I, the Dark Giant! A Kind Heart

Chapter 155 "Sero's Betrayal"

"Something is wrong!"

Tartarus's expression changed.

According to his expectation, Zero should have seized part of the energy of the Eternal Core, and then attracted Leo, and the two of them worked together to deal with Zagi, and were defeated by the powerful Zagi.

Then the King of Ultra came to the rescue, which led to a conflict with Li Mu.

But now...

Li Mu did not attack Zero, nor did he kill Leo with thundering force, he just stopped him.

Completely ruined his plan, and used abilities similar to his to show Zero his future.

Tartarus's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't know what Li Mu wanted to do.

"I……"

On the battlefield, Zero hesitated.

Although he wanted to say firmly that he would not succumb to the darkness.

But is the self in that memory what he really wants?
Zero questioned himself in his heart.

On the other side, Leo didn't know what happened, but looking at Zero's appearance, he understood that Li Mu must have done something, and hurriedly persuaded Zero not to be bewitched.

However, after witnessing the "future" that Li Mu edited for him, Zero simply couldn't listen.

At this moment, there were only two voices in his mind.

One is to follow Li Mu, unwilling to live in mediocrity in the future and be crushed under everyone's feet!
The other is to refuse, to firmly believe in the mission bestowed upon them by the Land of Light and the meaning of "Ultra Warrior" as taught to them by their teachers at the Ultra Academy, as well as what they have been upholding since childhood.

Of these two options, he prefers the second one.

Because he grew up in the Kingdom of Light and accepted everything from the Kingdom of Light.

It's impossible for him to give up so easily.

But that future...

The scene of being beaten violently, the cries of pain, "Dada is too strong", etc., still echo in Zero's mind, making Zero recall the scene when he was denied by all Ultramen in the Kingdom of Light, and he felt a little unwilling in his heart.

After all, he is the leader of the new generation, how can he be so mediocre?

Zero looked depressed and couldn't give an accurate response for a moment.

Li Mu sat quietly, looking down at Cero with a smile on his face, waiting for his reply.

This guy is set up by the director based on Yabuki Joe in "Ashita no Joe" and Fudo Akira in "Devilman". Like Belia, he is a proud person who certainly cannot tolerate being compared to or denied by others. So if there is no one to guide him, he will most likely follow the same path as Belia.

only……

There is still some gap between his experience and Beria's, and he needs an introduction to guide him and then break his bottom line.

Li Mu was confident and had already figured out where to start, so he was determined to defeat Zero.

Finally, faced with two choices, Zero made a decision.

He clenched his fists, "I don't need power!"

"Even if I need strength, I will get it in my own way. I don't need your charity at all."

Cero is extremely tough.

"Oh!"

Li Mu's expression remained unchanged.

As the Ultraman of the Land of Light, although Zero had just been sentenced to be deprived of his status as an "Ultra Warrior" and sent to a juvenile detention center, his early experiences were completely different from Belia's.

These alone would definitely not be enough to make Zero surrender. At most, they would just leave a scar in his heart.

and so……

"in addition……"

Without waiting for Li Mu to speak, Zero seemed to feel that this was not convincing enough. He avoided Li Mu's gaze, paused, and pretended to deceive himself that he didn't care about the future that Li Mu gave him. He said arrogantly: "You guys want to seduce me with just a few fictional pictures, it's 20,000 years too early!"

"Fiction?" Li Mu raised a smile, knowing that he had already believed it and was just pretending. But he did not point it out, and just said lightly, "Maybe!"

"Humph!"

Li Mu's lack of reaction made Zero feel a little uneasy, but he still forced himself to maintain his usual arrogance and snorted as he looked down on everyone.

At this time, Li Mu's eyes moved and he asked with a smile: "Do you know who your father is?"

"……my father?"

Zero could no longer maintain his composure and his eyes were fixed on Li Mu.

He grew up alone and was an orphan in the eyes of outsiders.

Because of this, he tried his best to become stronger and attract other people's attention, similar to Naruto in Naruto, but he just wanted to cover up the loneliness in his heart.

Often when he is alone, he would be touched when he sees other people's parents.

only……

He had always suppressed this emotion deep in his heart and never showed it.

Being pointed out by Li Mu, he suddenly couldn't control himself.

But Cero didn't care.

He just clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?"

"Li Mu!"

Leo, who had been paying attention to this side, couldn't help it anymore. He shouted and tried to stop Li Mu, but what he got in return was the gazes of the two people and a chuckle from Li Mu.

then……

Zero looked at Li Mu again.

Li Mu teased: "Your father is one of the famous Ultra Brothers in the Land of Light."

"One of the Ultra Brothers?"

"Who do you think it could be?"

Li Mu nodded and looked at Cero who had calmed down with a smile in his eyes.

"This……"

"This is impossible!"

"How could he be my father?"

"It was clearly him who denied me, stopped me, and stripped me of my Ultra Warrior status. He even advocated that I be exiled like Belia, my predecessor who touched the plasma spark. How could he be my father?!"

In less than two seconds, Zero got the answer and felt terrible.

Among the Ultra Guard of the Land of Light, there are only a few who are called Ultra Brothers.

And among these, there are not many who are of the same race.

So Zero immediately thought of who the Ultraman might be his father.

but……

Come to think of it, this is not good news!
Zero's mentality exploded, his eyes filled with disbelief and disbelief.

After all, his father was the first one to deny him and advocated abandoning his Ultra identity and exiling him, which completely subverted Zero's inner fantasy about his father.

Before, he had thought that his father might die in battle, or be very busy...

Then there was the thought of beating him up.

But these were just momentary impulses, and he had always longed for fatherly love.

But now...

"Hahahaha," Li Mu laughed, "Nothing is impossible."

"I do not believe!"

"This is impossible!"

"You must be lying to me!"

After three consecutive denials, Zero looked at Leo excitedly, "Leo, tell me this isn't true!"

"Ugh!"

Leo was silent for two seconds and sighed.

Although he did not give Zero an answer, his meaning was very clear.

"Dong dong..."

Zero staggered and took two steps back, as if he had lost his dream.

This made Leo feel very uncomfortable, "Cero, your father has his reasons!"

"Ah!"

Sero responded with a sneer.

This hit the mark of Li Mu's heart, "Okay, Ultraman Zero, give me an answer!"

"Will you follow me and gain great power?"

"I……"

Zero looked back, thought for two seconds, hesitated a little, but finally looked at Li Mu with a gradually determined expression, quite like the way Mebius answered the Yabo people back then.

"I reject!"

"call!"

Leo breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Mu didn't care, just glanced at him and said faintly: "Don't you want to think about it seriously?"

"I……"

Sero opened his mouth.

Can……

Without giving him a chance to speak, Li Mu moved his arms violently, and a stream of golden energy surged out, appearing at his waist with the force of thunder, binding his entire body.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mu waved his hand, and a ball of silver light energy flew out from his palm and rushed straight towards Zero.

This light energy is extremely fast.

By the time Leo and Cero noticed it, the energy had already fallen on Cero's right wrist, and then reversed the energy, changing from its original silver appearance to dark red.

At this time, the golden light that bound Zero's arms to his waist also disappeared.

Zero subconsciously looked at his wrist, and saw a black bracelet-like object emerging in the light.

"what is this?"

Zero felt a little strange, but instinctively knew that this was definitely not a good thing.

Because Li Mu is not that kind!
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the black bracelet "buzzed" and emitted terrifying darkness, which spread in all directions like ivy, with the bracelet as the center.

In the blink of an eye, it swallowed up Zero's entire arm and penetrated into his skin.

"What? What is this?"

It was too late for Zero to break free.

Because his right arm had collapsed and was twitching uncontrollably.

"Ugh..."

Powerful energy continued to be injected into the cells, causing Zero's entire right arm to feel extremely swollen and painful.

This was countless times more painful than the beating from Leo before, causing Zero to cry out in pain, grab his right arm with his left hand, and stagger to the ground...

"G!"

Leo finally broke free from the Eternal Shining Triga, and seeing Zero twitching in the darkness and making painful sounds, he immediately shouted and rushed over here.

Unfortunately, he was still too late.

How could a mere underage Zero resist the terrifying dark invasion of Li Mu?

But in just a few seconds, Zero's entire body was completely bathed in darkness, and he let out unprecedented screams of pain, and his huge body rolled back and forth on the ground.

Accompanied by screams of "Ahhh" that were several times louder in volume, terrifying energy shocks attacked in all directions.

"G?"

Leo stretched out his hands and had to cover his face to hide it, but he was still knocked back several steps by the powerful impact.

"Dong dong!"

Two huge pits were left on the ground. There was no trace of ruined buildings in all directions centered on Cerro. Only flat dust was slowly floating in the air.

"G?!"

Leo put down his arms and looked at the figure who had stood up at some point, with some surprise in his eyes.

I saw that Zero who was in the previous position had disappeared, and in his place was a giant with flames formed by a large amount of dark energy rising all over his body, and his whole body was made of black and red.

now……

The giant, his body covered in flames, stood there proudly with his head lowered, emitting an unsettling aura.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, with a "buzz" sound, Zero's dim eyes lit up.

Without saying anything, he moved his right hand, and a dark purple light emanated from his palm, forming a crescent-shaped light blade that rushed towards Leo, who was closest and almost approaching.

"not good!"

Leo's pupils shrank, and in a flash, his huge body turned around.

In an instant, a purple light blade struck, cutting a deep gully in the ground where Leo had stood before, and went away at an extremely fast speed, leaving a conspicuous mark.

"G?!"

Leo looked at Cero in astonishment.

But Zero ignored him and just looked at his body.

"This power..."

Zero's once passionate and arrogant voice suddenly became a little cold and calm at this moment.

He flexed his fingers, feeling the strength in his body, looked at the bracelet on his wrist, then touched his cheek, a flash of fascination flashing across his orange-red eyes.

"Humph!"

Like Belia, Zero is an unruly guy.

They are both very proud and will definitely not accept charity.

Even if the heart is very eager.

But in words... he was absolutely tough, refusing to admit defeat or mistakes.

It’s just like what someone said before Li Mu traveled through time: “Even if I starve to death and jump off from here, I will not eat any of your food.”, and then turned around and said “How delicious!”!
"How does it feel?"

Li Mu had a playful look on his face.

Zero came back to his senses, put down his arms, and snorted with an arrogant attitude: "I didn't say I wanted this power!"

"hehe!"

Li Mu smiled, then his eyes moved, and he glanced at Leo beside him, and said tentatively: "Don't you want to try this power?"

Zero understood and turned his gaze to Leo. Looking at Leo's figure, which left a deep impression in his memory and was covered with his fist marks, he felt moved.

"Cero, this is not your strength. You have not yet understood the meaning of the strongest warrior."

Being stared at by Zero's dark eyes, Leo froze, but he was still ready to persuade him, saying bitterly, "Even if you get a powerful force, it's only..."

"shut up!"

Zero shouted angrily, interrupting Leo's words, making Leo stunned.

He looked.

Ultraman Zero's emotions fluctuated, causing the energy in his body to become extremely unstable, and even his eyes were glowing red.

He clenched his fists, as if thinking of an unpleasant memory from the past, "You always say the same thing. It's because I don't understand the meaning of the strongest warrior."

“It’s so annoying!”

"I……"

Leo wanted to say something, but Zero didn't give him the chance.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed the ground with his legs, his body flew into the air, and turned into a purple light. His feet were filled with huge energy and rushed towards him with the force of thunder.

"G!"

Leo was shocked and wanted to take defensive action without saying anything more.

But before he could move, two dark silver ice axes flew over, surrounding Leo and completely disrupting his movements.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zero kicked Leo hard in the chest.

"boom!"

The powerful energy that gathered exploded instantly.

Even though Leo had blocked it immediately, the terrifying impact force of Leo's conical flying kick still spread to his body, forcing him to retreat madly.

It left two gullies nearly a thousand meters long on the ground, and then crashed into a half-ruined building with a "bang".

In an instant, the building was like paper, smashed into pieces by Leo's huge body, and fragments fell all over the ground.

"Boom!"

Zero landed steadily and with a wave of his hands, the two head darts fell into his hands.

"Cough cough..."

Leo stood up from the ruins, looked at the cold-breathed Cero, and patiently and earnestly advised him again, "Cero, don't be stubborn anymore, come back with me!"

"Humph!"

Zero sneered and did not answer. His body turned into a phantom and rushed towards Leo at a rapid speed.

A flash of brilliance...

"Oh!"

"Boom!"

"boom!"

The two collided together, and the sound of steel clashing and dazzling movements fell into the eyes.

Zero was waving the dart in his hand wildly to vent his anger, while Leo was forced to defend himself, but he didn't dare to attack for fear of hurting Zero, so he had to keep dodging.

At the same time, he dissuaded Zero and tried to convince this child from the past.

But Cero...

Zero is the Zero of the past, or when he was just in his rebellious period, he was eroded by Li Mu's dark power, and his emotions were amplified by the dark power. How could he listen to him?
So he just attacked Leo madly, and at the same time, looking at Leo's embarrassed appearance, he said excitedly: "This reminds me of the time when I was beaten up by you on Planet K76!"

"G……"

"Leo!"

The two of them collided wildly, with flashing lights, and their movements were so fast that they could not be observed by the naked eye.

The humans outside were stunned.

Not to mention Tartarus in the Nalak space.

At this moment, his face was extremely gloomy.

I felt an indescribable discomfort.

His original purpose was to draw the attention of the Ultra Clan to this place, and by the way, to lure out the King of Ultra to create trouble for Li Mu's plan.

As a result, this damn plan was not accomplished, and instead, Zero and Leo started fighting first.

and……

Damn, it looks like Li Mu also seems to have some thoughts about this past Zero.

This made Tartarus extremely upset.

The most important thing is that he didn't dare to run down and interfere with Li Mu's plan.

Do you think he feels depressed?

He was extremely frustrated!
As for your question about how to be frustrated?

Hmm! Seeing Li Mu making money made him feel worse than seeing him losing money.

"Tsk!"

Although the two men moved extremely quickly, they could not escape Li Mu's sight.

Li Mu watched their fight with a strange smile on his face.

At the same time, he was also looking for an opportunity to take action so that he could label Zero as a master-killer, making it impossible for him to find an excuse to return to the light and forcing him to stand against the Kingdom of Light.

If it becomes...

That would be fun.

At this moment, a big drama is about to unfold.

Li Mu had even thought of the slogan for this drama.

The betrayal of the strongest Ultraman, the Land of Light is in danger, darkness shrouds light, the strongest villain in history appears, Ultraman's life hangs by a thread, where the fate of the Land of Light will go, and how will the future of the Ultra family develop? The Ultraman Movie "The Betrayal of Zero" will be officially broadcast in 2077, so stay tuned!
