Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

"Speaking of which, those two should be able to handle it, right?"

At this moment, Kaito Toma joined the conversation, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked down at Ginga Victory chasing after Etelgar.

He was well aware of Etelgar's strength; even Max's Galaxy Lightsaber couldn't harm him, nor could it even break through his armor. Such an enemy was definitely not easy to deal with.

Moreover, that guy's armor is thicker than before...

Looking at Etalgar, who resembled a walking tin can, Toma Kaito pursed his lips.

"Trust them, they'll both be fine."

Upon hearing his words, Minghui smiled gently and then affirmed.

The equipment given by the old man Oo was not just for show; the combined power of Galaxy Victory was enough to rival, or even surpass, Etelgar.

He might not be able to defeat his opponent quickly because of his heavy armor, but he certainly wouldn't be defeated.

He glanced at the two who were fighting again, and seeing that Galaxy Victory didn't seem to be having any trouble, Minghui nodded slightly.

He then stopped paying attention to the battle between the two and looked toward a corner of the battlefield.

There stood Nexus, and in front of him, a mass of purplish-black energy was about to take shape.

As the figure gradually revealed its physical outline, Minghui's eyes showed a hint of curiosity.

He remembered that in the original storyline, Nexus's manifested opponent was Dark Mephisto. At that time, Jun had probably just experienced the final battle with him, so such an opponent was reasonable.

But the situation is different now.

Because of his influence, Nexus never fought Dark Mephisto, and had only met him once.

Under these circumstances, Dark Mephisto could no longer be manifested by Etelgar as Nexus's opponent.

But who else could it be but Dark Mephisto?

Could it be Pedrone?

That guy did cause Nexus a lot of trouble, but if it really is it, then it's not worth watching.

Nexus was no longer the same person he had been then. His strength had increased dramatically, and Pedron was no longer a worthy opponent for him.

With thoughts swirling in his mind, Minghui looked down at a corner of the battlefield, his eyes gleaming.

And in his expectant gaze, Nexus's opponent gradually took shape.

"Hmm, this looks kind of familiar."

The others also noticed what was happening on Nexus's side. Looking at the figure that was forming, Haruno Musashi blinked.

That figure was neither Dark Mephisto nor any alien beast.

However, its appearance felt somewhat familiar to everyone.

After all, we had fought side by side not long ago.

The whispers that had been going on gradually stopped, and the group exchanged glances, their expressions becoming somewhat strange.

It was previously mentioned that Etelgar could materialize the fear in the hearts of his enemies, so this is...

Looking at that familiar silver and red figure, the light in Minghui's eyes faded, and he fell into silence.

"Uncle Minghui, it looks like you!"

Zero moved closer to Minghui, trying to keep a straight face, and whispered something.

"Thank you so much, but I'm not blind yet!"

Minghui rolled his eyes in annoyance and pushed Zero, who was leaning in front of him, aside.

After a brief silence, he forced a smile and said:

“It’s…it’s perfectly normal! My relationship with Jun is so good, and I’m so strong, it’s easy for Etelgar to spot me. Choosing me as Nexus’s opponent is just the most natural thing in the world!”

Zero almost burst out laughing. He reached out and patted Minghui on the shoulder, nodding to indicate that this was indeed the case.

At that moment, a scene suddenly flashed through the minds of the others: Minghui chasing Yinhe and the other two across the universe in the Time-Space City a few days ago.

I heard that Nexus underwent extensive combat training under Brightlight's guidance...

Ah... well, that's normal then...

The group exchanged glances, and readily nodded in agreement with Minghui's words.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Hearing the several clearly disingenuous voices beside him, Minghui sighed softly and closed his eyes in anguish.

Oh no, my reputation has been ruined!

How accurate! I've gone to so much trouble for you, and instead of being grateful, you think of me like this?!

This is really... so heartbreaking!

............

On the other side, Nexus was also slightly taken aback when he saw the figure that had materialized in front of him.

Minghui... no, it's Sevis?

Upon seeing this unexpected figure, Nexus paused in his attack, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He also did not expect that Etalgar would manifest as Sevis as his opponent.

Or rather, Nexus never imagined this would happen.

He also knew that Etelgar's physical puppets were based on the fear of his opponents, but he did not feel that he was afraid of Brightlight.

Minghui helped him a lot, so he would never have such thoughts.

However... well, perhaps there's some lingering unease...

Nexus recalled the combat training Minghui had given him during this period, in which he had always been on the losing end.

Even after a period of fighting, his strength had improved dramatically, but the result remained unchanged.

Over time, Minghui became an insurmountable mountain in his eyes.

He is not afraid of the mountain, but he hopes to get over it.

"drink!"

At this moment, the Sevis puppet opposite Nexus made a move, shouting a battle cry identical to the original, and charged forward.

As he ran, he swung his fist and punched straight at Nexus's chest.

The punch was powerful and heavy, and the air itself produced a sharp, explosive sound from the friction.

Faced with this attack, Nexus chose to meet it head-on, throwing a punch in return and clashing fiercely with it.

"boom!"

Their fists met, producing a low, muffled thud.

Both of them trembled simultaneously, and then took a step back in unison.

Feeling the force in his hand, Nexus's eyes flickered, and he suddenly chuckled:

"A counterfeit is a counterfeit; it's nowhere near as good as the real thing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked towards the Sevis puppet with a whooshing sound.

"drink!"

The Sevis puppet raised its arms to block the attack, but a powerful force struck it in the next moment, and it was sent flying backward by the force.

As his figure floated in the air, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion to the side.

A faint silver light emerged in the air, and with a pull, a lightsaber enveloped in light appeared in his hand.

"Was Minghui's sword not materialized?"

Nexus exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the lightsaber, but he didn't pay much attention to it and rushed forward at lightning speed.

"Cut!"

With a low growl, Nexus extended his right arm, and a lightsaber extended from the Nexus Armor at his wrist.

The next moment, he brandished his lightsaber and made a virtual slash in front of him, and immediately a blade of light shot out from the tip of the sword.

The light blade carried a dense energy fluctuation, and wherever it passed, even space itself seemed to ripple.

"Drink!"

Faced with the fierce light blade coming at him, the Sevis puppet threw the light sword in his hand and stretched out his arm in front of him to create an Ultra Barrier to block it.

At the same time, the lightsaber that had been thrown paused in mid-air before swiftly shooting out and rushing toward Nexus.

"Cut!"

Nexus did not stop. He swung his lightsaber to defend, and the two lightsabers collided repeatedly in the air, resulting in a stalemate for a short time.

In this situation, Nexus's speed inevitably slowed down.

"boom!"

On the other side, the Sevis puppet used the Ultra Barrier to block Nexus's light blade. As the barrier shattered, he suddenly raised his arms and crossed them in front of his chest.

"Buzz!"

A dense beam of blue-white light shot out in an instant, piercing straight towards Nexus like a sharp sword.

"Cut!"

Sensing the imposing force emanating from ahead, Nexus raised his hand to deflect the lightsaber suspended in mid-air, then ducked down and tumbled away, almost brushing the edge of the light.

Nexus, who dodged the attack by rolling, immediately launched a counterattack. He stood up halfway and fired a light bullet with his left hand in a flick of his wrist.

Meanwhile, the Sevis puppet had not stopped firing its beams when the beams arrived in an instant, striking him squarely in the chest.

"Ugh!"

The Sevis puppet let out a miserable cry, and staggered back two steps as sparks burst from its chest.

Nexus wanted to press his advantage, but the lightsaber he had just knocked away rushed back to interfere with him.

Upon seeing this, Nexus's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He waved his hand to disperse the lightsabers extending from Nexus Armor, and then swung his hand forward.

As he moved, a band of light formed from concentrated light energy was flung out, entangling the light sword that was flying rapidly through the air.
