Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

"That's enough, Etelgar!"

Minghui stood behind Zero, looking at the figure in front of him with a strange look in his eyes.

That sword move just now... it looks kind of familiar...

From the starting stance to the angle of the sword strike, it bears a great resemblance to his moves.

Minghui's eyes flickered, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

Ha, after all, he's my own nephew. If I don't dote on him, who will?!

But no matter what, Zero has arrived, so we're safe now.

Etalgar is indeed strong, but it hasn't completely exceeded the specifications.

Based on his understanding, Zero at this point was capable of going toe-to-toe with him.

In the original work, Zero in his ultimate form was already on par with Etelgar, and if he activated his Shining Form, he could completely defeat Etelgar.

It's a pity that it wasn't Zero's home turf, otherwise the movie would have been canceled halfway through.

This is also why Minghui initially thought of rescuing Nexus and then running away. With Zero here, there was no shortage of Nexus as a fighting force.

The same applies to the original story. In the end, it was Ultraman Ginga Victory, born from the fusion of Ginga and Victory, who defeated Etelgar. The few unlucky guys trapped in the mirror had nothing to do with it.

You could say they came here purely to suffer.

Oh, and they even sent out a wave of energy.

Tsk tsk, this is an absolute rip-off!

Minghui gently shook his head, relaxing his tense body.

At the same time, the waves of hope that surged within his consciousness gradually subsided.

Looking at the glimmer of hope that could no longer be called an ocean, but only a lake, Minghui felt a little heartache.

He really went to great lengths to come into this world.

Not only was the energy for the round trip provided by the Light of Hope he extracted, but he also shared a considerable amount with Noah afterwards.

Otherwise, with the little energy Noah has left, even if he merges with Senju Rei to fight, he will probably still be bullied by the alien beasts.

That would be too tragic!

However, it was Minghui who suffered the most. Those glimmers of hope were what he had painstakingly accumulated over the years, and now most of them were gone, causing him so much heartache that he could hardly breathe.

But this is something that must be done. If something goes wrong with Noah, it will be meaningless to bring Nexus back.

"We absolutely must find a way to obtain more glimmers of hope..."

Minghui pulled his attention away from his conscious space, his eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself.

The Beacon of Hope is a wonderful thing; it not only helps him improve his strength, but it can also bring him miracles in times of crisis.

That's right, I'm talking about Shining Mode!

Ever since he activated the Shining Mode with the Light of Hope in the battle against the evil Bogaru, he has been exploring and trying to develop it.

After all, he couldn't possibly ignore such a powerful ability to unleash his full potential.

Over the past few years, he has devoted a lot of energy to this. At first, he stumbled and struggled, but through his continuous attempts, he finally mastered the Shining Mode.

This is why Minghui insisted on leaving some glimmer of hope. Once the Shining Mode is activated, he may not be able to defeat all powerful enemies, but it will definitely save him from many life-threatening situations.

He had just wanted to activate his Light of Hope and go after Etelgar, but now that his nephew was here, he decided to save his precious Light of Hope.

After all, there's Zaki waiting in the next world, eyeing us with predatory intent!

With a slight shrug, Minghui observed the unfolding events.

On the other side, Etelgar fell into an eerie silence in response to Zero's remarks.

His gaze lowered slightly, and he glanced discreetly at the armor on his chest.

In the past, he might have taken the fight against Zero seriously, but he would not have been afraid at all.

But now...

Against an opponent like Zero, this tiny crack will be magnified infinitely, enough to become a fatal flaw.

"Humph!"

With a soft hum, Etelgar leaped forward, hurtling towards the Time-Space City behind him.

At the same time, he gently raised his hand and said:

"Just wait, there will be a chance for a battle."

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Seeing this, Zero shouted in agreement and strode forward.

But at that moment, a faint energy fluctuation suddenly spread from the direction of Time and Space City.

"See you next time... Ultraman Zero!"

With a soft chuckle, Etelgar abruptly swung down his raised arm.

As he moved, the Time-Space City, which had been quietly parked in place without making a sound, suddenly shone brightly.

The harmless vehicles seemed to transform into frenzied fighting machines at this moment, with dazzling deep purple lights shining from all over the Time City, followed by countless energy blasts being unleashed.

Countless energy beams swept across the sky, almost filling the entire space and obscuring the massive spacetime city.

The combined power of these countless energy beams even surpassed that of the Etal Termination that Etalgar had just unleashed!

"Drink!"

Staring at the barrage of light bullets that filled his entire field of vision, Zero didn't think about dodging or defending. He moved and charged forward.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Zero's figure rushed into the barrage of light bullets, and a series of explosions flashed, engulfing Zero's figure.

However, Zero was unaffected and his speed did not decrease at all. He continued to approach the Time City despite the explosions along the way.

"My nephew seems to be much stronger than he was in the original story!"

Seeing this, Minghui murmured something under his breath.

He clearly remembered that in the original story, Etelgar used this move to intercept Zero, unlike now where it had no effect whatsoever.

But the next moment, he was suddenly stunned.

"Holy crap, something's not right!"

Minghui raised his head, his eyes reflecting a rich purple light:

"Nephew, you betrayed me!"

With Zero no longer in front of him, Minghui began to face the overwhelming barrage of light bullets head-on.

"drink!"

As the attack drew closer, Minghui's heart tightened, and he pulled out an Ultra Barrier in front of him with both hands.

But that was far from enough. This attack was even stronger than before, and the Ultra Barrier simply couldn't stop it.

Moreover, my body is absolutely unable to withstand this round of attacks.

Upon realizing this, Minghui's body tensed slightly, and a burst of light surged within his consciousness space.

"Ok?"

Zero, who was about to break through the barrage of light bullets, paused at this moment. As if sensing something, he turned his head slightly to look back.

The next moment, Minghui's silver and red body came into his view, causing his gaze to slightly sharpen.

Minghui's body was charred black, but Zero still recognized him.

"Uncle Minghui!"

Seeing Minghui's obviously not-so-good appearance, Zero was startled. He didn't have time to think and reacted immediately.

"what!"

With a soft shout, Zero spread his arms, and immediately, the Shield of Paladin on his chest separated in a flash of white light.

Without the slightest pause, the separated Paraji Shield transformed into a streak of light and shot out, breaking through the barrage of light projectiles almost instantly, and landing in front of Minghui.

Immediately afterwards, the separated Shield of Paraji reassembled in front of Brightlight, protecting him behind him.

"Ha, I knew my nephew still loves me!"

Seeing the Shield of Paraji suddenly appear in front of him, Minghui was overjoyed, and then a sense of security welled up in his heart.

This shield is so thick!

"Boom... Boom..."

Zero's protection came just in time; almost the instant the Shield of Paragi reassembled, a barrage of purple light bullets rained down upon them.

However, this powerful bombardment could not affect the deployed Palaj Shield in the slightest. A faint glow emanated from it, steadily blocking all the incoming light projectiles.

Protected by the Shield of Paraji, Minghui didn't even feel a slight energy impact.

At this moment, Minghui's heart was completely at ease. He knew he was safe, and most importantly, the last remaining glimmer of hope had been preserved.

Seeing that the Shield of Paragi had successfully protected the Radiant Light, Zero breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He withdrew his gaze and looked back in the direction where the Time-Space City had originally been located.

But what they saw was a wide-open time tunnel, and the last corner of the time city was slowly sinking into it and disappearing.

"Tch, he got away again..."

Seeing this, Zero shook his head in annoyance and snorted.

After taking a long look at the collapsed and vanished time tunnel, Zero put the matter aside, turned around, and flew towards where Minghui was.

The frequency of the light bombardment gradually decreased, and when the entire space was cleared, the Shield of Palaj also turned into light and disappeared in front of Minghui.

At the same time, a clear voice entered Minghui's ears.

"Uncle Minghui, what brings you here too?"

Zero appeared before Minghui, slowly floating towards him as he spoke:
