Great, we're doomed now!

Pleasant praises rang out, but at the same time, a powerful pressure descended—Ye Shou was not surprised, he simply raised his head calmly.

In their field of vision, Carmilla descended with Dagon and Hitram, her gaze fixed on Bayeri with undisguised admiration.

"Ye Shou, join us!"

With your power, we can gain control of the Eternal Core even faster, and then ruling the universe will be no problem at all!

Ye Shou withdrew his hands, shook his head calmly, and even showed a hint of disappointment.

"I've already refused, why bring it up again?" He changed the subject, curiously asking, "By the way, how did you find this place?"

Hitram laughed smugly, a hint of cunning in his voice: "It's simple, I've modified the blood of these little monsters, giving it a special scent."

The dragon turtle killed many birds that were tracking it last time, and it had already picked up this scent... The reason you were allowed to retreat smoothly before was just to follow the trail.

Otherwise, how could you have retreated so easily?

He shrugged, his tone resolute: "Now, no one can stop us from obtaining the Eternal Core!"

Carmilla slowly stepped forward, her body swirling with energy: "Ye Shou, stop being so stubborn. You have no chance against three opponents, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen to run away last time."

Ye Shou sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "My retreat is only to leave room for maneuver, not out of fear."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and a silver breastplate and shoulder guards appeared in the void, fitting precisely onto [Bayeri]'s body.

Buzz!

Bayeri unfurled two wings like ribbons of light from his back, and the thrusters on his waist glowed with a ghostly blue light.

Immediately afterwards, a golden sword with dazzling light was drawn from the void and tightly grasped in Ye Shou's hand.

Zheng—

With his full set of mobile armor fully equipped, Bayeri's head was surrounded by rings of rainbow light. Although he stood firmly on the ground, his gaze was like that of someone looking down on all living beings, carrying an undeniable pressure as he directly focused on the Dark Trio.

"What is that...?"

Carmilla looked at Bayeri with apprehension, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

At this moment, Ye Shou did not unleash any earth-shattering aura, but the Dark Trio felt a bone-chilling fear from the deepest part of their biological instincts.

This shouldn't have happened to the Dark Giants, because they are at the top of the cosmic food chain and have no "natural enemies"!

"This guy was hiding his strength... Damn it, he actually looked down on me!"

Dagon clenched his fists. This fearless and war-loving red giant couldn't help but gasp when he saw the mysterious armored form. His muscles trembled slightly uncontrollably, and his fighting spirit was suppressed by an inexplicable sense of oppression.

His eyes were solemn, clearly aware of the difference in strength between the two sides. The Ye Shou before him was no longer the dark giant he had seen before... He hadn't expected his light form to be so powerful!

"Their compatibility is extremely poor."

"Hmm~"

Carmilla offered an objective assessment, while Dagon could only nod reluctantly.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack first?"

Ye Shou spread his arms, not only not showing off his strength, but also appearing defenseless, as if he was deliberately waiting for someone to attack him.

At this moment, he was like a sharp blade that had been sheathed. Although no one could see the blade, it exuded a sharpness that made people afraid to look directly at him!

The same thought quietly arose in the minds of all three: they had no chance of winning against Bayeli alone!

Perhaps only a three-on-one situation offers even a sliver of hope...

"Hmph, all this fancy stuff, do you think it can scare people?" Hitram forced a smile, feigning disdain as he tried to hide his inner panic.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shou's lips curled into a faint smile.

The smile was calm yet carried an inexplicable sense of intimidation, causing Carmilla to pause slightly in surprise.

The next second, something unexpected happened!

hum!

hum!

hum!

Ripples spread across the space around Ye Shou, and the "Space-Time Boundary" suddenly unfolded. The surrounding light and shadow instantly became overlapping, like countless mirrors reflecting each other, and the world seemed to be distorted, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Hitram felt a blur before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he was shocked to find himself hundreds of meters away from Dagon and Kalumira, separated from each other by the distorted space.

"Space-based superpowers?" he exclaimed in shock, his heart filled with disbelief.

Ultraman's superpowers are basically "omnipotent". He can learn time-space magic, but to talk about instantaneous space teleportation... well, this "Bayeli" doesn't seem like a magician.

Just as he was about to look for Ye Shou's whereabouts, a blinding golden light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye—

laugh!

A sharp, excruciating pain suddenly ripped through his chest; the blue giant hadn't even seen the trajectory of the attack. His body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Hitram, instantly defeated!

"Hitt—"

Before Dagon could finish shouting, he felt a gust of evil wind rush towards him. He immediately prepared for battle, took a stance, and launched a forward somersault—

wrong!

If it were Bayeri, his movements would be faster than sound and wind, making it impossible for him to detect the attack route in advance!

Realizing this, Dagon turned around hastily, but it was too late:

A battle axe-like downward slammed into his head, slamming this tens of thousands of tons of steel body down and plunging it hundreds of meters into the ground!

Chapter 437: Such a cheesy couple (Paying off debts)

One point that must be made is:

The Dark Giant is not weak!

Although they are parallel worlds, the depiction of giants is different in "Ultraman Tiga" and "Triga".

The ancient civilization in Ultraman Tiga has many giants, but they are all "original" ones, that is, the first generation. They have no proper inheritance and just rely on instinct to drive the power of light. They gradually figure out some skills in battle.

Their legacy was actually recorded by all-rounders like Ye Shou and Tiga after their demise, which made it so convenient for Shinjo and Masaki to learn from them later.

To put it bluntly, the average level of the Ancient Giants is quite average.

But Carmilla and her trio are different!

These three are not giants native to Earth. They have accumulated enough combat experience in the universe, and the universe itself is set in a way where darkness slightly outweighs light, so their strength is extraordinary.

It's important to know that, theoretically, throughout the entire "Triga" series, these three never returned to their perfect state, but they always maintained their BOSS status. For example, Hitram even collected all sorts of monsters with divine heads and grotesque faces during his wanderings... This is something that cannot be done without a certain level of strength.

Ye Shou had a deep understanding of this. In terms of basic stats, this trio was a level above the trio in the neighboring "Ultraman Tiga"!

—But they performed even worse in front of Ye Shou.

The main reason is, of course, that Ye Shou has become stronger. The ancient Baye Li is completely different in strength from the Baye Li who is now wielding both sword and armor.

But there is an even more important reason, and that brings us to the time when Ye Shougang was hit by the "trigger"... Ye Shougang passively absorbed a lot of energy that time. Although it wasn't as dramatic as a complete transformation, his overall improvement was significant.

Moreover, this established a certain connection between him and the [Eternal Core]—

He's standing outside the [Eternal Core] now, just like when he was fighting the three of them around the Prism Tower!

How can you lose when there's a spring behind you?

"Impressive... You're much stronger than when we first met."

For Carmilla, everything happened in an instant, leaving no time for rescue. However, as she watched her two companions fall one after another, there was no worry on her face. With a flick of her dark golden whip, it transformed into a sharp longsword.

The sword was dark gold in color, but its surface was surrounded by a faint black light. As soon as it was formed, it rushed towards Ye Shou with a sharp wind pressure!

clang!

The golden sword and the lightsaber clashed with a deafening roar, sparks flying everywhere!

Ye Shou had intended to overwhelm his opponent with a single move using the amplification provided by his mobile armor, but he hadn't expected Carmilla's power to far exceed his expectations—

Although not as strong as him, it had already surpassed the power-type Dagon, causing his wrist to tighten slightly.

A flicker of surprise crossed his mind, but before he could think further, Carmilla launched a fierce attack.

She wielded her lightsaber with incredible speed and ferocity, the sword light forming an impenetrable net as she engaged Ye Shou in a fierce hand-to-hand combat. The lightning-fast clashes produced a continuous series of resounding clangs as the two figures rapidly intersected in mid-air, switching between offense and defense, their movements so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

"call!"

"Ho ho..."

After several rounds, Carmilla gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. Her sword attacks slowed down, and she gained a few shallow scratches on her body. However, she still gritted her teeth and persevered, barely maintaining the situation with her agile movements, without showing any intention of backing down.

—Ye Shou held back, controlling the intensity of the battle.

Hitram and Dagon could not possibly lose their fighting ability after just one hit; he had to keep some attention on those two!

During the stalemate, their swords clashed again, and they used each other's strength to retreat, facing each other from a distance.

Carmilla looked at Ye Shou, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke again and extended an invitation: "Ye Shou, why can't you join me?"

"Once I obtain the Eternal Core, humanity will be able to completely escape the fate of being harassed by monsters and aliens, and truly achieve liberation!"

"What?" Ye Shou frowned, puzzled.

"Do you know why this planet is so devastated? It's because the guardians are powerless against external invasions. If they were just weak, that would be one thing, but they have the power to make them stronger right here, yet they instead restrict it and use their flesh and blood to fight against all kinds of cosmic disasters—isn't that foolish?"

She paused, then quickened her pace, revealing her plan in detail: "I will use the power of the core to build a barrier and enhance weaponry to resist all external threats. Then I will select the strongest among humans and let them evolve into ultimate life forms to protect the Earth with us."

By then, Earth will no longer be a planet at the mercy of others, but a sacred place revered by all in the galaxy!

"..." Ye Shou was slightly lost in thought, seemingly wavering.

"Ye Shou... or should I call you Bayeli?"

She stared sharply at the man: "You want to just stand by and watch the outsiders continue to destroy this planet!"

Or will you join me and use the power of the [Eternal Core] to change the status quo?

Ye Shou frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation crossing his mind, but he quickly suppressed it with reason:

He certainly didn't want to see Earth turn into a battlefield, but he distrusted Carmilla's ruling methods even more!

Who is Carmilla?

To put it nicely, she has a deep-seated obsession; to put it bluntly, she has the potential to be a yandere. She hasn't yet had her "talent" awakened in this area, so there are no obstacles in communicating with her. But once she goes crazy, no one dares to control her.
