Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"Who are you? This, this enormous...god? Can you be called a god? Or something like that...?"

“I am neither a believer nor an apostle, but a prophet, the one destined to awaken and once again plunge this planet into darkness. The words I have reserved will be conveyed to people in the future.”

Uchihara walked past the person he had replaced and headed toward the door the person he had replaced had exited.

He left a thin footprint on the sand after he walked away.

Could it be that he's abandoned me?

This unease comes over the person being replaced, so the person being replaced stands up and chases after him.

However, by this time, the person being replaced no longer had a body. His body had been devoured by countless oarfish, leaving him with only a head, lying quietly on the sand.

If another deep-sea vessel were to visit this place, it might discover his head, now reduced to adipocere.

But will that moment ever come? More importantly, was this planet once shrouded in darkness, and all humanity perished? For the one whose head has been replaced by a mannequin, that is something forever unknowable…

P.S.: This period has been really unlucky. Not only have I been working overtime every day, but the Genshin Impact character banners have all had pity pulls, and while Arknights doesn't have a pity pull, it's practically the same. And then the Yomi's signature weapon banner pulled a character I already owned, Jessie J! I wanted to grit my teeth and spend money to pull for it, but looking at my wallet, I can't even afford to grit my teeth. It's so frustrating. Why is everything going so badly lately? It's so frustrating...

Within this time bubble, the story of the person who was replaced ends here. However, Subaru's mission is not yet over. The person who was replaced was undoubtedly tainted by a rather ominous aura of an evil god, which led to his current fate.

However, the experience of the person being replaced does not mean that this poor fellow is the target of the evil gods; he is just an innocent person who was randomly affected.

This aura of an evil god...

Although they are not related to primordial energy, they are somewhat similar in their manifestation, and such similarity may lead to their assimilation into primordial energy.

See, isn't this exactly the case?

Gen Subaru raised his head and looked up at the sky, where a turquoise light was flickering, attempting to influence the world.

If Genjou is not mistaken, this time bubble should have been separated from Earth by Daigo Madoka, since he also sensed a faint and familiar light reaction on the person being replaced.

Furthermore, if Gen Subaru's guess is correct, this guy wants to modify this time bubble and then reintegrate it into the timeline of Daigo's Earth, thereby influencing the development of the entire Earth.

Damn it, this primordial creation... is actually proficient in such methods!

Yuan Mao's expression was unfriendly, especially since he hadn't seen the appearance of the Time Waterfall gatekeeper. This meant that the method had probably also distorted the perception on the other side of the Time Waterfall. In this way, the enemy's goal was achieved without anyone noticing.

Ok? !

Just as Gen Subaru was waiting for the enemy to begin making formal modifications so he could make his move, he saw that the enemy suddenly disappeared. This made Gen Subaru's expression quite subtle. He hadn't expected this guy to be so cautious, probably retreating immediately after sensing his presence.

To be honest, this was the first time Minamoto no Subaru had encountered such an enemy, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

but....

We absolutely cannot let him continue like this; we must find a way to take him down.

Gen Subaru turned and left the time bubble, arriving at the end of the River of Time. After thinking for a moment, he activated his [Comparison] ability to observe the changes. Soon, Gen Subaru found what he was looking for. He forcefully waved his hand and tore off the entry. A time bubble that had been modified and was merging into TPC Earth was forcibly pulled back.

Almost simultaneously, Gen Subaru slipped inside and began his plan....

In this time bubble, at dusk, a warm breeze suddenly blew through the White Fox Forest. The lush oak and nanmu trees swayed their leaves in the wind, making a rustling sound, as if mocking a samurai sitting quietly in a tree.

—The master will be here soon—

—This samurai's life is about to end—

The samurai sat there with his eyes closed, seemingly frozen in place, paying no heed to the whispers among the trees.

—Why hasn't the master come yet?—

—If we could absorb the samurai's rotting flesh, our leaves would surely bloom into an even more magnificent crimson by autumn—

The trees began to stir restlessly again.

Ah.

A smile appeared on the samurai's lips.

Because he, like the trees growing in this forest, was waiting for the forest's master, a demon, to appear.

suddenly.

The wind suddenly stopped, and the trees fell silent, as if everything had been erased from sight and sound in an instant, and the forest was shrouded in silence.

In the blink of an eye, the samurai seemed to sense something. He immediately stood up and landed on the ground from the tree with lightning speed.

*Smack*

With a muffled thud, a chunk of the tree the samurai had been sitting on was ripped away. Luckily, the samurai reacted quickly; otherwise, he would likely have been reduced to a bloody pulp, unrecognizable as a human. The samurai drew his sword and shouted:

"Evil spirit, show yourself!"

"Hehehe."

Laughter, seemingly coming from nowhere, echoed dimly in the forest.

"Hahaha, it seems you're quite arrogant about your kung fu."

The owner of the voice finally appeared before the samurai. He was slender with regular features, and his shoulder-length white hair seemed to glow. At first glance, no one would associate this beautiful young man with a cannibalistic monster. However, the samurai was not fooled by his appearance. What he saw was the terrifying aura hidden in the empty eyes of the demon, and the samurai couldn't help but feel tense.

This ghost is probably going to be very difficult to deal with....

The samurai had faced countless demons and monsters throughout his life, and the experience of each battle had honed his extraordinary intuition. His intuition told him that he needed to be extremely cautious with this opponent.

A bead of sweat trickled down the samurai's brow. The master of the forest seemed to sense the samurai's nervousness, a smug smile spreading across his face as he asked the samurai:

"Samurai, I ask you, why did you kill me?"

"Because you eat people, which is against nature and reason."

Hearing the samurai's reply, the demon laughed even more unrestrainedly:

"Ridiculous. If that's the case, what about you humans yourselves?"

"......"

"Humans spend their days killing and waging war, destroying ethics and committing heinous crimes. The lives you slaughter and the crimes you commit are no less than those of my demon race."

After saying this, the demon looked at the samurai as if he were so pitiful.

“Our demon race does indeed harm people to eat. It is because if we do not eat people, our own lives will not be safe. But what about humans? You only repeat meaningless killings. In my opinion, you are the most pathetic worms in this world.”

After listening to the demon's eloquent speech, the samurai was relieved of his tension.

Ghosts and monsters are often talkative.

They were adept at portraying themselves as paragons of righteousness, exploiting their opponents' doubts and hesitations to win them over psychologically. The demon before them was nothing more than another monster. It wasn't much different from the vast majority of demons slain in the life of a wandering samurai. The samurai smiled and said to the demon before him:

"I have listened to your eloquent discourse. However, the reason why I slew the demons has nothing to do with what you have said."

Upon hearing this reply, the demon seemed to sense a hint of danger.

"how do I say this?"

The samurai smiled slightly and replied:

"My slaying of demons is ordained by destiny."

"Fate?"

"Indeed. It is your destiny to be born a demon, and it is also the destiny of people to be obsessed with killing and fighting all day long."

"If that's the case, then is your destiny to slay demons and monsters?"

A look of hatred gradually appeared on the demon's beautiful face.

"You, you are that... that Jing Tian Jing Long?"

From the demon's jade-like fingers emerged sharp claws as hard as steel. The samurai nodded slightly in response.

"It's down."

"You bastard! So many of my companions have died at your hands. This forest will be your grave today!"

"I wander the world, without family or relatives, and have no need for a grave or monument."

"Stop being so cheeky!"

As the evil spirit howled, it rushed toward Ida Iryu at a speed invisible to ordinary people.

Iida Iryu was naturally very familiar with the demon's moves and techniques, and his sword made a sharp sound.

In an instant, a fierce wind swept through the forest.

The trees rustled and swayed.

A mournful scream echoed throughout the forest before suddenly disappearing.

The demon's limbs had been separated from his body, and his flesh had been dismembered beyond recognition.

"Well...Dragon..."

As the demon lay dying, he weakly called out the name of his enemy, and in the end, there seemed to be a smile on his face.

"I'll be waiting for you in...hell."

After saying this, the evil spirit died.

In truth, this evil spirit brought about its own demise. If it hadn't talked to Jinglong so much and had instead gone straight for Jinglong's head, Jinglong would probably have been torn to pieces and become its food by now. How could it have had the luck to draw its sword and kill the ghost?

After sheathing his sword, Ida Ryu let out a long sigh of relief.
