Dark Tiga, what are you doing?

Chapter 161 The Appearance of a Mysterious Secret

"Thia!"

"just!"

Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Mebius continue their battle.

The power of light was continuously unleashed, bursting forth towards the enemy.

The red light flashing on his chest grew increasingly urgent.

As the two fought anxiously, a black mist silently crept up from the earth, covering the barren ground. Unbeknownst to them, the ground beneath their feet had become a pool of black soil. Both the Phantom Universe duo and the two Ultras sensed the anomaly. When they looked down, they saw the black mist even spreading upwards from their feet, constantly attacking their bodies, causing their power to stagnate due to the obstruction of the black mist.

"This is……?!"

Mold and Gina had never seen the Dark Ruler.

However, Tiga and Mebius had already witnessed it.

Alarm bells were ringing in their minds.

The two enemies in front of them hadn't even been eliminated yet, and now a completely new enemy had appeared. Moreover, the strength of this new enemy was in no way inferior to, and perhaps even surpassed, that of Mold and Gina.

To suffer.

The two couldn't help but have some bad thoughts.

He felt that he was probably doomed in the City of Time and Space, unable to rescue his companions and losing himself in the process.

Mold's ferocious armor unleashed bursts of power to resist the black mist and expel it. Then, looking into the distance, he saw more and more black mist, like ocean waves, rushing in one after another, seemingly about to engulf everything, making him feel threatened.

This force...something's not right.

How could a dark force even stronger than his attack come from here?

While Gatanothor's darkness alone is powerful, it might not be enough to destroy Mold and Gina. However, it's important to remember that this is Gatanothor's true form, and he's not only using the power of Gatanothor from the Ultraman Tiga timeline, but also the power of Suzuki Ame from this timeline.

The superposition of two dark powers is not as simple as 1+1. Both Mord and Gina are naturally under immense pressure facing the Dark Ruler at this moment, especially since the Dark Ruler is specifically targeting them.

As for the severely injured Tiga and Mebius, they were completely bypassed by the Dark Ruler Gatanothor.

The two watched as countless tentacles rolled in along the black mist, completely ignoring them as if they didn't exist, charging straight towards Mold and Gina. The bat battle axe they wielded and the bat whip they danced with displayed the power of the Phantom Empire. Gina lashed out frantically, but due to being severely injured by Ultraman Mebius's bomb, she seemed somewhat powerless, and occasionally a tentacle would cross the protective circle formed by her bat whip.

Fortunately, Mold was still at the height of his power, wielding his bat-axe and severing all the black tentacles that had slipped through.

“Brother, how could such a dark entity suddenly appear in the Time-Space City? Could it be…” Gina suspected that Etelgar had broken his promise and was preparing to annihilate them and the Ultra Warriors here.

“Hmm…” Mold was also unsure.

He had indeed prepared to turn against Etelgar beforehand, but he hadn't expected Etelgar to turn on him so quickly. Even Ultraman hadn't fully sealed them away; they were only severely injured, yet they were already so eager to send their subordinates to attack them?

And are they really Etalgar's subordinates?
Mold harbored doubts. The power displayed by Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, was so overwhelming that he felt such a dark being didn't seem like someone who would be dependent on others; perhaps, like them, they were all partners.

However, the Time-Space Demon God Etelgar has now chosen to turn against them and has sent the Dark Ruler Gatanothor to destroy them.

Think of this.

As Mold swung his bat-shaped battle axe, he said, "So you and Etelgar have also formed an alliance? There's no need. He can betray us today, and he can betray you tomorrow..."

Mold attempted to persuade Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness.

To get them on their side.

However, as we all know, verbal persuasion is usually reserved for the protagonist.

Villains usually fail when they try to talk their way out of things.

Especially the villains who get the situation wrong.

Suzuki Yu's face darkened as she listened to Mold's words. When did she become involved with the Time-Space Demon? This attack was precisely to defeat those who were allied with the Time-Space Demon.

The two guys in front of her were the ones who came to Earth with the Time-Space Demon God to cause trouble. How could she possibly let them go?
Is this guy out of his mind? How could he say something like that?
Suzuki Yu remained silent, instead secretly engaging Gatanothor in fierce combat.

Mold instantly felt the pressure, and the speed at which he swung his bat axe slowed down.

Faced with hordes of tentacles, he couldn't cut them all off, and the power within his body evaporated like flowing water.

Compared to the double hellish darkness within Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, the power within him at this moment was simply insufficient to expend.

The main reason is that this is still on someone else's territory. If it were within the Ancient Empire, Mold could replenish its energy in many ways and become stronger with each battle.

However, he couldn't get any replenishment right now, even though he had prepared himself for Etelgar's betrayal. But he never expected the betrayal to happen first within the City of Time and Space.

As a result, the methods he had prepared could not be activated. He was unable to make contact successfully.

"Damn it," Mold said angrily.

As the great monarch of the Gua Empire, when had he ever felt so frustrated?

Since their birth, they have never felt so humiliated, not even when they were fighting against the Land of Light.

If Juda hadn't died first, the three siblings could have attacked together, further enhancing their strength.

After all, the teamwork between the three siblings was flawless, a perfect combination honed through numerous battles.

Even without the three siblings combining their powers, their complete focus and perfect coordination allowed them to develop a combined attack technique that could unleash power dozens of times greater than their normal strength. Any powerful enemy would be defeated by this combined attack.

Unfortunately, Juda died first, preventing them from unleashing their combined attack. They were left to fight a difficult battle as a pair. Previously, they had been able to handle the Ultra Warriors with relative ease.

Now, they are facing someone with such terrifying dark power.

The pressure is immense.

It's true what they say, fortunes change quickly; it's their turn to fight to the death so soon.

Seeing Mold and Gina locked in a fierce battle, Tiga and Mebius exchanged a glance. They cautiously pressed themselves back-to-back, wary of an attack from the Dark Ruler Gatanothor.

However, these tentacles acted as if they didn't exist, bypassing them only to attack Mold and Gina.

This left them somewhat bewildered; weren't they the enemy's target?
Why would they attack Mold and Gina?
I initially thought they were in cahoots, but now it seems that's not the case. Could it be that they've had a falling out, or were they never really together in the first place?

The two couldn't understand it.

“Be careful. Although they haven’t attacked us yet, we must be on guard. Perhaps after the Dark Ruler Gatanothor has dealt with Mold and Gina, he will make his move against us,” Mebius said.

They had already witnessed Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, before.

Through the wishing red ball, they learned about the final boss of the Ultraman Tiga TV timeline.

Now, Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, has appeared on this very earth.

This surprised Mebius somewhat, but upon reflection, it seemed quite normal that Tiga also lived on this planet, and that the monster Tiga was supposed to fight also appeared on this planet.

Thinking about it that way, it's not surprising.

So, following the original storyline, after Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, eliminated the two foreign invaders, it was time to deal with the Warriors of Light.

It's a pity that they are both currently low on energy; otherwise, they could take this opportunity to launch a joint attack on Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness.

"Mm." Tiga nodded.

Thinking back, it also brings to mind the incident of wishing for the red ball last time.

Facing his nemesis, he dared not be careless or negligent in the slightest.

Perhaps the other party is currently thinking about how to deal with him?

They were just distracted by Mold and Gina.

He felt that Mold and Gina were more dangerous, so he planned to deal with them first before dealing with the others.

If Mr. Ida Iryu were here, that would be wonderful.

Mr. Ida Iryu is able to unleash a stronger attack than others.

Although he wasn't very proficient in Tiga's other skills and couldn't utilize them effectively, there was no doubt that Ida Ryu was superior in offensive combat.

Meanwhile, within the TPC, at this very moment, Ida Iryu still manifested his soul form from the sword.

Within this base filled with giants of light, his soul power was also nourished and replenished.

The giants repaired his soul using their unique power of light.

He thought that if this wisp of his soul continued for a long time, it would also vanish into nothingness. However, thanks to Daigo's efforts, this wisp of his soul actually became stronger. Even though he had exhausted a lot of energy after helping Daigo in the last battle, which caused him to fall into a short period of slumber, Daigo's efforts enabled him to awaken again.

And a large amount of light power was continuously poured into the depths of his soul.

It gave him a feeling of sublimation, a feeling completely different from his state in life. Although it couldn't compare to his unparalleled combat power in life, it felt like their levels of existence were on completely different levels.

He looked up and gazed through the layers of buildings of TPC at the City of Time and Space.

That enormous city floating in mid-air.

Its appearance caused unrest in various places, and TPC also sent warships to conduct targeted research, but the vastness of the Time-Space City and the invisible magnetic field prevented their warships from entering.

This meant they could only linger outside, unable to detect the specific situation inside.

But there is no doubt that there are terrifying enemies inside, and they have observed a huge energy eruption in the Time-Space City. Fortunately, it is inside the Time-Space City. If it had erupted on Earth, it would have been a huge disaster for city after city, and countless people would have died and countless properties would have been lost.

"This enemy is still not to be underestimated." Iida Ryu frowned.

Even though the City of Time and Space has a unique magnetic field that can block external intrusion, Jing Tianjinglong still sensed the power of the City of Time and Space's master thanks to his keen senses.

This made him very curious as to why such a series of powerful invaders were emerging in this day and age.

Although there were many active evil forces in his era, they were no match for the strength of those in today's world.

“Every era has its own enemies. The ancient era has perished, and the era you live in no longer exists, falling into the long river of history. It is unknown how long human civilization can last now.” You Lian also appeared.

Every time either of them appears, the other one will follow.

It has to be said that the two of them have developed a great understanding after spending so much time together in the TPC base, and they have memorized each other's presence.

Within the entire base, the two of them could be considered quite unique.

This gave them something to talk about, and their backgrounds were remarkably similar: one was the commander of the Earth's defense force from an ancient civilization, and the other was an absolute human powerhouse active in ancient times.

"Maybe it can last a long time," Iida Ryu said, his eyes gleaming.

Through the Time-Space City, he seemed to see a unique scene.

A mysterious and profound aura is quietly emerging.

Was that... the mysterious giant from before?
Jingtian Jinglong stared intently.

……

Inside the City of Time and Space.

The Dark Ruler relentlessly pursued Mold and Gina, and at this rate, it was only a matter of time before the two from the Gua Empire were defeated by the Dark Ruler.

On another level, the battle between Dark Tiga and Legendary Hyper Rhythm is also intensifying.

It shattered another world.

They went to the next independent space.

Within this realm, the intensity of their battle grew ever greater, subtly causing the entire City of Time and Space to seem to spiral out of control. Etelgar, as the master of the City of Time and Space, was astonished, unable to comprehend how such a violent power had suddenly appeared within its walls.

This weakened his control over the City of Time and Space, which was the domain of the Time and Space Demon God.

But he doesn't have the time to deal with this right now. Even if the City of Time and Space is completely out of his control, he has no time to care.

Now, facing the Holy Spirit Gai Ying, he had to be on full guard. However, while he was on guard and trying to capture Gai Ying, Princess Arena was no longer obeying his commands. This was because the scene Arena was facing within the Holy Spirit's power was becoming more and more real.

This made the princess of the fallen kingdom wonder whether it was the Ultra Warrior or the Time Demon God Etelgar who destroyed her homeland.

Could it be that her memories are wrong?
So, if she helped the Time-Space Demon God fight against the Ultra Warriors time and time again and successfully sealed them away, wouldn't that be considered aiding and abetting evil? Thinking about it carefully, Etelgar's appearance was quite coincidental and strange. How come it just so happened that when she was the only one left in the royal family, Etelgar came to her rescue?

They didn't come earlier or later, but at that exact moment, and they kept instilling in her the idea that Ultraman were the enemy.

And why does Etelgar have such strong hostility towards the Ultra Warriors?
If the memories in her mind are false, and it was Etelgar who tampered with them, then wouldn't that mean the Ultra Warriors are the ones on the side of justice, and she has been aiding and abetting evil, helping Etelgar harm innocent lives all along?

Think of this.

Princess Arena could not accept this. This led her to no longer obey Etelgar's commands and refuse to release the unique seal of their race. Subtly, her beliefs even influenced the thoughts within the Holy Spirit's power.

This allowed the princess of a fallen kingdom to witness the existence of the Holy Spirit.

As she felt closer to the Holy Spirit, her heart found immense peace.

This allows us to see the truth of what happened back then more clearly.

Who were those two towering, radiant figures? Why did they evoke such a unique feeling in her? It was as if she had been cradled in her parents' hands the moment she was born, a warmth she could never forget. It was like the contentment and fulfillment she felt when she was living a happy and fulfilling life in her hometown…

The confusion and the fire of revenge in her heart disappeared.

Instead, there is a clear understanding of reality and a fond nostalgia for the good old days.

It's like when a person faces joy and sorrow; joy is often fleeting and cannot last, while sorrow can persist until death.

The power of the Holy Spirit can help them face the happy scenes of the past and give them beautiful fantasies about the future, while suppressing their negative emotions.

This is the state the princess of the fallen kingdom is in at this moment. At the same time, the false memories implanted in her brain by the Time-Space Demon God Etelgar are being constantly broken down, and her true memories are awakening and returning.

The Holy Spirit casts a shadow over them, yet they remain completely unaware.

He had no time to care about the state of the princess of a fallen kingdom.

He only wanted to break Justice's seal and rescue the people as soon as possible.

Justice watched Gai Ying working hard, and he himself did not stop moving forward either.

They both shared the same belief, which led to the Holy Spirit power building a bridge between them.

This bridge allowed their light powers to communicate, giving Justice a temporary boost and recovery in strength.

"break!"

No need to use a shadow puppet to make a move.

Justice broke the seal himself.

With the breaking of this mirror seal, a chain reaction seemed to have begun.

Justice attacked in the direction of Gauss and the others.

The seal was shattered.
