"Such arrogance! Well, you'll have to get past me first! Hey ya—!!!"

Just then, a portal opened without warning in the sky directly above their heads.

The next second, accompanied by an arrogant shout, a figure in red and blue descended rapidly from the portal. Its right foot, wreathed in scorching heat, struck both Mold and Judas, knocking them back simultaneously!

The one who instigated this kick, Zero, clad in the Shield of Paragi, was propelled by the reaction force, flipping in mid-air to dissipate the excess thrust before landing on one knee. He then slowly straightened up, raised his right hand, and rubbed his thumb against the tip of his nose. His bright eyes gleamed with undisguised smugness.

His movements were fluid and graceful, exuding the elegance and vigor of a young man, making his entrance incredibly impressive!

"Zero? What are you doing here? Where are Seven and Ace?"

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Zoffy rushed forward. Before he could even finish speaking, he grabbed Zero's arm and pulled him behind him to protect him.

Clearly, even though Zero's strength has already surpassed that of his peers, making him one of the best among the new generation of the Land of Light.

But in Zoffy's eyes, he was still a minor child who needed the care and protection of his elders.

So when Zoffy asked Zero about his rash decision to enter the battlefield, his tone inevitably carried a hint of anxiety and reproach. He was afraid that Zero might get hurt because of this impulsive decision.

"Hehe, Dad and the others might be a little late... but don't worry, I've hired other helpers, the kind you'd never guess!"

Caught off guard, Zero was pulled off his feet by Zoffy.

However, upon hearing the seemingly reproachful yet actually caring words from the person before him, a strange look flashed in Zero's eyes, and he no longer acted as disrespectfully as usual. Instead, he stood obediently behind Zoffy and responded mysteriously.

"Other helpers?"

However, when Zoffy heard these words, he felt no expectation at all, but instead sank to the bottom of his heart.

It's not that he doesn't believe Zero's words...

However, he knew far too well the strength of Mold and Juda.

Despite the fact that the Ultra Brothers seemed to have the upper hand in their previous encounters.

However, even when Taro was hit head-on by the Strium Ray, he failed to cause Juda the slightest bit of real damage!

So much so that, in Zoffy's opinion, only Seven and Ace could arrive in time to combine their powers into one and become Super Taro.

Otherwise, given the current strength of the Land of Light, probably no one could be a match for Mold and Juda!

For the future of the entire universe...

We must hold off Mold and Juda at all costs before Seven and Ace arrive on the battlefield!

Thinking this through, Zoffy secretly made up his mind and began to consider the corresponding battle plan. He had already done his mental preparation, ready to unleash the full power of the M87 beam at Mold and Juda at the necessary moment, even at the risk of destroying the planet!

While pondering, Zoffy instinctively looked up to observe the movements of Mold and Juda.

It was this action that caused Zoffy's thoughts to be interrupted, and he froze on the spot.

Because in front of him, Mold and Juda, who had been arrogant and domineering not long ago, were now looking up at the direction of the portal.

Zoffy could even see fear in their eyes that should never have been there before!

Yes, fear, pure fear!

It's as if they, who themselves are the source of fear and have brought countless killings and tragedies to the universe, have encountered something even more terrifying than themselves!

Juda's lips trembled slightly, and his greatsword slipped a little from his palm, hitting the rocky ground beneath his feet with a dull thud, but he was completely unaware of it.

Mold's reaction was even more intense than Juda's!

His usually violent and bloodthirsty face had turned ashen white! His right hand, gripping the battle axe, trembled uncontrollably. Facing a figure in the air, as if he had seen a ghost, he squeezed out a few words from the depths of his throat in a hoarse, almost shattered voice.

"You...you...you...you're still alive?! You're actually still alive! How could you possibly still be alive?!"

This question, tinged with obvious panic like a mouse seeing a cat, piqued Zoffy's instinctive curiosity. He couldn't help but turn and glance in the direction of their gaze.

Then, Zoffy shuddered and looked on with disbelief.

After a brief silence, he suddenly turned around and, together with his brothers who had also looked up curiously, stared at Zero in astonishment.

The latter, meanwhile, wore a satisfied smile, having successfully shown off, and shrugged, jokingly saying...

"I already told you, I brought a 'surprise' with me!"

As they spoke, the viewpoint shifted upwards, revealing a figure that shocked both sides.

At the exit of the portal opened by Zero, a silver and red figure, carrying the Giga Battle Device and wearing a bright red Ultra Cloak, stood in mid-air at the portal's exit.

In Zoffy's memory, Belial should have been parasitized by Reiblood long ago, and after dying and coming back to life repeatedly, doing sit-ups several times, he was finally killed by Geed himself!

So much so that Zoffy suddenly felt like his brain wasn't quite up to par...

What does it mean that Belial, who has been resurrected, has joined forces with Zero and come here specifically to help?

hiss……

Am I dreaming, or has the world gone completely mad?

Of course, Belial also noticed Zoffy's embarrassed state of being unable to process what was happening.

However, the doting father, who always spoils his child, didn't bother to greet Zoffy at all and slowly explain his origins to him.

He had keenly sensed something from Mold and Juda's unusual behavior...

These two guys know me!

In other words...

They were Mold and Juda, who should have died under their own Ultra Bomb, but for some reason, they, like themselves, were transported to this parallel universe!

Realizing this, Belial began to exude a powerful aura of dominance. He looked down at Mold and Juda as if they were two dying ants. His eyes churned with intense killing intent and rage, but also with a hint of almost pleasurable anticipation that sent chills down Mold and Juda's spines, making them shiver involuntarily.

Finally, Belial took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and slowly spoke.

His tone was enthusiastic and excited, as if he were greeting two long-lost old acquaintances.

But every word that was spoken was enough to make Mold and Joda's hearts skip a beat!

"Wow, they actually recognize me! Looks like I'm in luck. I thought I'd found a scapegoat, but it turns out to be two old acquaintances. Meeting old friends in a foreign land? Hahahaha! Heaven is really kind to me!"

"Luckily you weren't killed by my explosion... especially you, Mold."

"I've missed you so much—!!!"

Chapter 77 Belial: Break it open yourself?

Mold's pupils contracted sharply when Belial said, "I missed you so much." Confirming that the person before him was the madman who had almost killed him, the scene from that day uncontrollably flashed back into his mind.

That silver warrior, despite being covered in wounds and his body visibly cracked and dissipating, seemed oblivious to the pain, clinging tightly to Gua, who was the fusion of the three siblings.

Even now, the look in Belial's eyes when he shouted "Ultra Bomb!" is something that Mold has never been able to erase from his heart!

He had never seen that look in the eyes of any enemy.

There was not a trace of fear of death, only an almost manic pleasure and exhilaration, and a sense of relief and satisfaction that Mold could not understand at all.

It was as if death was not something he feared...

On the contrary, he thought that he had made a huge profit by trading his life for the lives of the three siblings!

This kind of madman who fears nothing and no one, even death, still caused Mold great psychological trauma, even though he knew he could be resurrected after death!

If it weren't for Gina's desperate effort to separate him from Joda just a second before the explosion, leaving herself to bear the brunt of the frontal blast alone.

If it weren't for that strange little golden man with a grotesque face who dragged them into a golden space, and then another little golden man with horns who threw them onto this planet to destroy the giant of light before them...

They've probably already been blown to smithereens by that madman's desperate attack!

Even so, besides feeling deep regret and longing for Gina, the two brothers couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Fortunately, I survived...

Fortunately, that madman had already blown himself up.

Fortunately, the two of them arrived in a completely different parallel universe.

Logically and emotionally, it's impossible to run into that madman again!

Little did they expect that, not long after they set foot in this parallel universe, the madman who had caused them severe psychological trauma would actually appear right in front of them!

Moreover, judging from that familiar look in his eyes, he is not some parallel universe counterpart at all, but the madman who is always about to self-destruct!

Even more deadly, Mold could clearly sense that the energy fluctuations emanating from this madman, although far less terrifying than when he forcibly absorbed 500,000 "reserve hidden energy" units, were still significantly stronger than when they first met!

If Belial, who ventured into danger alone back then, was merely a madman driven to the brink of despair, forced to choose to perish together with his three siblings to protect his comrades and homeland…

So, the Belial who appeared before them at this moment was a terrifying hunter who had come purely for revenge after his strength had matured!

So much so that, as Mold felt a chill run down his spine, he suddenly realized a very serious problem…

Now, without Gina, they can no longer reunite as Gua.

So, this madman, who fights without a care for his own life and only wants to kill him, and whose strength has increased considerably, will he still give him a chance to escape...?

Then, as if by telepathy, both Mold and Judas realized this at the same time, and both shuddered. And in that instant, they made the same decision.

escape!

Get as far away as possible!

We absolutely cannot let this madman catch up with us!

Almost the instant the thought crossed their minds, the two brothers turned around at the same time, completely disregarding whether the Ultra Brothers behind them might take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and fled with all their might in the direction away from Belial!

Mold even swung his battle axe to the side, creating a spatial rift in an attempt to teleport away from the planet.

This scene of frantic escape left not only Zoffy and the others, who were initially on high alert, dumbfounded, but even Zero was stunned in place.

He had indeed considered that this Belial from a parallel universe must be incredibly powerful...

Even so, no one expected that Mold and Juda, who were infamous in the Land of Light and had recently given Ginga and the others a hard time, would have no desire to fight when they saw Belial. They were so terrified by Belial that they ran away as fast as they could!

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not easy to meet an old friend like me, but you're in such a hurry to leave without even saying hello. Isn't that a bit too impolite?"

Seeing that Judas and Mold both chose to flee, Belial's smile grew even brighter.

He then raised the Giga Combat Device, pointing the tip of the staff in the direction where Mold and Juda had fled. The ancient civilization's blessing inscriptions on the staff shone like ignited stars under his energy infusion.

The next second, more than a dozen golden energy projectiles shot out simultaneously from the tip of the gigabit combat device, leaving behind a dozen dazzling arcs in the dim starry sky. They not only precisely destroyed the spatial rift that Mold had just created, but also, at that very moment, blocked Mold and Juda's escape route!

Finally, the powerful shockwaves generated by the explosions surrounding the two brothers forced them to stay in place as they fled!

At the same time, Belial not only radiated golden light from head to toe, but also once again activated his ultimate form. His figure, enveloped in the Ultra Cloak, streaked across the dim sky like a silver-red meteor.

In the time it takes to breathe, Belial crossed the spatial barrier between them and came to an abrupt stop behind Juda and Mold!

Of course, Belial did not waste the momentum brought by the high-speed flight. The Giga Battle Device, which he had already raised high above his head, was precisely smashed into Juda's head with the obvious bending of the staff, thanks to Belial's equally shocking numerical beauty!

The timing was perfect; just as Belial fired his energy blast to stop Mold and Juda, he inadvertently left a gap directly above them. Even though Juda heard the approaching sound of the flying object hurtling through the air, he didn't dare turn around to fight. In that instant, Juda instinctively leaped into the air!

So much so that Juda, who was so afraid that if Belial got involved, he would be dragged into self-destruction by Belial and was eager to escape Belial's attack range, ended up like an actor deliberately throwing his head to the ground, crashing straight into the Giga Battle Device with his own head!

Caught completely off guard, even with his exceptional physical abilities, Juda felt a sudden darkness engulf him. In his hazy state, he seemed to see Gina standing on the opposite bank of a strange river filled with red flowers, waving and calling out to him. Then, like a cannonball, he was struck by the blow and sent flying back to the ground. With a deafening roar and the resulting dust and debris, a crater a hundred meters wide was created!

"Little brother! Wait...you...you, you, don't come any closer—!!!!"

Of course, such a blatant display of force undoubtedly caught Mold's attention.

But when he turned around, he found that the BOSS, who had red eyes and whose body had undergone significant changes, was right next to him. It was clearly a BOSS who disregarded martial ethics and went straight into the second phase at the start.

The image of Belial wielding his eight-part beam of light, relentlessly slashing at her neck, flashed through her mind in an instant. Driven by an overwhelming will to survive, Mold disregarded his brother and turned to run!

"Zoffy, don't say your Uncle Bay doesn't take care of you. This is for you to play with."

Meanwhile, Belial merely glanced at Juda lying in the deep pit, softened his tone slightly, and without turning his head, threw those words at Zoffy and the others before slinging the Giga Battle Device over his shoulder and pushing his speed to the limit once again, catching up with Mold ahead of the others!
