Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 687 Dark Lipia 2

"Whoosh!"

High-altitude battlefield.

Xia Chuan and the dark giant opposite him simultaneously unleashed hundreds of meters of eight-point light wheels with one hand, traversing through the thundercloud storm and constantly colliding and slashing.

On the surface, no one can do anything to anyone else, but the dark forces around them are constantly eroding time and space.

The situation is tilting in favor of the Dark Giant every moment.

"It's useless, Lipia," the red-eyed replica of Dark Lipia stood floating in the air, raising its eight-part halo. "How long can you stop me? Soon I will be one with this world. What will you use to fight me then?"

"Click click click!"

Some fragments of the light wheel in Xia Chuan's hand fell off, and as it was struck by bolts of lightning, it once again met Dark Lipia. The Dark Light Wheel also shattered into fragments.

It must be said that this guy doesn't look much different from his usual self on the surface.

They have almost identical skills, and even their fighting styles are extremely similar.

You can even vaguely sense the domain reaction from the other party.

This is the first time I've encountered this situation.

Did the red-eyed character in the final battle of Gaia foresee this moment?

"Clang!"

Behind Xia Chuan, the mirror images of Tiga and Lannaika appeared simultaneously. The giant's body turned blue-purple, and the eight-part halo on his hand expanded further.

The hundreds-of-meters-long halo of light illuminated the black fog storm like the sun.

"Um?"

The dark giant let out a cold snort.

It's a strange ability that he can't replicate, but it's just an enhancement; he also has enhancements.

Dark enhancement is far more direct.

"scare!"

"call--!"

The eight dark light wheels simultaneously expanded to hundreds of meters, wrapped in red and black lightning, and split into countless individuals like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, colliding at high speed with the countless light wheels flung out by Xia Chuan.

At the same time, the two giants raised their height once again, leaving behind a series of shimmering afterimages in the storm.

"Bang bang bang!"

Xia Chuan felt as if he had returned to the time when he was fighting against Dark Nexus.

However, the pressure of fighting with a level 8 character now is far greater than it was back then.

His greatest enemy turned out to be himself; his attacks were completely anticipated by his opponents, and any changes he made could be replicated.

Furthermore, due to the influence of dark forces, the clone's level was also enhanced to over 8.

It seems likely that it will gradually be upgraded to S level over time.

I can replicate his abilities, and my level is high enough to completely suppress him...

The tide must be turned before that happens.

"Won't the card's power be replicated?"

Once again, the teleportation attack failed, and Xia Chuan's thoughts raced.

It has been confirmed that the Dark Giant merely replicates his original abilities.

It's not really a dead end.

There's also Dark Lucifer... but he really doesn't want to go that far.

Fighting darkness with darkness, even if you win, cannot protect the world.

"Whoosh!"

"Your power is very useful, Lipia!"

Two bright lines collided and exploded in the storm, and Xia Chuan and the dark giant were simultaneously thrown backward and hovered.

Compared to him, who was eager to find a weakness, the Dark Giant seemed to be sitting calmly, waiting for his power to continue to increase.

As the dark forces materialize the red sphere, they are also accelerating their devouring of the red sphere and the world of "Time Travel".

Xia Chuan could clearly feel the strain of the battle.

Even with the power of the Mirror Card, it can't keep up with the speed of Dark Enhancement.

"Lipia! Go for it!"

A childish shout suddenly reached Xia Chuan's ears.

High-rise buildings on the ground.

Xinxing Mian climbed onto the rooftop amidst the howling wind.

Gazing at the still blurry giant figure, he composed himself, then cupped the blackish-red ball that was slowly descending from the void in his hands, trembling as he raised it above his head.

"Is this okay?"

Looking down at Nanase Risa, who was praying with her arms crossed, Shinseki Tsutomu's legs trembled even more violently.

"Risa..."

"Make a wish quickly, Tsutomu!" Risa Nanase gripped her fingers tightly. "It's too late! Be brave!"

"There's no other way, this is the only option."

Shinsei Mian looked once more at the increasingly terrifying eye of the storm in the sky.

The luminous figure of Lipia began to become barely visible.

Further away, a group of American fighter jets, whose origins were unknown, were destroyed by a thunderstorm before they even got close to the battlefield. The missile-like objects turned into a series of bright flashes on the sea surface.

Ultraman's battles in real life are even more terrifying than those on TV.

"Libia, and this world..."

Xin Xing swallowed hard, gripped the red ball tightly, and suddenly lowered his head and shouted.

"Ball, disappear—!"

"You're pinning your hopes on a little brat?"

The dark giant waved his hand to block a blue arrow of light that Xia Chuan had fired at high speed from his bow, forcefully breaking through the impact energy, and then looked down coldly at the ground, unmoved as if watching a show.

One second, two seconds, and several seconds passed, but the dark giant remained unaffected and hovered high in the air.

The darkness that enveloped the sky did not lessen; instead, it accelerated its encroachment, suppressing the light even more intensely.

"How could that be?"

Xinxing called out but received no result. He opened his eyes blankly and looked at the unresponsive red ball in his hand with confusion.

"Why didn't it disappear?"

"Of course!"

A massive, red-eyed phantom appeared behind Dark Lipia, seemingly merging with the storm like the will of the earth.

"Thanks to the divine power of Lypia, I have seized the power of the Red Ball. What you have now is nothing but junk that I have discarded."

"Scrap metal?"

Shinseiki Tsutomu, bewildered, glanced at the sky with red eyes, then looked down at Nanase Risa, whose expression was gloomy.

The girl pursed her lips without responding, seemingly acknowledging Red Eyes' statement. She glowed transparently along with the red ball, and the color of her red sundress began to fade gradually: "As expected, nothing can be changed. I'm sorry, Xiao Mian..."

"Lypia, you were extraordinary. No wonder you were able to save the Gaia universe. But now it's all over!"

Cosmic light and shadow appeared in his red eyes, surrounding Dark Lipia, looking down on Xia Chuan like a god.

"I have everything you have, and I'm countless times stronger than you!"

"Are they all really included?"

Natsukawa's arm is fully drawn with Aanna's bow and arrows.

The giant glanced at the ground, his eyes still calm, yet a fierce rage seemed to burn within them.

Divinity gradually transformed into humanity, and the ability to control one's emotions ceased, causing the previously stable power to fluctuate violently.

"Turning to darkness?" The aura of Dark Lypia surged once more. "Getting close to humans was your biggest mistake, Lypia!"

For him, who was the embodiment of the dark will, Xia Chuan's sudden surge of anger was undoubtedly a death wish.

They will only step into darkness and become his puppet.

"roar!"

A deafening roar of a high-altitude storm echoed far and wide.

Xin Xingmian looked up in a daze, only to see a beam of red and black light enveloping him and the entire building.

"Lypia!"

The scorching flames seemed poised to consume everything, but at the last moment, a luminous giant suddenly teleported to the front of the building, and a thousand-meter-wide light barrier blocked the impact of darkness.

"Bang bang bang!"

Amidst the series of explosions that swept across the city, the areas protected by the barrier seemed to be frozen in time.

Risa Nanase stared at the giant in astonishment.

Unlike before, the light now shines more gently, and is also more difficult to understand.

It is no longer simply a force.

Even her body solidified again under the light.

The red sphere, corrupted by darkness, gradually began to glow, transforming back into its original red glass form.

"Lypia?"

"Whoosh!"

The rage that burned the body of the Xiachuan Giant did not turn into darkness, but instead transformed into an even more powerful light of the soul.

However, this level is not enough.

Xia Chuan turned around, his giant figure close to the building, just in time for the ball of light that Xin Xingmian had transformed into to merge into the energy lamp on his chest.
