Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

No, Jaden suddenly realized that Leo wasn't unaware; he simply knew all too well what his most likely fate would be, so he chose to avoid the situation and protect Leo at the cost of his life.

But she didn't want that kind of protection. She was willing to face everything with him. She hated this feeling, this inability to sense Leo's emotions and thoughts. She loved him, more than anyone else, for his concern for her, yet she was also incredibly angry and resentful of Leo's unauthorized actions.

The Ultimate Fighting Device in Ayako's hand suddenly became extremely hot, then broke free and flew to the top of Zetton's head. Demaga and Eleking looked up at the sky, watching the power called Ultimate Darkness rushing towards them.

Chapter 144 The Legendary King of Ultra

What does death feel like? Leo said he might have some right to speak on this, since this was his third time dying.

The first time, Dark Spark protected him from the explosion, and what did Leo see then... Strange, he can't even remember something so important.

The second time, his consciousness was hazy and he couldn't control his body, but he could clearly feel his body losing temperature. He could also vaguely hear Renlong crying, begging for that kiss. That time, Renlong saved him with her pearl and the light of the earth.

This is the third time. Leo's consciousness is clear, and he is surrounded by a desolate land. It is night, and the feeling of sand and gravel blowing in the wind hitting his face is so real. The stars above are so bright.

Where am I? Why am I here? I was already... Strange, what happened?

While Leo was still confused, he suddenly noticed a person in front of him. The person's body was completely covered by a wide robe, and he was holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand. Strangely, the river he was fishing in had dried up.

"You're awake, young man." The voice sounded like an old man, yet also seemed somewhat young. Leo walked over and casually sat down beside him. "Hello, sir. Are you fishing?"

“No, I’m just waiting,” the unknown old man replied casually. Leo pointed to himself. “Waiting for me?”

"Perhaps it is, and perhaps it isn't. Why do you think it's you?" the old man countered.

“Because there’s no one else here, and besides, you took the initiative to talk to me.” Leo thought for a moment and found the old man’s way of speaking quite strange, but he didn’t think much of it. “If not… please show me the way.”

The old man didn't answer, but just gently shook the bamboo cane in his hand. Leo didn't urge him either, but just looked around and then quietly watched him.

After a long while, or perhaps a very long time, the old man slowly spoke, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know." Leo shook his head. He didn't even know where he came from, so how could he know where he was going?

Why are you leaving?

"Because I feel like I have something very important that I haven't finished yet."

"It must be something very important," Leo thought. The old man nodded slightly. "Since it's something very important, instead of asking me, someone who might not even know the answer, shouldn't you take action and find a way out yourself?"

“Blindly taking action will only waste time and energy for no reason. Besides, I always felt that you were extraordinary.”

In this desolate wilderness, an old man is sitting here inexplicably, looking like a wise hermit. It just doesn't seem right.

"What a perceptive young man..." the old man sighed. "I am not waiting for you, but I am indeed waiting for you. The direction in which the sun rises is the road you should return to."

"Could you tell me which way the sun rises?" Leo asked politely. The old man didn't answer directly. "Before pointing you in the right direction, I have some questions for you."

"The way you speak is a bit hard to understand, but please ask." Leo sat cross-legged next to the old man, looking like a well-behaved student listening attentively.

"Young man, do you prefer darkness or light?" The question seemed familiar. Leo pondered for a moment, "What a strange question, but I suppose it has both."

The old man didn't reply, but simply lowered his fishing rod slightly, as if signaling Leo to continue.

Leo looked up at the familiar starry sky above him, and it seemed as if he remembered something.

"Just like the starry sky above us, the black night gently embraces the light of the stars, and the light of the stars makes the night no longer seem lonely. So light and darkness never need to prefer one over the other; they are inherently one."

"A world that is too dark will make it impossible to see the road ahead or the people you love; a world that is too bright will also hurt people's eyes."

True darkness should embrace all light, and true light should bring warmth to darkness, just like the entire universe.

"Young man, let me ask you one last question. If you leave here, your future path will still be full of hardships and torments. You will face many powerful enemies, and you may even face death many times."

"But if you choose to stay, you won't have to face those things anymore. Here you can have the eternal life that many people dream of, and live in the happiest world forever. Have you really thought it through?"

As if in response to the old man's words, everything around began to change. Green grass and flowers grew wildly, and sweet milk and honey suddenly flowed in the dry riverbed. It seemed that the old man really could grant Leo immortality.

Leo shook his head. "Life is finite. I would not say that I am not afraid of death, nor would I say that I do not seek happiness but enjoy suffering and hardship. But what I cherish is more than my life, and what I fear is more than my own death."

"If you stop pursuing your own happiness, there is no difference between eternal life and eternal death."

Satisfied or not? Leo didn't care what the old man thought; he simply stated his own thoughts without reservation.

"Young man, is this your answer...? I can indeed sense your conviction. So, head towards the sunrise!"

Just as Leo was about to ask where the sunrise was, he saw the old man stand up and forcefully jerk his bamboo pole upwards, as if he had caught a big fish. A ray of light appeared from the river in front of him, and the river surface cracked open as if a layer of gold foil had been torn away.

Then, Leo saw the sun. The old man, whose identity was unknown, actually fished the sun out of the river. At the same time, Leo finally remembered when he had seen the starry sky above his head.

Qian-Xun ⑨⒍○⑴二⑹㈡７0

"This is... Planet Empera?"

"That's right, or more accurately, the past planet Empera."

The old man in the long robe shifted, and in the blink of an eye, he became someone Leo didn't recognize, but could never mistake. He had even discussed the other person with Ampera not long ago.

"King of Ultra... Am I dreaming?" Leo subconsciously pinched his cheek; he had just been chatting with the other party.

“In a sense, you are indeed dreaming.” The King of Ultra nodded. “As a new Reiblood, your mental strength is too great. Temporarily losing your physical body will not make you truly die.”

Now Leo remembered that in order to give Zetton and the others time to escape, he chose to self-destruct one last time, completely destroying Maga Flame Demon's Spark Doll and dying even more completely than before.

"You saved me?"

"No, it's this." As the King of Ultra finished speaking, the dark spark flew out of Leo's arms, circled around Leo, and then poked him twice as if he was a little unhappy.

Leo felt like he understood what Dark Spark was trying to say, but he didn't quite understand it. "Sorry, sorry, I really didn't mean to break the Spark doll. Sigh, if it's not because of that, then what is it?"

"It seems you two are getting along well. I was worried that after absorbing so much dark power, you and it would both be affected."

"You mean the Ultimate Darkness?" It seems that this King of Ultra has really been observing that area all along. Leo couldn't help but ask, "The Dark Spark was the one you brought 30 million years ago to seal the Ultimate Darkness, right?"

“I know what you’re thinking, young man. As you think, we really can’t completely solve the problem of Ultimate Darkness. Sealing it is already the best we can do.”

"Us?" Leo keenly realized that there was other information in the words of this legendary being, but the King of Ultra did not continue, either because he did not want to or could not, most likely the latter.

Why did you choose to meet me in a place like this?

"No, it wasn't me who chose to meet you here, but you who chose this place." The King of Ultra waved his hand, and all the flowers and green grass that had appeared before disappeared, and everything returned to its original state, so desolate that it seemed as if life had never even had a chance to be born.

"Three hundred million years after its birth, planet Empera gave birth to its own consciousness and light. This was the first sunrise it truly saw when it opened its eyes, and it is something you can never forget."

Leo blinked, looking at the other person with some disbelief. "You mean, I have a connection with Planet Empera?"

The King of Ultra nodded in affirmation of Leo's words. He opened his hand and projected an image: a blue light streaked across the destroyed planet Empera, taking something with it.

"Back then, half of Reiblood's soul understood the importance of emotions and realized that light and darkness were merely powers. In order to create a new Reiblood who could surpass her original self, she took away the last bit of light left on the planet Empera."

"So my essence is light?" Leo pointed at himself. "I thought I was pure darkness, the ultimate darkness that was chasing after me every day."

"Light and darkness mean nothing. A person's good or evil depends only on what they do, not on their background," the King of Ultra said calmly, which made Leo somewhat admire him. He still had many questions he wanted to get answers to from the other party.

"May I ask you, what exactly is Sphia? It's so hard to fight." Leo couldn't help but complain. At first, you had to find some monsters as materials for Sphia, but later they could turn dirt into monsters. Now, they can just gather together and create a bunch of monsters on their own.

"The enemy you are facing should more accurately be called Chaos Sphia, or Chaos Sphia. It is a new existence born from the mutual erosion and assimilation of Sphia and the Chaos virus."

Although he didn't know what Chaos was, Leo sensed that the King of Ultra wasn't planning to continue. This legendary being probably had his own considerations, and he was curious about Leo's reaction. "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Although the maximum self-destruction he unleashed at the end was quite powerful, it certainly couldn't completely eliminate so many EX Pedanium Zettons. The situation should have been very dangerous, but Leo wasn't in a hurry at all.

"I am in a hurry, but if you're not in a hurry to send me away, then there's no need to rush. I definitely want to ask you more questions, but it seems you don't intend to tell me anything more."

Leo was actually very anxious, but how could he not trust the King of Ultra? If the situation were truly critical, this old man wouldn't be talking to him so much.

"What a clever child." The King of Ultra was very satisfied with Leo. The dark sparks swirled in front of the King of Ultra, as if proudly showing off something. "Go, someone is waiting for you, calling for you, praying for you."

“Okay.” Leo walked towards the sun, then suddenly stopped halfway and turned to look at the King of Ultra. “May I ask one last question? Is the Dark Cloth…?”

The King of Ultra nodded, acknowledging that he was the one who delivered the Dark Cloth to Leo. "There's not much I can do now, but she was saved by your sacrifice. Perhaps you can guide her back to the right path."

Leo hummed in agreement, then turned and disappeared into the sunlight, and the entire dream began to crumble.

On Planet Thor, the King of Ultra, who had been sitting for a long time, stood up. Astra, who was in charge of guarding him, walked to his side. "Your Majesty, what did you see this time?"

"A very interesting young man, who did not ask me for help or strength, has a firm sense of self. Perhaps he really can solve that problem, but unfortunately, that's all I can do."

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

Leo felt that a long time had passed, but in reality, only a dozen seconds had passed. The ultimate darkness that rushed out from the earth instantly enveloped Zetton, and even Demaga beside her underwent more changes. The twin swords on his back became like wings that spread out on both sides, and the black patterns on Eleking's body became even deeper.

Ako was stunned, not understanding what was happening or how such immense power came about. Orb was also stunned; the scene looked familiar, and he could most clearly feel Zetton's power constantly increasing.

The pillar of dark power rapidly shrank and disappeared, and Zetton's figure vanished from its original spot. Demaga and Eleking roared as they charged towards the Pedanium Zettons on the ground.

The EX Pedanim Zettons in the sky searched everywhere, trying to find the Zetton's whereabouts. With a "thud," sharp claws pierced through the chest of one of the EX Pedanim Zettons.

"What... Although you have the same power, your defense is much weaker. So you have such limitations too."

The cold voice was devoid of any emotion. The EX-powered Zetton withdrew its hand, and a huge fireball slammed directly into its opponent. Then, it used its hand to catch the destructive beam of another EX-powered Pedanium Zetton, directly absorbing its energy.

"Why, why did Leo die at your hands? He should have grown up so much better, gone so far, and I should have protected him properly..."

The powerful barrier ignored all attacks, and Zetton teleported to another EX Pedanium Zetton, grabbed its head, and forcibly drained its power.

Having stronger defenses will protect him from Leo's worries. If he needs more energy, he will seize it from his enemies, craving greater power so that he can protect Leo from danger and prevent him from leaving him.

But why did Zetton shatter EX Pedanim Zetton's barrier with a single punch, severing his arm, and his fighting style become increasingly frenzied? "Why, why did I have to wait until he was gone to have all this!"

The powerful aura caused all the surrounding EX Pedanim Zettons to take a few steps back. Zetton kicked the EX Pedanim Zetton with the severed arm in front of him to his feet, and then teleported to the ground.

"Pick it up and put it back." Zetton looked coldly at EX Pedanim Zetton in front of her, and kicked the severed arm on the ground in front of him. She clearly remembered that it was this hand that emitted the light that pierced Leo's chest, so she would cut a similar hole in the chests of all these guys.

Search: Eight Moles, Ants, and Tung Blossoms

Seeing that the EX Pedanim Zetton was still trying to resist, the EX-transformed Zetton instantly teleported behind it, grabbed its head, and slammed it to the ground. "I told you to pick it up, didn't you hear me!"

The immense force shattered the ground thousands of meters beneath Zetton's feet, causing it to crack. All of EX Pedanium Zetton's resistance was futile against the newly transformed Zetton. Already possessing immense power, and further empowered by Ultimate Darkness, Zetton was now capable of contending even with Emperor.

Dimaga didn't dodge at all. His Molten Iron Ray directly predicted the landing point of EX Pedanium Zetton's teleportation and pierced through the barrier along with the opponent. Eleking was even more ferocious. He gathered energy in his hand and directly cut off the enemy's head with a Hellish Decapitation.

No, no, if this continues, things will spiral out of control. In fact, they're already out of control. Orb has already retreated far away to avoid becoming the target of the out-of-control Zetton and his crew.

Ayako wanted to do something, but she wasn't strong enough, and... the unconscious Empera in the Dark Emblem was now trying to take over her body to join the battle.

"Your Majesty, Lord Leo would not want you to do such a thing!"

"Shut up! I'm a tyrannical and incompetent ruler now, and I'm going to kill all these damned insects!"

Empera was furious. Leo had actually abandoned her to Ako without her consent. Did he really think she, the Dark Emperor, was some cowardly little person who feared death? Leo was hers, and his life was hers. No one could take him away!

In his rage, the emperor intended to seize Maga Grand, which was controlled by Ako, but then suddenly stopped and looked at the Ultimate Fighting Gear in the sky, which was being held by a hand... Why does that hand look a little small?

"I'm alive again..." Leo's voice reappeared in the center of the battlefield, but it sounded a bit strange. "Wait a minute, what's wrong with my height?"

Chapter 145 I like you, and everyone else.

As the pillar of dark energy shot into the sky, with the seal of the Dark Demon Beast at its core, the sky for hundreds of kilometers became extremely gloomy, and the seawater was also dyed black.

Renlong could clearly sense that the Dark Demon Beast was furious. Twice in a row, its dark power had been directed at others. If Renlong hadn't awakened in time to stop it, the Dark Demon Beast would have been replaced.

In the sky, Magabasa, who had become extremely violent, tore off Zoga's wings and threw him into the sea. All the Golza and Garula who had escaped from the seal were also killed by Gorgorgon and Rainbow Kagachi, who were in a rage.

Galatron, already on the verge of spiraling out of control, was even re-equipping his own core, intending to use Crimson Steel Sparks to directly blast away the Dark Demon Beast. Renlong wanted to dissuade him, but was powerless to do so. However... there was no need to dissuade him anymore.

Soon, Galatrom seemed to sense something. The Red Steel Spark, which was charging up, stopped abruptly. Through the remaining shared vision of Galaoguma, she saw what Renlong had sensed.

On Mars, the Ultimate Darkness that had been released from the surrounding area and had not been absorbed by Zetton and the others was captured and absorbed by the Limit Breaker and the Dark Spark that appeared out of nowhere.

Dark Spark used the Spark Doll it had originally prepared for itself as a base, and the Ultimate Fighting Device released the ultimate dark power that Leo had previously absorbed. They needed to recreate a body for Leo, because the original body was no longer sufficient.

Leo's mental growth was so rapid that he could even foresee the future and effortlessly command a vast number of monsters.

However, his physical growth rate couldn't keep up. The human body has its limits, and Reiblood never imagined that Leo would experience so many battles in just half a month.

Previously, Leo was puzzled as to why he hadn't become significantly stronger despite absorbing so much ultimate darkness. The reason was simple: most of the dark power was absorbed by the Limit Breaker. If it had been absorbed entirely, Leo's body would have been the first to collapse.

This time, in order to create a body that perfectly matches Leo's spiritual growth potential, Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device used all the energy they had stored up, adhering to the principle that concentration is the essence, to create a new body for him that far surpasses the concept of an ultimate life form.

㈠○﹄㈡0ノ╲③９bat

"I understand the logic." Leo, who had just died once, looked at the Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device in his hand with his right eyelid twitching. "But haven't you guys condensed me a bit too much? I was taller than I am now when Grandma found me!"

Leo remembered that when he was found by Grandma Asami, he was at least 1.45 meters tall. Now he was even 5 centimeters shorter than he was back then. No matter how much he condensed, it shouldn't be like this.

Both the Ultimate Fighting Device and the Dark Spark trembled slightly, as if to say, "Don't worry about all that, just tell me, isn't this new body awesome?" The main thing is that the ultimate darkness they stored was only enough to mold the body to this extent.

Indeed, Leo could feel that his body was much stronger than before. He felt that he could even kick EX Pedanim Jetton to death with one kick. Oh, maybe it would still be a bit difficult and would take a few more kicks. Was this strength expanding a little too fast?

Well, it's better than the other side becoming too powerful... It just feels a chill down my spine. The younger version of Leo subconsciously turned around and glanced at the imposing Zetton, Dimaga, and Eleking, who had somehow appeared behind him.
