Starting from the destruction of the Land of Light

Like a leaf in a storm, Watcher One struggled through the deadly firestorm unleashed by Lava Barton.

Veins bulged on Wang Kui's forehead, and sweat soaked his flight helmet. He gripped the control stick tightly, pushing the fighter jet's performance to its limit. Every evasive maneuver was extremely dangerous, and the fuselage was heated red by the scorching air currents, groaning under the strain.

"Damn it, is this guy insane?!" Wang Kui roared as another lava fireball grazed the wing, the intense heat causing the alarm in the cabin to scream wildly.

Barton's menacing lava maw opened again, dark red energy gathering wildly in its throat, aimed at Watcher One, which was struggling to climb and escape.

"Captain Wang! Left!" Chu Huai's voice was urgent from the back seat. His eyes were fixed on the rapidly approaching Barton energy reading on the screen, filled with anxiety.

Having narrowly escaped the terrifying flames once again, Chu Huai, sitting in the rear cabin, suddenly pulled out the "pen" he cherished as his life from his pocket. Under the red light of the alarm, the pen's surface shimmered with a strange metallic luster and fine red patterns.

"Captain Wang, this can't go on," Chu Huai's voice was unusually calm, yet carried a resolute determination. "I'll go!"

"Wh-what? Chu Huai, don't get agitated! Don't go!" Wang Kui turned around abruptly, saw what Chu Huai was holding and the burning light in his eyes, and instantly understood his intention.

However, Chu Huai did not give him time to stop it!

"Aegis—!"

A shout filled with all faith and will resounded in the narrow cockpit of the fighter jet.

hum! !

An indescribable, dazzling radiance, seemingly originating from the very core of life, erupted without warning from the 'pen' in Chu Huai's hand and from within his body, instantly engulfing the entire rear cabin of Watcher One.

"Chu Huai!" Wang Kui only had time to shout before his eyes were temporarily blinded by the bright light.

next moment!

Boom!

A massive, blood-red pillar of light, carrying an astonishing aura, exploded out of thin air from behind Watcher One, instantly surpassing the speed of the fighter jet. Like a meteorite crashing into the earth, it ruthlessly shattered the deadly stream of lava fire that Barton had just spewed out.

The beam of light did not pause at all, its momentum undiminished, and it slammed hard and solidly into the massive body of Lava Barton.

Boom-! ! !

A deafening roar, so deep it sounded like two mountains colliding.

The volcanic monster bird Barton was staggered by the sudden, violent impact, its massive body tilting backward, its giant claws burning with lava carving deep trenches in the rocky ground.

The light dimmed.

Ultraman Aegis's familiar crimson body slammed heavily onto Barton with an unprecedented impact, imbued with rage and a protective will.

His thick arms clamped tightly around Barton's neck and the base of his lava wings, pinning his massive body firmly to the shattered earth.

"Roar—!!!" Barton let out a silent roar of shock and rage, struggling violently as lava churned.

Meanwhile, Eggers' milky-white eyes burned with a rage more intense than ever before. He stared intently at the ferocious beast beneath him, his mind focused on only one thought—protect Wang Kui, protect everything behind him, and never let it harm anyone again.

On the low peak, Zhang Chen, who witnessed this shocking scene, narrowed his eyes slightly.

He clearly sensed the familiar energy fluctuations belonging to Aegis in the [Radiance] in his arms. He took it out and saw that the two beams of light on it began to flicker.

On the left is a dark purple light, about 30% of which represents the energy of the monsters he has absorbed during this period. Once the energy reaches its maximum, he will be able to summon another monster for his own use, but the type of monster summoned must be synchronized with this energy.

In other words, only monsters whose energy has been absorbed can be among the selectable types.

On the right, there was a golden light, but this light was only 10% of the total energy. This was the energy that Zhang Chen absorbed from Ultraman during the battle between Ultraman and the monster.

Since Eggers and Phyllis were neither killed nor seriously injured, the energy bar has only reached one-tenth of its full capacity after such a long time. Zhang Chen is unsure what will happen once the energy bar is full.

Luo Xi, who was standing next to Zhang Chen, also noticed the square box in his hand, but her expression did not change, obviously this was not the first time she had seen this thing.

Compared to the square box, her attention was more focused on the two enormous creatures fighting not far away.

"Barton, the volcanic monster, is a carnivorous monster born in ancient Earth. Its fighting prowess is among the best in the universe..."

Yes, the volcano monster Barton is one of the most powerful monsters native to Earth.

Zhang Chen was well aware of how powerful his opponent was. After all, this was the one who created the famous scenes of Taro's death and Captain Flame Head. Even the Ultra Brothers could be defeated by it. Ordinary beings were no match for it.

Speaking of which, Zhang Chen had also investigated the relationship between the Ultra Brothers and Earth in this world.

The Ultra Brothers have visited this Earth one after another. From the original Ultraman to Seven, and then to Ace, Taro, Leo and other Ultramen, they have all come. According to the current information, the last Ultraman to visit Earth was Ultraman Ace.

Since then, humanity has received information about the Land of Light again, namely the news of its destruction, which was revealed by the person who inherited Ultraman's light.

This means that Ultraman Mebius in Zhang Chen's memory did not come to Earth, nor did Ultraman Hikari.

Zhang Chen once asked Luo Xi to help investigate the power of the earth and the power of the ocean in order to find traces of Gaia and Agul. Unfortunately, he found nothing in the end, and there was also no news about some of the new generation of Ultraman.

Zhang Chen desperately wanted to go to the Warrior's Peak on Planet O-50 to find Orb's power, but unfortunately, he currently lacked the ability to travel long distances, and he couldn't be sure if Orb even existed in that world.

After all, there are too many Ultraman worlds, and whether those new generation Ultraman exist here is still a mystery. Moreover, compared to them, the current Earth is the key.

Just as Zhang Chen was pondering, a heart-wrenching groan suddenly came from afar.

Looking up abruptly, he saw the volcanic bird Barton brazenly withstanding Eggers' fist, its sharp beak piercing directly into Eggers' thigh. The intense pain made Eggers' entire body tremble.

"Oh no..."

Luo Xi frowned.

"Barton has two poison sacs on each cheek. This toxin is extremely potent and can easily kill monsters of the same size, even Ultraman..."

As she was speaking, Luo Xi suddenly noticed that Zhang Chen had taken a step forward. She raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but speak.

"What, are you going to lend a hand? Don't forget, we've been hiding in the shadows all along. If you intervene, the Earth Defense Force won't let this go."

"We can't afford to lose another Ultraman on Earth."

Zhang Chen shook his head slightly and placed the [Radiance] in front of his chest.

"Don't forget our goal is to find the power that protected Earth when the Land of Light was destroyed. If the power in the open is lost, then the guys in the shadows will become even more insane."

As they were talking, the battlefield took another turn.

Just as the volcanic monster bird Barton was about to deliver the final blow and kill Ultraman Aegis, flames suddenly erupted from its head.

It turned out that Guardian One and Guardian Two fired in time, stopping Barton's attack and giving Ultraman Aegis a chance to catch his breath. However, the poison had already spread, and Aegis was even a little unsteady on his feet.

Then look at Barton. After being bombarded by missiles, it suddenly spread its wings and its entire body soared into the air. Its terrifying speed broke through the blockade of Watchmen I and II and soared straight into the sky.

"He ran away?" Luo Xi looked up, his gaze following the direction Barton had left.

"The missile must have hit the vein tissue on its venom sac. Although it didn't break it, it still startled it, so it chose to leave," Zhang Chen guessed.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xi immediately pondered. "The veins on the venom sac? Oh... destroying the veins will cause the poison in the sac to flow back, causing Barton to die from his own deadly poison. That's a good method."

"Stop lamenting about that. If Patton were to run into the city, things would get really messy."

Zhang Chen turned around and looked at Luo Xi beside him.

"By the way, your spaceship is nearby, right?"
