Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 745 Light, Darkness, and Chaos

"Bang!"

Tregear's Dark Corrosion Storm, which was aimed at the group on the ground, was blocked by Natsukawa, who inexplicably felt a sense of hatred towards his former friend, Ultraman Taro.

"Is it that 'Messenger of Light' tactic again? Protecting humans who have absolutely no connection to you, it's so touching! So touching it makes me want to vomit!"

By this time, the Minato family had already left, leaving only Grigio, who was determined to die, and no matter what they did, they couldn't move her; she remained where she was, awaiting her death.

Seeing this, Toregia laughed triumphantly: "See? Not everyone needs your protection. Your good and my evil are actually no different! Who said that light is justice? Who said you are the guardians of the universe?"

"You lot will never understand the meaning of darkness. This world is only complete with darkness; darkness is Grigio's destiny!"

"elder brother--!"

Grigio was jolted awake. Influenced by the dark aura, her face showed a series of emotions: attachment, fear, and despair. Finally, she screamed, clutched her head, and cried, curling up like a child.

"That's right, your brothers are long dead, vanished into thin air at the particle level, all because of your incompetence, Grigio! You killed your own brothers!" Tregear continued to incite.

"Clang!"

Unaffected by Tregear's mental interference, Xia Chuan glanced at Grigio, whose dark presence was faintly visible in his eyes, and stood firmly in front, blocking all the dark fluctuations emitted by Tregear.

Half the block was filled with a sobbing, red and black aura, angry yet unable to break through Xia Chuan's wall-like defenses, not even able to change direction.

The entire space was sealed off by Xia Chuan.

Completely unrelated?

Although he wasn't Grigio's brother, he couldn't just watch this woman be swallowed by darkness.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan grasped at the hand and completely annihilated all the dark fluctuations.

Perhaps due to the Dark Dungeon, there are some subtle differences between him and the Tregear in the data, but his neurotic thinking remains unchanged.

"The meaning of darkness? Do you really understand darkness?"

The giant's eyes held a hint of weariness, his mind filled with the boundless darkness of the universe.

After shattering the second Dark Bomb with a wave of his hand, the giant walked straight toward Tregear, who had been pulled back to the ground.

"You don't even understand what light is."

"Shut up! I possess the power of chaos that transcends both light and darkness!"

Torregia, annoyed, stopped his attack. He laughed in fury, and dark purple energy emanated from his palm, intertwined with blue lightning, as he unleashed another dark bomb.

"You've given me a new idea. But turning Grigio to the dark side doesn't seem very interesting. If it were Ultraman... hehe, then I'll let you experience darkness for yourself!"

"Bang--!"

Another explosion and dust dissipated, but Xia Chuan remained still and punched through the explosive bomb. The remaining purplish-black energy collided with Xia Chuan's body and swept away like a breeze.

"What?"

Torregia re-evaluates Natsukawa.

The Dark Bomb is just the surface; what it actually unleashes is "Great Power," capable of igniting the darkness within humans or Ultraman and maximizing its power.

However, it had no effect on Xia Chuan.

It can only be said that Natsukawa is one of those simple-minded messengers of light from the Land of Light, so simple that it's disgusting.

"The world is not black and white; chaos is the truth!"

"scare!"

Abandoning all other thoughts, Torregia immediately engaged in battle, intending to deal with Natsukawa first before continuing his game of light and darkness.

"You're in my way, Lipia!"

"Sizzle!"

"Tregearrut Caesar Shockwave!"

Ultimate move!

Torregia spread his hands, and blue-black energy swirled together, chaotic lightning tore through space with extreme heat, and finally roared as he unleashed a composite shock beam at Xia Chuan.

Seemingly anticipating that Natsukawa wouldn't avoid it, Torregia preemptively let out a malicious grin: "Let me see the foolishness of the Messenger of Light!"

"pause!"

Xia Chuan did not dodge, but activated his time-stopping ability amidst a slight fluctuation in spacetime.

This chaotic power doesn't truly belong to Toregia, but its intensity is indeed high.

Top-tier SS+.

"call!"

Tregear froze, even his lightning attack froze in mid-air, leaving only his thoughts still running slowly.

"What's going on? Has time stopped?"

"Whoosh—!"

The chaotic power from Grimdor was not stopped for long; it returned to normal in the blink of an eye, but that was enough for Xia Chuan to deal with. A black hole-like energy shield absorbed and digested the light technique, and after the time stop was removed, only a few bolts of lightning scattered around.

"My ultimate move!"

Torregia's voice trembled slightly.

The finishing beam that could have severely damaged Ultraman Groob in the future was easily neutralized.

This was his strongest attack, launched at the risk of being devoured by the demon god.

"So that's how you defeated Gilbaris!"

Taking advantage of Natsukawa's momentary lapse in time, Tregear abandoned his beam attack and closed in on him.

"I'm not Gilbaris!"

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan effortlessly dodged Tregear's close-range attack, unleashing a shockwave from his palm that sent Tregear flying as if he were toying with a child.

Although Tregear was many times older than him and came from the Land of Light, he actually wanted to fight this guy in close combat.

Grimdor's power level is too high, almost reaching SSS, so he has to use time stop to connect attacks.

It's much more comfortable to switch to melee combat.

Despite the presence of Grimdor's power, the pressure became negligible.

Because Tregear wasn't originally a warrior and couldn't join the Space Garrison, he could only work at the Science Bureau developing equipment.

Even after obtaining the power of chaos, he still didn't make much progress; at least in front of him, he appeared clumsy and incompetent.

"You rely on Grimm far too much," Xia Chuan said, his eyes gleaming as he searched for a weakness. "External forces are just external forces; they can't change the fact that you're weak..."

"shut up!"

Unable to even catch a glimpse of Natsukawa, Tregear couldn't help but recall the time when he was rejected by the Space Garrison.

They actually said he was weak.

Whether it was to join the Space Garrison or after sealing Grimdor, he never gave up training.

Especially after anticipating his defeat by Grob.

He doesn't do this because he's weak; he uses others to engage in dark battles, create conflict and chaos.

Quite the opposite.

"It's because I'm too powerful!"

"scare!"

The giant's eyes shone even brighter, and he refrained from further provoking Tregear, lest the creature suddenly go berserk and unleash Grimdor.

After this series of tests, defeating Toregia is actually not difficult.

The difficulty lies in dealing with Grimdor.

Ideally, we should be able to kill Tregear in one blow.

"pause!"

Time stop was triggered again, and Tregear missed his punch and found himself and the entire world frozen in time, with only Natsukawa still able to move.

What happened?

Can time be stopped indefinitely?

That doesn't make sense!

"Who exactly are you?"

Torregia had asked this question once before, but this time his mindset was completely different. His consciousness was in a fierce struggle, conveying his unwillingness to Xia Chuan.

"call!"

Xia Chuan walked behind Torregia, without responding to his thoughts.

This time-stop ability should be classified as SSS-level. It takes a huge toll on him when he fights in his gigantic state, especially when dealing with Tregear, who possesses chaotic power.

Being able to use it twice in a row is enough for Torregia to be proud of.

"Bang--!"

At the exact moment the time stop ended, Tregear's body suddenly spread wide, and a ring of burning seal patterns pierced through, instantly exploding and engulfing his giant body.

but……

Xia Chuan paused slightly after executing his fatal move.

He killed Torregia, yet it seems he didn't.

Grimdor's aura vanished instantly, and the card that should have been generated did not.

Unable to kill completely?

Xia Chuan looked up at the sky.

It seems like Toregia might be resurrected.

The dungeon has been successfully cleared, and it's clear that the new generation of dungeons has become more tangible.

However, the Land of Light's Ultras still failed to materialize.

Is it necessary to kill Grimdor outright?

Xia Chuan deactivated his transformation, frowned, and returned to the ground.

It seems that without dealing with Grimdor, it is impossible to completely eliminate Tregear, but directly killing Grimdor requires SSS-level combat power.

He came to Earth in "Robo & Robo" to kill Tregear precisely because he lacked SSS-level combat power...

"Whoosh!"

Grigio, who was unconscious in the ruins, opened her eyes with blurred vision and only vaguely saw Natsukawa approaching before being picked up by warm and strong arms.

The lingering darkness was completely swept away.

"I'm sorry, I'm not your brother, but I witnessed your brother's battle with the gaseous Lugsette. In the end, they both hoped that you could live."

Xia Chuan carried Grigio out of the ruins and greeted Minato Yukai and his group who had anxiously come from the outside.

Sunlight pierced through the dust and smoke, falling as if carrying boundless vitality and hope.

Torregia didn't understand him.

Does protecting humanity need a reason?

It's all worth it for this one moment.

It has nothing to do with whether he is light or darkness.
