Ultraman: I Really Didn't Want to Rule the World

At the same time, an ominous dark gray "smoke" spread from the robot below, miraculously resisting Gatanothor's black mist.

Today's mini-drama:

Hong Tu: Darkness? Ha, you call this thing darkness?!

Torregia wisely kept quiet, as still as a chicken.

Metabolian: Rejoice! The darkness that once destroyed countless universes has returned! It is the most ancient darkness, the one that extinguishes light and destroys worlds!

Dark Ring: Where? Where?!

Hong Tu: ...Heh.

Chapter 1398 Torregia's Experiment

Chapter 1398 Torregia's Experiment

Gatanothor let out a long, dissatisfied howl. Since following Red Tea, this was the first time it had encountered an enemy capable of contending with it in the black mist.

This was a provocation to Gatanjeor, which rarely had the chance to visit, especially in front of its owner.

Tregear's monster charged directly into the gray mist, but quickly retreated with a shriek.

Its tentacles were covered with a grayish-black mist, which began to spread like a malignant tumor, causing Cyclops to let out a sharp, painful howl.

Tregear paid no attention to the screams of his monster; he simply flew a little closer and looked inquisitively at the gray mist below.

His aura was almost impossible to conceal; it was filled with a strange and twisted excitement.

Hong Tu glanced at him and commanded Gatanothor to fire a purple beam of light at the monster in the gray mist.

The petrifying beam of light pierced through the black mist and struck the robot hard, instantly covering the area with a layer of gray stone.

But the stone did not spread; instead, it quickly became covered with cracks and turned into stone chips in the blink of an eye, scattering into the gray mist and disappearing without a trace.

Alright, Red Tea is certain that Gatanothor has no way to deal with this monster.

He pulled out a black dagger: "Together?"

Torregia readily agreed: "Of course, Your Majesty."

The monsters summoned by the two were forced to retreat, and in their place came two dark Ultramen exuding a powerful aura.

Dark Talos slowly descended from the sky. As he landed, the black mist mixed with red energy irresistibly invaded the gray mist's territory, forcing it to retreat step by step.

Instead of approaching Talos's black mist range, Torregia landed at the other end of the robot. As he landed, the gray mist was also dispelled, clearing a large area around him.

The robot, sensing something was wrong, looked around and hesitated before realizing that its situation might not be good.

It seems he can't beat either of them.

"Now, let's see how capable you are." Torregia gracefully extended his hand, as if inviting, "Don't be shy, come on."

His invitation was met with a response. Compared to Talos, who looked quite formidable, Toregia's aura was noticeably weaker, so he rushed towards Toregia without hesitation.

It looked clumsy, but it was actually incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it appeared opposite Tregear, and with a punch, it slammed it directly into Tregear's face.

Torregia casually raised his hand to catch the punch, and although his hand was knocked back a little, he still managed to catch it steadily.

"Oh? Not bad strength," he commented, his crimson eyes shining even brighter. "A bit stronger than I expected."

Talos suddenly appeared behind the robot, spun around and swept his leg out, sending the robot flying before it could even turn its head.

Talos landed lightly and glanced at Toregia, who was swinging his wrist: "Your speed is barely acceptable?"

Torregia chuckled lightly and launched an attack on the robot that had just gotten up.

The machine and the two immediately clashed.

Talos watched for a moment, then raised his hand, and a dark red energy spear condensed above his head before being unceremoniously fired.

Torregia narrowly avoided Talos's indiscriminate attack and quickly retreated to a safe distance before stopping.

But the monsters weren't so lucky; Tregear was just an afterthought, and the monsters were the main targets of the attack.

So even as it tried to dodge, the monster was still chased and pierced by these spears, turning into a hedgehog.

The pierced areas first developed a stone shell, but it was quickly pushed off. A dark gray liquid flowed from the wounds, clinging to the spear like a living thing and enveloping it. Then, it gradually melted and absorbed the spear shaft into its own body.

Torregia, who had instinctively moved away from Talos, was surprised to see this scene and instinctively looked at Talos.

Talos merely observed the robot opposite him and did not intervene.

Sure enough, as it absorbed the energy spear, the robot's surface changed once again.

Some of the cannon muzzles on its back began to change, turning into barbs that glowed with a dark red light. Dark red electric light shone at the tips of the barbs, weaving a dense "electric net" that flickered incessantly.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck Talos, who raised his hand and a dark, semi-transparent barrier unfolded to block the attack.

But as the electric grid fell in, the barrier he had erected began to reveal dark gray stone.

Talos paused, pushed the half-petrified energy shield away, and took a step back to get out of the range of the dark red electric current.

When the robot's attack ceased, the disc-shaped "stone slab" fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and then returned to stillness.

Tregear got serious now. He wasn't surprised that the ability to absorb light energy and convert it into his own power was something else entirely, but the ability to petrify even the power of Crimson Tea was another matter entirely.

It seems that something extraordinary happened to this ball of energy during the time he discarded it.

Yes, that's right, this thing was originally created by Torregia.

Ever since learning of the existence of Crimson Tea from the knowledge of the Chaos God, Tregear naturally tried to simulate and create another [Darkness].

Regardless of whether he could control himself afterward, Torregia did attempt it. Of course, it failed.

What he created at the time was nothing more than a mass of "energy" devoid of any thought, possessing only the pure instinct to "pollute".

Aside from causing massive pollution to the surrounding environment, that thing serves no other purpose.

It couldn't even contaminate Ultraman's light energy.

Naturally, Torregia considered it a failure and casually tossed it onto a desolate planet. It might slightly affect the sanity of any life form that came into contact with it, but otherwise it wouldn't have much of an effect.

Oh, if there's any other use, it's probably to prove the uniqueness of "Darkness" to Toregia, while the demons who realized he was courting death told him that if he really created something similar to "Darkness," Hong Tu would definitely notice.

This forced Tregear to temporarily abandon his experiments in creating "Darkness" and instead try to create even more powerful monsters.

This is also why Toregia is now following Red Tea; although he cannot create darkness, he can still "observe".

He never expected to see the experimental subject he had once discarded again, and in such a surprising way.

It was truly... a wonderfully exciting surprise.

Today's mini-drama:

Torregia: As long as I play innocent enough, he won't be able to directly prove that I'm the culprit.

Hong Tu: ...My hands are itching.

Toregia: Your Majesty, everything requires evidence. You wouldn't harm the innocent, would you?

Hongtu: But when I choose everyday food, I only look at the taste.

Torregia: ...Farewell.

Chapter 1399 Torregia's Wise Decision

Seeing that Hongtu's attack had turned into aiding the enemy, Toregia eagerly launched a second wave of aiding the enemy.

He made a tearing motion with his hands in front of him, and a huge rift instantly appeared before him. A dark vortex spun within it, and suddenly three beams of light—blue-black, red, and white—formed and shot towards the monster at incredible speed.

This time, the monster neither dodged nor defended, and took the attack head-on.

As the strange black liquid spread again, cracks appeared on the monster's body, opening like eyes, and vortexes of tri-colored light slowly rotated.

Successfully aided the enemy.

Toregia lowered his hand with satisfaction, pretending not to notice Talos's meaningful gaze, and looked at him innocently: "Your Majesty, it seems my attack had no effect on it."

Talos responded with a cryptic chuckle.

But Torregia, being who he was, brazenly retreated a distance, demonstrating his determination to withdraw from the battlefield.

Talos was too lazy to bother with him anymore; there would always be another time to settle accounts.

The monster, which could no longer be simply considered a robot, also turned towards Talos. The attacks from the two Ultramen had convinced him that the only one who could pose a greater threat to him was this Dark Ultraman.

Its red lights shone brightly, and crescent-shaped energy projectiles shot out, heading straight for Talos.

Talos casually slapped the light bullet away, sending it flying and landing on a nearby building.

In the blink of an eye, the once beautiful silver-white building turned into a gray stone statue.

Talos glanced at the pitiful building, then indifferently looked away. This thing was smarter than he had imagined. He had initially thought it would be a dark version of Ye Fu, but now he realized he had underestimated it. At least Ye Fu wouldn't think, nor would it use its transformed power so flexibly.

In other words, this thing is a sentient version of Leaf Rot, and the longer you fight it, the more troublesome it becomes.

Just eat it.

Talos grabbed at the blade, and a long black sword instantly appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, Talos vanished from the spot.

Having twice absorbed power to become stronger, the monster no longer intended to hide. It merely cautiously tried to find Talos's whereabouts, without taking any defensive action.

Until the pure black longsword pierced its eye directly from the back of its head.

The monster paused slightly, and the tip of the gun on its back instinctively emitted a dark red electric grid, attempting to cover Talos behind it.

But this time, Talos ignored the electric grid. The grid, which could petrify the energy shield he released, had no effect on him. Instead, he slowly and deliberately drew his longsword, intending to find another spot to strike it again.

However, the monster's attempt to draw its sword was immediately thwarted. Realizing that its petrifying power was useless, black liquid oozed from the piercing wound on its face, enveloping the tip of the longsword and even spreading along the blade toward Talos's hand.

Talos raised his foot and delivered a powerful kick to the monster's back, sending it flying and allowing him to draw his own sword, freeing himself from the black liquid's grasp.
