Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Looking at the "being" that had transformed back into human form, Gen Subaru murmured to himself:

"What a strange thing, it can even reflect my pure white light back."

"It's not a rebound, it's a reversal of time."

Ultraman Tiga said with a solemn expression:

"This thing has a huge problem. Its manipulation of time is incredibly precise, to the point of being almost illogical. Although I have some research on spacetime, I simply cannot achieve what it does, and..."

Ultraman Tiga carefully recalled everything that had just happened, his expression turning grim, and he said softly:

"I can't interfere with his actions either, this... is indeed a bit beyond my capabilities."

To be honest, Tiga does think he's pretty versatile, but sometimes he finds himself in an awkward situation where the enemy can't kill him and he can't do anything about the enemy. Like the rule-breaking trap he encountered before, Tiga could have easily made it his home, but breaking out of it was extremely difficult.

Ugh, honestly, I hate you guys who have no sense of martial ethics.

Tiga shook his arm helplessly. Although he also knew time-based skills, he needed to prepare for the attack. Judging from the 'being's' movements, he was probably already hit by the attack and thrown somewhere by the time he cast the spell.

"I... don't have a very deep relationship with time."

Listening to Tiga's words, Subaru Gen was also somewhat troubled. His research on time had only just begun, and to find a way to interrupt this 'being's' spellcasting process, it seemed more reliable to gamble directly on Nexus's adaptability to spacetime...

"By the way, senior, it seems we've been thinking in the wrong direction."

At that moment, Yuan Mao seemed to remember something, looked at the flickering green sparks, and said in a deep voice:

"We don't need to fight him to the death; our goal is that green spark."

"That's true, but... I think this guy might use time reversal to restore things..."

Seeing that the 'being' didn't seem to intend to attack them for the time being, Tiga whispered to Subaru, but before he could finish, he thought for a moment and said softly:

"Give it a try, I'll hold off this weirdo for now, you deal with the Azure Spark!"

"Alright, senior, 3, 2, 1!"

As the countdown ended, Subaru and Tiga transformed into two streaks of light and rushed forward. The 'being' immediately met them, but Tiga immediately accelerated again, blocking the crossbow formed by the creature's arm and preventing it from attacking Subaru. Subaru, on the other hand, charged forward without looking back. He believed that his senior Tiga would do everything in his power to protect him, so all he could see now were the flickering green sparks.

What he needed to do next was to take out the bow and arrow he had just acquired and, before the blessing of the ancient warrior's light had completely dissipated, deliver another powerful arrow to this guy!

Yuan Mao charged up quickly. Even though no one was there to help him draw the bow this time, the pure white light arrow was formed again as he recklessly poured in energy. With a roar from Yuan Mao, it rushed towards the flickering green sparks. Under the attack that was greatly amplified by the [Amplification] technique, the light arrow hit the target accurately and exploded in a terrifying energy clash.

but....

Just as Tiga predicted, the time-reversal ability of "existence" preserved the Azure Spark. Ironically, it's quite ironic that a creation that distorts the rules is immortal under those rules.

Upon seeing this, Gen Subaru unceremoniously turned his longbow around, locked onto the location of the 'being,' and fired another arrow with all his might. Since you are the guardian of the Azure Spark, then you should die first!

The beam of light drew a beautiful straight line through the universe, inevitably hitting that 'being'. The surrounding area was engulfed by dazzling white light, and an unprecedented explosion occurred at its center.

Tiga, who had evacuated the area beforehand, shook his head. Without Subaru's buff, fighting this 'being' would be quite difficult. Speaking of which...

Um.....

Just as Tiga was about to confirm whether that 'being' had been killed in the explosion, his expression changed slightly as he released his senses. He looked at Subaru, who was exhausted from unleashing his ultimate attack, and shouted:

“There are countless of them—we are surrounded!”

"What!?"

Yuan Mao was stunned for a moment. Without the help of the light of the ancient warrior, he realized that drawing the bow not only consumed his energy but also his psychic power. Therefore, the somewhat absent-minded child did not notice the changes around him immediately. He looked around and found countless fist-sized worm-like bodies with the same texture as "existence".

Could it survive even when it's reduced to fragments?!

The moment the thought flashed through Gen Subaru's mind, the writhing "beings" simultaneously shone with white light, unleashing a chain of massive explosions. Gen Subaru had no time to dodge and was swept into an explosion of the same size as the attack skill he had just unleashed.

However, no pain came to Gen Subaru. At the same time, Tiga, who teleported in front of Gen Subaru, also did not feel any pain. Tiga looked up in surprise and saw a blue ring appear above him. Gen Subaru, who was controlling the ring, was slightly twisting his body.

"Time? Hmph, it's not exactly a very solid thing."

As the figure in front of him filled his vision, the first thing he saw was himself—no, his own body reflected in the "being" that had returned to human form.

Although the lifeless body could not sense any thoughts as before, "existence" still wanted to kill Gen Subaru and Tiga. It spread its body out like a cloth, trying to wrap the two of them inside.

Tiga's first thought was to grab Subaru and run away as fast as possible, at least to distance himself from this strange enemy. But when he reached out, he grabbed nothing. Subaru used his spacetime power to teleport Tiga to a distance.

Meanwhile, Gen Subaru gathered the power of the [Spark Legend], compressing and adjusting it. The child's eyes, reflecting his own 'existence,' were filled with madness.

"Come on, turn back time for me. Let me see how you're going to rewind after 'time' has been blown up..."

"Didn't you promise me you wouldn't use this trick lightly?"

Before Gen Subaru could finish speaking, a helpless voice rang in his ears, and a golden hole appeared on Nexus's chest. Clearly, Gen Subaru's [Super Dimensional Ultra Bomb High Explosion] had alerted the gatekeeper of the Time Waterfall to the risk of time fracture, causing him to turn his gaze back to Gen Subaru.

At the same time, the gatekeeper also sensed something. Through the golden void, he looked at the 'being' on the other side, his voice pausing slightly before he said somewhat guiltily:

"No wonder it was so easy for me to find you this time. Could it be that you were forced to use such a dangerous bomb? Now I understand. For someone who hasn't yet mastered the power of space and time, dealing with my body is indeed a bit difficult for you."

"Huh? This is your body?"

Yuan Mao never expected that the body the gatekeeper had casually mentioned was actually this. The gatekeeper coughed awkwardly twice and said softly:

"Um... my body can actually be affected and even controlled by something else. This is... this is a bit strange. Well, come on, accept my power, temporarily control the power of time, and seal my body away. Um, if possible, please use your power to purify the core of my body while you're at it..."

Hearing the gatekeeper's increasingly hesitant words, Gen Subaru didn't say much, just smiled helplessly, nodded, and agreed. In that instant, a golden waterfall of time fell from nowhere, bathing Gen Subaru in it. Then, Nexus looked at the restless 'being' and opened its arms towards it.

The "existence" seemed to want to resist, and began to spin again, twisting its body into a donut shape, rotating back and forth in clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

However, as Subaru continued to inject power, the rotation speed of the "existence" that was gradually enveloped into a golden sphere by the power of the Time Waterfall gradually slowed down and eventually stopped completely.

Then, under the guidance of the gatekeeper, Gen Subaru began to repeatedly make movements as if he were manipulating a distant ball of light. The ball of light gradually shrank as Gen Subaru moved, eventually becoming about the size of a child's head.

Gen Subaru beckoned, and the orb of light slowly flew towards him, eventually stopping in front of Nexus. Looking at the sphere within the orb, smaller than the orb itself, Gen Subaru poured pure white light into it, purifying the green contamination completely. He then returned it to the gatekeeper, hesitated for a moment, and softly said:

"Senior Gatekeeper, how should I put it? Once we find the right method, you seem quite easy to deal with."

"That's right, I'm an easy person to deal with."

The gatekeeper looked at his own body. Although it was unusable for the time being, at least it was back. Looking at the child in front of him, who had been quite exhausted by his own body, his tone softened considerably, and he said softly:

"As long as you can borrow the power of the Time Waterfall, as its gatekeeper, there's nothing I can do. Alright, kids over there, come here too. I'll give you... something?!"

The gatekeeper was about to use the power of time to heal Subaru and Tiga's injuries, but before he could finish speaking, he sensed something and turned back sharply to shout. However, he was immediately forcibly expelled from this plane. It wasn't that his power was crushed, but the distorted rules did not allow the Waterfall of Time to linger there.

What caused all these changes was the record book that appeared in the world after the Azure Spark lost its power of 'existence' and collapsed, triggering all the Azure disasters in the universe. If Noah were here, he would call it by name: "Yesterday's Talk," a record of the past written by the present primordial essence.

Subaru and Tiga did not know the origin of this creation. They only knew that after this thing appeared, an extremely oppressive sense of crisis enveloped their hearts. However, something helped Tiga break free from the unknown fear. Although he did not know about the 'love and hate' between the green energy and the pure white light, he had clearly realized in the battle just now that these two energies were completely incompatible.

Now....

This deadly notebook appeared, carrying with it a cyan-green energy that made one's scalp tingle just by looking at it. Even if Tiga thought with Darram's toes, he would know that if this thing were to clash with Subaru, the child's pure white light would be no match. Subaru would be like a small boat in the ocean, capsized and sunk to the bottom of the sea by a single wave, never to see the light of day again.

Before this, Tiga had never thought of avoiding war. Over millions of years, he had earned a fearsome reputation, which was why he had the leisure to relax today. But now, this battle was absolutely out of the question. He had to get Subaru away from here as soon as possible and get as far away from this strange notebook as possible.

If he had realized beforehand how dangerous this thing was and how incompatible it was with the pure white light, he would never have brought this child into this kind of fight!

But Subaru didn't leave with Tiga. He used brute force to pry Tiga's hand off him and looked at the shining notebook, saying:

"Senior, my destiny has arrived."

Yes, it's fate. He survived because of the conflict between the pure white light and the green energy. Now, looking at this strange notebook and feeling the pure white light boiling uncontrollably within his body, Yuan Mao clearly realizes that he has to pay his debt. He has to pay the debt for living four more years. In the face of this 'debt,' he doesn't even have a chance to run away. His body, urged on by the pure white light, will not expose his back to the enemy.

"Senior Tiga, may I entrust TLT Earth to you?"

As Minamoto no Subaru drew his longbow again, he said in a reluctant tone:

"We don't need to take care of them for too long, a hundred years is enough. Compared to their long lifespans, a hundred years shouldn't be a long time..."

However, Tiga could no longer hear these words. When Subaru voluntarily lit up with pure white light, the "Yesterday's Talk" erupted with a terrifying wave. Tiga, caught off guard, was unexpectedly sent to an unknown place by the distorted rules.

But Genma didn't stop talking. He held the bowstring tightly and continued to pour energy into it.

"Grandma Sakura...."

The light arrow shines even brighter

"Mr. Matsunaga...."

The body is a little darker

"Mr. Mizuta..."

The bowstring is stretched out one inch.

"Captain Kazura..."

With each call, images of the past flashed through Gen Subaru's mind. The child was immersed in beautiful memories, while his body, his energy, and his mental power were all transformed into arrows aimed at his death.

Subaru, now only a faint afterimage remaining, regained his senses. Looking at the arrow of light, which was now as bright as a notebook, he smiled faintly, then his expression turned serious, his eyes revealing an unprecedented ferocity, and he released the bowstring.

This is the final [Arrow Beam - Storm]!

197 Gatekeeper: You've been buffed, hurry up!

A pure white arrow of light shot out, illuminating the entire star field in an instant. The anomalies caused by "Yesterday's Talk" were completely erased. Faced with such killing intent, the notebook also began to react.

But before the green energy within could cause any trouble, a golden waterfall cascaded down from the sky, and a silver, faceless figure emerged from it. Time began to flow backward, the flying light arrows were gradually pushed back, and the vanished figure reappeared. As for the restless green energy, it was suppressed by the endless river of time.

Although this thing is indeed very powerful, the power of time is not a force that can be easily shaken.

"Senior Gatekeeper?"

Having been saved by the time reversal, Minamoto no Subaru stared in astonishment at the silver humanoid figure beside him. After a moment's thought, he said softly:

"Senior, won't your actions break the rules you're upholding?"
