Ultraman: The Grim Reaper from Ancient Times

Chapter 5 The Land of Light Under Fire!
On this day, the universe was thrown into turmoil once again.

The ancient Gua Empire and the Andrians, who had already reached a truce, have launched a new great war.

Moreover, it is an unprecedented total war!

The battlefield has spread throughout the entire universe, with most of the universe's races participating in this war.

Compared to the scale of this conflict, previous wars were more like small-scale skirmishes.

Just as Renn said, the temporary peace seemed to be gone forever.

······
"what is that?"

"Another meteorite?"

"Is the gravitational storm not over yet?"

······
The evolved super-vision of the Light race allows them to easily capture images from space.

As some people gazed at the sky, they vaguely spotted what appeared to be countless dark dots rapidly approaching from the depths of space.

Completely oblivious to the danger, they stopped to look around and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Tails was one of them.

Having learned from their previous experience dealing with a meteor shower, they were no longer as panicked this time.

Suddenly, Tails's gaze sharpened as he noticed that faint, dazzling light was shimmering on each of those tiny black dots.

At the same time, as the black spot magnified in his eyes, he seemed to have discovered something, and his mouth suddenly went dry.

With a trembling voice, he shouted, "Oh no! That's not a meteorite, it's a fleet of ships! The fleet of the Gua Empire! Take cover!"

Before he could finish speaking, those dazzling beams of light shot into the atmosphere, transforming into enormous pillars of light hundreds of meters in diameter that slammed into the crowd.

This is a laser railgun, standard equipment for the Gua Empire fleet.

The Gua Legion once used this destructive weapon to destroy planet after planet, earning it infamy throughout the universe.

Countless warships simultaneously fired laser railguns, raining down like raindrops, directly scavenging the planet's surface.

Wherever the artillery fire passed, not an inch of ground remained intact.

All that remained were countless pits and the faint aura of the Light Clan scattered across the ground.

The Light People are half-energy beings.

Ordinary superficial injuries can heal themselves by consuming their own energy.

There's nothing that can be done about serious injuries.

Fortunately, although the barrage of artillery fire resulted in numerous injuries, no one has lost their life yet.

That's how durable semi-energy bodies are.

But this is only the first round.

Soon another round of artillery fire rained down, and this time most of the attacked people lost their fighting ability, and there were even individual deaths.

Then came the third round of cleaning, the fourth round of cleaning, and so on...
It wasn't until the fifth round of cleansing that the sky gradually calmed down.

In the ruins, Tails was fortunate enough not to die from the artillery fire, perhaps due to his Red Clan constitution.

Although he was lucky enough to survive, he suffered serious injuries. He felt burning pain all over his body and no part of him felt comfortable.

He climbed out of a deep pit and looked around, only to see that his tribesmen, who had been chatting and laughing with him just moments before, were now lying motionless on the ground.

Their eyes had lost their luster, and the color timer had gone out.

During this period, the scientists of the Land of Light discovered that the color timer is their energy core and also the source of life.

Once the radiance is lost, it means... death!

"Damn it, bastard!"

He cursed loudly and looked up at the fleet of ships of the Ancient A Empire in the sky.

However, they discovered that dozens of figures were flying down from the fleet.

These are monster weapons from the Gua Empire!

Boom boom boom!
Once they fell to the ground, they bared their teeth and claws and began to attack their surroundings.

Or from the mouth, from the abdomen, or from the eyes.

They can unleash attacks such as flames, cold air, and beams of light.

Wherever it goes, it burns buildings, freezes everything, and shatters everything.

"stop it now!"

He confronted one of the monsters, attempting to stop its destruction.

But lacking any skills or combat experience, he appeared extremely clumsy.

He had barely gotten close when the monster spotted him, then turned around and swept him to the ground with its thick tail.

The simple-minded monster, enraged by the interruption of its "game," stomped directly on Tails' chest with its red eyes. *Clang!*
creak creak!

The terrifying force seemed to have slightly crushed Tails' chest.

Tails forcefully pried open the monster's foot, unleashing terrifying arm strength that allowed him to easily lift the monster's foot.

Caught off guard, the monster was thrown off balance and landed face-first in the dirt.

Tails was overjoyed, having gained a clearer understanding of his own power.

Just as he was preparing to press his advantage, the commotion attracted the attention of the other monsters.

Two more monsters began to approach him.

One of the monsters casually spat out a beam of light, knocking him to the ground in excruciating pain, rendering him unable to fight anymore.

The remaining monsters continued their rampage, heading deeper into the Land of Light.

Because of the previous barrage of artillery fire, most of the Light Clan had lost their fighting ability, so there were almost no major obstacles along the way.

One monster was already a huge challenge for Tails, let alone the combined attack of three monsters.
Tails was like a ball, being kicked around and passed back and forth by the three-headed monster.

He was already in a daze shortly afterward.

······
Mold was the one who commanded this invasion.

He had been keeping a close eye on the battlefield in the Land of Light and had witnessed the changes that had taken place there.

After detecting the presence of high-purity energy on this planet, a combat plan was immediately formulated.

But what he didn't expect was that, stimulated by the energy of that energy source, the humans on this planet had already undergone super-evolution.

Fortunately, they don't seem to have fully grasped this newfound power yet.

They have absolutely no fighting ability.

Otherwise, this plan might fail.

This factor was not taken into account in the current operational plan, which treats it as a typical war of aggression.

Mold chuckled and used his mind to spread his voice throughout the entire Land of Light: "How pathetic."

"They clearly possess this power, yet they don't know how to use it at all."

"I am Mord of the Ancient Empire, a fool from the so-called peaceful country! Hand over that high-purity energy object now!"

"Only the great Gua Empire is worthy of possessing such a treasure."

·······
So it came about for plasma spark?

Tails endured the pain in his body, feeling as if a fire was burning inside him.

At that moment, he seemed to understand what Ryan had meant by something precious.

Unfortunately, he lacked the power to protect them.

It's only now that I realize this, but it seems it's all too late.

He glanced at the three-headed monster kicking him like a ball, and knew that his life might end today.

hum!
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation quietly spread over an area of ​​several kilometers.

The monsters' tireless passing-the-foot tactics came to an abrupt end.

Tails, however, did not feel fortunate because an immense pressure was falling on him.

boom!
Click, click, click!

The ground was so powerful that it cracked under the pressure.

Under this pressure, the world in Tails' eyes seemed to have changed drastically.

The sky, which was originally illuminated by the white and green glow of the plasma sparks, seemed to have been tinged with red!
It seemed as if no sound could be heard anymore, and the whole world became quiet.

He glanced at the three-headed monster.

But they found that the three monsters, which were originally ferocious and arrogant, were now filled with fear, and their bodies were trembling slightly.

It no longer resembles a biological weapon; it looks more like a frightened little pet.

"What is this? What happened?"

Tails was horrified.

It was as if something several times more terrifying than the three monsters before them was quietly brewing something.

ta ta ta

The auditory organs, which seemed to be unable to hear anything before, finally showed some fluctuations.

It was a series of heavy footsteps, gradually approaching from afar.
