Seven slowly shook his head, his eyes reflecting the slowly dissipating nebula, his gaze filled with complex emotions.
He said nothing, but everyone felt the weight of his silence.
"I followed the unusual spatial fluctuations to the planet Anu."
After a moment, Seven finally spoke, his voice hoarse and tired, "After dealing with a few low-level alien beasts, I detected a strong life force and a... faint distress signal."
He looked at the remnants of the nebula and continued, "The signal originated here. I thought it was from survivors, so I rushed over immediately. When I landed, all I saw were those innocent and harmless plant lives, and the vibrant life of this planet."
"But by the time I was ready to investigate further, it was too late."
Seven's fist clenched involuntarily. "The entire planet was alive. It used those plant-like people as a disguise and the planet's own life force as bait. By the time I realized what was happening, I was already entangled by countless vines, and my energy was being constantly drained. In the end, I could only use all my strength to unleash the Ultra Sign."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Even a seasoned and powerful warrior like Seven could fall into a trap unintentionally; the cunning and unpredictability of these alien beasts had exceeded their imagination.
They are too smart.
"We can't delay any longer."
Zoffy's voice broke the silence, his tone more serious than ever before: "Although this sector is temporarily isolated by Bruton's fourth-dimensional energy, it has ultimately been incorporated into our universe. Alien beasts can evolve, and every minute we waste here, they may evolve even more troublesome abilities."
The crisis is far from over.
"understand!"
Without needing to say anything more, the nine Ultramen exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
The next second, nine streaks of light of different colors once again pierced the silent universe, rushing headlong towards different galaxies.
The crackdown must continue.
Lin Yu had lost track of time.
He didn't know how long he had been fighting in this unfamiliar star sector.
There is no day or night in the universe, only eternal battles and traversals.
Instead of partnering with Camilla, he traveled alone from one planet to another, like the most efficient scavenger, sweeping away the cosmic debris known as "Alien Beasts."
He once descended upon an icy planet covered by perpetual blizzards, where alien beasts had evolved perfect resistance to the cold. They had become one with the ice and snow, like white reapers, hunting the last intelligent creatures on the planet called "snow apes."
Lin Yu didn't say much, but silently switched Tiga to its powerful form and used the Derashum Light Stream to melt the entire ice field, along with the monster's lair hidden below, into scalding steam.
He had also ventured into a cosmic graveyard composed of abandoned warships and mechanical wreckage. There, alien beasts devoured metal, transforming their bodies into semi-mechanical, semi-biological killing machines. Their sole pleasure was torturing and slaughtering the interstellar scavengers who eked out a living hiding among the wreckage.
Lin Yu looked at the aliens who had become numb in their despair and even started killing each other for a piece of energy battery, and just sighed softly.
Then, a beam of Zepelion swept across, obliterating the monster lurking in the chaotic ruins and bringing complete peace.
He witnessed too much.
There is a despicable aspect to humanity: driven to utter madness in despair, pushing companions toward monsters, all for the sake of surviving just one more second.
He then chose to reverse time in this area, witnessing the ugly people being judged a thousand times over, and saving everything.
Even in the face of doomsday, some still choose to ignite themselves, using their faint light to illuminate the path for those who follow, thus radiating the brilliance of humanity.
The darkness and brilliance of humanity are vividly displayed in this star sector ravaged by alien beasts.
Lin Yu's heart, too, grew colder and harder during this long period of killing and witnessing.
He no longer had any extra feelings or extra pity.
Discover, lock down, purify.
His movements became increasingly concise, efficient, and also increasingly... indifferent.
Finally, after clearing out countless planets, Lin Yu arrived at a desolate, dark region.
This is the end of this forcibly incorporated sector, and also the edge of the M78 universe.
Before him was an invisible yet clearly perceptible, intangible "wall".
On this side of the wall lies deathly silence and nothingness.
Beyond the wall lies another universe, a universe filled with savagery, devouring, and endless malice, a universe belonging to alien beasts.
Lin Yu slowly raised his hand, his fingers gently stroking the cold yet solid cosmic barrier.
His movements were gentle, but his eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent and an uncontrollable desire.
He wanted to go there.
He wanted to rush into that dark universe and completely eradicate the "cosmic plague" that was still multiplying and spreading from its source.
Kill them all.
Leave no one behind.
Once this thought arises, it's like a wildfire that can never be extinguished.
A figure bathed in endless carnage is reflected on the smooth cosmic barrier.
That wasn't the familiar composite form of red, purple, and silver.
Instead, it was a pure, profound, dark figure that seemed capable of devouring all light.
Lin Yu stared in stunned silence at his reflection in the wall.
Dark Tiga...
when?
Lin Yu fell silent.
He looked down at his dark palms, feeling the power within him that was completely different from the power of light, yet equally powerful, and even more violent.
No wonder.
No wonder he felt he was getting better and better at fighting. No matter how those alien beasts evolved or mutated, they were as fragile as paper in front of him, utterly vulnerable.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already switched to the form of Dark Tiga.
Fight magic with magic?
No, this is simply using darkness to crush darkness.
Lin Yu's lips twitched violently, feeling that he was about to lose his composure.
I'm even darker than the alien beasts!
Chapter 263 Tregear: Senior Tiga, I've realized something again.
Just then, a scorching heat suddenly emanated from the Evolution Trust in his chest.
A warm and vast consciousness flowed through his body like a clear spring, instantly calming his heart, which had become cold and restless due to endless killing.
It was Noah.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge in his heart that almost made him break through the cosmic barrier and rush over to wreak havoc.
He knew that Noah was reminding him not to be consumed by the desire to kill.
The dark giant stood silently in the boundless starry sky, exuding a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
"Senior Tiga... what is this...?"
A voice filled with shock and confusion rang out from behind him.
Lin Yu slowly turned around and saw that familiar blue figure.
It's Toregia.
He had already completed the clearing mission in his assigned area at some point and had come looking for him.
At this moment, the genius scientist from the Blue Clan was staring intently at Lin Yu with a gaze that had overturned his worldview.
He instinctively took a step back, seemingly overwhelmed by the pure aura of darkness.
But then he stopped.
A strong sense of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge overcame instinctive fear.
He even took a few more steps forward, getting even closer to Lin Yu, his pure white eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"senior……"
Toregia's voice trembled slightly as he asked earnestly, "The power within you... is it the power of darkness?"
"But I saw you unleash that holy light with my own eyes. You saved Aberstar and purified countless alien beasts..."
Aren't light and darkness absolute opposites?
"Why...why can they both exist in your body at the same time?"
Torregia's worldview is undergoing an unprecedented and violent shock.
He was always immersed in his own chaos theory. He questioned light and scoffed at darkness. He believed that the boundary between light and darkness was blurred, or even hypocritical.
However, the senior Ultraman Tiga before him showed him the most extreme light and the purest darkness.
These two forces, which should be irreconcilable, are perfectly unified in one person.
What exactly is going on?
What is the truth of this universe?
Torregia was in complete chaos.
Lin Yu looked at the Blue Clan genius in front of him, who was caught in a collapse of his worldview and self-doubt, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
What could he say?
Should I tell him, "Bro, don't overthink it. I just used a cheat code. This dark form is my initial skin, focusing on a return to simplicity." (Not counting Ultraman Tiga's original silver-gray initial form.)
Or is it that light and darkness are actually illusions, and although I am covered in dark skin, my heart is still a heart of light?
Lin Yu felt that if he really said that, Torregia might not have an epiphany, but it would definitely crash on the spot.
If this isn't handled properly, this future Chaos Demon might turn evil prematurely, and then who will he have to complain to?
"senior……"
Torregia's voice rang out again, his pure white eyes fixed on Lin Yu, filled with the fervor and confusion of a seeker of knowledge facing ultimate truth.
"Please tell me, why is this?"
Lin Yu remained silent for a moment.
He slowly withdrew the dark aura that almost froze the space around him, and his deep black body, in the cold universe, exuded an extreme sense of aloofness and tranquility.
"Tregear."
Lin Yu spoke, his voice calm, without the warmth of light or the coldness of darkness, but simply a pure will belonging to himself.
"What do you think light is? And what is darkness?"
Instead of answering directly, he asked a more fundamental question.
Torregia was stunned.
He hadn't expected the other person to ask such a philosophical question.
He pondered for a moment, then answered in an inquiring tone: "Light is order, hope, and the justice upheld by the Space Garrison. Darkness, on the other hand, is chaos, despair, and everything that stands in opposition to light."
"This is the standard answer from the textbook."
Lin Yu shook his head noncommittally. "Then let me ask you again, what is flame?"
"flame?"
Torregia was even more confused, not understanding why the topic had jumped to this point.
"Fire brings warmth, cooks food, and illuminates the darkness; it is the cornerstone of civilization."
Lin Yu's voice was calm and unhurried, "But it can also burn forests, destroy cities, and bring death and destruction."
"So, is flame light or darkness?"
Torregia's blue body trembled slightly. He seemed to understand something, but it was as if he hadn't grasped anything at all.
Lin Yu didn't give him much time to think and continued, "Power itself has no distinction between good and evil. Whether it's light or darkness, it's just a kind of energy, a tool."
He raised his dark hand and slowly clenched his fist.
