Starting from the destruction of the Land of Light

To be honest, when Zhang Chen first saw Golza in this world, he didn't have any particular thoughts.

After all, Golza isn't a particularly rare monster, nor is it native to Earth. Their population is enormous, and they appear on many planets in the universe. Some Reionics who inherited Reiblood's genes even enjoy capturing these Golza for monster battles.

So when Zhang Chen saw the scene of Ultraman Aegis fighting Golza back then, he only went there with the idea of ​​collecting evil power after Golza was defeated.

But now, hearing Luo Xi's words, Zhang Chen's expression instantly became much more serious.

It's important to know that the opening of Ultraman Tiga is about the revival of an ancient civilization. Whether it's the appearance of giant stone statues in the world or the endless stream of monsters descending on Earth, they are all harbingers of the weakening of the seal on the Dark Ruler.

Moreover, one of the things that ushered in the revival of the ancient civilization was Golza.

It is known as the "Monster That Shakes the Earth," and appears alongside Melba, the "Monster That Tears the Sky," attempting to destroy the giant's statue to prevent the resurgence of the powers left behind by the ancient Warriors of Light on Earth.

These two monsters are so famous that they are usually bound together. When Zhang Chen suddenly saw a Golza appearing alone, he really didn't associate it with the ancient civilization.

"I can't guarantee it either, after all, this information hasn't been verified yet, has it?" Seeing Zhang Chen suddenly become so serious, Luo Xi also said solemnly. "However, regardless of whether it's true or false, I think we'd better prepare in advance."

Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. "The Kirieloids want to cooperate with me to explore the ancient civilization. They have no reason to give me false information. In other words, before we even realized it, the ancient civilization has already begun its secret revival?"

"It shouldn't be... that fast, right?" Luo Xi wasn't too sure either. "After all, only one ancient monster, Golza, appeared, and it was already defeated by Ultraman Aegis. If this is considered a sign, it's a bit too small."

As they were talking, the spaceship suddenly shook violently!

Fortunately, the shock absorption was quite good. Zhang Chen and Luo Xi only felt a brief moment of weightlessness, and even the bowls and chopsticks on the table did not fall to the ground.

The cockpit lights flickered slightly before quickly returning to normal. Then, an electromagnetic voice sounded – the spaceship's automatic broadcast system, which only activated when something unusual happened in the surroundings. Luo Xi frowned and looked sharply at the screen.

"What happened?"

Before the words were even finished, a monster with a terrifying face emerged from the ground amidst the mountains. It appeared not far from the spaceship, and the violent shaking directly affected Zhang Chen and Luo Xi.

The monster had a body outline like Godzilla, but its head had a face-like appearance, and its entire body was covered with white bone-colored rocks with holes, giving it the appearance of a dinosaur covered in strange bone armor.

"What the hell is this thing—" Luo Xi frowned sharply. She noticed from the spaceship's alarm that extremely powerful energy was flowing within the monster's body.

Zhang Chen's expression changed drastically. "Ancient monster, Garula!"

Garula is an ancient monster of the same kind as Golza and Melba, but unlike the two, Garula is obviously more cunning and treacherous. Most importantly, its combat power is also much stronger than those two.

"Huh?" Luo Xi hadn't reacted yet.

Zhang Chen looked at her, both amused and exasperated. "Goodness gracious, Luo Xi! If we had a 'jinx' contest, you'd definitely be the champion! It's like saying 'speak of the devil' and he appears! Hurry up and launch the spaceship, this guy's heading our way!"

"How was I supposed to know this guy would cooperate with me so much?" Luo Xi stuck out her tongue, and her hands moved quickly, immediately activating the spaceship's power system. The entire spaceship instantly lifted off the ground and climbed into the sky.

The spaceship started up in stealth mode, and the noise of it taking off did not attract Garula's attention. Or, to put it another way, the other side's target was not them from the beginning.

"Strange, why does that guy seem to not see us? This place is so far from the city, what is it doing here..." Luo Xi looked at Garula in confusion, but the next moment, the spaceship system had automatically marked Garula's route.

Nestled among the mountains, Garula's path led only to a lush, green landscape and an abandoned mansion nestled halfway up the mountain...

"Oh no! It's after Ultraman Phyllis!"

Zhang Chen frowned, and [Radiance] had already appeared in his hand.

"Luo Xi, go to the mansion and check on Zhong Linwan's situation. Black King, let's go!"

"Awooooo!!"

With a thunderous roar, a beam of light suddenly flashed out from the spaceship and quickly flew to Garula, revealing the appearance of King Black.

Since this place was already quite close to the manor, King Black didn't hold back and immediately rammed into Garula, forcibly forcing it back a distance.

Garula was also startled by the sudden appearance of the monster, but it quickly began to fight back, its two large hands constantly pounding on King Black's body.

The battle between the two monsters caused the surrounding mountains to shake violently, with countless rocks tumbling down and startling a flock of birds.

Garula originally intended to use his powerful defense to fight Black King head-on, but he soon discovered that the unfamiliar monster in front of him was no weaker than himself, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

On the other side, Luo Xi, who had just been teleported down from the spaceship, didn't dare to delay and rushed straight to the abandoned mansion. As soon as he entered, he saw Zhong Linwan lying weakly on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Luo Xi looked at Zhong Linwan on the ground, then glanced up at the silver cross. "Don't tell me you just activated the device and were secretly training on your own."

"I...I just want to improve my skills as soon as possible..." Zhong Linwan forced herself to get up.

She was one of the earlier risers, and originally intended to go straight back to the city after waking up. However, after learning that Zhang Chen and Luo Xi did not mind her continuing to use the special training device, her eagerness to gain power made her stay and continue to perform "electrotherapy" on herself.

But to her utter surprise, a monster appeared nearby during her special training, and it seemed to be coming straight for her.

"It's probably the powerful energy you generated during your special training that attracted this guy. Your body hasn't recovered yet, so I'll take you away from here first." Luo Xi quickly came to Zhong Linwan's side and put her arm on his shoulder.

"No, I... I can still fight." Zhong Linwan gritted her teeth.

"Don't force yourself. You're practically electrocuted and you're still thinking about fighting." Luo Xi helped her out and turned to see Black King's massive body.

At this moment, King Black stood like a city wall in front of Garula, blocking Garula's advance with both sides unable to break through his defenses.

Seeing this, Luo Xi let out a soft breath. "Let's leave the rest to Zhang Chen. He can recognize this monster at a glance, so he should also have a way to take it down."
