All incoming enemies annihilated, trouble diverted eastward
This was a one-sided battle, completely devoid of any suspense.
The Baltan Seijin were no match for Aboras last time, and having just caused a massive uproar and depleted their stamina, they were beaten even more miserably today, completely unable to fight back.
Transforming into Nova, Qi Ming fought three opponents at once, but his adversaries were nothing more than a bunch of small fry.
A Mozon Seijin, a Darambia Seijin’s spaceship, and a Natan Seijin.
Among these, not a single one had any real weight to them.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The Darambia Seijin’s spaceship kept firing, unleashing purple energy destruction beams toward Nova.
Qi Ming soared into the air, easily dodging the attacks.
"He can fly!" the Natan Seijin cried out in shock.
The Mozon Seijin retorted, "Of course a Saucer Monster can fly!"
"Crack!" Nova whipped the Darambia Seijin’s spaceship, but the craft was of decent build and did not crash from the blow.
"Not bad. But are your bodies as sturdy as your ship?" With that, Nova chased down the Darambia Seijin’s spaceship.
First, he used the sickle on his left side to gouge open a breach, and then he pumped a massive amount of crimson frenzy gas into the hull.
"No... Don't!" the leader of the Darambia Seijin let out a miserable scream, but soon, just like the other Darambia Seijin, red chains materialized around his neck, and his reason was ground away by pure murderous intent.
The outwardly sturdy spaceship instantly transformed into a terrifying aerial arena of death, with all the Darambia Seijin going completely mad and slaughtering each other.
With no pilot at the controls, the spaceship was on the verge of plunging to the ground.
"Those containers holding the shrunk humans don't seem to be on the ship. Looks like things happened too suddenly and they didn't have time to grab them."
"Never mind then, let it crash."
Qi Ming glanced at it once and dismissed it entirely.
Right now, the only opponents left in front of him were the Natan Seijin and the Mozon Seijin.
Stricken with fear and daring not to move recklessly, the Mozon Seijin asked, "Do we have a grudge? We've never even met before, have we?"
Qi Ming countered, "Did you have a grudge against the two 'prey' you exiled earlier?"
The Mozon Seijin was appalled: "What!"
Was he coming after it precisely because of those two prey items?
The Natan Seijin was practically on the verge of dropping to his knees to beg for mercy: "I was wrong! I shouldn't have gotten involved in their business. Can you please give me a chance and spare me?"
Qi Ming asked, "Those innocent lives that perished due to the invasion of your Natan species—did you give them a chance?"
The Natan Seijin gasped: "What!"
"Enough, spare the chatter and try to keep a shred of dignity for yourself!" The next moment, Nova spun his body through the air, charging forward like a whirling top.
(The fierce gale awakens my dreams, spreading heavenly wings to soar~ The golden flames burn brightly, bursting forth with new energy~)
Without a second word, the Natan Seijin pulled a "Baru maneuver," abandoning the Mozon Seijin and turning tail to run, hoping the latter would buy him some time.
"Slash!" In the next instant, the edge of Nova's cloak—as sharp as a precision cutting tool—spun at high speed like a chainsaw, slicing the Natan Seijin cleanly in half at the waist, leaving him with a gruesome death.
Seeing the fate of the fleeing Natan Seijin, the Mozon Seijin braced itself and stepped forward for a desperate, do-or-die struggle.
It released blue destructive rays from the antennae on its head, but Qi Ming easily dodged them.
Dominating the skies, Nova used his eye lasers to pummel the clumsy Mozon Seijin, treating it like a stationary target with zero pressure.
Driven to desperation, the Mozon Seijin unleashed its ultimate trump card: its body morphed from bipedal to quadrupedal movement, extending its extraordinarily long [million-ton neck] to ram the airborne Nova with a fierce headbutt.
Qi Ming chuckled: "You're delivering your weak spot right to me? You truly are a genius."
Nova's tentacles extended, wrapping tightly around the Mozon Seijin's neck as the tiny venomous barbs upon them hardened and pierced deep into its skin.
After a half-minute stalemate, the Mozon Seijin collapsed from asphyxiation.
On the other side, Aboras had brutally smashed the head of the Baltan Seijin to a pulp, making for an extremely bloody spectacle.
The fierce battlefield suddenly fell silent, leaving behind only a scene of utter devastation.
Using the Ultraman shortcut key on his wrist for tethering, a speck of green light drifted up from the corpses of both the Natan Seijin and the Baltan Seijin, while a speck of blue light floated up from the corpse of the Mozon Seijin.
Based on experience from previous encounters, blue light represented Grade B which could convert into 3 Star Blessings, and green light represented Grade C which could convert into 1 Star Blessing.
And by the way, that green light left behind upon the Natan Seijin's death was truly pathetic...

[Access / Convert]
Qi Ming mindlessly tapped [Convert]; these three deceased aliens possessed zero standout qualities, and there was no need to harvest their DNA.
The main control interface updated.
Star Blessings: 10.
Insight: 3/5.
Qi Ming slowly formed a question mark.
He remembered very clearly that his Star Blessings previously stood at 6.
Shouldn't 6 + 1 + 1 + 3 equal 11?
What was the meaning of this? Why was it only 10?
Who on earth skimmed a commission off the perks the aliens gave me?!
Nearby, Aboras sensed the fierce wave of murderous intent rolling off Nova and shuddered three times over.
His greatest fear right now was that this Saucer Monster would turn hostile and deny any agreements, leaving him completely powerless to resist.
"I killed the Baltan Seijin. You promised me..." he stammered, his voice trembling.
"A promise I made will naturally be kept. I have a few things I'd like to consult you about. Come down here," Qi Ming said, canceling his transformation.
Bracing himself, Aboras shrunk down in size and nervously shuffled over to Qi Ming's side.
"Don't be afraid. I swore an oath pointing toward the Luo River, so I'll let you go."
By this point, Qi Ming had calmed down and sought to reassure Aboras.
In Qi Ming's view, the Luo River held mystical efficacy.
Ever since Sima Yi broke his oath, the Sima family abruptly shifted from a long-lived lineage to one plagued by early deaths.
Sima Shi, who had shouldered immense hopes, soon died from his eyeballs bursting out; Sima Zhao passed away inexplicably; and Sima Yan directly fathered that intellectually challenged crown prince, Sima Zhong...
Before long came the Rebellion of the Eight Princes, the Disastrous Merger of the Five Barbarians, the Rebellion of Shi Le... One could say the entire history of the Jin Dynasty was a history of the Sima family being utterly humiliated and slaughtered.
Of course, he had even more important reasons for sparing Aboras.
Qi Ming stated, "I want to give you a suggestion, and by the way, ask you two questions."
Aboras blinked: "A suggestion?"
Qi Ming expounded smoothly:
"You need powerful soldiers capable of fighting in both day and night. So why don't you go to the Darambia Seijin's planet and capture those Darambia Seijin?"
"You saw the combat strength of that Darambia leader just now, and furthermore, their ray-shrinking guns pose zero threat to someone like you who can grow to giant size."
Upon hearing this, Aboras grew deeply tempted.
Coming to Earth meant facing this terrifying monster, whereas going to the Darambia planet would be a walk in the park.
Aboras replied, "However, I don't know where their planet is located."
"I can tell you that. They hail from Planet P413," Qi Ming offered, sharing information from the original television series.
Aboras's spirits lifted instantly. He bowed repeatedly in gratitude, then asked what questions Qi Ming had, promising to answer everything he knew without reservation.
Qi Ming asked, "Those people you turned into statues—how do you reverse it?"
Aboras answered, "Just shine a strong light on them for a while and they'll return to normal."
Qi Ming nodded: "Second question, is Earth some sort of 5A-grade tourist resort? Why do all sorts of aliens keep running over here every few days?"
