Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

Fang Te clapped his hands: "But it doesn't conflict with my plan to blow up the planet. Anyway, I've collected a lot of materials these days, so it's fine if this planet is blown up. Of course, it would be even better if I could capture that four-winged monster along with it."

Estend felt his heart grow colder, but he still wanted to fight for it: "We can use the monster army to hold out until Fos-001 can't hold on any longer, right? We just need to recover it. Keeping this planet around will allow us to harvest more fear energy. Besides, there might be useful biological materials on this planet..."

“Ah, that was just my personal motive,” Fang Te readily admitted his little scheme: “I wanted to take this opportunity to test our planet-destroying weapons and see if the deployment time and effects were as expected. We didn’t bring these weapons with us, but since the monster legion has been mobilized, I had the transportation department temporarily transport our ‘Sindesmus’ along with them.”

Before conceiving Fos-001, Sindzmos had been working on developing an anti-satellite weapon.

Estend opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Fang Te continued explaining his plan: "Have the recovery department collect some body parts; there might be some interesting materials... Of course, we should prioritize recovering Fos-001. Based on our testing of its defensive capabilities, it's certain that there won't be a single ash left near the epicenter of the planet's destruction. So, the containment force must move it to a more distant location."

"I must have boarded that warmonger's spaceship," Eistend thought.

He looked at the pitch-black planet in the image, with only a few scattered points of light remaining, and could not make out what it used to look like.

Call him useless or a coward, he would never participate in such an expedition again. Upon returning, he would apply to terminate his internship at the research institute and refuse to participate in weapons development any further.

He should apply to become a planetary surveyor, just like his parents, to observe and record the vibrant flora and fauna of those alien planets.

He couldn't sleep peacefully with all that fire and ruins around him.

……

……

Fos-001 hasn't had a break in a long time.

With the help of the planetary light, his vigilance zone can cover the entire planet, allowing him to reach any Yapool monsters or spaceships that appear.

The four-winged bird monster assists in deploying a protective shield to protect the city, allowing Fos-001 to act without hesitation—under ideal conditions.

More often than not, the four-winged bird monster is too busy to take care of so many places, and Fos-001 has to separate from it to prioritize dealing with other monster-related threats.

From the day the Yapool's monster army unleashed a black mist that plunged the planet into darkness, he has been fighting and on his way to the next battle.

The light of the planet replenished his depleted energy and healed his damaged body, but it was difficult to restore his overly exhausted spirit.

Furthermore, he needs to manage his energy consumption appropriately, avoiding excessive use that could lead to insufficient replenishment. His battles with monsters are always multi-against-one; the slightest opening can result in a surprise attack from an unknown source.

"It's going to fail."

It was said in a gentle voice.

Her name is Pasifica, the name of the planet. In her own words, "It's the name the children gave me, and I love it."

"The children are just learning to build beautiful and sturdy little houses. Before, they only used mud houses, which were not sturdy at all."

Fos-001 forced back the serpentine monster's fangs, took a slight breath, and said, "Don't interfere with me during the battle."

The voice continued softly, "I'm so sorry, I thought my children were already so amazing. I never imagined there were such amazing civilizations. I really envy them. If only my children had more time."

“I can provide you with enough light, although it will dissipate quickly after leaving my atmosphere, but it’s better than nothing. Go back to your home planet as soon as possible. This is just a pointless tug-of-war. I’ve never been so weak… So many children have died. We may, we may have to say goodbye.”

A stream of scorching light grazed a spaceship that it couldn't dodge in time, instantly vaporizing half of it.

Fos-001 lowered his arm and immediately dodged away from the spot, avoiding the beam of light fired by the bee monster.

"I told you, don't interfere with me during the fight."

Moreover, my own light has not yet been restored. Without your light to support me, I can't run far at all. What a pessimistic guy.

The silver giant continued his silent battle with the enemy under the dark sky.

In my mind, that gentle voice sighed.

"I don't even know your name yet. You can't just keep calling yourself Fos-001, can you?"

Fos-001 turned and used the crystal beam from his forehead to pierce the beetle monster's wing. Under the cover of the beam, he took the opportunity to rush forward and cut off the monster's troublesome tentacles.

"I forgot."

Fos-001 uttered three words, then kicked the armor on the beetle monster's abdomen, shattering it. He was struck from behind by a beam of light that erupted in a massive burst of sparks, but he ignored it. Even if it meant trading injury for injury, he wanted to quickly destroy these monsters and move on to the next attacked city.

The red light timely applied to the injured area, beginning to suppress and repair the damage.

Pasifica asked, "So what's your home planet called?"

Fos-001 paused for a moment, then replied, "It should be... called Suffer."

"You don't know her name?"

"She only knows how to repeat one sentence."

And I'm not even sure if she's my home planet.

Fos-001 looked out at the swirling, twisting clouds, where the Yapool's creations had reappeared.

"Who is Suffer?"

"The self-designation of a race that was born there."

Now it was Pasifica's turn to fall silent.

Perhaps she was thinking of her children? It took Pasifica a while to reply: "Here, well, the most intelligent race, they're called 'Virts'."

"Hmm." Fos-001 responded, then turned and slashed off the claw of a monster that had approached from behind.

The cold, food and water shortages, and injuries left very few of the surviving Vit people alive.

Pasifica certainly heard the Vit people's story, but there was nothing more she could do. She could only supply her energy to the guardians, the four-winged bird and Fos-001, and help them strengthen the city's protective shield.

Unable to communicate directly with the Werthers, she could only listen to their requests and tell the Four-Winged Bird and Fos-001 where they encountered danger and needed help, hoping to do her part in any way she could.

If only they had been born sooner, she thought. With enough time to evolve and develop, she and her children would have been strong enough to protect themselves. Even if Fos-001 were given energy, it wouldn't be so weak that its energy would dissipate quickly once it left its atmosphere.

How could things have turned out like they are now, trapped here by the Yapool's monster army and spaceship force?

The black mist enveloped the entire planet, causing the deaths of many children and weakening the planet's light.

Then send out monsters in batches to wear down their strength.

Finally, what are they going to do?

Pasifica sensed the impending danger, this crisis

Feelings led her to urge the four-winged bird and Fos-001 to leave.

The four-winged bird wasn't very bright. After listening to Pasifica, it only hissed twice, shattered a spaceship with its steel feathers, and then lowered its head and spat out a new protective shield to cover the city.

Fos-001 told her to stop bothering her.

……

……

"Will it get light?" The little girl in pink fled to the nearest cave where she could hide. She was too weak to walk any further and could only lie on the cold, damp ground, watching the shadowy figures of people reflected on the cave ceiling in the dim firelight.

"By the time you wake up, it will be dawn," the stranger beside me replied.

"You're lying." The little girl tilted her head, but still closed her eyes.

Chapter Fourteen: The Golden Melt

The relentless battles had dulled Fos-001's mind.

He had considered using most of his energy to fire beams to clear the area. Previously, he had used the Parariti Beam to sweep across a black mist area, and judging from the resulting explosions, he should have eliminated several enemies. However, the number of monsters sent down by the Yapools did not decrease.

With the planet's light waning and its perception obscured and disrupted by the black mist, he had no idea how many monsters and spaceships were lurking behind it. Using the high-energy-consuming beam of light would only be a waste of energy.

“This can’t go on, Pasifica. I might have to resort to my last resort.”

Fos-001 took the initiative to seek out Pasifica for the first time.

"Last resort?"

"After using it, I had absolutely no energy left."

"Can't I even supplement it with my light?"

"I might lose consciousness for a period of time, so this can only be a last resort."

Pasifica remained silent.

Fos-001 continued, "Provide me with as much energy as possible when the time comes, and eliminate as many as you can."

"Ah...maybe we can scare them into leaving then." Pasifica tried to sound relaxed.

Fos-001 responded and headed to the next area where a monster appeared.

……

……

Fangte's command ship is in a sufficiently safe star system, and the calculations show that it is sufficiently safe.

Their spaceship connected to the bridge of the command ship from the 4th Research Institute, allowing the affiliated forces of both institutes to receive unified command.

The people at the 4th Research Institute were pragmatic, unlike the show-offs at the 2nd Research Institute. Fang appreciated their decisive and action-oriented approach, which made their deployment of the Sindzmos very smooth.

The Sindzmos is a weapon network consisting of many interconnected launchers. Because it is the first deployment, many areas are still accumulating experience, which will take longer.

Once deployed, at Fang Te's command, the tandem launchers will simultaneously fire highly concentrated antimatter particles from all directions, capable of penetrating deep into the earth's layers and reaching the planet's interior. The resulting chain reaction will cause the planet to disintegrate.

The burst of energy might turn Sindzmoth into cosmic debris, but the blueprints are still there, so we can rebuild it next time.

Fang Te wasn't worried about the cleanup work afterwards. He let the recycling department worry about it; he just needed to instruct them to quickly bring back what he wanted.

Omarment was spinning like a top, and heaven knows how what he thought was a "small exercise to show off military power in a rural civilization" turned into a battle that required preparation for the destruction of a planet.
