Chapter 750 Is he always this brave?
"Xiao Zhi, are you alright?"
Serena asked with concern, while glancing warily at the sky.
"I'm fine! What happened?"
Ash jumped off the stage with the trophy in his arms and reunited with his friends.
"I don't know, but it's definitely related to that giant snake in the sky."
Clifton looked up at the sky: "That thing looks like some kind of modified Pokémon, or a variant of a legendary Pokémon?"
"Legendary Pokémon? What legendary Pokémon is a winged snake?"
Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
Yulijia, who was next to her, instinctively clutched her pockets tightly.
She remembered that her little soft creature seemed to be a snake-shaped Pokémon.
"Whatever it is, let's hide first!" Serena grabbed Ash and started running towards the safety passage.
But just then, the God of Destruction in the sky seemed to notice the awards podium.
The attack just now was blocked here.
The red light in its eyes surged again, and this time, more than ten beams of light, like a woven net of death, covered the podium area!
"Watch out! Another attack is coming!"
Without a second thought, Ash pulled Serena tightly into his arms.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a blue flame shot up and blocked the beam of light! It looked just like a fire fist coming to the rescue!
Immediately afterwards, a calm voice drowned out the panicked screams from the crowd.
"Charizard! Dragon God Dive!!!"
Everyone looked up and saw a black fire-breathing dragon rise from the edge of the venue, its body enveloped in violent dragon energy, and swooped down, crashing straight into the destructive monster that was charging up in the air!
Boom! ...
Black, red, and blue light exploded in a mixed burst. The monster's seemingly unshakeable body was violently shaken by the impact, and the gray-white light condensed in its mouth instantly dissipated by half, its light flickering uncertainly!
Who is that?
"It seems to be Ai Lan from the semifinals?"
"He just rushed up like that?"
"That's really amazing..."
"Is he always this brave?"
The people of Carlos, though still fleeing for their lives, couldn't help but marvel at the sight.
Alain gripped the keystone on his wrist, staring intently at the monster, and shouted to the Charizard:
"It's not over yet! We can't give it a chance to breathe! Charizard, use Flamethrower! Aim for its eyes!"
"Awooo—!!!"
Having just completed the impact and adjusting its posture as it fell, the Charizard forcibly twisted its body and spewed out a torrent of azure flames!
The azure flames, powerful enough to scorch steel, were about to strike.
"Fire Lion! Flame Leap!"
But at that moment, another crimson pillar of fire, no less powerful and even more violent, crashed in from the side, precisely intercepting the dragon's blue flames!
Boom! Boom!
The two flames collided, exploding into a sky full of sparks!
Ai Lan's pupils contracted sharply, and he turned his head abruptly to look in the direction from which the flames were coming.
A tall, imposing man, resembling a lion, slowly emerged from the shadows at the edge of the venue.
Beside him followed a magnificent and imposing fire lion with a mane as red as fire.
The flame that just blocked our path came from its mouth.
"President! How could it be you!"
When Ai Lan saw who it was, disbelief flashed in her eyes.
Vladali gently patted the fiery lion beside him, whose mane was as fiery as his own.
Then he raised his head, his gaze piercing through the billowing smoke and firelight, meeting Ai Lan's eyes across the distance, his expression complex:
"Ailan, I never expected that you would be the first to stand up and try to stop me from stepping into the new world."
Vladali stood on the high platform, his orange and black suit fluttering in the wind.
Even amidst this chaotic scene, he maintained the elegant demeanor of a successful entrepreneur.
Ai Lan's voice was dry:
"President, what are you doing? Why are you attacking Miare City? What is that thing in the sky?"
He pointed around to the ruins of buildings that had turned into gray stone statues, the faint cries coming from afar, and the panicked sounds rising from the direction of the main venue.
All of this contradicted the image of the wise, powerful, and visionary leader he remembered.
“That’s nothing, Ai Lan.”
"Vladali corrected me," he said, his tone almost piously fanatical, as he slightly opened his arms as if to embrace the whole chaotic world.
"That is a god. It is the greatest masterpiece created by our Team Flare with all our heart and soul! It is a perfect creation that surpasses legend and transcends existing life forms!"
Vladali became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice growing louder and louder, and spittle was practically flying out of his mouth:
"God will purify this world, cleanse it of all decay and filth, and create a new world without strife, greed, or pollution!"
"Aren't you looking forward to it, Ai Lan?"
Ai Lan felt a chill run down her spine.
Purification? Reboot? A new world? Is this the same director of the Fradali consortium he knows?
Isn't this just a typical pyramid scheme leader? Is he going to start selling courses next?
Welcome to Team Flare! Become a god in the new world for only 998!
"President, don't you think what you're saying is a bit too far-fetched? This isn't realistic!"
Ai Lan decided to make one last effort, trying to persuade the other party with normal logic. After all, he was someone she once admired, and she should try to save him if she could.
“Look around you. These are living, breathing people, this is a city. You want to turn them all into stone? What does that have to do with the New World!”
Confused again?
Sensing Alan's distance, Vladari chuckled, "When a senior is explaining things to you, he's giving you a lesson. Can you please not interrupt?"
For some reason, upon hearing this, Ai Lan instinctively straightened up, like a student waiting for a teacher's reprimand.
My thoughts drifted back to the past.
Looking back, if it weren't for the president giving him the Mega Stone, he would still be just an ordinary trainer wandering alone.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with going it alone, but with evolution stones, you can have even more freedom and possibilities.
"Please speak."
Vladali nodded in satisfaction:
“Alan, in principle, a trainer of your level has no right to ask me directly. But to satisfy your curiosity, I can tell you.”
He turned his back, gazing at the distant energy explosion, and slowly said:
"Previously, the alliance's institutional reforms were a massive undertaking, and everyone was caught in the torrent."
"During this period, many people, through their own efforts or perhaps luck, have risen to the forefront. This forefront offers boundless glory, temptations, and risks. It all depends on how you seize the opportunity."
Ai Lan nodded subconsciously, deeply agreeing.
Ah, no wonder he's the old president; every casual remark he makes is a gem.
"Have you never felt suffocated, Ai Lan, by this seemingly prosperous but actually bloated and distorted world?"
Huh? Feeling suffocated?
Ai Lan's mind went blank for a moment, and she subconsciously thought of Manon's innocent smile, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
No, I think the world is pretty good.
Vladali was oblivious to Alain's unusual behavior; he was completely absorbed in his own world, his tone growing increasingly impassioned:
"This decaying world needs purification, a restart, and a fresh start. Just like an old house that needs to be demolished and rebuilt."
"To achieve this ideal, I have faced countless hardships! I have led Team Flare from the bottom to where we are today, and not only that, I will lead Team Flare to the top!!"
He paused, looked at Ai Lan, and his eyes suddenly became "kind," as if he were looking at a lost lamb:
"Alan, come back to the organization. You have potential and strength. Let's create a new world together."
"We can become the gods of the new world and create a new order. Isn't that far more meaningful than what you're doing now, challenging the strong everywhere you go?"
Ai Lan's lips twitched uncontrollably.
He's gone mad! The president has completely lost his mind!
One minute he's a philosopher, talking to you about existence. The next he's a motivational speaker, spouting platitudes and giving you pep talks.
With this speed of personality switching, are you really not going to develop a split personality, boss?
Furthermore, returning to the organization at this point would be suicidal, wouldn't it? Are you just waiting to be wanted globally by the Alliance, with your photos plastered on toilet doors in every city?
Ai Lan imagined that scene.
His own face was printed on the wanted poster, below which was written "dangerous element," and Manon pointed to the poster and asked:
"Brother, this person looks just like you!"
Damn it! No way!
The scene is so beautiful, I almost dare not look.
Ai Lan sighed and decided to give up treatment:
"President, please stop."
He silently added in his mind: There are Officer Jenny outside. Once the Alliance reinforcements arrive, you won't be able to escape. Don't blame me for not warning you then.
Vladali fell silent.
three seconds.
Then he smiled.
First came a soft chuckle, then a loud laugh, and finally, the Uchiha's maniacal laughter:
"Hahahaha! Ai Lan, it seems the gap between our ideologies is deeper than I imagined."
"Alright, I never force people to do things against their will. Since you've declined the offer, I'm sorry..."
His smile vanished instantly, his eyes turning icy cold.
"Then let us become the cornerstone of the new world."
"Roar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Fire Lion, which had been poised to pounce, charged out like a ferocious beast unleashed!
Its mouth instantly became scorching with flames, transforming into two flaming blades that lunged straight at the fire-breathing dragon!
Flame Fang!
"Charizard! Dragon Claw!" Alain knew that Fladali's strength was unfathomable, and he had to fight with all his might.
"Awooo!!!"
Charizard roared and raised its right claw, its dragon-type energy condensing into a ferocious blue giant claw, aimed straight at Flame Lion!
Boom!
Flames clashed violently with the dragon's claws! The shockwave from the explosion sent rubble flying again!
The fire-breathing dragon was jolted backward, sparks flying everywhere.
"Lightning Fist!" Ai Lan immediately changed his move.
Charizard instantly crackled with violent electricity in its right fist and swooped down again!
"Hold on," Vladali said calmly.
A green barrier appeared in front of the Flame Lion, easily blocking the lightning punch.
"Dragon Pulse!" Alain continued his attack.
"Ow!"
Charizard opened its mouth, and a torrent of purple dragon-type energy surged forth!
"Big words burst into flames." Vladali remained calm.
The Flame Lion opened its mouth and spewed out a large burst of flames, which collided with the Dragon Pulse and exploded again.
After several rounds, Ai Lan's face turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He found himself completely suppressed.
His former boss was not only a formidable commander, but his Flame Lion was also stronger than his Charizard.
Vladali said calmly, "Alan, you've made great progress. But it's still far from enough."
