Ch 177: Super Fusion, Despair

“Pull yourself together!”

“Don’t slack off!”

Ye Wusheng forcefully suppressed his sorrow, roaring at everyone.

The intense explosion caused Saurus to lose three tentacles, and the Thunder weakened with the tentacles’ disappearance, creating a brief respite for the Divine Mecha.

This explosion shattered Saurus’s attempt at a surprise attack.

But in an instant, the tentacles regenerated, continuing their assault on the Divine Mecha.

Everyone recovered from their grief, charging forward relentlessly.

“Damn it!”

“Stop it!”

Inside the Divine Mecha, they only saw one firework after another igniting before their eyes, then disappearing. From this moment, they finally understood what their ancestors had persevered for.

“Beep, convergence complete!”

“Overpowered Piercing Laser!”

“Blast it!”

The long-charged Overpowered Piercing Laser finally converged, all anger and sorrow transforming into energy at the cannon muzzle.

The soaring, dark green shockwave swept through everything around, and everyone’s gaze sharpened as they quickly moved away from Saurus.

The dazzling energy column shattered spatial barriers, tearing apart all nearby matter; a powerful energy storm eroded every crack in the heavens and earth.

The terrifying heat, the laser that annihilated all matter, the piercing device that pierced the sky, tore a large hole in Saurus’s body.

The energy core throbbed violently, struggling until a crack appeared, emitting a flash of light before it completely shattered in this world.

“We… we won!?”

“Ha, haha!?”

Boyigu gasped for breath, looking at the scene in disbelief. Even if they had merged, they definitely couldn’t withstand that attack.

It was truly, truly shocking, and suffocatingly desperate energy.

Chen Yi calmly watched the dissipating black mist. He knew that things were far from over.

When Zeng Huanzhi appeared before everyone, his eyes blazed with fury, his expression compassionate, his lips pressed tight, devoid of excessive grief; only extreme anger remained.

He turned his gaze to Chen Yi, speaking slowly, one word at a time.

“You, all, shall, die.”

He floated in the air, and monstrous howls and roars echoed across the sea.

The originally deceased monsters transformed into spirit forms, one after another merging into Zeng Huanzhi’s body.

“One, two…”

“Ten, twenty, thirty…”

“One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, one thousand…”

A monster soaring towards the sky began to form at a visible speed.

From its feet, legs, body, and head, until it stood before everyone.

The surviving humans stared blankly at this scene, muttering to themselves in a frenzy.

“Ha, hahaha.”

“What, a joke…”

“4241 meters tall, weight incalculable…”

“Energy reaction T0.5 maximum limit, or even higher.”

“Approaching the energy reaction of the mysterious four Ultras…”

Chen Yi silently stared at the enormous monster. Except for the lack of Belial on its head, this monster was practically a replica of Belial.

Although numbering over a thousand, each monster was crudely stitched together, seemingly serving no purpose.

Its height was greater, but this monster’s weakness was more apparent: the huge black hole in its chest.

Chen Yi slowly lowered his eyes. They were falling into despair, but not Chen Yi, because he still had a trump card: the unlimited mecha, “Divine.”

People couldn’t see its head, only the monsters howling within its body.

Chen Yi quickly retreated. Zeng Huanzhi had lost all consciousness; his awakening would take time.

“Ye Wusheng, release the mental link of everyone.”

“Hm?”

Ye Wusheng stared at Chen Yi in surprise. Chen Yi’s gaze was cold, as if all emotion had been washed away.

Ye Wusheng had complete faith in Chen Yi’s words, but at this moment, disassembling the mecha was no different from suicide.

Feili began to shrink continuously, then enveloped Chen Yi, rushing into the Divine Mecha’s brain. In an instant, Feili became the Divine Mecha’s mainframe.

The Divine Mecha began to strengthen at a visible speed, until it completed its transformation, its frame shining with indescribable brilliance.

“This, so, so strong!”

“Energy reaction T1 maximum limit.”

“You!?”

Ye Wusheng’s eyes widened, unable to recover. He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, filled with hatred.

“Why?”

Those hidden within the Divine Mecha looked at Chen Yi, the entire space erupting in chaos.

“Why?”

“Instructor!?”

From the beginning, this Divine Mecha was modified to integrate Feili.

Chen Yi silently glanced at Ye Wusheng. He offered no further explanation.

“You used us.”

“You could have… saved them…”

Ye Wusheng punched Chen Yi in the face. He had never felt such anger and sorrow. They were like fools, played by a single individual.

What then, was the meaning of their sacrifices?

Possessing such power, why hide it? But if not hidden, what then?

Chen Yi slowly raised his head, touching his red, burning cheek, but his eyes never wavered—sincere, resolute.

Yet beneath the surface lay endless sorrow.

A trickle of blood flowed from Ye Wusheng’s mouth. Looking at that face, even the usually calm Ye Wusheng knew he had lost his composure. He took a deep breath, calming his agitation.

This punch was for them.

He knew Chen Yi had done the right thing. The brutality of war forced him to accept this reality.

The opponent indeed still possessed a suffocating trump card.

Without Ultraman, to defeat such powerful monsters, only this desperate measure could be taken. Moreover, this trump card could never be revealed, for it was everywhere.

Chen Yi had long known that the days ahead held infinite variables.

They were puppets controlled by strings. Only by transcending the ordinary could they escape the game.

Even the power granted to Leo Ultraman by the Reverse Spark could be forcibly destroyed, directly permeated. That darkness power surpassed everyone’s imagination.

It was unknown, the darkness hidden in the chaotic abyss.

If the world needed a sinner, Chen Yi was willing to be that sinner, willing to bear the burden alone.

The enemy was powerful; he had never even seen its true face. Tartarus, Reiblood, and many other dark entities were possibly just its chess pieces.

It was nothingness, and yet reality.

It was hidden somewhere here, like a venomous snake lurking in a cave, watching shrimp and crabs fight, reaping the rewards.

“The black hole.”

“That black hole is its weakness.”

“That black hole, only needs some energy to destroy it.”

“But the black mist and lightning surrounding it are its strongest defenses.”

“We only have five minutes.”

Chen Yi’s voice was as calm as water, seemingly numb. He stared intently at his cracked body. Five minutes was the limit his body could withstand.

Or three minutes? Two minutes?

Or even less than thirty seconds…

Because his body was on the verge of collapse. Feili hadn’t mastered this technology beforehand, but learned it instantly.

Thankfully, there was Feili, a super AI. Otherwise, Chen Yi alone couldn’t withstand such high-intensity control.

As long as the black hole is destroyed, and the Cosmic Core restarted, allowing the universe to reform its rules, everything will return to a state of saturation.

Planets will find their own places.

Even if monsters invade, humanity can defeat them with their own strength. If they fail, it will be humanity’s own fault.

Light brings hope, but strength is unwavering, never giving up, not perpetual protection, or cowardly retreat.

Humanity does not need to seize the universe’s power. Humanity’s destiny is its own to decide.

The disaster brought about by forcible seizure is now finally over.
