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

Gedi's figure turned into specks of light and disappeared, transforming back into a small dog that landed in Regard's palm.

Despite dodging the attack, Gatanothor was in poor condition; the quantum decomposer was too powerful and had already caused significant damage to his body.

Moreover, the previous energy clash was real, and he no longer had the strength to attack the opponent.

It roared, but the roar sounded weak and feeble. Then it suddenly charged toward the rising R'lyeh.

Regard had been fighting for a long time and was now on the verge of disintegration. The intense fatigue had left his mind in a state of chaos, and he could only remember one thing.

We absolutely cannot let Gatanothor get away!!

He mustered his strength and charged toward Gatanothor. EyeQ and Bruton had already been retrieved from their combat devices, and before leaving, he also sent Gedi back to the Atdis.

Goldras, relying on his powerful physique, barely managed to hold on as he, Tiga, and Reigat charged toward the ruins of R'lyeh. His two horns were always ready to activate their shields to prevent Gatanothor from suddenly turning around and launching a sneak attack.

Countless tentacles wriggled beneath Gatanothor, helping it quickly crawl into the ruins.

Upon noticing Ultraman chasing from behind, his densely packed heads attempted to unleash light projectiles, but they failed after flashing a few times with purple light.

Gatanothor looked ahead expectantly and finally found the stone wall. With a strike of its tentacle, it shattered the wall, revealing what lay behind it.

Tiga and Regard also saw it; it was the ruins hidden inside R'lyeh. However, unlike ordinary ruins, it was filled with countless giant stone statues.

Unlike Ultraman Tiga's statues, these statues are all damaged, with many missing arms or legs, and some even only having half a head left.

Gatanothor seemed to have found a savior. After rushing into the center of the ruins, countless tentacles stretched out and wrapped around every stone statue.

Tiga and Reigat simultaneously fired their hand-held lightsabers, but despite losing its outer shell and the protection of dark energy, Gatanothor's physical body remained incredibly tough.

The two hand-held lightsabers only left two black marks on his back, barely breaking through his defenses.

Gatanothor let out a triumphant cry, and black mist once again swirled within the ruins.

The stone statue, entangled by tentacles, continuously emitted a dark purple light, which turned into black mist and flowed into Gatanothor's body.

During this process, Tiga and Reiga experienced a sudden blur before their eyes, as if they had arrived at an ancient battlefield.

The agonizing cries of countless giants slaughtering each other echoed in their minds; anger, pain, resentment, and despair swirled in their hearts.

They seemed to have entered the perspective of each giant; one second they were killing another giant, the next a lightsaber pierced their chest. The immense pain made it hard for them to breathe.

Ultimately, all this darkness flowed into Gatanothor's body, and its body rose into the sky once more, breaking through the ruins above, and boundless darkness once again enveloped the sky.

Gatanothor's body grew to an enormous size, shrouded in thick black clouds. Its mouth was slightly open, filled with sharp teeth wreathed in tentacles. Its body became pitted and scarred, covered with countless tentacles.

Regard finally understood what it was trying to do. It had known all along that the war of giants had left behind countless resentments and darkness in the ruins, and it was using this to return to its peak state.

No, perhaps it has already surpassed its peak, Regard murmured, reciting its name.

"Dark Super Monster, Dimojah..."

Chapter 93 Despair

The people in the shelter were plunged into deep despair.

Even though they couldn't fight, they could tell how badly the two giants were in condition.

A middle-aged man angrily pounded the ground.

"Damn it! It was so close!! So close!!!"

What was even more despairing than the initial despair was that, having clearly seen the dawn of victory, one could only watch it slip away before their very eyes.

Amidst the dramatic ups and downs, some people have even begun to suffer mental breakdowns, running around aimlessly and uttering incomprehensible screams.

The TPC personnel watching the video were stunned, but instinctively tried to dissuade them. Their voices, however, sounded so powerless.

Zhi Shu bit her lower lip tightly, praying for a miracle to happen.

On the Atdis, Gedi kept barking at the screen, while the Victory Team members, relying on their good mental fortitude, temporarily calmed down and also kept their eyes glued to the big screen.

A resolute glint appeared in Director Sawai's eyes; he understood that humanity had truly been forced to its final moment.

He called over a staff member, whispered a few instructions, and then looked back at the big screen.

Dimojah roared, as if he wanted to vent all the anger he had suffered earlier.

A dense mass of dark purple light arrows condensed in his mouth and shot towards the two Ultramen below.

The two Ultramen, who had just been corrupted by the resentment of the ancient giant, were so weak in the knees that they could only kneel on the ground and watch helplessly as the light arrow shot towards them.

Just at this critical moment, Goldras arrived late. It roared and stood in front of the two Ultramen, its two horns emitting a dazzling golden light.

A massive golden protective shield appeared on its body, and the next moment, a blackish-purple light arrow slammed into it.

The first light arrow that made contact was violently deflected. However, as the attacks came one after another, the light on the shield became dimmer and dimmer. In just two seconds, cracks appeared and it began to crumble.

Regard reacted quickly, pushing Tiga away with his left hand and retracting Goldras with his Regard Armor in his right hand, then using the force to dodge the attack.

As Goldras disappeared, the light shield lost its support, and the dark purple light arrows struck the spot where the two giants had been, creating a giant lava hole in the ground.

Regard looked at Tiga beside him and forced a smile.

"It seems... we really have to go all out, Daigo..."

"I apologize," Tiga said.

"I'm sorry, you weren't originally from this time and space, but now you have to suffer all this with me..."

Regard laughed heartily.

"Isn't it too late to say all this now? I've said it so many times already, the meaning of my power is to not turn a blind eye to what's happening in front of me, and to respond to whatever I can, no matter when or where!!"

The two men's chests were burning with intense red light, as if they were about to form a red line. They struggled to their feet and made opposite gestures.

Zeperion Ray!

Resusster Ray!

Two white beams of light shot towards Dimogeor. In response to their attack, Dimogeor unleashed another black-purple light arrow, which collided violently with the beams.

After a mere second of stalemate, the dark purple light arrow propelled the silver-white light stream toward the two Ultramen. Despite their best efforts, the two were unable to stem the tide of their defeat.

As the beam of light washed over Ultraman's body, the two of them maintained their posture of firing beams, the lights on their chests and their milky white eyes dimmed, gradually covered by a layer of stone membrane.

Before long, the dark purple arrow of light dissipated, and the two stone statues stood still in the same position, maintaining the posture of firing the beam, as if they were about to fight Gatanothor again.

Gatanothor in the sky cried out triumphantly, for he had finally, finally defeated the two beams of light that had posed a threat to him.

The last hope of the Victory Team was shattered, and they all slumped helplessly into their seats. Lina cried out weakly.

"Dagu!!!"

Megumi Kijima shook her head frantically.

"We won't lose! Ultraman...we won't lose!"

Ji Gang's folding fan was already deformed from being squeezed. He gritted his teeth and stared resentfully at Dimogia on the screen.

Gedi seemed to have been slashed; it barked wildly, but its voice carried an underlying sadness.

Zongfang looked around. He wasn't going to give up and wanted to discuss countermeasures with Director Sawai again, but he was taken aback.

"Where is Director Sawai?"

Those around him heard his words, looked around, and found that the director was no longer there.

Just as everyone was puzzled, the screen suddenly switched to the office on the Atdis, where Director Sawai was seen.

This signal was transmitted to the whole world; in other words, people all over the world could see his speech.

"Hello, people of Earth. I am Sawai Soichiro, and I currently serve as the director of TPC."

At this moment, his reputation for world peace played a significant role, and people temporarily quieted down, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Director Sawai continued.

"I understand that humanity is in a difficult situation right now. I don't want to say anything empty or pretentious. I'm just doing this on someone's behalf, hoping to bring humanity a glimmer of hope when needed."

He looked down and did something, then the screen suddenly changed, revealing the figure of a young man.

In a living room, a young man in a blue coat was smiling at them.

"Now that the video on this floppy disk has been released, they must be at their most desperate moment."

While everyone was still wondering who the person on the screen was, the editor from Kadokawa Shoten suddenly looked surprised and pointed at the person on the screen, speechless.

The young man inside continued.

"Hello, my name is Bai Yue, and I am the author of 'The Dark King of the Ancient Times' and 'The Giant Who Revived from Ancient Times.' I am also the Ultraman Regard that you are familiar with."

The crowd whispered among themselves in surprise. These two books and Reggart's famous name were widely known throughout the world. However, before they could even have any doubts, the person on the screen suddenly pulled out a white stick.

As the wings at the top unfolded, Regard appeared in the video.

Before anyone could react with surprise, he continued.

"I imagine you must be feeling utterly hopeless right now. A powerful ancient civilization, teeming with countless giants, was destroyed by Gatanothor's power. So, what chance do humans have now?"

This question struck a nerve, and everyone fell silent.

Regard said firmly.

"But I believe that there is still hope for humanity! This is not an unreasonable compulsion, but a miracle of humanity that I have witnessed countless times during my long journey."

Please feed me (acting cute)

Chapter 94 Hope

As Regard spoke, some people's eyes remained lifeless, but most people's eyes began to light up.

Regard extended his palm and said firmly.

"It is because he believes in the future of humanity that Ultraman chooses to protect humanity. However, Ultraman is not a god and there are things he cannot do. When darkness invades, Ultraman is not invincible."

"Therefore, when Ultraman fails, he needs the help of humans. Just like with the Kirieloids, humans can also give Ultraman power!"

"My friends, when you encounter difficulties, don't forget to give your heart to hope! Ultraman has never simply protected humanity; he fights alongside humanity!"

The video ends here, leaving only Regard still holding the pose of extending his palm forward.

A light appeared in people's eyes, and they couldn't help but press their palms together. At that moment, the hands of humans and Ultraman were clasped together through the screen.
