With a light step, the Dark Shadow Mage arrived directly above the Amazon. Energy gathered in his hands above his head, transforming into a dark cloud, followed by a bolt of black lightning that struck down directly.
At the same time, Renlong's expression turned cold inside the shrine. "They really made their move. Are they planning to awaken Saigoku first?"
"Mephisto, you take care of them, I'm going out for a bit."
Picking up the trump card Leo had left him, Renlong disappeared from the spot. Even if he knew that the Dark Shadow Mage's purpose was only to distract his side's defensive forces, it didn't mean he could ignore Sai Gaogu's matter. If the seal were to be broken, it would be disastrous.
The Dark Shadow Mage's actions were as expected; this guy was relentlessly causing trouble. Now, we'll see what Zaki does next.
Chapter 286 King and Queen Gloca
The plan went too smoothly, which brought unease. It would have been better if there had been some setbacks along the way, that's what Galatron's experience told her.
However, from the very beginning, from arriving in the Negative Universe, intercepting the Gloca fleet, opening the way, and bringing the Snow White and the Friendship Project missiles here, everything went too smoothly, to the point that Galatrom had to think more about things.
At the speed of the Snow White, after shaking off the entanglement of the Archbishop of Gloca, Galatrom arrived at the main control system almost without any hindrance, and then she discovered the key to the problem.
"Just as Leo said." Looking at the entrance that was clearly meant for a human-sized creature, Galatron digitized and stored the Snow White, then flew directly into the monitoring system.
The monitoring system left behind by Delacion was about the size of the moon, but Galatron's was not slow either. More importantly, this passage seemed to have been left specifically for someone else, a straight line from beginning to end without even a fork in the road.
It's not just a resemblance; this is an entrance specifically left for people. Delacion foresaw that the monitoring system would lose control and knew that Leo would appear, so he deliberately left this passage.
After flying a considerable distance, a faint light appeared ahead of Galatrom. She felt her consciousness becoming somewhat blurred, and Sphia, with whom she had established a symbiotic relationship many years ago, began to feel uneasy.
For the Sphia, which had merged with the Chaos Order System and whose entire star system had been cleansed by the regulatory system, the power of Delacion was all too familiar to them, and they could not help but feel some fear.
Radar, detectors, sensors... all means of sensing the enemy became ineffective. Galatrom panicked for a moment. For her, who was used to using these methods to keep track of her surroundings at all times, this was really terrible.
Fortunately, the connection with Leo was still firmly established, which quickly put Galatrom at ease. She finally reached the deepest core of the regulatory system, a universe.
More accurately, it was a miniature model of the universe: the solar system, the Centaurus system, Orion, Scorpius... Galatrom glanced over countless nebulae and galaxies before fixing his gaze on the sky above.
It was a pure white sphere, surrounded by strings like musical staves. It stood there calmly, overlooking the model and the entire universe, until Galatron opened its mouth.
"You're the oversight system?"
The strings surrounding the white sphere trembled slightly, followed by a few fluctuations. "This system is the Gloca Universe Order Maintenance Machine, with a mission..."
At this point, the monitoring system paused for a moment, then said, "Destroy all creatures that have come into contact with the ultimate darkness, leave no one alive."
“No!” Galatrom retorted. “As a monitoring system, your mission should be to ensure that the Ultimate Darkness does not endanger the entire universe, not to destroy life!”
"Rejected. The system has identified the source of the outbreak, and the destruction of all life in the solar system is now the top priority."
"If that's the case, why waste time with us here?"
Galatrom's words silenced the monitoring system once again. It realized that it had exposed something, and Galatrom confirmed its own and Leo's guesses.
"As expected, you are not just a rigid mechanical system; you have your own consciousness. When Delacion created you, he endowed you with the ability to think!"
How could the system left behind by Delacion so easily lose control and fall into rigid, mechanical thinking? The passage deliberately left for visitors was clearly intended to allow someone to come here and confront the main control system directly.
The decision to deliberately stay here instead of rushing to break through the defenses to reach Earth demonstrates an overly simplistic approach to problem-solving; this regulatory system has already exposed enough problems.
Leo is right. Either Delacion will definitely leave behind countermeasures against the loss of control over the regulatory system, or the regulatory system is not out of control at all, but what is its purpose?
What is your purpose?
"Destroy." The monitoring system's answer was swift and decisive. "Destroy all threats that could potentially attack the Ultimate Darkness, and annihilate all civilizations and beings that could pose a threat to the universe."
"Then why launch an attack on Earth?"
"No comment."
Even if I detonate a missile and destroy this place?
Galatrom didn't believe the monitoring system couldn't analyze what the Snow White was carrying at the time, but the monitoring system didn't care.
"Analysis has shown that the energy explosion poses no real threat to this system, and it is recommended to abandon futile resistance."
The monitoring system is not talking nonsense. Although the missiles of Project Friendship have the power to destroy a planet, this space is special. It is a miniaturized version of an entire universe, with a level of solidity equivalent to that of the universe.
It's impossible to destroy the Friendship Project from the inside with missiles alone. Even if the Dark Emperor were here, he couldn't do anything to the monitoring system. Unless you have the power to shake the entire universe, you can only try to find a way from the outside.
"Can't we discuss this?" Seeing that the main control system was still ignoring her, Galatron thought for a moment, "Then why did you destroy the Sphia civilization?"
"The power of light, a flawed path of evolution, destruction and elimination are the only ways to maintain peace and stability in the universe." Galatron felt something was amiss. "Then why let the Chaos System act first?"
"Nothing to offer..." The monitoring system suddenly paused, then, as if sensing something, its voice became mechanical, "Plasma Spark energy confirmed, identity record confirmed... Leo Nix, race Reibloodo."
This was not because Leo had arrived, but because the monitoring system had just captured the intense light emitted by the Godler alien that Leo had transformed into.
The energy provided by the mini Baltan was indeed plentiful; Daigo and the others had rarely fought battles with such abundant resources. However, Max's clones were not in such a situation; their energy reserves were clearly not as large.
So, Leo raised his hand and unleashed a flash attack, which Magabasa named the "Power Bank Ray," replenishing Max's clones on the field with considerable energy. Even Keprus recovered a lot in an instant, grabbing two Gloca Bishops and throwing them out.
Even Narumiya Kazuya's gaze towards Leo changed. The variables in Delacion's prophecy were more formidable than he had imagined, and the strength of these Ultramen was also formidable. If it weren't for him that night, they probably could have dealt with so many Bishops of Gloca.
Of course, Narumiya Kazuya didn't know that for Daigo and the others, as long as Bishop Groca's numbers didn't increase and it wasn't a one-against-two situation, there really wasn't much trouble. Firstly, everyone had combat experience, and secondly... Bishop Groca was truly pure.
Purely numerical values, without any special mechanics to speak of. The mass-produced Gloca tanks might be considered one, but for Daigo and his team, as long as they can find a breakthrough, they can use the same method to deal with other enemies.
If it were Galatrom or Yako who created the Bishop of Groca, they would first install a Sphia Barrier Generator, then add a Goblin Metal Armor to ensure high-speed regeneration, and even include light absorption capabilities, which would be a real headache.
On the other hand, Galatron can also confirm that Delacion had indeed predicted Leo's appearance. Even the monitoring system knew about Leo long ago. Plasma Spark Energy, why does Leo have these?
Galatrom didn't quite understand, and just looked at the monitoring system, "Now that Leo's identity has been confirmed, can you finally tell me?"
The regulatory system did not respond, but fell into a long silence. Galatron suddenly had a very bad feeling. The white ball of light suddenly turned red, and the golden string turned into black threads that vibrated continuously.
"Warning, warning! The existence of [illegible] has been confirmed. This system will now officially initiate the highest-level annihilation procedure!"
The urgent alarm made Galatron turn around and run without thinking. What was going on? Why did it immediately enter the highest level of annihilation program after confirming Leo's presence?
Did it not know that Leo possessed the energy of plasma sparks before? And what was the meaning of that word that was silenced by a mysterious force?
“Leo, the regulatory system is not out of control, but it’s no different from being out of control.”
Upon hearing the news from Galatrom, Leo's right eyelid twitched almost as fast as Magabassa's mouth. What does it mean to say that it's not out of control but is no different from being out of control? What kind of explanation is that?!
Galatrom didn't have time to explain much. The regulatory system had no intention of, or perhaps couldn't, answer her questions, and its attitude didn't improve after confirming Leo's existence.
Did Delacion leave this oversight system not to oversee the universe and the seal of ultimate darkness, but to oversee Leo himself?
The monitoring system did not prevent Galatrom from leaving, but the core system operated at an increasingly faster pace, and the data stored in the most critical location, after repeated comparisons, reached a conclusion that had already been confirmed.
The regulatory system is not out of control, but this conclusion has nothing to do with Delacion. It comes entirely from the system's own analysis and is the only path that the regulatory system currently believes in.
"Confirmed, ultimate dark energy is approaching the threshold, number 06, code name Saigoku... Output plan, acceleration plan, advance the progress."
In the miniature model of the real universe, the monitoring system has been keeping a close eye on Earth's movements, analyzing them hundreds of millions of times since the seal on Maga Orochi was broken.
The fact that Ultimate Darkness is now at risk of erupting again further confirms the conclusions drawn by the system.
Galatron broke out of the surveillance system and went outside. Without thinking, she threw out all the missiles from the Friendship Project and fled with the Snow White.
The intense explosion engulfed the entire monitoring system in an instant, but a powerful burst of energy dispersed all the smoke and dust in the next moment, revealing the monitoring system itself to be completely unharmed.
The missiles, capable of destroying planets, seemed to have failed to harm the monitoring system in the slightest, their chilling sound beginning to echo in everyone's ears.
"The conclusion is that only destruction can bring salvation."
The monitoring system, like two hands clasped together, slowly separated as the words fell. They were indeed two palms, two enormous mechanical hands that seemed capable of easily grasping everything.
The next moment, the surface patterns radiating red light surged with powerful energy, and the two enormous machines were violently transformed into countless metal cubes, which recombined and compressed in the sky. Then, what appeared before Leo and the others were two completely different Gloca Bishops, each over a thousand meters tall.
Compared to Bishop Gloca, the two robots in front of them were clearly closer to Desfasa in size, with blue-gray bodies and huge jets on their backs.
A figure wearing a cross crown, with a left hand resembling a claw similar to that of Bishop Groca, and a greatsword flashing with cold light in his right hand, whose energy reaction from the red core on his chest was exactly the same as that of Giga Endora, like a king with overwhelming power.
The other is a floral crown, with a telescopic cannon muzzle on the left and a spiral drill bit on the right that seems capable of piercing through everything, yet it is elegant in posture, like a noble queen.
"Is this the true face of the oversight system?!" Narimiya Kazuya was equally shocked and speechless. This was something he didn't know, but he just wouldn't say anything more. Just by looking at them, Leo and the others could guess how to address these two terrifying enemies.
"King Gloca, and Queen Gloca..." Leo murmured, swallowing hard. He could actually sense a tremendous power emanating from these two robots, comparable to or even slightly exceeding that of the Dark Emperor.
Is the regulatory system truly something that Delacion created with his last remaining strength? Is this the power of a legend?
No wonder Delacion didn't make any further improvements to Bishop Gloca, because there was no need. There aren't many civilizations that can defeat Bishop Gloca, and if Bishop Gloca were to be defeated, then it would be the turn of Giga Endora.
If you encounter a problem that even Giga Endora can't solve, then you have to do it yourself, unless the opponent is at the same level as you, otherwise there's not much to say.
The same applies to the regulatory system. First, use Bishop Gloca in conjunction with Gloca Chariot to launch a suppressive attack. If Bishop Gloca can't win, then use Giga Endora. If Giga Endora can't solve the problem, then King Gloca and Queen Gloca are the last trump cards.
So, how powerful are these two trump cards? This thought flashed through Leo's mind for a moment, and then he saw Queen Gloca raise the retractable cannon in her left hand.
A white light arrived in the blink of an eye. Leo, who was thinking about how to deal with it, only had time to dodge to the side. The Godler alien's body was only grazed by the light, and half of his upper body was evaporated.
The white light surged forward relentlessly, piercing through the fire behind Leo. Then, the entire fire transformed into a firework in the universe, exploding in an instant and disappearing into the darkness.
This is the weapon left behind by Delacion, powerful enough to defend the peace and order of the entire universe: the Gloca Cosmic Order Maintenance Machine.
Chapter 287 Who's so unlucky?
[Darkness materializes, Dark Lugiel!]
Without even a moment's hesitation, Leo's hand speed in taking out the Dark Spark was faster than Magabassa's speed in talking nonsense. He immediately transformed into Dark Lugiel and stood in front, decisively stacking the Spark Dolls of Ruganoga and Bishop Gloca.
Dark Lugiel, with the addition of Spark Dolls, grew rapidly in size and then charged toward King Gloca. The Dark Cloth clashed with Gloca's Greatsword, and Leo felt that he was actually being overpowered in terms of strength.
Queen Gloca's giant drill sparked a shower of sparks as it drilled through Leo's Zetton barrier, instantly shattering his defenses. Keples roared as he pushed Queen Gloca away, and a crescent-shaped beam of light burst forth.
The white barrier blocked Kepruss's crescent-shaped rays, and before Queen Gloca could retaliate, she was directly struck by Kepruss and sent flying towards Uranus in the negative universe.
Since they were originally one entity, King Gloca and Queen Gloca might even possess special abilities. Separating them would be better than keeping them together.
"Go help it!" Leo shouted to Blaze and the others. The Negative Universe is different from other universes. This lost universe has no starlight and cannot provide Keprus with much power. It is basically relying on the energy of the Baltan aliens to stay afloat.
Blazer thought for a moment, then decisively chased after Queen Gloca. They chose to trust Nix's judgment, leaving Max and Jaden to handle things here.
King Groka possessed immense power. Ultimately, compressing half the size of the moon to only a kilometer in size, the sheer weight of that thing was enough to obliterate the Earth if it were to crash into it.
As a supervisory system left behind by Delacion, King Gloca's power is exceptionally terrifying. Leo has no doubt that this enormous war machine has the power to wipe out an entire universe, but he doesn't understand why.
"Answer me, regulatory system, why must humanity be destroyed?"
"This system refuses to answer." King Gloca's voice was icy, but the thrusters behind him suddenly increased their output. "Target: Reionics, human, must be eliminated!"
Leo clearly felt that he was weaker than his opponent. "Is it related to the River of Oblivion!?"
"..." King Groka did not answer, but its increased power told Leo that this was indeed the case; the River of Oblivion was the key, and its existence was the fundamental reason why King Groka made this judgment.
But why not say that King Gloca has the power of Delacion, which even the Dark Spark, which has grown to this level, cannot affect it, and the River of Oblivion cannot possibly restrain its tongue.
"Forget it, let's finish this first," Leo decided. Sensing his thoughts, Empera immediately returned to his side and crashed into the Dark Spark.
[Darkness materializes and merges, Alien Empera]
Although Emperor Empera's power is much weaker than when he was the Dark Emperor, it is still far greater than the boost provided by the Spark Doll.
Empowered by the power of the Dark Emperor, Dark Lugiel's eyes flashed red, and his strength increased, pushing King Gloca back. Then, Leo flew towards Earth in the Negative Universe, shouting, "Come with me!"
Jet teleported and punched out the core of a Gloca bishop. Watching Leo and the Gloca king fight, she felt somewhat worried, but they were indeed unable to participate in a battle at Huan's level at the moment.
Feelings of resentment surged up again. Jetton dodged Bishop Gloca's sneak attack and then used a stacked storm attack to severely injure him, allowing Max's head crest to finish him off.
Why does it feel like the strength of mass-produced machines is really declining? Zetton couldn't help but think this. You know, at the beginning, just the Bishop Gloca, who was transformed from Saint Delos's resentment, took everyone a long time to deal with, but now it seems like they are only dealing with a slightly weaker enemy.
However, upon closer examination, it's not hard to see that this feeling mainly stems from the fact that everyone is getting stronger at a rather rapid pace.
A month ago, Bishop Gloca could easily defeat everyone; half a month ago, Bishop Gloca could make everyone suffer; but now, Bishop Gloca... has no light absorption, no barrier defense, no regeneration, and no teleportation. What are you going to use to fight him?
The blue-haired youth type Komon, Tiga who is inexplicably always very strong despite not changing his form, Blaze with huge base stats, Orb wielding the Holy Sword, Justice in Smash Mode, Cosmos in Cosmic Corona, Gaia S, and Agul is currently the weakest in terms of apparent strength among this group.
With that, plus the energy buff from Mini Baltan, the group became incredibly powerful.
As for Zetton? His talent is terrifying, his future is limitless, he has Leo backing him up, and his energy is plentiful. Zetton himself even thinks that if he didn't need to supply so much energy to the monsters, Leo might have already taken off by now.
However, the current situation is still very troublesome, because there are too many Gloca bishops. Max's clone can only provide cover for everyone, and Leo's monsters gradually devour the Gloca cluster.
But with the appearance of King and Queen Gloca, the entire Gloca fleet received orders and began to rush towards the passage between the two universes without regard for the consequences.
Even if Zetton and his group could defeat Bishop Gloca with some difficulty, they would still find it impossible to wipe out this number of opponents in one go; that would be a pipe dream.
Even more critically, after Leo and Caprus left, Giga Endora was activated immediately. As a planetary cleanup weapon, Giga Endora's power was undoubtedly immense.
Max's clones, along with Max himself, will likely be unable to withstand Giga Endora's attacks, at which point a gap will definitely appear in the defense.
No, Galatron thought for a moment. Considering that the Dark Shadow Mage and Zagi would take action, Renlong and the others might not be able to handle it. In such a situation, more than a dozen Bishops of Gloca would be enough to destroy the entire Earth.
The Giga Endora's mechanical arms fully extended, and a massive amount of energy gathered at the launch port. Galatron estimated that the penetrating power of this shot might not be as strong as Queen Gloca's giant cannon, but its kill radius would definitely be much larger.
The planetary reset beam emitted from the core device of Giga Endora can instantly restore the surface ecosystem to an inorganic state, with an area equal to the surface area of the Earth.
Galactron gritted his teeth, quickly chased after it, and took down one of the Gloca Bishops that had broken through Max's defenses. He then blocked the entire Gloca cluster, and his core emitted a ripple, with light and sound spreading outwards at the same time.
"Target confirmed, Gloca Bishops, judgment begins... judgment complete. The Gloca system has been confirmed to be harmful to civilization. Activation of the final annihilation weapon is permitted. Core power reactor charging begins. Crimson Steel status, good."
