I'm in another world, and I start out transformed into Lancelot.

"I guess I still have to use it..." Jugglus's tongue unconsciously brushed across his palate, and the gloom in his eyes was replaced by a dangerous yet mischievous glint of anticipation.

As if sensing its master's emotions, the dark ring quietly floated above his palm, emitting a dim halo.

Using the Five Emperors to properly "entertain" those two ignorant and reckless youths, Haruki and Zeta, is simply the perfect way to vent their anger!

At the very moment that malicious thought, like a venomous snake, completely coiled around his mind, Haruki, who was doing the final checks on King Gyo with Yoko, and Zeta, who was humming along in the Riser space, both sneezed loudly.

Chapter 147 Can Your Tears Save the Earth?!

"Zeta! Haruki! Don't run! Charge towards the Five Emperors!"

A crisp shout, brimming with the air of someone watching a show, echoed through a high-powered megaphone that appeared out of nowhere, reverberating in the strange, pale golden light of the alternate dimension.

Amid Rose's enthusiastic commentary, Ultraman Zeta Beta Impact Form was being chased and rolled around on the ground by the Five Emperors.

"Waaaaaah—! Help! Zeta-san! It's catching up!!!"

Boom! The giant claw, powered by the power of Golza, slammed down, grazing Zeta's back. The ground cracked instantly, and debris flew everywhere.

Zeta (Beta Impact Mode) rolled awkwardly, narrowly avoiding the Melba Beam fireball that followed closely behind from high above.

This scene, coupled with the background music that was forcibly inserted and looped from Rose's loudspeaker: "I can't fly out of this colorful world~ It turns out I'm a~ drunken butterfly~" (let's assume it's the Japanese version), created an extremely absurd and despairing picture.

"This is supposed to be a world where people cry from being beaten!" Zeta's voice was trembling with tears. "When the Beta Impact punch hits it, it doesn't even budge! It's like being tickled!"

The originator of the "glamorous world" was Dr. Rose.

"It's necessary for the plot," she declared, and then fused the Water Mirror Magic Morgan version, which had been enhanced and modified by the "negative mass dust" generated by the annihilation of Greiza, with some "accidentally collected" Greiza phase fragments.

They specially created this sturdy alternate dimension cage, which is designed so that "you can't get out until you completely defeat the five emperors inside."

She was currently floating comfortably in mid-air on a makeshift energy platform, munching on popcorn and watching with great interest.

At the start of the battle, Zeta in his Delta Claw form was relatively composed, with Belial Twilight in hand, its purple, destructive energy swirling around him. He let out a low shout, attempting to charge forward: "Belial Twilight! Cooperate with me!"

"Hmph." The Demon Sword snorted lazily, glancing at the Five Emperors who were displaying their might. "Familiar aura...boring." Belial's voice was full of weariness. "Don't expect me to go all out in this childish farce."

Before he could finish speaking, the demonic sword flashed with purple light and, to the astonishment of Haruki and Zeta, it detached itself from Zeta's hand, turning into a streak of light and disappearing without a trace, leaving only the words, "Good luck to you."

"Hey—!!! Belial Twilight, you bastard!!!" Zeta in Delta Claw form was so angry that he jumped up and down. Without that magic sword that could cut through space and ignore defenses, the light in Delta form was just like scratching a itch!

In desperation, the two young men panicked and started trying anything they could find. "Zeta-san! Use your most durable form to hold it off!" Haruki shouted in a moment of madness.

A burst of light—Beta Impact Form reappears!

This heavy armor form, known for its strength and resilience, actually let out a low roar under the control of the two desperate young men, raising its arms and attempting to head-on withstand the full force of the Five Emperors' charge with its broad chest and thick shoulder armor!

"..." The silence in Jugglus's heart was deafening.

The result was obvious. With a loud "boom," Beta Impact was like a sandbag being hit by a giant hammer, instantly sent flying by the immense force, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

No matter how they tried to use Alpha Blade's quick attacks or Gamma Future's beam harassment (due to their unstable mentality, they performed poorly), all their beams and punches landed on the Five Emperors as if they had sunk into the sea, without even a spark.

In Zeta's main consciousness space, the two young people were panting heavily, their energy flowing away rapidly like a floodgate being opened.

From initial high spirits to being completely crushed, and then to trying all methods to no avail, the immense sense of frustration and powerlessness almost consumed them.

Those diamond-like eyes were now "watery" with extreme grievance, pain, and endless despair.

"Give up already? You two!" Rose's blood pressure-raising voice rang out again, the power of the megaphone piercing through the entire space. "Tears? What good are tears! Can shedding golden tears save the earth beneath our feet? Can they protect humanity behind us?"

Her tone mimicked that of a disapproving instructor, "Are you just going to wait for someone to rescue you?! Show some of the spirit expected of warriors of the Land of Light! Fight! Never give up until the very end!"

Jugglus Juggler, who was elegantly watching (and controlling) the show inside the Five Emperors, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this "encouragement": "This guy... has really taken depravity to a new level."

However, upon further reflection, he realized that while Rose's words were harsh, they were also the truth. Although he was somewhat reluctant to leave those fools in the armory and those three special operations aircraft, he knew he would have to leave sooner or later.

Rose, that troublemaker, will only run away faster. Once they're all gone, this blue planet will only be able to rely on Haruki and Zeta.

They're in such a panicked and disorganized state right now, how can we let them get away with this? We need to be ruthless... to truly unleash their potential!

The last trace of amusement in Jugglus Juggler's eyes vanished, replaced by the cold determination of a "trial officer." His frustration at being found out by Gai about "raising children on Earth" was now perfectly transformed into motivation to train his juniors.

"Roar—!!!" The Five Emperors Faebu seemed to sense the will of the controller, and its huge body let out a deafening roar!

Gan Q’s massive maw suddenly opened, and the energies of Golza and Melba began to intertwine and converge within it, while Rechubas’s freezing air and Super Gob’s destructive particles surged violently around him!

The energy reaction of the ultimate finishing move, [Catastrophe Spark], surged violently, causing the alternate dimension to tremble, and the platform beneath Rose's feet shook several times.

A deadly sense of threat pierced Zeta and Haruki's senses like solid ice. This was no ordinary attack; it was the beginning of annihilation!

"Haruki! No! We can't withstand this!!" Zeta's voice was filled with unprecedented terror. Haruki stared at the gigantic maw, which resembled a black hole brimming with destructive power; the shadow of death was clearer than ever before.

But on the edge of this extreme fear, an even stronger will—the will to protect the Earth, to protect one's companions, and to prove oneself—erupted like a dormant volcano!

The smiling faces of the Armory members flashed through his mind, as did Sevenger and Windom, and everything they had protected together. Haruki clenched his fists. "Zeta-san! We can't run away anymore!!"

At this critical moment, the two, driven to the brink of despair, seemed to have a sudden inspiration. Their Gamma Future form was activated, not as a human shield, but as a bridge to communicate with the power of distant stars!

Zeta clasped his hands together in front of the color timer, and an unprecedented burst of dazzling seven-colored light erupted!

The ancient giants of light, the pioneers of miracles, the will of the earth—Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna, and Ultraman Gaia! Three legendary lights from a parallel universe, responding to the call of the Gamma Future, project their power here!

Three streams of light, each symbolizing a different origin yet equally powerful, merge and intertwine to form a super energy beam that tears through chaos!

Boom!! This ultimate attack, combining the power of the three heroes, struck Garen Q's gaping maw with precision and ferocity! An unprecedented and terrifying energy shockwave erupted!

Crack—! A tooth-grinding sound of space shattering rang out, not from the Five Emperors, but from this indestructible alternate dimension constructed by the [Water Mirror Magic - Morgan Version] combined with fragments of Greiza!

The forced manipulation of the three heroes' illusions caused spatial interference, coupled with the energy intensity inside Rose's specially designed space instantly exceeding the critical point, finally brought this pale golden "flowery world" to its limit!

Like a shattered glass dome, countless golden spatial cracks instantly filled the field of vision, and the pale golden light wall crumbled and collapsed inch by inch!

The massive figures of the Five Emperors were forced back several steps by the enormous energy impact, and the [Cataclysmic Spark] that Gann Q was brewing was abruptly interrupted and backfired, exploding into a violent burst of energy sparks.

Jugglus clicked his tongue in surprise.

Pale golden spatial fragments, like countless golden butterfly wings, danced in the scattering energy storm before gradually dissipating. The familiar cityscape—the outline of the armory training ground—was faintly visible through the shattered spatial barrier.

"It's...it's a success! The space has been broken!" Yaohui's voice was filled with the ecstasy of surviving a disaster and deep exhaustion.

Zeta's color timer on his chest flashed red rapidly; that last attack had almost exhausted all their energy. He watched the fading illusion of the three heroes, his eyes filled with incredible shock.

Beta Impact couldn't break through the defenses, and Delta Claw was without its sword. But at the most desperate moment, it used the secrets of the future of Gamma to communicate with the power of legend and break this impossible cage!

Rose stood on the platform, put away the megaphone, and the expression on her face was no longer purely mocking, but contained a hint of barely perceptible appreciation. She murmured to herself, "Finally... I'm getting the hang of it."

As Jugglus Juggler felt the spatial barrier crumble, the figure of the Five Emperors vanished without a trace, transforming into a black and red light before the space completely collapsed.

He himself appeared silently in the shadows at the edge of the training field. His face was expressionless, except for a hint of interest in the fingers that were gently stroking his chin.

"Hmph, it seems they haven't completely made no progress." He glanced at Zeta and Haruki, who were so tired they could barely stand, but whose eyes were shining with a new light. "However, they're still a long way from truly graduating."

The first round of testing for the "Racing Jeep Training Program Pro," filled with Rose's wicked humor and Jugglus Juggler's ruthless tactics, finally came to an end with the shattering of space and Zeta Haruki's extreme burst of power.

Chapter 148 Graduation Exam Paper - Satellite Fall and the Will to Protect

The laboratory's temperature control system emitted a low hum, and under the lights, Rose's figure was enveloped in a cold white halo.

She had changed back into the professional attire she wore when she first came to this world, a pure white lab coat over a black silk cheongsam, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements.

“Doctor,” Zero the soybean ball hovered beside the jar, “the Cerebro brainwave simulator has been iterated to version 3.7.”

"Data record sealed." Rose didn't even look up, her fingers quickly tracing across the virtual keyboard to generate a new analysis report. "Zero, prepare the El phase projection field according to the predetermined coordinates."

"Understood. Target altitude setting: Stratosphere critical point. Output mode calibration: Satellitedrop... Phase generator start-up warm-up."

The Zero core shimmered with an orderly glow. It knew exactly what the Doctor needed to do—to bring a more direct and resounding end to last night's "Five Emperors Training," or rather, to deliver the real graduation assessment.

Meanwhile, at the armory base, two young men were chatting in Zeta's Magic House during their lunch break.

"Zeta-san, I think I was having a nightmare last night..." Haruki rubbed his wrists, feeling a dull ache in every bone in his body. "The feeling of the Five Emperors charging at me...it felt so real!"

“Oh! Haruki! I understand!” Zeta’s voice was filled with lingering fear. “That feeling of oppression… I never want to experience it again! But after going through that ordeal, our teamwork and willpower should be stronger, right?”

As the break ended and Yaohui stepped into the operations room, the piercing air raid siren suddenly shattered the tranquility of the armory base, and a scarlet [orbital falling object warning] popped up on the holographic screen in the main control room.

High-orbit mass body detected exceeding critical velocity! Plunge coordinates locked directly above this base! Yuka's scream echoed throughout the armory via the broadcast system.

Yao Hui looked up abruptly, his pupils shrinking! What was projected onto the main screen was an unimaginable "meteor"—no, it wasn't a meteorite!

It was a colossal artificial satellite materialized from extreme energy, resembling an alloy and lava! It was covered by a cold metallic structure, and its core surged with terrifying, azure energy.

It is tearing through the thin atmosphere, carrying unparalleled kinetic energy, and crashing towards Earth!

"Haruki! It's an emergency, let's perform Ultra Fusion!"

"Oh!"

Shota Hebikura, who had just walked to the window with his coffee, suddenly stopped and looked up at the huge projection in the sky that was enveloped in energy glow and emitted a destructive wave that could instantly evaporate even a special air force aircraft.

He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Wow... this graduation exam really went all out. This exam paper is way more exciting than my Jeep."

—On the high-altitude battlefield—

Buzz—Boom!

The satellite's enormous projection did not fully contact the atmosphere, but the sheer amount of energy released created a substantial shockwave, like an invisible giant wall pressing down!

"Ughhhhh!!!" Zeta was forced to fall a distance by this pure energy wind pressure, every inch of his body screaming warning of its destructive power!

"Zeta-san! Hold on!!" Haruki gritted his teeth and struggled to steady himself, but the suffocating energy surge made him feel like his soul was being torn apart!

"Such a terrifying thing... we absolutely cannot let it crash into Earth!" This thought filled the mind of both the human and the Omega.

Dr. Rose's cool voice suddenly rang out, clear as if whispering in someone's ear: "Ultraman Zeta, member Haruki Natsukawa."

The voice seemed to originate from the core of that massive "satellite," saying, "This is the final exercise I have prepared for you. Use your strength—prove that you are capable of protecting this planet in this vast sea of ​​stars."

There was no way out, no room to dodge!

A massive shadow loomed over the sky, bringing with it an absolute sense of oppression and an aura of destruction. Its mere existence nearly crushed the two's indomitable will.

“Haruki…” Zeta’s voice trembled, from the destructive pressure and the overwhelming, despair-inducing threat. “…Can it be done?”

“Zeta-san…” Haruki stared at the approaching “star” of divine punishment, which seemed to be mocking their insignificance, and a flame suddenly ignited from the depths of his heart, defying his fear!

He recalled his humiliating defeat at the hands of the Five Emperors last night, the frustration of being "motivated" by the loudspeaker, and even more so, the lights of the armory, the trust of his comrades, and the weighty entrustment from his predecessors!

"Are you kidding me...? We...we promised to protect this planet!! How could we...be scared by something like this!!!"

"Oh my god!!! Haruki! You're right!" Zeta's diamond-shaped eyelight flashed with an unprecedented sharpness. "Let's—fight with all our might! Let's go!!!"

Zeta suddenly spread his arms wide! The color timer on his chest burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light! This was not the power of a certain form.

This is the most dazzling light that belongs to "Ultraman Zeta" itself, formed by fusing all their experiences, beliefs, bonds, and the deepest love and will to protect this planet into one!

The satellite's core energy, so massive it blotted out the sky, had reached its peak, and a blazing beam of light, enough to instantly vaporize half a continent, burst forth!

At the same time! Zeta (base form) unleashed the Ultimate Zestimm Ray, which carried the full will of both of them, resolutely towards the beam of destruction!!

boom! !

Two ultimate energies, representing opposing wills, collided violently tens of kilometers above the Earth's surface! It was a head-on clash between a chilling judgment and a burning will to protect!

An indescribable burst of light instantly engulfed everything! The epicenter of the explosion seemed to have detonated a miniature sun! The terrifying shockwave, like billions of sharp blades, completely flattened and evaporated the clouds and even the thin atmosphere high in the sky!

A massive, visible energy ring that covered the entire sky spread out rapidly along with the shockwave!

Zeta's light did not disappear; instead, it stubbornly withstood the judgment energy flow that was capable of destroying everything. The blue Zestimm light shone even brighter amidst the desperate roars of Haruki and Zeta!

"We...must...pass!...This Earth...is ours to protect!!!"

With the desperate cries of their souls, the torrent of light, imbued with the will to protect, finally pierced through the cold core of judgment!

Crack! Countless spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread from the center point across the massive "artificial satellite" projection surface, and azure energy escaped uncontrollably from the cracks!

The next second—BOOM!!!

A grand, cosmic-scale fireworks display erupted in the sky! The enormous satellite projection exploded completely from the inside out, transforming into a dazzling yet harmless rain of energy that scattered across the blue planet.

The aftershocks of the Zestimm Ray, carrying the will of Zeta and Haruki, stubbornly broke through the energy turbulence and shot straight into the deep universe, drawing a shining conclusion to this ultimate swan song.

The intense light faded, and a chilling wind swept through the high sky. Zeta's energy was nearly depleted; his massive body swayed slightly, and the color timer flashed rapidly red. Both of them were panting heavily, their mental and physical strength pushed to the limit.

A slight ripple spread through the space, and the mechanic's figure quietly appeared before them.

“…powerful strength, unwavering will…” Rose’s cool voice rang out, carrying an undeniable gentleness and certainty, “You have fully proven your undeniable qualifications to this starry sky, to the light that gave you power, and to me personally.”

She nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the two exhausted but determined young warriors: "Congratulations. You have passed the test, guardians of Earth."
