Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

Besides, it might not even be real space; it could be a dream…

Mana's expression grew increasingly serious as she scrutinized the entire area under her gaze.

She lowered her head thoughtfully and saw that although she wasn't stepping on anything, and it was pitch black, she had the feeling of stepping onto solid ground.

Just as she was wondering, she instinctively turned her head.

A colossal object was rapidly approaching, and only when it got closer did Mana realize that it was actually a new type of UPC satellite.

This discovery convinced Mana that she had indeed arrived in outer space.

After all, the texture and composition of this satellite are incredibly clear!

It looked so real.

No, it's true, I really did come to space...

Strange, who brought you here?

After realizing her predicament, Mana tried to find a way to "wake up" in her surroundings, but to no avail. Out of caution, she did not attempt to escape this "dream space" by harming herself.

Time passed second by second, and although she wasn't sure what time it was, Mana couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

Just as she made up her mind to try something extreme.

A sudden burst of light appeared on her side.

Mana, whose attention was quickly drawn, realized the light was actually coming from behind her!

She turned around quickly, and the brighter light entered her eyes, causing her to squint involuntarily, but it didn't help much. So Mana used her hand to shield her eyes, which made her feel a little better.

With her eyes closed, Mana remained vigilant, judging by the intensity of the light shining through her eyelids. The distance between them was constantly shrinking, almost as if they were already right in front of her.

A few more seconds seemed to have passed when Mana was surprised to find that the light seemed to have faded.

The hand that was blocking his eyes slowly lowered, then slowly clenched into a fist after passing the corner of his mouth, until it was fully clenched.

Although she knew that the person standing before her must be the "culprit" who had brought her here, she was conflicted because of her trust in the light.

However, a deep-seated unease kept her on guard, as she felt that this light was of a completely different nature from Nexus.

If the light of N brings warmth and perseverance, then this light offers nothing positive; instead, it feels like a "machine."

It has no emotions, like a man-made product, only an imprinted program.

This was Mana's only impression after she first saw the blinding light.

Carefully opening her eyes, Mana saw a tall building in front of her.

The color is somewhat strange, resembling both jade and glass stained with the green of vegetation.

Its shape is somewhat strange, but it can be vaguely identified as the shape of a tall tower.

If it weren't in space, the sound of something this huge moving in front of you would be absolutely deafening.

Mana suddenly had a strange idea.

Before she could even begin to study this somewhat mysterious tower, which was certainly not an artifact of Earth, she witnessed the light descend once again.

The "glass" that makes up the tower gradually becomes clear and sparkling, like electricity being charged, and then becomes somewhat dazzling.

Just as Mana subconsciously took a few steps back, a voice that was neither masculine nor even alive rang in her ears.

Hello, Person of Light.

I am the Plasma Spark Tower, a divine artifact of light belonging to the Land of Light.

I apologize for bringing you here.

On the other side of the universe, darkness is spreading, and countless life-bearing planets are facing destruction. For this, I need your assistance.

Mana blinked.

After a brief moment of shock, they quickly regained their composure.

He asked, "How can I help you?"

I will grant you the power to become an Ultra Warrior.

I hope you can use this power to help the warriors of the Land of Light defeat the Dark Emperor Empera, and the newly born darkness, Minamoto no Kaguya.

Mana was slightly taken aback.

The emotions hidden deep in my heart were all released with the last name.

However, she suppressed this strange feeling and spoke without hesitation.

"I refuse."

"I don't want to see this happen."

"I don't want to fight my friends."

The plasma spark tower remained unresponsive for a long time.

Seemingly confirming that Mana wasn't joking, it asked.

Do you mean Yuan Huixia?

But he is the host of the Dark Spark, the second Dark One capable of growing to the point of destroying the universe.

Li Zhenna's thinking is very clear.

Faced with the guy who called himself the Plasma Spark Tower, a thing from some damn Land of Light, and something that pulled her into outer space without permission, she expressed her attitude with almost sharp words.

“Yes, Yuan Huixia…”

"He is my friend."

Do you understand?

Mana hesitated slightly, but ultimately defined their relationship.

silence…

I have a hard time understanding your thinking.

In my established program, all darkness will threaten the stability of the universe and needs to be eradicated as soon as possible.

This cannot be limited by the word "friend".

Since you've chosen to refuse to fight Minamoto no Kikaku, then, Dark Emperor Empera Alien…

"Me too, not interested."

Mana shook her head in denial.

"I am just an ordinary person who once had the good fortune to obtain the power of light. I only hope to protect my own world. As for the rest, such as the darkness that threatens the universe, it is too far beyond my reach."

"You are a divine artifact of the Land of Light, why don't you do these things?"

After expressing her feelings, Mana instead questioned her.

…silence.

Within you lies a power sufficient to annihilate all darkness.

With your help, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Chapter 194 The Chosen One of the Plasma Spark Tower (Part 2)

...

"I refuse."

Li Zhenna took a few steps back, afraid that the other party would turn hostile.

To her, the thing in front of her that called itself the "Plasma Spark Tower" was still within the category of monsters.

The other party is fundamentally different from N's Light.

Although she knew she couldn't stop the other party at all, Li Mana still made her stance clear.

The Spark Tower suddenly emitted a light, which caused Li Mana to instinctively reach out to block it. After a rapid flash, the light inexplicably went out.

I respect your decision, even though in my opinion it is not the right one.

Then, when you change your mind, I will appear before you again.

People of Light, I look forward to our next meeting.

To Mana's surprise, the Plasma Spark Tower showed no anger in the face of her repeated rejections, as if it did not possess such emotions.

Under Mana's gaze, the towering Spark Tower gradually disappeared into the darkness, shattering like countless dust particles, and vanished completely from Mana's sight in the next second.

Before she could think further, she felt everything go black, as if the world was turning upside down, and dizziness gradually filled her body.

The feeling of my body swaying involuntarily sent shivers down my spine, made me feel uneasy deep in my blood, and even gave me a slight urge to vomit.

It's like being on a rapidly spinning "rotating car".

After the "long" dizziness subsided, Mana's tightly closed eyes finally opened a crack. As her vision adjusted to the darkness, she was surprised to find herself still lying in bed, with the ceiling of her own room right in front of her.

A sliver of moonlight gently shone through the window, and the soft, cool light gradually calmed Mana down.

The experience, even more absurd than that of the N Light, left her somewhat in disbelief. However, her interactions with the Spark Tower remained vivid in her mind. She had indeed traveled to outer space and had a less-than-friendly exchange with a "guest" from the Land of Light.

Staring blankly at the silver ceiling covered by moonlight, his eyes, though still clear, were now filled with worry.

"Yuan Huixia, you bastard..."

When will you be back?

Li Zhenna blurted out those words unconsciously.

He was suddenly startled, but then relaxed when he remembered that it was nighttime and he was in his own room.

This man's name has become a UPC ban.

"Humans" who can control monsters are just as unreliable as the monsters themselves.

Although she always thought about him, Mana, who had lost her ability to transform, was helpless. His departure without saying goodbye was infuriating, but his absence for ten years also made her very worried.

Now, all we can do is hope that the other person still remembers that there are people here who miss him.

Mana closed her eyes, looking quite tired.
