Ultraman: The Grim Reaper from Ancient Times

Chapter 1 Is this still Earth?

Deep in the universe.

In the desolate darkness, a cold planet floats silently.

A thick layer of ice envelops the entire planet, making it appear from a distance like an ice sculpture lying in the void.

This is a frozen planet.

The star system here came to an end a long time ago when the star reached the end of its lifespan.

As a result, it lost all light and heat, entering the Ice Age.

Surprisingly, even in such an extreme environment, there are still traces of civilization on this planet!
Simply incredible!

"Where did I get this from? Is this still Earth?"

Inside a shelter, Ryan rubbed his hands together and breathed on his palms, hoping to warm himself up.

For him, time travel was something that only existed in fantasy novels.

But now, perhaps he really has transmigrated, and it's a rare case of physical transmigration.

He was once a corporate slave enjoying the "blessing" of 996 work schedule in the 21st century.

That day, the Earth witnessed an unprecedented meteor shower.

He tried making a wish upon a shooting star, hoping it would bless him to end his current high-pressure life and one day change his destiny.

Then······
My wish came true.

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and then the scenery before him changed drastically.

The once warm environment has disappeared, replaced by a sky full of ice and snow, and a biting cold.

In just a few breaths, he felt as if all the blood in his body was about to freeze.

Fortunately, before losing consciousness, he seemed to vaguely see some shadowy figures slowly gathering around him, looking at him with curiosity.

Humanity?

Why are their outfits all so futuristic?

After regaining his senses, he learned from those people that this was the so-called peaceful country.

This country got its name because everyone here longs for peace.

At first, he thought he had arrived at some place between the North and South Poles, but after this exchange, he realized something was wrong.

How could countries exist in the North and South Poles?

After gaining a deeper understanding, he finally realized what had happened here.

It is said that the sun here exploded a long time ago, causing the entire planet to enter an ice age.

The average surface temperature reached an astonishing minus two hundred degrees Celsius.

The civilization of the peaceful nation is very advanced; otherwise, it would not have been able to survive the Big Bang.

If classified according to the standards of civilizations on Earth, it would probably be equivalent to a Type IV civilization.

They already possess sufficient capabilities to explore a wider universe and even venture beyond their own galaxy.

Over the past period of time, they have made many efforts to ensure the continuation of civilization.

They firmly believe that they can overcome this dark period of history, and that their scientists will surely bring them new light.

Since then, scientists on the Peace Star have begun building massive planetary engines on the Earth's surface.

A tall tower was built at the center of the planet, which served as the control center for numerous planetary engines.

The more he listened to the script, the more familiar it seemed, making him think several times that he had traveled to the world of The Wandering Earth.

But he soon discovered that the reason the people here were able to communicate with him normally was because they relied on a language translation machine.

In other words, the two sides do not speak each other's native languages.

Moreover, the idea of ​​taking a planet on a journey is merely an alternative for the humans in the peaceful land.

After the star explodes.

Disagreements and differing philosophies arose among the outstanding scientific team aboard Peace Star.

A group of people began building tens of thousands of planetary engines in the hopes of finding a new habitable place for their home planet.

Another group of people had a different idea. They wanted to solve the problem at its root and therefore decided to develop a permanent energy source that could maintain the basic ecological balance of the planet.

Perhaps the previous stellar explosions had left them with a lingering fear. They believed that even if they found a new star belt and settled down, that star might explode at any time.

Since that's the case, why not change their way of life?

Therefore, this idea is more likely to be accepted by people in peaceful countries.

Is it possible to go back?

Renn felt a headache coming on and even missed his life as a corporate slave.

He roughly understood that he was probably no longer on Earth.

He is not a native of the peaceful country; he is just a "vulnerable" Earthling.

Putting aside the extreme weather on this planet, it's already beyond what normal Earthlings can withstand.

The gravity on this planet, which is several times that of Earth, put him under immense pressure.

Even walking feels difficult.

I'm already incredibly lucky to have survived this transmigration.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that the technology of peaceful countries is too advanced.

He had previously woken up in a nutrient tank, where his life force was said to be extremely weak; had it been a few seconds later, he would not have survived.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in this shelter now, where the gravity ratio could be freely adjusted, even if he had been rescued, his internal organs might have ruptured due to the terrifying gravity pressure!
He had previously asked if he could be sent back to his own planet.

But they were unexpectedly rejected, though the people of the Peaceful Country provided an explanation.

It is said that an invasion is currently taking place in the universe, and the Kingdom of Peace is located at the very center of this storm.

At such times, one is highly likely to be targeted by the ruthless Imperial Legion.

"Andrew the Super Warrior?"

"Those guys who are fighting against that evil empire, isn't that their name?"

"Why does this sound so familiar?"

Ryan seemed to have caught something, but perhaps because it wasn't very memorable, he let it slip away again.

······
"It's a success! Our scientists have succeeded!"

"Great!"

"When did this happen? Have we finally escaped the darkness and seen the light again?"

······
Cheers suddenly erupted from outside the window.

This completely caught Rein's attention. He curiously peeked out the window and used the communicator in the shelter to contact one of his only acquaintances from the Kingdom of Peace.

"Tails brothers, what's going on? Why does it look like they're celebrating?"

In such an unfamiliar environment, the slightest sound or movement was enough to make him panic.

And Tails is the land of peace, the one who sent people to entertain him.

It must be said that this peaceful country is indeed very friendly, just as they say, they are a peace-loving race.

This also breaks the stereotype that Ryan had formed about this group of aliens due to the influence of various movies and TV shows on Earth.

However, on the other end of the communicator came Tails' excited voice: "Great, Lord Rein, our scientists have succeeded! We can finally break free from the curse of darkness!"

"Our scientists, through generations of accumulation and hundreds of years of effort, have finally developed an artificial sun with inexhaustible energy!"

"We call it the Plasma Spark, and the darkness here will be completely dispelled under the illumination of this Plasma Spark!"

"The long-awaited light is finally about to arrive!"

Renn was taken aback, then suddenly frowned.

and many more.

No, absolutely no.

Plasma spark?
This is no longer just familiar; it's practically famous.

However, before he could react, Tails continued, "By the way, Lord Rein, I must remind you that your genetic factors are too 'primitive,' and it may be too early for you to come into contact with this light."

"It's best not to touch it and stay away from windows, otherwise..."

Ryan hurriedly asked, "Otherwise what would happen...?"

But before he could finish speaking, he saw a dazzling, scorching white light rise from the horizon...
