NO.62: Review

As everyone knows, the reason humanity can tower over many beasts, becoming the animal with the largest territory in nature and the greatest impact on the ecosystem, is because of wisdom.

Understanding how to think, understanding how to pursue profit and avoid harm more efficiently, and continually improving the tools at hand, enables oneself and even the group to grow ever stronger.

Even in the highly diversified Holy Terra Federation, the standard for distinguishing beasts from humans remains wisdom, thought, and self.

As long as you can clearly recognize yourself, as long as you know how to think, and even can learn the communication methods of other races, then……even if you have the form of a beast, even if you are an existence soaked in a culture vat, you will still be placed in the 'wise being' column and enjoy the corresponding rights and statutes.

Nevertheless, even so, humanity capable of building a splendid civilization still has to face many biological threats.

Beings that surpass the ordinary beast realm, called monsters, were once images in sci-fi special effects film and television works, but when humanity began exploring the cosmos and facing visitors from other worlds, those images were no longer merely fictional.

Huge size, ferocious visage, enormous destructive power/harm, and crucially beastly habits—these monsters difficult to oppose with ordinary weaponry are called 'monsters'.

Although, with the deepening and expansion of biological research, many professionals have urged refining this vague classification concept of monsters, this does not prevent more laypeople from continuing to reinforce the monster label.

Even the export of it has been realized.

——Not a few cosmic people who originally normally called their own and others' cosmic giant beasts also began in the past decade to chant 'monster'.

This is the monster in the broad sense, hastily lumping together purely artificial factors (gene mutation), natural factors (Earth's native cryptic species), and external factors (cosmic species) into one category.

It is even highly subjective.

Many people will lump in any big, scary-looking fellow; even earlier, numerous demons and even demon gods from the demon realm were once labeled as the 'victims' of defamation.

By contrast, under the narrow sense judgment of monsters, one must weigh the two characters of the word 'monster'.

And the definition once spoken by the Ultraman Knight is undoubtedly the narrowest of the narrow, a super fundamentalist definition.

That is——the so-called monster is an existence that transcends the world's common sense.

What is common sense?

Is it defined by humanity? Is it summarized by wise beings?

No, it is defined based on the rules of this world as the standard.

Don't forget, the Ultraman universe is entirely built upon the foundation of the electronic world.

In another world, its rules themselves remain a mystery whose boundaries are not yet cleared; even some commonsense-like knowledge theorems are, after who knows how many years, subject to overturning as 'temporary cosmic laws'.

But the rules of the electronic world have always been clear.

Monsters are bugs, innately free existences, arising from one-in-a-billion anomalies in countless programs of the electronic world, and then having their nature liberated by the hands of monster users.

This is how monster users solve problems.

They have always been reckless and headstrong, much like the monsters they command themselves.

Destroying, trampling upon established rules and phenomena, and even the living environment called society.

Just as now.

Just like this moment.

Night, heavy rain, lightning, storm.

The only light source is the LED lamps on everyone, in the dark scenery; the dark iridescence and blood-red beams intertwine, forming the most conspicuous light source at present.

That double storm directly shattered Sai Luo, who did not know how to assume a radiant posture, in one fell swoop.

Clearly a gigantic form over a hundred meters tall, yet in the following it displayed agility like that of Guragra, the solid-shot cannon holes on the back of its claws at some point turned into energy, and together with the five fingers constructed a giant light claw up to two hundred meters long.

Shattered electromagnetic beam derived—shattered electromagnetic claw.

Using the emerald-hued irradiation electromagnetic beam emitted from the beam cannon barrel inherent to Gilbaris, under the power of the Ren Dragon and Rainbow Snake it achieved a pseudo‑maintenance, resembling a huge dragon claw extending from the back of the hand.

The claws like blades easily cut off the enormous light ring swung by the Ultraman Knight, and also achieved the flexibility of a true palm, the large five fingers clenching, turning into an enclosure made of electromagnetic beams.

Explosion.

When the booming sound announcing retreat rang out, the Punisher still did not stop his steps.

All happened in a flash; he went from shattering Sai Luo to crushing the Ultraman Knight in just a few seconds, then easily broke free of the bindings that originally covered his whole body, used to stabilize his stance and counteract the recoil of the double storm of dark iridescence.

His steps did not cease; he had already rushed to the rear of Ultraman and Guragra before they could react.

Aomo could see that Black Heidi, using an awkward way of controlling dreams, was inciting these people to brawl; then, because her mockery worked, she completely shifted fire, and after that she also displayed an excellent operation that somewhat surprised Aomo—at one point letting these guys have a bit of coordination.

Clearly each was in their own dream, yet they had once shown a prototype of mutual cooperation; the workload of this split‑line operation should not be low.

What makes this situation even more deadly is: once reality far exceeds expectation, the operation will deform.

Even like now, forgetting the operation, turning into a wooden post for testing damage.

Even becoming a weapon—the Guragra great sword wielded by Nigikalis by pulling its tail, fiercely striking Ultraman.

Finally, in midair, they were torn apart by each other's several gales mixed with thunder, leaving only scattered fragments that dissipated.

In the end, only the Dyna Tyrannosaurus remained.

Its resistance was actually quite orderly, like the behind‑the‑scenes controller finally regaining some state, but it missed the chance to fuse with the Ultraman Knight into the Super‑United Dragon King Emperor Ultraman Knight; the crimson dragon, under the Punisher Dragon, could not even splash a bit.

Being able to end so cleanly also owes to Aomo's grabbing of A Peng, who is a monster user.

Not the case that the other side initially was completely unfamiliar with Aomo; rather, they were especially friendly toward the lost horse, obviously being the main force of the Lost Horse Team, Ma Zhongpeng.

And this also brought the topic back to the initial conversation.

"How long have you been trapped here?"

This passage, which at first left the Holy Sword Warrior puzzled, resumed, and also caused Nigikalis to turn his head in the water‑filled ruins, looking around.

Before going out with A Peng as a pair, there had been a reminder for the Holy Sword Warrior to avoid damage, but when the real battle began, Aomo unusually did not pay much attention to destruction.

I don't know whether the other side was affected……but even if it was truly done in, it's not a big problem.

Sending it out would also be good……Aomo, gazing at this city that is almost flattened, while also trying radar scanning, regrettably saw the sign of an approaching heat source.

"Hey——!" There was even such a sound coming from far away.

This made A Peng wonder and ask: "Aomo‑san, did you hear any sound?"

"It's Mr. Holy Sword," Aomo replied, "he's still alive and heading this way."

"Then——"

But the others haven't really been expelled yet; you saw that, right? Sai Luo, that embarrassing guy, hasn't even woken up—what kind of dream could make him so engrossed?

Uh, should we first notify Holy Sword Sang?

He's not blind or stupid, no need to call him; prepare for repeated combat—this time we must further improve on previous shortcomings.

Right, buy me a few seconds; I want to record a sentence for looped broadcast.

Eh?

Quiet, cough cough… When you wake up, don't rush to wake me and Ma Zhongpeng! Go to Bajiake and wait for it to materialize!
