Chapter 14: Nexus defeated

Above the firmament, that resolute posture failed to bring a miracle.

Nexus attacked Grulgrem,

But due to his severe injuries, his movements, including his attacks, became much slower.

However,

At this moment

The crystal behind Grulgrem suddenly flashed a strange purple light!

The next second, all of Nexus's attacks, whether light blades or punches and kicks,

passed straight through the alien beast's body, as if attacking a void phantom!

No matter how Nexus struck, it was like hitting cotton in the air.

The attack, surprisingly, was nullified!

The Trisolaran Fleet command center fell into dead silence.

A scientist in charge of particle physics research experienced such violent thought fluctuations that he nearly lost control.

"Phase shift! This giant beast…… it changed its phase! It moved its body into another microscopic dimension, rendering conventional physical attacks ineffective!"

This conclusion left all Trisolarans deeply shaken.

"A native lifeform on a primitive planet actually mastered such cutting-edge technology?!"

"What on earth is going on with this planet?!"

This thought caused even the Supreme Leader's normally calm thought-form to ripple slightly.

In the firmament, Nexus did not retreat despite the dilemma of his attacks being ineffective.

He instantly withdrew his attack stance, crossing his arms vertically in front of his chest!

In an instant, his silver light faded, replaced by a blazing crimson like burning flames!

Form shift, Red Youth Form!

Immediately afterward, Nexus spread his arms, and an invisible wave surged outward from him in all directions!

The whole world seemed to be dragged into a dim subspace!

Meta Field, unfold!

Within the Meta Field, Grulgrem's phase-shift ability was instantly negated!

Nexus once again fiercely battled the alien beast!

M78 Nebula, Land of Light.

The Ultraman Warriors stared at the unfamiliar red giant in the firmament, looking at each other.

"This warrior…… I don't think I've seen him before." Taro scratched his head. "He looks quite young; which senior is he?"

The hitherto silent Ultraman Zoffy stepped forward.

"According to my data analysis, the warrior named Nexus does not belong to our Land of Light."

"According to my investigative estimates, he is currently located not in our universe, but on Earth in another multiverse, where he is fighting."

Ultraman Father nodded solemnly, looking approvingly at Nexus.

"He is fighting while wounded, a warrior worthy of respect."

He turned toward Zoffy.

"Please, based on the plasma characteristics of that universe in the firmament, lock onto that multiverse."

"Ideally, if we could find the coordinates."

Zoffy nodded, then began calculations.

Within the Trisolaran Fleet, another great uproar arose.

"Form shift? Just changing his color raised his energy level by thirty percent out of nowhere! This violates energy conservation!"

"And that field! He forcibly altered the fundamental physical constants of a space! Only a god could do that!"

The Supreme Leader's thought-form produced for the first time an emotion called 'troublesome'.

The hawkish officer gritted his teeth:

"This invader actually has so many unconventional means; it's truly hateful!"

The battle in the firmament grew increasingly brutal.

Having shifted form, Nexus gained tremendous boosts in power and speed, but his earlier injuries continued to weigh him down.

Grulgrem let out a roar and slammed into Nexus with brute force!

"Boom!"

Nexus was brutally toppled and flung, striking the edge of the Meta Field!

The next second, Grulgrem actually used its claw‑covered hands to violently tear open the spatial barrier of the Meta Field!

Nexus was forcibly dragged back into real space!

He struggled to stand, arms crossed, attempting to release a light skill.

But Grulgrem's attack was faster!

Its tentacles struck precisely at Nexus's wounded right shoulder!

"Sizzle!"

The light energy that had just gathered instantly dissipated.

Immediately afterward, countless tentacles erupted from Grulgrem's body like a dense downpour, all slamming into Nexus's torso!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Under the relentless heavy blows,

Nexus could no longer maintain his giant form.

His body turned into myriad light particles, scattering in the air.

Dead silence, a deathly silence.

All civilizations watching the battle across the heavens were stunned.

They never expected that the Ultraman broadcast on the heavenly screen this time would actually be defeated!

Upon seeing Nexus defeated,

In the Divine Realm, Tang Shan let out a hearty laugh.

"What the heck! Turns out it's so weak!"

"That giant beast, in my view, is at most the level of a century-old soul beast—how could it defeat Ultraman?"

He instantly gained confidence,

Originally, he was awed by Ultraman's divine skill of traversing the universe with his bare flesh and forming wormholes with his hands.

But after seeing Nexus defeated, his earlier fear of Ultraman's prowess vanished instantly.

Tang Shan excitedly pondered, trying to find any evidence that proved Ultraman inferior to himself.

"I get it! Their plane must be too lowly! That's why they seem strong!"

"Hmph, can't even beat a century-old soul beast—trash!"

PIA Headquarters

Cheng Xin almost cheered out loud.

"Great! Mr. Wei De, did you see that? The planet's natives defeated the invaders! They defended their homeland!"

Wei De ignored her, just silently watching the heavenly screen without a word.

Green Grassland, Wolf Fortress

Huaitailang didn't care about the battle's outcome; his attention was completely drawn to the myriad light particles after Nexus dissipated.

He adjusted his hat, leaned toward the heavenly screen, and blinked hard.

"Light particles?"

"This giant's actual form is actually light particles?"

Huaitailang seemed to have caught some crucial detail.

It gazed at the light particles from Nexus's dissipation and instantly noticed a blind spot.

As for how to create a true Ultraman, he seemed to have a clue.

However, the heavenly screen video hadn't finished yet.

So he continued watching.
