Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 601 Three Transformations, Dark Lucifer?

"Your form combines the power of light with your original power," Noah's voice was full of approval. "You are both a giant of light and retain the ability to control monsters."

Rhodes tried to move his body, and every movement brought out a dazzling stream of light. He was surprised to find that he could not only feel the light energy filling his body, but also call upon the various monster abilities he had absorbed at any time.

“Test your power,” Ultraman Noa said.

Rhodes nodded, raised his right hand, and with a thought, a golden light blade extended from his arm—a product of combining Red King's power with light energy.

Immediately afterwards, he condensed a blue and white energy ball in his left hand, which combined the dual characteristics of cosmic beasts and the power of light.

“This is amazing!” Rhodes exclaimed in surprise. “I can feel several forces reinforcing each other, and all the forces are being merged.”

Rhodes raised his hands high above his head, and a flash of light appeared on the red crystal on his forehead, followed by a burst of crimson light across his body.

Rhodes' body suddenly became extremely strong, his muscles grew explosively, and his chest and joints were even covered with a layer of armor. His body also turned golden red.

This form is similar to Ultraman Tiga's power mode, allowing him to unleash the maximum power within Rod's body!

The berserk transformation of Gomora, the terrifying strength of Red King, and the power of the cosmic mythical beast, the Great Water Buffalo, are all concentrated to maximize the enhancement of physical strength.

Moreover, not only has his melee strength been enhanced, but his defense has also become abnormally strong. Now, Rhode can even pat his chest without hesitation and use his chest to receive beams from Ultra Warriors or special skills from monsters.

“In this state, your power has been pushed to its limit. I suggest you keep only one beam attack skill and put all the rest into your physical attributes. Maximize your power,” Ultraman Noah nodded to Rhodes and said.

Rhode nodded and followed Ultraman Noa's instructions. As for special moves, Rhode used the Super Shockwave he inherited from Gomora, the Powerful Bull-Breaking Fist from the Space Monster Buffalo, and the Flame Path from EX Red King.

The three special moves are combined to develop an extremely powerful finishing move, which is the only beam attack in this form.

"Thank you for your guidance, powerful Ultraman Noa. This state is indeed very useful. I have another form!" Rod raised his hands above his head once again, and then the diamond-shaped gem on his head began to shine.

A flash of silver-blue light appeared, and Rhodes' body turned silver-blue, becoming as slender as in his previous form, completely lacking the strong and imposing aura of his second form.

In this form, Rhodes can unleash Bemstein's absorption ability, various superpowers from the Mephiras aliens, the power of various cosmic beasts, and the extradimensional energy from the Abel people.

In this state, Rhodes has many more special moves, and can use various superpowers to defend himself, such as telekinesis, telekinesis, teleportation, creating defensive barriers, and firing various light-based abilities.

Even if he were to return to the Warhammer universe, Rhodes could use his powerful soul to connect with space and unleash some psionic power.

"Excellent! Your combat power in this state is extremely unpredictable and versatile. If you encounter some troublesome enemies, switching to this state is the best choice." Ultraman Noah nodded approvingly at Rhodes.

"Great Ultraman Noa, I think these three forms are enough for now. The first form is comprehensive, the second form is power enhancement, and the third form is superpower and various beam enhancements," Rod said.

Having more transformation abilities isn't necessarily better. In fact, if Rhodes wanted, he could develop a transformation for every monster he had enhanced.

Even the Earth Emperor's spiritual power can be used to create a transformation, but is that really meaningful?
Each transformation doesn't actually provide a significant boost to one's abilities; three transformations are actually sufficient for Rhode to deal with most enemies.

Take Ultraman Tiga for example, and later Ultraman Dyna, both of them had three forms to conquer the world!
Rhodes felt that his three forms were already perfect, each form basically incorporating his own best power from the monsters he possessed.

"You can also try to integrate all your power, try to integrate all the power into your body, without relying on the power of transformation!"
"Then you can unleash all your abilities and perform them 100% perfectly. For example, that beam attack in red form just now—if you combine it with your superpowers, its power will definitely be even greater," Noah said.

Those fancy transformation skills are just states developed because of insufficient ability. If you are strong enough, you can always maintain the ultimate form.

The Mysterious Four don't have so many fancy forms, switching between this and that, borrowing the power of this, borrowing the power of that predecessor, or fusing this power!

Will you die if you don't borrow power?

“Thank you for your guidance, Senior Noah,” Rhodes nodded and said.

Noah's phantom nodded slightly: "The power of light will not reject other forces of justice. Remember, this power exists to protect."

I'm leaving now. I hope you, as travelers, have a wonderful time in this universe.

As a guest, Ultraman Noa will entertain beings from other universes, but if they are enemies, Ultraman Noa will also let them know the power of light.

Rhode nodded to Ultraman Noah, who then transformed into a beam of light and vanished completely from Rhode's sight.

“It’s incredible. Rhodes is such a powerful giant. I even wonder if the Dark Lord will be his match after he is born,” Elsa said as she walked over.

That's right. Only by truly facing Ultraman Noa can one know how strong he is. He can do such a thing with just a ray of light or the power of a clone.

Even without their help, Ultraman Noah could defeat Nugget, though it would take a little more effort!

Although Nurgle is powerful, he is no match for Ultraman Noa. If Rod and Elsa hadn't appeared, at most Kazuki Komon would have been killed.

“We’ve really struck gold this time, Elsa. I’ve finally integrated my own power. I’m no longer the half-baked guy who could use multiple abilities but couldn’t fully integrate them,” Rhode said, clenching his fist.

Previously, he also possessed the ability to grow to gigantic size. Initially, he used the superpowers of the Alien Mefilas, and later he used the power of a cosmic beast. But now, Rhode can transform into the Giant of Light form anytime, anywhere, to fight. Unlike those Ultra Warriors who need transformation devices, Rhode is Ultraman himself, so he can transform directly with his will.

What kind of fancy transformation device is this?!

That thing is a weird contraption created to sell toys. Real Ultraman should learn from our Ultraman Jack. I myself am the transformation device and don't need that thing at all.

"So what are you planning to do next? We can stay in this universe for another two and a half days," Elsa asked.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes stroked his chin and began to think. To be honest, it seemed that he had already achieved all the goals he had set before arriving in this new world.

First, I killed Nurgle and successfully obtained a large amount of system gold coins, as well as the most precious system crystals!
That's enough for another 100-pull, or even to upgrade the entire enhancement shop. Upgrading the enhancement shop to its maximum level will boost the combat power of all the top monsters under your command.

Then he obtained the true specialty of this world, the power of Ultraman. Moreover, Rod's Ultraman power came from the first ray of light in the universe, making him Ultraman Noa with true multiverse-level combat power.

It can be said that the harvest was quite fruitful. Rhodes only has two and a half days to carry out his mission, so what should he do during this time?

There aren't actually many monsters in the Nexus universe. There is a dangerous monster called the Alien Beast, but Rhode can exchange for it through the system shop.

Moreover, Ultraman Noa had just given him a great gift, and it was free of charge, so Rhodes didn't intend to cause any major damage to the universe.

"How about I show you around this planet for a bit?" Rhodes suggested.

"Forget it! The level of civilization on this planet is extremely low, it hasn't even reached the most basic level of spacefaring civilization, and the industrial pollution is extremely serious. How can it compare to the beautiful scenery of the Beast Planet?" Elsa said.

This Earth is much better than Terra, the human home planet, but it is incomparable to the Eldar's virgin world, or the mythical beast planet she currently inhabits.

So for now, it seems like Rhode really doesn't have anything to do. Why don't he take Elsa around the universe?

Anyway, they can't go too far in two and a half days. Although both of them are giants of light and move very fast in the universe, there's really nothing worth doing in this universe!

There is no Kingdom of Light in this universe, no ancient civilization on Earth, and no such thing as a legacy of light.

“Great master, there are still some valuable things in this world. I can sense that there is a very primal darkness in this world.” Just as Rhodes was about to take Elsa around and then return to the Warhammer universe, Belial spoke up.

“That’s right, Master. I can also sense that there is an immense evil force in this universe, something very dark and ancient,” Darram said as he appeared beside Rhodes.

As a former dark giant, Darrambhay possessed an extremely keen sense of dark power; he could sense that an even more powerful and terrifying darkness was brewing on this Earth.

"??? Terrifying darkness, how is this possible? This planet should be safe from danger by now." Rhodes said in surprise.

The final boss of the Nexus world should be Dark Zagi, but this Dark Zagi is not the first ray of darkness in the universe, but was split off from Ultraman Ginga!
It is a planet with a highly advanced civilization, and the monsters created in imitation of Ultraman Noa.

“I can’t be wrong, Master. This terrifying monster lives on this planet. It’s right here,” Darram said.

“The opponent should also be a Dark Giant, but its strength is even greater than that of the Dark Giant that was destroyed in space before,” Belial said.

“They are both right, great master, I can also sense an incomparably terrifying dark power,” Tartarus said as he appeared beside Rhodes.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes frowned, as if suddenly remembering something: Nexus was actually a show that had been cancelled.

Because his final boss is not actually Dark Zagi in the original setting. Dark Zagi is just a mid-game boss. The real boss is Dark Lucifer.

This boss is a fictional character who has never appeared in the main storyline, but only in a later novel. He appears three years after Ultraman Noa defeats Dark Zagi.

He possessed terrifying dark power, and was eventually transformed into Ultraman Noa by Kazuki Komon and Saijo.

However, the final outcome of this battle is unknown. According to the setting, he is the fourth dark giant to appear after Dark Faust, Dark Mephistopheles, and Dark Zagi!
He is the culprit behind everything in the Ultraman Nexus incident, and the only villain in the Ultraman series to appear for the first time in a novel. His name comes from Lucifer, the demon Satan, in Dante's Divine Comedy.

His combat power is unknown, but his strength is comparable to that of Ultraman Noa. Moreover, in Ultraman Ginga, it is said that some of the settings of Dark Lugiel were based on the Fee plan in Project N. Dark Lucifer is the final boss of Ultraman Nexus.

Some people even joked that Dark Lucifer eventually appeared as Dark Elgill!
“This is interesting. I think I know who you mean by darkness. The ultimate boss of this universe, the fallen angel Dark Lucifer,” Rhodes said.

“Master, if we can defeat this guy and absorb his dark power, then my power and Belial’s power will be enhanced once again, and you can even absorb a portion of his power.”

"The true form that arises from the fusion of light and darkness is the most powerful force," Darram said.

In a sense, he was actually the final experimental product created by the master's fusion of light and darkness.

There was a reason why the master sent him to merge with Horus back then.

The master wanted to borrow the power of Horus and the power of the Emperor's hope to create the Giant of Light, and then merge himself with the original darkness to give birth to the Light and Darkness Fusion Truth Form.
