Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

Chapter 181 The Returning Sublimator

News of Haiyun's defenses being instantly destroyed spread far and wide after Grandi left. The Mage Guild urgently requested reinforcements from other places to fight against the monsters, as any help was now a godsend.

No one outside knew what had happened to Haiyun, but Haiyun's pleading attitude showed that they had been utterly defeated and were even willing to lower themselves to get support.

This was something that would have been unthinkable to hear from the arrogant Haiyun before...

However, if even the strongest force of the Mage Guild is powerless against the otherworldly legion, how can the monster forces in other places not know their own strength?

Giant worker ants emerged from the monster capsule, carrying out the repair orders given by the soldier ants. All the towers on the beach were demolished. The worker ants were quite familiar with these tasks; they had always been engaged in such activities.

However, today's service location is not an anthill, but a human dwelling.

The monster capsules transported by the soldier ants contain a subspace structure replicated by Grandi, used for the transportation and storage of monsters. A sky tunnel has now been formed from the archipelago to the sea cloud, carrying only monsters.

A batch of monsters were released into the territory of Haiyun. Now, the streets are filled with monster ants instead of humans. All the weapons of the Magician Guild have been destroyed by the monsters. The soldier ants that have gathered into an army have made Haiyun their new territory.

The cloud is just the first step in the ant colony's expansion of its territory. Next, the ant colony will continue to carry out Grandi's orders, expand its territory, and overturn this world.

Grandi gave the original Mage Guild a chance to evacuate, with the aim of letting them live and then telling more people about Haiyun's defeat.

As long as there is no resistance, the ant colony will obey Grandi's orders and refrain from violent action; as long as humans acknowledge their inability to resist and obediently follow the ant colony's instructions, everything will return to order.

Of course, it's about returning to the order established by the monsters.

Standing in the mountains and forests, the Mage Guild looked at Haiyun, who was still intact yesterday, and then at the monster horde that surrounded them. Despite their indignation, all that remained was a sigh of sorrow.

"Haiyun has fallen just like that? Just how capable is Grandi?!"

Mu Ban frowned, a rare sight. Two Light Stone Warriors, four layers of defensive towers, an entire military town base—all gone in the time it took to say a few words. Hai Yun was gone just like that.

The long-established prestige of the Magicians' Guild and the peace built by humans and monsters have been turned upside down by a few otherworldly monsters in just a few months. Several guilds in Tsuchiya have been destroyed, and the entire Wolf State has entered a state of emergency. Now, Haiyun has become a complete vassal of the enemy.

The constant stream of reports mostly came from other magician guilds. The reports were basically about how they had discovered ant swarms of monsters in their territories, how soldier ant monsters were constantly circling in the air, and how otherworldly monsters were appearing in the public eye.

The research institute inside the ruins suddenly erupted into chaos, its silence replaced by utter noise. People were filled with anxiety, worried that their hometown might be attacked by monsters, and they were all waiting to see what decisions the hero and the chairman would make...

"I'll go to Haiyun to check on the situation first, President. I'll leave the rest to you."

Yao Hui no longer wanted to listen to reports and other complicated information; he just wanted to see for himself what the truth was. Grandi was no good person, and Haiyun was far from innocent. Now that things had developed to this point, Yao Hui was no longer willing to believe in coincidences; everything had a cause and effect.

"Can we manage on our own, Haruki? The report just came in and said that Haiyun has a huge group of monsters, and judging from the current situation, Sean and Zhaoyu have probably already been defeated."

“I’ve considered your concerns, Zeta, so let’s increase our power now, or rather, reclaim our power.”

They spoke of setting off, but Haruki walked towards the center of the ruins until he reached the Zeta Riser. Haruki and Zeta once again felt the connection between them through the Riser.

“To deal with a whole horde of monsters, Zeta and I need more protection, so I’d like to retrieve the Riser first. We can talk about the Riser after I’ve dealt with Grande, okay, Chairman?”

"..."

"Of course, we should give our full support to Mr. Brave, who is charging into battle for the peace of the masses."

"Then it's settled."

Zeta and Haruki simultaneously channeled their thoughts into the Riser. A Z-shaped crystalline light flashed across Zeta's Riser before it was transferred and appeared out of thin air in Haruki's hand, reconnecting Zeta and Haruki's bond.

Holding the familiar texture, Yaohui, having overcome numerous hardships, understands even more the extraordinary significance of the Ascendant in his hand. Chosen one, destiny, and everything else are not as effective as believing in oneself for growth.

Yaohui didn't actually know much. He knew he might be defeated and frustrated because of this, but even so, he would never stand idly by when someone needed him.

The Riser in their hands is a testament to Haruki and Zeta's trust, containing the power that both of them are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect.

Such a life may make one a fool or a hero, but in any case, it is a life of joy and fulfillment without regrets.

He flipped the switch, and the Gate of Heroes opened. Haruki strode forward, where Zeta had been waiting for some time.

[Natsukawa Haruki, access permitted]

The familiar dialogue, the familiar opening, Zeta of Light once again stands behind Haruki, fighting alongside him.

Shout out loud, "My name is Ultraman Zeta!"

"Z!!!"

The radiance ascended into the sky, transforming into a colossal pillar that illuminated the gloomy heavens and brought a familiar salvation to all living beings within a radius of kilometers. It was this very light that had saved them from the calamities of otherworldly monsters.

Now, the light will go to help the suffering masses in other places.

The majestic Giant of Light appeared atop the mountain, its silver-white body radiating layers of light. The sparkling Z-shaped crystals shone with a long-unseen brilliance, and the familiar and powerful light energy surged anew within Zeta's body.

"Let's go, Haruki!"

The original Zeta appeared, bursting forth into the sky in an instant, leaving a pale blue trail. The sonic waves ripped through the sky, accompanied by a series of thunderous roars. The signal of the giant of light's attack was spreading in a powerful and awe-inspiring way.

"Hey, A-Jiu, can you hear me?"

Haruki attempted to communicate using the Yugi Crystal inside Zeta. Ajiu showed a faint energy response, but the situation remained unclear. Did Grandi deliberately choose to launch the attack when he and Zeta were not present, or was there another reason?

Given Grandi's personality, he shouldn't be someone who enjoys scheming. So what caused him to suddenly attack Haiyun?

A loud bang shattered the atmosphere as a sudden sword aura abruptly stopped its flight. Zeta summoned the Zeta Riser and slashed the sword aura horizontally, glancing to the side to see the direction of the attack.

A humanoid ant-beast the size of a giant beast flapped its wings and blocked Zeta's path. Wielding a giant sword, the War Angel, the queen of her tribe, came seeking Zeta, ready to serve her master once more.
