Chapter 6: Flight speed five Mach? No, it's light speed!

~5 min read 927 words

The leader's thought-form hovered silently, locking onto the red-and-silver figure on the skyline.

"How can you be sure,"

"This giant, is it the kind of 'creature' you think it is?"

……

Super Beast World, Black Tortoise Ship.

"Wow! What is this? A 3D holographic projection? The effect is too realistic!"

A chubby little fatty, that is Miao Tiaojun, was flailing his arms and legs, trying to touch the light screen that suddenly appeared before him.

"Don't be stupid, Pang Dun; this thing can appear directly in our ship—it definitely isn't ordinary technology."

Huo Linfei crossed his arms, wearing a cool expression, but his attention had already been completely captured by the huge red-and-silver giant on the skyline.

When he saw the first-generation Ultraman casually produce that destructive Spacium beam, his cheerful, arrogant expression also couldn't hold up.

"I… my heavens, this destructive power…"

Miao Tiaojun opened his mouth wider, muttering to himself: "If only I could be that strong in the future…"

Huo Linfei, hearing that, immediately found a chance to retort, laughing and scolding: "Stop dreaming, little fatty; you'd better think about how to lose weight!"

"Don't call me Pang Dun!"

Miao Tiaojun instantly bristled, puffed out his chest, and struck a pose he thought was handsome.

"Call me the one whose weight equals his love, whose waist equals his love, the second captain of the Black Tortoise Ship, the chief commander of the Super Beast Squad, Miao Tiaojun!"

The two argued for a while, but Huo Linfei's expression gradually grew solemn.

He turned his head to look at the hunched old man behind him.

"Master."

Huo Linfei asked in a low voice: "Will the Underworld King we have to face in the future be as strong as this Ultraman?"

Xuan Yizi slowly opened his eyes; he did not answer directly, merely calmly extending his hand.

In his palm, a black-and-white Yin-Yang Bagua diagram slowly emerged, exuding a mysterious aura.

"We Super Beast Warriors are the bond that maintains the balance of parallel universes."

Xuan Yizi's words were profound.

"In other words, no matter how strong the enemy, they are destined to be… balanced by us!"

……

……

Earth, the manor of Wallfacer Luo Ji.

A huge high-altitude viewing chamber covering two thousand square meters, constructed entirely of high-strength transparent material, had risen from the ground and hovered above the manor.

Luo Ji and Zhuang Yan sat side by side on the sofa at the center of the viewing chamber, silently watching the skyline.

At some point, a tall, sturdy figure appeared behind him.

Old Shi, Shi Qiang.

He lit a cigarette, looked at this extravagantly luxurious viewing platform, and joked: "You little rascal really know how to enjoy life—living like this is more comfortable than an immortal; there's nothing of a Wallfacer about you."

Compared with the other Wallfacers who painstakingly pondered and exhausted their efforts, Luo Ji was practically using all of humanity's resources for his own amusement.

Afterward, he could always shut everyone up with a single line: "This is also part of the plan."

Luo Ji merely gave a faint smile upon hearing that.

"Can you guess what I'm thinking?"

Shi Qiang furrowed his brows, took a hard drag on his cigarette, thought for a long time, and finally still shook his head.

"I'm a coarse person; I can't understand all your cultured folks' twists and turns. In my eyes, you kid are just eating, drinking, and having fun—no matter how you look at it, you don't seem to be pondering how to save the world."

A hint of triumph appeared on Luo Ji's face.

"Well, isn't that right?"

"What you see is like this, and what the Trisolarans see is also like this."

He paused, then suddenly spoke.

"By the way, I want to eat some snacks."

Shi Qiang almost choked on his smoke, staring at him speechlessly.

"Is this also part of the plan?"

Luo Ji didn't even lift his head, naturally nodding.

"Yes."

Shi Qiang completely lost his temper, so he could only grumble as he turned around to prepare some snacks for him.

Just then, the image on the skyline changed again.

In the video, the red-and-silver giant, after defeating the monster, lifted his head to gaze at the sky, then pushed off with his legs, turning into a stream of light that shot upward.

He flew toward the universe.

This seemed to be an ordinary flight ability, not causing much of a stir.

On the skyline, Jiang Li thoughtfully added a line of subtitles.

【Ultraman is going home.】

The viewers of the Myriad Worlds watched the Ultraman flying away from Earth, and many civilizations were somewhat dismissive.

In the Divine Realm, Tang Mountain even let out a scoff.

"At this speed, it's at most around five Mach—pitifully slow. Relying on this speed for interstellar travel is nothing short of a daydream."

"It seems this so-called Land of Light must be near Earth, just an insignificant little place."

Trisolaran World, that Chancellor just now also regained his confidence.

Flight speed is quite ordinary, even inferior to the aircraft of Earth civilization. It looks like my earlier judgment was correct; their tech tree is indeed skewed.

However, the next instant.

Above the firmament, the red-silver giant that had flown out of Earth's atmosphere suddenly had its entire body disintegrate and reassemble!

He was no longer a physical entity, but transformed into a dazzling, pure red light sphere!

What left all civilizations breathless was that the light sphere's flight speed underwent a leap at this moment!

【Flight speed: light speed】
