Before he could finish speaking, a burst of green light erupted from the machine hunter's hand. Hal hurriedly conjured a bubble-like shield, enveloping himself in it. The burst of energy blasted him and the shield away, sending him flying through countless layers of factory metal before disappearing from sight.

The eyes of the machine hunter leader flashed red.

No one can escape it.

Bang!

A silver fist, accompanied by a sonic boom and a burst of electricity, slammed into the robot's face. The force of the punch caused the robot hunter to stagger back two steps, but it quickly regained its footing.

Shen You, who had also grown to a gigantic size, stood in front of it, assessing its condition.

That punch was incredibly powerful; even Superman would have been knocked down. But this massive iron behemoth, several dozen meters long, actually withstood it. Putting aside everything else, its hardness was on a completely different level from the other robot hunters.

He is a formidable opponent.

"Biometric identification failed; no match found."

The leader of the machine hunters fixed his cold gaze on Shen You.

"Execute the strategy. End all life."

A flash of green light appeared, and the green light rushed towards Shen You. But he slightly shifted his upper body to dodge it, then accelerated and thrust forward, his right whip kick striking the opponent's flank with tremendous force. The impact on the metal body created sparks and fragments of green light.

He then spun around and launched a flying kick. His red and silver figure trailed lightning as the Mach-accelerated kick unleashed astonishing force. A transparent shockwave, crackling with electricity, exploded from the kick, sweeping across the battlefield with unstoppable force.

The machine hunters' factory was utterly destroyed by this attack; empty buildings and structures were instantly obliterated, and black smoke billowed into the sky. The glass-like crystal structures shattered and crumbled, and the shockwave easily destroyed the alien alloy structures as if a hammer had struck tofu.

Massive industrial facilities and mechanical structures were torn apart like rags, gears and chains on the production line flew through the air currents, and the unfinished remains of the machine hunters were crushed to dust in the impact.

Theoretically speaking, this entire planet is inhabited by machine hunters, so no matter how fiercely you fight, no Aihara Ryu will jump out from the rooftop to warn you, so there's no need to restrain yourself.

After a series of kicks, Shen You charged forward again, only to see his opponent immediately regain his balance and swing his arm to meet him head-on.

His entire body crackled with electricity, and he suddenly accelerated. As he charged, he ducked to avoid his opponent's sweeping attack, then struck the chest armor with his palm. He then sidestepped the machine hunter's hand strike and slammed his knee into the abdomen.

The hunter leader, having been hit repeatedly, retreated again, but his attacks continued unabated. He raised both arms high and pounded down on Shen You's head. Shen You pushed off with his feet, his body trailing lightning as he retreated backward. Taking advantage of the moment when the hunter's attack missed, he flashed back to the hunter's face and delivered a series of punches to his forehead.

Lightning and green light effects kept exploding from the iron skull, and the facial armor was dented from the impact. But then an arm swung at incredible speed. Shen You raised his arm to block, only to feel the immense power of the arm, and temporarily withdrew.

It's green light energy.

Shen You's enhanced vision had already detected it. This machine hunter commander was covered by a defensive mechanism similar to Green Lantern's protective force field, which offset the impact of external attacks and greatly enhanced its defensive capabilities.

This includes its mobility and arm strength; the green light energy enhances its all-around attributes, making it exceptionally powerful.

The armor is made of an unknown alien alloy, possibly from Oa technology, making it difficult to see through. However, judging from its energy radiation level alone, one could boldly speculate that its energy intensity is enough to destroy a planet.

Hmm. But if we put it in the Ultraman series, this description doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

After all, some defense forces can destroy a planet with a single missile.

This machine hunter commander is a bit troublesome, but not insurmountable; it just might require some effort.

"save"

Shen You, who was about to take action again, paused and was stunned for a moment.

It felt like an auditory hallucination, but he was certain he had heard something.

He focused his attention, trying to catch the sound.

"Saving lives is of utmost importance."

Shen You quickly became certain that this was telepathy. However, it was so weak that even those with weaker telepathic abilities might overlook it.

"Who is it? Where are you?" he tried to ask telepathically.

But the other party did not answer this question.

Instead, she gave him a somewhat inexplicable reply.

".hope."

"what?"

At this moment, Shen You was completely baffled and had no idea what the voice was saying.

But the next second, he seemed to experience it firsthand.

Some powerful energy source emanates from beneath the planet he stands on.

A light called "hope".

Chapter 196 Everything will be fine

Shen You knew perfectly well that something called "Light of Hope" also existed in the DC Universe.

This is not an abstract or metaphorical rhetoric, but rather part of a system known as the "emotional spectrum."

The commonly understood spectrum of emotions consists of seven colors, each corresponding to a specific emotion or quality: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet, which respectively represent anger, greed, fear, courage, compassion, hope, and love.

"Hope" is the name of the Blue Lantern. It is the most special of the seven-color light spectrum, and only those who possess the belief that they will never give up hope even in the most desperate situations can wield the Blue Lantern. Every Blue Lantern member must be an individual with the highest moral character and the purest heart in the universe, like a saint.

In terms of energy alone, the blue light, which represents hope, is the rarest yet most abundant source of emotional energy compared to the other six colors.

Shen You had briefly studied Green Light Energy. While this wasn't enough for him to become an expert in the emotional spectrum's technology tree, he had gained a basic understanding of how this unique DC technology worked.

At least he can recognize an emotional source when he comes into contact with it, like right now.

"Hope." The voice rang out again.

Then came a massive surge of energy, a gentle yet dazzling blue light, bursting forth from the fissures beneath this steel planet and pouring into his body.

Although he had never seen it before and had no relevant data to refer to, he could quickly guess what kind of energy it was without needing any of that.

The location where he is standing likely hides some kind of blue light spectrum energy source.

The concept of "Light of Hope," both in its name and description, clearly aligns perfectly with the Ultra race. It's not just a matter of compatibility; it's practically tailor-made for them.

So when Shen You approached the energy source and released light energy, that energy was attracted to him like a magnet.

More and more, increasingly abundant light.

The leader of the machine hunters raised his arm again.

"nobody"

The instant the word "nobody" left his lips, Shen You had already charged forward again.

Lightning crackled through the air as Ultraman vanished as if teleported. The next instant, he appeared before the hunter, hovering in mid-air, poised to deliver a powerful blow to his chest and abdomen.

The halo effect exploded on the robot, the shockwave causing surrounding buildings to collapse and metal debris to scatter everywhere. The terrifying destructive power and the massive impact blasted numerous radial cracks into the protective force field on the robot hunter's chest and abdomen.

The robot hunter retaliated with a beam of light, but only managed to pierce through an afterimage. Shen You was no longer in the same spot; the next moment, he appeared from the left side with a streak of lightning, and in mid-air, he delivered a flying knee strike, smashing the robot hunter's head to the side with a thud.

Green light fragments flew everywhere, and a large area of ​​defensive cracks was blasted into the head of the machine hunter.

It swung its palm in a counterattack, but Shen You had already dodged it. A fleeting afterimage flashed past its right flank, and the machine hunter turned to strike again, only to miss its target once more. At the same instant, a supersonic elbow strike, like a hammer, struck its shoulder from behind, causing its defensive force field to crumble.

It's like peeling an eggshell at supersonic speed.

No one can escape it.

The machine hunter's upper body spun unnaturally 180 degrees, reaching out to grab Shen You from behind. Shen You ducked back, retreating without looking back to avoid the grab. Almost as soon as he pulled away from the hunter's back, he appeared in the exact opposite direction from the front, like a clone, unleashing a lightning-fast diving kick.

The machine hunter was kicked backward, the iron behemoth dozens of meters high crashing to the ground, sliding along the ground like a rampaging beast. The alloy and steel bars on the ground crackled and splintered, the factory roof was torn to shreds, the spreading shockwave kicked up billowing yellow sand, crushed the machinery along the way into pieces, and left a trail of fire hundreds of meters long in its wake.

The defensive force field could not withstand the strain and finally shattered into countless fragments.

They maintained an ultra-high-speed exchange, seemingly lasting several rounds but actually occurring in mere seconds. At that moment, Green Lantern, operating at normal time flow, exploded out of the nearby ruins with a bang and soared back into the air.

Before they could even take off again, Hal witnessed this visually stunning scene. The enormous robot crashed backward with a deafening roar, its protective force field shattered. A red-silver giant, tens of meters tall, appeared out of thin air as if in a flash of lightning, landing heavily in a flying kick stance, its landing seemingly triggering a planetary earthquake.

Hal, who had flown out of the ruins, hovered in mid-air for two seconds, pondering.

He then muttered to himself, "I must have acted too aggressively."

But the machine hunters felt no pain. Or at least Shen You thought they felt no pain.

The machine hunter, after being kicked away, sprang to his feet almost without stiffening, his chest now deformed to reveal a huge cannon.

The highly concentrated green light surged and churned within the giant cannon, as if it were fully charged and ready to burst forth at any moment.

"Extremely high energy level. The coefficient assessment indicates extreme danger," the green light ring warned. "Estimated intensity: sufficient to destroy the current planet."

“You must be joking.” Hal was taken aback.

Shen You also immediately recognized the power contained in this cannon shot.

But he didn't hide.

He could feel that the light of "hope" within him, when fully unleashed, was no weaker than that of his opponent. No, it should be even more powerful.

It can even compress and suppress the energy release radius, and control the direction of energy release and the explosion range.

Although the planet beneath them didn't seem to have any ordinary inhabitants, they were there to conduct an investigation. Furthermore, the energy source underground, which appeared to be a blue lamp and was charging him, also tugged at Shen You's heartstrings. If a beam of light from the other side were to blast the entire planet away, it clearly wouldn't be helpful for their investigation.

He made his decision in a split second.

No dodging, no evasion, a real man faces the waves head-on!

Shen You formed a cross with his hands.

Specium Rays!

A dazzling stream of light shot out, releasing a force far more intense than ever before. The metallic earth was scorched through from a distance, steel buildings and wreckage turned red-hot, and even the sky seemed to reflect a faint azure hue.

The blue light, trailing lightning, clashed head-on with the machine hunter's green light!

The energy exploded from the point of contact into a circular impact, and the two forces were briefly locked in a stalemate, like the marker in the middle of a tug-of-war, moving back and forth for a moment. But after only about a second of stalemate, the center line began to push horizontally towards the side of the machine hunter, sweeping away with overwhelming force.

Shen You felt there was reason to believe that he had secured a position on the right side of the wave.

Specium unleashed an even greater burst of power, pouring everything into the attack. The green light crumbled completely, torn apart by the domineering stream of light, and the boundless vortex ultimately swept unimpeded over the machine hunter's massive body.

"No one can escape it, no one can escape it."

With its outer shell cracked and parts peeling off, exposing its skeletal mechanical skeleton, the machine hunter leader muttered a few final words before finally giving up on repeating himself. The light in its mechanical eyeballs turned blue.

Everything will be alright.

The commander's body exploded completely, and a tremendous amount of light and heat erupted from within, like a sharp sword capable of piercing through a planet, soaring into the sky.

Go straight into the sky.
