However, although Maga Orochi's beam attacks are extremely fast, if Subaru Minamoto were to use his Baby Nexus to counter it, he would likely be suppressed by the attack that would rush straight to his face as soon as it was activated.

However, the high mobility of [Saga Super Acceleration] gave Gen Subaru an advantage in this battle. Like a terrifying attack, he dodged it the moment he realized it, and arrived next to Maga Orochi. With a flick of his right hand, the lightsaber fell into his hand. He bent down to avoid the snake head on Maga Orochi's body, and aimed at its waist, stabbing down with the sword.

However, this sword strike did not achieve the effect that Subaru wanted. The blade of the lightsaber was blocked by Maga Orochi's tough and resilient skin, but the power of [Void] transformed into a new blade and pierced through this defense.

However, even within the skin of the Maga Serpent, there was surging energy. Gen Subaru could clearly feel the slowing of the blade's progress. Although the blade did penetrate and pierce the Maga Serpent's interior, it was immediately destroyed by the violent energy within its body.

Realizing his attack had failed, Gen Subaru immediately retreated to avoid the Maga Serpent's tentacles, which were flailing wildly in pain. The child looked at the lightsaber in his hand, its blade now dim, and silently put it away. Then he twirled his fist, and dark energy, like veins, instantly appeared on his hands, making Nexus's arms look even thicker.

At the same time, behind Gen Subaru, five figures of Nexus in their youth form quietly emerged from the light.

What kind of giant snake is this? Let me show you my new trick!

With a low roar, Subaru's clones immediately unleashed their Ultra Disc Blades, severing the obstructing tentacles. Then, his main body used [Saga Super Acceleration] to rush to Maga Orochi's side, grabbing the severed tentacle roots with one hand and seizing the serpent's head that was biting him with the other. With a twist of his waist and a sudden burst of strength, he forcefully flung the monster into the air.

Maga-Orochi roared, its entire body surging with flames. Fireballs slammed into Genji's body almost to his face, but Nexus's body was covered by a pure white light shield. This defense allowed Genji to continue moving. He grabbed Maga-Orochi and spun it around a few times before letting go and throwing it into the sky.

Then, the clones, which were already prepared, jumped up with a "thud," their bodies began to shrink, and they began to spin rapidly. The five clones flew towards Maga Orochi like five drills.

Subaru launched particle feathers or Ultra Disc Blades from the ground, interrupting Maga-Orochi's various skills and allowing the five drills to land smoothly on Maga-Orochi.

Instantly, Maga Serpent's painful roar echoed across the desolate planet, and after a brief stalemate, the five clones successfully broke through Maga Serpent's defenses, sending their shrunken selves into the monster's body.

Then, Gen Subaru snapped his fingers, and the intensified energy of his clones exploded instantly. The next second, even Tartarus on the satellite saw the spectacular explosion.

Hmph, just as I expected.

Gen Subaru clapped his hands, put his hands on his hips triumphantly, looked at the dismembered remains of Maga Orochi, and thought to himself.

My [Armor-Piercing Ultra Bomb] is indeed quite effective against these tough monsters, almost like a special attack. However, this battle revealed a blind spot I hadn't noticed before; I need to rethink how to use the lightsaber...

"What a great fight."

At that moment, Gen Subaru heard a familiar voice. He turned his head and saw a golden spatial exit unfolding not far away. Tartarus walked out of it, clapping as he did so.

These weren't just words to comfort a child; they were Tartarus's heartfelt reflections. On his homeworld, the Kingdom, there were very few warriors who could end a battle with the Maga Serpent so quickly, so...

This kid is really good at fighting, especially the one who finished things off with a clone and a self-destruction. This combination is... brutal, too brutal.

Tartarus couldn't help but marvel inwardly. As the old saying goes, this trip has truly broadened his horizons. Before, when you said that such a small child could kill the fully grown Maga Serpent, he would have treated it as a cosmic fraud.

But then again, what exactly is wrong with this child?

Tartarus stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled. He could tell that the child was a seasoned fighter, someone who had been through countless battles. But the problem was, how old was he? He couldn't possibly have started practicing fighting monsters in the womb.

Could it be a special custom on his home planet?

Tartarus quickly came up with another hypothesis, which he found quite reasonable. After all, the universe was too vast, and all kinds of races existed. However, if it were true, this race would be far too cruel, not even sparing such a child.

Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, the light that the child used to transform just now should be the light of Nexus... So, does that mean his race worships Ultraman Noa?

Tartarus thought about it a lot, but decided to ask a reliable person for the time being, since the child didn't seem to know much.

Then, Tartarus looked at Subaru, who was also observing him for some reason, and asked softly:

"Child, are you all alone in this galaxy? Where is your family?"

"Huh? Family members?"

Unexpectedly, Tartarus asked a question, and Subaru, who was thinking about how to ask, paused for a moment, his little brain instinctively saying:

"My mother-in-law and the rest of the family can't keep up."

"So that means you ran away all by yourself?"

Tartarus raised an eyebrow and said softly:

"Even though I'm doomed if you hadn't escaped, I still have to say, you escaped alone..."

No, given this kid's fighting ability, if he encounters bad guys, which side would be in more danger?!

Tartarus paused for a moment, then immediately changed his words:

“Your parents will worry if you run away alone. Your father might even get angry and spank you.”

"impossible."

Gen Subaru waved his hand and casually said:

“My father died a long time ago, so he never had the chance to spank me. Even if he were to come back to life, if he were still incorrigible and wanted to lay a hand on everyone, I would have to lay him down again.”

".....cough."

Tartarus had only intended to make a joke, to tease the child, but he hadn't expected the question to elicit such a discordant family situation. For a moment, he was speechless, and could only cough awkwardly and say softly:

"Well, where is your home planet? I'll send you back. At least... your mother will worry about you, won't she?"

“Mr. Tartarus…”

Gen Subaru looked helplessly at the little golden statue in front of him and said:

“I have never met my mother, and I don’t even know what race she is, so let’s skip this topic. I’m afraid you’ll feel embarrassed if I keep asking.”

This is so awkward! Ugh!!!

Tartarus nodded expressionlessly, inwardly screaming with frustration. At the same time, he quickly pulled out a thick book, which he had originally intended as a farewell gift, but now had to bring it out to change the subject.

"Didn't you want to go to Mr. Delacion to ask for teaching materials? You don't need to now. While you were dealing with Maga Orochi, I was just killing time, so I wrote one for you. Take it and use it; there shouldn't be any mistakes."

"It's so thick..."

Gen Subaru stared in astonishment at the book, which was taller than his head. He picked it up and flipped through it, discovering that the book revealed a whole new world inside, with far more content than it appeared on the outside.

The book and the handwriting were clearly created by Tartarus using his limited energy, and considering the language barrier, he also applied a telekinetic communication technique to make it easier for Subaru to understand.

It's clear that Tartarus is very interested in this.

but...

"Mr. Tartarus, could you please divide it into chapters? I'd like to skip around and learn it..."

"That won't do, these are all basics."

Tartarus patiently explained:

"There won't be many of these things. You can learn them slowly. Once you've learned them, you won't have the same doubts you had just now."

But you know, I think this book could outlive me in the long run.

Gen Subaru hesitated, then quietly picked up the book and, with Tartarus's assistance, entered all its contents into the 'Ark' system. Seeing the Ark system notification pop-up window instantly fill up its storage space, Gen Subaru quietly changed the subject, pointing to the location where Tartarus had just appeared and saying:

"Mr. Tartarus, what was that move you just made?"

"Narak is a special space that I created using my own power, similar to a pocket universe."

Tartarus, of course, understood Subaru's little scheme, and said with a smile:

"Don't even think about that move, but in the book I just gave you, there are similar spatial principles. Once you learn them, you should be able to create a similar space."

"That's it."

Gen Subaru continued softly, then sighed inwardly with a sense of utter despair, resigned to his fate and knowing he had no choice but to force himself to finish the book.

No, maybe the people at TLT and the visitors can help me. I'll go back and check.

Now that the learning issue is resolved, let's talk about Tartarus's home planet. At this point, Tartarus's smile became somewhat strained. He looked at Gen Subaru and said softly:

"Finding Delacion is by no means easy; basically, he's the one looking for others, so..."

"Why don't you try to find Ultraman Justice?"

At this moment, Gen Subaru hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

"That Ultraman seems to have connections with Delacion. Maybe he can pass on your message. If he asks who introduced you, just say it's the Space Ronin Hack... Don't look at me like that. When you're out and about, what's wrong with having a cool nickname? As for the state of your home planet... try using this as a temporary measure."

Gen Subaru lit up his primal light and said thoughtfully:

“My light has a strong inclusiveness. If we adjust it a little, we should be able to postpone the destruction. That way, you’ll have enough time to find Mr. Delacion or find another way. I think that should work, right?”

"This...is indeed a feasible method."

Listening to Gen Ang's words, Tartarus pondered for a moment and thought the suggestion was good. He could take the child back to the kingdom along the way. To be honest, ever since they met, he had sensed that something was off about the child, but he was in too poor a state to perceive him any further.

So, after bringing him back to the kingdom, we'll do a quick check-up. If everything's alright, then we can talk about other things. If he really is an orphan, we can consider letting him settle down in the kingdom. This kid is quite lovable, he's definitely... um?!

Just as Tartarus was pondering how to persuade Gen Ang to come with him, he suddenly sensed something was wrong with the fluctuations around him. He looked up sharply and saw that the child was already enveloped in a ball of pure white light.

Then, outside the white sphere, several beams of light were swirling around it, and those beams were being rapidly assimilated by the pure white light. Before Tartarus could react to what was happening, all that remained in front of him was a ball of pure white light overflowing with energy.

Tartarus took a step forward, his hand touching the sphere of light, and immediately the words left behind by Subaru entered his mind:

"I'll get you some light to take back with you first. I hope it really helps your home planet."

So that's how it is, so that's how it is, so this child is a light particle aggregate.

Only then did Tartarus understand why he had sensed something was wrong with the child. He didn't have a physical body; he was merely a collection of energy, and now... he seemed to have transformed all his light particles...

and many more!

Tartarus realized something and hurriedly cupped the ball of light, beginning to sense it intently. If he were a collection of light particles, perhaps his consciousness still existed within it.

However, after a short while, Tartarus swayed, took two steps back, and sat down on the rock with a thud, staring blankly at the ball of light.

No, there was nothing in that light. Just as the child named it, it was pure white light, pure and flawless. This means that the child... in order to help himself, over-transformed and... erased his own existence?
