Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

"Then will you disappear?" Pito asked.

“I don’t know. I can only try my best to suppress Lucifer’s will,” Uranus placed his hand, which was filled with light, on the baby’s forehead. “Don’t tell him about Lucifer unless he remembers it himself.”

Pito worriedly said, "What if when you 'remember' it, it's no longer him? What if you..."

“Then before that, I will find a suitable human host,” Uranus’s voice gradually faded, and the radiant figure became transparent: “He was innocently dragged into this. If it weren’t for him, I might already be trapped in the spatial passage by Lucifer.”

……

"The qualified human host you mentioned..." Kinoshita Kei stared at a piece of shards that had been cut away, inside which squatted a talking salted fish and a person in blue clothes.

The salted fish stared with its watery, dead fish eyes and said, "Uranus approves of you!"

The person in blue said, "The radiance emanating from you grows stronger every day."

He still couldn't remember who the salted fish and the blue-clothed man were. He stared intently at the blue ball of light floating out of his heart and suddenly said, "If you had just strangled me back then, wouldn't that have solved the problem once and for all?"

The ball of light floated up and down without echoing.

Perhaps the person inside is still there, or perhaps he has exhausted his spirit in the long-term tug-of-war "struggle".

Sometimes Ultraman are incomprehensible creatures. They have missions to fulfill, and they could simply stay put and run away if they can't handle it anymore. No one would blame them. But they insist on staying, even knowing that they will lose their lives because of it—just like Uranus didn't kill his own "new body" Lucifer on the spot eighteen years ago.

He chose to share his life with Mu Xiajing. The two powerful wills restrained each other, which in turn allowed the human soul to take the lead and manifest itself.

Just because Mu Xiajing shouted "Go Ultraman!", she accidentally sent out her life energy.

“Do you know that if you hadn’t strangled me, Lucifer might have woken up? Oh, he already is, and then even more people would have died because of it,” Kinoshita Kei said to the unresponsive, even more dazed blue ball of light. “Sometimes, necessary sacrifices are required, and I don’t mind.”

Kinoshita Kei didn't know whether he was truly "awakening" Uranus's power or actually taking away his already dwindling energy, which Uranus gave to him without complaint.

The difficult process is entirely understandable—because Uranus is deeply embroiled in his struggle with Lucifer and may not have much energy left to respond to him.

On the day he first transformed into a giant, he saw the shadow of Uranus in Lucifer's eyes. Does this mean that Uranus's will has been completely eroded and he has become a part of Lucifer?

"Uranus," controlled by Kinoshita Kei, was born, but the real Uranus...

He gazed intently into the radiance, hoping to glimpse a tiny shadow within, like the nascent soul sitting in the dantian of a cultivation novel—perhaps a miniature Uranus might be inside.

“We can’t change the players,” Kinoshita Kei said. “Gaia and Agul can’t be changed, and neither can you.”

outside world.

The two orbs of planetary light that were constantly approaching Lucifer stopped in their tracks. Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroshi didn't know if their anxious calls had worked.

The tug-of-war has turned from one-sided to evenly matched, with Lucifer unable to forcibly devour them, and the two human hosts temporarily unable to reclaim them.

The waters in the sea of ​​consciousness had completely shattered Kinoshita Kei's form, leaving only two orbs of blue light, one large and one small. The smaller orb was the one that had appeared earlier, while the larger orb popped out as Kinoshita Kei's head was cut open.

It was much more energetic than the smaller ones, hopping and leaping around in circles. The water that got close was ripped away by the blue light. Sometimes it would crash into the oncoming saw teeth, just like when Kinoshita Kei once charged through the entire Geo base with his iron head, and no amount of muscle-bound heroes could stop him even with RPGs.

From the sea of ​​consciousness to the command center, everything seemed to be at a stalemate.

"Zog!"

Lucifer's voice was not loud, but the "angel" outside, who had returned to silence, slowly raised his head.

“I need to ‘assimilate,’ so bring my ‘kin,’” he said. “You can do whatever you want, and you should pressure them as much as possible… until the box of the ‘Ruby’ is opened.”

Zog's laughter, seemingly layered and repeated multiple times, became a misty, ethereal woman's laugh. She whispered, "Want me to help you kill them?" Her pale finger pointed at the people restrained by the capture machine.

Lucifer wasn't worried about the current situation. Instead, he was concerned about the possible reactions of the two beams of light outside and the commotion inside when he dealt with Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya.

“Surround three and leave one open,” Lucifer said. “Go down and ‘play’ however you want. The activated ‘Ruby’ will provide me with power, so there’s no need to worry. Then bring my kind up.”

"Do you want it alive?"

"Only when they are dead can they be used by me."

He's about to die.

"So you have to deal with him in front of the Earthlings, otherwise why would the Earthlings be willing to activate the 'Red Jewel'?"

The "future humans" who overheard their conversation found it increasingly difficult to contain their chaotic thoughts. One of them, Bizom, exclaimed excitedly, "Didn't you say that the Earthlings here don't have the 'Ruby'?! You told us, who lost it, to attack the place where they have the 'Ruby'! It, it... 'Vanguard' SuT-00 took away the damaged half... You gave it to them?!"

Lucifer glanced at them coldly: "Ah, I almost forgot about you guys."

Zog raised his finger and turned it at a slight angle. Lightning, almost solidified into plasma, suddenly shot up and pierced straight from the heads of the Bizoms to their feet.

Lucifer withdrew his gaze, and Bizom's body turned into wisps of smoke. Only some smoke-like or misty things flew towards him and slowly merged into his body.

“These believers have lived for hundreds of years and are still so stupid. It’s better to replace them with new ones,” Lucifer snorted.

Having received some replenishment, Gaia and Agul's orbs of light began to slowly approach him again, and he saw the fine sweat on Takayama Gamu's forehead.

“Don’t struggle,” he said. “None of you three can do anything to me, and I will soon obtain new ‘kin’ as materials. Dark Lucifer has sent out countless clones. Tell me… if I turn them all into a part of me, will the original body be him or me?”

Outside the ship, a huge white shadow flew towards the black sun, her flowing white dress billowing in the steel jungle, which all bowed down to make way for her.

Earth.

As Aiba Yu watched Gob and Bats charge into the rain clouds, their ferocious, monstrous faces became messengers that tore through the darkness, bringing the first rays of dawn to the Ariel base and the entire ocean.

Life is always unpredictable. Among the letters he had not yet received, one of the Yabo people summarized it this way:

"I have always believed that showing kindness to others is like sowing tiny seeds. Even if some seeds cannot survive, many more will eventually blossom."

Chapter 191 Blazing Fire and Flowing Clouds (6K)

"what is that?"

Those watching on television saw a ray of light break through the clouds. Gob and Bats didn't even realize what was happening. They tore through the clouds, and the thick, low-hanging sky began with this piercing gap. The clouds dispersed, the rain stopped, and the fog vanished abruptly.

This is something they simply cannot do.

Reiko Yoshii stared blankly at the camera, and the director immediately handed the entire shot to the cameraman who was squatting on the rooftop.

The "angels" descending from the sky were not visible over Tokyo; only a pale, unrestrained radiance could be seen, driving away the dark clouds and rain. Sunlight shone wherever it passed, and the mother star once again gently embraced the earth. At the moment when the pillar of light connected heaven and earth, it was as if the air was filled with the fragrant scent of summer flowers.

"Has the giant returned?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Where are they?" someone asked.

The restoration of visibility provided the GUARD with favorable conditions for launching defensive operations, allowing them to calmly assess the "future human" fleet that had entered the atmosphere, where the scorching red particle barrier was far more conspicuous than traffic lights.

Although Nasiri proposed that "the area below the bow is a weak point," in practice, there were always discrepancies between the actual implementation and the theoretical design.

"Moving at such a high speed from this distance, there's simply no time to aim with that kind of precision!" The commander of the forward troops, well aware of the principles of commanding from the field, said: "Except for guided missiles, all you need to do is hit them!"

Even if they can't break through the defenses, the shockwave from the explosion can slow down the offensive and deflect the ships off course, at the very least getting them out of the city and into the sea!

The booming cannons rose into the air, trailing plumes of flame, like a surging tide or a shooting star. The commander returned to the vehicle; they planned to wait for the enemy's offensive to end before maneuvering towards the coast to extend their artillery fire after the fleet. The communications officer jogged up to the vehicle and slipped a hastily written note into his hand.

It was so noisy outside that even inside the car, they had to shout at the top of their lungs to hear anything. The communications officer didn't even take off his headphones, and both of them kept their mouths open to prevent their eardrums from rupturing.

"What?" He unfolded the note: "A message from the Space Division... Solid bullets are more effective against particle barriers than laser weapons..."

"What the hell are we waiting for! No need to argue with them about those laser tanks!" The commander ripped the communicator's headset off, grabbed his ear, and yelled, "Contact Geo Base! The more conventional ammunition the better! I don't want any of their precious new stuff! Get rid of the 'old stuff'!"

"Bring them all here, pack as many as you can!"

The Ariel base naturally received the same news as well; in fact, those with Alchemy Star members present were among the first to know.

"Tsutsumi, go find Captain Yoneda. Have the Peace ship carry the physical missiles to complete the Falcon Team's re-equipment." After confirming the locations of each XIG squad, Akio Ishimuro relayed the order like snowflakes across the radio waves.

"Captain Inari, the Cool Dragons will change their uniforms at the European branch. Chiba, you contact the ground crew."

"Hercules Team, in coordination with the Far East defense operations, is hereby granted full access to its tanks within the city. There is no need for hesitation. Further instructions and reports will be provided after the battle. The order is only one: Open fire at full speed!"

"Captain Kajio..."

After the crash, the three members of the Lightning team, who were gathered at the Geo base awaiting orders, grinned and pointed to the brand-new fighter jet behind them: "It's a work maintained by the father of 'Fighter,' so we have a great advantage."

Kyosuke Ranbashi, leaning on his cane, nodded to Akio Ishimuro on the screen as the designer of the Fighter fighter jet.

"Are you alright?" Akio Ishimuro asked.

“Kitada has a mild concussion and has already vomited,” Kajio Katsumi said, putting her arm around the team member who still looked a bit pale. “But you can’t find anyone else to drive it now, can you?”

"...Be careful, none of you have applied for any public holidays this year."

“Oh, that’s perfect for taking a long break during the holidays,” the three Lightning Team members said to their commander, their three heads huddled together in front of the screen, looking nothing like they were about to go to war. “Do you want us to bring back any local souvenirs?”

"We'll talk about it later." Akio Ishimuro finally smiled.

"We'll talk about it later!" Katsumi Kajio shouted. "Did you hear me?"

Kitada Yasushi was already walking towards his car. He pulled his helmet up tightly to clear his head: "I heard you. We'll talk about it later."

We absolutely must meet again, then enjoy a long vacation, away from these sweaty old men—whether it's going home or just relaxing, we need a sweet encounter. Local souvenirs? We'll think about it later!

……

Ariel Base.

At this moment, the sky is filled with the glow of dawn, and the brilliant light and shadow, in shades of crimson and purple, are painted on the metal shell of the steel.

The moment the sun rises is always enchanting, especially the warming air, which beckons people to relax.

The person who truly dispelled the dark clouds and torrential rain has arrived.

The pale light lingered in the clear sky, like the sun high in the sky.

Those were creatures that Ariel Base had never seen before. She only knew from the information Pastor had brought—there were only some images, and all other information was shrouded in mystery.

“It’s over a hundred meters tall,” Atsuko Sasaki said, looking up. “It really does look like an angel, an angel wearing a mask.”

"The Root of Destruction, Zog," Akio Ishimuro commanded, "Don't be fooled by her! All units, prepare for battle!"
