"Specium Ray—!!"

The next second, blue rays swept across the entire platform like a waterfall.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Violent explosions rang out one after another in the darkness, and countless alien soldiers were reduced to shattered debris amidst screams.

Just as Hong Kai released his beam, an alien who had slipped through the net quietly circled behind him, his body radiating a cold light.

"Kaisan, bow your head!"

Hong Kai responded almost instantly upon hearing this, and suddenly lowered his body.

The next second, the golden light of Mebium on Future's wrist shone brightly, and a crescent-shaped light blade roared out, directly blasting the alien away!

"Well done, Future," Hong Kai praised with a smile.

Just then, the leader of the Muzhen aliens, who had been lying in wait on the roof of the vehicle, finally made a move.

It leaped down from the top of the train, its sharp claws clashing in mid-air, frantically clawing at Hong Kai like a meat grinder.

Hong Kai raised his arm to block, and sparks flew wildly the moment their skin made contact.

The Wood-Piercing Starman steadied himself, his claws lashing out like a saber-toothed tiger tearing apart its prey.

Upon seeing this, Hong Kai quickly dodged to the side.

"Boom!!" The claws embedded themselves deeply into the wall next to Hong Kai, sending debris flying everywhere.

"Wow, you seem to have some skill."

Hong Kai's eyes flashed with anger, and he suddenly sprang up, grabbing the arm of the Wood-like alien tightly.

Then, his right hand transformed into a chopstick, striking the joint of the wooden alien as if chopping down a tree, and the wooden alien's arm emitted a dull cracking sound.

"Uh..." The Wood-Pure Starman gasped, and his mouthparts instantly split open from both sides.

Taking advantage of this brief opening, Gai clenched his fist, and the [Ultraman Zero] card in the air instantly shone with golden light!

Two illusory head-shaped darts shot out from the light and shadow, frantically weaving through the narrow space of the tunnel, instantly cutting down the remaining aliens and precisely detonating several light blasts in the air.

In that moment of distraction, despite the excruciating pain of his severed arm, the Wood-Piercing Alien used his other intact claw to slash directly at Red Kai's face!

"Um?!"

Hong Kai reacted quickly, trying his best to lean back and dodge, but the sharp claws still grazed his forehead, shaving off a strand of hair.

Seeing the falling hair, Hong Kai's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

"Hey, you've really angered me!"

Hong Kai no longer held back, closing in and raining punches down on the wooden alien.

the other side.

The Muzhen alien who got up pulled out a pistol and started shooting wildly at the future while screaming.

In the future, light energy converges beneath one's feet, and one's figure moves swiftly through the complex ruins of the tunnel, like an elf traversing through light and shadow.

Then, he stood upside down on the ceiling, staring intently at the Wood-like alien.

Then, he accurately found the weakness of the Wood-Earthling, and his body leaped down like a falcon, grabbing the Wood-Earthling by the neck and smashing him into the concrete ground with a violent slam!

"Ahhhh!!!"

The future showed no mercy, gathering Mebius's light energy in its palm.

A close-range bombardment directly pulverized the Muzhen alien beneath him into dissipating specks of light.

The battle ended completely in just three minutes.

"call……"

Just as Future stood up to look back at Hongkai's side,

"boom!"

"The Mebium Ray!!!"

A beam of light, carrying a blinding golden glow, flew past him and slammed into the wall at the end of the tunnel, dragging the badly injured leader of the Wood-Dwelling Star People along with it.

"Sizzle!!"

The Wood-Piercing Starman was pinned to the wall by this brute force, letting out painful screams.

As the light faded, it slid helplessly to the ground like a lump of mud, completely losing its ability to resist.

Kai dusted off his hands and stuffed Mebius's card back into his pocket.

His gaze pointed towards the future, and the two walked side by side step by step to the front of the Wood-Tree alien.

Hong Kai bent down, grabbed the Wood-Dweller by the collar, and lifted him up like a dead dog.

"Now, answer my question: where did you take the other cosmic refugees hiding in this area? What exactly are you trying to achieve by going to such lengths to harm these vulnerable lives?"

His voice was as cold as ice.

The Wood-Pure Alien was being strangled and could hardly breathe, green mucus dripping from the corner of its mouth.

"You're too late...too late!"

Its eyes, filled with resentment, were fixed on Hong Kai, as if he were a dead man.

"The prey... has already been packaged up and sent to the [sky]! The cries of those weak lives are the best nourishment..."

"When enough malice gathers into a river, the [King] will... fully awaken from the dimensional rift!"

"The sky?" Future was startled, as if she had heard something very important.

"What king? Explain yourself!"

Hong Kai's grip remained firm, causing the Wood-Pure Starman to tremble in pain.

"The great... Dimensional King... when he descends, you so-called lights will be torn apart in despair!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dangerous red light suddenly flashed from the heart of the Wood-Piercing Starman, his body began to shatter, and his temperature soared dramatically within a fraction of a second.

"This is... a self-destruction?!"

Kai instantly sensed from this energy the same aura as his own self-destruction in his Blazing Form.

"Oh no!! Retreat quickly!!"

His expression changed drastically. He threw the wooden alien in his hand into the deepest part of the tunnel, grabbed the future's wrist, and turned to run wildly in the opposite direction!

next second.

"BOOM!!!"

A deafening explosion resounded deep underground, as if a miniature nuclear bomb had been detonated! The shockwave instantly destroyed pillars within a radius of hundreds of meters.

A blazing red wave of fire swept through the narrow tunnel like a raging dragon.

Hong Kai and Wei Lai turned around at the same time, and a huge double barrier opened in front of them to block the aftershocks.

Huge boulders crashed down from the ceiling, and the tunnel in front of them collapsed instantly amidst the violent tremors, forming a thick stone wall that completely sealed off the sea of ​​fire from the explosion at the other end.

"Cough...cough cough!"

Hong Kai brushed the dust away, took a deep breath, and glanced at the solid stone wall with lingering fear.

"What a madman."

Future also came to his senses, his expression becoming more solemn than ever before. He wiped the ashes off his face and looked at Hong Kai.

“Kaisan, it just mentioned the [Sky] and the [King of Another Dimension].

"If what it says is true, then this incident is definitely more than just a matter of space hunters hunting refugees."

“Someone is exploiting them to collect the evil thoughts and energy that life generates before death.”

"and……"

An unpleasant memory flashed briefly in the future's eyes.

"I remember that habit of collecting fear and despair as nourishment."

"The Apo people."

Hong Kai coldly uttered this name that was famous throughout the entire universe.

"Yes." Future nodded heavily, a glint of fire igniting in her eyes.

"If it is that, then this trip to Tokyo is destined to be anything but peaceful."

Hong Kai snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the stairs leading to the ground.

"Let's go. We need to make some preparations before Duan Zilian comes back. If the Yapool people really get involved, that kid will suffer a great loss with his current level."

The two quickened their pace and left the underground tunnel filled with the aura of death.

However, none of them noticed what lay behind the pile of collapsed rubble.

The Wood-Dwelling Alien, who should have been blown to smithereens, was now slowly crawling in the shadows, dragging its half-broken body along.

There was no bleeding at its fracture point; instead, a twisted and chaotic spatial turbulence was writhing within it.

"My king... grant me a little more... power..."

Its one remaining eye burned with a fierce, malevolent fire of vengeance.

"I will definitely... drag them to hell..."

"..."

About ten seconds later.

"Ultraman Tiga? Duan Zilian... Okay, I understand..."

Gradually, a chilling sound of flesh and blood reassembling came from deep within the tunnel.

Chapter 118 The Great Imperial Heart’s Proverbs

"What...is this? Why is there no auspicious or inauspicious sign?"

In front of the main hall of Meiji Shrine, Duan Zilian held a pale yellow slip of paper and looked at the girl next to her with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Duan, the fortune slips from Meiji Shrine are different from those from other shrines."

Kaguya Shinomiya gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, tilted her head back, and patiently explained.

"The fortune slips here are called 'Omishin'. They do not divine good or bad fortune, nor do they predict future fortune or misfortune. They are printed with waka poems written by Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken during their lifetimes."

“The shrine believes that what people really need is not for the gods to give a direct judgment of good or bad, but for words of wisdom that can guide their hearts when they are confused.”

"Oh, I see... No wonder you said you would never draw an unlucky lot. It turns out that the system doesn't even have this program installed."

Duan Zilian suddenly felt like she had been fooled by sophisticated rhetoric.

Kaguya, standing to the side, revealed a sly smile, as if she had a plan in mind.

"At least you can put your mind at ease now that you've drawn an 'unlucky' fortune slip."

"Haha, you're right."

Duan Zilian looked at the note in her hand filled with waka poems, and the sorrow in her heart did indeed dissipate a lot.

"So, what's written on it?"

Kaguya leaned closer, curiously craning her neck.

"Let me see..."

Duan Zilian squinted at the ancient-style words on it.

【いそがずにゆっくり歩め久ぐよりゆっくり歩く方が Morningし】

"What does this mean? Why can't I understand the Japanese text on it?"

"This is ancient Japanese text from a long time ago. Not only you, but many Japanese people today can't understand it either."

Kaguya spoke from the side, explaining the meaning of the passage above to him:

The gist of the above is: [Don't be impatient, take your time. A slow and steady approach will get you there faster than a rushed one.]

"Don't let too much responsibility and external noise crush your true self. Sometimes, letting things take their natural course may yield better results than forcibly bearing them."
