Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Seeing this, Gen Subaru chased after him without hesitation. Near the upper base of TLT-J, an alien wearing golden armor, a red mask, and a red scarf stood there. He had a pair of large horns that curved forward on his head, and wing-like decorations that extended backward from the armor, forming a halo-like shape behind him.

"Nexus, the Ultra Warrior of this universe."

The Minion waved the scarf draped over his arm and said in a very gentlemanly tone:

"I'm sorry, but to stop you from continuing your evil deeds, Lady Arena and I have sealed you away!"

"Doing evil? You must have misunderstood."

Sensing a possible misunderstanding, Gen Subaru, while not dismounting, softened his tone slightly and asked, puzzled:

"Tell me, if you may, I don't enjoy fighting with you."

"There's nothing to say about that!"

The girl named Arena stood on the Minion's shoulder, clutching her aching chest, and roared with a ferocious expression:

"Ultraman destroyed my home, you evil guys deserve this!"

As she spoke, Arena raised the magic mirror at her waist and waved it at the sky. Immediately, a strange space appeared in the air. In that space, Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Orb, Ultraman Ginga, Ultraman Victory, Ultraman Gaia, Ultraman Agul, Ultraman X, and two other Ultra Warriors she didn't recognize were all trapped in the card-like mirror.

Clearly, the trapped Ultra Warriors could also sense the outside world; at least the goofy Tiga lying on the mirror, waving and greeting people, was definitely Daigo Madoka.

"Let them go!"

Gen Subaru pointed at Arena and said coldly:

"Although there are some Ultra Warriors I don't recognize, the others are definitely not evil people!"

"Lady Arena, there's no need for you to listen to this bunch of scoundrels. It's dangerous here. Let me take you back to Time City."

However, the other side showed no intention of negotiating. The Minion lifted Arena up, and then a huge spacetime vortex appeared. Like an inverted spinning top, layer upon layer of cities slowly appeared in front of Gen Subaru. Arena landed steadily on it under the Minion's power.

"Hmph, just you wait and see how we defeat this Ultraman!"

Alena didn't close the strange space, but instead let the Ultra Warriors inside take a good look. Of course, to prevent these Ultra Warriors from causing trouble, she still cut off the communication channel between the strange space and reality.

"Hmph, it's not certain who will defeat whom!"

Hearing Arena's words, Daigo Madoka naturally retorted with a thousand objections. He had witnessed Subaru's strength firsthand, and although he had been humiliated by his own defeat, it didn't diminish his respect for Subaru.

"Senior Subaru is incredibly powerful!"

"That's right, Senior Nexus is not an Ultra Warrior that can be defeated easily!"

Daichi Ozora echoed firmly, saying:

"Go for it, Nexus-senpai! Show this bastard what's what!"

"What a disgrace! This time, we've had to rely on Senior Gen Subaru to get us out of this mess again..."

Hikaru and Sho exchanged a glance, and Hikaru said in a bitter and helpless tone:

"I really hope this can help him..."

"Hey, how old are you all?"

As these people spoke, Hong Kai's eyes were changing little by little, and finally he couldn't help but interrupt and say something.

This question surprised everyone present, and Daigo Madoka answered honestly:

"I'm twenty-three years old. What's wrong, Senior Hong Kai?"

"Um..."

Hong Kai silently pointed to the Meta Realm unfolding below and said softly:

"Yuan Mao is four years old this year."

???

"The transformation into Nexus will not last more than two months."

???????

Are you sure you want to call him "senior"?

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Hong Kai couldn't help but retort:

"Although this sounds outrageous, it's probably true. Don't look at me with such skeptical eyes."

"...Let me ask you that."

At this moment, the Ultraman that Subaru didn't recognize, whose main color was blue, asked in a slightly trembling voice:

Which four-year-old is it?

"You're right, Gauss is four years old."

"Oh my God."

Upon hearing this, Dyna, another Ultra Warrior whom Subaru had never met, rubbed his head, feeling a chill run down his spine. Four years old?! When he was four, he probably hadn't even figured out how to play with mud properly...

"Noah... are they really that short-handed over there?"

At this moment, Ultraman Ginga whispered:

"I have indeed heard that in the future, the host of Ultraman Noa might appear in various corners of the universe, but... having such a young child fight monsters seems a bit excessive..."

"Four years old, 1.8 meters tall, with prominent secondary sexual characteristics..."

"Hiroya, what are you muttering about?"

At this moment, Takayama Gamu overheard Fujimiya Hiroya's mutterings and asked curiously. Fujimiya Hiroya paused in his rambling, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Well, although I don't really understand, but... he mentioned before that his cells are unstable, right? Is it possible that it's because he's growing so fast...?"

You've got the cause and effect wrong.

Hong Kai said expressionlessly:

"Although I am only guessing now, the child's body is collapsing and his lifespan may be coming to an end. So everyone, if we can return to our respective worlds after this battle, let's think of ways to solve his problem and let him live a few more days."

Just as the Ultra Warriors in the strange world fell silent, in Meta Realm, the Minion surveyed his surroundings with interest and chuckled as he said:

"I never expected there to be such a little trick. It's really interesting."

“…”

Gen Subaru didn't speak. Since this guy had already attacked Daigo and the others, he was now an enemy, and he never had much to say to his enemies.

"Hmph, pretending to be an expert by not saying a word?"

The Minion dodged Nexus's Particle Feather, calmly spun around, and spread its arms, saying:

"What an impolite fellow. But while you may be impolite, I cannot be. I am Etelgar, the time warrior who pursues and seals Ultraman. Remember my name, Nexus."

After saying that, Etelgar waved his hands, and his existence resonated with the Time-Space City. The powerful spacetime force tore a gap in Meta Domain and escaped from it. To be honest, you should never fight in a domain world that is obviously the opponent's home ground and can absorb your energy.

Next, I need to find a way to practice Metaspace properly.

Watching Etelgar escape, Subaru remained calm, mentally setting a new training goal for himself. He then deactivated the Meta Field, his body emitting a red light, and caught up with Etelgar in the air.

In the next second, the Ultra Warriors in the mirror saw two streaks of light, one red and one yellow, collide at high speed. The energy fluctuations generated by each collision rippled through the space. Only after the final, powerful collision, which resembled a planetary explosion, did Nexus and Etelgar finally break free from their high-speed state and stand facing each other beside the Time-Space City.

"interesting."

Eltaga shook the red scarf, unwrapping it from his arm. His tone became more serious. To be honest, if it weren't for his [Demon God Protection], he definitely wouldn't be able to speak so casually here, after all...

Seeing Nexus unharmed on the other side, Eltaga's eyes sharpened—

I couldn't hurt him at all just now. What kind of combat reaction was that? It was terrifying.

Sure enough, to kill him, we have to break through his tough shell first. With a lightsaber?

Gen Subaru sized up Etelgar. In that instant, the Minion felt like a fish on a chopping board, being scrutinized and scrutinized for how to cut him. This terrifying killing intent made him clench his fists tightly.

Let's forget about the lightsaber. After all, if we split the clone, the energy consumption would be too high if we also sent the lightsaber along with it.

Gen Subaru had already tested this in the Deep Blue Space. In addition, given that his talent in swordsmanship was relatively average, the kind of lightsaber siege formation was not worthwhile.

With this in mind, Gen Subaru immediately made a plan. Then, a flash of light appeared on his body, and three clones appeared behind Nexus.

Is it going to explode?!

Upon seeing the appearance of the clone, all the Ultra Warriors except Cosmos and Dyna had the same thought in their minds. When Etelgar saw the clone, he raised his right hand to his chest without hesitation and waved it outward, sending out a meteor shower of fire energy bullets.

The sealed Ultra Warriors had all seen this move before, but when they used it against them, the energy blasts weren't this dense.

Faced with such an attack, the Nexus creatures still charged forward without hesitation, shrinking, using their guillotines to clear a path, or flying up and down to avoid areas with dense energy blasts, each displaying their unique abilities to reach Etalgar's side one after another.

Damn it, get out of my way!

Seeing this, Etelgar tore off the scarf and swung it like a whip, forcing back the No. 1 Nexus whose hands were radiating intense heat and interrupting the No. 2 Nexus that was releasing beams of light.

At this moment, Etelgar flicked his hand again, entangled the number three who wanted to launch a sneak attack, and pulled him forward, wanting him to collide with the number four that was flying at high speed. However, the number one and number two that had switched places immediately released the M87 beam and the cross beam storm, forcing Etelgar to make tactical evasion.

Damn it, I can't see this clone.

As Etelgar surveyed the Nexus warriors who had ultimately surrounded him, a sense of unease crept into his heart. And as the Ultra Disc Blade suddenly appeared, buzzing in the hands of the four Ultra Warriors, the Minion felt an even stronger sense of foreboding...
