Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

What was that strange energy reaction I just experienced? I need to investigate it carefully; perhaps... the solution lies within it!

Gen Subaru ignored the battle between Geed and the monster, a battle that was practically a sitting duck. If Geed could still lose... no, if he suffered any injuries in such a battle, it would only mean that Max-senpai's training was too weak, or that Riku hadn't studied hard enough and needed more extra training.

Of course, the kind of accident that Gen Subaru was worried about did not happen. Asakura Riku won a beautiful victory, deactivated his transformation, and returned to Seiun-sou to continue his training.

Meanwhile, in Fukuide Sei's secret laboratory, in a huge jar filled with a viscous blue liquid, just as the monster was defeated by Geed's beam, the blue liquid began to boil instantly and turned blood red in the blink of an eye. Then, with increasingly astonishing fluctuations, the jar exploded, and a figure flew out and landed heavily on the ground.

The shirtless figure was none other than Fukuide Sei. His body was covered with a dense network of wires, and he wore a life support device on his head. There was also a faint mark on Fukuide Sei's chest, like a newly healed wound, and his skin looked exceptionally tender.

And the location of this wound is exactly where the monster was hit by Geed's finishing beam!

At that moment, Fukuide Kiri let out an eerie laugh, as if some plan had been successfully validated. A faint light emanated from his body, and strange energy fluctuations echoed within him. This made Fukuide Kiri laugh even more triumphantly. He staggered to his feet, went to the door of the experimental warehouse, picked up new experimental materials, and forcefully shoved them into his body...

454 Subaru: Time for the main course.

Another monster has appeared?

Less than twelve hours later, a new monster appeared again. Gen Subaru and Max could recognize that this monster was a fusion of Bemular and Bemular, and of course, Belial's power as well. The Belial-style energy lamp on the monster's chest was too conspicuous.

"Hmph, this kind of monster, I..."

"Wait a minute." X2

Upon seeing the monster appear, Riku Asakura immediately prepared to transform without saying a word. However, Subaru Gen and Max put their hands on his shoulders, telling him to calm down. Sure enough, not long after, another monster appeared. This monster was probably born from the combination of the cosmic giant monster Bemstar and the cosmic dinosaur Zetton.

"Speaking of which, are there really that many Bemsteins?"

Gen Subaru was silent for a moment, then looked at Max and said softly:

"I always feel like I have a special connection with these kinds of monsters. No matter which universe I go to, I can always kill a few Bemstars."

"Well... I can only say it was a matter of luck."

Upon hearing this, Max's expression became quite subtle. While the number of Bemstars in the universe was indeed not small, they weren't so numerous that one could encounter them casually. It could only be said that Bemstars were unlucky, constantly running into Subaru, the god of death.

"No, gentlemen, this isn't the time to discuss this!"

Listening to the conversation between Subaru and Max, Riku Asakura sighed helplessly, pointing to the projection of the two moving monsters and saying:

"We can't just stand by and watch them destroy the city!"

"Of course not. Go, Xiao Lu, and eliminate these two monsters. Fight them as hard as you can. If you can't beat them, Senior Max and I will be there to cover for you."

Seeing that no new monsters appeared, Gen Subaru stopped stopping Asakura Riku. If another one appeared, then Gen Subaru would have to take over the battle, as it would be beyond the capabilities of a new warrior like Asakura Riku.

Subaru, what are you thinking about?

At this moment, Max looked at Gen Subaru and said softly:

"Although I don't know what you're planning, I feel that your relaxed demeanor right now is not your normal behavior."

"Ah, that's true."

Gen Subaru lightly twirled his palm, saying as a pastime:

“Now I’m handing the initiative over to Beria. I’m letting him choose, let him choose the battlefield that he thinks is most advantageous to him, and let him appear in front of me on his own initiative.”

"Isn't this... a bit too presumptuous?"

Max understood what Gen Subaru meant, paused for a moment, and then said with a somewhat serious expression:

“Belia was already a powerful Ultra Warrior, and now he also has the power of Reionics and the soul of Reiblood. It would not be a wise choice to make him prepare.”

"Don't panic. Belial has fought me before. If I were still thinking about freeing Belial from the control of Reiblood's soul, he would be dead already. I will not lose. Victory has always been in my hands."

Genji spoke in a remarkably calm tone, sounding arrogant, but Max found it quite natural. Recalling Genji's record, Belial didn't seem like a formidable opponent. Although Max felt that Genji wasn't in good shape at the moment, perhaps it was just a trick by the kid. He should just focus on cooperating with him.

In fact, Minamoto no Subaru was indeed confident that he would not lose; the only question was what price he would have to pay to achieve victory.

Alright, there's no need to think about this anymore. Let me continue investigating what that strange fluctuation is all about.

Gen Subaru glanced at the battle outside and noticed that Geed was gaining the upper hand. Even when fighting two opponents at once, he was like a war god, much like Ultraman Jack. So he didn't pay much attention to it.

After Geed defeated the two monsters, in Fukuide Kirito's laboratory, the same huge jar emitted the same explosion, and the same figure flew out. However, this time, Fukuide Kirito looked much more miserable, with a large gash in his chest. If it weren't for the life colloid he developed, which was based on his own genes and could quickly repair injuries, and its effect, just as Fukuide Kirito had planned, he would have been dead anyway.

When the life colloid repaired Fukuide Seki's body, one could vaguely see something flashing inside his body, and the energy fluctuations reflected there were somewhat similar to Geed's light energy.

After his injuries had mostly healed, Fukuide Kiri struggled to get up and continue his experiments, but he had indeed reached his limit. After twitching a few times, he collapsed weakly.

And it was precisely for this reason that Asakura Riku breathed a sigh of relief. After such a series of battles, he also needed to rest.

And so, over the next few days, the battle between the monster and Geed continued to erupt. Watching the increasingly powerful monster, Max frowned slightly, glanced at Subaru Gen, who seemed lost in thought, and said softly:

"The enemy seems to want you to go into battle."

Max's judgment was not without reason. In the battle just now, Geed made a wrong decision to attack and was constantly beaten by the monster. Logically speaking, the monster should have had the opportunity and power to defeat Geed at that time, but the monster kept delaying, obviously waiting for something.

Then, the monster's hopes were dashed by Geed, who seized the opportunity.

Now, looking at Geed who was fighting the monster, Max couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Asakura Riku and Gen Subaru were indeed brothers. They both had an amazing resilience. Otherwise, Geed would not have been able to hold on at all.

"Ah, they definitely came for me."

What Max thought of, Minamoto no Subaru naturally thought of as well. While continuing with his work, he casually remarked:

"But since Xiao Lu can still hold on, let him continue fighting. To be honest, it would be a shame not to make the most of such a good opportunity to hone his skills. When we leave, this planet will still be counting on him."

"Subaru, isn't this a bit...?"

"It's not a big problem, the game won't last much longer."

Gen Subaru turned around, looked at the battle projected on the screen, and said softly:

"Beria's resources are almost exhausted; now it's time for the main course."

455 Belial: Hollow.jpg

As Minamoto Subaru had said, after this period of fighting, Fukuide Sei's laboratory warehouse was completely empty. Fukuide Sei never expected that Asakura Riku, this shameful experimental subject, would actually hold out so well, without giving Minamoto Subaru a chance to provide support. What was this? He was clearly a piece of trash...

'It seems you've run out of options.'

At that moment, a voice suddenly popped into Fukuide Sei's mind. This voice was naturally Belial's voice. Fukuide Sei subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground to welcome Lord Belial's arrival, but his body had indeed reached its limit. Even with the life colloid repairing his injuries, the resulting internal injuries were enough to kill an ordinary person.

"In that case, give me your last bit of value; that's all you're good for."

"Your subordinate is deeply honored!!"

Upon hearing this, Fukuide Kirito's face lit up with a fanatical smile. If he weren't already unable to move, he would have devoutly opened his arms to welcome Belial's arrival and then willingly offered up his last remaining value.

But now he could only lie on the ground, smiling and waiting. In his fervent cries, purplish-black energy appeared out of thin air, transforming into a sharp claw that pierced through Fukuide Sei's body and took something from it. Thus, Fukuide Sei's life came to an end. However, judging from his temporary expression, this fanatical believer seemed to have received the greatest glory of his life.

At the moment Fukuide Kiri died, a boy with a rooster-comb hairstyle walked out from a secluded street in Hoshiyama City. Zena had promised to try to find a genetic successor who had inherited the power of Belial Reonicus, but due to various accidents, this matter had not made any progress.

Now, the genetic successor that Zena was looking for has appeared—this mysterious rooster-haired boy. However, judging from the light flashing in his eyes, this guy has clearly been controlled by Belial. At this moment, as if he had received some kind of command, his eyes lit up with an astonishing light, he raised his head, and let out a deafening roar. Then, the blood vessels under his skin began to writhe abnormally.

Clearly, during this period, Belial undertook some unknown modifications to his genetic successor. This genetic successor, who was initially deemed a failure and discarded by Fukuide Sei, has now been transformed into an extremely sharp weapon in Belial's hands.

Amidst the increasingly piercing roar, a scarlet light burst forth from the ground, and a monster resembling a dinosaur appeared on Earth. This Belial Fusion Beast, covered in spikes and clad in red biological armor, was named "Magna Beast Belial" by Belial. It was a product of the fusion of the Demon Lord Beast Maga-Orochi and the Ultra Galaxy Emperor Arc Belial.

There's not much to say about Maga Orochi, as Subaru has already seen and fought against him. As for the latter, that dates back to the era of [Galactic Emperor Caesar Belial].

At that time, Belial absorbed a large amount of a special energy source called "Emerald Ore". Relying on this amazing energy, he grew to enormous size and became "Arc Belial", a monster with invincible power. The shape of the monster's eyes did not change much, and its chest also had the same color timer as Belial, but it had the posture of a monster. Emerald Ore crystals protruded from its back. After the transformation, it maintained its true self-awareness and could still speak the same language.

Then, in that battle, Arc Belial ignored the attacks of Mirror Knight, Janbert, and Crimson Flame, and captured Zero with overwhelming power, cornering him.

Although Zero was eventually saved thanks to the efforts of Crimson Flame and others, Belial fired the Arc Desium Ray in an attempt to obliterate Planet Esmeralda and Zero.

In that series of battles and the continuous firing of beams, Zero and his companions exhausted all their energy. Faced with the attack of the [Arc Descium Ray], Zero and the others were plunged into an unprecedented crisis of despair.

But at this moment, people's unwavering hope summoned the legendary Ultraman Noa. After Zero accepted the Shield of Paragi, he was strengthened into Ultimate Zero, which reversed the situation.

In response, Arc Belial unleashed the Arc Desium Ray once more, only to be deceived by the mirror created by Mirror Knight. He was then attacked by Zero's ultimate attack, Ultimate Zero, who was clad in the Shield of Paragi. Arc Belial's color timer was shattered, and thus, Belial met his first death.

Now, Belial is using the energy of the Star of Order to trigger the magical power that Subaru Genji had given him and then taken back. Although little of that magical power remains in Belial's body, it still allows Belial to obtain something unexpected, and the power crystal of [Arc Belial] is one of those gains.

But what exactly is this force?

Belial stared at the [Maga Beast Belial], still feeling uneasy. It definitely wasn't some kind of time travel or anything like that. Belial had experienced 'time' firsthand; after all, he'd been pulled back to the present by Zero's time-manipulation power.

Furthermore, Belial also sensed that the essence of that power was not the same as the one he was using. Rather, it was because he was the user that he experienced situations such as traveling to parallel worlds or returning to the past. He had been studying this power for so long, but he still hadn't figured out what it truly was.

So, what exactly has this kid gotten himself into?

Belial felt a strange sense of unease as he thought about this. He had always been confident of victory, truly believing that everything was under his control. But now, the situation had exceeded his expectations, which was why Belial was so eager to end the battle. Based on his intuition over the years, he believed that Subaru was now finding that power somewhat troublesome and unfamiliar. Otherwise, he would have had no chance to turn the tide long ago.

Therefore... now is the perfect time to launch a full-scale offensive. If we drag this out any longer, although we can develop new things, we'll probably still be at a disadvantage.

I think I can win this battle...

456 Belial the Worst

"Another monster!"

On the other side, Asakura Riku looked at the monster that had reappeared, his face pale as he muttered to himself. Asakura Riku felt that he had not yet reached his limit and could continue fighting, but dealing with such a monster was really too much for him.

"It's my turn."

Gen Subaru looked at the [Maga Beast Belial], gently patted his younger brother's shoulder, and said softly:

"You've done very well. Your performance in the battles over this period of time has been outstanding. If you can absorb this experience, you'll be a powerful Ultra Warrior capable of standing on your own. Now, leave it to me."

As he spoke, Minamoto Subaru gently pinched Asakura Riku's cheek. This wasn't a gesture of affection from Minamoto Subaru; it was just that in Mikami-cho, when Granny Sakura did this, he had to stay home alone and quietly wait for her to return.
