Ultraman: The Grim Reaper from Ancient Times

Chapter 157 A single strike pierces the multiverse! A gaze from other dimensions!
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Dark Zagi simply used Zagi Lightning to take the hit head-on.

They wanted to use a powerful attack to force Renn to retreat.

He ignited all the energy within his body, and the power that erupted instantly was even more terrifying than before.

boom!
He could feel the terrifying heat constantly evaporating his energy output.

But he possesses immense energy and can withstand it.

Soon, Zagi Lightning collided with the ashes of heaven and earth.

Boo!
The collision of the two energies caused the surrounding space to completely collapse, and even opened a spatial passage.

This spatial passage connects various times and spaces.

Looking over, Renn could vaguely see familiar figures fighting against ferocious monsters.

Those are Ultraman from other timelines.

……

On Earth in an unfamiliar time and space.

There were two enormous figures fighting.

One of them was Max.

As for the other figure, it was a ferocious monster.

This monster is very peculiar.

No matter what moves Max uses to attack him, he will imitate them and retaliate with the same moves.

Moreover, its attack power is several times that of Max.

Max was in agony.

I felt extremely frustrated.

But there was nothing they could do.

Max has been back in this universe for some time now.

Over the past period of time, he has also experienced one battle after another.

But not long ago, a peculiar object was discovered in a corner of the city.

On the surface, it is a white sphere, which looks like a giant cotton candy from a distance.

Humans on Earth do not know what this substance is.

However, such a large object is also a problem in the city.

So they decided to burn the object.

However, what they did not expect was that the incendiary bombs they fired did not completely incinerate the object.

The burned objects miraculously transformed into real living organisms.

He evolved.

He even absorbed the flames that burned him and transformed them into his own power.

And so it became a disaster for this city.

In the time that followed, no matter what kind of attack the Earth Defense Force used, the result was the same.

Not only did it not cause any real damage to the monster, it actually made it stronger.

At this crucial moment, Kaito Toma transforms into Max.

At the beginning, because the monster's basic stats were much lower than his, he was able to gain the upper hand.

But everything changed after he blasted the monster to pieces with a Maxium Beam.

Although the monster was smashed to pieces,

But it quickly repaired itself and even underwent a second evolution.

This evolution made him even stronger.

He was so powerful that Max could only be utterly defeated in his presence.

No matter what tricks Max used, he couldn't harm it; instead, it only made it stronger.

This monster is practically a bug in the universe.

shhhhhh...

Max threw out the head-mounted shuriken, which split into more than a dozen pieces, slicing wildly across the monster's body.

Unfortunately, it only broke through the defenses.

Moreover, the monster's injuries, after a slight twitch, recovered in an instant.

Not only that, he shook his body, and dozens of head darts flew out, frantically slashing towards Max.

Max's heart sank lower and lower.

The humans on Earth who watched this battle were also filled with despair.

Rumble!
Just then, a loud bang startled everyone.

The loud noise clearly came from the sky.

They looked up in surprise.

But to their surprise, the sky... had actually cracked open!
A huge hole appeared in the sky.

Not only Max, but even the monster in front of him was curiously observing what was happening in the hollow.

But it seemed to connect to another space-time.

In the opposite space-time, two figures could be vaguely seen facing each other from afar.

The two figures stood in the void.

One had a hideous skull mask on its face, while the other had bloodshot eyes and was covered in black and red stripes.

The figure wearing the hideous skull mask exuded a powerful aura, causing one to tremble involuntarily.

But surprisingly, the other party radiated a dazzling yet gentle light.

It's like a combination of a demon and an angel.

Very weird.

As for the black and red giant on the other side, it simply exuded an aura of evil.

An endless aura of darkness seemed to permeate the sky.

He looked rather disheveled at the moment, his body covered in scorch marks, as if he had been burned by some force.

"that is?"

Max was delighted to see this.

Although Renn was wearing a skull mask, he still recognized Renn's identity.

This is the captain-in-chief.

He believed that if the captain were here, he would definitely be able to deal with the monster.

at the same time.

DASH headquarters.

Captain Hijikata Shigeru, however, had a solemn expression on his face.

He was naturally incapable of distinguishing between friend and foe; he could only prepare for the worst.

This monster is currently giving them a huge headache.

If two more powerful enemies appear, then Earth may truly face its end.

"Go and request the mobilization of all the destructive weapons on our planet."

Shigeru Hijikata said to the robot Ellie, "If the situation becomes irreversible, we must concentrate all our destructive weapons to keep any potential new enemies away from Earth."

His judgment was very calm.

The monster's codename was Leaf Rot.

The opponent is someone even Ultraman Max couldn't defeat.

It remains a disaster for the Earth.

At times like these, they need to contain the disaster to the smallest possible extent so that the Earth may still have a chance to survive.

……

Other time and spacetime.

Something similar is happening right now.

For example, in an unfamiliar space-time, there is also an Earth.

Unlike other timelines, in this timeline, Earth, or rather the solar system, is experiencing a sunspot drift.

This has led to mutations in some life forms on Earth.

For example, an ant colony the size of an elephant.

Or a herd of tiny elephants that can fit in the palm of your hand.

The big becomes small, and the small becomes big.

Some organisms have evolved.

After some fungi evolved, they were even able to attach themselves to inorganic matter, thereby acquiring enormous bodies.

Just like the Earth Max lived on, the sky above this Earth has suddenly cracked open, revealing a massive spacetime rift.

The other end of the void is connected to the M78 universe.

"What is that?" HEART team headquarters.

Upon discovering this phenomenon, they reacted immediately and conducted a survey of the spacetime rift.

But after discovering the footage, everyone was incredulous.

"There's no mistake, it must be Ultraman."

"Neither of these Ultramen seems like a good guy."

Captain Gang Quanba shook his head and said.

Only Kagura Genki, a teammate standing to the side, remained silent.

Because at this moment he had already communicated with Neos within his body.

Yes, he is Neos's human form.

Previously, due to the drifting of sunspots, they encountered Zoffy, who brought Neos and others to this universe.

After observing the condition of this Earth, Zoffy arranged for Neos to undergo a super fusion with Kagura Genki, who was drifting in the universe.

"What? They're Ultraman from the Land of Light?" Hmm.
Kagura Genki exclaimed in surprise.

Neos's voice resounded within him:

No, the one with the mask on his face is from the Land of Light.

He is the captain of our Space Garrison, and the strongest warrior in the history of our Land of Light. He is a legend, a living legend.

Kagura Genki frowned: "Then who is that on the other side?"

[I'm not entirely sure, but they must be enemies of the Land of Light, right?]

Kagura nodded, seemingly understanding.

Neos was silent for a moment, then spoke again after a long while.

[Kagura, what kind of crisis might be brewing in the Land of Light? There are very few opponents in this universe who can warrant the Captain-Commander's intervention.]

So please allow me to be a little selfish.

If anything goes wrong, I think I'll return to the Land of Light ahead of schedule.

Kagura Genki nodded solemnly.

He knew that the Land of Light was Neos's hometown.

The other person also loves their hometown as much as they love this earth.

He couldn't selfishly force the other person to stay.

So in the end, he nodded and said, "Okay, if anything happens, you can go without worry."

"Even without your power, I will rely on my own strength to protect this Earth, because humanity cannot depend on your power forever."

……

Another space-time.

At this moment, a figure wearing training clothes is undergoing arduous special training.

His name is Asahi Katsuto.

Of course, he also has another identity: Zearth, a warrior from the Z95 Nebula!

He is also a prince of the Z95 Nebula.

Unlike his predecessors, his arrival on Earth was entirely accidental.

Moreover, although he possesses remarkable talent, he is actually still a novice when it comes to being a warrior.

Not only did they lack any combat experience, but they also failed to meet even the most basic combat skills.

He came to this Earth by accident.

This Earth is actually a parallel universe within the M78 universe.

Some things are very similar.

But there's something different.

For example, although this world has the history of the first generation, it does not have the history of the Ultra Brothers.

Therefore, as a fellow member of the Ultra race, he was recognized as a hero by Earth's humans as soon as he appeared.

This sense of responsibility and mission put him under immense pressure.

He had no choice but to step forward and face all sorts of enemies under the expectant gaze of all Earthlings.

But he was far too weak.

Moreover, it has obvious weaknesses.

For example, he has severe mysophobia.

Or rather, the entire Z95 Nebula possesses similar weaknesses.

Therefore, his battles on Earth were also quite comical.

However, it eventually stopped, and it formed a bond with the humans on this earth, gradually overcoming its weaknesses with the encouragement of its companions.

Not long ago, an alien devised a plan to invade Earth.

He then used advanced technology to create a robot similar to himself.

His name is Ultraman Shad.

As a mechanical weapon, its basic data far surpasses that of Zais.

Moreover, the other party showed no fear whatsoever.

In particular, his physical skills completely overwhelmed and even utterly defeated him.

The outcome of the battle was, of course, predictable.

His eyes turned red from the blow, and he forcibly deactivated his transformation.

He developed a psychological trauma after that, and even when faced with Shad's rampage in the city, he didn't have the courage to transform.

He observed the unusual changes in the sky.

The sky cracked open.

Two figures appeared at the other end of the void.

Zearth stared at the two figures, somewhat surprised: "Are they from the Ultra race?"

He immediately felt a surge of warmth and familiarity.

He had already overcome his psychological trauma and was diligently training to defeat Xia De.

He was isolated and helpless on this earth, and could only rely on himself.

This is also the best opportunity to hone his skills.

However, upon discovering the presence of warriors of the same Ultra race, his previously tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

If you have companions, why do you need to work hard on your own?
He even thought that he might be able to join forces with these two warriors of the Ultra race to help him defeat Ultraman Shad.

But before he could make a move...

The Ultraman Shad, who was wreaking havoc in the city, suddenly leaped into the sky.

It shot straight into the void in the sky.

Somewhere on Earth.

The Banzaan alien looked at the scene before him and immediately let out a cold laugh: "So that's why Zearth hasn't shown up yet?"

"So they went to seek help?"

During this period, after being traumatized by the beating, Zais never showed his face again.

This greatly angered the Banzaan aliens.

He created Ultraman Shad to defeat Zearth, proving to humanity that he possesses the power to rule the Earth.

But I never expected Zais to be so cowardly.

During this period, he subjected it to extreme ridicule.

Anyone with even a little bit of spirit would probably have jumped out long ago.

Tazaas seemed to have vanished into thin air, without even making a splash.

So when he saw a hole in the sky today, his first thought was that it might be reinforcements that Zais had brought.

They wanted to team up and gang up on Ultraman Shad.

The Banzaan aliens scoffed at this.

As for that guy Zaas, the helpers he found must be of the same level.

Previously, he controlled Ultraman Shad and easily defeated Zearth.

If they're all at that level, even if five or six more come, Ultraman Shad can handle them.

What's more, during this time he also kept kidnapping children from Earth.

Used to improve Ultraman Shad's base stats.

The current Ultraman Shad is vastly different from the one before.

They've become so much more powerful.

Therefore, he now has absolute confidence.

The moment he discovered the cavity, he didn't hesitate to control Ultraman Shad to jump inside.
