Chapter 35: The Pyramid Appears

A series of emails were sent out.

Under the rising sun, Lin Yu drove the pickup truck with a smile, Lucia seated beside him in the passenger seat.

They slowly navigated the streets of Tokyo.

Voices discussing Zetton could still be heard nearby.

Lucia tilted her head, secretly listening in.

“Captain, everyone is saying that Zetton resembles a divine messenger more than the Kirielod people!” Lucia’s eyes sparkled as she said this.

She was a quick learner. Since Lin Yu rescued her, took her to capture Melba, and up to now—just over a day—the progress was remarkable.

She had already grasped most of the human language.

Her telepathic ability was extraordinarily strong in this regard!

Perhaps owing to the fact that she had shot the corpse of a Mu Zhen alien, her mental state had improved significantly, and she was much more lively.

“Zetton resembles a divine messenger?” Lin Yu paused for a moment.

Then he shook his head silently.

God, huh.

Too distant a concept.

Suddenly, he asked, “Do you know how to drive?”

“Ah? Yes, of course,” she replied.

They switched seats; Lucia took the wheel.

Lin Yu closed his eyes, recalling a book or perhaps a record that had appeared in his mind.

It was an incredibly familiar figure—Ultraman Leo!

At that moment, Leo was fighting a robot with fists and kicks.

This was the cosmic martial art!

Leo’s fighting style was sharp and seasoned, each move striking at the vital points!

He nearly shattered the glass fluid inside the robot before him.

Yes, the robot was Mechaseven.

Lin Yu immersed himself in the scene.

Though only watching, his body seemed to undergo a kind of enhancement!

Even humans, after learning cosmic martial arts, could break their limits, acquiring the physical qualities of a cosmic being of similar size!

After watching for quite some time, Lin Yu exhaled softly.

He opened his eyes.

They seemed brighter, deeper, and more mysterious—unfathomable.

“What a great reward!”

“My body now has a way to strengthen itself. A good summoner’s most important task is to ensure they don’t get cut down!”

Lin Yu smiled with satisfaction.

He glanced at his monster cultivation list.

Only one spot remained.

Then he looked at the twin monsters.

If possible, he really wanted to cultivate those two.

Fully trained twin monsters would be far stronger than the ones that had just died. Their massive spinning moves might even overwhelm Zetton!

But—

These two would occupy two slots!

Lin Yu had only one slot, and even if he had two, it would be a waste to use both for a pair of twin monsters!

“Looks like I won’t be able to raise the twin monsters after all. Such a pity.”

“For now, I think I’ll reserve this slot for Mogged Serpent. I wonder if the Five Emperors can get the breeding license for Mogged Serpent on Orb TV.”

Lin Yu muttered to himself.

“Let’s head back and rest for a bit. After several exhausting days, I finally can—”

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

The phone rang, snapping Lin Yu to full alert.

Few knew his number—only the Victory Squad, the Guys team, and a handful of others.

For example...

Lin Yu glanced at the caller ID.

Sure enough, it was him!

Masaki Keigo!

Since leading a large group out, Masaki Keigo had been out of contact.

They couldn’t find Golzan or Melba through him, so Lin Yu had taken matters into his own hands.

Now he was calling—did he have a discovery?!

Lucia looked over, curious.

“A team member who joined before you, named Masaki Keigo.”

Lin Yu gave her a glance and then answered the call.

“Hello? Masaki, any discoveries?”

“Of course! It’s a huge discovery, Captain!”

Masaki’s excited voice came through.

“But first, congratulations on defeating that formidable enemy. Those twin monsters aren’t easy to deal with. I always considered them my rivals since gaining my super-ancient power.”

Masaki laughed lightly, clearly in good spirits.

“Enough with the pests. Tell me about your discovery—I want to see what could be such great news.”

Lin Yu didn’t linger on the topic but pressed on with questions.

Though the Magma aliens and the twin monsters were dead, behind them was the Magma Legion, a notorious cosmic bounty hunter group.

They had destroyed the New Oreglos sect—the Cosmic Phantom Beast Fist Sect.

They were also friendly with L77.

The Magma Legion was composed of Magma aliens, formidable overall.

Their leader, Admiral Magma “Vorugan,” was a powerful warlord. After donning a replica of the Ampela alien’s Dark Armor, he even poisoned the aged and frail Phantom Beast Fist Grandmaster, Lei Ting.

It should be noted, at his prime, Lei Ting was immensely powerful!

Though no match for the Father of Ultra and the Ampela aliens, he was a peer-level warrior!

Even when old and weakened, being ambushed and poisoned still demonstrated Admiral Magma’s impressive strength!

Lin Yu might not be his match currently!

But Lin Yu didn’t care.

Was Earth’s crisis not enough already?

Like fleas, no fear of the bites. When soldiers come, generals will meet them; when water comes, earth will block it.

“I found... a pyramid!”

“The pyramid described in the Pacific Chronicles!!”

Masaki’s voice was full of restrained excitement, leaving Lin Yu stunned.

A pyramid?!

The one with statues of Tiga and two other super-ancient Ultraman?

Golzan and Melba hadn’t found it in this world, but Masaki Keigo had?!

Could Tiga be inside?

“Don’t move from there—I’m coming immediately!”

Lin Yu said hurriedly and hung up.

He, Masaki, and the communicator he gave Lucia all had satellite locators.

As long as their HUD team’s satellites weren’t destroyed, the positioning wouldn’t be lost.

“What is it, Captain?” Lucia asked, noticing Lin Yu’s sudden change in mood as she steered the pickup.

“It’s about a hero.”

“Masaki Keigo really hasn’t disappointed me!”

Lin Yu’s eyes glowed deep blue as the pickup uncontrollably accelerated, disappearing in a flash down an alley!

It was as if a black hole tore the sky, but the moment passed.

The area remained lively, with discussions about Zetton and King Eire continuing unabated.

Meanwhile, in space, a heavily concealed spaceship slowly descended.

Even the major battle teams and Earth United Organization’s satellites and space stations did not detect it!

Inside the ship, two aliens stood tall—

Nakler alien!

Gatzi alien!

“The defeat of the Imperial aliens isn’t very valuable. Besides revealing Earth’s internal chaos, all they’ve got is one powerful Zetton.”

The Nakler spoke softly.

“That reckless fool—I thought he might produce some results, but it turns out he’s just talk. Our current combat strength is severely lacking!”

The Gatzi alien, a blend of penguin and parrot traits, spoke with a birdlike chirp.

“We can’t win head-on anymore. Should we retreat or disguise ourselves as humans to stir up internal conflict?”

The Gatzi looked toward the Nakler.

After a long pause, the Nakler said,

“The Mogged Serpent’s hatching time draws near. Those underground monsters are rampaging because they fear its birth. We don’t have time to waste.”

“Using the ‘Bloodline Disguise Magic’ purchased at great cost from the cosmic magician—the Plesha alien—we can control the Mogged Serpent!”

“But only before it hatches!”

The Nakler flipped his palm, revealing a wand resembling a sparkling fairy stick.

This magical item was bought from the Plesha alien, a formidable enemy from the Leo TV series who shrank Leo to three inches before dying at the hands of the Ultraman King!

It possessed the power to disguise the bloodline as a close relative of another life form.

However, only before that life is born.

“So, what now...?”

The Gatzi’s gaze burned as he looked at the magic item, suppressing his excitement.

“No need to think about sweeping threats before infiltrating underground. We’ll go straight in, no matter the risk, right to the Mogged Serpent’s egg!”

The Nakler’s gaze turned toward Earth’s subterranean eight-thousand-meter mantle layer!
