Chapter 40: These cosmic yokels

Roar!

Dijia fully focused on facing the headless corpse wielding a knife before him; behind, the Sunan Ghost's skull, like an arrow released from a bow, shot straight toward Dijia's neck position to bite, its opened blood‑filled maw, sharp fangs emitting a cold gleam, intending to absorb Dijia's light power.

Even if the Victory Flying Swallow No. 2 aircraft exerted all its strength to try to stop it, ordinary laser attacks had no effect whatsoever on the Sunan Ghost.

"Watch out!" Lina shouted anxiously from the fighter.

"Expand!"

As the Sunan Ghost's blood‑filled maw was about to bite Dijia's neck,

Aisi appeared, wielding a long blade that radiated a cold gleam.

He aimed at the Sunan Ghost's blood‑filled maw and thrust.

With all his strength, holding nothing back, Aisi gripped the sharp long blade tightly in his palm and easily pierced the Sunan Ghost's skull, skewering it like a kebab on the blade.

"Roar!" In an instant, the Sunan Ghost let out a wail.

It struggled desperately on the blade.

Blood continuously dripped down Aisi's blade.

"Huh?" Dijia blinked in surprise.

Then he nodded.

Leaning against Aisi, Dijia rushed forward again to grapple with the Sunan Ghost's corpse.

Without its skull, the Sunan Ghost's body saw its combat power plummet.

Especially since the Sunan Ghost's skull had been impaled on Aisi's blade, its vitality vanished quickly.

Aisi brandished the long blade, continually inflicting pain on the Sunan Ghost.

Afterwards.

He flung the Sunan Ghost's skull off the blade.

Then he delivered two more slashes to each side, dismembering the skull even if it were still facing him.

Only a flash of cold light was seen; the Sunan Ghost's skull split into pieces, with a few "pat‑pat" sounds, several chunks of flesh fell to the ground, emitting a sizzling corrosion, black smoke rose, and they quickly turned into a pool of blood that dissolved.

Behind him.

Dijia spread his arms, a purple energy spear condensed before his chest; the light power within him continually flowed and gathered, his hands formed an L shape, from which he released the Ultraman beam—the Zapelio Ray—blasting the Sunan Ghost's corpse into dust.

"We won." Vice Captain Zongfang clenched his fist.

"Good, that's truly great." The Xincheng members cheered below.

In the deep mountains and old forests, the spirit of Jingtianjinglong attached to the long blade witnessed this scene and also nodded slowly.

"People of light, thank you."

Afterwards.

Aisi and Dijia exchanged a glance, each nodding to the other.

One in front, the other behind, they flew up into the sky.

They turned into two meteors and vanished at the horizon.

……

"Truly detestable light giants—30 million years have passed, yet they still claim to be Earth's guardians."

In the darkness, the Jiriaieluode witnessed the entire process.

They really wanted to dispose of these light giants right now and harshly enslave Earthlings.

But before that, they have a more important matter to attend to.

This matter once ignited them.

The anger in their hearts surged, like a tsunami erupting or a volcano exploding.

Compared to the light giants earning humanity's affection as Earth's guardians, this is far more loathsome.

Before dealing with the light giants, they must first take care of this matter.

Otherwise, even if they eliminated the light giants, they would be doing all the work for someone else's benefit.

Purely a thankless effort.

Recently, for some unknown reason, a sect called the Holy Heaven sprang up in human society, spreading rapidly in a short time and gaining a large number of followers; its efficiency surpasses even the speed at which Ultraman defeats monsters to earn humanity's respect.

This left the Jiriaieluode, who often appear as charlatans, feeling vexed.

This is encountering an opponent.

Or perhaps they are standing on their track, seemingly poised to surpass them.

How absurd.

Don't they realize that this planet was already taken a fancy to by the Jiriaieluode god thirty million years ago?

The humans above await the Jiriaieluode's rule!

Holy Heaven, where did these cosmic yokels come from, daring to harvest human faith and attempt to rule all mankind?

They simply don't put the Jiriaieluode in their eyes at all.

The reason we call them cosmic yokels rather than an earthly native sect is

because the Jiriaieluode have conducted infiltration investigations.

They discovered that Holy Heaven possesses multiple civil technologies, its core seemingly a superior cosmic civilization; anyone who chooses to believe in Holy Heaven receives the blessings of the two Holy Spirits in Heaven and is cleansed.

Such behavior makes it hard not to suspect that other invaders in the universe have set their sights on Earth, preparing to enslave Earthlings.

However, compared to barbaric invasion, Holy Heaven's methods are more sophisticated and more patient.

Thus, it truly is a reversal of the cosmic order! If Holy Heaven were to succeed, what would the Jiriaieluode become?

Clearly, they arrived first!

In Ao's world, childhood sweethearts can't resist a heavenly descent?

Ridiculous!

The Girieload people are sharpening their knives, ready to strike.

They are preparing to swallow the Holy Kingdom in one fell swoop.

On this planet.

Besides the slumbering Dark Overlord, they have feared nothing.

As for that Dark Diga from thirty million years ago, he had already left Earth.

They are even less worried.

Besides the Dark Overlord Gatanjeor and the Dark King Diga, the Girieload people are not afraid.

They are just iron-willed cosmic tough guys!

Idiot, bastard!

Now, the Girieload God has already issued a decree.

The invasion of the Holy Kingdom is imminent.

If the other side is sensible, that would be good.

If they are not sensible...

Then we can only let them witness——

The furious look of the Flame Warrior Girieload people.

……

At that time.

Kumamoto City Underground Base.

After Fujimiya Hiroya joined Masaki Keigo's giantization plan.

Masaki Keigo's ultra-ancient light genetic factor converter, with Fujimiya Hiroya's help, has sped up its progress; now only the final step remains to be completed.

However, for this final step, Masaki Keigo did not let Fujimiya Hiroya help.

Because the ultra-ancient light genetic factor converter has actually already been completed.

All that is lacking is a primer; with it he can activate it, fuse with the underground giant stone statue, and transform into the Giant of Light.

And this primer, the best choice at present, is naturally Dagu's Spark Prism.

Masaki Keigo fell into thought.

Dagu probably won't readily hand over the transformation device.

To obtain the Spark Prism, one must think of a way.

And after helping to finish the ultra-ancient light genetic factor converter, Fujimiya Hiroya also marveled at Masaki Keigo's talent.

What a brilliant idea.

And it was successfully built.

From Fujimiya Hiroya's perspective, the ultra-ancient light genetic factor converter has no problems and a high chance of success.

However, no matter how high, it is still Masaki Keigo's idea.

Fujimiya Hiroya has his own ideas.

Darkness will eventually descend.

The Doomsday Sea God lurking in the deep sea may appear at any time.

The darkness spoken of by Masaki Keigo is all the more something we must guard against.

Humanity must make preparations.

And we must also keep watch.

To this end, Fujimiya Hiroya, using Masaki Keigo's resources, built a supercomputer.
