"Rumble!"
Terrifying lightning surged wildly within the dark, oppressive clouds, as if each strike contained the power to destroy the world.
Zekrom's dark figure was bathed in azure lightning, constantly weaving through the clouds.
Bolts of lightning continuously struck its body, and an incredibly terrifying aura surged from it.
On the ground, the soldiers watched the doomsday-like scene with horrified expressions.
"Prince Draconis..."
This sight had completely surpassed the understanding of Gerolt and the others.
They had seen countless Magical Beasts, but never one with such power.
That was no ordinary Magical Beast; it was a walking natural disaster!
If its full power erupted, the entire kingdom would probably be destroyed by that force!
Too weak... Compared to that Zekrom, their strength was still too weak. They couldn't help Prince Draconis at all in this level of battle.
Gerolt tightened his grip on his weapon.
"Gulp!"
The surrounding soldiers also watched the scene with horrified expressions.
Prince Draconis... Could their Prince Draconis withstand First Prince Lando's attack?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Draconis.
He was still hovering high in the sky, riding White Kyurem with a calm expression.
White Kyurem remained still in mid-air, its gaze calmly watching Zekrom's movements, its white fur gently swaying in the wind.
Azure electric light continuously flickered, reflecting in White Kyurem's eyes.
Finally, the lightning around Zekrom reached its critical point, and its entire body was enveloped in that terrifying Electric-type energy.
The surging lightning in the clouds suddenly fell silent, as if all its energy had been absorbed by Zekrom.
Zekrom's dark body slowly descended, looking at White Kyurem opposite it.
"No one can stop my dominion!" Lando roared, "I am The First Prince of the Eindoak Kingdom, Zekrom, in my name, crush them!"
The next second, Zekrom moved.
Enveloped in surging azure lightning, it charged fiercely towards White Kyurem and Draconis with its most primal attack.
This was Zekrom's strongest attack, Thunder Strike!
"Hmm..."
White Kyurem watched this scene, narrowing its eyes slightly and slowly exhaling through its nostrils.
Draconis's gaze swept over the many humans and Pokémon on the plain below.
Looking at their worried faces, he closed his eyes, then opened them with determination.
"Big Brother, I'm sorry."
The next second, an incredibly terrifying power erupted from White Kyurem's body.
The dense dark clouds in the sky were instantly dispelled, and scorching yet extremely cold ice-blue flames shot up from its body, carrying an aura that seemed to freeze all things yet burn everything to ashes, directly meeting Zekrom.
Extreme Cold Flame, White Kyurem's strongest attack!
The sky was dyed different colors by these two distinctly different energies. Beneath the firmament, White Kyurem and Zekrom collided fiercely.
With a "boom!" a massive explosion occurred.
An incredibly vast fluctuation swept out in all directions from the two dragons, followed by a huge mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
"Prince Draconis!"
Watching the terrifying scene, Ryan couldn't help but shout.
At this moment, all the humans and Pokémon of Draconis's army couldn't help but worry for Draconis.
However, the next second, a dark figure fell from the mushroom cloud towards the earth like a kite with a broken string.
That was... Prince Lando!
Everyone's pupils contracted, but before they could react, the unharmed White Kyurem followed closely, catching up to the defeated Zekrom almost instantly.
That was...!
Prince Lando and his Divine Dragon were defeated by Prince Draconis in one move!
Shocked expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
At this moment, White Kyurem had already caught up to Zekrom.
White Kyurem's attack not only severely injured Zekrom but also utterly crushed First Prince Lando's ambition and belief.
The severely injured Zekrom no longer had the strength to protect Lando.
His body finally detached from Zekrom, plummeting towards the earth.
"Dragonite!" Draconis shouted.
"Woo!"
Dragonite flew from the ground, accurately catching the unconscious Lando.
Draconis, meanwhile, turned his gaze to the severely injured Zekrom.
White Kyurem's Dragon Claw tightly gripped Zekrom, seemingly wanting to devour it as well.
Feeling that it was about to be devoured, Zekrom instinctively began to struggle, even though it was severely injured.
"Draconis, it's up to you!"
White Kyurem's deep voice echoed in Draconis's mind.
The next second, Draconis felt a white light flash, and his consciousness appeared in a pitch-black space.
And in front, Zekrom's disheveled body lay precisely at the center of this space.
This was clearly Zekrom's inner world!
The sound of the wind, White Kyurem's heavy breathing, the shouts of the soldiers below—all surrounding sounds vanished.
Draconis looked at Zekrom in front of him, then stepped forward, squatting before Zekrom's massive head, and reaching out to touch its head.
"Zekrom, you've lost."
Zekrom didn't speak; it merely opened its eyes and looked at Draconis with its azure gaze.
"I want to create a world where humans and Pokémon can live together. This is my ideal, Zekrom, please join me in realizing this ideal!"
Draconis's tone was firm, and an incredibly resolute power of conviction surged from him.
This conviction... was even firmer than that of Lando, the human it had previously acknowledged!
And this ideal was grander and more magnificent than Lando's, making one yearn and look forward to it!
This made Zekrom pause slightly.
"Is this your ideal?" Zekrom murmured.
Draconis extended his right hand towards Zekrom.
"So-called truth and ideals are not fundamentally contradictory. To turn ideals into truth, and to realize ideals based on truth. Without truth, ideals are ultimately illusions."
"Zekrom, Kyurem and I will accept everything, whether it's truth or ideals, whether it's you or Reshiram. We will ultimately create a better future, free from war and oppression!"
Zekrom stared blankly at the human before it.
"I understand," Zekrom murmured, its tone gradually becoming firm, "I have felt your conviction."
The next second, Draconis's consciousness returned to reality.
The wind was fierce around him. He was riding White Kyurem, looking at the no longer resisting Zekrom, and he already understood Zekrom's choice in his heart.
"Kyurem, fuse!" Draconis shouted.
White Kyurem's gaze sharpened.
The next second, Zekrom's body erupted with dazzling light.
The scene that had just happened to Reshiram was replayed on Zekrom's body.
The will representing [Ideals] finally returned to its body, and a dark yet solemn power slowly merged into White Kyurem's body.
Within the light, Kyurem's appearance changed once more.
Black elements slowly emerged from White Kyurem's body, achieving a perfect fusion with the white and gray colors, and the original Divine Dragon, symbolizing the origin of the Tao, reappeared in the world!
Its massive and divine body, simply by remaining still, could make one feel endless majesty, and it would compel all who saw this Divine Dragon to worship it.
On the ground, as the three Tao Dragons merged into one, all the frozen soldiers also defrosted.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look up at the exalted Divine Dragon in the sky and the young man riding on it.
The war... is over?
The young soldiers looked confused. They turned their heads and looked around at their comrades or enemy troops.
The king they served had been defeated; continuing the war seemed meaningless now.
"Prince Draconis!"
Unlike these soldiers, the people of Draconis's army cheered and shouted excitedly.
Their Prince Draconis had won!
At this moment, everyone knew that from now on, the Eindoak Kingdom belonged to this youngest prince, Draconis.
"Third Brother..."
Watching the scene, The Second Prince Lance showed a bitter smile on his face.
He looked at his elder brother, who was not far away and had fallen into a coma due to the severe impact, then couldn't help but murmur:
"Perhaps this is the best outcome?"
A ray of golden sunset pierced through the thick clouds, shining on the scarred earth and the faces of the soldiers.
Draconis rode on Kyurem, and together they looked down at everything below, then he declared loudly:
"I announce that from this moment on, the war is over!"
His voice, amplified by Kyurem's power, echoed between heaven and earth, as if announcing something.
On the distant cliff, the three swords of justice, Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion, who had arrived late, looked at the figure in the sky.
"Draconis did it." Cobalion's eyes were filled with joy.
"Hehe, I knew he could do it!" Terrakion was extremely excited.
"That's great." Virizion also looked relaxed. Its tone paused slightly, and its gaze then turned to the dense crowd of human soldiers below: "However, this is not over yet..."
Although the war was over, there were still many things waiting for them to do on this land.
*
The great battle ended. Although the war did not last too long, it still brought considerable losses to the Unova region.
Some villages and towns were reduced to ruins in the flames of war, and the entire Unova region was in ruins, waiting to be rebuilt.
With the defeat of First Prince Lando and The Second Prince Lance, all their territories and armies were brought under Draconis's command.
Under the absolute power suppression of Draconis and Kyurem, those lords, even if unwilling, could only choose to submit.
The Old King officially announced that Third Prince Draconis was the legitimate heir, and the next king of the Eindoak Kingdom would be succeeded by Third Prince Draconis.
Coupled with Draconis and Nimbasa City's actions in accepting refugees and stopping the war, word-of-mouth spread among the Commoners, and for a time, Draconis's prestige among the Commoners almost reached its peak.
It is said that Prince Draconis, unable to bear seeing countless humans and Magical Beasts lose their lives and homes due to war, joined with the Divine Dragon to stop the war and save everyone.
Nimbasa City, inside the castle.
Alfred looked at Draconis, who was sitting behind the desk reviewing documents, and said softly:
"Your Highness, the coronation ceremony is about to begin."
"Hmm." Draconis nodded slightly. He had already heard the cheers of the Commoners outside the castle.
A week had passed since the Battle of Humilau City.
The war was over, and the Unova region was in ruins, waiting to be rebuilt. Although the Unova region had ushered in long-awaited peace, there were still many things waiting for them to do on this land.
Next, the most important thing was to develop Unova, establish the Pokémon League, and promote Pokémon and Trainer culture to gradually integrate humans and Pokémon.
In addition... Draconis turned his attention to the loyalty of the lords in the vassal territories.
Well, since they learned the outcome of the war, the loyalty of most lords had risen to 50 or 60, and Sharon of Opelucid Territory had even directly risen to 90.
However, some lords' satisfaction still remained at 20 or 30.
Draconis's mind conjured the things he needed to do next. At that time, his existence would undoubtedly become the enemy of these lords and nobles.
But Draconis was not afraid. Now with Tri-Fusion Kyurem, no one in the Unova region would be able to stop his progress.
Draconis's gaze turned to Kyurem behind him.

Looking at Kyurem's new panel, Draconis breathed a sigh of relief.
After fusing with Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem gained all their abilities, and its overall power was elevated to a new stage.
More importantly, its new ability allowed it to become the undisputed strongest dragon.
"Kyurem, please continue to look after me in the future," Draconis said.
"Hmm." Kyurem nodded slightly. It opened its eyes and said in a deep voice, "You should go see those humans and Magical Beasts."
"No hurry, there's still half an hour until the coronation ceremony." Draconis said. Before that, he had one more thing to do.
Thinking of this, Draconis stood up and walked down the castle's spiral staircase to a room downstairs.
Lance was standing by the window, staring blankly at the humans and Magical Beasts gathered outside the castle.
They were cheering, anticipating, and waiting for the birth of a new king.
Humans and Magical Beasts seemed to have no difference at this moment.
"Second Brother," Draconis called out.
Lance turned his head to look at the newcomer. He took a deep breath and said softly, "You were right, Third Brother."
"Compared to you, Big Brother's and my convictions were truly... too narrow."
"From now on, Eindoak is yours."
"What are your plans for the future, Second Brother?" Draconis asked.
Now alone, Lance felt an unprecedented sense of lightness.
He closed his eyes and said, "This world is vast. I want to leave the kingdom and see other places."
Draconis was silent. He then thought of the Pokémon in the Nursery within the territory and said:
"Second Brother, when you have time, go to the Nursery and see if you can find a Magical Beast that resonates with you. With it, your journey alone might not be so lonely."
"Thank you, Third Brother." Lance thanked softly, "Go, your coronation ceremony is about to begin. Those Commoners... those Magical Beasts are waiting for you."
Draconis nodded, then exited the room and went to another room.
First Prince Lando sat on the bed, looking dejected, lost in thought.
Hearing a sound, he looked up at the newcomer.
"You're here."
"Second Brother said he plans to leave the kingdom and see other places. What are your plans for the future, Big Brother?" Draconis asked.
"You plan to let us go?" Lando opened his eyes. "Aren't you afraid that Second Brother and I will make a comeback?"
"I promised Father King." Draconis walked to the window, looking at the clear blue sky outside, with white clouds slowly drifting by. "Besides... if I can defeat you once, I can defeat you a second time."
Hearing this, Lando gave a bitter smile. "You won, fine... From now on, the kingdom is yours. Since Second Brother plans to leave, I'll go see the outside world too!"
