Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Two cold, hostile snorts rang out almost simultaneously. Two identical Mefilas aliens stared at each other from several meters away, their disgust and wariness undisguised. Their energy fields tightened slightly, and the invisible auras collided, even causing the dust floating around them to scatter slightly—clearly, these two kin were extremely hostile to each other just by looking at each other.

After all, their positions had already determined their enmity: one had sided with Emperor Empera, while the other stood with Choi Myeong. Belonging to two different camps, they had no possibility of coexisting from the very beginning.

Even knowing this hostile relationship, Mefilas, under Ampera's command, couldn't help but clench his fists, his envy almost bursting out of his chest—he had to admit, he was incredibly envious of the other! Envious of the exclusive equipment personally gifted by Cui Ming, and even more envious of the other's equal and sincere friendship with Cui Ming. This envy entwined in his heart like vines, adding a touch of unspeakable resentment to his hostility towards this fellow clansman.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield in the dream world, Carmila was also being consumed by envy and jealousy.

In fact, long ago, Carmila had vaguely sensed that, in a sense, she and Carmila were essentially the same kind of person. They were both persistent in their beliefs, both longed for unwavering companionship, and both were willing to give everything for what they wanted, but their destinies diverged completely at a certain point.

As time went by, this realization became clearer, especially when she saw Camilla being so cherished by Trega, and even being firmly protected by his side when she joined the ranks of the Light. Camilla's inner balance completely collapsed. Why? Everyone was so similar, both carrying dark pasts, both harboring burning obsessions. Why did Camilla get a happy ending, while she was left behind by Trega, trapped alone in the darkness?
"Triga!!! Triga!!!! You bastard!!!" Carmilla's voice echoed in the empty dream space, filled with heart-wrenching accusations and resentment, her crimson eyes churning with thick, dark energy. "Why! Why couldn't you be like Cui Ming! I don't ask you to stay with me like Cui Ming protected Carmilla! You could at least take me with you when you left, let me go with you to the light!!!"

"call--"

Carmilla took a deep breath, her chest heaving as she forcibly suppressed her surging emotions, but the murderous intent in her eyes grew even stronger. She slowly raised her eyes, fixing them on Carmilla not far away, her voice as cold as ice: "Carmilla, do you know? I'm so jealous of you right now, I'm going crazy with jealousy!"

“I know.” Camilla nodded gently, her tone calm and even, as if she had anticipated Camilla’s reaction. Her long silver hair swayed slightly in the breeze of dark energy, her face devoid of any superfluous expression, showing neither the arrogance of a victor nor pity for her own kind.

"Then... die."

Before she finished speaking, Carmilla erupted with violent dark energy. Dense black mist instantly enveloped her, and amidst the ear-piercing energy hum, her figure rapidly grew taller, transforming into her familiar dark giant form in the blink of an eye. The color timer on her chest flickered with a dark light, and her sharp claws gleamed with a deadly cold light.

Despite Carmilla's sudden attack, Carmilla remained calm. She elegantly tossed her silver hair that fell over her shoulder, and with a light touch of her fingertips at her waist, an exquisitely crafted magic wand appeared in her hand.

She held the Spark Lens steady, and a dazzling light burst forth from it, dispelling most of the surrounding darkness—Camilla had also transformed into her giant form!
Unlike Carmilla's dark attributes, Carmilla at this moment was surrounded by pure and warm light energy, making her a true giant of light! The light was soft yet extremely penetrating, forming a stark contrast with Carmilla's dark energy.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Seeing Camilla's form as a giant of light, Camilla went completely berserk! She screamed hysterically, and the raging dark energy nearly tore the entire dream space apart—she clearly remembered that Camilla was originally a dark giant! But now, the other party had actually stepped into the light and become a giant of light!

Damn it! Why?! Even though Cui Ming was determined to join the Light faction, he didn't forget to protect Camilla by his side. He not only took her into the realm of light, but also went to great lengths to help her complete her transformation from darkness to light, freeing her from the shackles of darkness and giving her a brand new form of light! But look at Triga!
He, on the other hand, only thought of rushing towards the light himself, cruelly abandoning the woman who had once stood shoulder to shoulder with him into endless darkness. He didn't even offer her a sliver of hope, not a single hesitation! This drastically different treatment, this stark contrast, was like a red-hot branding iron, its destructive heat pressing down hard on Carmilla's heart. The intense burning pain spread throughout her body, and her already fragile reason, crushed by extreme jealousy and overwhelming rage, was utterly shattered, devoured completely, leaving only the mad thought of destroying everything.

"I'll kill you!!!" Carmilla roared, her figure transforming into a black lightning bolt, lunging towards Carmilla with a world-destroying aura, her claws aimed straight for the timer on Carmilla's chest.

"You're the one who'll die!!!" Camilla's eyes sharpened, and her body surged with light as she charged forward to meet Camilla's attack. Before her words even finished, their figures clashed in a violent energy collision, and a life-or-death battle between sisters of the same origin but different paths officially began!

Carmilla struck first, her right hand flashing out, instantly conjuring a red whip crackling with dense dark energy. It lashed out at Carmilla with a sharp whistling sound – her signature move, the Carmilla Light Whip. The whip was swift and deadly, its trajectory carrying a chilling, space-tearing force, aimed directly at Carmilla's vital waist. Facing the fierce attack, Carmilla appeared completely at ease. She lightly touched the ground with her toes, her body shifting to the side with astonishing speed, while simultaneously raising her right hand, a lightsaber radiating pure blue light materialized – the Carmilla Light Sword. The lightsaber precisely parried behind her, a crisp clang ringing out as it caught the follow-up strike of Carmilla's Light Whip. Sparks flew as the two energy weapons collided.

"Is that all you've got?" Camilla said coldly, flicking her wrist to deflect the light whip with her lightsaber. She then launched a counterattack. In a flash, she transformed into a streak of blue light, her lightsaber flashing in her hand with exquisite swordplay as she thrust towards Camilla's vital points. Each strike carried pure and powerful light energy, exuding an oppressive aura.

Carmilla dared not be careless and quickly swung her light whip in defense. At the same time, she gathered dark energy in her left hand, and several black lightning-like sparks shot out from her fingers, aiming straight for Carmilla's face, attempting to force back the opponent's attack. However, Carmilla had anticipated this. She swung her lightsaber, shattering all the sparks from her fingers, her footwork remaining perfectly steady, and the lightsaber's attack only grew more rapid.

The two engaged in a high-speed battle within the dream space, the sounds of clashing light whips and lightsabers, and the roar of energy bursts echoing throughout. Carmilla displayed her techniques with exquisite skill, her light whip sometimes coiling and sealing, sometimes slashing and whipping, and her light rods occasionally coalescing into form for thrusting attacks. Yet, no matter how hard Carmilla exerted herself, she remained firmly suppressed by Carmilla. Every swing of Carmilla's sword, every dodge, was perfectly timed, not only easily deflecting Carmilla's attacks but also seizing opportunities to launch deadly counterattacks. Although their fighting styles shared many similarities, Carmilla's combat power was clearly superior.

Camilla herself was somewhat surprised. She could clearly feel that the light energy within her body was far more abundant and condensed than before, and her reaction speed and control over energy during battle had improved by more than one level, but she just couldn't explain the source of this increased power.

Forced back several steps once more by Camilla's lightsaber, Camilla steadied herself, the color timer on her chest flickering faintly as its energy dwindled. Looking at the composed Camilla before her, her eyes filled with disbelief, madness, and confusion, she gasped for breath and gritted her teeth, asking, "Why?! Why are you so strong?! We're clearly the same kind of beings, how come you're so much stronger than me?!"

Upon hearing the question, Camilla paused slightly in her attack, seemingly deep in thought. She sheathed her lightsaber, gracefully retreating several meters to create distance between herself and Camilla, a thoughtful expression on her face. After a moment, she spoke casually, her tone devoid of any boasting, yet carrying a sense of matter-of-fact composure: "Perhaps... it's because I've spent so much time with Cui Ming, often cultivating together."

"Dual cultivation?!" These two words struck Carmilla's mind like a thunderbolt. She was stunned for a moment, then completely descended into madness. Her scarlet eyes widened, and the dark energy around her surged wildly with extreme anger, almost solidifying: "Aaaaaaah!!! It's Cui Ming again!!! Why!!! How could he be so good to you!!!"

The pent-up resentment and jealousy exploded upon hearing the words "dual cultivation." Carmilla felt her reason ignite completely; she roared, her dark energy surging several times over, even causing the dream space to tremble violently. She stared intently at Carmilla, her eyes overflowing with murderous intent: "I'll kill you!!! I will definitely kill you and Cui Ming!!!"

Before she finished speaking, Carmilla's figure swelled again, dark energy coalescing into a massive phantom behind her, clearly preparing for a counterattack with even greater power. Carmilla remained calm, gripping her lightsaber tightly, her surrounding light energy surging, ready to meet the final onslaught.

The fierce battle between Camilla and Carmilla intensified, with violent light and dark energies colliding and spreading continuously. Even at the edge of the battlefield thousands of meters away, the destructive pressure could be clearly felt. This scene caused the two Mefilas aliens, who had been on guard against each other, to stop their confrontation. Their gazes were involuntarily drawn to the scene, and their eyes twitched uncontrollably.

"Hiss—" Mefilas, one of Emperor Empera's subordinates, gasped and instinctively took a half-step back, afraid of being caught in the aftershocks of the two's battle. He glanced at his fellow clansman beside him, who also looked solemn, and thought to himself: These two crazy women are too reckless when they fight, they're practically risking their lives to destroy everything!

Mefilas, on Cui Ming's side, also unusually dropped his playful expression, his brows furrowing slightly. He had witnessed many brutal battles in the universe, but rarely had he seen such a battle filled with obsession and madness, especially two giants of the same origin fighting to this extent; the ruthlessness was chilling. "Truly terrifying," he muttered under his breath, his tone carrying a genuine sense of dread.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes: that Ultraman named Triga was definitely in deep trouble. To drive such a fanatical woman to this point, he was likely to face a difficult future. Even if he escaped this time, given Carmilla's obsession, she would seek revenge sooner or later.

After lamenting Triga's "tragic situation," the two Mefilas' thoughts drifted back to Triumph. The Mefilas under Emperor's command thought sourly: Triumph is truly amazing; he managed to tame such a madwoman as Camilla, not only transforming her from a dark giant into a giant of light, but also calming her madness and making her composed and powerful.

Mefilas, on Cui Ming's side, nodded in deep agreement. Recalling Cui Ming's usual style of doing things, and Camilla's trust and reliance on Cui Ming, she became more convinced: Only Cui Ming has this ability. If it were someone else, let alone taming such a being, it would be a question whether they could even survive.

That's right, in their eyes, Cui Ming had tamed Camilla.
After all, Camilla does belong to
It's a pretty scary type.

Of course, this is from the perspective of the pride of these aliens; it's different from Cui Ming's point of view.
Choi Myung genuinely believed that Camilla was a good woman.
This is a fundamental difference in how we view problems.

Just as the two were silently reflecting on their situation, another violent energy eruption resounded from the center of the battlefield. The dark phantom that Carmilla had conjured slammed towards her, while Carmilla raised her lightsaber, gathering pure light energy to prepare for a head-on confrontation—this frenzied duel continued.
