Ultraman: Noah's big one at the beginning

X dropped a bombshell: "I don't know the specific reason, but I can take you back to the unknown realm."

"Hiss~" Gu Jia's eyes flickered, he was a little undecided.

Is there any danger?

His commission was merely to investigate matters related to the unknown realm; to venture directly into it would be too risky.

Ax stated his assessment: "It might happen, but it won't be too much trouble for you."

Guga believed X and continued, "Then how should we get there?"

X: "The Hole of the Universe".

"Its appearance can be described as an enhanced version of spatial distortion, but the unknowns in the Cosmic Hole are more numerous and more dangerous. It is said that only those who possess the Cosmic Needle can escape unscathed from it."

"When I came to this world from the unknown realm you spoke of, I passed through the cosmic cave. As for why I was unharmed, I guess it was just luck..."

Guga's expression turned solemn: "And the closest cosmic cave to Earth right now is... Greeza!"

"You didn't come here chasing after Greiza, you came from inside Greiza's body?"

Having recalled the past, X replied, "Griza is the cosmic cavity itself. Originally, it was just quietly floating in a certain spatial fold. It seems that it was because of my arrival that it gained the ability to move and began to follow its instincts to devour planets..."

“This was my mistake, and I had to stop it, so I chased it in the universe for a long time until I shot it into the sun fifteen years ago.”

"As for myself, during that protracted pursuit, I was affected by the Cosmic Cave, my body turned into data, and my memories became blurred. To this day, there are still some memories I haven't recovered..."

"Hmm." Gu Jia nodded, having understood everything.

"Then how can we use Greiza to travel through time again?"

"You just said that you were able to get out of there last time without the Cosmic Needle, which involved an element of luck."

“As long as you’re here, that’s enough,” Ex said firmly.

"You are an existence unaffected by spatial storms, more powerful than all the cosmic needles, and only you can traverse the cosmic caves to go wherever you want."

"You know this too?" Gu Jia asked, puzzled, unable to understand why X seemed to have suddenly awakened today.

X: "I remember it."

Gu Jia frowned: "We haven't met many times before, have we..."

Ex: "I don't know why, but it just is."

After hearing X's nonsensical explanation, Guga forced himself to calm down and collapsed onto the sofa.

X said he was an enhanced version of the Cosmic Needle, and Guga believed him to some extent, since he was a transmigrator and it wasn't surprising that he had some spatial characteristics.

Following this line of thought, going through the cosmic cave to the unknown realm might not only uncover the secrets of that realm, but also perhaps the secrets of time travel…

Having figured these things out, Gu Jia stood up: "When do we set off?"

Ex: "Anytime is fine."

Earth raised its hand: "Hey, aren't you going to ask about my time?"

X: "Earth, could you please deliver the terminal to Guga? This operation is too dangerous, and I might not be able to take care of you."

"Hmm?" Guga noticed the blind spot: "Didn't you just say it wasn't dangerous? (???；)"

Ex explained, "What's not dangerous for you might not be for me, but for the earth, it's a matter of life and death."

"Even without danger, time is a problem for the earth."

Gu Jia nodded: "That's true."

This journey could take anywhere from a month or two to several hundred years, and the earth could not withstand it.

Earth asked worriedly, "If you can't be of one mind with me, how will you fight, X?"

Ex said sourly, "Guga is enough. He will protect me."

“If it’s not too dangerous,” Gu Jia added.

Dadi is a researcher. If Ax doesn't want him to go, he won't go. He's very rational: "Alright, be careful on your way and come back soon."

And so, after a brief period of preparation, Guga set off with X and Karen.

After a period of flight, near Mercury in the solar system, he found Griza, who was continuously emitting dark thunderstorm energy into space.

At this moment, the mass display of Grizza is still "None", and various detectors do not react to it at all.

"Do you remember why it keeps radiating this energy outwards?" Guga asked X in the terminal.

“It might also be an instinct…” Ax replied.

"After the cosmic cave transformed into this form, it probably felt insecure and wanted to create a powerful entity to protect itself."

"Another possibility is that the cosmic cavity originally existed as a kind of channel, and this electromagnetic energy was transmitted from the other end of the channel."

"So we still have to go in and take a look."

Looking at the spiky, spherical Greeza in front of him, Gugara hesitated for a moment before plunging into it.

The subsequent exploration went surprisingly smoothly.

Inside the Cosmic Cave, after passing through a chaotic void, Guga saw countless luminous passages leading to various worlds.

At this moment, he stood at the center where all the passages converged, seemingly filled with choices.

Chapter 353 Order Administrator 012134!

The Cosmic Hole is one of the most unique entities in the universe, possessing properties similar to a black hole, but under certain circumstances, it can move like a living thing.

Furthermore, after Guga truly entered the cosmic cave, he discovered that this existence might not have been born under the natural laws of the universe, but rather was artificially created.

The reason is simple: the countless paths laid out before him at this moment are a bit too orderly.

Although the crossroads of countless worlds within the Cosmic Cave have different shapes, they are arranged quite neatly, as if they had been carefully organized.

In the terminal, after seeing these countless intersections, X couldn't help but exclaim, "It definitely wasn't like this when I came in, although I've forgotten what it looked like when I came in."

"It's almost like they've been domesticated..."

"I never imagined I could see such a sight in space," Belial said in Guga's mind, his voice filled with doubt.

"This is something I've never seen before."

Gu Jia muttered to himself, "So the question is, which path should we take to reach the unknown realm?"

"Why aren't there any signs at these entrances? It would be really troublesome to get lost in here."

The voice just fell.

"Crack crack crack—!"

A series of dense sounds emerged from the cosmic cave, followed by illusory subtitles appearing at the entrances of all the roads.

Some of them are symbols and codes that Guga cannot understand, somewhat like the Land of Light's numbering system for planets.

The other part consists of texts that Guga could understand, such as "Entrance to the Two-Dimensional World," "Entrance to the Demon Realm," "Between Life and Death," and "Unknown Realm."

X, whose terminal glowed, found this scene unbelievable: "A road sign really appeared! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ"

Ex murmured, "You said something and a road sign appeared. Does this place really have a caretaker?"

After saying that, he reminded Gu Jia, "Maybe you can try shouting it out."

"I don't know why, but you seem to have a lot of status here."

Gu Jia was also puzzled. After being reminded, he tried calling out, "If there really is an administrator, then come out and meet him."

The words fell.

"Shuashuashua——"

The illusory subtitles that had been floating above the countless passageways dissipated, turning into energy particles that rapidly reassembled in front of Guga.

A few seconds later, a dull-looking robot appeared in front of everyone.

"Administrator?" Gu Jia asked, puzzled.

"I dare not accept such praise," the robot waved its hand, its voice devoid of any emotion: "I am ordered to guard the time-space transfer station."

"This? A transit station?" Gu Jia scratched his head, feeling that everything here was becoming more and more magical.

"Who told you to guard this place? And do you remember me?" Ex asked impatiently from the terminal.

However, the administrator seemed not to hear and stood there frozen, showing no intention of responding.

Ex had already figured out the key: "Guga, it seems he only listens to you."

"Who told you to guard this place? Do you remember him?" Guga repeated X's question.

This time, as expected, I received a reply from the administrator: "A long time ago, 01 assigned me this task."

"As for him, 012134, the maintainer of order, some time ago, during the course of his work, he left his original world due to a spacetime turbulence."

"His departure took away too much energy from the transfer station, making it difficult to sustain operations. In order to protect itself, the transfer station began to replenish its energy on its own..."

"I understand," Gu Jia nodded.

The time-space transfer station is the Cosmic Hole. As speculated, X's departure from the original world is the root cause of the Cosmic Hole becoming Greeza.

"Is 012134 your employee ID?" Gu Jia shook the terminal attached to X in his hand.

"I can't remember exactly, but the string of numbers feels familiar," Ax said, trying to recall.

"Your data is corrupted, so it's normal that you can't remember," the administrator said.

"By the way, there's one more question. Why do you only listen to him?" Ex asked the administrator.

The administrator responded in a mechanical voice: "Access requested... Access denied... Unable to answer."

"Strange. It seems we'll have to venture into the unknown to find out the truth," Gu Jia muttered to himself.

Upon hearing his words, the administrator's body vanished once more, transforming into subtitles floating above the entrance to the passageway.

Guga found the entrance to the passage marked "Unknown Realm" and strode into it.

"Shh!"

After a familiar pulling sensation, Guga completed his journey from the spacetime transfer station to the unknown realm.

When his vision returned, he found himself in a spacious hall.

The layout here is somewhat similar to the Ultra Port in the Land of Light, with turnstiles and information desks.

Behind him was the passageway, but the light within had been extinguished, and the entrance was covered in dust, indicating that it had not been used for a long time.

"Compared to Ultra Space Port, this place is much quieter," Gu Jia muttered as he walked to the turnstile.

Just then, the turnstile announced: "Unregistered visitor! Unregistered visitor! Please proceed to the office for registration immediately!"

“Let me through first, the office is behind you.” Gu Jia tried to communicate with the turnstile.

The turnstile executes its own program: "Register first, then I can let you through."

Gu Jia scratched his head: "If you don't let me pass, how am I supposed to register?"

The turnstile said, "Register first, then I can let you through."

Gu Jia: "..."

Artificial intelligence is hopeless!

“This place looks like it hasn’t been used in a long time. If you don’t let me through, I’ll smash it up,” Gu Jia threatened.

Ex raised his voice, wanting to try again: "How are we supposed to register if you don't let us through?!"

The words had barely left his lips when the turnstile's voice gained a touch of emotion: "012134? You're back?"

"You disappeared for thirty years, and we all thought you were obsolete too."

"You know me?" Ax asked in surprise.

The turnstile: "Of course, 012134, the last maintainer of order. Sixty-three years ago, you were the one who performed the last maintenance for me."

"It's good that you're back. Please go and take a look at the baggage handling robot in the warehouse next door. It's not working right now; it seems there's some malfunction in the control system..."

After hearing this series of conversations, Gu Jia looked at the terminal in his hand and asked, "You used to work here?"

The turnstile responded, "No, he occasionally patrols this area."

"He is the order administrator."
