Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

Chapter 777 Earth Monsters from the Moon
Hikari has also been busy lately, spending all his time in the Land of Light's laboratory, which is filled with all sorts of strange instruments and mysterious materials. He's completely absorbed in how to create better gadgets; for him, inventing new gadgets is like exploring the mysteries of the universe, full of endless allure.

Although Hikari contributed many amazing inventions to the Land of Light, many of his gadgets were strictly forbidden by the Land of Light's leadership. After all, some of Hikari's inventions were simply too dangerous and uncontrollable. Take, for example, the device he concocted that could create a small black hole. If it hadn't been discovered and controlled in time during the experimental stage, its release into space would have caused chaos enough to annihilate countless planets, and the Land of Light itself would likely have been dragged into the vortex of disaster. No wonder many Ultramen in the Land of Light secretly thought that some of Hikari's inventions were better off being executed by the Land of Light to prevent endless future troubles.

"That's amazing. Could the teleportation ability of the Talorist aliens be used on a spaceship?" Hikari stared intently at the energy analysis instrument in his hand, the data fluctuating on it recording the energy fluctuations generated by the Talorist aliens' teleportation. He turned to look at Tregear beside him, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Tregear, what do you think?" Hikari pressed.

“I’m investigating. They’re all superpowers, but come to think of it, they seem more suited to their own race,” Tregear said, frowning. As he spoke, he reached for an encyclopedia on the nearby table piled high with books, which described the special abilities of various cosmic races. He quickly flipped through the pages, trying to find clues about the Tilorist aliens’ teleportation ability combined with their spaceship.

Kotaro stood to the side, watching the two of them immerse themselves in their research. For some reason, a sense of unease welled up inside him. He frowned slightly, thinking to himself: "Hmm, they're doing this kind of research, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Kotaro couldn't quite explain why he had this feeling, but every time he saw Hikari and Tregear working together on their research, he had a vague feeling that something unexpected was going to happen.

Just then, Kotaro's stomach suddenly growled, and he remembered that it was almost time to eat mochi! Just thinking about the soft, sweet, and steaming hot mochi made Kotaro instantly perk up, and he could hardly stop drooling.

It's time to get ready to make some mochi. Kotaro thought to himself, already picturing himself holding a wooden mallet and forcefully pounding the glutinous rice dough. He thought he should definitely ask Choi Myung if he wanted to come along. With Choi Myung there, the process might become more interesting; after all, that guy Choi Myung always managed to bring some unexpected surprises.

Meanwhile, Cui Ming was in his spacious courtyard. A large basin of soaked glutinous rice lay on the ground, already steamed and emitting an enticing aroma. Cui Ming rolled up his sleeves, raised his hands high, and then, like a storm, began to furiously pound the glutinous rice ball.

Ora Ora Ora Ora!!!
“This is faster.” Cui Ming said as he continued to exert force, his fists moving so fast they left afterimages. Each strike was full of power, and the glutinous rice dough gradually became soft and sticky under his attacks, beginning to melt into one. In no time, the originally loose glutinous rice had transformed into a firm and elastic rice cake, emitting bursts of heat.

Meanwhile, a monster watched this scene in fear. It was Mochilong, a monster said to have originated from the legend of people offering dumplings to the moon, sending their feelings there, combined with the tale of a rabbit pounding rice cakes on the moon. It had a mortar-shaped face with hands and feet attached to it. Not only could it speak, but it could also breathe high-temperature flames and retract its limbs, head, and tail into its body, using its "mortar wheel" to ram and destroy. In short, it was like a monster born from the legend of the rabbit Chang'e.

On another note, if this thing existed, would a rabbit monster really come to Earth wanting to marry some Tang Sanzang? Mo Qilong's mind wandered, but his gaze was firmly drawn to Cui Ming pounding rice cakes in the yard. Cui Ming's fists were lightning fast, pounding the rice cakes with tremendous force, the afterimages of his fists making Mo Qilong's eyelids twitch. Ouch! Headache! A sharp, phantom pain suddenly struck, as if his wooden, mortar-like head was being brutally pounded by Cui Ming's fists, causing him to involuntarily shrink back a few steps.

It's a monster with deep ties to rice cakes and dumplings, and it's never seen such a ferocious way of pounding things. This isn't making rice cakes, it's practically dismantling things! Mo Qilong rubbed his head while secretly thanking himself for not impulsively stepping forward, otherwise the consequences would probably be dire.

"Eating rice cakes looks like it's going to be difficult. I'd better stay away," Moqilong muttered softly, his voice full of grievance and fear. He looked at Cui Ming's fist, which was like a pile driver, and then at his own wooden head, thinking that if he really went over there, he would probably turn into a "monster rice cake" in the next second.

Sigh. It's so hard for monsters to eat. Mochiron felt a pang of sadness. He just wanted to taste what Earth's rice cakes tasted like. After all, the rice cakes pounded by the rabbits on the moon were said to be sweet and soft. He wanted to experience that delicious treat. But the scene before him was anything but warm and cozy; it was a massive "house-destroying" scene.

Watching Storm One beat rice cakes in front of him, Mochiron felt as if he were being beaten himself. He couldn't help but shiver again as the phantom pain returned, causing him to instinctively cover his head.

Hiss! That's terrifying! It stealthily took a step back, trying to hide itself in the shadows of the corner, only daring to peek out with its eyes. It decided that after Cui Ming finished making the rice cakes and left, it would sneak out to see if there were any left. If there weren't any, it would have to give up, after all, life was much more important than its appetite.

"Oh, if all else fails, I'll go find Minami Yuko-neechan. Oh, my poor little monster! Is it this hard for me to even eat a bite of mochi? Waaaaah!"

Afterwards, Mo Qilong went to see Nan Xizi.
After the incident at Nanxizi's position, he was completely stunned.

If you weren't Mo Qilong, how did you get to Earth?!
And how did you bypass space defenses?
Okay, even that thing's radar isn't foolproof.
