Chapter 714 Rebirth of Eleking

Reborn Eleking, a terrifying being feared by all, is primarily known for its somewhat overpowered resurrection ability. Its origins can be traced back to the Eleking defeated by Ultraman Seven in the past. In that battle, Ultraman Seven defeated Eleking with his overwhelming power, plunging it into a long period of silence. However, the wheels of fate did not stop turning.

As the full moon's light bathed the earth, a mysterious change quietly occurred. Eleking, once defeated, miraculously revived after absorbing special lunar energy, transforming into Reborn Eleking. This time, it lost its ability to generate electricity, but gained an even more terrifying attack method—the ability to spew extremely high-temperature flames from its mouth and tail. These flames were so intense that everything in their path was incinerated, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Reborn Eleking's appearance has also changed somewhat. Its body remains massive and robust, covered in rough, hard scales that shimmer eerily in the moonlight, seemingly proclaiming its renewed power. Compared to its predecessor, its tail appears more agile and powerful, becoming a deadly weapon for spewing flames. The horns on its head remain prominently visible; they are its weakness, but also the key to its resurrection and energy acquisition.

Rumors suggest that Eleking's resurrection is inextricably linked to a mysterious and evil force—the Monster Army. This Monster Army manipulated everything behind the scenes during Ultraman Taro's battles against invaders and numerous monsters, posing a formidable threat lurking in the shadows. Among them, the monster chieftain Geronimon played a crucial role. Geronimon is said to possess an unbelievable resurrection ability; when Eleking's horns were illuminated by special moonlight, they were affected by Geronimon's power, thus allowing it to revive. Because of this, Reborn Eleking was modified to a certain extent, possessing greater combat power and survivability, earning it the nickname "Modified Eleking."

The reborn Eleking now possesses a degree of autonomy, capable of acting independently even without its former master's command to transform into the monster Pitt Alien. Its mobility and attack power have significantly increased compared to before, making it more agile and ferocious in battle. However, it is not invincible. Its greatest weakness lies in its ability to only be active during the nights of a full moon, when the moonlight is abundant. Each sunrise, when the moonlight fades, it falls into a weakened state, forced to burrow underground to slumber and avoid sunlight, awaiting the next full moon.

On Earth, Geronimon's existence is terrifying. Its ability to resurrect monsters chills the hearts of other extraterrestrials, who even regard it as a "monstrous beast." Its appearance often signifies an impending catastrophe. And the resurrected Eleking is merely one link in its horrific plan.

Of course, it's also possible that this guy has forgotten about it.

While the Reborn Eleking possesses terrifying strength, it is not omnipotent. Sunlight is its natural enemy. Its habits are somewhat similar to those of zombies; to avoid the scorching sunlight, at the moment of sunrise, its body rapidly exhales a thick, grayish-black smoke that spreads like a heavy curtain, obscuring the surrounding vision. At the same time, relying on its strong limbs and hard claws, it moves like a frantically operating excavator, digging and moving rapidly underground, instantly disappearing into the depths of the earth, leaving only a mess of pits and churning dust on the surface.

Although Eleking appears to be nothing more than a ferocious monster, it surprisingly possesses a certain level of intelligence and thought. When in unfamiliar environments or encountering things that interest it, it behaves like a curious child, attempting to imitate others. For example, during a confrontation with humans, it observed children playing and flipping over, and even tried to mimic their movements, twisting its massive body. When it succeeded, it would raise its head, letting out a deep roar, radiating a smug aura as if announcing its "achievement" to the world.

The horns of Rebirth King are undoubtedly its most crucial part. These horns act like two mysterious energy receivers, the source of its regeneration. On nights with a full moon, it raises its horns high, aiming at the silvery moonlight. At this time, the horns, like activated mystical devices, begin to absorb moonlight energy, its body radiating a soft glow of the same hue as the moonlight. This glow gradually becomes brighter and richer as it absorbs energy, with a continuous flow of energy flowing into its body through the horns, providing it with the energy to move and greatly enhancing its combat power. On the night of a full moon, when the moonlight is most abundant, it absorbs more moonlight energy, and its strength reaches its peak. However, in situations where there is no moonlight energy to absorb, such as on cloudy days or during the day, it becomes like a machine without power, gradually weakening, moving sluggishly, and even unable to move, emitting painful cries.

Its mouth, outwardly similar to the former Eleking, harbors immense destructive power. Now, it no longer unleashes its former electric beams; instead, it spews forth flames reaching temperatures of up to 10 degrees Celsius. Imagine that scorching flame, like raging lava, erupting with overwhelming force, instantly igniting everything in its path. Even steel melts rapidly under this intense heat. Furthermore, the tip of its tail is also a powerful weapon, capable of spewing forth flames. In battle, it often skillfully swings its tail, incinerating everything around it. Even the mighty Ultraman Taro, upon first encountering this high-temperature flame attack, struggled to withstand its power and had to temporarily retreat.

Eleking's skin possesses astonishingly strong defensive capabilities. During its battle with Ultraman Taro, Taro unleashed the "Bracelet Crown" attack; the powerful energy impacting Eleking's skin was deflected as if striking a solid alloy barrier. Furthermore, when it burrows underground, a strange smoke rises from its surface. This smoke not only serves to conceal its presence but also seems to contain special substances that interfere with surrounding electronic devices and sensory systems, making it impossible for enemies tracking it to detect it. Its hands have a unique structure; except for the thumb, they are all tightly connected, and missiles can be launched from holes at the ends of the hands. In close combat, it swings its powerful hands, delivering extremely forceful palm strikes, often combined with missile launches, to deliver unexpected blows to its opponents.
