Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

"Nexus's power is greater than what was shown in the TV series."

"Could it be because of the light? This Nexus might be the giant of light who sealed the demonic dragon."

"Then, this Noah's Light is clearly of much higher quality."

Huixia hid in the air above, while Galactron silently awaited orders below.

After being cleansed by dark forces twice, Huixia found that her physical condition was getting better and better.

I even have this illusion that I wouldn't feel anything even if I jumped from a height of 10,000 meters...

Dark Spark: ...You will die a horrible death, and I can then find my next host.

"hehe…"

Hui Xia withdrew his gaze. The battle between the two behemoths would take some time, and even if Nexus activated its red form and was still dominating Zetton, he wasn't optimistic about its chances, even if it was Mana.

"By the way, Xiaohua, how did the previous holder die?"

Dark Spark: ...

Dark Spark: Betrayed by his dark allies. After being wounded, he was completely killed by King Oo, the agent of the Light Spark, and Delacion, his soul being annihilated.

Hui Xia instinctively shuddered.

"Why? Is it because the Dark Spark represents darkness? I mean, the holder."

Dark Spark: because it represents the ultimate darkness, capable of devouring everything and reshaping the universe. And I am merely a tool in its hands.

"what?"

Hui Xia was slightly taken aback.

Darkness that can devour everything…

Just how terrifying would that be?

"The agent of the Spark of Light? Who do you mean?"

Hui Xia has more questions now, and he's feeling somewhat lost.

He inherited the power of the Dark Spark, and it is even darker than the one in Lugiel's hand.

Could they also become enemies of the Land of Light?

Dark Spark: The Plasma Spark Tower chose a being of light to destroy darkness. After killing the darkness, the being vanished into the light and never appeared again.

Why is darkness being targeted by so many people?

Hui Xia asked.

This is a crucial question, as it relates to how I should act in the future.

Dark Spark: My creator was too ambitious, attempting to rule all universes, which is why he became the enemy of the entire universe.

Hui Xia nodded.

I understand. If I don't want to rule the universe, then the Land of Light won't need to bother me, right?

Feeling a bad premonition, Huixia shook his head and looked at the battle below him, which was still raging but whose outcome was about to be decided.

Darkness and agents are irrelevant to me; I am just a mortal.

They simply yearn for power, for immortality, for uniqueness in the universe, and for invincibility.

Dark Spark: ! !

Darkness, utter and complete darkness!

My choice was definitely right, it was terrifying!

Chapter 23 Fighting Alongside the Giants

...

“zhidun…”

Zetton slowly fell through the air, while Nexus also fell helplessly, crashing heavily to the ground.

Due to the battle between the two sides, Zetton, who was originally in the Northern Union, was relocated to the Riben region.

Even before the handover between the two sides, Ritsumoto had taken timely measures, which unexpectedly came in handy.

Commander Gibbon, who is in remote command, will direct the ground forces in the area to launch a fierce attack on Jetton until it is destroyed.

Meanwhile, mass-produced air support fighters have also arrived.

"boom!"

The earth groaned under the weight of the storm, and billowing dust formed tornadoes that blotted out the sun, as if the end of the world had come.

Some of the surrounding buildings collapsed with a roar, some tilted precariously, and some had their windows shattered.

Especially the low building that was hooked by Nexus's leg, which was cut in half as if it were cut in half, leaving only a pitiful section, which can still prove its former glory.

“Huh…”

Nexus tried to stand up again, but before he could get halfway up, countless scorching fireballs were sprayed at him!

"Jie!"

Completely engulfed by the flames, his body was covered in flames. He struggled in agony, but could no longer stand up; even moving was a luxury.

Nexus lay on the ground, stubbornly staring at Zetton. The pain and loss of strength made him unable to participate in the battle. He could only clench his fists helplessly, pressing them into the ground and leaving fist marks, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

“zhidun…”

The cosmic dinosaur Zetton is an entity that has defeated and even killed Ultraman several times.

The original Ultraman was severely injured by its own beam reflected off it during their battle, ultimately leading to its death; Powered died from exhaustion during the same fight (having depleted its energy). Max was also defeated by it, and even Geno, who came to its rescue, was unable to inflict any damage.

With its four core skills—instant teleportation, super defense, beam reflection, and a trillion-degree fireball—Zetton was a force to be reckoned with in the early days of the Ultra Universe. Even after being brutally beaten by a host of opponents in the New Generation era, its glorious past achievements could not be overshadowed.

Now, it seems that another significant chapter will be added to the Zetton clan's record.

“zhidun…”

"duang..."

"duang..."

Zetton's heavy footsteps, accompanied by unsettling insect chirps, drew ever closer to the fallen Nexus.

Faced with a desperate situation, Nexus mustered all his strength, enduring the impending collapse of his body, and knelt on the ground, attempting to gather the power of light to unleash his strongest finishing move in red form, the Ultimate Ray (Layered Ray).

However, Mana, whose consciousness was somewhat blurred, had no idea how bad her condition was. Nexus's current energy was simply insufficient to unleash any skills. After a brief burst of light on her left arm, it quickly faded away.

“Huh…”

As the Giant of Light watched helplessly as the cosmic monster approached, the surrounding defense forces were already in position, with all their cannons aimed at Zetton.

"Support the giant!"

Inside the temporary command post, Commander Yoshimoto finally received orders from the branch.

He let out a soft sigh, as if he had released countless pressures.

"Everyone, get ready! Aim at Jaden and give him a good beating!"

At the front-line command post, the commander received the order, saluted Yoshimoto on the screen, then stood at attention, turned around, and shouted.

Just as Zetton stood in front of Nexus, openly condensing a full-scale one-trillion-degree fireball, fire support from the human side suddenly arrived!

In an instant, it was like a barrage of cannon fire, with a continuous stream of shells striking Jetton like meteors, leaving red streaks across the sky that highlighted the ferocity of the defense forces' firepower.

Caught off guard, the space dinosaurs swiftly erected a barrier, and countless projectiles, as if finding an opening, surged toward the barrier that firmly protected Zetton.

"Increase firepower! Molecular cutting cannons, fire immediately!"

Upon learning of the defeat at the Octagonal Base, Commander Yoshimoto was both nervous and excited.

If the ground forces can achieve results this time, the Rimoto branch may increase its resource allocation to the defense forces' ground troops. After that, there will be no more talk of air power being stronger than ground power, and the dominant position between the two will change in the future.

The premise is that ground-based firepower can penetrate defenses that even new military satellites cannot break through.

Only in this way can Jetton be harmed.

The artillery barrage lasted for several minutes. Calculations showed that the power of these shells and beams, if they covered a city, could turn it into ruins that were impossible to look at.

Smoke rose from the area where Zetton was, while Nexus had already taken the opportunity to roll away to a distance. After a short rest, even though the warning signs on his chest were still constantly being raised, he managed to stand up. After staring at the smoke for a few seconds, he slowly adopted a fighting stance.

"What?! Look at the giants like this..."

"The monster hasn't been defeated yet?!"

Yoshimoto, Ihara, and the others couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Especially Gibbon, as the overall commander of the operation, mobilized twice as many artillery and tanks as he did in Dinozore last time!

“Jetton…”

As if to utterly shatter his confidence, the terrifying figure slowly reappeared beneath the mist that gradually spread into the sky.

Nexus, who was well-prepared, emitted a dazzling light from his chest. His hands moved like tai chi, first forming an angle between his hands and his chest, almost in a circle, before converging at the center to provide power to his core.

Immediately, a beam of light shot towards Zetton at lightning speed!

At the same time, a whooshing sound suddenly appeared in the sky, and a white mechanical figure broke through the clouds and entered the battlefield. From its chest, a powerful beam of light, like a javelin, stabbed fiercely towards Zetton!

The combined attack from O and Galactron was not something Zetton dared to underestimate.

With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

Unfortunately, their attacks came too late, instantly destroying the surrounding buildings!

The continuous explosions, the collapsing houses, and the soon-to-be-ignited fires, along with the crumbling ruins, were a shocking sight.

"Missed it, cunning."

Huixia had landed in an inconspicuous corner on the ground, originally intending to take advantage of Zetton's momentary lapse in concentration to kill him instantly.

The combined power of Galactron Spark and Nexus Core Pulse was sufficient, but unfortunately Zetton used Teleportation to dodge it at the last moment.

“Jetton…”

Zetton reappeared in another location, warily watching Galactron in the air.
