Great, we're doomed now!

Then, we can also deduce the opposite—

For any system to operate in the long term, it must establish a mechanism that can self-correct and possess a force that can bring it back to balance when it deviates from its course.

This reminded Ye Shou of the worldviews of many works. The so-called binary opposition is not just a simple concept like light and darkness, good and evil, but also a very broad and almost ubiquitous spiral of contradictions.

The more diverse and chaotic the world, the more intense these contradictions become, and the greater the need for forces capable of maintaining balance.

"Could it be understood as the world's restraining force...? The more uncontrollable the world becomes, the stronger the restraining force needs to be..."

Unconsciously, Ye Shou clenched his fist, his gaze passing over the [Eternal Core], without a clear focus, as if he were looking at some place in the far distance.

"You're here! I've been looking for you for so long."

Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Ye Shouyi turned his head and saw Carmilla in human form standing on the line dividing light and shadow.

"Hitram's city has lost its guardian. Of course, I don't care about the lives of those humans, but I hate monsters more than humans, so I want to clear out the dangerous creatures around here. If you're free, then... what's up?"

Carmilla frowned slightly, her expression suddenly turning serious: "What happened? You don't look well."

"nothing."

Ye Shou smiled, appearing no different than usual: "Let's go... Protecting humanity is Ultraman's mission!"

"Sigh~"

A giant serpent, hundreds of meters long, coiled atop the hill, its scales gleaming with a cold, hard gray light. Its scarlet tongue flickered in and out, and its icy vertical pupils were fixed on the three figures ahead.

"This is the last one, let's all go together!"

"it is good!"

Carmilla raised her hand, conjuring a dark golden whip of light, her eyes cold.

"Dagon engages from the front, while Triga attacks from the flanks. Don't give it a chance to build up its strength."

"I'm good enough on my own!"

Dagong responded and stepped forward, his fists enveloped in crimson battle aura, as he strode toward the giant serpent.

Hitram's defeat and death caused a great deal of repercussions. Many of the experimental subjects he had collected and modified gained their freedom after his death, causing enormous damage to cities and mountains. Ye Shou and others could not ignore this, so they began a large-scale "purge".

This giant snake was exceptionally powerful among the many experimental subjects. Perhaps its violent nature made it impossible to tame, which is why Hitram was unable to carry this powerful piece with him.

Now that it has broken free, the resentment that has accumulated over the years has erupted all at once, just like the Sukuna Oni before, and has been strengthened to a level greater than that of an ordinary monster.

Of course, no matter what, it couldn't possibly deal with three giants at the same time!

These three are all quite remarkable.

call!

The giant serpent swung its long tail violently, sweeping across the air with a whooshing sound. Dagon crossed his arms, emitting beams of light in a diagonal cross shape. The two collided in mid-air, exploding into a huge red lotus. A wave of heat swept over, causing Dagon to stagger backward.

Triga switched to his Sky Form, his movements as swift as lightning, and summoned Baal's Armor, crackling with lightning, to strike the giant serpent's vital spot—

Clang!

The scales and muscles were cut open in one fell swoop, and a large amount of blood gushed out, but it was bounced away by the hard snake bones.

"Still too inexperienced!"

As Carmilla taunted, she leaped into the air, her light whip extending infinitely. At the same time, it coiled around the monster's body like a serpent, and the protruding dark energy spikes were like thorns, constantly pricking and corroding its body.

"Hiss! Awooo!"

The giant snake roared in pain, tilting its head back and spewing out a thick cloud of poisonous gas, enveloping the entire area in a pungent fumes.

Triga immediately deployed his light shield to block, but Carmilla glanced at him and then saw the female warrior raise her hand, causing the ribbons to fly up automatically, creating a small but persistent storm that dispersed all the poisonous mist that had gathered!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dagon rushed to the snake's head and slammed a powerful punch into its jaw—

Bang!

Crack...

You can clearly hear the sound of bones cracking...

Carmilla tightened the band of light and exerted tremendous force, forcibly lengthening the giant serpent's spine—it had to stretch its neck to avoid being strangled to death by Carmilla.

...The battle lasted for a minute. The giant serpent was tenacious, but in the end, Triga seized an opening and pierced the serpent's head with a thunderous strike.

Boom~

Its massive body collapsed to the ground like a mountain, completely lifeless.

After the battle ended, Carmilla put away her light whip, but her expression was not good. She didn't say a word, and the atmosphere around her was noticeably tense.

Triga landed to the side, and asked with some confusion, "M... Miss Carmilla, you don't seem very happy?"

Carmilla nodded slightly, but ignored him.

I know why!

Dagong, standing to the side, scratched the back of his head and grinned, looking shrewd as if nothing could hide from him. He deliberately spoke in a loud voice, "Is that even a question? He must have been teaming up with Ye Shou every day before, and today he's with the two of us, so he can't be alone with him and he's unhappy!"

"So that's how it is?"

Just as Triga was about to reply, a sudden explosion went through his mind—

Jianwu shouted urgently, "Get out of the way!!"

Triga and Kengo had long been in perfect harmony. Although he didn't understand why, his body instinctively flew backward.

Almost at the same second, a long, dark golden whip swept across with a strong wind and lashed out hard at Dagon!

"Yoo!!"

Dagong screamed and retreated while clutching his arms.

"Ouch! What are you doing! Are you getting angry just because I guessed right?"

"No, it's just to punish you for talking nonsense! What do you mean by 'a world for two'? Who do you think I am!"

Carmilla wanted to explain, but seeing Dagon's unconvinced expression, as if he had already accepted her theory, she knew that the more she explained, the more confused she would become... so she simply put on a cold face.

Six, too much nonsense!

With a flick of her wrist, she unleashed the light whip once more, chasing after Dagon and lashing him repeatedly.

Dagon ran around in a panic, clutching his head. Although he enjoyed fighting, it didn't mean he enjoyed suffering. Of course, he wouldn't just take the beating without fighting back; he would try to resist—only to be mercilessly suppressed by Carmilla.

Dagon was surprised to find that Carmilla, now amplified by anger, seemed to actually have the power to silence him, so he immediately chose to avoid the confrontation.

But he kept shouting, constantly provoking Carmilla's sensitive nerves. The two chased and fled, kicking up clouds of dust.

"...Is this what they call 'family relationships'?"

Teriga watched this scene from mid-air and sighed silently in his heart.

As expected... Jianwu was absolutely right.

"No... I think it's their own problem."

Jianwu felt it was necessary to help his friend and prevent him from having such a negative impression of his "family".

The dynamics within the Dark Giants are quite peculiar. Carmilla is the leader, Hitram is a maverick with a lot of hidden agendas, and Dagon both obeys Carmilla's orders and, from a personal perspective, regards the two as younger siblings.

That's right. Even though Hitram was so abstract, Dagon was actually willing to take care of him as an older brother. It's just that the two of them were not compatible by nature, so they never had that opportunity.

Of course, Dagon himself wasn't exactly a reliable older brother figure, so he was often just being wishful.

For example, right now, the Dark Giants only have him and Carmilla left. One reason is to expand the population, and the other is to have more people share the pressure from Carmilla—he intends to persuade Ye Shou to stay on Earth.

But Ye Shou doesn't seem to have any reason to stay, so Dagon can only hope that Carmilla will be more frank and come clean with Ye Shou sooner rather than later.

In this way, tens of thousands of years later, he can lead a bunch of little devils to hunt monsters all over the universe—just thinking about it is hilarious!

"Ordinary families mostly express their care for each other through words and actions. This... rather wild way is obviously only possible because the person involved is quite special..."

"Oh, that's not usually the case, right..." Triga breathed a sigh of relief. "Although there's nothing to be afraid of, it still feels quite different from what I imagined."

Even if she has never had it, and is unlikely to enjoy it in the future, even if it only exists in her ideals... Triga hopes that her "parent-child relationship" is relatively harmonious.

"Miss Carmilla is considered one of the younger Ultramen... Mr. Ye Shou is definitely different."

Jianwu said with certainty, "Don't let his youthful appearance fool you, his mature and composed demeanor is not something that can be faked."

“Yes!” Triga felt relieved upon hearing this.

After all, that person looks very gentle, and his relationship with his family must be very...

"Huh? How do I usually get along with my fellow Ultramen? You mean with Ultramen?"

Ye Shou blinked: "Chasing them in the car while whipping them—what's wrong?"

"..."

Ugh?

Am I just ignorant? Or is there something wrong with this world?

Why do you look so nonchalant?

Don't ask me questions, you're making me question my existence!

"Um, I didn't misunderstand, did I? I was talking about daily life, not... enemies."

"Hehe, that's why we need to be more forceful and ruthless when dealing with companions and close friends—your question is quite strange."

"..."

Sword, sword enlightenment?

"Don't speak, I'm thinking!"

-

Somewhere in the city that originally belonged to Hitram, Ye Shou pushed open a hidden stone door, and a dark and damp laboratory came into view.

Rows of experimental tables were tied to weak humans, and containers were filled with deformed life forms... Everywhere were traces left by Hitler's experiments.

Ye Shou raised his hand and released gentle light energy, releasing all the restraints and healing their wounds.

"You're all safe now, you can go home."

...The victims, supporting each other, staggered out of the laboratory and embraced their families who had been notified and were waiting outside. Cries and cheers mingled together.
