Warrior of Compassion

"Turn down power that was handed to him?!"

"Is he even a normal person?!"

Everyone on Douluo Continent was left scratching their heads.

When they saw Taiga Nozomu push back the power Zero had offered him, they were completely dumbfounded.

Not only had he obtained power they could only dream of, but he didn't even want it.

It really seemed to them that Taiga Nozomu was wasting a priceless treasure.

But there was another question.

In this situation, without a fighter jet and without transforming into an Ultra Warrior,

how was Taiga Nozomu supposed to escape the Monster's pursuit?

[Taiga Nozomu ran away with the boy. When they reached the bridge, the Monster plunged into the water as well.]

[Suddenly, a gigantic drill appeared beneath their feet.]

[The Monster surfaced and destroyed the entire bridge. Taiga Nozomu, who was holding the boy, was thrown into the air.]

Just as everyone on Douluo Continent thought the two of them were about to die,

[while holding the boy, Taiga Nozomu actually leaped through the air from fragment to fragment of the shattered bridge]

[after several consecutive jumps, he landed on the Monster's drill]

[then he ran away, looking almost as if he were playing around]

After what they had just witnessed, everyone on Douluo Continent was stunned.

"Is this guy Superman?"

"He doesn't even have a Martial Soul, yet his body is this strong. Is he really an Earthling?"

"Even a Titled Douluo would have no choice but to run in that situation, yet this Earthling is pulling off moves as if he's playing around."

From the conversation between Taiga Nozomu and Ultraman Zero shown on the Sky Screen, they had discovered that Taiga Nozomu's extraordinary strength had actually been bestowed on him by Ultraman Zero.

So becoming a Human Host didn't just give someone a device that could transform them into an Ultraman.

It also enhanced their physical strength and skills.

This showed that Ultraman Zero was not only powerful in his own right, but also possessed extraordinary fighting skills.

But as long as Taiga Nozomu didn't transform into an Ultra Warrior, he still had no way to defeat this Monster.

He even had a boy with him. If anything went wrong, both of them would be in grave danger.

Yet even in this situation, Taiga Nozomu still hadn't chosen to transform into an Ultra Warrior.

Even Bibi Dong wondered if there was something wrong with the man.

[But when Taiga Nozomu landed, the Monster stopped and did not continue its pursuit.]

The Sky Screen's view shifted, and everyone on Douluo Continent saw another new Ultra Warrior.

This Ultra Warrior was colored blue and silver all over, with not a trace of red. He also had a gentle, refined air about him.

[Ultraman Zero: "Cosmos? Was he summoned here by that voice too?"]

At the same time, the Sky Screen began introducing the identity of this mysterious Ultra Warrior.

[Ultraman Cosmos]

[A Giant of Light from Planet Juran (a planet teeming with Monsters who nevertheless live together in peace)]

[Height: 47 meters]

[Weight: 42,000 tons]

[Flight speed: Mach 7]

[Title: Warrior of Compassion (official); high-grade fusion material (unofficial); master of slacking off (unofficial)]

As Ultraman Cosmos was introduced, the Sky Screen's image changed to show him on Planet Juran.

The planet was covered in mountains and forests, where countless Monsters lived together in harmony.

Ultraman Cosmos was among them, living in peace as if they were all one big family.

Among the Soul Beast faction,

Di Tian's alarm bells rang.

He turned around, only to see Gu Yuena already standing before him.

Di Tian could only think, This is bad.

But the scene he'd feared—Gu Yuena rushing out in a frenzy to surrender to the Ultraman—never happened.

Just then, Xiong Jun came over and spoke:

"An hour has passed."

Only after hearing those words did Di Tian finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Yuena had returned to normal at the very last moment.

Still, seeing Ultraman Cosmos had deeply moved Gu Yuena.

"Planet Juran... This is the world our Soul Beasts have dreamed of."

In that world, Soul Beasts no longer had to hide from one another, nor did they have to fall asleep out of fear of the gods.

The Soul Beasts could undergo their tribulations in peace, without worrying about disturbing anyone.

Gu Yuena sighed.

But now that she had returned to normal, she was still very cautious.

This was how Ultraman Cosmos treated the Monsters native to his world. How would he treat Monsters from elsewhere?

The scene on the Sky Screen that followed quickly answered her question.

[Ultraman Cosmos struck a fighting pose. After easily dodging the Monster's attack, he counterattacked.]

[But he did not use any excessively violent attacks. Instead, it seemed as though he was holding back.]

[At last, Ultraman Cosmos unleashed his finishing move.]

[Full Moon Rect]

[Under the radiance of the Full Moon Rect, the Monster gradually calmed down, then slowly departed.]

Everyone on Douluo Continent stared in bewilderment.

There was actually a way to fight like that?!

Inside the Reception Room,

Bibi Dong rested a finger against her chin and nodded as she murmured,

"So this is the Warrior of Compassion? The title certainly suits him. But what are those other two titles about?"

But when she turned her gaze, it wasn't toward Xiao Che.

It was toward Qian Renxue, who had already recovered.

At the same time, Xiao Che was looking at Qian Renxue with amused interest.

Qian Renxue's cheeks were flushed as she hurriedly composed herself.

Then she dropped to her knees before Xiao Che at lightning speed to apologize.

"Your Excellency! I sincerely apologize! During that hour earlier, I was greatly disrespectful to you. Whatever compensation you desire, the Worship Hall will do everything in its power to provide, to make up for my rudeness."

Xiao Che burst out laughing, speaking between laughs:

"Qian Renxue, I liked you better when you were so arrogant and defiant."

Then Xiao Che coughed twice, still smiling.

"I haven't decided what I want as compensation, so I'll leave it for later. For now, just watch the Sky Screen."

Qian Renxue nodded, not daring to say another word.

After all, this person could destroy Douluo Continent with a casual wave of his hand.

Even knowing he was an Ultra Warrior, she couldn't afford to be so rude if he decided to do something like that.

"I will remember Your Excellency's generosity."

Bibi Dong cheerfully turned back around.

She had at least managed to get one over on Qian Renxue.

Then she asked,

"Your Excellency, why does Ultraman Cosmos have those other two titles?"

Xiao Che answered casually,

"Because the Mysterious Four Ultras appeared, Ultraman Cosmos was a necessary part of the equation. And the Ultraman Cosmos we're seeing now isn't using his full power. Like Dyna before him, he has other forms."

"But even though he has stronger forms, he keeps helping out in his basic Luna Mode. Isn't that just slacking off? Of course, that's only a joke."

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue nodded.

Although Xiao Che was laughing heartily, they certainly couldn't laugh along.

Even if Xiao Che didn't mind, they still felt they weren't entitled to laugh.

Xiao Che could joke because he was an Ultra Warrior, making fun of another Ultra Warrior.

But what right did people from Douluo Continent—who weren't even qualified to earn the approval of an Ultra Warrior—have to laugh at one?
