Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

In the center of the desolate battlefield, a torrent of scattered spirits, like a cosmic storm, was abruptly severed by a gigantic hand in full view of everyone, which then grasped the Star Cup in its palm.

In an instant, the storm subsided, and God's figure appeared. The once desolate world rapidly transformed around Him, from a ruined battlefield into a lush and verdant landscape, a world teeming with life.

The omnipotent authority originating from the Star Grail transformed Mara into a higher being, his form expanding infinitely, enough to overlook the entire universe derived from the Star Grail.

Wherever His gaze falls, the dark stars are illuminated, and planets break free from their lifeless orbits.

Life emerged on the barren planet, and in a single thought, billions of years passed, transforming it into a lush and verdant primitive world. Countless different species raised their heads to gaze at the starry sky, taking the first step in the process of civilization.

A gentle breeze caressed the sea of ​​grass, causing it to surge like waves. The massive warship was half-submerged in the emerald green ocean, and the raging flames had died down.

The survivor stood blankly in this world that was always filled with the scent of grass, feeling the luxurious atmosphere even for forest elves, and fell silent. The weapon in his hand fell to the ground, and his eyes revealed a sense of bewilderment.

In the distance of the battlefield, several goblins sat helplessly on the grass in front of the broken steel wreckage, leaning against the warship and gazing at the new world.

The bright sunlight reflected in the sky, while the vast white clouds drifted by, casting shadows that obscured the sun. In the distance, the huge rings of neighboring planets were clearly visible.

The mechs, which were speeding toward this battlefield, stopped their movement. The command center looked up at the changed sky, and the internal processors processed a torrent of data, finally obtaining the answer.

In the center of the human settlement, people looked up in surprise and saw that the swaying dark clouds in the sky had dissipated and the sun was spreading across the entire earth, which puzzled them.

The calls of birds, which had disappeared since some unknown era, have returned to the world, leaving many intelligent beings bewildered and completely unaware of what they are.

The god of forging stood at the edge of the forest, letting wild deer pass by him, gazing at the birds flying past him with a somewhat dazed look in his eyes.

"Birds... how long has it been since I last saw them?"

He sighed, finally letting go of his obsession since birth, and gradually accepted the fact.

At this moment, everyone knew that the Star Cup battle, which had lasted for tens of thousands of years, had come to an end.

The one and only God, Mara, was born and transformed the entire world with his omnipotent authority.

The desolate world of the past is gone, replaced by a vibrant one where there is no longer a need to fight against other races and seize the elusive Star Cup.

Regin Levi crouched on the grass, his dragon eyes reflecting the towering figure standing in the center of the world, the irregular, multifaceted crystal star cup slowly turning in his hand.

"He...really did it..."

Regin Levi was utterly incredulous that the God of Vengeance had actually defeated the strongest God of War, pierced His essence, and obtained the Star Cup.

The process was incredibly fast; before she could even react, Mara had already obtained the Star Cup and transformed the world and the universe into what He desired.

However, a hint of doubt flashed in Regin Levi's dragon eyes as he whispered, "I originally thought you would transform this world into a hell of fire and vengeance."

Under the watchful eyes of the people, Marana's majestic figure was clearly visible. He gently raised his hand and left behind the ironclad laws he had established for this world.

It is forbidden for forces of Dragon Spirit rank or higher to engage in combat on the planet's surface. All actions except wars necessary for survival are prohibited, as is all forms of slaughter.

Because humanity, under Mara's transformation, was no longer a powerless race, Mara did not transform this place into a world where the use of force was forbidden, as the god of games had done.

Mara surveyed the world without uttering a sound, yet this series of ironclad rules were inscribed in the minds of all intelligent beings.

In addition, reproductive barriers between different races were also erased, including... the Demon Race, the Fantasy Race, and... the Dragon Spirit Race.

At the same time, a new name for this world was etched into people's hearts—[Gensokyo].

Everything returned to calm, and Mara completely disappeared from everyone's sight, as if he had never existed.

At the very moment He vanished, the Skywings came to their senses and realized the passing of their Creator, but they could not accept it no matter what.

Their purpose was to help the Creator achieve victory in the war and to bestow the Star Cup upon the strongest God of War. But now that the God of War is dead, they have lost all meaning.

So the Skywings took their own actions, ending their own lives and choosing to accompany their Creator.

As the wave of self-destruction spread, Azriel, in her fused form, raised her hand and used her power—which was now indistinguishable from that of a god—to stop them from committing suicide.

Faced with the despair and helplessness in everyone's eyes, and surrounded by an atmosphere of self-destruction, she spoke coldly, using the order of the race's full authority to prohibit suicide.

She claimed that the God of War had given her an order: if the God of War died in battle, then the Skywing race must help Him find the reason for His defeat.

Until the cause is found, all Skywings must obey Azriel's command and leadership, and are forbidden from dying.

The desperate Skywing race did not question this, but silently obeyed, taking it as a new meaning to their existence.

After a moment of silence, Azriel broke free from her fusion with the fantasy species Abandheim and left the battlefield with all the remaining Skywing species.

The dragon spirits silently spread their wings, turned and leaped into the dimension of time and space. The God of Forging walked away like a mortal. The goblins suppressed their excitement and pretended to be unhappy as they followed behind.

...

In the Garden of Eden, Mara stood atop the mountain, silently observing the world he had transformed; more precisely, his gaze was fixed on King Kong.

"Mara?" A voice sounded behind him. Rick emerged from the forest and saw Mara's back, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Mara reappearing before him, recalling the scene of Shubi's miraculous recovery, and considering the sudden change in the world's art style, he quickly found the answer: Mara had ultimately won the war.

Rick walked casually to Mara's side and said, feigning nonchalance, "Now that you've obtained the Star Cup, are you leaving?"

"That's right." Mara, maintaining her human form, didn't take her eyes off King Kong, but nodded.

Rick's eyes flashed with disappointment upon hearing this. For more than ten years, he had been following Mara's side, listening to His teachings, and had gradually grown to this level.

In His hands, humanity escaped its fate as mere food, reaching a level unimaginable before, and becoming a player on this chessboard.

All of this is inextricably linked to Mara. Without Him, the fate of mankind would still be dark and uncertain, with no future in sight.

Rick was incredibly grateful for Mara's actions, whether it was saving him as a child, raising and teaching him, or pulling humanity out of hell.

Now that He is about to leave, Rick feels a mix of emotions and is very reluctant to part with Him.

He silently gazed at Mara's profile, then mustered his courage and asked, "You've already obtained the Star Cup, you're an omnipotent being in this universe, yet even so, do you still want to leave this world?"

"What's wrong with staying here?"

"Kron, Schwi, nobody wants to see this happen. If you want to see us humans grow up on our own, you can do so without interfering, just like before."

Mara shook his head and said something that surprised Rick: "The Star Cup's 'omnipotence' has its limitations. I will not stop moving forward just because I have obtained the Star Cup, Rick."

Rick fell silent upon hearing this, but before he could react,

"So," Mara's voice rang out again, succinctly stating, "I will take this world with me."

"What?" Rick's eyes widened, as if he thought he had misheard.

Mara raised his hand, bringing the irregularly shaped crystalline star cup to life before his eyes. "This universe is composed of energy emanating from the star cup, so I can manipulate it at will, and naturally, I can also take the entire universe with me when I leave."

This information was only learned by Mara after he became the only God in the universe and obtained omnipotent authority.

Although the energy level of the Star Cup cannot reach the level of the "multiverse" mentioned by netizens in the previous life, it far surpasses the level of a single universe.

Mara, who wields the Star Cup, naturally possesses that level of power, enabling him to move the entire universe, composed of a portion of the Star Cup's energy, back into the Arcane Universe.

This process is not difficult for Marathon today.

Rick stood there stunned upon hearing this. As someone who had followed Mara since childhood, his education was different from others, and he possessed a higher level of knowledge.

He clearly understood what the universe was, and what it meant to be able to move the entire universe.

Rick's expression shifted unpredictably, his mind racing, but all that remained in his mouth was: "You mean, we can leave with you?"

Mara nodded.

"..."

The air fell silent, and even the sound of the breeze rustling through the grass became clear at that moment.

"Heh..." After a long while, Rick let out a relieved laugh and muttered, "What? Why didn't you say something like this sooner?"

"It made me think that I would have to face the malice of more than a dozen races all by myself from now on."

Upon hearing this news, Rick instantly relaxed, lying back on the grass with his hands behind his head, looking at Mara with considerable curiosity: "By the way, what was your original world like?"

"..."

"It used to be worse than this."

"Worse than the war for the Star Cup?"

"Yes"

Upon hearing this, Rick raised his voice, which puzzled Shubi and Chloe, who were secretly observing from behind a tree.

He found it unbelievable; he couldn't imagine that something worse than a war that had lasted for tens of thousands of years could be such a terrible environment.

but…

Rick thought that perhaps only such an environment could give birth to a being as powerful as Mara.

Mara's gaze fell upon the black giant ape in the forest that had helped humanity so much.

It was Mara's purpose in coming to this world, and by killing it, Mara could immediately return with this universe.

However, given that it had helped humanity in the world for more than a decade, Mara did not intend to kill it immediately, but instead tried to think of other ways.

If all else fails, Mara will have no choice but to discard the monkey after it has served its purpose. If he were to take the entire universe back with him without going through the control panel, it would take an unknown amount of time.

After careful consideration, He made his own attempt.

He gently raised his hand, using the omnipotent authority granted to Him by the Star Cup, causing an invisible wave to envelop Vajra, swiftly rewriting its identity as an alien being.

In short, Mara used the Star Cup to give King Kong a local monkey registration, freeing him from his unregistered status, and thus, the entire universe officially accepted him.

Once all this was done, King Kong, who was fast asleep under the tree, remained completely unaware of what was happening.

With Kongo officially settling in Gensokyo, a line of text appeared before Mara's eyes.

[Mission to defeat the monster Kong failed]

"..."

As Mara had predicted, those on the purge list were most likely victims of a sudden time travel, losing their local residency, which led to their current predicament.

Once they obtain local residency, there will be no need to hunt them down anymore.

"Mara?"

Rick suddenly noticed that Mara's figure was vanishing like a bubble, as if he were leaving.

Mara did not answer. He held the Star Cup in his hands, unleashing its full power. He distorted everything around him and, at a speed exceeding the speed of light, pulled everything back into the Star Cup.

Mara's vision dimmed as everything rapidly disappeared into the Star Cup. In the process, spacetime was distorted to a terrifying degree, and all the dragon spirits were driven out of the spacetime dimension, falling into the wilderness, their faces filled with bewilderment.

In just a moment, the entire universe was contained within the Star Cup, and Mara, along with it, vanished into nothingness.

...

Around 8000 BC, on Earth, at Mount Tai.

Within the Pandora's Realm, Longbo slowly opened the four eyes on his mask. He sensed that a part of himself that had separated more than a decade ago was returning.

The next second, strands of energy appeared out of thin air, carrying an irregular, dazzling crystal that floated before Long Bo's eyes and disappeared into his towering body.

A dazzling light burst forth, instantly filling the entire Pandora realm, piercing through and illuminating the Earth. It then illuminated the entire universe at a speed far exceeding the speed of light, and all civilizations sensed the anomaly.

The entire universe began to resonate, the stars twinkled, and an invisible storm of power illuminated the starry sky. Whispers arose and instantly pierced through the entire universe, calming the storm left over from the war in heaven.

People clearly sensed that something was undergoing an ascension, that some being had finally taken the last step, and that the level of life had achieved a final leap.

They leap from an extremely powerful life form within the universe to an unknown being that transcends the universe, possesses a status that surpasses the ordinary, and whose size rivals that of the entire universe.

The cosmos twinkles like fireflies, countless stars radiate their reluctant light, and the voices of the stars offer words of celebration to their beloved offspring in a unique way.

...

In the Land of Light, the homeland of the Ultra Warriors, everyone who witnessed this scene became extremely panicked, recalling unpleasant memories from tens of thousands of years ago.

Zoffy felt the joy and congratulations that kept ringing out from the Star Voice, and instantly understood what had happened.

After figuring out what had happened, Zoffy quickly calmed down and rushed to the Space Garrison to issue a notice and reassure the people of the Land of Light who were alarmed by the commotion.

After all, this kind of light covering the entire universe is not the first time it has happened in this universe; there was a similar event tens of thousands of years ago.

The people of the Land of Light call it the Plasma Spark Incident, which directly led to the super evolution of everyone, but many people did not survive it.

Not only that, it also caused many aliens and monsters throughout the universe to mutate, with the plasma monsters originating from that event.

That is why the people of the Land of Light reacted so strongly when they saw this commotion.

"..."

On a planet extremely far from Earth, the burly red planet observer turned to look at the other side of the universe and suddenly realized something.

"Did you make that noise, Uncle Long?"

He clearly remembered that Longbo had told him that he would soon undergo an ascension, completely breaking away from the physical universe and "ascending" to that other-dimensional space.

But he never expected that this day would come so soon, instead of some day thousands or tens of thousands of years later.

Gao Lian turned to look in the direction of Earth, as if making eye contact with something, and nodded slightly. "I am happy for you, my friend."

...

Planet O-50, the pinnacle of warriors.

A beam of light emanating from the earth swept over the man struggling to climb the mountain, but he paid no heed, continuing his ascent with all his might, his sweat-soaked eyes fixed on the ever-expanding torch at the summit.

Right in front of the torch, a middle-aged man with a fierce face crossed his arms and glanced casually down the mountain, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

In front of him, an honest and simple middle-aged man was drawn to the light and subconsciously shifted his gaze from the man below the mountain to the source of the light.

The familiar scene made him uneasy. He stood up, turned to the old man standing before the torch, and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, something seems to have happened in the universe. Should we go and take a look?"

The old man, known as the King, kept his gaze fixed on the ever-rising torch before him. A soft sigh flashed in his eyes, but he still managed to reply to the middle-aged man: "It's alright, he's a sensible boy, nothing will happen to him."

Just then, a hand reached out from the foot of the mountain and gripped the rock face tightly. The young man climbed up with difficulty, which relieved the middle-aged man who had his arms crossed.

The torchlight rose, and rays of light fell into the young man's body.

The old man in the long robe smiled and raised his hand, separating a ray of light from the fierce-looking middle-aged man and letting it enter the young man's body, enabling him to complete his super evolution.

A red and silver giant swelled in the light, standing atop the mountain, appearing before the eyes of all residents of O50. The first person to receive the Star Torch Light super evolution appeared.

The fierce-looking middle-aged man looked up at the giant who was exactly the same as him except for the timer. The worry that had been building up in his eyes finally dissipated, replaced by an unyielding joy.

When the light faded, the old man slowly turned around and quietly looked at the light that constantly shone on the earth.

...

As Longbo gradually ascended to higher levels, he came to his senses, stepped out of Pandora's Magic Realm, and returned to the skies above Earth.

He gazed at this familiar world, smelled its scent, and memories from his birth played out in his mind.

Here, He saw the atomic Titans deep within the Earth's core, reborn by merging with plants in the forest.

He saw the Earth's consciousness, which had fallen into slumber due to the creation of more Titans.

They saw the fragile seal connecting the Earth's surface to another dark world.

I saw the bewildered looks on the faces of millions of living beings at this moment.

Longbo closed his eyes, facing the awe-inspiring gazes of all beings. His soul left his body, and he raised his hand to carry the giant and the wartdog associated with him, flying towards the edge of the sun.

His body lay horizontally in the sky above the earth, slowly disintegrating and transforming into the purest energy that entered the earth, dissolving into mountains and rivers, until it could no longer contain any more energy and gradually spread towards the stars, flowing back into the universe.

"..."

With a whisper, the edge of the solar system was torn open once again, creating a rift to another dimension. The massive solar system lay still beneath it, like a giant ship adrift on the sea, its eerie light filling the world.

Extradimensional energy surges at the edge, yet it cannot penetrate the fragile membrane and enter the material universe.

Longbo plunged straight into what seemed like an infinite dimensional rift, merging with the essence of chaos. Amidst the celebratory whispers of the entire universe, he ascended in a single step.

In an instant, an invisible storm of power spread through the other dimension, stirring up a galaxy-sized monstrous wave that swept across time and space, announcing its arrival.

This sudden intrusion caused many evil creatures, monsters, and races that already inhabited the other-dimensional space to tremble with fear. They were horrified that a master had been born here and fell silent in intense unease.

The Yapool race, gazing at the god gradually taking shape in the other dimension, felt a strong sense of unease. Without the slightest hesitation, they fled the other dimension with all their belongings, and many other races followed suit.

The new god ignored them and no longer paid attention to their actions. His writhing essence contracted, and he once again returned to his original form in the other dimension.

The new god ignored them and no longer paid attention to their actions. His writhing essence contracted, and he once again returned to his original form in the other dimension.

His appearance was no different from before, he was covered in heavy bone armor, his body was huge and his body almost filled the entire other dimension, his size was comparable to the universe itself.

The giants and wart dogs that ascended along with Him also evolved in sync, their forms rapidly rewritten, their power essence transformed into chaos, and they became highly bound to Lombard, with fragments of Lombard's laws and power coursing through their blood.

The derivative giants are also tall, with chaotic power surging around them, enough to rival the real Ultra Warriors.

They and the Wartdogs are like demons from the Sea of ​​Souls. Even if they are killed in the physical universe, they are only banished back to another dimension. Because they are highly bound to Lombard, they will not truly die.

When the giant waves subsided, Longbo stood firmly in the other-dimensional space, his gaze easily extending to the end of the other-dimensional space. Every move he made could stir up towering waves, and a single thought could unleash an astonishing storm.

The Star Cup leaped and spun in His palm. The omnipotent laws freed Longbo from the constraints of the physical universe, allowing Him to return to the physical universe at will.

However, without self-restraint, Longbo's current enormous size is enough to bring this universe to its end prematurely.

Longbo would not do that, but He needs the energy to freely travel to and from the physical universe.

[Name: Long Bo (Lord of Another Dimension)]

Race: God (Otherworldly Evil God, Arcane Ruler, God of Space-Time)

Height: 0～∞

Weight: 0～∞

Special Abilities:

① Extradimensional power

②Right to Life

③ Authority of Revenge

④ Voice of a Star

略…

...

[Other: Star Cup, Spear of Destiny]

"The leap forward exceeded my expectations."

Longbo muttered to himself, if He hadn't obtained the Star Cup, He might have become the strongest being in the other dimension after ascending, occupying a large area of ​​the other dimension and scaring away a large number of races.

But at this moment, the entire alternate dimension belongs to Him, and there is no one who can rival Him.

At this moment, Longbo has become the master of the entire alternate dimension, able to mobilize everything here and possessing the highest authority.

Although it's unknown how this other dimension compares to the Sea of ​​Souls next door, Longbo's situation is much better than the four peddlers'. He is the controller of the other dimension and possesses the highest authority.

He can enter the physical universe without being restricted, and if he is not afraid of the physical universe exploding, he can also use his full power.

There's absolutely nothing in common between them and that guy next door who claims to have destroyed countless universes in the Sea of ​​Souls, creating and destroying worlds with a flick of his wrist, and then causing galaxy-level events in the physical universe, all depending on the energy concentration in the Sea of ​​Souls, and who can be killed by mortals driving tanks if he's not careful.

An invisible force extended with Longbo's will, and a garden materialized out of thin air in another dimension. Then, he cast Pandora's Realm into the spacetime realm, drawing upon the power of spacetime to expand rapidly.

In addition to the extradimensional space, Longbo also possesses the same level in the spacetime realm, capable of easily disrupting and manipulating the power of spacetime to achieve the effects he desires.
