"Last chance, Ultraman of Earth. Now go away, this matter still has nothing to do with you."
Dark Zaki looked at the sky full of gods and whispered to Richard: "I think you should consider their proposal."
Richard was unmoved: "You know my answer."
"I think so." The judge said calmly, "I just want to confirm again. If that's the case, then we have nothing to say."
As he spoke, the interstellar giant slowly raised his huge palm.
The other gods of the universe followed suit, raising their huge palms as if they were carved from the same mold, pointing down at Ultraman, who looked extremely small compared to them.
Nexus stood straight on the spot, looking up at the dozens of gods, watching the brilliance of cosmic energy light up one by one in their palms, as if the eternal brilliance illuminated the entire starry sky.
A powerful energy that seemed to not exist in the world swept across the entire place. The air heated up rapidly, as if it was torn into pieces, and the space became anxious and unstable. It seemed that everything in the world was destroyed in the face of such energy.
Pushed to the edge of annihilation.
Deep down, Richard knew there was no way he could take the blow.
There are fifty cosmic gods, and among them there seem to be several top experts at the level of the Eradicator. Even if there are ten of them here, they can't handle them.
But he did not retreat, did not hide, and did not compromise until the last moment.
Stupid?
If I were to let my past self judge, that would be it.
But sometimes we just become what we don't want to be.
This is something Richard never thought he would see in himself, and something he never thought he would do——
——Become the only barrier between the world-destroying disaster and the earth, become that legend, become a hero.
But there is nothing to regret. This world has given him too much, and even if it really ends here, there is nothing to regret.
Nexus faced the light in the sky, took a step forward, and raised his right hand high.
He has not forgotten that this is still his home court.
He is the patron saint of the earth and the hope of all mankind. Here he is at his best, with almost unlimited power.
And now for the first time, he wants to use his resources to the extreme.
The power of the earth was mobilized, and the huge planetary energy was mobilized from the core, gathering from the sky, the ground, and the air, pouring into Nexus' body like countless rivers.
In fact, most planets themselves possess energy comparable to that of the gods of the universe. For example, Ego, the conscious living planet is the best proof, and is a proper living planet of the God-level of the universe.
It's just that most planets have no self-awareness, and the huge energy is evenly distributed in all parts of the planet, and cannot be used consciously for defense or offense.
So comparing Earth and Ego is like the difference between a vegetative person on the hospital bed and a martial arts master.
But as the guardian of the planet, Richard has the power to mobilize the earth's resources, which means that as long as others are on the earth, they can use the planet's energy as freely as Ego.
That's not all.
In addition to the planet, there is also the power of all life that inhabits this planet and lives here.
Animals in the mountains and forests, birds in the sky, dense trees, tiny grasses, delicate flowers... all creatures share their own share of power and contribute life energy to this battle.
.
Finally, there are all the people who chose Ultraman to protect this planet and believed from beginning to end that he could break the darkness once again.
The familiar sense of déjà vu, the scene that Richard had adapted and put on the screen again and again, became a reality at this moment.
People all over the world, regardless of race, gender, age, or belief, everyone who is willing to believe and contribute, is transformed into light at this moment.
They merged into the consciousness of the earth and became part of the total energy of the planet. The physical bodies of those people briefly entered the photon state and turned into arrows of light, flying into the atmosphere from all over the world, piercing the sky all the way.
Arrive at the battlefield.
All of this eventually turned into pure light and merged into Ultraman Blue's body.
The judge's eyes flickered.
What's happening here?
As the judge of the cosmic god group, his lifespan is almost the same as this universe. He has been to countless galaxies and judged countless civilizations, but he has never seen this scene anywhere.
He couldn't help but think of what Ultraman had just said to him, and he couldn't help but think about it again.
Is the human race... really, as he said, not a species that can be easily determined?
Maybe they do have some unknown potential?
Of course, this is just a momentary thought.
The verdict has been handed down, but he will not change it so easily.
Fifty gods took action together.
That may be a spectacular sight that all intelligent creatures in this universe will never see in their lifetime.
The God of the Universe is an existence beyond the ordinary. A God's action can bring strange phenomena to any star field.
Fifty gods took action at the same time?
There is no way to describe such a scene, because no words exist for such a scene.
The only thing that can be said to be lucky is that the gods' targets are only the creatures on the surface of the planet, not the planet itself. As the gods of the universe, they control energy to the extreme and can accurately lock the range within the scope of the target they want to attack.
Otherwise, it would not be surprising that the entire solar system, let alone the earth, would become history directly after such a blow.
Nexus has become the first barrier between the gods of the universe and all mankind.
Accepting the support from all over the earth, Nexus extended his palms, and the surging light in his body burst out from his palms. The energy transformed into the largest shield he had ever released in his life. The aqua blue barrier was three feet wide in width.
Miles, with a height of 1.5 miles, it was propped up and blocked all the impacts of the gods.
Although he had tried his best to overestimate the strength of the gods, Richard soon discovered that he still thought too simply.
The moment the cosmic energy hit the shield, he felt like he almost fainted.
The power was too exaggerated. God knows it was equivalent to the energy of the explosion of many stars. Within a few tenths of a second, Richard felt that the barrier in his hand began to be unable to support it. It was like a piece of glass that was gradually breaking, and the cracks spread rapidly.
, beams of light shot out from the cracks like thorns, and the slightest leak caused a huge movement of landslides and ground cracks.
Everyone else present also tried their best to help. Captain Marvel helped absorb the leaked traces of cosmic energy, and converted it into his own power and reflected it back to fill the shield in Nexus' hand.
Thor blasted thunder at the gods' beams with all his strength, and Odin also threw his divine spear. Ganata poured all her remaining power into Nexus to try to help him relieve the pressure.
, Wanda used her willpower to squeeze out more chaotic magic power from her body and threw another forbidden spell...
But that was of no use. Facing the combined force of the gods to destroy the world, these were just a drop in the bucket.
But their efforts and their thoughts have been conveyed.
Richard couldn't feel his hands anymore. His vision went black, his ears were filled with the roar of energy, and he couldn't even hear the clear flash of the energy core on his chest.
But he could hear the shouting.
The energy from this planet, the expectations and prayers from everyone, finally turned into a unified cry——
——Ultraman.
Then a miracle happened.
In a daze, Richard seemed to see a figure silently appear beside him, standing side by side with him. A pair of hands pressed on the broken barrier to help him share the pressure.
