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

Gu Nuo was slightly taken aback when he saw this.

Corresponding to the monsters that follow... could the giant of light here refer to Ultraman?

In other words, as long as you use this invitation to go to that place called "Summit of Warriors" and pass the test, it is possible to gain the power to become Ultraman.

Gu Nuo fell into deep thought.

He wasn't too bothered by the fact that O-50 could also produce Ultraman—his own existence itself proved that Ultraman's power was not unique to the Land of Light.

What really surprised him was the sentence: "The number of people bound is limited to three within the chat group."

In other words, if done properly, he can select up to three group members and make them all become like himself.

But as soon as the thought popped into his head, Gu Nuo immediately realized that he had been thinking too simply.

The notes clearly state: This trial has the possibility of failure, and even if you succeed, you may only gain the power of a monster.

The consequences of failure are not specified here. Gaining the power of a monster likely means transforming into something similar to a monster...

If that's the case, then we can't think of it that simply.

Gu Nuo quickly thought it over and decided that, to be on the safe side, he should first go to the so-called Warrior's Peak to scout it out, find out the specific situation and potential risks there, and then decide whether to share the opportunity with other group members after figuring out the situation of the Ultraman on that planet.

He never thought that obtaining Ultraman's power was a purely wonderful thing. The O-50 light ring couldn't be sure if the other party was the same as the Land of Light, so caution was necessary. What if the other party imposed some harsh price while giving him the power, such as forced overtime or working himself to death to meet KPIs? If his group members signed the contract in a daze, then everything would become very unfortunate.

Next, Gu Nuo turned her attention to another item.

【Dark Magic Armor - Dark Armor Core】

[Description: Originating from the core of the armor of Emperor Empera of the Dark Universe, it contains immeasurable dark energy. It can transform into a complete set of armor, granting the wearer immense power to traverse the universe. However, be careful not to be controlled by it.]

[Note: When Alien Empera puts on this armor, it becomes a Super Alien Empera whose combat power increases fiftyfold. It was once confident that this armor would be enough to destroy the Land of Light. However, since its creation, many people have worn this armor, but its true owner has never worn it even once.]

...Slay through...the Land of Light?

Gu Nuo's eyebrows furrowed slightly. So impressive?

If the previous invitations still had some useful information in the notes, this one seems more like bragging.

"Did you notice anything?" Kiana asked curiously.

"Hmm... You might not believe it, but this thing... seems to be a trial invitation that can grant someone the power to become Ultraman."

Gu Nuo snapped out of her daze and spoke amidst the increasingly shocked gaze of the other party.

He answered Kiana's question frankly.

He felt there was no need to hide this from her, since she had gotten this incredible reward entirely because of her good luck.

"Transform...transform into Ultraman?"

Kiana stammered, "But didn't we say before that human hosts can only become Ultraman after being chosen by the giants?"

"I don't know. We still need to investigate the details of that place. It's best not to tell outsiders or the people in the group for now."

Gu Nuo said, reaching out to pick up the invitation and the trident and carefully put them in his pocket.

then……

The evolution believer in his arms seemed to be stimulated by something, and with a "buzz," it automatically sprang out, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointing the sword tip at the invitation, showing unprecedented resistance.

The next second, under the gaze of two pairs of bewildered eyes, the Evolution Trustee actually started poking at the invitation! The invitation seemed to suddenly come to life, nimbly dodging left and right, and finally "whoosh" it slipped into Gu Nuo's arms, trembling slightly, revealing a pitiful and aggrieved posture.

The evolution believer kept circling around Gu Nuo, seemingly annoyed and saying something forcefully.

Gu Nuo: "..."

No, Hajiguang, what are you doing?

He reached out and grabbed the sheathed short blade, forcefully stuffing it back into the pocket of his breast pocket, then said to the dumbfounded Kiana, "Actually, there's something else I want to smoke."

……

As far as the eye could see, there was only eternal decay and deathly silence.

The area that was once called a city is now nothing but a twisted and broken steel skeleton and countless shattered concrete blocks, which crush each other in a desperate manner, silently telling the story of a disaster that has long been forgotten.

The cold moonlight struggled to penetrate the thick, murky clouds of dust, sparingly casting its light upon the ruins, barely illuminating the enormous, twisted corpses scattered across the landscape—monsters of various shapes, frozen in time at the moment of death in bizarre yet utterly tragic poses.

Further away, a colossal giant, now completely reduced to a grayish-white stone statue, lay slumped to the ground, its former grandeur and glory gone, leaving only the cold, lifeless texture of rock.

At the end of this despairing scene, the only bright spot is the giant whose chest is flashing wildly and beeping with an ominous red light.

His majestic body was now covered with shocking wounds, and his eyes, which were once as bright as the moon, were now dim and flickering.

He struggled to steady his swaying body, stubbornly and tenaciously taking a starting stance.

On the opposite side, the distant horizon had been completely occupied by another entity.

It was a towering, dark giant, with jagged, vertical bone spikes on its back like demonic horns piercing the sky, and a suffocating aura surrounding it.

He slowly raised his arm, and deep dark energy began to gather and surge in his palm.

"Chaa ...

With a roar, the giant stomped the ground with his last strength, and his massive body soared into the sky! In mid-air, his figure suddenly split into three, each body burning with the most intense and purest light energy without reservation.

Three dazzling streams of light merged into one, crashing into the destructive torrent that spewed from the dark giant's hand, a torrent capable of annihilating everything!

boom--------!!!

The world fell silent the moment the two extreme forces collided.

The blinding white light engulfed everything.

The earth shattered and collapsed, plowed open by terrifying energy into a bottomless chasm.

The ocean churns, giant waves are instantly evaporated and then condensed, the seabed is exposed and then covered by lava!

The clouds in the sky were completely torn apart, and the atmosphere seemed to wail, as if the entire planet was trembling in pain from this collision.

That destructive light lasted for a very long time, as long as a century.

As the light finally faded and the energy storm subsided, only a deathly silence remained above the ruins.

The figures of the two giants had vanished without a trace.

There were no victors, no wreckage, no trace of existence left behind. It was as if that earth-shattering, world-determining final collision had never happened.

…………

"Ho!"

The man suddenly sat up in bed with a start.

Kirino Makio's forehead was covered in cold sweat. His heart pounded wildly in his chest as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand. The buzzing sound of his soaring blood pressure shone sharply in his ears. His violent breathing made his chest ache, and each breath was accompanied by a trembling as if he had survived a catastrophe.

A prophetic dream...it's a prophetic dream...

That incredibly real sense of despair, that intense heat as the light burned out, that tremor as the planet collapsed... everything was clearly imprinted in his sensory memory.

He suddenly turned around, grabbed the notebook and pen from the bedside table, his fingers trembling uncontrollably from lingering fear and urgency.

He desperately tried to record something, but the memories of the dream slipped through his fingers like the receding tide. No matter how hard he tried to concentrate, the images and feelings quickly became blurry and faded.

The pen tip moved wildly across the paper, leaving behind neither words nor clear patterns, but only a jumble of chaotic, distorted lines.

"no no……"

Kirino Makio stared at the meaningless mess of scribbles on his notebook, breathing heavily in despair, his fingers digging deep into his hair.

"Remember! Remember! You must remember!"
