The GUTS team, having received news of a monster's appearance, immediately set out.

Wuma Izumi and Masaki Keigo followed Captain Iruma Megumi into the command room.

In no time, the scene was projected onto the winning team's big screen.

P.S.: Requesting votes, rewards, and even blades (a metaphor for threats/crimes)???

Chapter 187 Ace

Kingdom of Light.

Many powerful civilizations exist in the universe, but few, if any, uphold the principles of peace and are willing to actively help the weak to advance their development. The Kingdom of Light in the M78 Nebula, however, is an exception.

Initially, the Land of Light was a civilization very similar to human civilization, and the life forms living there were almost indistinguishable from humans. However, one day, the sun of their star system suddenly went out. In order to survive, their scientists had to create an artificial sun, which is now known as the Plasma Spark.

The plasma sparks they created seemed to exceed their expectations. The light emanating from the plasma sparks granted them powerful and wondrous abilities, allowing them to evolve into unparalleled giants, each possessing immense and terrifying potential. After rigorous training, each of them would possess planet-destroying combat power.

Among them, the Ultra Brothers are the most famous.

The existence of the Plasma Spark Tower enabled all life on Earth to evolve into giants of light. Despite possessing this immense power, they did not lose their way and remained true to their original ideals, using this power to travel through the universe, helping the weak and annihilating evil.

How few are the kind and peaceful civilizations in the universe? Yet how many abide by the laws of the Dark Forest, with all sorts of villains emerging one after another. Even though the Land of Light has tried its best to fight them, it has been unable to clear the darkness from the entire universe.

However, the Land of Light still made a great contribution to cosmic peace, helping many civilizations that were on the verge of extinction.

Many of them have made a name for themselves, so that almost every civilization in the universe where the Kingdom of Light is located knows about it. The Kingdom of Light is a near-legendary civilization in their minds.

In the universe of Ultraman Tiga, which integrates different worldviews, it is a powerful empire that has never fallen or been lost, rather than a lost empire.

The Land of Light has a comprehensive grasp of the entire universe. All departments within the Land of Light are very dedicated to their duties, such as the Ultra Guard, the Land of Light Research Bureau, and the Space Security Agency. In order to monitor potential disasters in the universe at any time, they have established a comprehensive system of equipment to help them effectively combat darkness.

They will adopt a monitoring and observational approach to the impending darkness.

At this very moment, the Ultra Brothers are gathered in the tower at the top of the Land of Light.

The original Ultraman returned after a long period of duty away from home. He summoned the other Ultra Brothers who were busy elsewhere. Those who could return rushed back, while those who couldn't continue their work outside.

"First Generation, what is the reason for summoning us back?" Leo, as King Oo's bodyguard, was quite idle.

Who would protect the strongest superhero in the universe, Ultraman King? The Leo brothers are supposed to be his bodyguards, but they're really just helping out. When they encounter an insurmountable enemy, Ultraman King himself will naturally have to step in.

So, summoned by the first generation, Leo soon traveled from the King Planet to the Land of Light.

Leo's younger brother, Astra, remained by the side of Ultra King as his bodyguard. In his spare time, he would chat with the old man, but there wasn't much else for him to do. At most, the necessary training would take place on King Star.

Even when dark forces appear in the universe, the Leo brothers rarely intervene; the Land of Light usually handles their elimination. The Leo brothers' fearsome reputation is widespread throughout the universe, their cosmic fist techniques striking fear into the hearts of evil forces. However, after becoming the Ultra King's guards, they rarely operate on the front lines, only taking action when absolutely necessary.

As royalty of Nebula M77, Leo and Astra's status is clearly different from that of ordinary Ultramen. As remnants of Nebula M77, they joined the Land of Light. In the Land of Light, a position that is too high or too low is undesirable. Joining the Ultra Brothers is a good option, but putting them in charge of internal affairs seems inappropriate. Making them bodyguards of the King of Ultra seems like a perfect choice. They possess both strength and fame, and as royalty of Nebula M77, making them ideal bodyguards for the King of Ultra.

"Yes, I'm out there fighting the Super Beasts. After we destroyed Yapool's lair last time, the Super Beasts they left behind are still active. I've eliminated over a hundred Super Beasts these past few days. I estimate there are still some remnants active in various corners of the universe, waiting for me to wipe them out." Ace was full of passion. When it came to fighting off the remaining forces of Yapool, Ace was always the first to charge forward, it was his duty.

No one knows why Ace was so hostile towards Yapool. Perhaps it was because Ace was very clear about Yapool's cunning and the terrifying power of the Super Beasts, which were fearless of pain.

Taro stood with his arms crossed, wearing a red cloak personally bestowed upon him by the Land of Light, looking every bit the prince, quite imposing. This red cloak, seemingly just a cloak, actually contained quite a few hidden features, such as moisture protection, protection against fire and laser attacks from enemies, all of which could be blocked by the red cloak. It was developed by Hikari, the director of the Land of Light's Research Bureau.

Taro touched the small horn on his head and said, "It must be something important. If it wasn't something important, I don't think the First Generation would have gathered us together like this."

Jack and the other Ultra Brothers didn't say anything; they just stood silently to the side.

The first Ultraman glanced briefly at the Ultra Brothers present and said solemnly, "I should have told you about this earlier, but some other things happened along the way that required me to deal with them, so I didn't inform you immediately. Now that you're back, I feel it's necessary to tell you about this so that you know."

"What's all this fuss about? Could it be that the Aliens of Empera are about to attack the Land of Light?" Zoffy asked.

The First Generation shook his head and said, "No, but I think this matter is related to a dark being that is no weaker than the Emperor Alien, and it also involves Seven."

"Oh?" Leo became interested and said, "Tell me more. A dark being who is inferior to the newcomer Empera... Could it be that Seven went to fight against him first?"

"You could say that, but you can't say it entirely, because his resistance is different from what you understand as resistance." The First Generation shook his head slightly.

"Just tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense!" Ace was impatient, his impatient nature taking on the form of a king.

"Alright, after you've finished speaking, don't rush to take action. First, analyze the situation carefully and see what's really going on." Just as Seven had predicted, the First Generation explained to everyone that Seven and Wumaquan, the Dark Ruler, were of one mind.

In the mind of the first generation, the darkness of the Dark Ruler was no less than that of Alien Empera. Both were equally overwhelming and bottomless, like an abyss. When the first generation first saw them, he even thought he had met Alien Empera.

Especially after discovering that the Dark Ruler was comparable to Alien Empera and was one with Seven, alarm bells rang loudly in the mind of the First Generation.

....................

"What? A dark ruler comparable to the Aliens Empera?"

"Seven actually took such a risk by choosing to become one with him, are you kidding me?"

"Hiss... This is really a risky move."

"I never imagined that such powerful darkness existed in other universes. Our Land of Light absolutely cannot stand idly by."

"Should we go and provide support now?"

When the original Ultraman said this, it sparked discussion among the other Ultra Brothers. In their minds, it wasn't a good thing. Even Seven was well aware of this.

"What on earth is Seven thinking? This is an extremely dangerous situation. If anything goes wrong, Seven will pay with his life. He's lived so long and experienced so much; hasn't he even considered this?" Zoffy criticized. As the senior member of the security team, Captain Yantou, Zoffy naturally had the right to criticize.

The First Generation nodded and said, "Seven himself is well aware of this. He has discussed it with me, and I have witnessed it myself, which is why I dared to leave with peace of mind. At least I have some trust in him."

"The dark being who is one with Seven has a surprisingly good temperament. Unlike other common dark beings, he is not violent. His mentality is surprisingly good, even more human than humans."

"He is arguably the most benevolent dark being I have ever seen. I have no idea how someone with such terrifying dark power could have become like that."

"But at least this kind of concern and mindset is a good thing for us and for the people there."

"Without the use of force, mere verbal persuasion could greatly benefit the people there."

"Anyone who wants to invade Earth over there needs to consider the existence of that Dark Ruler."

"To be honest, I don't even think Seven can beat that Dark Ruler. The only reason Seven is still alive is because that Dark Ruler has no interest in Seven and hasn't made a move. Otherwise, Seven might not even be able to see me."

"..."

In one breath, the first Ultraman shared his thoughts with the Ultra Brothers.

The Ultra Brothers now look at him with disbelief, just like he did back then, thinking this is absurd, and some even want to take action to rescue Seven directly.

After all, the energy attribute used by a power user generally represents their inner thoughts. Darkness is evil. This seems particularly evident in the Ultraman universe. Those who use the power of light are unlikely to harm evil people...

However, Seven is already one with it, so breaking the bond would be difficult, especially since the other party is a dark ruler. If the other party doesn't agree, Seven might have a hard time breaking the bond.

Zoffy, the captain, fell into deep thought, while the Ultra Brothers beside him whispered amongst themselves. They had all, to varying degrees, chosen to be one with humans, but none had ever tried to be one with a dark being. They were already being generous by not attempting to destroy the dark being, let alone becoming one with it.

This is a first for Seven and a unique situation.

Zoffy glanced at the original. He knew the personalities of the original and Seven. Perhaps one could be manipulated, but it was impossible for both to be manipulated.

Zoffy said, "Then let's do as you say and trust you this once. But as you also said, the power of the Dark Ruler is too great. If it fails, it may endanger the whole world. At that time, Seven will not be able to resist it by himself."

"Yes." The First Generation nodded. He did not refute this point; on the contrary, he thought Zoffy was right.

“So what I’m thinking of is sending another Ultra Brother over,” Zoffy said. “As an observation, Seven’s close contact with the dark forces has made me worried that Seven’s galaxy might be distorted by the dark forces.”

"We might not be able to handle one Ultra Brother, but we can definitely handle two Ultra Brothers. If one of them falls, the other can send a message in time, and then we can get the details of the situation as soon as possible and rush over to provide support."

"So, I wonder if anyone here has the time to visit Earth where Seven lives?"

After Zoffy asked the question, he took the opportunity to glance at each of the Ultra Brothers.

After hearing Zoffy's words, many of the Ultra Brothers fell into thought, wondering if they had the time to go there.

The first generation thought that since they had finally returned from outside, they should definitely take a good vacation, but they didn't have time to go over.

Taro, however, was thinking that the Kingdom of Light's patrols couldn't do without him. He would need to patrol the Kingdom of Light and the surrounding star system again to prevent any fallen dark beings from invading it. It seemed he wouldn't have time to go.

The same applies to Jack and others.

Only Ace stepped forward without hesitation.

Ace said, "Why don't I go? The remaining batch of super beasts probably won't dare to show their faces for a while. If they do, I'll hunt them down. I happen to have some free time to go there."

Zoffy nodded: "This is a long battle, and it may take longer than you think. Are you prepared?"

Ace nodded: "I'm ready. Come on, what difficulties haven't I experienced? I've lived for so many years, I can still handle a long battle of attrition. As the saying goes, passion should never be extinguished..."

Ace once again expressed his opinion. Among the many Ultra Brothers, Ace's views have already circulated in many civilizations. This has caused many civilizations that have never met Ace to develop some interest in him; such a kind Ultraman must be incredibly gentle.

“Okay, then you can do it, Ace.” Zoffy nodded.

The previous candidates were confirmed immediately.

Afterwards, the Ultra Brothers had a brief discussion and then parted ways. They all had their own things to do, and their gathering was only due to the emergency summons from the original Ultraman. In fact, most of the time they were busy with their own jobs and rarely met up unless there was a meeting or conference to attend.

The passage to another universe is not easy to open.

Before the Ultra Brothers departed, they combined their powers to receive energy from the Plasma Spark Tower, opening a tunnel to another universe so that Ace could travel there.

The First Generation watched Ace's departing figure.

"Ace's gone. Just in case, we still need to keep an eye on those Super Beasts. I wonder where the Yapools have gone. Although Ace said they'd wiped them out, I have a feeling that with a Yapool plot, the monsters won't be so easily exterminated. Maybe they're hiding some kind of base somewhere," the First Ultra muttered to himself. Perhaps it was because he had done something similar before, forcing the entire Baltan race to relocate on a large scale. Afterwards, rumors even circulated in the universe that he had single-handedly annihilated the Baltan race. This terrified many civilizations, who feared angering him, feared angering the Land of Light.

Some even offered their clever ideas directly to the Land of Light. The Land of Light then returned them intact, telling them that the Land of Light was not the evil kingdom they imagined, but an upright and righteous ideal kingdom that many civilizations aspired to.

This civilization refused to believe the Land of Light's explanation, clinging to its own cleverness and arguing that their offerings were inferior to those valued by the Land of Light. They then intensified their search for valuable items to offer to the Land of Light, causing considerable distress for the Land of Light.

................

................

Earth.

Regardless of the current state of the Land of Light, the situation on Earth remains the same. The invasion of the cosmic life form Sphia has resulted in its possession of Durban, greatly increasing Durban's strength and making him more ruthless, attacking people everywhere. Although Durban's original attack power is not strong, after being possessed by Sphia, his attack power has become exceptionally powerful, and his size has even increased several times compared to before, although he is still not as large as a typical monster.

After receiving the message, TPC quickly launched an attack, but due to ongoing upgrades to their fighter jets, the number of aircraft they could deploy was quite limited. Normally, they would only deploy two aircraft at a time.

This time, two Victory Flying Swallow No. 1s were deployed, while the Victory Flying Swallow No. 2s were all undergoing modifications and there were no spares available for sorties.

P.S.: Six thousand words... oh my god, I feel like I can't finish writing it, I simply can't finish it???

Chapter 188 I've Changed

After Durban was possessed by Sfiaso, he wreaked havoc on the surrounding area, leaving behind red chairs, streetlights, broken glass, wrecked vehicles... almost everything that could be destroyed was ruined.

Its size, several times larger than that of a human, even if not as large as a monster, is still incredibly impressive.

Miriko Sato and the police officers who arrived late worked together to guide people to the evacuation. The circus members were reluctant to leave, considering Durban as their family. However, the controlled Durban did not recognize them. He attacked them without hesitation, even breaking one of the circus ringmaster's legs.

The circus ringmaster was in so much pain that he grimaced. He was then pulled and dragged away by several circus members. They tried to call out to him, hoping to wake Durban, but Durban, controlled by Sphia, couldn't easily break free and continued to unleash beams of light, destroying the surroundings without any reaction.
