Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

The sky flashed with Leo's classic battle scenes.

Leo's flying kick descended from the sky, piercing through the monster's body.

Facing the disc-shaped creatures, Leo fought alone, the city was shattered, and his companions sacrificed themselves, but he never retreated a single step.

Leo's suffering goes beyond just fighting.

One by one, his human companions sacrificed themselves.

The most painful thing is when the disc-shaped creatures attack.

Upon hearing the words "disc creature," Leo's body stiffened slightly, the calm in his eyes shattered instantly, replaced by overwhelming pain.

For many years, that has been a source of pain in his heart.

Astra gripped his hand tighter, offering silent reassurance.

[Disc-shaped creatures, killing machines from the planet Black. They have no physical form, are unpredictable, and what's even more terrifying is that their target is not only Earth, but everyone around Leo.]

The first disc-shaped creature, Sylbabelme, has arrived, and disaster strikes in an instant.

[The MAC team's base was attacked. Before the alarms had even finished sounding, the entire space station was devoured, crushed, and blasted into cosmic dust by the disc-shaped creatures.]

In the footage, the flames from the explosion dyed the night sky red.

The base in space was torn to pieces. The last screams of his teammates came through the communicator, followed by a deathly silence.

This was not a drill, not a defeat, but total annihilation.

None of MAC's teammates survived.

The daily routine he protected was shattered time and time again.

He didn't even have the right to shed tears; he could only clench his fists and continue fighting.

No one knows how desperate he felt when he pulled his teammate's remains from the disc-shaped creature.

Seven from the Solar System had a face as black as the bottom of a pot, and his body emanated a chilling aura.

If he hadn't been unable to transform back then, he would have torn that disc-shaped creature to pieces, then to pieces again, and to pieces again, leaving it with no complete corpse!

Some say: Leo is a tragic hero among Ultraman.

Leo himself doesn't think so.

It was this hardship that transformed him from a fugitive prince into the universe's greatest fighting champion.

Later, his younger brother Astra returned.

With the brothers fighting side by side, Leo is no longer alone.

Later, Leo gained the approval of the King of Ultra and officially joined the Ultra Brothers.

From a wandering alien to the seventh brother recognized by the Land of Light

That's the serious version. Now for the unserious version... which is actually even more heartbreaking.

Other Ultraman characters: Couldn't win → Called for help → Won

Leo: Can't beat them → Get beaten up → Special training → Get beaten up again → Special training again → Train himself until he can win

[Others' battles: dazzling lights, a cool entrance]

Leo's battles: every punch lands hard, he's covered in wounds, every fight is a fight to the death.

The Land of Light's Ultras stared at the sky in silence.

Zoffy sighed softly, "Leo has suffered more than all of us combined."

The First Generation nodded: "He wasn't born strong; he was forced to become strong."

Taro whispered, "Leo is the person I admire most."

Jack clenched his fists, his eyes filled with empathy: "I've lost teammates before, but I've never experienced such a catastrophe... Leo, you've had it so tough."

Ultraman Leo: He has neither the status of a prince nor innate power.

All he possessed was the Lion Spirit of Nebula L77.

[Yes, it is an indomitable will and the courage to stand shoulder to shoulder with gods despite being mortal.]

If the first six Ultramen represent the passing down of light...

Leo is a symbol of resilience.

He told everyone

Even if I have nothing, even if I'm covered in wounds, even if I'm all alone

As long as I can still stand, I must fight to the very end.

This is Ultraman Leo.

A lone lion, a wandering warrior, the strongest fighting king in the universe.

[He is also the most pitiful and the most respectable of the Ultra Brothers.]

Chapter 57: Aliens and monsters need hope!

However, even a serious and dignified lion has had its share of memorable moments in the past.

Oh, no, perhaps it should be said that he had a memorable scene back on Earth, but he wasn't the main character in that scene.

The screen suddenly went dark, and the boundless universe slowly emerged from the darkness.

The cool-toned stardust fell like torn silver ribbons, leaving countless long, thin trails of light in the void.

The stars twinkled faintly in the distance, like countless eyes, silently watching everything that was about to happen.

The Ultra Star hangs in the center of the image, its emerald green light standing out prominently in the darkness.

Its surface is covered with a crystal-like architectural complex, with countless points of light flowing within it, representing the daily patrols of the Ultramen.

But at this moment, no one noticed the impending crisis.

The camera suddenly zooms in, passing through layers of nebulae, and freezes on an inconspicuous asteroid near the Land of Light.

A tall tower stands on the surface of the asteroid—the Tower of Ultra, forged entirely from an unknown silver metal, its body shimmering with a faint golden light, echoing the Plasma Spark Tower.

It is one of the key nodes in the Ultra Star energy system, and it rarely receives any attention on a daily basis.

Suddenly, a cold chain whistled out from the darkness, coiling around the tower with the precision of a venomous snake.

The chains tightened suddenly, and the grating sound of metal rubbing together couldn't travel in the vacuum, but the intense vibrations were clearly transmitted to every viewer through the screen.

"Snap—"

The tower shook violently, and the metal at its base began to twist and deform. The chains tightened again, and the colossal silver tower was uprooted!

Metal fragments rained down in all directions, tumbling and spinning in the starry sky. Some collided with nearby meteorites, exploding into even finer powder and stirring up clouds of dust.

At the same time, an agile figure flashed out from the shadows and slid into the control room like a ghost.

The figure moved with astonishing speed, each step precise, clearly demonstrating an intimate knowledge of the layout.

His fingertips danced rapidly across the control panel, disabling several security measures one after another. Finally, his fingers gripped the enormous key embedded in the center of the energy core.

It was a huge key, about the height of a person, entirely gilded, with intricate patterns engraved on its surface.

Those patterns are not decorations, but channels for the flow of plasma energy, which are now shimmering with a dazzling golden light.

It floats silently in the energy core, serving as the central hub of the entire Ultra Star orbit and energy system—the Ultra Key.

As he left, he bumped into the original Ultraman. After a brief exchange of blows, he used the momentum to flip and knock the original Ultraman down. The thief, enveloped in the golden light of the key, disappeared into the depths of space without looking back.

Then a close-up shot of the sky appeared, the camera locked onto the fleeing figure.

At first glance, the silver and red body, the horns on the head, the iconic breastplate...

Ultraman!

There's internal strife?

"Holy crap, Ultraman is stealing our own stuff?"

"Is this about dividing up the family fortune? Shouldn't Brother Zoffy step up and say, 'This family can't fall apart'?"

"Wait, is the Land of Light going to crash into Earth?! What did we do to deserve this?!"

"Wait, why is it always Earth that gets into trouble? If you're so capable, go cause trouble on other planets!"

This is the common reaction of everyone else in the world.

Then Tianmu began to introduce himself.

Astra, Leo's younger brother

The Ultra Key he stole is the key to controlling all energy.

Now that the key has been stolen, the Planet of Ultra has also left its orbit and is drifting aimlessly in space.

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

Intense tremors spread outward from the planet's core, causing buildings on the surface to shake and the light from the plasma spark towers to become violently erratic, sometimes surging and sometimes contracting.

The entire planet, having lost its gravitational pull, began to deviate from its original orbit, staggering through the universe like a drunken giant.

The chain reaction spread rapidly.

The surrounding planets were torn apart by the chaotic gravitational field, and their orbits began to distort. Some were pulled toward the Planet Ultra, while others were flung into the distant void.

The asteroid belt was shattered into fragments, and countless meteorites rained down on nearby satellites, each impact creating a cloud of dust.

That is the only core that holds Ultraman's orbit together; if it is lost, the entire planet will spiral out of control.

Even more terrifying is that, given its current trajectory, the Land of Light will crash into the solar system with tremendous force, and Earth will be the first to be reduced to ashes.

[Furthermore, the Ultra Key is also extremely dangerous.]

Father of Ultra once used it as a weapon to destroy a terrifying demon planet.

The scene shifts to two Ultramen with enormous double-horned heads standing side by side, holding the Ultra Key together in both hands.

Golden energy gathered at the tip of the key, growing brighter and brighter until it finally transformed into a thick beam of light that struck a distant, dark, demonic planet.

In an instant, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the planet, and scorching magma gushed out from within.
