Ultraman: The Grim Reaper from Ancient Times

Chapter 174 Tartarus in Panic! Blackwing Destroyer!

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Tartarus panicked completely.

That's okay.

If things continue to develop this way, this will probably be his fate.

That death was so gruesome.

But when he was exchanging blows with Zaki just now, he could clearly feel that the intensity of the opponent's energy was not much different from his own.

His overall abilities are probably no weaker than his opponent's, so he still has a chance to win.

So what's going on now?

Could there really be other hidden powerhouses lurking in the shadows?
"Go to hell!"

Tartarus's mind was in turmoil, and in his agitation, he unleashed Absolute Destruction once again.

This attack's energy fluctuations were significantly stronger than the last one.

But faced with this attack, Zaki swung his sword to meet it, and the two were evenly matched once again.

However, Tartarus clearly had the upper hand compared to the last time.

"Can you win?"

Tartarus was puzzled.

The two sides immediately clashed, and Tartarus's advantage became increasingly apparent, seemingly on the verge of victory, just as he had guessed.

However, the more obvious his advantage became, the more uneasy he felt.

Despite having such a significant advantage, why hasn't the future changed?

He just felt creepy.

Everything was too bizarre.

Under this psychological pressure, he was completely overwhelmed.

He whirled around and opened a spatial portal: "Retreat quickly, get out of here! I'll hold this guy off!"

what?
The other Absolut warriors were all filled with confusion.

They couldn't understand why Tartarus, who clearly had the upper hand, wanted them to leave so quickly.

But they could not disobey Tartarus's orders.

They hurriedly carried the hearts of their deceased companions and rushed into the spatial passage.

"Trying to escape?"

Zaki watched this scene: "How could we possibly let you escape so easily?"

"It seems it's time to use that power."

He slowly picked up the long sword in his hand: "I don't know what you're so smug about. Do you really think you can completely suppress me?"

"As the second of the Espada, I possess Hollow powers."

"My sword can be unleashed; my current state is merely a sealed state."

what?
Tartarus's gaze sharpened, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, a terrifying energy pressure erupted from Zaki's body, blowing away the clouds in the sky.

"Resurrección! Blackwing Destroyer!"

As Zaki chanted, his form changed drastically in the next moment.

A pair of wings appeared behind him, similar to Noah's wings, only black in color.

At the same time, the color of his body became even darker.

The intensity of the energy erupting from his body increased many times over in that instant.

Everyone seemed to be watching the birth of a god of destruction.

Tartarus's heart trembled: "Yes, this is it."

The next moment, he opened a spatial passage without hesitation and entered it at top speed.

"Want to run?"

Upon seeing this, Zaki suddenly held up two fingers.

Two terrifying spiritual pressures were frantically gathering on these two fingers.

"Wang Xu's flash!"

boom!
Two jet-black streaks of light, carrying a terrifying sense of energy pressure, crashed into the two spatial passages.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the two spatial passages began to collapse inch by inch.

It was completely dismantled in just a short moment.

The Absolut warriors in the first spatial passage were almost instantly annihilated.

The second spatial passage was Tartarus's own escape route.

As the passage collapsed, Tartarus's figure also vanished.

It seems like everything is over.

Hong Kai, who had just regained consciousness, felt a chill run down his spine.

What terrifying power this is.

Who exactly is this giant?

……

In a golden space, Tartarus came to his senses, still shaken.

"What exactly are the Ten Espada?"

"Liberating power?"

"Even with his power sealed, he still possesses combat strength comparable to mine. Once released, he has power approaching that of a king."

"What a terrifying setting!"

Yes, Tartarus is still alive.

The reason he is still alive is because he is cautious enough.

In fact, he had already made thorough preparations when he opened the first spatial passage.

Because Tartarus foresaw his own future fate, he hesitated at the last moment during his battle with Zaki.

As he opened the spatial passage, he threw his Absolut heart into it.

He did just die.

But he only lost one life; he still has several more.

But it was precisely because of the loss of his life that he realized the terror of the Espada.

"Ten Blades? Ten?"

Tartarus fell into deep thought.

Since it's called the Ten Blades, does that mean there are ten of these monsters?

This is impossible.

If such a powerful force exists in the universe, why have we never heard a word about it before?

Was it because it was hidden too well?
This makes absolutely no sense.

"Zagi?"

Tartarus chewed on the name.

He felt the name was familiar; it seemed he had seen it in some timeline of the universe.

But that Zagi is also called Dark Zagi.

The other party is an artificial life form created by the visitor by copying Noah's data.

Although both are called Zaki, it is clear that these two Zakis are different in appearance, apart from having the same name.

It's hard for him to make that connection.

Moreover, in the timeline he examined, that Zagi had completely disappeared and never appeared again in future history.

No one knows where they died.

"This is a big deal."

"If all the Espada are truly monsters like this, even the King would probably have a headache."

Tartarus slapped his forehead, looking troubled: "Then what does the number '2' represent?"

"Does this organization rank itself based on its strength?"

"Does the number '2' mean that the other party is the second strongest warrior in this organization?"

"If this guy is only ranked second, then how strong is the first one?"

It has to be said that Tartarus is quite intelligent.

After some deduction, I did manage to deduce some useful information.

But it was precisely because of this that he became even more panicked.

He decided to return to Absolut immediately to inform Chaos of the news.

……

The battle that had just taken place shocked everyone, including Jugglus Juggler, who had been hiding in the shadows, watching the fight unfold.

But at this moment, he was already shocked.

What he originally wanted was for both sides to suffer heavy losses.

But clearly not.

The final result was that Tartarus's side suffered a complete defeat and the game ended in a draw.

He had witnessed Tartarus's power firsthand; that terrifying creature was utterly powerless against this monster.

Of course, this is the result after the opponent changes form.

At this moment, he was also puzzled as to what exactly the so-called Ten Blades were.

With his high IQ, he deduced the same guess as Tartarus.

……

Planet Absolut, the kingdom's underground space.

Tartarus shared all the information he had gathered with Chaos.

After receiving this information, Chaos fell silent.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Are you sure?"

Tartarus immediately assured him, "I saw all of this with my own eyes."

Chaos scoffed, "I don't think so."

"I have lived for countless years and have a thorough understanding of everything in the multiverse."

"But I've never heard of the organization called the Ten Blades."

"That's absolutely impossible."

"The only answer is that the Ten Blades Legion may really exist, but there aren't that many strong members."

"That guy named Zaki might be the mastermind behind it all."

"He only gave himself the number '2' to promote his organization."

"His strength is indeed somewhat troublesome, but that's all."

"Judging from the performance you described, he is no match for me at all."

Tartarus breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

As long as their king is confident.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to worry about the Ten Blades Legion?"

Tartarus asked cautiously.

Chaos said softly, "That's about it. Only that guy named Zaki is worth paying attention to."

"Moreover, this organization is small in number; judging from the name, there should only be ten people."

"As long as they aren't all strong like Zaki, this number won't affect our plans at all."

Tartarus felt that made sense.

He felt that this organization was probably just a bluff.

Otherwise, it would be truly unbelievable that so many powerful individuals would gather together.

Keep in mind that's at the level of Shenzhou IV.

The entire multiverse has developed for countless billions of years, and in this process, the number of powerful beings at the God-4 level can only be counted on one hand.

This shows how demanding the conditions for its creation were.

How could ten such powerful individuals be born so quietly, without leaving any trace in this universe?

This is completely unreasonable.

They were naturally unaware that underestimating the Ten Blades Legion had cost them a chance to uncover the truth.

……

"Zaki, come back!"

At Renn's command, Zaki transformed into a beam of light and arrived beside Renn.

The next moment, it transformed into a cold-tempered human youth.

This is Zaki's human form.

"You did well. In the coming days, take some time to familiarize yourself with your current power."

Raine gave the order and then turned around.

Meanwhile, Gai and Jugglus were still analyzing Zagi's identity.

Because they had been in contact with Rennes before.

Especially Jugglus Juggler, whose main target in this plan is also Rennes.

So they subconsciously believed that Zaki was actually Ryan.

Hong Kai, who initially had some reservations about Renn, now seems to have changed his opinion of him.

Although Ryan had fought him once and easily defeated him.

But since the other party was able to step forward at the critical moment, fight alongside him, and protect this earth, it means that the other party is not an enemy, but a comrade.

No matter how bad the relationship is, he believes that as long as they share the same stance, they can coexist peacefully.

As for Jugglus Juggler, he doesn't have the same mindset as Gai.

He was panicked and on the verge of collapse.

After planning for so long and seeing success on the horizon, how did such a monster suddenly appear out of nowhere?

After Zagi released his Zanpakuto, the energy fluctuations emanating from his body made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Even standing right in front of the other person, he couldn't muster the courage to swing his knife at them.

This is the intuition of a strong person.

Jugglus Juggler's proudest skill was his swordsmanship.

In terms of swordsmanship, he was completely outmatched by Zagi.

Zaki had never actually been exposed to kendo during his lifetime.

However, after becoming an Arrancar, his swordsmanship skills have improved substantially.

This is entirely an illusion.

In reality, Zagi's skills haven't improved in any substantial way; he's just stronger and faster.

So it looks like a significant improvement.

Even so, it still completely intimidated Jugglus Juggler.

Any move that is fast to an extreme, even the simplest one, will still look like a divine skill.

Jugglus's expression kept changing.

At this moment, he was caught in a deep dilemma.

According to his original plan, he was ultimately going to resurrect the final Dark Maga Serpent.

This would plunge the Earth into eternal darkness.

But now he's wavering.

Even if he resurrects Maga Orochi, can he really defeat that black figure?

Are you kidding me?
His knowledge is somewhat limited.

He used to think that Maga-Orochi was the most powerful life form he had ever seen, so he really believed that as long as Maga-Orochi was resurrected, he would be able to complete his final plan.

But what the heck is this now?

Why has Maga Orochi, the final boss, suddenly become so unimpressive?

He was also puzzled.

The figure named Zaki was clearly emanating an aura that subtly conveyed a sense of extreme darkness.

It's more like the ultimate darkness than Maga Serpent.

This is the supposed setting, but what the other party is doing is protecting the Earth.

This is completely different from the art style, okay?

He really didn't know what the other person was thinking.

This is simply a dark traitor.

But he only thought about it.

The other party's stance was clearly not on the same wavelength as his, and with such immense power, he was helpless for the time being.

He locked himself in a room for a long time.
