Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 569 Darkness

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan did not hesitate at all and released his power immediately.

The golden light emanating from the divine realm failed to directly transform the Land of the End, but it still formed an independent golden sphere, forcibly pulling the tentacle-like alien beasts that had descended into darkness into it.

"Bang! Bang!"

In the final moment before the light vanished, Gu Men seemed to hear his own strong, rapid heartbeat and vaguely heard Nexus shouting something, but the next moment his vision was completely obscured by darkness.

The previously tried-and-tested divine domain failed to suppress the darkness.

It's not that the domain is inadequate, but rather that as a human, he cannot provide sufficient support; the red light on his chest began flashing rapidly even before the domain had fully formed.

To make matters worse, they lost contact with Lipia.

As the human host, this was the first time he had taken control of a giant's body on his own. The strange yet familiar perspective made him experience the fear of drowning once again. He was so desperate that he wanted to call for help, but he regained his composure as a warm stream of light surged from within his body.

"hold head high!"

Gray fog filled the area, and the faint, murmuring sounds of the tentacle-like alien beasts could be heard.

The darkness was undergoing a reverse erosion. Although it didn't transform instantly like it did with the Nexus Meta Realm, it still had a huge impact on him. These murmurs seemed to carry a mental attack, constantly echoing in his mind.

My first time fighting alone as a Titan, and I'm facing such a terrifying enemy...

"Lypia!"

Komon called out anxiously, but received no response. He could only force himself to stay awake and push his giant body deeper into the gray fog.

He could sense the danger and knew he couldn't just wait around.

We must deal with that alien beast before the domain becomes unsustainable.

"Does Mr. Himeya always engage in battles like this?"

Komon felt that he understood Himeya Jun's pain more deeply.

Unable to get a response from the giants, he fought repeatedly in the darkness, filled with confusion and a desire for redemption, bearing his fear alone.

"call!"

The giant's body walked among the toy-like ruins of the city's high-rise buildings, feeling utterly unsafe. His heavy breathing echoed, and the red light on his chest seemed to sound like a death knell.

Hesitantly, he passed through a section of ruins when several tentacles suddenly sprang out from the gray fog behind him, their twisted, grotesque faces silently approaching from the blind spot of the isolated gate.

"ah--!"

The spiritual world.

Just as Komon was facing the tentacle-like alien beast, Natsukawa also confronted the darkness in the form of light, relying on the power of the domain, A+ against A+.

The strongest combat forces in the current Nexus dungeon clash silently yet deadly.

"A solitary gate!"

Xia Chuan separated a portion of his consciousness and sensed that the giant's body was being entangled by the tentacles of the alien beast, and the extent of the darkness's encroachment was constantly increasing.

The red light flashed at varying speeds and intervals, as if it might go out at any moment.

"Cheer up, Komon! Believe in your own strength!"

"Lypia?"

The lone figure struggled to raise its head, and the giant's eyes regained their luster.

I still can't hear any sound, but the warm light in my heart has become much more active.

It's Lypia!

Lipia did not disappear, or rather... he is Lipia now!

"Clang!"

A golden halo lit up, and the energy core in his chest slowly recovered like water being stored up, absorbing wave after wave of light from thin air. In the end, even the dark power that surrounded him was forcibly absorbed and transformed.

"Bang--!"

The spiritual world.

After several rounds of powerful collisions, Mitsuhiko Ishibori, who had been hiding, had no choice but to separate.

Only after personally testing him did he realize that Dark Mephisto's defeat was not unjustified, and even now he wouldn't gain any advantage.

Even when playing away from home, he seemed to lack stamina.

"Ultraman Lipia?"

At the same time.

At the Night Raid Team's base, Mitsuhiko Ishibori, his gaze deep, withdrew from his thoughts.

Upon first contact, they felt like warriors from the Land of Light.

"That's all there is to it," Mitsuhiko Ishibori warned through gritted teeth, "Leave this planet immediately, or once the next phase is complete, I'll show you what true darkness is!"

This attempt failed to defeat the strange giant, but it still yielded him a considerable amount of information.

He was just an elite warrior who appeared out of nowhere, trying to seize the Light of Nexus; he was far from crossing that threshold.

It's wishful thinking on the part of a mere elite warrior to try and seize the power of light.

Once he regains his strength, he can handle it as he pleases.

Now all we need to do is pay attention to future trends and intervene at crucial moments to stop the spread.

"Whoosh!"

The spiritual world.

Ignoring Mitsuhiko Ishibori's warning, Natsukawa waited until he was sure the other party had completely left before revealing his weakened state amidst the scattered light.

We finally made it through.

He is not yet strong enough to contend with a character who stands at the top of the Ultra Universe, but fortunately the other party is in a weakened state and has some concerns, otherwise it would be easy to discover his true strength.

"Lypia?"

The call from the lonely gate came again.

With the darkness gone, Xia Chuan's consciousness returned to his body.

"fine."

The giant's eyes were full and bright. After shaking its arms to break free from the tentacles' restraints, it suddenly punched through the distorted face of the alien beast. A powerful beam of light burst forth, instantly clearing away and eliminating all the alien beast's cells.

This alien beast, stripped of its dark aura, was barely at the A-rank level, and could be easily destroyed even outside the domain.

As a human being, Komon is indeed somewhat weak now.

He probably doesn't have time to train the solitary sect.

"Beep!"

The red light flashed and rang again. Xia Chuan turned around and exited the domain space, his entire giant body merging into the light.

The Zaki level is at least S.

The progress needs to be accelerated; we absolutely cannot let it drag on until Zaki recovers, and we cannot allow the battle to reach S-level.

He doesn't know what the dungeon will be like then, but he'll definitely be in big trouble.

"Lipia, what happened just now?" Komon asked, puzzled.

"We have attracted the attention of the unknown."

The Xia Chuan Giant returned to the Land of the End, and following a series of explosions, looked up at the sky and was shocked to find that Nexus and Mephisto had already started an aerial battle.

Two massive beams of energy converged, causing an explosion that nearly melted half the sky.

"Boom!"

Intense light filled the entire End of the World, and the phase gradually shifted back to Shinjuku Central Park, making the light source visible even to the outside world.

"That is..."

Saijo Kaze, who had been intently watching the outcome, stared wide-eyed at the light. After a pause, she couldn't help but ask Mizuhara Sara, "Do you know what happened inside?"

"I'm afraid I have no right to interfere, but..."

Mizuhara Sara also looked toward the gradually expanding light source, where she could vaguely see the silhouette of the Natsukawa Giant.

Only one giant remained.

"Whoosh!"

With a phase fold, Jun Himeya emerged from the bright light, looking up at the eyes of the Natsukawa giant with a sense of relief. He felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and he was no longer in any pain.

"Thank you. Fighting is indeed not a painful thing. I finally understand Sera's thoughts and have found the meaning of my life from now on. Komon... I'll leave things to you from now on."

Xia Chuan lowered his head slightly and could clearly feel the same power of light, as if he were looking at Nexus's true will from afar, until the light receded like a tide and returned to normal.

The second phase has begun.
