Moonlight team, are you awake?

"Yes, there have been monsters formed from the resentment of the dead in the Great Cosmic War in the past, but they were basically cleared away by the Rainbow Dragon. This is the first time that a situation like today has occurred, so it's no wonder that Old Pu and the others are in a hurry to take action."

"This guy is basically just a reskinned Grante King..." I muttered to myself.

“King Grand? What’s that?” Eikona had never heard of that name before.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a demon from an Earth TV drama, born from the vengeful spirits of dead monsters, similar to the current Ruganoga."

"I see." Aikona nodded, without suspecting anything.

The first Grand King was formed by combining the undead monsters from the Monster Graveyard. In terms of recipe, it was similar to the current Ruganoga, since the Monster Graveyard is a collection of monsters and alien spirits from ancient times to the present.

Juda was born from the distortion of the universe. Through Juda's power, the spirits of the Monster Graveyard were gathered to give birth to King Grand. However, Juda did not exist in this universe. Therefore, the power of the spirits was attached to Ruganoga, which was also born from the distortion of the universe. This is why King Grand was born wearing Ruganoga's skin.

No wonder the Rainbow Dragon lost to it; it turns out this thing is actually the Showa Grand King in essence?

Showa Grand King's cannon could pierce through Earth, Mars, and Jupiter in a straight line, but after clashing with Sairyu, the remaining aftershocks could only shatter asteroids. It seems that Sairyu was somewhat wrong. I originally thought that it was too weak to beat Ruganoga, but I didn't expect that Ruganoga on the other side was incredibly strong.

This situation is a bit funny. Ruganoga is a clone of the ancient king, and the Interstellar Alliance has now become the Land of Light.

Eikona picked up the communicator and glanced at it: "Old Pu and the others have calculated Ruganoga's route and have decided to intercept it on planet G-327. They are on their way there now, and Ruganoga will arrive in about 10 minutes."

“Planet G-327? Is there anything special about it?” Photon leaned closer.

Eikona explained, "Planet G-327 is a super-giant planet, and no life has yet emerged from it. Its mass is about 17 times that of Earth. Assuming that the energy required to destroy Earth is 1, then destroying G-327 would require more than 120 times the energy."

Photon suddenly realized: "I understand. This planet is more sturdy and won't be easily destroyed. If it were another planet, it might be destroyed by a single shot during the battle."

"That's right. Fighting in outer space is very difficult. Our opponent is Ruganoga, which can destroy planets at will. Using a large fleet to besiege them is not feasible. Only elite operations are effective."

“That’s true.” Imu nodded. In the Ultraman universe, spaceships are basically unable to pose a threat to aliens and monsters with powerful beams. The most typical example is Zoffy in Mebius, who wiped out an entire enemy fleet with a single M87 shot. Powerful monsters and aliens often single-handedly annihilate an entire civilization.

Just like Ruganoga, even a normal individual has a record of single-handedly annihilating an Earth-like planetary civilization, and that civilization even possessed faster-than-light spaceships.

"I'll send you the coordinates, please be very careful," Ikona reminded her again.

"Understood, we'll be careful." Imu nodded, and after resting for a while, she took out the Sapphire Cone and transformed into Gaia. Zetton also returned to its gigantic form. She put her arm around Imu's waist and used teleportation to fly towards planet G-327.

The distance teleported is limited and cannot be reached immediately, but fortunately, teleportation does not consume much energy for Zetton, and it can be used a few more times.

When I dreamt and Jetton arrived at the scene, the Interstellar Alliance had already clashed with Ruganoga.

The first thing that catches the eye is the sea of ​​Baltan clones, which release binding halos from their pincers, densely enveloping Ruganoga in an attempt to restrict its movements. However, the two horns on Ruganoga's shoulders instantly unleash red lightning that covers the entire sky, instantly wiping out all of Baltan's clones. Fortunately, Baltan's main body shrinks to a microscopic size, thus dodging Ruganoga's lightning attack.

Almost simultaneously, Mefilas and Hipporito rushed forward from the left and right. Lightning flashed in Mefilas's hands, while Hipporito's hands were engulfed in flames. Taking advantage of the brief opening created by Baltan, they pressed themselves against Ruganoga from the left and right. Mefilas's lightning attack had once been on par with Specium, while Hipporito's fiery palm had once caused Seven immense pain. Yet, despite pressing themselves against Ruganoga from the left and right, they did not inflict any damage on him. Instead, Ruganoga sent them flying with a single punch each.

"Ace Assassins, charge!" At Yapool's command, the five Ace Assassins simultaneously unleashed M87 beams at Ruganoga. The latter immediately retaliated with beams from its hands, almost instantly repelling the five M87 beams. If Yapool hadn't been prepared and had instructed the Ace Assassins to dodge in time, they would probably have followed in the footsteps of the Rainbow Dragon.

Seemingly sensing the hidden threat posed by multiple M87 beams, Ruganoga once again unleashed beams from her hands, attempting to wipe out Yapool and the ace assassin in one fell swoop.

"Old Pu!" the Yapool shouted as he looked at the oncoming star-destroying beam.

"Here they come!" The Prisher alien appeared behind Ruganoga in an instant, like a ghost. With a wave of his hand, his powerful psychic energy briefly restrained Ruganoga. Mefilas and Hipporito grabbed Ruganoga's hands from the left and right and lifted them up, causing Ruganoga's beam of light to deviate from its original trajectory.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Yapool once again commanded five ace assassins to fire the M87 beam. This time, the five beams combined successfully hit Ruganoga in the chest, creating a huge burst of sparks. The aftershocks of the explosion sent everyone except Praisel flying.

"Did it work?" Hipporito asked eagerly after getting up, giving the opponent a buff.

As the smoke cleared, Ruganoga stood unharmed. The combined attack of the five M87s had only rendered it inoperable for a few seconds before it resumed its actions. With a sweep of its tail, it forced Presher to dodge, and then unleashed a barrage of red lightning from its shoulders. Fortunately, Hipporito had placed protective shields on everyone in time to block the attack.

However, Hippolyta's protective shield seemed to be exactly what Ruganoga wanted, or rather, Ruganoga deliberately launched a lightning attack to make him release the shield. While everyone was covered by the shield, they gained powerful protection but also lost their mobility.

Ruganoga suddenly unleashed a triple beam attack from its head and hands, targeting Yapool and the Ace Assassins. Clearly, it had designated Yapool and the Ace Assassins as its absolute targets.

Chapter 114 You're using a body double? I'll do it too!

"Not good!" At this moment, the only movable Plesio alien instantly teleported out of the shield and stood in front of the Yapool.

Faced with the oncoming triple beams of light, the Plescher alien clasped his hands together, and a powerful psychic force instantly blocked them. The attack that had killed Lugiel was actually blocked by the psychic force. After a moment of stalemate, the Plescher alien used his psychic force to push the triple beams of light into the air, but he himself broke out in a cold sweat.

"This guy is really something else." The Prishe alien admitted that he had indeed met his match this time. With his telekinesis, he could only control Ruganoga briefly. Even with all his telekinesis, he could only deflect the direction of the opponent's beam, and could not directly reflect it back like he could with others.

"What do we do, old P? This guy is tough to deal with." Everyone gathered around Pleisher, but he didn't have a good idea for the time being. Ruganoga's offensive and defensive capabilities were too abnormal, and it was difficult for them to shake it.

"To eliminate it, we must gather everyone's strength in one place and let quantitative change lead to qualitative change. Dispersed forces simply cannot defeat it."

Everyone turned around in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Imu, who had just been brought over by Jetton.

“So it’s an Earthling.” The Plaisher nodded. “Is there any way to implement the method you just mentioned?”

I shook my head: "No, but this is the only way to beat it."

"Why are you so sure?" the Hipporito alien asked, puzzled, because such a method of fusion was unheard of in this universe. Apart from a few aliens who might be able to do it through their own talents, no one else had ever done such a thing.

My dream immediately proposed this method, and judging from its tone, it seemed very certain that it would win, which made it very curious.

If anyone else had said that, Hippolyte might have kicked him out immediately. But this guy had pulled out some unheard-of winning method from his crotch countless times, which made Hippolyte curious: could there really be some truth to this statement?

"I can't explain the reasons to you clearly, but if you want to win, this is the only way. As for how to do it, I don't know either."

I can't exactly say that I've watched Ultraman Story and that the guy on the other side is just a clone of Grand King, and that I need to create a clone of Ultraman Tai to win, right?

Combining things isn't exactly difficult, but it's not exactly easy either.

The reason why the six Ultra Brothers can combine into Ultra Taro is because Taro has an Ultra Antenna, which can act as a medium for absorbing energy.

The reason Mebius was able to combine into Infinite Mebius in a similar way is because he possessed the Mebius Aura, a magical item given to him by Father of Ultra.

If he had similar gadgets, he would definitely use them without hesitation. The problem is that he has neither an Ultra Antenna nor any magical gadgets, and he doesn't have the succubus physique of Old Man Ga. How can he combine them?

Although Gaia also absorbed energy in its final episode, it was the same source as the Earth's Light, so it's normal that it could be used.

It's impossible that when Earth created this giant, it used the template of the ancient giants, right?

"If there's no other way, then there's really nothing we can do." The Hipporito alien shook his head helplessly.

"What the hell are you all chatting about?!" Master Gao's voice came from afar and then flew up in front of everyone a second later.

During the time that the Plaiser aliens and others were repelled, the Godler aliens, along with the Kirieloids and Baltan aliens who were dragged from their sickbeds, were trying to hold out. But the result of their brute force was obvious: they were all wiped out in two quick blows.

The worst off was the Kirieloid, who had been elbowing Ruganoga for a long time, only to have his arm broken by a single slap.

The Plescher alien used his telekinesis to catch the Goldler alien who had been blasted away. The latter was still suspended in mid-air when he saw Memoir and quickly greeted him: "Hey! Isn't this that kid from Earth? Nice to meet you!"

"Master Gao, I've heard so much about you." I walked up and shook hands with Gao Dele's uniquely shaped arm. The latter was a model of hard work in the forums of my dream world, and was often the subject of various debates.

Of course, the most hardworking one has to be the one who broke his elbow, Jiji 2.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! My Kirieloid power!!!!" The Kirieloid screamed, clutching his severed arm.

Ignoring his screams, the group continued to discuss countermeasures: "This won't do. Even Yapool's ace assassin can't break its defense. We have to find a way to deal higher damage."

"How about we all attack together and use a combined beam of light?" I suggested.

If we could use a principle similar to the Magnificent Spark to combine everyone's light output, although we couldn't produce an output at the level of a cosmic miracle, we should be able to make Ruganoga crash for a while.

"What the hell are you doing?!!!!" As they were talking, Dark Baltan was also sent flying backward.

The Plesian used the same trick again, grabbing it and telling it about my dream's proposal.

Unexpectedly, after hearing about my dream's proposal to merge, the Baltan alien slapped his pincers and said, "You should have said so earlier, I have a way to do it."

"You have a way?" Everyone looked at it incredulously.

"Idiot! The technology of my great Baltan is the best in the universe!" The Baltan alien proudly stretched out his hand.

"..." Everyone had a "you're kidding me" look on their faces.

"Don't be so skeptical. To put it bluntly, isn't this just reversing the use of clone technology, using living people as clones and recycling them back into the 'main body'?" The Baltan alien shrugged helplessly.

"So how exactly do we achieve this?" Everyone was in a panic. Time was of the essence. While they were arguing back and forth, Ji Er's other elbow had already broken.

"Next, I will attach myself to everyone. Please do not resist. Let my clone take you all back to your original body."

"Return to your original form?" the Plaiser alien asked.

"That's definitely not it, I can't handle so many people." The Baltan alien shook his head repeatedly. The reason he couldn't use this method was because his main body could only withstand a limited amount of energy. Generally speaking, he could only withstand as much power as he was strong. Otherwise, since the clones that Baltan split off were all equivalent to the main body, wouldn't he be able to step on his own two feet and ascend to heaven on the spot if he just recalled the clones?

"Then who can hold on?"

"As far as I know, there is only one person present who has received energy exceeding their own body size, and instead of exploding and dying, they have become stronger." The Baltan alien turned his head and looked at my dream.

A brief discussion on the issue of combat power positioning in the book

As the plot progresses, monsters and aliens from different eras appear, inevitably raising the question of power levels.

First, I want to clarify that the book does not follow the theory of generational strength.

What is the theory of generational strength?

The theory of generational superiority states that later works always surpass earlier ones, and as more works are produced, a magical box of later works instantly defeating their predecessors emerges.

What would happen if we followed this theory?

The thing is, the things from the previous works are not even worthy of being on the table. The things from my later works can be stacked into a box and completely transcend all the things from the previous works. If you are willing to stack boxes, things like Gatanothor and Alien Empera will all become things that can be easily defeated by the younger generation (although Tsuburaya Productions did actually do that).

If we follow the theory of stacking boxes and each generation being stronger, does that mean we should write about SanDisk losing to the mid-game boss and Phoenix being easily humiliated by the opponent? How could we possibly write something like that?

The funniest thing is that the audience has stacked up all the old characters and thinks they have mastered all the characters' combat power. Then the official team actually gives you a new performance, and you look and think, "Hey, damn, why didn't it go as I said?"

Just like the Rainbow Dragon, before Silver Grid came out, did you think Teacher 80 could take it on one-on-one? But Teacher 80 just drove it away directly. You could say it was due to the anniversary sentiment, or you could say that Rainbow Dragon got its revenge in the next battle.

But no matter how you look at it, according to the theory of stacking boxes in the game, is it possible for a scenario like 80 defeating a rainbow dragon?

That's exactly what Tsuburaya Productions did. Even if they make up for it in the next match, this match was still a genuine official performance. This clearly shows that the so-called combat power display is just a whim of the official team. Does it mean that even though they are both official works, your performance is greater than mine? Your good performance is greater than your bad performance?

Even the same character can have completely different performances depending on the scriptwriter and the needs of the plot. Even if you really grab Tsuburaya Productions' official account and ask them who is stronger, they can't give you a suitable answer.

Therefore, after weighing the options, this book chose a positioning strategy.

What is "positioning"? It means treating a character according to their general plot positioning and performance. For example, Gatan, Zog, the Matrix of Spyria, and the Emperor. According to the theory of beast fighting, these characters might have vastly different strengths. But "positioning" means treating them like bosses in the story. It won't make a boss from a previous game look like a weakling when they are easily killed in my game.

Ruganoga is a clone of the Ancient King, so it will be killed by the clone of the Super Tai. In the original work, O50 indicated that the Rainbow Dragon would die from the Earth's explosion, so here it dies from a planet-destroying attack. However, it is given a performance worthy of its BOSS status (fighting fiercely with the clone of the Ancient King to the point of both sides unleashing their ultimate attacks, and even defeating Maga Orochi). In short, the character's positioning and performance are generally consistent with its status in the original work, with some enhancements and some minor nerfs, but the overall treatment is in line with its status in the original work. This is the principle of positioning (of course, there will be special cases, such as Pandun).

If you really like to view the Ultraman series through the lens of a beast-fighting mentality, then my suggestion is to go back to your Super Beast Bar, Woof Bar, Obi-O Bar, or similar places.

Chapter 115 I am, Super Gaia~

“What, me?” I pointed to myself.

"Otherwise, who else is there? You're the only one who has withstood energy far exceeding their own capacity without being overwhelmed, and instead evolved and became stronger because of it." The Plaisher alien shrugged.

"Huh?" I remember there are many examples in the Ultraman series of aliens and monsters absorbing power to become stronger.

Oh, those people aren't here, then it's alright.

During the conversation, the Kirieloid with the severed arm flew past them, yelling, "Ughhhhhhh!!!!"

"Brothers, use whatever ideas you have right now, we're about to collapse!!!" The Slan aliens on the front lines were practically running themselves ragged.

After several key aliens withdrew from the front lines, the pressure suddenly spiked to its peak. If it weren't for the large number of monsters acting as filler monsters, Ruganoga would have already breached the front lines.

"There's no time, let's give it a try!" Seeing the urgency of the situation, the group didn't waste any more words. Baltan immediately released clones that attached themselves to the Presher alien, the Mefilas alien, the Hipporito alien, the Godler alien, and the Yapool alien, while it itself attached itself to Imu. Then, under Baltan's control, the six figures turned into blue light and merged into Imu's body.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Gaia. Whether it was the aliens who were still filling in the lines or the alien viewers who were watching the scene through the interstellar live broadcast, their hearts were in their throats.

If the fusion fails, or even if Gaia explodes, then everyone will be completely helpless against Ruganoga. Perhaps in the end, they can only resort to the old methods from the Great Space War, using countless fleets, warriors, monsters, etc. to try to overwhelm the opponent. However, whether this tactic will actually overwhelm the opponent or increase the power of resentment is unknown.

Six beams of light entered Gaia's body, and after a brief pause, Gaia's body instantly emitted a dazzling light, growing taller and larger by more than a size, while the patterns and shapes on her body also changed.

Having successfully merged with a powerful member of the Interstellar Alliance, Gaia's aura immediately surged, increased dramatically, and intensified. At this moment, his aura was more than fifty times stronger than ever before, and his height expanded from the original 50 meters to 70 meters, equivalent to Ruganoga. At the same time, his body was covered with patterns that were completely different from before.

"Success!" Everyone who saw this cheered. Even those who weren't there in person could feel the unparalleled power just by seeing the performance on the screen.

I clenched my fist, feeling an unprecedented surge of power coursing through my body. If it were me now, I could easily annihilate all my former enemies with a single move. All those enhancements and fusion modifications of Sphia would be as laughable as mayflies trying to shake a giant tree in front of Gaia at this moment.

"Zhua!" I tried to gather my strength and unleash a light bullet from my right fist. The golden-red light bullet crossed the battlefield in an instant and accurately hit Ruganoga in the chest. Ruganoga, who had been unharmed after taking five M87 combined attacks, was now sent flying backward and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

"Hiss..." The other aliens were all stunned by what they saw.

This is a power that truly surpasses everyone else; a casual strike can surpass all previous efforts. If there had been such a powerful being in the universe before, perhaps the Interstellar Alliance would never have been established, and the order of the universe would depend entirely on the other party's attitude.

"Should this be called Super Gaia, or Infinite Gaia?" I couldn't help but chuckle as I imagined the synthesis recipe for this form.

However, I don't know if it's because the compatibility between aliens and Ultraman is not good, but I can feel that there is a certain sense of disharmony in this form. The fusion time is probably limited, so we must finish this battle quickly.

Thinking of this, I immediately got up and stepped forward, instantly teleporting across the battlefield to appear in front of Ruganoga. I picked it up with one hand, then clenched my fist and threw a straight punch at its face. Amidst the intense sparks, Ruganoga fell backward to the ground.

Ruganoga, lying on the ground, did not rush to get up. Instead, as she fell, she suddenly unleashed a combined beam of light from her head and hands, the three beams striking Gamu at near-zero distance.

In that instant, everyone almost forgot to breathe. The power of Ruganoga's triple attack was evident to all. Lugiel had died from this attack before. Even if Gaia could now overwhelm Ruganoga in close combat, could he withstand such an attack at point-blank range?

My dream's answer was... no problem!
