Moonlight team, are you awake?

Chapter 130 A New Day

thump

At 3 a.m., after fighting continuously for three hours, Guregor collapsed from exhaustion after taking down the last enemy.

"Fighting, awesome~!" The Moonlight team member standing to the side still looked very energetic.

"No, aren't you tired?" Guregor looked at it incredulously.

"Heh heh, it's only been three hours. If I were exhausted like this, I wouldn't be alive today."

"Huh???" Guregor's pupils dilated in shock. What kind of hellish dungeon had he just entered?

Three hours ago, he accidentally created about ten Sfia Bemulars due to a mistake. He thought he could easily handle them with his skill level, but unexpectedly, every time he destroyed one, he would be entangled by the others. Then, with the support of the Sfia Sphere, the destroyed Sfia Bemulars would turn into even more Sfia Bemulars.

Roughly estimating, in the past three hours, Guregor killed about 80 Sphia Bemulars. If he hadn't been forced into a full-power attack at the end, quickly taking down all the enemies and then finishing them off with beam attacks in a few seconds, the number of enemies might have exceeded 100.

At that moment, Guregor just wanted to lie on the ground and rest for a while, but the Moonlight team member sitting next to him drinking lake water suddenly looked up and said, "They should be here soon."

"What's coming soon?" Guregor shuddered.

"A new day has begun, and a new enemy should be arriving soon."

"What?" Guregor was new to the place and obviously didn't understand what "a new day has begun" meant.

At that moment, Guregor's communicator rang. He lay on the ground and tapped the screen a few times, and a bunch of private messages popped up:

[Pressure Magician]: "Little Gu, Bobo just messaged me saying that the statue in his house was stolen."

[Cosmic Fighter]: "What does the theft of the statue have to do with us...?"

[Pressure Magician]: "Of course there is a connection. That statue belonged to the former supreme ruler of Magma Star, Volugan, and the one who stole the statue, according to the testimony of eyewitnesses, should be the Sphia life form that has recently been attacking Earth."

[Cosmic Warrior]: "How can these guys be so vulgar, even stealing statues? Do they have unique tastes and enjoy appreciating the appearance of Magma aliens?"

[Pressure Magician]: "Little Gu, I've already explained it to you this clearly, why don't you still understand?"

[Cosmic Fighter]: "? What do you know?"

[Pressure Magician]: "Uncle means that the Sphia lifeform stole this thing, most likely to make it into a chimera. You need to be careful on Earth. Also, please remind Little Gai and the others on Earth."

【Cosmic Fighter】: "Are they just bored? What good is stealing a Magma alien?"

[Pressure Magician]: "You're too young to know what happened 400 million years ago."

The Plashe aliens recounted the cosmic landscape 400 million years ago.

The Chaotic Era ended 50 years ago, while 400 million years ago, everyone was fighting fiercely. At that time, almost every once in a while, a superpower or protagonist of an era would briefly appear in the universe. Volugan was an alien who once dominated for a short period of time. His era was also the most glorious period of Magma. It can be said that Volugan was the pinnacle figure in the history of Magma.

Back then, Volugan and his Gilas brothers roamed the universe, enjoying unparalleled power. Magma's sphere of influence reached its peak during that period. The Gilas brothers, who were always considered bodyguards, were actually just assistants to Volugan. Volugan himself was the main force in battle.

Volugan himself has a famous feat: without attacking its weaknesses, he defeated the parasitic monster Magnia and the tumor monster Oclin Paul, which invaded Magma, and then captured the main body of these two similar monsters. It is said that he planned to combine the two into one to create an ultimate monster without any weaknesses.

However, not long after, he lost the Twin Monsters on Earth and was severely injured and forced to flee.

The severely wounded Volugan was attacked by the Hipporito aliens seeking revenge. Without the twin monsters to dismantle Hipporito's protective shield from the outside, Volugan was ultimately defeated and became one of Hipporito's bronze statues.

What Pleasher wanted to say was simple: Volugan was a more troublesome and ruthless opponent than the Gilas brothers. If it was resurrected by Sfia, its first target would either be Magma or Earth. So he was giving them a heads-up in advance so that Guregor and Meng could prepare.

[Pressure Mage]: "After the news that Volugan might be resurrected reached us, the current Magma representative has already applied for political asylum at the Interstellar Alliance headquarters."

[Cosmic Warrior]: "Is it really that exaggerated? Why is it so afraid of its own kind?"

[Pressure Magician]: "Because Volugan is a tyrannical dictator, if he were to be resurrected and find that someone had taken his place, he would 100% kill that person. And he is the strongest Magma alien in the world, so the current Magma representative ran away without even thinking about it."

【Cosmic Fighter】: "This is so exciting... I just finished defeating 80 monsters and now I might have to fight against such a ruthless person from the history of the universe. I'm starting to understand why Tokuko said, 'Fighting is awesome!'"

[Pressure Magician]: "...It seems you're adapting well. Keep up the good work."

As it turned out, the concerns of the Magma Star representative were not unfounded. Shortly after it left Magma Star, a black figure descended from the sky. Upon landing, it casually fired a ray, killing several Magma people who were watching. Then, before the Magma Star guards could take any action, it rushed towards a desolate area at an extremely fast speed.

Four million years ago, this place was the location of his secret underground experimental base, but four million years later it has become a wasteland. He found the location of the experimental base by relying on his memory, and then used a light cannon to blast open the malfunctioning door. He searched around in the dark laboratory and finally took out a huge ball of flesh from a well-preserved sealed box, with a smug smirk on his lips.

Meanwhile, in a garden on Earth, the archaeological team that had survived the disaster were having a meal together. Although having a meal at three in the morning seemed a bit outrageous, it didn't seem strange considering their professions and identities. During the meal, one of them planted a strangely shaped seed in the garden.

"Old Hu, are you sure this seed will survive?"

"Who knows? I never expected to find such a thousand-year-old plant seed in the ruins. It might even be a cosmic variety. Let's try planting it first. Old Wu, Old Zhang, give me a hand!"

"coming!"

The group hurriedly planted the seed. If I were there, I would probably scream like a groundhog upon seeing that seed, because it was not a seed of an Earth plant, but a seed of the cosmic monster Astromus.

Chapter 131 The Fog Arrives

Under normal circumstances, once the seed of Astromus is planted, it will bloom into a Joguris flower. Once the Joguris flower has fully developed, the super-powered monster Astromus will emerge from the ground.

However, starting to develop in the form of a seed will create a problem that no one expected.

That is, it must draw energy from Earth to complete its development. However, the Earth in this world is not an ordinary planet without Earth's will, like in the Showa universe.

As the Joguris flower began to absorb nutrients, the Earth injected a small amount of Earth Light into it, thus successfully seizing control of the Joguris flower.

Simply gaining control of the Joguris flower isn't very significant for Earth's current defenses, because even though the Astromuses born after the flower blooms are under Earth's command, the Astromuses without any enhancements would only be useful as filler pieces on Earth's current defenses.

The current Earth defense line, with its multiple-strengthened Gaia V2, Zetton whose power surpasses V2, and Greiger, who can be considered a combination of Dyna's three forms, fighting on the front lines, as well as Black King, Taganura, and Deltandall who can serve as the backbone and support, is actually fully formed. Unless a monster stronger than Zetton can be introduced, simply increasing the number of monsters is meaningless, which is why I haven't bought any more monsters.

Monsters weaker than them are useless to buy; if the three of them can't handle an opponent, they'll be instantly killed no matter how many there are. Only monsters with specialized abilities might be of any use.

Therefore, even if Earth takes control of Astromuses, it seems to have only eliminated one enemy that is not particularly strong.

However, there is another way to make Astromuses useful.

When I died in the dream, my soul returned to the quantum space, where all the beings who had received the light of the earth rested. Their will and data were stored there, but because they no longer had a physical body to rely on, they could not return to the present world like I did in the dream.

However, now that Earth has fully acquired Astromus's body, it can use this body as a vessel to allow a being that once received the light of the earth to return to the ground.

However, because Astromus's body is not the original, the resurrected beings can only use their power according to Astromus's specifications. Once they use power beyond Astromus's level, their bodies will collapse in a short time, and they can only wait for the next vessel to possess.

Therefore, Earth did not rush to make the Jogolis flower bloom, but allowed it to take root and sprout on the ground like an ordinary flower, slowly developing and waiting for the right time for suitable creatures to return and reside there.

The archaeological team members who planted the Jogolis flowers were overjoyed to see the thriving flower buds early in the morning: "Wow, Lao Hu, come and see! The flowers we planted yesterday have grown so quickly. This variety is extraordinary!"

"Indeed, and the air around here seems to have become more fragrant. This flower must be a rare variety."

"We need to find a way to cultivate more."

"Sigh, for some reason, the higher-ups have issued a ban saying that we shouldn't do any more archaeology lately. All we can do for a while is stay home and grow flowers and plants."

As the group chatted, a streak of fire streaked across the sky above, flew toward the distant mountain village, and landed deep in the forest.

As professional archaeological team members, the group suddenly felt a jolt of fear throughout their bodies.

Ghosts and monsters once existed in this world. Therefore, the archaeological team did indeed unearth some unclean things during their excavations. The reason why these few people were able to become the main force of the official archaeological team was because they were very good at dealing with ghosts and monsters.

It can be said that they are equivalent to Jing Tian and Jing Long living in modern times, except that the Earth no longer has much of the light of the earth to give to ordinary people, so they do not have the heaven-defying power of Jing Tian and Jing Long.

Besides their exceptional skills and courage, another crucial factor in their survival throughout their many years of archaeological work is their strong sense of danger. They react with a jolt of fear whenever danger approaches.

"Old Hu, can you feel it?"

"That's right, Lao Zhang, I felt it too. I think the others felt the same way, right?"

"Yes, we all felt it."

"Then that's it." Captain Hu looked solemnly into the distance: "That thing that just flew overhead is definitely suspicious. Call the defense force and have them send someone over to check it out."

"Alright." Old Wang turned around and went to get the communicator.

"Old Wu, Old Zhang, Old Chen, grab your gear and come with me to check out that village over there," Captain Hu calmly gave the order.

"Let's go!" The group ran back into the house in unison to pack up their usual props.

Meanwhile, at the Defense Force headquarters, Mitsuko overheard the receptionist on the phone: "It's you guys again? Did you dig up something again this time?"

Upon hearing these keywords, Photon immediately perked up, because it sounded like the archaeological team that specializes in creating fathers had sent a message. But she remembered that the archaeological activities had been suspended after the discovery of the Kiras brothers.

The Kiras brothers' incident proved that the ancient creature remains accidentally unearthed could be used by the enemy, so the higher-ups decisively ordered the excavation to be stopped.

Although demons and monsters were unearthed before, those were hidden dangers that already existed on Earth. Unearthing them now is not necessarily a bad thing; it's better than leaving them for future generations to solve.

However, the idea of ​​ancient remains turning into monsters is too terrifying; it's like creating an extra father for yourself, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Mitsuko eavesdropped outside the door and heard someone say, "A suspicious small meteorite has fallen in a small mountain village, and the defense team is asked to investigate."

Upon hearing that it was a small meteorite, the operator inside relaxed a bit: "Are you sure it's just a small meteorite? Then there shouldn't be any powerful cosmic creatures appearing, but just to be on the safe side, I'll pass on your opinion to the New City team."

After hanging up the phone, the operator immediately contacted Shinjo and others from the defense team, while Mitsuko immediately sent the message to Imu: "It is said that a small meteorite fell in a small mountain village. Imu, do you think the problem is serious?"

While brushing my teeth at home in my dinosaur pajamas, I picked up my phone and glanced at the messages from Photon. After extracting keywords like "small mountain village" and "small meteorite," I immediately showed the same expression as "subway, old man, mobile phone."

Chapter 132 Quickly find the monster Magnia's weakness!

The combination of these keywords clearly points to Magnia.

If it were just Magnia, the problem wouldn't be too big, because Magnia's weaknesses are very obvious, and dealing with Magnia wouldn't be difficult if we knew the information.

Magnia is one of the more memorable monsters in the Tiga series. Those small, fleshy balls that fly around sucking people's blood are a childhood nightmare for many people. Even I was scared to death when I saw this thing when I was a child, and I still feel creeped out even now.

This thing is indeed very strong. It can absorb life energy from meteorites without limit. Moreover, when I was a child, I thought that the life energy it absorbed came from the villagers. But after I grew up and read the setting, I realized that the meteorite was actually a heaven-defying thing with infinite energy. As long as the meteorite exists, Magnia can absorb energy infinitely and become stronger without limit.

Without absorbing energy, Magnia would be whipped around like a spinning top by Power Type Tiga. However, after absorbing energy once, it could completely ignore Power Type Tiga's punches and kicks, standing still and letting Power Type Tiga hit it without getting hurt. After absorbing energy a second time, it could whip Power Type Tiga so hard that it rolled all over the ground. It even knocked Power Type Tiga down, and it took Power Type Tiga, which is known for its high health and durability, a lot of effort to get up. This performance is among the best in the entire Tiga series.

However, this thing also has a huge flaw, so big that Magnia, who could have become a powerful figure, can only be barely called a minor one.

Before it transforms into a monster, it moves in the form of fleshy balls floating in the air. In this state, it is extremely afraid of water. Once it comes into contact with water, it will dissolve on the spot. It can be said that even a primary school student with a good water gun could wipe out a large number of these things.

After merging into a giant monster, Magnia seems to have lost its weakness of being afraid of water, but all its power is maintained on that meteorite with infinite energy. Once the meteorite is destroyed, Magnia will immediately lose its power and become a monster of low quality.

However, although Magnia was easy to deal with, Imon seemed very anxious. He hurriedly rinsed his mouth, quickly changed into casual clothes, asked Photon for the coordinates of the meteorite's fall, and then said to Zetton, who had been standing to the side, "Use teleportation, we have to get there immediately."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zetton rarely saw me so anxious before the monster appeared. Was the monster very strong?

"That thing isn't exactly difficult to deal with, but it poses a great threat to humanity." I Meng explained briefly, basically saying that before it transforms into a monster, it will aggressively attack humans and drain their life energy. So even before it becomes a monster, I have to find a way to eliminate it quickly, otherwise the inhabitants there will suffer.

Upon hearing this, Jetton didn't hesitate at all. He immediately grabbed my dream's hand and teleported to the coordinates provided by Photon.

Since it was a mountain village, and the coordinates on the map were only accurate to the location of the mountain, the two were unable to enter the village directly, but instead appeared on the road leading up the mountain.

As soon as I landed, I saw a scene that made my scalp tingle – the hillside was covered with the corpses of all kinds of animals, from large wild boars, foxes, and badgers to small rats and snakes, all of them turned into mummies lying on the ground.

"This isn't like Magnia at all." I don't know if it's because the original work was aimed at children, so the scenes weren't filmed to be too grotesque, but I remember that Magnia in the original work wouldn't suck so many creatures into dried corpses.

Judging from this behavior, the visitor doesn't seem to be Magnia, but rather... Ochlin Paul.

Oclin Paul can be considered the Showa-era prototype of Magnia. Their relationship is similar to that of Gudon to Gadi and the Twin-Tailed Monster to Litmarus. However, Oclin Paul is much more ruthless than Magnia. Once it catches someone, it will really suck them dry. The method of sucking blood is also the same: it sends out a large number of floating fleshy balls to suck blood as soon as they catch someone.

"Damn it, could it be that everyone in the village has already..." Upon seeing this scene, Meng felt a chill run down her spine, and an uncontrollable anger surged into her heart.

The villagers in this mountain village are mostly elderly people and children; there are very few young people, as most have gone out to work and earn money. The villagers alone simply couldn't possibly resist Oaklin Paul...

"Damn it!" I immediately pulled out the Blue Sapphire Cone, transformed into Gaia, got up, and flew into the sky, starting to search for the location of the mountain village from top to bottom.

Soon, his Ultra Vision discovered the existence of the mountain village. To his surprise, he could even see people moving around in the village from high above.

"Jet, stay hidden to the side and pay close attention to your surroundings. Be careful not to be ambushed," I Meng instructed, then turned and flew towards the mountain village.

As I fell, I was surprised to find that water spraying equipment was installed in all the passageways of the village, covering the passageways with a water curtain. This water curtain was no threat to humans, and was even a bit fun, but it was an insurmountable barrier for Magnia's small parasites.

"Could it be that the opponent is really Magnia, and not Ochlin Paul?" I Meng landed on the ground with doubt. He did not revert to his human form, but landed in the form of Gaia, which was life-sized. Gaia's form was not shameful, and might even be more convenient.

After landing, I quickly found the villagers gathered in the main hall in the center of the village. When they saw Gaia descending from the sky, they all cheered, especially the young children, whose eyes almost sparkled with excitement.

"It's Gaia!"

Wow, Gaia arrived so fast!

"Waaaaah, waaaaah!" some of the children shouted excitedly.

I glanced around at the surroundings, then used my telepathy to communicate with everyone: "Please calm down. Can anyone explain to me what's going on here?"

"Let me speak." An unexpected familiar face stepped out from the crowd; it was none other than Hu, the archaeological team leader whom I had seen on the archaeological team roster before.

It turned out that not long ago, the meteorite landed deep in the forest outside the village with a piercing shriek. The old village chief, who was the first to hear the strange sound, quickly put on his coat and led a few young people from the village to investigate.

Deep in the forest, they discovered a meteorite emitting an eerie light. No, it was less of a meteorite and more of an incredible lump of flesh. The thing constantly emitted a mysterious power, scorching the surrounding vegetation with its energy until it turned yellow and withered.

Immediately afterwards, the chunk of meat began to rapidly split into many smaller chunks, which seemed to possess life and slowly began to float into the air.

Sensing something was terribly wrong, the old village chief immediately led everyone to flee the scene. Soon after, a small flying creature, barely visible to the naked eye, began to roam the mountains and forests, indiscriminately sucking the blood of humans and animals.

Clearly, these were the precursors to Magnia, small parasites. They moved about like ghosts, quickly arriving outside the mountain village, obviously considering it an excellent hunting ground.
