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

Dark Lugiel calmed himself down, stared at Regard, and slowly spoke.

"Back in the Nexus universe, I told you why I chose this path, but unfortunately you couldn't walk the same path with me in the end."

"Now, I only want to ask you one question: Can you and the Milky Way guarantee that the universe will definitely get better and better in the future? Not just until the time of my birth, but also in the more distant future, or rather, will the universe continue to progress eternally?"

Regard looked intently at Dark Lugiel, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"No, because the development of the universe is inherently a spiral ascent. At a certain stage, the universe may experience a major regression, and then continue to rise, developing into an even higher peak that surpasses the previous one."

"Hahahaha..."

Dark Lugiel laughed loudly, then looked at Regard and said...

"This is the limitation of you and the Milky Way Mindset. You are obsessed with observing the development of the universe, but you ignore its regression, or rather, you don't care about the regression of the universe!"

Dark Lugiel continued.

"Perhaps, perhaps the universe really will spiral upwards and become better, but at some point, or even many points, the universe will be in a regressive phase. At that time, how will suffering and confused lives save themselves?!"

“Not everyone has the power of you or the Milky Way. When the universe is in chaos and despair, you can certainly live a carefree life and continue your own happiness and joy. But what about those people, those who are struggling at the bottom of the universe?”

Dark Lugiel became more and more agitated as he spoke.

"Most life forms are too short-lived. The universe's ascent may last for hundreds of millions of years, but a mere 1000 million years of regression can bring it back to its origin. In those 1000 million years, how many generations of life will be plunged into dark despair? How many people will be adrift in a sea of ​​suffering?"

"And I, with my power, can freeze all life in that moment of happiness. On a cosmic scale, I can freeze the universe's time at its peak of development, and that is the true meaning of eternal, blissful life!!"

"Senior Regard, you've overlooked the most important thing!!"

Dark Lugiel resolutely delivered the final blow.

"You have lost the most basic and important humanistic care!!"

Regard listened quietly to Dark Lugiel's words, listening intently for fear of missing a single word, even more attentively than when he listened to Carmilla's confession.

After listening to Dark Lugiel's words, Regard remained silent, as if he had been persuaded by him.

Dark Lugiel stared silently at Regard, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his eyes, his gaze fixed on the other.

Just when Dark Lugiel thought Regard was about to agree to his decision, he saw the other party suddenly burst into laughter.

Hahahahahaha!!!

The sudden laughter left Dark Lugiel bewildered. He looked at Regard with confusion, wondering what was so funny about his seemingly flawless words.

Regard seemed to have laughed enough, and stopped. He slowly raised a finger and said.

"First, it's not that we don't care about the regression of the universe; on the contrary, we care about it more than ordinary life forms. The actions of the Land of Light are the best illustration of this. No matter which galaxy or planet is plunged into war and despair, the people of the Land of Light will go without hesitation to soothe the despair. They... or rather, we value this matter more than our own lives!!"

"Secondly, you only see those lives struggling in despair, but you turn a blind eye to those lives full of hope and happiness. You say I lack humanistic care, but in fact, you are the one who lacks humanistic care the most!"

Although Dark Lugiel was being refuted by Regard, he was different from before. He showed no remorse and, like Regard before him, listened carefully to every word.

Regart continued.

Finally, you asked me if I would accept your path to eternal stillness, and my answer is... no!!

Regard stood up from the ground, looked down at Dark Lugiel, and said.

"After we parted, I actually thought about many things, and combined with what you just said, I finally cleared up the confusion in my heart."

"Your biggest problem is that you and Yinhe have different focuses. He focuses more on the inheritance and happiness of life, while you focus on the stillness and suffering of life. It is this difference in your views that has led you to take two different paths."

Dark Lugiel also stood up, staring intently into Regard's eyes, and asked.

"So, which path do you think is right for me and for Yinhe?"

Regard shook his head and said calmly.

"Both are right, and neither are right..."

Dark Lugiel was a little confused and asked in bewilderment.

"What does it mean?"

Regard calmly pointed out Dark Lugiel's doubts.

"Because life is not something that can be simply measured by value. This is the most important point that has been overlooked in your ideology!"

Chapter 405 The Hyperspace Battlefield Descends

When Dark Lugiel heard Regard say that the paths between him and the galaxy each had their advantages and disadvantages, he couldn't help but ask a question in return.

"Since you believe that both my path and the Milky Way's path have their merits, why are you unwilling to try supporting my path? Why is your attention always focused on the Milky Way?!"

Listening to Lugiel's words, for some reason, Regard suddenly felt like he had encountered a child accusing his parents of not treating him fairly.

Suddenly, Reggart remembered a sentence.

Disharmony among children is often due to the lack of virtue in the elderly...

wrong!!

Regard shook his head violently. This war was caused by an ideological conflict between Galaxy and Dark Lugiel; what did it have to do with him?! He wasn't going to act like a heartless old man...

But what exactly is my place in your hearts? A male mother...?

Feeling that things were taking a strange turn, Regard tried to calm his chaotic thoughts and spoke in a composed manner.

"I believe that I will not be biased towards you in the future. I can feel that you treat me like family, so I will definitely treat you as family in the future as well. Therefore, I will give you equal support."

Dark Lugiel persisted, pressing for more details.

"So, why is that?"

Regard sighed and began to speak.

"Although both of your paths have their merits and demerits, the path of the Milky Way has one more important quality than yours."

"Something important?"

Dark Lugiel murmured, and Regard didn't keep them in suspense any longer, saying...

"That is the 'future'!!"

Regard said, word by word.

"Your approach prioritizes stability, dragging all lives into a moment of bliss, but in doing so, you stifle the future possibilities of these lives, freezing them in that moment regardless of their joys or sorrows, leaving them with no future ever again!!"

"But Yinhe chooses to believe in the future of life, and that's where his difference with you lies!!"

Lugiel took a deep breath and said, puzzled.

"The future? But who can guarantee that life will be happy in the future? Rather than facing an unhappy future, why not embrace the happiness of the present?!"

Just as Dark Lugiel was getting more and more excited, Regard interrupted him.

"No one can guarantee that life will be happy in the future, but likewise, Lugiel, you cannot guarantee that life will not be happy in the future. This is life itself's right to choose!"

Dark Lugil suddenly met Reggart's gaze and said resolutely.

"So, I'm doing this for their own good!! To protect them from the possibility of an unhappy future, and to keep them happy in the present!!"

"Then you have embarked on a path that goes against the will of the Ultra Warriors."

Regard interrupted Dark Lugiel with his calm words, and then continued.

"The duty of Ultra Warriors is to guide people toward a happy future. We may not be able to prevent unhappiness from coming, but we can at least increase the possibility of a happy future."

"To put it more specifically, the reason I support Yinhe is because we share similar values ​​as fellow Ultra Warriors. We are both willing to shoulder this responsibility together and have decided to believe in the future of life!!"

"And this is the meaning of Ultra Warriors' existence!!"

Regard looked at Dark Lugiel and said meaningfully.

"I believe you used to think the same way, but your values ​​changed after you experienced things during your travels. After all, in a sense, you are also an Ultra Warrior, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Dark Lugiel remained silent, but his fists clenched quietly.

After a long silence, he spoke.

"As for values, yes, perhaps that's what I used to think, but..."

Dark Lugiel turned around, his figure moving away from Regard step by step, and he spoke slowly but resolutely.

"Now that my values ​​have changed, I believe that Senior Reggart's values ​​might not necessarily be different from mine!!"

He continued walking forward, his figure gradually becoming a small black dot in Regard's eyes.

"Then let me present you with the blissful universe after it has come to a standstill, so that you and the Milky Way can see it together. I believe that we will become one family again in this still universe!!"

Dark Lugiel's figure suddenly disappeared into the gray space. Regard sighed and did not try to chase after him.

He understood that this war was inevitable.

"So it's come to this after all... Lugiel, perhaps your determination to create a happy universe surpasses that of the Ultra Warriors..."

As Regard was deep in thought, a light screen suddenly lit up in the gray space. Regard looked up and saw dozens of black spaces merging together, gradually forming a huge space.

"Is this... what Lugiel wants me to see?"

Regard understood Dark Lugiel's intention: he wanted him to witness the universe coming to a standstill, hoping to change Lugiel's mind.

Feeling the power within his body, Regard understood that even if he activated his Eternal Form, he could not break through this gray space. Dark Lugiel must have put in a lot of effort, otherwise he wouldn't be so fearless.

Regard sighed and scratched his head in distress.

"What's with this feeling of being a princess atop a tower...?"

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

As the dark space merged, fragments of dozens of universes came together to form a vast space, and the previously separated Ultra Warriors also took this opportunity to reunite.

Correspondingly, the Spark Dolls, which had previously been hiding inside the dark space and had now materialized, appeared before the people of the Land of Light, forming a sea of ​​beasts.

Seeing the monsters with glowing red eyes, Zero eagerly threw a punch.

"Hmph, watch me beat you all back into puppets!!"

Seven pulled Zero aside and gave him some instructions.

"Zero, be careful! The mastermind hasn't shown up yet, but he must have a reason for releasing so many monsters!!"

Zero rubbed his nose and said confidently.

"Okay, Dad, you'd better watch out for me!!"
