Chapter 362: Chapter 223 There Is No Ultraman in This World (4000 Words)_2
At the edge of the city, two mecha pilots stared at the horrifying scene, their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
"What... is this?"
"A meteorite falling?"
"It might be... Look, something else is coming down!"
Old Chen pointed at the purple giant streaking down from the sky.
"That’s... That’s..."
"What is it? Hurry up and say it, you’re killing me with suspense!"
"It kind of looks like... Ultraman?"
"Ultraman, sounds familiar... I can’t remember, what is it?"
"The Federation Main City Library once recorded that, during the early stages of the Monster Era, a Light Giant emanating radiance all over its body descended from the distant M78 Nebula to save Earth..."
"Stop! Stop! Now that you mention it, I remember. Federation archaeologists already confirmed it: that thing was actually just a wildly popular tokusatsu TV show at the time. It’s fake; there’s no Ultraman in this world!"
"Impossible! Then how do you explain what we’re seeing right now?"
"This... Could it be that light truly exists in this world?"
The two were shaken deeply, feeling as if their worldview had been overturned.
...
"Buzz!"
A purple beam of light shot down to the ground, bringing a trace of brightness to the battle-scarred and terror-stricken city consumed by endless darkness and war.
The radiance illuminated the entire city. Countless citizens, amidst their wailing, felt the warmth of the light and instinctively looked up, seeing a towering giant shining with light standing in the ravaged center of the city.
"A god! A True God!"
"The divine spirit has descended!"
"The divine spirit is protecting our Nightingale City; we are saved!"
"Hahaha, we’re saved!!"
Countless citizens fell to their knees, crazily bowing to Qin Shou, pleading with modest and insignificant wishes.
They wanted to live!
"So these are the natives of Monster Planet?"
Qin Shou’s two milky-white eyes flickered slightly as he scanned the ruined land.
Judging by appearances, these natives didn’t seem much different from Earth’s ancient humans.
"Beep-beep-beep..."
Suddenly, the energy light on his chest began flashing rapidly. Qin Shou snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the shattered "Mirror" beneath his feet.
This was a "human" whose entire skin was metallic silver and etched with bizarre black markings.
At this moment, the Mirror’s silver body had cracked and appeared ready to shatter with just a touch.
"Crack..."
Just as Qin Shou had this thought, the silver body split along the black marks, breaking into countless pieces.
Uh...
"Ding! Unknown lifeform slain. Reward: 300,000 Synthesis Points, one unknown gene acquired."
With a wave of his hand, light energy descended, collecting the fragmented remains into the System Space.
As for the Nightmare-level Monsters groaning nearby, several light blades shot out from Qin Shou’s hand, slicing the giant beasts into pieces and collecting them into the same space.
Qin Shou turned his head and glanced at the two third-level mechas in the corner of the city but didn’t pay them any mind.
Crossing his arms, warm rays of light glimmered before his chest.
"Buzz!!"
Instantly, the giant transformed into a sky full of light particles that poured down onto the ground, extinguishing the flames of war in an instant. The warm radiance enveloped all the citizens of the city.
"Uh... so warm..."
"My body..."
"Our injuries... are healed..."
"The divine spirit has healed us..."
"Thank goodness! Thank you, divine spirit..."
Countless citizens knelt to offer their gratitude. When they looked up again, the Light Giant had already disappeared.
Inside the cockpit, the two pilots couldn’t help but feel excited.
"See? I told you Ultraman must exist in the world..."
"Uh-huh, I got it all on video..."
...
Bone Mountain.
"Roar!!"
Its opponent suddenly shattered like a Shattered Mirror, causing Hillbagon to unleash an arrogant roar.
Who else is there!!
"Thud-thud-thud..."
The ground trembled as one Synthetic Monster after another converged and surrounded it.
Little Vajra pounded its chest furiously, releasing an aura no weaker than Hillbagon’s.
The greedy snake and other Synthetic Monsters joined in the fray, roaring alongside it. Over a dozen Monkey Avatars stared at Hillbagon with malicious intent in their eyes.
The giant snail also returned to the scene. Though its back was now bare without its snail shell, that didn’t stop it from tagging along to watch the spectacle unfold.
Hillbagon:"..."
It glanced left and right, its steps faltering as it kept retreating.
Too many monsters. I can’t beat them!
The next moment, its mouth curled into a grin, and it swung its paws together in a gesture of supplication.
Hahaha, brothers, let me wish you all a happy New Year. Can you please not hit my face?
"Roar..."
"Growl..."
In an instant, the deafening growls of monsters filled the air as all the Synthetic Monsters swarmed over Hillbagon.
"Roar..."
Hillbagon let out a pitiful scream as it was pinned beneath the horde of Synthetic Monsters.
I won’t act arrogant anymore in the future...
The Emperor Battle Dragon flew back roaring as Qin Shou swallowed a drop of Recovery Potion, just in time to witness the scene.
"Haha, that idiot finally got what was coming to him."
After spending some time "mediating," Qin Shou gathered all the Synthetic Monsters into the System Space, ready to leave.
Suddenly, Qin Shou paused and turned to look at the severely injured, barely conscious Chen Yizhou.
Chen Yizhou’s injuries weren’t originally this serious, but while on the Monster battlefield, he’d suffered several accidental hits, leaving him in this state.
"Qin Shou, you... what do you want to do?"
Chen Yizhou’s legs had been blown off. He propped himself up with his hands, retreating in panic.
Qin Shou deliberated for a moment, his eyes flashing brightly. "That thing, you’re the one who created it, aren’t you?"
"What thing? I... I don’t know."
Chen Yizhou’s face turned pale as he shook his head in denial.
"Here’s the deal: you tell me about that thing, and I’ll think about sparing you." Qin Shou squatted beside him and smiled.
"Qin Shou, do you think I’m stupid? I won’t believe you." Chen Yizhou scoffed.
Qin Shou spread his hands and chuckled, "You’re already useless now; killing you doesn’t benefit me.
Think about it yourself. When you tried to steal the mecha earlier, I could have killed you then, but I didn’t. I even gave you the opportunity to cause trouble for me later.
That’s because I’ve always been after wealth, not lives.
