Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

After the white-haired man finished speaking, Lucifer remained silent for a long time. He looked the man up and down, and then suddenly asked softly, "Which generation descendant is he?"

The white-haired man looked up: "The fourteenth generation."

The aged man straightened up, and Kinoshita Kei realized that the oldest one was actually a descendant of someone who looked extremely young! And someone whose grandfather should be addressed with countless prefixes!

Lucifer chuckled: "When a short-lived race suddenly gains 'immortality,' some interesting ideas always emerge."

The white-haired man immediately lowered his head: "I wouldn't dare."

“What’s wrong with ambition? You can live longer. Hmm… In consideration of your timely dispatch of the capture machine, I can tell you something,” Lucifer stepped forward and sat down at the head of the table with ease: “Although the humans on this planet are still in the ‘primitive era’ and don’t even have the technology to leave the inner planet’s orbit, they are not useless.”

Lucifer's smile was clean and clear. If Hiiragi Hiroyuki were in person, he would definitely recognize him—this young man in a plaid shirt and casual pants was none other than the so-called "future person who escaped capture" who delivered the wishing ball!

It turns out that he had taken advantage of Kinoshita Kei's sleep to use his body to enter and exit the base. However, due to the change in appearance, Hiiragi Hiroyuki was cautious and blocked the news about the "time traveler", so Lizard had not reacted!

“A fragment of the Wishing Ball,” Lucifer said. “Uranus brought his shattered Wishing Ball here, hoping it would serve as the ‘ultimate power’ to protect this planet, but he didn’t know how to repair it. You got it for free.”

"But we also..."

“I will repair it.” Lucifer did not tell the “time traveler” that he had repaired the wishing ball. Perhaps this was what he expected—that the humans of this Earth would throw themselves into the embrace of the wishing ball under immense pressure, while the “time traveler” would be caught in a stubborn resistance.

Just as Kinoshita Kei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, he heard Lucifer gently comfort him: "Don't worry, although I can't stand Gaia and Agul, I have at least inherited the power of Uranus. The Earthlings you care about will win."

"What...are you saying?" Kinoshita Kei asked in his mind.

Lucifer slowly said, "They will go through a bloody battle and win a Pyrrhic victory with the support of the Wishing Ball. Earth's environment will deteriorate due to the sudden depletion of resources, but every cloud has a silver lining. Humanity will enter the 'Interstellar Age,' and the Wishing Ball will be the most reliable support."

"No need to worry about population and productivity, just keep conquering... How many civilizations have dreamed of this! It's about to be realized, Mu Xiajing, you should be happy."

“You have many interesting memories, but they are all ‘watching stories.’ Now you can experience a great era firsthand. You should feel honored! I’m sparing your life as payment for the ‘script,’ and then… we can go to other interesting universes.”

Kinoshita Kei's mind went blank.

Lucifer said softly, "I'm very interested in your hometown. By the way, would you like to go home?"

Chapter 181 The Destruction of the Star

Come back home?

Kinoshita Kei was momentarily dazed, then realized that Lucifer was probably curious about the "script" becoming "reality".

When life doesn't go as planned, Kinoshita Kei always buries himself in his own little world, reading comics, playing games, and so on, naturally "watching countless shows."

“Samuel, the variables outside the script, and me, are not in your memory either. In other words, the ‘script’ is just a possibility. Since you can connect with your counterpart in this universe, the two universes can be connected—it’s like a distribution center, linking countless universes of ‘scripts’.”

Lucifer was deeply pleased to have discovered Kinoshita Kei. Perhaps it wasn't such a bad thing that his body was torn apart because of the copying of the wishing ball. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to leave his base to find a body to rely on in the outside world, nor would he have developed his own followers, such as the "vanguard" Kinoshita Kei, codenamed SuT-00.

He pulled his thoughts back to the present. He shifted his gaze from the white-haired man and began to examine Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya. Just as Kinoshita Kei had observed, the two were simply unconscious and were waking up as the capture machine landed and was moved.

"Gaia," Lucifer called softly, like a gentle wake-up call. When Takayama Gomu opened his eyes, he was a little groggy, but the moment he saw the furnishings inside the cabin and the starry sky outside, he immediately became alert, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Two universes, billions of stars, why did only the planetary consciousness of 'Earth' give birth to the Giant of Light?" Lucifer leaned forward slightly, staring at Takayama Gamu, or more precisely, at the Blue Sapphire Cone that had been taken from him, revealing an expression of extreme curiosity, bordering on obsession: "Look, such power is truly... the epitome of 'miracle'!"

His gaze was too intense; Takayama Gamu felt that he resembled Asano Mirai who had encountered an ancient creature, or Catherine who had found a new idea.

"What exactly do you want?" Kinoshita Kei shouted in his mind, pinned in the corner. He knew Lucifer could hear him. "To incite war? To use the power of a planet? Or do you just think it's fun?"

“I told your ‘fellow countryman,’ it was all about defeating the original body, about truly being able to travel freely through different universes.” Lucifer beckoned, and the Sapphire Cone, gripped by a mechanical arm, was led to him. This transformed body…

Although the outer shell of the weapon was blue, a crimson light could be seen moving inside. Lucifer reached out and grasped it, as if he had grasped the key to open a door.

“Planetary consciousness is a precious product, as is the aggregate of ‘resentment’ that I have painstakingly cultivated. Although they are both a blend of energy and will, they cannot be used simply like addition. To truly and completely absorb them, a medium is needed.”

Lucifer obtained the Sapphire Bracelet using the same method. Gaia and Agul's transformation devices were placed side by side. He reached out his hand, and red and blue light trembled within it.

The white-haired man was somewhat agitated. Lucifer noticed his lapse in composure and said, "Don't be too happy yet; they have their own will."

"Sizzle—" As soon as he finished speaking, a tiny arc of electricity flashed, and a patch of skin on his palm was scorched black. The transformation device was rejecting him.

“This is the light of the planet,” he said to his white-haired and aged subordinates. “You have seen the limits of material civilization. You should broaden your horizons. Humans in the ‘Earth Age’ attempted to study Uranus. Now is the time to continue the research. Once the original inhabitants of that Earth beneath you are wiped out, an entire planet that has given birth to a will will become your testing ground.”

Kinoshita Kei knew he was lying again; he had clearly told him earlier that the "future people" would be defeated and destroyed.

“The consciousness of two planets, the light of three planets, and the aggregate of ‘resentment’ that spans the galaxy,” Lucifer heard Kinoshita Kei’s inner monologue and repeated his earlier words in a low voice: “To truly and completely absorb them, a medium is needed.”

“Mediation, assimilation…” Kinoshita Kei suddenly struggled to get up, trying to escape from this prison deep within his consciousness. He stretched out his arms and legs, paddling like a dog in a swimming pool: “Fellow countryman, fellow countryman! Why the hell did you tell me all that!”

His struggles were futile, but he didn't stop there. His mind was filled with the sunset and the courtyard from many days ago, where Aiba Yu sat on the veranda, slowly telling him some key points about combat.

He was worried about the impact of the "resentment" group on his fellow villagers. He was writing down the key points while still struggling with his own thoughts. Lucifer pretended to be concerned and said, "You are helping him."

Help me my foot! I'd be more likely to help you, you old Voldemort!

He dug desperately, determined to get out no matter how ugly it looked, even if it could only stop the commotion for a moment!

"Who asked you to give me your life! Assimilation is such an awesome trait, at worst I can hide for a hundred or two hundred years and come out as a hero again. You're telling me how to defeat you! Now this movie star has heard it all, I'm truly... a sinner for all time! A disgrace to transmigrators! The most, most, most trashy human host!"

His reaction seemed to please Lucifer, who heard the man sitting in the command chair laugh and say what Aiba Yu had told him: "The Meta Field will affect your ability to call for wind support, but it is connected to the Ultra Warrior's body."

"Stop imitating his tone!" Kinoshita Kei realized that Lucifer really knew how to be disgusting. He no longer envied his "cousin's" face. If that face were in front of him, he would definitely punch the other person's nose and break it!

“Alright, alright,” Lucifer was particularly easygoing when he was in a good mood. “I just hope you remember him as carefully as you remember this sentence… because the last time you see someone is always a regret, and if you miss it, you can’t make up for it. It’s such a pity.”

……

Samuel grabbed a Caesar de Bessie by the flank and used it as a shield to smash it at the approaching enemy.

At the same time, a beam of light from another monster brushed past the back of his head. He turned his head along the beam and saw it disappear into the aurora-distorted spatial barrier, like a stone thrown into a pond. The barrier shook for a moment, and the scene behind it became clearer.

That's another Earth.

This passage was originally built to connect two universes. Now that the wormhole leading to Earth, where Takayama Gamu is located, has been stabilized, it means that it has achieved synchronization with the target universe. The "future humans" do not need to keep this bridge, so the next step is to dismantle it, accelerate the evaporation of the wormhole, and release the main force of the fleet that is stationed inside because the wormhole's exit capacity is insufficient.

Beyond the aurora barrier, the landscape is slowly transforming into that of another universe, where the moon remains intact, still holding countless imaginings of humankind.

The energy released by Samuel and the monster during their battle accelerated the process, making the barrier thinner and thinner. He looked up at the fleet of "future people," which was as numerous as raindrops in a rain cloud.

With a brief moment of distraction, the monsters surrounded him again. Samuel knew he had to finish the fight quickly, so he intermittently activated the Meta Domain to separate the monster weapons controlled by the "future man" and eliminate them piece by piece.

Lucifer was waiting for the opportunity to emerge from Meta Realm and pack the next batch of monsters inside.

He said to the white-haired man, "I told you to remember to capture an Anchimata. You didn't forget it because you were in such a hurry, did you?"

Chapter 182 Burning Blood

The white-haired man bowed his head and stood solemnly: "Of course I won't forget, and as you instructed, I will dispatch them when the space channel experiences fluctuations."

"The monster Anchimata from the antimatter world is so dangerous that it is usually destroyed as soon as it appears, using antimatter conversion technology," Lucifer kindly explained to Kinoshita Kei, regardless of whether the other party liked it or not.

The operators were used to the sudden disappearance of giants and monsters. They looked down to confirm the coordinates and directed the forward naval guns to aim at that area.

Within the Meta domain, Samuel shoved a Caesar de Bessie into the water, then...

It pierced through its "front eye," which occupied almost the entire top of its face, with a light blade.

As I got up to deal with the next problem, I noticed a strange monster wobbling towards me.

Its appearance was quite strange; like a snake shedding its skin, it emerged from the body of a monster with huge eyes that seemed to hold molten lava in its mouth.

The monster, which was being used as a "cargo ship," split open on its back, and two shadows emerged from it. One was a humanoid creature with long arms and legs, but its head resembled that of an insect. The other was a thing that wobbled and flew over, like a starfish with one of its tentacles split in two.

It hides inside a spherical membrane, where pale purple energy flows and dizzying patterns roll across its surface.

The humanoid figure waved forward, and the starfish-like creature obediently stepped forward. As it approached Samuel, the membrane opened, followed by a deafening roar unlike anything ever heard or felt before, so close it felt like two black holes colliding.

Such a powerful sound seemed somewhat distant to Samuel.

The tearing sensation lasted only a moment, followed by a sudden darkening of vision and abruptly fading senses.

Outside, energy reactions were detected again at the location where the giant and monster disappeared, as monitored by surveillance cameras.

There were one, two, and a whole bunch of light particles that appeared from the void.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on the monitor, Takayama Gamu turned to look at Fujimiya Hiroya, who had also woken up. Their eyes met, and Takayama Gamu looked at the transformation device and then at the other person, mouthing "feel" as if to suggest that Fujimiya Hiroya try to retrieve the transformation device by using his connection with Agul.

Their actions were observed by Lucifer, but he was too lazy to bother with such petty tricks. He handed the transformation device to the mechanical arm, which was now firmly locked in the metal cage due to the influence of its master's will.

Seemingly echoing the flickering red and blue light within the metal arm, more and more light particles appeared on the screen before a human figure materialized.

Kinoshita Kei, still dog-paddled and trying to break free of control, stared blankly as the humanoid figure fell out of the void. Apart from him, everything else, from Caesar Debisi to the Destroyer Kipbu, and even the monster Anchimata from the antimatter world itself, had vanished completely, as if wiped out in the explosion.

The others didn't react much, but Lucifer was stunned for a moment: "Still alive? Didn't collapse into an energy body?"

The fleet removed the antimatter conversion barrier it had set up to prevent being affected by the aftershocks of the explosion. The light particles were blown about as if by an invisible wind. The humanoid figure within remained motionless, but countless specks of light had already spread in all directions, leaving golden trails as they moved, looking from afar like a firework in bloom.

The feeling of physical collapse is familiar.

Samuel vaguely recalled that it was in Vitamori, where he had made a desperate attempt to save the collapsing planet, dividing himself into eleven parts to lock Vitamori in place as if sealing away some monster.

Looking back now, this approach was reckless and showed absolutely no consideration for Muchini's feelings at the time. When disaster struck, you abandoned your human form to fight alone, wanting the other person to survive, but forgetting how the other person should survive.

Muchini hadn't finished his planned coursework; he relied on the knowledge imparted by the church school and depended on Samuel as a listener. He was simple-minded and far from mature; how could you just disappear halfway through?

Kinoshita Kei is more resilient than Muchini. He has seen more "tricks" and always has some ingenious ideas, but his actions can't keep up with his thoughts. He often fails when trying to recreate "imagined moves".

For example, the Wind Release Shuriken he talked about never succeeded, and the Rasengan never spun. In the end, he just held a ball of light, like he was holding a big light bulb.

He was gradually coming to understand that the duty of an Ultra Warrior was to be a gem that was about to be wiped clean, but still had some dust clinging to it—if he disappeared after “gathering intelligence”, he would be depressed for a long time.

“I won’t disappear halfway through again.” Samuel remembered the promise he had made to Pitot.

He still possessed crucial intelligence; if he disappeared here, what would happen to the spaceship stationed at the entrance? They were excellent soldiers, and Samuel had seen too many excellent soldiers die, so he did not want the same misfortune to befall the living.

"Calling a driver! Calling a driver!" The slime's voice came from afar, like a rollercoaster: "Does the customer need a designated driver? Hello? Are you alive?"

“Living,” Samuel said.

The slime, bored, repeated its calls, then paused, and suddenly raised its voice: "I'm all ready to go, how come you're still alive?! Besides assimilation, do you also have immortality?! The plan to open the Titans is ruined, ruined! Dog container, let me out!"
