A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

Her composite form clearly combined the powers of Darramb and Hitler, clearly possessed the ability to absorb all energy, and clearly had made thorough preparations.

Why was it still breached?

No matter how frantically Camilla mobilized the dark energy within her body to try and fill the gap, the energy was pulverized as soon as it touched the wound by the absolute sharpness of the concept remaining on the sword.

The damage caused by this sword is irreversible.

Qianyu shook her head slightly, secretly admiring the thoroughness of the preparations. The equipment was both energy-absorbing and durable.

It's a pity, sir, that times have regressed.

Life force burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam.

The power within his body was rapidly draining away through this opening, and the energy he had just absorbed from Darramb and Hitler was also beginning to dissipate.

"What methods did you... use...?"

"Nothing special."

"It was just a regular chopping motion."

Camilla's eyes gradually filled with despair.

She knew she couldn't hold on any longer.

Darramb's brute strength, Hitler's speed, and his own energy absorption—these three forces combined were still enough to overwhelm him.

It's not because the other person is much stronger than me.

It was because those bizarre, incomprehensible abilities precisely countered all her methods.

Stop time, ignore defenses.

This is not something an ancient warrior should have.

Resentment and bitterness surged in her chest as Camilla roared and lashed out with her last whip.

This was her last desperate counterattack, using all her remaining strength.

Qian Yu didn't move at all; with a casual flick of her wrist, she lightly flicked the lightsaber upwards.

The light whip broke cleanly in the middle.

The broken whip tip dissipated into countless particles of light as it fell, disappearing into the wind.

Camilla's body swayed violently, unable to maintain her Ultraman form, and her body rapidly collapsed in mid-air like a deflated balloon.

A blinding burst of light erupted, and she transformed back into the girl dressed in ancient clothing, crashing directly into the dilapidated stone ruins below.

At the same moment, the layer of black energy that had been clinging to her body seemed to sense the demise of her life signs.

Without the slightest hesitation, it decisively detached itself from Camilla's body, transforming into a formless dark current that shot straight into the sky and disappeared into the depths of the clouds.

As the black mist dissipated, the thick black fog that had enveloped the Pacific Ocean began to rapidly disintegrate.

The projection screen, which was broadcast simultaneously to the world, cracked inch by inch and disappeared without a trace.

The long-awaited sunlight pierced through the remaining haze and shone once again on this ancient island that had been sleeping for 30 million years.

Chiyu deactivated her transformation and returned to human form, then stuffed the sword token back into her pocket.

He walked across the rubble to the edge of the pit, his back to the blinding sunlight, and silently gazed at Camilla lying in a pool of blood.

Sunlight shone on Camilla's pale face.

Ignoring the still-bleeding, fatal wound on her waist, she forced her eyes open, facing the halo of light overhead, and looked at the golden sun in the sky.

"So warm."

She felt her life force slipping away, and murmured to herself, "So this is what the temperature of light feels like."

Seemingly knowing that her time was coming to an end, Camilla dropped all her pretense and defenses.

She turned her head with difficulty, looking at Qianyu with an extremely complicated expression.

Those eyes held a mixture of resentment and deep hatred for the longing that had spanned millions of years, which had been left behind.

"Why, Ultraman Tiga?"

"Why did you make me watch you walk towards the light alone back then, leaving me to rot in this endless darkness?"

"I really hate you, I hate that you abandoned me."

"I, too, have longed for light."

"Why didn't you take me with you back then?"

Qianyu did not correct the fact that the other party had mistaken her for someone else.

"No one says you have to be born in darkness; you can become light too."

"..."

Camilla was stunned.

"If Ultraman Tiga could do it 30 million years ago, why can't you?"

"Light and darkness are not mutually exclusive; he can turn from darkness to light, and so can you."

Qianyu stood up.

"It's just that you've never considered this possibility."

"Can I... become light too?"

A complex emotion flashed in Camilla's eyes.

It wasn't anger, it wasn't resentment.

It's something that's almost regrettable.

"……Yeah."

She closed her eyes, seemingly pondering the meaning of those words.

After a long while, Camilla reopened her eyes. "Oh, right, there's something I need to tell you."

"explain."

"I don't know what that wisp of black mist that just ran away was."

"All I know is that it was this force that awakened me from my long slumber."

Qianyu understood.

This woman was indeed just a pawn pushed onto the stage to test the waters; the mastermind behind the resurgence was definitely this fleeing dark energy.

Before Camilla breathed her last, she dropped a bombshell warning.

"Those dark fogs will one day return with a vengeance."

"At the very bottom of this island."

"The true ruler of darkness still lurks in the shadows."

"I originally intended to use humans to revive that being."

"For some reason, it just won't wake up, it's like... it's fallen into some kind of absolute stillness."

"However, as long as that dark aura remains, it will eventually drag the entire world into the sea."

Qianyu stood there, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.

A terrifying being that cannot be awakened in the depths of the ocean, the ruler of darkness.

All the clues instantly connected and closed the loop. The guy Camilla mentioned who had been sleeping all along could only be the ultimate being who truly destroyed the ancient civilization in legend.

The evil god Gatanjie.

This guy has been sleeping right under this island all along!

"You're saying it won't wake up?"

"Yes."

Camilla nodded gently.

Qianyu fell into deep thought.

In the original story, Gatanothor eventually awakens, but in this timeline, it remains unable to awaken.

Because of what?

Was it because of his intervention, like a butterfly?

Or is there another reason?

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

Camilla's voice interrupted his thoughts.
