The consequences of Gatanothor's resurgence are far more terrifying than depicted in the TV series.
This explains why an ancient civilization with interstellar travel technology would remain on Earth to fight Gatangaea instead of migrating to Mars en masse.
Because Gatanjah's resurgence is just the beginning, a sign of the formal awakening of a vast group.
Even those ancient humans who chose to become "fugitives" dared not stay in the solar system or even the Milky Way, but instead fled to the more distant depths of the universe.
"Then what should I do next?"
With Kirino Makio as a ready-made "prophet," Lu Xuan simply didn't bother to think too much and went straight to asking.
"You wouldn't tell me..."
"You came here just to inform me that the 'end of the world' is coming, didn't you?"
After giving Lu Xuan a deep look, Kirino Makio calmly shook his head.
"Observing Gatanothor is beyond my capabilities..."
"What I can see is that you entered this black fog alone and successfully delayed the arrival of the apocalypse."
"As for what exactly happened during that time, I don't know."
At this point, Kirino Makio paused slightly.
"Of course, the 'future' I see is not necessarily the future as it is, but only a possibility of the future."
"Because it's also possible that you entered this black fog alone and failed to prevent the end of the world."
"It's also possible that you didn't even enter this black fog, but left Earth before the apocalypse."
“These are all possibilities I see, and these possibilities will coexist in the future.”
This is a multiple-choice question that Kirino Makio presents to Lu Xuan, and it is also a test and probe of Lu Xuan's abilities.
"Do all you prophets speak in such ambiguous ways?"
After a brief silence, Lu Xuan made no attempt to hide his disgust for Kirino Makio.
Or more precisely, it was aversion to Kirino Makio's probing behavior.
"Whether you can do it or not is one thing, whether you do it or not is another."
"Even if I regret it in the future, I'll only regret it after I've done it."
"So you don't need to test me at all. I only have one choice."
Before meeting Daigo, Lu Xuan would have chosen to leave Earth without hesitation and embark on a new journey to another planet.
However, Lu Xuan now has ties to this earth.
Daigo, Gedi, Saki, Kari, Kuzuha Jiro, Lady Nine-Tailed Fox, Kazuma Asuka, the Inazuma Clan, the GUTS team members, and even Onoda and Setsuna, the reporter duo who love to court death...
Before he knew it, Lu Xuan had gotten to know many people and things on Earth.
For the nostalgic Lu Xuan, giving up what he already possesses would probably be more troublesome than starting a new journey.
"Since you say I can stop this crisis, I'll believe you this once."
"However, just in case, if I really fail to stop the spread of the black mist, please go find Daigo from the GUTS team."
"With your abilities, you should know who Daigo is, right?"
Before Kirino Makio could reply, Lu Xuan turned and walked towards the zombie monster Sylizan.
"If I fail, he will be the last hope for you humans, and even for the Earth."
......................................................................................................
"The last hope...?"
Silently watching Lu Xuan's receding figure, Kirino Makio suddenly laughed.
Because in Kirino Makio's view at this moment, countless possibilities of "future" have collapsed one after another, and in their place there is only one future.
In this one and only future, the spreading black fog quickly dissipated, and angry roars echoed across the entire coastline.
The forces of darkness intend to make a comeback, and the zombie monster Sylizan has reopened its eyes.
However, a giant stood in the way of the roaring sound, looking down on the end of the darkness with an arrogant and disdainful attitude.
Regardless of who lies at the end of this darkness, and no matter how powerful this dark force may be...
The newly born giant stood proudly under the setting sun, shielding the myriad lights behind it from an unbearable sense of terror.
“Gailvin, your prepared ‘hope’ is probably not going to be of any use for the time being.”
With his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, the gloomy aura surrounding Kirino Makio vanished completely at that moment.
In Lu Xuan, Kirino Makio saw not only hope, but also courage and determination.
Kirino Makio doesn't care about hope, but he does lack courage and determination.
Just like Tomoko's judgment of Kirino Makio.
With the abilities he's demonstrated, he could live any kind of life he wanted, if he so desired.
"Thank you for giving me the courage and determination to face life with equanimity."

Chapter 224 I Am Legend
Until Lu Xuan approached the center of the black mist again—the zombie monster Sillizan.
He then realized that the situation here was far more serious than he had imagined.
First, the invisible shield generated by the force field generator was distorted and deformed under the erosion of the black mist, and basically lost its invisibility function.
If Zong Fang hadn't already ordered the TPC members to leave this black fog area, someone would probably have already discovered Lu Xuan, this uninvited guest.
Secondly, the ocean and the land, under the erosion of the black fog, seemed to have become an abnormal realm different from the present world.
With each step Lu Xuan took, it felt as if he were treading on a sticky swamp.
Endless darkness was devouring Lu Xuan's existence, constantly trying to drag him into another dimension.
Most importantly, the mechanical fortresses that were purifying Silizan seemed to transform into something strange and eerie under the shroud of this black mist.
A deafening roar, distorted and bizarre shapes...
Before Lu Xuan could react, one of the mechanical fortresses suddenly rose from the ground and pounced on him like a monster.
Lu Xuan wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he still instinctively swung his arm toward the mechanical fortress.
boom!
A powerful burst of psychic energy burst forth from his body, instantly sending the mechanical fortress flying.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan's thoughts swept over every atomic structure of the mechanical fortress, and he forcibly disassembled it into microscopic structures invisible to the naked eye.
puff!
Accompanied by a barely perceptible sound of disintegration.
Countless gray dust particles suddenly appeared within the original black mist.
These gray dust particles are the most basic metallic particles in the universe. Even if they are corrupted by the power of the dark realm, they can no longer turn back into the monster-like existence they once were.
But that wasn't all. Always one to strike first, Lu Xuan turned his gaze to the other mechanical fortresses that hadn't yet been transformed.
puff!puff!puff!
Wherever the figure passed, the mechanical fortress crumbled.
These are mechanical fortresses that even the victorious team would have to fight hard to destroy.
Compared to Lu Xuan, who had mastered telekinesis, they were as fragile as paper and utterly vulnerable.
In no time, the area shrouded in black mist was reduced to the remains of the zombie monster Sylizan, which remained intact.
buzzing...
Seemingly sensing Lu Xuan's threat, the black mist, which had been expanding wildly, miraculously stopped.
Moreover, centered on the corpse of the zombie monster Silizan, the pitch-black fog suddenly re-converged and condensed into a black substance.
The land covered by this black substance rapidly rose up...
The ocean, covered by this black substance, is changing rapidly...
As a result, the zombie monster Silizan's body structure also underwent some subtle changes, as if it was about to come to life.
[Boss, through system comparison and analysis, we have determined that these black substances are activated viruses existing in 'cellular form'...]
[Its originates from the activated bacterial weapon carried by I-400, a biological virus enhanced by dark forces.]
[It is recommended to take measures such as 'burning' to completely eliminate any future problems!]
Just then, Zhizi's voice rang in Lu Xuan's ears.
The fully operational Zhizi basically unearthed all the data on various biological and chemical virus weapons that Japan had researched back then.
This includes the so-called "super soldier virus" that Japan researched back then.
The original strain of this virus originated from an unknown mosquito in the Amazon rainforest.
Possessing the ability to parasitize and control animal carcasses, it is the source of the local shaman's legend of the "undying."
Through a series of research and upgrades by the Japanese military in Asia, these biological viruses have finally made it possible for the parasites to fight continuously and fearlessly, and even after death, they can still exert their remaining power.
After the sea lizards were killed by the bacterial weapon, they were naturally parasitized by this biological virus.
Unfortunately, the unique marine environment rendered this virus's abilities useless, forcing it to remain forever dormant in the ocean.
If it weren't for being strengthened by Gatanothor's dark power and washed ashore by the sea...
Perhaps these terrifying viruses that parasitize the sea lizards will simply disappear completely, unknown to anyone.
"Not for now, it's not time yet."
After looking around, Lu Xuan decisively rejected Zhi Zi's suggestion.
Let's set aside whether Kirino Makio's prediction was accurate.
The anomalies of this dark realm alone made it impossible for Lu Xuan to ignore them.
It's always said that you can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Now that Gatanothor has awakened ahead of schedule and intends to use the zombie monster Sylizan to spread fear in human society.
Therefore, Lu Xuan's most correct course of action is to do the opposite and use the rare channel of the zombie monster Silizan to investigate Gatanothor's background.
"An exposed threat is always more reassuring than a hidden one..."
"Zhizi, help me contact the will of the Lightning People."
"If I don't get back in time, make sure the Lightning Man destroys this black mist at all costs."
This time, Zhizi did not respond to Lu Xuan as quickly as usual.
On the contrary, after experiencing a difficult calculation and system crash in a fraction of a second, Zhizi analyzed it in an almost human tone.
[Boss, we don't need to go to such lengths for humanity.]
[The 'Gatarina' that Kirino Makio mentioned is far too dangerous, and your decision to venture into its lair alone is far too risky.]
[If you are worried about Daigo and the others, Tomoko suggests that you utilize the resources of the Galvin Group to build a mothership capable of navigating outer space, which could also preserve humanity's future.]
Shaking his head to stop Zhizi from continuing her analysis, Lu Xuan spoke calmly as always.
"I am not doing this for the sake of humanity at all."
"As long as I do not leave Earth, Gatanothor's existence is an inevitable threat."
"I can choose to run away this time, but sooner or later I will face Him again."
“By then, there won’t be such a good opportunity to test His bottom line.”
Lu Xuan was telling the truth. He had been asleep for 30 million years, and his power had been continuously stolen by the Kiriel. In the end, he was even hit by a full-power Zepelion Ray.
Gatanothor was in an unprecedented state of weakness.
If Lu Xuan gives up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he may only be able to wait until he has reached the maximum level before coming back to settle scores with Gatanothor.
【But……】
