Great, we're doomed now!

The dark aura emanating from the evil god was torn apart by the force of the flying blade, revealing the previously concealed outline below—

A massive, mountain-like shadow is slowly adjusting its shape beneath the sea surface.

The carapace was covered with irregular bumps and patterns, and the dense pores were terrifying. A stream of malicious curses, enough to poison any living thing on earth, slowly flowed out from it in liquid form...

Before Carmilla could see any more details, a dark red torrent of energy suddenly surged from beneath the sea!

The shockwave, carrying lightning that pierced the atmosphere, arrived faster than she could react, and its range was enormous. She barely had time to set up her defenses before she was swallowed up by it, as if she had been grabbed by an invisible hand and thrown into the eye of the storm.

boom! boom! boom!

Lightning exploded on her body, causing even an energy being to feel excruciating pain, making Carmilla cry out in agony.

"Ugh, damn it!"

She managed to steady herself as she rolled, crossing her arms to protect her chest, and a surge of golden energy erupted from within—

呲!

She tore a rift in the black mist, and took the opportunity to break free. She tumbled several times in mid-air before regaining her balance.

At this moment, the sea was completely dominated by darkness. Around the raised shadow, seawater was pouring down from its surface, forming countless waterfalls. A massive amount of black mist surged out from beneath it, further engulfing the already dim world.

Even Carmilla, the dark giant, felt an indescribable disgust for the current environment... It felt like being trapped in mud, where one would be slowly but irreversibly pulled into the abyss!

Then, the evil god's body truly entered Carmilla's field of vision for the first time—

It was a huge nautilus-shaped shell, as thick as a mountain, with a surface full of pits and holes, as if it had been corroded by strong acid. Thirty million years had not left any trace. Compared with the image in Ye Shou's memory, it did not show any signs of aging or weakness, but was even more powerful!

Its enormous size made it impossible to see its entirety at first glance; the portion above the surface alone surpassed that of most monsters, and the part submerged in the water... wow!

Several thick tentacles extend from beneath the carapace, meandering across the sea surface. Each one resembles a dragon stirring up storms and waves, with tentacles hundreds or even thousands of meters long easily whipping up waves and shattering rocks.

Whoosh!

Carmilla had barely regained her footing when a tentacle ripped through the sea, sweeping towards her with a muffled gust of wind.

The dark giant dodged to the side, condensed a whip of light in his palm, and lashed it out, wrapping it around the base of the tentacle and twisting it forcefully!

It was clear that Carmilla had used considerable force in this attack. As the light whip tightened, dark golden energy pulses spread along the surface of the tentacles, attempting to sever them.

Even if this tentacle had the mass of a mountain, it would definitely be blown apart if it were directly injected with this amount of energy!

In reality, the tentacle simply burst into a series of sparks, its surface cracked slightly, and was repaired in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.

She was taken aback:

This level of strangulation power could even kill a powerful monster, but this was just a tentacle...

Gatanothor's tentacles were completely unaware, and instead, they twitched, sending a surge of immense power from the tips of the tentacles up Carmilla's arm along the whip of light.

She tried to let go, but it was too late. Or perhaps she was already somewhat unwilling to give up and tried to fight back against Gatanothor. As a result, without any doubt, she was thrown out by that force!

Carmilla tumbled through the air, her vision spinning violently. This was the first time Carmilla had faced an opponent with such a vast difference in strength... She had never felt so powerless when she fought Ye Shou before.

Then, the tentacle suddenly coiled around her neck, precisely strangling her without any hesitation!

Carmilla gripped the surface of the tentacle with both hands, trying to pry it open, but the thing was heavy and tough, with an unbelievable level of durability, making it difficult for her to break free using her hands.

As the edges of her vision began to darken, her cervical spine made a sound of strain... *whoosh!*

A blue light flashed, slender and sharp, like a blade slicing through a thick curtain, falling from the sky and landing precisely on the tentacle!

Without any suspense, the tentacle immediately split open, its cross-section as clean as a mirror.

Carmilla's neck pressure suddenly disappeared, and her body lost its support and plummeted downwards. Before she could adjust her posture, a pair of strong arms caught her steadily from below.

—It was him.

The Dark Giantess suddenly felt certain.

She turned her head and saw Bayeli's handsome profile, which seemed like that of a god, so close to her. She couldn't help but put her hands on him and hug him back.

"Ok?"

Ye Shou's gaze was fixed on the enormous shadow rising from the sea: "Am I too late?"

"No, it's the perfect time."

Carmilla's lips moved, and a confident smile rose on her face.

Ye Shou gently put her down, and the two of them floated side by side in the air, their gazes meeting Gatanothor's over the churning sea.

"hold head high--!"

The tide suddenly froze for a moment...

The enormous nautilus shell tilted slightly, and the writhing of its tentacles beneath it seemed to be slowed down. Through the surging black mist and churning seawater, two gazes met in mid-air.

Ye Shou stood in mid-air, a golden sword slowly appearing in his hand. He didn't rush to attack, but simply stared at Gatanothor.

hum!

The moment the seawater resumed flowing, without any charging motion, without any preparatory movement, and without even a moment to adjust the posture, the golden sword was already fully charged as it was raised!

Fine white light patterns flowed along the sword, climbing from the hilt all the way to the tip. Before the two had even exchanged glances, a fully charged Zepelion Ray shot out from the blade!

The beam of light, refined by the Holy Sword, had its penetrating power significantly enhanced. The white light stretched into a straight, thin line in the air without any diffusion, hitting Gatanothor's head with perfect accuracy!

boom!

The fire exploded from the point of impact, and the crimson-gold flames spread outwards along the nautilus shell, dispersing a large amount of black mist, which was licked away by the flames on its way to the sea.

The tentacles briefly retracted into the water, and the waves stirred up by that force parted the sea to the sides, briefly revealing a line of damp rock bed before being swallowed up again by the influx of seawater.

However, Gatanothor's massive body only tilted slightly backward during the impact, and after the fire died down, Gatanothor was left without any injuries.

"really!"

This, on the contrary, fueled Ye Shou's fighting spirit!

Ye Shou crossed his hands in front of his chest, fingertips touching, and the light in his palms changed from blazing white to pale gold, spreading upwards along the contours of his arms, covering his entire body in a flowing golden hue.

His posture did not change significantly, but the surrounding air began to distort, like fine ripples appearing on the surface of glass scorched by high temperature, spreading outwards in concentric circles.

At the same time, dozens of thick tentacles of Gatanothor extended, like long, dark ropes shooting out from under the sea surface at great speed. Each tentacle was wrapped in a layer of dark red lightning and attacked Ye Shou's location with a dull whistling sound.

They intertwined, crisscrossed, and converged in mid-air, attempting to surround and blockade Ye Shou before he could take any action.

But just before the tentacles closed, Ye Shou and Carmilla dodged together. Instead of flying upwards, Ye Shou turned sideways and cut into the gap between the two tentacles, his body sliding along the dark skin. Although it brought up a string of tiny sparks, it avoided the blockade.

He crouched low and passed under them, the golden Ultraman silhouette weaving between the tentacles. With each dodge, the attacks missed their mark and became entangled with each other.

His speed was constantly increasing, and Carmilla seemed to be affected as well, managing to keep up with his speed!

The tracking by those tentacles did not stop; instead, it became more intense, with new tentacles constantly emerging from beneath the sea surface, weaving into a net that was constantly tightening.

A layer of increasingly bright golden light appeared on Ye Shou's body, from his wrists to his shoulders, from his waist to his breastplate. Then, the light no longer just covered the surface, but began to spread outward, leaving a bright trail behind him.

The approaching tentacles were violently repelled when they touched the edge of the light, but Ye Shou did not stop. In an instant, his figure transformed into a straight golden beam of light, crashing into the part of Gatanothor's carapace that was exposed on the sea surface.

boom!

A blinding white halo exploded at the point of impact. The contact surface between the beam of light and the carapace released high temperatures and kinetic energy. The seawater was pushed to both sides by the shock wave, exposing the moist bedrock and collapsed rubble at the edge of the trench, forming a brief void.

...The beam of light lasted for several seconds, the energy spreading along the surface of the carapace, moving between the pits and grooves, like a lit electric grid, which was extremely terrifying.

However, after the light faded, only a charred dent remained on Gatanothor's carapace, with wisps of smoke rising from the edges.

Compared to its mountain-like size, not even a single layer of skin was penetrated... It did not retreat, and even the tentacles that had been partially evaporated were slowly regrowing.

Ye Shou floated in mid-air, the golden patterns on his chest flickering slightly, and his breathing became a little faster than before.

He glanced down at his hands, didn't pause for long, and then turned his head to nod in Carmilla's direction.

Without hesitation, Carmilla stretched out her hands, and dark golden light waves surged from her palms, converging with the white light waves released by Ye Shou in mid-air. The two energies intertwined and twisted into a spiral beam of light, which blasted towards Gatanothor's head.

At this moment, the evil god finally responded:

Its head slowly emerged from the opening of its carapace, its enormous mouth fully open, revealing layers of dark structures inside, like some kind of nested throat, each layer radiating a ghostly red glow.

A profound energy condensed from the deepest part of the body, and before the light wave arrived, it transformed into a slender and concentrated beam of light, almost as thin as a needle, yet its brightness caused the surrounding seawater and sky to darken for a moment.

boom!

The two energies collided in mid-air, and the light waves began to disintegrate the moment they came into contact with the beam, splitting apart from the point of contact to both sides, like water being cleaved in two by a blade, with fragmented aftershocks scattering in all directions.

After passing through the light wave, the beam of light barely slowed down and continued to extend upwards, grazing the sides of Ye Shou and Carmilla. The two dodged to the sides at the same time, and the beam passed between them, piercing into the sky without any obstruction.

The slender beam of light pierced the atmosphere without making a sound, leaving only a very thin white streak that briefly appeared in the sky. It struck a communications satellite in geostationary orbit, and then a second satellite was also pierced. The beam continued to extend into deep space with almost no deflection.

It grazed the edge of the moon, leaving a scorch mark thousands of meters long on the lunar surface. The black trail stretched from the edge of the crater to the edge of the crater. The rocks along the way were melted by the high temperature and then cooled to form a smooth glassy layer.

Ye Shou steadied himself, and Carmilla readjusted her posture on the other side. The two of them looked at the enormous creature on the sea. Gatanothor's head had retracted back into its shell, and the dark red light faintly emanated from the holes, as if it was preparing for the next attack.

Ye Shou's brow twitched, and then he heard a sound coming from beneath the sea.

It started as a low hum, then became more intense, as if countless sound sources were being activated simultaneously. Large amounts of bubbles began to surge on the surface of the sea, with dark foam rolling upwards from the depths of the trench. Then, countless red lights shone from beneath the surface.

Wow!

The sea surface was broken, and countless flying dragons burst out of the water. They varied in size, some only a few meters long, while others were nearly twenty meters long. They spread their wings in the air, their scales gleaming wetly in the surging black mist, obscuring each other like a dark cloud covering the sky.

Instead of scattering, they converged around Gatanothor, forming a moving curtain of darkness that completely covered everything in their field of vision.

Ye Shou didn't speak; he simply stood there, watching the expanding swarm of flying dragons—

hum!

hum!

(iv) (t)?b?аV? (Q)越已%?? 嗡！

He felt light shining behind him, one after another, appearing simultaneously from different directions.

Lucifer's silver silhouette emerged from the left, while Darram descended from the right, breaking through the clouds and landing on the shallows, splashing up a muddy spray. His timer didn't flash, and he was in much better condition than before. Dyna, meanwhile, slowly descended from the sky, his body maintaining its usual red and blue color scheme. He surveyed his surroundings, his gaze finally settling on the surging dragons on the sea.

Immediately afterward, another beam of light streaked across the distance. Tiga's figure paused for a moment in mid-air before landing atop a reef jutting out of the sea. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, his posture lighter than the others, indicating that he had the most stamina.

The five giants of light stood with Carmilla at the edge of the churning black mist, facing the slowly expanding dark shadow on the sea. No one spoke first, but they all glanced at each other, as if they already knew what they were about to face.

Gatanothor's carapace trembled slightly, and the tentacles wrapped around it parted to the sides. The dragons on the sea began to lower their postures, as if waiting for some kind of command.

In battles of this caliber, they are merely cannon fodder. However, Gatanothor is clearly not a merciful leader. Even if it only slightly depletes Ultraman's stamina, it will not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of its subordinates.

The wind stopped at that moment, and even the sound of the waves crashing seemed to be suppressed.

"Gentlemen, let's begin!"
