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

She aimed the fighting device at Chi You and focused her mind, following the vague information she had received.

The next moment, something magical happened.

The silent behemoth Chi You's massive body suddenly emitted a soft light, and its entire form rapidly became ethereal and shrank, eventually transforming into a thick stream of light that was absorbed into the fighting device in Banami's hand!

The combat device vibrated slightly, and one of the empty slots was instantly lit up, revealing a miniature, ferocious image of Chi You.

"S-succeeded?"

Banai was both surprised and delighted, but then she was stumped: "But... but how can I use it to help?"

As she frantically studied the fighting device, trying to figure out how to operate it, a girl's voice, tinged with a hint of reproach and urgency, suddenly rang out directly from the device, echoing in her mind:

"Idiot! Let us out first!"

"Danzhu, do not be rude." Another, more composed and calm female voice followed, carrying a reprimanding tone.

Startled by the sudden sound, Banami almost threw the fighting device away. She looked at the device with suspicion and saw three extremely small, human-shaped lights and shadows quietly appearing next to the slot representing Chi You.

Immediately afterwards, the tiny figure in the very center, which was also the clearest, stepped forward. It was a phantom of a woman wearing an exquisite phoenix crown and a gorgeous palace dress. Although it was only the size of a thumb, it exuded an air of elegance, nobility, and inviolability.

The illusory figure bowed slightly in the direction of Hanami, and its ethereal and clear voice entered Hanami's mind directly:

"My name is Ji Lin. Along with Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu beside me, we are the people who sealed this beast in ancient times."

"The situation may be a little complicated for you, young lady, but the young master who is fighting a powerful enemy in the sky has done us three a great favor. We humbly request that you allow us to use this beast's body to help the young master."

……

……

In the sky, two figures stood with their four hands locked together, their dark blue and silver-white energy clashing violently and sparking countless twisted arcs of electricity.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."

The color timer on the black and silver giant's chest had already begun to flash.

"I adhere to the principle of not working overtime,"

Torregia, however, still wore that confident yet unsettling smile, but his voice carried a barely perceptible chill:

"Still not going to change your mind? My dear Light of Noah, your time and energy are running out. If you continue to resist like this, in order to save my precious time after get off work, I will have no choice but to... kill you."

A sense of impatience had begun to rise within him.

He had assumed that Noah's Light, who could betray the Yapools without hesitation, would be a wise man, unlike the pedantic fellows of the Land of Light, someone who knew how to assess situations and even understand his aesthetics of chaos.

But now it seems that in insisting on the so-called "light," there is no difference; the same naivety, the same... folly.

However... it seems there's still room for "salvage"?

With that thought in mind, Torregia decided to hold back no longer.

He planned to use absolute force to forcibly tear apart the opponent's light and taint that hidden possibility with the color of chaos.

This is not difficult to do. The great evil god Grimd, who resides in his body, existed before the birth of the universe and possesses chaotic power that surpasses both the power of light and the power of darkness.

Chaos is the source of light and darkness, and also their end; it naturally possesses the power to corrupt light.

"Since words cannot convince you, then let you experience firsthand... what true power is!"

Torregia chuckled, and azure and dark lightning gathered in his palm, a terrifying aura far surpassing anything before began to emanate from him!

The Great Power – a power that can awaken the darkness within humans or Ultraman and maximize the power of darkness.

"!!!"

Gu Nuo felt the terrifying power coming from his palm, but he remained silent, silently urging the light outside his body to its fullest extent.

And just then...

Phew—boom! ! !

A dazzling golden arrow, imbued with unparalleled penetrating power, shot upwards like a ray of dawn tearing through the sky, its force as devastating as a landslide! Its speed and timing were so precise that they even exceeded Toregia's expectations!

"Ok?"

Toregia let out a soft exclamation and subconsciously tried to raise his hand to defend, but the golden arrow had already grazed his arm where he was gathering power with perfect accuracy. Although it did not cause serious damage, it successfully interrupted his energy operation, and the dark blue light paused for a moment!

Somewhat surprised, he looked down and saw the blonde Valkyrie on the island, who had just put down the huge golden crossbow and was panting heavily.

"Ah……"

The surprise on Torregia's face was quickly replaced by a new kind of amusement. He turned back to look at Gu Nuo, his smile becoming increasingly dangerous:

"Is that your partner? She seems to be trying really hard to help you. Tell me... if I were to kill her right now, would you..."

His words stopped abruptly.

Because the moment his attention was drawn to Durandal, a violent, familiar energy surge suddenly erupted from behind him!

Rumble——! ! !

"?!!"

A thick, terrifying, dark purple-red bolt of lightning, like a roaring thunder dragon, struck Toregia squarely in the back where he was completely unprepared! The immense impact caused him to stagger, and sparks of energy exploded across his body!

Torregia turned around in surprise and saw that the N assassin Chi You, who had been lying on the island, had transformed into a raptor. His twisted giant wings, which had just been severed by Gu Nuo but had now been barely restored, were spread wide open, and a second lightning breath was gathering in his mouth!

"what?!"

Just as Torregia was momentarily distracted and injured, Gu Nuo, who was fighting against him, seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Gu Nuo lunged forward, his forehead slamming hard into Torregia's face!

boom!

With a muffled thud, Torregia was knocked backward by the sudden headbutt.

Gu Nuo immediately used the momentum to retreat rapidly, instantly creating distance. A flash of light appeared on his chest, directly deactivating his transformation state and turning into human form, landing on Chi You beside the horizon.

Then, the immortal power of the dog talisman and the healing power of the horse talisman in his pocket were activated simultaneously, instantly dispelling fatigue, healing all hidden injuries, and restoring him to his peak condition in an instant!

The light of the Evolution Trusters shone brightly once more!

The silver-black giant reappeared in the light, and the light from the timer on its chest turned back to azure blue!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye!

Tregear steadied himself in mid-air, shook his head, touched his face where he had been hit by the headbutt, and then, looking down at Gu Nuo who had instantly recovered to full strength and transformed again, he couldn't help but let out a cryptic laugh:

"Heh... In order to defeat me, you're actually going to use the power of that monster that just tried to kill you? I remember that guy beat you up pretty badly not long ago."

Gu Nuo looked at him calmly, shook her head, and clearly conveyed her voice through her thoughts:

“This is not exploitation; it is the help I receive from partners who trust and support me, and that is very precious.”

He paused, as if thinking for a moment, then continued in a questioning tone:

"You're Ultraman too, aren't you? From the Land of Light, where are your partners?"

"..."

The seemingly unchanging, playful, and composed smile on Torregia's face froze instantly.

All sounds, whether laughter or words, ceased abruptly in that instant.

For the first time, the eyes hidden beneath the mask turned truly and utterly cold.

Chapter 57 Prisoner: You dare use an Ultra Bomb?! (4k)

Gu Nuo did not mean to mock the other party when she said those words.

His tone was actually very sincere.

Although his opponent was the strongest enemy he had ever encountered, with the timely assistance of Chi You dispatched by Banami and his own full recovery, he had already devised a way to defeat him.

It was at this time that he believed he had the ability to probe the other party's background or gather intelligence on their knowledge.

From the other party's previous words, Gu Nuo gleaned some key information—this giant who called himself Kirisaki was very likely an Ultraman from the Land of Light, or at least someone with a very deep connection to the Land of Light.

So... many questions arise.

Why did he come into this world? And why has he become so shrouded in darkness? Where does his power, a twisted fusion of light and darkness, come from? Why do those who trust in evolution feel such intense, almost instinctive, vigilance and rejection towards him? Does the Land of Light truly exist? Ultraman, Seven, Jack, Taro… do those Ultra Brothers we see in the series know about the current state of their brethren?

Gu Nuo felt that these questions were not without value.

Moreover, in the series he knew, Ultraman from the Land of Light, no matter what they went through, always seemed to be oriented towards "light" and "protection" at their core. Faced with this warrior who had gone astray, Gu Nuo, with sufficient fighting power on his side, also wanted to try to communicate with him, and even... had the opportunity to help him.

but……

"you……"

Torregia slowly put one hand behind his back. This gesture should have appeared elegant and composed, but when combined with the sudden surge of murderous intent around him that almost solidified, it only sent chills down one's spine.

His voice no longer carried any hint of mockery or playfulness, but was instead filled with an almost absolute coldness:

"And your little helper down there..."

His gaze seemed to pierce through space, sweeping over Durandal and Anna Hanami, who were on high alert.

"And everyone in that dilapidated spaceship over there on the sea..."

Finally, his gaze seemed to traverse a vast distance, locking onto the outline of a certain city.

"And every life in the city you were in, the city you wanted to protect..."

He paused slightly, each word like a poisoned ice pick, crashing down with devastating force:

"You... will die soon."

It was not an angry roar, but a calm declaration, as if stating an established fact.

...That means there's nothing to discuss.

Gu Nuo's last hope of trying to communicate was completely extinguished.

From the opponent's undisguised, even abyss-like, overwhelming killing intent, he clearly understood one thing.

……

……

The battlefield shifted from the sky to the turbulent sea.

Toregia no longer held back, facing both Gu Nuo and Chi You simultaneously without being at a disadvantage.

His speed was so fast that, with a flight speed of Mach 9.9, he would often appear on the other side before Gu Nuo and Chi You's attacks even arrived, either easily blocking them or casually unleashing a blue-black lightning bolt.

Faced with these lightning bolts, even Chi You, in his behemoth form and known for his defense, retreated repeatedly, his thick carapace exploding with bursts of energy sparks.

In close combat, he completely suppressed Gu Nuo, deflecting the silver-black giant's punches and kicks with more ingenious and tricky angles, followed by heavier counterattacks.

It was almost a game of cat and mouse. Torregia was not in a hurry to end it immediately, but rather like a cat playing with a mouse, he gradually dismantled the opponent's defenses and tried to break down his psychological defenses.

partner?

Torregia's eyes were as cold as knives.

This word was as distant to him as the light of the Plasma Spark Tower in the Land of Light—blinding and cold.

That radiant, ever-energetic figure, as bright as the sun, truly remained etched deep within his mind, like a brand.

However, leaving the Land of Light and embarking on a path completely different from the "light" they believed in, a different path leading to the end, was his own choice!

He has never regretted it!

there has never been!

"boom!"

The Torella Arute Caesar and Gu Nuo's layered storm collided violently. The shockwave from the explosion blasted the already exhausted Gu Nuo away, sending him crashing heavily into the sea and creating huge waves. The timer on his chest flashed even more rapidly.

The next moment, the familiar light shone and then went out. Gu Nuo deactivated his transformation and struggled to leap onto the back of Chi You, who had come to cover him.

"Here we go again? It's... disgustingly persistent!"

Torregia sneered, his patience finally exhausted, and he had no intention of giving his opponent any more chance to breathe.

He raised his hand, and countless dark light orbs poured down like a torrential rain, intending to devour Gu Nuo along with Chi You!
