Starting from the destruction of the Land of Light

Meanwhile, in a secluded mansion nestled in the mountains and forests of Jiangcheng.

Zhang Chen and Luo Xi are celebrating.

"Hahaha, I bet those guys from the Earth Defense Force are scared to death!"

Luo Xi wrapped her arms around Zhang Chen's neck, and the wine bottle in her hand clinked against Zhang Chen's glass.

"You're really something, Zhang Chen! I thought you were joking when you said you could restore Delusional Seven, but I didn't expect you to actually be able to gather negative energy again. It seems that getting involved in Bogaru's plan back then was a huge win!"

"It's nothing." Zhang Chen glanced at Luo Xi's face as she leaned closer, then raised his glass to the silent girl opposite him. "Don't be shy, make yourself at home, eat whatever you like."

Yes, Zhang Chen and Luo Xi were not the only ones participating in the celebration. Zhong Linwan, who was one of the contributors and the "great hero" who personally killed Bogaru, was also invited.

At this celebration banquet, Zhong Linwan saw Luo Xi for the first time.

In fact, from the moment Eleking appeared, Luo Xi no longer needed to hide.

As a monster native to Planet Pitt, Eleking's appearance is essentially tied to the Pitt aliens. Although there are monster dealers in the universe, everyone who sees Eleking for the first time will still equate it with the Pitt aliens.

Having fought with aliens for two years, the feeling of suddenly sitting at the same table with one of them for a meal was indescribable and made Zhong Linwan a little reserved.

She hadn't expected that this Pitt alien was an E-type, and so... um... unrestrained?

"Zhong Linwan, you don't really need to worry. Relax a little. I've already shown you my last trump card. You should believe that I'm on your side now, right?" Zhang Chen said, seeing Zhong Linwan's thoughtful expression.

Zhong Linwan knew that the "trump card" Zhang Chen mentioned was Luo Xi and Eleking. She picked up her wine glass, paused for a moment, and then spoke. "...I won't trust anyone, but I'll consider you all friends. I just don't understand, with Eleking in your hands, why are you still helping me with special training?"

"Let's do a quick recap," Zhang Chen said, pointing to the winter melon and pork ribs on the table. "Leaving aside how to lure Bogaru to the riverbank, even if she were lured there, what do you think would happen next if Eleking made his move?"

"...King Joe of the Pedan aliens will make a move."

"Bingo." Zhang Chen snapped his fingers.

He then continued, "As I mentioned before, Bogaru has a natural ability to suppress monsters. Unless it's an extremely powerful being, like a cosmic white blood cell or something, it's very difficult for ordinary monsters to threaten Bogaru."

"And as you can see on our side, it's all monsters. Even if Eleking uses all its might, its electric current can't kill Bogard. Seven might be able to finish him off, but then no one can stop King Joe, so..."

"So you want me to lure King Joe out first, then transform into Paranormal Seven and trade opponents with me." Zhong Linwan nodded thoughtfully. It was indeed a flawless plan, but she still had some doubts. "How can you be sure her only backup plan is the Pedan alien? What if she has other allies?"

"Then how can you be sure my only backup plan is the Delusion Seven?" Zhang Chen smiled mysteriously, then raised his glass and clinked it against Zhong Linwan's. "Suit yourself."

He then downed the wine in his glass in one gulp and let out a satisfying breath.

In fact, the biggest benefit of today's battle was not just killing Bogaru, nor absorbing the evil power of Bogaru, King Joe, and the Pedan aliens, but that Zhang Chen's [Radiance] underwent a very special change during the process of killing Bogaru.

On the progress bar that originally belonged to the power of light, a badge slowly appeared. And that badge belonged to none other than Hikari, the scientist from the Land of Light and the great swordsman of the Blue Clan.

Zhang Chen was certain that the badge was absorbed by [Radiance] after Bogaru's death, but he didn't know its origin or its function.

What can be speculated at present is that this thing should contain the power of Hikari, but whether it is like the Hikari capsule of Ultraman Geed, or whether it directly gathers a Hikari transformation device, Zhang Chen cannot guarantee.

It's most likely the former, after all, Hikari's transformation device is the [Knight's Aura] bestowed by the King of Ultra himself, and the strength of this thing is outrageous.

As for the final result, we'll have to wait until the progress bar of the power of light is full to find out.

Silently watching Zhang Chen, Zhong Linwan pondered for a moment, then picked up her cup and gulped it all down. Afterward, she burped, her face slightly flushed.

She placed the cup on the table and looked up, asking, "By the way, can I continue my special training tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chen was taken aback. "You've become addicted to electricity? Didn't you already successfully master a new ultimate technique? This kind of shortcut shouldn't be very effective for you anymore."

"It's not that I'm addicted to electricity, it's that I can't control the current in my body yet," Zhong Linwan said seriously. "If I have to charge up for a long time every time I use this skill, then the actual effect will be greatly reduced."

"What does that have to do with you getting an electric shock?" Zhang Chen asked again.

"You're so stupid~" Before Zhong Linwan could answer, Luo Xi leaned closer. "The device I designed not only discharges electricity, but also allows the current to pass through her body according to a certain pattern. If she can find this pattern, then the time to release her ultimate move can be shortened to two seconds."

"So fast?"

"Yes, if not at maximum power." Zhong Linwan nodded as well.

"Whatever you want. Anyway, this device was made for your special training. If you want to continue improving your skills, then keep using it." Zhang Chen didn't care about that. Besides, it wouldn't be a bad thing if it could boost Ultraman Phyllis's combat power.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Zhang Chen helped Luo Xi slowly stand up.

"Then you can stay here for the night. We'll leave now. Just leave your things here and we'll pack up tomorrow. There's a bed in the room next door that you can sleep in. It's very safe here, so you don't have to worry about anyone sneaking in."

"How did you get there? You didn't drive, did you?" Seeing that Zhang Chen and Luo Xi had both been drinking, and that Luo Xi was obviously quite drunk, Zhong Linwan also stood up.

At this moment, Luo Xi was half-hanging on Zhang Chen, her eyes closed. Seeing her like this, Zhang Chen felt a little helpless. "Don't worry, how can you drive after drinking?"

"Luo Xi's spaceship is nearby, so you don't need to worry about us."
