Chapter 927: Death Essence
Upon witnessing Mewtwo successfully complete its Mega Evolution, Zekrom and Reshiram immediately halted their battle with Yveltal—not because they wanted to, but because they felt an immense, overwhelming pressure emanating from Mewtwo.
Perhaps because it was its first time undergoing Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo X was not yet accustomed to its world-ending power, causing its energy to involuntarily leak out.
As a result, the space around them began to shatter like glass, and within a few seconds, the cracks spread hundreds of miles in every direction.
Mega Mewtwo X observed the crumbling space around it, clearly sensing that with just a single thought, this entire area could be instantly annihilated.
Everything within would be reduced to nothingness—although the twin dragons and Yveltal would survive, they would be severely injured.
"Return," Julian said, taking out two Poké Balls to recall Zekrom and Reshiram.
The outcome was already decided. With its world-ending strength, Mega Mewtwo X was something Yveltal could never hope to withstand.
But looking at the shattered space around them, Julian frowned and asked, "Still unable to control your powers?"
If this space was to collapse, the first to die would be Julian himself.
As soon as Julian spoke, the leaking energy from Mega Mewtwo X gradually subsided, and the shattered space slowly began to mend.
Yveltal instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Mega Mewtwo X turned its gaze toward it, Yveltal’s heart tightened. An overwhelming pressure, like the sky crashing down, bore down on it.
Breathing became impossible—at this moment, it felt as if even its consciousness was fading.
The difference between a Forbidden-Class Pokémon and a First-class Legendary was not just a gap; it was an insurmountable chasm.
By the time Yveltal regained its senses, Mega Mewtwo X was already standing right before it. Its pupils contracted sharply, and without hesitation, it unleashed a Dark Pulse.
Yet this Dark Pulse, powerful enough to obliterate a country, was effortlessly blocked by Mega Mewtwo X with a single hand—using nothing but its raw physical strength, without employing any moves.
'Impossible!'
Refusing to believe it, Yveltal attacked relentlessly: its wings glowed silver with Steel Wing and its tail swung with Iron Tail—striking at Mega Mewtwo X like a torrential downpour.
Each impact caused the air to erupt with deafening booms.
'Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!'
No matter how fiercely it attacked or how fast it moved, Yveltal realized that every single strike was effortlessly dodged by Mega Mewtwo X.
In the eyes of Mega Mewtwo X, Yveltal’s movements were as slow as a Slowpoke’s.
"Mewtwo, finish it quickly—I can't hold on much longer!"
Mega Mewtwo X was immersed in its newfound power when Julian's exhausted voice echoed in its mind.
Mega Evolution consumed both the trainer's physical stamina and mental energy. And this time, Julian's target for Mega Evolution was none other than Mewtwo. If not for his Mega Pallet Town Physique for stamina and his Master level Psychic abilities for mental energy, he would never have been able to trigger Mewtwo's Mega Evolution. Even if he had forced it, he would have instantly become brain-dead from mental energy depletion.
Julian estimated that his stamina and mental energy could sustain Mega Mewtwo X for about two to three minutes.
Who would have thought that one day he'd become a "three-minute man" too?
Now that Julian had spoken, Mega Mewtwo X naturally stopped playing around.
With just a glance from Mega Mewtwo X, Yveltal found itself immobilized once again.
It was Psychic again—but this time it was countless times more powerful than before.
A crushing pressure bore down on it from all sides, its bones creaking and cracking under the strain. Excruciating pain caused its death energy to surge wildly, but the psychic force suppressed it completely.
"Mewtwo—Mega Punch!" Julian commanded.
Now that Mega Evolution was active, he had to take the chance to give orders. Who knew when he'd get another opportunity to command Mega Mewtwo X?
The Mega Punches rained down like meteors. Held in place by Psychic, Yveltal was now nothing more than a sandbag, completely unable to dodge.
Punch after punch after punch.
Each blow carried enough force to easily sink a nation like Babath.
Babath: 'Don't use me as a benchmark!'
The overwhelming blows ravaged Yveltal's internal organs. At the same time, the death energy permeating its body began to disperse with each Mega Punch, forcibly expelled from Yveltal by the onslaught.
Mega Mewtwo X was literally punching Yveltal’s death energy out of its body.
At this moment, the world was filled only with the explosive impacts of Mega Mewtwo X’s punches, Yveltal’s agonized screams, and the dissipating death energy.
After more than a dozen punches, not a single part of Yveltal's body remained intact.
Against a Forbidden-Class opponent like Mega Mewtwo X, there was simply no room for resistance.
"You can't kill me. As long as death exists, I cannot die."
As the embodiment of death itself, Yveltal naturally feared no end—nor could it truly perish.
Death might be the final destination for all living beings, but not for it.
"Psystrike," Julian commanded calmly.
Seeing Yveltal still stubbornly defiant despite its condition, Julian's lips curled into a cold smile.
He indeed couldn't kill it, but he could still beat it into the state of Cocoon of Destruction, forcing it into a slumber that would last for thousands of years.
Psychic energy solidified into a tangible blade. With a piercing shhh!, it stabbed straight into Yveltal's heart. Instantly, even more death energy surged from its body.
"Aaaaaah—!!"
Perhaps because the strike pierced its heart, Yveltal's pain seemed amplified, its agonized scream growing even louder.
'Hmm? That clump of Death Energy... why hasn't it dissipated? Its color seems much darker too.'
Julian’s gaze fell on a fist-sized mass of death energy near Yveltal's heart.
The previous death energy had been a pale black, but this mass was an inky, impenetrable darkness—like concentrated ink—so dense it seemed to absorb even sunlight.
---
[Death Essence: A fragment of Yveltal's origin Death Essence, forcibly expelled from its body by immense power. If absorbed by a suitable Pokémon, it may grant partial control over Death Energy.]
---
Seeing the information fed back by Probing Eyes, Julian instantly became excited.
Without needing further instruction from Julian, Metagross attempted to pull the Death Essence toward them using Psychic. However, it found it impossible to move. Instead, it watched as the Death Essence slowly drifted back toward Yveltal's heart, seemingly trying to return to its body.
"Don’t you dare!"
Yveltal was both furious and alarmed.
Death Essence was the very foundation of its existence. Although it was itself formed from Death Essence, and losing this small fragment wouldn't kill it.
The loss of even this tiny piece of Death Essence would plunge it into prolonged slumber, requiring endless ages to slowly recover.
Moreover, if another Pokémon absorbed this fragment of Death Essence—and was fortunate enough not to die—it might very well gain partial authority over the power of death.
In other words, its "divine role" would no longer be unique. And once that divinity was no longer exclusive, it could potentially be replaced by another.
That would mean its true death.
