Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

Chapter 703 Humans: Those Who Hold Back Will Die
Indeed, many aliens back then believed that Gatanothor sealed away the madman Nexus through mutual destruction! In the dark corners of a distant universe, space pirates gathered before a holographic image emitting a ghostly glow, whispering amongst themselves, their words filled with speculation about that mysterious history. Some said that the light emanating from Nexus was too intense, disrupting Gatanothor's scheme to rule the darkness, leading to their mutual destruction in a cataclysmic clash. Others described witnessing Nexus transform into a pillar of light that reached the heavens, clashing with Gatanothor's dark tentacles, ultimately disappearing together into the endless turbulent energy currents.

Gatanothor: You guys really dare to say that! I'm about to get beaten to death!!!

Within the sealed space, Gatanothor's massive body trembled slightly, its enormous, scarlet eyes filled with rage and resentment. Recalling its battle with Nexus, it was filled with bitterness.

Back then, Nexus was like a terrifying nightmare, repeatedly breaching its dark defenses. Its fierce beams of light cracked its outer shell and trembled its internal organs. Had it not possessed such tenacious vitality and bizarre regenerative abilities, it would have been utterly annihilated by Nexus long ago, and wouldn't have survived to this day. Yet now, those absurd rumors from the outside world portray it as a ruthless character who perished alongside Nexus—this is simply an insult to it.

Sigh. I'll go back to sleep.
Grass!
In short, some forces in the universe know that that terrifying thing has returned.
Be careful, everyone! Undercurrents surge in the universe, and interstellar intelligence networks operate at breakneck speed. Some ancient and mysterious races have sensed a familiar yet terrifying aura spreading throughout the cosmos. Their diviners, observing the stars, see Nexus's radiant yet chilling figure appear in their crystal spheres; their probes detect strange energy fluctuations—Nexus's unique combat energy. These forces issue warnings to their fleets and subjects. In an instant, the entire universe seems shrouded in gloom, everyone living in fear, lest they become Nexus's next target.

The main reason is that Nexus was truly terrifying back then!

Meanwhile, Earth entered a phase of rapid development. The energy extraction technology provided by Cui Ming enabled the entire planet to enter a stage where energy was no longer a problem.

On Earth, researchers gathered around a model of the energy extraction device brought by Cui Ming, their eyes gleaming with excitement. The previously complex and daunting energy problem was now readily solved by this ingenious technology. The energy conversion crystal at the core of the device could efficiently convert solar energy, geothermal energy, and even ionized energy in the atmosphere into stable and powerful electricity, which was then transmitted to every corner of the globe. Large-scale projects that had once stalled due to energy shortages were now restarting. Among the skyscrapers of bustling cities, new energy transmission pipelines crisscrossed like the Earth's veins, injecting a continuous stream of power into development.

Moreover, the extremely stable energy supply makes everything remarkably simple. In factories, automated production lines operate day and night, driven by a stable energy source, producing a large number of advanced technological products; on transportation tracks, maglev trains achieve ultra-high-speed operation thanks to a stable energy source, significantly shortening the distance between cities; in hospitals, advanced medical equipment relies on this stable energy source to accurately diagnose and treat various complex and difficult diseases. The entire planet seems to have been injected with a powerful catalyst for development, with science, technology, economy, culture, and other fields advancing in tandem, striding towards a completely new era.

Of course, there are also some who want to cause trouble, such as the Earth-exclusive solar energy tribe (squid) and the like.
These light-elemental beings have long coveted dominion over Earth, believing that its abundant resources rightfully belong to them. In their shadowy lair, they plot, using their unique economic manipulation abilities to create small-scale economic storms, disrupting nearby economies in an attempt to sow chaos and create opportunities for their rise.

But sorry, no way! This isn't the time for you to court death!!! There are a bunch of monsters here! Real monsters!!! The Earth Defense Force's intelligence department quickly detected the Light Race's unusual movements. The military's top brass held an emergency meeting, and monitoring data on the Light Race's activities flashed on the large screen.

"These Light Race are utterly overestimating themselves! Now is not the time to play economic games!!!" A general slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Earth has just gotten back on track; how can we allow them to cause trouble! Besides, we still have enemies to deal with!!! We must ensure everything goes smoothly! Earth must have the capability to cope with any threat! We can't let these guys run wild any longer! Let's wipe them out!"

Cui Ming stood aside, also very unhappy.

After all, he knew the potential danger of these Light Race beings; these guys really would sell out Earth if necessary. So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was best for this guy to disappear.
after all
Cui Ming hated anything that held him back. Therefore, the Light Clan nearly disappeared due to some unforeseen reasons.

Humans, when it comes to survival, will make difficult decisions! After meticulous planning, the Earth Defense Force, in conjunction with the powerful monsters summoned by Cui Ming, launched a thunderous operation against the Light Race. Those enormous monsters, such as Gomora and Red King, rampaged through Light Race territory, causing chaos and destruction. The Defense Force's warships, in coordination from a distance, unleashed beams of immense power. Although the Light Race fought valiantly, under the combined onslaught of monsters and humans, they gradually fell into dire straits. Their lair was destroyed.

In just a few weeks, the Lightbringers, who had once been stirring up trouble in their lair, almost disappeared from the earth, leaving only some residual energy fluctuations to tell of their past ambitions and struggles.

Then the place where they lived was returned to the former inhabitants.

"Next is the armed protection of Earth; mass-producing the Barias is the most important thing."

Bariastank armored vehicle, equipped with a 140mm high-pressure howitzer!
One shot, and the enemy will experience a feeling of ascending to heaven!
One of Cui Ming's favorite vehicles!!!

As a land combat tank, the EDF is an anti-terrorism equipment.
That's right, the EDF calls this thing counter-terrorism.

Ryugoro also complained about it, but there was nothing he could do!
Who can blame us when this treasure is truly amazing!

That's right! This is anti-terrorism equipment! So what!
Anyway, Cui Ming is already used to it!
However, there was one person who really puzzled Choi Myung.

Intermediate benefit.

For some reason, Choi Myung and Kiu Mie felt a unique attraction to each other when they met.
Cui Ming: This feeling
Descendants of Yu Lian?

Megumi Kijima: This feeling.
Why is my heart racing?!
