The dark energy infused in the blade collided violently with the human emotions sealed in the pocket watch, and the explosive shock wave sent "Goto Ichiri" flying into the courtyard.

When he stood up, he saw a purple beam of light rising from the direction of the main house, tearing through the night sky.

As the purple beam of light gradually collapsed into stardust, in a hidden courtyard three hundred meters away, Reiji Ishioda was wiping his newly purchased Smith & Wesson M29 with a velvet cloth.

When the sound of the pocket watch melting came, his hand holding the gun suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at the gradually darkening night sky outside the window.

"President Tendo has finally made it this far," he whispered to the void, his left eye suddenly displaying the same compound eye pattern as the parasite. "You've lasted 17 minutes and 28 seconds longer than expected. Truly admirable willpower."

The jade-inlaid sandalwood box began to buzz. Ishioda Reiji used the barrel of his gun to pry open the lid, looking at the Vier crystal suspended within and nodding slightly. "Of course, everything is going according to plan."

The collapse of the Omi Alliance will release enough waves of despair, enough for you to materialize and descend..."

The red light suddenly emitted by the crystal made the right half of his face scarlet, and the black veins that were originally lurking in the subcutaneous tissue began to swell.

Ishioda Reiji smiled and pulled open the collar of his kimono, revealing the dent on his chest of a pocket watch of the same model as Tendou Yosuke's - but embedded inside was half a ganglion of the Viel alien.

"Don't worry, I'm much more sober than that indecisive puppet." He tapped the muzzle of his gun against his temple, the metallic clang startling the crows beneath the eaves. "When Goto Ichiri led Goto Ichiri to breach the main courtyard, I knew it was time to prepare the altar for the 'New World.'"

At this moment, within the wreckage of the Omi Joint Headquarters, "Goto Ichiri" was half-kneeling on the ground, examining the fragments of his pocket watch. Suddenly, Goto Ichiri exclaimed, "Mr. Seven, the engraving on the inner layer of this watch... resembles the pattern I saw inside Tendou Yosuke's wound!"

"It's not a pattern." Goto Ichiri reconstructed a three-dimensional projection using light energy. "This is a projection of the secondary ganglion of the Veyel people. It seems Ishioda Reiji has long..."

His analysis was interrupted by the sudden roar of engines. Fifty meters away, behind a broken wall, three modified black Toyota Centuries slowly rolled down their windows. The man with the fringe-like hair in the back seat of the middle vehicle raised a white handkerchief and waved it twice, prompting over twenty gunmen to form a defensive formation around the vehicles.

"This is Wakagashira, the Kansai Alliance's assistant commander!" A flashback from the previous battle gave Goto Ichiri a complete understanding of the Omi Alliance's character structure. "But how did they get here so quickly?"

Goto Ichiri narrowed his eyes at the purple crystal shimmering on the man's earlobe. He suddenly grabbed a piece of rubble and threw it into the air. A spark suddenly erupted in a direction that should have been empty. The wedge-shaped outline of some kind of stealth drone appeared—the Ishioda family crest of the three-leaf sunflower was clearly printed on its belly.

"I see." Goto Ichiri sneered, crushing the last glowing crystal in the pocket watch fragments with his foot. "Ishioda Reiji not only prepared a successor, but also sent invitations to other organizations to attend the ceremony."

When the first armor-piercing round tore through the night, "Goto Ichiri" had already rolled into the pond, carrying his host. Where he had stood, the ground was covered with bullet holes, forming the words "Veyel"—a countdown symbol filled with malice.

As twelve bronze pillars, inscribed with interstellar characters, rose from the ground, a Wakagashira officer of the Kansai Union plunged his dagger into the eye sockets of a captive. Viscous cerebrospinal fluid flowed through the grooves of the bronze pillars, reflecting a rainbow-like halo in the moonlight—this was the seventh Yakuza cadre to be sacrificed alive tonight.

"Not enough." Ishioda Reiji stroked the dents on the bronze pillar, the blood on his fingertips suddenly boiling into a purple mist. He gazed at the Viel crystal suspended in the center of the altar, then suddenly raised his gun and shot through the knee of a nearby confidant. "You seem quite suitable to be the Eighth Pillar."

Amidst the screams, the man with gold-rimmed glasses was dragged upside down towards the altar. When the back of his neck touched the bronze pillar, the same lavender veins as those of Tendo Yosuke appeared under his skin - this was exactly what happened three years ago.

Wakashu was in charge of handling the pocket watch meltdown incident.

"You've figured it out long ago..." The man laughed miserably through the pain, "Replacing the president's pocket watch back then... was intentional..."

Ishioda Reiji raised his foot and crushed his Adam's apple, then turned to Crystal and said softly: "You see, humans always overestimate their acting skills." A dark red beam of light shot out from the base of the crystal, accurately piercing the eyebrows of the thirteen spectators present.

Representatives from various Kansai organizations knelt in unison, their amethysts adorning their earlobes resonating with the bronze pillar. Ishioda Reiji untied his haori, embroidered with the three-leaf sunflower pattern, revealing the transplanted nerve center from the planet Viel. As countless tendrils pierced the bronze pillar, a leyline map of Osaka Bay unfolded in three dimensions above the altar, its seven shimmering red dots forming the pattern of Orion's belt.

"Mr. Seven, the locations of those light spots..."

Re ?,;?? ?.;:- ::;__ ??___ .____ ~-~__ --!.: ____! .;,.. may

In the space of consciousness, Goto Ichiri, who usually has some knowledge of constellations in order to write lyrics, has now discovered the origin of the shape of the node.

Goto Ichiri swung his sword, cutting off the fourth wave of pursuers. He looked at the cracks spreading across the blade and whispered, "We need Ishioda to activate the phase gate." He suddenly grabbed a severely injured Yakuza member and stuffed the stun grenade he was holding into the gap between the supporting columns. "Hold on tight, it's going to be a bit noisy."

At the same time, Ishioda Reiji pressed the fragments of Tendo Yosuke's pocket watch against his chest. As the bronze pillar began to absorb the human emotions sealed within the watch, the expected torrent of energy did not appear. The purple light particles that should have flowed out were now flowing backwards along the earth veins toward a certain coordinate.

"How is it possible..." He frantically hit the crystal that suddenly went out of control, but saw from the reflection "Goto Ichiri" walking out of the burning house with a katana.

"There's a saying in humankind: 'The mantis stalks the cicada.'" Goto Ichiri's voice suddenly emanated from the crystals within the ears of all the spectators. Ishioda Reiji was horrified to discover that the Viel nerve center on his back was withering—those carefully cultivated tendrils were now continuously feeding energy into the reverse phase field created by Goto Ichiri.

A blood-red rift suddenly ripped open above the altar, and before the Vielian's tentacles could reach out, they were locked in the dimensional gap by the inverted pentagram formation. Ishioda Reiji roared, raised his M29 to his temple, and pulled the trigger.

The arrival of the Veyelian's true form began with the retina's collapse. Goto Ichiri was the first to notice the cracks in the sky—those dimensional fissures that shone with eerie red and bottomless black, now oozing asphalt-like tentacles.

The surface of each tentacle is covered with human eyeballs, and the pupils reflect the environmental scenes under different scenarios.

"Goto Ichiri" was drowned in the mental shock wave composed of the cries of tens of millions of babies. The ruins of the nearest house were like a ball of paper kneaded by an invisible giant hand, and the reinforced concrete collapsed into the shape of a Klein bottle under the sound waves.

The katana swung by "Goto Ichiri" vaporized before it touched the core.

The Veyelian's true form descended upon the earth, engulfed in a storm of dark matter. Its towering, mountain-like form flowed like a river of liquid galaxies, its 36,000 compound eyes simultaneously reflecting the flames of human civilization. Every time an eye closed, a star extinguished on its shoulder armor—this was the body the brainwashed cosmic Veyel had concocted for himself within the illusory realm.

Volume 1: Chapter 208: Phantom Master and Disciple Duel

Since he has absolute control over the illusion space, the brainwashed alien Viel can naturally shape his own power as he pleases.

"Since the aliens from Viel can do whatever they want by brainwashing them in this illusionary world, then we can do the same!"

"Yili, cooperate with me!"

"I understand, Mr. Seven!"

Goto Ichiri regained control of his body, and then dazzling light particles gathered in his hands, gradually forming a pair of red Ultra Glasses.

Goto Ichiri then placed the red eyes in front of his own blue pupils. When the red and blue colors met, the red light that shot into the sky tore apart the darkness created by the brainwashed alien Viel.

The red giant's majestic body emerged from the light, and the battle-hardened ice axe flashed with an icy edge. In the illusion space, Ultra Seven showed his body in this world for the first time.

"This is what Mr. Seven really looks like..."

Inside Ultra Seven's body, Goto Ichiri looked at the rows of small model toy houses under his feet that looked like the ones he played with in kindergarten as a child. For the first time, he personally felt the majesty of Ultra Seven's body.

"Although we are in an illusion space, this is the first time we have fought in this way. Please be patient, Iri."

Ultra Seven tried to keep his tone calm so as not to irritate Goto Ichiri.

"I understand. I will try my best to keep up with Mr. Seven."

Goto Ichiri swallowed and kept cheering himself up in his heart.

Ultra Seven had just taken a fighting stance when, after a space distortion, the battlefield instantly turned into a seashore that would provoke Ultra Seven to have a bad meeting. Even the large black ships were the same.

The body of the brainwashed alien Viel star seemed to have turned into a monster transformed by biochemical machinery. Dark green acid mist spurted out from the cracks in his carapace, and twelve mechanical tentacles penetrated deep into the ground of the port area.

Ultra Seven heard the roar of the underground pipeline bursting, and the 200,000-ton oil storage tank was lifted into the air by the tentacles.

The moment Ultra Seven turned around and retreated, a red tornado formed by violent flames had already burned the place where he had originally stood.

The brainwashed alien, Viel, suddenly lit up with high-frequency vibration blades on his third pair of appendages, shredding the entire container yard into a metal rain.

The Giant of Light clasped his palms together, and the Amerim Light penetrated the acid mist, but the dark green poisonous clouds condensed into a mirror in mid-air, reflecting the emerald light beams towards the bay.

Three 10,000-ton cargo ships vaporized in the light, and the steaming salt particles swept across the battlefield like shotgun shells.

Ottseven spotted the breakwater at rising tide.

Ultra Seven suddenly rolled sideways, and his right leg swept up a hundred-meter-high wave wall.

The moment the sea water came into contact with the back armor of the brainwashed alien Vier, those sophisticated mechanical structures suddenly burst out with blue-purple arcs.

It seems that the biochemical armor created by the brainwashed alien Vier still needs to conform to a certain degree of reality laws, otherwise this illusion world will be difficult to maintain.

The Giant of Light seized the opportunity, and the ice axe on his head turned into a silver lightning and flew across.

The brainwashed alien, Veyel's six mechanical tentacles, snapped off, and the spurting hydraulic fluid ignited a dark green wall of fire on the sea surface. However, the remaining tentacles suddenly transformed, transforming the mechanical sections into a particle cannon array.

Ultra Seven crossed his arms and endured the bombardment, his heels sinking deeply into the melted asphalt ground.

Suddenly, Ultra Seven grabbed a broken gantry crane cable and swung like a pendulum among the tentacles.

"boom!"

A three-hundred-ton steel beam was swung like a meteor hammer, striking the brainwashed alien, the Viel, squarely in the compound eye. The alien creature let out a wail like a submarine whistle, and its eight optical organs exploded in quick succession.

Just when Ultra Seven was planning to press on and expand his victory, the brainwashed alien Viel's carapace suddenly cracked into twelve holes, and the dark green acid mist condensed into a solid blade.

Ultra Seven spun around to dodge

He survived the first wave of attacks, but also lost the chance to pursue.

The Giant of Light took three steps back and stomped his right foot on the wreckage of the oil tank. Twenty tons of steel plates shattered the acid blade array like a flying disc.

Three remaining tentacles wrapped around Ultra Seven's ankles. Ultra Seven reluctantly grabbed the base of the tentacles, and his forearm muscles burst into red flames, twisting the alien metal into a twist.

Fluorescent blue coolant spurted out from the severed limbs of the brainwashed alien Viel, but was ignited into a plasma fire net by the Amerim rays in mid-air.

The six compound eyes of the crustacean suddenly focused, building a diamond-shaped wall of light in Ultra Seven's charging path.

The flying kick of the Giant of Light split into six afterimages in the refraction of the mirror, but the real killer move was the steel cable strangulation hidden behind him - the cable of the cross-sea bridge that was corroded by acid had long been secretly woven into a death noose by Ultra Seven.

The brainwashed alien Viel's carapace suddenly fell off, revealing a black hole-like cavity.

Ultra Seven was dragged towards the abyss by the sudden increase in gravity, but at the last moment, he plunged his head dart into the ground. Sparks flew from the friction between metal and rock, and he used the force to swing upside down, clamping his legs around the alien creature's exposed nerve cord to complete the scissor strangle.

The dying brainwashed alien, Viel, injected all his energy into his tail stinger, and the dark purple poison needle exceeded three times the speed of sound.

While Ultra Seven dodged the claws by leaning sideways, his right hand, burning with a fiery red light, tightly grasped the enemy's brain core.

Just when Ultra Seven was about to breathe a sigh of relief after crushing the vital points of the brainwashed alien Viel, the battle scene changed again.

"Mr. Seven, the scene has changed again."

Goto Ichiri saw that the surrounding space was distorted again.

"Well, I don't know what tricks the brainwashed alien Viel will use next."

The environment around Ultra Seven's body seemed to have changed from the seaside to a red planet. The red giant standing opposite him had pupils like a lion.

"Who is this, Mr. Seven?"

Goto Ichiri was a little confused about the identity of the visitor, but she could see that the red giant in front of her had some similarities with Ultra Seven.

"He's my beloved disciple, Ultraman Leo... I never thought that the brainwashed alien, Viel, would do this."

Ultra Seven naturally knew that the Ultraman Leo in front of him was an illusion created by the brainwashed alien Viel, and he had already prepared for battle while speaking.

Ultraman Leo's red flying kick and Ultraman Seven's silver punch collided in the air, and the shock wave lifted the rock layer of the red planet ten meters high.

The moment the two men landed, thirty tons of dark red rock were shattered into powder, and twelve loud explosions of fists colliding were heard in the sandstorm.

The moment Ultra Seven grabbed Ultraman Leo's ankle, the latter twisted his waist and spun around, and his unrestrained left leg drew a crescent trajectory straight for his head.

The broken cosmic steel cable was transformed into three nunchakus by Ultraman Leo, each section carrying a sharp sonic boom.

Ultra Seven retreated three steps and suddenly rushed forward, using his arms to withstand three blows from the nunchaku. The sparks left dragon-shaped burn marks on his arms.

Grabbing the last section of the cable with his backhand, he pulled it back suddenly. Leo Ultraman took advantage of the momentum to leap into the air, using his feet to push off on his shoulders. The pulling force of the two men split the entire granite hill in half.

The vibration caused by Ultra Seven's stomping on the ground sent the gravel hundreds of meters into the air, and Ultraman Leo pushed with both palms to create a vacuum vortex.

Between them, the sand and gravel formed a millstone fifty meters in diameter, each rotation sending out dazzling sparks. When the sandstorm reached critical mass, they simultaneously pulled back their force, sending billions of tons of sand pouring down like a galaxy, plowing radial canyons through the red planet.

Ultraman Leo's armbar was broken by Ultra Seven with a joint lock technique. The two rolled and fought on the ground, and the rock layers became as crisp as pancakes wherever they passed.

Ultra Seven's left elbow struck Leo's ribs three times without success, then suddenly headbutted Leo, breaking the restraints. Leo used the momentum to flip backward, his heels picking up two door-sized rock fragments. Before they could even reach him, Ultra Seven's back throw shattered them into shotgun shells.

Ultraman Leo's red body ignited with lion-like flames, and the crystal on Ultraman Seven's forehead burst into an emerald glow.

The two figures completed seven offensive and defensive transitions in one thousandth of a second, and finally hit at the same time with Ultra Seven's punch and Ultraman Leo's sweeping kick.

A crater collapsed in the center of the red planet, and the crystallized sand at the bottom of the crater reflected the silhouettes of two people standing face to face.

Ultraman Leo's right elbow was wrapped in red gravel and attacked. When Ultra Seven dodged by leaning back, the flying gravel scraped against his shoulder armor and created some sparks.

Ultra Seven took advantage of the situation to grab the opponent's wrist, turned around and threw Ultraman Leo towards the circular mountain wall.

The moment the red body smashed the rock, Ultraman Leo pushed off the wall with his feet and rebounded, and rock spikes rained down on the pursuing Ultra Seven.

Ultra Seven tore apart the thousand-meter-high waterfall, and his Ultra telekinesis melted the crystal-like water into a long blue whip in his palm.

Ultraman Leo rolled sideways to avoid the whip, but the place where he stood was turned into a swamp by the dripping water.

When Ultra Seven tried to strangle him, Ultraman Leo suddenly sank into the mud, and a sudden sweep of his kick from the ground lifted up 200,000 tons of mud and rocks, which condensed into a death ring in the air.

The moment Ultraman Leo grabbed Ultra Seven's left arm and threw him over his shoulder, the Giant of Light exerted force from his waist and abdomen, flipping him upside down. The combined force of the two distorted the red planet's gravity, and the suspended rocks began to spin around them.

When the seventh meteorite was torn apart by gravity, Ultra Seven suddenly released the force, and Ultraman Leo lost his balance and crashed into the debris circulation. The rotating rock belt cut hundreds of flames around him.

Ultra Seven put his hands together and created a vacuum vortex with Ultra Telekinesis to trap Ultraman Leo in the eye of the storm, but the red lion warrior took advantage of the momentum and curled up into a ball.

When the vortex speed reached a critical point, Ultraman Leo suddenly stretched his body, his limbs like propellers splitting the wind wall. The raging hurricane flattened two craters, and the flying sand in the sky formed the constellation of Leo.

The two men stepped on the ground at the same time, and red magma gushed out from the cracks in the earth's crust.

Ultraman Leo's flying kick and Ultraman Seven's punch collided at the top of the lava column, and the explosive force sent the broken stones into the stratosphere.

The seismic waves caused by Ultra Seven's stomping clashed with the shockwaves from Ultraman Leo's leap, instantly splitting the red planet into a checkerboard-like chasm. The two men maneuvered between the suspended rocks, each step precisely landing on a seismic node. When the thirty-ninth floating rock was crushed, Ultra Seven suddenly changed his rhythm, stomping seven times in a row at an off-kilter frequency, triggering a harmonic resonance that shattered the rock pillar beneath Ultraman Leo's feet.

Ultraman Leo spun, unleashing a hurricane of photons. His crimson afterimage transformed into twelve clones. Ultra Seven drew a circle with his arms, creating a vortex of light energy, sucking all of the clones into it. As the last afterimage was devoured, Ultraman Leo's true form swooped in from his swirl eye. The vacuum slash of his hand blade only sliced ​​through the remaining light energy mirror images of Ultra Seven.

The broken nunchaku was manipulated simultaneously by two men, and three hundred metal fragments intertwined in the air to form a spherical cage. Ultra Seven used his head darts as a shuttle to weave a defensive net, while Ultraman Leo used the wind to guide the fragments into a chain of spurs. When the cage shrank to a diameter of ten meters, they suddenly switched control. The nunchaku, under the reaction force, shattered into a ring-like star chain, slicing the meteorite swarm within a hundred miles into regular crystal columns.

The trajectory of Ultraman Leo's flying kick leaves behind a trail of fiery flames, while Ultraman Seven's ice axe is wrapped in a cold glow.

The red and blue energies collided above the battlefield, like a fierce collision between ice and fire.
