Special Effects: An Initial Overview of Father of Ultra

Zero suddenly jumped behind Belial, picked him up in reverse, and leaped into the air before slamming him down heavily.

As the smoke cleared, Belial's hunchback became even more pronounced. The two immediately unleashed their beams in a duel, but this time Zero stood on the left, and unsurprisingly, Belial's beam defeated Zero. Belial then burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

On the other side, Dark Gona was relentlessly pursuing the Royal spaceship, even using missiles to evade them. Just as the spaceship was about to continue its escape, it was bound by ropes and its energy was being drained in large quantities.

The Mirror Knight was also helpless against the Steel Dragon's defenses. Suddenly, the princess ran to the energy chamber. The blood flowing through the bodies of the Esmeralda royal family possessed the same energy as the Emerald ore. The princess was about to sacrifice herself to gain a glimmer of hope.

……

Wang Xiaoming: "Wait a minute, wasn't Zero dominating Belial before? How come Belial has already turned the tables so quickly?"

Da Congming: "Belial's invasion of Esmeralda was probably for the Emerald ore. Perhaps over the years, Belial has absorbed a lot of these ores to replenish himself."

Huanhuan Teppanyaki: "The princess would not sacrifice herself to provide energy for the spaceship."

Jeep Sage: "Damn Belial, you've already found your way to death. Leo, keep training Zero. It doesn't matter if he dies, since he has life solidification anyway. We must develop his potential more before the crisis arrives."

King of Fighters: "Okay, okay, I think we should find a spaceship for Zero to experience."

Jeep Sage: "That's not enough. I'll call Ace and the others to go with me. I'll train them myself."

"Twenty thousand years too early: 'Dad, what are you saying? I wasn't slacking off just now, why do we have to do extra training again? Weren't you scolding Belial? How come I'm the one who got injured?'"

……

[After Emeralana entered the energy chamber, the dimly lit cockpit immediately lit up, and with ample energy, the Royal Spaceship immediately allowed Xiaozhi to shout...]

"Samurai Transformation"

The massive energy surge blasted Dark Gona away, turning the spaceship into a humanoid robot, and then Janbert appeared.

He punched Dark Gona in mid-air, then used Samurai Fist to repel it, and summoned Samurai Lightsaber to engage in close combat. Seeing that he was no match for Dark Gona, Dark Gona immediately merged into the darkness.

Janbert's detector was also unable to pinpoint Dark Gona's location. Suddenly, Dark Gona used the same trick again, binding Janbert and draining his energy. After Janbert and Xiaozhi were in danger, Dark Gona slowly approached. At this moment, Janbert took out his samurai battle axe.

One powerful whirlwind attack sent Dark Gona straight to meet Grandma.

On the other side, the Steel Dragon was still fighting against the Mirror Knight with its defensive capabilities. The Mirror Knight discovered a wound on the Steel Dragon's back, so it set up a barrier to trap the dragon inside and fired a silver cross beam. The beam reflected continuously within the barrier, giving the Steel Dragon a painful scratch. Just as the Steel Dragon was about to break through...

The light pierced directly through its back armor, and the Steel Dragon exclaimed in amazement.

"All the attacks hit the same spot precisely." He then went to see his great-grandmother.

Chapter 38 Arc Belial

[Da Congming: "I never imagined that this spaceship could transform into a robot, and it even knew how to use tricks, feigning weakness to the enemy, and then eliminating Dark Gona before he could react."]

Sweet Bean Chicken: "Although Mirror Knight's attack power isn't that strong, it's clever of him to keep attacking the same part."

Wang Xiaoming: "It seems the forces of light have completely defeated the forces of darkness, but the BOSS hasn't shown up yet."

……

Zero followed Belial all the way to the underground, where countless high-purity Emerald ore were piled up. Zero turned his head and found Belial absorbing these ores.

Deprived of energy replenishment, the mechanical giant claws gripping the planet Esmeralda, along with numerous spaceships, also fell backward. As green light radiated, a beast-like body, predominantly black and red, with its back covered in green Emerald ore crystals, grabbed Zero—this was Arc Belial.

Arc Belial held Zero tightly, while Mirror Knight and Janbert tried to rescue him but were punched away. Belial then laughed wildly while holding an official Zero toy. It can only be said that Belial really likes Zero.

At that moment, a flame descended from the sky, snatching Zero from Belial's grasp. The Flame Warrior, who had perished alongside Belial's army, returned, bringing with him the Justice League's fleet. The Flame Pirates, Mirror Star, and Planet Anu all dispatched their fleets to help.

The four warriors gathered together, while on the other side, Arc Belial opened his blood-red maw and released the Arc Desium Ray. Zero and his group quickly set up a barrier to block it, but Belial, who had absorbed countless Emerald Ore, quickly shattered part of the barrier, and the lights on Zero's body stopped flashing and went out.

Janbert, the Flame Warrior, the Mirror Knight, the Flame Pirate... all converged into beams of light. As the light faded, Zero, whose lights had gone out, was resurrected in the pure white space.

The red core timer appeared, converging into the giant seen in the underground temple. Noah appeared, raising his hand to gather countless streams of light onto Zero. The Shield of Paragi blocked Belial's light when it appeared and reflected it back.

The Shield of Paragi disappeared, and Zero reappeared, now wearing the ultimate armor formed from the Shield of Paragi. He destroyed Belial's base with a single strike, prompting even Belial to complain.

"Damn it, are you kidding me?"

Zero disassembled his ultimate armor into a bow and arrow, then began charging it at Belial, who also opened his mouth to charge up.

The OMO members nearby realized that Belial might make the first move, so they immediately stepped forward to try and stop him.

They successfully interrupted Belial's charge-up, but both of them were sent flying. Belial then charged up again, directly attacking Zero who was still charging. Zero shattered into countless shards of glass, from which Mirror Knight gracefully emerged.

"I'm best at making mirrors,"

This is just Zero's reflection; the real Zero is behind Belial. Now, Belial is on the left and Zero is on the right. Belial is shot through by Zero and calls out "Zero!" before he dies.

Zero raises the bracelet, and the Land of Light receives the message simultaneously. Belial's army sent to the Land of Light is also destroyed. As Ultraman, Zoffy, and Father of Ultra return, the image at the very bottom surprisingly features the King of Ultra.

……

[Beelzebub: "Damn it, are you kidding me? How come he always has some kind of cheat code? Last time it was the recognition of the Plasma Spark, and this time it's fine that Noah came, but why did the King of Ultra also take action personally? He didn't even see him when we invaded the Land of Light last time."]

Leonardo DiCaprio: "I feel sorry for Belial for a second. Zero had already turned off the lights, and he was about to defeat him, but then a cheat code appeared. Why is it so hard for us villains to win?"

The Universe Guy said, "Why does the final scene feel so familiar? It's so similar to the scene during Ultraman Tiga's final battle. Back then, I also turned into light."

The princess who was jilted: "Thank goodness, in the end, my father and mother are all alright."

"Twenty thousand years too early: But Emerala, you..."

……

[The scene shifts, and Xiaozhi and Zero are kneeling on one knee in front of Jumbert's energy pod.]

"She sacrificed her own life. Rest in peace, Emerala."

As the two turned around, the door to the energy chamber suddenly opened, and Emerala came out. She had changed her clothes and had lost a lot of weight. Xiaozhi thought he had encountered a ghost and quickly hid behind Zero.

"You, you're not dead." (Zhu Di opens his mouth)

At that moment, Giampaolo's voice rang out, "I never said Her Highness the Princess would die..."

Zero sat on a rock in the grass when Emeralna appeared behind him and called out to him.

Zero turned around and said

"It seems there's nothing more to do here."

Zero suddenly pulled out the crown he had found and put it directly on Emerana's head.

"I should go now," Zero said, transforming and leaving Lan's body under the princess's affectionate gaze.

Meanwhile, Emeralna's gaze towards Arashi changed instantly after Zero left. After giving a self-introduction, the scene returned to Zero's side.

Zero is flying through space when Flame Warrior, Mirror Knight, and Jumbo appear beside him. The four form the Ultimate Zero Guard. The scene freezes after the four strike a pose.

……

[Da Congming: "Zero, why did you run away right after flirting with the princess? And after Zero left, the princess's eyes turned to look at Lan as if she were a stranger."]

Wang Xiaoming: "She really did run away from her marriage. If she had stayed longer, she might have already become Esmeralda's son-in-law."

Great Horned Bull: "From this day forward, the Land of Light and Esmeralda are officially allied. This is a decision made after discussions between me and King Esmeralda." (He then glanced at Seven, who was pleading incessantly.)

King of Ultra: "Since Noah gave Zero the equipment, I will give Emerala a bracelet that allows her to teleport to the Land of Light at any time."

Twenty thousand years earlier: "Your Majesty, how did you get involved? We don't even know each other now, what's going on?"

The princess who was jilted: "I woke up to find a bracelet on my wrist (like the ultimate armor). Thank you, King of Ultra. So, can I go to the Land of Light now?"

Jeep Sage: "Of course, I will guide Princess Emerana to familiarize herself with the Land of Light, and then take her to K76 to see Zero."

Tokiwa Sougo: "How eager they are! Seven-senpai must be itching to see the princess."

Meat processing plant director: "We who only know how to fight don't have any gifts for Emerana. Oh, right, we can ask Hikari to make some good things for us."

Superman Guang: "I have no problem. I'll just give the princess two more 'lives' myself!"

Da Congming: "Can you even give up your life?"

Superman A-Guang: "Oh, this is short for life solidification technology. It's universally applicable and can revive someone once. As long as it doesn't directly dissipate, it can be used."

Chapter 39 That Lord

Zero's main story has come to a temporary end, as his experiences are complex and cannot be fully recounted in a short time.

Then, the sky slowly distributed exclusive rewards:

1. Reduce the energy consumption of all Zero forms, greatly improving his combat endurance;

2. Significantly enhance Zero's regenerative abilities, allowing him to heal quickly even from injuries. (To avoid being bullied by Dada; Dada is too strong.)

3. Emeralana acquired the Ultra race genes.

[Next episode preview: The multiple identities of the cosmic gang leader, Shafulin, that person, and Captain Flamehead]

……

Duanmu Yan stared at the words on the screen, tilted her head slightly, and asked with a puzzled look, "Hey, isn't this also a member of the group?"

Wang Xiaoming followed the gaze, nodded slightly, his eyes full of confusion: "It is indeed him, but what does 'that person' mean? Does he have a hidden identity that no one knows about?"

Zoffy, whose name was called, stood silently in the crowd, an inexplicably heavy atmosphere surrounding him, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

……

Within the red sphere of light, the color timer on Ultraman's chest went out completely.

Just then, a deep and mysterious voice slowly rang out: "Cosmic Superman, open your eyes, I am Shafulin."

The scene shifts, and the village team members, their faces contorted with anger, sternly question the Baltan alien: "What exactly is this plan you're talking about?"

A sinister smile curled at the corner of Baltan's lips as he spoke clearly, word by word, throughout the entire arena: "The plan to eliminate Ultraman was devised by Zoffy."

The scene shifts again, and Ultraman Taro, in order to protect the children of Earth, is ambushed from behind by the volcanic monster bird Birdon, and falls to the ground severely injured. Zoffy arrives in time and quickly sends Taro back to the Land of Light for treatment. Then, he turns around alone to face the ferocious and violent Birdon.

The battle was completely one-sided. Zoffy, the eldest of the Ultra Brothers, was completely suppressed by Barton and had no chance to fight back. In the midst of the fierce battle, Barton suddenly spewed out raging flames, instantly setting Zoffy's head ablaze. The flames burned wildly on his head, and eventually, exhausted, Zoffy was severely injured by Barton and collapsed.

A voice echoed across the sky, carrying a mix of irony and regret: The invincible Zoffy has fallen.

Sky Curtain: I gave these titles based on actual performance, not on anything I made up. Besides, even Belial couldn't suppress Zoffy's power.

……

Taro stared at the replaying scenes on the sky, looking at Zoffy with a bewildered expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, why do you always get into trouble every time you come to Earth? Last time you were easily trapped by the Hipporito aliens, and this time you were defeated by Barton."

Zoffy's face flushed red with anger and anxiety. He quickly retorted, "This is complete slander! My name is not Shafulin, and I have never devised any plan to eliminate Ultraman. My battle against Barton was just a momentary lapse in judgment, not a sign of weakness!"
