Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

Chapter 106 Baltan Testing Grounds

When Longbo landed on this exceptionally desolate planet, it had already fallen into silence, with only a lithosphere remaining.

Longbo stood atop a high mountain on the planet's surface, taking in the shattered battlefield below.

A fierce battle recently broke out here, leaving the entire continent covered with dense bombardment marks, and the scorched earth emitting residual high-temperature plasma.

The heart of the battlefield is the land right in front of Longbo, where the remains of monsters and the broken limbs of the same mechanical monsters are scattered.

Many monsters bearing various signs of modification trudged stiffly as they cleaned up the mess on this land.

On the horizon, tens of kilometers away from the battlefield, a towering all-metal structure stands in the lithosphere.

The ground was littered with broken remnants of the earth, and deep ravines were etched around the tower.

Several monsters with various injuries on their bodies dragged the remains of their "companions" into the distance, as if collecting these remains into the interior of the tower.

Longbo watched all of this quietly; this was clearly the location of the separated fleet.

An unknown entity defeated powerful creatures here and built a tower on this planet.

If nothing unexpected happens, they seem to want to do the same thing on the planet where Lombard settled, but the fleet was destroyed by Lombard.

But for some reason, this fleet did not choose to help the other fleet at that time, but stayed here instead.

Longbo did not believe they had not received the message.

Although Longbo had dismantled the fleet in a very short time, it was enough for the spaceship to send out a distress signal.

Longbo looked at the scattered mechanical structures and monster remains before him, lost in thought.

A bold idea came to his mind.

Longbo looked at the distant tower, his figure gradually disappearing into the mountain. He needed to verify his guess.

When he reappeared, he was already not far from the tower. He used his psionic powers to conceal his figure and followed behind one of the modified monsters.

To prevent the tower from possessing verification capabilities similar to the Pioneer, Longbo also casually picked up a piece of the modified monster's flesh to prevent the verification from failing.

Longbo drifted in, the blinding light falling behind him, while the light in the deep passage ahead grew increasingly dim.

The cold, mechanical walls were perfectly smooth, over 300 meters high, and wide enough for a dozen monsters to walk side by side.

As Longbo ventured deeper, a vast space came into view. The interior of the tower was much larger than the diameter of the tower outside, and the overall lighting was very dim.

After the monsters returned and laid down their remains, they came to a standstill.

Large quantities of monster remains and machinery were piled up in the corner, with mechanical tentacles extending from the walls, neatly categorizing the remains and machinery.

In the dim world, cries of anger and pain could be heard, as well as suppressed anger and concern for one's companions.

Looking up, one sees dozens of monster "statues" engraved on the endless mechanical walls.

Various monsters from the depths of the universe are imprisoned here. All the monsters are asleep, roaring or terrified, like exhibits displayed on the wall of honor, at the mercy of others.

On the other side of the wall, the red and silver giants were also imprisoned inside, their bodies seemingly cast in molten iron and frozen in a motionless position.

They were the same group of Ultramen from the Land of Light that Longbo had met not long ago; they seemed to have been captured and imprisoned here after their defeat.

In front of the Ultramen, mechanical tentacles extended towards them, with sharp iron pincers and drills clearly visible at the ends.

Clearly, these Ultraman were also used as prototypes for modification, and the mastermind behind them wanted to transform them into war weapons like those monsters.

Longbo's gaze fell on the giants, and he gradually became certain of his guess.

If he guessed correctly, the reason why the owner of the tower did not go to provide immediate support after receiving the information was because of this group of Ultramen from the Land of Light.

The mastermind behind this might be to modify these Ultramen and then use their power to deal with Longbo, who is capable of defeating an entire fleet.

Having confirmed his guess, Longbo looked around again, his gaze sweeping across every corner of the tower space. He didn't find any creature other than Ultraman, which meant that this place was also run by an intelligent program.

"Click..."

The door behind them closed, and the light grew even dimmer.

The mechanical and modified monsters, which had been at a standstill, awoke and surrounded Longbo. Clearly, Longbo had been exposed to the tower's master.

But Longbo wasn't surprised. It would be strange if someone capable of capturing and modifying so many monsters and Ultraman couldn't discover him.

Moreover, since they can traverse the galaxy and know which planet they are on, there is no reason why they wouldn't be able to find him when he is right next to them.

But he didn't panic. He had already won once, so of course he wouldn't lose this time either.

He could clearly sense that there was no life in this space that could threaten his existence.

Even if these monsters joined forces, they couldn't do it; their lurking was merely out of fear that launching an attack too early would allow them to escape.

But now that I've entered this place, and there's no mastermind behind this tower, hiding has lost its meaning.

As the encirclement tightened, a device in the distance projected a faint holographic image, revealing a blurry alien figure to Longbo.

Perhaps due to the distance, the figure was extremely blurry, with only cicada-like eyes and head vaguely visible, and the body vaguely showing bone armor and pincers.

The familiar silhouette reminded Longbo of the enemy he had once encountered: the Baltan aliens.

"Ho...ho...hoho..."

The chilling laughter echoed throughout the space, further confirming the identity of the mastermind behind it all.

The eerie laughter and the strange phenomena of monsters surrounding a certain direction alerted Ultraman, who was imprisoned in the distance, to the unusual occurrences that had occurred.

While struggling, they also paid close attention to the situation.

"I never expected that just when I was preparing to reform these people of the Land of Light and have them fight against you, you would come knocking on my door."

The Baltan aliens confirmed Longber's guess with a cold laugh and gave Longber extremely high praise.

"Your strength is immense; perhaps only I can capture you personally."

"Your abilities are also very strange. Not only is your strength beyond imagination, but if the spaceship hadn't transmitted your data and electromagnetic fluctuations before it was destroyed, we wouldn't have been able to detect your presence here so quickly."

The Baltan alien cast a cold glance at Longbo through the holographic projection.

"You're the monster that caused such a stir in the universe recently, right? The universe's guess about you was indeed correct; your power is extremely rare."

Ignoring the holographic image before him, Longbo retrieved a spear and warhammer from Pandora's Realm and launched an attack on the surrounding modified and mechanical monsters.

Spears pierced through flesh and machine, warhammers shattered steel, and every swing sent the monster's remains flying, crashing against the walls and igniting a raging fire.

The Baltan alien watched all this, knowing full well that Ultraman's modifications were not yet complete, and that his power was insufficient to defeat the monster that had annihilated the entire fleet.

His true form is located in a faraway corner of the Milky Way and cannot reach this place in a short time. Therefore, he can only collect data remotely using instruments and cannot do anything else.

"Your power is astonishing. Would you like to cooperate with me to dominate this universe? I can try to preserve your sanity while making your power even more incredible."

"..."

Longbo ignored them, gripping his warhammer and spear tightly in his arms, silently wielding them as he charged into the horde of modified monsters with a series of whooshing sounds, unleashing a bloodbath.

His height of nearly 180 meters and his enormous weight allow him to unleash extraordinary power.

Pure melee combat alone is enough to overwhelm these sluggish, modified monsters; each strike sends them flying, spinning and disintegrating in mid-air.

Longbo is like a highly efficient killing machine. With a size many times larger than a monster, he moves with lightning speed, shifting and turning. He doesn't have any superb skills, but only simple slashing, stabbing and swinging, which can produce a highly efficient close-combat suppression ability.

Simply put, it's a pure numerical crushing victory.

In the end, the Baltan aliens could only watch helplessly as Lumber dismantled his base with no skill whatsoever.

Despite being on the opposing side, the Baltan aliens couldn't help but marvel at the incredible power of the monster before them.

Its intelligence is also impeccable; knowing it is being tested, it decisively abandons other abilities to avoid revealing more information and chooses the most basic form of violence.

After a long time, the entire tower was engulfed in flames, and all the monsters were dismantled, their flesh and parts scattered in the burning inferno.

The entire tower space was now empty except for Longbo, the holographic projection, and the imprisoned Ultraman.

The flames grew stronger, engulfing most of the tower's instruments and causing the holographic projection to flicker.

The Baltan alien gave Longbo a final, deep look, followed by a cold voice.

I will find you.

Ultimately, the entire tower disintegrated in a violent explosion, and the imprisoned Ultramen were thrown in all directions amidst the flames.

However, Longbo never responded to him with a single word, nor did he even glance at him.
