Moonlight team, are you awake?

Although Alien Empera and Imu had agreed to fight an hour later, it was clearly impossible for this message to reach all the enemies simultaneously.

As I dreamt and others began preparing for battle, the Destruction Summoning Entity made a move.

In the far reaches of the Pacific Ocean, the surface of the Mariana Trench suddenly rippled. Huge ripples began to spread across the once calm depths of the ocean, as if the heart of the sea had been shaken by some unknown force. Above the surface, the silent ocean trembled, and massive columns of water surged forth, like silent giant waves erupting from the darkness thousands of meters deep.

This powerful force, like a tremor of the earth, shook the entire ocean, as if some terrifying creature was slowly awakening beneath it. The seawater churned, and the moisture in the air condensed into mist, gradually spreading and enveloping the area. The atmosphere in the entire sea became oppressive, and the enormous water column shook the entire ocean.

Immediately afterward, a black figure burst through the water, piercing the unfathomable trench. The first Baikuh Flying Fish emerged from the sea, its body seemingly composed of pure darkness, its scales shimmering with an eerie blue-black light. Its sharp wings, like blades, sliced ​​through the air with deafening cutting sounds that echoed like thunder. Three pairs of red eyes gleamed coldly on its face, deep and mysterious, carrying an aura that inspired fear. It flapped its wings, carrying an undeniable sense of threat, and soared into the sky.

The appearance of this Baikuh flying fish was like a signal; soon, more flying fish emerged from the Mariana Trench, their numbers increasing rapidly and spreading outwards. Like a black wave, they quickly spread in all directions, covering the entire sea surface. The wings of the flying fish tore through the sky, bringing endless darkness. At first, only a few wisps of dark clouds floated in the air, but as the number of flying fish surged, the sky was gradually obscured by their wings, and darkness, like an endless curtain, slowly descended.

The appearance of each flying fish caused the light between heaven and earth to grow dimmer and dimmer. Eventually, the entire sky of the earth was blocked out, the sunlight of the daytime disappeared rapidly, and night fell suddenly, plunging the earth into a deathly silence of panic.

Tartarus, who noticed the change from afar, couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, at this rate, there's no such thing as an hour of rest time."

As he spoke, he was about to rush out to fight, but Imu and Father of Ultra stopped him at the same time: "Don't worry about this problem, Tartarus, the Alien Empera will handle it."

"You're saying he can handle it?" Tartarus seemed to have heard something unbelievable. "He's an enemy, and an enemy who would absolutely kill us all without hesitation. He'd help us deal with this kind of trouble?"

"Yes, he will do that because that guy values ​​his dignity more than anyone else. Since he said he would let us rest for an hour, then whoever comes during that hour will become his enemy first."

"Focus on preparing for the battle."

Sure enough, less than half a minute after this conversation, a blood-red thunderstorm suddenly appeared over the darkened Pacific Ocean, the rolling crimson lightning seemingly symbolizing the fiery rage of the Alien Empera.

Amidst the crimson lightning, Alien Empera slowly appeared.

He looked at the flying fish of Baikuh filling the sky and the ghuzums stirring in the ocean as if they were dead men.

“I just made a promise, and you all come to cause trouble. This is extremely disrespectful.”

With a wave of his hand, a powerful shockwave instantly cleared the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Then, he raised his right hand high, and an extremely terrifying telekinetic force spread outward from him to the entire Earth.

Without being enhanced or wearing the Dark Armor, the Alien Empera could use his extremely powerful telekinesis to cause the world to change color and even directly interfere with the sun, extinguishing it by rapidly increasing sunspots. Now, after being resurrected and enhanced by Sphia and receiving a minor-level numerical correction, the Alien Empera's telekinesis is strong enough to do whatever he wants within the solar system.

After using telekinesis, the Baikuh flying fish that covered the entire sky seemed to be grabbed by the neck by an invisible hand at the same time. After struggling in mid-air for a few moments, they began to fall. Their dark bodies dissolved and dissipated like charcoal ash after landing.

The Baikuh flying fish were almost completely wiped out in an instant, while the Gakuzom, which had been hiding on the seabed, could no longer restrain itself and emerged from the seabed one after another.

"How ugly. There should be a limit to appreciating beasts." Alien Empera raised his arm, and flesh and blood began to materialize out of thin air in front of him. Then, one after another, modified giant monsters such as Specia and Bemstar appeared in front of Alien Empera.

"It brings back memories. Back then, I still had the energy to do some handicrafts," the Alien Empera remarked, looking at the modified Bemstar before him.

Back when Taro was still active on Earth, Alien Emperor resurrected and modified Yapool. That's why the Yapool suit in episodes 29 and 30 of Taro looked so strange, because it was a body manually made by Alien Emperor. Also, the modified Bemstar, who was under Yapool's command at the time, was also modified by Alien Emperor himself.

Emperor Alien had initially thought highly of him, but unexpectedly, Yapool managed to squander his advantage and lose everything. Emperor Alien had repeatedly called Yapool a bum for this.

Because the modification surgery was performed by himself, and all the data was completely memorized, with the support of the Sfia Sphere, the Alien Empera could perfectly reproduce a work like the modified Bemstar, and also provide numerical corrections.

The modified Bemstar, recreated by Alien Empera, displayed formidable combat capabilities, immediately overwhelming the Gakuzom army. Its immense arm strength and power several times that of Taro were overwhelmingly powerful on the battlefield.

Faced with the overwhelming offensive of the modified Bemstars, the Gakuzom on the other side could not hold on for long and had to gather their many individuals together to merge into their true form: the enhanced Poseidon Gakuzom, which is 1000 meters tall.

Covered in golden enhanced organs, with both hands transformed into sharp weapons and sharp, hard golden fins growing on its back, the fully enhanced version of the enhanced sea god Gakuzom appeared before the Alien Empera with an extremely large size difference.

“Interesting, but meaningless.” A crimson light shone from Alien Empera’s hand as he aimed it at Gakuzom.

Chapter 386 The Emperor Remains Silent, Only Focusing on Razorim

Alien Empera slowly raised his palm, and crimson Rezolim rays condensed in the air, emitting a blinding light. With a slight tremor in his palm, the intense beam of light shot towards the enhanced Gakuzom like lightning, creating a devastating gust of wind.

Faced with the destructive aura of the Rezolim Beam, Gakuzom instantly tensed all its muscles, a flicker of fear in its eyes. It didn't even entertain the idea of ​​using its body's absorption organs to absorb Rezolim, because it could sense that if it dared to absorb this power, it would be 100% unable to withstand such strength and would definitely be burst apart due to exceeding its absorption limit.

Just as the Rezolim Beam struck, a deep black hole suddenly appeared in front of Gakuzom, instantly sucking the entire Rezolim Beam into the black hole and disappearing into the vortex. Almost at the same instant, a similar vortex opened up behind Emperor Alien, from which the beam that had just been sucked in burst forth, shooting straight towards Emperor Alien.

This is Gakuzom's enhanced special ability—the ability to create black holes that absorb light at any point on his body. Furthermore, while the Destruction Bringer hasn't witnessed Hyper Zetton fail, it has indeed considered the possibility that "if the opponent's light output exceeds the black hole's absorption limit," which could lead to its own defeat.

Therefore, it does not set the black hole to only absorb, but also reflects it back to the opponent from another direction while absorbing, achieving an integrated offensive and defensive effect.

Although Alien Empera did not use his full strength to kill Gakuzom due to concerns about the aftereffects of the skill, it was still his ultimate attack. If it had actually hit him, the effect would probably have been outstanding—of course, because he was essentially a Sphia life form, it would have been impossible for it to be fatal.

But if they actually get hit, Alien Empera will probably lose a lot of face.

Just as Rezolim was about to hit Alien Empera, a red light flashed in his eyes. Then, the reflected Rezolim beam suddenly changed direction, twisting in mid-air and redirecting back towards Gakuzom.

This directly burned out Gakuzom's CPU. The original plan for the Destruction Summoning Entity was very comprehensive. It had arranged for a black hole that could absorb reflected light, as well as a body absorption ability as a second layer of insurance. It had even considered a resurrection plan that could be reassembled by countless Gakuzoms if it was destroyed by the opponent.

In terms of defensive capabilities, the Destruction Summoner had already made very thorough arrangements for Gakuzom, but who could have imagined that the opponent's beam could actually bend?

The Rezolim Beam instantly changed direction, striking the unsuspecting Gakuzom directly. Unable to create another black hole while maintaining high-speed absorption, Gakuzom had no choice but to take the brunt of the Rezolim Beam's attack with its own body. Gakuzom screamed almost instantly.

The emperor remained silent, only continuing to chant "Rezolim".

The golden absorption organs on its body visibly began to heat up and change color, just like metal being heated at supersonic speed. In a very short time, they were burned to a bright red. Then, a chilling cracking sound rang out. Gakuzom's body could no longer withstand this power. Its entire body began to melt, turning into pools of molten iron-like liquid, which quickly cooled on the ground and turned into a substance like obsidian.

After the enhanced Gakuzom was destroyed, countless new Gakuzoms rushed out of the seabed, trying to reassemble into a new enhanced Gakuzom. However, Alien Empera obviously wouldn't give them that chance. With a wave of his hand, a violent explosion occurred in the seabed, and all the Gakuzoms that were scattered throughout the seabed were instantly vaporized.

The entire battle lasted less than a minute. The enhanced Gakuzom, along with the Baikuh flying fish scattered across the globe, was completely wiped out. Only the obsidian-like slag on the spot proved that the enhanced Gakuzom had ever existed.

After completely annihilating Rezolim, Alien Empera fluttered his cloak and vanished from the spot in an instant, as if nothing had ever happened.

Tartarus observed this scene and shared it with the others who were preparing for battle.

"That guy's strength is terrifying. That thing that crawled out of the sea, I think it's called Gakuzom? It would probably take us a lot of effort to deal with it, but he took it down in no time." Tartarus felt his palms sweating.

"After all, he's an Alien of Emperor, that guy can be said to be the ultimate opponent of the Land of Light." I wasn't surprised, because the Alien of Emperor's status was indeed very extraordinary.

The existence of Alien Empera has existed in Taro's stories since the Showa era. The shadow of Alien Empera can also be seen behind the cyborgs Yapool and the Empire Alien.

It wasn't until the final episode of the Heisei era, Ultraman Mebius, that Alien Empera finally appeared, and he was the final boss.

From the perspective of the series, Alien Empera is the archenemy of the Ultra race from the Ultra War 40,000 years ago to the Mebius era 40,000 years later. His opponent is the Father of Ultra at his peak, the Phoenix Warrior who brought an end to the bond between the Land of Light and Earth. No matter how you look at it, he is an opponent of extraordinary significance.

From an external perspective, Phoenix Warrior, as the ultimate interpreter of the 40-year bond between Showa Earth and the Land of Light, naturally has an extraordinary position as his opponent, the Alien Empera.

Fighting against such an opponent, I knew from the beginning that there was absolutely no easy way to win.

"You're not nervous at all? Fighting an opponent like that?" Tartarus looked at me with surprise.

“If being nervous worked, I’d use the Cosmic Needle to speed up my heartbeat to 10,000 beats per second right now.” I shrugged. “The key is the method. No matter how intimidating the opponent seems, as long as they are still a reasonable opponent, there is always a way to defeat them. In any situation, you should try to find a strategy. That’s how I’ve survived to this day.”

"But you should also understand that some things are forever left in yesterday." Tartarus glanced sideways at Mebius, who was deep in thought in the distance, then said to Mebius, "Even if you bring Ultraman Hikari here, the Phoenix Warrior can never..."

"Always believing that the impossible can become possible is why Ultraman can keep winning." Imu pointed to himself and said, "We exist because of people's hopes for heroes. If even we, and those who believe in us, give up hope, the world will really be doomed."

Tartarus shook his head in confusion: "I don't understand... but if there really is a miracle, then let it happen to me, Ultraman Gaia."

Chapter 387 The Third Kind of Light!

Inside the Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light

Hikari was focused on the complex instrument in his hands, glancing occasionally at the data displayed on the machine next to him.

“We need to develop more advanced identity authentication technology... Otherwise, no matter how many scientific inventions we have, they will eventually be used by people with ulterior motives,” Hikari murmured.

As the head of the Science and Technology Bureau, Hikari's scientific research capabilities are beyond doubt. Back when the original Ultraman was active on Earth, Hikari developed the astonishing life solidification technology, which solidified life energy and made it possible to inject it into living organisms at will, thus making the resurrection of the dead no longer just a pipe dream. It was thanks to this technology that the original Ultraman and Hayata were able to save their lives.

After that, in order to deal with Juda, which was born from the distortion of the universe, Hikari specially developed the Knight's Sword Flute, which could counter Juda. This weapon has a divine power that is exactly the opposite of Juda's, and it can play a role in achieving twice the result with half the effort when dealing with Juda. In the end, Victory successfully defeated Juda by using the power of this equipment.

Later, due to the war caused by Belial, Hikari invented the Geed Riser and Ultra Capsules, as well as the later improved Zeta Riser and Ultra Medals. Through the power of the Ultra Warriors enshrined in these items, even ordinary guards can unleash power comparable to the Ultra Brothers under certain circumstances.

These props and weapons did indeed play a significant role, but in turn, they attracted the covetous eyes of those with ulterior motives.

His life solidification technology was so advanced that the Baltan aliens coveted it, which led to the war against the Land of Light at the end of the Ultraman Jack TV series. When Ultraman Jack was on duty on Earth, he had to abandon everything on Earth and rush back to the Land of Light to provide support after hearing about the Baltan aliens' "Ultra Brothers Annihilation Plan".

Fortunately, everything turned out alright. The Land of Light withstood even Emperor's invasion, so what was the invasion of the Baltan aliens?

However, this war did indeed cause considerable losses to the Land of Light. Hikari felt very guilty about this, so he resigned from his position as head of the Science and Technology Bureau and chose to go to Arbok to conduct research and take some time to reflect.

As everyone knows, Arbok was attacked by Bogaru. Even though Hikari risked everything to fight, he couldn't save Arbok. As a result, he became the Hunter Knight Sword and became involved in the story of Mebius.

Inspired by Mebius and GUYS, Hikari regained his confidence, returned to the Science and Technology Bureau, and developed incredible gadgets like the Geed Riser and the Zeta Riser. However, one of these gadgets was stolen by Fukuide Kirito, and the other was snatched away by the bug-like Cerebro in the chaos, causing quite a bit of trouble.

Hikari had to make a painful decision and postpone his plans for further research on the gadgets, choosing instead to first resolve the issue of identification to prevent them from being taken and misused by just anyone.

Just as he was engrossed in analyzing the data, the door to the research room was suddenly pushed open by Zero in a flustered manner: "Hey, Hikari, it's important!"

"Zero?" Hikari wasn't very surprised. After all, Zero had barged in recklessly more than once or twice, and he had used the excuse of "important matters" quite a few times. In the end, almost every time it was something like "Could you make some medals for Zeta?", "Can you help me fix the broken parts of Janbert?", "Can you help me take a look at the strange noise of Jannet's engine?". Although they weren't small matters, they weren't actually particularly urgent.

"What's going on this time?" Hikari calmly picked up the instrument and continued operating it.

"The Alien Empera has been resurrected!" Zero's words caused Hikari to drop his electronic pen with a clatter.

"Who did you say was resurrected?!" Hikari turned around in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock: "Emperor Alien? Are you sure it was Emperor Alien who was resurrected?"

"That's right. Father of Ultra and Mebius are already preparing for war seriously. That guy is going to declare war on us in less than an hour!"

"How could this be? Why did he suddenly come back to life? This is impossible! His Dark Four Heavenly Kings, the Ultimate Fighting Device and Mechanical Zam used for his resurrection, and even the Dark Armor—all of these things should have disappeared by now..."

The Alien Empera had been dead for over ten thousand years, and even the battle with the Dark Armor was ten thousand years ago. Hikari truly couldn't believe that after so much time had passed, he would still hear such explosive news.

"It's a long story, but in short, they asked me to take you there, saying that you have to be in this battle no matter what," Zero said in a deep voice.

“But now I can no longer…” Hikari put down the tools in his hand, walked to the window, and gazed at the vast universe above the Land of Light through the electronic window. His mood suddenly became very complicated. The time he spent fighting alongside the GUYS team members seemed to surge into his mind again.

He knew perfectly well why he had to be called upon to deal with Alien Empera. Against such an opponent, neither Super Taro nor Infinite Mebius seemed to be able to predict the outcome. Only the Phoenix Warrior, formed by their fusion, truly possessed power that surpassed Empera's.

Over the years, Hikari had actually tried many times in private. He had fused his and Mebius's power together countless times in the form of Ultra Capsules or Ultra Medals, but he had never produced even a trace of power similar to that of the Phoenix Warrior.

The core of Phoenix Warrior is not just him and Mebius. What truly constitutes this power is the friendship and bond between GUYS, and humanity's response to Ultraman's feelings over the past few decades. It is the combination of these elements that created the miraculous Phoenix Warrior.

What good is it to simply bring him and Mebius together now?

But

"I understand," Hikari replied in a low, steady voice, though he couldn't control the turmoil within himself.

Hikari's thoughts suddenly drifted away from his current scientific work, traveling through time and space back to ten thousand years ago, to his time on Earth. Back then, not only the Aliens Empera, but even his Dark Lords and Impreza had repeatedly pushed them to the brink of certain death.

However, even in such difficult circumstances, no one ever despaired, because they all believed in the power of their comrades. GUYS always provided support with unexpected meteor technology, and Mebius and Hikari always unleashed unexpected power.

At that time, although it was always dangerous and difficult, there was always a constant stream of strength coming from within.

Hikari and Mebius, along with the GUYS members, fought side by side, experiencing life-or-death trials time and time again. It was in those life-or-death crises that they forged such a deep bond.

He remembered that after many battles, he had stood in the shadows as Serizawa, watching his teammates, standing with them on the shattered battlefield, in the bright starry sky, surrounded by the world they had once protected with their blood and sweat.

At that moment, all the fatigue and pain seemed to disappear, replaced by a silent promise—no matter what the future holds, they will continue to protect this starry sky.

"How could I be absent at a time like this?" Hikari said as he rearranged his equipment, putting on the newly forged Hero's Armor.

Meanwhile, in my dream world, the humans are also holding an intense meeting.

"We humans have become increasingly helpless in recent battles," said Kibi Gosuke, the head of the West Asia branch, sitting at the virtual conference table.

"The key lies in weaponry. Although we've been working desperately to develop it, it still can't keep up with the pace of combat iteration. Current weapons can easily wipe out any opponent that has appeared in the past 60 years, but against today's enemies, they can't even catch a whiff of dust," said Arthur Grant, the captain of the Australian branch, shrugging.

"Another very important point is that we must also consider that we cannot become a hindrance." Far East Branch Commander Megumi Iruma expressed her opinion, "If we insist on joining the battle out of pride when we are already weak, we will only slow down the Ultramen. I think everyone understands this."

“That makes sense, but we should do something, even if it’s just a little bit of help,” said Xiang Yuanlong, commander of the Asian branch.

"On this point, we do have some solutions that haven't been practically tested yet." Images of Dr. Tango, Dr. Otomo, Dr. Yao, and Dr. Fujisawa Asami appeared in the virtual conference room.

"My research focuses on analyzing Ultraman's beam power system, Dr. Otomo's research focuses on the application of advanced life forms, Dr. Yao's research focuses on the development of new energy sources, and Dr. Fujisawa Asami focuses on the development of the cutting-edge technology 'Meteor Technology'," Tango introduced to everyone in turn.

"So, what's the plan?" Everyone looked on expectantly.

"In the battles we've observed so far, the Ultramen often combine their powers, and then the fusion of these two different forces unleashes unimaginable power." Tango used holographic technology to create an image in the air: "Furthermore, judging from recent events, that golden giant is a very special being. Initially, only he possessed those high-energy special particles; the particles on the other giants were different from his. But later, everyone possessed those particles, and as the types of particles increased, their energy reactions also increased dramatically."

Dr. Yawei followed up by drawing many symbols: "Not all energy particles can be fused. According to our calculations, the two types of particles on them are special light particles. That is to say, only light particles can fuse together. This also means that if we can find more types of light particles, we can further increase their energy intensity."

“Dr. Yao, could it be…” Megumi seemed to have thought of something.

Dr. Yawei nodded: "That's right, the Magus energy we developed is also a brand new type of light particle."

Chapter 388 Mebius - Infinite Form

"So, we can inject Megas energy into Ultraman to enhance their power?" Everyone's eyes lit up.

“That’s right, this is a completely unexpected discovery. If it weren’t for that golden giant who showed us this possibility, we might never have imagined that Ultraman has this ability to fuse light particles.” Dango nodded.

Although the Magus power system was successfully developed not long ago, its initial purpose was simply to provide humanity with an almost inexhaustible energy source; the idea of ​​weaponizing it came about later.

It wasn't until Tartarus bestowed the power of Absolut upon the Ultra Warriors, causing their strength to increase dramatically, that Otomo, who was the first to notice this change, hopped like a monkey to find Dango. Because he was usually in charge of biology-related content, he was most sensitive to changes occurring in the Ultra Warriors.

Tango and Otomo spent the whole night confirming this, and then without sleeping, they went to Dr. Yamata's room and knocked on the door. After obtaining Dr. Yamata's permission, they tested the Magus energy and finally confirmed that the Magus energy was indeed the third type of light particle, belonging to the same system as the power of the Ultra Clan and the power of the Absolut Clan.

To turn the plan into usable equipment, we needed to contact Dr. Fujisawa Asami from the Asian branch. She led the development of the meteor technology project and has extensive practical experience in this area.

After confirming the feasibility of the plan, the four of them immediately attended the meeting and shared their research findings with everyone.

"How long would it take to build a machine that can achieve this goal?" asked Kibi Kosuke, the head of the West Asia branch, eagerly.
