Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

The three underground Pipah Tanks moved forward. Leo came to the big screen, glanced at the location, and found something was wrong. The seal of the Fire Demon Beast was lower than the location of the magma anomaly. If it wasn't the Fire Demon Beast, then what could it be?

Soon, the answer was revealed to everyone. The three underground Pipa tanks dug and froze as they went, and what appeared on the screen was a face that everyone on Earth was familiar with.

"Golzan?"

In front of the underground Pipa Tank, a Golza hangs upside down, stuck in the rock wall. Below it is scalding magma, and much more magma is being absorbed by it as it flows down the wall.

“It’s absorbing energy from the magma… wait, zoom in, that’s it.” Leo stared at the scar on Golza’s left eye. “Get the geological survey data of Mount Kirimon from recent years.”

"We've found out that Mount Wumenyue showed signs of eruption about ten years ago, but it didn't attract much attention at the time."

I also realized what was happening and immediately retrieved the data from ten years ago, because they all recognized that this Golza was the first Golza that appeared ten years ago and started the monster disaster.

Back then, the Earth Defense Force did not have the ability to eliminate Golza. This guy appeared on the ground and wreaked havoc in many cities, causing more than 100,000 casualties.

TPC rallied its forces, with veterans like Hayata Susumu leading a battle squad to confront Golza. They were also aided by the suddenly appearing monster codenamed Tiguris, which finally repelled Golza. However, many people, including Asami Agatha's son Asami Kawa, were killed in the battle.

In other words, there is an irreconcilable hatred between humans and this Golza. Now that they have seen it today, it is impossible to let this guy escape again.

However, this matter had far-reaching implications, and Leo promptly reported it to Director Sawai and Director Yoshioka, as well as the heads of various branches.

"What?! We've found that Golza that escaped all those years ago?" Chief Yoshioka slammed his hand on the table. "Damn it, let's get it! We can't let this guy escape again! I'm gathering the men right now!"

This Golza left an indelible wound on all of humanity. Letting it escape was a disgrace to the entire TPC. Now that it has been found, it is naturally impossible to let it go.

"No need. Golza has been absorbing magma energy for nearly ten years, so his strength must have increased significantly. But ESCG is capable of handling it. Sending more people could lead to unnecessary casualties and losses."

"Tsk... Fine, I'll listen to you, but I'm making this clear first: kill it, no matter what it takes!"

Leo would do this even without Director Yoshioka's insistence. Director Sawai also sent a message instructing Leo to eliminate this Golza, preferably using the Armory King Joe if possible.

"Is the evacuation completed?"

"The last group of people just left, and now it's SKIP's turn."

Seemingly sensing that the flow of magma had become sluggish, Golza vaguely considered taking action again, and the Stringman Captain made a decisive decision.

"Launch the monster tracker! We can't let it get away any longer!"

So, the three underground Pipah Tanks opened fire simultaneously, and the monster tracker was also hit on Golza. Golza roared, then burrowed into the ground and disappeared from everyone's sight.

At the same time, the previously calm magma suddenly began to churn again, and the entire volcano began to shake violently. As the screen shook violently, the image of the underground Pipa Tank went black.

"The underground Pipa tank has lost contact!"

"Their mission is complete. Now it's our turn. Everyone, get ready for battle. Even if we die today, we'll drag this guy down with us."

Leo casually tossed the pen aside, and everyone headed towards their respective fighter jets. Daigo seemed to want to say something, but then thought better of it.

"The enemy has been lurking in the Kirimondake volcano for ten years. After absorbing the power of the volcanic magma, they must be stronger than before. Judging from the footage of the underground Pipa tank, it is about 80 meters tall, which is much taller than a normal Golza. It probably also has some special abilities."

A typical Golza is only about 60 meters tall. Who knows what level this Golza, which absorbed ten years of magma energy and grew to over 80 meters tall, is at? What's certain is that this guy's fire resistance is ridiculously high.

Furthermore, there's something Leo didn't say, but everyone vaguely guessed: Golza hid here for ten years without being discovered, so how could he possibly be exposed today? There must be another reason.

"Did the mastermind know or discover that Golza was under the volcano, so they deliberately provoked the eruption to make Golza absorb the magma more quickly, and the magma flow was to break the seal on the Fire Demon Beast?"

Leo has probably gotten a reliable guess, but he is not sure who is behind it, whether it is the Destruction Summoning Entity, Sphia, or Zagi, who has only made one move so far.

"At a depth of 1,800 meters underground in Golza, the underground penetrating missile is ready to launch in one minute."

Underground penetrating rounds are now being deployed in large quantities, but they are all mounted on the ground, not the original version that can wipe out the ground with a single shot.

Leo himself piloted the King Joe, preparing to go full power and have a head-to-head battle with Golza. Meanwhile, a long launch pad was set up on a nearby hilltop.

"Vice Captain, what is that?" Meng and the others had only just seen the device and didn't know what it was.

"For the electromagnetic accelerator launcher, I had the equipment department forge a spear out of Pedanium alloy. It was originally intended to target the Sphia chimera. Since Golza can absorb magma energy, I suspect that laser weapons might not be effective against it. This thing is perfect for it."

Looking at the sharp spear, Captain Stringman couldn't help but have a thought. This thing... might be useful to him after he becomes a Blaze.

"Underground penetrating missile, fire!"

The missile bay of the Ordnance King Joe opened, and one after another, underground penetrating missiles flew out and burrowed into the ground, heading towards Golza.

A single penetrating bomb has a penetration range of 800 meters, so it needs to clear the way for the ones following behind. Leo calculated the time: the second bomb would pass after the first one exploded, and the third bomb would follow after the second one exploded...

"The penetrating bomb has hit its target. Golza is about to emerge!"

The subsequent underground penetrating bombs were quite powerful. Golza's defenses were not on par with the super-large Five Emperors. Enraged by the bombs, it emerged from underground. The scars left by the Earth Defense Force when it was defeated by Tiguris were still there, and it was determined to take revenge this time!

"Target spotted, fire indiscriminately!"

At Leo's command, ESCG and Victory Team unleashed their full firepower, missiles and beams completely engulfing the newly emerged Golza, sending huge plumes of smoke and flames soaring into the sky.

But this only made Leo more uneasy. Putting aside the law of accidental injury from smoke, the monster tracker also showed that Golza was not injured at all; the guy was still holding on.

As expected, a red sonic ray pierced through the smoke and shot towards Armory King Joe. Leo piloted King Joe and raised his left hand to block it. Armory King Joe was actually pushed back several steps. The scorching high temperature alarm also made Leo realize that this Golza was already much stronger than its name suggested.

This guy's sonic beams almost melted even Armored King Joe's arm; this is genuine Pedanium alloy.

As the smoke cleared, Golza stood unharmed on the ground. Its entire body had turned red with flame-like patterns, and its enlarged body made its head appear smaller, making it look terrifyingly massive.

Golza kept his eyes fixed on Leo's armored King Joe. Daigo took the lead and used the EXJ Alpha to attack Golza's chest with a beam, which was absorbed as expected.

Even more surprisingly, the light that Komon shone on Golza's shoulders and arms was also absorbed; this guy's entire body has the ability to absorb light!

Leo dared not be careless. The Armored King Joe system operated at three times the power of the regular King Joe and collided with the Flame Golza. Unexpectedly, the Armored King Joe, which was three times stronger than the regular King Joe, was no match for its opponent in terms of strength and was knocked away by Golza.

Is this the kind of strength Golza should have?!

Seeing King Joe being sent flying backward by the impact, Daigo remembered that in his battle memories, the Flame Golza had only absorbed magma energy for a few months or less than a year, while this guy in front of him had absorbed it for a full ten years!

Chapter 103 Golza Must Die

This thing can no longer be called Golza; that's what everyone present was thinking. This thing is even stronger than Armory King Joe's, and Leo doesn't dare to go full power in front of it.

Having absorbed too much magma energy, this flame—or rather, this lava Golza—was radiating unimaginably intense heat simply by standing there. The surrounding trees began to wither and turn yellow, and then even burst into flames.

Even with the excellent heat insulation properties of Pedanium alloy, King Joe cannot operate at full power under such intense high temperatures, as it would have a high probability of self-destruction!

In this situation, the best option would actually be Dimaga, but that silly girl won't be able to arrive for quite some time. And as Director Sawai said, if we could use Armory King Joe to take down this guy, it would boost morale for all of humanity!

"Captain, please fire the freeze beam and liquid freeze bombs for cover. Meng, analyze where this guy's weak point is!"

Leo piloted the armored King Joe and charged forward again, while the others began firing freezing beams and freezing bullets to lower the surrounding temperature. Although they couldn't reduce Golza's own high temperature, they could at least prevent King Joe from overheating.

Lava Golza is larger and stronger than the Armored King Joe in its normal output. Leo adjusted his output to four times the normal power of King Joe before he could barely contend with it.

Leo's immediate feeling was that he couldn't take it head-on. Lava Golza turned around and swung its tail, but King Joe dodged it by disintegrating into its body. At the same time, the Destruction Beam hit its eyes directly, but was absorbed.

Ray skills were useless against this Golza. Tsk, Leo manipulated the weapon King Joe to combine again, raised his hand and slapped the lava Golza across the face. Under this force, the lava Golza was also a little dizzy, but then roared and grabbed King Joe's hand, preparing to fire an ultrasonic ray.

Captain Stringman fired decisively, and the freezing missile hit Golza's head, briefly distracting it. At the same time, Leo shoved the Max Cannon directly into Golza's mouth, not believing that the guy could absorb light through his mouth!

Lava Golza immediately realized Leo's plan and revealed its ferocity. It actually used its mouth to bite and deform the front end of King Joe's cannon barrel, but Leo did not back down at all.

In an instant, a violent explosion engulfed both of them, and both Armory King Joe and Lava Golza stumbled several steps and fell to the ground.

Lava Golza's mouth and the tip of its head were injured by the explosion, and its already injured left eye was completely blinded. The cannon barrel of King Joe's left arm was blown off in half, and part of it could not be deformed.

Leo checked and found that Armory King Joe's right hand could no longer participate in the transformation, but at least he had disabled some of the guy's attack methods.

Fire Golza has strong physical defense, but not as strong as Armory King Joe. However, this guy has absorbed magma energy for so many years, so he has developed a strong resistance to fire and explosion. His entire body, even the soles of his feet, can absorb light.

"Vice-Captain, are you alright?" Daigo's urgent call came through Leo's earpiece. "I'm fine, but this guy... isn't the temperature around us getting higher and higher?"

Since the appearance of Lava Golza, the surrounding temperature has risen to over 400 degrees Celsius, and Leo feels it is still rising.

"Vice Captain, this guy has absorbed too much magma energy and seems to be out of control. If this continues, it will self-destruct. If all the energy in its body is released, the surrounding area will be... There is still a power within it!"

As I finished speaking, Leo watched as Lava Golza stood up, its entire body emitting a dazzling red light. What was even more surprising was that this light actually resonated with the Renlong Treasure Jade within Leo's body.

At the same time, inside Unit 1, Imu was surprised to take out the Blue Sapphire Cone from his pocket. Watching the Blue Sapphire Cone flash, he finally realized what the other power in Lava Golza's body was.

Ultraman Gaia's light is inside this guy? Leo almost shouted it out. No, Renlong didn't mention this. No, maybe Renlong didn't know this either.

Leo suddenly remembered that Agul had done the same thing. During the final battle of the Dark War, Agul fought against Gazokum. For various reasons, he could only separate his light to seal the other party. At that time, Renlong was seriously injured, so it was normal that she did not know some things.

The astonishment didn't last long. The red light was withdrawn by Lava Golza, and its body underwent some changes. A color timer like Ultraman appeared on its chest, and its muscles grew much larger, clearly indicating an increase in strength.

More importantly, its injuries had already healed. And yes, Ultraman Gaia is one of the representatives of the light of the earth; he can gain energy simply by standing on the ground, plus the inherent characteristics of Lava Golza…

Leo suddenly hoped that this was the most troublesome enemy of the day. Feeling the powerful force within him, Lava Golza strode towards Leo. All the attacks from ESCG and GUTS hit it as if it were nothing more than mosquito bites.

However, the sheer number of bugs was annoying, especially since everyone's attacks were aimed directly at its face, which greatly troubled Lava Golza. It opened its mouth and shot out a scorching beam of light, but it missed, because it was trying to hit the Beta machine piloted by Lina.

Lava Golza stopped in his tracks, scorching energy coursing through his body. The surrounding temperature soared rapidly, igniting the forest and even causing the rocks around him to melt. Captain Stringman knew immediately that something was terribly wrong. "Everyone, get away immediately!"

The next second after everyone moved away, a burst of intense red energy emanated from Golza's body, instantly enveloping everything within several kilometers. Everything was vaporized, and the earth turned into scorched earth. Leo's armored King Joe was unable to dodge in time, and the intense heat instantly destroyed King Joe's cooling system.

If it weren't for Reonic's formidable physical attributes, Reo would have been roasted to a crisp in an instant, but the temperature at King Joe Bridge was already out of control.

Also affected were Gamu and Fujimiya's Unit 1. The intense heat almost instantly grabbed them, and the two of them didn't even have time to shout before they transformed. When Fujimiya transformed into Agul, he didn't forget to rescue the fighter jet and send it far away.

Of course, he deliberately damaged the flight engine to create a reasonable explanation for his and Meng's absence. As for repairs? That's simple. The engine is a replaceable part, so there's no need to worry about being dealt with by Captain Hebikura's Snake Heart Sword.

Also unlucky were Captain Gentoo and Gai Kurenai's EXJ. In the split second, they fired freeze beams and freeze missiles at the back of GUTS and Daigo, slowing down the speed of the high-temperature energy, but their own fighter jet was instantly burned and crashed into the sea.

Thus, Gaia, Agul, Blaze, and Orb appeared on the battlefield together, assuming a fighting stance to confront Lava Golza.

Blaze and Agul exchanged a glance. The former already possessed powerful basic strength, while the latter had only recently regained his V2 strength. At this moment, they should be the vanguard, so they charged forward in one go and punched Golza.

Then they realized that not only were light skills ineffective against Lava Golza, but melee combat was also useless, because this guy's body temperature was at least tens of thousands!

Agul and Blaze quickly let go and stepped back, shaking their hands. The Lava Golza had only managed to take a few steps back after the punch, but they were already burned, just like an ordinary person throwing a punch at a red-hot iron.

After all, Ultraman's physical defenses are not as abnormal as King Joe's, nor are they as painless as King Joe.

Lava Golza looked at the Ultramen and King Joe with amusement. It remembered these Ultramen and the war that took place 30 million years ago. Back then, these giants of light were so powerful that they could kill it with a single blow.

So Golza hid, hiding until he fell into a deep sleep. Before he fell asleep, he clearly remembered that this red Ultraman (Gaia) had fought a red Lagras here. In the end, they both perished, and the light of the other was left behind on this land.

Golza found this place ten years ago, absorbing energy and devouring light in an attempt to master this power. Until yesterday, it suddenly sensed a very powerful dark force, which frightened it into increasing its absorption of magma, thus causing the volcanic eruption.

Now, Golza felt no fear even if the powerful darkness was in front of it. It was completely unaware that its body had begun to disintegrate. It had absorbed too much magma energy and forcibly used the Light of the Earth.

Seeing that the enemy was of the high-temperature attribute, Gai took out the Taro and Mebius cards he had obtained earlier. Ultraman Orb was engulfed in flames and transformed into a form similar to Taro. He rushed forward to fight the lava Golzabo, but even in this form, Orb was in great pain.

"No, this thing can absorb our light, and its body temperature is too high. There's no way we can fight it."

"Lead it to the beach and throw it into the sea." Agul felt that this Golza couldn't be dealt with by conventional means. Having absorbed so much magma energy over the years, and with the light of Gaia V2, this guy had already reached the level of the former Gaia SV. Even if Gaia turned back into SV, it would be difficult to deal with it because of its high-heat body surface and light absorption ability.

Ultraman found it difficult to deal with Lava Golza, as the opponent was indeed a formidable enemy. It would have been better if Zetton and Demaga had been there at this time.

But Leo didn't think so. In fact, if he wanted to, he could call Zetton back right now. Dimaga and Magabasa would be arriving soon too. However, this Golza had too many enemies, and Leo didn't want it to die at the hands of Ultraman or Zetton. He had to find an opportunity, a chance to kill it in one blow.

Besides, this isn't the final battle yet. Leo already has a plan in mind to preserve the Ultramen's power.

Lava Golza's power surpassed Orb's, easily knocking him to the ground. Gaia V2's photon ice blade, charged from above, swept towards the Ultras. At the same time, Armory King Joe fired Max Cannon to collide with it. The powerful explosion obscured the vision of both sides, and the shockwave overturned the scorched earth.

The armored King Joe burst through the thick smoke and charged toward the lava Golza. Leo disarmed the already blown-out cannon barrel on King Joe's right arm, and all the missiles were launched directly. Leo had to take a risk this time.

All the missiles exploded before they even hit Lava Golza. Without dodging or flinching, it collided directly with Armory King Joe again. But this time, it was Lava Golza that was surprised. It had gained initial control over the light within its body, and its power had increased to a higher level. It was actually suppressed by this guy that it could knock away at first.

Because the current Armored King Joe is operating at full power, its strength is six times that of the ordinary King Joe. The malfunction of the internal cooling system and the high temperature on Golza's body surface have caused the machine to almost catch fire. Even with its own air conditioning, the temperature in Leo's cockpit exceeds 300 degrees Celsius.

All of King Joe's functions had reached their critical points, all systems were alarming, the weapon system was malfunctioning, and it was only a few steps away from being completely scrapped. Leo's cockpit had been torn open by Lava Golza's claws.

However, Leo did not back down. Instead, he directly activated the anti-gravity engine at full power, pushing the lava Golza into the sky. Golza did not know what Leo was trying to do, but it had already gathered its power again, preparing to use the same large-scale destructive method as before. If it were hit at this distance, King Joe would definitely be destroyed!

"It's now!"

Just a second before the system completely went out of control, Leo disengaged King Joe's fusion. The upper body, where the cockpit was located, broke free from Lava Golza's restraints and forcefully ejected, just in time to reveal the color timer generated on Golza's chest after absorbing the light of the earth.

The upper body of Armored King Joe was ejected and landed next to the launch pad that had just been destroyed. Leo operated Armored King Joe's left hand and grabbed the Pedanium Spear, inserting it into the cannon barrel in his right hand, aiming it at Lava Golza's color timer.

With all aim assist malfunctioning and Max's power system severely overheating, he only had one chance. He had to aim with his naked eye and pull the trigger the instant the Lava Golza unleashed its powerful energy. The Pedanium alloy piercing spear shot out in an instant.

The powerful radiant heat was pierced by the sharp spear, but Leo used his telekinesis to control it and prevent it from veering off course. Golza couldn't fly and had no time to dodge. Leo caught it during its recovery and the Pedanium spear pierced straight through its color timer.

The lava Golza, which was already on the verge of going out of control due to energy collision, suddenly produced a large amount of energy leakage. Its body expanded and collapsed uncontrollably, burning its own brain, but fortunately it did not cause an explosion, and its corpse fell down.

The crowd quickly stood in front of Leo, erecting a protective shield to block the radiating heat from Lava Golza's body and prevent Leo from getting hurt. However, this time King Joe would not only need major repairs, but most of it would have to be rebuilt.

But it was worth it, very worth it. Leo could hardly imagine the anger his predecessors felt when they watched Golza wreak havoc and then escape, or what the relatives of those who died because of Lava Golza must have felt all these years.

To be honest, Leo was just taking a gamble. He wasn't sure if the Color Timer was a weakness of Lava Golza. It was just that Emperor had talked to Leo before and believed that the Color Timer itself was the energy manifestation of the Ultramen, at least the Ultramen here.

The reason why the color timer appears on the body surface is mostly to better utilize energy, or perhaps due to some unavoidable limitation. In any case, for Ultraman, the color timer is indeed a weakness.

If it weren't for Lava Golza's own greed, absorbing magma energy and planning to devour the Earth's Light, taking it down would have been much more difficult. Of course, this guy couldn't possibly be a match for several Ultramen. Leo estimated that it was only about the same strength as Dimaga. The reason why several Ultramen couldn't deal with it was simply because its mechanism was too unique.

However, if it encounters the powerful and heat-resistant Dimaga, then even with Gaia's power, Lava Golza would die today, because Dimaga is its natural counter.
