His countless acts of stepping forward have earned him absolute authority and trust.
The people will firmly believe that their king is invincible and possesses unparalleled strength.
But that's not true; it's absolutely not the case.
The truth is that while Lionheart Arus is indeed powerful, he still hasn't broken free from the individual strength of the elite Ultra Brothers, the most famous Ultra Brothers in the universe. Perhaps at his peak, he could defeat Zoffy without using the M87 Beam, but that's all he could achieve.
He is not as good as Belial before he fell from grace in the Land of Light, nor as good as Joneus who had reached Belial's level, and he is far from being comparable to the legendary Father of Ultra and Alien Empera.
Moreover, he is already old.
Meanwhile, the two sons who inherited Ultraman's power had not yet grown up.
So the L77 was targeted.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh—!"
Behind him were his people, who, despite the harsh conditions, erupted in thunderous cheers upon seeing their invincible king finally appear. They still believed that no matter what happened, everything would be alright as long as their great king appeared.
Arus had no time to listen to the clamor of loyalty. He could only face the approaching tsunami, roar angrily, and unleash a surge of Ultra psychic power to meet it. The target of his attack was not the two monsters, but the terrifying storm they had stirred up.
The royal family of L77 possesses the power of Ultraman, but this power is not as comprehensive as that of the Land of Light. They are not as proficient in either beams or Ultraman telekinesis. Arus only has one chance to unleash this level of telekinesis.
Rather than killing the monster and winning the battle, he was more focused on dispelling the tsunami and saving the lives of his people.
He succeeded.
The tsunami, swept in from distant seas, rebounded and roared back into the churning ocean. Although a large portion of it fell directly onto land, submerging lush forests and forming vast lakes, it was still some distance from the kingdom and posed no threat to the people's safety.
The continuous tsunami even drenched the two culprits that caused the disaster, leaving them nowhere to hide.
They were two ferocious and terrifying monsters, with sharp and huge blades on their heads and backs. Apart from the different colors, one was red and the other was black, they looked exactly the same and were twin monsters.
All the citizens of the kingdom were stunned.
What stunned them was not the terrifying appearance of the two monsters, but the incessant downpour from the sky and King Arusna's obvious panting despite his best efforts to conceal it.
The king only managed to quell the tsunami, but the storm continued.
This is impossible; the king will not allow his people to continue to suffer from this clearly abnormal natural disaster.
Unless he no longer has the energy to spare.
"Don't be afraid, His Majesty is invincible! Don't be afraid, let's retreat quickly and not hinder His Majesty, hurry, hurry!"
The commander of the Imperial Guards rushed out and shouted to everyone, trying to guide them away from thinking about a certain possibility.
He may not be a qualified commander of the royal guards, because he had just doubted the king he was supposed to be loyal to, but at least now he knows how His Majesty the King most wants his people to respond, and he will fulfill this duty with his life!
In the dark and hazy world, Arus had already clashed with two monsters. He was old, but even with the tsunami pushed back and the torrential rain not yet completely submerging the land, he was still able to use his rich combat experience to make perfect maneuvers on land, and at one point forced back the terrifying Giras brothers.
However, physical decline cannot be compensated for by experience.
"Father is dying!"
Leo stared wide-eyed at the heartbreaking scene outside. His father, whom he remembered as invincible, was being defeated by a monster and was now at a disadvantage, the situation becoming critical. "How is this possible?"
Only now did he realize, in a daze, that perhaps he had too many romanticized notions about his father.
"Brother, what do we do?"
The weak-willed Astra didn't know what to do at this time.
His emotions told him he should rush to protect his father, but he was used to obeying his father's orders. Now, his father's orders clashed with his emotions, leaving him at a loss and unsure of what to do.
Fortunately, at that moment, his brother stepped forward and gave him a new instruction that balanced both sides of the scale.
"Is there any need to ask? There's only one thing you need to do now: stick close to me, Astra. We need to do what we have to do!"
Leo roared angrily, how could he just abandon his father and the people and run away like this?
"Leo!"
"Astra!"
On the turbulent planet L77, two young lions, still far from being as powerful as the Lion King, roared. Despite their inexperience, the two brothers managed to escape their father's predicament by launching a sneak attack, each delivering a flying kick to the Giras brothers monster.
"Leo, Astra? What are you still doing here? Didn't I tell you to run!"
Arus stared in astonishment at his sons; this was the first time his two children had disobeyed his orders.
"Father, I cannot accept this!"
Leo angrily refuted this, pointing at the two monsters, "They are indeed very powerful, but we can defeat them. You're not the only one who can fight them!"
"You idiot! Our enemy is not that simple. Hurry up and go find reinforcements outside, now!"
Arus was furious.
"Haha, trying to run? Too late. It wasn't for nothing that I waited so long. You've all finally shown up, L77's royalty. It seems I can wipe you all out this time, leaving no one behind."
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck.
This time, what appeared in the darkness was a brand new, overwhelming enemy!
Chapter 60 Overwhelming Darkness? Overwhelming Light!
The heavy rain felt like it was falling on Arus's soul, chilling him to the bone and freezing him to the bone. He stared stiffly at the masterminds behind the scenes who were no longer hiding, these true invaders.
Dozens of spaceships, each over a thousand meters in size, spanned the sky. Legions were transported from them to the ground. The sheer number of them gave them an overwhelming advantage. Hundreds and thousands of Magma soldiers, each possessed the innate ability to grow to enormous size.
Commanding them was the infamous Magma Admiral Volugan, whose identity was extremely distinctive and notorious throughout the universe. He wore a replica of the dark armor of the Alien Empera. Although the replica was far less powerful than the original, it was still extremely imposing and became a distinctive and chilling symbol of Volugan.
Behind Volugan were several of his generals and confidants, each possessing power far exceeding that of ordinary monsters. In particular, the sword-wielding tyrant Magma alien was the master of the Giras brothers, the monsters that unleashed the torrential rain and tsunami.
Such a terrifying power is enough to render almost any force in the universe, except for the Land of Light and the Emperor Empire, powerless.
L77 is also included.
"Magnamians, why did you invade this planet?!"
Leo clenched his fists and angrily questioned, "We have never had any war or hatred with you!"
"War? Hatred? How naive. Does bloodshed and slaughter need so many reasons? As long as there is profit, that's enough."
Volugan laughed loudly, "Your existence is the reason we came here, you fools. Surrender obediently, become our slaves, and wait to be sold to the Dark Nebula. That will be your fate from now on."
In this universe, there are many Ultraman. Although 99% of them come from the Land of Light, there are also Ultraman who do not belong to the Land of Light, such as Zearth from the Z95 Nebula, Joneus from the U40 Nebula, and the current L77.
However, apart from the Land of Light, Ultraman in other places are just isolated cases. There is no planet where everyone is an Ultraman. Instead, it is just that one or a few people on that planet accidentally became light life forms due to reasons that are difficult to replicate.
Even in U40, which has the most Ultraman characters, only a handful can grow to giant size like normal Ultraman.
Those remaining people in U40 who can transform into the same appearance as Ultraman but do not possess the ability to grow to enormous size are not actually Ultraman, strictly speaking.
For Ultraman from the Land of Light, even if he shrinks to the size of a human, he can still withstand the direct attacks of monsters that are tens of meters tall.
However, those 'Ultramen' in U40 who cannot grow to giant size cannot do so. Even if they form a large army, they can be instantly killed by the aftershocks of monster attacks. In essence, they do not possess the superior qualities and strength of Ultraman.
Therefore, in this universe, Ultraman outside the Land of Light rarely go out to fight evil and promote good throughout the universe, because they usually have their own homeland to stay and protect, so they don't have all kinds of enemies in the universe like the Land of Light.
Just as Arus spent his entire life on L77.
Having no enemies and being suppressed by powerful enough guardians, the fact that L77 was subjected to a large-scale invasion by an alien race with whom it had no grudges was unprecedented in the history of L77. The furious Leo was eager to know the cause of this incident.
However, all he received in response was ridicule from Volugan.
The prince, who grew up under his father's protection, had never so truly experienced the profound darkness of the universe. Most of his past experiences were training with his friends on the planet D60 in Draco, and his cruelest encounters were nothing more than defeating ferocious monsters.
"You actually want to capture us and turn us into slaves? What a joke! What do you take us for?!"
"Wrong,"
Volugan laughed evilly, "Without 'everyone,' the only ones of value are the three of you. As for those weak and ordinary people who are everywhere in the universe, let them be buried with this planet and become cosmic dust together!"
"Absolutely not! Don't even think about it!"
Leo is furious!
He was truly desperate and charged forward. Arus sighed helplessly and followed suit. Although it was an impulsive act, there was no other way. The enemy warships had surrounded the entire L77, and there was no way to escape. They could only risk their lives for a final gamble.
Let the father and his two sons unleash their final power for this planet!
Seeing this, the Sword Tyrant brandished his sword, ready to send his monster Giras to take his place. But Volugan waved his hand and refused, determined to use his invincible power to inflict both mental and physical despair on the three Ultramen.
"Boom!"
The Cosmic Beast Fist punch emerged from the fists of Leo and Astra. The brothers joined forces and struck the replica of Volugan's dark armor with a low rumble, but it did not cause any damage. Volugan only took a half step back and then easily received Arus's attack.
The old lion's all-out attack caused Volugan's reaction to be even greater than before, but unfortunately, the force reaching his body had been weakened considerably and still failed to cause any substantial damage. This armor was simply too powerful.
"Rebel! Rebel! The more energetic you are, the more I look forward to your performance when I imprison you!"
Volugan was arrogant, fighting three opponents at once, but under Arus's leadership, Volugan could not gain any advantage except for the sturdiness of his armor. If the stalemate continued, he might even get injured.
Growing increasingly impatient, Volugan gave his subordinate a wink, and the sword-wielding tyrant Magma understood immediately, ordering the twin monsters to slaughter the civilians who were still seeking refuge on the ground.
Arus, Leo, and Astra were all distracted and anxiously tried to return to defense, but were ambushed by Volugan. Arus, in particular, was hit hard in the kidneys and staggered to the ground, suffering serious injuries.
"mean!"
Astra's eyes widened in fury, and she even tried to get up and fight back.
Volugan stomped on his head, pressing down hard, and grinned smugly, declaring his victory: "Despicable? Haha, I'm the one who took everything. Say what you will, just watch, I'll make you remember everything that happened."
He shifted his gaze to the shocked citizens on the ground. The king's defeat was so unbelievable to them that many were still unable to process what had happened.
"Watch this, Ultraman! The people you're supposed to protect are about to be slaughtered right before your eyes. It's all because of your incompetence!"
Volugan made no attempt to conceal his mockery and deception, declaring to the hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people in the city: "Choose! Will you die with your incompetent ruler, or betray them and become my subordinate?"
If it's the latter, he might not accept it, but he might also spare the traitor's life out of such a twisted sense of humor.
To gamble on a chance of survival, they must scorn and rebel against their king and prince. This is the path that Volugan has chosen. He wants to see people abandon morality, kindness, and integrity in order to survive. He wants to see the once righteous Ultramen turn their faces dark and their hearts corrupted when this happens.
But everyone told him: No.
Although Leo was restrained and unable to move by the sword-wielding tyrant Magma, he did not look away. Instead, he faced this tragic reality head-on. Regardless of whether the people would do something against their conscience to save their lives, he would not hate or be disappointed. He would only be more furious at the culprit of all this: "Vorugan!!"
Volugan enjoyed the anger, but he soon lost his joy.
After a moment of silent astonishment, without any instigation or coordination, the people on the ground made the same decision—they shielded the elderly and children behind them, abandoned their refuge, and faced the Magma aliens' legion with clear looks of rejection.
Apart from the Imperial Guard commander who drew his sword, no one attempted to take up arms to resist.
Yes.
