With a complicated expression, Hikari stared at Arbok across from him, but did not immediately grant his request.
Because He knew that this was not something that could be resolved simply by agreeing.
"Why didn't you hide this prophecy from me?"
Hikari never thought Arbok was a stupid being.
The other party is naive, but never stupid.
On the contrary, Hikari sometimes felt that Arber was the kind of person who was wise in a seemingly foolish way, and who could always see through details that he himself could not yet perceive.
"You should know that I have never been the kind of person who believes in fate."
If Arbok had concealed the future from Hikari, it's entirely possible that Hikari would have hoped other planets would find a way to save Arbok.
But since the other party has already stated this result...
Given Hikari's personality, it's more likely he'll stay on Arbok and fight Bogard alongside the Arbok people.
"Well, logically speaking, I should indeed keep the final result from you."
"At the very least, this way you won't have to face Bodhiru directly, and you can live on with our hopes."
He paused again, and for the first time, Aber's voice became so deep.
"After all, becoming a giant controlled by hatred and anger is much better than becoming a giant who dies with Arb."
In the future seen by the planetary will of Arbok, Hikari's eventual departure was less about searching for a way to save Arbok on other planets, and more about being deliberately sent away by Him.
What made you change your mind?
Sensing Aber's unspoken meaning, Hikari pressed for more information.
"Because... I saw another possibility, I saw a more distant future."
To be honest, even Planetary Will Arbo himself was surprised that his prophecy this time seemed to have the power to influence destiny under the blessing of some mysterious force.
“In another future I saw, you gathered several other giants and together they defeated Bogaru.”
Hikari was stunned upon hearing this.
Hikari left the Land of Light alone, and without saying goodbye.
Furthermore, the Land of Light had just experienced the Ultra War and was still in the process of recovering, so it was impossible for Him to go to the Land of Light for help.
Call it aversion to war, call it arrogance and conceit...
Hikari would never have asked the Land of Light for help unless he was forced to.
Moreover, Arbok is facing a higher-dimensional predator this time—Bogaru.
Hikari wasn't so selfish as to drag the other warriors of the Land of Light into a life-or-death crisis because of his own personal matters.
"how is this possible?"
With a hint of disbelief, Hikari murmured in confusion.
"Those giants are not members of the race of light, or rather, they are not members of the Kingdom of Light in this universe."
Seeing Hikari's confusion, Arber regained his previous calm.
“They come from another time and space, from a special place called ‘Time and Space City’.”
"There, you not only found a way to save Arbok, but also a group of like-minded companions."
When he said this, Aber's voice revealed a hint of relief and encouragement.
As Hikari's friend, and one who is willing to open his heart to him, Arbok really likes the Hikari in the other future.
Hikari, no longer lonely or isolated, radiating joy and confidence.
That was the real Hikari, not the "Knight Hunter Sword" clad in vengeful armor.
"Another dimension? Other giants?"
The confusion in his eyes remained, but this time Hikari's expression held a hint of realization.
The future that Planetary Will Arbo foresaw belongs to this universe, so if variables from another universe are introduced, it is indeed possible to break the original destiny.
This is very unpredictable, but it's very scientific.
At least from the perspective of the scientist Hikari, he believed that prophecies could be changed in this way.
"Then how do I find that time-space city?"
Despite still being somewhat skeptical, Hikari still managed to ask the crucial question.
The Time-Space City—just hearing the name tells you it's absolutely impossible for something to exist in the current universe.
Furthermore, given the prophecy that Arbok was about to be destroyed, Hikari didn't want to end up like in the prophecy, where he arrived too late and the prophecy came true.
"Then I don't know, the prophecy didn't tell me any of that."
With a calm shrug, Aber gave a slightly helpless smile.
Arbok never mind showing their ignorance.
If you know, you know; if you don't know, you don't know.
They never pretend to know what they don't because of external influences or opinions.
"..."
Hikari glanced at Arbok again in silence, and suddenly realized that the other party was indeed still that heartless planetary will.
Even though things were extremely urgent, the other party still maintained an indifferent attitude.
If someone who doesn't know the situation saw this, they would probably think that Hikari was the one facing a devastating crisis.
"Then can you tell me something useful?"
With a slight sigh, Hikari wisely abandoned the idea of arguing with the other party.
If Planetary Will Arbok didn't have this kind of personality, the two wouldn't have become friends, and Hikari wouldn't have been able to settle on Arbok for so many years.
"Well, if I had to say, there is one."
"The reason I was able to encounter another future is because of a human named 'Kirino Makio'."
"That was also someone with the ability to foresee the future, but his ability was obviously much stronger than mine."
"He guided my prophecies and led me to see a more distant future."
Upon hearing this, Hikari realized that Arber's prophecy was not made from the perspective of an "observer".
"Humans? Earth?"
Admittedly, this answer was quite unexpected for Hikari.
He never imagined that the key to deciphering the prophecy would ultimately lie on Earth.
"If I remember correctly, Eddie should be on Earth right now!"
Ultraman Ace, one of the few all-around Ultra Warriors.
Light, combat, superpowers, knowledge, belief and willpower...
Among all the Ultra Warriors, Ultraman Ace was exceptionally outstanding, which is why the Land of Light entrusted him with the important task of protecting Earth and quelling the increasingly frequent monster attacks.
"Kirino Makio is human, but he is not human from our universe."
After shaking his head in denial of Hikari's deduction, Planetary Will Arbok went a step further and added.
"However, 'Earth' is indeed a key clue. You can start from here to find the existence of 'Time City'."

Chapter 704 The Time-Traveling Trio
Another universe, on Earth.
"Is there really no Land of Light in this universe?"
After looking around at the various data discs in the music store, a young man sighed helplessly.
"I told you long ago, there are no giants or monsters in this world, those are just characters in tokusatsu movies."
Standing next to the boy, a man who had clearly undergone special mechanical modifications said this with a smile.
"More than these things, I'm curious about what kind of scene the parallel universe or another universe you mentioned is like."
"Another version of myself from a parallel universe died to save the Earth..."
"He is a son from the future, yet he risks time paradox to travel to other parallel universes in search of a way to revive another version of himself."
"This sounds like a fantastic adventure, but unfortunately, I'm not the protagonist."
Once the man said those words, their identities became clear.
The boy who traveled through time is none other than Yuan Yi, who once returned to five thousand years ago with Daigo and Lu Xuan.
As for the man in front of us?
That is Daigo from this parallel world.
"No, your experience is actually quite fascinating too."
Faced with Daigo's humility in this timeline, En Tsubasa showed a completely different attitude.
"I originally thought my father in this timeline would be a nice guy..."
"After all, in most of the parallel universes I've traveled through, you are all like this."
"But I never imagined that you in this timeline would be the legendary 'Wanderer,' the legendary figure who single-handedly reshaped the human landscape!"
His tone betrayed his astonishment; Yuanyi had never imagined that his father would have such an extreme and crazy side.
In this cybernetic parallel universe, advanced technology and the allocation of resources have created huge differences.
The wealthy and powerful at the top control 99 percent of the resources and technology, and then oppress and exploit the people at the bottom.
Although the remaining lower-class humans are numerous, they are utterly powerless to resist the higher-ups who possess automated armies and factories.
Over such a long period of time, the social structure of this space-time has become beyond deformed.
Just then, the "Wanderer" appeared.
This legendary figure single-handedly broke the technological monopoly and made public all the data he had stolen.
He then seized control of the automated factory from the top management and distributed the means of acquiring resources to ordinary people at the bottom.
Thus, ordinary people at the bottom of society finally broke the monopoly of the wealthy and powerful.
"legend?"
Hearing Roundwing's undisguised praise, the Wanderer could only manage a wry smile.
"If I were truly a legend, I wouldn't be living in anonymity in this small city."
"While I broke the top-level monopoly on technology and resources, I also plunged the world into endless wars."
“In the old days, ordinary people might have had a harder time, but they were still able to survive.”
"But living in this chaotic and turbulent era, even survival is a luxury for ordinary people who lack the means to survive."
As he said this, the Wanderer's gaze passed over the wall of the record store, as if he could see those humans struggling in pain.
"If possible, I would actually prefer not to become a so-called 'wanderer'."
Faced with this situation, Yuan Yi didn't know how to comfort the Wanderer and could only silently lower his head.
It seems that Daigo, regardless of the century, always had extremely high standards and a strong sense of responsibility towards himself.
"Speaking of which, where are your two companions? Haven't they returned yet?"
I don't know if she was intentionally changing the subject or simply not used to the oppressive atmosphere.
The Wanderer began to wonder where the two time travelers who had traveled through time with Round Wing had gone.
"Them? They're probably fighting somewhere right now."

At the same time, on the other side of the Earth.
