Monster, did you choose this most useless guy as your vessel...

In the sunset, Ronald and the monster locked eyes. He suddenly realized that the teacher had only used the power of the zero-number Giant Beast four times in total.

The first time was on that rainy night, on the overpass. He saw the silhouette of that man leaving, handing the control of the vehicle over to him.

The second time was when that bizarre bird descended from the sky to attack the Twin Towers. The man protected them as they left and also shielded the falling Twin Towers, slicing the bird in half.

The third time was during the endless tide of Giant Beasts, when the light went out, but the teacher was still fighting.

The fourth time was just yesterday, when the teacher's heart had already stopped, yet still, under that gray sky, he wielded the last Mobius Ring.

In total, four times...

Teacher, is this the pain you had to endure each time you transformed... is this your resolve...

Without knowing why, seeing this Super Beast he both hated and was familiar with, he felt like crying. The sensation of pain and warmth interweaving seemed to completely invade his heart. Looking at the Giant Beast, tears involuntarily flowed, and it felt as if the pain at that moment transformed into strength.

"Why choose me?" he looked up, stubborn like a little child, staring intently at the monster, as if trying to completely absorb it into his pupils.

"Because I feel like it," the Giant Beast replied nonchalantly, as if teasing a child.

Ronald remained silent, thinking of the things he still had to accomplish, of the endless Giant Beasts and Super Beasts in the world, and finally, the words his teacher taught him.

Never compromise!

"I accept this contract!"

"Then the contract is established." The zero-number Super Beast even chuckled a little, as if the monster gleefully fulfilled its plan.

"What's your name?" Ronald asked the monster, possibly the last monster he could commemorate that he might live with for a lifetime.

"Wraith Barak, that's my name," the zero-number Giant Beast uttered an unfamiliar name, "But that's my alias, when you decide to use this power for the last time, I'll tell you my real name."

"Alright then, Barak, I will seal you forever, and will not use your power a fourth time to set you free!" The boy said stubbornly.

However, the corners of the zero-number Super Beast's mouth curled up human-like, and it couldn't help but chuckle, as if seeing the future.

...

"Are you awake? Had a nightmare?" When he awoke, he found a familiar girl sitting beside him.

His fiancée in name, after the teacher left, she became his only family.

"Mm..." Ronald didn't reveal anything from the dream; he just looked confusedly at this frail girl and asked, "I thought you had already left the Imperial Capital; I thought it would be a long time before we met again..."

"Couldn't stop worrying about you." She poured a glass of water and handed it to Ronald, this straightforward confession made him momentarily at a loss.

"Being a student of the Monarch, it's joyful but also exhausting, right?" The girl merely sat quietly without exerting much pressure on him, like an old friend sharing thoughts, "Carrying out the teacher's last wishes, bearing everyone's hopes, and leading the future of the Magic Ring System, it's tiring, isn't it?"

Ronald didn't speak; he just took the glass of water and through its reflection, he saw the bloodshot edges of his eyes.

"I'm fine, actually. I'm the weakest. Even in the Magic Ring System, the senior brother can already transform into a Giant Beast, and the senior sister can skillfully use Monster Power. Only my Super-speed Regeneration still can't do anything..."

Couldn't even save the teacher...

"No, you've done very well." The girl's soft hand held his, and Ronald was stunned, then silently grasped his own hand.

"Thank you..." Ronald said, the confusion and pain on his face dissipating. Yes, he now had something he must protect, a mission he must fulfill, whether for the teacher or for others.

"Bang! Bang!" The door was knocked on, causing the timid boy to instantly withdraw his hand, his face once again turning into that sorrowful expression, as if his pupils were filled with lions.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle, something important has happened." Outside was the voice of Senior Sister Wu Li.

"Understood!" Ronald instantly stood up, pushed open the door, expecting to meet his senior brother and sister's teasing and playful gazes, but all their faces were very somber.

Especially Senior Sister, as if she was about to cry.

"What... happened..." The timid boy paused in his prepared speech when he saw the scales from the teacher's last self-detonation.

Ronald only felt a tug at his heart. At that moment, endless pain and confusion assaulted him again, and the scales still carried blood and flesh. He recalled yesterday's battle and the zero-number Giant Beast within him...

"The teacher's scales conveyed his last wish." Wu Li pointed to the text now revealed on the scales, and the timid boy saw the writing on it.

Others might not clearly understand, but Cloud Star immediately realized the gravity of the situation: "The teacher once told me about a very hidden darkness."

His voice instantly drew everyone's attention. At this moment, oddly, he wore a small pair of sunglasses on his nose, seemingly trying to emulate his teacher's style and dress. Even his speaking tone was an imitation of his former teacher.

"Giant Beasts, Super Beasts, might not be native creations but are purposely modified weapons by invaders aimed at our civilization's extinction!" Cloud Star finally revealed the biggest secret buried in his heart.

At this moment, he gradually relaxed. After all, no matter how difficult the future may be, he still had the power given by his teacher and could share the burden with these two unreliable fellow disciples.

The scene fell into silence instantly. If Cloud Star had faced the darkness directly yet persisted until now, then upon hearing such information for the first time, they only felt unparalleled suffocation.

"I've already told the Speaker of Parliament about this news. He is trustworthy; at least when rescuing the teacher, he truly exhausted all his resources and political capital." Cloud Star continued, thus not allowing the young lady from the parliamentary family to avoid hearing this.

After all, her family was also a parliamentary family.

"And now, it's very likely that it's the hidden invaders who are taking action. The last intelligence our teacher gave us might be the coordinates of the hidden aggressors!" Cloud Star directly pointed to a string of text, which then became four coordinates in sequential order.

"That's why I need to contact the Speaker immediately. The nearest coordinate is less than two hours away from us." He stood up, stowed away that scale from Beast Zero, then said, "We must fulfill our teacher's last wish, even if it means risking our lives."

...

The first dispatched squad of four from the Hell Vanguard Army successfully passed through the Teleportation Gate and landed in a wilderness.

Here, a herbivorous Giant Beast resembling an oversized prairie dog was leisurely munching on leaves when suddenly, a terrifying electromagnetic cannon penetrated its skull, causing it to fall to the ground immediately, twitching all over.

The Hell Vanguard Army tossed their black cloaks and said, "Report to headquarters, we have landed on the surface of Giant Beast Planet. No civilization found yet, only a few Giant Beasts observed, and indeed controllable nuclear fusion fuel discovered inside their bodies."

"Headquarters received, please investigate the status of that civilization and report back within 5 hours."

Everyone in the four-man Hell Vanguard Army squad was of Mythic Level. Though they were fast-track products born from technology and tough tactics, possibly inferior in raw power to many veteran Tier Three individuals, their formidable equipment and magical technology concealed their weaknesses.

It can be said that even if encountering regular Super Beasts, they would remain fearless as long as they don't directly confront the Super Beast King or numbered Super Beasts—they can roam this world without restraint.

"Something's wrong!" someone immediately called out, "There's a bomb!"

"Boom!" A terrifying explosion covered them in an instant, dust and mushroom clouds rose, large swathes of ground began to be upheaved, as if that monstrous creature was unleashing its boundless fury.

One artillery after another began covering the area. Then, a forty-meter Giant Beast clasped its hands, and the water in its mouth quickly transformed into an extremely high-pressure Water Blade.

The attacks were relentless; Cloud Star immediately used the Giant Beast's power to its fullest extent, with vapor condensing into a giant fist descending from the sky, striking fiercely onto the artillery-covered area, pounding tirelessly until it felt exhausted and stopped attacking.

The water carried mud, smoke, and unknown blood.

"Did it work?" Ronald asked.

But the moment he spoke, a shell, fast as light, shot out from the dust. Cloud Star only had time to shield his fellow disciples before the shell hit him, pain drowning his rationality in an instant.

"Ahhhhh!"

As the dust settled, their ambush had indeed borne fruit. Two bodies lay on the ground, already split into four parts, as though mistakenly cut by Cloud Star's Water Blade. The remaining two were also covered in wounds, but their eyes were filled with endless fanaticism.

"Headquarters, headquarters, the civilization here is not extinct; they even ambushed us, hee hee hee, our deaths can provide the Super Iron Curtain with more excuses for war! Even death is worth the ticket price!"

"For the Super Iron Curtain!" one person took out a communicator, raised it high, a crimson light extended from his hand into outer space, and he executed a bizarre ritual on this critical battlefield, seemingly more fanatical than the most devout sectarian.

Simultaneously, another's hand grenade exploded, even as his hand was blown to bits, he seemed unaware. In the next moment, intangible waves spread like sonar, everyone felt nauseated, but what's even more terrifying was that all electronic equipment failed at this moment!

And across them, the two wounded monsters continued to shout fervently in salute, then drew their weapons.

"Boom!" Flames erupted in the distant supporting army camp, Ronald's pupils shrank.

The blood of the Giant Beast dripped on his face, as he saw Cloud Star's painful expression after his body was pierced.

He immediately left the protection of the Giant Beast and rushed forward.

"What do you think you're doing, bolt!" his senior sister's voice called from behind.

"Fulfilling my fate!"

He faced the enemy, even severely injured and with an arm lost, who was still the image of the most fanatical zealot.

Time seemed to halt; he seemed to recall his teacher's final words: Never compromise!

He drew the Mobius Ring, sacrificing a quarter of his life, the young man's fervent cry echoed.

"Code NO.0, Super Beast Barak!"
