What does it mean that the group members have given me back the light?

[Noah is still chasing me: It's a long story. Come visit the Hyperion once it's repaired.]

[Noah is still chasing me: image.jpg]

Gu Nuo took several pictures of the N assassins Chi You in front of him and their current location in the group and sent them out together.

Just as he was about to say something more in the group chat, a voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"It's a truly dazzling light."

Gu Nuo's pupils contracted slightly, and he turned around abruptly.

A man dressed in asymmetrical clothing—his left half pure white and his right half pitch black—suddenly appeared there, a playful yet seemingly genuinely admiring smile on his face.

The man chuckled softly, his tone languid and teasing:

"I didn't expect you to take care of that noisy clown from Yapool so quickly. I thought I was going to be there for an even more spectacular farewell performance."

"……Who are you?"

"Me?" The man bowed slightly with an elegant air, performing a somewhat exaggerated gesture of respect. "Nice to meet you. My name is Kirisaki."

He straightened up: "You don't need to hide it from me. The aura of the first light in the universe on you is as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the darkness for those with keen senses—the Light of Noah, which everyone calls the light of justice and miracles... It sounds a bit disgusting, doesn't it... Logically speaking, I should hate you very much."

Kirisaki spoke, his words filled with malice, yet his tone carried a strange admiration.

“But,” he changed the subject, his smile deepening, “I like the colors you wear… and… your style when facing the enemy.”

The moment he finished speaking, something unexpected happened!

A fist shot out of the air beside Kirisaki's face without warning, striking his temple! The speed was astonishing, and there was absolutely no warning of any energy fluctuations!

However, Kirisaki seemed to have anticipated this, and with that unchanging smile, he casually raised his hand—

"Snapped!"

His hand precisely caught the incoming fist, remaining completely still.

"Oh?" Kirisaki tilted his head, looking in the direction from which the fist came. There, another Gu Nuo's figure slowly emerged from the transparent concealment, his face bearing the same expressionless expression.

"This isn't how a Warrior of Light should fight!"

Kirisaki looked at Gu Nuo, who had just met him, with a mocking tone: "You actually used your fists and feet on someone you just met, and even used a clone to ambush them? ...What if I'm a good person?"

Gu Nuo remained silent and did not answer.

But alarm bells were already ringing in his mind. From the moment he first saw the man who called himself Kirisaki, a strong sense of crisis gripped his throat. At the same time, the Evolution Trust in his arms was flashing at an unprecedentedly rapid frequency, as if reminding him that the person in front of him was extremely dangerous!

"I'd like to invite you to join our performance."

Kirisaki maintained that unsettling smile and revealed his true purpose:

"Noah's Light, you think so too, don't you? Light doesn't necessarily have to represent justice. The world actually has neither light nor darkness. Nothingness is the most real world. We can work together to make this world more... real."

Just then, a golden meteor fell from the sky and crashed heavily between Gu Nuo and Wu Qi, creating a shockwave!

As the dust settled, the figure of a blonde girl was revealed. She held the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand, her expression more solemn than ever before, her azure eyes fixed on Kirisaki.

It was Durandal! After quickly clearing out the remaining Honkai Beasts on the Hyperion's deck, she didn't linger and immediately rushed to the center of the energy burst, arriving just in time.

"Be careful, Gu Nuo."

Durandal said in a deep voice, "This person... I see him. He has the same light as you, but that light is also enveloped and distorted by a deeper, more vast darkness... He is a giant unlike you..."

...So...he's actually Ultraman too?

Gu Nuo nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

Without hesitation, he activated the power of the Horse Talisman. A soft white light instantly flowed through his body, healing the fatigue and hidden injuries accumulated from the previous battle. At the same time, he closed the Tiger Talisman that had been split in two, and the clone that had been captured by Kirisaki turned into a stream of light and returned to his body.

Kirisaki watched Gu Nuo's series of actions and shook his head helplessly:

"Not only did you reject my offer, but you're also preparing for battle? How disheartening! Do you want to fight me right here?"

Gu Nuo ignored him and instead turned to Durandal, quickly giving her a brief instruction:

"A girl will be teleported over in a bit. She might do something after seeing this monster, but please don't stop her. She's my friend."

Having finished explaining, Gu Nuo didn't waste any more words. His eyes sharpened, and he silently pulled out the Evolution Trustee that was flashing violently in his arms!

"Hmph..." Kirisaki chuckled with admiration upon seeing this, "You're quite decisive."

Without further hesitation, a blue-black mask appeared in his hand—the Eye of Torregia.

"Then let me experience this special light of yours for myself!"

A sudden burst of dark and azure light engulfed Kirisaki's figure in an instant!

Chapter 56 Prisoner, Where Are Your Partners? (Two Chapters Combined, 5k)

In the sky, two enormous figures, one silver-black and one blue-black, collided and separated at an astonishing speed, like two shooting stars moving in opposite directions, before crashing together again with even greater force! Each clash unleashed deafening explosions and scattered sparks of energy.

In a close-quarters all-out clash, the two giants' fists almost simultaneously dodged each other's block and slammed into each other's cheeks!

"boom!"

A heavy, muffled thud sounded at the same time.

The blue-black giant used the momentum to slide backward dozens of meters, casually touching the spot where he had been hit, and let out a low chuckle filled with pleasure and a hint of surprise: "Heh...that's interesting."

The silver-black giant remained silent. He flicked his wrist, and almost without pausing, he swung his arms, sending several rotating light wheels cutting through the air and attacking his opponent from different angles.

This is Gu Nuo's third battle today... no, in this short hour.

This frequency of continuous combat was not unfamiliar to him, but the level of the enemy he was facing this time was completely different from the past.

Apart from the original Ace Killer, whether it's the ultimate super beast Chi You or the man in front of us who calls himself Kirisaki, their level of danger is far beyond that of ordinary alien beasts that acted solely on instinct in the past.

If Chi You was troublesome because of his unbeatable defense, his ability to devour, and the ever-changing forms that Yapool could manipulate...

Then the blue-black giant in front of us represents another kind of trouble—a mysterious and unpredictable fighting style, extremely agile speed, and combat skills that seem to see through everything and predict the future!

Faced with the incoming light wheels, the silver-black giant didn't even make a large dodging movement. He covered his hands with dark blue energy, and as if swatting away annoying flying insects, he precisely and lightly shattered the sharp light wheels one by one, his movements as elegant as if he were performing.

"But this level isn't enough." The blue-black giant chuckled, crossed his arms in front of him, and then swung them out—Torella Temno!

Ten massive crescent-shaped slashes, intersecting in blue, purple, and white, rained down on Gu Nuo like a tidal wave!

Gu Nuo immediately raised his shield to defend himself. The slash slammed violently into the shield, causing a series of explosions. The enormous impact pushed him backward.

"What exactly is this performance you're talking about?" Gu Nuo asked during a break in his defense.

"Huh? A performance?"

The blue-black giant continued unleashing his slashes while replying in his distinctive, almost aria-like tone:

"Of course, it's to create a new world that's good for everyone~~"

"As for what exactly it is?" he deliberately drawled, keeping everyone in suspense, "If you can beat me here, I'll tell you, how about it?"

Just then, the blue-black giant's figure vanished without warning!

The next instant, he appeared almost against Gu Nuo's back, his lips nearly touching Gu Nuo's ear, whispering in a soft, teasing voice that only the two of them could hear:

"However... even though you asked that, you weren't actually curious about the answer just now, but rather thinking about... what methods you could use to defeat me, right?"

The two clashed again in mid-air, their fists and feet exploding into a ring-shaped shockwave.

"But unfortunately..."

The blue-black giant's voice carried a hint of mockery:

"When I saw that the big guy below was almost completely unharmed, I roughly guessed how you won. That's really good. The Ultramen in the Land of Light these days only know how to shout things like 'friendship' and 'justice' and want to solve all the problems. You think much more than they do."

He suddenly pulled Gu Nuo's arm, and the two were frozen in mid-air, almost face to face.

"But,"

The blue-black giant's voice suddenly changed, and he laughed confidently: "Unlike the puppet super beasts whose weakness lies entirely in their manipulators..."

He exerted his strength suddenly, and a burst of dark energy erupted, forcibly pushing Gu Nuo back dozens of meters.

"...The chaotic power residing within me has no such weakness!"

Almost simultaneously with repelling Gu Nuo, the blue-black giant, without turning his head, casually slapped behind him—

"Clap!"

A golden arrow-shaped beam of light, silently shooting from his blind spot behind him, was precisely struck by his palm, which was wrapped in dark blue energy. As if shattering a piece of glass, it was easily crushed in his palm, and the energy dissipated into countless points of light, disappearing into the air!

"This little trick won't work the second time."

The blue-black giant said, while simultaneously raising his other hand, his fingertips gathering dancing lightning.

Torreira Kelpos!

Blue, black, and white lightning bolts shot out instantly, accurately striking the blue youth's clone before it could conceal itself again! The clone only held out for a moment against this powerful dark force before exploding and dissipating into countless particles of light.

Having easily dealt with the threat behind him, the blue-black giant turned around leisurely, faced Gu Nuo again, shrugged, and his tone returned to its infuriatingly sarcastic manner:

"See? Clever tricks are useless once they're seen through."

"To defeat me, you must unleash your true, overwhelming power, Light of Noah!"

……

……

"What...what is going on?"

Hanami Anzu stood on the desolate island, looking up at the sky in disbelief.

In the sky, two blurry afterimages collided repeatedly at speeds beyond her vision. Each clash erupted with thunderous roars and blinding sparks of energy. The terrifying energy turbulence was like a tangible gale, even affecting her and making it difficult for her to breathe.

It took her a lot of effort to convince herself to teleport over and receive the "unwanted monster" that Nono had mentioned.

Although I realize that my previous act of directly asking for help to find the monster was indeed a bit greedy...

But then I thought, I had asked my friend for a favor, and my friend had done it without complaint. If I were to refuse now because I was being coy and hesitant, wouldn't that be a waste of my friend's feelings?

Then... Anna saw a fierce battle in the sky...

This seems a little different from the typical monster she imagined...

Just as her mind went blank and she was at a loss, a clear and serious voice rang out beside her:

"Are you the friend Gu Nuo mentioned?"

Hanami was startled and turned her head sharply, where she saw a tall, elegant blonde girl.

The girl was covered in a streamlined, work-of-art-like golden armor, and she held a huge and magnificent golden crossbow in her hand.

At this moment, the golden crossbow was radiating a heart-stopping energy fluctuation. The bowstring was fully drawn, and an arrow made of pure light energy had already taken shape, its dazzling light almost blinding Banami's eyes.

When Banami saw that the girl's azure eyes were sharp as an eagle's, they were locked on two targets moving at high speed in the air, but the arrow that was ready to be shot was not released for a long time.

"I...I'm Anna Hachimi...and who are you?"

When Banai saw Anja asking somewhat stammeringly, the girl's attire and aura were far too overwhelming for an ordinary high school girl like her.

"Youlandel."

The blonde girl succinctly gave her name, her gaze remaining fixed on the battle in the sky:

"The situation is urgent. To make a long story short, Gu Nuo is fighting an extremely dangerous enemy, and we need to help him as soon as possible."

She quickly explained the situation, then glanced at the silent, mountain-like behemoth beside her.

"Gu Nuo instructed me that you seem to have a way to utilize this monster. Now, please do it immediately! This might be the key to breaking the deadlock for him!"

Help Nono? With this monster?

Hanami Anzu was completely bewildered by the information that rushed into her brain in a short period of time.

She turned her head and looked at the enormous creature that exuded a suffocating sense of oppression just by lying there, and a chill ran down her spine.

But seeing Durandal's determined and urgent gaze, and the increasingly intense battle roars in the sky, she bit her lip sharply.

"Okay!" Her eyes instantly hardened, and she nodded vigorously.

Without further hesitation, Banami quickly ran to the head of the giant beast Chiyou, which resembled a cliff face. Taking a deep breath, she took out the long, blue-and-white device from her bosom.
