Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor

After a sustained beating, Katsuma Ikuta had Onoda temporarily hold off the three, while he used his spatial abilities to successfully escape from the other dimension.

"You just wait, once I gain superhuman power, I will absolutely annihilate you all!" Katsuma Ikuta cursed.

He struggled to his feet, his entire body covered in whip marks, not a single part of him was unharmed.

When he transforms into Shadow Ultraman, the damage he suffers will also be reflected in him.

Unlike him, Onoda has more boxing scars on his body.

After cursing for a bit, Katsuma Ikuta also felt tired and couldn't help but sigh.

This operation can be described as a near failure.

Not only did they gain nothing, they also suffered significant losses.

However, he didn't gain nothing; at least he learned about the hidden power.

On the surface, there are Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Nara, and Ultraman Nexus.

There are three dark giants lurking in the shadows, along with the robot that has only appeared once.

It can be said that human strength has increased significantly.

On the other hand, they only had him and Onoda, and their combined strength was not even comparable to that of Ultraman Tiga alone.

More importantly, Onoda and he were only superficially friendly.

Don't be fooled by his obedience to my orders; it's only because he's been coerced by that wretched woman, Xuena, using her information.

He only has one more chance to command him now.

Besides him, there was only one other person in the known darkness.

And this person was that same shrewish old woman who didn't get along with him.

Sigh! I'm so sad!

Why did I, as the villain, fail so miserably?!

What exactly went wrong?

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

He couldn't help but look down at the ground, his expression shifting.

"There's actually a monster hiding here, hehe, this is truly a stroke of luck!" A slight smile appeared on his lips, and a plan was already forming in his mind.

He smiled and said to Onoda, "This is the last thing. After you defeat this monster, turn it into a card, and then give me the Dark Ring. I will then tell you about Xena!"

Onoda paused, then looked at him and asked, "You mean what you say!?"

Katsuma Ikuta's smile became even more genuine.

"I may be a bit dark-skinned, but as you know, you're not of much use to me, so why would I lie to you!"

"Alright, I'll do this one last thing for you!"

As he spoke, he took out a ring, which was enveloped by a surge of energy, enabling him to use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique).

As Katsuma Ikuta watched Onoda disappear, the sincerity on his face gradually faded, turning into a hint of mockery.

"Hmph... From the moment you fused with the Sphere of Darkness, you were destined to become my food."

He never intended to let him go.

Underground.

Onoda quickly reached the underground magma and saw a monster that looked like an upside-down leek.

As a reporter, he recognized the monster at a glance!

"Golza, who escaped, I never expected you to be hiding here, and even absorbing the power of magma to enhance your strength!"

Now that he is also a bearer of darkness, he can naturally see what Golza is doing.

However, he did not act immediately. Instead, he looked up and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

For some reason, he discovered that the darkness within him did not lower his IQ or change his personality.

The changes weren't that significant at all.

He is still himself, except that he has gained extraordinary abilities.

"Looks like he's about to make a move on me!"

Although Onoda didn't hear his last words, he never forgot them.

The expression Katsuma Ikuta gave him when he successfully mastered the darkness.

That was the feeling of wanting to wash him clean and devour him alive.

Although he quickly suppressed the situation, as a reporter, he saw the whole story clearly.

He turned to face Golza and used his hidden ability.

[Spiritual Communication]

This is an ability that he automatically awakened after obtaining the Dark Sphere, allowing him to communicate telepathically with living beings.

Its functionality is far superior to telepathy.

Because it also has a certain degree of coercive effect.

It can make creatures without intelligence, or monsters with low intelligence, obey its commands.

The premise is that this creature does not have any resistance or hatred towards you.

Katsuma Ikuta, on the ground, didn't have to wait long before he sensed the battle fluctuations underground. The corners of his mouth, which were already twitching, curled up slightly again.

'Very well, fight to your heart's content, then you'll all be mine!'

In his eyes, Onoda transformed into Gagari, using a barrier to envelop Golza.

Although he couldn't see through the specific situation inside the barrier, he knew without a doubt that the battle inside was intense.

Three minutes later, Onoda dragged his tired body back to Katsuma Ikuta.

He held a card in his hand, looking somewhat weak and pale.

The dark energy within his body was also somewhat chaotic.

His arm looked like it had been injured; he had been holding onto the arm ever since he appeared.

The longing in Katsuma Ikuta's eyes was almost palpable.

He was too lazy to pretend anymore, and with a wave of his hand, a wall of darkness enveloped the area where they were.

"You're not pretending anymore!?" Onoda wasn't too surprised. He stared coldly at Ikuta Katsuma and asked.

Katsuma Ikuta shrugged. "I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table!"

"I just want to eat you!"

Upon hearing this, Onoda's expression returned to calm. With a flick of his wrist, a peculiar power emanated from the card in his hand, quickly enveloping his dark barrier.

Katsuma Ikuta frowned slightly; this development seemed to be quite different from what he had expected!

"Do you want to rebel? That's what makes it interesting!"

"The most interesting part is yet to come!"

The next moment, he transformed back into Ga Ga Di!

He slapped the spot where Ikuta Katsuma was standing.

Katsuma Ikuta dodged away from his original position and appeared in another direction.

He pulled on the transformation device with both hands and immediately transformed into Shadow Ultraman.

"Before enjoying the delicious food, you can also experience the joy of hands-on activity. That's great!"

As he spoke, he immediately rushed forward and threw a punch at Ga Gadi's chest.

Unexpectedly, Onoda neither dodged nor evaded, but directly took the attack head-on.

His purpose in doing so was to control Katsuma Ikuta's body.

Despite the pain of being punched, he shouted wildly, his eyes blazing, "Now!"

"Nani!?"

In the instant that Ikuta Katsuma turned cold, a scorching flame shot up from the ground.

"Are you crazy!" Katsuma Ikuta shouted, his face turning pale.

The flames were aimed at them!

In other words, in order to injure him, Onoda managed to control him while simultaneously letting the flames strike them.

This is a suicidal fighting style!

What a lunatic.

Didn't he realize that while doing so might hurt himself, it would also inevitably result in serious injury?

If things continue like this, he'll die even faster.

Onoda held Ikuta Katsuma tightly and said coldly, "I don't know if I'm crazy or not, but I know I must make you die!"
