Chapter 117 Humans Facing Monsters
"How's the situation, A-Jiu? Have you found any clues about the otherworldly monster?"
It was another peaceful night, with no trouble occurring and the streets remaining calm. After a short rest, Haruki headed towards the Mage Guild, still feeling unsettled about the important clue he had discovered the previous night.
"According to the analysis of the magical remnants of the Inhuman, the magic she used is indeed related to the substances on the black and white monsters, both of which belong to a kind of energy transformation technology."
Our guild has indeed researched the technology of converting one's own energy and combining it to form the substances one needs, but we haven't reached the point where we can create monsters yet. On the contrary, this high-precision technology reminds me a lot of…”
"It's similar to Ultraman's ability, right? Converting energy into body components and gaining corresponding superpowers in the process."
As A-Kyu was explaining, he subconsciously glanced at the Yugi Pure Crystal on Haruki's wrist. Haruki understood why A-Kyu did this; Ultraman's abilities were inherently mysterious to humans.
“In our world, it’s not just Ultraman who has this technology. There are also many cosmic monsters that are born with the ability to convert energy into matter. Moreover, those monsters also have the ability to travel between stars. This is a real headache for our Ultraman race.”
"'Interstellar travel'? What does that mean?"
"Simply put, it means being able to travel from one world to another. In our universe, there are many monsters that plunder the energy of one world and then conquer other worlds to continue to plunder their energy. They are all very annoying and troublesome beings."
Zeta explained the matter of the special space monsters to Aji. Although Aji couldn't fully understand, he at least understood how terrifying these monsters were through Zeta's explanation, and that they had to be careful in order to eliminate them.
While Zeta and Agu were talking, Haruki continued to think. If the otherworldly monsters in Wolf State were indeed cosmic monsters from their world, then Haruki had some experience and ideas on how to deal with them.
"Although we don't know the purpose of that alien in summoning the black and white monsters, creating two giant beasts must have consumed a lot of her energy. She must have been replenishing her energy during this time. If she uses monsters as her energy source, could we set up bait to lure her out?"
Haruki's flash of inspiration greatly inspired Aku and Zeta: skipping the analysis of motives and directly targeting the characteristics of the Inhumans would indeed be the most effective way to capture them.
"But isn't it a bit risky to do this? The wolf riders certainly won't easily agree to using monsters as bait, and there's a high chance they'll object."
"Therefore, we need to discuss this plan together, and we need to be quick! This method will only be effective before the aliens replenish their energy, and only in this way can more lives be spared from harm!"
With the plan finalized, it was time to gather the team for discussions. Yao Hui's plan was unique, but its implementation was also extremely risky. After all, their opponent was an alien with an unknown status, and the force behind her was likely the otherworldly monster that terrified the entire Wolf State.
The members gathered at the Magicians' Guild. Yaohui and Sean were already in place, waiting for the others to arrive. Ajiu arrived with Zhaoyu and other guild members to stand by. The captain led the Wolf Knights' combat representatives to cooperate with the hero's actions. Luo Yi leaned against the wall, not with the others, but just looked at the hero's majesty and smiled to himself.
“Everyone is here. I’ll get straight to the point about the purpose of this meeting. The motives and whereabouts of the Strange Person are currently unknown, but the guild has confirmed that she is the one controlling the Black and White Monsters to do evil. After those two giant beasts are destroyed, she will definitely need to replenish her energy during this period. So my plan is to set up a lure to draw her out.”
"But isn't that alien person connected to otherworldly monsters? If she needs to replenish her energy, she might just be doing the same thing as those otherworldly monsters—harming them to gain energy, right?"
Zhao Yu's question caused those present to look troubled. Everyone now understood what the hero meant by the bait, and the members of the Wolf Knights had the most solemn expressions.
The majority of the Wolf Knights are human, but they primarily govern the monsters on behalf of the Wolf Lord. Using live monsters as bait for otherworldly monsters would certainly violate the Wolf Knights' principles.
All the members of the Wolf Knights present looked at their captain. Even though they had a thousand thoughts in their minds, they still hoped that their captain could get them a more satisfactory order in this situation.
"Captain, this..."
"No rush, let the hero finish speaking. I believe he is not a cold-blooded person."
The captain sat calmly in his seat, waiting for Yaohui to finish speaking. The strategy against the otherworldly monsters was a matter of great importance concerning the safety of the entire Wolf State. Even if the measures were somewhat extreme, the captain had to accept them appropriately as long as they were effective.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Yaohui continued speaking. Everyone was now listening carefully to Yaohui's words, and no one wanted the following actions to develop in an extreme direction.
"So my plan is this: the Wolf Knights will issue orders to the surrounding monster groups, telling them not to go out easily, not to act alone, to ensure the safety of their groups, and to avoid any suspicious monsters, so as not to give the otherworldly monsters the opportunity to continue to do evil."
"Mage Guild, I need you to find a solution to the Otherworldly beings as soon as possible. It doesn't necessarily have to be to eliminate them; just something that can restrict their movement and prevent them from escaping so easily."
Both the Wolf Knights and the Mage Guild received their own missions, but the issue of bait, which was of utmost concern to everyone, remained unresolved.
"Okay, Yaohui, I will concentrate the guild's resources to give you a result as soon as possible, I promise."
"No, Zhaoyu, put the guild matters aside for now. I need you to do something more important."
Zhao Yu's enthusiastic response was interrupted by Yao Hui, who didn't understand how she could help everyone besides coordinating matters with the Mage Guild.
“I saw you attract all the controlled winged pegasi before. I need you to do that again, but this time it’s for otherworldly monsters.”
"Are you asking me to be this 'bait,' Haruki?"
“Yes, Zhaoyu, I need you to fake the cry of a wounded monster who is out alone, so that you become the easiest prey in the eyes of that alien or otherworldly monster, thus lowering her guard so that we can carry out our encirclement.”
As soon as Yao Hui came to his conclusion, a murmur of discussion arose. Zhao Yu did indeed have the ability in this area, but asking an ordinary person to face a terrifying otherworldly monster made everyone think that Yao Hui was overthinking things.
"As soon as that being that doesn't belong to this world shows up, I'll immediately have Zeta teleport our main force there to surround it and try to take it down in one fell swoop!"
Yugi Pure Crystal lit up, generating a teleportation array for Gamma Future. Haruki reached out and caught an acorn picked from the Tsuchiya region from the array, thus demonstrating Ultraman Zeta's spatial teleportation ability.
"Isn't this a bit too risky, Haruki? The incident with the Winged Horse herd was already extremely dangerous. To subject Akio to an even more terrifying danger is perhaps a bit too much..."
"No need to say anything more, Ajiu. I understand Yaohui's intentions, and I know that only I can do this kind of thing. Besides, if I want to protect our homeland, I have to work even harder, don't I?"
As the sun shifts and shines brighter, vibrant life emerges beneath the vast earth. A struggle to break through darkness and reach the light begins, and a miracle of life, accumulated under layers of pressure, is brewing.
