Chapter 589 The Crowned Queen and Eterna

Chapter 589 The Crowned Queen and Eterna

When the topic of disaster came up, King Rachel frowned subconsciously.

Even after more than three thousand years, recalling the pain of the past still causes it to experience significant emotional fluctuations.

However, the Queen quickly regained her composure and continued speaking.

"For me, whose power is at its peak, that meteor disaster is nothing."

97

"With the help of the Spirit Horse, my mental and spiritual power have been fully enhanced. I can easily pierce through a meteor with the Star Shattering Power formed from spiritual energy and blast it into pieces."

"Therefore, after resolving that meteor shower, I once again saved the people of the empire, and the power of faith became even more solid."

A glint of blue light flashed in the Crowned King's eyes, which Qingyu keenly noticed.

The name "Star Shatter" for the Black Horse King's ultimate move was probably bestowed upon him by other humans when he became famous in that moment.

With the ability to pierce through a meteor in one strike, the power of the Queen of the Crests at her peak was probably no less than that of the normal Rayquaza.

As a king, its strength is more than enough to shoulder this responsibility.

However, things are clearly not that simple.

"I originally thought that was the end of it, but after acquiring more and more powerful forces, I felt a little uneasy."

There seemed to be a hint of regret in the Crowned Queen's voice.

"The Spirit Horse granted me the power to see through the past and foresee the future, but I was too arrogant at that time."

"I believe I can protect my people and lead them to a happy and prosperous life for all eternity."

"While I was immersed in my fantasy, a formidable enemy quietly appeared."

Three thousand years ago, the second catastrophe after the meteorite—

Aoba quickly pieced together what she knew about the past and immediately blurted out her guess, "Mukotani?"

"Mukutana—is that what humans call it now?"

After a moment of contemplation, King Lace Crown nodded.

"People at the time called it the Dark Night," and its appearance plunged the entire Galar into an eerie red glow.

""

"Sunlight could not penetrate the red light, and everything was plunged into darkness."

"This strange energy will gradually erode the Pokémon's rationality, causing those with weak willpower to go berserk and completely mad after their size increases dramatically."

"Their power was so great that the Galar Empire, which I founded, quickly fell into chaos and was almost completely destroyed."

"To resolve the 'Dark Night,' I have chosen to leave the Crown Temple and embark on an expedition to the other side of Galar."

"but----"

"I failed."

King Rai-King paused, then shook his head weakly.

"Dark Night's" figure was as imposing as a mountain; even riding the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse, my countless attacks could not harm it in the slightest.

"In the end, my desperate charge was nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and I was utterly defeated."

How could Raikouou lose to Mugentai?

The history of Galar doesn't seem to be like this—

Qingyu thought about it and seemed to understand what was going on.

So, before Zacian and Zamazenta appeared, Raikou went to fight alone?

It's normal to lose if you can't beat them.

Even if Eternatus is not a strong contender, it is still a result of being targeted by the Sword and Shield duo. However, it has a significant advantage in every aspect when fighting Raiden in a 1v1.

The explosive power that Calyrex was so proud of was, in the eyes of Eternatus, whose size had increased countless times in its Giant Transformation, merely a tickle at best.

Without the Giant Beast Slash and Giant Beast Bullet, anyone who comes to attack it will only scratch the surface.

"After that battle, my faith began to wane, and I had to retreat to the Crown Snowfield to heal my wounds."

"The invincible king fell before his subjects. That sense of defeat probably shook many hearts, making them begin to doubt whether I was the destined king."

Not only the Crowned King, but even the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse had a hint of regret in their eyes, as if they felt it was not worth it.

But the Queen of the Rachelnes herself seemed to take it all in stride.

"Later, while I was recuperating, I heard a lot about what was happening outside."

"At the height of Dark Night's power, a pair of heroic siblings appeared on the battlefield and fought him for months with swords and shields from their mouths, eventually sealing Dark Night back into the ley lines."

"Some humans have begun to believe in them, hoping that they can remain in the Galar Empire and protect the imperial order with me."

"The heroes named Zacian and Zamazent did not accept the people's invitation and soon disappeared. No one has seen them again for many years since."

"And it was at that time that I began to reflect on '7'"

"Am I truly a worthy king?"

Hearing this, Qingyu seemed to be deep in thought.

After such a terrible incident, not only did he fail to protect his own people, but he also lost in terms of strength to two heroes who suddenly appeared.

If it were any other king with even a shred of selfishness, it wouldn't be surprising if he turned to the dark side by now.

Unlike the Crown of Clare, from the very beginning of its kingdom, it was solely dedicated to fulfilling its duty to protect its subjects.

Therefore, it only reflects on itself.

And if even that can't be done—

The Queen of the Lace-Crowned is truly capable of finding someone more suitable to be king, and willingly relinquishing her position to them.

No wonder the Galatians called him the Wise King; it was indeed a simple and selfless sentiment.

Under the gazes of Qingyu and Zhulan, the Brilliant King spoke again, slowly recounting the last fragment of past history.

"From that time on, I had the idea of ​​retiring."

"The abundant power I wield can solve the problem of food and clothing for my subjects, freeing them from the crisis of survival, but it also makes them unwilling to develop and progress."

"Perhaps when I was leading them to expand their territory and cultivate the land, the Creator had already seen my mistake, and that's why he sent down the meteorite that awakened the darkness as a warning."

"Humanity must ultimately find its own path."

Qingyu raised an eyebrow, her expression slightly complicated.

Would Arceus do something so unnecessary?

It's hard to say for sure. Perhaps, just like Zacian and Zamazenta, which act as a "safety net" for protecting Galar, Eternatus is also one of the punishments for correcting a wrong path.

How could an ordinary person like Him possibly know how far into the future His eyes could have seen when He created the world?

It's better to keep listening to the rest of the story.

The "king" that the Galatian royals spoke of has yet to appear.

If even the Lady Crown doesn't know of such a person, then even if Sord and Syldi, that pair of clowns, tell the whole story, it's just a publicity stunt.

These are our true ancestors! If you're so capable, why don't you resurrect your ancestors and have a debate with them?

"After I stayed in the Crown Temple and stopped coming out of the mountains, humanity, just as I had predicted, had no choice but to start relying on its own strength."

"People picked up the plows and rakes that had long been abandoned and started a new life in cooperation with Pokémon."

"My subjects, who once relied too much on me, have finally rediscovered the power to stand on the foundation of nature."

"The Galar Empire collapsed on its own, and the new Galar Kingdom was established on the ruins."

"I am gratified that even though the power of my faith is slowly fading, I have no regrets."

"but----"

"Just as I was about to lay down my burdens and fall into a deep sleep, something else happened."

At this point, the Crowned King's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"A charlatan from Carlos, through some unknown means, seized the throne and, with the help of the people of Galar, launched a counterattack against Carlos, thus beginning an invasion I never imagined."

"This war that took place within humanity produced no winners on either side."

"After losing his companions, the King of Carlos went mad and created a powerful weapon that nearly destroyed his kingdom."

What about Carlos?

Qingyu and Zhulan both pricked up their ears, as if they had heard some incredible knowledge.

The war between Carlos and Galar —

No wonder AZ did such extreme things three thousand years ago; now everything makes sense.

"The power of the weapon devoured all the Galar warriors who went on the expedition to Carlos, leaving them, along with that false king, forever on the land on the other side of the ocean."

"At that time, I had been almost forgotten by humanity, and I possessed less than one-tenth of my former power, so I was unable to stop them—"

"It was from that time that Carlos and Galar forged a blood feud that remains unresolved to this day."

The Crowned King's tone was full of sighs.

"Later, I also met that wandering king, and after talking with him, I finally made up my mind," "If one day I am also blinded by anger and do something irrational, Galar probably has no one or Pokémon that can stop me."

"Instead of worrying about such a future, I'd rather seal myself away and become a completely forgotten part of history."

"So I released my two beloved horses that had followed me for so long, and quietly waited for the moment when they would be completely forgotten."

"After living in a daze for a thousand years, until just a few days ago—"

Halfway through her sentence, the Queen of the Raiguans suddenly looked at Qingyu with a somewhat subtle expression.

"I vaguely felt the power of faith from humanity again after a long time, and instinctively began to search for my own believers."

"That's how the chance encounter in Frozen Village came about."

'

Qingyu blinked and subconsciously pointed to herself.

So it was my appearance that disrupted the Queen's original plan?

However, the fact that a former king would want to disappear quietly suggests that his arrival in Galar might also be part of Arceus's plan.

That's right, everything was directed by that person!

"That's a good thing!"

Seeing that the story was over, Qingyu walked forward with a grin and patted the bud crown of the Brilliant King on the horse's back.

Once its power was restored, patterns symbolizing constellations began to appear on the crown, and even a few white petals could be faintly seen on its top.

"After seeing how humans live now, don't you think you're still a bit arrogant?"

King Rai-King was somewhat surprised by Qing-Yu's words, so he gestured for him to continue.

"After experiencing a crisis, perhaps humanity has already realized that it cannot rely solely on external forces, and that only by developing itself can it truly solve problems?"

"Humans are very complex creatures. Even if bad people occasionally deceive others and gain their trust, most people are still kind at heart. That's why the same thing hasn't happened again in the past three thousand years."

"Moreover, even if you deliberately concealed all clues about yourself, there are still people in Frozen Village who remember your existence and look forward to your return."

Are you sure you want to let down the expectations of your people?

Qingyu's tone was slightly teasing, but she had indeed touched on the most troubling part of the Lady Crown King's heart—

After a wry smile, it could only shake its head.

"Maybe it's like you said, maybe I'm just being too dramatic."

"There may be a more reasonable solution, and handing this world over to humanity does not mean that I have to leave."

""

"Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to reappear when necessary and offer them assistance?"

"Therefore, this time, I do not intend to contact my subjects again using the title of 'King of Abundance.'"

"Just like three thousand years ago, I will remain in this Crown Temple, which holds countless memories of the past, waiting for an opportunity to arrive."

"The power the Spirit Horse lent me tells me that this opportunity might not be too far away, right?"

The Queen of the Lace Crown had a wise look in her eyes, and when she looked at Qingyu, it was as if she could see into the future.

It seems to know what will happen in the future?

Qingyu scratched his head, roughly understanding what the Queen of the Lace Crown meant.

Now is not the time for it to make a comeback.

When Chairman Rose's plan is complete, and Eterna reappears in the world—

This king, who once suffered a great defeat at the hands of Mugentana, will surely reappear before his subjects in his full glory.

This time, it will reclaim its lost prestige!

"I sincerely look forward to the king's arrival."

Qingyu nodded, which meant that she and the Queen of the Brilliant Crown had reached a consensus.

Therefore, there's no rush to make the Pokémon Legends video series about Calyrex.

Once Eternatus appears, it will naturally appear on the battlefield where it fights Eternatus and fight alongside humanity.

After bidding farewell to the Crown King who remained at the Crown Temple, Qingyu and Zhulan did not stay there any longer and quickly boarded the train back to Gongmen City.

"Shouldn't we continue the investigation a little longer? The legends about giants are actually quite valuable for research."

Zhu Lan asked curiously.

Although she knew that Qingyu must have her own ideas, her professional instincts as a mythologist made her somewhat interested in the five giants sealed in the Crown Snowfield.

After all, there are only three Legendary Regiments in the Hoenn region; the existence of the other two may have been completely unknown to humankind in the past.

"I'll find out when I have the chance. Right now, Galar has more important things to deal with."

Qingyu said casually.

"The Masters Tournament has only just begun, and it wouldn't be good to cause trouble for the Galar League at this time."

"That's true—"

Zhu Lan nodded, then looked at Qing Yu.

"Well then, I'll be waiting for you at the Masters Tournament!"
