Chapter 316 Zeta's Bizarre Adventure
"Whoaaaaah—(bang)"
"Oh my god, that hurt so much from the fall."
Zeta crashed into the ground, creating a crater. Blue grass swayed in the wind, revealing the green soil beneath.
To avoid unnecessary collateral damage, Zeta shrunk his size to that of a normal Earth human; otherwise, if he were to crash down in his giant form, the entire forest could be destroyed.
"I feel so uncomfortable, where am I?"
Zeta waved his hand to brush the dirt off his head, and only then did he realize how colorful his surroundings were.
The sky was entirely amber yellow, and the clouds were all square-shaped.
Long-leaved grasses and shrubs covered the fields, and there were few people in sight. The soil underfoot seemed to attract each other, as if a very special magnetic force was hidden in the earth.
"Hey, who are you? Why did you fall from the sky?"
The source of the sound was a little girl who looked pretty and rosy-cheeked. On Earth, she would be considered cute, but here, she seemed different.
"Wow, there are humans here! That's great! Can you tell me where this is? I'm in a hurry to get back."
Seeing a relatively familiar intelligent being in this completely unfamiliar world, and being able to communicate with her, Zeta felt incredibly fortunate, even though he didn't know why he could understand the little girl's words.
But now is not the time to be curious about the details. Muban is frantically trying to detonate a terrible bomb, and in order to protect Haruki and everyone else, Zeta chooses to go alone to stop the explosion.
But the reaction of the mixture of life and death auras was beyond Zeta's imagination, engulfing her and then disappearing without a trace. In a state of confused consciousness, Zeta felt as if her body was being torn apart, experiencing excruciating pain throughout, which was difficult to resist, until she finally emerged from somewhere and ended up here.
"You still haven't answered my question? Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was too impatient. I am Ultraman Zeta, from the Land of Light in Nebula M78. Can you tell me where this is?"
"Huh, M78? The Land of Light... I've never heard of it. And why is your name five characters long?"
"Zeta is my name, and Ultraman is the collective name for our race. You can call me Zeta."
"Oh dear, I'm so confused, it's so annoying. I just wanted to see if anything good would happen, but now my brain is all over the place."
The little girl waved her hands repeatedly, not wanting to hear Zeta say another word. She was in a hurry and had no time for playing word games.
If we don't run now, those big guys might find us.
"I'm not playing with you anymore. You'd better hurry up and run. You came down from the sky and entered the Earth Demon's territory. The Earth Demon will definitely come looking for you. If you don't want to be caught and thrown into the dungeon, you'd better run."
A commotion arose in the distance as the little girl crashed into the trees. After saying her last words, she crawled away on all fours, or rather, ran away.
Zeta looked at the little girl who was behaving strangely and was full of questions. For a moment, she didn't know if she was even human.
The commotion grew closer, but Zeta remained where she was, trying to glean useful information from the few words the little girl had just spoken.
"I've never heard of the Land of Light, nor do I know Ultraman. It seems this is a civilization that hasn't yet reached the interstellar level. And I don't see any roads or buildings around here. Could this be a feudal society?"
"What exactly is the Earth Demon? Is it a wild beast or a monster? Why is that little girl afraid of it...?"
"oops."
A tree branch was thrown and hit Zeta on the head. The little girl hid in the woods and stared angrily at Zeta, who looked dazed and silly.
"Aren't you afraid of dying? Didn't I tell you to run? If a stranger like you gets arrested, no one will help you. Do you want to be locked up in a dungeon and dig in the mines for the rest of your life?"
Looking at the strange man who was completely stunned, the phantom beast felt very angry. He had no idea how precious freedom was.
He had gone to great lengths to escape from the Demon King's clutches, fleeing for days and nights to shake off his pursuers. If he were captured and taken back, he would suffer a fate worse than death and become a disgrace to his clan.
This big oaf is simply recklessly playing with his life, completely unaware of the power of the Earth Demon and the cruelty of the Demon King. It's a waste of my conscience to even remind him.
With a loud boom, several crystal cubes emerged from the ground, surrounding Zeta. Behind them were earth demon followers who had arrived from afar, and clay golems wielding weapons escorting a group of wounded humans.
"Unknown race, unknown life form."
"Reporting to high-ranking officers... Report complete. New order: capture unknown life form. If resistance is detected, execute the perpetrator."
The crystal cube hovered in the air, scanning back and forth at Zeta, who remained stationary, but it couldn't find any results.
"It's over, that guy's dead. The Earth Demon has already reported to the Demon King's army. I have to run, or I'll be in trouble too."
The magical beasts no longer cared about the safety of strangers. The earth demons were the strongest scouts in the Demon King's army. Once they spotted you, unless you escaped to the sky, you would only face certain death.
The human prisoners of war, now in shackles, looked toward Zeta's location, lamenting that yet another life had fallen into the hands of the Demon King's army, about to be imprisoned in the dark, sunless dungeon mines just like themselves.
The crystal cube deformed, activating a magic circle to summon chains to capture Zeta. However, while the cube was still casting the spell, Zeta grabbed it and examined it closely, showing great curiosity.
"This thing looks just like a Tsuchi-no-Miya! Could there be a Tsuchi-no-Miya nearby?"
One hand gripped the cube, while the other groped back and forth on the crystal, occasionally tapping it. The crystal cube tried its best to escape, but it was no match for the strength of the opponent's single hand.
Zeta was still figuring out how to get information from the people here when the humans watching were all dumbfounded.
A strange person never seen before actually grabbed and played with the Earth Cube, which was undoubtedly a great provocation to the Demon King's army.
"Target resists arrest, execution order issued! Attack!"
Without any communication, the Earth Cube launched a one-sided attack on Zeta, its crystal-constructed shell glowing brightly, and a beam of light shot straight out of the rebel's forehead.
Zeta turned his head and dodged, the beam of light hitting the tree behind him and snapping it in half, causing the entire trunk to burst into flames, burning a large area in an instant.
"Oh no, should I have dodged? But that kind of light is so basic. If I got hit by that, Belial Twilight will definitely laugh at me when he finds out."
Seeing the fire behind her, Zeta quickly and carefully placed the block in her hand on the ground, then immediately ran over to try to put out the fire and save Lin.
The goal of rescuing the Earth Cube was achieved, but the process was clearly completely different from what was expected.
He dodged it? He actually dodged it!
That beam of light, powerful enough to kill a large beast in one shot, was effortlessly dodged by a stranger—it was as simple as turning his head; his body didn't even move.
The Earth Cube had never seen anything like this before; unknown information bombarded its database in a short period of time.
The human prisoners of war were overjoyed; finally, someone could teach these lackeys of the demon king a lesson!
"Adjust your attack mode and take it down with the highest level!"
Three earth cubes were pieced together, suspended in mid-air, emitting multiple sparks, and a beam of light suddenly fired at Zeta's back.
Zeta was still pleased with himself for successfully extinguishing the fire, nodding repeatedly at the results before him.
"careful!"
Finally, someone couldn't help but shout out. Although they were prisoners of war, their will had not been broken. The human shouted a reminder to Ultraman. As a qualified Ultraman warrior, how could Zeta ignore such help?
With one hand, Zeta blocked the combined attack beam of the Earth Cube. Sparks flew around him, but Zeta was not hurt in the slightest. Instead, he walked forward despite the power of the beam, as if there was no resistance at all.
"Anyone found disturbing the order shall be punished."
The Clay Cube strictly followed the orders of the Demon King's army. The prisoners of war were merely slaves with no right to speak. The knife-wielding clay golem received the order to slash at the human who made the sound. In its eyes, a life was not even worth a grain of sand.
"stop!"
Zeta flicked his wrist, turning the clay cannon in his hand towards the clay idol, blasting its mud-made body to pieces and releasing a nauseating stench.
"Who is your Earth Master? Didn't he teach you not to use violence against the weak?"
Zeta was furious. These earth cubes were completely different from the earth lords he knew; they lacked any of the earth lords' belief in protecting peace and caring for the people.
Powerful and violent, arrogant and impulsive, they can't even show basic respect for life. They are worse than monsters. Zeta no longer has any curiosity about them, only anger.
"Warning! Warning! Unknown life form has rioted! Warning! Warning! Unknown combat strength! Unknown combat strength! Danger level: Extremely high."
The Earth Cube had no chance to fight back against the enraged Zeta. It wasn't even a toy; there was no way it could retaliate or escape.
The last thing the Demon King's army saw in their scanning vision was the Z-shaped symbol flashing brightly on Zeta's chest.
A hero from another world is about to embark on a glorious legend that will last for a century.
