What does it mean that the group members have given me back the light?

She was a woman who looked remarkably like me, but whose temperament was completely different.

Her body emitted a soft white fluorescence, as if formed from moonlight, and her long white hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall.

But what's most unsettling are those deep blue eyes, as vast as the ocean.

Pure, vast, yet tinged with an indescribable...sorrow.

The witch in the phantom simply stared intently at her, her gaze seemingly piercing through time and space, carrying a thousand unspoken words.

Just as Himegami Karen was about to ask a question, the phantom vanished into thin mist like a wisp of wind, leaving only a last glimpse of those deep blue eyes, which remained etched in her mind for a long time.

Himegami Karen stood frozen in place, momentarily forgetting to breathe.

Who is that?

Chapter 40 Honkai Beast? Super Beast?

"So, what do you want with the monster?"

After watching Himegami Karen's figure disappear at the end of the platform, Gu Nuo turned to Banami Anna, who was still on the train, and asked her directly.

"Huh? You already know?"

When Banai saw Anja blink, her face showing confusion and her voice carrying a hint of surprise, she realized that Anja had just blinked.

"Mm," Gu Nuo nodded briefly in response.

"Um... what's my name in the group?"

"...Old Eight Big Stomach...you already knew that when you introduced yourself on the first day you joined the group."

"Haha...that's true...Nono..."

The conversation ended abruptly there, and the two fell into a brief silence. The tram continued its journey, with only the regular creaking of the tracks and the occasional announcement of the stops inside the carriage.

Banami Anzu sighed softly, her fingers unconsciously twirling the ends of her hair, but she couldn't help but break the silence.

"...I feel like...our meetup is a bit lacking in ceremony?"

Although knowing the other person's identity beforehand is one thing, when the two parties actually confirm this fact face to face, an indescribable and subtle atmosphere still permeates the air, both familiar and strange, making people feel somewhat at a loss and awkward.

"Hey."

Gu Nuo also sighed slightly: "Let's get down to business."

"Oh."

When Banai saw that Anja obediently responded, she hesitated for a moment, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she began to explain in detail how she got the Fighting Device in the UP pool and how she obtained the Reiblood Gene. She told the whole story without missing a single detail.

then……

"???"

What kind of cosmic training master is this? Why do I have to catch my own starter monster?

Gu Nuo looked at Hanami Anna with a strange expression.

"No, don't look at me like that... You don't think I'm some evil alien and are planning to take me down, do you?"

Seeing that Anzu was feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze, her fingers nervously twisted together.

If it weren't for that ominous premonition in her heart, she wouldn't really want to admit to an Ultraman that she had the ability to control monsters. After all, in the Ultraman series she watched, the only ones who could control monsters, besides Ultraman Seven, were evil aliens like Alien Baltan and Yapool.

Fortunately, Gu Nuo didn't think too much about it.

"I just feel it's a real shame."

Gu Nuo shook his head with a hint of regret: "If it were earlier, perhaps I could help you, but the situation is quite special now. If nothing unexpected happens, the alien beasts will stop moving during this period, making it difficult for us to find what you want."

He did feel regret. Having fought against the alien beasts many times, he knew best the terrifying fighting ability of these creatures. If Anna Hanami could catch one or two of them and was willing to lend a hand occasionally when necessary, his pressure would be much less.

"Special case?"

Bana saw Anja pause for a moment, a puzzled look on her face.

She only learned from Xiao Kui that there would be no monsters appearing in the near future, but Xiao Kui never mentioned this so-called "special situation".

Is the decrease in the number of monsters because Nono has recently wiped them out almost completely?

Before she could ask any further questions, the tram slowly pulled up to the station where she was going to get off.

Seeing that Anzu could only suppress her questions for the time being, she hurriedly got up and walked towards the car door. Before stepping out of the car, she did not forget to turn back and wave goodbye to Gu Nuo by the window.

"Oh no, this is a security gate."

When Banai saw Anzu subconsciously take out her phone to check the time, she exclaimed in surprise.

She stayed out a bit late tonight, and her family is very strict. Because she was afraid of getting scolded if she came home too late, Hanami Anzu could only hurry home immediately.

She stepped into the house just before the deadline, almost stopping at the last second before curfew. Her mother was standing in the entryway, arms crossed, brows slightly furrowed, her gaze clearly disapproving.

She gave an awkward laugh, not daring to meet her mother's gaze, and quickly crossed the living room with her head down, sneaking into her room like a cat stealing into the house.

After closing the door, Banami Anna finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.

She habitually opened the chat group.

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: @All members]

[Want to drink Mei's juice: This is so strange, I've never seen a Honkai Beast like this before.]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: (image).jpg]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: Uh... why is there a plate of curry rice on a table here, and what looks like a girl's hand on the other side of the table?]

[The Ultimate Elbow Master: This looks like an old movie I've seen before...]

[The Strongest Elbow Master: ??? Kiana-senpai, did you kill someone?]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: Ugh, Tiger, you're the one who's killing people! I just wanted to casually show off the food Mei-senpai made for me!]

[Aspiring to become a champion of justice: ...]

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: Haha~~~ If there's nothing else, let's call it a day. I'm planning to fly to Japan tomorrow to see my daughter, He Li.]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: No, no, no, I don't want to play anymore!]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: (image).jpg]

Hanami Anzu clicked on the picture out of curiosity.

In the center of the image, a monster several meters tall lies sprawled on the ground in a contorted posture.

It vaguely retains the outline of a medieval Western knight, but its whole body is covered with an outer armor that looks like broken armor and pale bones roughly pieced together. At the joints of its limbs, you can see obvious exposed thruster nozzles and sharp metal spikes. A mechanical tail that looks like a scorpion's tail swings limply to the side, but at the end is a multi-tube laser emitter that flashes red light.

At the edge of the picture, a girl with white braids is winking and making a peace sign while taking a selfie.

[The strongest elbow striker: Uh, I don't see anything unusual.]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: Me too. To be honest, Kiana never really showed us what a normal Honkai Beast looks like before.]

[Aspiring to be a champion of justice: Just reveal the answer already, Kiana.]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: Damn it... You don't even want to complain anymore?]

Kiana stood in front of the Honkai Beast's corpse, somewhat annoyed, and put down the selfie pose she had painstakingly struck.

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: Okay, then I'll just reveal the answer directly.]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: I think this guy looks a bit like a super beast.]

Chapter 41 Damn it, Ultraman is still chasing me!!! (3k3)

Super Beast, a classic monster that appears in Ultraman Ace.

It is an extradimensional modified creature and biological weapon created by the evil aliens Yapool, possessing greater combat power and destructive force than Earth monsters.

The most impressive thing is that it has no pain sensation.

[Noah is still chasing me: Kiana, are you awake?]

Gu Nuo had just gotten home when she saw the message and sent a reply.

[Want to drink Mei's juice: Oh dear, I'm really not kidding. Let me show you what the Honkai Beasts of the same type used to look like.]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: (image).jpg]

Gu Nuo clicked on the picture, which also showed the corpse of a monster several meters tall. However, unlike the picture Kiana had sent before, it did not have as much mechanical equipment on its body, and it looked much more harmonious than the monster in that picture.

Ok……

Gu Nuo fell into a brief moment of thought.

Noah is still chasing me: Comparing the two, it's true.

Compared to ordinary monsters, the super monsters created by Yapool have an extremely strong personal style.

This fusion of biological and mechanical elements is one of the most distinctive features of Super Beasts. In pursuit of ultimate power, the Yapools simply and crudely install powerful weapons directly onto biological bodies. Super Beasts like the missile-equipped Belaucon or the unicorn-equipped Baksim belong to this category.

[Noah is still chasing me: So, you think it's possible that it's a super beast created from a Honkai Beast?]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: Yeah, yeah! Nono really understands me!]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: Uh, if Kiana's guess is true...]

Talulah quickly discovered the blind spot.

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: Does that mean that Yapools exist in Kiana's world?]

[Is the first idol of the Reunion Movement possible?]

[The strongest elbow striker: I think it's possible.]

[The strongest elbow striker: After all, even in my world, monsters like the delusional Seven have appeared.]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: ...]

The chat group fell silent for a moment. Although the appearance of the delusional Seven was closely related to the Ultra Seven DVD given by Yuujin Itadori, the mere fact that such a negative energy monster from a completely different system appeared in the world of magic was enough to make people think deeply about the connection behind it.

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: Hiss... I might as well make a trip and try using Hermit Purple for positioning.]

Joseph stroked his chin thoughtfully.

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: But then again, if that Yapool really is hiding in that other dimension like in the original work... even my Stand might not be able to find him.]

It wasn't that he had lost confidence in his Stand ability, but rather that the Yapool aliens were truly special beings.

Besides creating super beasts, manipulating other dimensions is also one of Yapool's specialties.

It can stay in the extradimensional space to create super beasts, travel freely between extradimensional spaces, and teleport super beasts to different spaces at will—this ability is both offensive and defensive, making it a perfect counter to his Hermit Purple.

Noah is still chasing me: Anyway, I'll go check it out first.

[Want some Mei's juice: Huh? Is that okay? Nono, are you free right now?]

Kiana replied with some surprise.

Although the modified Honkai Beast in front of her wasn't too strong yet, and she could still handle it, what if, like in the show, an even larger, colossal super beast appeared later... then she would truly be helpless.

Noah is still chasing me: Yeah, he is.

Gu Nuo replied very quickly.

If Kirino Makio's words are true, and all the alien beasts will cease their activities during this period, then he will indeed have some free time.

and……

Will I die...?

Looking at the Evolution Trustee in his hand, which was flashing with light in a heartbeat-like rhythm, Gu Nuo sighed slightly and silently tightened his grip.

Whatever happens in the near future, all he can do now is deal with as many things as he can in the present moment.
