Moonlight team, are you awake?

"The first machine will be assembled on the assembly line in half an hour," Dr. Asami Fujisawa asserted.

"So fast? You turned this from a theoretical conjecture into a practical application in just one night and one morning?" asked Megumi Kijima, who had previously worked in a research organization, incredulously.

“Because the Magus energy generator is originally part of the Magus power system, we only need to build a transmitter. The problem is much simpler than we thought,” Dr. Yao explained.

"That would be best. So, our next objective is to transfer the Megatron Energy to the Ultramen when they appear?"

“Yes, but this mission can only be completed by the members of the Asian branch.” Dr. Fujisawa Asami looked at Aihara Ryu: “Because currently, the only ship capable of carrying the Magus energy transmitter is the Phoenix Assault of the Asian branch.”

"So, it's time for us to show our skills." Aihara Ryu stood up with a smile.

"But weren't all the members of the Asian branch injured in the previous battles?" Kibi Gosuke stood up and asked.

"It's alright, the reserve team members have matured," Aihara Ryu comforted them. "Although they are still rookies, there is no doubt that they are also the best defense team members!"

"Then we'll leave it to you." The others stood up and nodded to them.

............

After a full hour of preparation, Gamu sent the aliens who had been beaten to the brink of death by Zagi back to recuperate, while Ginga and Victory were sent to Mother of Ultra for treatment. Only the Heisei Ultras, including Gamu, remained to continue fighting.

"Father of Ultra, is your body still able to hold up?" Before the battle began, I quietly asked Father of Ultra.

Although Father of Ultra did recover a lot after obtaining the cosmic beast Buffalo, the intensity of these battles was simply too high. Not to mention the recovered Father of Ultra, even Taro in his prime would not be able to withstand such a series of fusions and high-intensity battles.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the Father of Ultra's ability to persevere until now is an astonishing level of resilience.

When asked about my dream, Father of Ultra simply shook his head and said, "It's alright. At least I can hold on this time. Don't underestimate me."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you this time."

My dream is to first combine with Father of Ultra as the main body and exchange a few blows with Emperor Alien. If that doesn't work, then we'll switch to Infinite Mebius to combine.

While it's possible to mimic Mebius's aura using the Cosmic Needle, thus achieving a fusion with Mebius as the main body, doing so would consume the Cosmic Needle, making it impossible to use the Cosmic Needle to transform items after fusion.

Even after combining with Mebius as the main body, Mebius can still use the Cosmic Needle to create various items.

At the exact second that the hour had passed, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and the Alien Empera appeared, bathed in blood-red lightning.

"This guy is really punctual," Zero remarked. Then, everyone pulled out their transformation devices, and colorful transformation lights instantly illuminated the sky.

"Everyone, proceed as planned." Imu nodded to everyone, and then everyone poured their energy into Father of Ultra's Ultra Antenna. The latter's aura surged instantly, and even the muscles on his body bulged.

"This does feel a lot like it did back then." Alien Empera watched Father of Ultra complete the fusion and commented on his current state.

Although Father of Ultra has aged considerably, the combined power makes their strengths more even.

"Let's continue the battle as before, Alien Empera." Father of Ultra drew the Ultimate Blade.

"Hmph, I couldn't be happier." The Alien Empera also drew his Empera Blade.

Although Alien Empera now has a sharper Dark Cloth to use, since it's a continuation of the battle from back then, and Father of Ultra is using the same weapon from that time, Alien Empera is naturally happy to use the Empera Blade he used in the final battle.

Before the battle began, the combined Father of Ultra used the power of Nexus to create the Meta Field. Emperor Alien tacitly approved of this behavior so that Father of Ultra could unleash his power without restraint and so that the battle could be enjoyed to the fullest.

Facing Father of Ultra, Alien Empera did not choose to use Dark Shockwave or telekinesis, because such skills are only useful against those weaker than himself. Against opponents of the same level, using such skills would simply be adding special effects to each other, without any real effect.

Two individuals who possess top-tier skills even among the minor kings simultaneously chose, without prior agreement, the most primitive form of combat: drawing their swords and slashing at each other.

The blades clashed, producing a crisp sound. The intensity of this battle far surpassed that of forty thousand years ago. Both sides attacked at speeds beyond the reach of conventional observation. Amidst the flashing blades, the laughter of Alien Empera gradually rose: "Delightful, truly delightful! Father of Ultra, fighting with you has made me feel truly alive again. It feels as if I have traversed forty thousand years of time, as if I have crossed through space and time!"

"Similarly, whether it's 40,000 years ago or 40,000 years from now, nothing will change!" Father of Ultra swung his sword.

The two sides clashed tens of thousands of times in just a few minutes at an extremely fast pace. The protracted battle from 40,000 years ago seemed to be condensed into today, with every move and every stance carrying a familiar feeling.

After another collision, the two who brushed past each other simultaneously gathered energy in their palms—

"Rezolim Ray!"

"Cosmic Miracle Ray!"

The two forces were launched simultaneously and collided in the middle of each other. After a stalemate lasting several minutes, the energy of the collision was so great that it triggered a huge explosion in the middle of the wave, which shook the two forces apart.

The two took a few steps back, then gripped the Ultimate Blade and Emperor Blade tightly in their hands.

Without any verbal communication, they both understood each other's intentions.

Two figures, one in black and one in white, collided with each other in a blur, and separated after a dull cutting sound.

Father of Ultra collapsed, clutching his wound, while Alien Empera was also cut with an extremely horrific wound and knelt on the ground.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, this battle should have ended in mutual destruction, just like it did forty thousand years ago. However—

Alien Empera is now a Sphia life form. He struggled to his feet, and the wound on his waist slowly grew flesh and healed.

"I consider this battle a draw. I used a recovery ability I didn't originally possess. In return, you should switch opponents. I can see that you still have stronger trump cards to use," the Alien Empera said calmly, sheathing his Empera Blade.

Under his gaze, Father of Ultra began to glow with golden light, and then a Möbius strip appeared on his body. In the golden light, Father of Ultra's figure transformed into another Ultra Warrior.

Mebius Infinite Form

Chapter 389 Even within tens of times, there are differences.

“I see. So you did make preparations in advance.” Alien Empera nodded. “Judging from this power, you have a worthy successor, Father of Ultra.”

"Sia!" Infinite Mebius assumed a fighting stance towards Alien Empera.

"Hmph," Alien Empera also assumed a fighting stance.

"He actually didn't act like a wooden stake this time," I said in surprise.

Although Alien Empera didn't stand still during his battle with Father of Ultra, that was a replica of the battle from 40,000 years ago. This is the first time I've ever seen him adopt a fighting stance like this.

"At that time, it must have been because I was taking the brunt of his Rezorim head-on, so he had to take the brunt of my attack as well, which is why he stood still," Mebius's consciousness replied.

"This guy is really something else. No wonder he cursed at me when I went to see him." Tartarus scratched his head.

"Isn't this guy a bit too competitive? The opponent is taking your attacks head-on, so he has to take their attacks to prove himself?" Zero was stunned after hearing this, especially after thinking about how Emperor died because of it, he became even more flustered.

The two sides are now in an extremely fair one-on-one battle. Emperor Alien has the stat boost from Sphia, while Mebius also has the fusion bonus. Therefore, Emperor Alien has no constraints and is showing his true full strength.

The two clashed instantly, their fists and feet striking and defending each other at an extremely fast speed. Emperor Alien's fighting skills were unexpectedly strong, but it was also somewhat expected. As an existence completely equal to Father of Ultra at his peak, it would be strange if he were not good at fighting.

Because Ultraman Father and Ultraman Mebius were combined this time, the power of Infinite Mebius was even greater than that of the previous Super Ultraman Father. His powerful punches and kicks forced Alien Empera to concentrate fully on dealing with them.

"It seems that the Land of Light has indeed produced many talented people over the past 40,000 years. This power— ugh!" Alien Empera was distracted by talking and was punched in the chest by Ultra Mebius, who then threw him away with an over-the-shoulder throw.

He used his telekinesis to stabilize his body in mid-air, and then landed smoothly on the ground, temporarily creating distance between them.

"Hahahahahaha!" Alien Empera suddenly laughed loudly, "What a surprise! Besides my nemesis Father of Ultra, I have such an interesting opponent. I really have to thank the Absolutians. This second life is so wonderful!"

"Hmm?" Inside Mebius, everyone looked at Tartarus.

"This...I..." Tartarus took two steps back guiltily: "I really only brought the Dark Armor. I really don't know anything about the Aliens Empera."

“He doesn’t lie, so his resurrection really is your doing.” I Meng glanced at Tartarus.

"Well... alright!" Tartarus could only shrug helplessly.

After a brief standoff, Alien Empera drew his Empera Blade, while Ultra Mebius also drew his lightsaber.

In an instant, the battlefield was filled with flashing swords and shadows. The battle between the two seemed to be a replica of the close-quarters combat between Father of Ultra and Emperor. However, there was a slight difference: Mebius gradually suppressed Emperor in the close-quarters combat.

In several exchanges, Mebius's lightsaber grazed Emperor Alien's body, leaving some minor wounds. Although they were not serious, and even without the ability to regenerate, they were not considered serious injuries, there was no doubt that Infinite Mebius had defeated Emperor Alien in close combat.

After a few minutes of fighting, the two separated again. Alien Empera looked down at his wounds that had just healed, then looked up and said, "Although I would love to fight you until the end of time, the situation is special and time is limited. I have to admit that even if the fight continues, my swordsmanship will not be able to surpass yours."

“This round is your victory.” Alien Empera frankly tossed aside the Empera Blade and said, “Now, your record is one draw and one win. The next round will decide the outcome.”

"?!" Seeing that Alien Empera had so hastily and easily admitted defeat in this round, Gamu inside Mebius had a very ominous feeling.

Since it's called the decisive round, it basically means that the Alien Empera is going to get serious.

"Whoosh!" Alien Empera stretched out his hand toward the sky, and then a blood-red thunderstorm descended from the sky. As Alien Empera was bathed in the thunderstorm, the outline of dark armor gradually appeared on his body.

Then, after a powerful shockwave, Alien Empera, clad in dark armor, appeared.

The shockwave from the transformation alone nearly forced Mebius to retreat, and the enormous difference in strength made everyone's hearts sink.

"As expected, this guy really does have Dark Armor." I wiped away my cold sweat. "If this thing really does provide a multiplier of several dozen times, we're in for a lot of trouble today."

At this moment, everyone's eyes were all on me, as if to say, "I know you still have work to do, hurry up and get to it."

"We have no choice but to give it a try." I summoned the Cosmic Needle, and a golden light covered Infinite Mebius's body, then slowly transformed into the Grant Armor on his body.

"Theoretically, this thing can also increase power by dozens of times, and in theory it should be on par with the Dark Armor, but..." I dream spread my hands: "20 times is still dozens of times, 99 times is still dozens of times. Even if the Grant Armor and the Dark Armor have the same performance, I cannot guarantee that our compatibility with the Grant Armor can compete with the compatibility with the Emperor Alien and the Dark Armor."

"That's still much better than nothing." Mebius felt the explosive increase in power within him, as if he could see the hope of victory again.

"This is truly fascinating. I've never encountered such an interesting situation before." Seeing that Mebius had also donned armor, the Alien Empera was not displeased but rather quite excited, which meant that another exhilarating and evenly matched battle was about to begin.

However, when the two sides actually clashed, the situation I had feared still occurred—the difference was tens of times, but there were also differences.

The moment their fists clashed, everyone clearly felt the difference in strength—the Dark Armored Alien Empera's actual stats were approximately three times those of Infinite Mebius.

A three-fold difference is already extremely terrifying. In actual combat, this translates to a simple exchange of punches: Ultra Mebius was forced to take several steps back, almost losing his footing, while Alien Empera remained standing firmly in place.

At this moment, everyone's hearts sank. Even if they were wearing the Grant Armor, they were no match for the Dark Armor Emperor.

In that instant, Mebius suddenly heard a familiar whistling sound—

"We have successfully broken into the golden domain of the Ultra Warriors."

Then, the Phoenix Assault sped in from the distant sky.

Chapter 390 Mebius - Infinite Phoenix Warrior Form

"Human warplanes? Hmph, just toys for their own amusement." The Alien Empera paid no attention to the Phoenix Assault that had suddenly entered.

With the power of the Alien Empera, even if he stood still, there was no weapon on Earth that could penetrate his defenses. In his view, the entry of human fighter jets at this time was merely adding a little noise to the background.

"Hmm—!" Alien Empera raised his hand, and a powerful shockwave forced Infinite Mebius to retreat repeatedly. As the stats of the two began to show a substantial difference, this skill, which was originally ineffective in battles of the same level, began to become quite threatening.

Not to mention, Mebius's heart has already been taken by the Phoenix Assault.

"That's... Phoenix Assault? Why is it...?" When Mebius saw the familiar Phoenix Assault appear on the battlefield, he felt a sense of joy, like reuniting with an old friend and as if time had turned back, but more than that, he was filled with immense worry.

"Leave now! This battle is not something you can interfere with, it's too dangerous!" Mebius transmitted his voice to the Phoenix Assault using Ultra Telekinesis.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If we don't fight because it's dangerous, Earth would have been home to space monsters long ago," Aihara Ryu laughed.

"But that giant's voice sounds quite young. Could he just be a young man?" Izayoi, sitting to the side, couldn't help but gossip.

"Yeah, yeah, I feel like if he turned into a human, he'd be a really handsome and cute young man." Kazama Marina and Amaya Kinomi started whispering to each other.

"Am I the only one who thinks his Titan form is the most captivating?" Teppei Kuze gazed at Ultra Mebius's body with rapt attention. "Truly a beautiful Titan..."

"Hey you guys, get down to business! Even if this is your first time on the battlefield, you need to know where you're going. There's no room for idle chatter here!" Aihara Ryu reprimanded him sternly.

"Yes, sir!" The men immediately sat up straight, behaving like professionals.

Although they seemed to be chatting casually, from the moment they set off until now, they had not slacked off on their work. They each operated the instruments in front of them, starting and charging the Maggs particle generator. The concentration of Maggs particles displayed on the screen began to rise sharply and would soon reach the charging standard.

"That guy's situation isn't good." Aihara Ryu stared intently at the distant battlefield; Infinite Mebius was clearly in grave danger.

Just moments ago, the two sides were evenly matched in close combat, with Ultra Mebius even managing to gain the upper hand against Alien Empera. However, once Alien Empera donned the Dark Armor, the situation instantly reversed.

Regardless of the numerical improvement, after donning the Dark Armor, the Alien Empera even upgraded his weapon, changing it from the Empera Blade from 40,000 years ago to the Dark Armor's built-in sword—Dark Pattern Cloth.

This weapon can be considered an upgraded version of the Blade of Emperor, with a leap forward in both sharpness and other performance aspects.

In fact, when the Phoenix Warrior fought the Dark Armor, it was because he obtained the Dark Pattern Cloth that he was able to easily break through the Dark Armor's defenses. The sharpness of this weapon was so great that even the Dark Armor couldn't withstand it.

Although Mebius managed to draw his lightsaber and retaliate in time, the difference in weapon performance and user stats between the two was too great. After only a few rounds, the lightsaber in Mebius's hand broke during the clash with the Darkweave Cloth.

Fortunately, Alien Empera did not continue to hack and slash with the Dark Cloth. After Mebius's lightsaber broke, he acquiesced to his victory in this melee combat, put away the Dark Cloth, and began to fight Mebius hand-to-hand.

The melee combat was actually more difficult. Even when Infinite Mebius used his cutting techniques, he could hardly break through Emperor Alien's defense. On the contrary, Emperor Alien's punches and kicks were already too much for Infinite Mebius to bear.

"Hey, Teppei, is the Magus particle charging ready? That giant is about to collapse!" Aihara Ryu urged his team members anxiously.

"It'll be ready soon!" Zheping stared intently at the screen, his forehead beaded with cold sweat from tension.

"Damn it... I can't wait any longer, I have to support him now, otherwise if that giant falls, it will be too late to recharge!" Aihara Ryu, seeing Mebius in dire straits, decisively gave the order: "Giants Cannon, prepare!"

"Captain, this is too reckless!" Kazama Marina advised.

"Adaptability is a fundamental quality of a defense team member. Our first principle is always to choose the optimal solution to protect the Earth!" Aihara Ryu pressed the fire button on the Magus Cannon.

Then, a burst of golden energy erupted from the cannon, striking Alien Empera directly in the back of the neck. This attack momentarily distracted him, allowing Mebius to dodge the Rezolim Ray he had fired.

"Hmm?" The Alien Empera turned his head with a hint of surprise and looked at the Phoenix Assault.

He wasn't angry, but rather surprised that these Earthlings actually dared to make a move.
