Fang Yuan's eyes gleamed as he stared at the Three Divine Birds.
The phoenix had put its three subordinates to work.
Lugia had sold its own brother.
And you? What do you have?
Manpower, resource, you must have one or the other, right?
At this moment, Flame, Articuno, and Zapdos were all deep in meditation.
As a unique member within the group of the Three Divine Birds, their status was actually very high, almost akin to a "Clan Leader."
They were familiar with many other divine birds of their kind.
Aside from those ugly mutated variants from the Galar region, they could more or less command the normal Three Divine Birds.
So...
"Chirp————"
After pondering for a moment, Articuno was the first to express its stance.
It shook its body, and a feather that contained intense Ice Energy, in no way weaker than the wave motion of the Ice that never melts in a thousand years Fang Yuan had acquired, slowly drifted forth in an ice-blue hue.
"Chirp————!!"
Articuno's gaze was resolute.
It was all in.
Although parting with this feather might mean several years of recovery, for the sake of revenge, it was worth it!!
"Chirp!! (This is the Feather of Frost and Snow...)"
Merely by waving it, one could freeze the moisture in the air to create a blizzard that could last for days and nights.
Most importantly, possessing it meant gaining the friendship of all Articunos and their assistance.
The Ice God prepared to inform Articunos from all over the world to come and help Fang Yuan; although those Articunos were not as strong as it, they were plentiful in number.
Articuno had made a significant sacrifice, as it couldn't leave the Orange Archipelago, so from now on, it all depended on Fang Yuan.
"Don't worry, not a single baddie will get away."
Fang Yuan, upon seeing the Feather of Frost and Snow, hurriedly beckoned Dragonite over to carefully receive and hold it!
Dragonite: `(+﹏+)′
Dragonite, having taken the drifting Feather of Frost and Snow, did nothing yet found itself covered in a thin layer of frost.
Dragonite wanted to cry and called out Monferno to hold it instead!
"Chirp————"
On the other side, seeing Articuno present its most important feather, Zapdos was stunned, fell silent for a moment, and then a golden feather permeated with lightning also lifted from its body.
"Chirp!! (This is the Feather of Thunder and Lightning. With it, you can gain the friendship of all Zapdos around the world, except those from Galar who can't even fly properly! Afterward, I will also find a way to notify them to come help you.)"
"Excellent! Dragonite, catch it!" Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.
Indeed, judging by its energy, it's another Legends Resource.
"Bwoo~~~~"
Following the Feather of Frost and Snow, Dragonite caught the Feather of Thunder and Lightning next to it.
It had just shaken off the frost when a tingling electric current quickly invaded its body, causing some difficulty even spreading its wings.
Dragonite felt that these two items might be even more powerful than the respective Z Pure Crystals.
Directly using these feathers to perform corresponding elemental Moves... it seemed like one could directly channel the Power of Nature?
No doubt Legendary Level resources.
Lastly, Fang Yuan looked towards Moltres, and at that moment, Moltres, with a look of pain, separated a flame-shaped red feather from itself.
If Fang Yuan was somewhat unfamiliar with the Legends Resources given by Articuno and Zapdos, he knew exactly what Moltres was presenting.
Feeling the familiar Life Fluctuation and Pyro Power upon it, Fang Yuan nodded; it was clearly a very standard Fire of Life.
But...
Just one?
How stingy!!
"This also commands the friendship of all Moltres around the world, right?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Chirp..." the god of fire nodded.
"Well, that's not too bad then."
Despite his internal complaints, Fang Yuan was also clear that Moltres wouldn't really part with eight or ten Fire of Lifes.
The Legends Resources given by the Three Divine Birds were precious items with Autonomy that had separated from their bodies and could be preserved for a long time, not merely a simple feather.
Parting with it was like taking the leek from Farfetch'd or the Bone Club from Geodude; it would cause them significant grief.
So, feeling that this Fire of Life was even more abundant than the energy Master Tao Xiuying had given him, Fang Yuan nodded and did not press Moltres any further.
Mainly, Fang Yuan was now setting his sights higher. As opposed to the Fire of Life, he was more interested in Ho-Oh's Holy Ash, and if he missed out on that later, he could still demand it from Moltres without hurry.
"Bwoo——"
Without needing Fang Yuan to remind it, Dragonite went ahead and took it.
"Right... about the Ho..." At last, Fang Yuan was indeed planning to negotiate with Ho-Oh for the Holy Ash.
But before he could even speak, Ho-Oh nodded, spread its wings, and said, "I'm off to summon the Three Sacred Beasts for you; no need to thank me."
Faster than anyone else could fly.
In the blink of an eye, it had flown away under the bewildered expressions of Lugia and the Three Divine Birds.
Fang Yuan was agape.
He just regretted not being as swift with his words as Ho-Oh in flight.
The more he thought about it, the more vexed he became.
He could only turn to the Sea God Lugia.
"What's wrong?" Lugia looked puzzled.
"Uhm..." Fang Yuan pushed Dragonite forward and said, "Sea God Boss, what do you think of my Dragonite's quality?"
.........
Meanwhile.
Ice Island.
After the Blizzard had died down, the Alliance's personnel had rapidly arrived on the scene.
Under the orders of Heavenly King Ke Na, a group of police officers reluctantly cuffed Gil Ruth outside the incredibly luxurious, massive Sky Fortress.
"Was this used to capture the Three Divine Birds?"
Heavenly King Ke Na gazed at the immense warship, contemplating the wealth of Gil Ruth.
"..."
Now escorted by two police officers, Gil Ruth was aware that his collecting scheme could likely not continue. At this moment, he had also calmed down significantly.
