Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 139 Torregia: That was close, otherwise I would have suffered a crushing defeat.

Torregia stood with his hands behind his back, watching with great interest, waiting for the two to determine a winner.

Around him, the people of the underworld gathered to protect their Queen Kisara.

The guardian beast Shepardon lay to the side, covered in wounds and barely breathing; it had been severely beaten by Toregia.

If it weren't for wanting to see what changes it would bring, Torregia would have killed it with a Torregia Ruth Caesar shockwave long ago!

In the arena he had set up, Yang Ai was holding a small knife and viciously stabbing it towards Xiang's vitals.

"Yang Ai! Don't do this!"

Xiang kept dodging, and his arms, hands, legs... there wasn't a single part of his body that wasn't scratched.

He had no weapon in his hand, only a shield. Whenever Yang Ai swung her knife, he tried his best to block with the shield, but he controlled himself not to fight back or hurt Yang Ai with the shield.

On the contrary, Yang Ai, even though Xiang had gone to such lengths, still wished she could plunge a dagger into Xiang's heart!

The hatred in her heart, and everything she and her people had gone through, could not be made up for by simple concessions!

This will require blood, and even more to pay for!

"Die!"

Yang Ai swung the dagger with all her might, venting her hatred.

Outside the arena, Queen Kisara watched all this with tears silently streaming down her face.

"It's all our fault..."

Queen Kisara wept as the dying sacred beast Shepardon brought back all the pain in Yangxin's heart and those past scenes to her mind.

Queen Kisara was filled with remorse and anguish upon seeing those past illusions and witnessing the suffering of those forgotten people.

Our ancestors made mistakes that led to internal strife and war, causing some people to be completely forgotten, wandering outside of time, and suffering all kinds of pain.

Now, it is only natural that the other party has come back to demand justice. This is inevitable and something that the underground people cannot escape!

Yang Ai, I'm sorry.

Queen Qisara sincerely apologized to Yang Ai within the field, expressing her heartfelt remorse and vowing to make amends.

As her heart changed, Sheparton, who had been lying on the ground, roared and struggled to lift his head.

Light surged from its body, and that light rose up, carrying with it the light emanating from Queen Qisara, flying towards Yang Ai and Xiang's direction.

"Um?"

Torregia, of course, noticed these changes, and curiously reached out to try and block the light.

But the beam of light actually passed through him and even reached the protective shield he had set up, directly entering the field!

"Interesting." Toregia was somewhat surprised, but more curious, curious about what changes this light would bring.

He just watched until the light fell and merged into Yang Ai and Xiang's bodies.

This light, imbued with the sincere apology of Queen Kissara and Shepardon, fell upon him; it was a dialogue between hearts.

Upon sensing this, Yang Ai's hand went limp, and the dagger in her hand actually fell to the ground.

"when!"

Yang Ai covered her face with her hands and knelt down, sobbing.

Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, then knelt down to support Yang Ai's shoulders, took out the Victory Lance, and said earnestly, "We won't forget the past, and we'll find a way to make up for what we were owed!"

"You've seen the Queen and the sacred beast's determination. Join me and let's defeat this enemy first!"

Yang Ai looked up at Xiang and saw the determined smile on his face.

She tried to reach out, somewhat hesitantly, but Xiang grabbed her hand and raised the Holy Lance of Victory.

"Victory—"

As Sho shouted, a light called "Victory" burst forth, its intense light carrying emotions such as courage, friendship, relief, and understanding, completely destroying the field set up by Torregia!

"Victory Super Punch!"

Inside Ultraman Victory's mental space, Sho, along with Yang Ai, forcefully punched Tregear.

"Thump!"

"Oh……"

Because it happened so suddenly, Torregia was hit squarely by the punch, and the force of the blow sent him flying, crashing heavily into the wall behind him.

"See? This is the bond between us!"

Xiang said very seriously, "Tregear, what you're proclaiming will absolutely not come true."

"All hatred can be resolved! As long as we clear up the misunderstandings, all wars and conflicts will disappear!"

"ridiculous……"

Torregia stood up and sneered, "Your account of this from the perspective of the victors certainly sounds righteous... it sounds like a beautiful fairy tale, but is it really true?"

"Yang Ai and her entire clan are sinners! They instigated a rebellion and started a war just to seize Victory's power!"

"Weren't they exiled after their defeat and slaughtered by Shepard? Wasn't it all their own doing?"

"It is true that you forgive sinners, but as the victors, isn't your act also hypocritical?"

"You slaughtered them, you banished them! Is what you are doing now truly righteous and just?"

"Or are you simply hiding the darkness within your hearts, concealing your sense of superiority, and hiding your inner arrogance?"

Torregia laughed, "You've been hiding it all along. Let me reveal your true thoughts to you!"

He stood up and suddenly raised his hand to summon a huge magic circle.

This magic circle completely surrounded the city of the underground people, and the people within it felt an indescribable, strange feeling.

Memories of that past rebellion resurfaced in their minds, and they witnessed the entire battle from the perspective of their ancestors!

This memory is real; it wasn't fabricated by Torregia. He extracted it from Yang Ai and her people's memories.

After witnessing this true memory, all the underground inhabitants fell silent.

Their queen told them that the rebellion did indeed happen, but there were many hidden details, and that the forgotten people were actually innocent.

With such propaganda, the people underground believed the story and welcomed the return of Yang Ai, a forgotten person.

But now that they've seen the truth, their thoughts have changed.

The underground people have a long lifespan. Many of them died in that rebellion, and they are the ancestors of modern people!

Everyone was deeply saddened to witness their fathers and brothers die in this rebellion that should never have happened.

This sadness and anxiety then transformed into their anger toward the forgotten.

Those people wouldn't have died if they hadn't chosen to seize Victory's power and start this rebellion!

These things should never have happened!
