Chapter 579 Traveling through the Orange Islands (4)
Asia Island.
This is the island known as "Sea God Island" among the many islands of the Orange Islands.
There is an ancient legend.
The spark at the beginning of the world was blown by a divine wind, illuminating the vast world.
Initially, what people could observe were three types of power.
Fire, electricity, ice!!
The three divine forces were born and nurtured by nature, gradually taking form.
Most of this natural energy tore through the void and vanished without a trace...
The remaining small portion eventually became the Three Divine Birds.
These are the Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno that later appeared!
There are many birds in the world, but divine right is unique.
[Ice, lightning, and fire—the three powers converge, unleashing divine power once more; this will be the moment of world destruction…]
Ye Kai touched the stone tablet in the ancient stone chamber of the sea god's shrine.
These are all dotted characters, which ordinary people cannot understand.
But he's different.
He inherited all of Rebecca's memories from the dream world.
Especially in that underwater pyramid in United States.
The sheer number of dotted characters he deciphered at the time was astronomical!
So much so that Ye Kai can now interpret dotted characters as easily as eating and drinking.
[The divine wind is divine power; the infinite gravity currents sweep across the heavens and earth, turning everything to dust...]
[THE GOD…OF Lugia……]
[God's True Name - Lugia...]
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle!!!!"
Lugia had already stopped in front of the shrine.
Its wings look like two giant hands.
He grabbed the offerings that people were presenting in the ancestral hall.
There is fresh elven meat, fresh tree fruit...
There are also evolution stones, and even exotic sweets, yokan (sweet bean jelly), and other good things that have gathered from all over the world.
The commotion drew the attention of the indigenous people of Asia Island, who came to investigate.
what's the situation? !
The sound was exactly the same as described in the ancient books.
Poseidon!!
The sea god has descended!!
It is said that once it unleashes its power, the "wind of infinite gravity" it whips up can trigger storms that last for up to 40 days!
At that time, everything in the world will be submerged in the ocean.
Even if it's not afraid of water, it will be pulverized by the all-pervasive divine wind!
Or they'll suffocate from the relentless downpour!
Upon seeing Lugia, the first witness immediately prostrated himself in worship.
Then came the second, the third...
From now on, the islanders will kneel far away!
No one dared to raise their heads, for fear of angering the sea god!
Why did they all kneel down?
[Maybe it's because I'm afraid...]
When Ye Yao inquired about Lugia's origins, Ye Kai patiently explained Lugia's story to her.
"...The offerings are not limited to...this..."
Lugia wasn't using her mind; she was speaking human language.
This sudden situation terrified the islanders!
"Great Sea God, is that what you mean?"
An elderly man dressed in fine clothes asked, trembling.
"GuwoowooWW!!!!"
Lugia roared angrily.
[I am the god of wind, not some sea god... You even got my name wrong... Get lost!!]
The old man was so terrified by Lugia's shout that he wet himself and was about to turn and run away.
But Lugia opened its blood-red maw, its almost limitless lung capacity forming a hurricane-like torrent that forcefully sucked him back!
[Who gave you permission to leave, you foolish human? I want to hear some music...]
Ye Kai couldn't help but laugh.
He has already used his superpowers, and people around him will automatically ignore his presence.
This includes Ye Yao, of course.
The two are now essentially perfectly invisible.
People will only see Lugia making a fool of himself.
The old man seemed to remember something.
They hurriedly prayed and prayed, and finally understood what this god wanted to do after descending.
"Quickly...quickly go and invite the Holy Maiden of the Festival, only her divine music can appease the wrath of the gods!"
About 3 minutes later.
A young girl dressed in the traditional ritual attire of the island, wearing a precious headdress made of silver feathers, slowly walked towards the ancestral hall.
She was holding a strange musical instrument.
That thing looked like some kind of large conch.
Tell me your real name...
"I am Fluura."
"Asian tribe, 653rd generation Celebration Saintess."
Does this bring back childhood memories?
[Why is it the 653rd generation...?]
Lugia possessed intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary humans, and had also exchanged souls with the Water King Qi Lian in his early years.
With the passage of time, the two have long since become one.
The girl looked at Lugia, first with fear, then with a complicated expression, and finally with relief.
"My Lord, do you really want to hear this?"
[explain……]
Lugia also plays favorites depending on who she's dealing with.
Seeing the beautiful young woman naturally gave him more patience.
After obtaining Lugia's consent, Flura began to tell a long story.
It turns out that this happened as early as ten thousand years ago.
Back then, the Orange Islands were not yet the Orange Islands.
This continent is the territory of the Three Divine Birds.
They seemed to have boundless energy, fighting endlessly day and night, battling until the world seemed to darken...
Ultimately, it was the foreign god who crushed the three divine birds with absolute power.
From then on, people's diverse and complex beliefs were all united into one.
And that powerful god was none other than Lugia!
However... that Lugia didn't work for nothing.
It made a pact with the royal family of this land at that time.
Every 10 to 20 years, at least one grand celebration must be held.
And during the celebration, the one who plays the sacred music must be a young girl…
If it were so easy to obtain favorable weather and abundant harvests, the royal family at the time would certainly have agreed.
As time went by, the conditions for becoming a festival saintess became fixed.
Applicants must be under 16 years old.
And the beautiful Asian girl became the perfect candidate for the saintess.
only……
Even gods cannot change human nature...
The saintess must be a virgin.
Before the ceremony, the saints of the past performed this ritual.
Many people died prematurely or lost their virginity due to various accidents.
It's one thing to die, but to lose one's virginity is a grave crime that would implicate the entire family!
In short, with the development of the times, the once large Asian population has dwindled.
The lineage of saintesses is often interrupted at times...
The Asian tribe is now a clan of fewer than a thousand people...
There's something even more important.
It's the divine song itself.
That piece of music was given to humanity by Professor Lugia.
Extremely complex and complicated.
Without decades of daily practice, it is impossible to play a beautiful and divine tune.
The music was taught face-to-face between the saints.
No sheet music or written records are allowed...
Lugia's powerful psychic abilities allow him to read minds; if he discovers cheating, the consequences will be dire!
So much so that, over thousands of years, the original Lugia were enraged upon hearing this.
Instead, it destroyed the ancient dynasties of the continent.
It's true that Lugia is both their strength and their weakness.
And then...
Three thousand years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky and shattered the continent... forming the shape of the Orange Islands.
And Lugia hasn't been seen by anyone for nearly a century...
In short, it was a long and winding road.
Today, the lineage of the Holy Maiden exists in name only.
Because the divine song was altered into a complete mess.
However, the Asian people still retained this "dross".
They were scared!
They feared that the sea god would one day return.
Slaughter all the descendants of the Asian royal family!
Not far away, Ye Kai could see it clearly.
Heh... it seems this world isn't so simple after all.
There are so many more stories.
[I see. Well then, I'd like to listen to the music... Let's begin.]
There has always been a top secret among the saintesses.
That is "God", not an immortal being.
Perhaps a hundred years, perhaps a thousand years...
The next sea god to appear may not be Lugia from last time.
Flura naturally realized that the Lugia before her was no longer the same as before.
If you perform well, you might still be able to survive!
At this time, Lugia is located in the center of Stonehenge.
The surrounding boulders were all carved from crystal.
As long as the tune played is generally correct.
The Great Crystal Stone will resonate, causing celestial and terrestrial changes, which will then summon Lugia.
only.
Lugia came uninvited this time, and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to satisfy her.
The girl's heart pounded like a drum, and her palms sweated.
Honestly, she loves music very much, so practicing those hit songs was all from the bottom of her heart.
You should know that the previous generation's holy maiden in the clan was already an 88-year-old woman...
They never imagined that Lugia would actually return to this island!
I really don't know if Fluura is just incredibly lucky or incredibly unlucky.
Decades of preparation have been for these few minutes of playing the divine melody.
There can be no mistakes...
Tender, green fingers pressed between the intricate holes of the conch shell.
Gradually, the prelude to the divine melody began to play.
The melodious and unique flute music began to cause the surrounding Stonehenge to emit a shimmering green light.
Then begin with the megalithic formations surrounding the shrine.
The green light began to spread, gradually blurring the vast sea before my eyes...
Lugia's originally serious expression softened and relaxed as the melodious conch shell whistle sang...
[That's right... you misheard, but I feel very comfortable...]
For over a century, Lugia has traveled through several planes.
The accumulated resentment, murderous intent, and grudges and affections on his body were all wiped away in this divine song.
It suddenly looked back and, in a moment of inspiration, transcended death.
To resonate with the spirit of Fluura.
Ye Kai frowned involuntarily.
There's a big problem with this piece of music.
What an incredible, outrageous method!
It can even automatically filter human hosts to see if they are suitable for a legendary calamity!
In other words, the original Lugia was doomed.
The so-called divine song.
It's just a "possession tune"!
But Ye Kai's Lugia is still very young; it can live for at least several thousand more years!
There's no need to make such a fuss.
The music gradually reached its climax.
Sometimes it takes the form of a storm that sweeps across the world.
At times, thunder roared from all directions, fully demonstrating the majesty of the gods.
[You made another mistake... but I forgive you... continue...]
Only Lugia and Flura could hear these thoughts.
She is a super-qualified person, one in ten million in this world!
A backup life form that was born to exist for Lugia.
Unfortunately, she was born in the wrong era...
The divine authority of Logia gradually permeated the seawater, causing several magnificent water bridges to be built on the sea surface.
The divine song is nearing its end.
[It's almost over, right? If you can't pull it off, don't make things up...]
Fluura, however, mustered her courage and responded to Lugia with a song.
The end of the song.
It is the endless anticipation, resentment, waiting, disappointment, and even curses that the saintesses of all ages have for Lugia!
The explosive tail strike sent a jolt through Lugia's body, even causing him to tremble slightly.
Humans may seem weak.
Hairless, scaleless, clawless, and toothless...
Yet, with the help of the spirits, they can become the most intelligent of all things.
As the song ended, the sky cleared and the earth became bright, and the sea and sky stretched out before us!
Although it is full of loopholes, it is quite interesting to make mistakes.
"God, are you... satisfied?"
When the music ended, Fluura was barely breathing and could only manage to stand up by sheer willpower.
The Divine Comedy must not make any mistakes.
It requires practice with special breathing techniques.
Otherwise, it's a path to death, extremely harmful to the body, and could even lead to suffocation!
This is because it's Lugia's breathing method, not a human's.
Lugia has unlimited lung capacity!
Her throat felt sweet, and she felt dizzy.
He vomited blood twice and then collapsed to the ground.
[Your wish, I will fulfill.]
"GGG guwuwuWW!!!!"
Lugia felt refreshed and invigorated after listening to the tune, and his fighting power increased significantly.
It finally figured out who had been calling it earlier.
It was the resentment of the previous wind god.
That Lugia was plotting to prolong its life.
However, it was captured by a powerful trainer who happened to be passing by and was eventually taken to the Golden Country.
As part of the barrier, it also died in the Golden Kingdom.
Now that Lugia can finally rest in peace.
[Have you found the location of the Three Divine Birds?]
[Found them. The three guys are on three small islands across the water.]
[Don't lie to me, why can't I sense it?]
Lugia took to the air and teleported to a height of a thousand meters.
[Of course you can't sense it. The three cowering birds transformed into fire orbs, ice orbs, and lightning orbs, thus evading your perception.]
After listening to the divine song, Lucia...
His mental development progressed rapidly, and he became like a human being, able to converse fluently with Ye Kai.
Now that we know where the three birds are.
That leaves only one thing: capture!
Fluura's wish is to resolve the crisis in the Orange Islands forever!
The crisis itself consists of four natural disasters.
It's the three birds, plus Lugia himself.
Now that Ye Kai has left with the four elves, won't the problem be solved forever?
……
Fire Island at this time.
On the altar of an ancient temple.
A raging fire burns at the center of the transparent jewel being offered.
Ye Kai held it in his palm.
Then, one's thoughts invade it.
Soon, the firebird could not withstand Ye Kai's pressure of level 199 and revealed its true form!
"Boom! B ...
Lugia was already prepared.
It clenched its wings into fists, unleashing a final strike.
The powerful punch sent Moltres reeling and crashing into the sea...
It was sold instantly, nothing more to say.
Then it's just a matter of doing the same thing...
Zapdos and Articuno both fell in the same way, ending up in Ye Kai's hands.
These three are no ordinary birds.
These three birds possess divine authority!
They all reached level 110.
The average level 105 is the maximum for those three birds.
Level 105 is the limit of the intensity of a sub-catastrophic event.
Ye Yao asked Ye Kai for the three divine birds.
He flatly refused.
Ordinary Pokémon are fine, but natural disasters are out of the question!
[What are your plans for dealing with Fluura?]
[I've already memorized the entire new version of the song, so I don't need it anymore.]
He was impressed by Lugia's magnanimity.
If it were me, I would definitely take her away.
joke.
This is a spare body!!
Who would refuse a chance to stay alive?!
Although I haven't explored every detail of the Orange Islands, I've already covered most of them.
It's time to leave.
For some reason, he thought of Meloetta again.
That was a calamity caused by the divine authority over melody.
To put it simply, he's the god of music!!
Perhaps that little guy's potential is far greater than Ye Kai imagined!
Unfortunately.
Meroeta was once taken from the hands of the Three Saints Mushrooms and fell into Ye Lei's hands.
After two major battles with Giratina, he disappeared without a trace.
If I have the chance, I must try to catch it again.
Music, an inconspicuous element, is a very important "key" in the Pokémon world.
Even something as simple as being able to wake up Snorlax.
It summons legendary Scourges such as Lugia and Celebi.
Even Arceus can be summoned by the Celestial Flute!
This demonstrates its importance.
He believed he wanted to play the flute of heaven.
Without sufficient talent and wisdom, that's simply unthinkable!
Let's not think about these things for now.
Where to go next?
To the north of the Orange Islands lies a mysterious island called New Island.
If you go further north from the Shinjima waters, you'll find the famous Shichinoshima (Seven Islands).
Continuing north from Nanatsushima, you reach the Kanto region...
Then... let's go to the new island and see if we can run into Mewtwo.
The red circle marks New Island, nestled between the Orange Islands and the West Coast.
