Upon seeing the drawn instance, Chen Yu's blood pressure surged unexpectedly.
But the rewards for this mission were indeed generous!
Setting aside the Power of Purification, just the first mission reward, a Tree of Life, was enough to shock Chen Yu.
Such a treasure, once grown, could bear Fruits of Life capable of detoxifying all poisons and curing all diseases!
If this appeared in the real world, it would undoubtedly cause a frenzy.
"I must find a safe place to plant it if I manage to acquire this reward..."
The difficulty lay here; a Tree of Life reaching into the clouds would definitely be discovered by others once planted.
But these concerns were for after the mission. Chen Yu's immediate worry was how to tackle the current challenge.
Like a TV screen shutting off, Chen Yu vanished from his room and appeared in a desolate land.
Looking around, Chen Yu realized he wasn't on Earth.
Turning around, he confirmed his location was indeed as he suspected — the Royal Planet Kanon.
Lush green giants stood not far ahead, their towering branches swaying in the wind.
The twinkling lights on the tree were the Fruits of Life from the Tree of Life, possessing mysterious powers.
"Everything seems peaceful. Has the storyline not progressed to a point of no return?"
As Chen Yu walked towards the Tree of Life, he pondered.
Soon, standing under the colossal tree, he couldn't help but marvel at its magic; merely being in its shade felt refreshing as if all ailments were leaving his body.
Chen Yu had trained his body, inevitably causing some inevitable damage.
Being near the Tree of Life, he felt as if these injuries were healing.
Of course, it was just a feeling.
Eating a Fruit of Life would likely repair any physical ailments in a short time.
Though tempted to transform and fly up to pluck a Fruit of Life, Chen Yu restrained himself.
The Fruits could be picked later. His primary task now was to contact the royal family of Planet Kanon.
In truth, Chen Yu wasn't impressed by the planet's defense measures. Such an important Tree of Life had no guards.
Moreover, many of Kanon's natives lived near the Tree.
Although the inhabitants of Planet Kanon were aliens, they looked no different from humans on Earth.
When Chen Yu inquired about the royal residence in a residential area, a child pointed him in the right direction.
The luxurious castle palace nearby was undoubtedly where the Kanon royal family resided.
Nodding, Chen Yu headed towards the palace.
Unexpectedly, a figure in a white dress appeared ahead, comforting the locals.
Judging by her dress and the guards around her, she was undoubtedly the Planet Kanon's Queen Amate.
Without hesitation, Chen Yu approached her.
However, as he neared Queen Amate, guards blocked his path with swords drawn.
"Who are you, and what are your intentions approaching the Queen!"
Two guards questioned Chen Yu sternly.
Queen Amate turned to face Chen Yu.
After examining his attire, she said, "Lower your swords; he is not an enemy."
"Hm?" Chen Yu, who had been about to explain himself, was puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, this is our first meeting. How do you know I'm not an enemy?"
"Your attire is similar to that of Ultraman Gaia's Musashi Haruno," Queen Amate observed Chen Yu's clothing. "If I'm not mistaken, you're from Earth, right?"
"Indeed, Your Majesty, you've seen right through me," Chen Yu acknowledged. "I am from Earth and have come to aid Planet Kanon."
Realizing Queen Amate's intelligence wasn't as low as he had feared, Chen Yu went along and stated his purpose.
However, when Chen Yu expressed his desire to help Planet Kanon, Queen Amate shook her head and said, "No need, please leave."
This response left Chen Yu completely baffled.
He came to assist Planet Kanon, yet Queen Amate refused his help?
Was she worried he wasn't strong enough to face the invading monster legion?
Queen Amate seemed to sense Chen Yu's confusion and explained with a sigh:
"Before you, Ultraman Dyna Asuka, Ultraman Gaia Musashi Haruno, and Ultraman Orb Gai... all fell into Belsebub's trap and were infected with puppet poison during their attempt to help us."
"So…" Queen Amate shook her head sorrowfully, "We cannot allow Planet Kanon to harm you further."
Chen Yu hadn't expected this reason for her refusal.
This revelation changed his view of the often frustrating Queen Amate from the original storyline.
It seemed she was too kind-hearted, leading to many questionable decisions as a queen.
"It's alright, Your Majesty," Chen Yu quickly said, "If there's danger, I'll run. That way, you won't have to worry about me, right?"
After hesitating, Queen Amate, not wanting to seem heartless by refusing his persistent offer, nodded and said, "If you do face danger, please escape first. I don't want to involve anyone else anymore."
Just then, a figure in black armor approached Chen Yu and said, "You, boy, are you also a Giant of Light?"
