Then the black giant's body shrank continuously, turning back into the shape of Ishibori.

"Vice Captain Ishibori!" Yuka exclaimed in shock.

"It's really embarrassing. I always mess up at crucial moments. It was the same with Lucifer, and it's happening again... If it were Noah, he certainly wouldn't be in such a sorry state as I am." Ishibori said with a self-deprecating smile.

Yu Hui quickly went over: "Senior Ishibori, what happened? Did that enemy who was controlling the giant robot to blockade the star field defeat you?"

Ishibori: "Him? He just released all the mechanical Zettons at once, and then a single branch from the Ghost Tree turned them all into scrap metal. He's probably in grave danger now."

Risa's pupils contracted sharply: "What did you say, the Demon Tree?"

Yuka: "So, the vice-captain is actually an alien!"

A thoughtful look appeared on Hagiwara Retsu's face. No wonder this guy always seemed so fearless and carefree before.

Ishibori's face, covered in soot, was very serious: "Yukana, there's no time for jokes now. The Oni-Ghost Tree will descend upon Earth within twenty minutes, and then all life in the solar system will come to an end."

Yu Hui was shocked: "What!"

This development was so sudden!

Risa's face was extremely grim: "The Demon Tree, I always thought it was just a legend, I never imagined that Earth would actually become the coordinates where the Demon Tree landed."

Yu Hui: "What exactly is the Ghost Tree?"

"It is a mythical creature, an existence that resets the universe among countless worlds." At this moment, the little girl who was the incarnation of the red ball walked over leisurely.

"Who are you?" Yu Hui asked warily. He was in a state of panic because Ishibori had said that the world would end in twenty minutes.

"Oh right, you said you prefer mature women with curves to lolis. Do you like this?" After the little girl finished speaking, she seemed to grow up ten years in an instant and transformed into a graceful young woman.

Yu Hui peed himself: "When did I ever say that!"

But Ishibori realized something: "Have you ever seen the afterglow of other parallel universes?"

“That’s right.” The girl who had transformed from the red ball snapped her fingers:

"The Ghost Tree was originally going to descend on another Earth in the afterglow of the setting sun, but it was stopped by Legend and the King of Ultra, which changed its trajectory."

"But He was born on Earth after all, and because of His attachment to His birthplace, He came to Earth in this parallel universe... This is what 'meal replacement' is."

Yu Hui didn't understand: "Coming to destroy their own birthplace?"

Red Ball Girl: "This was just a side effect; the main purpose was to restart the universe."

She said that what the Ghost Tree wants to do is to start the entire universe from Earth.

Risa: "The legend of the Ghost Tree also circulates on my planet, but why would it do this?"

This really stumped the girl with the red ball: "Why? Why does the sun shine? Why do clouds bring rain? Isn't this just part of how the multiverse works?"

She said that although the thought processes of such mythical beings on a single-universe scale are completely different from those of intelligent beings, they can still be speculated upon according to her understanding.

"If your computer is malfunctioning, has too much junk, or you want to improve your sexual function, you'd probably consider reinstalling the system."

"The Ghost Tree reassembles the universe; it should be part of the multiverse."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hui realized that things were getting more and more serious.

What is attacking is not just a powerful creature, but some kind of cosmic rule.

Its magnitude far surpasses that of the Mysterious Evolution Record.

Yuka stopped joking and asked the most important question: "What will happen after the universe is reopened?"

Red Ball Girl:

"In the new universe, Earth is still Earth, and the universe is still the universe, but the Ghost Tree transcends time, and the lives it devours will not return."

"Last time it was dinosaurs replaced by humans, this time it's humans being replaced by a new species, and this will continue indefinitely."

Yu Hui quickly asked, "Is there any way?"

Red Ball Girl: "Do you think there's any power here that can rival the Ghost Tree? No way."

Yu Hui gritted his teeth: "I absolutely will not allow it, Beria, let's go!"

Ishibori: "It's no use. I've already lost. It won't make a difference if you go. If the other Yu Hui were here, there might be a way, but the gravity of fate within you... is too little."

"How will we know if we don't try? Let's give it a shot!" Belial refused to admit defeat.

They transformed again, broke through the atmosphere, and headed towards space.

At this moment, Gui Fangshu had already arrived on Mars. The instant Yu Hui saw him, he felt as insignificant as a mortal facing the Grim Reaper.

Belial looked at the surging black mist surrounding the Ghost Tree with apprehension: "Such a dense aura of death, be careful!"

Even he would find it difficult to withstand such a death fog, let alone humans.

If it were to land on Earth, the entire planet would be instantly wiped out, with no humans or animals remaining.

However, when he used his light energy to create a force field and move forward, something strange happened.

The surrounding mist did not corrode Belial's energy field; instead, it was pushed away, as if it had been dispersed by light.

"It seems to be working; the energy of the light is suppressing him!" Belial and Yu Hui were immediately invigorated.

They immediately used all their skills, including the Eight-Point Light Wheel and the Descium Ray, to strike various potentially vital points on the Ghost Tree.

But it was completely useless; the attack was as ineffective as a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

The Ghost Tree seemed to have no intention of paying attention to these two ants, calmly passing by them and heading towards Earth.

The cruel reality poured a bucket of cold water on Yu Hui and Beria.

They were also helpless against the Ghost Tree, and could not escape with the people of Earth under its blockade.

Is it over? The dawn that had been breaking, with humans and plant life supporting each other's progress, was suddenly shattered by this dead tree.

In less than ten minutes, everything will come to an end!

Chapter 988 Sacrifice

After exhausting all his efforts to no avail, Yu Hui returned to Earth disheartened.

Even if I die, I want to die in my hometown.

"Yu Hui-jun, what happened?"

After he landed at his address in Japan, Ken Sakata and Akiko Sakata, who were equally anxious, came out to greet him.

At this moment, all Earthlings who looked up could clearly see an ever-growing giant shadow rapidly filling the sky, its outline becoming increasingly clear.

"The world is going to end." Yu Hui's face was ashen. He prepared to transform and have Belial take him back to Shenzhou to see his parents one last time.

“Even if [Ken] came, he couldn’t stop this situation…” Belial said, his thoughts unreadable.

At this moment, there are still seven minutes until the Ghost Tree descends to Earth.

Inside the giant crater created by Dark Zagi, Ishibori remained lying down, not getting up, having given up hope and despair.

"Still not strong enough," he said, his eyes dimming.

After his final battle with Dark Lucifer, he did not return to the visitor's planet. Instead, he remembered what the other afterglow had told him: to live his own life and make something of himself.

As a result, Zhao Kuo encountered Bai Qi at his very first stop...

"Will the King of Ultra and Ultraman Legend appear at the crucial moment and stop him one last time?" Risa was unwilling to give up.

She's in the prime of her life, she doesn't want to die!

The girl with the red ball standing nearby said, "It's hopeless. Ultraman isn't omnipotent. Even the King of Ultra could only save Toba Raiha during her difficult childbirth, not her parents."

Retsu Haruno closed his phone, ignoring the messages his superior was frantically sending demanding he report.

He slowly closed his eyes: "That's enough, let it be."

In the final six minutes, it's best not to let the crowd experience the agony of impending death.

A sudden death is painless.

..............................

Just as Yu Hui was about to set off to return to China, a familiar voice suddenly called out to him: "There is still a chance, it just depends on whether you are willing to pay the price."

Yu Hui turned around abruptly and looked at that person.

"Who are you? When did you arrive?" Ken Sakata and Akiko Sakata looked at the handsome man in front of them.

For some reason, I have a kind of dazed feeling, like I've lived a past life and now.

It's somewhat like Jia Baoyu's feeling when he saw Lin Daiyu, like, "I've seen this younger sister before."

The newcomer was a mechanical Jack disguised as a young Hideki Go, who found Yu Hui at this critical moment.

"What do you want to say? What price can be paid to stop the Ghost Tree?" Belial's phantom appeared, his tone urgent.

Mechanical Jack: "The only way to stop the Ghost Tree is to defeat it head-on with absolute power and destroy it."

Yu Hui patiently said, "This kind of being is simply beyond human capability to defeat."

Mechanical Jack: "But another god can."

Time was of the essence, so he gave a brief explanation.

After being expelled for being deemed an "out-of-control product," he once wanted to meet with Speaker Yu in person to appeal for justice and hoped that he would recognize his beliefs.

By chance, he disguised himself as an ordinary member of the Ultra Brothers mechanical unit and quietly sneaked back to the United States headquarters.

Rumors circulated that Speaker Yu was going to inspect Yamabe, so he hid there beforehand, but unfortunately, it was just hearsay.

But he didn't come away empty-handed; he discovered a document in the mountains that was about to be encrypted, which contained information about a mythical creature that roamed the multiverse—the Nine-Headed God.

"Legend has it that the Nine-Headed God is the natural enemy of the Ghost Tree, and He has been searching for traces of the Ghost Tree."

"As long as we can invite the Nine-Headed God, the Ghost Tree will naturally be dealt with."

Yu Hui: "Even if what you said is true, the Ghost Tree will be on Earth in a few minutes. Where are we going to find such a legendary existence now?"

Mechanical Jack: "Summoning can be done through sacrifice. The Nine-Headed God transcends time. As long as there is a suitable offering, He will definitely appear at this point in time."

The file that Kurobuchi Izumi handed over to Speaker Yu contains a record of the method of offering sacrifices to invite the gods.

"Once the Ghost Tree is devoured by the Nine-Headed God, the resulting cosmic upheaval will also bring about a time tide, causing the universe to be swept into the torrent of time and 'rebooted'."

"But the restart initiated by the nine-headed god will at least prevent any life from being permanently erased in the cycle of reincarnation—except for sacrifices."
