Chapter 306 The Giant of Light's Worries
Batman would say that the first Batman came at just the right time.
Without him, I really don't know what to do now.
Since the Giant of Light was able to trace back from the previous point in time, there is no doubt that he can continue tracing back as well.
Of course, no problem. But before that, the first generation's finger pinched the empty space by itself, and with a "pop," this light movement seemed to pop a green bubble.
The disguise magic faded, and Loki, who had escaped disguised as a fly, revealed his true form, and was thus truly held in the hand of the First Hokage as if he were a fly:
[What should we do with this suspicious-looking guy?]
How could you see me?!
Loki, who had been grabbed from his hiding place, flashed away from the First Generation's grasp and hurriedly flapped his wings, which were not yet fully transformed, to escape.
He's the god of lies and tricks, so how come he can see through everyone's disguise these days?
"You shouldn't be able to see me!"
Don't run!
The First Generation didn't hold back. He used his telekinesis to immediately disrupt Loki's flight rhythm, then crossed his arms, and a beam of light energy burst forth from his body, transforming into several circular chains that chased after Loki, quickly binding him securely.
Loki, who was still desperately flapping his wings, immediately let out a miserable cry and fell from the sky, landing once again in the giant of light's five fingers.
Pure white chains of light bound Loki tightly, and the God of Lies, now under control, finally had no choice but to submit.
Looking at Loki's two darting eyes, the First Avenger knew that this guy would definitely not behave, so he simply added a few more layers of protection for him.
In addition to the chains of light binding him, the original Loki added two extra layers of barriers to ensure he couldn't break free for a short period.
[Stay here and don't move, I'll be right back.]
These words were not only spoken to Loki, the prisoner, but also to Batman, who was stranded there.
The original Batman, who had been following the scent all the way, began searching for Joey's whereabouts again. The Star of Light's mode of transportation might not be suitable for a mortal like Batman, so he had to go there on his own.
The giant red ball smashed through the spacetime barrier, and this time the original directly followed Joey's vital signs and hit him squarely, arriving at a planet illuminated by a red sun.
F Star.
As soon as he landed, before the first generation could even observe his surroundings, he noticed a figure flying up beside him.
Joey stood on the shoulder of the giant of light, sighing deeply:
"Ah, if only you had come a year or two earlier, I—I've almost finished building the portal home!"
The First Generation glanced at Joey's attire and noticed something unusual: "Is the environment on this planet harmful to you?"
Yes, Joey is now wearing a heavyweight protective suit, lined with layers of various materials ranging from lead to chromium, titanium, and gold.
He was wrapped up completely from head to toe.
Joey, who was wrapped up in layers of clothing and couldn't breathe, was certainly not afraid of the planet's environment. Ordinary humans could live healthily on this planet for thousands of years, let alone the first Kryptonian like himself.
He isolated himself so completely from the environment mainly for another reason:
"That's a bit hard to explain."
In reality, it's impossible to explain.
What could Joey say—that Doomsday's evolution went awry, causing some problems with his own body?
The problem manifests itself in the fact that he now continuously releases pheromones, causing any Kryptonian creatures he comes into contact with to become sexually aroused with him.
This is practically like awakening some indescribable hentai male body constitution. It's not much better than the parasitic form of the Doomsday spores, where a new individual grows out of the host's body!
The Resident Evil game has been transformed into an indescribable Resident Evil mod version, and neither of these modes is suitable for broadcast on children's channels!
Having gained a preliminary understanding of his physical condition, Joey realized that this strange phase should only last for a short period of time, but the universe where Planet F is located is different from other normal universes.
The difference in the flow of time in this universe compared to Earth is not only reflected in space, but also in all matter.
To put it simply, the natives of Planet F would age rapidly even if they were placed in an environment like Earth, the home planet of the Invincible Young Hero, and vice versa.
A human being could live in such a universe for hundreds of years without feeling much aging; it would be as if they were eternally young.
Therefore, for outsiders like Joey, their physical development is almost stagnant when they are placed in this universe.
As a result, he is still unable to shake off this state of being prone to making mistakes at any time, especially since he is not the only Kryptonian being in this universe.
To prevent this unbroadcastable evolutionary phase from making even bigger mistakes, Joey had no choice but to wrap himself up in layers upon layers of clothing.
Anyway, he has now evolved to the point where he can absorb all the red sunlight, just like Doomsday. He can even live until the universe is destroyed by photosynthesis. It's no big deal if he doesn't come into contact with any matter or the outside world.
Unfortunately, although Joey didn't say it aloud, the intense turmoil in his heart left the original speechless:
[If there's something you don't want to talk about, then you'd better not dwell on it.]
Because of their previous fusion, the original Ultraman is still connected to Joey to some extent. Although they are not completely in sync, Joey's unfamiliarity with telepathy can still lead to some information leaks during telepathic communication.
In particular, the first generation quickly saw Kara, with a cold face, slowly approaching, but always maintaining a "safe distance" of tens of miles from Joey.
The Giant of Light's mind works very quickly:
[I won't judge you. We Ultramen have different views from humans and yours.]
The original tm, what's the point of having such a good imagination!
Realizing that the original had already filled in the whole story in his mind, Joey became furious, wishing he could just crawl into the original's head through his earlobe and kill him to silence him.
"Tell me, how can I erase an Ultraman's memories?"
[That might be a bit difficult—stop joking. Basically, you're a completely different species from the rest of the Kryptonians, so what's so embarrassing about it?]
The first generation's forced attempt to save face resulted in Joey's complete redness; he had already rummaged through every remaining fragment of his memory:
"I need to figure out a way to make you completely forget everything!"
After the playful fight, just like the previous few months, Joey, who had been trying to convince himself to accept reality every single day, touched his barely grown stubble through his heavy protective suit and sighed deeply:
"Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back!"
At present, we can only hope that after Joey returns to a universe with a relatively normal flow of time, his body will stabilize and he will no longer be in this indescribable state.
Ever since Joey and Kara visited Planet F and weathered the initial period of chaos, the Kryptonians, once they took action, almost instantly rendered the native green-skinned F-soldiers incapable of resistance.
The next step was to have them mobilize resources again to create a portal for Joey and Kara to return to the Invincible Young Hero universe.
Just as they were communicating telepathically with the first generation, a green-skinned scientist, carried by a spacecraft, also flew up from the cluster of teleportation devices.
I found Joey with great excitement:
"Revered Sun God."
Upon hearing this address, Joy frowned, her eyes widening even more than when the First Hokage had filled in all the gaps in his imagination. "Huh?!!!!!"
Under Joey's threatening gaze, the scientist, who had initially appeared indifferent, quickly changed his tune:
"Well, Superman, the portal is ready. Are you really leaving?"
With the portal about to open, the immediate question is: what should F-Star do?
These greenskins are now quite a few of them thinking they're some kind of sun god, which leaves Joey speechless.
He didn't do anything special. All he did was manually move the orbit of Star F closer to the Sun by 20 light-seconds in order to solve the problem of global cooling.
Joey's evolution, by harnessing energy from the sun on Planet F, lowered the planet's long-term average temperature by at least 7 degrees Celsius.
This is a catastrophe of mass extinction level for the original ecosystem.
Logically speaking, a civilization like Planet F, with technology superior to Earth's, should have a solution. However, the problem is that these green-skinned people who only know how to invade don't follow common sense.
Almost all of their technological advancements were focused on foreign invasions and wars; their understanding of social governance and productivity systems was rather abstract.
Therefore, Joey had to solve some of the simpler problems himself.
It's hard to imagine that words like laser guns, space stations, and exoskeletons could coexist with words like slavery, theocracy, and kings in a society, but F Planet did just that.
Although Joey conveniently removed the king and transformed their luxurious palace into a museum that even members of the royal family had to pay to visit, this was only the result of a short period of time.
This race has never been the type that is good at farming and cultivating crops; their long-developed social structure has dictated that they must invade other areas to release internal pressure.
If, like now, there were a Kryptonian watching over them, ready to help them through difficulties and resolve survival crises, that would be much better.
Once Joey leaves, F Planet, left without its care, will likely soon have to return to its old ways of invasion.
But in the universe of the Invincible Young Heroes, there are still two troublesome Kryptonians. Without Joey's whereabouts, it's hard to imagine whether those two Kryptonians will vent their anger by attacking everything around them.
"Go ahead, I'll look after things here for now."
After learning about the situation, the first generation accepted the task without hesitation. As for the "temporary" part, it could be a very long time.
What might be a day for Joey on the other side could be a decade or more on this side, but the time difference between the two is utterly insignificant to beings like the original, whose ages are in the hundreds of millions.
[Once you resolve things on that side, the F-star people on this side might find a better path.]
If it were the original Ultraman, he wouldn't be as direct as Joey. Ultraman generally doesn't interfere with the race's own choices unless the situation is truly urgent.
But this is a last resort – for the Giants of Light, dealing with Kryptonians is indeed quite difficult.
It's easy to make him quickly charge up a Kryptonian like Kara, but how to quickly discharge him is another matter that needs to be studied.
[etc.]
Before Joey and Kara could step into the portal and leave, the original called out to Joey, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
The last metal rod, its tip shimmering with a faint red light, fell from the sky and landed in Joey's hand:
[This is the Beta Wand. With it, you can—]
Overjoyed, Joey nearly crushed the Beta Wand, his eyes gleaming: "So I can transform into a Super Ultra Kryptonian?"
[No, with this, I can send you Ultraman signatures in time.]
The original intention was to say that the Beta Wand's functions could only be temporarily partially unlocked for Joey:
Ultraman's power is irrelevant to you, but you need to understand your inner self and reconcile with the darkness within you; otherwise, the combination of the two is far too dangerous.
The battle with Galactus still haunted the original, and if it weren't for the Ultimate Eraser cleaning up the mess, his fusion with Joey might have created an uncontrollable super monster.
So for now, we should just be on the safe side.
"oh."
Joey, who was overjoyed, suddenly felt bored. He had thought that he would not only be able to walk directly into the phone booth, but also take out the Beta Wand to transform into a second form!
So this thing in my hand is now just an instant messaging tool.
Don't let your guard down, be prepared. I have a feeling that, perhaps because of that giant robot, an even greater crisis is imminent.
We must stay in touch at all times!
During the original series' journey to find Joey, they glimpsed a clue beyond the universe.
His experience as the Giant of Light told him that the entire multiverse in which Ultron existed was likely in extreme danger.
But even with his knowledge, he couldn't discern the specific nature of the crisis, which made him extremely worried.
The original had a premonition that to save more universes from this crisis, they would probably have to rely on the power of Joey, the Kryptonian.
