Great, we're doomed now!

Dark Tiga did not answer, but silently looked at Bayeri (Ye Shou) who was fighting in the distance. When he turned back, although his face did not show much change in expression, Camilla, as a member of the group of four, sensed that he had made a decision.

"How ironic... You've already given up, and now you're going to regret it?" Camilla felt a surge of anger, but she held back and didn't explode, instead mocking him rudely.

His words also carried a sense of anger at their lack of ambition.

Unlike Darram, who is a straightforward and impulsive man, Tiga is the most taciturn of the four. It is difficult for outsiders to understand his thoughts. Even Camilla, who is the most intelligent and strategic, does not really understand him.

But one fact reflects Ultraman Tiga's true attitude:

He was once the strongest of the Four Heroes, but now he can't defeat Camilla.

The reason is simple: the Dark Giants, including Camilla, have come to recognize the ugliness and weakness of humanity and feel contempt and disdain for them from the bottom of their hearts, and have completely abandoned the idea of ​​"treating humans as equals".

Perhaps it was humanity's faith that initially led them to fall into darkness, and Camilla initially forgave humanity.

But now, she undoubtedly truly loathes humans!

With this mindset, Camilla embraces hatred, Darramb is violence, and Hitler is cruelty—all three giants can freely wield the power of darkness.

Because of their environment, they are actually stronger than before they fell into depravity!

Ultraman Tiga is the only exception!

This taciturn fellow was almost unaffected by negative emotions, using only pure dark elements. Moreover, because he still yearned for light and did not accept the essence of darkness, he was unable to unleash his full potential.

Camilla and the others knew that Tiga was somewhat special, and as his life-and-death partners who had fought side by side for so long, they didn't pay too much attention to it.

But now that Tiga is standing in front of Camilla, she realizes that she was careless and didn't expect the other party to be so "stupid".

"Didn't we already agree that as long as we use that tower to absorb the deepest darkness, we can become the rulers of this world... You clearly agreed before, so why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"..."

Tiga clenched his fists, clearly going through a fierce internal struggle—his bond with the trio was the strongest connection he had in the world.

However, he ultimately could not agree with Camilla's approach...

She is the one who has infiltrated the darkest part of the group of four, and has mastered a lot of forbidden knowledge. Although she herself is unaware of it, her mental state is already very unstable.

To protect herself and her people, and also out of her loathing for humanity, Camilla devised an extremely daring plan:

They actively absorbed the dark source, becoming the rulers of this planet, the solar system, and even a wider star field!

Because Gatanothor is not the "darkness of the universe" itself, but rather something like an incarnation and a proxy. In fact, on a cosmic scale, there is probably more than one such monster.

Camilla believes that with the potential of the four of them, once they accept the dark source, they can definitely compete with it!

Especially Tiga, whose talent surpasses that of the three, Camilla could sense his special willpower, so she firmly believed that the plan could succeed.

In the past, Ultraman Tiga had always remained neutral, neither participating nor opposing, giving off an air of utter despair and indifference, as if saying, "Do whatever you want with me."

Camilla was genuinely surprised that he would stand against his companions for the sake of outsiders!

"Not going to talk... I won't hold back, Tiga."

Darkness coalesced in the woman's hand, interspersed with a sliver of golden light, manifesting as a crystal rod with golden wings unfurled at its tip—

A pale lightning flashed, and Camilla transformed on the spot, appearing as an Ultraman with a golden face, red eyes, and a bewitching and beautiful figure.

Both were adults, yet their auras were extraordinary; the air seemed to freeze the moment they locked eyes.

Buzz~?

A golden stream of light descended from Camilla's hand, and with a flick of her wrist, it transformed into a rapier.

A crystal rod also appeared in Dark Tiga's hand. With a slight exertion, a black light blade emerged from his unfolded wings.

—The two were clearly going to use their swordsmanship to determine who was better.

"You, who had given up, have regained your faith... I see. Even if only one human is left still fighting, you will step forward... Just the opposite of me!"

Camilla, who could no longer trust humans, remained silent for a moment before raising her head again, having made up her mind.

"Traitor... Do you really like humans that much, Ultraman Tiga?!"

Chapter 238 Giant of Light - The Original!

Ye Shou's fingertips flew across the control panel, and the joints of [Bayeli] emitted a high-pitched energy hum. The thrusters on the back of the machine were fully engaged, drawing a sharp silver trail through the narrow ruins and instantly putting distance between himself and the enraged Zoga.

Black blood gushed from the severed finger of the Zoga, and the excruciating pain completely unleashed its ferocity.

With its wings flapping wildly and its jaws wide open, a barrage of dark energy projectiles poured out like a machine gun, blocking all of Bayeri's evasive angles.

"too slow!"

The energy blast, which should have traveled at several times the speed of sound, appeared incredibly slow to Ye Shou, whose trajectory he could clearly see.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Bayeri suddenly turned to the side, his machine narrowly missing the gap between the two energy blasts. At the same time, he swung his golden longsword backhand, the blade precisely slicing through the third energy blast, triggering a small explosion that affected the golden glow on his body. The shockwave made the paint on his machine flicker.

Having missed his first attack, Zoga had already taken to the sky and swooped down, his claws bringing a stench as he attacked once more.

Having almost mastered the machine's performance, Ye Shou was fearless. Instead of retreating, Baye charged forward, suddenly lowering his shoulder and making a move that only a martial arts master could make, barely grazing the claw tip. At the same time, the golden longsword tore a long gash in Zoga's tough wing membrane.

"Wow—!"

Zoga cried out in pain, his massive body losing its balance and tumbling through the air.

Ye Shou braced himself on the ground, Bayeli flipped over, his thrusters suddenly increased in power, he quickly adjusted his posture, and then burst out a second time, instantly catching up to Zoga behind him, his longsword stabbing straight at the relatively vulnerable joint of his spine.

Just as the sword tip was about to strike, Zoga suddenly folded his wings, landed and rolled forward, tearing a huge wound on his back, but narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

Before it even got up, it didn't stop. Its powerful hind legs pushed off the ground, kicking up a large amount of gravel, and it pounced on Bayeli again, as if it wanted to rely on its size advantage to fight Gundam hand-to-hand.

Ye Shou retreated, his tail blade slicing through the air, adding several more wounds to Zoga, enraging the demon bird even more.

In an instant, two enormous figures, one gold and one black, collided and separated at high speed amidst the ruins.

The golden longsword clashed repeatedly with the claws and beak, emitting a series of blinding sparks and deafening explosions. Thanks to its exceptional mobility, Bayeri always managed to dodge the heavy blows at the last second and counterattack from even more difficult angles.

After several rounds, Zoga's massive body was covered in wounds, and black blood stained the ruins beneath its feet. A hint of fear finally flashed in its crimson eyes, realizing that this steel giant was far beyond its ability to contend with.

"Want to escape?"

Ye Shou sensed Zoga's intention. The demonic bird suddenly changed direction, flapping its wings desperately, dragging its heavily injured body and torn skin, and flew crookedly towards the top of the crystal tower that exuded an ominous aura.

Perhaps she wanted to escape from the top of the pyramid?

"Don't think about it!"

Ye Shou naturally wouldn't let the tiger return to the mountain. All the thrusters behind Bayeri simultaneously burst into dazzling blue flames, and the machine shot into the sky like an arrow. In just a few hundred meters, it caught up with Zoga in two breaths.

The golden sword was gripped tightly in both hands, its tip pointing directly at Zoga's vest!

"it's over!"

As Ye Shou uttered his cold whisper, the golden light on Bayeli's body receded, revealing a silver base coat, and he poured all the ripple energy in his body into this stab.

puff!

The longsword pierced through Zoga's body without any resistance, its blood-stained tip protruding from his chest.

The demonic bird let out a short, piercing cry, its struggling movements instantly freezing—

However, at that very moment, a sudden change occurred!

Zorga's pierced body did not fall; instead, it seemed to be held up by some invisible force and suspended in mid-air.

Ye Shou felt a chill run down his spine, but he couldn't get off Zoga's corpse.

In that brief moment of delay, the dark tower standing at the top of the pyramid seemed to be a giant beast awakened. The tower shook violently, and a tidal wave of substance surged within the crystal. An indescribable, boundless dark energy erupted!

This force was not a scattered impact, but rather, as if it possessed a life of its own, it transformed into massive and indistinct black torrents that completely enveloped the surrounding space.

Several ropes... or perhaps tentacles, instantly wrapped around Bayeli's limbs and torso, firmly imprisoning him in mid-air!

The golden ripple energy clashed fiercely with the dark power, exploding into countless tiny arcs of electricity on the surface of the machine, emitting a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.

Zoga's body was as if it had been soaked in sulfuric acid, rapidly dissolving under the scouring of energy, first the flesh and then the bones, quickly merging into the darkness of the main story, as if it had never existed.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Shou's pupils constricted sharply. While he was horrified, he unexpectedly felt no fear deep down. Instead, he felt a faint sense of excitement.

Just as a person seeing livestock being roasted in a fire would not feel pity, but would instead feel a surge of appetite.

Ye Shou shook his head violently, snapping out of his daze.

The surrounding light began to distort and dim, and the space itself trembled, like fragile glass.

At the very top of the tower, in the deepest darkness, a rift resembling a vertical pupil slowly opened, as if the shadows and flames of stars were intertwined.

A vague, distorted outline, beyond the comprehension of common sense, appears and disappears within it.

At the same time, a deep, chaotic, ancient voice, seemingly composed of countless resentments and whispers, pierced through Bayeli's armor and resounded deep within Ye Shou's mind:

"Submission..."

"Embrace...the darkness..."

"Dedicate...your soul..."

"Essence...acceptance..."

The voice carried an extremely terrifying corrosive power, like a cold, venomous snake probing into Ye Shou's mind, attempting to dismantle his will and distort his perception.

The silver-white paint on the surface of Bayeri's body began to be stained with an ominous black at a visible speed, and the energy glow at the nodes also became dim and unclear.

Ye Shou's proud Immortal Flow Ripples seemed insignificant in the face of this profound unknown!

An immense pressure pressed in from all directions, not only on his body but also on Ye Shou's spirit, as if they were about to be swallowed and assimilated by this endless darkness. Even someone as resilient as him couldn't help but fall into a daze...

Looking around, the futuristic cockpit had vanished. He was walking on an infinite plane composed of countless streams of fire and shadows. At the edge of his vision, a massive dark fireball distorted space, causing it to glide past the edge like flowing water, while the fireball itself remained an unchanging entity.

With just one glance, Ye Shou felt immense regret and pain, as if all the emotions accumulated in his life had erupted at that moment. His soul was eager to break free of this body and plunge into darkness to obtain eternal happiness.

Ye Shou stood on that eerie plane flowing with shadows and flames, the sensation beneath his feet both ethereal and heavy.

Just as he was in a daze, almost kneeling before the enormous dark fireball in the distance—

"Puff puff!"

Pale, festering human hands suddenly emerged from the dark surface beneath his feet, gripping his legs and waist tightly.

He looked down and saw those hands, cold yet powerful, with blood and bits of flesh still under their fingernails.

Then, one by one, the faces he had slain in battle slowly emerged from the darkness.

They were mangled beyond recognition; some had only half a face remaining, others had their chests ruptured and internal organs exposed, yet they all stared at him with empty eyes, uttering hoarse, overlapping questions:

"Why did you kill me..."
