Great, we're doomed now!

Swish!

After several battles, almost all of Yanagaki's giant claw spikes broke, and the mad dog-like monster finally felt a sense of fear.

As Ye Shou leaned closer, the face on his forehead released another burst of energy—

huh~

Ye Shou slightly tilted his head to dodge it, and then his gaze became even colder.

Seeing the pair of swords coming at him from Yanagaki, Ye Shou suddenly exerted force, and the rippling waves instantly condensed into even more conspicuous light serrations on the sword, which spun rapidly along the entire blade amidst a high-frequency sharp sound.

The moment the blade of light touched the forelimb, it sliced ​​open a huge gash, blood gushing out wildly, and the flesh and bones were separated without any doubt in one go, and the two giant claws fell to the ground on the spot!

"Roar!!!"

—【Eight-Point Chainsaw Sword】!

This is an application technique that Ye Shou learned from an ancient warrior, and then added some of his own understanding. As expected, its power is astonishing!

"Awoooooo~~~"

The Yanagaki suffered a severe injury from a broken claw, and the intense pain completely overwhelmed its ferocity... It seems that no matter how powerful and insane a creature is, it is ultimately capable of feeling pain.

It let out a series of mournful howls, its massive body struggling to turn, wanting only to escape this terrible opponent and this blood-stained lake as soon as possible.

"Trying to escape?" Ye Shou sneered, flicking his wrist as the Golden Holy Sword vanished in a stream of light.

In his eyes, monsters are incapable of feeling pain; this is just a tactic used by the enemy to feign pitifulness!

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, then suddenly swung them open, channeling all the boiling light energy in his body into the Aja Redstone Timer on his chest.

Buzz~~~!

The timer burst forth with a brilliance far exceeding that of ordinary light. The energy was compressed to the extreme, and a slender beam of light, condensed to the extreme and as white as the rising sun, pierced the night like a thunderclap!

"Sublimation - Timer Flash!"

The blazing white beam struck its back with unstoppable force, and Yanagaki froze instantly. Then, its body seemed to be filled by an invisible force, and blinding white light burst out from the gaps in its armor and from its mouth and nose.

boom--!!!

A deafening explosion echoed through the night sky. The monster's massive body shattered into countless burning fragments amidst the light and heat, falling like a magnificent rain of flames into the churning lake.

"..." The First Generation watched the whole thing in silence, his face seemingly calm, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil.

Wow! This young man!

No, this one doesn't seem that "young" either. If I remember correctly, this face should belong to the one from the legends of this universe...

By the way, what was I summoned for?

-

At the same time as the Yanagaki explosion, a faint dark figure silently slipped into the lake, taking advantage of the chaotic vapors and turbulent light and shadows created by the explosion, and then disappeared into the mountains and forests on the shore.

"Ugh, cough... This is a huge loss... Not only did we fail to bring back the time machine, but we also failed to bring back the monster... Ugh!"

In his demon form, Chariga fled like a frightened mouse through the cave tunnels.

The light of the exit was right ahead. A surge of joy, a feeling of relief at surviving a catastrophe, welled up in Charika's heart. As long as he escaped and found a place to heal his wounds, he could still return to the universe, as long as his cell phone (a low-powered time machine) was fully charged...

He rushed toward the moonlight with all his might... However, in the halo of light at the cave entrance, a figure suddenly stepped out and blocked his way.

The man wore a suit of cold, hard-lined, menacing power armor that gleamed with a ghostly light, as silent as a dark sculpture blending into the shadows.

—If Charika were cultured enough, he would have discovered that this power armor was not merely a creation of modern humans, but also bore traces of ancient technology, clearly indicating that it had been modified and upgraded.

Charika didn't have time to observe in such detail; all he knew was that the gaze emanating from the visor on the other's faceplate was harder than the already cooled star core.

"It's you!" he screamed, his voice distorted with fear.

He didn't recognize the armor, but he was certain it was another form of that giant!

Driven by the will to survive, Charika screamed and raised his hand, unleashing a faint ray of destruction at Ye Shou—without his wand, this was his last stand.

"You've already transformed; now you're just a human!"

"Oh?"

Ye Shou didn't even use his weapons.

Wearing power armor, he moved with ghostly speed, easily dodging the beams and taking a single step to stand in front of Chariga.

boom--

A simple, heavy blow landed on the demon's abdomen, causing his body to arch and his feet to float in the air.

Before Charika could fall, Ye Shou grabbed his arm and threw him over his shoulder!

boom!

Charika was slammed hard onto the solid ground, his entire skeleton felt like it was about to fall apart, and the remaining energy was running rampant in his body, leaving him with no strength left.

He collapsed to the ground, only able to watch in horror as the dark warrior looked down at him from above. For the first time, the monster merchant felt like a mortal being watched by a "monster."

...So this is how those weaker races who scattered and fled at the foot of Yanagaki felt~

"You...you won...but you got nothing!"

Guessing that Ye Shou wanted to capture him, Chalija laughed arrogantly and raised his hand to grab his own face—

Ka!

The next second, the demon not only failed to commit suicide, but his arm was also broken at a very strange angle, causing him to let out a shrill scream like a pig being slaughtered.

At that moment, a soft, pure white light shone from the other side of the cave, precisely enveloping Charika.

The demon's body suddenly froze in the light, its skin turning dark gray, as if it had become a character in an old photograph, completely still.

"Capture successful... Thank you."

Ye Shou deactivated his power armor, revealing a handsome face brimming with heroic spirit, and smiled as he looked at the First Generation.

Ultraman also stopped his pose, nodded at him with a smile on his lips.

"Finally, I meet you, Ultraman."

Ye Shou took a deep breath: "I have many things I want to ask you."

"I understand, I will try my best to answer your questions..."

The first generation nodded, and under Ye Shou's surprised gaze, he said:

"Because I know you—Ultraman Bayeri."

Chapter 254: Which cosmic overlord is this? (4K)

“I am ‘Man’, you can call me ‘Ultraman’. I come from the Land of Light in the Orion M78 Nebula of another universe.”

When Eiji Tsuburaya and Tetsuo Kinjo rushed to the shore of Lake Ryusei, the original Ultraman, who was still in his normal human form, was talking to a young man. Upon seeing his old friend whom he had met once before, the original Ultraman nodded slightly, and a hint of a smile could be seen on his face, which made Tsuburaya feel very gratified.

The two humans waited silently to the side without disturbing the conversation, but they also listened attentively to the sounds coming from the universe.

"Another universe?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shou couldn't help but feel disappointed: "So, you really did travel through time to get here?"

Ultraman nodded: "Once, in a great war involving several star systems and more than a dozen civilizations, the warriors of the Land of Light successfully repelled the enemy, while I accidentally entered a black hole during the pursuit, and together with some enemies, we accidentally crossed the barrier of parallel universes and came to this independent spacetime."

"That makes sense... Have you ever returned to the Land of Light?"

“Of course, time travel is possible as long as certain conditions are met,” Ultraman pointed, “but it requires the use of the ‘Ultra Star’.”

"The Ultra Star, this?" Jin Cheng held the red gem in his hand, examining it in disbelief. He never imagined that such a small thing could travel through the universe.

"The inhabitants of the Land of Light were once very similar to humans, but they evolved into life forms of light in an accident, and thus also possess some incredible abilities."

The first generation explained: "One of our scientists felt deeply that the universe was too vast to detect the rise of darkness in time, so he invented the 'Ultra Star' based on our race's constitution. As long as you entrust your spiritual light into it, you can set up a beacon in the bubble universe."

Under specific conditions, the corresponding Ultraman can travel through a quantum tunnel in the form of light particles to reach a designated location. However, to jump between different time and space, an extremely strong mental resonance is required!

Upon hearing this, Kinjo Tetsuo looked at Tsuburaya Eiji in surprise, and Ye Shou also turned his gaze towards him.

This frail, withered body belongs to an old man whose life is beginning to enter winter, yet his prayers can transcend time and space, which is truly astonishing.

"I have spent a very long time in this universe. After Yanagaki was sealed away, I felt the call from the Land of Light and gave the Ultra Star to the humans living here... This is my story."

Ottoman's words also carried a lot of emotion:

Perhaps it's because the Land of Light before its evolution was very similar to Earth's civilization. Although Ultraman is dedicated to maintaining peace throughout the universe, his "love" for humanity is rather special.

Sometimes, in order to save a single human, they will even merge their own life with that human, forming a special symbiotic relationship—this may also prove their similarity at the source, because humans and Ultraman can often build a strong bond, thus unleashing incredible power.

Ultraman (the original Ultraman) had an unforgettable experience of merging with humans on that Earth in the Land of Light universe...

It is probably for the same reason that he left the precious Ultra Star on Earth in this parallel universe, hoping it could play a role at a crucial moment.

"But it seems I was worrying too much. The Warriors of Light are still protecting this Earth... Is the ancient prophecy finally about to come true?"

Ottoman gazed intently at Ye Shou, his tone distant and melancholic, as if conveying an ancient echo to the present.

"When Bayeri becomes light...that will be the moment the giants are resurrected!"

"—!" Ye Shou was stunned.

Seeing his reaction, the original Ultraman was slightly puzzled, but quickly realized: "Are you the real Ultraman, or did you inherit the light of the soul from Ultraman Bayeri?"

"Although I haven't heard of this prophecy, it should be the person himself."

Ye Shou hesitated for a moment, then quickly laughed freely: "Just like you, I also traveled through time, but it wasn't a jump between parallel universes, but a single timeline—I just came back from 30 million years ago."

"It was actually him!"

Ottoman stroked his chin thoughtfully: "This prophecy doesn't mention it... I've heard of traveling to the past or future, but a span of thirty million years in one breath is truly unimaginable."

But if that's the case, then it's no wonder you look so young. By the way, what's the story behind this...?

"If you include everything, it's probably around twenty-one or twenty-two."

"...If this were in the Land of Light, it would be no different from being a 'baby'."

Ultraman was stunned by this seemingly casual remark: "To be a heroic warrior who has survived the ancient holy war at such a young age—amazing!"

Ye Shou didn't know what expression to make:

He should have been proud of himself, but the disappointment he felt after learning that the Land of Light was in a parallel universe prevented him from feeling elated.

However, he still mustered his spirits and asked another question that concerned him: "How do you know of my existence, and what about that prophecy...?"
