Moonlight team, are you awake?

Led by Ginga, followed by Victory, X, Orb, Geed, Rosso, Blu, Grigio, Taiga, Zeta, Triga, and Dekaiser, a total of 12 new generation warriors arrived at my dream's side.

Out of a desire to keep a low profile, they all gathered in my dream house in human form, instantly filling the already cramped house with people.

Zero, in his human form, pointed to a group of people behind him and said to Memoir, "Let me introduce them to you. They are..."

"No need for introductions, I know them all well." I smiled knowingly.

"Huh? You even know them?" Zero scratched his head. It was understandable that Gaia knew Tiga and the others before. After all, as Gaia, it seemed reasonable for him to know Tiga and the others. In many universes, they would know each other for various reasons.

But he even knows the human forms of the new generation of warriors?

"No need to mention Hikaru and Sho, we've talked about them many times before. This is Daichi Ozora, a member of XIO. This is Gai Kurenai, the wanderer under the setting sun. This is Takashi... cough cough, Riku Asakura, who loves watching Flashman. I only need to say 'Falcon One' to say these guys, and I believe everything will be understood. This is Yuuki... is this a mimic?" Imu stepped forward and examined Taiga's human form.

Taiga nodded: "This is the form of a partner who fought alongside us before. When a human host is needed, I will mimic his appearance."

I shrugged helplessly, then looked at Zeta: "Is this Haruki you? Let me make this clear beforehand, if you don't bring Haruki here, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the intensity here."

"Huh? Is there anything special about me?" Haruki pointed at himself in surprise.

"That's the importance of a driver." My dream's words left Zeta and Haruki staring at each other, completely baffled.

When I walked up to Kengo, I extended my hand and shook his: "It's an honor to meet you."

When he walked up to Kanade, Gamu suddenly had a mischievous idea. He turned to Zero with a wicked grin and said, "Zero, do you still remember Arashi?"

"I remember, what's wrong?" Zero looked puzzled. "I even went back to see them a few times before. Are you referring to the fact that his younger brother looks a lot like Xiao Lu?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. You'll know when you become like Lan."

"Huh?" Zero was puzzled, but he still obediently transformed into Lan's appearance.

The instant Zero transformed into Storm, Kanade reflexively pointed at him and shouted, "Ah! Agamus, it's you! How did you become Zero's human form?"

Zero looked around blankly, finally fixing his gaze on Imon: "Who is Agamus?"

"Zou-da... um, old nemesis, huh?" As soon as I saw Zou-da and "Agamus"'s faces, I couldn't help but think of that timeless classic.

To avoid laughing out loud, I solemnly summoned Absolut Tartarus, the warrior of the ultimate life form Absolut.

"I don't know if Zero has explained this to you, but we are now in a cooperative relationship with the Absolut clan. Their Absolut power can greatly enhance the strength of the Ultra race. So next, I will have Tartarus distribute the Absolut power to everyone."

After hearing what I dreamt about, the new generation of warriors were in an uproar: "What? They've partnered with the Absolut tribe? We've only been gone a few days, what happened?"

"I just got beaten up by this guy not long ago!"

Can we really trust him?

The crowd began to discuss among themselves, until Zero stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, this guy is surprisingly reliable. Speaking of which, the power of Absolute is really quite useful."

"Hey you, do you think I'm a wholesaler of Absolut Power?" Tartarus's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "Even I couldn't handle distributing Absolut Power to so many people at once."

I Dream affectionately put my arm around Tartarus's shoulder and said, "How will you know if you don't try? Constantly challenging yourself is the way a warrior becomes stronger!"

“You’re even more cunning.” Tartarus glanced at him. “Although I understand it’s the right choice, being with you always feels like being on a pirate ship.”

"That's not right. How can you call this a pirate ship? This is clearly a galactic battleship heading towards a bright future." I wasn't embarrassed at all. "How romantic is it to protect the Earth with me for a lifetime?"

“…Tch,” Tartarus turned his face away indignantly.

Although reluctant, Tartarus had no choice but to step forward and begin channeling Absolut's power into the transformation devices extended by the New Generation members.

As streams of Absolute power were injected into the transformation devices, everyone's devices began to glow with a faint golden light, proof that the power of Absolute was taking effect.

"As for the precautions here, Zero should have already told you everything that needs to be said. As for the practical aspects, you'll all know once you've had a match." I've experienced this many times before: people can't teach you what to do, but you can learn it quickly by being taught how to do it.

Before being tortured: "Huh? What's this 'finishing blow'? I don't know. Isn't it just about beating the opponent to a pulp?"

After being tortured: "Sniff... Hmm... There's still a faint smell of that guy in the soil. Let's burn him again with the light!"

At this moment, the new generation of athletes still had expressions like they were at a festival gathering, chatting and laughing with each other, probably feeling that with so many people gathered together, there was no difficulty that could not be overcome.

That's the truth, but the process...

As everyone was chatting and laughing, creating a joyful atmosphere, Guang in the auditorium suddenly looked in a certain direction outside as if he had a premonition.

Noticing the change in Hikaru's expression, Imu seemed to realize something as well, and slowly walked up to him: "That guy is here?"

"Yes, I can feel him... but he didn't declare war directly in his gigantic form. What is he trying to do?" Hikaru Raido asked, puzzled. At this moment, he was not only Hikaru Raido, but also the expression of the will of the galaxy.

“I’ll go with you to see. Maybe, like Alien Empera, Lugiel has something he wants to say to you.”

"it is good"

The two left the room unnoticed. Following the direction of the Milky Way's senses, they hadn't gone far when they saw Lugiel sitting on a street bench in his human form, watching the children clapping and singing.

At that moment, he truly looked like a quiet and amiable middle-aged man, while several children beside him clapped and sang a nursery rhyme: "The fish are searching for the sea, the flowers are searching for spring, we travel through the time tunnel to find the secret to happiness..."

As the children sang, he responded to the rhythm, closing his eyes and swaying his head.

Sensing Yinhe's arrival, he simply sat down calmly to the side, making room on the bench for Yinhe to sit down.

Chapter 396 Prison Dream: You mean I'm having a great time?

Yinhe was not intimidated and sat down very naturally at the other end of the bench. The two of them sat at opposite ends of the bench, maintaining a subtle sense of distance.

"How long has it been since we sat down and chatted like this?" Lugiel asked casually, crossing his legs as if greeting an old friend.

“It probably started when you decided to separate from me to carry out your so-called ‘Universal Eternal Happiness’ plan,” Yinhe replied calmly.

“That’s quite a long time.” Lugiel shrugged. “How many years have passed since then? A thousand years? Ten thousand years? Or even longer?”

“Who can remember clearly?” Yinhe leaned back on the bench, looking up at the sky. “It’s been so long that I’ve almost forgotten that we were originally one person.”

"I've almost forgotten that when I was risking my life against you in Falling Star Town, I always thought of you as just an Ultra Warrior who disagreed with my ideas."

Yinhe glanced at him sideways: "You still have the nerve to mention Jiangxing Town? You keep saying that you want to use your ideas to lock life in lasting happiness, but I haven't seen you bring any happiness to the people of Jiangxing Town."

"That's only because I was defeated right after I was resurrected." Lugiel wasn't embarrassed at all. "If I had defeated you back then, I would have frozen them with the Dark Spark after returning to Earth. They would have lived forever in their happiest moment."

"Excuse me, may I ask a question? What exactly is the bliss of being frozen in place by the Dark Spark?" I suddenly raised my hand and asked. "Does being frozen in place by the Dark Spark still grant consciousness? If not, what's the difference between that and being killed on the spot?"

"Of course it's not that simple. If it were just about turning people into mindless puppets, that would be a gross underestimation of Dark Spark."

Lugiel pointed to a few passersby not far away and said, "Let's take them as an example. If we freeze them with the Dark Spark now, their thoughts and spirits will be locked in the happiest time so far."

"If he feels that his time in elementary school was the happiest, then in a frozen world, he will continue that time forever and without limit. He will never grow up, his parents will never grow old, his friends will never be separated, and he will continue this life day after day without end, without realizing that there is anything wrong with his life."

"If a person feels that the carefree time after graduation is the happiest time, then he will stay in this state forever. He doesn't have to worry about whether he needs to find a job tomorrow, or about his pocket money tomorrow. His parents will always be waiting for him at home. He can go wherever he wants and live the life he wants forever."

"In the eternal stillness, no sorrow or pain will occur. Even if there are some unpleasant things, they will only remain as a seasoning in life. No one will be hurt, and no one will have to painfully do things they don't want to do. What's wrong with such a life? Every life will be happy, and no one will have to face the painful reality."

Lugiel launched into a long, rambling speech, and I couldn't help but mutter, "Holy crap, another one playing with Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"What is that?" Lugiel asked, puzzled.

"It's similar to your plan. Basically, you use a giant moon to cast an illusion on everyone, then hang them from trees. People under the illusion will live their ideal life in their dreams and then be turned into weapons. It's quite similar to yours."

"That sounds interesting, so did that person succeed?" Lugiel asked with great interest.

"Failed."

“Oh, then the person who stops him must be the most powerful and influential person in the world, or someone who eventually becomes that person.” Lugiel stroked his chin. “Besides that kind of person, I can’t think of anyone else who would have such a strong motivation to stop something like this.”

"Here we go again." Yinhe sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "Refusing to have one's life dictated by others—how come this guy always manages to read something sinister into something so simple?"

"How is it sinister?" Lugiel was indignant, then he turned to look at Imu: "Tell me, am I right? Don't those who stop him end up becoming the most powerful and influential people?"

"Uh... if you put it that way, it seems fine." Imeng scratched her head.

“Look, look, is there a problem with what I said?” Lugiel turned around, his head resting on Galaxy’s, and retorted with great force: “This is not insidious, this is the truth.”

"That's just because it's difficult to defeat the strongest villain without the strongest power." Yinhe unleashed a Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger at him, then didn't forget to ask Meng for confirmation: "That villain is definitely the strongest in the world, right?"

"Pretty much." I was already a little embarrassed.

"Look, you only selectively read content. It's clearly a story of a hero defeating a villain, but you can still read conspiracy theories into it." Yinhe's imposing aura returned.

"Hmph, that's why I said you're standing too high. You don't understand those who are truly humble. Those who are powerful and strong certainly don't want others to arrange their lives for them, because they are already living happy lives. However, suffering is the life of most people. Making the majority continue to suffer for the sake of one's own happiness is tyranny!"

"You're the one who's taking it upon yourself to control other people's lives, imposing your own idea of ​​happiness on them without their consent. That's why I have to stop you!" As Yinhe spoke, he pulled out the Yinhe Spark. Seeing this, Lugiel also took out the Dark Spark, and it looked like the two of them were about to start fighting right there in the street.

At this moment, I stood between the two of them and made a stop gesture: "Hey you two, weren't you going to chat at the beginning? How come you're starting to draw your swords and start slashing at each other after only a few words? Are you both berserkers?"

"Hmph, this is just the inevitable result of communicating with him," Galaxy and Lugiel said in unison.

“What you both say makes a lot of sense, but I have a question.” Imu walked over to Lugiel, put his arm around his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, “We can take down the whole world by ourselves, but haven’t you thought about this one thing?”

"what is the problem?"

"Have you ever considered that most of life's suffering isn't natural, just as shackles aren't something slaves are born with?" I gestured with my hands. "Slave life is bitter, so wanting a slave like me to stay in the world before I became a slave sounds kind, but have you ever thought that we could also..."

In my dream, I made a rope-tightening motion: "How about we get rid of those guys who bring pain to everyone?"

“If disease brings suffering, we will conquer disease; if death brings suffering, we will study how to prolong life; if someone is exploiting us, we will lead the exploited to fight against him; if someone wants to kill us, we will kill him first.”

Before Lugiel could answer, I Meng said first, "I know you want to say that this is too idealistic. Diseases can't be conquered just like that, and bad people can't be eliminated just like that. It's very difficult for ordinary people. Most of the time, ordinary people really can't do anything. When I say this, I'm no different from Yinhe. It's easy for me to talk when I'm not in the same boat as ordinary people. I don't understand the lives of ordinary people at all."

Lugiel nodded.

At that moment, my dream's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he unleashed a Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger at Lugiel: "But are you an ordinary person?"

"You, me, the Milky Way, are we ordinary people? We possess earth-shattering power, we can do many things with ease. Are we going to hold the power to reshape the world with a wave of our hand, while shouting 'Oh, we ordinary people can't do this,' and then choose to run away?"

"We're not even afraid of stellar explosions, so how could a little problem on Earth possibly stump us?"

"Superhumans do not inherently have an obligation to save humanity, but your slogan is 'making life happy.' If it's turned out like this, I can only conclude that you're either not smart enough or your slogan is fake. You're just using a high-sounding slogan to realize your own personal ideals."

"There are some things, some enemies, that are indeed difficult for ordinary people to defeat, but we are not ordinary people. We have such great power, why don't we do something about it?"

"If we can comfortably refrain from doing things that ordinary people can't do, calling it 'putting ourselves in the shoes of ordinary people,' then what's the point of having people with superpowers? To perform? Or are we supposed to put on a compassionate attitude while using our superpowers to gain fame and profit, so that we reap all the benefits and fame while ordinary people continue to suffer?"

"If I have the ability to fight, I will protect others from being harmed by the savages. If I had the ability to conjure up white rice out of thin air, I would let everyone on Earth eat to their heart's content. If I had the ability to instantly search the internet, I would definitely automatically attach a link to every erotic picture."

"You're a genius who can physically traverse the universe and travel from the future to the past. After all these years of hard work, you're telling me that you've improved the lives of zero people so far? Are you fucking kidding me?"

Faced with Gamu's barrage of attacks, Lugiel froze for a few seconds before stubbornly retorting, "You're just like that character in the story, because you possess the strongest power, you don't want anyone to change you..."

"You mean I'm having a great time?" I dreamed and walked right up to Lugiel, glaring at him. "You fucking merged with Sphia, right? Come on, read Sphia's database now, and then tell me, I'm having a great time, is that it?"

“…” Lugiel had indeed read it, and the images he saw in the database were all—

He's been blasted away, whipped around like a top, knocked out of the light in one hit, and disintegrated in various fancy ways after battle. So far, this guy doesn't seem to have managed to fly away more than a few times. So when this guy questions him, Lugiel is indeed having a hard time answering. After all, this life doesn't seem to have anything to do with being cool.

Unless he enjoys fighting

Besides, Gamu's words, "After all these years of fussing, you've only improved the lives of zero people," left Lugiel speechless. Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife. Gamu's words broke Lugiel's defenses.

"All you do all day is sweep around with your broken Dark Spark, and when you hit someone, you say, 'Oh, I saved this person's life.' You don't care about or solve their problems at all. You just use illusions and that's it, right? You brainwash people so they forget all the bad things, which means only the good things remain. So you're the philanthropist, you're the MVP, you've brainwashed everyone, you're the kindest person, is that your logic?"

"What if your partner is separated and can never get back together? I don't know, I don't care. Just dream about him. What if your loved one is afflicted with illness? Just dream about him. It doesn't matter if he dies in reality, but you'll still be happy when you see him in your dreams, and he'll be happy too, because he's also been swept away by me. As long as everyone is swept away by me, they'll have a bright future, right?"

"What if you're bullied at school? It's okay, let me scan this, and both you and the bully will be happy. What if someone stabs your loved one to death? It's okay, let me scan this, and you'll be happy, and the murderer will be happy too. As for your loved one, they might not be happy, because they're dead and can't be scanned."

"Do you think your broken Dark Spark is a happiness wholesale machine? Just scan it, and hey, everyone in the world is happy."

"So the happiest world is an empty universe with countless spark dolls floating around, and the happiness index is off the charts, right?"

At this point in Gamu's speech, Lugiel was unable to respond. Besides not being able to think of a logical rebuttal, the biggest reason was that Gamu was too rude. Lugiel had never imagined that people could speak so vulgarly and aggressively.

Chapter 397 Let's Protect Earth for a Lifetime

“But can all the problems really be solved? Is it really possible to establish an ideal kingdom? And how can you guarantee that the world you envision is not just a castle in the air?” Lugiel countered.

I laughed in my dream: "Lucier, why don't you use your stupid brain to recall where you got the Dark Spark from?"

"Nature is the Land of Light."

"Have you ever used your brain to think that the Land of Light has already succeeded? Before the collective ascension, the Land of Light was already a utopian society. They were able to solve almost all problems while everyone retained their self-awareness and life continued to reproduce and develop, allowing more than 10 billion people in the Land of Light to live well. They could even solve the problem of the sun exploding. Do you still think your plan is good?"

"........."

"Now I want to ask you, you swept everyone away with a dark spark, and then declared that they would live in their happiest moment. What about the infants who don't yet have self-awareness? Are they to repeat the same cycle of birth or nursing indefinitely? What about criminals who committed serious crimes? Are they to skip punishment and be rewarded with a happy life? What about people with dark and twisted hearts? Are they to enjoy taking revenge on society in their own world? What about teenagers who still have so much good time ahead of them? The best years of their lives have just begun, and you've turned them into puppets. Did you give them happiness or destroy their happiness? Before a person has experienced their own life, do they really understand what they want?"

Lugiel took two steps back, a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he shook his head painfully. "What you said makes sense, but my intuition still tells me that my plan is not entirely unfeasible, and that someone will support me."

“Nonsense, if I said I wanted to create a world where everyone eats poop every day, I’m sure there would be people out of billions of people who would agree.” I looked at him coldly: “There are all kinds of people in the world, and your plan will certainly bring happiness to many people. I do not deny that many people have indeed lost hope in their lives, and they do need your plan for their final salvation.”

"But haven't you realized it yet? The real problem with your plan is that you want to forcibly and disregard the wishes of others, drag everyone into the happy world you envision."

"Any solution that forcibly determines how others live their lives is never a good solution."

Lugiel was clearly somewhat persuaded, but what Imu had said so far was not enough to make him completely agree: "I agree with some of what you said, but, for powerful superhumans like you and me, whether we support humanity openly or secretly, due to the overwhelming power disparity, it will inevitably lead to a situation similar to a 'Holy King's dictatorship.' Will that really bring good results?"

“We just need to protect humanity from being destroyed by external forces, and humanity will find its own way back to the right path.” I shrugged. “If you have studied human history, you will find that although it is always said that history is a spiral upward, humanity is indeed constantly improving itself. The Land of Light has seen this, which is why it has been protecting humanity one after another, so that humanity can also become the next Land of Light, the next Utopia.”
