Moonlight team, are you awake?

A curtain-like barrier instantly appeared around Gaia, and Ruganoga's attack melted away as if a toy water gun had hit tempered glass.

Immediately afterwards, I raised one hand and used my powerful psychic energy to grab Ruganoga from the ground. Then, I clasped my hands together and a transparent barrier enveloped Ruganoga. No matter how much it struggled, it could not escape. Countless Hipporito tar instantly wrapped it tightly, and a few seconds later, Ruganoga was turned into a bronze statue.

Of course, at this moment, Ruganoga was only sealed by the tar and temporarily lost its ability to move; this alone could not kill it.

After successfully subduing Ruganoga, I immediately began to charge up my beam of energy on the spot.

Although the combined form is similar to Ultraman Tai, at this moment, Imu cannot fire the exact same Cosmic Miracle Ray. Perhaps that thing is exclusive to the Ultra Brothers.

The beam he fired was a Cosmic Streamer, a fusion of Gaia's Streamer and the beam skills of six aliens. It was fired in a form similar to a photon streamer and exploded the moment it hit Ruganoga. The opponent's tough body was swept from head to tail, annihilating it without leaving a trace.

After Ruganoga exploded, countless wailing and howling sounds rang out around it. These were the vengeful spirits that had merged into Ruganoga. In essence, they were not souls in the traditional sense, but monsters formed by the combination of their anger and resentment from their previous lives with residual energy. They were no longer related to their original selves. If the original selves still had their consciousness, then most of the warriors who participated in the war would not have chosen to return as undead to wreak havoc on their homeland.

In my dream, I gathered energy in front of my chest and emitted a soft light from the timer. The vengeful spirits covered by the light gradually calmed down and melted away one after another like snow under the sun.

This is the bitter fruit of billions of years of great war in the universe, which I have now completely quelled in my dream. If these vengeful spirits are not purified, they may reunite and become new enemies in due time.

At this moment, the fusion time reached its limit, and Gaia instantly disintegrated and returned to its original form. The aliens were all lying on the ground, looking weak.

"Although the combined form is very powerful, it really takes a lot of energy," the Hipporito said weakly, lying on the ground.

"It will probably take a month to fully recover," Mefilas said, panting heavily.

The Baltan alien responsible for acting as the fusion medium said, "Perhaps it's because the fusion compatibility is bad. If we were of the same race as Gaia, this problem shouldn't have occurred."

"In short, it's good that we won. If we had lost to that guy, we would have been in big trouble." The Plaiser alien lay on the ground, feeling fortunate.

The timer on my chest started flashing. If we were on Earth, I wouldn't be afraid of the timer flashing, as long as I'm safe. But in outer space, the timer flashing is a real emergency. If I run out of energy and revert to my human form in outer space, I'll have to go and keep company with the ultimate life form.

"I should go back." I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Interstellar Alliance joined forces with us to deal with Ruganoga. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to defeat such a monster if I were on my own.

To some extent, the Interstellar Alliance has indeed taken on some of the responsibilities of the Kingdom of Light in this universe without it. Although none of its members have exactly clean backgrounds, they are truly willing to step up in the face of various major crises.

"Good luck." The Plaisher alien lying on the ground struggled to sit up and reminded me, "Your opponents on Earth... Sphia and the Destruction Bringer's last trump card, no, perhaps not even their last trump card. I've tried fighting them before... They're stronger than Ruganoga. Maybe even if we combine our powers, we can't win. You should make plans soon..."

This news undoubtedly sent chills down my spine. Only he and a few other people involved knew how powerful the combined force was. But the Pleisha alien actually said that even if they combined, they might not be able to defeat Sphia and the Destruction Summoning Body. Just how strong is this group's ultimate trump card?

However, I quickly came to terms with it.

The situation seems no different from when it started. Even if we can't win in the end, we still have to fight hard now. It's like how people will eventually die, but we can't stop living well now just because we'll die eventually.

Chapter 116 Natural Control Machine - Red Temperature

After Ruganoga was destroyed, Zetton brought me, whose energy was nearly depleted, back to Earth in a dream.

The moment her feet touched the ground, I, who had been looking weak, suddenly perked up as if she had been injected with adrenaline.

"As expected, I still need to be on my own turf." With the energy support from the earth, I instantly regained my vitality.

Because he was in a hurry to return to Earth, Zetton did not specifically choose a landing point. I looked up and glanced around, and found myself in a lush and dense forest, surrounded by dense vegetation and fresh air.

Moreover, despite the lush vegetation, there were no annoying insects.

"It seems we've landed in some primeval jungle. No wonder the air is so fresh." I took a deep breath of the fresh jungle air and was about to leave with Zetton when Zetton suddenly frowned, turned around abruptly, and shielded I with his arm behind him.

"Who goes there?!" Jaden shouted sharply at the person in front of him.

"Extraordinary insight, indeed." A clear, girlish voice rang out from behind a large tree not far away. Immediately afterward, a figure flashed out from behind the tree, revealing herself to be a young girl.

She looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with long, jet-black hair tied high in a ponytail that swayed gently with her steps. She wore a simple, neat black top and shorts, layered with a white vest, giving her a clean and capable look. Her skin was as white as porcelain, and her long, slender legs beneath her shorts were particularly striking, like the finishing touch in a painting.

"You are..." The moment I saw the other person, my eyes widened. He recognized this woman!

But this reaction was a different story in Jaden's eyes. She bit her lip and said with some resentment, "My dream, is she someone you...acquaintance? But I feel that she is full of hostility."

“No, I don’t know her at all.” Meng quickly waved her hand to distance herself: “The reason I was surprised is because I recognized her identity.”

"Her identity?" Jaden asked, puzzled.

I didn't explain further, but stepped forward and called out to the girl from a distance, "I was just wondering why there were no animals or insects in such a good ecological environment. Now that I see you, I understand."

"Oh?" The other party was also taken aback. She had originally jumped out to try and outmaneuver Womeng with her intelligence, but she didn't expect Womeng to have seen through everything right away.

"You are a projection of the natural control machine, aren't you? If I'm not mistaken, this forest was also created by you using the natural control machine not long ago."

My dream's words shocked the other person: "How is this possible? Shouldn't you have just returned to Earth? Why are you...?"

"You think you can play the expert with such petty tricks? Save your breath," I scoffed.

The other person's attire and appearance were clearly the image projected by the Deep Green Natural Control Machine in episode 46 of Gaia TV. However, what impressed people most about that episode was not the Natural Control Machine itself, but the sheer number of high-quality beauties in that episode.

After a brief moment of panic, the other party quickly regained his composure and sneered, "As expected of the light of Earth chosen by the planet, it seems there's a reason you were chosen. But so what? You're nothing but a flawed will of Earth."

"How dare she say my dream is wrong!" Jeton couldn't stand it and was about to slap her twice, but my dream stopped him. "Don't rush, listen to how she's raving."

At this moment, Deep Green, like a confident Wang Situ, said to my dream: "You are the chosen light of the earth, yet you only know how to protect humanity, completely forgetting that protecting the earth is your true mission."

"Is there a conflict between protecting the Earth and protecting humanity?" I asked leisurely.

"Of course there are. Humans, like invaders from outer space, are the culprits who have destroyed Earth!"

I whispered in Jaden's ear, "The classic theory of human guilt is something idiots love to say all the time."

Unaware of the danger, Deep Green continued, "Humans only greedily and recklessly take from nature. Forests are being cut down in large quantities, greenhouse gases are being emitted in large quantities, environmental pollution is getting worse day by day, and the ecosystem is deteriorating. If this continues, humanity will eventually suffer the consequences!"

"so what?"

"The arrival of our natural control machines is a manifestation of the Earth's will; foolish humanity should perish under the power of nature!"

"Hilarious." I dreamt I was about to pull out the Blue Sapphire Cone when the dark green figure opposite me shouted, "Gaia, the Light of Earth! Are you going to be a traitor to Earth? Are you going to protect these humans who keep harming our planet?!"

I calmly replied, "If you want to wipe out humanity, isn't it normal for me, as a human, to resist you?"

"What a joke! Since the beginning of life on Earth, from single-celled organisms billions of years ago to mammals and dinosaurs that once dominated the planet, no one has ever resisted the forces of nature, nor has anyone been able to resist them!"

"So it perished," I replied nonchalantly.

"......!" The other person was clearly taken aback, but quickly regained their composure and asked in return, "The Earth has inflicted so many natural disasters on humanity, so many earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Has humanity ever thought of taking revenge on the Earth?"

"That's why the environment is polluted."

"...You! That's sophistry, that's utter nonsense!"

"Aren't you the same?" I asked calmly. "What are you talking about? Environmental pollution, greenhouse gases, global warming. How can you think the Earth cares about these things?"

"With the climate becoming so harsh, does the Earth not care?" Deep Green laughed.

"Sigh, where exactly did you load your database from, the environmentalist girl?" Imu shook her head, stepped forward, and began casting a spell: "Is rising temperature a big problem for Earth? Earth once collided with a celestial body the size of Mars. At that time, the entire surface of Earth became a sea of ​​lava, and Earth became a fireball."

"The Earth was once overwhelmed by oxygen levels due to an algal bloom, which nearly wiped out all life on the ground."

"The Earth has also experienced many ice ages, and the entire Earth has turned into a snowball."

"As for volcanic eruptions causing volcanic ash to cover the earth, asteroid impacts, mass extinctions leaving no living things on the surface, torrential rains lasting millions of years, or severe droughts, what hasn't the earth experienced? The little commotion that humans have caused is nothing compared to the earth's own life experiences. Look at your shrewd and ignorant attitude."

"So-called environmental protection is nothing more than human self-preservation. Even in the most extreme environments, the Earth is indifferent. The only things that matter are the creatures living on Earth. If humans don't know how to protect the environment and end up extinct, that's humanity reaping what it sows. What does it have to do with you? You're not even human, let alone a living creature on Earth."

"If anyone's in a hurry, it's us humans, it's life on Earth. Why are you getting involved? You're just using the guise of protecting the Earth to achieve your own ulterior motives."

I Meng glanced at the other person disdainfully: "If you really care about Earth, why didn't you come to help stop Ruganoga when he came? Why were you silent when so many guys who wanted to destroy Earth came?"

"Talk to me about betraying Earth? I am the chosen successor of the Light of the Earth, personally selected by the planet. I saved Earth from destruction, and Earth's status in the interstellar world was earned by my comrades through countless battles. You? What are you?!"

"You!" The contrast on his dark green face began to increase dramatically.

"What are you? I'm asking you what you are! Do you think I don't know what you really are? You're nothing but a dog raised by the Destruction Bringer! You dare to pretend to be an envoy of Earth, running here to talk to me shamelessly about betraying Earth? What a joke! I will protect Earth, get lost!"

Chapter 117 The Phoenix's Impact!

"You........!" The projection of the natural control machine was completely speechless, and could only stomp its feet in anger.

"You came out here wanting to talk your way out of nothing, and all you've got is to stomp your feet when you get refuted. If all enemies were like you, I wouldn't need to worry about the safety of Earth." I waved my hand at it: "Get lost, or you'll get slapped in addition to stomping your feet."

But the naturally controlled machine clearly couldn't swallow this insult. It stood there, clenching its fists, seemingly ready to attack. I dreamt of this and gave it a look. Zetton immediately understood and teleported over, going full speed ahead and blasting it with a powerful punch: "I told you to get lost, didn't you hear me?"

This slap sent Deep Green flying backward like a spinning top, instantly giving it a Toei-style, wide-eyed, defeated expression on the ground. It covered its face, glared hatefully at Gamu and Zetton, and then disappeared on its own.

After the deep green projection disappeared, the entire forest began to tremble rapidly. A large number of vines and thorns began to spread everywhere, like venomous snakes flicking their tongues as they rolled towards my dream.

"Looks like they're really in a hurry." I Meng remained calm and had Zetton teleport her away from the scene before the vines could wrap around her.

Although I could transform right here, find the Dark Green body, dig it out, and give it a good beating, I always felt that things weren't that simple. Would Dark Green dare to act recklessly at this time? Although the other party is brain-dead, I don't believe they can be that brain-dead.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to his residence, he felt a wave of heat hit him, and the perceived temperature instantly rose to around 40°C.

This was still indoors. When I went outside, the temperature was soaring, and the streets were sparsely populated. The few pedestrians who did come were carrying newly bought fans and water and other supplies, and everyone else must have been staying at home.

"The natural control machine Yanshan?" Thinking of the deep green that had just appeared, I immediately guessed the source of the high temperature.

Such high temperatures were clearly beyond the limits of human endurance. Just as I was pondering this, a resident in the next room screamed in despair, "It's so hot! It's so hot! Aaaaaaahhhhhh! Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

"This can't go on." I could feel the high temperature in the air. If it continued, young people might be able to withstand it, but the elderly and children would definitely have problems.

He pulled out the Blue Sapphire Cone and transformed into Gaia, landing on the ground. The loud noise attracted many people to peer out of the windows. When they discovered that it was Gaia, hope welled up in their hearts.

"It's Gaia!"

"Did Gaia come to save us?"

"If Gaia appears, the problem will be solved, right?"

In just one month, even ordinary humans have developed a deep trust in Gaia. With such a high attendance rate, it can maintain a 100% win rate and even solve natural crises such as volcanic eruptions. Such an ally is impossible not to trust.

Without hesitation, I leaped into the air and soared high above. Then, gathering energy, I unleashed a blizzard of azure blue, shimmering Gaia towards the city below. I controlled the intensity, causing the temperature to drop slowly and steadily, gradually decreasing to the mid-twenties. Feeling the heat subside, the crowd cheered and ran into the streets, shouting to Gaia in the sky, "Thank you, Gaia!" "Gaia is truly invincible!" "Thank you for everything!"

I nodded slowly to the crowd below, then began to calmly feel the heat source around me.

Even if the temperature drops now, it won't be long before it rises again as long as Yanshan is still there. We have to destroy Yanshan itself.

Moreover, now that both Deep Green and Flame Mountain have appeared, there's no reason for the Celestial Realm to remain unaffected.

In the original storyline, there were three natural control machines: the Celestial Realm, the Flame Mountain, and the Deep Green. The Celestial Realm's ability was to create powerful storms. Although the storms would clear away harmful components from the air, the buildings and creatures on the ground would also be completely destroyed. The Flame Mountain's ability was to create high temperatures, and the Deep Green's ability was to cover the earth with endless green plants. All three of them shared the same philosophy: "Only the Earth's environment is spared, not its creatures."

At first glance, the three of them seem to be extreme environmentalists, single-mindedly devoted to the Earth, with no regard for humanity, appearing to be detached from the world.

But when you put their actions together, something doesn't seem right.

When invaders from outer space appeared, they never made a sound, even if the invaders were there with the intention of destroying Earth. The three of them remained unmoved.

They only thought about transforming the environment, making it lush, green, pollution-free, and with fresh air.

It seems they don't want any life on Earth to survive. Whether it's the Celestial Realm, the Flame Mountain, or even the Deep Green, they're not just eliminating so-called polluting humans. In fact, if humans can't withstand it, how can most other creatures possibly withstand it?

The combination of not resisting invaders, insisting on altering the environment, and striving to exterminate native species makes it difficult to define the composition of these three individuals.

“I have a dream that the heatwave seems to be sweeping back in from the south,” Jaden, who was observing the situation from below, warned.

“I can feel it too. It seems that Yanshan is over there. Follow me.”

I flew directly south and found Yanshan dozens of kilometers away. The reason I was able to find him so quickly was that Yanshan had already returned to his original form and started fighting.

The targets of the battle were naturally Taganura and Deltandar. With such a commotion caused by Yanshan, Taganura and Deltandar could not possibly ignore it. After searching for a while, they dug out Yanshan's true form hidden in the mountain, forcing the opponent to show themselves and fight.

Taganura is not afraid of high temperatures because its body is extremely heat-resistant. When it is fully charged with energy, its body temperature may even be higher than that of Yanshan.

Taganura, unafraid of high-heat attacks, made Yanshan very difficult to deal with. Its fighting ability was actually only to the point that it could be thrown around by V2 Gaia. It was only because of the lightning clamp and the high-heat flame tactic that forced V2 Gaia to use SV that V2 Gaia suffered a temporary setback.

However, the high-heat attack had little effect on Taganura. Despite being an insect, it was not afraid of high temperatures, which baffled Yanshan. Moreover, it could not concentrate on fighting Taganura at all because Deltandar in the air would occasionally hit it with a cold blast.

Deltandal recently devised a new technique. After molting once, it discovered that its skin had become much tougher, and it would not be injured even if it charged at enemies at full speed. So it developed a tactic that allowed it to increase its speed to Mach 8 and then charge at enemies at full speed with its hard body. It named it "God Phoenix Impact".

Yanshan and Taganula entered a stalemate. At the beginning of the stalemate, Deltandar seized the opportunity and launched a "Godly Phoenix Impact", which directly caused Yanshan to roll on the ground more than a dozen times.

Chapter 118 No way, Ultraman is too strong!

Deltandar suddenly exerted his strength, slamming Yanshan to the ground with a powerful charge. Although Yanshan was enormous, it was no match for Deltandar's power, its massive body creating a deep crater in the ground. Immediately afterward, Taganura seized the opportunity to rush forward, swinging its scythe-like arms wildly at Yanshan, each strike producing a metallic clang and sparks flying.

When I arrived at the scene, I saw Taganura turn to look at me as soon as I landed. Her slit eyes revealed surprise and eagerness. The two then quickly communicated through telepathy.

“I dream, leave this to the two of us,” Taganura’s voice echoed in my dream’s mind. “Go to the northern sky, there is a guy there that we can’t handle.”

When I heard this, my heart tightened: "Can't handle him? Is that guy that powerful?"

Taganura calmly replied, "It's not that it's powerful, but that it can control storms in the sky. I can't do anything on the ground, and it's difficult for Moonlight alone to defeat it in a storm."

Upon hearing this, I immediately understood who their opponent was—the Celestial Realm, the natural control machine. The Celestial Realm's ability was to manipulate storms, and they usually fought in the air, making them a formidable adversary for Taganura and his companions.

"I understand. I'll leave this place to you for now. I'm going north." I nodded, then quickly flew over the fallen Flame Mountain and headed north. Zetton stood steadily on his shoulder, life-sized, ready to fight at any moment.

As they headed north, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and the air became increasingly fresh. This signified that they had passed through the defense zone of Flame Mountain and entered the territory controlled by the Celestial Realm. The fresh air invigorated Meng, but it also meant that the Celestial Realm might not be so easy to deal with.

Before even seeing the true location of the Celestial Realm, I could feel the surrounding air speed gradually increasing. The wind speed quickly reached a level that even the Giant of Light found difficult to fly. The air began to scrape against his body like blades; if a normal Earth creature were here, even if it wasn't injured, it wouldn't be able to breathe properly.
