Chapter 173: 169 The Void Beast Rages Across the World

"Crack… crack." At the center of the deserted island, the exploding Boga rumus blazed like a sun.

The energy waves it radiated twisted the air around it, cracked the earth beneath, and set the island's trees ablaze with scorching winds.

This scene was the perfect omen of the world's end.

"Shh!" The first-form Gliza let out a chaotic, disordered laugh and darted toward Boga rumus, its body wrapped in surreal light.

The next instant, the world fell silent.

The deadly energy waves vanished. Boga rumus vanished too.

It had been swallowed by Gliza, utterly erased in nothingness, leaving not a trace of its existence.

Boga rumus: confirmed dead.

The energy capable of shattering half the Earth, along with the alien cell matter it could never fully digest, was completely consumed by Gliza.

The threat of Earth's destruction was lifted.

After devouring Boga rumus, Gliza hovered motionless in midair.

The chilling laughter had grown much quieter, as if digesting the immense energy it had just consumed.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!" Bazanjia, sensing danger, raised its arms and fired blue thorns at Gliza, seeking to strike first.

But Gliza was like a mirage—every blue thorn passed cleanly through its body without causing any damage.

This was a void beast: under normal circumstances, it could not be hit at all.

It surged toward Bazanjia, the source of the earlier energy surge, wrapping it in surreal light.

"Ugh…" Bazanjia let out a sharp, frantic cry, feeling as though it were trapped in deep mud, unable to escape no matter how it struggled.

Its resistance was futile. Ten seconds later, its existence was erased by Gliza.

Bazanjia: confirmed dead, instantly obliterated by Gliza.

"Aaaah…" The starfish finally realized the gravity of the situation and rolled into a ball, desperately fleeing away.

Yes, the starfish was running.

The powerful monster that had once forced Blazer Ultraman into frantic retreat now fled without hesitation.

Gliza would not let such a creature brimming with life energy escape—it immediately gave chase.

Two "balls" fled and pursued, but Gliza's speed was clearly greater; it caught up instantly, wrapping the starfish in surreal light.

Through the light, one could faintly see the starfish's dying silhouette writhing.

It unleashed every technique—electromagnetic lightning flashed wildly—but not a single bolt struck Gliza.

It could devour you, yet you could not harm it—the disparity between enemy and ally was absolute.

Eighteen seconds later, the starfish vanished, completely consumed.

Gliza won this "ball battle" with overwhelming superiority.

The way it obliterated everything it faced—swift, clean, merciless—sent chills down Hikari's spine.

"What exactly is this thing…?"

The next instant, Gliza surged toward Hikari, the nearest target.

Is it coming for me?

The first target of this glowing sphere had been Boga rumus—the one about to explode, with the most obvious energy signature.

The second had been Bazanjia, which had actively displayed combat energy…

And its complete immunity to external influence… Could it be that thing?

Hikari realized what this glowing "sea urchin" truly was—his vast experience saved his life.

Hikari instantly deactivated his transformation, reverting to his human form.

He lay motionless on the ground, reducing his life activity to the barest minimum.

Gliza froze, immediately abandoning him, and turned toward 【Chaos Eubris】.

Indeed, this thing prioritized targets with the strongest life energy—Hikari breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Facing the charging Gliza, 【Chaos Eubris】 fired wave after wave of energy projectiles—still none could land.

It realized that such a monster could never be incorporated into the "new order of unified will" it sought to establish.

With this thought, 【Chaos Eubris】 changed tactics and turned to flee.

It rose into the air and sped rapidly toward the heavens.

The three monsters that had once stood impregnable before Ultraman Mebius collapsed instantly upon meeting Gliza.

Gliza pursued 【Chaos Eubris】 relentlessly, leaving the island and flying into space.

…………………………

Through the windows of the Atides, clear views showed grotesque black figures—Dinozuru clans rushing toward Earth.

But after the recent incident, the three in the command room could not help but lose focus.

"I wonder what's happening on Earth right now—it's so unsettling," even Soldier Shan Zhong, usually careless, couldn't help muttering.

Zhu Zhu Xingtuan spoke gravely: "Focus on the enemy before you. Trust the Ultramen on Earth."

Hui Mei, eyes fixed on the screen: "Wait—the spatial energy level is now 3."

Soldier Shan Zhong glared at her: "Hui Mei, are you awake? This isn't the time for jokes."

Hui Mei's voice changed: "I'm not joking. The spatial energy level is now 2."

Soldier Shan Zhong: "I heard An Tian say spatial energy can never drop below level 5. Either you're insane, or the world is."

Hui Mei: "It's still falling—now it's level 1…"

Zhu Zhu Xingtuan's face darkened. Leaning on his cane, he strode "clack-clack-clack" to Hui Mei's side, staring at the plummeting spatial energy with shock.

Soldier Shan Zhong joined him. All of them watched as the spatial energy dropped to level 0.

"This… this can't be. It's not scientific," Soldier Shan Zhong stammered.

Hui Mei: "Look over there!"

There, 【Chaos Eubris】 burst out from Earth and appeared near the Atides.

But no one found it terrifying now—it looked like a stray dog.

The next instant, Gliza caught up and swallowed it in surreal light.

Complete consumption. Erased into nothingness. No possibility of revival.

Yes, this portion of the Chaos Virus had been utterly destroyed!

Hui Mei's voice trembled uneasily: "What… what is that?"

Zhu Zhu Xingtuan's expression shifted violently: "Spatial energy at zero means nothingness. Could it be… that thing?"

As a planetary observer with vast knowledge, he had guessed what it was.

It was a concept. A meme. Absolute nothing.

It was the Cosmic Hole!

Soldier Shan Zhong: "That glowing object must be another monster—two monsters fighting each other?"

Zhu Zhu Xingtuan roared: "Go! Get away from that thing—get as far as you can!"

Soldier Shan Zhong was baffled. Their commander had led them to face over a hundred Dinozuru warriors—but now he fled from this glowing monster.

Was there something inside that light more terrifying than all hundred Dinozuru combined?
