Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"It's nothing, he just died."

Although Yuan Mao didn't quite understand why Yu Sha Lei, who had been prepared to die and wasn't afraid of death when they spent time together, was now feeling lost because of 'death', as a friend, he wouldn't remain silent when it was time to comfort her.

Therefore, Minamoto no Subaru smiled and pointed to himself, saying:

"I'll be dead in about a year and a half at most. When that time comes, remember to pass on your experiences and insights about life after death to me, since you're leaving ahead of me."

"It's been thirty million years since we last met, and you've become quite lively."

Yu Shalei smiled slightly at Yuan Mao's words, but she didn't take them seriously. She had witnessed Yuan Mao's power firsthand; how could such a powerful figure die so easily? However, Yu Shalei appreciated the comfort. She floated in front of Yuan Mao, gently tapped his head, and whispered:

"Also, stop talking about death all the time. It's not a good idea. What if you really die?"

"You're over thirty million years old, how come you're still... hey hey hey!!!"

Hearing Yu Sha Lei's words, Yuan Mao crossed his arms helplessly, pretending to be dissatisfied, as if to complain about why Yu Sha Lei didn't believe him. But as soon as he finished complaining, Yuan Mao felt a very ominous gaze fall on him. Then, someone, no, a female ghost's hand landed on Yuan Mao's ear, and Yu Sha Lei's ghost face turned slightly red as a result.

"Subaru, you've really become much more lively these past few years!!!"

"No, do you women really care so much about age? I don't understand."

Subaru couldn't help but complain. Although Shiori and the vice-captain had mentioned this before in TLT, at this age, it's one thing for humans to talk about it, but they've become a soul energy aggregate. What's the point of caring about this? He didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

"I really don't know what to say about you, but you really haven't changed much. You're basically the same as you were back in the base."

Yu Shalei looked at Yuan Mao and knew he was genuinely a little unhappy this time, so she quickly released her grip, which hadn't been strong to begin with. She looked helplessly at her old friend before her, then calmed her racing emotions, which had been turbulent since their first meeting, and regained her composure, smiling as she said:

"Alright, Subaru, let's have a chat. This time, I have a lot of stories to tell you."

253 Triga, you traitor!

Gen Subaru nodded in agreement with Yusa Rei's words. Just as he was about to follow her, he sensed something was amiss, turned to look at the unidentified girl standing there, her body radiating a faint white light, and whispered:

"Did you forget about your keychain?"

"Huh? Ah, this isn't a pendant."

Yu Shalei didn't react immediately. She instinctively followed Yuan Mao's gaze and, upon seeing the girl she had overlooked, let out a short gasp and whispered:

"Her name is Shizuma Yuuna, and she is currently a member of the Earth Defense Force."

"It's also your light energy... no, this feeling is..."

Upon hearing Yusa's words, Gen Subaru narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing the presence of Shizuma Yuuna. He looked at his old friend beside him with a hint of surprise and said softly:

"Wow, You Shalei, after 30 million years, your bloodline has still been passed down. The purity of this bloodline is quite high. Is this a case of atavism?"

"This is all thanks to your help back then."

Yu Shalei casually recounted that after receiving the light from Gen Subaru and returning to the base, it took her some time to learn that the experiment at the base using her blood to create superpowers had actually succeeded. When she rushed over to take a look, she immediately understood what had happened. Without her knowledge, Gen Subaru had discovered the place and intervened, since the lingering light energy reaction on these people was far too conspicuous in Yu Shalei's eyes.

"However, I really didn't expect this atavistic phenomenon of Jingma becoming famous."

Yu Sha Lei chuckled and said:

"Otherwise, with this last bit of my soul remaining, I don't know when I'll be able to wake up."

"so...."

Subaru pointed to Shizuma Yuuna, who was standing there like a telephone pole, and said:

"What should we do with this? Should I seal her away first? And..."

Looking at Triga, who was fiercely fighting a monster in the distance, Subaru Genji asked again with a puzzled expression:

"Are you sure you don't want me to go up there and kill them both now?"

"You... don't be so murderous... really, after thirty million years, how come your temper hasn't changed at all?"

Yusa Rei casually hoisted Shizuma Yuuna's body onto her shoulder, and couldn't help but complain as she looked at Minamoto Subaru:

"Trust me, let's leave Triga aside for now and discuss the current situation first."

"okay."

Although something felt off, and I was struck by how Yu Sha Lei had become somewhat more masculine compared to before, it's always good to reunite with an old friend, so there's no need to worry about it too much.

Gen Subaru followed Yusa Rei to a small park. After placing Shizuma Yui on a bench, Yusa Rei and Gen Subaru sat on a nearby stone stool. The former leader straightened his white robe, looked at his old friend, and said softly:

"Speaking of which, there's a question I've always wanted to ask, Subaru: is your current appearance your true form, or...?"

"This is who I really am."

Gen Subaru tapped the stone table between the two men lightly with his fingers, pondering what was drawn on it, and casually remarked:

"Why do I feel like we've talked about this before?"

"Have it?"

Yusa Lei was stunned for a moment, staring at Gen Subaru with wide eyes. At that moment, not far from them, Triga was thrown into the air by the monster and crashed heavily to the ground, causing a tremendous earthquake. Shizuma Yuina, who was lying on the bench, was thrown into the air by the shock, and many broken buildings crashed towards this 'Sleeping Beauty'.

But at that moment, Yusa Lei raised her hand, and a white light shield caught the rubble. Gen Subaru pressed his small hand on the table, and Shizuma Yuina was gently placed back on the bench. He also used his telekinesis to create an invisible pillow and cushion for her to make her more comfortable.

This action drew Chimaira's attention to Subaru and Yusa, and the vampire monster's eyes immediately turned fierce, intending to eliminate the two 'humans' first.

Just then, Gen Subaru and Yusa Rei both looked at the monster. In that instant, Chimaira felt a chill run from the top of its head to the soles of its feet. In the next second, Chimaira's fierce gaze immediately shifted to Triga, who had not yet stood up, and it launched an attack with a roar.

"Your murderous aura isn't much less than mine."

After scaring away Chimaira, Subaru looked at Yusa Rei and said with some surprise:

"It seems you've suffered a lot since I left. You've really had a tough time."

"....fine."

Even though she didn't feel anything during the battle, and she didn't feel any pain after enduring these 30 million years, after hearing Yuan Mao's words of comfort, Yu Sha Lei suddenly felt her nose sting uncontrollably. It was as if all the grievances and sadness that she hadn't shown over the years were suddenly stirred up, almost causing Yu Sha Lei to lose her composure and cry in front of Yuan Mao.

However, You Shalei's good mental fortitude allowed her to control this sudden loss of control of her emotions. She only replied with a slightly hoarse voice, muttering to herself as if she were mocking herself. After all, she was now just a remnant of soul energy, so how could she lose her composure like a human?

Then she cleared her throat, looked at Gen Subaru, and said softly:

"After you left, I used your power to become Nexus, the new Giant of Light, to protect the Earth. Although the Dark Giants were severely injured by you, they continued to control and incite other monsters in the universe to attack the seal of the Eternal Core. Fortunately, those monsters were not very strong, and I killed most of them."

"I'm sorry, it was me..."

Upon hearing this, Gen Subaru lowered his head in shame and said softly that he had indeed overlooked this point. He only thought that leaving light would allow Yusa Lei to resist the attack of the dark giants, and forgot about the monsters.

"Don't say that. I saw the battle back then too. You were under just as much pressure as I was. I believe you left in such a hurry because you had a more important enemy to eliminate."

Yusa interrupted Gen Subaru's apology and continued:

"Besides, I wasn't fighting alone. Everyone in the base was helping me. And after Ultraman 'Dyna' awakened, he also joined the battle to protect Earth. However, after that Ultraman planned to find and eliminate the Dark Giants and launch his attack, he disappeared. We haven't heard from him since the end of the final battle. I'm afraid..."

"Dyna... he should be alright."

Gen Subaru thought for a moment. Dyna was still very strong. Although he was badly beaten by Noah Trigger, his opponent was a clone of Noah. That was no ordinary person. The Dark Giants were beaten so badly back then, Gen Subaru really didn't think they would have the strength to subdue Dyna.

Therefore, Subaru is more inclined to believe that during the proactive attack, Dyna's spacetime force malfunctioned, and he was transported to an unknown location.

So, is spacetime force really that difficult to control? Fortunately, the Light of Nexus is naturally highly adaptable to spacetime force, saving me a lot of trouble.

Yuan Mao sighed inwardly, then looked at You Sha Lei and said softly:

"I'll keep an eye on Dyna's situation later, so there's no need to worry about it."

"Ah."

Yu Shalei nodded and continued:

"For a period of time after Dyna took the initiative, the number of monsters and aliens invading Earth did decrease significantly, but I believe the Dark Giants' ambition for the [Eternal Core] will not diminish. So I set up a scheme to control the battle situation by adding injuries to my body that would not affect the battle, making me appear weaker and weaker. After enduring the Dark Giants' repeated probing, I finally lured those guys out."

At this point, You Sha Lei couldn't help but feel like crying again. It was truly a difficult time. In the end, she really felt like she was going to be beaten to death. If the dark giants hadn't appeared, she really wouldn't have been able to hold on. Fortunately, the dark giants' greed for the [Eternal Core] allowed her to succeed.

Now that the dark giants had been successfully lured out, there was nothing more to say. Without hesitation, You Sha Lei plunged all ten or so vials of the potion she had into her heart. These were invigorating drugs specially developed by the base for this situation, but the developers hadn't expected You Sha Lei to use so many at once.

However, the excessive dose of the drug also gave Yusa Lei amazing combat power. With her senses enhanced, pain reduced, and various physical limitations unlocked, in just the first round of combat, Hitram, who was the first to rush up, had both arms broken and his left knee shattered, and was forced to withdraw from the battle on the spot.

Then, Yusha's fearless fighting style once overwhelmed the remaining three dark giants, causing them to mistake Yusha's Nexus for the god of death from back then.

So the dark giants planned to retreat again, but since this was a trap set by You Sha Lei, how could they be allowed to leave so easily? The barrier set up in advance, as well as the arriving defense team members, blocked the dark giants' retreat route, making it difficult for them to leave the battlefield.

This action drove the dark giants mad, and they launched a fierce offensive against Yusa. In this intense battle, Yusa managed to defeat Carmilla and Dagon, and then engaged in the final battle with Dark Triga.

Rather than calling it a final battle, it's more like a test of who can last until the end. The light that Gen Subaru gave to Yusa was not the incomplete Nexus Light that Gen Subaru himself had originally copied. In addition, it also contained some of Gen Subaru's battle memories so that Yusa could gain experience from them.

Dark Trigger, on the other hand, hadn't fully recovered from his previous injuries, so by the end of the battle, Yusa Rei and Dark Trigger were basically just weakly throwing punches at each other's faces.

However, this situation was within You Sha Lei's expectations. The prepared killing move had been activated and was in the process of gathering strength.

Sudden...

Yusa Lei heard Dark Triga's words, which were not a provocation, nor did they expose Yusa Lei's plan. Instead, they were filled with confusion. He was asking what kind of power the power of light was, and why it was so much stronger than the power of darkness.

Clearly, after being brutally beaten by two Nexus, Dark Trigger's mentality was somewhat broken. He even began to doubt his own power and was filled with confusion and curiosity about the light.

This was unexpected by Yusare, but she could sense that Dark Triga's confusion was genuine. Therefore, Yusare didn't waste the opportunity. Organizing her thoughts, she began to persuade Dark Triga to abandon darkness and embrace the light. And when she felt she had persuaded him sufficiently, Yusare directly channeled all the remaining light energy into Dark Triga's body—

This isn't a gamble; it's a plan that Yusa Lei came up with on the spot. She can unleash her next killing move even in her Adaptor state. And if this light energy can really pull Dark Triga to the side of light, that would be the best outcome.

If not, then the conflict between light and dark energy can cause Dark Triga to become slowed down, buying her time to unleash her killing move.

What Yusa Lei didn't expect was that after the light energy and dark energy came into contact in Dark Triga's body, a kind of energy change beyond the rules occurred, causing Dark Triga to lose its original appearance and emit a soft light.

Seeing this, Carmilla and Dagon immediately struggled to their feet and rushed towards Dark Triga. They had noticed that Dark Triga and Yusaley were talking, and they had also seen the light energy being transmitted into Dark Triga's body. Then their lover (comrade-in-arms) turned into such an ugly appearance. Something terrible must have happened, and they had to help and pull him back.
