Moonlight team, are you awake?

And Jianwu has been fighting in this timeline until now, until he finally met my dream.

Upon seeing Gaia suddenly appear in the sky, Kengo, whose timer was flashing wildly, couldn't help but shout, "Mr. I dream..." before collapsing to the ground with a thud. His body dissipated into light particles as he fell, while Kengo himself appeared on the ground in his human form.

"Holy crap, Sword Enlightenment!"

Seeing this in my dream, I quickly came to the ground and returned to my human form, helping the fallen Kengo to his feet.

Judging from Jian Wu's current state, he must have been under a lot of pressure recently. He looks disheveled and has many new and old injuries, probably because he has to fight again before he can recover.

"Sword Enlightenment, how are you feeling?"

I used Gaia's Healing Technique to repair Jian Wu's wounds and also restored some of his energy.

After receiving Gaia's healing treatment, Kengo quickly woke up. Seeing that it was indeed Imu standing in front of him, he weakly forced a smile at Imu: "Mr. Imu, it's really unexpected to see you again."

"Were you thrown here by that monster?" I asked.

"If you're talking about that monster covered in golden armor, then it must be."

Jianwu tried to get up, and a lot of scabs fell off his newly healed wound, revealing the skin that had just grown back underneath.

He briefly recounted his previous experiences to me in my dream:

After he was sent back to Earth, he had just recovered some of his strength and was preparing to go back to continue the battle when Earth's magnetic field began to violently malfunction. Goldras's spacetime dimension continued to extend across Earth. Sensing the anomaly, Kengo immediately transformed into Triga, found Goldras at the location where the magnetic field had expanded, and began to fight it.

However, there was an insurmountable gap in strength between the Great King-level Goldras and Jian Wu at that time. Goldras was too lazy to fight this little guy who was not even a Lesser King-level. With a wave of his hand, he casually banished Jian Wu to a certain timeline.

Kenjiro himself couldn't cross the timeline to return to his original world, and he didn't even have time to think about how to get back—this world also needed the help of the Ultra Warriors.

The timing of Jianwu's landing was similar to when I first arrived in Meng. Earth's two Ultras had just been killed by Neo Gaigared on Black Tide Island, and Earth was in a state of being unprotected.

Faced with the Neogagared rampaging through the city, Kenji did not hesitate and immediately engaged it in battle.

With his Eternal Radiance and Truth Form, Sword Enlightenment defeated Neo Gagared without any doubt.

However, this was only the beginning.

Because Jian Wu displayed too much strength from the very beginning, Ye Fu and the Destruction Summoning Entity immediately took notice of him and subsequently increased the difficulty of the dungeon significantly to match Jian Wu's combat power.

As a result, Kengo encountered battles that were more intense and frequent than those he had encountered in his dream.

In the beginning, because I only had one V1 Gaia in a severely weakened state available, neither Sphia nor the Destruction Summoner had any intention of killing him. Although the enemies they sent out were still abnormally strong, they were ultimately maintained at a level that allowed the weakened V1 to have a chance of winning.

Jian Wu was different. He immediately faced Bazangar and easily defeated him. He then experienced the unique numerical beauty of the Sfia life form—the Sfia sphere revived Bazangar, which had been blown to pieces, and raised its stats to nearly K level in one go.

A monster that could have been killed with a low-health V1 weapon suddenly becomes almost K-level, a truly astonishing leap in power.

Following that, Gob and Sfia Gob attacked quickly, followed by Apate, Sfia Mos Aja, Sfia Enmago, Aljulos, Mechatriga, Giant Zakira, Super Gob and other monsters that attacked one after another.

As a new generation warrior, Kenjiro's human form has outstanding durability and recovery speed, which makes the training intensity of Sphia and the Destruction Summoning Body even more insane.

In just 20 days, Jianwu had already reached the top of the K-level stats, even approaching the level of a minor king, with his stats reaching the level of Sfia Neojomos.

Even though his strength had greatly improved during this period, not everyone could withstand the hellish training of Ye Fu and the Destruction Summoning Body. When fighting the later monsters, Jian Wu could only resort to desperate measures to forcibly take them down, which caused his condition to deteriorate rapidly.

If my dream had come a little later, I probably would have been able to eat at Jianwu's table in the next battle.

When Jianwu recounted his experiences to me, Meng, even I felt ashamed. I never imagined that Jianwu would become like General Te, a popular internet meme, after coming to me.

In the popular meme, he experienced 48 hours of hell; here, it's 480 hours of hell—a super-double.

After recounting his experiences, Kengo looked at Gamu and asked, "Were these enemies all ones that Mr. Gamu defeated before?"

"I have indeed defeated them, but the individuals I faced back then were not as strong as those here."

“But Mr. Meng didn’t have the same conditions as me back then, did he?” Jian Wu asked with a smile. “I heard Zero say that in the beginning, Mr. Meng’s condition was so bad that he would disintegrate after using a single ultimate move. It’s really remarkable that he has been able to keep fighting until now.”

"Everyone has their own difficulties," I said, patting his shoulder reassuringly.

“Furthermore, I have another question.” Jianwu suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Womeng. “Mr. Womeng, are you from another world?”

A chill ran through me: "What do you mean by 'other worlds'...?"

"It's like... for example, the story of Ultraman is just a world like that of a TV program."

Jianwu's words startled Mengxin; he hadn't expected Jianwu to be able to guess this.

As if afraid that I might misunderstand, Kengo quickly explained, "When I was fighting in my own world before, I met a strange alien who called himself Chariga. He told me a lot of interesting things, including the fact that in some worlds, Ultraman is just a TV program."

“Chariga… What a nostalgic name.” I almost forgot about this alien myself. Ever since he left that line, “Ultraman, until we meet again,” in the Ultraman Tiga TV series, he has never appeared in any subsequent TV series or theatrical versions.

If it were Chariga, it wouldn't be surprising that it knew these things, since it should have also been to the world of the Great Dimensional War.

I never expected that Jianwu had actually met Charliega. This made me feel a little emotional. Charliega actually traveled all the way from the world of Tiga to the world of Triga.

"That's why Mr. Meng knows each and every one of us," Jianwu said, pointing to himself.

"Yes."

I had nothing to hide from my dream, so I nodded frankly.

After receiving confirmation from my dream, Kengo asked him with great curiosity, "Then, what kind of work is it that features me? Am I... a good story?"

"Uh..." I didn't know how to answer for a moment.

However, hesitation was the best answer. Jianwu had already guessed what was going on when he saw Wumeng's expression. A hint of regret flashed across his face, but he immediately put on a smile again.

"It's okay. Although it hasn't become a very exciting story yet, I will keep working hard until I create a character that everyone will remember!"

Chapter 415 Zero: "I've already told you I'm not Agamus!"

Jian Wu's record on Earth over the past 20 days has been nothing short of spectacular. From the initial Sphia Bazanga to the Neo Jomos that he just defeated, he has taken down more than a dozen K-class monsters, ranging from weak to strong.

Furthermore, during this process, Earth and humanity suffered almost no damage. While this was partly due to the fact that Specia and the Destruction Bringer dared not truly destroy Earth, Kengo's control of the battlefield was indeed excellent, almost always deliberately leading the battle to the place with the least loss.

Jianwu was about to collapse, but the arrival of my dream completely revived him.

After fully recovering, Sword Wuguang's composite form already reached a level comparable to K-class. If he uses Eternal Shining and Truth Form, he will not be afraid of opponents like Softia Iron Block, who are invincible below the Lesser King level.

More importantly, Jianwu has a unique advantage over others.

"If I can return to my world in this state, I will definitely be able to withstand more of the Eternal Core Energy!" Jian Wu carefully felt the power flowing within his body.

The Eternal Core possesses energy capable of destroying an entire universe, and Jian Wu is one of the few vessels capable of bearing this power. Previously, the energy he could hold was at most enough to support him to barely reach the K level, meaning that his main body plus the energy of the Eternal Core he could withstand barely reached the K level.

Currently, Jianwu's true form is at the K level. If he can absorb the energy of the Eternal Core again, he might have a chance to reach the level of a minor king in his ultimate form.

This is an incredibly incredible leap in strength. Normally, a single Ultra Warrior's strength is considered to have reached its conventional limit once it reaches the K-level. To break through to the level of the King, such as Super Taro or Infinite Mebius, it can only be achieved through fusion or by receiving the blessing of the light in someone's heart.

Because Jianwu is backed by the Eternal Core, a repository of energy at least at the Great King level, he can achieve the effect of stepping on his own foot with his left.

Absorb the Eternal Core to become stronger, then face even stronger enemies, grow stronger in extremely intense battles, greatly enhance the power of the main body, thus being able to withstand more Eternal Core energy, become even stronger, and then continue to repeat the previous steps.

Before fully absorbing all the energy of the Eternal Core, this strategy of stepping on one foot with the other can be used almost indefinitely—provided, of course, that it doesn't back down and get killed along the way.

This kind of approach only works in this world, because in the normal Ultraman universe, K-class monsters are already extremely rare, let alone monsters above K-class. It's also difficult to see opponents of this level in the theatrical version.

Only here can you see the explosive scene of unlimited supply of K-class and King-class monsters, and the King-class is a level that can only be born in this environment.

In the normal Ultraman universe, K-class to King-class are basically the level of "ultimate warriors". Those within this strength range are collectively referred to as "ultimate Ultramen". Generally speaking, ultimate warriors can solve almost all problems.

If even the ultimate warrior can't handle it, then the next one to appear will be the legendary warrior.

The Ultraman universe is full of legendary warriors. Whether it's the King of Ultra who has been secretly watching the world, or Noah who hunts down alien beasts all over the world, or Shining Tiga who makes a brief appearance in a rare situation, legendary warriors will always appear when the most critical situation occurs.

In contrast, this universe is almost devoid of legendary beings, while ultimate warriors are everywhere. As a result, a group of ultimate warriors have created the "King-level" category by competing between the ultimate and legendary ranks.

Essentially, the Grandmaster-level warriors occupy a relatively middle position in the insurmountable gap between Ultimate and Legendary warriors. They are drastically stronger than Ultimate-level warriors, but in the face of Legendary-level warriors, they are still equal.

Ultimate warriors possess the power to conquer and rule the entire universe, while king-level warriors can easily destroy or save the entire universe.

For example, the Impak bomb that Belial used had an explosive power of over King level. It almost destroyed the entire universe with a single blow. Therefore, none of the Ultras from the Land of Light present could deal with it. Although they were unwilling, they could only watch helplessly. In the end, it was the legendary King of Ultra who took action and resolved the situation.

Solving the Impact Bomb would be a piece of cake for a legendary-level Ultraman, but no one understands just how strong a legendary-level Ultraman really is. They mistakenly believe that the King of Ultra almost lost his life just by saving the Impact Bomb. In reality, he was not only unharmed, but he even had the energy to deliver the baby. His so-called disappearance was simply an opportunity to go behind the scenes.

If there had been a King-level Ultraman on the scene, like Illusion, then everyone would have witnessed the explosive scene of Impaker's bomb being reversed with one hand.

The reason why there are no Ultra Kings in the Land of Light universe is not because everyone lacks potential or strength, but simply because enemies that are too strong would be directly defeated by legendary warriors, and the environment simply does not require everyone to become that strong.

After arriving at this hellish battlefield, everyone's strength improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. For example, Triga now has a K-level strength in his composite form alone. After returning to his own universe, in his prime, he could almost kill all the enemies he had encountered before with one hand.

After learning about Jianwu's current situation, I Dream took him away without saying a word, intending to have Zero send him back to his own universe so he could absorb another wave of Eternal Cores to evolve.

As for this place, I have the Goldraska in my hands. He can wait for Kengo to return and then send him back to the moment he left. To the people in this timeline, it would be as if he had never left.

When Jianwu and I returned to the original timeline together, he felt a great sense of relief.

Although the enemies here are stronger, much stronger, so much stronger that I don't even know how to deal with them, I have everyone, including my dream, supporting each other in this battle.

For Ultra Warriors, as long as they have partners who support and encourage each other, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they are not to be feared.

What's truly terrifying is carrying the entire battle alone, with the safety of the whole world resting on your shoulders. If you fall, there will be no one to take up the baton and continue the fight. Your fall means the end of everything.

That immense pressure was one of the reasons why Kengo eventually became physically and mentally exhausted.

Even though the enemy's strength has doubled since he returned here, his reliable companions are still here. Even if he falls, Kengo is absolutely confident that his other companions will take over everything he has to carry and continue the fight.

"Phew~" Jian Wu stretched as if he had breathed in fresh air after a long time.

Then, he looked at me and said, "I finally understand why Mr. Zero spoke of you with such high regard and trust when he came to see me."

The thought of having someone by their side who could always come up with a solution, always turn the tide, and whom they could trust no matter what happened filled even the Ultra Warriors with a strong sense of security.

"Hey—!" As the two were talking, Zero and his group flew over from not far away.

"What just happened? We only felt a blur before our eyes, and then everything seemed to return to normal," Zero asked curiously.

“Our time was frozen. In fact, a long time has passed in this frozen time. It was Gaia who came up with a way to defeat that enemy,” said Galaxy Lugiel, the only one who still retained the ability to perceive the outside world.

"A long time has passed since time stopped... I don't understand." Zeta, the underachiever, was completely bewildered.

"You wouldn't listen attentively in class, so go back and catch up on your studies!" Zero flicked Zeta's forehead.

"Huh? Master, can you understand me?" Zeta winced in pain, clutching his head, and then delivered a critical hit to Zero.

“You’ll definitely understand.” Dekai suddenly looked at Zero with sincere eyes. “Agamus is very knowledgeable!”

Upon hearing this, I managed to suppress a laugh.

Zero, who had just been momentarily moved by Dekai's belief in him, immediately frowned: "I've already told you I'm not Agamus!"

Chapter 416 Leo: Leave Dark Seven to me!

I dreamt that Zero would first send Kenjiro back to his own universe so that he could absorb the energy of the Eternal Core again and thus increase his power.

Afterwards, I told everyone about the special training plan I had come up with earlier.

Unsurprisingly, the plan was approved unanimously, because everyone who had come here had deeply felt the enormous gap in individual strength between them and the enemy.

Although it is possible to bring strength back to a level that can be contended by relying on methods such as fusion, the power after fusion is also affected by the materials. If everyone's strength does not improve fast enough, then it will not be long before a situation arises where even fusion cannot defeat the opponent.

One major drawback of fusion is that the battles that occur after fusion do not significantly improve the quality of the synthesized materials. This is because they are not using their original bodies and powers, so they cannot adapt to the power as quickly as they would when fighting alone, and thus break through their limits.

In fact, the battles of the past few days have gradually revealed this problem. It started with Super Taro, then Super Father of Ultra, and even Infinite Mebius. The frequency of fusion is getting more and more frequent, and the strength of the fused Ultra required for each battle is also constantly increasing.

In today's battle, if it weren't for the coincidence of the three Cosmic Needles resonating, the new generation of Ultras would probably have been forced to combine into Reiga by Hyper Five Emperors in order to win.

Once you combine with Linga once, the opponent will quickly adapt to this strength and then send out an opponent who can match Linga, or even surpass Linga—at that time, what should you use to deal with it?

Everyone understood this, so even though they realized that they might be facing a hellish battle, no one backed down.

Before setting off for special training, Galaxy Lugiel specifically returned the Strium Bracelet that the Ultra Brothers had given him to Gamu, because after so much time, the Ultra Brothers should have recovered, and it was time to return their power to them and let them join the special training as well.

The training team was very large. Kenjiro needed time to absorb the power of the Eternal Core, so he couldn't come back for the time being. In order not to waste time, Zero sent back the Heisei Ultras who had recovered from their injuries in the Land of Light.

Out of caution, I didn't have everyone fight alone like Jianwu did, but rather in pairs, since this dungeon is actually meant to be played by two people.

After the Ultra Brothers arrived, Imu briefly divided everyone into groups.

Most of the groups were simply two people per group, but some of them had a touch of... the audience's morbid humor.

For example, Seven and Leo are in one group, and Zero and Dekay are in another group.

There's nothing inherently wrong with this grouping, but the thought of these two groups having to fight the Hell dungeon together makes me, for some reason, feel like I can't help but laugh.

Zero and Deckard, survivors of a fierce battle, exchange a knowing smile.

While I was actively preparing for battle, Sphia had also completed the information reading of the dark assassin she had just captured.

The information carried by the Dark Killer not only allowed Sphia to better understand things in other universes, but more importantly, it gave Sphia data on almost all the Ultra Warriors.

Before the Dark Assassin arrived here, he had already plundered a considerable number of Ultra Medals from the Land of Light. These medals contained data on many Ultra Warriors, covering almost all of the Ultra Brothers, the Heisei Ultras, and the New Generation Ultras.

Unfortunately, these people had all fought against Sphia before, or had already obtained data from the Dark Assassins about their previous encounters.
