Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

Longbo hovered on the surface of the moon, his invisible aura spreading, making the already exhausted Ultraman feel increasingly heavy.

But Longbo didn't linger on Ultraman for long. His gaze extended further, landing on the wreckage of the spaceship, watching the shadow that was expanding into a huge one, and his figure moving in that direction.

"Unforgivable..." A cold and angry voice traveled through the frigid universe through energy.

"I will not let you off easily!"

A massive silhouette rose from the ruins of the spaceship, its height reaching the sky, casting a shadow that blotted out the sun.

Baltan stands amidst the obscuring lunar dust, its two enormous iron pincers hanging naturally, opening and closing in the cold universe, its compound eyes gleaming.

At this moment, the Baltan aliens gathered all their scattered power and consciousness, and countless Baltan alien clones merged into one, creating a giant individual that was thousands of meters in size.

Countless Baltan clones could be vaguely seen on his body surface, melting and combining together, with many limbs wriggling like hair being blown by a breeze.

Lumber hovered in front of the Baltan aggregate, and the sounds of different Baltan clones fusing together mingled together, spreading through the cold deep space.

"He's coming, run... kill him... unforgivable... fight to the death... capture them... don't kill them, these are unique experimental subjects..."

Longbo watched this scene with immense disappointment; this Baltan alien was indeed powerful.

This is evident from the sheer power it gathers; it is exceptionally astonishing and ranks among the top enemies Longbo has ever encountered.

However, he separated his own power and consciousness, and the clones have developed their own thoughts. With thousands of thoughts coming together, none of them are willing to submit to the others.

Under such circumstances, the Baltan alien's immense power could not be unleashed; now, it had nothing but a body on the verge of collapse.

He could no longer even emit light.

Seeing this, as the Baltan aliens raised their giant iron pincers, Longber raised his hand, and Specium particles gathered in his palm, then transformed into dazzling rays of light that shot out.

The brilliant light pierced through the Baltan alien's body, tearing a huge gap hundreds of meters wide. The light continued to extend into the universe until it disappeared into the solar system.

This scene was clearly displayed in Ultraman's eyes, leaving him stunned and filled with disbelief.

"This is... the Specium Ray?"

In his eyes, it was undoubtedly a Specium particle, released in the form of a torrent.

Although there are subtle differences between them and their own Specium particles, they are not fundamentally different.

If any Ultraman released this, no one would question whether it was the Specium Ray, but if it were used on a monster, it would be terrifying.

The Baltan alien's massive body gradually disintegrated, its form lost control, and it fell helplessly, raising clouds of dust. Its pincers covered the gaps in its disintegrating body.

"impossible…"

"How could I be so vulnerable?"

Amidst the smoke and dust came the hysterical roar of the Baltan alien, who forcibly controlled the clones to converge towards the gap, attempting to rebuild their bodies.

But the next second, a second beam pierced through the smoke and dust, hitting his head precisely and annihilating him into millions of Baltanron bodies in one strike, the trail of light disappearing into the universe.

His massive body collapsed again from the impact, unable to rise again, and each Baltan clone that made up his body gradually dissolved.

All the clones that made up his body turned their gazes to Longbo, cold and eerie, revealing an indescribable sense of strangeness and malice.

"Don't think we will perish!"

"In this vast Milky Way and even in other galaxies, there are countless other beings like us!"

The Baltan alien's voice was unusually loud at this moment, even revealing a strange determination.

"They will evolve to the pinnacle of the universe, and from there dominate..."

Longbo could clearly see his body energy compressing, and a subtle sense of danger arose within him.

"Self-destruct?" Longbo pondered, but did not give the Baltan aliens the opportunity.

Then came the third and fourth beams of light that pierced his body, blasting open wounds and leaving him utterly powerless to fight back, his consciousness completely extinguished.

"The entire...universe..." the Baltan murmured in his final moments before death.

The most powerful individual among the Baltans eventually dissolved completely, turning into a nauseating substance that died on Earth's satellite.

He is extremely powerful; even a few clones with partial consciousness and power can suppress Ultraman.

However, because he divided himself too thoroughly, countless clones developed unique thoughts, and he could no longer control them, ultimately killing himself.

Even without Longbo, he might have died quietly on the moon after defeating Ultraman due to arrogance and internal strife within the clones.

After a grueling and arduous battle, you finally defeated the strongest Baltan alien in the universe. You win!

[Gained: Skills *3]

"..."

Longbo remained silent for a moment, then finally raised his hand and reignited the psionic flames, burning away the remaining material of the Baltan aliens, leaving not a single cell behind.

After doing all this, Longbo turned his head and gazed at Ultraman standing in the distance. His body was now covered in wounds, and even the timer on his chest was glowing red, clearly indicating that he was at his last gasp.

Faced with an unknown entity more than twice his height, Ultraman, despite having reached his limit, still assumed a fighting stance.

Ultraman stared at Longbo with his milky-white eyes. Seeing that Longbo showed no sign of attacking, Ultraman asked, "What... exactly are you? Why can you use Specium Particles?"

Before Longbo could answer, he heard the priestess's voice in his mind, saying that the giant before him bore a resemblance to her child.

Therefore, she wanted to see if she could find a way to help the child recover as soon as possible by looking at the giant in front of her.

Seeing this, Longbo immediately dispelled his stance, leaving the descending power and will within the priestess's body.

Perhaps due to their shared motherhood, the priestess's body possessed an astonishing capacity to bear Longbo's power, excluding psychic energy, and their compatibility was remarkably high.

She was almost another Ryubo, seemingly the perfect vessel for Ryubo's power. Even after the battle, Ryubo's power could still be stored in her body.

Therefore, Longbo left the portion of his power that had descended to Earth within the priestess, allowing her to return to her original form.

Longbo hovered in front of Ultraman, calmly gazing into his eyes. Then, he raised his hand and drew a beam of light from Earth, channeling it into Ultraman's body.

"The power of light is not exclusive to you; other beings can also wield this power."

As Ultraman felt the dazzling light emanating from the beautiful planet behind him, the red light from the timer on his chest gradually subsided, and he gradually lowered his guard.

In his mind, humans who could use light, even if they weren't completely good people, were at least not like the Baltan aliens.

As he observed Longbo, he suddenly realized that this being, who used a human woman as a vessel, gave him a certain feeling of being somewhat similar to Zoffy when not using that strange power.

"In that case... it makes sense that I can use light," Ultraman muttered to himself.

Longbo looked past Ultraman, gazing at the distant planet, his brow furrowing slightly. He sensed something was amiss.

Upon seeing this, Ultraman turned around and looked at the beautiful planet as well, once again captivated by it, his milky-white eyes reflecting the scenes of endless life.

Soon, he recalled that the Baltans had mentioned that they had sent many experimental subjects to the planet.

His heart tightened, and he instinctively wanted to fly to that planet, but he suppressed the urge because of the presence beside him.

He suddenly realized that the being before him was very likely connected to the existence of this planet.

After a brief moment of thought, he told the woman beside him everything he had heard from the Baltan aliens.

Longbo narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly. The priestess then pointed out that she had indeed sensed something descending upon Earth, and that she had also discovered a huge container near Apophis.

Godzilla II and Snow Demon thus left Africa, leaving only her in a city-state near Apophis's residence.

"The Baltan aliens..."

Longbo controlled the priestess's body and led her toward the teleportation vortex formed by azure psionic energy.

Before stepping into the vortex, the priestess took control, slowly turned to look at Ultraman, and said with a smile, "Could you please come to this planet as well? I have some things I'd like to ask for your help with."

The sudden change in tone made Ultraman realize instantly that it was the woman, who was the vessel, who was speaking this time.

Although he didn't know the reason, Ultraman nodded, adhering to the idea of ​​helping others.

But just as the woman disappeared into the vortex, Ultraman was about to fly after her when he heard a sound behind him.

Turning his head, he saw a broken-down Uyingdam walking over, tilting his head and looking at him.

...

Not long after, Longbo returned to Earth once again, hovering at the top of the atmosphere.

He lowered his gaze slightly, his eyes glowing blue as he stared at the vibrant planet before him. The perspective before him kept shifting. Although the planet's will had fallen into slumber, its instincts were still responding to Longbo.

One image after another was clearly transmitted to Longbo's eyes. In an instant, Longbo sensed the current location of the plasma monsters scattered in various corners of the earth.

One of them was located in the mountains directly below Longbo, so Longbo decisively stretched out his hands and used the power of his psychic energy and magnetic field to forcibly grab the monster.

As Longbo's hands gradually tightened, the mountains directly below began to rotate, lifting the ferocious monster up and pressing down on it.

Just then, Ultraman, who had just arrived, reached out to Longbo and pleaded.

"Wait, could you let us handle these? Maybe we can turn them back to normal."
