After Ultraman falls into darkness, all his superhuman powers are used for purposes contrary to light, becoming a vicious threat. Given this threat, can the Land of Light still be considered a flawless and just entity in the universe?

Every resident of the Land of Light knows about Belial's rebellion. But without getting close to Belial's motives and deeper psychological motivations behind the events, one cannot truly understand him.

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

This was something Tregear heard from an Earthling from Taro, but that didn't stop him.

When approaching danger, everyone says, "There's danger behind us, don't go any further!" But what's really behind us? Is it madness? Chaos? We must have the courage to explore the unknown. Don't you have that?

Tregear was engrossed in my research, and Gen Subaru also toned down his casual attitude and began to prepare to take action. He realized that Tregear was about to lose control of his curiosity and might cause trouble.

Some time later, Tregear heard rumors about Ultraman Hikari, whom he respected. Hikari, stranded on the planet Arbok, was attacked by the high-dimensional predator Bogaru. Hikari fought desperately, but Arbok was ultimately destroyed by Bogaru. Hikari then transformed into a vengeful demon. He donned Arbok's legendary armor, the Armor of Arbok, and became the Hunter Knight Sword. He became a ruthless warrior willing to sacrifice anything around him to destroy Bogaru. How could Ultraman Hikari, so steadfast in battle and so calm and rational, have become like this! His former respected superior, a scientist who was the pride of the Blue Clan, had fallen into the abyss of revenge.

Realizing this, Torregia seemed to have overcome some obstacle, and suddenly began his next thought process—

Ultraman is not a god, but he does the work of balancing good and evil, light and darkness to maintain the balance of the universe.

Belial and Hikari's existence is a rift in the Land of Light. Born as Ultraman, they possess immense power, yet some are seduced by darkness. Ultraman are just larger in stature, completely the same as Earthlings. Aren't Ultraman still immature beings? We arrogantly wield our so-called fists of justice simply because we've gained some power.

Isn't this extremely dangerous for the universe? In the end, light and darkness are separated by only a thin sheet of paper; it's just a never-ending battle, isn't it? I can only say that the Land of Light is a country of deception.

In a state of bewilderment and despair, Torregia fled the Land of Light in this frenzied state...

Having lost track of time, Tregear, who had left the Land of Light, arrived at Planet Qiuciola after leaving the Land of Light. This planet was managed by the Interstellar Alliance and was a waste-collecting planet.

Torregia whispered to himself:

"An abandoned garbage planet? What a perfect planet for a useless Ultraman like me who can't even figure out a problem..."

In this place, I should be able to slowly contemplate life.

Toregia saw organic matter in the discarded trash, which reminded him of his adventures with Taro. This place could very well be a breeding ground for primordial life, couldn't it? Could he convert the information in this organic matter into DNA? Could he create life from it?

Ultraman is not a god, but he possesses power that can be considered equivalent to that of a god. Tregear, who abandoned the Land of Light, finds it ironic that such a thing, though abandoned, is alive. This is tantamount to touching the very root of life ethics, a realm that should never be entered, but "absolutely untouchable" means you are allowed to "step in"—this is Tregear's creed.

The creature that Tregear created from organic matter is a soft-bodied creature reminiscent of the "Cosmic Leech of Planet Tiga" that he encountered when he was young and adventuring with Taro.

The leech gradually grew, developing eyeballs and small forelimbs. It resembled the Narmagon, a soft-bodied monster that inhabits Mars, the fourth planet in the solar system. Tregear named this creature "Snak," which means "little one" in the language of the Land of Light. Although Tregear himself was reluctant to admit it, Snark was precisely the one who healed his loneliness.

Snark was very fond of Tregear. But the monster grew enormous after swallowing the endless garbage left by the Interstellar Alliance. Snark became a behemoth hundreds of meters tall and attacked the city and residents of Quciora. However, at this time, Tregear, as a Blue Tribe Ultra Warrior, could no longer control it.

"Stop, Snark!"

However, the weak-willed Tregear was unable to stop Snark's invasion, but Tregear had one more trump card—

There is a bug in Snark's DNA information.

Faced with the local civilization's cries of agony after being attacked, Toregia hesitated before activating a bug. Snark immediately let out a painful scream, transforming into various creature shapes as it struggled in agony. Finally, Snark shrank into a small flower.

Torregia silently held the small flower, and finally sighed softly, saying in a low voice:

"Neither you nor I can live on this planet."

After she finished speaking, the flower withered and disappeared instantly.

Another dark copper bell rang in Toregia's heart, and then Toregia left the planet Qiuciola silently.

Then what....

Torregia began his long wandering. In this cold cosmic space, under the gaze of thousands upon thousands of planets, in the solitude of the vacuum, Torregia repeatedly asked and answered himself. And how many more tens of thousands of years would this kind of life repeat itself?

During this time, Tregear heard rumors circulating throughout the galaxy that Taro had a son, and the son's name seemed to be "Taiga." Tregear imagined Taiga's appearance in the dark universe. He never expected Taro to use the "Taiga Spark" they created that day for his son's name! In that case, I guess I'm half the one who named Taiga. Just kidding.

Then, Torregia thought of something: he had gradually approached something called "light" and wanted to follow in its footsteps, but he had been unable to find an answer. Now it seemed that he could find another path.

"If Taro wants to embody the light, then I will conquer the darkness. We'll arrive at the same place eventually, won't we?"

As Tregear wanders the galaxy, he investigates the remnants of a time before he took on cosmic security duties in the Land of Light, a time when light and darkness were still intertwined—in other words, he investigates traces of the primordial universe, known as "Chaos." It seems the ancient cosmic script he saw in the caves of Planet Tiga during those adventurous days will prove useful.

During his long and arduous journey through the universe, Torregia's views gradually changed. To him, light and darkness seemed to have lost their value.

"There is neither day nor night in the universe. Light and darkness are merely illusions. There is only pure vacuum, nothingness..."

Finally, Toregia arrived at Borges, a planet with legendary ruins sealed within, containing primordial chaos. Toregia also deciphered the ancient cosmic script within the caves of Tiga Deyu, obtaining detailed information about the place: a dangerous place where spacetime is distorted, absolutely inaccessible, the graveyard of "someone" who threatens the balance of the universe—

In the past, there was neither light nor darkness in the universe; everything existed within a chaotic vortex. This vortex was the vast ocean of unconsciousness, which was sealed deep within the "abyss."

To maintain normalcy, people dream, and dreams are the gateway to the abyss. Sometimes they are nightmares, and sometimes they bring inspiration. Unconsciously, people connect with this "abyss," the remnants of which have long since weathered away over hundreds of millions of years. This place is now the well of souls leading to cosmic hell!

So, Toregia began chanting the incantation he had been researching for years to resurrect the ancient gods, intending to break the seal on the ruins.

boom!

A magic circle inscribed with ancient cosmic script immediately opened above the well in front of Toregia!

"O darkness of the universe, wandering among the stars, heed my command, awaken from your long slumber now!"

Boom boom boom boom!

The wellhead trembled, the earth cracked, and dust billowed. A gigantic blue sphere emerged from the fissure, its translucent surface revealing countless phantoms writhing within. These were the materialized forms of hundreds of evil gods, existing even before the birth of the universe, writhing in the darkness—the sealed ancient "chaos." What is that thing? It looks like a "blue balloon."

At that moment, Torregia put his finger to his lips and blew a breath.

"Bang!"

The giant blue balloon burst open, and countless evil gods emerged from it. Toregia opened his arms to welcome the evil gods who were rushing towards him.

"Come on, nameless ancient evil gods, my body and I are the sacrifices offered to you, have your fill!"

Chirp! ...

The roars of the "evil gods" were deafening, and the evil gods twisted and turned like a tornado, burrowing into Toregia's color timer.

Using magic and the power of Ultraman, Tregear sealed the powerful and terrifying evil gods deep within his Color Timer. To prevent the evil gods' power from erupting, Tregear had to add a strong restraint to the Color Timer, transforming it into the form it took when fighting Subaru.

After acquiring the evil power of the ominous object, Tregear gained invincible combat power. The destructive light waves are electromagnetic waves that are fired from his fingertips. His magnificent power can drive all living beings into a frenzy. The power of the evil god granted Tregear the ability to transcend dimensions. The skill is called [Tregear's Door]. He can move between dimensions by using the magic circle that appeared when the evil god descended.

From now on, there's no need to rely on the Tifalet line anymore. The color timer will no longer flash red, and Tregear has given up his identity as an Ultraman.

Now I, Toregia, have transcended light and darkness. Light and darkness are both ephemeral things. Everything is emptiness.

I gained the ability to move freely in multiple universes, interfered with numerous universes, and am capable of anything to deny the so-called light and bond of Ultraman. A bond only exists when there are people who cannot maintain it. A hundred idiots gathered together only amplify the idiocy a hundredfold.

With this thought in mind, Toregia descended upon the planet Kobor, where the cosmic witch Murunao resided. The weathered witch had foreseen the aging of her appearance.

"who are you?"

"I have different names in different universes. Just call me Tregear."

"What are you doing?"

"I'm here to fulfill your dream. What is your dream?"

"I'm an old woman now. I have no dreams..."

"Is that so? The passage of time is cruel. Youth, something that disappears long before it has any clear value. But what if we could freeze youth, beauty, and love forever?"

"...Is it possible?"

"Of course. Once everything is turned into jewels, that brilliance becomes eternal."

As he spoke, Torregia extended his palm.

"If you want that kind of ability... then grab my hand."

So, the cosmic thief reached out, and Tregear channeled her energy into a blue-purple light, which Murunao probably turned into jewels to collect. What happens after that? What's it to me? I'm a non-overtime advocate.

Subaru knew what happened next, because it was he and Gai who dealt with the female thief who wanted to turn everything into gems.

Subsequently, Tregear continued to play many pranks related to this kind of fate and destiny in different universes, and the evil god within Tregear would summon all sorts of powerful beings.

"So you're Lugsette, the white blood cell of the universe? I'll slightly modify your instincts; just go and kill germs indiscriminately."

"Ha, Greiza, are you the existence of 'Nothingness'? But even I can't tamper with 'Nothingness'. You are free."

Torregia's actions became increasingly arbitrary, but also more destructive.

Taro, I live on the opposite side of what you cannot live. In this way, I have finally become your "shadow".

There are as many versions of me as there are multiverses. Even if my physical body is destroyed multiple times, my counterparts in other dimensions will be resurrected; I have transcended life and death. I am an Ultraman who surpasses Ultraman—no, you should still call me Tregear, driven by insane curiosity.

With this in mind, Tregear planned to use this power to attack the Land of Light.

Taro must be in the Land of Light. Is his son Taiga there too? I really look forward to meeting you two. Watch me transcend this "wall" named after you.

Seriously, who said that light is justice...?

Okay, let's stop here.

Just then, Minamoto no Subaru, who had witnessed all of this, pressed the stop button. He had realized that changing Tregear's future was no longer something that could be achieved simply by resolving a single issue.

This Ultraman's problem lies in his own mindset, as well as in the unique environment of the Land of Light. Subaru had heard of many other names for the Land of Light, but the most famous in the universe was undoubtedly the 'Ultraman Gang'. Ultraman warriors have their own code of conduct, and the Land of Light never skimps on resources from other planets. Therefore, Ultraman's reputation in the universe is quite good.

However, justice is flawed, and the fighting style of the new generation of Ultra Warriors, led by Zero's father, which has been quite bloody in the past two years, does resemble that of a gangster. Their bias towards Earth also resembles a gang protecting their own territory...

Of course, of course, Gen Subaru didn't think it was inappropriate at all; it was perfect. As an Ultraman from Earth, Gen Subaru loved this style. But for Tregear, it was clearly incomprehensible.

However, this wasn't a question only Tregear had pondered. Back in X's territory, I remember the guards there also asked, "Under what circumstances is killing a monster considered just?" Even his grandfather, Seven, had struggled with whether or not to continue helping humanity, the invaders, fight the monsters...

All of this shows that Ultraman killing monsters is not the same as justice. So the question comes back to us: what exactly is justice, and how should it be upheld? This question seems unsolvable, and indeed it is. Everyone has their own doubts about this issue, but the final answer can only be given according to each person's own boundaries.

Toregia was also caught in this dilemma. He began to try to find a standard answer. He wanted to explore the root of evil and understand why light and darkness coexisted.

Did he find the answer?

Torregia felt he had found it; the answer seemed to be the chaos itself.

But Yuan Mao felt that it was just a way for him to escape. After being confused for too long, he saw something similar and threw himself into it, taking it as his final conclusion.
