Bighorn Bull is in charge of leading, and I, Beria, am in charge of raising it.

But in this particular timeline, seeing Ultraman Belial in danger, Ultraman Zero would react with the same anxiety as Belial's own son...

Indeed, this Belial is a special existence, extremely valuable for research!

For the sake of the kingdom's future, this Belial must be brought back to the kingdom!

Just as Tartarus was thinking this and was about to say something polite, a chill suddenly and unexpectedly crept up his spine.

When Tartarus, who possessed precognitive abilities and could predict his opponent's attacks to some extent during battle, instinctively turned his head in the direction of the sense of danger, the elegant and composed demeanor on his face vanished instantly!

From his perspective, a dazzling, almost blinding, azure light appeared on the flank of the battlefield! And it was hurtling towards Tartarus's face at a speed exceeding the limits of visual tracking!

Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was torn into distorted vacuum fissures, and even the ground was plowed out by the aftershocks, creating a trench tens of meters deep and hundreds of meters wide! The edges were even visibly scorched into a reflective glass-like material!

That was Zoffy's signature move, the M87 Beam!

Clearly, Zoffy also noticed Belial being ambushed.

Therefore, even though Zoffy in this timeline hasn't had any direct contact with Belial, the moment Belial made his move was enough for Zoffy to believe that the Belial from his memories had finally returned!

Having already lost Belial once, and now seeing that some smugglers were trying to kidnap Belial... no, it wasn't even kidnapping, it was outright robbery! This ignited a surge of fury within Zoffy!

By the time consciousness returned, the body, driven by instinct, had completely abandoned all concerns and immediately unleashed the full power of the M87 Beam at Tartarus with zero frames remaining!

This is why, even though Tartarus considers himself the ultimate life form, he doesn't believe anyone can threaten his life...

But when he sensed the terrifying pressure contained within the M87 beam that was hurtling towards him, a pressure that seemed capable of instantly obliterating everything in the world that came into contact with it, Tartarus, who always sought the best of both worlds, decisively chose to avoid the brunt of the attack! He opened a portal in front of himself, and before the portal was fully formed, he leaped into it and disappeared instantly!

Of course, thankfully...

Although Zoffy unleashed his full-power M87 Beam in a fit of rage, his last shred of reason allowed him to subtly adjust the angle of his attack the instant it left his hand.

Along with the azure light that had lost its target, it flew past the spot where Tartarus had just stood and continued its mad dash forward.

When the golden portal reappeared hundreds of meters away, and Tartarus emerged once more, he witnessed the M87 beam shooting diagonally into deep space. And within a mere two or three seconds, it chose another lifeless, barren planet not far from this one as its "lucky one," instantly exploding it into a dazzling firework display in the cosmos!

Such terrifying destructive power finally caused Tartarus's usually elegant and composed expression to turn grim and unpleasant. Forced to reassess the Ultra Brothers' fighting capabilities, he immediately ordered Hipporito to take the glass jar containing Belial and retreat to the kingdom!

Since I've already gotten what I wanted, there's no need to keep fighting with these crazy lunatics and waste the kingdom's precious fighting power!

After altering Belial's memories, he would then remove his petrification. This Belial, practically a walking succubus with an absurdly rapid growth rate—having awakened two new forms in such a short time—would become another formidable force for the kingdom…

Leaving aside how significant the improvement is in high-end individual combat capabilities...

Tartarus suddenly realized that he didn't need to go through the trouble of kidnapping Princess Julian. He could simply hold onto Belial as a special bargaining chip and try to force the Land of Light to submit and obediently give up the planet they depended on for survival.

Chapter 85 Tartarus: Are all Ultra Warriors this cunning?

Just as Zoffy's furious attack temporarily scared Tartarus away.

Geed and Kaiser Geed, who had flung Zero away, immediately increased their speed again and rushed straight towards the glass dome where Belial was imprisoned!

Especially Kaiser Geed, although he did not know the Hipporito aliens, his keen senses and intuition made him vaguely realize that killing this alien with an indescribable object on his face might be the key to Belial's "resurrection"!

Realizing this, whether to rescue Belial or to prevent the Hipporito aliens from causing trouble, Kaiser Geed made a decisive decision. Suppressing his displeasure, he sent Geed to break the glass dome, while he himself quietly changed course and headed straight for the Hipporito aliens!

Upon realizing Kaiser Geed's choice, Geed, who had always been alone and lacked family companionship, felt a warmth in his heart. He finally truly understood what it felt like to have brothers by his side.

With a quick glance at Kaiser Geed's departing figure, Geed accelerated again, arriving before the glass dome in the blink of an eye. He immediately raised his holy sword, ready to shatter this eyesore.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, a barrage of lightning-like energy attacks suddenly struck Geed from the side. Geed, focused solely on saving his father and completely unprepared, was thrown off balance and staggered.

When Geed regained his footing and instinctively turned his head, he saw Bai Bei standing with his arms outstretched, blocking Geed from the glass enclosure. Bai Bei spoke with deliberately drawn-out, sarcastic remarks.

"Oh, so you're the 'adopted son' Tartarus told me about, the one who'd kill me in the future? I'm practically your 'father,' isn't it a bit rude of you not even to say hello?"

Unfortunately, what Bai Bei didn't know was that he had arrived at the wrong time...

In the original story, Geed, who had never experienced "fatherly love," would likely feel somewhat confused upon hearing Bai Bei say this. Bai Bei would then exploit this weakness, dominating Geed from beginning to end.

But things are different now.

Belial's appearance made Geed realize what true "fatherly love" really is.

Furthermore, with Belial having already filled in the last missing piece of the puzzle in his heart, Geed felt no liking whatsoever for the White Belial before him, who appeared to be exactly like Belial but whose every move exuded an arrogant and domineering aura.

In his eagerness to rescue Belial, Geed didn't even bother to say a word to the white Belial before him. After touching the King's Holy Sword twice, he imbued the blade with a layer of golden energy. He then twisted his waist and turned, unleashing a devastating energy sword strike at the white Belial blocking his path!

"...Ha, you won't even call me 'Father'? You unfilial son—!!!"

Seeing Geed's obvious concern for Belial while readily turning his sword against him—a double standard—Bai Bei's smile froze on his face. The mockery and amusement in his eyes vanished as quickly as the tide receded.

Immediately afterward, feeling her pride insulted and her defenses breached once again, Whitebeard mobilized the Kingdom's power within her body and unleashed a giant energy claw to neutralize Geed's slashing attack.

Then, bathed in the starlight scattered across the sky after the two energy explosions, his face became noticeably gloomy and ugly, and he roared through gritted teeth.

"You are not my father, and you never will be."

Facing the enraged Bai Bei, Geed remained calm, showing no sign of emotion. He slowly assumed a fighting stance while meeting Bai Bei's gaze without flinching. With the most indifferent tone, he delivered another deep blow to Bai Bei's heart.

"You're just lucky to look like him... In my opinion, you don't deserve the name 'Beria' at all!"

"What did you say! You ignorant brat! How dare you slander me like this—!!!"

The moment the words fell, Bai Bei roared angrily, his rage unsurprisingly reaching its peak! He concealed the embarrassment and pain in his heart that even he himself was unwilling to admit!

Clearly, Bai Bei simply couldn't understand...

Whether it's Mary, this so-called son, or even another version of myself from a parallel universe...

Why do these guys look down on him?!

He is clearly the strongest warrior in the Land of Light!

Mary was the woman he set his sights on first! She should have belonged to him!

In terms of combat achievements and seniority, he is more than qualified to be the captain of the Ultra Guard!

If it weren't for that bastard Ken taking everything I wanted...

How could he have fallen to such a state!

Yes, it's all Jian's fault!

After he had humbled himself, feigned compliance, and squeezed Tartarus dry of his usefulness...

He will then return to the Land of Light with his newfound power and reclaim everything he has!

but now……

Let's start with this unfilial son who doesn't respect his father!

Finally, after some self-consolation and managing to calm himself down, Bai Bei, who vaguely felt a slight itch in his nose, charged forward almost simultaneously with Geed. They transformed into two streaks of light, clashing fiercely on the battlefield!

"This time, you're not getting away again—!!!"

Meanwhile, Zero, noticing Tartarus's reappearance on the battlefield, lunged at him once more. The silver longsword of the Shield of Paladin, with a swing of his right arm, drew a graceful arc through the air, aiming straight for Tartarus's head!

"A futile struggle. Belial already belongs to our kingdom... Game over. You loser, it's time to leave the stage!"

Unfortunately, the power gap between Zero and Tartarus in the current timeline is still too great.

Even clad in the divine artifact bestowed upon him by Noah, Tartarus showed no sign of seriousness when facing the menacing Zero. With just a slight tilt of his head, the longsword grazed the edge of his neck, utterly failing to harm Tartarus in the slightest.

Tartarus, who had anticipated Zero's attack, seized the opportunity, focused his energy, and struck Zero's chest with a palm, instantly unleashing a torrent of golden lightning. Zero, who had intended to continue his pursuit, immediately groaned in pain and was sent flying backward!

Then, Tartarus spread his arms wide, giving Zero a slightly smug look of mockery. He subtly prepared himself, anticipating Zero's question—the one he had been waiting to ask for so long.

"This is the difference in strength between us. You don't even have the ability to hurt me. You'd better just stay there obediently!"

"What a joke! I have no limits! Drink up—!!!"

Just when Tartarus thought that such a heavy blow would be enough to diminish Zero's fighting spirit, he didn't expect that the casual mention of "Belial" in his sarcastic remarks would cause Zero to react instinctively, completely igniting Zero's rage!

Suppressing the waves of pain, Zero shakily stood up. A sudden inspiration struck him, and right in front of Tartarus, he began to forcefully push his limits!

That is, while wearing the Shield of Paragi, he activated his own unique Shining Zero form!

In an instant, a dazzling golden light surged from Zero's color timer, rapidly altering his appearance. After merging with the energy of the Shield of Paraji, Zero's entire body shone with a holy, silvery-white light!

Finally, with the birth of a completely new form...

The terrifying pressure emanating from Zero forced Tartarus to suppress his contempt while muttering a helpless complaint, and he solemnly assumed a fighting stance!

"...Tsk, you warriors of the Land of Light are getting a bit too sore losers. Seeing they can't win, they all just start using cheat codes. Ask them if they won or lost, and they just say they've figured it out! They don't even bother to reason with you!"

"Fine, since you're so eager to die... I'll play with you a little longer!"

Chapter 86 Ultra Brothers: One of Us is a "Traitor"

Just as Tartarus's body shimmered with golden light, clashing fiercely with Zero's silver-white light, thus beginning the second round of the battle.

On the other side...

If we're talking about who's in the worst and most dangerous situation right now, it's definitely the Hipporito aliens who've been targeted and relentlessly pursued by Kaiser Geed.

Therefore, for the Hipporito aliens...

The good news is that the brutal monster chasing him clearly didn't know his own strength. It dared to beat him up unarmed and completely defenseless.

So much so that, looking around, you can see that Kaiser Geed's hands, bent into claws, have been completely transformed into the shape of bronze statues, from the fists to the wrists.

The bad news is...

Kaiser Geed seemed to know nothing of fear, showing no hesitation whatsoever in his pursuit of Hipporito.

Even the bronze transformation, which the Hipporito aliens considered a great weapon, actually made up for Kaiser Geed's lack of a weapon, since his one-handed sword had been severely damaged in the previous battle with Geed and had been casually discarded on the previous battlefield!

Even though the child was only a few days old and didn't recognize the Hipporito aliens at all, he was able to use his exceptional combat intuition to keenly realize that since his hands had been bronzed, he was no longer afraid of his opponents. He then used the Hipporito aliens' bronze-transformation ability as a form of enchantment and enhancement, making his attacks even more ruthless!

After a while, he didn't gain any advantage whatsoever...

Not being good at fighting to begin with, and now without Tartarus's protection, the Hipporito alien was left all alone, fleeing for its life. Its body was now covered with deep, bone-revealing claw marks! Dark purple, viscous liquid seeped from each wound, soaking most of the Hipporito alien's body.

Even his usual arthropod-like arms were torn off by Kaiser Geed not long ago when he was unable to dodge in time!

Even his only surviving left arm hung limply at his side. Through the skin and flesh, one could see the broken bones, forming unnatural twists and bulges under the skin.

The excruciating pain, unimaginable to ordinary people, made the Hipporito aliens repeatedly express their deep envy for the super beasts that felt no pain!

If it weren't for Kaiser Geed's ruthless methods, which made the Hipporito aliens realize that even if they gave up resisting, they would only be cruelly torn to pieces by Kaiser Geed...

The Hipporito alien, who was in excruciating pain at this moment, had probably already given up struggling and was thinking that Kaiser Geed would just give him a quick death!

Left with no other option, he could only desperately flee, praying that Tartarus would come to his rescue soon. Meanwhile, driven to desperation, even the mud-man, still possessing a degree of temper, began to subtly ambush energy nodes one by one during his escape…

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the Ultra Brothers, who were bearing the greatest pressure, were fighting alongside Ultraman R/B against the entire monster army!

It's worth mentioning that the scene of Belial being tricked and about to be forcibly kidnapped happened right before their eyes. The Ultra Brothers, all glowing red, attacked without any hesitation or probing, each move a clean and decisive finishing blow, maximizing their killing efficiency and rapidly closing in on Belial!

But soon, they had to face a serious problem.

The monster army blocking their path seemed endless, relentlessly surging against the Ultra Brothers' defenses like a tidal wave.

Even though the Ultra Brothers have been through countless battles, their strength has undergone a qualitative leap compared to when they first arrived on Earth. They are all unassuming Showa-era powerhouses.

However, their energy reserves are ultimately limited!

This led to them initially achieving good results in their all-out battle, significantly narrowing the gap between themselves and Belial.

However, as their energy was rapidly depleted, the Ultra Brothers, showing signs of fatigue, slowed down considerably.

Even now, they are surrounded by the monster army again and can hardly advance an inch!

"This can't go on; they'll run out of energy sooner or later!"

Realizing this, Zoffy, as the eldest brother, decisively made the best decision. While shouting loudly, he took the first step back and stood behind Taro.

"Brothers! Instead of being slowly worn down by this kind of attrition warfare, let's concentrate all our remaining energy on Taro and give it our all!"

By the way...

Taro was originally going to have a one-on-one fight with Tregear, but after only a few rounds, Tregear had to admit that in terms of combat, Taro, a pure stat monster, was stronger.

Therefore, when Belial fell into Tartarus's carefully laid trap and was turned into a bronze statue in front of everyone, attracting Taro's attention, Tregear knew that if he stayed any longer, he would either be beaten to death by Taro or, as Taro had previously said, have his limbs broken and be forcibly taken back to the Land of Light. This made him completely abandon his suicidal idea of ​​directly taunting him. He quickly seized the opportunity and hid behind the monster army's rear, taking charge of remote command of the battle.

After going back and forth, Taro, whose overall abilities are the strongest among the Ultra Brothers, naturally has the most remaining energy.

For this reason, no one objected to Zoffy's suggestion. They immediately displayed their superb skills, quickly defeating the monsters before them, and then retreated behind Taro.

Then they stood in a circle around Taro, preparing to gather the remaining energy in their bodies and use the pair of ancestral "bull horns" on Taro's head as a medium to pour it all into Taro's body!

"Don't try to succeed!"

Unfortunately, the Ultra Brothers' intentions were far too obvious.
