"Still, this Warrior of Compassion really is extraordinary. Even an existence like one of the Mysterious Four Ultras needs him to appear—and there are even two of him."
Bibi Dong had thought Ultraman Zero was the Ultra Warrior with the strongest ties to the Mysterious Four Ultras.
After all, three of the Mysterious Four were connected to him.
But she hadn't expected there to be an even more formidable one.
No wonder the other Ultra Warriors teased him as "high-level fusion material."
As for his "slacking off" performance,
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue simply assumed Ultraman Cosmos was gentle with Monsters.
Meanwhile, on the Soul Beast side,
Gu Yuena stared blankly at Ultraman Cosmos calming the Monster.
In the face of a huge, extremely dangerous Monster, he had merely said that it was too excited.
This was the first time she had seen an Ultraman say something like that.
After all, having seen what Ultraman Ace and Ultraman Leo had been through, she could never have imagined an Ultraman letting a Monster go.
Much less saying that it was merely "too excited."
Her eyes remained on the Sky Screen, but she spoke to Di Tian:
"Di Tian, do you think that if this Warrior of Compassion is willing to accept us, our Soul Beasts could continue living in that world called Juran?"
Di Tian glanced at Gu Yuena's expression.
He had never seen such hope in her eyes before.
Di Tian knew that the Soul Beasts' surrender to the Ultramen was now all but inevitable.
So he answered without hesitation:
"If you say we can, then we can, my lord. Even if we can't, we'll still follow your arrangements."
Gu Yuena smiled at his answer.
"Now that I've awakened, Bi Ji and Ice Empress should be waking up soon too. Let's notify them first and have them prepare to submit to the Ultra Warriors."
Using their mental connection, Gu Yuena reached out to the Soul Beasts who had awakened and urged those who were still asleep to wake up sooner.
Di Tian nodded, then looked up at the Sky Screen as well.
At the same time, he muttered under his breath:
"Planet Juran? What kind of world will it be? What price will my lord have to pay to go there? Will the Soul Beasts' lord still be our lord?"
Di Tian wondered aloud, perplexed.
After all, he believed there was no such thing as a free lunch, especially when this was such an immense benefit: Soul Beasts would be freed from Soul Masters' persecution and the control of the gods.
Di Tian didn't believe the Ultramen would grant them such a boon for nothing.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Star Dou Forest,
Bi Ji, Zi JI, and King of Ten Thousand Monsters awoke one after another at Gu Yuena's mental summons.
"Our lord is calling us. But what is this?"
Bi Ji looked at the Sky Screen, which nearly covered the entire sky.
Zi JI immediately went on alert.
"Could this be something the Soul Masters did?! Are they coming to settle the score with us Soul Beasts?"
"No!"
King of Ten Thousand Monsters immediately rejected Zi JI's guess.
"Our lord sent us these images through a mental link. It seems she wants us to live in another world, one without Soul Masters or gods. There are only Monsters that look like Soul Beasts, and... a blue giant?"
Bi Ji also saw the images Gu Yuena had sent, along with one of her demands.
"She also wants us to pledge allegiance to giants like this, to submit to them—even though their authority is greater than our lord's!"
They were having trouble making sense of the situation.
How had something so huge happened while they were asleep?!
And what had happened while they were sleeping, for those giants called Ultramen to appear?
After all, Gu Yuena had sent them only images. They couldn't feel the Ultramen's power through the Sky Screen.
So they were still completely baffled by Gu Yuena's decision.
Zi JI quickly spotted the connection, too.
She looked up at the Sky Screen and said:
"Looks like it has something to do with this thing."
At that moment, the Sky Screen began showing a battle clip featuring Ultraman Cosmos.
[Alien Baltan vs. Ultraman Cosmos]
This battle clip piqued the curiosity of the Douluo Continent's viewers.
After all, they had never seen any of Ultraman Cosmos's skills apart from Full Moon Rect.
If the other side couldn't be persuaded, how would Ultraman Cosmos deal with it?
The Sky Screen soon provided the answer.
[Alien Baltan plunged both hands into the ground, summoning a dense mass of ground spikes that surrounded Ultraman Cosmos]
Only after seeing the Sky Screen for themselves did Bi Ji and the other two Soul Beasts realize how powerful the Ultramen were.
Forget the Ultramen—even the sight of Alien Baltan made Bi Ji break out in goosebumps.
She could clearly sense how unfathomable Alien Baltan's strength was.
Even she couldn't see the limits of its power.
And as for Ultraman Cosmos, there was no need to mention it.
When ambushed by the ground spikes, a normal Ultraman would fly into the air to dodge.
Even Zi JI, with her wealth of combat experience, thought so.
But what actually happened was...
[Ultraman Cosmos spread his arms and began spinning rapidly in place, smashing every single bladed spike into fragments] [As he spun, he also began moving toward Alien Baltan]
The three Ferocious Beasts were completely dumbfounded.
So he just couldn't be bothered to dodge?!
[When Alien Baltan attacked with a beam, Ultraman Cosmos covered his right hand in light and directly sliced the beam apart]
Forget Bi Ji and the other two Soul Beasts—even Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who had watched every Ultraman clip from beginning to end, couldn't keep their composure.
"W-what is this, a joke?!"
Qian Renxue couldn't help commenting.
Bibi Dong looked at Xiao Che and asked:
"Your Excellency, does Ultraman Cosmos defeat Monsters or aliens he can't persuade this way?"
These attacks were all moves that other Ultra Warriors would avoid at all costs.
At the very least, they would block them with a barrier or clash beams with them.
Only Ultraman Cosmos didn't even consider dodging or defending.
Because he couldn't be bothered to dodge.
But even after Ultraman Cosmos had displayed such divine power, Xiao Che still shook his head, rejecting Bibi Dong's assumption.
"Not quite. After all, this is only Cosmos's gentlest form, Luna Mode. He also has Corona Mode, which is specialized for combat, and Eclipse Mode, which combines the strengths of both."
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were stunned by his answer.
Luna Mode was already this powerful, so just how strong—and violent—would Corona Mode and Eclipse Mode be?
[Facing the barrage of blades Alien Baltan continued to launch, Ultraman Cosmos still didn't dodge. With a series of light, nimble movements, he smashed every blade to pieces] [Then Ultraman Cosmos switched to Corona Mode]
The people of the Douluo Continent finally got to see Ultraman Cosmos's second form.
He turned red!
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue immediately wore expressions of sudden realization.
"So he traded speed for greater strength? The Ultra Warriors' forms are pretty much all the same."
But Xiao Che still shook his head.
The scene on the Sky Screen continued.
[In the next instant, Ultraman Cosmos, now in Corona Mode, moved even faster. It was as if he had unlocked teleportation, beating Alien Baltan until it didn't know which way was up]
Only then did Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue finally understand.
When other Ultramen turned red, they grew slower but stronger.
But when Ultraman Cosmos turned red, he grew faster and stronger!
