Chapter 172 The Chosen One...
The colossal steel gate, defying all logic, slowly opened after one person touched it, revealing familiar circuits and brackets before Haruki and Zeta's eyes, making them, who had been in this world for so long, feel somewhat out of place for a moment.
After stepping through the door and deactivating their transformations, the group, now walking in human form, followed Haruki's lead to the elevator.
The giant steel gate then closed, the monsters outside returned to their work, and the lights came on, illuminating the entire interior—a level of illumination that Sean and Zhao Yu had never seen before.
"What exactly is that thing? It's so small, yet it's incredibly bright. What's driving it inside?"
"That thing is called an electric light; it lights up when electricity is applied."
"Electrically powered? How can it be so quiet if it uses electricity? This is incredible."
Sean was so engrossed in looking around at modern technology that he barely had time to walk. Everything around him seemed to have an attraction that both surprised and intrigued him.
The devices here are so small and efficient, working together to produce harmonious power and sound, completely independent of human intervention and displaying the ultimate mechanical power. Sean could hardly believe that such a place existed in his world.
"Sean, if you keep dawdling, we're not waiting for you anymore."
"Wait for me, Zhaoyu, I'm coming right away!"
A shout interrupted Sean's continued observation. Yaohui had already found the elevator entrance and started the elevator. The whole process was exquisite and simple, a true work of art. Unfortunately, Zhaoyu was not in the mood for any reflection at the moment.
Gomora's previous complaints had already given Zhao Yu a bad impression of this place, and now seeing the monsters fighting each other meaninglessly, Zhao Yu really disliked this atmosphere of suppressing other creatures with violence.
The building’s industrial design and operating system are incredibly advanced, but its governance model is utterly barbaric. The futuristic city, which integrates all scientific wisdom, has now become a prison where reason is utterly unspoken.
"You might feel a little heavy when you get on the elevator, but don't worry, it's okay. You might feel a little dizzy the first time you experience it, so just relax."
Once inside the elevator, Yaohui pressed the corresponding button as instructed by Grandi, while also reminding his companions of the discomfort they might experience and encouraging them to stay calm.
With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and Yao Hui led Sean and Zhao Yu forward to meet the rumored Reonics. Their purpose for this trip was to find out whether this Reonics was friend or foe.
"Nice to meet you. I am Grandi, a Reonic from the Kiel aliens."
"My name is Haruki, my partner is Ultraman Zeta, and these two are my companions, Akio and Sean."
"Hello, Mr. Grandi."
After getting to know each other for the first time, Sean, fueled by his excitement, took the initiative to greet them. He always respected the strong and disliked those who only knew how to talk.
"Please take a seat, everyone. I think we have a lot to talk about. Of course, I'd be even happier if we could solve the problem just by chatting."
Grandi was also very interested in these heroes in front of him. According to the data that Luo Yi had collected before, the Ultraman they transformed into were actually different forms of the same Ultraman, and the key to achieving this ability lay in the things they wore on their hands.
The Courage Crystal and the Light Magic Stone were developed by the Magicians' Guild of this world. The fact that the technology of this place could rival that of the Land of Light truly surprised Grandy.
Grandi had researched the Light Magic Stone for a while, but only to deal with the guild. He had no interest in transforming into Ultraman. He was Reionics, the supreme ruler of monsters, and Ultraman was just a stepping stone on his path to becoming stronger.
"I'll get straight to the point, Mr. Grandi. We've received word from the guild that two Light Mage Stones were stolen by monsters on this island, and that guild members are being held captive here. What exactly is going on?"
"I stole the light stone, I imprisoned the person, and I will not deny what I have done. As for the reason, well, it was of course my own will."
Without denying it or showing any remorse, Haruki had no idea what Grandi was up to. He was another capricious person, and this time he was going to be difficult to deal with.
Zhao Yu and Sean didn't want to interrupt. Judging from the previous events, Grandi belonged to Yao Hui's world. It would be better to let them communicate first.
Although she didn't say anything, Zhao Yu was keeping a close eye on Grandi's every move. The quality of a leader directly determines the happiness and well-being of all the monsters, and Zhao Yu didn't want meaningless suffering to happen.
“I need a more detailed explanation, Mr. Grandy. If you don’t want to say it, you can simply shut us out from the start.”
"You do have some merit, Haruki. I just don't know if you're willing to hear the truth."
"What do you mean by this, Grandi? What truth?"
Before he could get an answer, Haruki was stumped by the other party's questioning. Haruki didn't know what the truth Grandi was talking about was.
"Oh? Interesting. How much do you know about the so-called truth?"
When Belial heard something interesting, he appeared, cutting through the gap in the listening space, wanting to see what this Reonic was capable of.
"What is this? It looks so much like an abstract marketing ploy by a toy manufacturer!"
"You brat, do you have a problem with my look?"
Although he had heard about Belial and Belial Twilight before, Grandi was still shocked when he saw Belial Twilight in person.
Who exactly came up with the idea of putting Beria's head on the hilt of a sword?
"Let's get down to business, Grandy, tell me why you did what you did before!"
Yao Hui was a little agitated. He had had enough of being kept in the dark. All the previous incidents turned out to be due to hidden reasons. Problems that should have been handled simply always ended up in irreparable situations.
"I took the Light Stone for myself because I wanted to know what the guild was planning. Are you satisfied with that answer, Mr. Human Form?"
"Because I wanted to know if those guild members were just pawns used and discarded, I locked them up to see how the guilds would react. Is that a reasonable explanation, hero?"
Grandi stood up and walked around Haruki, explaining his perspective on the problem. He gave an answer and then pressed down on Haruki's shoulder, making Haruki feel a strong pressure on his mind and body.
Are you doubting the Mage Guild?
“I’m not doubting you, I’m just telling you that the guild isn’t some adventurer’s association that serves heroes in the game story. Young man, they have their own purposes, including using you and Zeta.”
"What makes you say that, Grandy! What evidence do you have to slander the guild!?"
Yao Hui would never believe the one-sided story of the guy in front of him, and he would never believe that an alien who controlled monsters and acted recklessly could say anything true.
Grandi wasn't angry at all when faced with Haruki's questioning. Instead, looking at Haruki's angry expression reminded him of his own past self, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.
"Because I was also summoned to this world, Haruki, just like you and Zeta, by a strange aura magic circle."
"You don't really think you're some chosen one sent to save the world, do you?"
