Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods.

The world's population has decreased dramatically, meaning that the majority of humanity is now involved in the persecution of the Cursed Children.

These children, briefly reborn through flames, showed no mercy to their enemies, returning everything to their former masters.

Despite this, there are still many people in the world who, most of whom did not participate in the persecution, and some who sympathize with their plight and offer a small amount of help.

Some are indifferent to the cursed child, neither participating in the persecution nor stopping others from persecuting them.

There are also those who feel pity, but are afraid of being discriminated against by this distorted society as well, so they can only pretend not to see it.

Although no snowflake in an avalanche is innocent, the cursed children, empowered by vengeance, did not include these groups in their revenge.

Lombard gave them the right to choose for themselves, and therefore these unfortunate children forgave them.

Longbo had no intention of interfering in this matter. At his current level, he had already passed the stage of personally getting involved in everything.

Nowadays, He usually delegates tasks to subordinates or indirectly lets certain people handle them on their own.

Longbo gazed at these unfortunate children, watching as most of the flames on their bodies dissipated, and their demon-like faces gradually returned to their former appearance.

Their anger gradually subsided, they regained their senses, and slowly walked towards those who had also suffered misfortune but still stubbornly lived on in this world.

The cursed children living in the outer city, seeing the evil spirits transformed into little girls, instantly understood that they were also cursed children, their kind who died with malice and anger.

The children of the curse were not afraid when faced with the approaching undead wreathed in flames. When they finally understood what had happened, they burst into tears of grievance, venting their emotions with cries and tears.

The souls who had completed their revenge smiled as they embraced their stubbornly alive companions, stroking their filthy bodies and gently listening to their cries.

The flames surrounding them, which had set the world ablaze, instead of harming the children, transformed into warm light.

These lights, through their embrace, passed on and entered the bodies of every cursed child, silently erasing the virus from their bodies.

As the flames subsided, the cursed children, who had suffered from the virus and were in danger of turning into monsters at any moment, returned to normal.

They will no longer be limited to living to eleven or twelve years old due to the virus, but will be able to grow up smoothly and officially be reborn.

Seeing this, the souls who had gained the power of revenge smiled through their suffering faces, and their last vestiges of obsession dissipated.

They transformed into a hazy white light, released their embrace, and flew into the sky with a sense of relief, disappearing completely from this world without leaving any trace.

Only the drastically reduced population and the miraculously recovered Cursed Children testify that this is not an illusion.

Above Tokyo, wisps of hazy white light passed by Mefilas and the silver-haired girl, gathering in Longbo's palm under their gaze.

Amidst the hazy white light, youthful faces appeared, as if reborn, curiously observing the deity who had given them power.

This scene was clearly displayed in the eyes of the Mefilas alien, prompting him to speak out from his silence.

"The great embodiment of balance is so merciful that we, your faithful followers, feel so ashamed."

Mefilas's words made Longbo look down thoughtfully at the Mefilas alien. "In that case, the remaining cursed children on Earth are yours."

"Since you have such intentions, then I will entrust this task to you."

"Huh?" The Mefilas alien was suddenly overwhelmed by Longbo's unconventional decision. He had only been talking and never intended to take on such a heavy responsibility.

At this moment, he was thinking about how many cursed children there were on Earth, and how much effort he would need to put in if he were to deal with them all.

Mefilas's smile became strained. Faced with this task, he tried to make a final, desperate attempt: "Although I really want to carry out your mission, I still have a mission to complete on another Earth. I can't worry about that now..."

However, Longbo shut him down with a single sentence: "Ultraman and the Star of Light are there. You don't need to stay there. I will send you to a new universe, a new Earth to begin."

In any case, after this incident, this world is no longer suitable for the children of the curse to live in, and taking them away is the best choice.

And now Mefilas is just the right person to do it. Longbo believes that this cowardly Mefilas alien will do his best.

"... "

The alien from Mefilas hesitated, ultimately unable to utter a word, regretting his own sharp tongue and how his attempt to flatter had backfired.

But in the end, he accepted the mission and made a small request: "If possible, I would like to go back to my original Earth and take my spaceship with me."

Taking care of a large group of cursed children is no easy task. If it weren't for the spaceship, the Mefilas aliens would probably have been exhausted. This kind of work is much more difficult than any kind of mischief or protecting Earth.

The Mefilas aliens realized that their wonderful life was slipping away, the contract they had just signed had become worthless, and their restless spirit of causing trouble was completely extinguished.

“Okay,” Longbo agreed to his request.

Beside the Mefilas alien, the silver-haired girl was overjoyed. There was nothing better than knowing that people who had suffered the same fate as her would be settled.

Just as the Mefilas aliens were sighing with their heads down, Longbo's gaze swept across the world once more. All the chosen cursed children, the few kind-hearted old people who had helped them, and those who were willing to leave with them all turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

Longbo naturally wouldn't let Mefilas deal with such a mess alone, so he gave him some support.

When they reappeared, they had been placed in a ball of light the size of a normal person's fist by Longbo, and He threw it into Mephilas's hands.

The Mefilas alien took the white orb of light and finally let out a resigned sigh.

As time passed, the Gastrea, which had been hiding outside the cities and occupied almost the entire world, reverted to their original appearance.

Among them were wild animals, unfortunate humans, and… mutated, cursed children. Longbo differentiated them, placing the cursed children in a sphere of light, while the rest were left to fend for themselves.

In a very short time, the gastroenteritis that had ravaged the earth disappeared without a trace.

Even other dangerous viruses that were preserved intact were slightly modified by Longbo.

Their harm will only exist for those forces that use the virus as a weapon. These viruses will not lead to the birth of beings like the Cursed Children, nor will they give those forces a chance to breathe.

When everything in this world came to a close, Longbo's figure gradually dissipated, along with the two people in his palm.

...

On Earth in the Star of Light universe, Mefilas and a silver-haired girl appear on the streets of a city, the very place where Mefilas disappeared.

Across the street from the two was a middle school, surrounded by the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and teenagers chatting after school.

Mefilas sighed as he looked at the familiar scene, then took out his Beta device and summoned the spaceship that was hovering in near-Earth orbit.

Although he was perfectly capable of traversing the universe in his physical body, he already possessed a spaceship carrying many of his collections and some important equipment.

The spaceship landed stealthily, rapidly shrinking until it finally fell into the hands of the Mefilas aliens.

Having acquired the spaceship, Mefilas prepared to return to the location of the Cosmic Balance Avatar. However, he inadvertently noticed a silver-haired girl staring intently at a nearby street vendor's work vehicle.

The enticing aroma made the girl, who was gripped by hunger, swallow hard.

Seeing this, the Mefilas alien pondered for a moment, then took out his wallet, looked at the last banknote in his hand, and pulled the girl over.

"... "

A few minutes later, he appeared near the park with the girl, both of them holding a snack and savoring it.

Just then, a sound rang out from around the two of them, causing Mefilas to raise an eyebrow.

"Captain? You're actually here!"

We've been looking for you for so long!

Turning around, a man and a woman dressed in black uniforms, with buzz cuts and short hair, jogged over and looked at the Mefilas alien with surprise on their faces.

"It's you guys. I thought you were here to arrest me." Mefilas recognized them as his former colleagues, two young soldiers.

Both men were equipped with rescue and communication devices, but no weapons, which puzzled Mefilas, who muttered to himself, "Aren't they here to arrest me?"

Two young men, graduates of a specialized university, approached, looking apologetic. "What? The captain's here? We thought you'd been captured by aliens! The whole department and rescue team were searching for you..."

The man, who was on duty before the New Year, raised his communicator and reported to the other team members, "The captain has been found. He's safe and sound. The rescue team can withdraw now."

However, before they could finish speaking, a silver head peeking out from beside Mefilas startled them, and they instinctively asked, "Who is this...?"

Mefilas was unsure how to explain, so he simply replied, "A child."

"The captain's child!" The two suddenly realized, but then quickly realized something was wrong. "This is the captain's child?!"

The short-haired woman looked shocked. "So you're an alien too?"

The silver-haired girl didn't understand, but after thinking about it, she nodded. When in doubt, nodding is the best course of action.

Mefilas: "..."

Although she was indeed an alien to humans on Earth, her nodding despite not understanding still left him speechless.

However, aliens…

Mefilas looked at the two team members and asked thoughtfully, "You guys aren't here to arrest me?"

"Why are we arresting the captain?" the man with the buzz cut asked, looking completely bewildered. "What did the captain do wrong?"

"We came out to look for you because you were injured and went missing!"

The more perceptive woman, however, thought of what Mefilas was worried about and smiled gently: "You're hiding because you're worried that your alien identity will be exposed, right, Captain?"

Mefilas fell silent upon hearing this, suddenly realizing that things were not developing as she had anticipated.

Seeing this, the woman smiled and said, "Indeed, I was surprised to hear that the captain was an alien, but the vice-captain and the leader were not surprised."

"They already knew?" Mefilas was shocked again upon hearing this. He believed that he had played his part very well and should not have been exposed in front of humans.

The woman nodded again and said, "That's right, this is what the vice-captain explained to us when you went missing."

“Right when you submitted your resume, we received a message from the island nation’s monster response team that someone had informed us of your identity.”

"... "

"Ultraman, you bastard!"

Mefilas laughed in anger upon hearing this. He never expected that when he reminisced with Ultraman at the tavern and mentioned that he had submitted his resume there, Ultraman would turn around and tell the country's high-ranking officials about it.

"You untrustworthy bastard, I knew it was right of me to skip out on the bill and make you pay."

"We're even now."

Mefilas never expected that he hadn't concealed his identity from the beginning, and that after working in the defense force for several years, he had even been promoted to captain.

This truth surprised Mefilas.

But since it has already happened, Mefilas can only treat it as a thing of the past.

Immediately afterward, the man with the buzz cut seemed to remember something and asked with concern, "Captain, are you alright with your injuries?"

Mefilas looked at the young man he had personally trained and shook his head. "He's alright now."

When he returned here, the Cosmic Balance Avatar healed his injuries, and he is now in full condition, which is why he swaggered out.

"Since everything's alright, let's go back!" the short-haired woman said with a happy expression.

The young people also had faces full of hope and expectation.

However, Mefilas smiled and shook his head.
