, living together, fighting together."
"Does a world like that truly exist?" Lance couldn't help but ask softly.
"I guarantee it," Draconis said.
...
Lance remained silent for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Third Brother, you truly have grown up!"
The next second, a dazzling light erupted from Reshiram's body.
A pure white and scorching energy slowly poured into Kyurem's body.
With the will pouring into its body, Kyurem finally retrieved its original power.
Within the light, Kyurem's appearance rapidly began to change.
Its upper body lifted, standing on two legs. Its left ice horn was replaced by fur similar to Reshiram's, and its formerly pupil-less eyes gained pupils the color of flames.
Its left forelimb was replaced by a wing-hand similar to Reshiram's, its right forelimb was a copy of the left made of ice, and its original wings retracted into its shoulders.
White fur grew on its chest and back. The ice on its tail completely disappeared, replaced by a white heat-emitting organ similar to Reshiram's tail.
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by a strange buzzing sound, Reshiram's figure completely vanished from this world.
In its place was White Kyurem, which had realized that a true world between Pokémon and humans was coming and would protect such a future!
Lance only felt the space beneath him loosen. Just as he thought he was about to fall, a pair of warm, strong hands suddenly grabbed his arm from within the white light.
Lance opened his eyes and saw Draconis looking at him, promising him:
"Second Brother, I will fulfill your wish. Leave the rest to me!"
Draconis took out a Poké Ball. Accompanied by a flash of white light, Dragonite's figure appeared in the sky.
Under Draconis's direction, it slowly carried Lance back to the ground.
At this moment, accompanied by massive lightning tearing through the sky, the frozen Zekrom finally broke out of the ice and flew back into the high altitude.
The First Prince Lando looked at Draconis and White Kyurem with horrified eyes. His thick brows were tightly furrowed, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"What did you do?!"
"Elder Brother, it's time to end this," Draconis said.
"End? No, impossible!"
Lando was unwilling. His three hundred thousand troops were still present; his ambition and his ideals had not yet been realized. How could it end just like this?!
"Third Brother, since you insist on interfering in this war, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Lando roared: "Zekrom, give all your power to me!"
As if sensing the even firmer conviction erupting from the person who recognized it, the turbine engine on Zekrom's tail lit up with an even brighter blue light.
"Rumble!"
A strange phenomenon occurred in the sky. Countless dark clouds gathered, and powerful lightning surged within every single cloud.
....
