At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 506 The World of Eternal Stagnation

The golden light slowly receded, and the enormous body shrank.

Finally, Asakura Riku transformed back into human form, looked up at the sky, and had a somewhat puzzled expression.

"Disappeared……"

Asakura Riku murmured, "Dark Lucifer seems to have disappeared at the very end?"

But he was certain that Dark Lucifer no longer existed in this universe...

At least the immediate threat has been eliminated.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came.

"Asakura!"

"Ged!"

It was Jun Himeya and the members of the Night Raid Team. They arrived at the ruins and looked at Riku Asakura standing there, their faces filled with a mixture of relief and complex emotions from surviving the ordeal.

"Sorry... I couldn't hold off Dark Zagi."

Himeya Jun said somewhat apologetically.

"You've done a great job..."

"Gou Lümu and Dark Mephisto's strength far exceeded expectations, and... that live broadcast was Zaki's trap."

You have bought me valuable time.

Asakura Riku shook his head and continued.

Eisuke Wakura led his team over, looking at the scene before them and then at the smoke and dust rising from the distant city, his expression quite complicated.

"Thank you, Asakura Riku. You saved the world."

Captain Hecang took a deep breath and expressed his sincere gratitude.

"No matter what, we TLT will continue to fight." He looked at Asakura Riku, his eyes filled with respect.

"This is what I should do……"

Asakura Riku smiled, then changed the subject.
"However, the alien beast factor has not been eliminated, and one day they will reappear..."

"Well, now it's time for our battle..."

Captain Hecang nodded. The alien beast genes have taken root in the creatures of this world. As long as the darkness in people's hearts has not disappeared, alien beasts will continue to appear.

But he believes that with their efforts, one day humanity will be able to defeat the alien beasts.

"Ok!"

Jun Himeya nodded; this time, he would no longer be confused.

"Heh~ It seems I don't need to worry about this world anymore..."

Seeing this, Asakura Riku smiled, unlike the other worlds he had traveled to.

Despite experiencing pain and despair, the people of the Ultraman world never give up hope.

"Then I should go too..."

When Asakura Riku spoke, his words stunned everyone.

"Are you leaving?"

Komon Kazuki couldn't help but ask.

“I come from another universe, and I have things I must do.”

Asakura Riku nodded in reply.

Himeya Jun looked at him quietly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and finally nodded gently.

"Wishing you all the best, guardian of the universe."

Captain Kazukura stepped forward and extended his hand to Asakura Riku.

"Ah."

Asakura Riku grasped Captain Kazukura's hand and nodded.

"Goodbye."

There was no excessive sentimentality, and no unnecessary embellishment.

Riku Asakura turned around, transforming into a giant, nodded to the crowd, and then flew into space.

Upon arriving in space, he took out the [Noah Ultra Capsule], which was emitting a gentle yet powerful light.

hum-

A soft yet powerful light emanated from the capsule, instantly enveloping Riku Asakura.

Influenced by this power, the surrounding space began to distort, forming a magnificent and mysterious spacetime tunnel.

He entered the passage, surrounded by countless shimmering points of light and ever-changing colors, as if he were traversing the veins of the universe.

This feeling was much easier than any other time travel method he had used before; it truly lived up to its reputation as a cheat code for the power of the Four Mysterious Ultras.

Just when he thought he would arrive at his destination smoothly.

A faint voice suddenly pierced through the clamor of the time-space passage and rang directly in his mind.

The voice was very soft and weak.

"...The...Successor of Light..."

"...Please...save...our universe..."

Asakura Riku abruptly stopped moving through the time-space tunnel.

Is this... a call of light from another universe?

And it sounds like... he's in a really bad state.

"Saving a universe? Here we go again?"

Asakura Riku was taken aback. He had received far too many distress signals lately.
However, he didn't hesitate for long and headed straight in the direction from which the sound came.

But as Ultraman, he couldn't ignore this distress signal, especially since the other party was also a force of "light." ...

hum-

The time-space portal is closed.

Riku Asakura appeared in an unfamiliar universe, and an extremely dense dark power rushed towards him.

This darkness is different from the malice and madness of Zaki's darkness, and also different from the cold and mocking darkness of Mephisto.

It's more like the pure, profound, lifeless darkness at the beginning or end of the universe...

"This darkness..."

Asakura Riku frowned. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, as if he were in a forgotten corner where all life had been drained away.

He looked around and saw no stars, no Milky Way, only a lifeless, pitch-black expanse, like ink spilled on the ground.

The entire universe was deathly silent.

He tried to sense the presence of life.

No.

Nothing at all.

It was as if the entire universe had fallen into some kind of terrible slumber, or... had already died.

"How could this be?"

Riku Asakura's heart sank; he could hardly imagine what had happened in this universe.

He followed that faint guidance and moved forward.

The planet they eventually landed on should be Earth in this universe, but its surface is also desolate.

There was no wind, no sound, and even the air seemed to have frozen.

He crossed desolate plains and climbed hills devoid of vegetation. Finally, he saw a city.

It was a very modern city, with skyscrapers, streets, vehicles... everything looked like a normal city.

Except... there was no movement at all.

Asakura Riku walked into the city, his footsteps sounding particularly jarring on the quiet streets.

He saw people standing, sitting, and walking on the street.

They maintained various poses, their faces frozen in a variety of expressions.

Some people are about to cross the road, with one foot still in the air.

Some people sit in a coffee shop, holding a coffee cup in their hand, with a calm smile on their face.

Some people were running in the park, leaning forward, with sweat seemingly still clinging to their foreheads.

Some people stopped in front of the shop windows, their eyes filled with joy.

Most of them wore expressions of happiness, peace, or busyness, without a trace of pain or fear.

But they... were all frozen in time, frozen in a happy moment.

Time seems to have completely stopped flowing here.

Asakura Riku walked up to someone, reached out, and gently touched the person's shoulder.

Cold and stiff.

Nothing happens.

Like... a living sculpture.

"How is this going?"

Asakura Riku was filled with shock and bewilderment. What kind of power could stop time in the entire universe, freezing all life in this instant?

And why do their expressions... look so calm, even happy?
He continued walking forward, passing through one still scene after another.

He saw family members embracing each other, friends laughing and having fun at gatherings, and children playing on the playground...

These scenes, which should have been full of life and warmth, now appear particularly eerie because of the stillness of time.

He could sense that the faint light was guiding him in some direction within the city.

He walked through the city center and arrived at an area on the edge of the city.

There are some schools and residential areas here.

That guidance is becoming increasingly clear.

He arrived at the gate of an abandoned school. The school gate was wide open, and the inside was just as deathly silent.

Following the signs, he entered the teaching building, walked through the empty corridors, and finally stopped in front of a classroom.

The classroom door was closed.

He pushed open the door, and a whiff of dust hit him.

The classroom was in a mess, with desks and chairs overturned and the blackboard still covered with writing that hadn't been wiped clean.

Right next to the teacher's podium in the classroom, a worn-out object that looked like a toy lay quietly on the ground.

Asakura Riku stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the object.

It feels cold to the touch, and the surface is somewhat damaged, but you can still feel the faint power contained within it.

Isn't this just "Galaxy Spark"?

“Lugiel…”

"The Milky Way..."

Combining the galactic spark in my hand with the eerie stillness and deathly silence of this universe…

Is this... the world of Ultraman Ginga?!
