Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

With a muffled roar, a piece of flesh the size of Nexus's fist was blasted off the back of the Dark Giant, causing the giant to let out a painful howl. The ferocious Dark Giant turned around, and crimson energy lightning instantly enveloped the mountain range where Gen Subaru was located. Kazuya Eisuke watched helplessly as the entire mountain was blasted into the sky by the energy lightning.

"Pleiades..."

Heijiro Kura closed his eyes in anguish, two lines of tears silently sliding down his cheeks. But immediately, the Night Raid captain opened his eyes, his gaze resolute as he maneuvered his fighter jet toward the dark giant. Today was also his day of death... Hmm?

Just as Kazuya Eisuke was determined to crash the giant into it with his fighter jet after running out of ammunition, he suddenly saw the dark giant stop in its tracks, turn around sharply, and let out a wary roar. Kazuya Eisuke looked in that direction and saw a point of light suddenly appear in the dust raised by the explosion of the mountain range. Then, in the shining four-pointed star light, a figure emerged. He raised one fist high and the other fist bent and raised to his head, standing between heaven and earth, blowing away the dust that was entangled around him.

This new giant is entirely silver-white, with silver-gray stripes scattered across its body. These stripes separate the entire silver-white area, resembling the outlines of modules such as gloves and shoulder armor, as well as winding streams on the earth and scattered clouds in the sky, which eventually converge at its chest from all directions, forming a fragmented ring around the inverted triangular energy lamp.

On the top of his head was a protrusion that extended backwards, a common feature of Ultra Warriors. However, after slightly extending beyond the back of his head, the protrusion ended inwards and downwards with a relatively smooth cut. At the point where the end of the protrusion met his brow, a small round gem was embedded in it.

The protrusion has slightly flattened indentations on both sides, making it look more like a horn, but the patterns make the giant's head look like it is wearing a helmet, and the end of the protrusion looks like a matching ear of grain.

The most obvious features are the giant's energy lamps and the gem on its head. They are pure white and, at first glance, seem to be surrounded by a seven-colored halo. But upon closer inspection, they appear to be just simple white energy lamps.

"Pleiades?"

Wakura Eisuke paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked a question. He then saw the giant nod at him. Overjoyed, Wakura Eisuke tried not to cry, but as he held back, a snot bubble involuntarily appeared. He quickly popped it, then pressed the fire button with a smile, unleashing all his remaining firepower on the dark giant so he could go back to replenish his ammunition and then come back to support Genji.

At that moment, something astonishing happened to Kura Eisuke. Just before the fighter jet fired, Gen Subaru raised his hand and sent a pure white light band flying towards the fighter jet and enveloping it. Subsequently, the missiles and bullets fired by the fighter jet were all covered with a faint white light, and with this salvo, the dark giant was blasted away.

???

Is this really something that shot out of my car?

Upon seeing this, Kazuya Eisuke was immediately speechless with astonishment. At the same time, the dark giant, struck by the attack, let out a ferocious roar, and crimson energy lightning instantly charged towards the fighter jet.

In response, Subaru raised his hand and gently tapped the fighter jet. Two spiraling white light bands appeared out of thin air, intertwining to form a shield. As it slowly rotated, the crimson energy lightning was completely intercepted and converted. Then, the white shield turned into a deep purple, and energy lightning of the same color was emitted from the shield, striking the dark giant with the same power.

"Captain, quickly find some high-damage weapons; I can't hold out much longer."

At that moment, Subaru's voice rang in Eisuke Wakura's mind. Watching the figure rushing towards the dark giant, Eisuke Wakura flew away from the airspace without hesitation. After getting rid of the electromagnetic interference of the dark energy and restoring communication, he immediately contacted TLT-J and conveyed Subaru's request.

"Prepare to launch 'Ark'!"

Without hesitation, Matsunaga Yoichiro issued the order, his eyes fixed on the monitor screen, and said in a low voice:

"The 'Ark' must arrive at the battlefield within three minutes!"

Just as TLT-J was taking action on Matsunaga Yoichiro's orders, Minamoto Subaru had already engaged the Dark Giant in battle. He dodged the Dark Giant's attack by sidestepping it, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and streaks of pure white light surged out from all around, binding the enemy's limbs.

Furthermore, the pure white light began to convert everything it touched into the same energy as itself. However, as the dark giant struggled, the band of light was quickly and easily broken free, and the assimilated energy was also canceled out by the surging dark energy.

But after the Dark Giant unleashed its claw attack energy, Subaru raised one arm to defend and caught it. After converting the energy, the broken ring outside the energy lamp changed from silver-gray to crimson, and this spread to the stripes all over his body. However, after Subaru unleashed a similar fiery claw attack energy, the crimson stripes turned back to silver-gray.

No, this form doesn't have any active attack skills?

Gen Subaru looked at his hands with a blank expression. He could feel that this was light born from himself, light that belonged exclusively to him. However, this light was quite unique. He couldn't use skills like [Clone] or [Ultra Bomb] at all. It was like using a real key to open a treasure chest in a game, or it was as if this light itself disliked killing.

No, this light is mine, right? It should also be in line with my personality, right? Do I really love peace and have such a calm mind?

Oh...right, I think I was vaguely like that before, ugh...how did I become such a brute?

No, I've turned into a reckless brute now, so why isn't my aura changing along with it? At this critical juncture, I need to be reckless too!

Just as Gen Subaru was complaining, the dark giant roared and gathered dark energy, crimson lightning energy from its entire body, converging in front of its mouthparts, and fired a red beam of light that was enough to tear space apart at Gen Subaru. Gen Subaru drew circles in front of him with his hands, and the pure white light band turned into a vortex, steadily catching the entire beam of light.

Then, Yuan Mao clenched one fist and placed it at his waist, while raising the other hand overhead in a palm shape. The converted energy transformed into a seven-colored light, condensing in his palm and finally turning into a white energy spear, which he threw at the dark giant. The dark giant roared and used both hands to block the spear, but the equally astonishing power pushed him backward involuntarily, his feet plowing two deep and long furrows in the ground.

Well, now that I've calmed down, I find this light quite useful, and if used well, it can even be used to kill enemies.

However, it still couldn't compare to Nexus's speed. The five [Clone Cluster Ultra Bombs] that came out at the start were so much more satisfying. Incompetent enemies were instantly wiped out, and even the capable ones suffered half their losses.

Just as Gen Subaru was pondering how to replicate the [Ultra Bomb] into this form, the dark giant finally managed to neutralize the light spear and regain his ability to move freely.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from outside the arena. It was a huge flying shuttle. It was clear that it was being rushed to completion, as some parts of the outer shell had not yet been hammered on. But since it had been sent here, it meant that it had strategic value in the decisive battle. Thinking of this, Yuan Mao casually pointed, and the surging white light band transformed into a barrier, blocking the movement of the dark giant. He himself immediately went to meet the flying shuttle.

At the same time, after detecting the appearance of Gen Subaru, the flying shuttle immediately began to transform. Although it was clear that, according to the original design, this should be an auxiliary mecha module, the overall system was not yet perfected due to the tight schedule. However, the most important thing was that the module's decisive firepower system had been set up. It seemed that Matsunaga Yoichiro was thinking that if an accident happened one day, at least this thing could be forcibly dragged to the battlefield to fire a shot.

Gen Subaru happily raised his arms, and as the transformed flying shuttle attached itself to his body, the mechanical arm gently nestled under his armpits, causing Gen Subaru to chuckle softly, feeling a ticklish itch.

When designing this flying shuttle, consideration was given to the possibility that Nexus might undergo a significant change in appearance, similar to Nexus. Therefore, compatibility was fully taken into account, and the 'Ark' was quickly assembled. At this stage, it only equipped Gen Subaru with a chest armor and a pair of upward-facing mechanical wings connected to the back of the chest armor.

However, those mechanical wings were not used to assist Subaru in flying. They fell forward and rested on the giant's shoulders, becoming two powerful sources of firepower.

Great, let's go for it!

Gen Subaru smiled and unleashed a pure white light band that wrapped around the dark giant's arm. He then grabbed the other end and gave it a powerful shake. The wave-like vibration was transmitted to the dark giant, and the force of Nexus's full-force uppercut instantly sent the dark giant flying into the sky.

Then, the cannon on the giant's shoulder began to charge, and Subaru also added pure white light energy to it. With a sharp roar, the pure white ultimate light burst out, and the dark giant's defense was as fragile as paper in front of it, easily passing through its body.

A surge of dark energy burst forth from the gap, but in the next second it transformed into a pure white rain of light. In an instant, within the area enveloped by the light rain, green grass grew and branches sprouted. The injured felt a warm current slowly flowing out of their bodies, allowing their wounds to heal quietly and painlessly. In the blink of an eye, the scorched earth, which had been reduced to ruins by the battle, transformed into a vibrant scene.

However, this restorative light rain still has its limits. Just as the dead cannot be resurrected, Nexus's injuries, which were finally separated from the Dark Giant, also cannot be healed. There was no way around it; the injuries were too severe.

Gen Subaru watched as Nexus reverted to its original form, lying on the ground. His own body was riddled with holes, and even through the cross-sections of the wounds, the boy could sense that some of the organs had been destroyed by the dark giant's erosion. If it weren't for the presence of Nexus's light, this body would have already perished.

Well... that's fine. After much persuasion, I've made a good start for the next suitable candidate.

Yuan Mao sat wearily on the ground, looking at his physical body. He chuckled and fiddled with it for a moment, then looked up at the starry sky. Perhaps because he had awakened too late, or perhaps because of the two energies within him, his unique light was truly scarce. Although he could still hold on for a while longer, his life, in any sense, had entered its countdown...

Oh, I misspoke, that one is gone first.

Gen Subaru glanced at his own body, which had clearly ceased all life activities. He didn't care, thinking about what he could leave behind for TLT-J so that his death wouldn't have been in vain.

But just as Subaru's physical life came to an end, in the distant starry sky, Ultraman King, who was searching for something, stopped in his tracks. Leo and Astra looked at the King in surprise, wondering what he had noticed this time that made him show such a sentimental expression.

"I... witnessed the fall of a warrior, a warrior worthy of respect, but it is such a pity that he fell so young."

The King of Ultra sighed, then waved his hand, activating the backup plan he had left in the deep blue space, from which a ball of energy flew out.

"In that case, be reborn in my power, and may the Star of Ultra shine forever in your future."

And Noah, what's wrong with you? Such an outstanding candidate, aren't you going to show up and save him? Your standards are a bit too high.

As the King of Ultra spoke, he mentally complained about a certain Ultra Warrior who was always elusive and rarely seen, then looked at Leo and Astra and said:

"Let's go, we still have important business to attend to."

This light is...

Just as the King of Ultra withdrew his gaze and continued his work, Subaru Minamoto in his giant form sensed something and suddenly reached out, pulling a ball of glittering golden light from his body. He was astonished by the power within it. Although the energy of this light wasn't abundant, its quality was terrifying. Who left this here? Could it be...?

Is it the legendary Ultraman Noah?

Yuan Mao blinked in surprise, raised his head, and sensed his surroundings. After receiving no response, the boy sincerely thanked the great god in his heart. Then, he happily raised the ball of light high with both hands. The pure white light immediately poured into it and transformed into the same golden light. Then, it flew out in all directions and attached itself to every human who died in this battle.

"Father, father, father!"

"Huh? Song? I... I'm not dead?"

The priest, Kobayashi, lying on the rubble, rubbed his aching head. Holding Kobayashi Matsu, who had thrown himself into his arms and was crying, he couldn't understand. According to ancestral teachings, having inherited the bloodline of an ancient priest, he should have died from exhaustion after opening that long box. How could this be...? Ah... this is...

Priest Kobayashi stared wide-eyed at the golden light streaking across the sky like a meteor shower. Then, Priest Kobayashi felt as if he were being observed by something. Immediately, a golden meteor changed direction and crashed down. Then, Priest Kobayashi saw Pigmon, who had been cut in half by the boulder, reborn in the golden light.

"It's Subaru-san..."

Priest Kobayashi realized something, opened his mouth, but in the end only sighed softly, hugged his child tightly, and was immersed in the joy of reunion.

And so, a golden meteor brought back a vibrant life. As the last victim was resurrected, the enormous figure with its hands raised silently transformed into particles of light, dissipating into the heavens and earth. Watching the white particles of light drift away in the wind, the reborn Mitsuhiko Ishibori reached out in grief, wanting to catch them, at least to leave some trace of Subaru's existence.

But just as Ishibori Mitsuhiko's hand touched the light particles, he suddenly felt a strange stinging pain. He abruptly pulled his hand back and looked up in surprise, only to see that a semi-transparent cover had appeared on the surface of the light particles at some point. And at that moment, all the dissipated light particles froze in place.

At the same time, in the deep blue space, the Noah projection floating above slowly opened its hands, then clenched them tightly, and time and space were completely under its control!

Then, Ishibori Mitsuhiko and the others saw the light particles suddenly disappear. Shortly after, light footsteps came from the forest. A laughing boy stood on a rock, waving his TLT-J Night Raid uniform jacket at them and calling out loudly. Then, with a "Hey!" he jumped down from the rock and hugged the group that came to greet him.

"Subaru, how could you...you're not...?"

Mitsuhiko Ishibori rubbed the boy's face with a little force. He was terrified, terrified that this was his own hallucination or a trap set by Dark Zagi. Shiori Hiraki was also nervously circling around Subaru while pinching herself hard, afraid that this was just a dream.

"It's Ultraman Noah."

Gen Subaru chuckled and said:

"He helped me, and he helped everyone else. This is... truly wonderful!"

"Yes, that's wonderful, thank you, Lord Noah."

Shiori Hiraki, sobbing uncontrollably, clasped her hands together in gratitude to the unfamiliar Ultra Warrior. She then wiped away her tears and choked out:

"Since you're alright, let's go. This matter will now be handled by the Memory Police."

"To be honest, Officer Koyanagi, who is in charge of memorizing police matters, is starting to lose his hair from worry."

After the initial excitement, Mitsuhiko Ishibori quickly calmed down and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark. Shiori Hiraki also chimed in with a cheerful tone, whispering:

"Don't say that, Commander Koyanagi doesn't have much hair to begin with."

"Actually, Commander Xiaoliu has classic M-shaped hair loss. If he had sprayed some medicine earlier, he wouldn't have gone bald like that."

"To be honest... Ishibori, you seem to be a bit of a masochist too."

"Huh? Really? Shiori, don't scare me! Subaru, Subaru, please check for me, is it really there?"

"It does seem a bit like that..."

"Wow, no!!!"

Amidst Mitsuhiko Ishibori's shouts of "I refuse!", the three members of the Night Raid Team successfully rejoined the team and returned to TLT-J.

"Subaru, it's good that you're back alive."

Matsunaga Yoichiro looked at Minamoto Subaru as he returned, placed his hand on the boy's shoulder, and squeezed it slightly. Then, suppressing his own emotions, he focused on the situation before him and looked at Minamoto Subaru, saying softly:

"I'm sorry, Subaru, even though the Memory Police have dealt with Sakura Kiyomi's mental state, there's still a problem..."
