Moonlight team, are you awake?

However, that's a problem to be dealt with later. I refocused my attention on Gobu. At this moment, Shinjo and Yamanaka couldn't wait to activate the Texas Beam and fired a shot directly at the blue crystal where Gobu was hiding.

The crystal itself did not have any particularly special defensive capabilities. After being hit by a Texas beam, it immediately shattered into pieces, and Gob's figure was instantly exposed from within the crystal.

"Excellent! This cannon is indeed incredibly powerful!" Yamanaka, a sharpshooter, beamed with joy.

But before he could even rejoice, Gobu suddenly fired a golden light bullet from his forehead after getting up. Due to the high speed, Shinjo, who was in charge of piloting the aircraft, had no time to react. Although he adjusted the position of the fighter jet as quickly as possible, he was still hit in the tail and had to make an emergency landing immediately.

"It's starting." I was very calm; this unfolding was entirely within his expectations.

"Par, switch to autopilot mode, I'm going to get on." I dream took out the Blue Sapphire Cone, shouted "Gaia!", and transformed into a beam of golden-red light, landing on the ground. The earth responded enthusiastically to him.

"It's Gaia! We're saved!" The people who were making an emergency landing in the mountains were overjoyed again.

I dreamt of assuming a standard fighting stance, staring intently at Gobu.

As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, there won't be any suspense in this battle, because he knows Gob's skill set perfectly. Gob's three main attacks are the flash shot to his forehead, the scythe slashes on his arms, and the powerful tail whip. Other than that, there's nothing else worth noting.

As expected, Gobu fired a flashbang first, but Imu, who was prepared, easily blocked it with his arms. Then Gobu rushed forward and swung his scythes at Imu. Imu took several steps back and made a hand gesture to the fighter jet piloted by Saijo Nagi.

Saijo Nagi immediately understood. Taking advantage of Gamu's continuous retreat, she aimed the Texas Beam at the unsuspecting Gob and hit Gob's horn with a precise shot. Gob, who was originally on a strong momentum, was directly hit and was stunned.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I Meng, who had already created some distance, crossed her arms in a T-shape to gather power. With Gobu unable to dodge, she decisively used Quantum Stream, hitting Gobu directly in the head. A few seconds later, Gobu exploded from the head and died on the spot.

After using Quantum Stream, I felt slightly tired, but the timer on my chest hadn't flashed yet. Obviously, Quantum Stream, as Gaia's basic ultimate move, didn't have very high energy consumption or power, but it was still enough to take down an ordinary monster like Gob.

Meanwhile, on a nearby mountain peak, the streamer, who had just started his live stream, awkwardly explained to the chat: "Sorry, I'm a little late. It seems this match is already over."

The live chat immediately filled with complaints: "What?! We just took our pants off, and it's already over?" (+9999)

"The streamer needs to be a little more agile! Otherwise, he won't even be able to eat hot shit in time!" (+9999)

"Hey upstairs, be a little more lenient with pretty girls." (+12)

"Heh, judging from that lewd tone upstairs, you're a Balky alien, aren't you? You should know your shame!" (+9999)

"What have we Balky aliens done to you?" (+6)

"I, a Baltan alien, openly despise the Balki aliens. Like if you agree!" (+99999)

Just as the viewers were buzzing with excitement in the comments, a sharp-eyed alien suddenly noticed something: "Look everyone, what's that flying over from the other side?"

After being alerted, the others, including Photon, finally noticed a sphere emitting blue light flying from the distant horizon. Imu, who also noticed it, immediately felt a chill run down her spine: "What the hell?! A Sphia life form???"

These things appear and disappear mysteriously, often suddenly appearing in certain places without warning, and radar cannot detect them.

If they were just spheres, I wouldn't be afraid even if the red light was flashing; one shuriken bullet could wipe out a whole bunch of them.

What truly terrified me was that these things possessed an incredibly powerful assimilation ability. Whether it was machinery, stone, or the corpses of dead monsters, they could directly fuse and assimilate to create new Specia chimeras. Moreover, the stronger the materials, the stronger the chimera that would be created, theoretically with no upper limit to its strength.

Right now, the most suitable material for fusion is... Gob's body parts!

"I knew things wouldn't be that simple!"

I was just thinking that this hellish dungeon wasn't so hellish after all, and that the battle with Gob was pretty easy, but then a big surprise came right away.

Without saying a word, he frantically hurled shuriken bullets from his hand, trying his best to snipe at the Sphia lifeforms. Although Saijo Nagi, who was piloting the fighter jet next to him, did not understand why Gaia was so frightened, she had no need to hold back against the enemy. She immediately piloted the fighter jet to continuously shoot down the Sphia lifeforms.

However, this group of Sfia lifeforms was clearly prepared. Although many of them were shot down, a large portion of them still managed to land successfully, wrapping around Gob's body parts, quickly assimilating, and then coalescing together.

In just a few seconds, Gob's body was reshaped, and he even had the green glowing organs that were unique to the Sphia chimera.

I was numb in my dream, but the chat on the other side of the screen went wild with excitement.

"Wow, I just finished defeating the monster and Sphia took over. I knew things wouldn't be that simple!" (+5684)

"Host, the real show is about to begin, make sure you finish filming properly!" (+9999)

"Haha, although I can't see any expression on the giant's face, I have a feeling that the red giant is cursing in his heart?" (+9999)

"He probably doesn't have much energy left after fighting Gob, right? This is going to be interesting. Could it be that this giant will also be parasitized by Sphia later?" (+6654)

"Upstairs, probably not. Those who have witnessed Sfia's methods would rather self-destruct than leave a corpse behind." (+9999)

"Yeah, if it were me, I'd self-destruct. I'd never leave a corpse behind. It's disgusting to have your body desecrated by this thing!" (+9999)

Besides the explosion of comments, the number of gifts and rewards also surged immediately. The appearance of Sfia alone boosted the show's entertainment value to the maximum. The streamer received more than 600 coins in rewards on the spot. If nothing unexpected happens, the revenue from this live stream will be at least 1000 coins, enough to rent a missile super beast.

Unlike the audience, I was devastated. His only consolation was that he had just used the Quantum Stream Blade, not the Photon Ice Blade, otherwise he would probably be glowing red by now.

"The only thing we can do now is wait for Brother Tazi to send reinforcements." I Meng stared cautiously at Sfiagobu.

Chapter Ten: I'll Shoot Him Down!

Having merged with the Sfia life form, Gob's roars generated much stronger sonic vibrations, making his voice sound somewhat eerie.

I dare not act rashly now, because I do not know what level Gob, who has merged with the Sfia life form, is at now.

The quality of Specia chimeras varies. In addition to the purity of the materials used in the synthesis, the degree of evolution of the Specia Sphere itself also plays a role. For example, when fused with Martian soil, the first generation of Neodarambill fused with more Martian base debris than the second generation, but its strength was far inferior to the second generation. This indicates that the Specia Sphere's fusion efficiency increases as it creates more and more chimeras.

To explain this using a game analogy, the stats of the Specia Fusion Beast will increase with each version update. With the same fusion materials, the monster fused in the early stages might only be slightly stronger than the V1 version, while in the later stages, you might need the SV version to fusion.

The fusion value of the Sfia Sphere is probably not very high yet, otherwise, with the original owner and Fujimiya, those two fledgling V1s, it would have been impossible to replace a powerful person like Neogaigaraed.

However, the tricky part is that the Sphia chimeras all have one thing in common: a warp barrier shield, which is very effective against both physical and light attacks.

As an Ultraman, what I fear most is not the enemy's high attack, but the enemy's high defense, especially those with shield skills. Almost none of them are easy to deal with. Other Ultramen can only last for three minutes. Although Gaia has no time limit, he cannot fight indefinitely. He will still lose his fighting ability when his stamina is depleted.

While I was trying to avoid battle, Gob wouldn't give him that chance. Having merged with the Sphia life form, it became incredibly confident and launched a massive charge against me.

I tentatively fired a few shuriken bullets at it, and as expected, a blue subspace barrier appeared on Gob's body, blocking all the attacks.

Gob charged straight at my dream with incredible speed, his powerful scythe-like arm slashing down at me. My dream could only barely block it, and judging from the force of the blow, Gob's power level was about 1.5 times stronger than V1, but weaker than V2.

Fortunately, this enhancement isn't insurmountable; it's still manageable.

Imu kept retreating, trying to avoid a direct confrontation with Sfiagob, while Saijo Nagi, who was piloting the fighter jet beside her, did not give up supporting Imu. She checked the remaining energy reserves of the fighter jet and chose to continue firing the Texas Beam to support Imu.

However, Gob, possessing a subspace barrier, was no longer afraid of the Texas Beam attack. It easily blocked the beam with its barrier and continuously released a large number of enhanced light bullets from above. The moment Saijo Nagi maneuvered her fighter to the side to dodge, the light bullets suddenly exploded, turning into scattered needle-like beams that instantly destroyed the side of the fighter. Saijo Nagi had no choice but to parachute out immediately.

Based on the principle of annihilation, Gob continued to pursue, but seeing that the situation was not good, Gamu grabbed Gob by the horn on its head and pressed its head down, which allowed Saijo Nagi to land successfully and escape disaster.

But Meng was in a terrible situation. After he got face to face with Gobu, he was hit by the light bullets that the other party released at point-blank range. What was worse, these light bullets exploded and turned into needle-shaped beams, which shot densely all over Meng. Sparks kept flying off his body, and the timer started flashing after only a few seconds.

Gob was about to press its advantage and finish off Womeng in one fell swoop, but as soon as it took a step, the ground beneath its feet suddenly collapsed, and Gob, caught off guard, sank one foot into the soil. Then, Taganula emerged from the soil beside it, clearly its handiwork.

Upon seeing Taganura appear, I immediately had an idea. He gestured to Taganura, signaling her to attack him from both sides.

Taganura immediately understood and ran to the side, forming a pincer attack with WoMeng from the front and back. WoMeng thought to himself, "The warp shield can only defend one side. If both sides attack at the same time, Gob won't be able to defend against it."

The next second, I almost cursed again, because Gob's head split open, and another face grew out of the back of his head.

"No way, buddy, what the hell are you doing???" I never expected that Gob, after being possessed by Sfia, could be so evil. Fortunately, it only grew two faces instead of splitting into two, otherwise I would have split apart.

The live stream viewers who witnessed this scene were also thrilled.

"Hahahaha, this is such a hilarious spectacle! They tried to attack from both sides, but the giant just split up completely. I bet he's mentally broken by now."

"As expected of a hellish dungeon, it was the right thing for me to escape overnight."

"Only our great Dada aliens can handle this situation."

"Upstairs, what the hell are you talking about? Do you think I, a Baltan, am dead? Like this post if you agree that Baltan annihilated Dada!" (+999999)

"You motherfucker, Baltan, you used a clone to rig the vote, didn't you?"

"What, you're not convinced?"

"Damn it, DM me your address, I want to fight you one-on-one!"

After that, both comments went silent, clearly indicating that they had gone to chat privately.

Looking at the situation before him, Guangzi felt both happy and worried. He was happy because the unpredictable battlefield situation had resulted in a substantial amount of gifts and rewards. He had already received 900 coins so far, and he estimated that he would earn close to 2,000 coins by the end of the game. However, he was worried about how Gaia could win in this situation. What if Gaia died here? Who would take her home?

I was also feeling a chill run down my spine at that moment, and couldn't think of any good ideas.

Just then, a regular pistol ray flew through the air, striking Gobu and creating small sparks. I looked down and saw that Saijo Nagi and Shinjo, who had crashed, were providing fire support with ground weapons.

Although the damage was practically negligible, I'm still very grateful that they were willing to risk their lives to help me even at this point.

But what he was more concerned about was whether Gobu was too lazy to block, didn't react in time, or had some other reason.

Gob then pulled his leg out of the ground, and the moment he regained his footing, a subspace barrier appeared on his body, blocking the subsequent shots from the people on the ground.

It was this moment that made me suddenly realize that perhaps Gob, like Zetton, was unable to use the subspace barrier when his body could not maintain its balance. Thinking back carefully, Dyna had also used his psychic powers to hang up the Spectral chimera and then use his skills to kill it.

I immediately conveyed my thoughts to Taganura using Ultraman telepathy, and the latter immediately plunged into the ground and began digging frantically.

Gobu, who was fighting against Sfia Gobu alone, quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. Gobu restrained Gobu with his hands and began to charge up his head to prepare to fire a flash shot at point-blank range. Just at the critical moment, the ground beneath Gobu collapsed again, and half of his body sank into the soil. At the same time, a beam of light was fired from the soil, directly blasting a crater in Gobu's body.

Although Sfia quickly repaired the pit, that incident completely proved that my dream's conjecture was correct.

Without the slightest hesitation, I Meng decided to take the gamble. He jumped back to create distance, then concentrated all his energy in his head, condensing a photon ice blade. Meanwhile, Taganura clung tightly to Gob's leg on the ground, preventing it from breaking free.

With all his might, I poured a burst of photon ice blades into Gobu's body. Gobu was like someone holding their breath to the limit, releasing as much energy as possible until they were completely exhausted. Gobu's body didn't even have time to explode before it was completely destroyed from head to tail by the high-temperature photon ice blades. His feet, buried in the ground, were also burned off by Taganura.

I'm genuinely worried that if we leave some corpses behind for the other party, and then Sfia takes them over, it will be a real dead end.

Not only this time, but he will also try his best to burn the other party completely in the future, and not give Sfia any chance. Fortunately today it was just a Gob. If he encounters Sfia when he fights a tough guy like the Destroyer Demon, then he will really be helpless.

After firing the photon ice blade, everything went black before my eyes, my body turned into light particles and dissipated, and I collapsed to the ground unconscious.

I don't know how much time passed, but I felt an itch on my face. After struggling to open my eyes, I found that it was Guangzi touching me with her fingers.

"You're awake?" Seeing that I dreamed of opening my eyes, she couldn't wait to take out her phone and show it to me: "Your last-minute reaction was amazing! The comments were all saying you were very decisive. Look, we got a total of 2300 coins in this round. Counting the money we saved up before, we can already rent a pretty good monster!"

"That's great..." I struggled to sit up, looked around, and realized that I seemed to be in Guangzi's rented room.

"Why am I here?"

"Is there even a question? I carried you back for you. The wind is so strong in the mountains. If I hadn't brought you back, you would have had a stroke."

"No, you carried this back from Hokkaido for me???" I was a little confused.

"You don't need to know so much about aliens."

Chapter Eleven: Order Placed, King Black!

"We have about 3000 coins now, right?" I asked.

"Yes, normally you might not earn this much even if you play three games, but today's show was very entertaining, and everyone enjoyed it, so a lot of gifts were sent."

"What kind of monsters are available at this price point? I want to see if there are any suitable ones. Let's buy one as a backup, otherwise I'm really afraid that something unexpected might happen next time and it'll just kill me."

Today's combination of the Persian-Ferdinand life form and the Destruction-bringing entity completely stunned my dream. A V2-level enemy suddenly appeared in a V1 dungeon. Isn't this just messing with his mentality?

Fortunately, the first thing I did at the start of the game was to protect Taganura, and then I quickly established a partnership with Taganura. No sooner had I established the partnership than I faced Bazanga's offensive, followed shortly by the attack from Gob and the Sfia lifeforms.

It's fair to say that if he had hesitated even a moment at the start of the game, or acted a little slower, without his teammate Taganura, he might already be finished.

If becoming partners with Taganura was the right choice I made in my dream, then encountering Photon was mostly due to luck.

Before meeting Photon, I never dreamed that I could get help from the outside world, but now, he can start to consider hiring a monster to work for him.

Buy a monster with decent strength to keep in reserve. When the enemy attacks again, you can decide whether to use it depending on the situation. It can save your life in a critical situation, and you can save it if the situation is not critical, since there is no time limit on the number of times you can use it.

Photon scrolled through the screen for a while, then showed me monsters priced between 2000 and 3000.

[Snow Maiden Monster Snog 1500 Star Coins/Use 100,000 Star Coins Lifetime Use Origin: Black Star Rating: 3/5]

[Regenerated Monster Kielong Star Beast 2000 Star Coins/Use 200,000 Star Coins Lifetime Use Origin: Kielong Star Rating: 3.5 stars]

【Zaragas the Transforming Monster 2500 Star Coins/use, 30 Star Coins/lifetime use, origin unknown, rating: four stars】

[Bodyguard Monster Black King: 3000 Star Coins/use, 300,000 Star Coins/lifetime use. Produced by Nackle Alien. Rating: 5 stars]

"Black King's rating is so high?" I couldn't help but be curious, so I asked Photon to open the details page to see why the rating was so high. You know, the Zetton and Galactron of the Zettonian aliens only have a rating of 4.5. So far, he has only seen the Zetton of Balt with a rating of 5 stars. I didn't expect Black King's rating to be so high.

Photon opened the details page and then read out Black King's traits to me in my dream.

"As a bodyguard monster, Black King not only possesses outstanding combat abilities, but its greatest strength is that it always prioritizes protecting its employer's life and carrying out its orders under any circumstances. So far, Black King has never disobeyed orders or harmed its employer, making it 100% reliable."

"In addition, the Nackle aliens have built a 'modulation' function into Black King. Employers can freely modify Black King's abilities according to their own needs. Under the premise that the total ability remains unchanged, employers can change Black King's ability tendencies themselves, and can also educate Black King independently to cultivate Black King's ability to react to various situations."

Clearly, the Black King's five-star rating isn't based on its top-tier stats, but rather on its absolute reliability and unparalleled customization features at its price point.

After careful consideration, I realized that this evaluation did indeed fit Black King. After being professionally trained by Nackle, this thing could even withstand the Specium Ray and the Ultra Bracelet. Its basic stats were excellent, it was highly malleable, and it was loyal and reliable. No wonder it received a five-star rating.

I looked at the evaluations of the other monsters. The Snow Woman Monster had high stats, but it wasn't very obedient. There was a record of it going berserk and hurting its employer in the hiring records. The Giedramon Monster, on the other hand, wouldn't go berserk and had top-notch defense, but its attack power was relatively weak. It was only suitable as a tank in the front row and couldn't become the main DPS in a battle.

The Zaragas has no obvious flaws, and its 4.5 rating is quite fair.

"The rating and price of a monster are not entirely determined by its combat power. Yapool's Super Beasts are generally priced lower than monsters of the same level, not because the Super Beasts are flawed, but because Yapool's production is too high, leading to a price reduction. Some monsters may not have high stats, but they are very useful, so their prices and ratings are higher. On the other hand, some monsters with outstanding stats have unsatisfactory prices and ratings due to reliability and other reasons. Please choose according to your own needs." Photon read out the announcement on the trading platform.

"In addition, some merchants have hidden products that are only unlocked after a certain number of purchases are made at that merchant."
