They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 457 Appearance
I made it...

Seeing this, Masaki Keigo took out the Spark Lens from his pocket and pressed the activation switch.

The light particle converter was activated, transforming his body into light.

Amidst the light, his body was elongated and reshaped, and cells and photons combined and arranged in an unprecedented way to construct a completely new form.

boom!
As the light faded, the flowing light seemed to take on a tangible form, coalescing into a majestic figure in the center of the battlefield.

Ultraman Impetus has arrived.

Time seemed to be paused at this moment.

"Wha...what?!"

Over the Night Raid team's communication channel came Captain Eisuke Kaku's incredulous exclamation, "Another...another Titan?!"

"Who...who is he? Is he an enemy, or an ally of Nexus?"

Kazuki Komon stared at the white giant, muttering to himself in disbelief.

Meanwhile, in front of the giant main screen at the "Predicted Location" located underground in Shinjuku, Kira Sawa, who had been calmly analyzing the battle situation, suddenly stood up.

"This is... a completely new energy waveform! It's entirely different from Ultraman Nexus's readings! There's no matching information in the database! Who is he? Where did he come from?!"

In an inconspicuous corner of the command room, Mitsuhiko Ishibori, who had been wearing a playful smile as if he had everything under control, froze completely.

Unexpected variables.

A completely unexpected variable that he had never anticipated!

On the battlefield, Masaki Keigo, or rather, Ultraman Impetus, remained oblivious to the commotion around him.

He simply turned his head to the side and nodded slightly to Nexus, who was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

Then, Faust on the other side moved and charged toward Impaler.

Faced with Faust rushing towards him, Impet did not choose to confront him head-on.

He slightly turned his body to the side, using the smallest angle and the most economical movement, allowing Faust's powerful claws to graz his breastplate, producing a series of ear-piercing metallic scraping sounds.

It's now.

In the instant that the opponent's attack missed, and his old strength was exhausted while new strength had not yet been generated, Impat's right arm, like a drawn blade, precisely slashed at Faust's elbow joint.

click!
Faust let out a muffled groan, his entire arm twisting and hanging down unnaturally.

Before it could react, Impat's attack unfolded like a whirlwind.

Chop, elbow strike, whip kick... every move he made was extremely simple, yet extremely ruthless.

Faust was completely on the defensive and being attacked.

Its ferocious attacks, which were enough to suppress Nexus, appeared clumsy and laughable in the face of Impat's fighting skills, unable to touch its opponent at all.

So strong...

As Jun Himeya, inside Nexus, gazed at the scene before him, a tidal wave of emotions surged within him.

This newly appeared white giant has reached the pinnacle of combat skills, like a martial arts master who has fought countless battles and used every bit of power to the fullest.

This is completely different from his instinctive fighting style.

"cut……"

In a corner of the command room, Mitsuhiko Ishibori let out a barely audible whisper, his eyes turning from astonishment to icy killing intent.

This white giant ruined the "script" he had carefully prepared for Jun Himeya.

He must be eliminated, immediately, right now!

"Gouroki, it's your turn. Bury that troublesome fellow, along with Nexus, in the darkness."

On the other side of the forest, a man in a black trench coat with a gloomy demeanor slowly raised his head.

He was none other than the vice-captain of the previous night raiding squad, Mizoroki Shinya. In his hand, a transformation device similar in appearance to the one used by Faust's human form, but with a more sinister design, had appeared at some point.

"learn."

He whispered something and raised the transformation device into the sky.

Boom——!
A dark energy, even larger and more malevolent than that that appeared when Faust appeared, shot into the sky, churning the night sky like boiling ink.

In the heart of that darkness, a brand new giant rose from the ground.

It was taller than Faust, its body a deep black and an ominous dark red, with hideous spikes on its shoulders like demon wings, and the energy core in its chest emitting a despairing dark purple light.

Dark Mephistopheles.

As soon as Mephisto appeared, he raised his hands without hesitation.

A dark energy far more concentrated and pure than Faust's spread wildly outwards from him like a tsunami.

"Dark Field!"

Om-!
Space let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, and all the light and color in the world were instantly stripped away.

The original forest park has disappeared, replaced by an oppressive space filled with endless darkness on all sides.

The air was filled with viscous negative energy, and the activity of light particles was suppressed to a minimum.

"Please lend me a hand, Jun Himeya!"

Just as darkness descended, a calm and steady voice suddenly rang out from the depths of Jun Himeya's mind.

Himeya Jun was suddenly taken aback.

That voice…it’s that white giant’s! How…how does he know my name?!

The thought exploded in his mind like a thunderclap, bringing a shock that even surpassed the moment Mephistopheles appeared.

The next moment, before he could think further, he saw Ultraman Impetus raise his right hand. Masaki Keigo then took out the Nexus badge and inserted it into the Spark Lens.

After reading Nexus's light quantum information, the light particle converter was restarted.

Phase Reversal

Om-!
A dazzling golden light burst forth from Impat's body. This light was completely different from his own power, and it contained a kind of fluctuation that Jun Himeya was all too familiar with—the light that belonged to Nexus!
Golden light, like a rising sun, forcefully tore open a patch of light in this dark realm.

The viscous, oppressive dark energy melted and reversed the moment it came into contact with this light, like ice and snow meeting fire, and was forcibly "purified" into pure light particles!
This is... Nexus's power?!
Seeing the changes around him, Jun Himeya instantly understood the other party's intentions.

He was telling himself in this way that the power of light was not completely ineffective in this dark realm!

"Uhhhhhh-!"

With a roar, Himeya Jun squeezed out the last of his remaining strength and suddenly raised his arms to the sky.

"Meta Field!"

The colorful light membrane spread rapidly outwards from Nexus, complementing the golden light emanating from Impat.

"Nani?!"

Dark Mephisto let out a cry of astonishment.

His prized dark domain began to tremble and collapse violently under the combined attack of these two beams of light.

The darkness was dispelled, and the space was reconstructed.

In just a few seconds, the oppressive dark space was completely transformed.

An eerie dark red sky, a crystallized, icy earth... This place has become the home ground of the giants of light!

The tide of battle turned in an instant.

"on!"

Masaki Keigo's thoughts entered Himeya Jun's mind once again.

Without needing to say more, Nexus had already set his sights on Faust. Filled with rage and a thirst for revenge, he transformed into a streak of silver light and charged forward.

Impat slowly turned to the tallest of the dark giants—Mephisto.

With the help of the Meta Realm, the two Giants of Light experienced a significant boost in both strength and speed.

Nexus reversed its previous slump and engaged Faust in a fierce battle, its fists and feet imbued with purifying power leaving charred wounds on Faust's body.

On the other hand, the battle between Impat and Mephisto was more like a contest of skill.

Mephistopheles' attacks were cunning and ruthless, each move aimed directly at vital points, but Inpart always managed to neutralize them with even more exquisite techniques and launch even more lethal counterattacks.

However, the scales of victory have not tipped completely.

The energy core in Nexus's chest was flashing at its maximum frequency, and his movements began to slow down.

The Meta-Domain boost ultimately couldn't compensate for his previous excessive energy consumption.

It must be resolved quickly!

At almost the same time, the two giants of light and the two giants of darkness made the same decision.

Nexus crossed his arms in front of his chest, gathering his last bit of strength!

"Cross-Ray Storm!"

Faust also struck a pose, crimson energy gathering between his arms!
"Dark Ray!"

On the other side, Impat held out his arms, and the diamond-shaped core on his chest shone brightly, with pure and powerful light energy being compressed and condensed in his palms.

【Impac Particle Cannon】!
Mephisto then formed an L-shape with his arms and unleashed his strongest finishing move!

"Mephisto Shot!"

Four beams of light, imbued with destructive power, tore through the crystallized earth and ripped through the dark red sky, colliding violently in the center of the battlefield!

The extreme clash between light and darkness did not produce a deafening explosion, but rather an eerie silence.

Space annihilated at the intersection of energies, and an ever-expanding black singularity devoured everything around it, whether light or darkness.

The Meta Realm could no longer withstand this power that exceeded its limits, and it cracked inch by inch like a shattered mirror.

boom--! ! !
When annihilation reached its critical point, the accumulated energy finally exploded completely. A massive mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and the violent energy shockwave leveled everything within a radius of several kilometers.

When the light faded, the shattered Meta Realm vanished completely.

The forest park has been reduced to scorched earth.

The figures of Dark Mephistopheles and Faust flickered a few times in the distorted space before reluctantly transforming into two streaks of black light and disappearing into the horizon.

Exhausted, Nexus could no longer maintain his giant form and transformed into two streaks of light, falling to the ground.

"Cough...cough..."

Himeya Jun knelt on the ground, coughing violently, each breath causing excruciating pain throughout his body.

He raised his head and looked at the man not far away who had also regained his human form.

The man was dressed in decent casual clothes, and apart from his slightly rapid breathing, there was almost no indication that he had just gone through a fierce battle.

He simply stood there quietly, his gaze calmly fixed on the direction where the dark giant had disappeared, as if deep in thought.

"who are you?"

With all his might, Himeya Jun finally asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.

The man turned around, his gaze falling on Jun Himeya.
“You can call me… Masaki Keigo…”
