Chapter 361: Chapter 223 There Is No Ultraman in This World (4000 Words)
At the same time, confusion lingered in his heart.
Could this guy be naturally cautious, or is it that even memories can be replicated?
If it’s the former, this guy wouldn’t have started with a playful attitude; he would have gone straight for the kill using ultimate moves.
As for the latter, the look of bewilderment on the mirror replica’s face when it "replicated" the Divine Light Stick seemed unlikely.
No matter the case, this inexplicable "mirror" was disturbingly bizarre—it replicated all his abilities, even the Light Energy, far beyond his imagination.
This broken system didn’t have the ability to protect its "Host." With no hope left for the Golden Finger, Qin Shou could only rely on himself!
As these thoughts raced, the "Qin Shou" opposite him suddenly emitted red Light Energy from his whole body and began condensing an ultimate move.
"Beep beep beep..."
Suddenly, the blue energy light on his chest flashed with a red alert. The high-temperature Energy Ball that "Qin Shou" had just condensed began dissipating slowly.
"How is this possible... My strength..."
The mirror entity cried out in shock as he stared at his own body in disbelief.
At that moment, he could clearly sense the rapid depletion of Light Energy within, his body fading into a phantom-like state.
"Damn it, simulating these lights burns through so much Energy! I’m finished this time!"
Panic erupted in his heart, and disregarding his plan to replace Qin Shou, he took a leap and flew high into the skies.
He was the "mirror." Once the replication target was locked, the simulation and replication process could not be stopped unless the time limit expired—or the mirror shattered!
Meanwhile, due to enormous Energy consumption, the movements of greedy snake and other Synthetic Monsters abruptly froze. Space seemed to shatter around them as thin cracks quickly appeared across their bodies.
"Crack crack..."
The space fractured like a mirror, and the Synthetic Monsters instantly shattered into fragments, dissipating into nothingness.
"Roar..."
"Aoo..."
"Haaa..."
The next moment, identical Synthetic Monsters burst forth from the shattered space.
The true Galatron descended violently beside Qin Shou.
"Beep... Target data is fully analyzed. This entity possesses the ability to replicate and simulate all organisms, able to copy life forms as long as they’re below the original target’s level, and operates its own independent Mirror Space...
Flaw: Replicating target life forms requires Energy consumption; exact amount unknown, duration unknown. The target must be confined in the Mirror Space for unlimited replication..."
The emergence of Galatron and other monsters made Qin Shou feel slightly relieved.
Watching the fleeing "mirror," he stroked his chin, spread his arms, and soared into the skies in hot pursuit.
Because of Light Energy replication, the opposing entity had exhausted itself severely, confirming its actual combat power was definitely inferior to Qin Shou in his giant form.
He couldn’t comprehend why the mirror insisted on maintaining the Light Giant form despite severe Energy depletion.
What he needed to do now was to catch the "mirror"—obtain the "mirror."
A "mirror" capable of replicating all organisms—an unparalleled synthetic material!
...
"Boom..."
High up, white shockwaves tore across the sky.
The increasingly phantom-like Light Giant shot several brilliant blue rays from his palm, shattering airborne monsters blocking his path into pieces.
"Damn it, the time limit still hasn’t ended..."
The furious Energy consumption inside him only made his anxiety grow deeper.
Tilting his head slightly, he caught sight of another Light Giant swiftly approaching from behind, firing crescent-shaped blue Light Blades that streaked across his body in mere seconds. Several glowing wounds suddenly appeared on him, radiating dazzling brilliance.
The loss of Light Energy accelerated the exhaustion of strength within him.
"Mirror, you wanted to become me—why are you running?"
Flashes of violet light erupted. Qin Shou transformed into his airborne Ultraman Tiga form, greatly enhancing his speed. Within seconds, he reached above the fleeing mirror’s head.
The "mirror" panicked, transforming into the same violet airborne form; however, with Energy close to depletion, he couldn’t match the speed.
"Down you go!"
Qin Shou roared, violet light surging beneath his feet as he hurtled downward.
"Buzz..."
A stream of violet light descended from the skies, instantly striking the mirror’s back.
"Argh..."
The "mirror" screamed, transforming into a violet meteor crashing diagonally toward the ground.
...
At the same time, the ground below was engulfed in brutal warfare.
The dilapidated ruins of an ancient city were filled with countless civilians wailing amidst flames of war, corpses strewn everywhere.
Massive giant beasts roared toward the heavens, releasing colorful Energy Beams from their maws, burying the entire city in clouds of raging smoke and fire.
"Boom..."
"Rumble..."
In one corner of the city, two third-level Mechas fired volleys of dense Energy Beams—yet they left nothing but superficial marks on the giant beasts without inflicting any real damage.
Inside the cockpits, two Mechanical Masters furiously piloted the Mechas, their faces dark with despair.
"Old Chen, it’s hopeless. These are Nightmare Level 2 Star monsters. There’s no way we can stand against them. We need to escape now while they haven’t noticed us!"
"But what about the people here? If we leave, they’ll have no chance of survival..."
"There’s no time to think about that! This isn’t Earth—Base City didn’t order us to fight to the death protecting these natives..."
"But..."
"No buts! If we don’t run now, it’ll be too late!"
"Old Zhang, look at that—what is it?"
Suddenly, Old Chen spotted a violet meteor plummeting above the city, his face lighting up in shock.
"That’s..."
In an instant, the violet meteor descended, striking directly atop one of the giant beasts releasing flame beams.
"BOOM!!"
With the impact of the violet light, the ground shook with a deafening rumble. Within a radius of a thousand meters, shards of debris flew hundreds of meters sky-high. The beast struck by the violet energy didn’t even get the chance to howl before its body was obliterated by overwhelming force.
The surrounding beasts weren’t spared either. The terrifying blast of Light Energy shattered their skeletons, leaving them crumbled helplessly on the ground, wailing in agony.
