Moonlight team, are you awake?

"What happened?" The Delta Space Station staff who were the first to observe the image immediately stood up.

"Where's the moon???" They rubbed their eyes repeatedly, unable to believe that what they were seeing was real.

The instant the moon exploded, the night sky seemed to be torn apart, a blinding white light piercing the darkness across the heavens. Immediately afterwards, countless fragments scattered from the explosion's epicenter, leaving long trails like meteors, streaking across the night sky. The once complete moon was gone, replaced by a gradually expanding dust cloud that circled the Earth, slowly forming an irregular ring structure.

For a moment, the staff at Delta Force even wondered if they had traveled to another timeline.

The impact on people on the ground was even greater. Within ten minutes of the explosion, people on the ground first saw a huge bright light streak across the night sky, followed by fragments of the moon spreading across the sky. Many people stood there dumbfounded, while those who reacted faster began to contact their families and relevant departments to report the situation.

Of course, there was no need to contact or report it, because everyone had seen what happened.

"Damn, did the moon explode? I only saw a flash of light, and then the moon turned into many shiny fragments."

"Damn it, what if debris falls from the sky? If it does, I wonder if the shelter can withstand it?"

"Fuck, that's awesome."

Within half an hour, "lunar explosion" quickly became a trending topic, with all social media and news organizations rapidly disseminating related news and images. Upon receiving the news, governments and scientific institutions began issuing guidelines on safety measures and response procedures, and the public was urged to quickly move to nearby shelters to avoid possible debris falls and other related disasters.

In this disaster-prone world, underground shelters have become an integral part of everyone's lives, almost like a second home. After the moon exploded, although immense fear gripped everyone's hearts, the shelter maintained its usual order.

Each shelter was built to extremely high standards, with spacious passageways and bright lighting that prevented a feeling of oppression, and an air circulation system that ensured a constant flow of fresh air. The walls were painted in soft colors, and the ceiling lights simulated natural light, so that people did not feel completely isolated from the world on the ground.

This was specifically proposed by then-UN Secretary-General Soichiro Sawai at the beginning of the shelter plan. He believed that since shelters would be frequently used in the future, it was essential to avoid making the public feel oppressed. During the period of frequent monster outbreaks, it was not only necessary to increase military force, but also to ensure the stability of the public's mentality.

This approach proved effective. The shelter was designed with a strong emphasis on visual security, and its color scheme and many design details were intentionally chosen to convey a sense of solidity and reliability.

Inside the shelter, while worry still lingered on people's faces, there was also a habitual calm. Many had spent countless similar moments in the shelter, and although the panic brought by this lunar explosion was immense, it did not disrupt their inner order.

To some extent, for people today, going to a shelter is like going to school. Everyone finds their designated spot in the public area, just like finding a seat when going to school or work. Then they take out their laptops or books and start reading or working on unfinished tasks.

Younger children played in a specially designed play area, while their parents occasionally glanced at them with forced smiles—for these still innocent and unaware children, taking refuge was actually a good opportunity to play with their friends.

Large screens embedded in the walls of the shelter display real-time information from the outside world and announcements issued by the government. Supply points distribute food and drinking water in an orderly manner. The automated system ensures that the distribution of supplies is accurate and sufficient, and there is no worry about shortages. The shelter's reserves are sufficient to support long-term refuge.

Inside the medical ward, doctors and nurses greeted people seeking help in well-equipped clinics, some of whom were panicked or had minor injuries. Despite the apocalyptic scene outside, everything seemed so orderly in this underground space, as if disaster were simply a part of life, something that could be endured with patience.

Meanwhile, on an open space somewhere on the ground, Imu and the others, who had escaped from the moon at the last moment, were panting heavily.

Sphia acted incredibly fast. I almost didn't have time to teleport everyone back. The shockwave from the explosion was already right up to everyone. If we had been a fraction of a second later, we would all have been caught in the blast.

After being enhanced by Sphia, Valaron's biological bombs were extremely powerful. I even discovered through Ultra Vision that Valaron itself was blown to pieces in the explosion.

"That was terrifying. We were almost wiped out. Those guys are so cunning." Guregor patted his chest, still shaken.

"It's best to keep an eye on your surroundings. After all, those guys could jump out from anywhere on Earth at any time, and they might suddenly appear next to us again." Jaden looked around warily.

"The question now is, what happened to those Valaron after the moon exploded?" Although I saw that they were all blown to pieces, for the Scia chimeras, being blown to pieces does not mean they are dead. Now that the moon has been blown up, will those guys take the opportunity to come to Earth?

Just as I had predicted, since he was not destroyed on the moon, the reformed Spyavallons have now begun flying toward Earth.

However, misfortune never comes singly. Just as I was pondering the matter of Valaron, a black hole of the Destruction Summoning Entity appeared above everyone's heads, and Satan's beetle covered in metal armor jumped out from it.

Like Demacia, Satan Beetle was a monster captured by the Destruction Bringer during the battle in 1986. The latter was transformed into Razor Demacia, and Satan Beetle was no exception. Its body was originally covered with a hard shell, and after being modified by the Destruction Bringer, its shell became armor, making it look like a warrior.

"This guy's aura is even stronger than Razor Dimaga's before," Renlong, with his powerful perception, said solemnly.

"It's alright." Imu waved his hand. The Armored Satan Beetle was obviously stronger than Razor Demag, and compared to Razor Demag, which enhanced its attack power, the Armored Satan Beetle was clearly a character with enhanced defense. Combined with its already very durable carapace, it would definitely be more troublesome to deal with than Razor Demag.

But I don't think it's worth wasting time on it here.

He took out the Dark Ring, materialized the Specia Razor Demaga and ordered them to attack the Armored Satan Beetle, while he himself flew into the sky to intercept Specia Valaron in outer space.

Chapter 218 Public Remote Control Kills People

In outer space, many Valaron are flying towards Earth. After transforming into Spyar chimeras, they also gain the ability to move freely in outer space, no longer needing to rely on the power of meteorites and asteroids to travel.

I dreamt of arriving in outer space at top speed. By then, the Valarons were almost at the atmosphere, but after detecting my dreamt of existence, they all abandoned their plans to invade Earth and instead flew towards my dreamt of.

Clearly, their primary objective was not to invade Earth or destroy the moon; their target was always Imeng. However, it seems that Sphia did not intend to kill Imeng directly, a fact that Imeng was aware of. If Sphia were determined to kill him, it would have had more than one opportunity to do so. And each time Sphia made a move, it seemed to be deliberately keeping the intensity within the range that would keep Imeng from dying.

Simply put, the enemy's strength always seems to leave no hope of victory, but it's not so strong that there's absolutely no chance of survival. Every time, my dream is left with at least a one percent chance of winning.

I suspect that Specia's goal was never to destroy Earth or humanity, or rather, its target was not ordinary humans or Earth itself, but the Earth's defensive forces.

Sphia's primary target right now is himself. If he loses, Sphia will devour him without hesitation and transform him into a new Sphia chimera. Each time, it leaves Meng with a one percent chance of winning, just to see if Meng can continue to improve himself. The higher Meng improves, the more they will gain after devouring Meng.

As Goldler once said, once a target's potential has been pushed to its limit, the sphia will enter the harvesting phase, leaving no room for maneuver, directly and ruthlessly killing the target and devouring it.

At the time, it speculated that Sphia had already entered the harvesting phase of Earth, but now it seems that this is not the case. It's just that because my dream's progress is too fast, Sphia has increased its strength along with my dream, resulting in its current strength being enough to harvest others, but still far from enough for my dream.

Ten Sphiavalaron surrounded my dream in outer space, their eyes gleaming with a cold light, the gaze of someone watching their prey.

I was in the middle of it all, yet I remained remarkably calm: "What, you all seem to think of yourselves as hunters?"

The Valaron didn't answer, but instead unleashed a powerful dragon tail swing, hurling the massive bio-bomb from its tail directly at my dream.

Valaron's tail-mounted bio-bomb is arguably its greatest weapon. These bio-bombs, which resemble giant dates, possess terrifying destructive power. A single bomb can create a massive crater on the moon, and after being enhanced by Sphia, they completely destroyed the moon.

In addition, what makes Valaron most terrifying compared to ordinary monsters is its extremely high combat intelligence.

The moment the biological bomb hurtled towards my dream, my dream suddenly struck with lightning speed, blasting a Valaron's head apart with a Lampard Light Bullet before teleporting away.

The instant he teleported away, nine of the ten bio-bombs exploded, with the last one exploding slightly later. I noticed that one of the Valaron's heads flickered twice.

Valaron's bio-bombs are controlled by special organs on their heads, which are essentially remote controls used to decide whether to detonate the bio-bombs remotely.

As soon as I steadied myself in the distance, the Valaron immediately unleashed red lightning from their bodies. After being enhanced by Softia, any part of its body could fire red lightning at any time. Unlike other monsters that fire randomly, the red lightning they emitted could be freely controlled in direction.

Instead of unleashing a barrage of red lightning at my dream, ten Valaron used their own red lightning as threads, weaving together to envelop the surrounding area and form a massive lightning cage.

This cage isn't just targeting me; it's also part of their tactics. Their minds are interconnected, so no matter what they do, they won't touch the lightning. But if I were to engage them in close combat, I would be instantly caught in a crossfire of lightning from ten Valaron. And if I chose to attack from a distance, they could just like the Gebalgae before them, stacking ten layers of barriers to nullify any of my ranged attacks.

"They're quite resourceful, creating an electromagnetic mesh."

With the electromagnetic mesh and layered barriers, it appears to be an almost absolute defense, but my dream has no advantage in either melee or ranged combat.

To force me to take action and to give him no time to think, the Valaron manipulated the newly generated bio-bombs to fall towards Earth below. If I teleported to intercept them, they would detonate the bombs instantly. If I chose to destroy them remotely with a beam of light, they would attack me directly, forcing me to either withstand their attack to defuse the bombs or give up the opportunity to defuse them and let the bombs fall to Earth.

Faced with Valaron's offensive, Imeng seemed to be driven into a corner. He flew straight towards the bomb released by Valaron. Seeing this, Valaron judged that Imeng was going to sacrifice himself to catch the bomb. The control organs in his head immediately began to flash, and the biological bomb began to glow.

Just before the biological bomb was about to explode, I suddenly thought to myself, "Jet, now's the time!"

The moment the bomb exploded, the bio-bomb vanished from my sight and appeared directly beside Valaron. The violent explosion instantly shattered Valaron's formation, scattering them in all directions and tearing their bodies to pieces. I, who was prepared, immediately pulled out the Dark Ring, grabbed one of the Valaron fragments, absorbed it, and transformed it into a Valaron card.

The Valaron that were blasted away regenerated at an incredible speed, and in front of them, Imu used the Dark Ring to materialize the Valaron cards he had absorbed, creating an identical Specia Valaron next to him.

Clearly, his actions baffled the Valaron, because I had only absorbed a tiny bit of power from a fragment of Valaron. The Valaron he created with that little bit of power was probably weaker than an ordinary wild monster. What was his purpose in creating this thing?

I dreamt I patted Valaron on the head, and the remote control on the latter's head suddenly started to glow. Then, a huge explosion suddenly occurred in the distant Sphia Valaron, and the body that had just formed was blown to pieces again.

When they first activated the bombs, I specifically tested it. He blew off the head of one of the Valaron, and the corresponding bomb did not explode immediately. Instead, it was remotely detonated by another Valaron. This means that the Valaron are using a public channel, and any Valaron can detonate the bombs of other Valaron.

This setup is probably V99 or Sphia. Considering that when a Valaron group is deployed, there might be situations where the head is damaged and the bomb cannot be detonated, this public remote control function is set up. Since theoretically, Valaron and Sphia Valaron are their own exclusive entities, there should be no need to worry about teammates being let down—until I dreamed up the Dark Ring.

When he successfully discovered the secret of Valaron and created his own Valaron, the formation of Specia Valaron collapsed.

Although theoretically the opposing Valaron could also remotely control my Dream's Valaron's bombs, my Dream doesn't care because he can order his Valaron not to produce biological bombs.

I can choose not to build biological bombs because I don't need them, but what about you?

Chapter 219 Ultra Key, One Shot Kills Nine

Clearly, losing bio-bombs is a major blow to Valaron, as it directly results in them losing one of their main damage-dealing abilities.

More importantly, Valaron's skill set is not particularly extensive. Its strength largely comes from combining skills using high combat intelligence to create combo-like effects, which, combined with the high destructive power of bio-bombs, can effectively eliminate opponents.

It's truly infuriating to have a character who relies on combos for damage output suddenly have their most crucial damage-dealing skill disabled.

After I dreamt of detonating the first Valaron, the other Valaron immediately realized that their bio-bombs were no longer usable. They immediately detached the bio-bombs from their tails and controlled their bodies to stop creating more bio-bombs.

But at this point, an awkward problem arose.

When Sphia was enhancing Valaron, she put almost all of her enhancement points into the bio-bomb. Her intention was to turn Valaron into the ultimate suicide bomber, so that it could bombard the earth with bio-bombs to make Gaia hesitate, or use bio-bombs to self-destruct at close range at the right time to give Gaia a head-on blow.

However, now that bombs are banned, Valaron is essentially unenhanced except for its high health and mana regeneration.

But monsters without any enhanced attributes are no match for my dream...

Before the Valaron could regroup, I had already used a Burning Impact to turn one of them into a Valaron Shard, the kind that you might not be able to synthesize even with 10 648s.

The flying fragments were directly sucked into him by the Dark Ring. This was outer space, and the Spheres could not suddenly emerge from the ground like they would on Earth. Therefore, I could absorb the monster corpses with relative peace of mind, without worrying about a few Spheres suddenly jumping out from somewhere to loot my bag.

The remaining Valaron desperately rallied together and then worked together to create the same lightning cage as before, attempting to use this defensive formation to withstand WoW's attack. However, having lost their trump card, the bio-bomb, they had lost their means of controlling WoW.

Faced with Valaron's defensive lightning cage, a golden light flashed in my hand, and the Cosmic Needle transformed into a giant golden key.

No one, except in my dreams, knows what this key means.

The Ultra Key is a peculiar item that can control the movement trajectory of the Ultra Star, but besides being useful as a key, it is also a terrifying weapon capable of instantly blasting up a planet.

Because of its immense destructive power, I wouldn't dare use this thing on Earth; one wrong move and I could blow up my own house. But this is outer space, so I don't have to worry about anything here.

No one in this universe has ever seen this key-shaped item before, not even the Sphia and the Interstellar Alliance. The Valaron on the other side are even more puzzled, wondering what the other side wants to do with a key. Could it be that this key has some kind of special function?

It does have the function, and it is indeed quite unique.

I dreamt of holding the Ultra Key like a rifle, pointing the tip of the key at the Valaron, and with a slight pull on the trigger, a thin green beam of light instantly shot out from the tip of the key.

By this time, the other side had realized that this thing seemed to be an offensive weapon.

But... can such a tiny ray of light really be lethal?

The Valaron believed that even if they lost one of their brothers, the remaining nine Valaron would form a warp barrier that could withstand attacks that could shatter a planet in one blow, so what was there to fear from this mere tiny green ray?

Sphia carefully calculated my dream's output capabilities and ultimately determined that 8 layers of subspace barrier shields could block his photon streams. The 10 Valaron heads were only to increase the margin for error.

If it can block such large photon streams, how could it possibly block a mere, tiny green key ray...?

boom--!!!!!!

The seemingly weak Ultra Key beam, upon contact with the subspace barrier, pierced through nine layers of the barrier as easily as a cleaver slicing through a thousand pieces. Before the Valaron could react, it instantly detonated them. The violent explosion incinerated all the fragments of the Valaron, and the excessive damage even began to affect Earth. Terrified, Imu quickly teleported in front of Earth, using his hands to create a huge barrier that barely withstood the aftershocks of the Ultra Key's explosion.

"What the hell is that noise?" On the ground, the people who were fighting the armored Satan Bitel immediately looked up at the sky.

The explosion lit up half of the Earth's sky, and even those standing on the ground could clearly see the aftershocks of the explosion in space, as well as Gaia's golden-red protective shield.

"Even if it's a fake, its power is terrifying..." I could fight ten Valarons in my dreams without breaking a sweat, but I was drenched in sweat from the aftershocks of the Ultra Key's explosion.

The power of the genuine Ultra Key is enough to destroy a star in an instant. The huge difference in magnitude between a star and a planet goes without saying. Even though I used a fake one that mimicked the Cosmic Needle, its power still far exceeded my expectations.

It's fortunate that this was used in outer space. If such a shot had been fired on Earth, the entire planet would have suffered damage comparable to that caused by the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

However, the results of this shot were also very significant. It directly evaporated 9 Softia Valaron, and their proud shield-stacking tactic was a joke in front of the Ultra Key.

What I didn't know was that the noise from his shot stunned everyone else. The group on the ground was punching and kicking the armored Satan Bitel when they suddenly heard a loud bang in the sky. When they looked up, it felt like the sky had collapsed. Even an asteroid hitting the Earth wouldn't have made such a loud noise.

Guregor and his group were even prepared to teleport away from Earth at any moment, but fortunately, I dream managed to deploy a protective shield in time to block the aftershocks of the explosion.

After the aftershocks subsided, I dreamt of flying to the ruins of the moon. I looked around at the lunar fragments, briefly conceived a plan, and then raised my hand to use Antora's magnetic beam to attract the lunar fragments back one by one.

He couldn't reassemble the moon exactly as it was, but he could put together a rough one. At least he could put together a new moon that was basically the same size and mass as the original moon. Theoretically, this new moon with the same mass and size could also have the same effect as the original moon—if not, he would just have to make do.

Chapter 220 But as I said, I'm a bitch.

Today is destined to be an extremely magical day for everyone in the world.

As I was strolling down the street, I looked up at the sky—whoa, the moon had exploded.

Not long after, I looked at the big screen in the shelter and saw—holy crap, a shockwave!

Less than a few minutes after the shockwave subsided, I looked again—what? The moon was back?!

The scene is so fantastical that it's as if the moon suddenly exploded, then realized it wasn't right and glued itself back together—it's all about doing whatever you want.

"Phew..." After finishing repairing the moon, I felt a long-lost sense of exhaustion. It was like after spending an afternoon assembling a puzzle, and when I finally stood up, the muscles in my back and waist felt like they had turned into wood chips.

He returned to Earth from outer space, where everyone was still ganging up on the armored Satan Bitel—that guy was incredibly resilient.

The Kirieloid's Hell Elbow Strike, Guregor's Powerful Bomb Kick, Goldler's Cosmic Fist, and the combined beam of Renlong and Kagachi—these skills had been used on Armored Satan Bitel dozens of times, yet this guy just wouldn't die. The only saving grace was that this guy wasn't a Spyia chimera, otherwise he could have dragged everyone down with him all by himself.

This guy's offensive capabilities are very low compared to Razor Demag, at least he doesn't pose a fatal threat to anyone present, but his defensive capabilities are simply too overpowered. However, part of the reason is that after the lesson learned from Razor Demag, everyone is hesitant to use the combined attack beam light lightly. What if one shot doesn't kill him, but only turns him into pieces? Wouldn't that just be aiding the enemy again?

But after I dreamt of it, I didn't have to worry about so much. He took out the Cosmic Needle, transformed it into Max Galaxy, and wore it on his arm. Then he poured the energy in his body into Max Galaxy and instantly delivered the armored Satan Bitel with a Max Galaxy Cannon.

My Dream's own photon stream was already an extremely explosive output, but after being amplified several times by Max Galaxy, it was no longer something a monster of the level of Armored Satan Bitel could withstand. Its body was instantly vaporized, and the few fragments that were scattered were directly enveloped by My Dream with a wave of his hand, forming a huge barrier.

It's quite a coincidence that Gaia is one of the few Ultramen who can release a barrier with an extremely large range. Generally, Ultramen's barriers are either circular barriers covering half of their bodies or rectangular barriers covering their entire bodies. Even Zero has only ever created a barrier a few hundred meters long when he and his partners work together. But in the Gaia TV series, Gaia in his V1 form can release a super-huge barrier with a radius of 20 kilometers. It is thanks to this ability that Gaia was able to protect the Earth from the aftershocks of the Ultra Key's explosion, because with his current abilities, creating a barrier that covers half of the Earth is no problem for him.

He released a barrier that locked down the space within a radius of 500 meters, like a square cage. The Sphia spheres hiding in the soil tried desperately to crawl out, but found that they could not get out no matter what they did.

The others calmly used their beam attacks to burn away all the fragments of the Satanic Bitter armor before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
