Great, we're doomed now!

The beam weapon is far too ineffective!

The energy beams struck Golza, especially the areas covered by vines, but the damage was far less than that caused by training targets. Even if the monster's body was tougher, it shouldn't have performed like this... It was as if the beams were absorbed or dispersed by something.

Since the start of the war, although they have angered the monster, they have not actually caused any significant damage. For Golza, it was as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Ye Shou was quite surprised by this, focusing his attention on the parasitic plants, but he couldn't see anything through the screen.

“Golza doesn’t seem to be taking this seriously.” Daigo carefully maintained the distance between himself and Golza. “You need to be careful that it doesn’t suddenly erupt.”

“I know.” Shinjo nodded, but the Railgun was already fully charged. “I can’t worry about that now, let me try this!”

boom--! ! !

With a muffled bang, the specially made alloy bullet shot out at ten times the speed of sound, slamming into the monster's side abdomen with a silent shriek!

"Roar!!!" This time, Golza let out a howl that was truly filled with pain.

The powerful kinetic energy and penetrating force provided by the electromagnetic cannon were obviously much more effective than beam weapons. In an instant, it tore open a bloody wound in its tough skin, and the projectile penetrated deep into it like a screw... Some broken vine tissue flew out.

Golza suddenly turned his head, ignoring Daigo's attack:

hum!

"Shinjo! Get out of the way!" Daigo warned urgently.

A beam of energy shot out from above Golza's head, as if it had seen through the fighter jet's trajectory. Although New City reacted in time, the shuttle-shaped fighter jet still couldn't completely dodge it. The beam grazed the tail of the aircraft, instantly melting the engine's external armor, exploding into a large ball of sparks and black smoke.

"Ugh!!!" The machine shook violently, and the alarm sounded piercingly. Shinjo gripped the control stick tightly to prevent the machine from falling immediately.

"Shinjo!" Upon seeing this, Daigo immediately rushed forward to try to cover him, but Ye Shou's voice rang in his ears.

[Full speed to the left!]

“!” Daigo did as instructed.

The MS lost its balance and spun in the air before barely managing to stand. Its original position had been pierced by a thick vine!

"What is that?!" Daigo was horrified. He hadn't noticed the vines' attack at all; if Ye Shou hadn't warned him, he would have been done for.

What is it? I'd like to know too.

Ye Shou frowned, looking at Golza's appearance, which was vastly different from the original, especially his rapidly healing wounds, and a sudden realization dawned on him:

Although Gatanothor had been asleep for 30 million years, the malice in its subconscious should not be underestimated. Moreover, because of Ye Shou's existence, in order to ensure a high enough chance of victory when it wakes up again, the evil god has already begun to act while still "dreaming"!

We need to modify some monsters to test the waters as cannon fodder.

And the one who shares the same views as Gol... is most likely [Sunflower Zigela]!

This ancient plant, which once helped giants defeat evil gods, has been severely corroded and dominated by Gatanothor because its roots have grown too deep—it seems to have mutated into a "predatory" ability and can now parasitize monsters.

Due to its unique properties, Zigela can absorb a certain amount of light energy, thereby enhancing the monster's resistance to beams and even helping them to quickly heal their wounds. However, the price is... it will absorb the monster's life force, or perhaps even turn it into a puppet.

What exactly happened here? I need a sample tissue!

Ye Shou narrowed his eyes, and the idea of ​​personally taking charge began to sprout in his mind.

"Roar!"

At that moment, the monster, which had an absolute advantage on the battlefield, did not continue its pursuit.

Its abdominal injury healed completely at a speed visible to the naked eye. After that, as if it had heard something, it immediately froze, then bent down and frantically dug at the incredibly solid frozen ground with its huge forelimbs.

"Ow!"

Its movements were astonishingly fast; the frozen ground, as hard as iron, was easily turned over by its sharp claws like tofu. In just a dozen seconds, a huge crater appeared beneath it.

"It's trying to escape!" Daigo tried to attack with his beam rifle, but the shot only produced sparks when it hit Golza, and it couldn't stop the enemy at all.

Swoosh~~~

Golza's massive body sank rapidly into the ground, leaving only a deep cave entrance and billowing smoke.

“It got away…” Shinjo’s voice was filled with resentment and exhaustion. He barely managed to make a forced landing. Because of the force field generator, the fighter jet did not explode the moment it touched the ground, giving him a chance to use his skills.

"It's more like we were given a second chance at life... Why did it run away?"

Daigo stared at the bottomless cave, the thrilling battle leaving his mind blank for a moment, unsure how to recapture the experience.

"Yeah...why is it running?"

-

Deep underground, Golza instinctively dug with all his might, and after an unknown amount of time, the space suddenly opened up before him, revealing a huge underground space.

This place seemed to be close to the lava layer, the air thick with the pungent smell of sulfur and a cloying, putrid odor. The faint light came from the lava flowing from the cracks in the rock walls, and from the central rift valley that tore through the earth, through which dark red lava flowed continuously.

In this eerie space, it wasn't the only monster:

Not far away, another Golza lay quietly, its appearance even more terrifying—two thick, dark brown tentacles burst out from its back, like extra arms, lying on the monster like snakes.

In another area, the third Golza lay on the edge of a lava fissure. Its rough skin and carapace were slightly red from the high temperature, and its energy organs on its chest and forehead were greedily absorbing the geothermal heat. A faint orange-red light shone through the gaps in the muscles on its back.

Its aura is the strongest among the three!

Having just returned from the cold surface, Golza instinctively moved closer to the warm lava area, but it dared not compete with its kind; occupying just a corner would be enough.

However, the moment it took its first step—

An indescribable, bone-chilling cold descended without warning!

That's not a change in temperature, but an instinct when facing a predator!

"Waaah..."

The three enormous creatures sensed danger almost simultaneously. Golza, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes and raised his head, his cloudy eyes reflecting unspeakable panic.

boom!!!

The hard rock wall seemed to explode suddenly, and the fragments of rock shot out like a torrential rain. A dazzling stream of light, carrying an unstoppable momentum, rushed into the underground nest in an instant!

The light faded, revealing the silhouette of a giant with sleek, powerful lines.

The monsters breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that terrifying, dark demon from ancient memories!

The Giants of Light are also difficult to deal with, but they have three heads!

"There's more than one..."

Ye Shou was also very surprised. He didn't expect that so many ancient monsters could survive from the ancient times to the modern era... Was this also supported by the power of the evil god?

He had originally intended to "take" some biological samples to bring back for research, but now, seeing what might be the last three members of the entire group, not only transformed into this grotesque form by Gatanothor, but also having their name "Golza" erased upon death, and considering that he himself was one of the reasons they had fallen to this state, a wavering arose in his heart—

"Zepelion Ray!"

—The pure white aurora swept across the underground space, and the sudden surge of energy blew all three Golza heads away.

"I didn't expect so many fish to have slipped through the net. Today, I, Bayeli, will show you great mercy and send your whole family back together!"

Chapter 278: Giving Golza to teammates is a fine tradition (Seeking monthly votes~)

Just as the Golza were struggling to get up, Ye Shou moved!

He gave his opponent no chance to catch his breath. His huge body burst forth with agility that did not match his size. The giant of light took two quick steps and then soared into the air.

With his right leg forward, his entire body shot out like an arrow, his leg gathering dazzling golden energy, transforming into an incomparably fierce flying kick that pierced straight down towards [Zijera Golza]'s head!

boom--!

The kick landed with perfect precision on that hideous head!

The light energy burst forth instantly, like a small nuclear bomb. Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of bones cracking, the monster's head exploded like a watermelon smashed by a heavy hammer!

Thick, dark red blood mixed with various flesh and tissues splattered everywhere, turning to ashes under the scorching light.

The massive body that had just been rampaging in Siberia and nearly killed Shinjo and Daigo convulsed violently a few times before collapsing completely to the ground, lifeless.

Bayeli used the momentum to perform a somersault, landing steadily a short distance away. His energy returned to its restrained state, but his silver body still stood out like a lighthouse in the underground space. He lowered his center of gravity slightly, his sharp eyes sweeping over the remaining two Golza, and stretched out his hands into a standard fighting stance.

Roar!

Witnessing their companion being instantly killed, the remaining two Golza roared in anger—then turned around and began digging a hole in the rock wall.

Among the ancient monster races, the one most favored by Gatanothor is the demon bird Zoga, which is violent, fierce, and extremely aggressive, no less so than Yanagaki, who is known as the "most ferocious monster in the universe."

Cave-dwelling monsters like Golza and Garula are more adaptable, defensive, and resilient, making them better able to survive than their counterparts. Their only weakness is that they are relatively "intelligent".

Simply put, they will run away when they sense something is wrong!

In fact, if two or even three enhanced Golzas joined forces, they would not be without the power to resist Ye Shou. After all, he no longer possesses the powerful sense of domination on the battlefield that he had in the ancient times, and he is actually quite restrained in battle.

But Ye Shouyi took the initiative right from the start—[Ultraman.jpg], what seemed like an ordinary flying kick was actually a fighting technique named "Ultraman", converting all the light energy of the beam into physical destructive force.

This was his full-force attack in his normal state, but it looked like he had easily killed the monster. The remaining two were instantly awakened by ancient fear and were in a state of terror.

"Want to run?"

Ye Shou raised his hands to chest level, and a red flash of light emanated from his palms as the timer lit up, drawing up an arc-shaped blade of light that sliced ​​through the atmosphere.

"Ow~"

The two Golza rolled away on the ground. The hole they had dug earlier was slashed by the light blade. The deep marks made them realize that they could not escape this battle. They opened their mouths and let out the roar of trapped beasts.

Tentacle Golza lay on the ground, then moved forward on all fours, its two thick tentacles on its back flailing wildly like whips. Flame Golza, on the other hand, stood upright, its energy organs on its chest and forehead glowing with an ominous red light, and the surrounding air distorted due to the high temperature.

The two monsters attacked Bayeri simultaneously from the left and right!

Ye Shou openly showed no fear—

[The advantage is in our hands, even in a two-on-one situation!]

He felt completely calm at that moment, without any sense of unease from being besieged. Instead, he quickly found a way to break the deadlock.

Snapped!

The tips of the tentacles split open into mouths filled with menacing, sharp teeth, like two mutated giant pythons, lashing out fiercely with a whooshing sound!

On the other side, scorching, enhanced ultrasonic beams also shot out!

Ye Shou, in his transformed form, Ultraman Bayeri, did not take the attack head-on. He swiftly moved to the side, using his agility to evade it. His tentacles lashed the ground where he had just stood, leaving deep trenches, while beams of light grazed his shoulder armor, sparking a burst of energy.

The three enormous figures became entangled in the underground space, passing each other and occasionally clashing with dull thuds.

Ye Shou always positioned himself in a position where he could observe both monsters simultaneously, never exposing his back to either side. Meanwhile, the Golza, despite being of the same race, lacked coordination and frequently hindered each other.

In the worst instance, the tentacle bit directly into the neck of the Flame Golza, tearing several large holes in its hard neck armor, which enraged the creature, causing it to charge back at Golza.
