Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

"Hikari, don't forget your pure heart. Remember what we said? Whether you're a warrior or a scientist, as long as you keep that same heart, you'll be our friend forever."

“We will protect you, but don’t dwell on your hatred for Bogaru anymore. You have things to do.”

The Arbok beings have a very open-minded view of life and death. They bid farewell here and gradually prepare to truly dissipate one by one, no longer lingering in this universe as a semi-living life form.

"No! Don't go! I'll stop chasing Bogaru, I just want you to survive. Oh, and I can go back to the Land of Light. Maybe the life solidification technology can save your lives. I'll go back right away, wait for me!"

He hadn't thought about the life solidification technology before, partly because Aber's body had been completely devoured and digested by Bogaru, and partly because he couldn't find Aber's soul anymore.

But now that we can meet with Abo's soul, there might still be hope!

“Our deaths are not important, Hikari. Don’t cross the line between life and death for our sake.”

Arbok's life dissipates one by one, but before each Arbok life disappears, his soul transforms into a faint point of light that merges into Hikari's body, enhancing his power.

"No, I don't want that power, I just want to be with you all!"

Hikari reached out weakly, but he couldn't interfere with the choices made by Arber's lives.

Just when he was about to despair, the last and smallest of these brilliant lives, seemingly under the influence of another Star Voice, and as if instructed by the other vanished Arbo life forms, did not choose the path of its brethren, but instead floated over gently.

Hikari stared at it blankly: "You..."

The youngest Arbok floated gently into Hikari's palm and rubbed against him like a kitten.

This young soul carries the weight of an entire planet; the past, present, and future of Arbok are all borne by this last life.

"Buzz!"

The power of the Star Voice, imbued with the aura of Kassa, continuously transported in from the outside world, vibrated, guiding the path out of this dimension.

Hikari stopped choking up and crying; his once shattered heart was pieced back together, piece by piece.

He carefully protected the life of Aber in his palm, his eyes hardening. Following the guidance of the light, he flew away from this special world that a life that had not died should not linger in.

Immediately afterwards, Hikari felt a darkness before his eyes, as if ten thousand years had passed, or as if only a second had gone by.

When his senses returned and he opened his eyes again, his soul had already returned to his body. At this moment, he was lying in the Silver Cross base, and the recuperation of his identity and other aspects had just ended.

"This is……?"

Hikari instinctively got up, but immediately noticed something was wrong.

Not only were all the injuries he sustained while chasing Bogaru completely healed, but his armor also became much lighter and its shape changed. Furthermore, he could clearly feel that his body was stronger than before, possessing both the power of the Star Voice from Kassaar and the gifts from the lives of Arbok.

With the combined enhancement of these three factors, he is now stronger than ever before and is absolutely qualified to join the Space Garrison!

But such power was of no importance at this moment. Hikari hurriedly looked around, afraid that everything that had just happened was just a dream.

"~"

A real Arbok life force emerged from the armor, drifting lazily and lightly around him, emitting a pure sound.

Hikari's eyes widened, and he almost trembled slightly as he slowly reached out to touch it, yet dared not, fearing that this last Arbok was still in a state of superposition between life and death.

A cool sensation came from his fingertips, and Arbo's last remaining life truly came back to life.

"—!!"

Hikari was stunned.

He couldn't articulate his current feelings. Was it the relief of surviving a disaster, or the joy of finally overcoming hardship and wanting to cry?

It's hard to describe. All he knows is that his Ultra Heart, which was filled with hatred, has finally regained its light and quietly restored the mindset that a person from the Land of Light should have.

Hikari stood up from the hospital bed, letting the little guy wander around, and looked outside to see the Plasma Spark Tower, which he hadn't seen for a while.

"It seems you're recovering well, Hikari."

The sound of the door opening made Hikari turn around and see his best friend.

“Kasa…”

Hikari murmured, then suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly started scrambling, "That's right, you are the warrior, you need this power more than I do, I'll return the power of the Star Voice to you right away."

Kasa walked over and, seemingly indifferent to the concept of power, advised, "In order to send you there, that power has completely merged with you. Just accept it. If I really encounter an enemy I can't defeat, it won't make me win just because I've gained this power."

"Besides, you need power right now, don't you?"

Upon hearing this, Hikari turned to look at the carefree Arbok, who was wandering around, and after a moment, finally nodded: "Yes, you're right."

"Even if Aberstar makes me let go of my hatred, I still can't accept it. I absolutely cannot allow evil like Bogaru to go unpunished!"

He is now much more at ease. If he were to encounter Bogaru again, he would not only think of dying together with him, but would end that disgusting darkness while preserving his useful body.

But no matter what, even if the beings on Aberstar come to terms with it, he still can't let go. As long as Bogaru lives, he can't completely let go.

"However, I really did something ridiculous,"

Hikari sighed and said, "I'm sorry."

If his previous state hadn't been so extreme, Kassadin wouldn't have had to sacrifice this power. The power of the Star Voice is not only power, but also a symbol of friendship, just like the Armor of Redemption from Arbok on his body.

Kasa chuckled: "If you really feel sorry for me, then kill Bogaru at the martial arts tournament as soon as possible, and then go back to the Science and Technology Bureau to help. Some things will be really troublesome without you. Tregear is far from being strong enough for you to rest."

"I will."

Hikari took it very seriously, and during the days of hunting down Bogaru, he truly understood the importance of technological progress.

Therefore, he did not deny his own irreplaceable role; he was merely being modest. But if he were to deny it, it would not be modesty, but rather a mockery of all other scientists in the universe.

“Before that, Kasa, in the days leading up to the martial arts tournament, I would like to receive your guidance.”

Hikari said seriously, "Without your guidance, even if I become stronger, it would probably be difficult to defeat Bogaru."

After regaining his normal mindset, his thinking ability naturally returned to normal. He knew without even thinking that Bogaru in the Ampera Empire would inevitably be strengthened and armed to a very high degree by Mefilas.

"That's probably difficult; I might not have time next time."

Kasa handed him over, saying, "Ace is currently training Mebius and the others. You can join in too. I'll be there whenever I have time."

Upon hearing this, Hikari gently beckoned to Arbok, and the obedient Arbok darted into the armor.

As long as the armor doesn't break and Hikari isn't dead, if these two conditions aren't met simultaneously, this last Arbok will never die again, making him feel incredibly safe.

With Arbok's life in his hands, Hikari, now fully recovered, was about to leave for the training grounds, but as he passed Kassadin, he paused for a moment: "Thank you, Kassadin."

Our friendship spans tens of thousands of years; no need for further words, a simple thank you is enough to express our gratitude.

Kassa nodded slightly and quickly left the Silver Cross Army, heading towards the Science and Technology Bureau.

Regarding Hikari's return, the Land of Light simply issued a brief announcement, stating that there was no need to worry. There was no other grand celebration. This is a country where everyone is equal, and although Hikari is a hero who has saved countless lives, he will not receive any special treatment.

Upon hearing this announcement, the other scientists breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that a weak scientist who was not capable of protecting himself had finally returned and they could be safe.

But for the Science and Technology Bureau, everyone was eagerly anticipating it. Torregia was leading a team inside the bureau, connecting in real-time with the arena's manufacturers to control various data and ensure the smooth progress of the arena.

Even though he's so busy, he still glances outside every now and then, wishing that every Ooce he sees is Hikari.

"What? It's an instructor!"

Toregia was disappointed once again, muttering, "Didn't they say Director Hikari was back? The Silver Cross's treatment should be almost over by now, right?"

"Don't think about it anymore. Hikari's heartache is only half healed. If you want to wait for him to come back, it will take some time."

Although he really wanted Hikari to come back to 007 immediately, Casa still had some conscience towards the scientists. Since Hikari joined the Science and Technology Bureau, he hadn't had a break at all. This trip to Arbore to relax was the only vacation he had taken in the past few decades.

After they finish killing Bogaru and return, it will basically be another few thousand years of non-stop work. This short respite is what Hikari deserves.

Kasa reminded him, "Don't think about Hikari for now. How's the task I gave to the Technology Bureau going?"

When this was mentioned, Torregia immediately straightened his expression and said in a very serious tone, "Regarding this, the finished product is already out."

Toregia asked his deputy to keep an eye on the manufacturing progress at the arena, then turned and led Kassadin to another area. He took out a small chip, which was completely black and was soaking in a specially made pseudo-void container, emitting a very unsettling aura.

"Based on the clues and traces you provided, we used various technical means to compress and correct them, and added a tracking function to finally manufacture this chip. It is a unique product, and if it is damaged, it cannot be replicated."

He explained very seriously, "Because there weren't enough traces and the time left was too long, the effect was very effective."

"You must take this chip to those places that bear traces of the evil god in order to successfully track down the evil god's current location and use the traces left there to help you open a tunnel to take you to the universe where the evil god resides."

“But if possible, I would prefer you not to use this chip, instructor.”

Chapter 147 Father of Ultra: It doesn't matter, I will take action!

As Tregear spoke, he displayed a shocking set of data on the instrument. Although the data was incomplete due to the lack of clues, any seasoned Ultra Warrior would understand it at a glance.

"If the prediction is correct, Instructor, the evil god-like beast you're pursuing is very likely to be even stronger than the current battalion commander. If you were to go after it alone, the outcome could very well be..."

Torregia had many reasons to persuade him.

This is a crucial juncture in the standoff between the Land of Light and the Emperor Empire. Even if some troops can be spared to help the instructors, the captain absolutely cannot leave during this period, otherwise the balance of the entire universe will be completely shattered in an instant.

Even the most elite security guards, if they were to fight an enemy whose combat power was likely to surpass that of the captain, would almost certainly face certain death.

This unknown evil god is indeed terrifying. The extremely dense darkness, even just from these traces, has already sent chills down the spines of everyone involved in the research at the Science and Technology Bureau. It is certain that the other party has destroyed many worlds and killed countless innocent lives.

But precisely because it is so terrifying, from a safety perspective, we should wait until the martial arts tournament ends before taking the captain along to track it down.

Whether for personal safety or for mission completion, considering all the benefits, it's best to leave this evil god alone for now.

but.

Despite having such a valid reason, Torregia lowered his eyelids and gradually fell silent, not uttering a single word.

Yes, from any perspective of self-interest, the instructors should absolutely not be pursuing that evil god right now.

But the primary consideration for Ultra Warriors has never been the gains or losses of benefits.

If they didn't know about the existence of this evil god, or if they had no chance of finding it, that would be one thing. But now that we have instruments to trace the past, if they still think about putting this matter off until later, then they can't possibly be a citizen of the Land of Light.

Looking at the silent Tregear, Kassa showed no sorrow at the prospect of death, but slowly said, "When faced with an uncontrollable crisis, every second of action taken could lead to the destruction of an innocent life or even a world. I taught you that, didn't I, Tregear?"

Although he didn't immediately engage in combat in the world of the child, it was at a very delicate time. The entire world wouldn't have been harmed during that brief period, so he waited until Rom and the others had tried it out first.

But now, this unknown evil god-like monster that spans multiple worlds is a truly urgent enemy, and there is absolutely no time for peace.

If it weren't for the need for some other preparations, Kasa would have been eager to set off and deal with it immediately.

"……Yes."

Torregia couldn't refute it, and he smiled wryly, "Just as I expected, Instructor, it's pretty much what I thought."

Kasa gently patted his prized student on the shoulder and comforted him, "Since you know that, then don't try to stop me. And don't be so pessimistic. No matter what enemy we encounter, as long as we Ultra Warriors do our best, there's nothing to be sad about."

Torregia nodded helplessly, then turned around and took out a set of armor from a secret box: "Since I can't stop you, I can only offer my humble contribution."

"This is……?"
