Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 378 Mission Completed
Gatanothor transforms dark energy into the dream energy of Zigella, making himself even more outstanding, from body to soul, he is the embodiment of beauty.

The illusion of Gatanothor, which is drawing in dark energy, makes it seem like an angel fallen into hell, making one want to protect it.

Gatanjah did not feel any shame in this way of begging for mercy.

In a world where the strong prey on the weak, when you are the prey, the wise thing to do is to survive by any means necessary.

"This image...makes me look like a villain."

Xu Feng sneered, "But after thinking about the true nature beneath that appearance, it only strengthened my resolve to kill!"

This only amplified the power of Gatanothor in the fantasies.

Incorrect information easily leads to incorrect conclusions. Gatanothor's human form is beautiful, but not his type. Moreover, even if the human form perfectly matched his aesthetic standards, he wouldn't let this boss go because of it.

This monster recently devoured millions of humans! It is an absolute cannibalistic monster.

Most importantly, killing it can earn you reward points and side quests.

When it discovered that the tentacles drawing out dark energy were becoming stronger, Gatanothor panicked. It realized that it had lost its chance to fight back and could only continue to plead pitifully, trying to evoke the compassion in the human in the distance.

But it was met with a dark purple light—a beam of light that pierced through.

This is one of Gatanothor's moves.

In the TV series, Gatanothor used this move to defeat Tiga in his normal state, stealing Tiga's light, turning Tiga into a stone statue, and trapping Daigo inside the statue.

At this moment, the Reincarnator used this move against itself.

This beam of light instantly drew most of the essence of the evil god Gatanothor from its body.

Gatanothor did not turn into a stone statue, but lay in the starry sky like a rag doll, his eyes devoid of light.

The girl's appearance and her pitiful state made the monster seem even more heartbreaking.

Unfortunately, apart from Xu Feng, who was fighting the monster, no one else in this starry sky witnessed this tragic scene.

Xu Feng, however, showed an exceptionally cold heart towards Gatanothor.

"A pointless attempt to elicit sympathy... may you completely perish!"

Immediately, a beam of light shot out from inside its body, completely incinerating the remains into ashes.

That heartbreaking monster has vanished without a trace.

Even the remaining information was swallowed up by the surrounding black mist and never escaped from this battlefield.

Xu Feng put away his fantasies about Gatanothor and returned to normalcy.

After a moment, he muttered to himself, "Just an A-rank side quest?"

Although he had anticipated that the main god would dynamically adjust the rewards based on the strength of the reincarnators, he was still somewhat disappointed that he only received an A-level side quest after defeating a powerful enemy like Gatanothor who was capable of destroying a planet.

Back in the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story", in order to create the relic, he killed a large number of demons and monsters in the surrounding world, but he didn't even get a single reward point.

At that time, he realized that after the East Sea team defeated the Heavenly God team, the difficulty of obtaining reward points had increased significantly.

"Sigh, the main god is getting stingier and stingier. In the future, we'll probably only be able to get a lot of reward points in team battles."

Hsu Feng was not disappointed for long.

Even if you can only get one A-rank side quest in a world, it won't take too long to collect all the upgrades you want. With the help of your teammates, the time required will be even shorter.

As for the final battle between the dozen or so reincarnation squads...

Xu Feng wasn't too worried; even if he couldn't win in the end, he could at least survive.

Actually, his greatest strength is his mobility.

This mobility allows him to travel freely between different worlds. It is precisely because of this more sophisticated spacetime travel ability than Gatanothor that Gatanothor has no chance to escape through space travel and can only travel in space in a 'slow' way, such as sub-light speed.

The two, a human and a monster, chased each other at near-light speed for nearly two hours, but they are still circling inside the solar system.

Xu Feng stepped out of this world, then locked onto Earth's coordinates from outside the world. When he reappeared inside this world, he was already beside Xiangzi.

This is his fastest way to move.

The entire operation only requires three steps. In theory, he can reach any point inside the world within two steps. Even if it is billions of light-years away, it will not take him too long. What limits his precise movement is his perception ability.

After losing Gatanothor's influence, it became much easier for Shoko to awaken the humans in the dream world.

She has no fear of dark energy and can unleash her full power.

Every moment, large numbers of humans are breaking free from Zijera's influence, and this transmission is accelerating.

Before long, Shoko will complete her mission of waking all of humanity from the dream, but she is somewhat frustrated.

"I still couldn't help you..."

She originally thought she could play a role in defeating the big boss Gatanothor, condensing the 'light' that could kill Gatanothor, and creating a suitable weapon for Xu Feng.

But the current results tell her that the so-called mental controller is no different from the other members of the East Sea Team; she is still someone who is carried by the captain.

Xu Feng didn't need Shining Tiga's 'light' to kill Gatanothor.

The power of 'idealism' is strong in this world, but when 'materialism' reaches a sufficiently high level and achieves numerical dominance, it can also accomplish 'things you can only imagine'.

She awakened all of humanity from the dream world, but only she benefited from it.

"Don't underestimate yourself. If Gatanothor were any stronger, I would probably need your help."

Xu Feng comforted him, "When everyone in this world fully awakens from the dream, we will complete the mission and return to the Main God Space... I obtained some things from Gatanothor, and after receiving those benefits, they should be able to help me in the next battle."

Xiangzi couldn't help but grind his teeth.

Is Gatanothor any stronger?
If that monster were any stronger, would the rest of the East Sea team still have a chance to survive?
"Be careful later. Gatanothor's dark power is dangerous. If you're not careful, you could fall into becoming a real monster."

Zhao Yingkong intercepted a portion of Gatanothor's core energy and is currently refining it within the flare, much like Sun Wukong in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, making that energy completely a part of herself.

But the most suitable core energy for Gatanothor is still Shoko's external avatar.

The 'light' she received from all humanity in this world can reduce the influence of dark forces, allowing her to transform those energies into something she can control without deep refinement.

The opposing yet unified forces of light and darkness will elevate that body to a considerable level, enough for it to intervene in Xu Feng's battles in the future.

By fusing with Gatanothor's dark energy just before completing the mission, Xu Feng could utilize the God's mechanisms to eliminate any potential hidden dangers within Gatanothor's core energy, thus removing negative effects for free. In fact, Xu Feng believed he had completely eradicated the harmful effects of that dark energy; otherwise, the God wouldn't have determined that he had killed Gatanothor.

But this behavior makes Xiangzi feel more at ease.

Several more hours passed.

One after another, figures appeared in Xiangzi's pure land, conveying their gratitude to Xiangzi and leaving behind a wisp of illusory light.

Those illusory lights gradually converged, eventually solidifying into a giant lotus platform in the pure land of the heart.

On the lotus platform, Xiangzi radiated light like a Bodhisattva.

The twin angels emanated a dazzling golden light, like Ultraman Tiga in his shining state.

Just then, a jet-black mist suddenly appeared in Xu Feng's hand—the core energy that Fantasy Gatanothor had extracted from Gatanothor's body.

The Swallow Fruit Domain is activated.

This mysterious energy merged into Xiangzi's soul on a spiritual level. In the Pure Land, this energy filled Xiangzi's Dharma image on the lotus platform. The light in the lotus platform and the darkness in the Dharma image constantly eroded each other, annihilating one another while gradually coexisting under the harmonization of the primal force.

On a physical level, the dark energy fully unlocks the information within the genes of the Dragonborn, Mostima, and Rubigand.

The holy twin goddesses incarnate twisted and turned, only to return to their original form again in the light.

During this profound transformation, Xiangzi fell into the deepest slumber.

"Next, we will enter the Ruins of R'lyeh. Although this ruin has been completely destroyed in the aftermath of the battle, we only need to enter the original space of that island and stay for twenty-four hours to complete the mission."

Xu Feng waved his hand, moving the sleeping Xiangzi and all the reincarnators in this base to the South Pacific.

Then, he found Mei outside.

After digesting some of the energy in the space-time realm, the shrine maiden changed her method of digestion. She is now cleaning up the common monsters in this world, such as various mountain spirits and wild monsters like Sukuna Oni, and vampires.

Ryomen Sukuna-ki possesses the ability to control fire and storms, and its regenerative abilities are also very strong.

During the battle, Mei also discovered that this monster could possess humans and regenerate within its host.

After testing the waters for a moment, the little witch shot and killed the monster that had been revived by evil energy with an arrow.

This monster is of average strength.

She wasn't even worthy of being asked to pull out the village rain.

She is even less worthy of being allowed to unleash that strike that embodies the power of the world.

The high-level enchanted arrow, crafted by the Tree Demon Granny, gained two more abilities after absorbing the power of Sukuna-ki through its root system.

First, it converts energy into high-temperature flames that explode inside the target's body; second, it can split into five arrows to attack different targets.

As for vampires.

There are many vampires in the world of Ultraman Tiga, even more than mentioned in the TV series.

Moreover, these vampires are not weak. The strongest vampire, Shuranos, is even revered as the god of vampires... These monsters, which can get Tiga to take action, would be enough to be the final boss in other reincarnation worlds.

Mei could easily kill these monsters, and Xu Feng didn't even care about them, mainly because the East Sea team was strong enough.

Unfortunately, the so-called vampire god Shuranos was affected by Gatanothor's dark energy and was locked by a Buddha's palm shot from inside the Earth during Xu Feng's battle with Gatanothor, becoming one of the cannon fodder.

Killing the remaining vampires yields very few reward points.

Mei is hunting down these 'mosquito legs'.

"Don't be too fixated on those one or two reward points..."

Xu Feng first identified the remaining vampires, then extracted all the essence from their bodies, and finally rescued Mei and brought her to Luluye.

"The vampire bloodline in this world is much stronger than the vampires I've seen before. I've enhanced the vampire bloodline of some members of the team, which will make them even stronger."

Mei nodded obediently.

She glanced around at the people around her and asked, "If I remember correctly, only two people from our team died in this cycle of reincarnation. We're still missing three... They seem to be in space?"

The mobility of the other members of the Donghai team cannot compare to that of Xu Feng.

The two female senior researchers escaped the solar system, while Zhao Yingkong is still suffering near the sun.

Without Xu Feng's help, the three of them would never have been able to return to Earth and would have had a very difficult time completing their mission.

The little witch knew that Xu Feng wouldn't forget the three of them, especially the girl with the somewhat outrageous figure, but this casual reminder was inexpensive and gave her the opportunity to interact with the newcomers after returning to the Main God Space.

"Let's wait a little longer. I will calculate the exact time of our return. At the moment I am about to return to the Main God Space, I will bring the rest of them back."

Xu Feng replied.

The longer Zhao Yingkong stays in the 'Flare Furnace', the more she will improve. Of course, for the sake of her future potential, she cannot stay too long.

Staying for another twenty hours or so would be ideal.

As for the other two near-senior level individuals, they were there to 'fish'.

Escaping from Earth would increase their chances of encountering monsters, for example, running into the planet-sized homeworld of Sphia.

Coincidentally, within the same universe, the final boss of "Ultraman Dyna," the home planet of Specia, will become his reward points, just like Gatanothor.

The mechs worn by those two teammates are quite powerful, and they are likely to become good parasitic carriers in the eyes of the Sphia homeworld. The two reincarnators 'accidentally' turned into Sphia synthetic beasts, which would reduce the number of members in the East China Sea team and lower their evaluation, while providing reward points for the veterans.

Xu Feng casually made this calculation.

If they succeed, it's just bad luck for those two near-senior level individuals; if they don't succeed, it doesn't really matter.

Regrettably.

Even after Xu Feng had been in R'lyeh for more than 23 hours, the environment around the two quasi-senior beings remained very quiet. Neither the home planet of Sphia nor any of the various aliens appeared.

"Did eighteen people survive this time?"

As he was about to return to the Main God Space, Xu Feng casually pulled back the remaining three teammates from the East China Sea team and left information in their minds.

"The East China Sea team has too many players; it's about time to let the teammates reincarnate..."
