Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

M78 Nebula, the Land of Light.

The newborn "sun" hangs high above the towering mountains, radiating a dazzling light full of abundant energy, illuminating this civilization that has been rebuilt from disaster.

The civilization that was almost destroyed in that cosmic catastrophe has long since been rebuilt, with buildings thousands or even tens of thousands of meters tall standing tall.

"Although the mutation of life in the universe after the energy of the plasma spark went out of control was expected..."

Within the dome of a building thousands of meters high, a Silver Clan warrior with bull horns on his head and wearing a crimson cloak looked at the mechanical structures before him with a great headache.

"But none of us expected that these biomechanical devices, which came from nowhere, would accelerate biological mutations."

As the leader of the Land of Light finished speaking, the warriors surrounding him nodded in agreement.

As those who directly confronted those plasma-mutated monsters and brought these machines back, they have a deeper understanding of the monsters' mutations.

Gao Lai'an looked around at everyone. His height, which was much taller than his companions, made him stand out from the crowd, and no one could ignore his presence.

He lowered his head, looking at the machinery on the table with his hands, as if lost in memories: "The creature I defeated was larger than I imagined; its enormous size and weight made it impossible for it to survive."

"But if it's like us, affected by plasma sparks, then that makes sense."

Gao Lai paused, recalling his out-of-control state and the monster's brutality, and after a brief hesitation, continued, "This also explains why they are so brutal."

Beside him, his friend Freya keenly noticed the wounds on his body. "Were these injuries inflicted by that monster as well?"

"No, it was from a sparring match I had just met," Gao Lian shook his head in denial. "He's a very strong Titan, from somewhere in the galaxy, and we speak the same language."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, including Father of Ultra. Everyone looked at Gorean in disbelief and fell into silence.

They couldn't believe that these words could come out of Gao Le'an's mouth.

This guy, Gorian, who only has a few friends in the Land of Light because he's too easily out of control, has actually made friends outside of the Land of Light?!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, everyone burst into laughter and began teasing Gao Lai'an.

"You've learned to actively make friends too..."

Gao Lai'an waved his hand, "We'll talk about that later. Right now, the most important thing is those plasma monsters."

Across from him, Zagi from the Seven Clan got back to the main topic first, adding a pointed remark:

"It is said that some of these creatures only mutate in form after mutation. Not all mutated creatures have their instincts distorted or amplified."

Father of Ultra crossed his arms and looked down at the mechanical device in front of him. "In other words, these mechanical structures were deliberately created by someone with ulterior motives."

"Who on earth did this...?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, their minds racing as they recalled those infamous races in the universe.

Just then, a voice came from afar.

"It was the mastermind behind inserting the Devreta factor into the artificial sun we created."

Everyone was startled by the words and turned to look at the source of the sound. Soon, they saw a familiar and reliable figure appear before them in that direction.

"Zoffy!!"

Zoffy came to the group's side, first nodding to Father of Ultra, who was in charge, and then recounting what he had discovered without reservation, leaving everyone's thoughts in turmoil.

Zoffy mentioned that when he and Ace were exploring a planet, they found the injured Rutia and other warriors, and learned about the mastermind behind it all from them.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

After thinking for a moment, Zoffy finally told her about another thing without reservation.

"While Lutia and the others were being captured by the mastermind, another monster that the mastermind was targeting stormed into the spaceship, indirectly saving them."

As he spoke, Zoffy used energy to replicate the monster's appearance in his hand, displaying it before everyone's eyes.

It is more than three times the height of an Ultraman warrior, with a huge body, thick bone armor, iconic horns, and two pairs of azure eyes.

"This is..." Gao Lian was taken aback upon seeing the image, then instinctively asked, "Long Bo? Did he unintentionally save Lutia and the others?"

The others immediately realized something, understanding that the monster in the scene before them was very likely Gao Lai'an's new friend.

"Longbo...is that the name of this monster? Latest plot: Click to follow." Zoffy also realized that Gaolian seemed to know something.

Gao Lian nodded. "I met him not long ago. He shouldn't be considered a monster, but rather a race called Titans. He has a huge size and vigorous vitality. He's a pretty good guy."

"Moreover, he's not only powerful, but he also possesses the same qualities as you," Gao Lian gazed at Zoffy and added, "like a star that's shining brightly."

"So that's how it is..."

The others thoughtfully imagined how this Titan named Longbo, who saved the Land of Light, could have exhibited behaviors similar to Zoffy's, and ultimately came to a conclusion.

"Is he one of us?"

Gao Lai'an shook his head. Although he hadn't had much interaction with Longbo, he could tell that Longbo didn't share the same mindset as the Light Clan.

Zoffy gave an unexpected answer, looking at the image in his hand and also lost in memories.

"I've met him too."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads, waiting for Zoffy's next words to judge Titan's character.

"I have seen him rescue a group of human refugees in the desert, and I have also seen traces of his rescue efforts in another tribe."

"During that encounter, we exchanged an unexpected glance. Gao Lian was right; he does resemble me in some ways."

"That near-dead planet was revitalized because of him, and civilization was able to continue."

"During the rest of the journey, I also saw the planets he had saved. As he traveled, many planets had legends associated with him."

"The ecological balancer, also known as the restorer, is what many civilizations call him."

Despite the passage of many years, Zoffy still vividly remembers that enormous outline that he only caught a fleeting glimpse of.

If possible, Zoffy hopes to have a face-to-face conversation with the other party.

Zoffy became exceptionally powerful because he could hear the planet's cries for survival, and this immense power also brought a sense of bewilderment to his heart.

He was too strong, so strong that he felt somewhat overwhelmed and even a little afraid.

Upon hearing this, the Silver Cross leader, who was also draped in a cloak, offered his own thoughts: "So, he's a kind warrior just like us?"

"No…"

Zoffy shook his head again, the image in his hand changing from Titan to a planet that had gradually recovered to a certain extent. He continued in a complex tone, "This planet once had a very advanced civilization."

"But because they polluted the planet's ecosystem, causing the extinction of most life forms, the planet itself is crying out for help."

"Therefore, he descended there and ruthlessly destroyed that civilization, leaving only a few survivors."

Gao Lai'an was stunned for a moment, his feelings becoming complicated. He hadn't expected that a friend he had just acknowledged would do such a thing.

Beside him, Freya patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to jump to conclusions so quickly; sometimes, every creature has a contradictory side.

Zoffy organized his thoughts and continued, "He seems more like an ecological balancer, extending a helping hand to dying planets and civilizations, protecting life."

"But at the same time, he is also a destroyer. He will ruthlessly destroy any civilization that disrupts the balance and squeezes the living space of other life forms."

High above, unyielding, devoid of warmth, only cold, rigid laws governing the balance of life.

This is Zoffy's impression and true opinion of that fleeting glimpse of the Titan.

The others seemed thoughtful, having formed a basic impression of Longbo's existence.

"Like a god in the legends of some civilizations, high above and completely just over all things."

"In that case, how should we deal with him?" Gao Lai'an was the first to raise his question.

Everyone fell silent, for they were all willing to give their lives to protect the peace of other civilizations.

But how should the Land of Light deal with him?

And what if the civilization he is protecting is about to be destroyed by him?

Zoffy smiled, clenched his fist, and gave everyone his answer once again.

"What we can do is not to condemn his actions, but to guide civilization onto the right path. That is the true meaning of gaining this power!"

As someone who has sworn to protect the peace of civilizations throughout the universe, Zoffy will not waver in his resolve.

Similarly, he could not believe that the Titans' destructive actions were wrong, so he resolved to guide civilization onto the right path and prevent it from being destroyed.

Only in this way will they not have failed the power possessed by the Clan of Light.
