Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

11,000 BC, the Yellow River basin.

Goldras's figure appeared amidst the undulating mountains and riverbanks, carried by the lightning that dissipated from the spacetime dimension.

Its gaze swept across the sky and the surrounding mountains, and it gradually relaxed after realizing that there were no suspicious traces of human technology.

The surrounding spacetime energy continues to project the things Goldras inadvertently swept up during his travels into this timeline, and all sorts of products that do not belong to this era suddenly appear in the mountains.

Goldras was already used to this, and calmly strode towards the mountains, its astonishing weight causing each step to reverberate through the mountains.

Its gaze swept across the forest, searching for that familiar spatial fluctuation, but no matter how hard it searched, it found no suspicious signs.

This situation puzzled it greatly, as Hakib's birth time and place should have placed him here.

Goldras remained where he was, utterly perplexed. What if he didn't find it? Wouldn't all his hardships along the way have been for nothing?

...

At this moment, in the dense forest not far from Goldras.

Longbo gently placed the woolly rhinoceros he had captured on his shoulder and the ostrich he was carrying on his hand to the ground, leaned against the back of the moss-covered boulder, and fell into deep thought.

"Damn it, why didn't anyone tell me there were monsters in prehistoric times..."

"Did these things still exist in the Ice Age?"

At this moment, Longbo felt that he was a little confused. He kept thinking that he had seen wrong and that the monster looked a bit like the golden dragon that appeared in Ultraman Tiga.

How strange, let me take another look.

He cautiously peeked out from the rock, looking at the golden figure in the distance. The sharp horns and golden bone armor gradually overlapped with the image in the tokusatsu drama.

"No way..."

Longbo's gaze gradually fell behind the monster. When those things that did not belong to this era came into view, his pupils trembled violently. He did not even realize that his intense gaze had attracted the monster's attention.

Goldras narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze piercing through the gaps in the forest to land on the bony face, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He looks a bit like Hakiber, but not quite.

This little creature, which looks like a human, does not exhibit fluctuations in spacetime, nor does it have four eyes.

Goldras couldn't be sure of the other person's identity, but in order to get Hakiber to call him "big brother," it decided to go and confirm it.

A violent tremor came, instantly waking Longbo from his deep thoughts. He looked up in the direction of the monster and his eyes met instantly.

"!!"

Longbo took off running, ignoring his captured prey, and sped through the forest at an astonishing speed in the opposite direction of the tribe, disappearing into the distance in a flash.

This scene unfolded clearly before Goldras's eyes, causing it to pause in surprise. A question arose in its mind: This... shouldn't be Hakiber, right?

Goldras vaguely remembered that Lombard wasn't as cowardly as he thought.

So it gave up looking, shook its head, turned around and returned to the spacetime realm. The technological products that came with the lightning also disappeared in this primitive spacetime.

...

Goldras wandered aimlessly through the realms of time and space, visiting one time and space after another. Its journey once spanned the entirety of human history, but ultimately it failed to accomplish its primary purpose.

During this process, its spacetime capabilities quickly returned to their original precision, and traveling to the desired spacetime gradually became as easy as ever.

Just as Goldras was about to give up and return to Pandora, it suddenly sensed a spacetime fluctuation similar to that of Hakiber appearing without warning.

Without a second thought, Goldras tore open the spacetime rift and appeared in the rainbow magic realm.

When it opened its eyes, what came into view was the normal Rainbow Wonderland, without any messy carnivorous plants or dogs and horses running around.

Everything seemed so ordinary.

only…

Goldras looked up at the illusory sky. Was this rainbow wonderland a little too small?

In Goldras's perception, this Rainbow Realm was only a few kilometers in size, and its interior was completely barren.

Just then, it suddenly felt a slight touch under its feet, followed by a dull thud as something heavy fell over.

"..."

Goldras instinctively lowered his head, and what came into view was a small, silver monster. It was very small, only a few meters tall, and most of its fangs had fallen out, while its spiraling horns had not yet revealed their sharpness.

This is…

"Hilbargon?" Goldras's expression turned strange. It was no stranger to its kind, but it had never seen one this small before.

Moreover, the essence of this Rainbow Wonderland in the spacetime realm seems to be frighteningly similar to Hakiber's Pandora Wonderland.

Thinking of this, Goldras's eyes became exceptionally bright. Then, imitating Hakiber, he bent down and picked up the small monster.

This action also allowed Hilbagun, whose dynamic vision was not very good, to see Goldras's presence, but he did not find it strange.

Although it was only recently born, it already possessed a wealth of knowledge about its kind. (Read the full text for free, Chapter 146, "Reunion," link: [link missing]). It knew that the monster before it was named Goldras and was one of its own kind.

So it simply stood there, completely at Goldras's mercy, offering no resistance whatsoever.

"..."

Goldras looked at the small object in his hand, lost in thought. Should he... take it back with him?

It pondered in its heart, but its feet had already taken action. It turned around and stepped into the realm of time and space, disappearing again and returning to Pandora's Magic Realm along the timeline.

...

"So, you went out because your development reached a critical point, and you returned to the spacetime realm to absorb energy and break through that critical point?" In the Pandora Magic Realm, Longbo's voice rang out in front of Goldras.

Goldras nodded, trying to remain as relaxed as possible. Although Lombard had the ability to read minds, he wouldn't use it on his own people.

On the throne, Longbo stared into thought as Goldras surged more than twenty meters in height. He hadn't expected it to grow so fast.

However, its height and posture seemed somewhat familiar to Longbo, as if he had seen it before.

Seeing that Lombard was deep in thought, Goldras immediately sensed something was wrong, fearing that he might guess the real reason for his trip. So he decisively held up the small object he was carrying and showed it to Lombard.

"This is...Silbagon?"

Longbo took the little thing, and looking at its appearance, he instantly understood who this Hilbargon was.

Longbo clearly remembered that the first thing he saw when he first met Goldras was a Silvergun.

And like Goldras, he had a good relationship with that Hilbargon.

Its size and age were quite different from Goldras's. At that time, Goldras was about to evolve into King Goldras, while Hilbagun was still a minor.

Now, this Hilbagun is only recently born, so the time frame is about right.

Suddenly, Longbo looked at Goldras's familiar face and wondered again if that was really their first meeting.

He vaguely remembered that the golden dragon he had encountered near the banks of the Yellow River seemed to be about the same size as Goldras now.

At that time, he seemed to have just knocked down the woolly rhinoceros with one punch and was about to return to the tribe when he was scared away by the golden dragon and the sudden appearance of modern technological products, and he wasted a whole day.

He lamented for quite some time about the loss of the woolly rhinoceros, and then killed another one and brought it back.

Longbo looked at Goldras and the more he looked, the more he felt that it looked almost exactly the same as it did back then.

He posed this question to Goldras, asking if it had ever been to the banks of the Yellow River in prehistoric times and seen him.

This question sent a shiver down Goldras's spine, making him think his purpose had been exposed, but he quickly calmed down and honestly shook his head.

Although it went there with that purpose in mind, it never actually met Hakib, and there was nothing to hide about that.

Goldras stated that he visited many timelines on this trip, but did not meet Lombard.

He added that if Longbo had ever seen him, he must have been mistaken, since all the monsters of his kind looked similar, so it was normal to mistake one for the other.

"Really?" Longbo looked at Goldras, who had a self-righteous look on his face, with suspicion.

But he couldn't see any indication that Goldras was lying, so he didn't continue on the matter.

Looking at the sleeping Silvergon in his arms, Longbo was puzzled. Why did the golden dragon bring back such a small Silvergon?

And did Hilbagun's parents have no objections?

In response, Goldras calmly stated that as spacetime monsters, their race has no concept of parents and is directly conceived by the spacetime realm itself.

As for why he brought it back, Goldras didn't hide the specific reason from Lombre, frankly explaining that he felt that Hilbargon's Rainbow Realm fluctuations were very similar to Lombre's Pandora Realm fluctuations.

And so it brought Hilbargon back without giving it much thought.

Upon hearing this, Longbo understood. He had obtained his Pandora's Realm of Time and Space from this Silvergon, so it was not surprising that the time and space fluctuations were similar.

Upon hearing this, Longbo understood. He had obtained his Pandora's Realm of Time and Space from this Silvergon, so it was not surprising that the time and space fluctuations were similar.

"In that case, let's leave it here."

Although Pandora's Realm isn't very large, it's more than enough to accommodate a Silvergon.

Lombre handed Hilbargon back to Goldras, since it was the one who brought him back, so he would entrust the future to it.

"Remember, keep an eye on it, and don't let it get mixed up with the Golden Ship." Longbo thought that Hilbargon's silly and cute appearance in his memory was quite good, and he absolutely couldn't let the Golden Ship lead him astray.

Upon hearing this, Goldras clearly realized the seriousness of the matter, nodded solemnly, and led Hilbargon back to his lair.

As Goldras's figure disappeared from Longbo's sight, Longbo was still looking at its back with a puzzled expression.

"This is so similar... Are there really that many Goldras in this universe, and do they all love to come to Earth?"

Longbo stared at Goldras's back for a long time, but found nothing. Goldras's posture was terrifyingly self-righteous, and Longbo saw no sign of lying.

This proves that it has never seen itself.

but…

Why do they look so alike?

Longbo fell into self-doubt…
