Ultraman: The Grim Reaper from Ancient Times

Chapter 173 Monster Zagi! A future that has changed, yet not completely changed?

Red Kai, who had just finished the battle, was still unconscious.

They were utterly powerless against the Absolut clan, who had a clear objective.

These Absolut soldiers also began to destroy the surrounding cities.

They need to attract the attention of the Clan of Light.

In their eyes now, Hong Kai is already a dead man.

Sure enough, an Absolut soldier stepped forward and began to gather energy, preparing to blast Kai's human form to smithereens.

Perhaps the protagonist's halo really exists.

At this critical moment, Hong Kai, who was originally in a coma, actually woke up.

His heart tightened.

Using the last of his strength, he suddenly propped himself up and leaped into the air.

The next moment, he was lifted dozens of meters higher.

We arrived at the top of the ruins of a building not far away.

Having survived the ordeal, he gazed at the enormous figures, gritted his teeth, and took out the three cards once more.

The transformation was completed in the blink of an eye.

However, this transformation was a bit too forced.

The timer on his chest was flashing rapidly, as if it might go out at any moment.

The energy is almost depleted.

This transformation was achieved by squeezing out every last bit of his potential.

He drew his sword and resolutely charged toward Busoliut's army.

Brush brush!
Several flashes of sword light appeared.

Several Absolut soldiers have already been cut in half at the waist.

It exploded into pieces amidst a burst of flames, leaving only Absolut's heart.

These Absolut soldiers are comparable to ordinary warriors of the Land of Light.

Facing a rising star like Orb, he would naturally be no match for him in a one-on-one fight.

However, the advantage of this group of Absolut soldiers was their large numbers.

Faced with Orb's fierce offensive, they swarmed him, making Orb feel overwhelmed by their numbers.

They quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Orb was knocked to the ground in the midst of the melee.

The soldiers retreated and began to gather their energy.

A light-emitting bullet struck Orb.

Orb felt unbearable pain; his energy, which had been almost completely depleted, was finally exhausted.

His transformation completely collapsed, and he reverted to human form once again.

He is now completely at the mercy of others.

……

Tartarus was watching this scene unfold from inside the Planetary Invasion Alliance's ship.

He spoke softly, "It's over."

He was in a good mood.

This mission went relatively smoothly.

In the previous few times they carried out the plan, although they were able to push those new generation warriors into a desperate situation every time, unexpected events always occurred at the crucial moment.

For example, the army of the Land of Light might arrive in time, or other Ultramen might appear and disrupt their plans.

"and many more!"

Suddenly Tartarus's gaze sharpened.

Because just a moment ago, a picture flashed through his mind.

This feeling is very familiar.

This is his ability to foresee the future.

He had previously experienced fragments of the future many times, and it was because of these fragments that he was always able to anticipate his enemy's moves.

I carefully recalled what had just happened.

This scene is still set in the ruins of the city.

In a desolate wasteland, a black and red figure stood on the ground, holding a long knife in his hand.

Beneath his feet lay warriors of the Absolut tribe.

How is this going?

The battle is over?
Were all the warriors killed?

And me?

He quickly recalled every detail of the scene he had just witnessed, and finally found himself in a corner of the ruins.

Tartarus looked to be in very bad shape at this moment.

He collapsed to the ground, a huge wound slashed open in his chest, and the energy within him was surging out.

He is dying!

How can this be?

How could such a powerful warrior exist on this earth?

Since gaining greater power with Chaos's help, he has become extremely arrogant.

He felt that in this multiverse, there were very few who could be his opponents, only those beings that existed only in legends.

But the current situation is enough to show that such a legendary existence may exist on this earth.

"Oh no! Retreat immediately!"

Upon realizing this, he immediately issued orders to all the soldiers.

After receiving his orders, the soldiers were initially surprised, but then immediately became tense.

Because they knew Tartarus very well.

They knew the other party couldn't have made things up out of thin air, and they possessed the ability to foresee the future.

Since the other party is asking them to back down, it proves that something difficult to resist may have happened in the future.

They had just made a move when the golden spatial passage opened.

Suddenly, a black and red figure appeared, wielding a pair of sharp claws and slamming them hard onto the golden passage.

boom!
A terrifying burst of energy erupted instantly, tearing the golden passage to shreds.

How can this be?

All the warriors of the Absolut clan were terrified.

That was a space-time ability, yet it was torn to shreds by the opponent.

What kind of monster is this?

They quickly looked closely.

Finally, we could see the true appearance of this "monster".

This is a black and red giant.

The other person held a long knife and stood on the ground not far away.

He looks like a fallen warrior of the Ultra race, but what's strange is that his eyes are somewhat captivating.

Those eyes seemed to have no luster; they were grayish-white.

It looks lifeless, and when you look into its eyes, you can't help but feel a chill run down your spine.

Moreover, the other person had a bone mask on their face.

Strangely, the bone mask was almost identical to his face, making it look like he had two faces from a distance.

Even more bizarrely, there was a hole in the other person's neck.

It looked as if it had been pierced by a sharp weapon; the wound was smooth and clean, and there was no blood flowing out.

Below this opening, there is a number.

2!

The meaning of this number is unclear, but a clever person can probably guess that it may be related to the other party's identity.

"What the hell are you?"

An Absolut warrior mustered his courage, stepped forward, and shouted.

However, the figure mechanically raised its head.

His figure vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing once more within the ranks of Absolut's army. *Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
As blades flashed, the Absolut warriors present immediately fell to the ground with screams of agony.

What a quick knife!

Only one thought flashed through the minds of all the stabbed warriors.

Some soldiers realized what was happening and dared not get close to the enemy again. Instead, they began to gather energy and launch energy attacks at the enemy.

However, the other party seemed to have been prepared.

Just as their attacks were about to land on each other, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking all the attacks.

……

"Spiritual pressure shield?"

Renn, who was watching from a distance, was astonished by what he saw.

As expected of the Arrancar that Dark Zagi transformed into.

This talent is truly amazing.

Not only has he mastered his own power in a short period of time, but he has also been able to develop his own power and create abilities such as spiritual pressure shield.

The principle behind spiritual pressure shields is actually quite simple.

It's basically about condensing spiritual pressure to form a shield in front of oneself, but it requires a high level of control over one's own spiritual pressure and a high level of spiritual pressure intensity.

Zagi's spiritual pressure has reached the required level, and what he is showing now is a powerful ability to control spiritual pressure.

"This monster."

With the abilities of the Absolut warriors present, they were simply unable to break through this spiritual pressure shield.

Under Zaki's reaping, Absolut's warriors fell like wheat being harvested, one after another.

He finally stopped.

But his gaze toward the group of soldiers before him was filled with deep disdain.

In his eyes, numbers were just a useless bunch of numbers that no longer posed any threat to him.

In fact, if he were to fight unrestrained, although these warriors appeared numerous, they still wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from him.

He was merely using these warriors to adapt to his power.

"Absolute destruction!"

Suddenly a voice rang out from the sky.

A golden beam of light blasted directly towards the direction where Zagi was located.

Zaki reacted immediately and swung his sword in the direction from which the beam of light was coming.

A grayish-white sword pressure shot out from the tip of the blade, splitting the golden energy beam in two.

Both sides canceled each other out.

However, the Earth's atmosphere was inevitably damaged.

Under the terrifying energy impact, the atmosphere trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Even the atmosphere is covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

"I am Absolut Tartarus, a warrior of the Absolut race, the ultimate life form!"

Tartarus, who had just appeared, habitually introduced himself.

Zaki, standing not far away, stared at him with a face full of curiosity.

Suddenly, mimicking him, he raised one hand and spoke in a similar tone: "I am the second of the Ten Espada, the twentieth Espada, Zagi!"

Tartarus on the opposite side was taken aback.

The situation immediately became awkward.

Previously, when he made these gestures and delivered these opening lines, I didn't feel anything was wrong.

But now, seeing the other person in person, using the same posture and tone, uttering similar cringeworthy words, is truly heartbreaking.

He felt embarrassed for the first time.

However, he quickly realized that there were still many soldiers waiting for him to take them home.

Although these Absolut warriors are dead, they can be resurrected once more as long as their Absolut hearts remain.

The prerequisite is that we can bring them back.

Ten blades?

What is it?
What exactly is the Twentieth Espada?
Tartarus was filled with questions, but he eventually calmed down and did not ask them.

It's not that he doesn't want to know.

Rather, he felt that the other party's identity information should not be so easily revealed to him.

But what he didn't know was that Zaki, who had just completed his transformation, didn't yet have so many tricks up his sleeve.

So if he really dares to ask, the other party might really dare to answer.

"This kind of power..."

Tartarus recalled the glimpses of the future he had just seen, and looked at the outcome of the battle before him, his heart filled with doubt.

He thought that even if he took action, he would be powerless to resist.

Unexpectedly, the two sides were evenly matched in this confrontation.

This puzzled him.

If the two sides were only evenly matched, then why did he die in a later scene?

This is completely unreasonable.

But the previous language had never been wrong, which means that this result was definitely destined.

But what caused this result?
Are there hidden powerful figures lurking in the shadows?
Or perhaps, he accidentally capsized in a ditch?

He was, after all, a seasoned warrior. Facing opponents of the same level, while he wouldn't dare boast that he could completely crush them, he could at least survive without any problem.

Unless it's a trap set by the enemy.

Thinking of this, he immediately became vigilant. If the other party really had some kind of conspiracy, he just needed to be careful.

With this in mind, he became even more cautious.

However, to his surprise, at this very moment, his mind became slightly distracted again.

In this moment of daze, he saw a new scene.

In fact, his ability to foresee the future does not mean that every scene he sees is the same.

The future outcome can be changed.

If a certain action is taken that changes the future outcome, then the outcome of the future scene will also be affected.

This is what is called the butterfly effect.

So he wanted to see if the outcome had changed despite his vigilance.

But when he saw the fragments of the future clearly, he was immediately startled.

What has changed?

It's even more outrageous than that.

Because in the new clip, he actually saw himself at first glance.

He was now kneeling on the ground.

His whole body was covered in blood.

The energy blood gushed out as if it were free.

However, he was in very bad shape at the moment, kneeling on the ground, his face seemingly filled with despair.

What he saw was a black and red figure in front of him, who called himself Zaki.

At this moment, Zaki was actually standing behind Tartarus, who was kneeling on the ground.

At this moment, the other person's hands gripped Tartarus's upper jaw and chin respectively.

On his side, a familiar longsword was piercing the earth.

The other party made a move in the video.

The movements were neither too slow nor too slow, and it didn't seem like he was putting any effort into it, but it put a lot of psychological pressure on Tartarus.

Because he saw with his own eyes that Zaki was slowly breaking his own neck.

They actually twisted his head off like that.

Then, holding up Tartarus's head as if showing off his trophy, he raised it high above his head.

No one knows what it feels like to watch your own head being twisted off by someone else.

Tartarus is the first to feel it now.

However, he didn't feel good.

His expression kept changing.
