Dark Tiga, what are you doing?

Chapter 136 Suzuki Ame refuses to become Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness.

"What? You're saying that Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame have gone missing?"

"Not long after we left the Alchemy Star base?"

"Completely out of contact? Without even the slightest detection?"

"..."

Ultraman chat group—

Everyone returned to their respective posts and got busy. The four Ultramen also returned to their shops and lived ordinary lives. On ordinary days, they were kind and friendly ordinary people, but when danger came, they could transform into Showa-era elders to fight the enemy.

I thought I'd have a few days of leisure before heading to another dimension to lend a hand. But little did I expect that a new incident would occur so soon after we parted ways.

Dan Moroboshi: Is it related to the wishing red ball again?
Asuka Shin: No, it was after I left the base, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the wishing red ball.

Hideki Go: Has a brand new enemy invaded again?

Hayata Susumu: It seems that the decision to leave some of our forces to stay on Earth was the right one. There are still enemies lurking in the shadows that we don't know about.

Haruno Musashi: Maybe he came to Earth after defeating Zog.

Little Bird: Hmm? Tianliuhai can mysteriously disappear?

Little Bird's eyes widened when she saw the message in the group chat.

Could it be that Tian Liuhai, whom he had always regarded as an Ultraman Killer, would also be ambushed by an enemy?

Could it be that the malevolent energy within him has intensified to the point that it can now harm him?

The little bird frowned. This wouldn't be good.

Although he felt deep down that getting close to Tian Liuhai would lead to something bad, how could they, as companions, just stand by and watch someone get into trouble? It seemed that after finding Tian Liuhai, it would be necessary to take him to the Holy Kingdom to pray to His Holy Spirit and ask for blessings.

Otherwise, allowing the malevolent energy within one's body to continue to grow is not a good thing.

Daigo: To add to that, the two people who went missing were Tenryukai and Suzuki Amane.

Kirino Makio: Strange, did they disappear after the Alchemy Star base? Logically, if they were near the Alchemy Star, my superpower should have detected them. But there's no reaction at all. Could it be that the enemy's strength this time is beyond imagination?

Hibino Mirai: Maybe they're not enemies.

Dan Moroboshi: What Xiaomeng said makes sense, but we need to be fully prepared. We need to be on guard against anyone, whether they are enemies or not.

Kirino Makio: I'll go investigate the scene of the disappearance. Since it's not related to the wishing red ball, I'm sure I can find out something.

In the Ultraman chat group, the group discussed the mysterious disappearance of Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame for a while, and then went back to doing their own things.

People like Daigo and Hibino Mirai joined the GUTS team and are very busy. As a paranormal investigation organization, they have many responsibilities, especially now that monsters are frequently appearing. They receive reports from the public for any slight disturbance, and they have to go and investigate. However, most of the time it turns out to be a false alarm.

……

Inside the bakery.

Beidou Xingsi looked worried.

Even the speed at which he was making bread unconsciously slowed down.

Others may not know what happened to Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame, but how could he not guess?

According to Hokuto Seiji's speculation, this mysterious disappearance is most likely related to Dark Ace. That unknown darkness has corrupted Ace, leading to his current disappearance.

Although Hokuto Seiji didn't know the exact details, he felt it was most likely due to the influence of Dark Ace. He had racked his brains these past few days, but he couldn't figure out what could have made the remaining portion of Ace's soul that hadn't been corrupted choose to conceal the truth and try to resolve the situation on its own.

It seems the situation is about to break down. Has Dark Ace intervened?

If Dark Ace were to make a move, then Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame would likely be in danger right now.

After all, they are of one mind and body, and are each other's closest confidants.

The thought that he might not be able to see his two excellent human hosts, Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame, filled Hokuto Seiji with deep regret. Of course, it was also possible that Dark Ace would choose to corrupt his two human hosts with darkness, causing them to fall from guardians of justice into evil invaders, becoming dark villains or something similar.

"That damned Ace!" Hokuto Seiji thought, unable to help but curse.

Now it's up to him to take action. If it was Dark Ace who did it, then based on their shared origins, Hokuto Seiji believes he is the most likely person to find Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame.

After all, in a sense, they are of one mind and body.

"Hokuto, what's wrong?" Nan Yuko noticed Hokuto Seiji's expression.

Nan Yuko couldn't help but step forward and ask with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Upon hearing Minami Yuko's voice, Hokuto Seiji instantly withdrew the ferocious expression that had belonged to the Showa Emperor, revealing a kind smile. "No, Minami Yuko, I'm fine. I was just thinking about some things."

"Really? I haven't seen you with that expression in a long time. I don't know what it means, but I think something must have happened to you." Nan Xizi smiled slightly. "If you want to do it, then go for it. Whatever it is, I'll support you."

Hearing Minami Yuko's words, Hokuto Seiji felt a surge of emotion.

"Yes." Hokuto Seisaku nodded vigorously.

The disappearances of Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame are related to another version of him.

The two were people he highly regarded, so he couldn't possibly ignore them.

Let him be the one to find Tenryukai and Suzuki Amane.

Hokuto Seiji walked out of the bakery.

The Ultra Rings on his hands radiated light.

As Hokuto Seiji pressed the two Ultra Rings tightly together, Ace's unique light shone forth.

"Taku!"

Ace's crimson body appeared and flew towards the sky.

……

at that time.

Ace, who was inexplicably blamed, felt a bit heavy on his shoulders and a slight hunch in his back while inside the Ultra Ring.

He looked outside through the Ultra Ring.

They were also surprised by the teleportation of Tenryukai and Suzuki Ame.

Why were his two human hosts suddenly sent to another world?

It looks like it's still a forced teleportation.

Although, given the true strength of his two human incarnations, they would most likely be unable to perform a forced teleportation if they were unwilling.

However, Ace was still very curious about who had set their sights on his two human hosts.

Do we need Ultraman's power?

But aren't there still many Ultraman existing on the Shining Earth?

Or is it that the power of the Dark Ruler and the Dark Lord is required?

Dark Godfather Ace remained inside the Ultra Ring, continuing to observe the situation.

Unaware that the shining Hokuto Seiji on Earth had already started cursing at him.

……

Standing in the ruined city, with ashes and thick smoke burning everywhere, the sky filled with a black mist that shrouded the earth in shadow. Death was bred in countless dark places, all things withered, and the wails of living beings appeared all around. Evil flames burning the earth raged on the black scorched soil.

Tenryukai and Suzuki Ue looked around.

Suzuki Yu raised an eyebrow, her relaxed expression gradually turning serious. She looked around warily and said, "Senpai, why does this place look so much like the world that Agul and Gaia came to, as shown by the red ball?"

The dark god who fought Gaia and Agul hasn't been seen yet, but so far, everything they've seen matches the horrific scene inside the red sphere. This makes Suzuki Yu wonder if they've also been transported to a world destroyed by a dark god.

Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroshi also traveled through time using the Wishing Red Ball, but how did they travel through time? No one made a wish on the Wishing Red Ball.

Suzuki Yu was filled with questions. Tenryukai looked around, and the noisy sounds seemed to ring in his ears again, which startled him. He quickly realized that this was the world that had been causing him to hallucinate. Was it the voices of the people in this world that had reached his ears?

So, is their arrival here related to this reason? He was summoned by the people of this world, but what about Suzuki Amane? Did he also hear the summons? It doesn't seem likely; he couldn't have been brought here along with him, could he?

Or perhaps... the image of the little girl in red flashed through Tian Liuhai's mind.

Is it because of her?
Although he did not see the little girl in red from the Ultraman universe, he suspected that the serious issue was actually orchestrated by the little girl in red.

Otherwise, how could they have come to the Ultraman Tiga TV universe for no reason?

Tian Liuhai kicked at the pebbles at his feet and looked towards the distant coastline. It seemed that he could see Gatanothor, the Dark Ruler, standing on the sea horizon through anything that could block his view.

“Over on the east coast,” Tian Liuhai murmured.

"East Coast?" Suzuki Yu was taken aback.

She quickly realized what was happening.

The senior was probably referring to invaders from this world.

She quickly channeled the power of Ace from the ring into her eyes, activating the Ultra Eye to look towards the east coast. Sure enough, in the distance on the east coast, she spotted the invaders, the Dark Ruler Gatanothor.

In a daze, Suzuki Yu felt as if she had become Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, unleashing her dark power freely on the sea. But it only lasted for a moment, and Suzuki Yu quickly came back to her senses.

She felt a chill.

Did I become Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness?
Don't want this kind of thing.

Seeing the dark ruler Gatanothor wreak havoc on the world and petrify his own companions is unacceptable.

How could she suddenly feel like she had become Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness? This feeling was so strange; she would rather die than become the ruler of darkness.

Not only does Suzuki Ame not want to become Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, but she also wants to defeat Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness.

We cannot allow the other party to remain in the world and continue to wreak havoc. If the Dark Ruler were to freely unleash the dark power within him, this planet would likely become a dark planet, and all life on it would cease to exist.

At that time, all things will perish, there will be no life left, and it will become a completely desolate planet. The once beautiful, azure-blue planet will become history and turn into dust.

However, it's probably unlikely that they can defeat their opponent with Ace's power alone.

Even with Gaia and Agul joining forces, plus Tiga from this world, they were still defeated. Relying solely on Ace's power... was still too much of a stretch.

Suzuki Yu looked at Tenryukai and asked in confusion, "Senior, what should we do now?"

Should we go straight to it?

So their ultimate fate will likely be defeat.

“If you’re not in a hurry, why don’t you wait a bit?” Tian Liuhai thought for a moment and said, “If we want to accomplish something during this time, perhaps we can dive into the deep sea to retrieve the ancient light genetic converter and then revive Gaia, Agul, and Tiga together.”

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Yu's eyes lit up.

This plan sounds pretty good.

If we can revive them, then we can wait for our companions on the other side of Shining Earth to notice and develop a time-travel machine to come and provide support.

That will be the real showdown.

It's hard to say who will win.

"Then let's not wait any longer, senior. Let's transform and go to the deep sea to retrieve the excess light genetic converter and help Gaia, Agu, and Tiga be revived." Suzuki Yu held up the sparkling ring, a little impatient.

If she could make a difference, if she could increase the power to defeat Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, Suzuki Yu wanted to act immediately. It wasn't just to save the world and her companions; it was also because the fantasy she'd just experienced disgusted her, and she wanted to defeat the enemy as soon as possible, to completely eliminate that possibility.

She had no desire to become the ruler of darkness; such a thing was far too terrifying for her. A world-destroying, world-crushing evil god—she herself?
Haha, no matter how you look at it, it's impossible to accept.

Tian Liuhai did not refuse. The reason he took the initiative to make this suggestion was because he rarely wanted to slack off.

He was a little curious: if he had resolved the world-ending crisis posed by Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, ahead of time, would he have encountered the little girl in red from the Ultraman universe? His intuition told him that their journey was closely related to the little girl in red within the Ultraman universe.

The red-clad little girl in the Ultraman universe is generally believed to be a manifestation of Earth's consciousness, used to communicate with humans or Ultraman warriors.

If he could see her, he wouldn't mind giving the little girl in the red dress a good spanking with his size 45 boot. Let her know the wrath of someone working overtime.

The two simultaneously raised the Ultra Rings they were wearing.

The Ace Ring shone brightly, and a dazzling light emanated from it. The light of Ace enveloped the two of them, and their figures gradually merged into one. In its place was Ultraman Ace.

Ultraman Ace transformed into a red ball of light and headed towards the deep sea.

Ultraman Ace acted with extreme caution. To avoid being detected by the Dark Ruler, he even tore open space and teleported instantly.

This also prevented TPC from noticing the reappearance of a completely new Ultraman.

……

The bottom of the deep sea.

Using his teleportation ability, Ultraman Ace arrived at the bottom of the deep sea.

The two sensed the depletion of the light power within Ultraman Ace's body. It seemed that the teleportation skill couldn't be used frequently by them. Although it didn't cause their red lights to flash, it still consumed some of their power.

"It's Agul, Gaia, and Tiga."

Ace's bright red body made a gurgling sound at the bottom of the sea. The petrified bodies of the three Ultramen were almost lying together, perhaps because they were pierced at the same time.

They also spotted the ancient light genetic converter lying nearby. Fortunately, after Agul revived Ultraman Tiga, the Dark Ruler did not destroy the ancient light genetic converter; otherwise, they would have had difficulty reviving the three of them.

Inside the ancient light genetic converter, Masaki Keigo was still lying inside. Due to the fact that the submarine could not accurately aim at the bottom of the deep sea, and for some other reasons, Masaki Keigo was completely inside the instrument. When Agul was there, Masaki Keigo was helping out.

However, after Tiga's return, the three Ultramen quickly faced the Dark Ruler, so they didn't have time to bring Masaki Keigo out. This left Masaki Keigo stuck at the bottom of the sea.

Watching the three giant stone statues fall from the sea again, Masaki Keigo thought he would never have any hope of escaping the seabed in his lifetime. He even thought he would perish in the deep sea.

Unexpectedly, not long after, he saw a completely new giant appear.

This left Masaki Keigo completely bewildered.

What happened?

New giants appeared one after another.

He originally thought that he and Ultraman Tiga were the only two people on the entire Earth.

But now it seems he was being a bit presumptuous. There seem to be many more giants hiding in the shadows, but they never show themselves on ordinary days. Only when the end of the world comes do these guys hiding in the shadows suddenly appear one after another.

"What a despicable bunch." Although he said that, Masaki Keigo's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, as if there was still hope.

The other side is clearly also after the ancient light genetic converter, wanting to revive the giants.

Masaki Keigo decisively started adjusting the instrument.

The timer is about to be aimed at Ultraman again by the revival beam.

But when he calmed down and looked up at the outside again, his expression changed.

I couldn't help but shout it out loud.

"Hey, watch out behind you!"

Ace was walking towards the converter.

Prepare to pick up the Trinity Giants.

The sound coming from the instrument startled Ace.

Ace, sensing something was wrong, turned around to look.

The Dark Ruler Gatanothor had submerged his entire body in the ocean, facing Ace with a chilling presence.
