Chapter 985: with translation of chapter title

NO. 108: What is the final decision that was made?

The youth actually had considered the opportunity at hand.

All along, they have been suppressing those negative emotions deep inside, even locking away that past self deep within the heart, and thus they do not become a wholesome, upward, sunny, open-minded big boy because of that.

In the Terra Federation's religious studies and source-energy studies, categories such as devils and demons that are not clearly distinguished are always inseparable from the soul.

Among them, there are even specific groups that truly fit the definition of 'physiognomy': their appearance reflects the state of the soul.

The family of Aomo Lindun's paternal bloodline is also one of them.

For Aomo Lindun after his bloodline awakening, his demonized form is the most direct outward manifestation of the soul's appearance.

Black and white intertwined, stern and ferocious, with sharp claws, a long tail like a cone, and crystal patterns like cracks spreading from the chest to the limbs.

Though it still matches people's impression of a frightful image accompanied by sulfur and scorching heat, whether it's the cold-toned glow or the arc-shaped patterns, they only evoke thoughts of moon scars.

There is no scorching heat, and it cannot even make one feel warm.

The icy silver sheen even has a pallid hue, flowing through the crystal like wounds or cracks, reflecting its inability to become the sun.

Even when returning to human form, a crescent-moon-like silver strand remains on his forehead, as if the Ma'er girls beside him had dyed him with a 'meteor' pattern.

Many people around him think it's a nice decorative touch, but such words are clearly insufficient to hypnotize himself.

He clearly knows that is a kind of alarm.

Like the symptoms of a patient, as an 'external manifestation of a problem,' it reminds him not to have too many illusions.

Borrowed light ultimately cannot generate heat, and simulated light can only be used for illumination.

He has never been a cheerful, sunny person; even when he gets serious, his state is not as fervent as Bi Ze's hot-bloodedness.

Past experiences have shaped his present personality, and the negative feelings accumulated deep inside can even create a constant state of coldness and gloom.

But…

If one were to take advantage of this moment to completely escape the negativity, simply draw a clear line, even outright destroy them all……

Then……

——

Briefly sandwiched between the Ultra Dragon King Fusion Ultraman. Warrior Emperor King Gult and the Ultra Fusion Knight. Full Power Gult Knight.

These two, following Aomo's orders, achieved the currently optimal fused form; on the left they were playing 'UNION' (4s Gult OP), on the right they were playing 'Imperfect' (4s Denkoukiou OP).

For a moment, Nigicalis seemed out of place because he hadn't turned on the onboard sound system.

"Little Snake?"

Noticing that 'not turning on the onboard sound system' also didn't match Aomo's personality, Shinjou Sai felt somewhat worried.

"Lindun, are you okay?!"

In front of the kimo pervert shouting 'Gult is mine!', the Warrior Emperor King Gult, who couldn't just stand there, had already raised a blazing light beam that spewed from his fingertips, making his whole palm look like beastly claws, yet from that fierce claw strike came a concerned voice like a lost horse.

He, who can exist as the team's elder brother, possesses a keenness not inferior to Aomo's.

But the battlefield is ultimately no place to have leisure to care for others; after asking that, he must cooperate with his teammates—using his already far superior size compared to chaos, he delivers a vicious knee strike and punches to the source of chaos, then a turning flying kick!

This also counts as Aomo's adjustment design for Gult's fighting style and rhythm.

As long as the supporting armor fusion is fast enough, one can skip the awkward back-and-forth and fast-forward to achieving a crushing dominance even before emotions erupt.

Meanwhile, the Full Power Gult Knight merely shouted 'Focus on battle!', then would cleave with the Gult Holy Sword the arm-blade destroying beam waved out by the three-stage Gurira.

——That was originally Timoru's skill, whose prototype is actually Gult's beam.

Among those who strengthen themselves via 'big eating, special eating', Gurira instead finds itself in the most awkward stage.

Because whether it's Demon God Zero or the Source of Chaos, they only need energy.

What form the energy takes doesn't matter; they are quite satisfied with their skill set and have no intention of adding new inferior skills.

On the contrary, the three-stage Gurira, aside from the light beams, light balls, and vortices derived from its own dark thunderstorm energy, other skills depend on fodder quality.

The Gurira in the Exus scene obviously eats the best, having a rich variety of monster types and skills to feast on; conversely, although the Zeta scene eats less, it also eats well—Jie De Ultraman is excellent fodder. jpg

By contrast, in this electronic world, Gurira should have had other 'Aomo-type' counterparts to eat, but after the vessel awakened and began controlling monsters as a monster controller, making them use mass-produced monsters as shields, it deliberately avoided Gurira.

It was like being kicked into a cheap buffet.

The Source of Chaos itself mass-produces Timoru, Domukiran, and Black Doctrine based on Gult's own data—these are all food it can casually scoop up.

But no matter how much of that is scooped up, it only yields those few skills.

There is nothing new; it merely provides energy to boost stats.

The replication ability is originally a rare talent for this race to experience a 'physical' state, allowing it to stretch its fists and feet, used to counter threats inevitably encountered in that state.

But because it only eats mass-produced grunts, it is greatly limited, and now, as the Full Power Gult Knight rushes forward, repeatedly slashing with the Gult Holy Sword, it gradually becomes unable to retreat.

Moreover, at this moment behind it are Gakura and the 'Don't Be Careless' monster Grey Jom raising blade-like limbs.

——This is Chen and Shi Jia.

In contrast, the badger and Apon, together with the Warrior Emperor King Gult, cooperate in beating up the certain person who is the mastermind behind everyone falling into this crisis.

Both sides are moving toward a good scene, only Nigicalis and Demon God Zero on this side——

Boom!

Another collision lifts the battlefield into the sky, yet shockwaves and turbulent air currents often come out together with dark clouds.

Even mixed with flying metal, it falls onto some part of the battlefield, causing continuous earthquakes.

Except for the badger lying prone while controlling monsters, everyone else often needs to prepare in advance to withstand the violent shaking that makes them able to stand firm, and the whole battlefield is breaking apart in an irreparable direction.

The shattered earth, with successive surges of groundwater and magma, cooling and eroding each other; even the Warrior Emperor King Gult's high-output repair beam cannot keep up with such frequent destruction.

At some point, it became a group of people who had to look up at the horizon, anxiously watching the duel between the Punishing Dragon and the Apocalyptic Demon God.

The former merely bears many more scars of battle damage, while the latter remains immaculate thanks to the demon god power called 'Regeneration,' and even its size silently increased by tens of meters.

If on the ground, he could easily look down upon the Warrior Emperor King Gult and Full Power Gult Knight as giant robots, even surpassing the horned Nigicalis above.

But here is above six thousand meters in the air.

Two beings able to fly are already unimaginable; mechanical giant gods that completely violate aerodynamic design are now astonishingly fast and agile, continuously colliding, exchanging energy waves, and repeatedly launching flight devices.

Moreover, at the moment they crossed past each other, one raised a hand into a claw, the other, with a blade-bearing tail, intertwined and collided, then traced an arc that seemed extremely high in G-force, and once again collided with fists.

Bang!

Cracks reappeared on each other's fists; Nijikalisi possesses Jierbalisi's self-repair function, but that function's efficiency is far inferior to the opponent's demon god power regeneration.

In this high altitude lacking metal material absorption, if it wants to sustain damage it must land to find materials.

And as soon as it lands…

The crackling electric current sound originates from the expanding light force in the opponent's slit eyes; that lightning tree, almost visible to everyone on the ground and filling the sky, in the next second's explosion becomes a violent temperature difference that seems to raise the air below by ten degrees.

"Qian! Gather the atmosphere!"

"Ah, yes!"

Although called a cockpit, it is actually a complete union where each cannot see the other, which is the Demon King Fusion Beast form that Aomo Lindun has always used.

Therefore, even if Xintiao Qian's body is merely mortal, G-forces are irrelevant.

Even the senses synchronized with the whole giant beast can withstand such an abnormal and suicidal extreme maneuver as sharp-angle maneuvering.

But likewise—

The splitting pain from the finger joints, the dull ache in the chest, the stabbing pain felt all over from the opponent's corrosive hurricane…

That initially vague feeling, as operational permissions are gradually opened according to the battle's intensity.

What the youth can feel, she can also feel.

She knows this is not what the opponent hopes for; Xiaoshe initially did not assign her much work, but as the battle intensity increased, even Demon God Zero gradually drew energy from the battle to the present.

Xiaoshe had to move the battlefield from ground to sky, because if Demon God Zero were to attack those few weakly defended members of the team at this moment.

One strike could take them away.

Conversely, if this side wants to take Him away…

Actually, taking Him away is quite simple.

As long as He, Gui She, and Shijia return to the mouth of Gugula, and we guard the Monster Warship well, the side with overall advantage can directly initiate the Aopeng Traditional Stage of concentrated fire on the boss.

Even Qian could come up with this strategy, but Xiaoshe just hasn't done it.

It's not that it cannot be understood…

In this state, she indeed gradually can feel that the opponent's inner turmoil is far less calm than their steady appearance.

He is hesitating over what, he is torn over what; that indecision keeps him from being in form, and indeed he has been out of form since the start.

Emotions have not fully returned; with only memory, it feels like watching TV, lacking realism—such a Xiaoshe willing to fight, even inviting himself, is already quite bizarre.

Perhaps it truly is the hot-blooded courage and love he speaks of, but perhaps it's more likely out of efficiency considerations; if it's Xiaoshe…

But even if that is the case…

"Xiaoshe."

"What?"

"No matter what you decide to do, I will support you!"

"... That blind?"

"……If you like something you'll be blind; not being blind means you don't like enough."

"Um… I wasn't intentionally eavesdropping on you guys, just you opened the public mic… Anyway, Aomo-san, if you're troubled about something, can we trust you?"

Yutai suddenly popped up, somewhat embarrassed, and this embarrassment also shifted from him to here.

Fortunately, someone is completely unembarrassed, laughing like a maniac and saying: "Yeah, sophomore, if you have any plan needing everyone's help, don't be so polite!"

"Technically we can totally help." Jiaqizi Guang said via the channel.

"Also, Miss Suzi and her group seem to be looking for a chance to act." Gulite also spoke.

"Aomo-san! What should we do!" Obviously Zhongpeng Ma from within Jialatelong, speaking more bluntly.

These cacophonous remarks even made one forget the tense atmosphere, prompting the youth to call a halt; after the battlefield, he took a deep breath.

"... Well… let's give it a try."

"How to do it? Or repair the light beam?" Qian asked.

"No, charge!"

"Oh!!"

She responded like an excited child; the next moment, anyone below paying attention to the sky could see the meteor plummeting straight down.

It is indeed a meteor, even carrying a swift flame stream.

It traced a trajectory where Nijikalisi, heedless of everything, directly embraced Demon God Zero's waist and slammed into the ground.

And in that trajectory, within the seemingly burning airflow, a tiny figure shot out from the dragon's snout, aiming at the heat-resistant plate of Demon God Zero's chest armor nearby, and stabbed out the 'Weapon'.

That was a slender, sharp, dark-red crystal spur.

It is the tip of the Beta Magic Blade, capable of activating the Beta System, serving as a medium that replaces the Hei'an Ring to release Monster Card power and reorganize.

Now, it is also time for another transformation.

In the activation sound nearly identical to that of the Beta Magic Wand.

White light directly merged into Demon God Zero's body, then converged onto the piece of azure crystal on its head.

That is Demon God Zero's cockpit.

Countless cables and expanding internal structures compress it, just as the armored fighter that was once to be controlled by Demon God Zero did, wrapping around the demon seated in the seat.

But he, using the tip of the Beta Magic Blade again, stabbed toward his own chest's arc-shaped crystal.

The piercing whine of something being cut rang out again; this time, the demon turned into white light, vanishing inside the cockpit, yet not appearing elsewhere.

And the next second's Demon God Zero was struck squarely to the ground by Gilbalis, whose back had been completely pierced by a blade.

From the collapse of the overloaded continental crust's large-area collapse, Gilbalis barely flew out of the pit, absorbing the surroundings to fully repair itself.

And that Demon God ZERO, together with the Aomo that had disappeared for a moment, fell into silence.
