I'm in another world, and I start out transformed into Lancelot.

The moment the words left his mouth! *Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft—!*

It did not fall from the sky, but rather appeared without warning from beneath Gomora's charging giant feet, deep within that dark land strewn with bones.

Suddenly, several dark blue, materialized lightning chains, leaping with the radiance of the laws of death, burst forth!

Like living venomous snakes, they precisely and swiftly coiled around and locked Gomora's two thick supporting legs and its sweeping tail!

Sizzle—!!! The blue lightning, imbued with the powerful forces of the underworld's rules, erupted instantly!

Gomora's massive kinetic energy from its frenzied charge was abruptly severed by this binding force that defied the laws of physics!

Its heavy body, which leans forward like a mountain, suddenly stopped!

The immense inertia caused its heavy upper body to lurch forward comically as its legs came to a sudden stop, as if it had been tripped and stumbled!

The fatal collision was completely entangled by the eerie blue lightning that erupted from the ground without warning, forcibly pinning Seven to the ground just meters away from his body!

Gomora roared and struggled in anger, but the dark blue lightning chains remained unmoved, like a web of laws binding the Titan!

This incredible turn of events! This miraculous, precise intervention that reversed the course of the battle! Even King Joe's movements faltered!

Seven looked in astonishment toward the source of the power—and saw the dust that Gomora's charge had just stirred up slowly dissipating.

A slender, golden figure surrounded by a tranquil stardust aura is suspended in mid-air!

His golden hair flowed like molten gold, and his crimson-gold eyes were cold and disdainful.

His exquisite face carried the indifference of an absolute ruler—it was none other than Ereshkigal, who had just descended from the heavens like a divine warrior!

She held one hand gracefully, as if she were manipulating the threads of an invisible chain.

That composed demeanor formed an extreme and noble contrast with the brutal chaos on the battlefield.

Tohsaka Ereshkigal's first home game, the magnificent debut of the Hades Mistress - perfect control!

……However!

Just as she slightly raised her chin, preparing to issue the next command and completely subdue this raging beast back into the combat device—

A faint, extremely discordant stinging sensation, stemming from the rule-based repulsion between divinity and the vessel.

With perfect precision, following the neural link that controlled the blue electric chains, he stabbed her sharply!

There was a tiny flaw in the power transmission that caused an energy overload at a critical point!

*Crack!* The eerie blue lightning contained within the chains suddenly erupted into a burst of unstable energy!

Although it was fleeting, the binding array that was originally as tight and unshakeable as divine runes remained.

In the very instant Gomora struggled with all its might—a faint, almost negligible, sliver of light appeared…

Loose?!

That fleeting moment of loosening! For a berserk beast that had been restrained to the extreme—that was the only way out!

"Roar!!!!!!"

Gomora instantly seized that moment of relaxation! It unleashed an unprecedented destructive roar!

Taking advantage of that one-hundred-millionth of a second of power, the giant tail, which was wrapped in electric chains but instantly tightened.

With the brute force to ignite the earth and the fury of humiliation—like a doomsday steel whip breaking free from its cage, it violently shattered the last thread of its tail chain.

Carrying a violent gust of air and debris, it slammed into Seven's side, which he had slightly turned to the side in shock!

The perfectly in control of the Underworld's mistress: "..." The Tohsaka family's inherited passive ability to mess things up: "..." (Achieved)

One second he's radiating divine authority, in complete control. The next second he's paying the price for his arrogance (?) from half a second ago (!).

Ereshkigal's delicate lips seemed to twitch for an extremely brief moment...

(Inner monologue: Wait?! I clearly calculated the power output just now! Why is the rule rejection threshold of this vessel...?!)

Chapter 58 The good show is interrupted, Belial is furious!

Monster Graveyard: A subtle atmosphere amidst the lull in the fighting.

Belial's crimson, narrow eye pierced through the turbulent energy flow, locking onto the blonde girl, Ereshkigal, who was suspended in mid-air.

The strange power flowing within her tiny body carried a sense of "impurity" that irritated him and was difficult to control.

"Hmph! How dare these ignorant ants enter the arena?! Utterly foolish! This insignificant disruption—"

His dangerous, destructive gaze swept over Seven and Ereshkigal: "It will only make you die faster!"

The source of this frustration was Ereshkigal's earlier attempt to restrain Gomora.

It rudely interrupted the show that Belial was "enjoying"—the cruel spectacle of Ultraman Seven and the berserk Gomora being forced to kill each other!

It's like someone suddenly cut off a drama that's at its climax.

This tactless disruption, though it didn't completely change the course of the battle, successfully ignited the first spark of displeasure in Belial's heart.

...Like an unexpected cockroach appearing on your plate, insignificant yet enough to make you nauseous.

However, to the warriors of the Land of Light, the signal conveyed by that golden figure was entirely different.

Whether it's her body and facial features, or those subtle subconscious expressions, she perfectly embodies all the characteristics of a human girl from Earth.

The aura of power emanating from her was indeed unique, carrying a cool, starlight-like quality.

However, it is distinct from the energy of the Plasma Spark Tower in the Land of Light, and contains no trace of evil.

Instead, it has a sense of "order" like a newborn planet.

And those acts of kindness are so clear and unmistakable that even if the outcome is not entirely successful for unknown reasons, the intention to "help" remains pure.

All these intuitive points of information, in the perceptions of Seven, the original Ultraman, and the two younger Ultramen, converged into a conclusion that required no proof:

A kind-hearted but still limited girl of a friendly race who is making an “attempt to help”!

A companion who needs protection!

Belial's declaration of destruction is accompanied by the terrifying blue light of the Ultimate Fighting Device about to erupt.

Seven didn't even think about the source of her power. Protecting the weak—especially those with human appearances who show kindness—is an instinctive principle engraved in the energy core of the warriors of the Land of Light!

"Shh-!"

Seven's crimson body left afterimages as if the most solid energy barrier had been erected in an instant.

Without reservation, it blocked the tiny golden figure in mid-air.

At the same time, his gentle, calm yet unyielding mental fluctuations were once again clearly conveyed to Ereshkigal:

"...I appreciate your courage and sincerity. But...this situation is far beyond your capabilities."

Ultraman Seven's gaze locked onto Belial's Ultimate Fighting Device, his fighting stance tense. "Find cover immediately and protect yourself!"

This spontaneous act of protection, transcending combat strategy... this almost reflexive care for "humans in need"...

The way Zero instinctively shielded the panicked Pigmon under his body and used his body to support the boulder on Planet K76... how similar it is!

The instinct to cherish and protect "small acts of kindness" is deeply rooted in the life code of two generations of giants of light, father and son.

In mid-air, Ai Lei was in a state of profound cognitive dissonance.

She had just regained her composure and was ready to officially reveal her identity and regroup—a mere monster! This goddess is…

But Seven's unexpected protective action, and his crystal-clear words, "Please find cover immediately and protect yourself!"

The goddess's carefully constructed aura and train of thought were instantly interrupted, leaving her only with a look of astonishment and... a strange sense of powerlessness!

(What do you take me for?! A kitten that needs to be picked up from the street and put into a cardboard box to shelter from the rain?!)

Her eyes, burning with crimson divine flames, stared blankly at the crimson figure in front of her, which resembled an insurmountable mountain range.

What... what's going on with this giant of light?! Do I look like a fragile museum item that needs to be hidden away?!

I haven't even made a move yet! And "bunker"? This "graveyard" made of monster bones, where could any of it possibly contain my underworld...?

No, wait! The point is! Who would use this kind of garbage as cover?!

The frustration of being mistaken for a "fragile human girl," mixed with Seven's heavy, warm, yet utterly absurd "good intentions," made her delicate face display a variety of expressions, completely rendering her speechless.

On the other side of the battlefield, Belial stared blankly for a moment at Seven's protective mother hen-like demeanor, his crimson eyes of destruction momentarily blank.

Gomora, which had been enraged, calmed down at this moment, and Belial subconsciously looked to the other side of the battlefield.

Inside the Panlong, the human crew members, who were as insignificant as dust in Ultraman's eyes, unexpectedly unleashed a light of their hearts that even he had not anticipated!

This faint yet cohesive force of belief, like a precise scalpel, forcefully severed the threads of mental control that were wrapped around Raymond's will!

The Earth Reionics in his hand, which had been stained black and was about to become the most interesting piece in his game of destruction, actually broke free from the edge of the raging abyss amidst the calls of those "ants," and its eyes gradually regained their clarity!

"—Damn bugs! How dare they... ruin the entertainment I've carefully prepared?!"

Those scarlet lights, like red-hot branding irons, were fixedly focused on the small Panlong ship below.

If Ereshkigal's interference was merely a minor interruption that caused Belial to frown, then Raymond's complete "sight restoration" was like kicking his meticulously planned main show to the ground and then viciously stomping on it a few more times!

The humiliation and rage of having the "core of entertainment" interrupted and the core "toy" destroyed in front of everyone was like the fuse of a ton of dynamite being ignited in an instant.

"You all... turn into dust in this graveyard, indistinguishable from one another!"

He raised the Ultimate Fighting Device high in his hand.

Boom! Rumble!

The blue electric current, containing all of Belial's ignited rage, frustration, and tyranny, roared like a stellar storm, crashing down indiscriminately on Seven, who was using his body as a shield, Ereshkigal, whom he was firmly "protecting," and the Panlong below, which was not yet far away!

Belial's intentions were crystal clear—to use this powerful strike to completely, thoroughly, and without a trace erase all sources of his "displeasure" from the universe! To turn the disrupted "entertainment venue" into their shared burial ground!

Chapter 59 The Protection of the Underworld!

The end of destruction seems to have arrived!

Captain Hyuga, Haruna, Oki, Kumano... all the crew members were under a destructive pressure powerful enough to tear space apart.

Like an ordinary person facing a tsunami, they instinctively lowered their body and tightly protected their head with their arms.

Ultraman Seven spread his arms, his huge, crimson body firmly blocking the group of tiny lives.

Like a rock rooted in the earth, it was prepared to be instantly submerged or even torn apart.

His only unwavering belief was to fight for the survival of the people he loved behind him!

At this moment, time seemed to stretch out.

In the minds of all the witnesses—Belial, the Ultramen, and the crew of the Panlong.

The blonde girl, who was being fiercely protected by Seven and hovering in mid-air, was nothing more than a "little bug" on Belial's list of targets to be eliminated in his rage.

Just as the extremely powerful electric current was about to strike Seven's back, and the Panlong was on the verge of collapse—

Om-! ! !

A completely different, warm energy wave, seemingly emanating from the very source of life, burst forth from the "zone of despair" behind Seven.

The blonde girl standing behind Seven, who had always been regarded as a "fragile vase"—Ereshkigal—slowly raised her eyes!

Those eyes, which had been burning with crimson flames and were just moments before filled with astonishment and resentment, were now deep within their depths.

The cold divinity representing the ultimate authority of the underworld and belonging to the supreme god of Mesopotamia was instantly ignited!

She raised her arm! Slender and fair, the same hand Seven had once thought needed to "find cover".

At this moment, however, it carries an irresistible will, powerful enough to shake the very foundations of life and death.

Buzz—! The immense, almost tangible power of the dead, accumulated over billions of years in the entire Monster Graveyard, suddenly resonated.

The dust in space, the suspended skeletons, and even the lamentations of the planet's tragedy buried deeper within, all seemed to instantly transform into invisible threads at her fingertips.

This realm, which belonged to death, became her true domain with the mere gesture of her hand.

Her voice was no longer the clear, melodious tone of a young girl, but rather the cold command of the mistress of the underworld:

"Ereshkigal, the Goddess of the Earth, hereby commands!"

With the release of her true name and the manipulation of her authority, phantom images of red bougainvillea, each imbued with the blessing of the underworld, appeared.
