Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

Chapter 196 The Era of Great Involution

On the North American continent, armored tracks rolled over broken walls and ruins in this scorched earth filled with ravines and gullies. Planetary Defense Force infantrymen in protective suits, armed with flamethrowers, roamed the scorched earth, eliminating the physical forms of evil.

According to information obtained by the United Human Government from aliens, these kinds of evil god followers all carry mental pollution that is enough to distort living beings.

If we don't want the corpses of these evil gods' followers to cause great disaster on Earth, then let the soldiers who came into contact with them use fire to disinfect them, and then isolate the soldiers who participated in these events.

Whether to imprison them until death or to physically eliminate them depends on how the civilization itself judges the situation based on its values.

Upon learning of this information, the high-ranking officials of the United Human Government decided to first have the soldiers clear the continent, and to make further plans after Enpat's return.

They felt that, based on their experience over the past few decades, the Ultra Warriors all possessed some kind of magical ability, so the so-called pollution shouldn't be a big problem.

Moreover, since the war has progressed to this point, they have not received any reports of mental pollution, so they have not rashly believed the words of those alien prisoners and taken any irrational actions.

As beams of light rose over North America, Titans appeared without warning on the continent, sending shivers down the spines of the soldiers clearing the wreckage.

People froze in place, instinctively looking up at the massive shadow that enveloped them and the armored group. The towering figure, the thick skin and scales like those of a warship, made them feel an immense pressure.

As the giant Tai lowered its head and gazed at these tiny humans, its huge pupils gleamed slightly, revealing an unreadable thought, which made the people feel extremely apprehensive.

Many Titans even lowered their heads, bringing their nostrils, large enough to fit a person, close to the humans, sniffing these seemingly tiny creatures up close.

This action caused great unease among the people, and various weapons were pointed at the Titans. Even so, their communication channels continued to ring with orders from their superiors not to fire.

This eerie gaze lasted only a few seconds. The Titans ultimately did not launch an attack. Perhaps in their view, the humans who stood up to fight alongside the Titans against the alien creatures on this continent had already earned their approval, and there was no need to have a conflict with them.

After a long time, the Titans lost interest in humanity and began to wander or roam the continent, heading towards the direction of their former enemies, as they sensed it.

Now that the war has ended and the enemies remain on this continent, this is the best time to settle the hatred between them.

In an instant, the Titans across the entire continent sprang into action, preparing for a second war against their old enemies.

But just before this conflict occurred, the most powerful Alpha let out an extremely deep roar, instantly causing the Titans scattered across the continent to stop their movements.

The roar originating from Godzilla instantly calmed the Titans down. They realized that with their lifespans, they would have plenty of opportunities to take revenge in the future, and could let their enemy live a little longer.

In an instant, the entire continent resounded with the Titans' responses to the King, as well as various messages sent to their enemies, the gist of which was: "You're lucky to have survived."

Then the Titans left one after another, leaving the cleanup of the continent to humankind.

However, there are exceptions. In a canyon area on the mainland, a tense standoff is underway.

The nine-headed Titan coiled its body, back to the light like a mountain range, its nine dragon-like, space serpent-like heads swaying in the sunlight, casting winding shadows.

A tentacle-like, meandering shadow fell upon a small human squad, leaving them frozen in place, their pupils dilated in shock, and cold sweat soaking their filthy uniforms.

They never imagined they would be so unlucky as to collide head-on with Titans, a phenomenon that has occurred many times throughout human history.

Although it was once considered by humans to be the weakest Titan, this claim has been dispelled ever since the live stream of it tearing apart aliens circulated on the human internet.

At this moment, the brutal Xiang Liu stood before them, poised to attack, which filled the human team with extreme fear.

But what the terrified people didn't notice was that the nine-headed Titan's serpentine eyes, which were barely visible in the sunlight, were also trembling slightly, revealing a hint of fear.

An absurd standoff continued, with neither the humans nor the Titans sensing any fear from the other.

This absurd standoff finally came to an end with the arrival of the red giant.

In the center of the continent, Godzilla slowly crouched down, closing its eyes on this lifeless land, its three-hundred-meter-tall body resembling a rugged mountain peak.

Invisible radiation emanates from its body, sweeping across the entire continent like waves, awakening the plant seeds dormant beneath the surface, restoring greenery to the land, and causing them to grow at a visible rate.

The radiation waves spread to other continents, attracting schools of fish and migratory birds to this continent.

Alpha, also known as the Snow Demon, sensed the radiation and, after understanding Godzilla's intentions, changed course and headed towards the strait connecting to Asia, intending to freeze it and allow new inhabitants to migrate there.

".."

The battle had come to a complete end, and people all over the world cheered, expressing their gratitude to the people who fought so hard and to the great god.

This is the thirteenth cataclysmic crisis that humanity has faced and successfully overcome since the beginning of the 20th century. As always, humanity celebrated, but after a day of revelry, people returned to their work.

This is one of the reasons why they have been able to survive and continue to progress in this disaster-ridden world; they never lose their way or their faith because of disasters.

Instead, they quickly rejoined the ranks of reconstruction and relief efforts, providing warm assistance to the affected people and helping them return to their former lives as soon as possible.

This positive, warm, and caring love is also the reason why the human race has been favored by extraterrestrial visitors from the M78 Nebula, who have protected the human race for decades.

They firmly believe that humanity, united and friendly, capable of offering help to strangers in times of crisis, is poised to create miracles and possess an limitless future.

While the human race was cleaning up the mess, the Ultra Warriors, now in another universe, were also doing their work.

Although this universe was merely used as a hiding place by the Lord of the Abyss and was not particularly active, the surrounding star systems were still significantly polluted, with the planet where it was located at its core.

The darkness originating from the Lord of the Abyss continues to corrupt many monsters and creatures on numerous planets, turning them into monsters similar to Golza and Melba.

Their carapaces or skin are corroded and pitted, which, while not capable of secondary pollution, still makes them brutal, and even the warriors of the Land of Light find them somewhat troublesome.

Under these circumstances, even though Gorian and Zoffy both threw themselves into the battle, it was still a drop in the ocean compared to the sheer number of planets.

"We don't have enough manpower. It would take a long time for hundreds of warriors to deal with these planets." Zoffy was somewhat troubled by this situation.

Given the star system they are currently in, the number of planets that need to be cleared is enough to assign each warrior a dozen or so planets, but this would undoubtedly put them in an extremely dangerous situation.

Therefore, Zoffy's strategy was to have a dozen or so people clear a planet, while the rest of the group would be scattered on nearby planets. This way, if an accident occurred, they could quickly go to provide support and reduce casualties.

In response, Seven used his Ultra Telekinesis to retract his head-mounted boomerang and replied breathlessly, "There's nothing we can do. We could only spare this much manpower at the time, and now we're in a distant universe, so we can't ask the Land of Light for help."

Freya chimed in meaningfully, "Perhaps we could ask Longbo to send another batch of warriors, or open a stable passage connecting here to our universe."

"In this way, we can also cleanse the evil forces in this universe as soon as possible and allow the people here to return to their original lives."

His voice trailed off, causing Zoffy and Seven to exchange glances before nodding. "At this point, if we want to quickly cleanse this place of darkness, this is the only way."

"Go find Gao Lian; he has a way to cross the gaps in the universe and contact Long Bo."

After saying that, Zoffy turned his gaze back to Freya, waiting for his next move.

In response, Freya calmly replied, "I have already contacted them."

""

Seven was stunned by what he heard, and subconsciously asked, "When did this happen?"

"When I made that suggestion to you."

Zoffy laughed upon hearing this, "Freya, your brain is still as sharp as ever, and you've thought things through even more thoroughly."

"Truly worthy of being the staff officer of the Space Garrison."

""

In the alternate dimension, Longbo, who was originally cleaning up the darkness of the universe, looked thoughtfully at the projection of the muscular giant beside him, "Not enough manpower?"

With his arms crossed, Gao Lian sat atop a mountain piled high with monsters and nodded vigorously: "We hope you can send more guards into this universe to help us finish the cleanup here."

Gao Lian explained that although the monsters in this universe are not very strong, there is no restraining force like the Land of Light, which has led to their astonishing numbers.

To defeat these monsters, we need a large number of warriors, as well as doctors from the Silver Cross Army.

Upon hearing this, Longbo fell into thought, but his work didn't stop. He posed a question to Gao Lian: "What's Zoffy doing? Where's his Star Voice?"

Zoffy, with his Distant Voice, is more than capable of summoning the light of planets throughout the universe, making him the undisputed number one in strength after Ryubo.

Having received all the light in the universe, he is almost as powerful as the entire universe, so why is he being stumped by the monsters on these planets?

On the projection, Gao Lian scratched his head and replied, seemingly understanding, "Zoffy also tried using the Voice of the Stars, but the planets here didn't respond at all."

"We don't know whether it's due to a mismatch in the universe itself, or whether the darkness here is blocking out the sounds emitted by the planets themselves."

"Such a thing exists?"

Upon hearing this, Longbo felt something was strange, but he had never actually been to that universe.

As He was about to arrive, He saw the Lord of the Abyss fleeing, so He left the passage and gave chase with the golden ship.

He had never been to that universe and did not have a deep understanding of its underlying logic.

"Does 'Voices of a Distant Star' not resonate in other universes?"

This question made Longbo think, since he had never used the Voice of the Stars in other universes when he used it frequently before.

And now that He has no need for the power of the Star Voice, He really doesn't know about this matter.

In a flash, Longbo finished his thought, looked at Gao Lai'an again, and asked, "Alright, who do you want to go to that universe?"

The Ultra Warriors' task of cleaning up the universe was, to some extent, related to him, and Longbo naturally had no intention of sitting idly by while they slowly cleaned it up.

So they readily agreed to their request.

"Geed, Mebius, and Jack, plus a few hundred thousand more security personnel, that should be about right."

"How many?"

Even Longbo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and even doubted whether he had heard it correctly.

"Hundreds of thousands of security personnel."

".."

This answer silenced Longbo once again. The hundreds of thousands of Space Guard members of the Land of Light in this era were more than enough to cut their way from Earth to the ends of the universe.

If Belial had proposed this, Lombre might have even suspected that he wanted to attack the entire universe.

But Longbo did not refuse. He nodded, then raised his hand and separated strands of light from his fingertips, unfolding a scene of a corner of the universe before his eyes.

In the scene, a warrior who looks exactly like Belial is leading three Ultra Warriors to maintain order in the universe and imparting his experience.

That was Geed, and the young warrior who received the light of the Star Torch after ten thousand years and completed his super evolution. The three siblings from an unknown planet in the universe climbed to the pinnacle of warriors and received the light of the Star Torch to complete their super evolution.

Following the words left by Longbo when he founded the company, Star Torch gave them a nice newbie gift pack and recalled Geed, who was on patrol, overnight.

Let him act as a mentor to these three siblings, guiding them through novice missions until they can stand on their own. Only then will they be considered to have finished their novice period and become official warriors, maintaining peace in the universe.

A massive scene unfolded before the four of them: a god of imposing stature, seemingly traversing multiple dimensions of reality, other dimensions, and time and space, appeared before them, leaving them instinctively stunned.

As aliens, they naturally knew who this was. Beside them, Geed was stunned for a moment, then noticed Gorean next to Lonbo.

"Senior Longbo, Senior Gao Lai'an!"

"senior?"

Jade's shout caused a subtle change in the eyes of the three siblings who were following him and studying.

Out of the corner of his eye, Jiede noticed the gazes of his three juniors. Suppressing his excitement, he explained, "Senior Longbo is the creator of the Star Torch. The light that fuels our battle is what He left there."

"It is because of His compassion for the safety of the universe and His selfless actions that we are able to fight with this powerful light in this universe."

Geed learned about this from his seniors when he went to the Land of Light.

The three siblings were shocked to hear this. They had never imagined that the light of the star torch was left behind by the cosmically renowned embodiment of balance.

"This kid's got a bit too much of an idol filter on him—"

Longbo pondered that although what Jiede said was largely true, he did not believe that he was so selfless.

But Longbo didn't think for long. He simply gestured to the projection of Gao Lai'an beside him, asking him to explain everything. He was too lazy to explain so much.

He gazed at the three siblings, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He pondered that their strength was only average, and they were still a long way from being able to stand on their own.

"Perhaps, this time we can let them participate as well, train them, and raise their strength by several levels." Long Bo thought, improving their combat power as soon as possible, so that they might be able to play a certain role when the plan is actually implemented.

Goreian nodded, then explained to Geed what was happening in another universe, asking him to go to the Land of Light to find Ken and Belial and to transfer guards.

"Go to another universe to fight!" Geed nodded heavily upon hearing this, and then said, "Okay, I'll go back to the Land of Light now and have Uncle Ken prepare."

As soon as he finished speaking, Geed opened a time portal, preparing to take the three back and leave them in the Land of Light during the mission to learn other knowledge.

However, just as he was about to enter, Longbo's voice came from the mirror behind him: "Bring the three of them along as well. Battles of this scale are rare, and this is a great training ground."

Geed was taken aback by what he heard, but remembering that the Silver Cross Army and Captain Zoffy were there, there wouldn't be any problems. He then nodded, "I understand, senior!"

"We will definitely do our best!" The three siblings were also excited when they heard this. At this moment, they realized that this was a rare opportunity, thanks to the cultivation they received from the founder of Star Torch.

As the three entered the passage, the mirror before Longbo flickered and changed. Beside him, Gao Lai'an crossed his arms and asked with considerable curiosity, "Those are warriors Startor has been training in recent years, right? So young, is it really appropriate for them to join this kind of event?"

Gorean naturally knew about Star Torch, and also knew that Geed, who had close ties with the Land of Light, had completed his super evolution there and had been fighting on various planets for ten thousand years.

Now, Star Torch has trained new warriors after ten thousand years, and the entire Land of Light is watching them closely.

Longbo remained unmoved, his fingertips subtly swirling to switch the scene to another planet, and replied, "With you and Zoffy, and the Silver Cross, what is there to fear?"

Longbo felt that there was nothing wrong with his approach. He believed that the conditions he had Xingju provided for his warriors were quite good, including beginner equipment, a training period for beginners, and regular holidays.

From any perspective, Xingju's conditions are impeccable, so this kind of hardship is nothing.

Moreover, the Star Torch created by Longbo at least prevented the three siblings from engaging in a passionate clash with an out-of-control rainbow dragon during their beginner phase, which is already quite good.

"Is that so?" Gao Lai'an nodded thoughtfully, not continuing the topic.

"Gorlian, I have a preliminary idea." Longbo lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Gaolian. "I want to use the power of the Land of Light and the parallel universes to purify a universe."

"With our help?"

Gao Lai'an was stunned upon hearing this. He had discerned the hidden message in Long Bo's words and asked incredulously, "What kind of universe is it that even you are not confident in purifying?"

Longbo pondered for a moment, then replied, "There are four, no, perhaps five, chaotic gods who are a level stronger than me."

""

Gao Lai'an remained silent for a long while before replying in a low voice, "A chaotic god a level stronger than you? Could it be an existence comparable to a king?"

In Gao Lai'an's imagination, if there is anything that is a level above Longbo, then the King of Ultra is the most direct reference.

However, Longbo shook his head at this, "I don't know, this is just a rough idea."

"I'm not sure if I'll have the opportunity to go there in the future; I'm just preparing for that possibility."

Longbo truly didn't know if he would have the chance to get there; he was simply trying to inflate the warriors' strength by following the goal of "potentially going there."

Furthermore, Longbo couldn't confirm whether the Four Gods and the King of Ultra were on the same level, as he had never witnessed the true power of either of them.

After a long silence, Gao Lai'an came to his senses and replied to Long Bo, "If the place you mentioned really exists, I believe our Kingdom of Light will do everything in its power to help you."

This is not only the Land of Light's salvation of desperate lives, but also Lungbo's repeated salvation of the Land of Light's warriors.

And the rewards from other civilizations.

Although Longbo never cared, no one could deny that He had saved many warriors, whether intentionally or unintentionally, but the Land of Light had never repaid Him even once.

Therefore, if Longbo speaks up, the Land of Light will do everything in its power, even if it means paying any price, as long as it doesn't go against the Land of Light's wishes.

As the scene shifts again, a completely new landscape comes into view: a planet that Ryubo visited ten thousand years ago, the place where Belial's fate took a turn.

Ten thousand years ago, Belial was killed here by Ryubo. It was Riku who redeemed him and allowed him to completely transform back into the powerful and fearless Ultra Warrior.

However, at this moment, the scene displayed on the mirror has a particularly bizarre style.

"Don't run, Zero! Charge straight at that jeep!!"

In the scene, Belial, now a middle-aged man, drives a jeep with the MAC logo straight toward the young boy, completely ignoring the boy's terrified and desperate expression.

Beside the jeep, an old man wearing a straw hat and black clothes stood watching the scene, his expression completely hidden beneath the hat.

Without a doubt, this was Beria training the unruly Zero in a jeep.

As for the man standing to the side, wearing a straw hat—

"Leo?" Gao Lian whispered.

Why is Leo here?

Longbo didn't speak, but just watched the scene quietly. After thinking for a moment, he recorded the scene.

He thought it would be interesting to send this image to Belial and Zero, who were still locked in a love-hate relationship, if he encountered them in the future.

The mirror-like surface that unfolded in the sky also attracted the attention of the two trainees and the audience.

"That's—" Belial used the momentum to stop the jeep, pulled the handbrake, and then whispered, "London and Gao Leian?"

Ahead of him, young Zero saw the jeep stop and collapsed helplessly to the ground, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.

Leo looked up at the mirror-like surface of the sky, where he saw two different figures. He was slightly taken aback at first, then took off his hat, smiled, and nodded.

Belial opened the car door, stepped out, crossed his arms, and adopted an arrogant demeanor: "Gorian, weren't you fighting in another universe?"

"Why would you have time to hang out with that guy Longbo?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Lai'an glanced at the rather historic jeep, recalling certain rumors, and felt somewhat speechless: "This car seems to be the one Seven used to train Leo, right? Why is it here?"

"Why would you use it to train Zero?"

"Could it be Seven who gave it to you? Or perhaps—" As he spoke, Gao Lian's gaze shifted to Leo, and he asked suspiciously, "Could it be—"

Leo looked up, his expression serious, and shook his head, saying, "I didn't give it to you."

"I only heard about this in the Land of Light and was worried that Belial might go too far, so I came here to check it out."

Leo said that as a victim of the Jeep accident and as someone who had been caught in the rain, he wanted to come here to hold an umbrella for Zero.

However, Zero, who had been lying on the ground, struggled to his feet, looking disheveled, and complained, "But you didn't stop Belial from running me over with his car!!"

"Because this method really works." Leo glanced at Zero and replied casually, "I've undergone this training before, and I know it works."

Upon hearing this, Zero loudly retorted, "But the brakes on this car are broken by this time of year!!"

However, the next second, he received a response that caught them off guard: "No, the brakes on this car were broken from the beginning, and the group never fixed them."

As the victim, Leo has the right to speak.

Zero: "—"

However, Belial's untimely laughter rang out, "Be content, Zero, your strength has increased quite a bit, and this car deserves a lot of credit for that."

Zero was stunned by what he heard, then muttered to himself, "Have I—become stronger too?"

"Of course!" Belial put his arm around Zero's shoulder and said confidently, "You're my disciple, so naturally you'll become much stronger!"

After being trained by Belial's fists and jeep, Zero has shed those extreme thoughts and behaviors and is fully capable of becoming a qualified warrior.

But the reason he stayed here was because Belial wanted to teach Zero all his martial arts skills, just like his son Geed.

Longbo clearly recorded and archived this scene, then gestured to Gao Lai'an beside him to project the serious matter.

"Belial, Zoffy and I might need your help, so you should stop your training."

Following that, Gao Lai'an described the situation on the other side in detail, explaining why combat power was needed.

Belial waved his hand, "Is this something that I need to get involved in? In that case, I'll go out and do it."

However, next to him, Zero, looking disheveled, widened his eyes and said speechlessly, "Stop bragging. Captain Zoffy is much stronger than you, and Senior Gao Lean's strength is no less than yours."

Zero's words didn't anger Belial. Instead, Belial gave him a thoughtful look, then turned to Gao Lean and said meaningfully, "Could we bring this kid along too?"

Upon hearing this, Zero was taken aback at first, then his face was filled with hope as he frantically blinked at Gao Lean.

"..."

After a moment's thought, Gao Lian agreed to the idea. Since the three new members of Star Torch had already joined, it wouldn't make a difference if Zero was brought along as well.

"Yes, but he must obey orders."

"Beria, you're in charge of keeping an eye on him and making sure he doesn't do anything reckless."

Upon hearing this, Belial's expression changed instantly. He released his hand from Zero's shoulder and said, "Then let's leave him here. I can't afford to worry about him when I'm fighting."

"??"

Zero's eyes widened upon hearing this, but Leo's next words calmed him down again.

"In that case, I'll go too." Leo leaped to their side and said, "Let me keep an eye on Zero."

Zero breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He now truly believed that Leo had come here because he was worried about him.

Leo gazed at Zero's naive and innocent face, a flawless smile spreading across his face: "Coincidentally, the King asked me to bring Zero a suit of armor—"

"Armor?" The group was puzzled.

But Longbo, who had remained silent, seemed to be deep in thought. Even if it was Zero from this universe, would the King of Ultra still put him in training armor?

For the first time, Longbo felt that the King of Ultra was quite generous in his favors, not only making Geed in this universe almost exactly look like Belial, but also having Leo bring Zero the training armor to wear.

5

In the alternate dimension, under the watchful gaze of Gao Lai'an, Longbo turned his gaze toward Earth.

His eyes flickered slightly, and there he reopened the passage connecting to the other universe, and casually connected a section of the transdimensional spaceway that spanned the galaxy to it.

"Now you can directly open the hyperspace passage, enter the transit node on Earth, and go to that universe through there. But remember not to mess with the spacetime barrier, or you will be thrown out."

Whether or not it can be found depends entirely on fate.

Longbo explained all the precautions to Gaolian and Belial on the other side of the mirror, then closed the mirror and resumed his repair work.

"Thank you so much, Longbo." Gaolian stood up and flew towards another planet. "If you find that place, please contact me. Our Land of Light will do everything in our power to help you!"

After leaving those words, Gao Lian severed the connection and threw himself back into the battle.

The continent deep within the garden returned to peace, until the notification sound rang out again after ten thousand years.

You have a new request, please confirm it as soon as possible.

[Description: Extermination of the Mefilas Aliens]

[Reward: Attribute Points *1]

"Attribute points—"

Longbo remained silent upon receiving the long-awaited notification, and the fact that the attribute point was now useless left him speechless.
