Chapter 52: Alien Eleking vs. Three Powerful Monsters: The Battle for the Spark Dolls

"Buzz... hum..."

The muffled electronic sound grew closer and closer. From within the thick black smoke, a mechanical monster resembling iron-plating and gold-gilded metal slowly emerged.

Its entire body was made of rigid steel, gleaming with metallic colors under the setting sun and the meteor shower.

Standing roughly fifty-five meters tall, its head resembled a machine for receiving radio waves, and strange, iridescent light pulsed through the two specialized glass panels on its chest.

Space Robot—King Joe!

A powerful mechanical monster manufactured by the Pedanians, possessing terrifying defensive capabilities that could ignore Seven's Eye Slugger and Emerium Ray, as well as crushing physical strength capable of overwhelming Seven!

In the end, humanity had to rely on advanced black technology to secure a victory.

It could even split into four separate modules to evade high-powered attacks. For instance, in *Ultraseven EVOLUTON*, King Joe used this ability to dodge Seven's ultimate attack, the Wide Shot!

Its overall combat power was comparable even to Zetton's.

Although it appeared frequently in later series and occasionally suffered defeat or lost some of its imposing aura, overall, it remained one of the premier mechanical monsters, far superior to ordinary beasts!

*Boom!*

The earth quaked!

Another towering figure, about fifty meters tall, resembling a giant deity clad in heavy armor and wielding a massive stone sword, stepped out of the haze!

It made no vocal sounds; only the heavy, muffled thuds of its footsteps shook the ground.

It moved like a divinity worshipped high upon an altar stepping down into the mortal realm.

Demon God Monster—Codain!

A powerful monster that appeared in *Ultraman Jack*, its defensive power was easily equal to, if not greater than, King Joe's.

Originally a sacred statue worshipped within the Rengeko Shrine, it was galvanized and transformed into a monster by the "Grotes Cells" of the artillery-themed alien, Alien Grotes.

In terms of strength, it completely suppressed Jack across the board, leaving the Ultraman utterly helpless.

Ultimately, it was only when the fragile-mage-like Alien Grotes personally entered the fray that Jack found an opening to instantly defeat him. Only then did Codain lose the vitality of the cells and revert to a static stone statue.

"Whoosh!"

Amidst ferocious roars, a sixty-five-meter-tall black giant, its entire body steaming with pale white vapor, strode out of the dense smoke.

The single horn upon its forehead reflected a terrifyingly cold sheen in the sunlight, and its pair of blood-red eyes instilled bone-deep terror in anyone who beheld them!

Bodyguard Monster—Black King!

A weapon of war domesticated by the Nackelians, specifically tailored to counter Jack. It could even catch the Spacium Ray barehanded and block the miraculous Ultra Bracelet.

The sense of oppression generated by it and the Nackelians in *Ultraman Jack* was even greater than that of the series finale, and its impact could be said to be the most profound.

After all, they actually killed the female lead of *Ultraman Jack*.

Jack's subsequent victory was thanks to the timely rescue by the original Ultraman and Ultraseven, alongside Jack destroying the antenna used by the Nackelians to control Black King, turning the beast into a clumsy puppet.

To put it simply.

The three monsters present before them were all top-tier nuisances!

Taken individually, even Lin Yu's Eleking could only barely guarantee a win in a one-on-one fight!

After all, Eleking by nature was inferior to any of the three, and could only reach its absolute limit through one hundred percent cultivation.

If these three monsters also belonged to Lin Yu and their cultivation level reached one hundred percent as well, their might probably wouldn't fall short of Lin Yu's Zetton!

At this moment.

The three monsters completely ignored the humans on the ground, fixing their undivided attention on the meteors about to plummet from the sky.

With just a slight sweep of their tails, several already fragile buildings in the small town collapsed, triggering a series of screams.

"Three monsters?!"

"Why would they suddenly appear here?!"

Lina's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the three ferocious, gigantic disasters emerging from the gradually dispersing black smoke.

"That's... the machine monster that previously attacked the space station and caused the complete annihilation of MAC, codenamed King Joe!"

***

Dagu looked at King Joe with a grim expression and said, "This thing appeared in a small village in South Asia half a year ago. It happened at night, and by the time the local MAT defense team rushed over, the village had been completely destroyed!"

Shinjo also gazed at Codain, his fists clenched so tight they cracked.

"That black monster too; a few months ago, it attacked the satellite base headquarters, causing catastrophic losses!"

"These guys... they've all shown up together!"

Shinjo growled, his previous playful demeanor entirely gone.

An oppressive atmosphere blanketed the area. The residents of Kazarai Town fled in blind panic, and even the ordinary GUTS members assigned to patrol could only maintain the barest minimum of composure.

Without exception, however, terror filled their eyes, and their legs trembled uncontrollably.

Had it not been for their duty and status, they would have joined the fleeing crowds long ago.

Before monsters of this caliber, ordinary human beings were insignificant beyond description.

"King Joe, Codain, Black King."

"Unless I'm mistaken, their handlers behind the scenes must be the Pedanians, the Alien Grotes, and the Nackelians."

"Damned scumbags, it seems they've set their sights on these meteors!"

Lin Yu said with a cold expression.

"What aliens?"

Shinjo asked, failing to react immediately for a second.

"Captain Lin Yu, are you saying these monsters are being controlled by extraterrestrials, and their target is this meteor?"

Dagu, whose intelligence was clearly on high alert, widened his eyes and asked impatiently.

"That's the most probable scenario."

Lin Yu nodded.

"Those bastards who invade other people's homes..."

A look of deep hatred also welled up in Lucia's beautiful eyes.

She, her younger brother, and her family were life forms similar to Earthlings. Because their home planet was sparsely populated and largely free of war, they preferred to mind their own business on their world—until the arrival of the Alien Jinso destroyed everything.

Now, hearing Lin Yu say that these monsters were controlled by aliens who had ruthlessly slaughtered lives on Earth, her surging abhorrence became impossible to suppress!

Yet... what good was it even if she couldn't suppress it?

She was merely a weakling alien, only slightly stronger than an ordinary human being, and couldn't even withstand a single bullet.

Her telepathic communication skills were utterly useless against such vicious entities.

She could do nothing at all.

"Never mind that. Dagu, let's go, pilot GUTS Wing 1!"

"Lina, you go direct the evacuation of the residents."

Shinjo impatiently grabbed Dagu and bolted, shouting instructions over his shoulder.

"Understood!"

Lina immediately sprang into action as well.

Only Lin Yu and the others remained.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu walked off toward the side.

A moment later.

In the sky, a black hole ripped open!

"Gegi!"

Eleking shrieked, landing heavily upon the ground.

Its crescent-shaped antenna twitched slightly as it locked its gaze onto the three monsters: King Joe, Codain, and Black King!

***

Damn it!

My master really knows how to pick opponents for me.

Any one of these three is stronger than garbage like Glanrein or Gudon.

If that ungrateful traitor Zetton were here, the two of us could easily slaughter them all.

Too much of a pity, Zetton seemed to have just exited its berserk state and still needed time to recover its stamina.

Oh well.

I, the invincible and handsome King Eleking, shall step up and display my mighty glory!

"Gegi!!"

Eleking whipped its tail outward. King Joe, who had just leaped up to grab a meteor, grasped nothing at all.

That meteor was instead snagged by Eleking's tail and dragged right over!

"Aiao?"

Eleking looked at the meteor in bewilderment.

About three or four meters in diameter—very small.

With a gentle squeeze, the meteor shattered.

Inside lay a tiny trinket, only a dozen centimeters long.

It looked so familiar, it seemed to be...

A Choju?

Never mind.

Eleking flicked its tail—no, swung its tail—and casually tossed the doll away.

Mid-air, it was intercepted by Ultra Telekinesis.

Lin Yu instantly recognized what kind of doll this was.

Giant Moth Choju—Doragori!

One of the three veteran labor Choju.

"Sure enough, these meteors are Spark Dolls!"

Lin Yu flipped the figure over and spotted a mark on the bottom of Doragori's foot.

This was the Spark Imprint meant to be poked with a Dark Spark or Ginga Spark for physical materialization!

That meant these meteors could even less be handed over to these aliens.

"Buzz... hum..."

Having the duck that was already in its pot fly away was something no one could tolerate, let alone King Joe.

Rough, chaotic electronic noises blared from various parts of King Joe's body, overlapping discordantly and causing a ringing in the ears.

Its steel palms extended, resembling a wall of iron plowing down everything in its path, as it shoved directly toward Eleking!

"Gegi!"

Eleking roared angrily, refusing to yield an inch. Its tail lashed out, carrying millions of horsepower and high-voltage electricity, striking King Joe heavily!

Codain and Black King seemed to have received orders as well, closing in from the flanks to encircle Eleking.

*Boom!!*

The battle erupted instantly!
