Across Ultra: Half Dream

Chapter 113 Separation

After dozens of times of traveling back and forth, Chloe looked at the unfamiliar time and space and the instruments that were flashing all the time. Chloe smiled confidently, knowing that she must have found the right place.

Chloe's lips curled slightly. "Found it, found it! It's right here! Daddy, Brother Ling, Uncle Mengbi, we're here!"

"Yeah!" Ace/Cero/Mebius.

Ace said solemnly, "Our mission now is to first locate their kingdom, and then investigate the cause as quickly as possible. This way, we can prepare for their attack in advance."

Mebius looked at Sanao "Okay, then... should we split up and search now?"

Zero was a little impatient. "Ah? Separate? What if we encounter danger?"

Chloe nodded. "Yeah, yeah, Brother Ling is right. If they get into danger, it will be difficult for us to rescue them. But if we don't separate, the search speed will be greatly reduced. What should we do?"

Ace thought for a moment and said, "Well... then, we can go investigate in pairs. I'll be in one with Chloe, and Cero, you'll be in one with Mebius. This way we can both stay safe and speed up the search."

After listening to Ace's suggestion, everyone nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Chloe took out two communicators and handed them to Zero and Mebius. "Brother Rei, Uncle Mebius, here, take these two communicators. If any danger occurs, notify us immediately! Oh yes, Brother Rei, don't act impulsively!"

Zero wiped his nose and said proudly, "Humph, Xiao Yi, you underestimate me too much! If they want to hurt us, they are still 20,000 years ahead!"

Mebius patted Cero's shoulder helplessly and said, "Cero, Xiaoyi is also worried about us. We should listen to them at this time and not let them worry."

Cero looked into Chloe's eyes steadily. After seeing that Chloe's eyes were full of worry, he wanted to blurt out some harsh words, but finally took them back.

He turned his head and said sullenly, "Okay, okay, I got it. We will proceed with caution."

Chloe hugged Sero and said, "Brother Ling, don't make me worry. You and uncle must protect yourselves well."

After Chloe finished speaking, she let go of his hand and took a step back. She looked at Cero carefully and took Ace's hand. "Okay! Then, Daddy, let's go."

Ace nodded to Cero and Mebius, "Well, Cero, Mebius, we're leaving. You must be careful!"

Afterwards, the two groups of Ultraman set off in different directions.

Not long after, Zero and Mebius were flying rapidly in the vast universe, trying to find the location of the Kingdom of Absolut.

Suddenly, Mebius keenly sensed an extremely abnormal energy fluctuation emanating from a planet not far below. "Cero, look, what is that?"

Zero was surprised to see "Huh? Let's go investigate"

After finishing speaking, Zero and Mebius exchanged a glance, and the two quickly adjusted their direction, landing on the planet that was emitting abnormal fluctuations. When they actually set foot on this land, the scene before them made their eyes flash wildly.

All around him were desolate and dilapidated buildings, as if they had experienced a devastating disaster. The buildings were in ruins, teetering on the verge of collapse, seemingly on the verge of total collapse at any moment. It was a shocking sight.

What is even more strange is that there are a large number of strangely shaped black crystals scattered on the ground, and these crystals emit a grayish golden particle light.

But Cero and Mebius felt that there was some kind of mysterious power slowly flowing in these strange black crystals, and this power made people feel a little familiar.

Just as Zero and Mebius were about to conduct further research on these black crystals, a sudden loud noise resounded through the sky, causing the two Aos to take a few steps back after hearing the sound.

The next second, countless black shadows rushed in from all directions like a tide. Zero and Mebius looked closely and found that they were a group of strange-looking mechanical creatures!

Some of these mechanical creatures are as huge as mountains, while others are as small as insects; some are equipped with extremely sharp blades, while others can spew out blazing flames.

They moved as fast as the wind and their attacks were extremely fierce. For a moment, they surrounded Zero and Mebius.

Mebius looked at these mechanical creatures and slowly extended his lightsaber. "There's no other way, Zero, let's go together!"

And Zero touched his nose, took off the headband and rubbed his hands together, "Ah, Mebius, let's go!"

After saying that, Cero and Mebius rushed towards the mechanical monsters and fought with them.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ace and Chloe also encountered obstacles. A fog enveloped them, and it seemed that there was a hidden enemy watching them.

Chloe tensed up and clung to Ace, "Daddy, something's wrong. We need to be careful."

Ace patted Chloe's back gently and whispered soothingly, "Don't be afraid!"

After finishing speaking, Ace released the timer light to illuminate the surroundings, ready to deal with the attack that might come at any time.

At this tense moment, suddenly, Ace's communicator flashed a faint signal. Ace looked closely and saw that it was a call for help from Cero and Mebius.

Ace was very anxious after seeing this. "Cero, can you hear us? Cero, what happened over there? Cero?"

"We...hiss...over here...monster...hiss..." Only the intermittent sound from the communicator could be heard.

"Monsters? Oh no! They are in danger!" Ace said loudly in worry.

Chloe anxiously grabbed Ace and said, "Daddy, let's go help!" Without waiting for Ace to reply, Chloe followed the flickering punctuation on the communicator...

Meanwhile, Zero and Mebius were battling mechanical monsters. In no time, the two of them had wiped out all but a few of them. Zero turned his neck and said, "Huh, that's all. These monsters are..."

However, before Zero could finish his words, he saw the broken limbs of the mechanical monsters begin to rise from the ground and slowly reassemble themselves.

"This..." Zero looked at the scene in front of him vigilantly. Not long after, all the broken limbs formed new monsters, and then rushed towards Zero and Mebius in waves.

"Be careful, Zero, they are coming!" After saying that, Mebius started fighting with them again. The bodies of those mechanical monsters fell down again and again under the powerful attacks of Zero and Mebius, but they were resurrected the next moment.

Zero waved his headband with both hands, splitting a mechanical monster in half while anxiously shouting, "This is so annoying! What the hell is going on? Damn these guys!"

Mebius responded with a gasp, "There must be something wrong with these guys, Cero, be careful!" Then he quickly ran behind Cero and cut a monster's body with a lightsaber.

However, despite their efforts, these mechanical monsters kept resurrecting, and their strength was rapidly draining away. Cero and Mebius's movements gradually became sluggish, and then, their timers began to flash.

"No, we're really doomed if we keep going like this!" Zero looked at Mebius seriously and said, "We have no choice but to split up and run away. First, get rid of them and then think of a solution!"

Mebius sighed and nodded, "This is the only way."

The two stood back to back, and Mebius anxiously warned, "Cero, you must be careful! Otherwise, Brother Seven and Xiao Yi will collapse!"

"Okay! I understand!" Zero panted and said, "We'll contact each other again after we get out of here. But we still need to keep in touch with Xiao Yi and the others on the way."

"Okay! Let's go!" Mebius shouted, and then the two of them ran in two directions while slashing the monsters with light, while the mechanical monsters behind them separated and chased them.

"Brother Ace, can you hear me?! Brother Ace! Xiao Yi!" Mebius swung his lightsaber to chop the monster while shouting loudly into the communicator, but all he could hear was the crackling sound of electricity from the communicator and no response from the other side.

Chloe was in the same boat. She couldn't contact Zero and Ooal, so she could only anxiously continue flying towards their mark. "Brother Ling, you must wait for us! Don't let anything happen!"

Suddenly, a blinding flash descended from the sky. In an instant, Mebius felt dizzy. When the light faded away, he found himself in a world that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Mebius stood there blankly, looking at everything around him, muttering to himself: "How is this possible? How did I suddenly appear here? Where is this...?"

Mebius watched the scene unfold before him, silently transforming back into Hibino Mirai. Then, a girl in a white dress and red shoes appeared before Mirai, her back to him, seemingly saying something...

On Zero's side, who was still fighting, suddenly saw a mysterious crack appear in the sky, emitting an ominous red light.

Seeing that the crack seemed to be spreading towards him, Zero immediately stood up and flew away from the area. After he was far away, he muttered angrily, "Damn, what is this thing!"

I don’t know if it was because of the light, but the crack became bigger and bigger. Suddenly, an invisible force sucked Zero into the crack. Zero struggled and rolled in the turbulence of time and space, unable to break free, and there was endless darkness and chaos all around him.

Zero struggled harder and harder to break free, but that force was like an invisible hand, pulling him tightly, and he could not control his body at all.

Zero yelled in frustration, "Damn it, what the hell is this thing! Wait until I escape, you're done!"

When he finally broke free from the powerful force, the scene before him stunned him. He looked at the slightly quaint scene in front of him and asked, "What...what is this place?"
