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

Everyone looked over and saw tiny specks of fluorescent light flowing into the necklace in the girl's palm. Hikari observed for a while and said in surprise.

"She's... backing up her own data? That's quite an achievement."

Inside Victor Lugiel, the battle robot Mana is desperately trying to disrupt Victor Lugiel's programming, while behind her, Dark Lugiel angrily questions her.

"Why, you who are a machine, why are you stopping my great cause?! Only eternal happiness is the true destination of life!!"

In response to Lugiel's anger, Mana replied calmly.

"The cycle of life never stops, and the meaning of living will pass from one life to another. This is what someone told me."

Hearing her words, Dark Lugiel became even angrier.

"The meaning of life is that it has no meaning; life does not need to move forward, nor should it fear retreating, for I will lock them in eternity!!"

Mana didn't turn around, but continued with her work, and then she spoke.

"Moving forward or retreating are choices made by life itself. I am just a robot and do not have a deep understanding of life, but I understand."

Tears streamed slowly down her cheeks as she spoke firmly.

"Only by moving forward can we achieve eternity!!"

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, Dark Lugiel froze in shock, while Victor Lugiel outside also paused briefly.

It was at this moment that Galaxy and Victory seized the opportunity.

"Victory's Special Light Bullet!!"

"The ultimate miracle of the universe strikes!!"

A torrent of energy surged towards Victor Lugiel, completely engulfing the monster's body.

No...no!!!

Feeling his body crumble, Lugiel roared weakly. It was at that moment that a memory suddenly surfaced in his mind…

That was Galaxy Lugiel, standing behind Regard. Opposite them was a group of small humanoid creatures that looked like a combination of fish and ancient apes, expressing their gratitude to them.

Lagon, the ape-man from the deep sea.

The Ragon tribe suffered heavy losses due to the attack by Arigera. Fortunately, Regard descended from the sky with the Galactic Lugiel and drove away the beasts for them. That is why they expressed their gratitude to the two giant aliens.

As Lugiel watched this scene, he slowly spoke.

“Senior Regard, how pitiful these weak lives are. They can only die under the ravages of the strong, and they can do nothing about it.”

"Once upon a time, they lived and worked in peace and contentment here, but can this happiness really not last forever?"

Regard looked at the melancholy Lugiel and smiled slightly before speaking.

"On the bright side, they will gain experience in fighting monsters from this incident, and learn how to hide themselves more discreetly and store food better."

"They will find a way to pass all of this down, and they will tell future generations how terrifying the monsters are and how to deal with them."

"Despite experiencing grief, they will absorb every bit of it and create better conditions for future happiness. Isn't that also a process of moving towards happiness?"

Galaxy Lugiel asked somewhat anxiously.

"But is it really impossible to maintain eternal happiness?"

Regard said meaningfully.

"To attain happiness, one must keep moving forward, Lugiel. You already exist in the eternal journey of progress, don't you?"

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

"Eternal progress..."

Returning to the present, Victor Lugiel slowly closed his eyes.

"Was all of this... part of your plan...?"

boom!!!!

Chapter 471 Goodbye to the Monster Graveyard

Victor Lugiel was destroyed, and the Galactic World returned to its former peace. At the UPG base, Yuuichi Ichijo looked at the necklace containing the robot Mana's data before her death and smiled knowingly.

"Mana, we'll meet again, right?"

On the screen were Mana's machine data, and all of this was transmitted to the eyes of everyone in the Land of Light through the eyes of Father of Ultra.

"The fact that this robot was able to develop emotions from nothing is truly an incredible miracle..."

Hikari exclaimed in praise, and Father of Ultra, watching Taro and Hikari say goodbye, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that Taro doesn't need the support of the Land of Light anymore. Regard, I'm sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing."

Regard shook his head.

"No need to be so polite. Taro is also my friend. If something were to happen to him, I shouldn't stand idly by."

After he finished speaking, he began to say something.

"Now that things are settled with Taro, I'll be leaving now. I still have things to attend to on Yongming Star. See you next time, everyone."

Father of Ultra nodded, withdrew his gaze from that universe, and prepared to welcome Taro's return with the others.

Mebius watched Regard's departing figure and said with a slight puzzlement.

"Even though Dark Lugiel has been defeated, why does Regard seem a little unenthusiastic?"

Hikari stroked his chin, watching Regard leave, somewhat puzzled.

"Indeed...it might be because...he regrets not being able to personally end Dark Lugiel?"

Upon hearing this, the other Ultra Warriors looked at Hikari with some embarrassment.

The way you're saying that makes Regard seem like a battle maniac...

Father of Ultra shook his head and said to Hikari and the others.

"Alright, stop speculating about others behind their backs. Regard's strength is undeniable. His bad mood might be due to other reasons. Let's get back to our posts."

With the Captain of Ultra Father speaking, the other Ultra Warriors temporarily set aside their doubts and continued with their work.

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

A strange power suddenly surged into his body, and Dark Lugiel, whose consciousness was in a state of chaos, gradually cleared his mind and opened his eyes.

There is no gravity here.

This was the first thought in Dark Lugiel's mind. He looked around and found himself floating in the air. His translucent body and the monster souls drifting nearby had already given him the answer.

...He had died and arrived at the Monster Graveyard. He was supposed to drift aimlessly there forever, but someone woke him from his slumber.

Dark Lugiel's crimson soul floated in the air. As if sensing something, he turned to look behind him.

A figure draped in black robes sat on a protruding rock behind Lugiel. In the dim light of Monster Ranch, Lugiel could not make out the figure's face.

Although this scene would probably fit right into a horror movie, Lugiel showed no fear and slowly flew over.

In front of the figure, a tray floated in the air with two cups on it. The mysterious person was holding one of the cups and pouring the sweet-smelling liquid inside into their mouth.

He remained unmoved by the arrival of Dark Lugiel, seemingly unsurprised.

"As expected of you."

Dark Lugiel spoke first, his originally enormous soul gradually shrinking as he moved forward, until it became no different in size from the mysterious man.

He skillfully sat down opposite the tray, and in his soul form, Dark Lugiel looked at the drink in front of him, seemingly wanting to reach out and pick it up.

"Take it. This drink was brewed with soul energy, so you can drink it even in your soul form."

The mysterious man spoke slowly. Seeing this, Dark Lugiel no longer hesitated, picked up the drink with his right hand, and brought it to his lips.

As the beverage flowed into Dark Lugiel's mouth, savoring its sweet aroma, he remarked with a sigh.

"Whether in the past, the future, or the present, Senior Regard seems to have never changed. I am not surprised at all that you are here to see me off on my final journey."

A gentle breeze blew by, knocking off the hood of the mysterious man's head and revealing a handsome face—it was Bai Yue.

He placed the empty cup back on the tray, and the moment it was back on the tray, the liquid inside the cup miraculously reappeared, and soon the cup was filled with the drink again.

"Is there anything strange about it? When a person dies, the debt is settled. After all, you've always called me senior. In a sense, I bear some responsibility for you ending up like this. It's not surprising that you'd like to visit your junior."

There was no tension, no talk of fighting; the two maintained a peaceful atmosphere in perfect harmony.

Bai Yue spoke slowly.

What do you think of what that robot girl said to you?

Dark Lugiel put down the cup.

"In a sense, I saw the shadows of you and the Milky Way in that mechanical life form that had just developed emotions."

He sighed.

"It's unbelievable that I could hear your admonitions to me from back then in a robot made by an idiot. For a moment, I even wondered if it was you from the future who had descended into this mechanical life form."

"Unfortunately, it's not."

Bai Yue spoke, his tone carrying a hint of appreciation.

"This is precisely what Yinhe and I are trying to protect: even on the most desolate land, flowers can bloom that would impress even a dark demon like you."

"What Yinhe and I firmly believe in is this possibility from the infinite future of life."

Hearing Bai Yue's words, Dark Lugiel said wistfully.

"Yes... Even though I was once so determined to stop all life in happiness, I have to admit that it is the infinite possibilities of life itself that make an ordinary robot so dazzling."

Bai Yue took another sip of her drink and spoke.

"Life itself will find a way, it will explore the road ahead at all costs, but Lugiel, your actions are to block all the roads of life, and you are dying because of this."

Dark Lugiel fell silent. This time, he wasn't angry; instead, he seriously considered what White Moon had said.

Looking at Dark Lugiel, Baiyue said jokingly.

"So, are you going to admit defeat to the Milky Way?"
