Chapter 73 The Ranking of Ultra Warriors
Hoshi Ryoko: "Furthermore, within the Land of Light, thanks to the illumination of the Plasma Spark Tower, the elite warriors' energy is virtually never depleted. Even when they leave the Plasma Spark Tower's illumination range, the Gem Timer can actively absorb free energy from the universe to replenish the Ultra Warriors' energy. Even if their energy is exhausted, they will turn into stone statues. They can come back to life once they are given enough energy. Therefore, becoming an elite warrior allows you to travel freely in the universe, and only elite warriors are sent to space to carry out missions alone. Unlike me, who still needs to travel to Earth by spaceship."
It must be said that the Color Timer is like a cheat code for Ultraman, allowing him to actively absorb external energy. This not only enables the Ultra Warriors to quickly recover their strength and injuries but also grants them the ability to perform long-distance missions. Without the Color Timer, Ultraman's internal energy is limited, and his energy absorption rate is slow, so he cannot fly long distances and can only travel by spaceship.
Yang Guang: "I see. After becoming an elite warrior, you'll turn into a stone statue when your energy is depleted, but you might get killed in a fight. Oh, by the way, what level are you now?"
Ryoko Hoshi: "I'm currently at the Advanced Ultra Warrior stage, but I'm still a little short of transplanting the Color Timer gem. However, my strength is already very close, and I might be able to transplant the Color Timer gem soon."
Yang Guang: "Oh, so confident!"
Hoshi Ryoko: "That's because she's one in a million geniuses in the Land of Light. It's just that because I'm a princess, I don't need to participate in battles most of the time, so I just lack practical experience and insights from life-or-death struggles."
Yang Guang: "So you're just a tiny bit behind the other geniuses."
Hoshi Ryoko: "Hikari, you're so strong, you should be a top-tier warrior by now, right?"
Yang Guang: "Top-tier warrior? I don't know either. How many levels of Ultraman's strength do you divide in your Land of Light?"
Ryoko Hoshi: "In the Land of Light, we divide Ultraman into 8 levels. The lowest is the ordinary people of our race who have no warrior talent. Above that are the Junior Ultraman, Intermediate Ultraman, and Senior Ultraman. Above that are the Elite Ultraman, Top Ultraman, and Ultimate Ultraman. Above the Ultimate Ultraman are the legendary, god-like Mysterious Four Ultramen."
Yang Guang: "So, what defines a top-tier Ultra Warrior? What defines an ultimate Ultra Warrior?"
Hoshi Ryoko: "After becoming an elite warrior, with the blessing of the Gem Timer, the Ultra Warrior's strength will be enhanced. The upper limit of energy within the body, the speed of energy absorption, and the body's recovery ability will all be improved. This is the elite stage."
As Ultraman continuously hones his skills and eventually merges completely with the gem, he gains complete control over his energy. At this point, Ultraman can break through his original height limitations and become large or small at will. This is when he reaches the level of a top-tier warrior.
Yang Guang: "Oh, being able to freely control one's energy and body, making one's size change at will, makes one a top-tier warrior. Being able to change size at will—no wonder some Ultraman in the lore are only 40 meters tall, some 50 meters, but they look the same size when placed together. So they can adjust their body size. Oh right~ what about the ultimate warriors?"
Hoshi Ryoko: "Generally speaking, the top-tier warriors represent the pinnacle of Ultra Warrior evolution. To become an ultimate warrior, one needs to comprehend a higher level of power. In the Land of Light, only Father of Ultra has reached the level of an ultimate warrior by comprehending true power. The strongest others are only top-tier warriors, and top-tier warriors are considered ace fighters. There aren't many of them in the Land of Light. The most famous and strongest group are the Ultra Brothers, and of course, there are some top-tier warriors in other departments as well. There are only a few dozen in the entire Land of Light."
Ryoko Hoshi: "Of course, you can also use divine artifacts to amplify yourself, or combine multiple Ultra Warriors to reach the ultimate warrior stage. However, both of these methods are temporary and cannot maintain the ultimate warrior state for a long time."
Yang Guang: "If that's the standard, although I haven't tried adjusting my body size, I see that Tiga and Eddie can do it, so there's no reason I can't. Therefore, I should also be a top-tier warrior. However, since Guanyin Bodhisattva blessed me, I seem to have touched upon the power of Tai Chi. Although I've only just grasped a little bit, I believe that one day I can fully comprehend the power of Tai Chi and become an ultimate warrior!"
Through this conversation, Yang Guang not only resolved his confusion about converting Ultraman's age to human age, but also learned about the ranking system of Ultra Warriors.
Yang Guang: "Liangzi, could you tell me more about the history of your Land of Light? Because I am not an Ultraman from this universe, there are still many things I don't know about your Land of Light."
Hoshi Ryoko: "No problem. Then I'll give you a proper introduction to our Land of Light. The Land of Light is located on a planet called Ultraman in the M78 Nebula. The entire planet has a population of about 180 billion. It is 300 million light-years away from Earth. Ultraman is 60 times the size of Earth, and its gravity is more than 120 times that of Earth. It is surrounded by radioactive rays from an artificial sun—the Defareta Rays."
Yang Guang: "Oh, so the Land of Light is this big!"
Ryoko Hoshi: "The Land of Light wasn't always like it is now. 27 years ago, due to a star explosion, the Land of Light was plunged into darkness. So, the scientists of the Land of Light created the Plasma Spark and used the Plasma Spark Tower to illuminate the entire Land of Light with the Defareta rays emitted by the Plasma Spark. The Defareta rays have powerful energy, and under the illumination of this light, the original inhabitants of the Land of Light evolved."
Yang Guang: "Amazing!"
Hoshi Ryoko: "Of course, not everyone successfully evolved. 99% of them failed and turned to ash. The remaining 1% of the population received the energy of the Plasma Spark, grew to gigantic size, averaging 40 meters in height and weighing tons, and possessed many superpowers. They were then called Ultraman! This event is also known as the 'Human Super Evolution Event.' The Plasma Spark is also called the Holy Light by the Ultraman! The energy at the core of the Plasma Spark is extremely powerful, and even the Ultraman cannot touch it directly, so they made a handle for the Plasma Spark, making it look like a torch."
Yang Guang: "Mmm~"
