Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

The torrent that shot straight into the sky disappeared, and Bemstein, lying across the cosmos, was completely freed from its suffering under the warm glow.

In its final moments, Longbo heard its last whisper, filled with gratitude.

[You have mercifully granted Bemstein the relief he longed for, for which he is deeply grateful.]

[Gift: Skill Points *2]

The dust settled, and the planet escaped the crisis of disintegration, but the starlight that enveloped Lombard still surrounded him, making the planet as bright as day.

Longbo lowered his head, clenched his fists, and felt an overwhelming sense of power that made him feel almost omnipotent.

But Longbo knew this was a false illusion; this power was not permanent. It was merely a temporary boost from the Star Voice, granting him a completely new state.

How should I describe it?

At this moment, he felt as if he had become light, a state of idealistic brilliance, but his essence remained that of a Titan undergoing ascension, not that of Ultraman.

What should this state be called?

Shining Longbo?

No, it's not only strange, it's also a bit silly.

Although it's a bit strange that a "monster" would gain a "shining" state, Longbo can't refute the power of this force at the moment.

Soon, Longbo came up with a perfect name: "Hyper-Long..."

[Status - Voice of the Stars, already entered into panel - Ability - Voice of the Stars - Suffix]

"..."

"That's enough."

Longbo hesitated, then gave up trying to think of anything.

Longbo dispersed his power, sending streaks of starlight falling into the universe, preparing to return the light from all corners of the cosmos.

He originally only intended to borrow a little power to help Bemstein escape painlessly, but he didn't expect that the first use would cause such a big commotion.

The amount of power he consumed was only a drop in the ocean, which forced him to put in some effort to return the light.

However, at this moment, the voice of the stars rang out again, saying that the power they gave was only a wisp of their own, and there was no need to take it back.

In other words, to reclaim this ray of light, one would need to consume far more power than the light itself.

Therefore, all Longbo needs to do is scatter these rays of light throughout the universe. As long as they flow back into the universe, these energies will essentially return to their original form over billions of years.

"..."

Longbo fell silent, then turned and prepared to head into space to dispel the light.

However, a casual glance as he turned his head revealed to him the Warrior's Peak towering above the mountains.

The clouds and mist surrounding the storm-shrouded rocky mountain dissipated, revealing its towering form in remarkable clarity, making it easily visible even to humans.

An idea suddenly came to Longbo's mind.

perhaps…

If we leave the light here…

Longbo stopped dispersing the light, floated up, and drifted towards the mountains, his twilight robes fluttering in the wind.

He came to the front of the mountain and stretched out his hands toward the top of the Warrior's Peak, his huge hands almost enveloping the tiny mountain peaks.

A dazzling light gathered in Longbo's palm under his control. He asked the stars in his heart if he could leave the starlight here.

If someone of noble character were to climb this mountain in the future, they would be able to undergo super evolution to repay the stars that gave them power.

Although Lombre can harness the light of the stars, he is still a "monster" and has his own goals, so he won't devote himself entirely to protecting the stars.

He only does it when he has nothing to do or when he has something to do.

Therefore, enabling more qualified people to access this power will help Longbo better give back to the stars.

The light shone even brighter.

The voices of the stars responded to Longbo, acknowledging his decision and promising their support.

In Longbo's perception, the consciousness of one planet after another appeared beside him along with the light, surrounding him like stars around the moon.

Countless light particles rotated, creating a dazzling light resembling the Milky Way, with streaks of starlight falling towards Longbo.

The brilliance of the stars extended from Longbo's palm, transforming into countless warm threads that wove into dazzling light. A faint ray of light, enough to enable a person to undergo a super-evolution, rose from the cold summit of the warrior, flickering like a candle flame in the wind.

The light emanating from this O-50 was not a ring, but a blazing "flame," making the entire Warrior's Summit resemble a torch standing in the frigid polar night.

Near the peak of warriors, the light on Longbo's body dissipated, and his body returned to its original state, unchanged except that his body was very full.

In Longbo's eyes, this ray of light swaying in the wind was enough to allow several people to undergo super evolution and become powerful individuals like Ultraman.

Although it cannot become a powerful nation like M78, it is enough to produce several powerful warriors who, guided by the light of the avatar of the Voice of the Stars, illuminate the stars.

To prevent it from developing into a black-hearted factory in the neighboring universe, Longbo thoughtfully included a beginner's guide, advising the Star Voice to give these warriors a beginner's period and not to start doing cosmic-level tasks right away.

If conditions permit, we can also provide them with some employee benefits, newbie equipment, etc.

The Voices of the Stars seemed to understand this but not quite; it was their first time doing something like this, and they had little experience with it.

Longbo returned to his original position, looked up at the light at the pinnacle of warriors, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pride.

Creating an Ultraman birthplace with your own hands is an experience that not everyone can have.

Although it wasn't entirely done by him alone, his influence cannot be erased.

I wonder what kind of expression a warrior who emerges from here in the future will have when he has fought monsters his whole life and finally discovers that his origins are inextricably linked to monsters.

With that thought in mind, Longbo opened Pandora's Magic Realm and stepped inside. Next, he should find and take care of those damned Baltan aliens.

...

As Longbo disappeared from planet O-50, the surrounding starlight also dissipated, and the storm returned to the planet, enveloping the towering Warrior's Peak.

Despite such a drastic change, the planet's environment remains extremely harsh, with a chaotic magnetic field and constant storms. The only difference is that a warm light now illuminates the highest peak on the planet.

Even in the deepest reaches of space, this warm glow can be clearly seen, guiding the way like a lighthouse.

The nearby aliens watched all of this in awe, and it wasn't until long after the light faded that they came to their senses.

Too many things shocked them that day.

The celestial-level Bemstein, the kilometer-level Zetton, a light even more dazzling than the gangsters in M78, a torch in the night, and so on.

Each of these events was a rare and momentous occurrence in the universe, and they should have been able to digest and savor them for a long time.

But the fact that all these major events happened on the same day left them feeling extremely bewildered.

Since that day, spaceships traveling through this galaxy have almost never gotten lost again. Everyone was amazed to find torches that appeared out of nowhere standing on the planets, and everyone could see the flickering flames.

Gradually, people became accustomed to navigating this star system in order to minimize the probability of getting lost.

Many forces have traveled to that planet to explore, but they have found that no technological products can get close to the mountain; it seems that the only way to climb it is by physical means.

Rumors circulate that anyone who climbs that mountain will gain unexpected and astonishing power.

But it has always been just a rumor, and no one has ever been able to climb to the top. Therefore, most people only regard it as a beacon for space travel.

People from both the legitimate and illegitimate worlds in the universe have given this eternally shining torch a rather fitting name.

Starlight.
