Ultraman: He captures EyeQ at the start, a righteous and fun-loving man.

Chapter 194 Backup Plan

As Dark Zagi dispelled the Dark Domain, the shockwave from Gruglem's self-destruction transported everyone to the outside world.

Intense spatial energy tore at the surrounding space, like dominoes, the spatial rifts continued to widen, the sky turned pitch black, and bursts of spacetime storms could be seen within.

While raising his light shield to protect the Night Raiders and using his telekinesis to support them and the plane, Regard summoned Bruton.

Bruton reacted quickly, immediately extending his whip-like hairs. Gentle spatial fluctuations, like ocean waves, collided with the spatial rift, attempting to smooth it out.

After a long time, the cracks in the sky disappeared as if erased by an eraser, leaving behind a clean sky.

Looking at the Night Raid team floating in the air and the Chrome Chester crashing to the ground, Regard landed on the ground, placed them on the ground, and deactivated his transformation.

Komon Kazuki was completely bewildered by this series of events. Looking at Shirogetsu, he couldn't help but shout out his name.

"Mr. Shiro, what exactly is going on? Why is Zaki targeting Shiori?"

Bai Yue turned around and looked at him, realizing that now was not the time to hide anything, and spoke up.

"To be precise, this was just a fishing game, but the bait wasn't you, it was the light of Nexus, and Shiori, just as I predicted, was chosen by Zagi to be the one to inherit the light."

Shiori Hiraki, now fully awake, looked at him with a bewildered expression.

"Inherit the light? Me?"

Bai Yue nodded and explained.

“From beginning to end, Zagi’s goal was the light of Nexus, and whether it was Jun Himeya, Rei Senju, the Night Raid Team, TLT, or the general public, they were all just tools he used to amplify the light.”

"That's what Riko Saida murmured."

"tool……"

Bai Yue nodded.

"Nexus's light can grow in battle, and Zagi's goal is the grown light. When the light reaches a certain level, he can use the darkness in the River of Oblivion to absorb the light into himself. At that time, it will be the time when Zagi is truly resurrected."

"Your TLT visionaries also know this, but they don't know much. They only know that fighting will make Nexus stronger, but they don't know that this is also what the enemy wants."

Saijo Nagi realized a key point.

"So, in other words, Zagi had already foreseen that Shiori would inherit the Light, which is why he targeted her, right?"

Bai Yue said with a half-smile.

"In fact, his original target was you. Just like how Shiori Hiraki's feelings for Mitsuhiko Ishihori were used by him, he originally planned to use the darkness buried in your heart from killing your mother, and then absorb the light when you inherit it."

Captain Hecang also figured out the key point.

"So, you anticipated that Zaki would target Shiori, and therefore waited for him to slip up, right?"

Bai Yue smiled and nodded, while Komon Kazuki said anxiously.

"But now that Zaki has escaped, isn't the light in great danger?"

Bai Yue gestured for him to calm down and said calmly.

"In fact, I didn't value this battle very much. My original plan was to use the light to lure out Dark Zagi. If Dark Lugiel wanted to help Dark Zagi, then I would go all out to eliminate them. That was the whole picture of my plan."

"But now it seems that Lugiel is also very cautious. He seems to have seen through my plan, so he did not show up."

"I said with concern," Riko Saida said.

"What should we do then? If neither of the two enemies shows up, won't this drag on indefinitely?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Bai Yue's lips.

"Probably, but just like Zaki has been lurking around you all along, often the most careful people are the ones closest to you."

Bai Yue's figure slowly disappeared, leaving behind a single sentence.

"Prepare for battle. The upcoming battle will likely be unprecedented in scale, and humanity will finally be freed from the threat of Zagi."

The Night Raid team was confused, but they had no choice but to board the Chrome Chester and return to base.

...............................

Dark Zagi's figure emerged from the underground cavern, which was originally the dwelling place of Baigbazun. He could stay in the Phase when he had Grugrim, but now he can only stay here.

Footsteps sounded behind him. Dark Zagi turned around fiercely and saw Dark Lugiel.

"Why didn't you attack! Do you know how much I've lost! Without Gruglem, how are we supposed to fight against Regart's spatial abilities!"

"We were able to disrupt space this time by relying on Grugram's self-destruction, but how will we escape next time!"

Dark Lugiel spoke slowly and deliberately.

"It seems you still don't understand Senior Regard. Don't you find it strange? He could have summoned all the monsters to kill you, but he only released one King Orb."

Dark Zagi tried to keep his head calm.

"You mean..."

Dark Lugiel nodded.

“That’s right. Based on my understanding of his style, there’s only one reason why he didn’t go all out to obliterate you right away: he wants to lure me out.”

"If I really show up, neither of us will be able to escape."

Dark Zagi said angrily.

"What do we do now? That light already bears the mark of Noah. Once that light grows stronger in the hands of another person, we simply cannot resist it in our current state!"

Dark Lugiel said calmly.

"Now you have two choices: either leave this world with me, or you find a way to plunge the person who inherited that light into darkness, and then we can talk about dealing with the Ultra Warriors after you've recovered your full form."

Zagi's face showed a conflicted expression, while Dark Lugiel quietly placed his hand behind his back, and Dark Spark had appeared in his hand without anyone noticing.

For him, the only value of Zaki's existence was to become his fighting force after he fully recovered his body. If he couldn't recover, then he would have no choice but to accept the darkness of the River of Oblivion, devour Zaki, and escape.

Zaki's expression kept changing, then his expression suddenly turned fierce.

"Let's give it another try. After so many years of planning, how could I possibly give up like this!"

Dark Lugiel nodded in satisfaction, and the dark sparks behind him quietly dissipated.

"This is the last chance. If you fail, we will have to leave this world (and you will have to be eaten by me)."

Behind them, Dark Mephisto watched their every move. Bai Yue, using the light emanating from Mephisto's body, observed everything and a strange smile appeared on her lips.

"How do you know that letting you see through the plan isn't part of my plan...?"

………………

Since Bai Yue has only met Dark Lugiel once in this world, she needs to devise so many plans to lure him out. You can find the details in the next chapter, and we're finally getting close to the final battle.

Please give me a tip!

Chapter 195 A Net of Heaven and Earth

For Baiyue, using light to lure out Zagi and Lugiel was just plan A. If anyone saw through the plan, then that person must be Dark Lugiel.

After all, a fully grown Nexus Light is an irresistible lure for Zagi, and he will definitely jump out to snatch it no matter what.

If Dark Lugiel helps him steal it, then it will be the perfect opportunity for him to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Since this plan failed, I have a plan B.

If Zagi finds the successor of the light first and causes him to fall into darkness, then when he absorbs the light, Dark Mephistopheles, as a trump card buried until now, will deliver a fatal blow.

It's even uncertain whether it was Mephistopheles or someone else who delivered the fatal blow.

Once Zagi is severely injured at his most triumphant moment, and Dark Mephisto is used to entangle Dark Lugiel, then it will be time for Zagi to reap the rewards.

And this is Plan B.

Of course, there's also Plan C: if Zagi and Lugiel want to escape, then Mephisto can backstab them while they're nearby. In that case, he and the monsters can all come out and at least leave one person behind.

If it were Lugiel who was killed, then he could join forces with the next fully grown successor of the Light of Nexus to kill Zagi. When the light grows into Noah, no matter how Zagi runs, he will not be able to escape his grasp.

If it were Zagi who was killed, then at worst I would just chase after Lugiel again, which is of course the worst-case scenario.

After all, he didn't know where Lugiel would run off to. If he invaded other timelines, it would inevitably lead to another catastrophe of frozen time.

It is precisely because they want to prevent Lugiel, who has the ability to travel through time, from continuing to wreak havoc on other universes that White Moon has been planning this all along, hoping to achieve victory in one fell swoop.

Since Dark Lugiel had only met him once since arriving in this timeline, White Moon had no choice but to keep luring him out.

Moreover, Mephisto was ultimately created by Zaki, and he could only temporarily seize control. If the other party hadn't been caught off guard, Mephisto's card would have been difficult to reveal.

"Well then... let's wait and see..."

...............................

The future, the Kingdom of Absolut.

Tartarus summoned Absolut Diablo and also sent for Gua's siblings.

"What's wrong? Tartarus actually called these three people over. This is such a sacred place; they're not allowed to set foot here!"

Diablo came out firing on all cylinders, seemingly questioning Tartarus, but everyone knows who he was actually dissing.

Gina was immediately displeased upon hearing this, took out her whip, pointed it at Diablo, and angrily rebuked him.

"You rude wretch! It was Tartarus who saved us three siblings! And who are you to call yourself!"

Diablo pointed to himself with his thumb and said arrogantly.

"I am the ultimate life form, Absolut's warrior, Absolut Diavolo!"

He looked at Gina and said disdainfully.

"You think you can boss me around? Hmph, the ultimate technique of the Cosmic Beast Fist: the Mighty Bull-Breaking Fist!"

A golden-red bull's head emblem solidified in the air before Diablo slammed it toward Gina with both fists.

"Emperor's Strike!"

Zhou Da unleashed a burst of sword energy from his golden greatsword, which exploded after a brief clash with the powerful Bull-Breaking Fist, the impact forcing both sides to retreat several steps.

Tartarus, watching this farce unfold, finally spoke up and shouted to stop it.

"Enough, Diablo, step back! They are guests of the kingdom!"

He's really exhausted right now. He was just thinking about how to deploy his forces, but when he saw his men fighting each other, he realized they were all fighting amongst themselves.
