Chapter 1197: Leading Version and Revenge

“Ori… Origin?!”

The pirate outside Ghost Island rubbed his eyes, finding it hard to believe what he saw.

He hadn’t heard anything about Origin at either the Hidden Port or the waterfall; the place where Origin appeared wasn’t even the sky, it just emerged amidst a ripple.

Before he could recover from his shock, Yamato directly jumped off the deck.

“What are you daydreaming for? Open the dock doors, right, Father isn’t here, is he?”

“Yes, Ghost Princess… I’ll open them right away. As for Governor Kaidou, he went out not long ago, he probably hasn’t returned yet.”

Originally, he wanted to be certain, but the manner of Origin’s appearance interrupted his thoughts, the times in Ghost Island were advancing fast; even though he had stayed stationed here, he felt like he couldn’t keep up with the times.

Arceus always managed to create things beyond the times, each new product refreshing existing perceptions.

For example, the main source of electricity in Wano Kuni now – Electivire.

The locals in Wano Kuni were okay, they hadn’t seen electric power before, viewing thunder gods as wielders of divine power, so Arceus’s bio-creations controlling electricity seemed reasonable to them.

But people from modern or Future Island were different, especially those who had studied electricity. They racked their brains in vain trying to understand why an organism only eating three meals a day could power an entire island.

This wasn’t scientific, even contradicting their known principle of energy conservation.

Logically, Kaidou definitely shouldn’t be on Ghost Island now, but ever since he began fighting Rayquaza, Wano Kuni gained a special weather condition named “Kaidou.”

Unpredictable, at unknown times, Kaidou might descend from the sky, but don’t worry, as Lord Ming would control his landing spot, only resulting in a fright without causing harm.

Apart from Queen and Yamato, this weather was completely harmless, so he was unsure whether the already departed Kaidou might suddenly pop out from a corner.

“As long as he’s not here now, it’s fine, seeing this would just create new trouble for him.”

Whether Kaidou would drop out of nowhere or not, as long as he hadn’t seen Origin’s appearance, it was good news for Yamato. Although the matter couldn’t be hidden from Kaidou, the later he found out, the better it was for Yamato.

If Kaidou knew about Arceus’s conditions, he would certainly wreck houses deliberately, forcing Yamato to fight him in a house-protecting battle to pull Yamato into the Reversed World.

Fighting Kaidou now wasn’t hard for her, but trying to protect a dead object from Kaidou was a daunting task.

“Godfather, there’s nothing much, so I’m leaving now. Robin just got back yesterday; we arranged to go out today.”

“Go ahead, I’ll contact you when you’re needed.”

As Yamato left, Shaina came along shortly after; she kept many spies in Wano Kuni, regardless of where Arceus returned, Shaina would quickly receive word.

“Lord Sacred Beast, you’re back. I feel my vacation could be over, staying idle any longer might drive me insane.”

“It’s just about adjusting your state, once adjusted, do as you please.”

“Alright, then I’ll get to work first. Oh, Mandfeish also returned a few days ago, he seems intent on giving all his merits to his daughter. Plus, people from the Kozuki Family from 20 years ago also appeared recently, Melo helped a bit too.”

“Melo? That half-mermaid, right? Mandfeish is completely tied down by family indeed. Have him bring his daughter tomorrow, there’s other matters to tend to today.”

“As you command.”

…

Though it was a vacation, Shaina wasn’t completely in the dark about external matters during this period; she hadn’t directly meddled much, but recently there was not much significant, her substitute Emmalyn sufficing to handle these trivial issues.

Shortly after Shaina left, Zeraora from Kuri and Shaymin from Ringo sensed Arceus’s summoning, coming to Ghost Island one after another.

“Lord Arceus, you called for me?”

“Master, did you have something for Mi?”

Flying through the window seemed to have become some tradition, Shaymin in its sky form followed Zeraora through the window, compelling a thought to adjust the house’s structure accordingly.

“Nothing major, just giving you two a ‘key’.”

A subtle radiance flashed briefly away, and both Zeraora and Shaymin seemed to have something more in their minds.

The so-called key was invisible, not a physical entity. The mythical beasts inherently shared a common energy, Arceus only needed to give Shaymin and Zeraora a beacon.

With the beacon, Shaymin and Zeraora naturally knew what to do.

Even without it, if they were powerful enough and in the right location, they could forcefully open the access point, but doing it that way was quite difficult.

“Lord Arceus, do you have any further ideas?”

“No, just informing you first, the Reversed World isn’t fully refined yet, for now, channels can only be opened in Ghost Island and the original Rainbow Mist location, keep that in mind.”

Arceus gave a few reminders to both of them; as for Genesect, Darkrai, and Manaphy, doing the same upon their return would still be in time.

The dormant Regice isn’t going to use this thing for a while. Without special instructions, Regice has no intention of waking up in the short term.

Zeraora is more composed. Even with this “key,” there was no particular reaction, just flying back to Kuri in a normal manner.

But Shaymin is different. Her disposition is younger, and after learning about this, she couldn’t wait to open the entrance to the Reversed World and explore that inverted world.

When Shaymin reappeared, she was no longer on Ghost Island but in Queen’s laboratory.

Due to various indescribable reasons, Queen was somewhat stressed at this time, extremely sensitive to creatures suddenly appearing by his side, especially when the doors were tightly closed, Shaymin’s sudden appearance made him think an assassin had arrived.

One moment he was conducting experiments, and the next, Queen disappeared invisibly right in front of Shaymin.

Stealth Fighter Black, the ability of Invisible Black in Jemal Technology, invisibility can’t solve everything, but it can make the enemy’s eyes lose the ability to directly capture the target, which is quite useful in dealing with sudden situations.

“What are you doing, fool? Shaymin already smelled you!”

Queen’s invisibility only hides his figure, but his scent doesn’t disappear. Even if she can’t see him, Shaymin knows Queen is right in front of her.

“It’s you, you scared me! Where did you come from?”

After confirming it was Shaymin, Queen instantly removed his state of invisibility and put away his weapons.

“The Reversed World created by Lord Arceus. Only a few have the key to enter there; others can’t go in. With this key, Shaymin can open doors in many places on Ghost Island. Isn’t it great?”

“Great? No, it’s simply… amazing! Mwahahaha, there’s nothing more great than this! Quickly take me in and let me see. If the environment is suitable, I’ll move in right away.”

A world created by Arceus, only those with a key can open the passage to there. After analyzing these sentences, Queen came up with only one word – safety.

In his view, no matter how skilled the enemy is, they can’t intrude into a world created by Arceus. Settling there means you don’t have to worry about anything.

“Stay away from Shaymin. You look like a pervert with that expression!”

Dense Seed Machine Gun repelled the approaching Queen, then Shaymin continued: “I can take you in, but it’s empty and dull inside. You have to plant a sea of flowers for me.”

“Deal! Just flowers? You want anything, I’ll plant it for you, but you must first take me in to have a look.”

The deal was made. In front of Queen, Shaymin opened the passage to the Reversed World, adding another visitor to this empty world.

While Yamato was still planning how to seek refuge, Queen already took action. Although there was no sun, and the sky and ground looked strange, Queen felt it was excellent here.

“Shaymin reminds you, this is a world transformed and created by Lord Arceus. Shaymin just brought you in for a look.”

“I know, you don’t have to worry about that. I’ll report back to Lord Arceus.”

The barren Reversed World showed Queen infinite possibilities. There was nothing here now, and he even felt he could first claim some land and find a safer area in an almost absolutely safe environment.

….

While Queen was planning his new home, some people were forced to start laboring in their new home.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

In Udon Mine, the constant dull sounds rang out, stones shattered under the hammer’s blows and were then delivered to the smelting factory by prisoners.

Among the crowd, a small figure was very distinct.

Kozuki Momonosuke’s leisurely days lasted very short, just one day apart, he began laboring.

There were some people loyal to Momonosuke in the mining camp, but no one dared to help him or give him food. If anyone acted similarly, the consequence was a heavier punishment.

“Lord Momonosuke, hold on a bit more, today’s quota will be completed soon.”

A voice of encouragement reached Momonosuke’s ears, Denjiro was watching Momonosuke carrying heavy stones from the side.

This was Kozuki Hiyori’s final decision. She didn’t turn Denjiro into a prisoner, but merely altered his position to Momonosuke’s exclusive supervisor.

If Momonosuke couldn’t complete the work quota under Denjiro’s supervision, he would be handed over to other pirates the next day to undertake more laborious work according to adult standards.

Moreover, those supervisors wouldn’t be as polite as he was; they would use force.

To prevent Momonosuke from suffering more, Denjiro had to be harsh in getting Momonosuke to complete this work within body acceptance range.

“This woman is really ruthless, torturing two people at once.”

On a huge rock, Babanuki was staring at Momonosuke and Denjiro. Neither Kaido nor Arceus cared about Momonosuke, so how to handle him was Kozuki Hiyori’s business. Even if Kozuki Hiyori wanted to release him, Hundred Beasts wouldn’t stop her.

But at this moment, Kozuki Hiyori had no such thoughts. Instead, she was using this method to retaliate against Denjiro’s stance.

She even told Babanuki that if things went wrong, he could choose to kill them, which led to Babanuki’s sigh.

“Lord Babanuki, Kuri is almost completed, according to our ‘General’s’ wishes, she wants the people there to meet this main culprit.”
