Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Ugh, I'm still disgusted. Suddenly I don't want to help them anymore. Hmm... Oh well, my mother-in-law said to see things through to the end. I've already started doing it myself, so I'll just leave it at that for now.

While Genma was on his way, the remaining survivors felt that their companion's behavior was quite rude. They mustered their courage and ran out, wanting to say something and explain. But before they could speak, Genma's clone had finished dealing with the disaster, and used light energy to repair some facilities that could still be salvaged. Then it left and returned to where its main body was.

only....

After Genjiro's clone left, on a distant planet, a sneaky fellow emerged from his hiding place. It was an old acquaintance of Genjiro's, Hitram, who had been half-paralyzed by a light blade bomb from Genjiro. The dark giant looked at the dissipating golden figure with trepidation.

Thankfully... thankfully I ran fast enough...

Hitram sat weakly on the rock, still shaken. He had been enjoying a delicious meal on Lyshuria when a strange aura suddenly appeared outside the planet. Although the aura wasn't directed at Lyshuria, once bitten, twice shy. Hitram immediately abandoned the remaining Lyshurian desserts and ran away as fast as he could.

Then he actually saw the golden Nexus appear. Hitram felt as if he had been reborn, and at the same time he couldn't help but curse in his heart, "That persistent ghost! How many tens of thousands of years have passed? How can I still run into him? I just got freed from the seal, and you jump out. What, are you planning to avenge Yousa Lei?!"

hateful!

hateful!

Damn it... why are my legs still so weak...?

230 King Ao: I'm going to find someone.

As for that planet Lyshuria, Hitram would never go there. Back on Earth, the power that guy left behind allowed Yusa Rei to transform into a giant and fight against the Dark Giants. That woman was incredibly reckless, causing the Dark Giants' second attempt to seize the [Eternal Core] to fail once again.

Now that Lyshuria has received his help, another giant might be born there. Hitram would never risk such a misfortune. There are so many planets in this universe; there's no need for him to fight Lyshuria to the death.

I'm off, I'm off. My legs aren't weak anymore, time to go somewhere else for some 'snacks' to get back into shape.

This little episode about Planet Lishuria didn't attract much attention from Subaru. His focus was still on Noah Grizabah, who now sensed that even with the distortion of primal energy, the guy's mana bar was almost empty.

Gen Subaru, wielding his lightsaber, had already caught his 'little tail' four times, with the intervals between each catch getting shorter and shorter. This long-running manhunt across time and space was finally coming to an end.

However, we cannot let our guard down yet. Yuan Mao still remembers that because of the previous [Notebook], a lot of primordial energy was dissipated in the spacetime interlayer, blocking a considerable area of ​​spacetime force. He was lucky that Noah Greiza was unable to find the relevant space to replenish himself, otherwise, the trouble would have been quite big.

Subaru's good fortune was rare enough to last until he captured Noah Greza and used the "Cosmic Needle" to corner him. He did not encounter any space contaminated by primal energy to replenish the lifeless thing's energy.

Therefore, Noah Greza did not struggle for long in front of Gen Subaru before meeting his end. After all, special attacks are more important than anything else, and this saying applies everywhere.

call....

call....

call....

Watching Noah Greeza completely vanish into thin air, and the primal energy on his body disappear as well, Gen Subaru couldn't help but let out a few long breaths. This long pursuit was finally over. How should I put it, Senior Noah, I completely understand you now. Your decisiveness in killing is not a big problem.

But then again, where am I right now?

Gen Subaru let out a breath and looked around curiously. To be honest, he had been so busy chasing Noah Grizza that he hadn't paid much attention to the places he had passed by, so he was a little lost at the moment.

However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed a rather astonishing energy fluctuation. Gen Subaru frowned and moved closer to that direction. He saw an energy entity that resembled the sun, but whose reaction was much stronger than that of the sun, undergoing a very violent energy reaction.

Without a doubt, that thing is about to explode. If we had to find a metaphor for its power, we could only compare it to the Plasma Spark Tower or the Cascade Energy Tower. Just imagine how terrifying it would be if those two things were to explode.

At this very moment, around the energy source, countless people are using various means to escape, but compared to them, the abilities of these aliens are truly pathetic. Although their technological level is quite respectable, it seems particularly pitiful under the impending terrifying explosion.

........

There's no other way, let me help you.

Although those aliens were not from Earth, their numbers were considerable. Since he had nothing else to do and they hadn't disgusted him yet, following Granny Sakura's teachings, Minamoto no Subaru didn't hesitate for long before activating the remaining power of [Unification], allowing the [Eternal·Original] form to once again release a dazzling dark golden light.

At that moment, all the fleeing aliens saw a beam of light rush from outside the galaxy toward the energy source on the verge of exploding. As the light spread, a dark golden energy shield gently enveloped the dangerous energy source and guided it to another location.

but....

"That's too late."

One of the aliens looked at the readings on the spaceship's instruments, closed his eyes, and uttered a sound of despair. Then, an extremely violent explosion, rare even in the entire galaxy, was triggered by that energy source, and the surrounding galaxies were reduced to nothingness as a result.

Most of the cosmic beings who escaped perished in the horrific explosion. Only those who escaped quickly and were on the edge of the blast radius managed to survive the immense shockwave.

This... is unbelievable...

The surviving aliens stared blankly at the scene behind them. They never imagined that the light that had once given them hope would one day become the 'killer' that destroyed their home and killed their people!

After surviving this catastrophe and regaining their senses from the terror of death, the surviving humans in the universe couldn't help but weep bitterly, both to celebrate their survival and to mourn their departed family and friends.

"Wait, look outside!"

Just then, someone spoke first, and all the aliens turned to look outside. They saw dreamlike bubbles appear outside their escape ship, which caused the already frightened aliens to stir in fear.

But immediately, the bubbles burst, and a series of familiar escape ships appeared out of thin air in front of them. Although not all of them, there was no doubt that a large number of their people had survived. And the one who created this miracle was the dark golden giant figure floating behind the escape ships.

"Hello."

Seeing this, the alien with a voice among this race of aliens stepped forward. Using the devices on their escape ship, they first emitted a medium outwards, and then turned on a megaphone, attempting to communicate with the dark golden giant:

"We're from An... Wait, where are you? Um... Hello?"

Before they could finish speaking, the cosmic beings saw the dark golden giant vanish into particles of light, leaving them staring at each other in bewilderment.

On the other side, Gen Subaru had indeed reached his limit. After all this ordeal, he was really struggling to keep up. The energy consumption was simply too astonishing. Moreover, he had already guessed that he was acting in the 'past' time. Therefore, after leaving a little energy to withstand the punishment of 'time', Gen Subaru exhausted all his strength, ended this long business trip, and returned to Earth.

Furthermore, upon returning to the forest ranger's hut in the forest, Gen Subaru mustered his strength and quickly activated the space he had previously used to store the stone statues. He began frantically absorbing the energy within, emptying the energy-supplying stone statues. Only then did Gen Subaru barely survive the aftermath of the [energy depletion] and the [time penalty] that followed.

Gen Subaru lay on his back on the small wooden bed, looking at the familiar ceiling and listening to the rustling of the trees outside. He let out a long breath, then closed his eyes and began to recover his depleted Nen power, slowly entering a state similar to human sleep.

It was two days later when Yuan Mao's condition improved. All his energy had returned to its minimum operating level, so Yuan Mao jumped out of bed and went outside.

Looking at the vibrant forest, Gen Subaru reached out and caught the squirrel that jumped down from the tree. He gently rubbed its fluffy tail a few times, and the squirrel nimbly ran up Gen Subaru's arm, wrapping around his neck a few times like a scarf, before leaving him and running into the forest, disappearing somewhere unknown.

Gen Subaru followed without any out of curiosity. He placed his hand on his chest, calculating his remaining time according to his precise biological clock—

One year and seven months.

This business trip cost him almost a month of his lifespan, most of which was spent chasing after that Noah clone.

But for TLT Earth, only three days had passed. This rather subtle comparison of time flow left Gen Subaru somewhat dumbfounded. He began to understand why Mr. Tartarus's textbook on time had the sentence "Time is a very complex and mysterious concept" written on the first page.

ha....

What should we do next?

Yuan Mao tilted his head. He wanted to give himself a break, and he had to thank the [Eternal Core] for that. If it hadn't helped him understand the essential issues of [Unification] and [Galaxy] and promoted the process of perfecting various details, Yuan Mao would still be busy researching this and that right now.

Ah, of course, that doesn't mean the research work ends here. After this short vacation, the development of the [Eternal·Original] power and skills, the problem of the cyan crystal in my own universe, and the engine that my body has become are all projects that require a lot of effort to advance.

As the saying goes, learning has no end, and I can't stay idle.

Yuan Mao stretched and strolled leisurely out of the forest. He then visited various branches of TLT to see if there were any problems he could quietly help resolve, and to see if there was anything in the vicinity of the solar system that he could eliminate in advance.

After finishing all that, Minamoto no Subaru found a wooden plank by the lake in Mikami-cho and wrote the name 'Yusa Rei' on it. Although they hadn't known each other for long, they were still friends. Even though he had influenced her fate in the 'past,' that was in the 'past' after all.

Although I didn't calculate exactly how long ago that was, looking back now, I estimate that at least tens of thousands of years have passed. Even with my own light, Yu Sha Lei, as a human, wouldn't have lived that long.

Therefore, Minamoto no Subaru offers a brief tribute here to this friend who died in the 'past'. Minamoto no Subaru remembers that Granny Sakura once said that death is divided into three stages:

The first level refers to the absence of heartbeat and breathing, at which point the doctor declares death. This is physical death, and this is the level of death we usually refer to.

The second level is when the deceased's relatives and friends gather together to say goodbye. This refers to the death of a person's social relationships. The common saying "when a person dies, all debts are wiped out" usually has this meaning, that is, the social relationships a person has before death are wiped out and disappear with the person's passing.

The third level refers to the death of the last person in the world who remembers you.

Tens of thousands of years have passed. On that parallel world Earth, there should be no one who remembers You Sha Lei and her fellow Earth Star Guardians anymore. This is the ruthlessness of 'time'. Although I am about to die, at least for one year and seven months, I can still mourn for you.

After the moment of silence, Gen Subaru stood up, dusted himself off, stretched, and looked at the lake as the sun set, its surface shimmering like rippling crystal. He picked up a flat stone, controlled his strength, and threw it. Watching the stone skip across the water, the child smiled knowingly. Then, he took the plank and returned to the forest ranger's hut.

Alright, the holiday's over. Now let's analyze what we can save in the [Eternal·Primal] state. Yes, that's right, I'm talking about you, Zhili! You energy hog, can't you give me a discount when casting skills?! What? No! Come on, let me calculate how to save some...

Wait, did I forget something...?

Forget it, I'll think about it when I remember. Ugh, I feel like my memory is getting worse and worse...

Just as Subaru returned to TLT Earth and began a new development plan, at the site of the initial cosmic rift, Joneus, watching the still-busy King of Ultra, hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but whisper:

"King of Ultra, if you can't figure it out, why don't you go and help others? Everyone has witnessed Ultraman Noa's abilities in spacetime manipulation, so..."

"...Subaru should still be safe."

Upon hearing this, the King of Ultra rubbed his forehead and fell into a long silence, as if unwilling to give up. But after a while, he finally spoke softly:

"Although I haven't found his whereabouts yet, there's no doubt that he has now escaped the impact of that spacetime turbulence and the associated radiation zone. Otherwise, I wouldn't be unable to find that child. I'm sorry, I didn't expect to cause such a mess. Jonias, please explain the whole story to the Land of Light for me. I'll find someone else to help, and it would be best if we could find Noah to handle this matter."

Chapter Title: Belial: Disdain

While the King of Ultra was leaving, Belial returned to his base, carefully stored away the Ultimate Battle Device, and watched as his subordinates began working on their plan to rule the universe.

To be honest, Belial was surprisingly free right now. After all, he had already made all the necessary arrangements, and there was nothing more to say. He sat on his throne, unsure of what to do. After a while, he took out something that looked like crystal from a box next to him.

That was a fragment of Fukuide Sei's soul. When that Strum alien swore allegiance to him, he asked him to tear his soul apart, as if it were a hostage, leaving this piece of soul here. If he wanted, it would be a very simple matter to kill him remotely with this fragment of soul.

But now, Belial clearly doesn't intend to kill Fukuide Sei. This Strum alien is still very useful, and it would be a waste to let him die now. He needs to be squeezed dry.

Belial looked at the fragment of the soul and slightly infused it with his power. At that moment, on Earth, Fukuide Sei, with a strip of cloth bearing the words "Strive and Work Hard" tied around his head, was thinking about how to come up with a new invention. When Belial's gaze fell on him, he suddenly lay down on the spot as if he had a seizure, his body convulsing wildly.

Fukuide Kirito was quite confused by this, not understanding what was happening. This uncontrollable action stemming from his very soul shouldn't be...

Wait, a soul? A soul!! Has Lord Belial seized a fragment of my soul?! My God! Is this a blessing I can receive?! Whoa!!! Lord Belial!!!
