Li Qingyang turned back to the living room.

In the vast space, only he and the blonde girl remained, but for some reason, the atmosphere was even more tense than when there were three of them at the beginning.

He sat down cross-legged at the low table again, where he saw Hayasaka Ai sitting upright with an impeccable posture, gently teasing the mica that had somehow jumped onto the table with a slender finger.

The warm brown, two-tailed kitten seemed to enjoy her petting, affectionately rubbing its little head against her fingertips and purring contentedly.

Li Qingyang had barely settled down when he hadn't even had a chance to say anything.

Hayasaka Ai suddenly spoke up, her voice soft and melancholic, like a golden-haired ghost emerging from an ancient well, "I remember, when we first met at the shopping mall, Lord Qingyang was shopping with that Ms. Kato just now, wasn't he..."

She paused, then raised her eyes, her sea-blue eyes staring intently at him. "You two... are you currently in a romantic relationship?"

"what?"

Seriously, officer? Didn't this topic just get over?

How did we end up back here again?!

Is this a scene of carnage like Izanami? When did it happen?!

The black-haired boy subconsciously waved his hand, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples.

"No, no, absolutely not. Didn't we just talk about this topic? It's about the relationship between neighbors and friends."

He picked up his phone and glanced at the time, trying to change the subject again: "Speaking of which, it's almost eleven o'clock now. What are you going to do tonight? It's so late, do you have a driver to pick you up?"

Upon hearing this, Hayasaka Ai immediately put on an innocent and pitiful expression, like a kitten abandoned by its owner in a cardboard box on a rainy night.

"Ah, I've already sent the driver back." She sighed softly, her sea-blue eyes filled with understanding.

"It's so late after all. We can't keep the driver waiting all the time. That would be too hard on him. Why should working people make things difficult for each other?"

Li Qingyang was taken aback: "Then you..."

"It's alright, Lord Qingyang, you don't need to worry about me. I'll just sleep on the sofa."

Hayasaka Ai spoke pitifully, and halfway through her sentence, her gaze swept around the living room, which was so empty that a cat and a dog could have a full-marathon chase.

Then, she was disappointed (surprised) to find that, apart from the incongruous low table and an enormous television, there wasn't even a single sofa.

So, she naturally changed the subject, blinking her pure and innocent big eyes with a hint of shyness as she looked at the black-haired boy.

"Ah, there's no sofa here... Oh well."

The blonde girl's voice carried a perfectly appropriate hint of shyness and coyness, and two alluring blushes appeared on her fair cheeks.

"Would it be possible for Lord Qingyang to make do with us and squeeze in?"

"???"

Li Qingyang instantly showed a shocked expression as if he had seen a ghost, and his whole body froze on the spot.

Seeing his expression, as if he had been glared at by Medusa, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her clear laughter, like a pebble thrown into stagnant water, instantly broke the almost solidified atmosphere in the living room.

All her previous resentment and probing vanished, and a sly and playful smile bloomed on the blonde girl's face as she mischievously stuck out her pink tongue.

"Just kidding."

She stood up and gently lifted the constantly humming engine of the Mica to Li Qingyang's face. Her sea-blue eyes sparkled with a little girl's longing and yearning. "This morning, I saw Lord Qingyang riding away in the Mica, and I want to experience that feeling too! Let the Mica take me back! By the way, Lady Kaguya hasn't seen the Mica all day and misses it terribly."

The warm brown twin-tailed kitten seemed to understand her words, and wagged its two fluffy tails in a very cooperative manner, letting out a soft "chirp~" sound from its throat. It looked at Li Qingyang with its bright red, jewel-like cat eyes, as if it were speaking up for the blonde girl.

Seeing this, the black-haired boy let out a long sigh of relief, and with a touch of helplessness, he reached out his finger and gently tapped the cat girl's little head.

That little maid was definitely doing it on purpose.

“Okay.” He nodded and readily agreed. “Then I’ll give you a ride, it’ll be safer.”

It was late at night, after all. Letting a girl ride alone in a big cat without even a seatbelt back to Tokyo was risky. Not to mention getting lost, if it crashed, that would be a real disaster.

"Huh?!"

The blonde girl's eyes instantly lit up with a look of surprise comparable to a searchlight, and two beautiful blushes quickly rose on her fair cheeks. Her tone was filled with unbelievable anticipation and the fluttering of her heart.

"Lord Qingyang, would you... would you like to sit with me in your arms?"

"It doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it," Li Qingyang retorted expressionlessly, shattering her unrealistic rosy fantasy like a Siberian chill. "You sit in the back."

"Eh..."

The light of surprise in Hayasaka Ai's eyes visibly dimmed, her straight back slumped slightly, and she seemed to have lost all her bones, letting out a wail of disappointment that was hard to decipher.

However, this dejected state lasted for less than three seconds.

The blonde girl quickly regained her composure, nodded vigorously, and her flawless, sweet smile returned to her face. However, a certain, unseen joy still flickered deep within her sea-blue eyes...

Sit in the back!

It's not like sitting in the back means you get no benefits at all!

She could easily feign a fear of heights to get close to Lord Qingyang's broad back, feel the reassuring aura emanating from him, and even cough up and down...

The blonde girl's thoughts had already drifted far away, and a silly smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Li Qingyang silently observed the ever-changing expressions on her face and wisely decided not to delve any further...

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

Another dimension, outside of Earth.

The lifeless universe was suddenly ripped open by a crack.

Beyond the crack, a bizarre and distorted chaotic scene unfolded, as if countless worlds had been crushed and forcibly crammed together, revealing an unsettling aura of chaos.

The next moment, an indescribable surge of dark energy was violently ejected from the rift, carrying with it all the curses the Dark Shadow Mage had placed on light and Ultraman before his death, heading straight for Earth...

Earth, inside a massive, abandoned steel factory.

The red figure representing the earth and the blue figure representing the ocean, along with the indicator lights on their chests, were almost flashing into a continuous, dazzling red light.

With a final roar, the two exhausted figures simultaneously launched a final flying kick at each other.

boom--!

The dome of the abandoned factory suddenly lit up, the blinding white light engulfing everything, and a violent shockwave carrying smoke and dust burst out of the cracked windows.

At the very center of the burst of light, two figures were thrown back by the immense force, crashing heavily onto the cold, damp concrete like rag dolls, letting out heavy gasps.

The intense light slowly faded, revealing their battered human forms.

The man in the black trench coat used his hands to support himself on the ground and slowly stood up. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at his opponent, who was also struggling to get up not far away, with a cold and complicated look in his eyes.

"You've gotten stronger, my dream."

“But I will defeat you!” Fujimiya Hiroya clenched his fists, his voice cold and resolute. “Anyone who stands in my way must be eliminated!”

After saying that, he didn't look at the other person again, turned around and staggered out of the factory with heavy steps.

“Teng Gong…” Takayama Gamu, dressed in the XIG uniform, clutched her chest with one hand, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, her face full of pain, confusion, and bewilderment.

"Why would Earth take Agul's power...?"

Why......

Why do we, who are also Ultraman from Earth, have to fight to this extent?

High in the sky, three XIG Cool Dragons fighter jets roared past.

"Where's Ultraman...?"

"Disappeared...?"

Inside the cockpit, the pilots exchanged bewildered conversations. They circled once in the air, but the sophisticated radar detected no significant energy response.

Unable to find the Olympic Games, they had no choice but to return home.

However, just as Fujimiya Hiroya was about to walk out of the factory gate...

Just as Gao Shanwo was kneeling on the ground, immersed in immense pain.

Without any warning.

The two seemed to have been put on pause, their movements coming to an abrupt halt.

Fujimiya Hiroya and Takayama Gamu felt it at almost the same time.

"Bang dong-"

The light originating from Agul and the light originating from Gaia simultaneously emitted a tremor like the throbbing of a heart.

This is......

At the same time, a large amount of dark energy penetrated the atmosphere, descending from the sky like an invisible shadow, instantly penetrating the earth's surface and dispersing in all directions, surging towards the earth monsters sleeping underground and in the deep sea.

Beneath Tokyo, above the dragon vein node.

A colossal figure lies dormant in silence.

It resembles an Eastern dragon, with ancient auspicious cloud patterns carved on its legs, and eight giant tails coiled around its body, each tail ending in a separate dragon head.

A chilling, dark energy penetrated precisely through the thick rock layers, ignoring them completely.

The sleeping dragon suddenly opened its eyes, looked at the sweeping dark energy, and let out an angry roar!

In a quiet shrine in Tokyo.

The calm and collected woman in black, named Kuroda Megumi, suddenly trembled, abruptly lowered her head, and looked down at her feet with a terrified expression.

A visible shadow of darkness was seeping out from the cracks in the ancient floor of the shrine, like a living poison, polluting this pure land protected by the earth's veins.

The earth's veins beneath the shrine are emitting painful cries!

Main Text: Chapter 117 Gaia's Spacetime Crisis, Renlong Seeks Help, Little Ghost Girl on Alert

At the entrance of an abandoned factory.

Fujimiya Hiroya suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds to see the invisible darkness.

A flash of light appeared on his right wrist, and the sapphire bracelet emerged, flashing a blue-green light at an unprecedented frequency.

A throbbing sensation, as if his soul had been forcibly connected, arose spontaneously within him, as if the entire earth was emitting a silent, painful wail in his mind.

"Agul...?!"

Behind me, I heard the sound of staggering footsteps and heavy breathing.

"Fujimiya Yui Umura Umura!"

Takayama Gamu struggled to her feet and stumbled out, the blue sapphire cone clutched in her hand also pulsating violently, its red light flashing back and forth, echoing the blue light on Fujimiya's wrist.

The light originating from Gaia unexpectedly resonated at the same frequency as the light from Agul.

"What exactly is this...?"

Fujimiya Hiroya clenched his fists, not turning around. He, too, felt the immense darkness and the planet's own... mournful cry.

The two giants of light, who were opposed by a conflict of beliefs, found that the source of their power transcended each other's will and resonated in perfect sync.

XIG Air Base, Command Center.

The piercing alarm ripped through the air, and the red light cast a ghastly pale glow on every face.

"This...this is impossible!"

Operator Atsuko Sasaki pressed her hands tightly against the control panel, her knuckles turning white from the force. She stared intently at the main screen, her voice filled with barely suppressed fear.

On the main screen, a huge global map was instantly covered by dozens of red dots.

Each red dot represents an ultra-high energy reaction, which erupts simultaneously from underground and deep sea, densely packed, like a deadly plague spreading instantly.

"Monster reactions detected simultaneously around the world! So many!" Georgie Leland's voice trembled on the other end.

The command room door was suddenly pushed open, and the action team leader, Seiichiro Tsutsumi, rushed in, his face filled with surprise and seriousness.

Akio Ishimuro stood behind the two analysts, staring at the continuous sea of ​​blood-red alarms, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Such a strong energy reaction! Why?! It's much stronger than the monsters before!" Atsuko Sasaki exclaimed.
