Moonlight team, are you awake?

However, I didn't feel much pressure. On one hand, it was because the other party's fusion material was just Gaddi, not a particularly monstrous space monster, so its strength wouldn't be too high. On the other hand, it was because... he had Zetton.

Actually, I didn't originally plan to use Zetton in today's battle. Although Zetton has a dual beauty in terms of numerical mechanics, as anyone who plays games often knows, once a character becomes too overpowered, either it will be nerfed or a new character will appear that can directly counter it. The Sphia life form and the Destruction summoning form that I was facing are enemies that adjust their lineup according to the opponent.

If I always rely on Zetton to solve problems, the other side will quickly devote all their energy to figuring out how to deal with Zetton. Once the enemy finds a way to deal with Zetton, I will be in an even more passive position.

Therefore, I must defeat my opponent as much as possible without using Zetton, making him understand that he can handle things even without Zetton. This way, we can prevent the enemy from focusing too much on Zetton and avoid everyone becoming too reliant on Zetton, thus neglecting their own strength.

However, there will be an exception today, because the other party has angered Jetton.

Gadi, which had just evolved into a Sphia chimera, suddenly got up from the ground, and the horn on its head instantly lit up red, firing its signature move, Crimson Heat Ray, at my dream.

Although his strength has improved a lot, I dare not be careless at all, because the original Gadi's Crimson Heat Ray once stunned even the tough-skinned Power Type Tiga for a few seconds. Now that Gadi has evolved, if this shot were to hit me, it might hurt a lot.

When evaluating the strength of monsters in Ultraman Tiga, I often use the standard of "how well this thing performs against the Power Type", because although Power Type Tiga is nominally a power form, its actual power-up is about the same as the upgraded forms of other Ultraman.

What I remember most vividly is the battle with Zoga, the second son of the enemy. The aerial Tiga, who is known for his speed, couldn't even react to Zoga's attack. He was then hit hard by Zoga's fists and lifted up by the neck.

After Tiga switched from Sky Type to Power Type, he immediately became Zoga's father.

The fact that Zoga was whipped around like a spinning top is self-evident, but the most abstract example is that the powerful Tiga's attack speed made it impossible for Zoga to react.

Zoga's attacks caught the Aerial Type off guard, while the Power Type's attacks caught Zoga off guard as well. This makes one wonder, did the Power Type really slow down? Or has Daigo, after a TV series of training, successfully overcome the Power Type's weakness of slowing down?

Besides speed, the most prominent feature of Power Type Tiga is its defense. Although it is often beaten to the ground and rolled around when facing powerful monsters, it has never been unable to get up. Even when facing an opponent like Ji Er who completely overwhelms it, Power Type Tiga can still get up after taking N elbows from the opponent.

If we convert this level of tankiness, it's equivalent to me being able to stand up unscathed after being hit by dozens of large horns from three emperors in my dream.

In contrast, a certain purple form that can be penetrated by a regular fan...

I even had a moment of doubt: during the battle with Gen 2, the reason why Tiga was instantly killed in mid-air was because Gen 2 was too strong, or because... Sky was too fragile?

Gadi's Crimson Ray can stun Power Type Tiga for a short while, so rounding up, this output would probably make a Composite Type scream, and if it hits an Air Type, it would probably knock him to the ground and not get up.

Out of caution, I dodged the crimson ray that was aimed directly at me. The ray that just brushed past me hit the barrier that Gadi had created earlier. With a crisp sound, the entire barrier shattered into pieces.

My heart skipped a beat. Those shattered fragments of the barrier were like glass scissors falling from the sky. If they were to fall, the people below would probably all be stuffed like dumplings.

He immediately gathered his power and unleashed the Gaia Barrier, covering the entire amusement park floor. Everyone on the ground was enveloped by the barrier, safely surviving the rain of barrier fragments falling from the sky.

As I dreamed of casting a barrier, Metal Gadi attempted to ambush me from behind, but before it could make a move, a strong and powerful hand landed on its shoulder.

Turning his head, he was startled to see Jaden with a menacing expression.

"Not only did you interrupt my good time, but you even tried to ruin my dream! Unforgivable...!"

But Metal Gadi was no longer a minor character. With a swing of its arm, its large fingernails transformed into metallic blades, hurtling directly at Zetton.

Jaden scoffed, "Catching a blade barehanded... that's a training exercise I'm about to throw up from."

It easily extended its palm, pinched the metal blade between its thumb and forefinger, and then twisted its arm gently. A crisp sound rang out, and the metal blade was snapped in two.

That wasn't all. Zetton then plunged the blade into the chest of the metal Gadi. If it hadn't transformed into a Sphia chimera, this would have been a fatal wound.

At the same time, after releasing the barrier, I Meng rushed forward and directly punched Metal Gadi in the abdomen. While I felt a tingling pain on my scalp, Metal Gadi was also knocked back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ignoring the pain in my hands, I rushed forward and grabbed Gadi's shoulders and abdomen, shouting, "Ultra Hurricane!!!"

Gamu's arms glowed, and after strengthening them with energy, he hurled a 100,000-ton metal object into the air with a whirring motion. Taking advantage of the opponent's inability to activate its barrier due to the Ultra Hurricane, Gamu charged up Gaia Stream and burned it to ashes in mid-air.

It had been a long time since I had such a simple battle. I dreamt of taking flight, a long-awaited escape.

After transforming back into my human form, I dreamt of landing next to Mitsuko. Just as I was about to perform the smile and wave that I was used to in human form, I noticed that Mitsuko was staring at the screen with her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" I suddenly had a bad feeling.

Photon held the phone up to Wo Meng and said worriedly, "Someone just contacted us in the live stream. They said that planet S-851 in our neighboring star system recently lost contact. The interstellar alliance representative of that star system sent people there to investigate and found that it had been destroyed. Judging from the remaining traces, it was the work of the cosmic beast Ruganoga. They said that the closest habitable planet to planet S-851 is Earth, so we speculate that their next target is likely to be here."

Chapter 111 Requiem for Creation

"Holy crap, Ruganoga?"

I'm not unfamiliar with this name, because it's one of the few monsters in the Ultraman series that actually destroyed a planet. It comes from Ultraman Max TV. Right at the beginning, it directly destroyed a civilization planet similar to Earth, and after destroying the planet, it rushed towards Earth without stopping, just like the current situation.

This thing's characteristic is that it specifically targets planets with a certain level of civilization to attack. The neighboring planet S-851 is actually very far away from Earth. There are other life-bearing planets between the two, but none with a certain level of civilization yet.

Although humans often feel that they are far behind extraterrestrials, in reality, planets with civilizations at our level are extremely rare in the entire universe. After all, planets suitable for life are very scarce, and even if life arises, the ability to establish a civilization is only possible under extremely rare circumstances. For example, Earth has had life for billions of years, but it was only a few thousand years ago that humans established a civilization.

The monster Ruganoga, which specifically attacks civilized planets, is somewhat similar in nature to the petrifying monster Gagorgon, only its nature is more terrifying. Gagorgon attacks civilized planets mainly to obtain energy, not to target the civilization itself, but simply because it is easier to obtain energy from civilized planets.

Ruganoga, on the other hand, came with the intention of destroying civilization. If the universe is likened to the human body, then Gagorgon can be considered a germ, while Ruganoga can be called a virus.

This is the first monster with the ability to destroy planets, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

In the TV series, when the planet-destroying monster Ruganoga faced Ultraman Max, it didn't perform very well. It was immediately overwhelmed by Max's fierce and powerful fighting style. It only gained a brief advantage by sneaking up on the opponent with its tail. However, after Max was at a disadvantage, it immediately took out the Galaxy Cannon and annihilated Ruganoga with one shot, making this planet-destroying monster seem not so scary.

However, Max's impressive performance was likely due to Ruganoga not even getting serious yet. The entire battle was actually very short. Although Max initially fought brilliantly, he didn't inflict any real damage on Ruganoga. After being pressured, Max immediately unleashed the Max Galaxy Cannon, whose damage output was off the charts, and instantly killed Ruganoga at full health in one hit.

The reason I think this way is because Ruganoga did indeed destroy a planet similar to Earth, which means it must have some kind of skill with extremely high damage. Even if it burrowed into the Earth's core and detonated the planet, it would require a terrifying amount of output. If Ruganoga were to use its planet-destroying method, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing how nervous Ikumo was, Photon comforted me, “Ikumo, you don’t need to worry too much. Actually, this isn’t the first time Ruganoga has appeared in the universe. It’s like a virus. It can be born at any time due to the distortion of the universe or the accumulation of darkness. In order to correct this distortion, the universe will spontaneously create cosmic white blood cells called Lugset to clear it. Many Ruganoga crises have been overcome in this way.”

"And Lugset?" A glimmer of hope appeared in my dream eyes.

Although Lugiel has always appeared as a villain, that's because the entertainer Tregear modified Lugiel's genetic program, causing the original cosmic white blood cell to go berserk.

A true Lugiset should be a righteous messenger, just as Photon said, to cleanse the cosmic virus, Ruganoga.

Speak of the devil, and he appears! A new trending live stream was pushed to the Photon Live app: [First-hand report! Witnessing the moment when the cosmic white blood cell Lugsette strangles the cosmic virus!]

Upon clicking, it turned out to be a scene where a cosmic investigator from a neighboring galaxy happened to encounter the cosmic white blood cell Lugset blocking Ruganoga while observing a planet.

As monsters born in outer space, both Ruganoga and Lugiel possess top-tier power. Most monsters in the cosmic black market are as naive as children in front of them, and the difference between them is like that between a hound and a mammoth.

In the scene, Lugsette and Ruganoga collide at extremely high speeds in space. The force and speed of their clash amaze even Zetton, who is watching the live broadcast.

Many familiar faces were also present in the live stream:

【Master Gao from afar】: "What an intense battle! It truly lives up to its reputation as a monster born naturally from the universe. In terms of sheer power, few can compare to it."

[It's a nose, not DIO]: "I wonder if they can break through my shield. If they can, I'll be completely helpless against these guys."

[Pressure Mage]: "It is indeed extraordinary, probably even stronger than the mechanical Zetton created by the previous Zettonian."

At that moment, Ikona, who was watching the live stream with her, was typing on her phone: "But he's probably no match for Old Pu, right?"

[Pressure Magician]: "I need to open my eyes and deal with this."

【Devil Gentleman】: "Little Ai, it's normal that you're young and don't know. The giant monsters that were born from the cosmic wars and were left over from the Chaotic Era were almost all cleaned up by Old Pu and his men. He killed no less than five Morroia alone."

At this moment, Eikona's lips curled into a smile: "Wow, can Old Pu step in and take care of this Ruganoga?"

[Pressure Mage]: "According to the rules of the Interstellar Alliance, if a member is killed, it is our turn to take action."

Upon seeing this sentence, Meng smirked: "Does that mean if we get killed, he'll avenge us?"

Eikona smiled awkwardly: "That's roughly the idea. The rule of the Interstellar Alliance is that only events of the level of 'extraordinary' or higher require the intervention of people like Old Pu. A major criterion for evaluating the level is the harm caused to alliance members. Disasters that directly destroy the planets of members can be considered as 'extraordinary'."

"What will the Interstellar Alliance say if we are killed by the Destruction Summoning Entity and the Sphia Lifeform?" I Meng suddenly became interested.

Aikona scratched her head: "Hmm... how should I put it? Have you ever seen a security guard take on an army of 100,000 men for you?"

"Fine, forget I asked." I shrugged.

During the conversation, the battle on the screen reached its final stage. Lugiel spread his wings and began to charge up his ultimate move, "Genesis Requiem," in front of his chest.

The fact that it dares to use such a powerful name as "Genesis Requiem" suggests that its power is immeasurable. In terms of its performance in the show, Genesis Requiem once killed two normal Ultras with a single shot, demonstrating a frighteningly high output.

Ultraman's physical defense, especially his light defense, is extremely high. Throughout the series, it is common for Ultraman's beams to be reflected back and hit him, or for him to be directly hit by attacks with equal or even greater power than his own finishing beam.

Ray attacks that can directly destroy monsters often only produce a spark when they hit Ultraman himself, causing him to fall to the ground and roll a few times. Even the Rezolim Ray from Emperor Alien takes some time to kill Ultraman if it hits him head-on.

Lugsette's Creation Requiem can instantly kill two Ultras, and its value is beyond doubt.

When I saw Lugiel unleash the Requiem of Creation, I thought the game was over. Ruganoga couldn't even withstand Max Galaxy, let alone the Requiem of Creation?

Most of the viewers in the live stream shared the same opinion, including some of the more senior aliens who had witnessed Ruganoga being chased by Lugiel in the past. They said that Lugiel didn't even need to use the Creation Requiem; he simply used the Creation Elegy to take Ruganoga away.

On the screen, facing the dark purple light released by Lugiset, Ruganoga simultaneously emitted blue-gold beams of light from the mouths on his head and arms. The three beams combined and faced the Creation Requiem head-on.

The next second, a scene that shocked me to my core appeared—the beam of light from Ruganoga actually pushed the Creation Requiem back, instantly piercing through Lugsette, and the aftershock hit an asteroid behind Lugsette, instantly shattering Lugsette and the asteroid together completely.

"Holy crap, what is that?" My Dream was no longer just sweating profusely; he was drenched in sweat.

A beam of light pushed back the Genesis Requiem and instantly killed Lugiel, the aftershock shattering the asteroid—what the hell is this kind of blinding power output? This Ruganoga is definitely not an ordinary individual!

Chapter 112 Interstellar Alliance, Assemble!

When I saw Lugerset lose, I was completely dumbfounded.

Not only was I stunned, but everyone who watched the live stream was also dumbfounded.

Lugiel's beating of Ruganoga is not a one-off occurrence in the universe. In the past, Lugiel has killed several Ruganoga, usually with just one Genesis Elegy. This time, using the Winged Genesis Requiem was an unprecedented exception, yet he still lost.

The moment Lugset was defeated, everyone knew that things were in serious trouble.

In the history of the universe to date, Lugiset has only been recorded using the Requiem of Creation once, about 6000 million years ago, when he launched the Requiem of Creation to intercept Maga Yamata no Orochi, which had devoured countless planets. That time, he successfully killed Maga Yamata no Orochi, which had left many aliens helpless, and made everyone remember the power of the Requiem of Creation.

Ruganoga's beam attack was able to instantly push back the Creation Requiem and kill Lugset, with the aftershocks even destroying the asteroid. No one could believe it was true unless they saw it with their own eyes.

After a brief pause, the Plesian in the live stream immediately posted a message on the Interstellar Alliance's communication channel: "Immediately send people to trace Ruganoga's movements and find its earliest birthplace. Something is wrong with this Ruganoga; it's very likely that something unknown has happened in the universe."

The Ruganoga is born either from the distortion of the universe or from the aggregation of large amounts of darkness, meaning its strength depends entirely on how it is born.

After defeating Lugiset, Ruganoga, as if in a show of defiance, simultaneously fired beams of light from its head and hands in different directions, instantly shattering several surrounding planets. Then, with a long roar, it swaggered onwards towards Earth.

Ruganoga's roar was mixed with many sounds that sounded like screams and howls, which made those who heard it shudder.

Just as my mind went blank, the person in the live stream, 【Pressure Magician】, sent them a private message: "We just had a short meeting. This incident is special, and we will take direct action to intercept it in its flight path. If you are interested, you should also join the battle. To be honest, we are a little unsure about this situation."

Ruganoga is different from other enemies. It is clearly targeting civilization as an enemy. If left unchecked, Ruganoga will visit every member of the Interstellar Alliance. In other words, Ruganoga is undoubtedly a common enemy of the universe, and the Interstellar Alliance must concentrate its efforts to eliminate it.

Aikona leaned close to Meng's face, almost touching his, as she looked at the messages on the screen. When she saw the other party's ID and the content of the private message, her eyes widened in disbelief: "Old Pu and the others have actually decided to take direct action, and even Old Pu isn't confident..."

“It’s normal to be unsure. This thing’s output is outrageous. It not only killed Lugiel, but also destroyed the surrounding planets with a casual attack. In other words, if it doesn’t want to get entangled with us and just unleashes its full power on Earth in space, we’ll be finished.” My Dream said with a solemn expression.

The only way to deal with this kind of enemy is indeed to intercept them in space, because we can't gamble on whether they will launch a landing operation. What if they choose to launch a long-range attack? Some of the planets that were just casually destroyed were not much smaller than Earth.

Moreover, even if we take a step back and assume the enemy has such destructive power, if the battle were to take place on Earth's own soil, any single misstep could lead to the complete destruction of the planet. Such a battle with zero room for error is simply impossible to fight.

"Are you going? I'm going." Zetton was no longer in the mood to investigate Ikona's recent infidelity. She knew how dangerous this battle would be, and her gaze towards I'm going was filled with worry.

"Of course we'll go." I took a deep breath. The fact that the aliens from the Interstellar Alliance were willing to help was undoubtedly a stroke of good luck. If the Plaiserians and Yapoolians were also willing to go all out, then this battle might not necessarily be impossible.

At the very least, the Plesios possess the psychic power to instantly disintegrate the mechanical Zetton, while the Yapool have an almost endless army of super beasts, including more than one Ace Killer, and possibly even King Johnson. Add to that a host of powerful aliens, including the Hipporito aliens, and this group might not be unable to defeat them.

I must go to this battle, because more strength means a better chance of winning. The only hope against Ruganoga is this joint attack by the aliens. If the attack succeeds, Earth will be safe, but if it fails, Earth will be doomed.

The only thing that makes me feel uneasy about him is that, as the Light of the Earth, he cannot obtain energy from the Earth in the universe. In other words, while other Ultramen have a short time on Earth and a long time in the universe, he is the opposite. He has a sufficient energy supply on Earth, but his time is limited in the universe.

Even so, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it; there was no reason to back down at this point.

"This is a space operation, so it'll probably be just me and Zetton who can go. You guys stay on Earth and keep an eye on our news. If things don't look good, you'd better run first."

I dreamt I was telling Eikona, "You're not from Earth, so there's no need to drag you into this. Hurry up and take the spaceship back to Nackle."

"Ha, who do you take me for? Just some ordinary citizen passing by in space?" Eikona said speechlessly, "I'm the representative of Nackle, the person in charge of Nackle in the Interstellar Alliance. How could you possibly think of making me run away?"

I was puzzled: "But the problem is... even if you went to the scene, you wouldn't be able to help much, right? King Black's size shouldn't be effective in a battle of this level."

"Idiot, do you really think that our planet Nackle only has the Black King, priced at 3000?" Eikona rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "We also have stronger Black Kings, but they are generally used for self-defense and are not sold to outsiders."

"So you're going to the battlefield too?"

"That's not the case. If my main body went there, I would only be a hindrance. But if you want to go to the site, I'll lend you the monster capsule that I was originally going to send there."

Eikona took out a thumb-sized cube from her clothes, pressed her finger on the cube for a few seconds, and a projection appeared on the top of the cube, which quickly materialized into a black and gold monster capsule.

“This is my personal guardian monster. Its strength is roughly equivalent to an 8000-level monster. You can take it and use it. It would be best if you could return it to me alive.” Eikona generously stuffed the monster capsule into my dream’s palm. “I hope to see it again, and I hope to see you again.”

“I understand.” I nodded and accepted the monster capsule.

At the same time, Eikona's communicator rang; it was a message from the Interstellar Alliance's communication channel.

The birthplace of Ruganoga has been identified. This region contains a large amount of residual dark power, and the resentful spirits of many victims from the Great Cosmic War have been observed. It is speculated that Ruganoga is an aggregate of the resentment of victims from the Great Cosmic War over billions of years.

Chapter 113 Ruganoga (X) King Grand (√)

"A cosmic war?" Imu turned to look at Eikona, her eyes filled with the question, "What kind of big stunt have you guys pulled off?"

Eikona could only explain helplessly: "Around the ancient times, various forces in the universe gradually took shape. In order to compete for the supreme existence with absolute power, they launched a cosmic war that lasted for billions of years. During this period, countless casualties were caused. It was not until 50 years ago that the cosmic war ended with the establishment of the Interstellar Alliance. Now, cosmic history refers to that period as the 'Chaotic Era'."

"A war that has lasted for billions of years..." I can hardly imagine how many people died during that time. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, I guess there must have been countless powerful figures who could be featured in TV shows.
