Moonlight team, are you awake?

Chapter 242 Holy crap, perfect etherealization?

With Dark Baltan holding off Gakuzom, I quickly found Hipporito, who was teaming up with the Imperial Alien to farm the Root Destruction Flying Fish.

It must be said that these two Diomen aliens do have some inexplicable bond. Although, according to them, they are not very close, the Imperial alien has been strengthening its influence on the periphery of the Interstellar Alliance, equivalent to a regional governor of the Interstellar Alliance, while the Hippolit alien has been handling political affairs with the Praisel alien, equivalent to a cabinet minister. But when these two team up, they are inexplicably very compatible.

When I found them in my dream, these two guys were solemnly unleashing beams of light to clean up Baikuh, shouting something like, "I will protect the future of the Earth!"

Honestly, it's really too abstract for these two guys to say this with such a fluent villainous accent from the Shanghai Translation Publishing House.

The main point is that the moment they finished uttering those righteous words, they used their beam attacks to electrocute swathes of Baikuh, all the while chanting: "Painful, agonizing, just slowly die like this~" "Die, Flying Fish, die, die in pain and despair~~"

"Oi!" Imu greeted the Hipporito alien from afar. The alien turned around, saw Imu, and immediately straightened its nose: "It's Gaia. Is there anything we can do to help?"

"This idea is a bit tough, I want to try the old method." I dreamt that I was sending the process of my confrontation with Gakuzom to the two of them using Ultra telepathy.

When Hippolyte saw that his opponent was the 800-meter-class Gakuzom, he was already so scared that his nose was twitching. When he saw the 1000-meter-class Brudgebalga being cleaved in two with a single slash, Hippolyte's nose twitched a few times before drooping limply to his chest.

"Are we really going to fight this guy? It's terrifying. Can this guy really be defeated?"

"Yes, I have a way to beat it, but I don't want to reveal any new methods unless absolutely necessary."

The ever-changing functions of the Cosmic Needle have indeed given my dream a wealth of tactical reserves. In addition to the Cosmic Needle, my dream also has a powerful move that can turn the tide of battle. However, since there are still many boss-level opponents left, my dream prefers not to reveal its new skills if possible.

Upon hearing this, the Hipporito aliens and the Imperial aliens widened their eyes in disbelief: "No way, you actually have a way to win against this?"

"Yes, the difference is whether it's a small win, a medium win, or a big win."

"Alright, alright, I've got you covered." With my dream's guarantee, both the Hipporito aliens and the Empire aliens were relieved.

Gamu unleashed all the elite assassins given to him by the Yapools, allowing them to work with the Imperial Aliens to freely utilize their light advantage to clear out the Baikuh Swarm. Meanwhile, the Hipporito Aliens followed Gamu to the vicinity of the sunken Guam and skillfully summoned Gamu's phantom image together.

The moment the phantom appeared in front of Gakuzom, I immediately flew towards it, attempting to use the ethereal tactic to explode Gakuzom from within my body.

But just as he approached Gakuzom, a black hole appeared behind Gakuzom, instantly teleporting him hundreds of meters away.

I was stunned for a moment, and then, unwilling to give up, I decided to teleport and follow him. But I didn't expect that after I teleported there, Gakuzom disappeared into the black hole again. This time, it didn't even show its body from the black hole. Instead, it randomly opened a wormhole at a certain location, fired a few Sea God's Rains outward, and then disappeared into the black hole again.

"Holy crap, perfect blurring???"

I thought my holographic tactic was already quite holographic, but I didn't expect the opponent to be even more ruthless. They used a perfect holographic technique, hiding their entire body inside a black hole and not showing their face at all.

"Alright, alright, perfect blurring, huh?" I clapped my hands repeatedly: "Since you're going to play like this, then I won't hold back either."

Since the blurring tactic was useless against Gakuzom, I was too lazy to waste my energy. After all, maintaining a 200-meter blurring effect takes a lot of energy.

After dispelling the illusion, the Hipporito asked worriedly, "What should we do next?"

“Send him a clock.”

"Send a clock?" The Hipporito alien twitched its nose, not understanding what I meant by this dream.

The next second, I dreamt of summoning the Cosmic Needle, which transformed into a metal bell sealed in a special transparent container in a burst of golden light, and placed on a sled-like vehicle.

"What is this stuff?"

Not only allies, but also the Sphia lifeforms and the Destruction Bringer think the same way every time I dream of pulling out a new item.

What the hell is this?

The things my dream pulls out are always strangely shaped and don't look like they're very dangerous at all, but they always have a very abstract and bizarre effect.

The Ultra Key looks like a crudely made giant key, but it turns out to be a damn long-range weapon that even the specially made version of Destrudos' D4 Ray can only hold its own against.

The War Soul Divine Sword looks like just a harmless, oversized toy sword, but it turns out to be a headshot kill item that can instantly turn any enemy to ashes with a single strike.

Today's bell seems unremarkable and poses no real threat.

But after witnessing my dream's many incredible feats, no one would think this thing is truly harmless anymore.

Facing the dark sky, I didn't hesitate and immediately rang the Ultra Bell.

thump—

thump—

This sound, though not deafening, mysteriously resounded across the globe in an instant, and could even be clearly heard by people in underground shelters.

Most people find the sound of the Ultra Bell pleasant and soothing, as if it can even soothe their inner anxieties.

However, a very small number of people, upon hearing the sound of the Ultra Bell, rolled on the ground in agony, and some even burst into flames on the spot.

The creatures most affected by the tolling of the bells were the Bhaikuh, the flying fish of the Root of Destruction that filled the sky. They suffered fatal injuries almost instantly. After the three tolls, almost all the Bhaikuh around the world died instantly, turning to ashes as they fell.

When the Baikuhes covered the sky, I dreamed of using the Ultra Bell to deal with them, because the Ultra Bell can be regarded as a super-large-scale AOE purification item.

The sound of the Ultra Bell is pleasing to kind-hearted beings, and it does not require that the person be extremely kind; having ordinary-level morality is sufficient.

Conversely, its sound would cause unbearable pain to people and monsters with evil intentions, and if someone is so evil as to be beyond redemption, they would be burned to death by the flames released by the Flame Veil.

The power of the Ultra Bell can dispel and suppress the power of darkness, which is a complete disaster for the Baikuchs. In just a few breaths, all the Baikuchs were wiped out, and no more Baikuchs emerged from the Mariana Trench.

After the bell rang, Gakuzom, which was hidden in the black hole, was also shaken out. It also appeared to be in great pain as the Ultra Bell rang. As long as the Ultra Bell continued to ring, it would remain in a weakened state.

Chapter 243 You Are Disloyal

"What the hell is this bell?!" The Hipporito alien was so shocked that his nose was trembling.

With just a few chimes, the overwhelming Baikuh were completely wiped out. Even the incredibly powerful Gakuzom was in considerable pain, unable to remain hidden in the black hole and seemingly suffering from a significant impairment in its normal combat capabilities.

"It's some kind of sacred object; it's incredibly effective against guys who like to summon lackeys."

If it weren't for the fact that it's a perfect match for my major, I wouldn't really want to take out the Ultra Bell and use it.

Because this thing is a huge area-of-effect (AOE) effect, and humans are included in this AOE range, the influence of the bell may bring him some bad consequences.

The sound of the Ultra Bell can purify the mind and harmonize thoughts for those with kind hearts. It can even heal psychological trauma. Many people suffering from PTSD or childhood trauma will gradually heal their inner wounds after hearing the bell and will no longer be trapped in painful memories.

However, for evil people with wicked intentions, the sound of the Ultra Bell will cause them immense pain, and in severe cases, they may even be burned to death by the flames released by the Flame Veil.

The Ultra Bell has a rather lenient standard for judging good and evil. When evaluating good, as long as a person has good intentions or has done good deeds, he will be regarded as a good person. Even if he is evil in his heart, but has never put it into action, the Ultra Bell will not attack him. If a person has gone astray and done bad things, but still has a conscience, he will not be punished by the bell.

The Ultra Bell is exceptionally cautious in judging evil. Only those who lack both kindness and the capacity to commit evil are deemed truly wicked. For those with lesser crimes, the bell inflicts intense pain as a warning. But for those whose sins are grave and unforgivable, the bell burns them to ashes. Assuming there are ten million prisoners worldwide, perhaps only ten thousand would meet this stringent standard.

However, even so, the fact that tens of thousands of people were burned to death in an instant is enough to shock human governments, because these people may not necessarily be in prisons; they may have blended into the general population and entered underground shelters.

As soon as the bell rang, screams suddenly erupted in the shelter, and people rolled on the ground in agony. Some were even burned to a crisp and died shortly afterward. The scene was indeed very impactful.

However, this matter only attracted the attention of the government. Ordinary people still have great faith in Gaia, not only because Gaia's past actions are trustworthy, but more importantly, because they were not attacked by the bells, but instead received a refreshing sense of redemption from the bells.

For some office workers, the stress and worries that had just made them anxious and uneasy gradually faded away under the soothing sound of the bell. A long-lost tranquility welled up in their hearts, like a pair of warm hands caressing their souls. The pain accumulated over the years—such as work pressure, emotional loss, and anxiety about the future—all seemed to be taken away in an instant, leaving only purity and peace in their hearts.

For some, after the bells ring, fragments of memory flash through their minds like a movie. They see themselves hurt in the past, whether in childhood or adolescence, because of family, emotions, or other life events. In the flashback, they see themselves curled up, so vulnerable and helpless, as if the whole world had abandoned them.

Just as the pain was about to surge back, they saw, in the past, the sound of bells transforming into a warm glow, gently enveloping the huddled, pitiful person. An indescribable, silent comfort welled up in their hearts, as if telling them, "You are no longer alone, everything will be alright."

Many people burst into tears upon hearing the bell, feeling as if they had been reborn. Although those attacked by the bell caused a brief sensation, it was soon realized that there might be a reason why some people were attacked instead of being saved—especially since the bell was rung by Gaia.

On the government front, the sudden incident, in which tens of thousands of people worldwide were instantly burned and hundreds of thousands were attacked by the bells, immediately drew serious attention. Governments swiftly activated the artificial intelligence system "Crisis," retrieving the identities of these individuals and using its powerful computing capabilities to conduct detailed comparisons between the victims' identities and those of ordinary people who were not attacked, attempting to determine the reasons for their attacks.

After some analysis, Chrysis almost effortlessly identified a common thread among these individuals—everyone attacked by the bell had multiple criminal records. Most of those burned were serving time in prison, and a very small number appeared outwardly innocent. However, when their data was compared with that of others, some problems began to emerge, and the government immediately ordered Chrysis to conduct further investigations.

During the precise investigation, the backgrounds of these individuals gradually came to light—almost all of them were involved in major local cases and were likely suspects who had not yet been arrested.

After figuring this out, the government staff collectively leaned back in shock—Holy crap, a pinpoint strike?!

To be honest, when we first started investigating this matter, everyone had very mixed feelings. Tens of thousands of people were killed in an instant, and even if you were Gaia, this was not something that could be ignored. As government officials, although we held Gaia in high esteem, even admiration, we could not turn a blind eye to the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, no matter how reluctant we were.

But after checking, I found out—oh, all the people you killed were people who were already in prison waiting to be shot at, and people who were supposed to be shot at as soon as they were caught.

That's okay

Brother, please continue.

While it's true that going over the government to kill criminals isn't exactly a legitimate act, who the hell is out of their mind to hold the Earth's big daddy accountable just because a few guys who are going to be shot at are going to do this?

What is even more concerning is that, in addition to those who were engulfed in flames on the spot, some people, although writhing in agony as the bells rang, miraculously survived afterwards and seemed to be unharmed.

Considering the circumstances of those who were burned to death, these survivors seem to be...

You are disloyal

As the government released the backgrounds of those burned to death, public attention quickly shifted to those who, though not killed, were also attacked. These individuals were immediately viewed as potentially high-risk and, almost without exception, placed on a "watch list." Despite their vehement defenses and claims of innocence, the public was more inclined to believe in the purity of Gaia's chosen system.

After this ordeal, everyone actually trusted Gaia even more.

"Go Gaia!" Everyone sincerely encouraged him in their hearts.

While I was fighting Gakuzom over Guam, I suddenly felt that the power within me had inexplicably increased significantly.

Chapter 244 Progress Bar 100%

Above the sinking island of Guam, I dreamt of a final, deadly battle with Gakuzom.

Although the Ultra Bell dispelled the darkness and defeated all the Baikuchs, and also weakened Gakuzom by using the bell's sound, greatly reducing its power, in the end, he still had to personally take action to defeat this guy.

I dreamt that I would give the Ultra Bell to Hipporito and Dark Baltan, and have them ring it continuously so that Gakuzom would always remain in a weakened state.

But this also means that in the upcoming battles, I will have to fight on my own and will no longer be able to use the support of the Cosmic Needle.

"JO!" I dream unleashed the energy within me, instantly raising my height to 800 meters, matching that of Gakuzom.

The two sides faced off, each remaining cautious.

Even though it was weakened by the Ultra Bell, the 800-meter-tall Gakuzom, clad in golden enhanced armor, still exuded a strong sense of oppression. The scythe-shaped enhanced weapons on its arms made Meng very wary. Those things had previously cleaved through the shielded Brudgebalga with a single strike. Even now that it was weakened, Meng absolutely could not be hit by them.

In addition, another tricky point is the golden absorption organ on Gakuzom's chest. That thing is essentially the same as the absorption organ on Blitzbrotz's chest, capable of absorbing almost all light attacks and then reflecting them back.

Considering Gakuzom's current size and power, it's almost impossible to destroy it with a beam of light like in the original work. In the original work, Gakuzom was destroyed by a combined attack from Gaia in its Supreme Form and Agul V2 using the Photon Field. If I had an Agul of the same level to cooperate with me, I could try this approach, but if I'm alone, I'd better not.

Without Agul's cooperation, even if I obtained the complete Earth Light, I wouldn't be able to unleash those incredibly powerful combined attacks on my own, such as Photon Field and Burst Stream. The power of these combined attacks is overwhelmingly higher than any single beam, especially Burst Stream. If I could have Agul to cooperate with me in using this move, I would dare to skip all other steps and fire directly at Gakuzom, and I would be absolutely confident that I could take it down.

After a brief standoff, from Gakuzom's perspective, Imu suddenly stood still, as if in a daze.

Sensing a rare opportunity, it immediately roared to the sky, its twin scythes slicing through the air with a force that seemed to tear everything apart, directly slashing at my dream. The air seemed to be tearing under this powerful attack. Undoubtedly, Gakuzom's twin scythes could cleave mountains in two.

However, I didn't panic. He nimbly dodged and moved quickly, creating ripples on the sea. He narrowly escaped Gakuzom's first attack.

"After being weakened, you're not as fast as me." Meng immediately realized that if she had a speed advantage, she could still fight in close combat.

Seeing that his fierce attacks had failed, Gakuzom roared and raised his twin scythes high, unleashing a torrent of purple light. As the roar rang out, countless purple light projectiles poured out from his twin scythes like a storm, so dense as torrential rain that they almost covered the entire battlefield.

"Poseidon's Rain?!" I recognized this move. Faced with the scattered light, he couldn't dodge in time and could only activate a curtain-like barrier to protect himself. The instantly unfolding ring-shaped energy shield firmly protected him inside. Countless light bullets bombarded the barrier, stirring up a lot of sparks, and the thunderous roar shook the heavens and the earth.

The curtain-like barrier's defensive power remained as reliable as ever, but this move had already been seen many times by the Destruction Summoning Entity. With a thought, Gakuzom sent several purple light bullets that suddenly changed trajectory and drilled in through the hole above the barrier, bombarding my dream one after another.

In excruciating pain, I had to quickly retreat, but Gakuzom was determined to press its advantage. It charged at me at full speed, trying to take me down in one go.

Seeing Gakuzom's aggressive approach, I Meng remained calm. Instead, a red light flashed around me: "You ungrateful wretch! I, Jiaya, will kill your entire family today!"

My Dream's entire body glowed red, instantly boosting his offensive and defensive capabilities several times over. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and as Gakuzom charged forward, he used his speed advantage to dodge the first wave of attacks. Then, his fist glowed: "Electric Fist!!"

After maximizing the destructive power of his punches and kicks, I Meng rushed towards Gakuzom like lightning, slamming a punch hard into Gakuzom's absorption organ in his chest. Sparks flew everywhere, and a deafening roar filled the air. Gakuzom's body trembled slightly, but his thick golden armor only cracked slightly and was not seriously damaged.

But that was enough. With that one punch, I had figured out two things: I could break through Gakuzom's physical defenses, and it wasn't immortal.

Suddenly struck by the attack, Gakuzom's eyes turned cold, and he swung his twin scythes again, bringing a whistling wind as he slashed at Gamu. But Gamu had already prepared for the attack when it landed, and his figure vanished from Gakuzom's sight in an instant.

Gakuzom immediately looked up and searched for Gamu's whereabouts. A moment later, a dazzling red light suddenly struck from above. Gamu, maintaining his electric punch state, delivered a powerful Supreme Flying Kick that instantly hit Gakuzom's enhanced organ in the chest, sending it flying into the ocean and creating a huge wave.

But this attack obviously couldn't kill Gakuzom directly. A moment later, it rose from the sea again, and I noticed that the crack in its chest had grown even larger.

If the Baikuhs hadn't been completely wiped out, Gakuzom should have been able to repair its body by absorbing them, but clearly it no longer has that opportunity. All the Baikuhs have been killed by the bell, and even Gakuzom itself has been greatly affected.

If the body cannot be repaired, the absorptive organs in the chest will become a huge hidden danger for Gakuzom.

Gakuzom itself realized this, but it had no choice. Unlike the Specia Synthetic Beast, the monsters of the Destruction Beast do not naturally possess a subspace barrier shield and immortality. If My Dream fires a powerful enough beam at it, it will have no choice but to use its absorption organs to block it.

Numerically speaking, the monsters that bring destruction often give me a pleasant surprise. The most typical examples are the original Three Emperors, Five Emperors, and Gakuzom. However, in terms of mechanics, it is still not as annoying as Scia.

Given Gakuzom's stats and abilities, if it were a Spyia chimera, I could really give up and go to sleep.

I was also concerned about this, so he fought very cautiously, trying not to leave Sphia with any material, lest it pull out another Sphia chimera version of Gakuzom.

Seeing that the crack in Gakuzom's chest was large enough, I immediately charged up a photon spiral and pushed it towards Gakuzom.

This move startled Gakuzom. First, Gakuzom had never used Photon Spiral before. Second, this move was clearly just a normal beam attack and posed no threat to him. In fact, it might even be amplified and bounced back.

Out of caution, Gakuzom did not choose to absorb the photon spiral with its absorption organ, but instead used its twin scythes to split it open. It was well aware that if the absorption organ on its chest cracked, there would definitely be hidden dangers, so it was better not to use it if possible.

However, once that photon spiral was fired, Gakuzom's actions were already within the calculations of my dream.

In the brief moment between the release of the photon spiral and Gakuzom's response, I Dream charged up and launched the photon crusher at top speed. From Gakuzom's perspective, just as it cleaved the spherical photon spiral, a thick beam of light shot towards it, leaving it no choice but to continue to take the hit with its bare hands.

Given Gakuzom's physical attributes, using his twin scythes to block the photon crusher would be a piece of cake. But there's a reason why I used the photon crusher: by firing it from my head, my hands would be freed up.
