Moonlight team, are you awake?

The one free use I finally managed to get from the Baltan aliens is now going to be wasted.

At this moment, my group of friends and I stood there, feeling a sense of bewilderment we had never experienced before.

Silence, silence is Mexico City tonight.

Who am I? Where am I? Where did I come from and where am I going?

The silence that ended was brought to a close by Gabishu, who happened to land on Earth.

According to the cosmic seasons, the last tens of thousands of years have been like springtime, so monsters of various races such as Dinozoru, Bal, and Kerubim are more active. The activity of these race monsters also leads to the activity of predator monsters, such as Zakira a while ago and Gabishu now. I don't know if Bogaru exists in this universe. If it does, it should also be active now.

Since the scent left by Zakira and other giant cosmic monsters had dissipated, Gabishu, unaware of the truth and hungry, landed on Earth, intending to consume some protein and fat to fill his stomach.

Its invasion point happened to be a blind spot for the Delta Force, so it was not blocked until it successfully entered the atmosphere. Meanwhile, almost all of the defense forces were deployed to Mexico City to deal with Super Gobu and the Tri-Emperor, which allowed Gabishu to land safely.

Fortunately, Gabishu landed on the Mongolian plains, where, as a wolf-like monster, it smelled the scent of grazing sheep.

As soon as it landed, Gabishu grabbed a dozen sheep from the ranch and stuffed them into its mouth. Although it had never seen sheep before as a cosmic monster, that did not stop it from thinking that the food was very delicious.

The defense team's emergency phone lines were immediately overwhelmed with calls. Local herders anxiously exclaimed, "Send people over quickly! I have a feeling that once it finishes eating the sheep, it'll start eating me!"

But the defense force is also in a bind, because the Asian branch just flew to Mexico City, and even if they turn back now, it will probably take a while to arrive.

Left with no other option, the defense forces had to issue an emergency order for the Mexico City defense forces to rush to the Mongolian Plain as quickly as possible, regardless of whether they had enough time or not, and set off immediately.

The message naturally reached Mitsuko, who was working in place of Imu. She glanced at Imu and the others, who were still confused and bewildered, and then at the message on the screen. She then silently sent the message to Taganura, who was carrying a communicator.

A moment later, Taganu stretched out his little paw and poked I-meng, who was in a daze, to relay the message to him.

In that instant, my dream seemed to have been injected with a pound of adrenaline, and suddenly came to life.

He whispered to the people on the scene for a few seconds, then he and Zetton nodded to each other. I Meng grabbed Taganura and the Moonlight team members, while Zetton held Black King's hand, and the two of them used a super long-distance teleportation together.

On the Mongolian plains, herders who had no time to evacuate were lifted off the ground along with their sheep by Gabishu, and were about to be sent into his gaping maw.

Just then, Gabishu, who was sitting on the ground enjoying the food of thousands of Mongolian sheep, suddenly felt the sky darken. When he looked up, he found himself surrounded by five big men.

A strange feeling suddenly arose, and a strong sense of unease immediately filled my body.

And the cold sweat was pouring out.

"Eating mutton must be great, right?" I glanced at Gabishu's palm and saw that there were a few herders mixed in, so I immediately gave him a look.

King Black silently approached, slapped the dazed Gabishu hard across the face, then snatched the sheep and herdsman from its hands and gently placed them on the ground.

“We’re really hot today,” I said.

Sweating profusely, Gabishu tried to get up and run away, but the moment he stood up, Zetton's strong arms pressed him back to the ground, his buttocks pressing a large crater into the ground.

Seeing that escape seemed hopeless, Gabishu immediately changed his expression. His fierce and ferocious wolf face turned into a cat face covered with blue and white fur. His big, watery eyes looked pitifully at Momo, trying to gain her sympathy.

This is Gabishu's usual tactic: when things are going against her, she will disguise herself as an adorable pet to gain sympathy.

Snapped!

Jetton slapped it across the face and pointed at it, saying with a sinister expression, "As long as we're by my side, that's enough. You slutty bitch, go to hell."

Seeing that escape was hopeless and that acting cute was not working, Gabishu was suddenly filled with rage and evil intentions. Its face turned back into a ferocious wolf face, and at the same time, the muscles on its body began to expand rapidly. In just a few seconds, Gabishu's muscles had increased by a whole level, making it look quite imposing.

However, as soon as it stood up and faced my dream with its chest covered in bulging muscles, a large red fist sank directly into its abdominal muscles.

This energy punch sent Gabishu staggering back several steps, his eyes nearly glazing over.

Fortunately, as a predator, Gabishu wasn't exactly fragile. After catching his breath and sweating profusely, Gabishu regained his strength.

But instead of showing any signs of recovery, it pretended to be weak and lay on the ground. Just when it thought that I had let my guard down, it suddenly raised its tail and released a lightning-shaped yellow destructive beam from its tail.

I dreamt I stood still, not moving an inch. Others might not know what kind of person Gabishu is, but I know him too.

Without him having to lift a finger, Zetton instantly stood in front of Gabishu, his hands held across his chest to absorb the destructive beam, then reflected it back as a wave-like beam, severing Gabishu's tail.

The pained Gabishu turned its head and saw the fleeing herdsmen. It had a sudden idea and fired a capture beam from its eyes. There was a special space in its eyeballs, which could capture objects that were not too big and use them as hostages.

Hostage tactics are also a useful trick for Gabishu, and they are generally very effective because no one would expect a monster to have such a skill.

Except for my dreams.

Gabishu's capture beam had just been fired when it was intercepted by Imu's instantaneous quantum stream. Gabishu turned around in a panic and saw a lightsaber flash past in front of it. The next second, it felt itself flying and spinning in mid-air.

After beheading Gabishu with a single sword strike, Imu, as usual, used Quantum Stream to sweep Gabishu from head to toe, burning him to ashes to prevent Sphia from picking up the body. Meanwhile, Taganura dug a pit nearby, swept up the remaining ashes of Gabishu, shoveled them in, filled it with soil, and even stomped on it a few times to make it firm.

After finishing our business, Meng and her group happily pulled up their trousers, their earlier unpleasantness instantly vanishing.

Chapter Ninety-Five: The Empress Retreats!

For me now, fighting ordinary monsters is just a pastime. After seeing all sorts of monsters with multiple stat boosts, monsters like Gabishu, which are so normal they're almost abnormal, seem adorable.

While relaxing, I still need to seriously consider the issue of the three emperors.

The Three Emperors were already difficult to fight, but what was even more difficult to deal with was that they could use the Destruction Summoning Entity's wormhole to retreat at any time.

This is a problem that must be addressed first, because if we don't solve it, we will never be able to kill the three emperors. They will just run away if they can't defeat us, so how can we kill them?

However, the problem of wormholes is not something that can be solved overnight. At least, the manpower on my side is indeed not enough to handle this problem.

"There's no other way. Let's see if the humans can come up with any solutions."

If this were the original Gaia universe, members of the Alchemy Star should have stepped in to help at this point. However, in this world, the Alchemy Star organization was not established. This doesn't mean that those geniuses didn't exist; rather, they didn't need to establish the Alchemy Star to save the world. Almost all the people who wanted to save the world had joined the Earth Defense Force.

On a whim, I dreamt of returning to the defense force base.

The problem of preventing the three emperors from escaping was not only something he had thought of; the members of the defense force were also keenly aware of this issue.

If a monster can retreat anytime, anywhere, there's no way to kill it. You'll be led by the nose, and it can attack wherever it wants. Before you even get there, it'll have already retreated. Just thinking about it makes it impossible to fight a war like that.

In the command center, everyone was unusually quiet. Even Shinjo and Yamanaka, who were usually the most talkative, remained silent with somber faces.

"What's wrong? The atmosphere is so tense," I asked as I entered the room.

Sitting in a chair drinking tea, Saijo Nagi said helplessly, "Everyone is waiting for news from the Space Development Agency. Dealing with wormholes is something that we combat personnel can't control, so we can only hope that the researchers at the Space Development Agency will come up with a solution as soon as possible."

The team member in the mountains stood up with a bitter expression: "My dream, you have the highest education level among us. Why don't you go to the space development zone and listen to some news for everyone? We're really getting anxious sitting here, but we can't understand what you're listening to."

Those who can join the Earth Defense Force are certainly not illiterate. In fact, most of you here are college graduates, truly both literate and skilled in martial arts.

However, the research on wormholes is such a profound subject that even many famous physicists might not be able to participate, let alone them. Perhaps only the world's top talents can discuss it with each other.

"I'll go take a look." I turned around and headed straight for the Space Development Bureau.

At this time, the research institutes under the Space Development Agency were also in complete chaos. Long before I returned to the team, everyone had started discussing how to block the three emperors' retreat route.

However, although things are chaotic here, there are solutions. In fact, the chaos is caused by the fact that everyone has been divided into several factions, each sticking to their own plan.

As soon as I entered the dream, I felt someone pat my shoulder with a "Hey!" followed by an alluring fragrance.

Turning my head, I saw it was someone I knew.

To be precise, they are "acquaintances" of mine who are both familiar with each other and unfamiliar with each other.

"My dream, are you here to participate in the discussion too?" Catherine, with her blonde hair, looked at him with a smile.

"Huh, uh?" I was stunned. He did recognize the person in front of him. She was one of the members of the Alchemy Star in the original work, Catherine Lian. Of course I recognized this character from the original work, but... why did she look so familiar with me?

Neither the former Takayama Gamu nor the current Gamu should have had any contact with her.

Logically speaking, I know her, but I've never had any contact with her in person, and she should also know that there's someone named I am in the Defense Force, but she hasn't actually had any contact with her.

"What's wrong? You seem distracted. Were you stunned by the monster? Or do you have a fever?" She reached out her little hand and pressed it on my forehead, looking puzzled. "You don't have a fever, so why are you so dazed?"

"Uh... because I rushed back in a hurry, the plane was flying too fast, so I'm still a little dazed."

"Oh, you've worked hard." Catherine pointed to several groups of people in the middle of the research institute and said, "Boss Daniel is arguing with Queen Dan. Their solutions to the wormhole conflict, and they want to decide who is better."

“Daniel? Oh..…”

Daniel's name is the name of the Alchemy Star Council Chairman in the original work. He is considered one of the strong supporters of the original work, and the subject of his research happens to be wormholes.

What I'm really confused about right now is, why does Catherine know him?

Just then, his communicator received a message. I looked down and saw it was from Photon, asking how things were going. So I excused myself to go to the bathroom and left the scene. I ran to the bathroom and texted Photon: "There's someone named Catherine here at the Space Development Agency. She seems to know me very well. Did you meet her when you came to cover for me at work?"

Photon replied: "Yeah, she and I are best friends. Catherine is generous and brave, and I love hanging out with her."

"No, could you please stop playing with my face on your body? She keeps sticking to me all the time, and it makes me really nervous!"

"What?" Guangzi, who was playing with her pen at home, suddenly snapped it in two: "She's sticking it on you?"

"Yeah, does she usually stick close to you?"

"Yes, but we're best friends, isn't it normal for us to stick together?"

"Have you ever considered that you're using my face to get close to her, but actually she's not getting close to you, she's getting close to me?"

"!!!!!!!" An endless galaxy flashed through Photon's mind in an instant.

Just then, Zetton, who had heard Photon break the ballpoint pen, came out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife: "What's wrong, Photon? What happened?"

"Uh, no!" Photon quickly laughed it off, then nervously asked me, "What should we do then?"

"What should we do? Maybe you should be cold to her next time you come to work," I said helplessly.

"Wouldn't that be too cruel?"

"What should I do if she keeps bothering me?"

"Oh... then I'll be ruthless." Photon made up her mind immediately.

I sighed as I walked out of the bathroom. The debate outside had already concluded, and seeing Dan's expression—like he'd found a half-worm in an apple—I knew he'd been thoroughly defeated by Daniel.

Chapter 96 Oh no, I've become a substitute?

"Everyone has their own expertise, Dr. Dango. Your idea is indeed excellent, but your lack of professional skills made you overlook the fatal flaw in the plan," said Daniel, with his curly hair, in his victory speech.

"I lost." Queen Dan supported herself with her hands on the ground, drenched in sweat.

I had just returned from the bathroom when I saw this scene. Before I could even think about it, Catherine suddenly grabbed my right arm and hugged me to her chest.

“Look, I knew Daniel would win. His wormhole research is second to none in the entire Space Development Agency,” Catherine said excitedly, linking her arm with my dream’s.

"Uh...yes, I guessed Daniel would win at first, but Catherine, could you please be a little more mindful of the consequences?" I Meng awkwardly tried to pull her arm away.

“I still prefer you to call me Cathy.” Catherine pulled my dream arm back and hugged me even tighter.

"............" I cried out in my heart, "Photon, what the hell did you do to Catherine? This favorability rating seems to have been raised to an unusually high level."

What's even more outrageous is that the researchers from the Space Development Agency and others who walked by all seemed unfazed by what they saw, and some even covered their mouths and smiled like doting aunts.

I noticed that those people who were smiling like doting aunts were the ones who had just started supporting Daniel.

"What exactly happened while I was gone???" I was completely bewildered in my dream.

Just then, Daniel, who had just won, stepped down from the stage and nodded very seriously to thank Wo Meng: "Wo Meng, you've come at the right time. I was just about to thank you. Without your guidance, my wormhole research project might have remained stagnant, let alone come in handy today."

"Huh???" I was dumbfounded again.

What is all this about? When did "I" give you any pointers on your topic?

Could it have been done by Photon?

That doesn't make sense, does Photon have this skill?

Catherine chimed in, "Yes, my dream, your ideas are so bold! They're paths that the physics community has never even considered before. Sometimes we really wonder if you're an alien, that's why you have such imaginative ideas."

"what?"

I understand now, it really was Photon who gave me this guidance?

I didn't consider that although Photon wasn't exactly a top student, she attended a university for extraterrestrials. The knowledge that a university of an interstellar civilization could teach was completely unimaginable on Earth today. Photon may not be an expert, but if she could just relay the few concepts and ideas she occasionally heard, it would already be a devastating blow to Earth.

"Come here to chat more when you have time." Daniel patted Meng on the shoulder. Although he wanted to continue chatting with Meng, he needed to go to the production department to manufacture the wormhole jamming transmitter he designed right away. The monster wouldn't wait for them to finish their conversation before showing up.

I awkwardly replied, "Let's talk again when we have time," and only breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Daniel's curly hair bouncing and disappearing from sight.

“Thank you, Meng.” Catherine looked up at Meng, her blue eyes filled with gratitude. “I’ve felt much better since you talked to me about family last time. Thank you so much.”

"What, family?" I was dumbfounded for the third time.

"Well, I never imagined that someone as cheerful and sunny as my team member would grow up in such a family environment. After talking with you, I realized that my parents do love me, but they are just ordinary people with their own personality flaws. I shouldn't have had such a falling out with my family."

"Ah... um, it's good to reconcile with family." Imeng scratched her head sheepishly.

"I'm planning to go home for a visit soon. Do you want to come with me, Meng?"

"No, no, I have things to do..." Meng felt a chill run down her spine and immediately made up an excuse that she was thirsty and wanted to eat before running away.
