Chapter 53: Ultraman Bare‑Handed Forges an Artificial Sun

Three-Body Fleet Command Center.

Countless Three-Body people's thoughts fell into chaos.

At this moment, the entire fleet had devolved into utter chaos, violent fluctuations sweeping every unit, each Three-Body person now feeling the shattering of their worldview.

Amid the chaos, the Chief forcibly suppressed another near-dehydration sensation, its thought waves sweeping across the entire field.

"Quiet down!!"

Under its forceful command, those Three-Body individuals who had been on the verge of collapse, in chaos, barely recovered a little.

The Chief gazed at the sky curtain, the dazzling light of the Plasma Spark Tower.

It could hardly believe what it saw, nor could it admit what it had just heard.

It had no choice but to ask again.

"3056, what did you just say? Say it again! Your words are too bizarre, even contradicting my cognition, forcing me to re‑confirm!"

Chief Scientist 3056 also really did not want to admit it, but it could not deny this fact that surpassed their Three‑Body civilization's cognition.

Its thought waves carried a hint of fatigue.

"Chief, I know this is hard to accept, but according to my analysis, there is no doubt…… this ten‑thousand‑meter tower emitted light capable of covering the entire star!"

"And the reason we consider the Land of Light a star similar to the Sun is precisely because of this tower."

The materialization theorist from just now also added.

"That's right, and precisely for this reason, the Sun we observe is so harmless, so suitable for habitation; otherwise, a normal Sun would hardly give rise to civilization."

The Chief's thought waves became extremely viscous, and it suddenly realized a terrifying thing.

"If the Land of Light is not the Sun, but the light emitted from this tower…… then doesn't that mean――"

It had formed a terrifying hypothesis, yet deep down it refused to accept it.

A sigh leaked from Chief Scientist 3056's thought waves.

Although the Chief did not express it, it already knew what the Chief meant.

Thus it could only lightly utter this conclusion, like a horror story.

"Yes, Chief, you guessed correctly."

"This Land of Light, this Ultraman civilization, they actually built an artificial sun with their own hands!"

As these words fell, the entire command center once again plunged into death‑like silence.

The hawkish officer who had repeatedly harbored hostility toward Ultraman,

at the moment of hearing this conclusion, its thought body violently trembled.

The device maintaining its functions began rapid flashing, red alarm lights frenziedly lit up, and its entire body began to dehydrate passively and uncontrollably.

This news was too shocking, too terrifying!

This was simply ten thousand times more terrifying than the most horrifying ghost story in the Three‑Body world!!

A sun that left their entire civilization helpless, fear deep into their bones.

A sun that forced them to flee their homes, tormenting their whole civilization beyond recognition.

The Land of Light actually built it with bare hands!

"God, forgive my blasphemy!"

The hawkish officer's thoughts dehydrated while violently fluctuating, like a epileptic patient losing control, its thought waves filled with unprecedented fear and repentance.

Manually creating an artificial sun?

Too terrifying!

Too shocking to convention!

In its eyes, Ultraman was undoubtedly a god‑like being.

Yet before this, it had repeatedly spoken insolently to the divine!

The Chief's thought waves stalled slightly, then immediately ordered a physician to check the officer's condition.

After a simple assessment, the physician answered truthfully.

"Report to Chief, this officer, having received immense fear and shock, has a thought core on the brink of collapse, nearly dying on the spot!"

"Currently, all its functional values are on the verge of collapse and require immediate repair!"

This is no longer a matter of being scared to piss; it was almost scared to death.

The Chief froze for a moment,

also not expecting,

the Ultraman civilization,

actually nearly scared to death an officer of their Three‑Body Fleet on the spot!

But after a moment's thought, this matter indeed had a strong impact on the Three‑Body people.

Thus it could only issue an order.

"Take it to the maintenance chamber for recovery."

"Yes."

Titan.

Tony Stark tilted his head back; the Plasma Spark Tower, nearly ten thousand meters high on the sky curtain, almost filled his entire field of view.

His whole body froze, and he muttered to himself.

"This…… this is a divine miracle!"

On the broad stone throne.

Thanos's massive hand gripped the gem‑studded Infinity Gauntlet.

Although he also acknowledged that the Ultraman civilization was extremely powerful and advanced.

But Hikari's life solidification technique had already made him extremely disgusted, and now another plasma spark tower has appeared.

"Cosmic resources are limited; they cannot withstand Ultraman's such squandering and plunder!"

His words were full of cold judgment.

"The cosmic resources required for a single life solidification technique are already countless; the consumption of this tower that could cover an entire star's surface must be even more incalculably terrifying!!"

"These giants are endlessly wasting cosmic resources; it's truly hateful!"

"I painstakingly gathered the Infinity Stones just to snap my fingers and wipe out half of all life, so that I could then improve resource utilization efficiency."

"These Ultramen, again and again, are so extravagant; I think I need to take some measures..."

Mie Ba stroked the Infinity Stones, already regarding Ultra Man as a civilization that destroys cosmic balance, squanders without restraint, and must be eradicated.

Red Coast Base,

Ye Wenjie's aged eyes flashed with unparalleled brilliance.

She almost lost her composure:

"This ten‑kilometer tower is actually an artificial sun?!"

This conclusion struck deep within her heart.

The civilization of these giants constantly refreshed her understanding, almost exceeding her imagination!

After seeing this plasma spark tower, as miraculous as a divine sign,

Ye Wenjie's inner scales began to tilt gradually, shifting from the Trisolaran civilization toward the Ultra Man civilization.

"The Trisolaran civilization probably doesn't have such mighty strength, does it?"

Ye Wenjie's way of addressing the Trisolarans quietly changed.

I don't know when it started, but he no longer calls the Trisolarans 'Lord'.

Sai Bo Tan Xing.

Wei Zhen Tian gazed at that tower, and even his spark felt frozen.

"An artificial sun? What a joke!"

"How could something like this possibly exist in the universe?!"

It suddenly realized a horrifying fact.

That is, the Heaven-overwhelming Tiger's combat ability is far inferior to the Ultra Men of the Land of Light.

Moreover, their science and technology are far inferior as well!

Beside him,

Hong Zhi Zhu was about to comment, but after looking at the sky screen and touching his own slapped face, he grudgingly fell silent.

Just then, the subtitles on the sky screen updated again.

【The plasma spark tower is the core of the Land of Light.】

【It is an artificial sun personally crafted by the ancestors of the Land of Light.】

【All constructions of the Land of Light are built with reference to the plasma spark tower's position; one could say the plasma spark tower is the core of the Land of Light!】

【This tower is completely unlike common sense; as an artificial sun, its complexity is utterly unimaginable.】

【Within it lies an almost inexhaustible source of energy that can supply the Land of Light.】

【This is also why the Land of Light's internal resources are virtually limitless—for example, the resources and energy required for Hikari's developed life solidification technique are supplied by the plasma spark tower.】
