Great, we're doomed now!

Without him needing to give much command, almost at the same moment the order was given, the hangar at the Uranus outpost had already opened its roof.

Kazuma Asuka sat in the cockpit of his custom-designed mobile suit, his helmet visor pulled down, data streams scrolling rapidly across it. After repeatedly confirming the sortie command, he pushed the stick with his right hand, propelling the mobile suit forward from the launch track. It drew a bright arc against the backdrop of space before bursting into a dazzling tail flame as it headed towards the approaching fleet.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the lunar base, Shinjo, piloting the Flying Swallow spacecraft, had already taken off.

Bemstein is his first opponent, and he doesn't know how strong he is yet... But since the AI ​​will modify the records afterward, there's no need to hide his identity. He might as well face him head-on!

So what if the plane crashes again?

As long as he transforms into Ultraman Darram, Shinjo is confident that he can defeat this round, chubby bird.

"I'm sorry, Shinjo, Asuka... I'm afraid we can't offer you much support from Earth."

Masaki's voice rang out in the secret channel. He sincerely apologized to the two of them because Earth was also facing considerable trouble at the time and he simply couldn't spare the time. Otherwise, he would definitely have taken the initiative to attack!

"There's nothing we can do; yours is even more difficult to handle than ours."

"Don't blame yourself; protecting the Earth is the most important thing."

hum!

hum!

Several tiny dots of light appeared in the satellite orbit above the Earth. These were reinforcement units taking off from various bases, dispersing in different directions to establish an initial interception line.

—Although we can't spare any "human" personnel, we have plenty of drones!

"Ow~~~"

Inside the Arctic Circle, the sound of ice sheets being crushed underfoot is as piercing as a tearing thunderclap.

A tall, spider-like monster was moving swiftly across the ice field. Its eight relatively slender legs pierced rows of deep pits in the ice. Its body was covered with a layer of grayish-white carapace, almost blending into the surrounding ice and snow.

After running wildly for a long time, it stopped for a moment, turned its head slightly as if to confirm its direction, and then its body suddenly sank down and pounced forward.

A flash of light, and Tiga's figure appeared precisely there, while the spider monster, as if it had foreseen this, seized the opportunity before Tiga could react—

Stab it!

Tiga dodged to the side the instant it landed, but his shoulder grazed the side of the forelimb, and his chest was also scraped hard!

But the monster couldn't stop in time, its forelimb slamming into the ice, sending up a large spray of ice shards. Tiga grabbed the joint of that forelimb with his other hand, his fist clenched, the surface of his fist enveloped in a layer of blue-white light as he gathered his strength—

boom!

With a single punch, the power was comparable to a burst of light. The ice and carapace shattered simultaneously, and the forelimb was severed in two at the joint.

The monster let out a sharp screech, its body recoiled, its severed limbs dangling in the air, and its remaining legs adjusted its center of gravity on the ice before fearlessly lunging forward again!

Tiga didn't even take a single step. A layer of red light patterns appeared on the surface of his body, and the lines of his shoulders and arms became noticeably thicker, making him look much stronger than before.

He stepped forward to face the direction the monster was charging from, grabbed the sides of its mouth with both hands, and twisted its head to the side. Then, he slammed his knee into the monster's abdomen, causing its entire body to fall backward.

Just like a professional wrestler, clean and efficient!

The monster struggled on the ice with its legs, trying to grab the ground again, but Tiga didn't give it a chance. Instead, he grabbed the base of its other forelimb and twisted the leg at the opposite angle like wringing out a wet towel.

"Don't blame me for being cruel! Ye Shou said that arthropod monsters don't feel pain!"

Tiga was giving it his all, while Daigo muttered to himself inside, "Speaking of which, there have been far too many monsters awakening these past few days..."

Chapter 522: Let Me Grant You Your Predestined Death! (Two Chapters Combined, 8.5K)

Ye Shoushu sat comfortably on the sofa, admiring his companions' heroic figures as they fought against the monsters and aliens, commenting on how much they had grown.

During this period, Earth has been attacked more and more frequently, but unless it is an extremely dangerous event, Ye Shou will not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he will leave everything to Daigo and the others to handle, while he stays at headquarters, or rather, keeps a close eye on the moon.

He must ensure the plan is implemented smoothly, removing the shadow of the dark vortex from the Earth's skies, and all the obstacles he encounters in the process are actually foreseeable.

If there truly is a mechanism for balancing light and darkness in this world, then we have undoubtedly reached an extremely fragile critical point. If we can break through it, the power of darkness will be completely suppressed, and light will usher in a period of rapid development.

Naturally, the closer one gets to this goal, the stronger the world's resistance or trials become!

So whether it's the "Heisei Three Heroes" or the "New Generation" monsters that appear, Ye Shou remains unfazed, simply dealing with whatever comes his way!

...But it won't end so easily.

What they are fighting now is not a monster, but a formless yet omnipresent entity called "Great Cosmic Malice". Even if something more grotesque than an evil god emerges in the end, Ye Shou will not be surprised at all.

-

On this day, in the crater landport on the far side of the moon, all the lights were simultaneously turned up to their highest brightness. The Magus cells, arranged in low lunar orbit, lit up one by one, and the signal lights changed from flashing to constant illumination.

The heat dissipation patterns on the outer shell began to glow with a pale golden light, spreading from the edges to the center. At the same time, the redstone satellites scattered in Earth's orbit also woke up from hibernation one by one. The angle of the wings was slightly adjusted, the collection plate was aligned with the direction of the sun, and then the core was opened to expose the redstone body, which was aligned with the direction of the moon.

The entire system operates autonomously under preset synchronization instructions, and by utilizing state-of-the-art quantum communication technology, the operation interval of each unit is compressed to less than milliseconds.

hum!

Thousands upon thousands of beams of light were generated from the Magus unit, shooting out like a counter-attacking storm. As they passed through the outer shell of the Redstone satellite, they were refracted, amplified, and condensed, shrinking from the originally scattered white light into a straight golden-red beam.

The beams of light maintained a fixed angle to each other, as precise as calibrated rulers and compasses, shooting out from different directions and passing through the vacuum, converging in mid-air.

The giant vortex is currently positioned exactly on the line connecting the Earth and the Moon, or rather, this is the moment that TPC has been waiting for!

This all-consuming entity slowly rotated, its dark edges revealing distinct iridescent outlines under the starlight. Its internal structure remained an unfathomable pure black, but its overall posture had stabilized, showing no signs of going out of control... all thanks to Carmilla.

The Dark Queen has been coming frequently these days to absorb or reduce the energy of the vortex. Although she doesn't dare to make any major changes, she can still make some adjustments, which has effectively suppressed the expansion of the vortex and bought humanity enough time to complete their plan.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The golden-red beams of light began to deflect as they approached the edge of the vortex, as if refracted by an invisible lens—proving that this thing had a gravitational pull comparable to that of a black hole.

In fact, if Earth hadn't been secretly protected by Ye Shou and countered with "light," it would have been attracted to it long ago.

Over the past few days, Daigo and the others have dealt with quite a few of the twenty monsters, including some near-boss level beings like the Golden Dragon. The back-and-forth battles have left them quite exhausted, but everyone agrees that Ye Shou has been the one who has worked the hardest during this period.

Because, unseen by most, this man has been carefully maintaining this planet... Protection is far more difficult than fighting.

huh~

The beam of light changed from a straight line to an arc. Part of it grazed the edge of the vortex and dissipated into the distant deep space, but most of the beam of light still hit the outer edge of the vortex after being deflected.

The brightness at the point of contact suddenly increased, and tiny sparks of light appeared around the edge of the dark substance, like a red-hot iron hammer striking ice. This immediately triggered a violent reaction, with golden ripples, like lightning, leaping and flashing, slowly spreading towards the center and gradually eroding the structure at the edge of the vortex...

Ye Shou stood on the observation platform, his gaze fixed on the detection map on the screen, constantly monitoring the energy changes of the giant vortex. He did not try to speed up the process, but simply watched quietly as the beams of light hit the predetermined area one by one, covering an uneven but continuously expanding bright area at the edge of the vortex with different power and rhythm.

There were no crashes, no uncontrolled deviations, and all deviations were within the redundancy range.

—Humanity has indeed developed tools capable of combating the apocalyptic crisis through its own efforts.

Although it requires using the advanced technology that Ye Shou brought from another world~

In that case, Ye Shou could confidently let humanity enter the interstellar era.

If we neglect to improve ourselves because of the protection of giants, then it will be difficult for Earth to break through the limits of ancient civilizations. Fortunately, with the guidance of TPC, humanity has not forgotten the principle of self-improvement and has not blindly prayed for the help of supernatural forces.

And this is exactly what Ye Shou hoped to see—

Ultraman and humans can support each other, rather than one side completely depending on the other.

Otherwise, this relationship would be too abnormal...

People in the command center breathed a sigh of relief, and sighs of relief filled the air. Everything was proceeding according to plan—the alarm suddenly went off!

New scan results kept popping up on the screen, sending out an overload signal!

At this moment, an unusually dense gravitational disturbance signal, exceeding the recording limits of the probe, has appeared at the distant edge of the solar system!

The scale is larger than the previous fleet formation... no, it's not even in the same order of magnitude!

"As expected, things won't go smoothly. We need to get the Uranus to evacuate immediately. They can't handle this number. We mustn't make any unnecessary sacrifices."

As soon as Sawai finished speaking, his attention was completely drawn to an object, and even someone as composed as him couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat:

The main screen displays a wide-area space scan. About 20,000 kilometers from Pluto's orbit, an extremely unusual shadowy outline appears. It is larger than the moon and at first glance looks like a moon of Jupiter... However, its surface is covered with layers of dark metallic structures, showing obvious signs of artificial construction, but it is moving towards the interior of the solar system at a steady speed.

Following behind it were thousands of ships of different types, all moving in the same direction at the same speed. They looked less like an army following a monarch and more like a swarm of asteroid fragments being pulled by the gravity of a larger mass.

"Oh no..."

The main screen began to calculate the gravitational field strength of the fortress planet in real time. The reading rose rapidly and soon exceeded the safety threshold. The warning information marked on the edge changed from yellow to orange, and then from orange to red.

Its volume is only slightly larger than the moon, but its mass is more than a hundred times that of the moon!

hum!

hum!

Several beams of light simultaneously illuminated the Earth, and Tiga, Lucifer, and other human hosts almost simultaneously completed their transformations, cutting into the atmosphere from different directions, rapidly entering space, and then accelerating towards the direction of Jupiter's orbit.

Ye Shou withdrew his gaze, turned to Carmilla, and gave her a word of advice:

This place cannot be left unguarded, so she will be in charge of ensuring the plan can be implemented smoothly.

Wielding the Emperor Blade given to her by Ye Shou, and having activated the Truth Form, Carmilla's strength is second only to Ye Shou. Moreover, she is an all-rounder, capable of dealing with any enemy. Even if multiple monsters appear, she can suppress them steadily!

Although the Dark Queen wanted to fight alongside Ye Shou, she also knew that Earth was the "Home Crystal," and Ye Shou entrusting her with the task of protecting the home meant... She agreed without hesitation.

The next moment, Ye Shou's figure dissipated on the observation platform into a golden streak of light, passing through the dome and disappearing into deep space. It swept across the lunar surface alongside the newly risen Dalam's light stream, leaving two trails of different lengths.

—We must never let that thing get close to Earth!

This is a consensus among everyone!

Even Ye Shou, who was usually calm and collected, couldn't help but want to curse when he saw this steel planet:

With such a massive mass, regardless of whether it has the means to destroy stars (which it certainly does), simply flying past Earth would be enough to tear this planet apart!

If it really comes to that, they'll have to protect Earth and humanity while fighting the fleet to the death, which would be far too restrictive!

We must snipe it from a distance!

When the Warriors of Light arrived near Jupiter, the fortress planet was already only 100,000 kilometers away... The speed was frightening, making one wonder if it had undergone a series of space jumps.

Even with planets obstructing its path, it didn't change course, simply continuing forward at its current speed. When it passed Pluto's orbit, the image of that dwarf planet appeared distorted on the observation map before disappearing from view.

It wasn't an explosion; it was as if it had been erased, vanishing from existence as if it had been swallowed whole by something...

Destroying a planet is not difficult for Ultraman, but he is bound by reason and generally would not do so. However, to completely erase a celestial body like this... even Ye Shou would find it difficult to do.

...Although it's a bit redundant, we can now confirm that the other party is "an enemy, not a friend".

Even during highly sensitive periods, the giants will not act rashly. They will definitely assess the intentions of the other party and only annihilate them if they are confirmed to be harmful to the Earth and humanity.

"The technology is the same system as the fleet that invaded the solar system before... Was that just the vanguard?"

Asuka was utterly astonished:
