Chapter 739: NO．108：When There Are Only Three Participants, You Can Make the Top Three

NO. 108: When there are only three contestants, you can make it into the top three.

Just like many ghost and deity legends of the Sacred Terra Federation have prototypes, and can even be treated as canon.

The setting of the story titled 'Superman Fantasy' also has countless real-existing ghostly and divine entities.

There are also no shortage of special existences that have arrived from other worlds.

Even certain beings that descended to Earth in ancient times, mistaken by humans as monsters and recorded in old texts as 'alien misunderstandings,' have been passed down to this day.

But these mentioned existences ultimately converge into one in the story.

Following the representative of that faction, they went to another world.

The human society of that world could not accommodate them, and their gamble-like choice ultimately led to a true miracle occurring.

—Led by Guiye Xiaomei, this batch of otherworldly strange guests arrived at the Heaven Gate City and returned to their Earth, both familiar and unfamiliar.

It also brought Oumu the same unfamiliar yet familiar material essence.

"Little Snake, although expanding material classification is good, this card pool... it's actually not free, is it?"

"Indeed..."

Looking at the printed ghost-faced woman in hand, then at the sweaty Xi holding the human card with an iron plate on her head, Oumu's voice from behind the iron mask carried a hint of regret.

Mazalas Star People, aquatic monster Taipet.

In more understandable terms, they are Ghost Woman (Hannya) Alien and Kappa Monster.

Shipped from the 'Extra Card Pool' constructed from Leo Ultraman's Earth Report and Seven Ultraman's Planetary Observation Documents.

By the way, these two are also the tea cart and Suzi's lever shipment.

As for Bourbon, he gazed meaningfully at his empty hands.

—Even with materials, it only increases shipment chances. Oumu knew this, but still encountered his first no-shipment situation.

If it weren't for his usual lack of performance, he'd suspect Bourbon's electric killer curse still lingered, but the fact remains: whether it's him or Bourbon himself, they must accept that someone just has bad luck.

Hmm... what should I say? This kid doesn't get along well with yokai; why not try those two vials of alien material we said we'd seal?

He turned to look at Xi holding those two materials; she was bending to place them into the storage freezer.

Oumu wasn't in a rush to spend all the 'currency' at once, but wanted to wait until the monster card pool opened further before deciding.

—Mainly because, in the current card pool database's monster and alien lists, prototypes involving yokai are mostly not impressive.

Mazalas Star People already count as SR, and such SRs are rare.

So the answer is only one!

I'm not like those self-degrading guys—I want to save the well... no, I want to wait for the future card pool!. jpg

Just by doing this...

Oumu doesn't give multiple draw chances, making Bourbon, who also spends materials on draws with no shipment, look comparatively awkward.

"Master, confirm status adjustment to 'Calm,' it's fine."

Such an obedient child... Oumu gently raised his hand, intending to pat the other's head, but seeing the layered gaps in the iron hand, he still refrained.

Instead, he turned to look at the two girls who shipped—those two also had rather subtle expressions, clearly not satisfied with their draw results.

Taipet is a creature with no special abilities, merely amphibious, with a head-mounted cannon, an alien biological weapon, its strength quite average—even losing in underwater combat to Seven, needing to resort to sneak tactics to barely win.

Besides looking like a kappa, its status in the monster hierarchy is as awkward as a kappa's in yokai society, completely failing to spark Suzi's research interest.

Better than another kappa monster: Kappa Kawano, at least that one is truly an earth-native kappa—capable of making Suzi feel a bit of research enthusiasm.

After all, such rural lake and river creatures are rarely seen in school.

Though Mazalas Star People appear as Hannya (Japanese vengeful spirit-type yokai), even holding a giant naginata on the card face, they are actually thoroughgoing aliens.

Possessing mimicry and transformation abilities, they can seek and traverse interdimensional worlds through mirrors, capable of mental illusion via both eyes—truly, functionality is strong; it's hard to say if it's strong or weak, but it definitely makes you nauseous.

From the user's perspective, Oumu still thinks it's pretty good, with the charm of a 'secret technique brother.'

He can still try combining her with vengeful ghost entities later.

But for the card drawer...

Chazao, who longs for new ghost monster friends, has fallen into a brief state of not adjusting.

"So it's actually aliens..."

This is what Xi sighed about—the regret limited by the card pool.

Although the instrument's database has undergone several rounds of expansion, it remains limited to the Land of Light's scope, i. e., the Ultraman universe.

As everyone knows, the Ultraman Tsuburaya worldview may not lack gods, ghosts, and monsters, but it's mostly tied to monsters and aliens.

Monsters like Love Ghost, Sukuna Ghost, Enma Go (Yenlo Monster) are still rare.

Even if you hold pure yokai material, you still draw aliens or monsters—just as Oumu holding the mixed Xi, Ling, Zhi material concept couldn't draw a Great Flame God-related card, but instead produced some inexplicable thing.

Rainbow Snake God... although information can be found in transmigrator channels, no matter how you think, it doesn't belong to the 'illustration range' of the 'card pool' I've poured in.

If no corresponding match exists, will the instrument database naturally extend?

Recently, he's been reading books like 'Monsterology Prelude Discourse,' 'Non-Evil Divine Beast Biography,' 'Local Monster Chronicles,' etc., trying to confirm whether this world corresponds to 'Blaze Ultraman.'

Because these are the books he extracted and confirmed from information.

All that's missing is that book 'Monster's Eye,' and the appearance of Professor Wanxiang Yokomine, who should be searchable.

Until now, this missing part remains unfilled.

He has to admit: this world is probably not the one where Cosmic Apes reside.

Because without real-world related information proof, just a few same-named books aren't enough to prove anything.

After all, the 'world convergence' concept has been proven by interdimensional exploration, so such coincidences aren't surprising.

Same planet names, highly similar regional cultures, even same-name same-experience celebrities, great figures, and their works—when Tianmen can achieve stable passage, interdimensional exploration and communication work gradually develops, and the theory named 'Interdimensional Convergence' arises, unstoppable.

Of course, this theory can further differentiate into parallel world development theories, plus causal reversal—precisely because of convergence, Tianmen (the gate to other worlds) connects worlds.

In other words, it's a kind of survivor bias.

The evidence is that there are still some world-hopping travelers with vastly different worldviews, although their numbers are so rare as to be described as "scattered," but they do indeed exist, and it is very difficult to send them home—even if the Heavenly Gate locates a world suspected to be their homeland, it cannot stabilize the passage.

But this is not important to Aomo.

What matters is that the "Convergence of Worlds Theory" has not been overturned, and it is not surprising that different worlds would have works with the same title.

Well, actually, whether the Savage of Light exists or not is not that important either.

He just wanted to see it himself.

Setting aside this personal desire, what is most important from a public standpoint is still proving the similarity between the two sides in terms of monsters.

After all, although he gets along quite well with Ultraman, their power compatibility is vastly different—even the Ultraman Philis in the archives, in casual conversation, lightly remarked with words that conveyed the harshest truth:

"Although Ultramen often fuse with humans in emergencies, compatibility is still important, and it can even affect the exertion of power."

"And your existence, like that of Mr. Gargula, is truly quite unique."

Does that mean no one is willing to choose you as a human host?

Then so be it. jpg

Grandpa goes to find the Dark Giant (crossed out).

Although his heart felt a little empty, Aomo, who showed no particular sadness in his words, merely re-examined his own "position."

There was not much change; still taking monsters as the central premise, the world similarities he cared about still revolved around "monsters."

Although there is no Savage of Light, if it could be proven that monster ecology has similarities, it would still be useful information.

He actually originally just wanted to prove that this world should have some traces of the Rainbow Serpent God, just like the "Heavenly Bow Rainbow Shadow" heard in those prayers before, thereby further proving that the gacha machine was not infected with a virus or bug—

—that is to say, the gacha pool did not produce strange things, but rather a hidden gacha pool triggered after incorporating local information.

Otherwise, the unknown gacha drops would indeed be both anticipated and unsettling.

He continued to browse those books for this reason, only unfortunately the works themselves did not mention the content of those few books, and the world-hoppers could not provide information, so he could only compare the monster costumes appearing in the plays within the books—efficiency was very low.

After all, it is a work of the new generation, short in length, with few monsters.

Although there are not a few new monsters, limited by length they did not go far, and he, who focused on noting records possibly related to the Rainbow Serpent God, gained nothing at all.

In the end, he went to register the app commonly used by divine officials, and by searching for the prayer words of the "Heavenly Bow Rainbow Shadow God" he had heard before, he found some small faith records among over ten thousand messages.

Moreover, it was tinged with the light of Australian faith and South American faith; otherwise, there would not even be a single entry—clearly an unorthodox local faith at first glance.

There was no definite divine image, nor had the priesthood been fully organized; compared to a deity, it was more like the pre-stage of a deity's birth—reverence and worship of nature.

That…

This is basically just getting started!

No wonder he kept calling so frequently, as if this world's Rainbow Serpent God was just in his own hands—turns out, it really is only the one in his hands?

Rather, it might be said that originally there was only an outline, and even the image was still whatever creations were current at the time; the card he drew himself was what truly gave that scattered faith a unified "vessel," so he was bestowed with that divine office, matching in power and form?

After reading through the many theories in the app, Aomo finally arrived at this speculation.

But……uh……

It seems……not quite right?

Where would a deity come from that has so few followers yet enjoys such a high divine status?

And it's still a new god……

It's literally like the Umastagram account of an undebuted junior high school horse girl who has only a few fans, yet already has the permit status that would only be granted to a Triple Crown horse girl by the officials.

Is the allocation of positions in this world's divine realm… a bit problematic?

In the past, because he had not considered the profession of divine officials, he had not paid much attention to the current state of the divine realm; although he did not care about the number of followers, only wanting to confirm that this world indeed had faith in the Rainbow Serpent God, he could not help but question this mistaken entry into the industry.

How can an account with so few followers have such high permit rights? Where is the problem?

Shouldn't there be many gods of natural worship in various regions? Which round did a newcomer get a permit, and isn't there anyone sitting?

Hmm……

No one sitting……
