Chapter 255 One Earthling?
"Duke, do we really want to report this to the outside world? It would be troublesome if it attracted even more Ultramen."
"Nonsense, of course I know. Didn't you see I was agreeing with the deputy director? If we don't keep him in check, we won't be able to do anything we want."
Upon returning to his room, the Duke immediately cut off communication with the other cabins, accelerated his plans, and made sure no outsiders knew about them.
The phantom monster can only be obtained by oneself; the Duke will not let anyone else have it.
"The deputy director attaches great importance to this operation, as evidenced by his willingness to make concessions for the greater good. Otherwise, he could have easily ordered the soldiers to fire on the monster; with the fleet's strength, that would have been no problem at all."
“We can’t do it openly, but we need to find the phantom beast before the police station. Now is the time to take special measures.”
The Duke turned on his modified computer, contacted all the remaining hunters on the planet, and issued them a new bounty mission: to go to the ruins left behind ten years ago and activate the teleportation array.
"A teleportation array? Does this desolate planet even have teleportation arrays?"
"Of course, it existed even ten years ago, but the outside world has forgotten about this place for the past ten years, which has led to the abandonment of all the previous positions, which must be restarted."
"Forget? This was also done by the Phantom Monster? The legendary superpower to rewrite memories."
The Babar aliens were puzzled and confused by what the Duke said. The Duke had always kept many secrets and had an extremely strong obsession with the Phantom Monster. In order to find the Phantom Monster, the Duke was willing to take crazy actions.
"Hmph, rewriting memories... that's incredibly easy for the Phantom Monster. It can not only rewrite memories, but also change the trajectory of the world. Whether it's humans, beasts, or nature, they all have to submit to it. The title of 'Cosmic Noble' isn't given lightly."
"But it can't escape my grasp, hahaha, it definitely won't get away this time! I've been waiting for this opportunity for ten years, ten years! I've finally returned to this place."
"This time, I will definitely take back everything that belongs to me!"
In the clear sky, the roar of a heavily armed fleet echoed, its wakes leaving trails on the horizon, announcing their arrival to the entire world.
The deputy director identified the nearest ruins as the location for establishing a camp. Judging from the scale of the remaining ruins, the previous group of forces that came to this world were also fully armed.
Strangely, the entire ruins showed no signs of attack, and were inexplicably abandoned and became the territory of plant monsters. The fact that an entire army could retreat without a fight is truly an unbelievable ability.
On the other side, the peaceful island was disrupted by the sudden arrival of several uninvited guests.
Accepting the Duke's new bounty missions, the hunters travel to the nearest ruins to activate teleportation arrays. Although the process is somewhat dangerous, it is worthwhile.
After all, the news of the other hunters' complete disappearance had already spread, and restarting the teleportation array was a way for the hunters to give themselves a way out, so that they could teleport away at any time if things really couldn't continue.
It's better to fail a mission than to lose your life in this desolate wilderness.
"Monster scan: Ant-like monster, danger level: low."
Faced with the hunters wielding alien weapons, the worker ants were powerless to fight back. Their enormous size only increased the range of the bullets, and the blazing flame launchers were the ants' nemesis.
"Tch, what a bunch of trash monsters. This kind of stuff wouldn't even be worth much if they were auctioned off in bulk."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and find the teleportation array to complete the mission. I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place any longer."
"Coward, what are you afraid of? With our gear, what's there to be afraid of? I'd rather take down any trash with a single shot than waste bullets. I was just looking for a tough guy to keep me entertained..."
The Hipporito alien, walking with its back turned, was completely unaware of the threat coming from the sky. It was trampled into the ground by a worker ant that flapped its wings, and the gun in the Hipporito alien's hand was flung away and corroded and melted by a mouthful of acid from a worker ant.
"Monster scan: Type II Ant Beast, Danger Level: Low. Caution: Wings and mouthparts."
Soldier ants, eager to resist foreign enemies, rushed from other islands. They mobilized en masse to confront the intruders who had invaded their territory, soaring and roaring in the air in a show of defiance.
Each soldier ant is a soldier trained by Grandi, and their only honor is to protect their home and strike back at the enemy.
Swarms of soldier ants, each over ten meters long, flew down from above, surrounding the invading hunters. With their compound eyesight, the soldier ants could even clearly see the trajectory of bullets, allowing them to dodge and counterattack with ease.
After firing dozens of shots without taking down a single soldier ant, the hunters grew increasingly impatient due to their growing panic. If their weapons could no longer protect them, then it was time to resort to their final measures.
Each breath forced the hunters into a narrow circle, leaving the remaining hunters with nowhere to retreat, exposed in the center of the open field, becoming easy prey in the eyes of the ant colony.
"Let's just grow to gigantic size and take them down! I can't stand this humiliation!"
“If you grow to a gigantic size and damage the area, the teleportation array won’t work and we won’t be able to get back. The police are here now, so we can’t move around outside as freely as before.”
The enraged hunter tossed his gun aside, ready to grow to gigantic size and go all out. His size difference was a decisive advantage; once he became a fifty-meter giant, he could easily swat these vermin with a single slap.
Just as the desperate battle was about to break out, the soldier ants retreated en masse, giving the hunters and themselves some space to recover. This unusual behavior puzzled all the hunters.
"What's going on? What are these guys doing? Are they waiting for their boss?"
"No, there are no other monsters reacting around, so it can't be the ant colony leader."
"Wait, a new life signature has appeared. It's a type the system can recognize. The identification result is... Earthling? Huh?"
The completely unexpected turn of events shocked the hunters, leaving them in a daze. Why were Earthlings here? Weren't they supposed to be a backward civilization that didn't even have a unified planet?
The doubts in my heart could not be understood no matter how hard I tried, but the facts in front of me proved the system's announcement. A black-haired adult male appeared surrounded by giant ant beasts, and all the ant beasts around him showed him great respect.
"Is the system missing something? I heard that Ultraman is also on this planet. Is this Earthling an Ultraman in disguise?"
"That's impossible. The system didn't make a mistake in identification. He's an Earthling and doesn't have any Ultraman-related items on him. It's unlikely that he's Ultraman's human form."
"And have you ever seen an Ultraman who reigns supreme among monsters? What kind of legitimate Ultraman associates with a bunch of wild beasts?"
The remaining hunters were even more confused about their current situation. A swarm of ants with considerable combat power was flying all over the sky, and inexplicably, Earthlings appeared in front of them. Instead of being attacked by the monsters, they were worshipped as if they were the monsters' bosses.
The world is so crazy.
"Should we say something? If they really are Earthlings, does that mean we can communicate? Isn't Earth language synchronized with the entire universe? I've heard from extraterrestrials who have been to Earth that they can communicate with Earthlings without any problems."
"There's no other way now. Let's give it a try. It's better than being drowned in the monster's spittle."
The hunters, who were ready to speak, tried to muster their courage and take a step toward the Earthlings. They put away their weapons and carefully raised their hands, a gesture they had heard meant there was no threat on Earth.
Huilia was speechless at the incomprehensible behavior of those aliens. She really didn't know what they were there for. What did she think she was?
Just as the hunter, who was only thinking about getting home, was about to speak, the commotion of the ground cracking nearby attracted everyone's attention. The Hipporito alien was completely enraged and activated its gigantic form, intending to fight to the death. It would rather die in battle than become the most humiliated one.
"Die, all of you! A bunch of ants dare to talk back to me? I'll tear this place down and turn it into a latrine!"
The mentally unstable Hippolyte ruined everything the hunters planned. Judging from Hippolyte's attitude, he probably intended to destroy the place and them all. In an instant, all the hunters loaded their weapons again, switching to tranquilizer darts to subdue the madman first.
"Shut up! What's all the noise about!"
Huilia raised his hand and threw a sword aura, which sent the five-meter-tall Hipporito flying. The Hipporito's head hit the broken wall and sank in, while his lower body was exposed and hit on the buttocks by a falling wooden plank.
The hunters' understanding of Earthlings was completely overturned.
