334 Clash Of Gods Part 10 - Even More Surprises

And Author said.

"Let the last part be in Arceus' POV,"

And so it was foretold.

***

Front legs, Gone.

Plates, broken.

Planes, broken.

Cards, shattered.

Despite still having the second-highest energy here and more means than everyone here, I still end up losing.

Why?

Maybe it's due to the fact that I didn't use Omniscient. However, even without it, I shouldn't have lost.

I lost due to a lack of information, which shouldn't have been possible even without Omniscient.

Timelines were within my sight thanks to Celebi. Victory was in my hands thanks to Victini.

The power of Space, Time, and Chaos was beside me.

The Universe was on my side. Even if it was barely able to use its strength due to only being a fragment.

Plates that allowed me to have an advantage against anyone.

Plates that can restrict laws and bend Space-Time.

Even a Plate that could affect one's soul despite having Origin on their side.

Was it due to me making enemies with my supposed allies?

No, Regigigas nor Calyrex group had a significant role in this, even if they tag team with Necrozma I would've still won.

It wasn't MISSINGNO who had taken over as the Universe Soul. No, despite how powerful the Universe can be, how could MISSINGNO know how to play the world better than me?

MISSINGNO's use in their current raid battle has been mostly supported after confirming most attack methods it got can easily be predicted by me.

The Soul Plate's destruction wasn't a big deal as it had already fulfilled its role. Necrozma has lost reason and will not be able to get out of that state for a very long time. More than enough to kill Necrozma than needed.

Eternatus intervention? Eternatus had already shown his side, attacking whichever side looked like it would win so for now he's temporarily my ally giving me some space to breathe.

If he can stay on my side for a little longer and not suddenly ambush me like he always does, it won't take much for me to turn this around. The only troublesome person there is Ouroboros, Regigigas is a meathead, Shub is predictable, especially when compared to its predecessor and Mike's Destruction is bland.

Necrozma no longer counts with her insane state, she had even upped to let go of the God Slaying Weapons she created and fight me in her true form using beams and physical attacks.

Her current self may even lose to Mike and that's mostly due to Destruction rules.

Variable MIke? Indeed, his arrival made things difficult but compared with fighting Necrozma without using the Soul Plate. The battle isn't all that difficult.

So then why am I certain I lose?

Simply because I underestimated someone, before his arrival I did need to make sure I clear out the waste around me.

#Divinity#

Just because the Soul Plate is gone doesn't mean it's fully gone.

The Soul Plate is no different from Conceptual Gods, even if it is destroyed as long as the Universe exists a new one would come forth.

Similarly to Conceptual Gods, it can use its abilities to affect anywhere across the Universe, and so Divinity was created.

Those who believe in I, the creator, Arceus, would boost my strength based on the number of believers. It wasn't anything useful until Necrozma and Adam gave me a helping hand unintentionally.

Given me the chance to play as a bountiful God to humans. Their love makes me stronger.

#Healing Wish#

With a thought, I gave Progenitor Jirachi the signal to heal me. If someone else were to use Healing Wish in an attempt to heal me, death was certain, and it may not even provide an hour worth of healing.

For Jirachi, this isn't difficult in the slightest.

Now fully healed, I distance myself away from them as I look at them foolishly.

There was a reason I deemed only Necrozma to have the possibility to kill me and even then I never that possibility was exponentially small.

Everything they may have planned might have gone their way, but it doesn't mean they have won.

"I tribute Spiritual Plane to summon Origin Plane!" I announced using the Soul Plate together with my understanding of Space Law to a sort of Switch effect.

"Then I activate the Counter Trap Card, Destruction Is A B*tch!" Hearing Mike's voice, I wasn't certain if he was being serious or if he actually has a counter.

Not surprisingly he tried to Destroy my connection with the Soul Plate, but with it being fueled by my Origin that's practically impossible without doing this forever, which he didn't try.

With the Spiritual Plane now switch with the Origin Plane, everything I have set everything for my new opponent's arrival.

"So, when will you show yourself, Adam?" I asked.

Killing someone doesn't mean they'll die, that's a fact I know quite well. I suppose expecting Necrozma to accomplish anything right was a miscalculation on my part, but I suppose neither of us knew just how strong he is.

Take Ouroboros for example.

Look how fast she has grown after gaining Limitless, so then why hadn't Adam grown much while having it for so long? The answer should be that he was hiding his true strength the whole time.

Sadly, even though I'm 99.9999% sure he's alive, he didn't make his appearance yet. Possibly hoping to get a good chance to backstab me.

But that won't happen, not when everyone here will die soon.

#Stars of Judgement#

Certain death for everyone around me spun as I stare at the Pokemons who looked at me cautiously, I keenly notice 3 fools who were still fighting and not getting ready to defend themselves.

Eternatus who was chasing Mike and Mike who was fighting Necrozma.

Strangely, Mike has been doing his very best to not just target Necrozma but also kill her.

A reckless action he had done to Giratina as well, but he shouldn't compare a High-Divine with a Peak-Divine... Peak-Divine huh...

Is his goal?

*ding*

"Distractedsss?" Ouroboros mocks, but failed to get past my Stars of Judgement, one even manages to damage her despite how fast Ouroboros can get with that size.

"Indeed, I'm distracted, but it doesn't mean you all have a winning chance because of it. Here's a quick clarification on why," I answered sending my Stars of Judgement at Ouroboros, Shub, and Regigigas while still observing Mike.

At this time, due to Necrozma's current stupidity, he allowed him to press her to the ground. This short moment where his claw is on her head meant another enemy I have to fight due to Mike's weakness.

#Destroy#

Destruction energy spread through Necrozma's body, however, the speed at which he's doing this is too slow. This led to Necrozma's insanity being destroyed first, allowing her to regain sentience.

So what will Necrozma do now?

"You owe me one," Necrozma smiled?

I suppose I should've expected Necrozma to have a back of plan in case of her defeat, but can this be counted as a defeat?

"Arceus, fate's a b*tch," Necrozma mocks as her body was destroyed.

So that's where I messed up.

Staring into space, I saw my end. A Pokemon flew high in space, as powerful psychic energy gathered into a small humanoid weapon (gun). Its soul was quite familiar too, a Pokemon whom I thought was either dead or left the timeline.

Abel.

I should've expected Adam wouldn't fight me. There are only 2 things that ever affect his actions.

His curiosity transcends all his priorities and secondly humanity.

He intervened deeming humanity would not survive if either of us wins. And instead of fighting for humanity's sake, he had given them a chance.

He had already set 2 winners for this war, either would lead to humanity's safety. One unknowingly follows his tunes and one fully aware that he's helping him.

His plan together with fate was the reason I ended up losing.

At least, as long as the latter wins, he can die in peace. The world and the Pokemons within it won't go down in flames with him in charge, but the other?

For the sake of all things, do not let that variable win.
