Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

Well, even Tsurugi herself finds this complicated description a headache.

He only needs to know a little bit.

The Crimson King's power is enough to allow him to summon the evil forces that oppose the Giant of Light!

Among the many fundamental forces of evil, the one he chose and could temporarily use was the one corresponding to Lipia, or rather, Ultraman.

Intervening in the keyword "Zetton", what ultimately emerges is the Hyper Zetton before us!

The reason why it cannot become the true cosmic evil god Hyper Zetton, who is the opposite of Saga, is simply because the limit of the negative fundamental force that the giant of light in front of it can correspond to as a positive fundamental force is also just this limit.

But that's enough.

At least this Hyper Zetton is powerful enough.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep~~~

Strange sounds echoed in the void, and Shinji Ikari felt a suffocating pressure as he faced the monster that looked like a black longhorn beetle!

"Be careful, Shinji," Lipia thought to herself.

"This is a cosmic bio-weapon called 'Zeton,' and it's incredibly powerful! Although it's not the same Zetton I know, it's still very strong!"

Without Lipia needing to say more, Shinji Ikari himself felt a heavy, oppressive feeling that made it hard to breathe.

"Hehehehe." Tsurugi's cheerful, low laughter echoed in the air.

"When I was little, I had the same dream as all the other boys. One day, a monster suddenly appeared outside the school and destroyed the school. Then, amidst the panic of my classmates, I calmly walked into the classroom, took out my transformation device, and shouted that I had become Ultraman."

He seemed to have plenty of time and leisure, slowly telling his story here.

"But as I get older, I know I'll never be one."

"Child!" Unexpectedly, Tsurugi wasn't angry; instead, she laughed heartily, praising him and nodding with satisfaction.

"You have followed your own path, which may not have been paved by me, but isn't it also the right path for you?"

Shinji Ikari was stunned for a moment, and then a feeling he couldn't quite describe—whether it was happiness and embarrassment, sadness and guilt, or a sense of pride in being recognized by his father— welled up inside him.

To love other things more than one's love for the Lord is the sin of desire. Yet Tsuruga never denied this, after all, his starting point was also the sin of desire.

He has always followed the path he believes is right, regardless of the outcome. And now, the first saint he chose, even when facing the Holy Spirit of his faith, has made the choice he believes is right—to become his enemy!

How can this not be something to be happy about? How can it not be something to praise?

But, one thing is one thing!

Praise aside, there are some things that Dongjiang will not let go of!

“You are a child I am proud of. I will be leaving soon, but before I leave…” Tsurugi’s voice became low, or rather, frighteningly, his voice no longer came from the body in front of him.

Instead, it seems to come from every place, endlessly, from every corner.

A crimson light instantly robbed everyone of their senses. Within this blinding light, all life felt a pain, hatred, fear, and the incongruity of the arrival of an extraordinary being!

It is a savage hatred of modernity, a memory of a lost world, an irreconcilable anomaly, an entity created by overwhelming tension!

All people, all life, regardless of language, transcending words, knowledge, and even wisdom, have the name of this entity deeply imprinted in the depths of their memory and soul—

The Crimson King (Khahrahk)

But this feeling was only fleeting; this transcendent being was simply unable to descend upon this place! Or rather, even it itself, at this moment, was completely unable to control this essential existence.

Dongjiang cannot wield force, but he can wield power.

Therefore, he merely used this power to bring to this place a concept that embodies its destructive nature and is opposed to the Giant of Light in terms of story driving force.

As the light faded, Shinji Ikari sensed that Lipia's nerves were on edge, and he even felt a sense of fear emanating from this fearless being!

"Watch out, Shinji! That thing is..."

"Let me teach you a lesson: a proper ending to a story must be accompanied by a fitting battle!"

Beep beep beep beep beep beep~~~

Standing in the void of space amidst a strange, electronic-like sound was a pitch-black object.

Its outline was pure black, as if light had been broken and crashed around it, like the end of light. Its arms, like curved scythes, were drawn back to its chest, and a pair of enormous wings slowly opened and closed behind it, like the flapping of a butterfly from hell. The wing membranes glowed with a scorching dark red, like extinguished embers, or like wounds that would never heal.

But the most striking feature was its "face"—mouthless and noseless, with only a vertical gaping hole, a pair of enormous amber-colored cross-shaped structures, and black horns like those of a longhorn beetle atop its head. Its eyes were cold and transparent, reflecting the destruction of the city, but without a trace of reflection, only emptiness, and within that emptiness burning a yellowish-orange hunger.

Space Dinosaur Hyper Zetton!

On the road to godhood, you must kill, kill, kill! : 282. Hyper Zetton vs. Ultraman Lipia

Beep beep beep beep beep beep~~~

In the pitch-black universe, in the absolute depths of space, standing before the giant of light is a creature called Hyper Zetton!

The moment it arrived, amidst the horrified cries of the people of Earth, darkness enveloped the entire world!

In another universe, it is known as the God of Destruction and the Evil God of Annihilation. It once devoured the life of an entire universe before it was born!

However—Tsugumi obviously didn't really become that Hyper Zetton.

The Hyper Zetton he summoned was merely a projection, not even the special individual that Saga had defeated.

But why does Tsugumi possess the power to summon such a monster?

This is entirely due to his Crimson King skills; having collected three marks, he can now briefly use the Crimson King's demonic form.

However, his current power only allows him to summon his true form into a bubble-like world from that unseen higher dimension for three seconds.

All he did was use the power of the Crimson King once in those three seconds.

As his true demonic nature, Tsugumi has a certain grasp of the power of the Crimson King, and the source of this power comes from the ultimate malice of a higher narrative.

He represents opposing forces, embodies the 'ultimate boss behind the scenes' and the 'driving force of negative plot,' and is one of the fundamental forces driving the narrative forward.

This ability can amplify any kind of evil, thereby acquiring the corresponding character's personality and power. Chaos, disorder, anti-rationality, and anti-authoritarianism are the sources of its ability.

In short, for Tsugumi, who was using this power for the first time, this ability was very simple.

The power of the 'opposite'.

Extracting the corresponding aspect from the story of the corresponding character in the corresponding world, as long as it is related to it, can summon the opposing force.

Every story contains both positive and negative symbols. They each represent a part of the 'fundamental force' that drives the story.

Good is a fundamental force, and so is evil. To give an analogy, in the EVA story that Tsugumi intervened in, Shinji Ikari, who became the Titan of Light, represents the fundamental force of good, while the evil Titan that SEELE transformed into represents the fundamental force of evil.

They are omnipresent, driving the story forward. No story can be driven by only one side, because there is conflict to create a story, and development to ensure its continuation. This has nothing to do with human good or evil, but only with the narrative itself.

Well, even Tsurugi herself finds this complicated description a headache.

He only needs to know a little bit.

The Crimson King's power is enough to allow him to summon the evil forces that oppose the Giant of Light!

Among the many fundamental forces of evil, the one he chose and could temporarily use was the one corresponding to Lipia, or rather, Ultraman.

Strange sounds echoed in the void, and Shinji Ikari felt a suffocating pressure as he faced the monster that looked like a black longhorn beetle!

"Be careful, Shinji," Lipia thought to herself.

"This is a cosmic bio-weapon called 'Zeton,' and it's incredibly powerful! Although it's not the same Zetton I know, it's still very strong!"

Without Lipia needing to say more, Shinji Ikari himself felt a heavy, oppressive feeling that made it hard to breathe.

"But as I get older, I know I'll never be one."

He's a giant of light. After all, I don't have any boundless love for people.

"Towards others, I always want to punish their evil more than reward their good!"

"This may also be a kind of love, but I think this kind of love really makes me unable to be a qualified lover."

Although the conversation was conducted in a casual, leisurely manner, Shinji Ikari felt the pressure on his mind and thoughts growing increasingly intense.

His breathing became rapid, causing the Giant of Light himself to tremble slightly, and Lypia himself was unable to calm this instinctive shudder.

After all, even he himself was not capable of doing so.

"But I think becoming a monster would be pretty cool, at least it'd be stylish. It's a shame you're not Orb or anything, otherwise I might have gotten a Dark Ring for free..."

Tsugumi's words abruptly stopped, and the next moment, with a distortion of space, he vanished from his spot!

The sudden attack from behind struck Shinji squarely in the ribs, even though he instinctively tried to defend himself!

Amidst the scattering of sparks and light particles, Shinji Ikari, who was blasted onto the shattered moon, was in a state of utter confusion!

"Be careful, this Zetton has the ability to teleport—"

Kopp from Lipia arrived late, and Shinji immediately used his AT Field technique to create a barrier of light around himself.

Facing Hyper Zetton, which was slowly swinging its arms in front of him, Shinji focused all his attention on defense.

Then the weakest point of his back barrier was instantly shattered!

The Hyper Zettons in front of them did not disappear, but launched an attack simultaneously. One after the other, the attacks of the two Hyper Zettons hit the Titan at the same time!

Guaah!!!

With double the attack and damage, Shinji Ikari's vision went black, and as he launched his counterattack, Hyper Zetton had already teleported away!

He looked at the two Hyper Zettons in front of him, one of which vanished like a phantom.

"—It also has the ability to create a mimicry of a real body."
