NO. 105: What is the all-out effort preparation?

As a commander, one often faces the awkward situation of a lopsided balance of power between friend and foe.

Confirming exactly how many usable cards one has in hand is always crucial.

《Royal Battle Team Sovereign》's Lacules·Hasty once gave guidance——when one's hand lacks enough cards, drawing from the opponent is also an option.

At this moment, Aomo, due to not having recovered enough cards, emotions, and memories, was still unable to receive this instruction, but this did not prevent him from thinking:

When the disparity between friend and foe is too great, muddying the waters is not a bad tactic for gaining a chance to catch one's breath.

When facing the sharpest sword under heaven, finding the sturdiest shield under heaven is likewise a natural choice.

And in Aomo Lindun's superficial understanding of the current situation, there is indeed an operation that can satisfy both of the above needs at once:

That is to yank out the chaotic source that has fallen underground and shown no movement, which is likely playing dead!

Demon God Zero is indeed powerful, but it still exists in a developmental stage.

Even if the world's monster concept simulates the 'Seven Demon God Powers,' it can at best be ninety percent or even eighty percent similar, but such similarity cannot let it surpass the original within ten minutes.

But it cannot be denied that monster energy is truly a great tonic.

In the process of directly smashing and absorbing, as well as finding opportunities to absorb others' beam energy for self-replenishment, Demon God Zero swiftly rose from a height of 80 meters to 357 meters—a clear sign of being fully energized.

This altitude is also why, when he releases light-force beams at Gulte, he aims them at the ground, resulting in coverage of a super-large area AOE.

Therefore, we need to pull out the Chaos Source.

The apocalyptic Demon God and the apocalyptic monster.

The former constantly evolves, scattering destruction in its evolution.

The latter likewise constantly evolves; though it bears the ability of countless monster seeds, it is merely neglected in application, and its very self is so thick‑skinned and sturdy as to be called the character with the longest health bar at present.

Compared to that Sai Luo Ultraman who relied on external devices to become an infinite form, got punched in the face by Demon God Zero, grabbed, slammed to the ground, and feigned death—so strong it's beyond comparison—although feigning death was Aomo's order.

Without a doubt, although Demon God Zero, by virtue of that very emotion, simulates the 'Demon God' concept and approaches the world's status ceiling infinitely, the true status ceiling of this world is still the Chaos Source, as the phenomenon of overproducing monster derivatives.

And the true form of Gulte, which fuses the entire multiverse.

These two hold the highest authority, yet one does not know how to use it, and the other is imprisoned.

Fortunately, the former can be used as a target to divert Demon God Zero's attention, reducing our side's pressure, while the latter……

It should appear after the former suffers a heavy blow.

But even so, something is still missing.

Logically, the FixerBeam/Repair Beam, which can repair everything and even purify the human heart, is precisely the bane of the pure‑darkness Demon God Zero.

Moreover, the Chaos Source lacks the spare capacity to press on Aomo, allowing him to normally retrieve his other emotions and memories.

But that premise also requires the other party to be willing to submit meekly.

Even if Gulte returns now in a brand‑new, flashy form with countless LED lights, it is still evidently inferior in combat technique and move variety to the combat‑specialized Demon God Zero.

Aomo has never been so troubled by his talent in piloting operations—the setting that Demon God Zero 'possesses its own consciousness' manifests on the monster Demon God Zero as a relentless pursuit of destruction while continually drawing the lingering darkness and emotions from other Aomo‑series monsters after their death, thereby making Aomo Lindun ever more complete.

One could even say that, if we continue to let it proceed like this, the youth who serves as its vessel will become nothing more than a stand‑in!

The ever‑growing 'id' will ultimately crush and devour the 'ego' and 'superego,' achieving the extreme path that aligns with the Beast King's road.

Not to mention that this would also mean one's own disappearance; Aomo merely feels that walking the path others have taken, and being the most boring, tedious destroyer of oneself, is simply too uninteresting.

After he has seen several versions of 'himself' and realized that there are many such selves in this world, it becomes hard not to feel that any self who still holds some expectation for the world would not tolerate falling into such a state.

Even the Beast King, who appears muscle‑brained but actually makes many small moves, has more observational value than such a self.

So let us return our train of thought to the judgment of the current battlefield.

Without a doubt, Demon God Zero is the strongest combatant at present.

With a status that is not supreme but continually rising in value and combat skill, it ranks alongside Gulte Cosmic Warrior and the Chaos Source, and even fails to become the ultimate shining Sai Luo Ultraman; relying solely on oneself and portable enhancement devices, the limit is merely Shining Sai Luo (and only for a limited time) above.

It must be targeted, and preferably dealt with first.

The sooner, the better!

Moreover, resolving it itself is also a completion of the self.

Therefore, we need to open a passage that allows Gulte's repair beam to reach directly and continuously.

It must have a strong control effect lasting at least three seconds.

It is worth mobilizing everyone present.

Gulte Knights, the time‑limited transformable shining Sai Luo, Super Xenon, Dyna Zenon, Gakura, Gulte, Alexis Kailifu, and the remaining monsters on hand that can be temporarily controlled:

Bemonstan, Airu King, Eye Q, Alriponta, Reginade, Meruba, Impraza, Behemoth, and——

Even if subjected to the Chaos Source's yin‑yang reversal, Grilza is still feasting heartily, as if also trying to catch up to Demon God Zero's intensity!

Besides this, the members of the monster eugenics ideology who are each riding monsters scattered abroad (including Apon) must also prepare to return at any moment to Gakura's mouth, lowering the chance of being caught and killed alone, while also preparing to enable Gakura's second‑stage power‑up.

Of course, preparations for separation and escape must likewise be made.

Aomo attempts to teach the art of separation and fusion from the Getter set to this gang who have not yet suffered a loss at Dyna Zenon's hands.

But even so, Gilbalis, whose 'plan calculation' shares the same principle as Demon God Zero's 'high‑order prediction,' gives a result that is not very optimistic.

There is only a thirty percent chance, and even after factoring in operating the Chaos Source as well, the probability rises to only forty percent.

At least add another ten percent, right?

This isn't like drawing a card; if it fails, it's not just digging a well—it's playing the multiverse to its end.

Aomo feels the probability should be raised a bit more.

So indeed, we must still count ourselves together with everyone here.

Including the second generation, and also Umi, who ought to have been sent together with Rokka into the second generation's cockpit.

To this end, he has an idea to let Umi play a greater role.

Not only as a cheer squad, but also as a means to genuinely develop his heroic complex, erupting with emotional force no less than that of Hibiki Yuta.

In this world, emotion is power……

Compared to the so-called bonds in the audience seats, the camaraderie of comrades who personally take the field can unleash a million roof tiles!

So he contacted another 'god' through divine revelation, and Alexis Kailifu.

Furthermore, he contacted those in this war-torn city who, by jury-rigging DIACLONE mechs, had kept themselves safe—Liùhuā's mother, the princess's Kaisaki Hikari, and the second generation in the opposing sky fleet.

The first two teamed up with Neihai in a relay, while the latter two met up with Liùhuā.

In the midst of everyone doing their duty, of course we couldn't overlook our own ability to play a card as well.

「Xiǎoshé! 」

In the place where the Radiant Wing Flame Dragon had set down, it was barely intact, just a slightly askew corner of the edge building; gazing as the former flew toward the Ultraman Knight, and then merging with the Dyna Dragon to become: Super Combined Dragon King. KAISERGRIDKNIGHT/Emperor Ultraman Knight at that moment, the youth heard the sound and turned his head, and saw that pink hair which left him slightly stunned—perhaps it could no longer be called a fiancée at this moment.

But it didn't affect their way of getting along.

«You've come, dressed just as in the simulation—it suits you perfectly. »

«Hasn't Xiǎoshé also changed into the same? »

«…»

He remained silent; from the time when he was first swallowed by the dragon serpent, a pattern had already appeared on his wrist, and after personally defeating Hei'an Tiga and Gilbarris, it had become an actual Serpent-pattern Moon Drop Bracelet, from which he pulled out a white coat with gold tassels.

Using the same motion module as the leader of the Great Crimson Lotus Corps donning the coat, he cleanly slipped it on, then immediately raised his hand to her: «Are you ready? »

«Mm! »

Placing the finger covered by the white glove into the other's palm, the girl narrowed her eyes and burst into a delighted smile.

Adding that halo-like head ornament, it gave the youth, whose feelings were still incomplete, a few moments of distracted illusion.

But for the commander who constantly remembered he was still on the battlefield, such absent‑mindedness was nothing more than an instant.

«Well then, let's go as well. »

He said, raising the fingertips of his left hand, which spread like a fan to flip open three cards; they rose into mid‑air under the pull of magic, and were precisely pierced by the red crystal on the fist dagger he held.

«MizunoenoRyuu, Nijikagachi, Gillvalis. »

The three racing horse girls who would undoubtedly pay attention to this situation—even if they were merely watching remotely via the internet—each contributed a line of voice that, in the already‑completed recording, blended into three harmonies:

«Heavenly Authority Judgment. Nijikalis! »
