Chapter 817
Why did Noah choose me?
To be honest, Cui Ming never understood why Noah had chosen him.
He looked down at his hands, which were covered in scars, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: I have quite a few problems.
He was known for his irritability and short temper. Whenever he encountered vicious enemies, he couldn't help but want to smash them to pieces—although a large part of the reason was that the enemy's corpses would block bullets at that time, but his temper was indeed not good.
Anyway, Cui Ming felt that he was definitely no match for those Ultramen from the Land of Light who were full of divinity.
They possess a radiant belief and a pure heart of protection, and their every move exudes a reassuring power.
And what about myself? At most, I'm just a human being with slightly stronger combat power. I get tired, I get angry, and I toss and turn at night thinking about my fallen comrades.
So, why did Noah choose himself?
He had considered this question. Mazinger Zero and Getter Robo chose him because they saw the potential for evolution, through their growth and breakthroughs in battle; Daissatsu connected with him because he had personally created this powerful weapon; Legend responded to him because he possessed the power of Gauss within him, allowing for an energy resonance…
These causal relationships are all clearly visible.
Noah is like a mystery; he's incredibly omnipotent. Aside from constantly fighting alien beasts, there seems to be nothing he can't handle. The thing is, Noah can wipe out the alien beasts on his own, without needing any extra help.
Could it be that Noah needs someone with his super adrenaline-fueled abilities?
The ferocity that erupts when fighting to the extreme can indeed boost combat power for a short time, but it should be meaningless to the Great God Noah.
That doesn't make sense either... Cui Ming frowned, gazing at the starry sky outside the window. Noah's figure was blurry and distant in his memory. This question was like an unsolvable knot, lingering in his heart for a very long time.
Actually, Noah just needed someone to help him kill the alien beasts.
It's extremely simple.
Otherwise, if we let Noah handle everything, and even give some juniors cheat codes or something, it would be a waste of time.
I'm so tired.
Earth has become incredibly famous in the cosmic community lately, practically a "star planet" that's being discussed by galaxies all over the world.
The main problem is that Earth now seems to have become the exclusive training ground for the Ultra race. Any Ultra Warrior who has come to Earth to carry out a mission experiences an astonishingly rapid increase in strength after returning.
From a young, newly trained Ultra Warrior to a seasoned veteran, after experiencing a few tough battles on Earth, their abilities will undergo a qualitative leap in terms of the power of their beam attacks, the proficiency of their fighting skills, and the precision of their energy control.
There's even a saying circulating in the universe: "Want to get stronger? Go to Earth and grind some dungeons." The young Ultra Warriors of the Land of Light consider going to Earth to carry out missions the highest honor.
Of course, what left the aliens speechless the most was that there were monsters on Earth that could go toe-to-toe with Ultraman! And there was more than one!
Every time a space merchant or expedition passes by Earth, the images they transmit cause a huge stir on interstellar forums.
Watching the enormous monsters and Ultra Warriors locked in a fierce battle, with Ultraman even occasionally finding himself in dire straits, the aliens couldn't help but roar inwardly, "Big brother! Take a closer look at the Ultra race of the Land of Light! Each one of them could single-handedly sweep through a space fleet!" It's important to understand that most interstellar civilizations rely on spaceships for interstellar travel, and when faced with danger, they can only hide behind thick armor and fire laser cannons.
But what about the Ultra Warriors? They can fly freely in space, their fists are hard enough to smash asteroids, and their beam attacks can blast apart warships. The difference in strength is so great that it's despair-inducing.
But Earth is different. Any random monster that appears can fight such an existence to a standstill, which completely overturns the aliens' understanding of "native life forms of the planet".
Many cosmic forces now dare not approach Earth easily, for fear of accidentally bumping into monsters that even Ultraman finds troublesome, or being used as "experience packs" to become background for Ultraman warriors to level up.
The world is a grand stage; if you're destined for it, come and join us!
Actually, Ultraman are pretty shameless.
Seven took this "home advantage" to the extreme – he's a solar-powered being!
Every time he fights on Earth, unless he is completely suppressed by the enemy or encounters continuous rainy weather, Seven always finds an opportunity to bask in the sunlight.
The golden light fell on him, like charging a battery, and his energy bar surged. The stamina and skill power that had been depleted by more than half were quickly restored.
Although you'll need to return to the Land of Light eventually, sometimes you really can't trust Seven's words.
Recently, during lulls in combat, Cui Ming has been pondering one thing: it's time to upgrade Earth's space defense turrets.
He flipped through the defense records of the past six months, his fingertips tracing the data of the wreckage of small monsters shot down by the turrets and the fragments of meteorites on the screen, his brow furrowing slightly.
Although these turrets currently deployed in geosynchronous orbit, lunar bases, and near-Earth space stations can only deal with weak monsters or intercept meteorites heading towards Earth, and are almost useless against truly powerful space battleships and advanced aliens, Cui Ming knew that upgrades were still necessary.
"We can't keep relying on Ultraman and Taganura to cover for us." He muttered to himself as he looked at the battle sand table, pointing his finger at the red markers representing the turrets. "Even if they're just blocking minor troubles, we need to make them have some 'presence'."
After all, Earth's reputation in the universe is growing, attracting not only Ultra Warriors to "level up," but also many other cosmic forces that are envious, curious, or even looking to make a quick buck. If the defensive turrets remain at the same level, any kind of scoundrel will dare to invade Earth, and even if the problem is eventually solved, civilians will face unnecessary risks.
Of course, Cui Ming didn't forget the help of his allies—although the turret's capabilities were limited, Taganura always came to the rescue at crucial moments. That guy's ultra-long-range energy attack could cover most of the solar system. Several times before, unidentified spacecraft tried to sneak close to Earth, but before the turret could lock onto the target, they were directly blasted into pieces by Taganura's attacks from outer space.
Even with Taganura's assistance, Cui Ming did not want to place the "burden" of defense on others.
He has already instructed the technical department to submit an upgrade plan for the turrets, aiming to enhance energy output, optimize the locking system, and even consider adding special munitions targeting different extraterrestrial life forms. The goal is to ensure these "defensive sentinels" can withstand more pressure in future defensive battles, providing additional layers of protection for Earth's safety. (End of Chapter)
