Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Ultimately, Subaru handed the problem back to Titan. The golden swordsman's eyes flashed, and he said in a resolute tone:

"Defeat Diablo as he is now, and bring him back to the 'Kingdom.' If there's still hope, the 'Kingdom' can surely help him regain his sanity. If not... then I will uphold Diablo's dignity as a warrior!"

"I understand. Let me help you."

Hearing this, Yuan Mao realized that this operation had returned to his familiar territory, and he was full of fighting spirit, ready to start the battle. However, just as Yuan Mao was about to begin, Titan stopped him again and said in a deep voice:

"If you feel it is necessary, you may kill Diablo."

It wasn't that the Titans had any ulterior motives, but rather that Diablo possessed the Absolute Heart, the source of his life. As long as this heart remained intact, Diablo could be resurrected, but there was a limit of five resurrections.

That's why Titan said that even a Titan in poor condition could take down Diablo during his rebirth.

"Okay, I'll avoid the heart, Mr. Titan, I'm going!"

After saying that, Gen Subaru opened his storage space and rushed out first, immediately attracting fierce firepower. Gen Subaru still used [Saga Hyper Acceleration] to bypass the area that was heavily hit by the meteor shower and saw Absolius Diablo, who was exuding an ominous green aura.

This warrior of the 'Kingdom' had golden armor-like skin all over his body, a pair of large, bull-shaped golden horns on his head that were particularly eye-catching, and the "Kingdom" symbol that seemed to be standard on his chest. At this moment, Diavolo's eyes suddenly lit up, and green flames immediately shot out from his eyes. He punched outward with both fists, and two familiar fire meteors rushed towards Gen Subaru.

However, what puzzled Gen Subaru at this moment was not Diavolo's attack, but the green energy wrapped around him. This energy gave him a complicated reaction, stemming from both an instinctive sense of closeness and... disgust. This was a feeling Gen Subaru was experiencing for the first time, like wearing underwear that hadn't been washed for years on the first day of the new year—disgusting and nauseating.

But no matter what, securing this golden Bighorn bull is the key right now!

Gen Subaru swung the lightsaber backhand, and with a flash of light, two fire meteors exploded. Then, in the firelight of the explosion, a deadly sword shadow emerged and slashed straight at Diablo's body, intending to sever his limbs before attempting to bind him.

However, with the support of that emerald energy, Gen Subaru saw with his own eyes that his ultimate slash struck Diablo's body without leaving any mark, and was directly deflected and shattered. Immediately afterward, two more energy attacks, like venomous snakes, snaked their trajectories and came toward Gen Subaru, only to be shattered by a golden slash wave.

"What kind of look is this?"

Titan, arriving a step too late, sword in hand, stared directly at the berserk Diablo and casually remarked to Genji:

"You didn't think I'd hide in the back, did you? Hmph, you underestimate me."

"In that case, let's fight side by side."

Gen Subaru infused a ball of pure white light into Titan's body. This energy, which seemed to be compatible with all things, immediately improved Titan's condition significantly. He seized the opportunity to gather energy in his scythe and hurled it at Diablo, shattering Diablo's attack.

At that moment, Titan, who was reaching out to retract his scythe, sensed a strong psychic energy fluctuation beside him. He then saw his weapon being manipulated and redirected, striking Diablo squarely on the forehead. Unfortunately, due to that layer of cyan energy, the attack, which even made Titan's head ache just by looking at it, still failed to achieve any substantial results.

"That shell is really too hard."

Titan caught the weapon that had been guided back by telekinesis and said in a solemn tone:

"Perhaps we need to change our strategy and stall until the 'Kingdom's' reinforcements arrive before launching a full-scale attack together."

"Let me try again. I still have quite a few tricks up my sleeve."

Subaru replied with a smile, and then, like a streak of light, launched an attack on Diablo. Meanwhile, the golden bull silently waved its arms as Nexus attacked.

At that very moment, an invisible shockwave spread out, and the fierce wind caused the Titan, who was about to follow up and coordinate, to stop in his tracks and take a step back.

Titan stared silently at his kin. Diablo was already known for his superhuman strength, but he never expected that his strength could be enhanced and amplified so much. Fortunately, he was seriously injured by Fire Meteor's sneak attack, otherwise, such a punch would probably have shattered his body.

Subaru also realized that the opponent's brute force was irresistible, so even after closing the distance, he did not choose to confront him head-on. He rolled on the spot to avoid Diablo's attack, and then used [Void Transformation] to avoid the spinning windmill attack with both arms. Afterwards, two clones separated from Nexus's main body and pounced on Diablo's hands.

However, for Diablo at this moment, these clones were nothing more than objects that could be dealt with with a single punch. Thus, in the midst of his swung fists, the two clones were instantly shattered into countless particles of light.

Seeing this, Gen Subaru immediately clenched his fist, and the mist-like light particles instantly adhered to Diablo's body, igniting a raging flame. No matter how Diablo tried, he could not extinguish it. In the end, it was the surge of green energy that completely engulfed the burning light particles, which were like maggots clinging to bones, and finally ended this terrible burning.

But during this lull, Gen Subaru was not idle. He quickly set up one energy drill after another, stabbing Diablo from all directions, trying to replicate the tactics he used to destroy Maga Orochi, to pierce Diablo's shell and detonate it from the inside.

However, it was still because of that green energy, this energy of unknown origin, that Diablo received almost comprehensive support, allowing him to withstand all the attacks without injury.

What is this strange thing?!

To be honest, this was the first time Genji had encountered such a situation, and he was a little confused. However, he quickly came up with a new strategy. He used super speed to dodge Diablo's attack and teleported to his side. At the same time, Nexus's arm turned into pure white light and struck Diablo.

Yuan Mao's idea was simple: no matter what this green energy of yours is, as long as you can be assimilated by the pure white light, then there is a possibility of being able to break through.

Subaru's idea was correct, but what he didn't expect was that the moment the pure white light touched Diablo's body, a terrifying energy shock suddenly erupted. Regardless of the two people in the center, the Titan who had finally managed to rush forward against Diablo's fire meteor was sent flying again, embedded in the distant mountain, and as the impact continued, it flew towards the distant horizon along with the mountain.

However, Subaru teleported in time and caught Titan steadily, thus preventing the swordsman from Absolut from being injured even more severely.

"What...what exactly is going on?"

This time, Titan was basically incapacitated. Even with the infusion of pure white light, it was only enough to keep him alive. Faced with Titan's question, Gen Subaru fell silent. He didn't know what was going on either, but at least... for now... in terms of effect, the pure white light seemed to have a special effect on that cyan energy... Hmm... that doesn't seem quite right, anyway, it works!

Genma shook his head in annoyance, then sent Titan into his storage space to avoid the possible impact. He then charged towards Diablo, who was chasing after him, once again raising the pure white light.

Then, amidst continuous, deafening explosions, the barren planet finally succumbed to the increasingly violent impact and was destroyed. Gen Subaru clutched his chest; the relentless shocks were beginning to break him, but thankfully...

Gen Subaru swallowed the blood that rose to his throat, took a few deep breaths, and looked at the golden heart he held in his hand. In the final clash with the green energy, Diavolo's body completely collapsed. If Gen Subaru hadn't prepared [Void Transformation] in advance to help the heart withstand the damage, there might not be a Diavolo in the 'Kingdom'.

At this moment, the heart was still beating weakly, clearly undamaged, and there was no other excess energy reaction. Diablo's rescue plan was basically a success.

Thinking of this, Yuan Mao hurriedly opened his storage space, released Titan, and after handing over the heart, Yuan Mao was about to collapse and dissipate. But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, gritted his teeth, interrupted his 'return to the city', and struggled to maintain his existence. Clutching his chest, he looked at Titan and said weakly:

"When will your reinforcements arrive? I'll wait until you've finished coordinating before I leave."

".....Thanks a lot."

Looking at the giant before him, his body riddled with cracks, Titan cradled Diablo's heart, offering heartfelt thanks to this warrior whose name he still didn't know. Then, Titan mentally calculated the time, glanced somewhat puzzled towards the 'Kingdom,' and whispered:

"But then again, the reinforcements should have arrived by now, they shouldn't be this slow... Could something have delayed them? That can't be right..."

140 The Corrupted 'Kingdom'

"Could it be because I blew up this planet?"

Listening to Titan's whisper, Gen Subaru thought for a moment and then took over the conversation somewhat awkwardly. Although the explosion of a planet would not affect the location of spatial coordinates, what if the 'Kingdom' had a unique positioning system?

Titan shook his head and said softly:

"No, it's just the explosion of a planet. Besides, given the kingdom's speed of action, they should have arrived before the planet exploded..."

"Hmm...how about we go and take a look at your place?"

Upon hearing this, Gen Subaru thought for a moment and suggested to Titan that he also regress Nexus's form to its juvenile form. After all, the consumption of pure white light in the battle just now was extremely severe, to the point that it could not be used as a buffer to maintain the stability of the youth form. The cracks that Titan saw were not entirely due to the impact of the collision; the insufficiency of pure white light was also one of the reasons for the cracks.

Therefore, regressing to a juvenile form that primarily consumes light and dark energy is more beneficial for Subaru's current endurance and injuries.

At this moment, Gen Subaru also noticed Titan's hesitant look as he looked at him, and understood what he was thinking. He smiled and said:

"It's okay, as long as I don't use the red form I just used, the pressure won't be too great."

"But your injuries..."

“Hey, it’s not like you’re missing an arm or a leg, what kind of injury is this? Come on, Mr. Titan, I think you must be worried about your homeland right now.”

Indeed, seeing that reinforcements had not arrived and there was no news from the kingdom, Titan couldn't help but think of the spacetime rift mentioned in the previous report. Various bad speculations flooded his mind. Therefore, Titan did not waste any more time and pointed out the location of the kingdom to Gen Subaru.

Gen Subaru nodded, waved his hands, and red energy enveloped him and Titan. Then he began to move at high speed. By the way, during the journey, both he and Titan could slow down. After all, including Diablo, who only had his heart left, the three of them probably couldn't even get a full health bar.

At that moment, Subaru remembered something and looked at Titan, saying:

"Has Mr. Tartarus not returned to the kingdom yet? The energy I left behind when we last met should be enough for him."

"I don't know, maybe he's busy with other things."

Titan thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly in response. He then casually asked how Gen Subaru knew Tartarus, and Gen Subaru honestly told Titan the story.

Then, Titan looked at the Diablo Heart in his hand, and then at his own reflection on the sword. He fell silent, feeling somewhat weary. Who could have imagined that all the top experts in his kingdoms would be directly or indirectly killed because of this inexplicably appearing spacetime rift? It just goes to show that when you're unlucky, you can get crippled just by going out the door.

At the same time, Titan's eyes were filled with gratitude and respect as he looked at Gen Ang. Without his help, the kingdom would have suffered a great loss. But what is his name? I haven't asked him yet.

At this moment, Titan, suddenly realizing the problem, quickly coughed to attract Gen Subaru's attention, and then said in a somewhat unnatural tone:

"I...I don't think I've asked your name yet..."

"Huh? Didn't I introduce myself? Sorry, I was too busy fighting."

Gen Subaru paused for a moment, then said softly:

"I am Subaru Gen from Earth, Ultraman Nexus who protects humanity. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Well, nice to meet you."

Titan secretly noted it down. Then, he noticed that Gen Ang's gaze towards him was somewhat subtle, and he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to ask me?"

"Well, I just suddenly remembered it, it's about this."

Gen Subaru raised his hand expectantly. Seeing this familiar starting stance, Titan's brow twitched, as if he had guessed something. Then, he silently watched Gen Subaru slowly lower his hand in a chanting tone, pressing it against the energy lamp on his chest, and said:

"I am a warrior of the ultimate life form, the Absolut..."

Then, Gen Subaru suddenly flipped his hand outward, pointed at himself with his thumb, and continued:

“Absolut Tartarus, this is him, Mr. Titan. Do you also make similar movements?”

"...This is Tartarus's personal preference."

To be honest, when faced with Genjiro's expectant gaze, Titan did consider whether he should just strike a pose and cooperate, but in the end, Titan felt it was too embarrassing. He decided to let Tartarus appreciate such things himself, so he answered Genjiro's question tactfully. Genjiro responded with an "oh" and did not continue to dwell on the topic.

Just then, Yuan Mao suddenly slammed on the brakes, his expression serious as he reached out to sense the surrounding spacetime fluctuations. There was no doubt that something was wrong with the situation nearby, like a watermelon that had fallen; the outside might be fine, but the inside might have already cracked open.

"Further ahead lies the kingdom."

At this moment, Titan also sensed the strange aura around him, as if something dangerous had swum past, and the lingering aura caused the creatures to feel an instinctive sense of crisis and unease.

Both Subaru and Titan sensed the lingering green energy.

"We need to speed things up!"

Gen Subaru whispered something, then transformed into a red ball and sped towards the kingdom. Not long after, the two of them saw a huge cloud of cyan energy floating above the golden planet.
