Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

The young Ultra Warrior introduced himself politely, but he completely ignored the enemy, immediately disarming himself and turning around to shake hands with Subaru. This made the boy raise an eyebrow. He quickly used his telekinesis to deflect the missile aimed at Taiga, then spread his arms to create the 'Ultimate Cross Barrier,' simply shielding himself, Taiga, and the planet behind them. He then said softly:

"Hello, I am... Ultraman Nexus who just happened to be passing by. May I ask what's going on here?"

Gen Subaru looked at the mechanical planet before him, three or four times larger than a normal planet, its surface covered with energy shield emitters and attack ports, and asked Taiga in confusion:

"Which alien created this devastating weapon?"

"They're not aliens! They're remnants of Belial's army!"

Upon hearing this topic, Taiga clenched his fist excitedly and shouted, then said in a deep voice:

"This armed death star must have been swept here by a spacetime turbulence. I'm so lucky! If I can destroy it, my father will definitely acknowledge me as a qualified Ultra Warrior!"

But you don't seem to be able to win, otherwise the creatures on the ground wouldn't be hoping for someone to help you.

Gen Subaru silently complained in his heart, but only in his heart. With Taiga's hot-blooded look, if he actually said it, this guy would probably be provoked and rush up immediately.

However, after criticizing him, there's still one question...

Who is Beria?

"what?!"

Looking at the Death Star in front of him, which was constantly unleashing its firepower, Genji asked with some curiosity. Judging from Taiga's tone, it seemed that if that Belial were to appear, he would rush up and throw a few punches right now.

Upon hearing Subaru's question, Taiga looked at him with utter shock and whispered:

"Belial, you know that traitor from the Land of Light, Belial?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not from your Land of Light, and I only recently became an Ultra Warrior..."

"I see. Well then, I'll talk to you properly after we've destroyed this Death Star!"

After saying that, Taiga stretched his body and rushed straight towards the Death Star. Subaru could only put away the 'Ultimate Cross Barrier' and detonate it one by one with Ultra Telekinesis, while also rushing over with Taiga.

Surprisingly, after he and Taiga rushed a certain distance apart, the Death Star suddenly stopped attacking, seemingly going into some kind of malfunction. Then, a massive spacetime storm arose around it, and Taiga, who had rushed too fast, was immediately swept into it. Subaru threw out a rescue beam, which wrapped around Taiga's arm and pulled him to his side. Then, he used the 'Ultimate Cross Barrier' to envelop the two of them.

"This guy actually tried to run away, how despicable!"

Taiga angrily swung his fist, while Subaru Gen, while keeping a close eye on the location of the Death Star, said softly:

"Since you're free anyway, how about you tell me the story of Beria? To be honest, I've never heard of such a person before."

Gen Subaru really wanted to know, because if one day Belial invaded his Earth, he could take the initiative and launch a preemptive strike with his intelligence advantage.

Upon hearing Subaru's words, Taiga composed himself and began a vivid and engaging narration—

Thirty thousand years ago, Emperor Empera, the Dark Universe Emperor, led his army to attack the Land of Light. In this fierce battle, Father of Ultra and Ultraman Belial joined forces to fight against the powerful Emperor Empera. In the end, with the help of others, Father of Ultra successfully defeated Emperor Empera.

Following that battle, Ultraman Belial, unable to resist the allure of power, decided to devour the energy core of the Plasma Spark Tower in order to gain even greater strength, and thus attacked the Plasma Spark Tower.

As a result, the Plasma Spark Tower's energy overwhelmed his power, causing the absorption to fail. He was subsequently expelled from the Land of Light for violating the M78 Space Security Law.

"but!"

At this point, Taiga raised his voice slightly, somewhat excited, and said:

"Unexpectedly, after his return, Belial, who had made great contributions and achieved glory in the war, actually became an evil Ultraman!"

Belial, transformed into an evil Ultraman, immediately led his monster army to attack the Land of Light. As a result, he was imprisoned in the Space Prison by the King of Ultra, and his weapon, the Ultimate Battle Fugi, was sealed in the Valley of Flames.

After being imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, Belial successfully escaped with the help of the Zarab aliens and retrieved the Ultimate Battle Device.

Furthermore, Belial's strength upon returning to the Land of Light remains terrifying. He easily defeated almost all the Ultra Warriors single-handedly, seized the core of the Plasma Spark Tower, and froze the entire Land of Light.

Belial then went to the Monster Graveyard, where he awakened a large number of monster souls, assembling a super monster army in an attempt to use them to conquer the entire universe and become the king of the galaxy.

"However, that's just Belial's wishful thinking."

Taiga said in a smug tone:

"Soon, my brother Zero shattered his conspiracy and delusions, but Belial remained unrepentant and secretly fled to another universe to continue his reign..."

In another universe, Belial, with his immense power, built a vast and evil force that invaded and conquered everywhere. His evil legion—the Belial Galactic Empire—was invincible in that universe.

Interestingly, the main force of Belial's Galactic Empire, the Darklops, was modeled after Zero. So when Belial extended his reach across dimensions to the universe where the Land of Light is located, Zero was quite surprised to see those Darklops.

After Darkrops' invasion, the Land of Light realized that the enemy came from another universe. Therefore, in order to eliminate the enemy's ambition, all members of the Land of Light passed their light to Zero, allowing him to travel through the universe and arrive at the universe where Belial was located. After making a group of new friends, with the help of the items given to him by Ultraman Noa, Zero once again successfully defeated Belial.

"Noah...."

Upon hearing that familiar name, Subaru was momentarily stunned, lost in thought. Meanwhile, Taiga, oblivious to Nexus's change beside him, continued:

"However, the battle between Zero and Belial is not over yet..."

"Can't your Zero brother finish off the enemy?"

Upon hearing yet another 'but', Subaru couldn't help but complain:

"If we had nipped the enemy in the bud during the first battle, none of these subsequent events would have happened."

"It's not that Zero didn't want to finish him off, it's just that Belial is too evil and too cunning."

Taiga muttered something under his breath and continued:

"That happened not long ago. For a while, Zero couldn't summon the [Shield of Paragi] given to him by Ultraman Noa, which caused a lot of problems. So Uncle Zoffy had Zero do some training similar to meditation for Earthlings to relieve the pressure on Zero caused by the abnormality of the [Shield of Paragi]. And it was while Zero was training that Belial appeared!"

In the last battle, although Belial's body was destroyed, his soul survived and attached itself to the Dark Armor created by Alien Emperor. He led his old subordinates to besiege Zero and used the power of the Dark Armor to forcibly take over Zero's body. Subsequently, he slaughtered Zero's friends with overwhelming power.

However, to Belial's surprise, the stimulation of this massacre also forced Zero to regain his consciousness. Encouraged by the cries of his friends' souls, Zero, realizing that what he should protect was still there, unleashed his potential, reclaimed his body, and from this, a new power was born—Radiant Zero.

In this form, Zero possesses the ability to manipulate time by controlling celestial bodies and harbors mysterious powers unknown even to Zero himself. With the 'Power of Radiance', Zero destroys Belial and also reverses time, reviving his deceased friends.

"but....."

"No buts!"

Subaru followed up like a straight man, but this time Taiga said firmly:

"This time, Belial's soul and body have both been destroyed by Zero, so... hehe, Belial's threat has been eliminated forever!"

"Zero? What an amazing Ultra Warrior."

Upon hearing this, Gen Subaru murmured softly. He had heard this name from other Ultra Warriors, but he had never had the chance to meet them. He wondered if they had any good skills that he could secretly learn.

Ok? !

"Taiga, be careful, the time-space teleportation is about to end."

At this moment, Subaru, who was quite sensitive to spacetime forces, noticed the changes around him and quickly reminded Taiga. The little horned bull Ultraman immediately became serious. Subaru was curious about this and, taking advantage of the remaining opening, whispered:

Why are you so obsessed with this victory?

"Because... I want to prove that I am who I am, and that even without my father's protection, I will still be an outstanding Ultra Warrior!"

Taiga answered without hesitation. Although he carried the glorious identity of a great Ultra Warrior and the son of Ultraman Taro, this identity also became a source of trouble for Taiga.

The father's great and glorious figure cast a huge shadow that completely obscured Taiga's efforts. No matter where he was, he would receive preferential treatment for no reason. No matter what outstanding achievements he made at school or in the dojo, they would be taken for granted, and his hard work would be ignored.

Being treated only as "Taro's son" rather than as "Taiga," a unique identity, caused young Taiga immense distress.

So, after accidentally encountering this Death Star, Taiga wanted to defeat it to make everyone realize that he was no longer the child hiding behind his father, but an Ultra Warrior who could stand on his own!

"Nexus, you should understand my feelings, right?"

After briefly explaining the whole story, Taiga pressed Subaru for answers in a somewhat urgent tone. The boy could understand his feelings; it was like a child knowing he might not have done it, but still trying to find a reason to convince himself to continue.

After thinking for a moment, Gen Subaru smiled and nodded, saying:

"Although I don't have a father and haven't had the chance to experience your troubles, I can understand your desire to break through! Keep going, I support you!"

"Hmm! Hmm? Hmm...!"

Upon hearing Subaru's answer, Taiga initially nodded in agreement with delight. However, upon closer reflection, he suddenly realized something was amiss. But if he were to hum in agreement, it would be too impolite. So Taiga quickly suppressed his nasal tone and nodded in a perfunctory manner.

"Ready, we're about to go!"

Gen Subaru could see through Taiga's little scheme. He thought that he had probably achieved his goal of making Taiga realize something so that he would have a proper talk with his father. So he changed the subject. Sure enough, Taiga immediately assumed a fighting stance, ready to attack at any moment.

Soon, the spacetime transfer of the Death Star ended, and the moment the surrounding space stabilized, the two Ultra Warriors rushed out and dashed toward the Death Star like lightning.

Nexus flashed, and two clones materialized. They flew and embraced each other, flames erupting from their bodies as they spun rapidly, hurtling towards the Death Star's energy barrier like armor-piercing projectiles and blasting it through.

That's right, this move is [Clone Penetrating Bomb]!

"Ultra Bomb?! Nexus, how do you know that move?!"

At this moment, Taiga, who was standing next to him, was stunned and whispered:

"Do you also have an Ultra Heart?"

"Me? No, it's just... wait, Ultra Heart?"

Subaru answered subconsciously, but at that moment, a flash of inspiration struck him. Ignoring the current battle situation, he casually threw out two clones to help protect his main body, and then began to think seriously.

As is well known, the Ultra Bomb is used to ignite one's entire body in flames, rush towards the enemy, hug them, and create a massive explosion, resulting in mutual destruction.

However, because Taro possesses the Ultra Heart, his shattered body can be reassembled, achieving a rebirth.

And could this be understood as the 'decomposition' and 'recombination' in [Saga Hyper Acceleration]?

Furthermore, during the battle against Hyper Zetton, I experienced a strange rebirth phenomenon. If my analysis is correct, it should be because after the self-destruction, the Meta Domain was also destroyed. However, due to the existence of the 'Ultimate Cross Barrier' outside the Meta Domain, the remnants of the Meta Domain could not dissipate.

At the same time, because a siphon-like phenomenon appeared at the center of the self-destruction, the energy was gathered together again. In a sense, the Meta Domain can also be regarded as Nexus's own flesh and blood. Therefore, it created the effect of 'pseudo-Ultra Heart' and achieved rebirth.

Furthermore, since the clone that Tiga taught him is based on empathy and the 'pseudo-Ultra Heart' hypothesis, he can experience it firsthand or observe it from the outside while experiencing it. Perhaps he can really master the basics of releasing the [Saga Super Acceleration] skill in this way.
