Moonlight team, are you awake?

"So you're going to...?"

"Congratulations, from now on, you are Ye Fu."

Chapter 285 You are the future "IF"!

"As the first life form in the universe, I was the 'IF' of the universe at that time, but now, only you can become the next 'IF' of the universe."

After saying that, I felt my consciousness was about to leave my body. A strong sense of falling came over me, forcing me to close my eyes tightly. After an unknown amount of time, I opened my eyes again and found myself in a certain space in the solar system, with the sun not far away.

He subconsciously looked at his palm, which was no different from before it was absorbed, but the power within his body had increased explosively.

I dreamt I looked at the sun opposite me, and instinctively raised my hand, and the sun instantly transformed into a black obsidian block.

This startled him, and he quickly raised his hand again, and the sun returned to its original state.

This happened in a very short time; even if someone were right next to the sun, it would have returned to normal before they even noticed anything amiss.

"What just happened is real..." I looked at my palm in disbelief. Without a doubt, this was the ability that came about after fusing with Gulansfia, or rather, Ye Fu.

This level of ability was not something Ye Fu himself possessed before; it was only created after Ye Fu and I merged. It can do almost anything within the rules of the universe itself, and can arbitrarily do anything that conforms to the rules of the universe.

This state is the state that Ye Fu originally intended to reach after absorbing Wo Meng, except that instead of Ye Fu absorbing Wo Meng, Wo Meng washed Ye Fu's hands, but the result remained the same.

In terms of numerical values, my dream is currently in a state of "maximum value", which is the strongest state in Ye Fu's ideal.

Ye Fu originally thought that reaching the "maximum number" state would be enough to fight the evil god, but after analyzing my dream memories, it despairingly discovered that the evil god was likely "infinite".

Even if the entire universe were filled with numbers, that number would still be no match for a tiny ∞. This is the chasm between the finite and the infinite.

"Where is Jete?" With a thought, the entire map of the universe seemed to appear in his mind. He immediately locked onto Jete's location, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of her.

Just now, after I was forcibly abducted by the mother body Sphia Zavors, Jete was extremely anxious and could only wait in place. However, not long after, I suddenly reappeared in front of her, almost face to face.

"My Dream?!" Jete was startled. If My Dream hadn't appeared directly in her field of vision, she wouldn't have been able to detect its presence at all.

“I’m back from Sphia.” I nodded to her.

"It really is you... But why does your aura feel so strange?" Jete tried very hard to sense my dream's aura, but found that she couldn't sense it no matter what she did.

"Well... it's a long story." I dreamt I scratched my head. "Let's go back to Earth first."

"Is Sphia alright now?" Jet was still looking around warily, afraid that a newer and stronger chimera might suddenly appear.

“No more. There won’t be any more Specia chimeras in the future.” Imu shook her head, then added as if she remembered something, “Unless they’re ours.”

"our?"

"Hmm, look." I raised my hand, and clusters of Sphia spheres appeared out of thin air. Then, as before, they coalesced together and transformed into the forms of the mother Sphia Zavors, Sphia Manshuheit, Sphia Wanjiet, Sphia Destrudos, the Sphia Big Iron Block, and Sphia Daiborigu.

After fusing with Leaf Rot, he completely inherited the original Sphia's abilities. He can create Sphia spheres under his control out of thin air and arbitrarily condense any Sphia chimera.

Upon seeing this, Jete instinctively took two steps back, her gaze towards I-meng filled with wariness: "You, are you really I-meng?"

It's no wonder she's so suspicious. After Imu disappeared, she changed so much. First, she became completely undetectable, and then she showed the ability to create the Sphia Sphere. Jete even suspected that the person standing in front of her now was no longer Imu, but Sphia who had taken over Imu's body.

She was right; that was indeed how it would have been. If Ye Fu hadn't read Wo Meng's memories, Wo Meng's abilities wouldn't have changed at this moment, but the mind that controlled this body would have become Ye Fu's.

"Absolutely genuine." I dreamt that she looked wary, so I had no choice but to use my Ultra Telekinesis to transmit everything that had just happened to her, lest she mistake me for an enemy later.

Upon receiving the message from my dream, Jete's expression turned somewhat strange. "So, the Sphia lifeforms are actually on our side...?"

"That's probably it. It used to trust no one but itself, so it spun me around like a top for a month before finally devouring me to complete its final evolution and then go and challenge the evil god." I shrugged. "But it broke down after seeing my memories."

Ye Fu's perceived evil god: An extremely powerful enemy with very high stats and a broken mechanics, requiring multiple playthroughs to collect all equipment, unlock all modifiers, and maximize stats to defeat in a one-on-one fight.

The actual evil god: a cheater who maxes out Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, has no health bar, and whose attack power is listed as "instant death." Upon entering the battlefield, he forcibly plays a defeat cutscene for our side.

“I see…” Jete gradually understood what had happened in my dream. “So, does that mean there won’t be any more enemies besides the evil god?”

"Probably not."

The ultimate weapon of the Destruction Bringer, Zog; the ultimate weapon of the Sphia Lifeform, the mother body Sphia Zavors; and the Leaf Rot body have all been dealt with. Apart from the cosmic monsters that the Evil God's magnetic field might attract, there are no more creatures that want to come and mess with Earth.

However, this is not good news, because it means that the inevitable final moment is approaching.

The evil god is about to awaken. Once it does, the universe will be shrouded in darkness once more. Although I have gained unprecedented power, I am no different from an ordinary person in the face of the evil god.

Ye Fu pinned his hopes on him, hoping that he could unleash the same power as Shining Tiga to defeat the evil god, but I can only say... that can't be guaranteed.

The reason a miracle is a miracle is that it is something outside the realm of common sense. It's not like I can just shout something and everyone will suddenly turn into light and join me in defeating the evil god.

In fact, he had discussed this issue with Tiga in the quantum space. Even Tiga, who was the main body of Shining Form back then, didn't quite understand how that power came about. In fact, it could be said that even if all the Earth warriors who piloted Shining Tiga back then were resurrected and sent to fight Grimd again, that power would most likely not reappear.

Deliberately pursuing something will only prevent miracles from happening.

"Let's go back to Earth first. As for the evil god, let nature take its course."

Chapter 286 You Will Always Be My Hero

After I returned to Earth in my dream, I felt a peace I had never experienced before.

The Sphia life form, the Destruction Bringer, V99, the Space Monster—all became a thing of the past. In a month, he defeated all his enemies.

No more monsters will suddenly appear.

He returned to the door of his small rented room, and when he pushed open the door, Mitsuko was wiping the table while wearing an apron.

Seeing Wo Meng walk in from the door, she tucked her hair behind her ear and exclaimed with delight, "Wo Meng, you're back!"

I didn't answer, but just smiled and walked over, embracing her in her surprised gaze.

"Hey, oh dear, I... I dream, what are you doing? Jete is watching at the door." Mitsuko's face immediately turned bright red. She looked at Jete standing quietly at the door, unsure of where to put her hands.

She didn't find it strange, just a little sudden.

Although they never said anything directly to each other or had many ambiguous moments, they already understood each other implicitly through their daily interactions.

"Today will be quite relaxing, let's go out for a walk later," I suggested.

"Oh? Go shopping with Meng?" She looked excited and rubbed her hands on her apron. "Okay, wait until I finish cleaning the living room."

"Let me do it." I took the mop from her and started doing housework, something I hadn't done in a long time.

I remember when Mitsuko first moved in, the two of them agreed to split the housework 50/50, each doing half. But this didn't last long, because of my dream's excessive overtime. Fortunately, Jete joined later. Her housework skills were just as top-notch as her combat skills. Even 20 of my dreams and Mitsuko combined couldn't match her.

Imu carefully did the housework, while Mitsuko looked at Jete somewhat at a loss. She had always been able to tell that Jete also had feelings for Imu, but she didn't know how to deal with the situation, so she simply chose to play dumb like Imu.

In some ways, Meng and Guangzi are indeed a good match; they are both very good at playing dumb.

To her surprise, Jete's reaction was calm. She stood at the door and watched the whole thing, then calmly walked in as if nothing had happened.

"Jet?" Photon called out to her tentatively.

"Hmm?" Jete's expression was as calm and gentle as ever: "Are you thinking about my dream?"

"Um..." she hesitated, "Just now, my dream and I..."

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Jete shook her head.

"Huh?" Photon was a little confused.

"This is not the time to care about these things, you understand?"

"I see..." Photon nodded, looking somewhat enlightened.

No wonder I changed so much after my dream came back, and Jette also seemed to have come to terms with things.

When they gathered here before, Mitsuko and the others realized that the final moment might be approaching, and the actions of Imu and Jete just now confirmed this.

All the enemies have been defeated, and what will appear next... is an evil god.

The existence of the evil god is like setting a death date for everyone in the universe; when it awakens, everything will come to an end.

And now, that moment is about to arrive.

To put it bluntly, we might all disappear together in just a few days. Everything else seems to become unimportant at this moment. In the face of the final moment, there is nothing that cannot be let go.

"I understand." Photon calmly accepted this news that she had expected.

She felt no fear at all, because she had already given up hope for life. In her month on Earth, she had gained everything she had never dared to dream of before, and she had nothing to regret.

A month ago, she desperately wanted to find a space express to return to Gacis. There was no other reason; she simply didn't want to die in a foreign land. Dying alone in a distant, unfamiliar place was too terrifying.

After meeting Meng, she didn't want to go back. If she had to choose an end point for her life, she would rather end it here, at least there are people who love her and people she loves here.

I quickly finished cleaning the living room, washed my hands, and went out with Mitsuko, who had changed her clothes.

Just before leaving, Mitsuko glanced back at Jett, who then mouthed to her from afar: "Tomorrow is my turn."

Photon smiled slightly and closed the door with me.

It was already evening. I dreamt of walking side by side with Mitsuko down a bustling street. The air was filled with the faint aroma of roasted chestnuts, accompanied by the shouts of vendors from roadside stalls. Everything felt so warm and real. The neon lights on the street flickered, casting an indescribable warmth on the two of them.

Mitsuko wore a simple white dress, her long hair swaying slightly, and an irrepressible smile graced her face. She glanced at Imu, noticing his slightly nervous expression, and couldn't help but feel amused and sweet. "Are you a little nervous?" Mitsuko gently poked his arm, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

Unlike my dream, Photon had already adjusted her mindset; she knew this day would come.

I scratched my head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly. "Sorry, I... don't have much experience." As he spoke, there was a hint of naivety in his eyes, as if his usual cunning and shrewdness, which had tricked countless monsters, had all melted away in the sweet atmosphere of the street.

Guangzi smiled, took his arm, and leaned closer. Her warmth made my heart race. He felt everything soften and brighten, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had slowed down with their steps, leaving only the sweet and pure flutter between them.

They walked up to a roadside stall, and Mitsuko was drawn to the adorable handicrafts on display. "This is so pretty!" she exclaimed, pointing to a bracelet woven from colorful ropes, her eyes brimming with joy. I, watching her focused expression, couldn't help but smile. He reached out and picked up the bracelet, carefully putting it on Mitsuko's finger.

"Look!" Guangzi playfully waved her hand at him.

"It's very good." I felt a little dazed. After fighting monsters for so long, I felt like I was about to become unaccustomed to normal life.

He paid for the bracelet, and seeing that Guangzi was staring at it intently, I tentatively raised my arm and put it around her shoulder from behind.

The moment they made contact, he felt Photon's body stiffen for a second, and then, about a second later, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of the hand that was holding her.

I was slightly startled, thinking that I had been too abrupt and that she was about to remove her hand.

Before I could even think of an apology, Mitsuko gently took his hand and slowly moved it down from his shoulder, across his armpit, to his ribs, and finally to his waist.

She turned her head and looked at me with a smile: "What kind of boy puts his arm around a girl's shoulder? Am I your buddy now?"

"Haha." I dreamt awkwardly scratched my head.

She suddenly snuggled closer to me, whispering against my cheek, "Hold me tighter, I'm more attractive than you think. Didn't you... sneak a peek too?"

My heart raced instantly, and my face flushed, reaching my ears. His mind went blank, leaving only Mitsuko's gentle voice echoing in his ears. Her soft hair brushed against his cheek, carrying a faint fragrance that seemed to shrink the distance between them even further.

He subtly adjusted his posture, carefully wrapping his arms around Mitsuko's waist, as if afraid that too much force would disturb this warm intimacy. Mitsuko nestled in his arms, smiling radiantly, her eyes curving into adorable crescent shapes, seemingly very pleased with this position.

"Feeling better now?" Photon looked up at him mischievously, a sly glint in her eyes, as if teasing him about his earlier embarrassment. Imu opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond, so he could only nod blankly.

"Yeah, it's definitely much better." He finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, his voice a little strained, which even he found somewhat amusing. The monster's roar, the flames and smoke, all seemed like distant memories at this moment; his world consisted only of this moment and the sweetly smiling girl in his arms.

Mitsuko tilted her head, sighed softly, and said in a languid voice, "You know what? I used to think that heroes were all fearless, but now I've discovered..." She changed the subject, her smile deepening, "Heroes can get nervous, blush, and be clumsy too."

This time it was Meng's turn to blush. He hadn't expected that after the truth was revealed, Guangzi would become so proactive.

Mitsuko chuckled and patted his chest. She stepped back slightly, looked earnestly into Imouto's eyes, and said gently, "Thank you, Imouto. Thank you for appearing in my life like a hero when I was at my wit's end. Thank you... thank you for loving me."

She gazed into my dreamy eyes and confessed to him with utmost sincerity: "You will always be my hero."

Chapter 287 I am the mountain, I am the dream, and also... Gaia!

You will always be my hero.

This declaration of love has an infinitely strong impact on someone who loves Ultraman.

My mind was in chaos, my heart pounding wildly. I tried to calm myself down, but found my heart racing uncontrollably. Her sincere confession almost robbed me of all reason; all that remained was her warmth and her irresistible intimacy.

"I dream," she whispered his name, her voice low and gentle, like an invitation, "Do you know? I've been thinking, when will we be able to... express our feelings without just relying on words?"

I was slightly taken aback, and his heart seemed to quicken again. Guangzi's eyes were so full of affection, as if all words were no longer important, only that silent understanding remained.

He didn't answer, but slowly reached out and gently stroked her face. Her skin was as smooth as silk, and as his fingertips brushed against her cheek, it felt as if a warm current flowed through his entire body.

“I dream…” she whispered, her eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and emotion.

Without further hesitation, I lowered my head and slowly moved closer. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, time seemed to stand still, and only the distance between them grew shorter and shorter.

The moment their lips touched, the whole world seemed to stand still. Her breath mingled with his, the gentle kiss a silent promise, their heartbeats perfectly synchronized, their emotions laid bare.

Photon's hands slowly wrapped around my dream's neck, and my dream's hands also instinctively wrapped around her waist.

When they finally parted, their eyes were filled with an indescribable tenderness. A happy smile appeared on Mitsuko's face. She gently nuzzled against Imu's chest and rested her head there: "Imu... I am so happy. Even if it's just this moment, it's enough. I'm so glad I met you. Thank you for your love."

“No need for thanks, because I need you too. I’m never fighting alone, whether it’s facing monsters or anything else. You’ve given me irreplaceable support.” Imu replied sincerely.
