Chapter 99: The Sky Curtain Livestreams Across Myriad Worlds

Lujia'er's shout of "Merge with me" wasn't just echoing in Galaxy Ultraman's consciousness space,

At this moment,

On the sky curtain of the myriad heavens and worlds, this historic scene was also being livestreamed in real time.

On the myriad worlds' sky curtain,

Mixed into Lujia'er's roar was that irritated, exasperated feeling—like stepping on old dog feces—disdain and irritability that could not be concealed.

The myriad heavens and worlds' civilizations once again fell into a brief stupor.

Immediately after, the myriad worlds' civilizations exploded.

Super Beast World, Black Tortoise Ship.

Miaotiao Jun's little eyes stared wide as copper bells, his mouth opening and closing for a long while, yet he couldn't make a sound.

This scene is too beautiful; I, Pangdun, dare not look!

"I... my heavens!"

After a long while, Miaotiao Jun finally squeezed out a shriek from his throat, the finger pointing at the screen trembling.

"That dark overlord who wants to turn the whole universe into figurines actually asked to merge with the just Ultraman?"

"This is just as absurd as if Pluto suddenly grabbed the Snow Emperor's thigh and said, 'My dear, let's get married'!"

Huolinfei had been solemnly watching the sky curtain; hearing this, he almost bit his own tongue.

Although he didn't retort Pangdun's analogy, the shock in his eyes could not be calmed.

"Pangdun, you don't need to make a fuss over this."

"Although Lujia'er is obsessive, he at least keeps a whole corpse when turning people into dolls, and can even be said to be preserving 'beauty'."

"But that Qu..." Huolinfei sneered, "turns people into bricks, into filters, into monsters that only eat grass."

"This is like a cleanliness-obsessed serial killer seeing a madman rolling in a cesspit and trying to fling feces at others."

"Wouldn't any normal villain find this intolerable? What is this? It's just relying on the contrast of one's peers!"

Darwin's Changing Universe.

In the classroom, half-human, half-orangutan Charlie was holding a cup of warm water, his posture elegant like an old gentleman.

Seeing Lujia'er's reaction on the sky curtain—as if he had suffered great shame—and the excited appearance of the myriad heavens and worlds, Charlie's furry face showed little emotion.

On the contrary, his deep eyes revealed a cold, world-weary cynicism.

"Making a fuss over nothing."

He gently took a sip of water, his voice calm as if reading a manual: "Qu remolds humanity, and people feel the sky has fallen, that this is the ultimate evil of the universe."

"But humans have turned wolves into lapdogs, wild boars into meat-only livestock, confined sky‑soaring birds in cages to trim their feathers, and even used gene editing to breed white mice that feel no pain..."

Charlie set down his water cup, his gaze seeming to pierce the screen toward some point in the void.

"How come nobody sees humanity getting angry about this?"

"In humanity's eyes, this is also 'art', also 'domestication', also 'the progress of civilization'."

"Now it's merely the hunter becoming the prey, the lofty ruler turned into a lab mouse."

"What Qu does is merely repeat on humanity what humanity has done to other species."

"Outrage? Hah, just the impotent fury of a strongman's arrogance being shattered."

Earth, manor.

Luo Ji lay on the rocking chair.

This Wallfacer gazed at the sky curtain, at the dark giant roaring toward the light, and suddenly smiled.

He smiled lightly, feeling relieved.

"I see."

He raised his cup and offered a distant toast to the two figures in the void.

"This is what they call 'different paths, same destination'."

Da Shi shuffled over, cigarette in hand, looking bewildered: "Luo Ji, what are you muttering? Those two are about to merge—aren't you surprised?"

"Why should I be surprised?"

Luo Ji swirled his cup, watching the red wine cling to the glass, and said, "Da Shi, look."

"Lujia'er wants to freeze time at a moment of happiness; though extreme, he acknowledges that happiness has value and wishes to protect that beauty."

"Galaxy Ultraman wants the future full of infinite possibilities; though risky, he believes life has dignity and strives for a better tomorrow."

Luo Ji's gaze turned sharp, his voice ringing with conviction.

"Their argument is a methodological dispute over how to make life better."

"It's like a couple arguing—one says children need strict discipline, the other says they need free rein, they shout at each other, but both mean well for the child."

"But Qu is different."

Luo Ji tilted his head back and drained the cup in one gulp.

"Qu is like a trafficker who bursts into a home, breaks children's limbs, stuffs them into cans to make human sticks."

"Faced with a monster that wants to turn people into ghosts, the couple stops arguing, picks up kitchen knives, and presents a united front—isn't that just natural and right?"

Ultraman Universe, primordial spacetime.

Here there is no concept of time, only endless flowing light particles and dark matter.

Galaxy Ultraman's consciousness—its originally firm, gentle light—is now violently fluctuating.

Even one accustomed to great storms was thrown off by Lujia'er's sudden shout.

Fusion?

Galaxy's voice carried a hint of disbelief: "Luji Aier, do you know what you're saying? We have fought for countless ages, you..."

Shut up! Stop the nonsense!

The dark Luji Aier's consciousness surged violently, like a black volcano about to erupt.

Of course I know!

I wish to completely crush you, this naive fool, to prove that my eternity is the truth!

Luji Aier's voice suddenly rose, filled with an almost hysterical disgust.

But!

I will never allow! I will never allow the life I wish to protect to become that……that filthy, lowly, twisted excretion filter!

That is an insult to my aesthetics! It is a trampling of the word 'life'!

I will turn them into dolls, that is exquisite artwork, an eternity that freezes all things in beautiful moments! Not the trash made by those insects!

Now, I will join you to crush those evil insects!!

Every word of Luji Aier struck like a heavy hammer, hitting Galaxy's heart.

Although the reasoning still sounds overbearing and self-centered.

But Galaxy understood.

This is Luji Aier-style 'justice'.

Although twisted, he indeed stood on the side of 'life dignity' at this moment.

Galaxy fell silent for a moment.

Afterward, that cluster of blue light suddenly became soft, yet unprecedentedly fervent.

I understand, Luji Aier.

Galaxy's voice no longer held doubt, replaced by resolve.

Although I still do not agree with your method of stopping time.

But in exterminating Qu, protecting the dignity of life……our goals are the same.

If even the qualification to be called 'human' is stripped away, then both future and eternity will be meaningless.

Come on!

Above the heavenly canopy, light and shadow intertwined.

At this moment, all heavens and myriad worlds held their breath.

Only to see that the originally distinct blue radiance and black mist actually began to draw near and merge with each other.

There was no violent repulsion or explosion as imagined.

Light and darkness are inherently two sides of one entity.

Just like the river of time, it has both surging waves forward and tranquil sediments in the riverbed.

If so, then let you witness what, when we two become one, transcends light and darkness, transcends the boundaries of time and space……

The ultimate form!
