Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

Now that they have defeated King Maga Grand, this dark power has been freed from King Maga Grand's body and is now appearing before everyone in its true form.

Something was wrong, and the Ultra Warriors acted decisively, launching an attack on the darkness before it could change. They unleashed a barrage of attacks, including the Photon Ice Blade, Photon Crusher, Spiral Light Spear, and Spearion Ray, but nothing happened when they struck the deep darkness.

The next moment, the darkness suddenly expanded, then began to twist from its center point, shrinking into an invisible point like a black hole before disappearing.

Danger! The thought flashed through everyone's minds. Hong Kai looked around and saw that Zetton in the sky suddenly activated the Zetton Barrier. Then, with a loud bang, Zetton seemed to be slammed to the ground by a force that came from nowhere. The mud that splashed up was even higher than the commotion when Gaia landed.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the spot in the sky where Zetton had just stood, and found another figure there, a figure that looked very much like a Kirieloid, but was clearly much more powerful.

The interwoven gray and black lines made his face look like it was mocking and ridiculing everyone present. The sharp horns on both sides of his head were like a demon, yet they also had a discordant and uncomfortable feel to them. His dark metallic color was exactly the same as that of King Maga Grand, and the wrist blades on his arms and foot blades on his feet gleamed with cold light.

Although he didn't have the colossal, awe-inspiring physique of the Five Emperors, nor the unsettling dark aura of Maga Grand King, this Kirieloid in front of them made every Ultraman present feel a genuine sense of threat to death.

Long before it was defeated and sealed by Orb using the same technique, the dark power within Maga Grand King was already seeking a breakthrough, and thus devoured many Kirieloids upon awakening.

After using the power of the Ultra Warriors to help him break free from his old body, Darkness reappeared before everyone in the form of the Kirieloid, combining with the remaining energy of King Magagrand.

Now, it should be called Maga Dark Flame Warrior.

Maga Balrog seemed quite satisfied with his current body as he tried clenching his fist. Then, he vanished from the sight of the Ultras in a flash, and appeared in front of Orb the next second. A flash of cold light passed by, and sparks exploded on Orb's chest. The immense pain caused Orb to collapse to the ground.

This wasn't teleportation, but the speed was so fast that it almost resembled teleportation. Zetton was able to activate his defenses in time to block the attack because he could sense Maga the Flame Demon's movement trajectory.

Even so, looking at his almost shattered barrier, Zetton realized that this was the opponent's true power, an enemy far more powerful than the Five Emperors.

"Orb!" Gaia quickly helped Orb up and treated him. Agul raised his sword and charged towards Maga Balrog. The latter remained calm and composed, extending a purplish-black lightsaber from his wrist blade to fight against Agul.

Blaze also reconstituted the spiraling spear of light and joined forces with Agul to entangle the Balrog. However, his addition did not put any pressure on the Balrog. Both of them only felt that the Balrog's sword was getting faster and faster, and they even went from taking the initiative to taking the initiative to defend.

The Balrog Maga was using himself and Agul as practice targets for him. Realizing this, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of Blaze, but before the light arrived, he instinctively raised the Spiral Light Spear in front of himself.

The spiral spear was severed after only a second, but the time it bought was enough for Blaze to retreat, avoiding the same fate as Orb. Agul seized the opportunity to try and cut off Maga Balrog's hand, but the opponent caught his lightsaber with his bare hands.

The patterns on Maga's face seemed to mock Agul's overestimation of his abilities. He then threw Agul away with one hand, while his left hand conjured two arrow-like projectiles that struck Blaze with such speed that Blaze didn't even have time to dodge.

"This guy is really tough to deal with." Gaia clenched his fists. If he could transform into his SV form, he could fight against Maga Flame Demon, but as he is now, he is not even a V2.

“He… hasn’t gotten serious yet.” Orb struggled to his feet. “This guy is still getting used to his current body. He wants to use us as his whetstone.”

Looking at Blaze and Agul lying on the ground, Maga Balrog turned its gaze to Orb, because it clearly remembered that tens of millions of years ago, it was this Ultraman who sealed it away.

Other Ultramen can be kept around to be slowly tortured and familiarized with their power, but this guy has to die right now!

In an instant, Maga Balrog was already in front of Orb and Gaia, kicking Gaia hundreds of meters away, grabbing Orb by the neck and lifting him up, while the wrist blade of his other hand mercilessly slashed down on Orb's Color Timer...

Huh? Maga Balrog suddenly realized that his hand was being forcibly grabbed. Zetton held his wrist tightly and then punched him in the chest, causing Maga Balrog to release Orb and stagger back several steps.

Seeing that Zetton had actually made a move, Maga Balrog tilted his head, then rushed forward and engaged Zetton in combat.

The longer the fight went on, the more Leo realized the crux of the problem. The Maga Flame Demon before him was a cold and ruthless machine. No matter how Zetton attacked it, it seemed to feel no pain and did not even defend itself, relying entirely on its skin, which was as strong as that of Maga Grand King, to withstand the attacks.

Ultimately, the Maga Balrog is not a living being at all; it is merely a mass of darkness that transformed after absorbing the Kirieloids. It feels neither pain nor fear, only the desire to destroy and erode everything.

Relying on this special Meta Domain, Zetton was able to engage in a prolonged battle with Maga Balrog, because she could anticipate the opponent's movements and react accordingly. Maga Balrog also realized that this opponent was different from the previous Ultramen, so it proactively distanced itself from Zetton.

"This guy's getting serious, Jaden."

Just as Leo was on guard against any possible actions from his opponent, he suddenly saw Maga Balrog cross his arms in front of his chest with fists clenched, and dark purple energy emanating from his body, burning like flames around the Balrog's body. The surrounding temperature began to rise drastically to an unbearable level.

Then Maga Balrog opened his arms and teleported in front of Zetton. He was so fast that even Zetton didn't have time to react. Only Zetton's barrier opened automatically.

Maga Balrog remained undeterred and completely embraced the Zetton Barrier. Leo recalled the way the monster had attacked Blaze earlier, and a famous move flashed through his mind.

"What the hell?! Ultra Bomb?!"

Isn't that a skill from Ultraman Taro?!

Chapter 55 What Ampera Pursues

Above City S, the fighter jets of the Victory Team's Flying Swallow II and the Silver Meteor Vanguard Team swept by, alert to any possible anomalies. Meanwhile, Nozue and Horii, who had arrived at the scene in Unit 1, were analyzing the situation.

"Captain, according to our analysis, Zetton should have imitated Ultraman Nexus's energy and created another dimension in the space of S City."

"So in a sense, they are still here in S City, but it's like they're on a parallel line with us. We can't see them, and we won't be affected by them."

For Horii, this discovery was undoubtedly surprising and delightful. It was surprising that Zetton could mimic Ultraman's abilities, and delightful that the analysis and data obtained could be used to develop new devices. In the future, they could also use similar methods to create a space to fight monsters, which would greatly reduce urban destruction and casualties.

"But we can't support them either." Captain Munakata bit his lip, feeling extremely anxious. The powerful aura of Maga Grand King made everyone understand that he was definitely a terrifying enemy. Only Zetton and Ultraman Agul were probably no match for him.

Meanwhile, atop another building, Ren, separated by the dimensions of time and space, witnessed the changing battle situation and was horrified when he saw Maga Flame Demon unleash a move similar to an Ultra Bomb.

"It actually absorbed the light of the warrior who sealed him and turned it into his own power?"

In Ren's memory, the elemental warrior named Orb first used Reflection to break through the defense of the Earth Demon Beast MagaGrand King, and then used this Stribim Bomb to kill MagaGrand King. Before the opponent could recover, he sealed it with two revealed cards.

It is unimaginable that tens of millions of years later, the warriors' power would be used by darkness.

No, she couldn't hesitate any longer. Ren was extremely anxious. The only things she could do now, besides calling upon the monsters that obeyed the earth's commands, were these last options.

Qianli's figure disappeared at the top of the building. At the same time, Taganura also received the information and aimed at the sky above S City. Horii's detector suddenly started beeping an alarm.

"Captain, command! Get out of here immediately! As far away as possible! Hurry!"

Trusting Horii, everyone dispersed without hesitation and quickly flew away from S City. But this was the first time Shinjo had seen Horii so flustered. "What's wrong, Horii?"

"A very powerful energy reaction is coming!"

A sliver of starlight appeared out of nowhere in the sky above City S, then expanded into an enormous, blazing sphere of light, hanging in the sky above City S like a sun. Then, this sun exploded.

Xincheng only saw the fireball, as hot as the sun, suddenly explode. The scorching flames engulfed most of the city, and the shockwave, far stronger than a super typhoon, even uprooted the city's buildings. Even though he had flown several kilometers away from the city, Xincheng had to hold on tightly to the control stick to prevent his Flying Swallow II from being blown away by the powerful shockwave.

"Damn it, what on earth happened?" Shinjo couldn't help but curse. Several fighters from the Silver Meteor advance team were swept away to who knows where in order to cover them.

The massive explosion reduced most of S City to rubble, and the rest of the city was in ruins. Zetton, Galactron, and the four Ultramen fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

Leo felt unprecedented pain, as if he had been hit by a Zildar bomb. In the enclosed environment of the alternate dimension, Maga Flame Demon's Ultra Bomb was even more powerful than the Zildar bomb in terms of unit power. The Five Emperors would have died on the spot if they had been hit by this.

Unexpectedly, the alternate dimension, originally created to prevent the destruction of the city, has become an environment advantageous to the other side.

Zetton's condition was even worse; he could barely stand up anymore. Just now, Maga Balrog recklessly grabbed Zetton's barrier along with Zetton himself, restricting Zetton's teleportation. If Leo hadn't decisively summoned Galactron to use her barrier to block it, he and Zetton might have really died here.

Even with the double barrier protecting him, Leo could still sense that Zetton was seriously injured. Ignoring Zetton's bravado, he put her back into the Ultimate Fighting Device to rest, then jumped onto Galactron's shoulder and glanced at the four Ultramen who were struggling to get up from the ground.

They had just set up a barrier and were protected by Galactron, but they still inevitably suffered serious injuries. Gaia and Agul recovered the energy they had received from the earth when they landed, so they were able to recover little by little. Blaze, on the other hand, was just gritting his teeth and holding on because of his strong stats.

Orb was in a much worse situation. He had already been severely injured by Maga Balrog and then suffered such an explosive attack. The timer on his chest was flashing faster than the other three people, and he couldn't even get up.

In the sky, the thick black fog scattered by the explosion gathered again and then transformed back into the form of Maga Ragnaros. It stood there in the sky, arms crossed over its chest, looking down at everyone with the moonlight behind it, seemingly admiring the tragic scene it had created. Then, it looked at Galactron, who was still standing steadily, with some surprise.

Designed with the intention of "countering or even stopping the functions of Gilbaris when necessary", Galactron's greatest strength is her computer ability, but her defense is also very strong, even stronger than that of Maga Grand King. She just activated a double layer of defense, which is why she is in relatively good condition.

However, if possible, Leo didn't really intend to let Galactron fight tonight, because Galactron's condition was unstable, according to her own words. Leo hoped that she could adjust her condition first, but now, he could only let Galactron fight with him.

Inside the Fighting Device, Zetton stood up despite the pain all over her body. She knew that Galactron could only hold off the enemy, but could never defeat Maga Balrog, because Galactron only had higher defense than its opponent. Its true strength lay in its powerful computing ability as a mechanical monster.

From what we can see now, Maga Balrog possesses the power and techniques of Taro at his limit, the combat skills and super speed of the Kirieloids, and even the surface defense of Maga Grand King—he's a monster in every sense of the word.

Damn it, I should have teleported away before they charged at me. It was my carelessness that made the situation so tense.

"Big sister, your injuries are too severe. You won't be able to help if you go out now." Dimaga quickly helped Zetton lie down. "Let me go. I'm much better now. Big sister, you should continue to rest."

Given Zetton's current state, Dimaga really didn't dare let her continue. Maga Flame Demon was far stronger than Grand King, with its speed, strength, defense, and moves all being many times greater than Grand King's. Fighting it was practically like fighting a simplified version of Super Taro.

Even though Dimaga, who was difficult to defeat even King Maga Grand, would face a great risk in the battle against such a Maga Balrog, she still took the initiative to appear beside Leo and stand shoulder to shoulder with Galactron to face this terrible enemy, the Maga Balrog.

"Dimaga, how is Zetton..." Leo spoke each word as if he were gritting his teeth. Dimaga knew in his heart that he was concerned about Zetton and angry at the moment. "Big sister is seriously injured. The fighting device is gradually treating her. I'll help you first. Boss, control your emotions. Don't let anger cloud your judgment!"

Dimaga could sense that Leo's anger was rising like never before, which was exactly what she and Zetton had been worried about. Galactron was actively subdued rather than defeated and then recreated by the Battle Nerve, so a lot of information was unknown.

Anger and hatred are the emotions that most promote the growth of Reionics, but they are also the emotions that most easily cause them to lose control. Once they are blinded by anger and dominated by the Reiblood factor, Reionics will turn into machines that only know how to fight and kill.

Now, this anger is also reaching Dimaga, making her restless as well. But she understands; seeing Zetton so badly injured, she wants nothing more than to tear the Maga Flame Demon in front of her to shreds.

Since that's the case, then tear this guy to shreds! Eliminate him until not a single fragment remains!

Such thoughts appeared in Leo and Dimaga's minds at the same time, and even Galactron was affected. The longsword in her left hand directly transformed into a huge light blade, but due to the limitations of the underlying logic, she could not fight in full power mode. Firstly, it would aggravate the damage, and secondly, it would cause great destruction.

"Activate annihilation mode!"

Maga Balrog in the sky suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Galactron in the blink of an eye. He threw a punch that sent Galactron staggering back several steps. He was then hit by Galactron's beam of light. Immediately afterward, he raised his hand and used his wrist blade to block the blade that was aimed at his neck by Demaga.

In a pure contest of strength, Maga Balrog's power was not as great as Grand King's, and it could only be evenly matched with Dark Sword Demaga. Galactron then slashed down heavily with his sword, and Maga Balrog had no choice but to use the wrist blade of his other hand to block it. He was so heavily pressed down by Demaga and Galactron that the ground beneath his feet cracked.

If a contest of strength won't work, then let's compete in speed, Maga Flame Demon thought. The four Ultramen seized the opportunity when he was unable to move and released beams of light that struck him, causing a violent explosion.

"Kiri!!!" Although he felt no pain or fear, the obvious trauma made Maga Flame Demon realize that he had to get rid of those troublesome Ultramen.

Everyone also noticed that Maga Flame Demon's defense was far weaker than before, and its own defense would decrease after using the Ultra Bomb as a self-destruction method!

(Hey Reonics kid, here's a piece of advice: take your monsters and run. You can't beat this thing.)

Empera's voice echoed in Leo's mind. After watching for a while, she was certain that what she had been searching for all these years truly was on this earth.

(If I'm not mistaken, the thing in front of you isn't any monster or alien at all, but a part of the ultimate darkness. Even if it's just a small part, it's still a troublesome existence for you right now.)

(Judging from its moves, what sealed it was probably the power of Ultraman Taro, which it couldn't control well, otherwise you wouldn't have survived until now.)

Ultimate Darkness—this is a power that not only Emperor Empera, but all the dark forces in the entire universe dream of obtaining. As for why they want it? There's no need to explain now.

After searching for so many years, Empera never expected to find clues to the ultimate darkness on this planet, but in her current state, she has no way to try to seize it. Even in her prime, she could only take it one step at a time.

There is a rumor that Reiblood was able to rule the universe for tens of thousands of years because he obtained the power of ultimate darkness, and was even fearless of those legendary beings because of it. As for how he died, no one knows.

After Empera finished speaking, he realized that Leo didn't seem to have listened at all. He was just directing Dimaga and Galactron to keep attacking the other side. This time, his anger was extremely high, and he didn't care even if he had listened.

For Leo, Zetton was an important figure, like a comrade-in-arms and family. Of course, he would never let Maga Balrog, who had injured Zetton so badly, go. This emotion also affected Dark Sword Dimaga and the half-biological, half-mechanical Galactron. Their attacks became faster and heavier.

Galactron seized the opportunity, grabbing Maga Balrog's hand with the Galactron Axis on his back the instant he tried to escape, pulling him back while attacking simultaneously with Dimaga. The longsword in his left hand generated a huge blade of light, which, together with Dimaga's dark sword, pierced through Maga Balrog's body, sending him flying.

The Ultra Warriors were temporarily unable to participate in such a battle. The explosion had caused them considerable injuries, making it difficult for them to even stand up. Fujiwara Juri, meanwhile, was unable to find an opportunity to transform and fight in the sky.

Galactron and Dark Sword Dimaga seemed to have gained the upper hand, but Maga Flame Demon didn't care about the severity of his injuries and stood up directly. The huge wounds left by Dimaga and Galactron were being repaired and filled by the black mist in a visible manner.

An enemy that knows no pain or fear, possesses terrifying speed and strength, and even has such a powerful regenerative ability, truly makes one hold their breath in suspense.

(Ultimate Darkness cannot be defeated, but it will not transform into this form. It must have a core. You can either absorb and transform it or seal it away. Trying to do this will only lead to your death!)

Ampera was getting anxious. She was still counting on Leo to repair the Darkweave Cloth. What would she do if that kid died? She couldn't possibly die with him!

"Absorption and transformation or sealing, which is easier?" Leo glanced at the Ultramen who seemed to be discussing something. He was indeed very angry, but that didn't mean he had lost his mind. He had realized that it would be difficult to persuade the other side with physics alone. It was like Goku fighting Buu in Dragon Ball. You could fight him however you wanted, and you could beat him, but you just couldn't kill him or outlast him.

(None of them are simple. If you try to absorb, transform, or seal them, this guy will definitely cause a massive explosion like the one we just saw. You guys won't be able to withstand a second round.)

Maga Flame Demon does die after using the Ultra Bomb, but if he were to do it a second time, even the nearby shelters might not be able to survive. Leo absolutely cannot let that happen.

“I know you have a way, Emperor. As the Emperor of the Dark Universe, since you know about this Ultimate Darkness, you must have a way to deal with it!”

Leo was right. Emperor did indeed have a plan. Since he had planned to obtain this power long ago, how could he be unprepared? "Why should I tell you?"

“Because I’m not going to run away, Empera. At most, I’ll just sever the life link between Zetton and the others and me. If this guy really wants to blow this place up, then the only one who will die with me is you.”

This was a threat. In all her years, this was the first time anyone had dared to threaten her like this. It amused her, angered her, but she had no other choice.

(That's fine, but I'll need to use your body occasionally in the future, and please prepare plenty of food for me.)

Food? Leo smiled. Couldn't this Emperor Ampera come up with another reason to lie to people, or was he simply too lazy to find a better excuse?

But there's nothing I can do; Leo doesn't have many options left now.

Chapter 56 The Dark Sparks Guarded by Renlong

The wounds that would have killed any monster were healed in just a dozen seconds on Maga Balrog. He seemed to finally be getting serious, and his energy converged as he slammed his hands heavily into the ground, causing countless hard stone pillars to erupt around Dimaga and Galactron, restricting their movements.

Then, Maga Balrog clenched his left fist and placed it on his hip, raised his right hand high, and then placed both hands on his sides. His body emitted a blue-purple light, which for a moment even distorted the surrounding moonlight. This was the starting stance of the Strium Ray!

Leo recognized the move, but the opponent's charging speed was much faster than what was shown on TV, and there was no time to dodge.

Demaga decisively unleashed his Molten Iron Ray, and a magic circle-like disc appeared on Galactron's chest. Galactron then fired his Spark, which, together with Demaga's Molten Iron Ray, clashed with the Flame Demon Strium Ray released by Maga's Flame Demon.

The collision of their beams created violent energy fluctuations, turning the already ruined area into dust. Dimaga and Galactron struggled to hold on, but Maga Balrog showed no signs of fatigue and had inexhaustible energy, even increasing its output to push through.

"This is Leo. Aim for the uncovered areas behind the enemy!"

Leo had just noticed that Maga Balrog's back wasn't covered by Maga Grand King's armor. This was probably because Leo and the others had interrupted its formation process before it was fully formed. Otherwise, they would be facing something even more incredible now.

The moment Leo's voice appeared, the GUTS team members, who were already prepared, immediately knew their target and decisively pressed the fire button.

"Texas Beam Fire!"

"Super Heat Beam Firing!"
