Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 262 Ultimate Dark Warrior
That verdant planet shone with its final and most dazzling light in the universe.

The ultimate explosion was not destruction, but a grand liberation. When the alien beast was completely wiped out, the planetary will that had been suppressed by it for countless years declared its freedom in a tragic way.

A terrifying torrent of energy and gravitational ripples swept across the entire galaxy like a storm, instantly tearing apart the surrounding asteroid belt. Even the orbits of several barren planets in the distance were visibly deviated from their intended paths.

Nine giants of light floated silently in the void, watching this most extreme spectacle of life and death in the universe.

"Seven-nii-san, are you alright?" Mebius flew to Seven's side with concern and supported his still somewhat weak body.

Seven slowly shook his head, his eyes reflecting the slowly dissipating nebula, his gaze filled with complex emotions.

He said nothing, but everyone felt the weight of his silence.

"I followed the unusual spatial fluctuations to the planet Anu."

After a moment, Seven finally spoke, his voice hoarse and tired, "After dealing with a few low-level alien beasts, I detected a strong life force and a... faint distress signal."

He looked at the remnants of the nebula and continued, "The signal originated here. I thought it was from survivors, so I rushed over immediately. When I landed, all I saw were those innocent and harmless plant lives, and the vibrant life of this planet."

"But by the time I was ready to investigate further, it was too late."

Seven's fist clenched involuntarily. "The entire planet was alive. It used those plant-like people as a disguise and the planet's own life force as bait. By the time I realized what was happening, I was already entangled by countless vines, and my energy was being constantly drained. In the end, I could only use all my strength to unleash the Ultra Sign."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Even a seasoned and powerful warrior like Seven could fall into a trap unintentionally; the cunning and unpredictability of these alien beasts had exceeded their imagination.

They are too smart.

"We can't delay any longer."

Zoffy's voice broke the silence, his tone more serious than ever before: "Although this sector is temporarily isolated by Bruton's fourth-dimensional energy, it has ultimately been incorporated into our universe. Alien beasts can evolve, and every minute we waste here, they may evolve even more troublesome abilities."

The crisis is far from over.

"understand!"

Without needing to say anything more, the nine Ultramen exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

The next second, nine streaks of light of different colors once again pierced the silent universe, rushing headlong towards different galaxies.

The crackdown must continue.

Lin Yu had lost track of time.

He didn't know how long he had been fighting in this unfamiliar star sector.

There is no day or night in the universe, only eternal battles and traversals.

Instead of partnering with Camilla, he traveled alone from one planet to another, like the most efficient scavenger, sweeping away the cosmic debris known as "Alien Beasts."

He once descended upon an icy planet covered by perpetual blizzards, where alien beasts had evolved perfect resistance to the cold. They had become one with the ice and snow, like white reapers, hunting the last intelligent creatures on the planet called "snow apes."

Lin Yu didn't say much, but silently switched Tiga to its powerful form and used the Derashum Light Stream to melt the entire ice field, along with the monster's lair hidden below, into scalding steam.

He had also ventured into a cosmic graveyard composed of abandoned warships and mechanical wreckage. There, alien beasts devoured metal, transforming their bodies into semi-mechanical, semi-biological killing machines. Their sole pleasure was torturing and slaughtering the interstellar scavengers who eked out a living hiding among the wreckage.

Lin Yu looked at the aliens who had become numb in their despair and even started killing each other for a piece of energy battery, and just sighed softly.

Then, a beam of Zepelion swept across, obliterating the monster lurking in the chaotic ruins and bringing complete peace.

He witnessed too much.

There is a despicable aspect to humanity: driven to utter madness in despair, pushing companions toward monsters, all for the sake of surviving just one more second.

Then he chose to reverse time in this region, witnessing the ugly people being judged a thousand times over, and saving everything. There were also those who, even in the face of the apocalypse, chose to ignite themselves, using their faint light to illuminate the path for those who came after, radiating the brilliance of humanity.

The darkness and brilliance of humanity are vividly displayed in this star sector ravaged by alien beasts.

Lin Yu's heart, too, grew colder and harder during this long period of killing and witnessing.

He no longer had any extra feelings or extra pity.

Discover, lock down, purify.

His movements became increasingly concise, efficient, and also increasingly... indifferent.

Finally, after clearing out countless planets, Lin Yu arrived at a desolate, dark region.

This is the end of this forcibly incorporated sector, and also the edge of the M78 universe.

Before him was an invisible yet clearly perceptible, intangible "wall".

On this side of the wall lies deathly silence and nothingness.

Beyond the wall lies another universe, a universe filled with savagery, devouring, and endless malice, a universe belonging to alien beasts.

Lin Yu slowly raised his hand, his fingers gently stroking the cold yet solid cosmic barrier.

His movements were gentle, but his eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent and an uncontrollable desire.

He wanted to go there.

He wanted to rush into that dark universe and completely eradicate the "cosmic plague" that was still multiplying and spreading from its source.

Kill them all.

Leave no one behind.

Once this thought arises, it's like a wildfire that can never be extinguished.

A figure bathed in endless carnage is reflected on the smooth cosmic barrier.

That wasn't the familiar composite form of red, purple, and silver.

Instead, it was a pure, profound, dark figure that seemed capable of devouring all light.

Lin Yu stared in stunned silence at his reflection in the wall.

Dark Tiga...

when?
Lin Yu fell silent.

He looked down at his dark palms, feeling the power within him that was completely different from the power of light, yet equally powerful, and even more violent.

No wonder.

No wonder he felt he was getting better and better at fighting. No matter how those alien beasts evolved or mutated, they were as fragile as paper in front of him, utterly vulnerable.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already switched to the form of Dark Tiga.

Fight magic with magic?
No, this is simply using darkness to crush darkness.

Lin Yu's lips twitched violently, feeling that he was about to lose his composure.

I'm even darker than the alien beasts!
