At this moment, in the vast and desolate depths of the Universe, a red and white spaceship was flying at extreme speed.
Suddenly, a mechanical alarm sounded within the cabin:
"Your Highness, a powerful life signal fluctuation has been detected ahead, approaching our position at an extremely fast speed, suspected to be a super-giant Universe lifeform. We need to change course immediately."
Hearing this, a young girl in a white gauze dress asked nervously, "janbot, is it a Universe monster?"
"I'm very sorry, Your Highness, I cannot make an accurate judgment at this time. To ensure your safety, I will do my best to avoid him."
However, just as the spaceship was turning, a streaking light instantly traversed an ultra-long distance and appeared in front of the spaceship, then slowly materialized.
This figure was Zod. After sensing a life aura in this direction, he flew directly towards it.
Noticing that the other party intended to change course temporarily, he immediately understood that they were trying to avoid him.
But how could he let go of such an opportunity to understand the current time and space? He immediately accelerated to full speed and blocked their path.
Looking at the spaceship in front of him, Zod always felt a sense of familiarity.
When he read the memories of the young girl inside the spaceship, everything immediately became clear!
This was the parallel Universe where the Belial Galactic Empire was located, and he had now become the Emperor of the Universe.
In fact, this Universe was also the Universe where Ultraman Nexus was located, but tens of thousands of years had passed since Nexus eliminated the Unknown Lifeforms.
The former Earth had become the current Planet Esmeralda.
However, the current Esmeralda had been captured by Belial, all for the purpose of acquiring Emeral Ore.
This Ore was a high-purity energy crystal formed over tens of thousands of years through the combination of residual cells from the Unknown Lifeforms after their destruction and the energy left behind by Noah.
The spaceship in front of him was named janbot. It was Esmeralda's royal spaceship and mechanical guard, not merely a robot; he possessed his own independent personality.
The young girl in the spaceship was Emerlana, the second princess of the royal family, and also the only surviving human on that planet.
janbot had been wandering in the Universe with her for some time, and now they were preparing to head to a small planet called Anu for energy replenishment.
However, what puzzled Zod was whether the Belial in this Universe was the one defeated by Zero, or the one who escaped from the Monster Graveyard due to his own appearance.
If it was the former, after his intervention in the Land of Light's calamity, he wondered if this world would still receive Zero's salvation.
If it was the latter, then it meant that Zod had not only crossed the Universe this time but also traveled through time.
However, it was not difficult to verify all of this. He just needed to follow them to Planet Anu and see if he would encounter Zero, who had Transmigrated through time and space and possessed the human Arashi!
Otherwise, he could just go directly to Belial and ask him face to face.
At this moment, Emerlana in the spaceship saw Zod appear on the display screen and couldn't help but feel a little astonished: "janbot, he seems to be a Universe human?"
But janbot reminded her: "Your Highness, the other party stopping us might have some ulterior motives. Please be prepared, there might be a tough battle ahead!"
Hearing this, Emerlana immediately clasped her hands together nervously, her face filled with deep worry.
Just as janbot was about to launch an attack, a psychic message entered the spaceship.
"Don't be agitated, I have no ill intentions towards you!"
Hearing this, even the simple-minded Princess Emerlana did not easily believe him.
Although she felt scared, she still bravely mustered the courage to ask Zod, "Sir, may I ask, is there something you need by stopping us?"
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Zod, and I am an interstellar traveler."
"Currently, there is indeed something I need your help with. Your destination for this trip is Planet Anu, right? I wonder if it would be convenient to take me along!"
Looking at Zod's confident expression, not only Emerlana but also janbot felt a little surprised.
Because their itinerary was planned by janbot, no one else would know about it.
At this moment, their vigilance towards Zod deepened a few points.
However, before they could react, Zod's figure flashed and he had already appeared inside the spaceship.
"Alarm, alarm, spaceship invaded by an unknown lifeform!"
Immediately, janbot's early warning System began to give frantic alerts.
Then his internal weapon defense System immediately shot several golden electric lights towards Zod, transforming into chains that bound his body.
A huge current instantly spread throughout his body, but for Zod, it wasn't even a massage.
With a slight movement of his body, the lightning chains instantly shattered.
Seeing this scene, Emerlana was so frightened that she fell from her seat, her face filled with terror, and her body helplessly moved backward.
"Don't hurt Your Highness!"
At this moment, janbot also shouted loudly at Zod in a very humanized anxious tone.
This was inside his body, so he naturally did not dare to launch high-intensity attacks at Zod, fearing to hurt the princess or damage his own machine.
Seeing both of them, one human and one machine, looking so tense and scared, Zod leisurely walked in front of Emerlana.
Then he showed what he considered a kind smile, bent down slightly, and extended his hand to her, saying:
"I've already said, I really have no ill intentions towards you, I just want a ride."
But his action made Emerlana tremble all over.
janbot shouted anxiously: "Princess!"
However, the young girl did not find Zod making any other movements; extending his hand to her seemed to genuinely be just to help her up from the ground.
Although the young girl was still somewhat fearful at this time, she still tremblingly extended her hand and took his.
After standing firm, the young girl also tidied her demeanor. Although tension could still be seen on her face, her fear had mostly subsided.
After standing firm again, Emerlana cautiously asked Zod, "Mr. Zo... Zod, do you really just want to go to Planet Anu?"
"Of course, there will be a very interesting fellow there."
By this time, the princess and his machine guard had finally managed to somewhat relax their guard against Zod.
janbot immediately said: "Mr. Zod, I will now activate the particle accelerator and rush to Planet Anu at full speed."
"No need to rush, just go at your normal speed!"
But janbot didn't care at all at this moment. His only thought now was to reach the destination as soon as possible and get rid of Zod.
Although he had not shown any malice temporarily, having such a huge threat near his princess was not a good thing.
