Sure enough, not long after, the generator ran at its peak, then automatically slowed down, and finally stopped.
"Qingwu, how did you guess that? Du is truly a god."
"This generator, when it was first built, was set with the highest authority, which is complete protection authority. Once the generator exceeds the set limit, it will automatically stop running."
"This was the highest authority set by the safety engineer at the time, and it cannot be changed even by the generator's manipulators," Qingwu said confidently.
"(\⊙o⊙)... How did you know such confidential information?" Du was a little confused.
"When I came over, I first went to the data room. I scanned all the data in the secret data room."
Qingwu actually scanned all the data in the data room with the system, and only then, from some subtle descriptions, did he learn about this authority.
"Let's go, let's go back to the control room," Qingwu said to Du.
"Control room? The generator has stopped running, what are we going to the control room for?" Du asked, confused.
"There's a special spirit in the control room. If I'm not mistaken, if it's not taken away, it will restart the generator."
Qingwu pushed open the door to the control room, and saw a stunned spirit flying in the air. The spirit kept trying to modify the "Four-Two-Zero" program, but ultimately couldn't restart the generator.
"Rotom, it's really you," Qingwu said, looking at the orange figure.
Rotom's body is composed of plasma.
Its orange body is Rotom's core, surrounded by blue translucent plasma, which can materialize to form Rotom's hands.
"When I first entered the control room, I was surprised why the control room was filled with microwave ovens, washing machines, refrigerators, electric fans, and weed whackers."
"Microwave ovens and refrigerators are understandable, after all, it's common for employees in the control room and power plant to heat up meals and store food. But washing machines, electric fans, and weed whackers, that's just too much, isn't it?"
When Qingwu was writing the program, he felt a surge of artificial intelligence trying to modify its own instructions. Connecting this to the devices placed in the control room, Qingwu knew that the mastermind behind this control room was Rotom.
"Lycanroc, use Dark Pulse to destroy these household appliances!" Lycanroc opened its mouth wide and directly spewed out a dark, ink-like light beam, destroying these household appliances.
"Even if it's you, Rotom, as long as these household appliances are destroyed, you're no longer our opponent. Lycanroc, use 'Crunch' on Rotom," Qingwu commanded.
Rotom smiled and vanished into the air, disappearing without a trace. Lycanroc's Crunch directly struck the air.
"Ghost, where did Rotom run off to?" Qingwu asked softly. He only saw Lycanroc's frustrated expression.
"Not good, let's quickly stop Rotom! Once Rotom fuses with the generator, it will be an undisputed boss-level Electric-type Pokémon!"
Qingwu had no evidence to prove that Rotom could fuse with a generator, as there was no precedent.
But what if Rotom was very special? Once Rotom fused with the generator, Rotom's strength might rival that of a Celestial King, or even higher.
This Rotom was the Mauville Group's trump card.
"Dragonite, use 'Dark Pulse' on the generator."
"Charizard, use 'Dragon Pulse' on the generator."
Du immediately gave the order. Dragonite took a deep breath, and a dark spherical orb condensed in its hand. The orb suddenly shattered, and black waves shot towards the generator.
Charizard, meanwhile, arrogantly spread its wings, spewing a golden wave from its mouth. The wave elementalized in the sky and formed a giant dragon that swallowed the generator in one gulp.
Rotom was affected by Charizard's and Dragonite's attacks, showing a panicked expression.
Due to the two quasi-Celestial King level Pokémon, and its attached items having been destroyed by Lycanroc.
Rotom stared fiercely at Charizard and Dragonite, then its entire body directly pierced through the wall, looking as if it was going to find a strong helper.
"Ditto, transform into a large bat."
Qingwu directly released Ditto. Ditto's body shifted and transformed into a large bat.
"Ditto, scan the entire underground for any hollow places." The entire generator was a hundred meters long, and this underground chamber was beneath the generator.
Qingwu didn't know exactly where the underground chamber was, so he had Ditto transform into a large bat and use "Supersonic" to probe.
It would be best to let the large bat come out and probe, after all, it was familiar with this task.
It took Ditto a full five minutes to detect the entrance of the underground chamber. Ditto pointed to one side of the generator, indicating the way.
Qingwu himself explored the side of the generator for a while and found a hidden door on the side of the generator. After Dragonite used Fire Punch to break it open, a downward staircase appeared.
Qingwu felt airflow from the hidden opening, which meant the underground chamber had ventilation equipment.
Qingwu and Du followed the stairs down, arriving at a relatively spacious passage in less than five minutes.
"Damn it, I need to scan fingerprints and iris here." Qingwu patted his forehead. This main door required a total of three authentication methods.
Fingerprints, iris, and keys.
Keys were very simple for Ditto, but for fingerprints and iris, Ditto needed actual images to truly simulate them.
Qingwu explained his difficulty, but Du felt that this was not a big deal.
"Our alliance's database has collected fingerprint and iris data from every citizen in the alliance. I can directly retrieve Big Sister Dazijin Tiantian's iris and fingerprint data from the database."
Du retrieved Dazijin Tiantian's iris and fingerprint data from the communicator. Qingwu's Ditto glanced at it, then immediately nodded and proceeded to verify them one by one.
When Ditto, transformed into a key, opened the underground chamber door, the door opened. Qingwu and Du both swallowed.
The two looked at each other, then pushed open the large door of the underground chamber.
Qingwu and Du saw a black, shadow-like spirit at first glance.
Its white hair-like mass constantly churned, covering most of its face, revealing only two piercing blue eyes.
Its neck was encircled by a red collar-like object.
On its two shoulders hung long, black, tattered cloth-like objects.
Indeed, it was Darkrai, the king of nightmares.
At this moment, Darkrai was restrained in a container, its Nightmare power being extracted and continuously injected into a chess stone in another container.
Countless wires were connected above Darkrai. If Darkrai cooperated even slightly, it would be punished by millions of volts of electricity. With the unmanned generator stopping, it became even weaker.
Qingwu also saw endless resentful souls swirling into the chess stone.
Qingwu suddenly understood. It turned out that the spirit the Mauville Group wanted to control was not Darkrai, but Golisopod.
Golisopod was a spirit formed by the gathering of 108 human souls.
The Mauville Group's ultimate goal was to create a human-made mythical beast, based on Darkrai's Nightmare power, combined with the power of endless resentful souls.
Golisopod's light was formed by 108 human souls, which could transform into evil spirits with many extreme, top-tier combat powers, directly suppressing Darkrai.
What would happen if it gathered 999 human souls?
Qingwu shivered. Those who could use Golisopod were a group of ruthless people.
Golisopod was a spirit with innate anti-bones. As long as you suppressed Golisopod even slightly, Golisopod would devour your soul.
Golisopod's usual appearance was a chess stone. On top of it was a mysterious gaseous substance, and within the substance were parts resembling a mouth and eyes.
Just then, Darkrai sensed someone entering. It opened its eyes and let out a mournful cry.
"Take me away, take me away." Darkrai's voice was unpleasant, like fingers scraping against frosted glass.
Looking at this famous mythical beast, it had endured so much torment, its body emaciated, as if a breath of wind could scatter it.
"As long as I am put into a Pokémon Ball, I can escape this cage," Darkrai pleaded.
For a full half a year, Darkrai had endured countless torments of electric currents. If it was even slightly disobedient, it would be punished by millions of volts.
Darkrai was forced to hand over its Nightmare power out of helplessness.
"We don't have a Pokémon Ball that can subdue you," Du replied honestly.
To subdue a mythical beast, one must use a Master Ball. This is a special Pokémon Ball that can completely contain a mythical beast's body.
"I have one!" Qingwu remembered the Master Ball he had snatched from his uncle.
"Go!" Qingwu threw the Master Ball at Darkrai. The Master Ball directly absorbed the weakened Darkrai. Then, the Master Ball displayed that it had successfully subdued Darkrai.
"He subdued a Darkrai just like that?" Qingwu stared blankly, he still had a chance to subdue Rotom.
"Human, I will leave once my injuries heal. If you have me by your side, I will bring you misfortune," Darkrai said through gr gritted teeth.
As a mythical beast, it could perform telepathic communication.
"Now, release me first. I want to retrieve my Nightmare power," Darkrai said through gritted teeth.
"Come out, Darkrai," Qingwu released the formless Darkrai.
Darkrai floated above the chess stone and fiercely sucked in a stream of dark energy from the chess stone. Darkrai then condensed into a ball.
The chess stone emitted a gasping sound. Golisopod was indeed made into a mythical beast, but the Nightmare power originally belonged to Darkrai.
Darkrai easily retrieved its Nightmare power.
Because there were not enough 999 resentful souls, Golisopod could not fully form. Nightmare power was also retrieved by Darkrai, and Golisopod fell into a death cycle. If Golisopod wanted to continue existing, it would inevitably have to use the resentful souls within its body.
Golisopod, having lost its Nightmare power, would find it very difficult to advance to a mythical beast.
