Since its birth, Yveltal had never been so severely injured; even its arch-nesis Xerneas had never inflicted such massive damage on it.
The Giga Impacts from the twin dragons lasted a full thirty seconds. Centered around Yveltal, the clash of their attacks shattered the surrounding space into fragnts.
Under the imnse pressure, the sea within a radius of dozens of kiloters sank, revealing the seabed below. The displaced seawater naturally ford a colossal wave.
It surged directly toward Babath.
Originally, all four First-class Legendaries had already moved their battle away from Babath's mainland. However, the colossal wave ford by the aftermath of their fight was enough to subrge the entire nation.
Babath: 'Just destroy already. I'm tired.'
As the Giga Impacts ca to an end, Yveltal, with its bones completely shattered, collapsed to the seabed. The power of death within it erged once again, beginning to heal its injuries.
But this ti its injuries were too severe. Even if the death energy could heal it, it would still take ti.
Most importantly, it depended on whether Julian would give it that ti.
"wtwo, Psystrike!"
The twin dragons were sowhat exhausted after using Giga Impact at full strength, and their condition had already been less than ideal. So, Julian chose not to let them continue attacking.
"You two, block that colossal wave," Julian said.
Under such a wave, the people of Babath would likely all perish. And if they died, the resulting death energy, if absorbed by Yveltal, would be enough to restore it to its peak.
So these people could not die. Moreover, apart from the majority being Babath citizens, there were also people from other countries in Babath, and surely many from Drakoria as well.
Swish!
Psystrike once again transford into an incredibly sharp wave, its substantial psychic energy causing space itself to tremble.
The wave aid directly at Yveltal's neck, as if intending to sever it in one strike.
Faced with a life-threatening attack, Yveltal stopped channeling the death energy into healing and instead gathered every bit of power it had, forming a pitch-black protective barrier.
BOOOM!!!!
Psystrike struck the barrier and was blocked, but the force of the impact drove Yveltal’s body even deeper into the ocean floor.
"You sure have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. Too bad none of them work anymore."
Julian snorted coldly and continued, "wtwo, Ancient Power."
"Julian! Yveltal will never lose. You're dood!"
Lyle had sohow made his way from Babath to this place, his face now contorted with madness. After all, the god he revered in his heart had been beaten by Julian into a tattered, feathered bird, and was now on the brink of death.
"Where did you—"
Julian had just begun to speak to Lyle when the latter pulled out a dagger and plunged it directly into his own heart.
Lyle collapsed to the ground almost instantly. He looked toward Yveltal’s direction and whispered, "Let beco a part of your power…"
"Yveltal!"
Using the last of his strength, he cried out its na.
The next second, he breathed his last.
The instant Lyle's life faded, a massive surge of black mist rose from his corpse. Seeing that black mist, Julian felt a strong sense of foreboding.
"tagross—"
Julian had just begun to order tagross to disperse the black mist when he saw it instantly rge into the fallen Yveltal.
And then, Yveltal was reborn.
As though ti had reversed, the wounds covering its body vanished instantly as the black mist rged with it. There was no healing process—it simply returned to an uninjured state in an instant.
"Yveltal—!!"
A sharp cry erupted from its throat. With a powerful flap of its wings, it struck wtwo's attack. With a loud boom, the rocks were shattered, and Yveltal's body was sent flying back several dozen kiloters.
"Completely healed? Damnit!"
Julian clenched his fists tightly. Seeing Yveltal fully restored made his expression grow impossibly dark. After all the effort it had taken to bring it to such a state, everything had to start all over again.
Moreover, the aura emanating from Yveltal was even stronger than when it had first appeared.

It wasn’t just Julian's imagination. Seeing with the Probing Eyes, Yveltal’s level had indeed risen from 107 to 108, now only one level lower than wtwo.
Could the energy released by Lyle's death really be this imnse, capable of boosting a First-class Legendary like Yveltal by an entire level?
Perhaps it was because Lyle was Yveltal’s summoner.
That seed to be the only explanation.
This had beco troubleso.
wtwo could only remain for five minutes, and over three minutes had already passed. That ant there was just a little over a minute left.
The twin dragons were also in a weakened state. If they continued to fight and suffered heavy damage, they would fall into a deep slumber—one that could last centuries without intervention.
The system shop did have items that could heal First-class Legendaries, but the required points were so exorbitant that Julian felt it would be better to let them sleep for a few hundred years—after all, they wouldn't die anyway.
Facing a Yveltal that was now only one level lower than wtwo, fully healed, and with wtwo's remaining ti limited to just over a minute, Julian was getting a headache.
The effect of Unown's Protection had also long since faded.
And summoning Kyogre would likely drain his lifespan completely, even if he had plenty to spare.
The key issue was that Kyogre wasn't strong enough. Even if it ca, it wouldn't be of much use.
The current Yveltal had at least the combat strength of four or even five Kyogres.

> "This guy's cheating!"
> "What do we do now? Lyle sacrificed himself, and Yveltal beca unstoppable. Champion Walker finally managed to severely injure it, and now we're back to square one."
> "So this is the God of Death? It has way too many tricks, truly terrifying!"
> "I don't think there's any need to worry. Champion Walker still has wtwo and the Black and White Dragons. They can definitely defeat it again."
> "The Black and White Dragons are already in bad shape. The only one Champion Walker can truly rely on now is wtwo."

Witnessing Lyle's sacrifice and Yveltal's recovery, the entire world was in an uproar.
Just monts ago, when Yveltal was severely injured, everyone thought the battle was finally nearing its end. Many news outlets had already drafted their articles, ready to publish as soon as the fight concluded.
But then they watched as Yveltal was restored to full health right before their eyes, and the battle's outco beca uncertain once again.
Moreover, many noticed the grim expression on Julian's face, and a sense of foreboding began to settle in their hearts.
