Moonlight team, are you awake?

I dreamed of no longer wanting to find Durban; all he wanted was to fly to Aynor immediately and throw a punch at it.

Just then, my communicator rang, and Horii's message popped up on the screen: "The strange magnetic field has appeared again, this time in the R region!"

I silently put down the communicator in my hand, turned around and walked to the hospital rooftop, raising the Blue Sapphire Cone high.

"GAIA!!!!!"

In the golden-red light, I dreamt of disappearing into the spot in the form of Gaia.

At the same time, the same situation occurred in the R region. The city was suddenly filled with noise, car horns malfunctioned, traffic lights started to change erratically, loudspeakers in front of shops began to emit noisy sounds, and screens on buildings displayed scrambled, snowy text.

As everyone looked around in bewilderment, Aenemena appeared in the center of the city, a wicked smile on its lips, its face contorted with rage as it emitted violent electromagnetic waves from its horns.

Just then, a huge figure descended from the sky, causing a violent reaction on the ground. Strangely, despite the large amount of dust that rose from the ground, the surrounding ground did not tremble, as if all the effects were only manifested under the giant's feet.

"It's Gaia!" The people in the city cheered when they saw my dream. To this day, Gaia's huge and majestic figure has long been deeply trusted and relied upon by the people.

Upon seeing Gaia appear, Aenemena maintained her confident, wicked smile and unleashed a violent electromagnetic wave towards my dream. The purple, violent electromagnetic wave quickly enveloped my dream.

Surprisingly, my dream remained completely unmoved, as if the negative effects of the violent electromagnetic waves did not exist for him.

I dreamt I raised my hand and looked at my palm: "Is this the raging electromagnetic wave? Ha, but I can't be angrier anymore."

If one is already extremely angry, even the violent electromagnetic waves cannot have much of an effect. In fact, even the anger caused by the violent electromagnetic waves is far less than one-tenth of the anger in my heart.

Ai Nengmei looked at Wo Meng in astonishment, not understanding why the violent electromagnetic waves had no effect on him. But it quickly reacted, releasing more than a dozen super-high temperature blue fireballs from the blue crystal on its forehead, bombarding Wo Meng one after another. The smoke and dust raised by the explosions temporarily engulfed Wo Meng's figure.

After a barrage of questions, Aynor, panting heavily, looked in the direction of my dream.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, I stood unharmed in the same spot, merely raising my head slightly to glance at it, yet it felt a chill run down its spine.

The next second, Ainome felt a blur before her eyes, and Imu's figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Before she could react, the horns on her shoulders were instantly severed by Imu's hand chop. The violent electromagnetic wave was also interrupted as a result, and the crowd in the city returned to normal before it could be completely controlled by the violent electromagnetic wave.

After severing the two horns, I dreamed of striking Aynor's neck with a hand chop, the powerful force causing Aynor to kneel down on the spot.

Without the slightest pity, I stomped it to the ground, crushing my enemy under my feet for the first time.

“Pick up the horn,” I suddenly said coldly.

“…?” Ai Nengmei was stunned; it didn’t understand what I was talking about.

"Pick up the horn! I'm telling you, pick up the horn!!!"

Aenemina didn't understand what this meant, but she could only do as she was told, weakly picking up her broken horns that had fallen to the ground.

Suddenly, Imu kicked Aenemina hundreds of meters away, sending her tumbling into the river that runs through the city. Then, I leaped over and grabbed Aenemina's head, repeatedly slamming it against the rocks and mud at the bottom of the river. If a stranger saw this, they might think Imu was the evil villain.

“Tell me, is controlling people’s minds fun?” I asked, grabbing Aenea’s head with one hand.

"....?"

"I noticed you always smile whenever you appear. Do you find it amusing to control others and make them kill each other?"

In fact, that's exactly what Ainengmina thought, but given the current situation, it couldn't admit it, so it could only shake its head frantically.

"If you're so boring, then you deserve to die!" I Meng suddenly stood up, kicked Aineng Meina out of the water and onto the shore, then chased after her, using Gaia Energy Punch to deliver a powerful punch to Aineng Meina's abdomen, leaving a fist mark protruding from its back.

"You know what? Humans usually like to stay with the people they love." My Dream's fist twisted around Ai Nengmei's abdomen, making her face contort, as she continued, "People affected by electromagnetic waves... the first people they hurt are the ones they love most. Parents hurt their children, lovers hurt their spouses, friends hurt their siblings. The pain and sorrow in those people's hearts are even deeper than mine."

In this precarious world, losing loved ones and friends is painful enough, but what Ainerme did was even more cruel: making people who love each other kill one another.

I dreamt that I pulled my fist out of Ainome's abdomen and then kicked it away.

Ignoring her physical pain, Aenea, who had created some distance, was overjoyed and activated her dimensional teleportation ability, radiating light as she attempted to teleport herself back to another dimension.

"Did I let you leave?" I had known it would have this move all along. As I kicked it away, I charged up my projectile beam. The teleportation light that had just lit up on Ai Nengmei's body immediately went out of control, startling it so much that it looked around, not understanding what had happened.

I gave Aenemena no chance, raised my hand and fired an Omnipotent Stealth Beam to freeze Aenemena in place, then charged up a Photon Stream in place and swept Aenemena from head to toe, completely annihilating her.

Chapter 180 Undersea Ruins and Stone Statues

As Ainome was reduced to ashes, cheers erupted from the city's crowd.

From the public's perspective, this is the trusted Gaia, who once again acts as an invincible superman, eliminating the enemy and protecting their lives. The Giant of Light is as reliable and invincible as ever.

I slowly turned around, and his Ultra Vision allowed him to clearly see every face in the city facing him.

The child, held in his parents' arms, looked at him with an innocent expression, as if wondering why he was so big.

Some of the older elementary school students were making faces at him, while others were imitating his gestures of releasing light, though their gestures weren't quite right.

Many young people held their phones, constantly adjusting their poses to take photos of him. Some were busy sharing them on social media, some were taking selfies to commemorate the occasion, and some, after taking his photos, looked at him with reverence, their eyes shining.

Most of the middle-aged people were busy checking on the safety of their family members one by one, or holding their family members who had survived the disaster with lingering fear on their faces. After calming down, they would look at Gaia with a complex and indescribable gaze, full of gratitude.

Perhaps just a decade or two ago, they, like those children and young people, dreamed of becoming heroes, imagining in their minds that one day they would gain extraordinary wisdom or power, use this ability to defeat monsters, protect those who love them and those they love, and then receive everyone's admiring gaze.

But time will eventually break them. As people grow up, they will inevitably realize with despair that they are not the protagonist of this world, that the world does not revolve around them, that there are not so many adventures, no super powers, no turning bad luck into good, and that they may not even always be healthy.

After succumbing to reality, one day, you suddenly find that the hero you once longed to be has appeared before you.

There was no jealousy, no resentment, because he was the hero she had been waiting for. He had saved her small but all-encompassing family. He had accomplished something she might not have been able to do even if she had gained power. He did not lord it over everyone, but stood there peacefully, radiating light as he looked at everyone.

As I gazed upon every face in this city, his heart had calmed down.

To be honest, he actually wanted to torment Aenemena more. This was something he couldn't say out loud. If Aenemena's harm to ordinary people brought him anger, then the harm to Photon was enough to make me hate it.

However, he ultimately eliminated Enermina decisively, leaving it no possibility of resurrection, and did not deliberately delay killing it, which could lead to unforeseen complications.

The answer to this question has already been found in every face in this city.

Ultraman Gaia is not only a hero of Photon, but also a hero of everyone.

In the distance, I dreamt of many children waving and laughing at me expectantly, shouting repeatedly, "Gaia! Gaia!!!"

Suddenly, I dreamt that I could see my younger self in the crowd. If I had seen this scene when I was a child, I would definitely have been one of them.

So, I looked at them from afar and nodded slightly to them.

After truly becoming the Giant of Light, Gamu finally understood the meaning of the "Olse head," which was a response to the people who had always supported him.

“I am here, I am with you.”

Then I dreamt that I could take flight and fly into the distance amidst the expectant gazes of the people.

Inside the hospital, Imu gently pushed open the door and walked in. When Mitsuko, who was lying on the bed, saw him, she immediately smiled gently: "Imu."

“I’ve already torn that guy to pieces.” I dreamt I walked to the bedside and took Mitsuko’s small hand: “I appreciate your kindness, thank you, Mitsuko.”

She smiled and shook her head: "If I had to thank you for this, I don't know how many times I would have to say thank you. If I hadn't met my dream, I don't think I would have had the courage and strength to live until now."

Guangzi confessed: "Before I met Meng, I was almost in despair. At that time, I hadn't eaten for a long time. Although I was streaming, not many people watched, and I received very little money from donations. No one was willing to take me away from this dangerous place. I was really scared at that time."

"Everything changed after I met Meng. Meng treated me to a very good meal, found me a place to stay, took me to buy clothes for Earthlings, and was willing to be my friend and my family."

"What shocked me the most was that, at a time when even self-preservation was a problem, I was still willing to deal with the Yabo people and make transactions, just to fulfill the agreement to get me to a safe place..."

“My dream is my hero.” She gazed at my dream’s face and smiled foolishly.

In a sense, I just did what I thought I should do. In my opinion, there was nothing special about what I did. The girl was starving, so it was no big deal to treat her to a good meal, especially since we were business partners. As for settling her in, my thought at the time was simply that I couldn't let my business partner sleep under a bridge, could I?

There's not much to say about the agreement with the Yapools. I wouldn't dare call myself a great saint, but I can certainly keep my word.

However, this overly normal way of interacting seems to be quite damaging to problem children like Photon and Zetton...

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly ambiguous, my dream's communicator rang. When I opened the message, I saw that it was from Horii again.

"Starting yesterday afternoon, frequent undersea earthquakes have begun to occur in the Atlantic Ocean, and the intensity of the tremors is increasing. Headquarters suspects that it is related to the battle yesterday afternoon, and is now dispatching the Dolphin from various branches to investigate."

Upon seeing the message, Meng frowned immediately; this didn't seem like a good omen.

The eruption of an underwater volcano can be a big deal or a small deal. On a small scale, it might just be a polluting monster like Reilos crawling out, which can be easily resolved with a single Miracle Balloon Ray from Big Brother.

To put it grandly, the guys and I sailed the Dolphin down to the seabed, and when we got there, we saw—hey, the damn R'lyeh ruins! It was like a tunnel!

Okay, then we can type GG amidst laughter and cheers.

However, the ruins of Gatangia should be under the Pacific Ocean, and it is most likely not on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Just as I was pondering this, Horii's second wave of news arrived: "The West Asian branch submarines around the Atlantic have arrived at the scene. It is said that they have discovered special relics there, and there are stone statues inside that are from an unknown period of time."

The 181st Ren Dragon, Kagaqi

"Dude, did we really dig up a stone statue?" I was momentarily at a loss for whether to be happy or worried.

Logically speaking, since that's the Atlantic Ocean, it shouldn't be possible to find ancient ruins there.

"The specific situation is still unclear. The West Asia branch has just arrived at the ruins. We'll have to wait until we sail the Dolphin over there to see for ourselves to get more details."

“Okay.” I put down the communicator and turned to look at Jetton: “I’ll go check it out on site first. I’ll leave Photon in your care.”

The ruins that appear in the Ultraman universe are definitely not just simple ancient ruins; they either contain stone statues of giants of light or seal away giant monsters.

The statues of the Giant of Light have long been destroyed, a fact confirmed by Tiga and the ancient giants in the quantum realm. There are no longer any statues of the Giant of Light in the world.

Therefore, the ruins found on the seabed must be sealing away some kind of monster.

Monsters that can be sealed by ruins are rarely simple; they are usually powerful, or even boss-level.

Moreover, the things that seal monsters are often very fragile and can be easily destroyed by ordinary people, thus allowing the monsters to escape.

Even more deadly is that sealed monsters often have a "resentment bonus" buff. Because they have been sealed for many years, they have generated a lot of resentment, which makes them stronger or even evolve.

I have great faith in the quality of the West Asia branch; they shouldn't be like those traditional, clueless explorers who carelessly damage things in the ruins. But it's hard to say whether the ruins were already damaged when they were opened.

If I had obediently returned to base and then taken the Dolphin to explore the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, the members of the West Asia branch would most likely be long gone.

He returned to the rooftop, took out the Sapphire Cone, transformed into Gaia, and then used teleportation to fly to the coordinates of the Atlantic Ruins.

After so many battles, I could clearly feel that my energy recovery speed and consumption on Earth had changed significantly. The energy consumption of using teleportation on Earth had become very small, so he could confidently use teleportation to travel around the Earth.

After teleporting to the underwater ruins, there was no seawater rushing towards me as I had imagined; instead, it felt very dry.

I looked around in my dream and found that this place seemed to be some kind of underwater cavern, a very large space, where I could even move around in a gigantic form without any problem.

The ruins themselves are almost invisible, as they are located on the seabed of the Atlantic Ocean, a completely dark area. Fortunately, the members of the West Asia branch left a light stick here when they came down, which was able to illuminate the outline of the ruins.

What's quite amazing is that the entrance to this ruin seems to be sealed off by an invisible force, preventing the outside seawater from entering. A large amount of seawater is blocking the entrance, like a wall.

The ground of the ruins is soft sand. Looking down, you can see the footprints left by the members of the West Asia branch. Each footprint is very clear, indicating that they had just left. Several obvious depressions and dug sand around the site indicate that they had conducted a brief exploration and survey of the area.

The ruins were filled with a strong dampness, a mixture of the fishy smell of the sea and an ancient, decaying odor. But strangely, there was oxygen here, the source of which was unknown.

I followed the footprints of the West Asia branch members and soon found their trail a few hundred meters away.

At this moment, they were all exploring cautiously, and the commander was an unexpected acquaintance.

“We need to complete the preliminary survey within half an hour,” Zong Fang’s deep and clear voice echoed in the ruins. His instructions were concise and clear: “According to the data previously transmitted by headquarters, due to the previous cluster of undersea earthquakes, there may be an unstable geological structure here. We must proceed with extreme caution and prioritize safety above all else.”

Deputy Commander Yoshida Satoru asked, "Commander, the sensors ahead have detected unusual fluctuations. Should we adjust our route?"

Zongfang stared at the data on the screen, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Continue with the current route and keep monitoring. If the data shows persistent anomalies, we will adjust immediately. Remember, our goal is to fully understand the structure of this site, not to act hastily."

"Yes!"

When entering the ruins, everyone was mentally prepared to sacrifice themselves, because exploring ancient ruins in this world is indeed a very dangerous job. Generally speaking, as long as it is an ancient ruin, there will be something related to ghosts or monsters. Over the years, countless staff members have died in the work of exploring ruins.

After a moment's thought, I decided to appear directly in front of them.

He deliberately made footsteps behind the group, and the team members immediately pointed their guns and flashlights at him: "Who goes there?!"

Hearing footsteps in this godforsaken place, everyone's first reaction is to open fire. If their own people were coming, they would definitely send a message in advance. Since they haven't lost contact, who else could be standing behind them but an enemy?

However, Zongfang, with his excellent observation skills, immediately shouted after turning his head and seeing Gaia's figure: "Don't fire yet!"

Their hands were almost on the verge of pulling the trigger; they had broken out in a cold sweat when they heard footsteps behind them.

Upon seeing the appearance of the person in front of him, Zongfang blurted out in disbelief, "Ultraman Gaia?"

I nodded and communicated with them using Ultraman's telepathy: "I noticed the power leaking from the underwater ruins, so I came here to check it out."

"You're quite well-informed." Zong Fang lowered his guard slightly. Although the other party seemed to be Gaia, there was always the possibility that an enemy might be impersonating Gaia to deceive them, or that they were hallucinating.

To prevent hallucinations or inhalation of toxic gases, Munakata insisted that everyone carry oxygen supply devices while exploring the ruins, even though sufficient oxygen levels had been detected.

"Have you made any discoveries?" I asked in my dream.

“We discovered a huge monster statue 300 meters to the right, but we’re not sure if it was cast by humans or… transformed from a monster’s body,” Zongfang said, stepping forward and pointing to the passage on the right.

"Take me to see." I dream took the initiative to use the timer flash to completely illuminate the road ahead, which could be considered as proof of my identity to some extent.

"Wow, it's so bright!" Seeing the flashing light effect of the timer, everyone suddenly felt that their flashlights were no different from toys.

Zongfang and the others led Gamu through the tunnel to another very spacious underground space. After Gamu illuminated the space, two enormous monster statues appeared before him, startling him.
