"The cooldown period for instance drawing has ended. Randomly drawing now…"
"Drawing complete."
"Instance drawn: Super Battle! Belial Galactic Empire!"
"Instance difficulty: Hell!"
"Instance description: The trajectory of the world's rotation has deviated. Ultraman Zero has used up his three energy reserves in an alternate dimension universe and can no longer transform into an Ultraman to fight! Belial's claws have also stretched from the alternate dimension universe towards the Land of Light!"
"Instance task one: Prevent Belial from transporting the Dark Legion to the Land of Light!"
"Task reward: Darklops Zero Summon Cards ×20"
"Instance task two: Save the alternate dimension universe by annihilating Belial!"
"Task reward: Infinite Emerald Ore!"
Upon seeing the rewards for the two tasks, a smile appeared on Chen Yu's face.
Excellent, very excellent!
Twenty Darklops Zero Summon Cards, meaning he could throw these 20 summon cards out in battle to gang up on the target.
As for the Emerald Ore, its energy content was immense. Belial could even use this ore to create a million-strong Dark Mechanized Legion, using the energy from the Emerald Ore to send this million-strong legion through hyperspace to another dimensional universe!
Most importantly, the reward listed the Emerald Ore as infinite!
This meant that by completing this task, he would obtain an endless source of mineral energy!
Inside his room, Chen Yu prepared himself, his figure slowly disappearing from the real world.
…
Planet Anu.
This was a planet filled with yellow dust, where the inhabitants looked similar to humans from Earth.
However, their attire was ragged, giving off a vibe of another world.
Chen Yu appeared on this dusty land, walking along a mine path, observing his surroundings.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake.
The people around him reacted, screaming and running for their lives.
"Run! The enemy is coming!"
"Move it! It's Belial's Dark Mechanized Legion!"
"..."
Such cries became more numerous as people scattered.
Soon, a mechanical monster named Reginald descended from the sky, followed by another.
These two mechanical monsters posed a significant threat to the people of Planet Anu.
Moreover, countless battleships of the Belial Galactic Empire lingered in the sky, ready to further assault Planet Anu.
Two figures, one big and one small, watched the two Reginalds calmly, then looked at each other.
"Anu Defense Force, deploy!"
"Right on!"
These two were Lan and Koji from Planet Anu, part of the protagonist group.
Normally, Lan would merge with Ultraman Zero at a critical moment.
Quickly, a barely operational spaceship piloted by Lan and Koji took off.
They charged towards one of the Reginalds.
After drawing the attention of Reginald, the spaceship headed towards a volcanic lava pit.
Reginald, being a mechanical monster, dove into the lava, following Lan and Koji's lure.
Returning to the edge of the volcano, Lan and Koji disembarked from the ship, smiling at the lava.
"Such a minor Reginald, not a match for Anu's Defense Force at all."
Koji said confidently.
Despite appearing only as a primary schooler, Koji knew quite a lot.
While discussing their victory, Reginald suddenly emerged from the lava... it turns out, the mechanical monster wasn't afraid of lava's temperature at all.
The ground shook as Reginald landed, causing Lan and Koji to lose their balance and almost fall into the lava.
Fortunately, Lan grabbed a sharp rock at the volcano's edge, catching Koji as he fell.
Just then, a rope fell from above.
"Hold on, I'll pull you up."
Chen Yu, holding the other end of the rope, called out to Lan and Koji.
Typically, Ultraman Zero would appear to save Lan and Koji.
However, Ultraman Zero was nowhere to be seen, likely having exhausted his energy on the way.
"The deviation in the world's trajectory is too great," Chen Yu complained while pulling the rope, "How are we to defeat Arch Belial without Zero?"
Defeating Arch Belial was a future concern; Chen Yu now had to deal with the Belial Legion that had descended on Planet Anu.
These Belial Legions came to Planet Anu to mine Emerald Ore. If they succeeded, the Dark Mechanized Legion would grow even more.
Transform and fight? With so many enemies, it might not be possible.
Moreover, Chen Yu wasn't sure if he, like Zero, would face energy limitations in this universe.
After pulling Lan and Koji up, the two repeatedly thanked Chen Yu.
Chen Yu dismissed the thanks, as they all shared a common enemy: the Belial Legion.
"Let's find somewhere to hide first!"
Koji suggested, running off with Lan towards the distance.
Chen Yu followed the two brothers into a cave.
Inside the dimly lit cave, Koji rummaged through the dirt and found a green ore.
"This is the Emerald Ore, right?"
Chen Yu asked, looking at the green ore in Koji's hand.
"Yes, if we activate it, we can use it for lighting."
Koji nodded, took a special device from his waist, and fired a purple laser at the Emerald Ore.
Almost instantly, the Emerald Ore lit up, illuminating the entire cave.
Soon, the trio reached the cave's depths, where the outside noise couldn't be heard, appearing to be quite safe.
Only then did Lan and Koji sit on a rock to rest, looking at Chen Yu and asking, "Judging by your attire, you're not from Planet Anu, are you?"
"Indeed not," Chen Yu nodded, "I come from Earth."
"Earth? Never heard of it." Koji shook his head, "But it's amazing that you look no different from us."
"What do you plan to do next?"
Chen Yu pondered and asked the two.
Since the story hadn't unfolded as originally expected, the road ahead would be difficult.
Especially without the powerful ally Ultraman Zero, facing the Belial Legion and Arch Belial would be even more challenging.
"This stone." Koji held the stone around his neck, "We just need to find the Parajium Shield, put this stone back in its place, and this universe will be saved!"
