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

Lypia's explanation is still late, and even the good-natured Shinji wants to complain about it now.

Why couldn't you have said so sooner?!

"What's wrong? Give it your all! If the hero isn't performing well enough, the boss won't be intimidating enough."

Tsugumi chuckled mockingly, clearly indicating that he hadn't used his full strength just now.

After all, he never had the necessity or intention to defeat his own saint. Defeat was necessary, and punishment was necessary, but killing the Giant of Light?

No, no, no, he would never kill a kind person!

Even if he is my enemy, I can defeat him or repel him, but I will never kill him if I can avoid it.

Under the illumination of the sun's starlight, Shinji took several seconds to catch his breath and recover, and this time he planned to use his ultimate move.

Specium Ray!

The beams of light converged in an instant, and only the moment they were released did Lipia, as if suddenly noticing, issue a warning.

"No, this Zetton also possesses a high-energy matter system! Shinji, get out of the way!!!"

This warning wasn't completely belated at least.

The instant the Specium was launched, Shinji dodged to the side without hesitation.

Sure enough, the next moment his Specium was completely absorbed by the barrier in front of Hyper Zetton and then transformed into a beam of light that was multiplied and sent back!

boom!!!

The amplified Specium swept across the lunar wreckage in an instant, like a dump truck crushing a small electric scooter, turning the white moon that Adam had ridden to Earth into dust in the blink of an eye!

The dazzling beam of light disappeared into the depths of the universe.

Shinji looked at the disappearing light with lingering fear. He felt that if he hadn't dodged it, that blow would have been enough to knock him out of the game!

"You can't use beams against Zetton!" Lipia concluded with a truism.

Shinji remained silent, then gathered eight-tenths of a halo in his hand, asking a question before making his move.

"Ultraman-san, is this alright?"

Lipia didn't answer, so Shinji Ikari threw out the Eight-Point Light Wheel.

The serrated, swirling friction, seemingly capable of disintegrating everything, flew towards Hyper Zetton's body, and then—was easily deflected by the barrier.

The attack failed once again.

It seems that Shinji's only option left is hand-to-hand combat.

"Are you ready?" Tsugumi asked kindly, looking at Shinji who was getting ready.

To be honest, Tsugumi never thought she would lose.

Firstly, although Shinji fought hard against him, he still lacked a sense of killing intent, because Tsugumi didn't have any killing intent or even malice towards him.

Secondly, Tsurugi isn't exactly a pure villain.

Even though he's ruthless, his starting point and purpose are still to help Ultraman get revenge. He wouldn't be eliminated as a boss even if he doesn't make it into the main cast.

As for the so-called "idealistic burst," it's unclear whether more people on the ground believe in him or support the Giant of Light. Even if he did burst, there would be no earth-shattering explosion!

Moreover, there are no oil drums, and Tsurugi even has a backup hidden energy source compared to him—ha, there's no suspense at all!

Under Tsugumi's watchful gaze, Shinji slowly lowered his hand. Just as Tsugumi raised an eyebrow, thinking he was about to give up, suddenly, the voice switched to Lipia's.

"Please stop fighting," Lipia said sternly.

"A powerful being from outer space, the catastrophe facing humanity in this world is imminent."

"...Isn't the disaster you saw me?" Tsugumi raised an eyebrow.

"No, the disaster I foresaw did not come from you... although the biological weapon you have become is just as terrifying, and your punishment of humanity is cruel enough."

Lipia, possessing Shinji Ikari's body, looked into the distance, then suddenly lowered her hands and said softly.

“But compared to the judgment from our home planet, your punishment is insignificant. And now… He has come.”

A sudden gaze shot out from behind Dongjiang.

On the road to godhood, you must kill, kill, kill! :283. The plan to eliminate Ultraman was devised by Zoffy!

Suddenly, Tsurugi felt a chilling gaze fixed on him from behind!

He turned his head sharply, and not far away, a giant of light, almost identical to Lipia but with dark gold markings, was silently watching him.

There it was, staring at him like a ghost!

...Ultraman? No, it's not. The appearance is similar, but it definitely doesn't feel like Ultraman!

"Just as I predicted, Zoffy, he really did come!"

Lipia said solemnly and with difficulty.

"Wait a minute, isn't the disaster you foresaw me?" Tsurugi couldn't help but ask.

"...As a planetary observer on the Star of Light, I don't actually possess the ability to foresee the future," Lipia said softly.

"So what you saw wasn't actually me... wait?"

"Star of Light? Aren't you from the Land of Light?" Tsugumi's eyes widened, her face showing utter disbelief.

What the heck? Seeing your saintly and compassionate attitude, I thought you came from the world of children's tokusatsu!

And now you're telling me you come from the worldview of that scoundrel?

Oh, that makes sense. It's quite reasonable for an author to create connections within a single world.

Bullshit! If I had known you had someone backing you up for revenge, why would I have been the one to stick my neck out?

The Star of Light and the Land of Light may seem like they're the same thing despite the slight difference in their names, but they are two completely different worlds with different ways of doing things and different settings!

"Lypia, I've finally found you."

The dark golden giant, Zoffy shifted his gaze from Tsugumi to Lipia, and spoke in a cold, mechanical voice.

"I've come to take you back to the Star of Light. Why did you suddenly leave and then appear in this universe? And why did you merge with a human? You..."

407

Do you like humans that much?

"These are questions you must answer once you return to your home planet!"

“But now…” Zoffy’s gaze shifted to the blue planet below, and he said coldly.

"The Earthlings in this universe also have the potential to become biological weapons. They are too dangerous and already pose a threat to the safety of the universe."

"And they must pay the price for illegally imprisoning, attacking, and torturing the citizens of the Star of Light!"

Oh huo

Dongjiang raised an eyebrow; things were getting interesting.

This Star of Light differs from the conventional Land of Light in the M78 Nebula. Although it remains a maintainer of cosmic order, the Star of Light holds a more aloof and distant position.

Or rather, their setting is highly similar to the Cosmic Court of Gauss, the Delacion, which is the ultimate victor in the multiverse war and the strongest nation in the universe. The Star of Light, existing in the higher sixth dimension, is the judge who stands at the highest point to judge and manage the laws of the universe.

Their cold attitude is completely different from the love for humanity shown by the usual Ultraman and the absolute justice stance unique to children's programs. It is truly based on 'equality' from the perspective of the highest civilization.

The rules they spearheaded after the cosmic war prohibited the use of weapons of mass destruction on any planet in the universe, but allowed the use of biologically modified weapons for small-scale wars.

In the story of Zoffy and Lipia's arrival, it was because they discovered that humans possessed excellent bioweapon modification potential and extremely low cloning costs, and even the potential to be modified into beings similar to those on their planet of light, that Zoffy, following the orders of the planet of light, brought the celestial suppression weapon Zetton to Earth in order to prevent this biological resource from being misused in war by cosmic races like Mefilas, which would disrupt the cosmic order once again.

Faced with Earthlings who could potentially threaten the cosmic order as biological weapons, and alien civilizations that have discovered their value, spread their fame throughout the universe, and continue to invade, their choices are completely opposite to those of Ultraman in the world of tokusatsu dramas.

In the normal tokusatsu world, Ultraman would not hesitate to stay on Earth to protect humanity and fight against the endless stream of aliens and monsters, until those aliens dare not invade Earth again in the short term.

The Star of Light's judgment is—

Why should I guard a swarm of ants that can mutate into 1.8-meter-tall ants and fight off thieves one by one instead of just blowing up the anthill?

Rather than constantly risking that all these ants will grow larger and threaten the ecological environment, burning them all to death in one fire is the most rational and efficient approach.

So Zoffy brought two lives into existence: himself and Zetton.

Zoffy devised the plan to eliminate Ultraman! (Seriously?)

The Star of Light plans to completely destroy one-five-hundredth of the Milky Way's space within two hundred light-years, including Earth, in order to achieve the most efficient and thorough cleanup.

As they claim, there are a total of 15 billion life forms in a universe according to their records, and eliminating one would have no impact on the universe itself. On the contrary, leaving them alive would create a greater, uncontrollable threat.

As for your question about why the Star of Light can use Zetton, a weapon of mass destruction that is explicitly prohibited in their cosmic laws, we can only say that the rules are set by them, and who can say that Zetton is not a biological weapon?

Actually, you know what, the weaponization of Earth's organisms is a topic that's quite prevalent in serious dramas. Leaving aside the Heisei and Reiwa eras, even in the Showa era, the constant emergence of local monsters and aliens who could easily capture Earth plants or whatever they wanted and transform them into monsters shows that Earth's ecological environment is indeed quite complex.

Efficient, ruthless, and cruel, the attitude of the Star of Light is so extreme that even the Land of Light watching the drama would feel ashamed. Belial would think you are too extreme.

And now, what has Earth done to Lipia, a member of the Star of Light?

Not only did they steal the opponent's power, but they also successfully applied it! Furthermore, they subjected their citizens and ambassadors to a series of activities including imprisonment, torture, and dissection!

If in Lipia's previous world, punishing humans was merely a means to maintain order under the rule of the Star of Light, and humans themselves hadn't committed any major crimes—at most, they were just weeds crushed by dump trucks—then the humans of this world are both a threat and have committed grave offenses!

To draw an analogy, it's like a primitive tribe capturing an ambassador or citizen of a powerful nation, subjecting them to all sorts of abuse and torture, and then brazenly wearing their clothes and taking their belongings. This is something no powerful nation in the world could tolerate!

As if to echo Zoffy's words at that moment, a huge shadow was cast over Earth's orbit.

In an instant, darkness obscured the sun and enveloped the earth.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep~~~

The same strange sound effect as Hyper Zetton, which changes with the Tsurugi River, propagates in the vacuum of the solar system.

What appeared on the track was a completely gigantic, cross-shaped machine.

While its external structure may still reveal the outline of Zetton, its interior is a complete extermination weapon.

—What exactly is that giant saying?

After the initial shock, people on Earth panicked, got up, screamed in fear, and then cursed!

How could he do this?!

Why did they declare their demise without giving them any choice, any chance to make amends, or even caring whether they were involved?

He was even worse than Dongjiang! Although this deity's punishment was unreasonable, it at least gave them the possibility of atonement and gave innocent people a chance to be protected.

Tsugumi wants them to be happy, Zoffy wants them to die!
