Chapter 737 Casual Conversation
"Zavul?" Zheng Zha asked doubtfully.
"Sofia Mother Body." Sun Wukong looked towards the heavens, his eyes flickering with a golden light that Zheng Zha couldn't see, "It's a creature capable of devouring planets."
"Is that so?"
Zheng Zha felt a slight heaviness in his heart.
He didn't pay attention to how Sun Wukong knew the name of the Sofia Mother Body. He just felt that dealing with a planet-devouring monster, Dyna's power seemed somewhat inadequate.
Moreover, the Earth also has Gatanothor, which he may not be able to break through its defense.
If the future of this time-space is the setup Chu Xuan initially provided in the exhibition, then Gatanothor might evolve into Gatanotoya.
For some reason, the more he thought about it, the more likely this future setting from the exhibition would appear in this time-space.
The Main God couldn't possibly let them pass so easily!
Boom!
At this moment, the thunderclouds overhead began to spread, and entities from past time-space gradually replaced the current time-space existence, causing the surrounding magnetic field to become chaotic.
"Wukong, Zheng Zha!"
Sun Wukong's communicator rang, and upon opening it, the anxious face of Kujima Megumi appeared on the screen, "How's the evacuation of residents going?"
The two had time to chat naturally because they were executing the simplest task.
"The local residents have been fully evacuated," Sun Wukong replied, "However, the time-space boundary seems to have expanded. Captain, do you have any progress on your side?"
"Chu Xuan and Digging have already researched the principle of the time-space boundary. Soon, we can assemble the corresponding anti-time-space energy projection to offset the time-space boundary's energy."
Kujima Megumi said, "However, according to Digging's previous detection, this time-space fluctuation is similar to the past rainbow magic mirror. It's possible that a Hilbagon might appear later, so you'll need to guard outside the residents' hiding spot and prevent them from running around."
"Understood."
Once the communication ended, Sun Wukong said to Zheng Zha, "Let's guard here. After all, it's part of our duty in this role."
Zheng Zha stretched lazily, glanced back at the entrance leading to the underground, and said, "It's so boring... But why hide underground? Isn't there a risk of the walls collapsing?"
"The purpose of an air-raid shelter is to avoid air disasters, mainly from missile explosions and vibrations on the ground. These structures can dampen the vibrations."
Sun Wukong explained, "When monsters appear, they usually walk on the ground, causing tremors with every step. Fighting in open fields can be unstable and may even attract monster attention."
"As for the collapse risk... It's very unlikely here."
"Because Japan is situated right at the junction of the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate. Geologically, the Pacific Plate is relatively thin but denser and positioned lower. As it moves west horizontally, it subducts beneath the neighboring Eurasian Plate."
"Thus, when the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate collide and compress, the rock layers at their junction deform and fracture, leading to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes."
"Essentially, this nation developed amidst earthquakes, and all modern buildings have extremely strong seismic resistance."
"From this point of view, despite humans' constant environmental modifications, until they reach the capability to alter continental drifts, they still need to adapt to Earth's broader environment."
Zheng Zha realized, "No wonder when Tiga and the monsters fight, unless it's special circumstances, the ground shakes with their movements but rarely do the buildings collapse directly."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two beams of light streaked above them and fell into the thunderclouds, but sank like deadweight without any effect.
"Just now, that was—"
Before finishing his sentence, Zheng Zha was surprised to see a large group of Sofia spheres come rushing from all directions, surrounding the time-space boundary.
They kept firing green beams into the thunderclouds, forcing the time-space boundary to retract.
"Sofia!" Zheng Zha was puzzled, "Why attack the time-space boundary?"
"It's apparent that they sense that another entity covets Earth, but Earth is already theirs to control. How could they allow others to snatch it away?" Sun Wukong said calmly.
"That's so." Zheng Zha drew his flash sword and spoke to Sun Wukong, "Then I'll wait for them to tire each other out before taking action."
"Two sides getting exhausted is unlikely. While the time-space boundary is unique, that Goldrass isn't very powerful and will likely be assimilated by Sofia, becoming a Sofia Synthetic Beast."
Sun Wukong slowly said, "Given Sofia's capabilities, once they master Goldrass's genetic information, they might bring monsters from other worlds directly, or even teleport the distant Mother Body from the cosmos."
"So?" Zheng Zha felt a cold sweat on his forehead.
"If you want to kill Sofia spheres to earn reward points, you can start now. They likely can also fuse by absorbing time-space energy," Sun Wukong pointed to the thundercloud black mass, "If Sofia merges with that thundercloud, it could form a new Sofia Synthetic Beast."
"Can that thing fuse as well?"
"Sofia is a life form that transcends time and space. Even its split bodies are essentially no different from its main body," Sun Wukong said. "If the main body dies but a split body survives, it can grow back into the main body over endless future time."
"Looks like I need to make the first move." The light within Zheng Zha resonated with the Flash Sword, transforming into Ultraman Dyna amidst the radiance.
And as soon as Dyna appeared, he didn't waste words, immediately beginning to clear out Sofia.
Amidst the continuous explosions, the spacetime realm seemed to be affected as well. A monster with golden scales and two triangular horns on the sides of its head flickered in and out of view within the spacetime zone.
And at the moment of its appearance, Victory Team's detection devices were all strongly interfered by magnetic fields, rendering them useless.
"Is that guy the mastermind behind the spacetime realm? It doesn't look much like Hilbagon... Is it a different individual of the same species?" Eagerly, Kakui couldn't contain his curiosity.
"Now is not the time to explore this." Chu Xuan stopped his work at the side, "Defeat that monster now, and the spacetime realm will collapse without being attacked. We will save our research time."
Buzz— ReadersupportatM*VLEM*PYRmadethistranslationpossible.
As Golza stepped out of the spacetime barrier, it pounced on Dyna.
And Dyna immediately turned around, abandoning his attack on Sofia, and grabbed Golza's large horns with both hands—these horns were the source of the monster's special abilities.
"Ha~"
The crystal on Dyna's forehead dazzled, turning him into the red Strong type, which increased his strength enormously, crushing Golza's horns with raw power.
Boom!
The hornless Golza was thrown by Dyna onto the nearby open space, wailing as it climbed back up.
And after its horns were broken, the expansion of the spacetime realm also stopped and even began to shrink, although the past spacetime objects did not disappear.
Obviously, the monster must be completely defeated to repair these suddenly appearing things.
But just as Dyna was about to eliminate Golza, dozens of Sofias latched onto the monster, transforming it into a Sofia Synthetic Beast.
King Sofia Goldrass!
Once fused by Sofia, its body became bulkier, its height exceeded a hundred meters, and white patterns appeared in the gaps of its golden scales. Its claws and fangs grew sharper and more menacing, and the two broken horns grew back, even more twisted.
"Roar!"
A roar erupted as golden lightning burst from its body, distorting the surrounding space.
Dyna leaped in two steps, kicking towards it.
Yet, his entire body seemed twisted, appearing behind King Sofia Goldrass, with the attack missing entirely.
"Hmm?"
On guard, Dyna raised his hand and fired a small energy beam at King Sofia Goldrass.
When it reached the king, it seemed to hit a water surface, creating ripples, and then the energy ball rebounded back toward Dyna at the same speed.
Pa!
Dyna raised his hand and blocked it.
He now roughly understood that no matter if it was a physical or energy attack, the opponent could neutralize it with spacetime manipulation and even reflect energy attacks.
"How to deal with such a creature?"
Zheng Zha contemplated plans, discovering there was no way to confront it!
Even though he possessed the Miracle type, capable of banishing King Sofia Goldrass to another alien spacetime, the opponent, mastering spacetime power, could return...
...
"Could the spacetime fluctuation Tartaros mentioned be this?" Belial looked speechlessly at King Goldrath fused by Sofia, then chuckled, "Hmph, haha, to have fallen into Sofia's hands."
However, Belial understood that the spacetime origin Tartaros wanted could not be this kind of stuff.
The abilities of Golza are just that, in another timeline, among the hundred monsters it controls, there's a King Goldrath. That bit of spacetime power doesn't really amount to much use.
Although this one here wields spacetime abilities a bit exaggeratedly, even capable of bringing past temporal objects to the present, it's similar to how Tartaros transported them, the parallel spacetime counterparts, to another time.
But the range is small, limited to Earth... or rather, it can only passively affect the area where Golza resides.
"At least this Golza does have potential. Its application of spacetime power is much stronger than those who only rely on brute strength," Toregia mused, eating popcorn, shaking his head, "Pity it was fused by Sofia; otherwise, I wouldn't mind recruiting it as a subordinate."
