Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 375 Second Stage
When the pitch-black tentacles from the South Pacific fell again, silvery-white solar fire flew out from billions of miles away, condensing into a giant spear that pinned the tentacles to the void.

Tentacles tens of thousands of kilometers long crossed the Pacific Ocean. Where these dozens of tentacles passed, everything became silent, and the already dark world became even quieter.

Tens of thousands of giant light guns also spread from the TPC base in Japan all the way to Ruruya Island, like tens of thousands of colossal lighthouses hundreds of kilometers high.

Each spear of light is anchored to the space and nature it illuminates, deeply integrated with nature; only the power to destroy space can shake this blockade.

This makes it difficult for Gatanothor to break free in a short period of time.

The spear of light dispelled the darkness, annihilating its power in the void.

Gatanothor's tentacles can absorb the energy inside anything they touch. A lot of the energy in the reliquary pagoda was absorbed by it, which is one of the reasons why the reliquary pagoda's 'durability' decreased so quickly.

Besides the spears pinned to the tentacles, even more spears of light fell from the void, raining down on Gatanothor.

But as the spears pierced Gatanothor's 'conch shell,' they gradually dimmed, as if they had become Gatanothor's food.

Above the sun, Xu Feng formed a Buddhist mudra with one hand, using his mind to do two things at once, and once again used the Tathagata Palm.

The moves are old-fashioned, but they're very effective at the moment.

Gatanothor's tentacles are under control; it must either sever its tail to survive or take the hit head-on.

Although the "Buddha's Palm" that landed on Gatanothor didn't have any obvious effect, it made the monster disappear for a while. During that time, its physical influence on the real world weakened. As long as it remains in this state, it will be much easier for Shoko to save humanity.

The golden giant hand once again grasped the monster, which was over 600 meters tall, in its palm.

The attack, transmitted through the ancient blood, lands directly at the point of formation, leaving no room for evasion; one can only take it head-on.

But this time Gatanothor responded in a different way and did not transform into an information state again.

It emitted a dense black mist from its entire body, and the electromagnetic energy within the mist twisted continuously. In the blink of an eye, a small spacetime bubble formed around Gatanothor, allowing it to evade the first round of direct attacks as if it were in another world.

"This ability... is somewhat similar to the ability of the Golden Dragon Goldras."

Xu Feng seemed to be deep in thought.

In its previous attack, Gatanothor displayed some of the abilities of ancient monsters like Gijera, and now it has also displayed the abilities of the Golden Dragon Goldras. The TV series has not shown all of Gatanothor's abilities. Theoretically, all of Gatanothor's abilities may be its own original abilities, or they may originate from... the monsters that became its familiars.

"If Gatanothor can steal the abilities of his subordinate monsters, that would be a bit troublesome."

There are many monsters in the world of Ultraman Tiga. Many of them are not very strong, but they have strange and unusual moves that make them very difficult to deal with.

Xu Feng continued to exert force, his golden Buddha palm piercing through the spacetime bubble, attempting to continue attacking Gatanothor within the miniature spacetime realm.

However, the space within the spacetime bubble is extremely chaotic.

Even ancient bloodlines, which allow for flexible travel between different worlds, are not suited to this space, much like an ordinary person entering a blender, finding it difficult to stabilize.

The structure of the Buddha's palm began to collapse the moment it entered the spacetime bubble. The solidified energy inside became disordered and scattered into a huge energy ball that covered the entire spacetime bubble. This energy ball was slowly absorbed by Gatanothor, making the spacetime bubble even larger and more solid.

"interesting……"

Xu Feng examined the spacetime bubble surrounding Gatanothor: "Is the foundation of the spacetime bubble... the Fallen Dream? A world composed of the negative emotions of billions of humans and Gatanothor's origin, its solidity is extraordinary!"

The power of a single ordinary person is not strong. If we calculate it by addition, the combined power of billions of ordinary people is only a finite number that is not very large.

Compared to the vast Earth, that force is nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

However, when the minds and thoughts of ordinary people fall into the hands of powerful individuals who can wield these powers, the effects of those powers become immense.

It is large enough to easily destroy a planet.

In Gatanothor's hands, the negative emotions within the hearts of tiny humans condense into miniature spacetime bubbles, whose internal space is so vast that it can contain the Earth, and whose solidity far exceeds that of normal spacetime.

This is very unscientific, but it fits the rules of an 'idealistic' world.

"Is this part of Gatanothor's ability in his Darkest State?"

Xu Feng calculated the force required to break through this spacetime bubble head-on.

The Buddha's palm is easily destroyed when it enters the spacetime bubble, becoming food for Gatanothor. However, if attacked directly from the outside of the spacetime bubble, this absorption ability is naturally difficult to achieve.

In theory, an attack of sufficient strength can destroy this spacetime bubble.

"Based on the intensity of the Tathagata Palm attack just now, it would probably take about seventeen minutes of continuous attacks?"

“It’s unrealistic. Gatanothor won’t let me attack like this for so long. If I make any mistake in these seventeen minutes, Shoko will be doomed.”

For the same reason, the gap in strength within the Donghai team is too large.

The aftermath of Xu Feng's match against Gatanjeor was an unbearable burden for the rest of the Donghai team.

"This kind of spacetime ability... the simplest way is actually based on that move developed from the Light of the Mind." Xu Feng's killing intent gradually intensified: "But if we really use that move, it would be a bit of a waste."

Spacetime collapsed, and everything vanished.

After Xu Feng actually used this move, he realized that his spiritual light was extremely dangerous, as this move could damage the very essence of the world.

The current level of capability is only sufficient to target spacetime stability disruptions.

Xu Feng suspected that if that spiritual light were developed to its extreme, even the multiverse would collapse rapidly, like a punctured balloon.

However, it is difficult to obtain loot after using this move in battle.

Everything will vanish into nothingness in the collapse of spacetime.

"Gatarim's current strength is not enough to make me use this move..."

Xu Feng focused his attention on the dream world: "Whether it's the real world or the dream world created by Qi Jiela, I can easily suppress Gatanothor. Right now, it's only able to protect itself by using the spacetime bubble. It would be a waste to use its ultimate move under such an advantage."

"Let it linger on for a while, and then deal with it slowly once Xiangzi has seized the dark power!"

Dream world.

Xiangzi carefully connected with the target's mental world.

After experiencing a backlash, she became much more cautious.

She meticulously analyzed each person's dream, unearthed each person's past glories, and explored the deepest desires within their hearts.

"Alas, even the most rational humans have been turned into monsters under the influence of Gatanothor's dark power... Awakening humanity has become much more difficult!"

"Adults are all numbed by reality; only children are relatively easy to awaken." Xiangzi chuckled softly, "That's fine... In this idealistic world, the power of children is the strongest!"

Her spiritual power swept across a dream.

And through the connections those children made in the real world, they connected with one human being after another... Under the influence of awakened humans, those who were immersed in the dream world were more likely to awaken.

Before long, the eyes of millions of people became clear.

These awakened humans were worried for a time after realizing the world had become pitch black, but after witnessing tens of thousands of lighthouses across the Pacific Ocean, they suddenly understood that the light was still fighting for them.

So these people felt hope rising in their hearts and began to pray silently.

Few people awaken from their dreams, but Gatanothor was greatly shocked... This wasn't just a cooked duck flying away; it was the duck meat that had been eaten and was only left to be swallowed flying away!

For the first time, it had emotions.

Humanity throughout the world felt that anger, whether they were humans in the dream or humans who had awakened, including the reincarnators hiding in the landing point base. Deep down, they were all inexplicably angry because of this anger.

Sato Yoichi and the others even considered that since their teammate had already angered the great God of Darkness, such blasphemous behavior might as well just commit suicide.

Fortunately, most of the members of the East China Sea team had more respect for their captain, and as soon as they had such thoughts, they immediately realized that they were being psychologically attacked.

What does it mean to blaspheme Gatanjah?

Gatanothor dared to fight back against the captain – that's blasphemy!

Gatanothor, which had been staying in R'lyeh, flew into the sky under the constant falling golden giant palms, merging with the black curtain that covered the entire world. During the merging process, its body continued to grow larger.

In just a short time, it increased from six or seven hundred meters high to tens of thousands of meters high.

Furthermore, thousands of tentacles extended from the side of this colossal creature, which was tens of thousands of meters tall, stretching towards the sky. These tentacles tumbled in the dark sky, like thousands of enormous dragons wandering in the sea of ​​clouds.

Simultaneously.

The black mist concentrated towards the tentacles that shrouded the area.

"Are you serious?"

"No... this guy seems to be planning to quickly harvest humanity from Earth and then leave this planet?"

Xu Feng realized Gatanothor's purpose. The monster seemed to have sensed the danger posed by the Reincarnators and no longer intended to entangle with them.

Just as he was thinking.

The tentacles in the black mist branched out like main branches, creating more smaller tentacles. After splitting layer by layer, countless fine, spider-web-like strands of black mist coiled towards every human being on Earth.

In the dream world, Xu Feng's palm force suppressed it, preventing it from absorbing the corrupting energy.

Therefore, it simply chose to carry out physical attacks in the real world.

"You dare to do this when fighting someone stronger than you..."

Xu Feng squinted at the black curtain that shrouded the earth: "It seems I haven't put enough pressure on you!"

"Since that's the case... then let's demonstrate a little more of our abilities!"

"Reality Materialization Illusion Technique... Fourteenth Level, Pure Land Rebirth!"

After mastering the fourteenth contemplation of the Sixteen Contemplations of Pure Land, one is reborn into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, where everything is under one's control. The subsequent fifteenth and sixteenth contemplations are all based on this foundation.

"While the Twelve Observations realm allows one to control the energy of the entire sun, it is ultimately somewhat inflexible and restricts one's movements in battle. The Fourteen Observations realm, however, is much easier!"

Xu Feng stood on the enormous lotus platform with its intricate patterns, his expression neither sad nor happy.

"After all, this energy is only what the sun continuously outputs. Although I've accumulated it for a while, overall it's not a lot..."

"In this state, to fully unleash all combat power, we would need to extract more energy from the sun's interior. However, this would affect the sun's overall lifespan. It would be better to extract energy from space."

Xu Feng stopped forming hand seals and simply swung out a palm strike.

The enormous phantom of the Buddha statue, shrouded in the sun, moved accordingly.

The colossal Buddha's palm held the entire 'tiny' Earth in its palm. Then, under a somewhat bizarre manipulation of space, the Buddha's palm emerged from the Earth's interior. It did not harm a single blade of grass or tree on Earth, but after making contact with Gatanothor's tentacles, it unleashed incredibly intense energy.

The darkness retreated steadily under the immense force of the Buddha's palm.

Gatanothor relentlessly gathers darkness from the universe and draws energy from fallen humanity... but to no avail.

Just like Hakimi being crushed by the Great Spacetime Bubble, the incredibly hard spacetime bubble was instantly burst by energy, exploding into a pile of fragments with a pop, and Gatanothor was crushed into a pile of information as the spacetime bubble shattered.

This mass of information had just been reborn from the darkness of nothingness when the golden Buddha's palm, originating from within the Earth, exerted its power once more and shattered it.

From an ordinary person's perspective, the Earth is like a star, constantly emitting light.

And that's pretty much the case... The energy that the sun is radiating has now been unleashed on Earth in the form of the "Buddha's Palm" technique.

But this light is not scorching, and ordinary people will not be harmed by the high temperature.

Temperatures across the Earth did not rise as a result.

After going through the cycle of being crushed, transformed into information, and reborn more than a dozen times, Gatanothor finally realized... it was probably no match for this outsider.

There will be at least some danger.

From the perspective of this powerful being who has survived for countless years, it would be too much of a loss to fight such an unpredictable powerhouse for food on a single planet. In any case, there are many civilizations and races in this universe, and the advantages of Earthlings are their large numbers, weak strength, and high potential.

Therefore, when it was reborn again, it chose to be outside the atmosphere.

The moment it was resurrected, it immediately flew away into the distance.

Earth is too dangerous...

"Are you planning to run away?"

Xu Feng stared expressionlessly at Gatanothor, whose size had increased considerably since its earlier gluttony. Gatanothor had already gained a considerable advantage from its feast, and its true form was over 800 meters tall, and it would grow even larger in special combat states.

"Leaving Earth will only reduce my worries..."
