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

"Don't joke around here! How could you powerful people understand the fear humans have when facing alien beasts! I... I don't want to die! And I absolutely will not die!!"

Regard's idle chatter with him was not out of kindness, but rather a test of Zagi and Lugiel.

If Zagi or Dark Lugiel really dare to come to Dark Mephisto's rescue, I might be able to take a big bite out of him.

Given their abilities, it would be absolutely impossible for them to rescue someone right under their noses without revealing their whereabouts using only the methods from the original story; they would definitely need to come up with new methods.

After all, the chemical reaction that might occur when two dark bosses unite is immeasurable.

Even if Mephistopheles is indeed rescued, Regard can use this opportunity to get a glimpse of their new methods, since intelligence is crucial in battle.

He pointed at Mephistopheles and shouted angrily.

"You think you can decide whether a mere pawn lives or dies? You've harmed so many innocent lives, do you really think you won't die yourself?"

Dark Mephistopheles grew increasingly agitated, while Regard remained oblivious to the anomaly around him.

In that case...

Regard raised the Ultimate Fighting Device, its cannon pointing at Dark Mephisto.

"You're no longer of any use, die!!"

A dazzling silver light bullet hurtled towards Dark Mephisto, just as despair began to rise in his heart...

A dark purple short sword suddenly appeared, covered in a large amount of black mist, which blocked the light bullet.

"They've finally arrived!!"

Regard reacted quickly, transforming into a silver phantom and rushing towards the source of the disturbance in the space.

However, the enemy moved faster. Two tentacles suddenly burst out from the space behind Mephisto, dragging him into another phase.

Just as Regard was about to give chase, the dark purple short sword deflected the light bullet and instantly self-destructed.

A surge of spatial energy disrupted the surrounding spacetime, instantly throwing spatial coordinates into chaos.

The king's cloak behind Regard shone brightly, and Regard rushed in following the last spatial coordinates.

Emerging from the spatial passage, Regard gazed thoughtfully at the strange, eerie green scenery around him.

"This place is... Grugram's phase space?"

The lingering darkness in the surroundings was enough to indicate that the other party had already fled.

Despite failing to capture them, Reggart wasn't too discouraged.

After all, these events reveal a message, a crucial message.

The enemy seems to have developed powerful spatial abilities, enabling them to traverse space within seconds.

This information was far more important to Regard than to Dark Mephisto.

If the opponent abandons Mephistopheles and instead chooses to use this tactic as a trump card to launch a surprise attack at a crucial moment, the damage it causes will be far greater than anything Mephistopheles could do.

This also explains something: Dark Zagi seems to want to make more of a deal with Gou Lumu by going so far as to expose his teleportation ability to save Mephisto.

Regard pulled the fighting device out of the ground and left, seemingly having failed.

Meanwhile, underground, a root system began to quietly sprout.

Chapter 146 Puppet

Mephisto deactivated his transformation, and Mizoroki collapsed weakly to the ground, clutching his right abdomen.

"What kind of weapon is that... that it could hurt me so much..."

However, now was not the time to focus on his injuries. Gou Lümu looked at the surrounding lush green environment.

"This is... Grugram's phase space... How could this be? I clearly didn't give any commands, so why did it save me?"

In this quiet space, applause suddenly broke out.

"It was indeed Gruglem who saved you, but it was I who gave the order..."

Gou Lümu struggled to his feet and stared in shock at the person who emerged from behind the boulder.

"You are... Mitsuhiko Ishihori?!"

Mitsuhiko Ishiguro stopped clapping, a chilling smile on his face.

"It's been a long time, Vice Captain..."

Gou Lümu looked at him in disbelief.

"Impossible... How could you possibly have the ability to command Grugram?"

Mitsuhiko Ishiguro nodded, looking troubled.

"How should I put it? Vice Captain... shouldn't you thank your savior before asking someone a question?"

Behind a mountain, a giant beast revealed its form.

The tentacles extending from the thick, sharp claws were instantly recognizable to Goroki as the very tentacles that had rescued him.

Mitsuhiko Ishihori shouted with a loud laugh.

"Let me introduce you to the evolved version of Grugram."

"Grugram Seth!"

Gou Lümu chewed on the name.

"Traversing...?"

Mitsuhiko Ishiguro nodded in satisfaction.

"Talking to smart people is just different. This is the new version of Grugram who has given up other abilities and focuses on teleportation!"

"Even that spherical monster can't compare to it in terms of movement!"

Goroki shook his head, trembling, as he recalled the dark purple short sword that had blocked the attack.

"Impossible... That's Mephisto's ability, how could you possibly fuse with a monster?"

Mitsuhiko Ishiguro chuckled coldly.

"You don't need to know, chess piece!"

A surge of dark energy erupted from his palm, hurtling towards Gou Lümu.

At this critical moment, Gou Lümu stood there dumbfounded.

"piece……"

He recalled what Reggart had said.

"It's not up to you to decide whether a mere pawn lives or dies."

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

"So... I was never the one in control, I was just a pawn...?"

A large amount of dark energy poured in, and Goroki's consciousness instantly went offline. Before he completely fell silent, he recalled that person.

"Nagi...I...want to live..."

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

Regard and Nexus deactivated their transformations, and everyone returned to the real world.

Komon Kazuki looked at Himeya Jun, then solemnly bowed and spoke.

"Thank you, if you hadn't saved my life that time..."

Himeya Jun naturally remembered the young man who had looked at him, and he spoke.

"My name is Jun Himeya. You must be a member of that team."

Riko Saida was still completely bewildered at that moment.

She inexplicably invited her boyfriend out, and inexplicably encountered a monster.

He was inexplicably pulled into a space by a mysterious giant, and then inexplicably someone purified something on him.

However, the feeling of being on the brink of death left her with lingering fear, and she bent down towards Bai Yue.

"Although I don't know what happened, thank you for saving me..."

Bai Yue simply looked at her and sighed softly. Previously, she had been shielded by dark energy, and now she was in a daze, so she hadn't yet sensed anything was wrong.

But... I'm afraid she'll soon remember... what happened that night.

Pulling Komon Kazuki aside, Shirazuki briefly explained Riko's situation to him, and Komon Kazuki exclaimed in shock.

"Riko's family is all dead..."

Bai Yue patted his shoulder and winked.

"Now is the time for you to step up as the boyfriend and take responsibility. Don't hurt this young lady's feelings..."

With a shy expression, they exchanged contact information, and then Baiyue and Jiyajun disappeared from their sight.

A short while later, the Memory Police rushed into the scene and began questioning Komon Kazuki without saying a word.

He quickly revealed his identity as a member of the Night Raid Team and contacted the captain to explain the situation.

On the other side, Captain Hecang was completely bewildered by one bombshell after another.

Goroki is back? And he's turned into a dark giant? He even turned Komon's girlfriend into a dark giant? That mysterious person is also a giant? And the silver giant's identity has been exposed too?

He rubbed his trigeminal nerve, beginning to wonder if he was dreaming.

Just as he was calming down, Kira Sawa appeared beside him and gave him instructions.

“Bring them both back and have Riko Saito tested.”

He called the team members to the command room, and after hesitating for a moment, Captain Cang finally told them about Gou Lümu.

"That bastard became a Dark Giant? And can control alien beasts? Looks like he's fallen and become an alien beast too!"

Saijo Nagi said with a cold smile, her eyes burning with hatred.

However, she quickly calmed down and quietly waited for the memory police to bring the two of them back.
