Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

Should we kill these people?

Mizoroki Shinya's gaze lingered on Saijo Nagi.

Besides Kazuki Komon, Makoto Mizoroki also knew of another "suitable candidate" from Muchini, and that was the woman in front of him who was staring at him with indifferent eyes.

It's as if the days I spent as vice-captain and with my teammates never existed.

How wonderful! She also possesses the physique to withstand power, and can stand alongside me.

But she was clearly unwilling, as she felt she was no different from a monster in her eyes.

Goro Mujin thought for a moment, then slowly raised his hand.

Just when he thought he should cut everything off, a strange figure appeared in the dark realm.

The intense light energy tore through the air, and he narrowly avoided a fatal blow aimed at his heart.

"You created this space, didn't you?"

A voice somewhere between a teenager and a young adult.

The owner of the voice was wearing an orange coat, had soft, tousled hair, and looked slightly childish. He was staring solemnly at the core of the dark domain.

Chapter 81 So-called self-deception

"So...did the 'divine child' end up living happily with her people?"

"There's more to the story, but it seems there's no time to tell it."

The "demon" who was telling a story to the little girl looked up at the sky. Although it was obscured by clouds, it had already spotted the silver light that was coming after it.

The dark realm unfolded without any attempt to conceal itself, while the other party remained motionless, simply staring silently at him.

Samuel had actually arrived long ago, Muchini knew, and he had been hiding in the clouds, silently listening to this "story".

But Muchini no longer held the idea that "the other party would understand him." He especially wanted to laugh at himself for having just met "Lord Samuel" a while ago, fully expecting the other party to be tolerant of everything, but in reality, he was pouring his heart out to a parallel from another dimension.

How could the real Lord Samuel not support Muchini? He thought to himself, and urged the other party to stop hiding and come down quickly, unless he didn't care about the lives of these two humans.

The dark red sky obscured the clear color, and the silver flames became the only light. Komon Kazuki saw him slowly approaching. Muchini no longer greeted him like a believer. He paced back and forth, and the ground shook with each step of the "demon's" body.

He also incorporated the shrine into his space. Komon Kazuki was still bound to the pillar by invisible ropes and could not get away. He suspected that the dilapidated torii gate would collapse directly from the shaking.

Once he could clearly see the humanoid figure enveloped in silver flames, the "demon" grinned, baring his fangs, his laughter sounding like metal scraping against metal, making his ears ache.

"Isotope, do you think I did something wrong?"

Samuel was suddenly confronted by him

The change in attitude left him somewhat bewildered. He didn't know whether Beelzebub had devoured Muchini or Muchini had absorbed Beelzebub. The "Demon" no longer held Samuel in any reverence. He only cared about Samuel's attitude when they mentioned the "Sea Clan" during their last battle.

You're actually angry?

What right do you have to be angry?

He was just an alter ego who had acquired the original owner's memories. It's laughable that he thought he was Lord Samuel himself and was distracted by his attitude.

“My own people.” He pointed to the rosewood.

"The one who saved me." The claw slashed towards Komon Kazuki.

"Tell me, was it wrong of me to choose my people? Or is it wrong of me to do whatever I want?!" Muchini was still resentful. Did he, as the "son of the gods," have to be right to abandon his people?

How could that Earthling named Jun Sakuma abandon his own people? Since Jun Sakuma can't do it, don't judge Muchini's mistakes with a condescending attitude!

Only Lord Samuel has the right to make such a judgment; you, as his counterpart, are simply not qualified!

Although puzzled by Muchini's sudden change in attitude, Samuel was unaffected. In his consciousness space, he said to Jun Sakuma, "He has taken hostages, convinced that we cannot save both of them at the same time."

“This distance…” Jun Sakuma noticed that Kazuki Komon and Karin were not very close; one was under the torii gate, and the other was at the door of the house.

Upon seeing Sakuma Jun land, the "demon," whose emotions had become uncontrollably volatile, muttered again: "My people are stronger than those in the sea, and better able to survive in space. We worship the same god and have the same faith... Earthling! You now stand before me with the same choice, so come and judge me from your lofty position! Tell me—which side will you abandon?!"

Jun Sakuma shifted his gaze from Karin to the Night Raid team members who had been innocently dragged into the mess.

It was truly an unexpected disaster. Just because he had saved him and Huali, Muchini set his sights on him.

Muchini noticed the change in his gaze and sneered, "You choose him? Of course, of course. He's a 'suitable candidate,' young and capable, naturally more important than a child. This is only natural, just as my people are more useful; they are far superior to the sea people..."

"My teacher said that selfish people don't grow tall!"

The sound of the "devil" scraping his teeth, mixed with the innocent voice of a child, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Huali spoke with the harshest tone she could muster, even spitting at the guy if she could: "Whichever dad it is, hurry up and lock the bad guy up in the police station! It ate Mr. Elf, and it's trying to fool me with Mr. Elf's story! What are you choosing for? Come and teach the bad guy a lesson with your big brother!"

Muchini was stunned by her words that "Mr. Elf was eaten by it".

Taking this opportunity, Komon Kazuki finally bent his finger and hooked Beregg.

An explosion rang out between him and the invisible rope. He raised his hand, which was blistered from the intense heat. Beregg's firing port was destroyed due to close-range firing, but he could finally move one arm—and reach for his sidearm.

He didn't think he could quickly aim at the enemy's eyes in a very short time, and he wasn't sure if the pistol's firepower was enough to penetrate the defenses, so he chose the wooden door frame behind the rosewood.

Something that's been in disrepair for so long, a burst of fire feels like a hot knife ploughing through oil.

The pillar, to which the invisible rope rested, was teetering on the brink of collapse. Huali felt she could move again and quickly tried to break free.

Muchini instinctively raised his grappling hook to deal with the candidate, but Samuel was already positioned between him and Komon Kazuki.

"Qiang——!"

The crisp sound of sparks striking metal.

The giant's body was solid, and his warm, milky-white eyes were extremely close. Sparks ignited and fell before his eyes, shattering like twinkling stars in the night sky.

"You really didn't lay a hand on Karin."

Just in case, Samuel dropped his lightsaber and stood in front of Karin, while he charged toward the direction Muchini was likely to choose for his attack.

He was right; the person telling the story to Kaori gave up on targeting the children who were easier to get.

"You... your counterpart! Don't act like you know me so well!" Muchini kicked him away, and the whip crackled through the air as it came flying!

"Whether it's an identical body or the real one, you know in your heart."

Samuel dodged the attack, extended a whip of light from one hand, and wrapped it around Komon and Karin, placing them far away from the area.

The shrine was destroyed by the gusts of wind from Muchini's attack, leaving only broken bricks and tiles. Komon Kazuki held Karin's head tightly to prevent him from getting hurt, but Karin struggled to twist his body and break free from his grasp, opening his eyes wide to look at the battlefield.

"The Devil" and the Man of Light, Muchini and Samuel.

Former comrades-in-arms, now enemies.

One looks up from the ground, the other looks down from the air.

"I understand?" The fangs opened and closed, and the azure light fragments swept out at an even faster speed, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

Beelzebub's body visibly multiplied, his two heads turned into painful human faces, and thicker bone spurs extended outwards from his back. Perhaps wings should have grown from them, but what extended out were human arms—extremely thick fleshy palms with thin, webbed fingers. If you ignored the fingers, they looked more like the fins of a sea fish.

"Are you trying to say I'm deceiving myself?" Even Muchini's clear, gentle voice was gone, replaced by a hushed, chorus of voices.

A powerful, indistinguishable chorus. The sound was like a resounding bell. Karin plugged her ears, and Komon Kazuki helped her cover them as well, but she still felt her head buzzing and being shaken.

Beelzebub, some say, was once the sun god Baal in the Old Testament. When King Ahab asked Elijah, "Who brought disaster upon Israel?" Elijah replied, "It is you and your father's household, because you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and gone to follow Baal." However, in the New Testament, he has lost his divine status. The Pharisees believed that Jehovah used Beelzebub's power to cast out demons possessing people: "This man casts out demons only by the power of Beelzebub, the prince of demons!"

Some say he is the prime minister of hell, others say he is the emperor of hell. He is the bull, the ram, the king of flies, the embodiment of "gluttony."

Over time, supporters of various scriptures and doctrines have debated endlessly, but without exception, they all agree that he symbolizes calamity and is alienated from light. Even in records where he appears as the sun god Baal, his prophet becomes a sacrifice for Elijah to prove his correctness.

Today, the terms "son of God" and "Beelzebub," which seem to be contradictory, have been merged into one.

He roared, and the wind raged all around him.

“I have traversed countless worlds and traversed countless universes! I have never forgotten my duty as the ‘Child of God’ to protect Vitamori! Even if my body turns to dust, my wish… will never change!”

"I am not wrong! Even you, even you—cannot stop me!"

Chapter 82 Me in Your Eyes

The demon that corresponds to the sin of "gluttony" changes its appearance depending on the "feeding" situation. Now, having fed on a large number of humans, it has finally become a creature that is neither human nor ghost.

It was far more frightening than the previous demonic forms pieced together from animals.

The face on the left opens its mouth, and invisible sound waves spread out.

"It ate Bampira!" Jun Sakuma immediately thought of the casualty report from the Fourth Base.

Samuel threw a blasting light blade in the direction of Kazuki Komon and Karin, triggering it beforehand; the explosion disrupted the sound waves. Kazuki Komon carried Karin and ran further away. Beelzebub's situation was far more dangerous than that of ordinary alien beasts; he had to run far enough away, preferably to a place where even the sounds couldn't be heard.

The face on the right opened its dark, hollow eyes, which were empty of eyeballs. Two will-o'-the-wisps of light shone from their eye sockets, shooting out eerie green rays!

Samuel dodged to the side, but even though he had completely avoided it, a chilling cold still swept over him. It wasn't a heat that could burn everything, but a cold light that froze everything.

Beelzebub's central head remained unchanged, except that his molten lava pupils were replaced with those belonging to Muchini.

The color is sapphire blue, like the distant sea where the sky and water reflect each other.

Unlike the body that had been repaired before, the air it exhaled was now white, not because of the heat, but because of the extreme cold. The surrounding air immediately condensed, and a large number of droplets were suspended in the air. If it blew another breath, the droplets would turn into frost in mid-air, either floating quietly or colliding together and falling down.

The skin is still unstable. Occasionally, when walking, the imprints of faces or limbs will struggle underneath, but they are firmly sealed. Although they are propped up, they can never come out.

Even though he had seen many terrifying forms of alien beasts, Jun Sakuma couldn't help but feel nauseous when he saw this... creature with human faces densely covering its body approaching.

"help me--"

"Get me out of here!"

Not many days passed, but the owners of those faces retained their remaining will, throbbing within Beelzebub's body, eventually coalescing into a deafening roar that relentlessly battered the heart of Jun Sakuma, the policeman whose duty was to protect the citizens.
