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

High above, having witnessed Ace's stunning entrance, Rose breathed a sigh of relief and quietly removed the invisible, final safety barrier that had been protecting Zeta.

The soybean ball quieted down, and an emoticon appeared on the screen: "(--) Timely rescue... Worry-free".

“Zero~ you know~ how can such an epic scene be without some seasoning~” Rose snapped her fingers.

"Whoa—! Understood!" Huang Douqiu jumped up excitedly on the spot, and a row of bright musical notes and stars exploded on the screen.

Chapter 135 The Name of the Last Hero (1/2)

As soon as the words were spoken, the bright lemon-yellow ball seemed to have taken three times the caffeine, and instantly entered "supersonic mode".

With a whoosh, it transformed into a blurry streak of light, piercing through the billowing smoke and dust and the rain of shards, and gliding precisely behind a relatively safe pile of rubble on the flank of the battlefield!

"Ace-senpai's exclusive music library is loaded! Live sound effects Max—On! (°▽°)"

It stopped abruptly, the tiny light-emitting elements on the surface of the sphere flashed wildly, and a huge [play button] icon that almost filled the entire sphere lit up arrogantly!

The soaring melody ripped through the battlefield, carrying the unique charm of the Showa era and a surging sense of justice, like a flood bursting its banks, exploding with a deafening roar! Instantly filling the entire smoke-filled battlefield!

The music suddenly began, causing Ace, who had just assumed a fighting stance, to pause slightly. He turned his sharply defined face to the side, his gaze sweeping sharply toward the source of the sound.

On the pile of rubble, the lemon-yellow ball was excitedly bobbing up and down slightly to the rousing rhythm, while the screen displayed exaggerated subtitles: 【(?o?o)?? Senior Ace! Fight——! 】

“This is…” Ace paused slightly, the familiar melody that was so stirring and full of the sense of the times and power was the theme song of “Ultraman Ace” that had resounded on the battlefield when he fought on Earth!

It not only instantly dispelled the suffocating gloom on the battlefield, but also seemed to ignite the fighting spirit deep in one's blood, bringing a unique warmth and a sense of power.

He realized it almost immediately, a knowing smile flickering across his sharply defined lips: "So that's how it is. The Earth DJ Zero mentioned when he returned to the Land of Light was you guys."

"Mmm!!" Zeta, at the bottom of the pit, excitedly tilted her head back, and the red light on her chest seemed to stabilize a little with this response. "Doctor and the others are our friends! They helped us so much!"

Ace followed Zeta's excited gaze and saw a dazzling golden light burst into view at the edge of a tall building in the distance—a woman in white, composed and smiling, waved to them.

As if in response to this wondrous connection that transcends time and space and this unique way of cheering, Ace's bright yellow eyelight seemed to soften for a moment.

He nodded very slightly, a small gesture, yet it conveyed clear approval and goodwill.

In that instant of distraction—"Roar!" Baraba, who had been plotting for a long time, seized this fleeting opening, and the deadly flying sword in front of his forehead once again pierced through the air, aiming straight for Ace's head with a piercing shriek!

Ace reacted with lightning speed, calmly raising his arm to block! "Bang!" He easily parried the cunning headbutt attack. His movements were as fluid as if he had rehearsed them a thousand times.

Having blocked the sneak attack, Ace stood firmly in front of Zeta, his deep, powerful voice clearly conveying his experience: "Zeta, see clearly. Any creature attacked will feel pain, fear, or reveal an opening..."

His gaze never left Baraba, but the Blade of Ace in his hand remained as steady as a rock. "But the Super Beasts won't feel that way!"

"Get up and fight, Zeta! Let me see how much you and your companions have learned!" The voice was full of encouragement and trust.

"Okay!" "Let's go! Zeta-san!" Zeta and Haruki's voices rang out at the same time. The slight wavering was instantly dispelled by Esni-san's brilliance and the exciting background music, and a powerful sense of strength surged through their bodies.

Zeta's massive body straightened up, and the red light of the timer on his chest seemed to have stubbornly stabilized. Light flowed around him, and he transformed into the majestic Beta Impact form!

The Ultra Spear materialized in Zeta's hand, emitting a steady hum.

The two figures stand side by side, one wielding a giant spear and the other holding a radiant blade. Bathed in the blood-red glow of the setting sun, their imposing forms resemble two insurmountable barriers of light.

Amidst the stirring music that symbolized courage and legacy, Ace and Zeta, transformed into Beta Impact Mode, raised their weapons together.

Without hesitation, they charged towards the terrifying super beast that represented endless resentment and destruction—Baraba!

The flames of war have reignited! This time, there are returning warriors and a new brilliance!

After a fierce struggle, Zeta was once again violently knocked away by Baraba's raging force, his massive body tumbling and crashing into the ruins, kicking up clouds of dust and debris.

The color timer on his chest was like a heart out of control, its sharp, urgent alarm ringing throughout the battlefield, the rapidly flashing red light glaringly painful. He struggled to get up, but his exhausted body had clearly reached its limit, and light particles were uncontrollably escaping from his wounds.

"Zeta!" Ace's calm yet concerned voice rang out. He had been standing guard to Zeta's side the whole time, and the Ultra Barrier had perfectly blocked a wave of strange lightning that shot out from the dimensional rift, with precision as if it had been practiced a thousand times. In the light of the barrier, his sharp eyes caught a faint energy node on Zeta's head.

"Zeta! Gather your energy into the Ultra Hole on your head!" Ace's command was clear and decisive, like a ray of light cleaving through the fog.

"Huh...? Yes!" Zeta was stunned. What was Nii-san talking about? The hole on his head? He had never received any training in this area...

But Ace's tone was unquestionable, brimming with trust. Without time to think, Zeta gritted her teeth, suppressing her trembling body and mental exhaustion, and struggled to gather the remaining light energy within her body towards the spot Ace had pointed to above her head. She focused her mind, attempting to sense and "open" that unfamiliar energy node.

Baraba clearly wasn't going to give him that respite. Seeing the two Ultra Warriors freeze in their tracks, Yapool's resentment fueled his rage even more. His ferocious jaws opened, and a piercing metallic scraping sound echoed through the sky:

"Ace... Ultraman! Die... Die! Hahaha!"

Before the words were even finished, its ferocious forelimbs slammed into the ground! In an instant, several dark purple dimensional wormholes suddenly opened up in the space around Ace! The next second, viscous, filthy, and destructive dark red super-beast thunderstorms, like venomous snakes from hell, frantically devoured from these spatial rifts!

This attack, powerful enough to melt a warship into molten iron, was aimed directly at Ultraman Ace, who was protecting Zeta!

However, the experienced ace soldier had already seen through everything.

Ace held his hands firmly in front of him like a rock, and the silver-white Ultra Barrier instantly opened, steadily catching all the terrifying thunderstorms that came from tricky angles! The blazing dark red lightning exploded and hissed on the light shield, but it could not shake it in the slightest.

Under the cover of his shield, Ace's gaze remained firmly fixed on the already crazed super beast, Baraba. His deep, powerful voice pierced through the roar of the thunderstorm, resounding as a response to the curse of resentment from Yapool tens of thousands of years ago:

"Yapool! You once said that the victor will live on carrying the resentment of the loser..."

Ace's hand remained as steady as a mountain, the light of the Ultra Barrier undiminished, but his voice carried a deep, resolute, and penetrating power, born of experience:

"But so what! Until the universe achieves true peace..."

The golden eyelights shone brightly, as if reflecting countless galaxies and burning stars:

"We Ultra Warriors will fight on forever!"

This was not just a declaration, but a vow etched into the very marrow, an interpretation of the name of Ultra! The overwhelming momentum instantly drowned out the venomous roars of the Yapool.

High above, a hint of emotion flashed in Rose's icy blue eyes: "This is... Ultraman..." No wonder so many world consciousnesses love these spirits of light.

The soybean ball at her feet completely crashed, and the screen instantly filled with crying emoticons [(;'Д`)] and crazy [(ノ>ω<)ノ], with tears (pixelated version) streaming down like a small waterfall:

"Wow—that's so incredibly cool!!! (;'Д`) So incredibly cool!!!"

Right now!

Om-! ! !

A pure and powerful azure beam of light suddenly erupted from Zeta's head! Like a dormant volcano finally finding its outlet! The true power representing the "Ultra Hole" was guided and channeled! A new, surging sense of power instantly flooded into Zeta's parched body!

Chapter 136 The Name of the Last Hero (2/2)

"Very good!" Ace's voice was full of satisfaction and encouragement.

He threw off his shield, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and several silver rings of energy—stopping rings—wrapped around Baraba from bottom to top, who had just finished his attack and was now in a state of paralysis!

Barabba's massive body was firmly bound by this precise halo imbued with sealing power! His limbs were instantly restrained and tightened! The hard extradimensional armor creaked under the strain. This was a perfect combination of experience and strength, seizing the instantaneous opening during the attack transition!

"Now! Zeta! With the Light of the Cosmic Miracle!" The essence and energy of the "Miracle Ray," which secured victory against Ace Killer, was directly engraved into Zeta's consciousness through mental perception via Ace's Ultra Hole!

Zeta was inspired!

He roared, his entire body ignited by the new energy generated after the Ultra Hole was opened, and brilliant light gathered, collided, and compressed in his fists! The courage of youth and Nissan's guidance were all transformed into a ball of light containing miraculous power, pulsating intensely!

"Yoki! Go all out!"

"Oh!" Haruki's will was completely synchronized with Zeta's!

Light coalesced! Zeta pulled his arms back and hurled the sphere of light, which contained two wills and carried the miracle of the universe, with all his might!

"Space-Ace-Z!!"

The colorful ball of light, like a small sun, trailed a dazzling tail flame and shrieked as it tore through space, striking Baraba, who was firmly fixed in place by the Ultra Stop Ring, with perfect accuracy!

The dazzling light instantly engulfed the super beast's figure, and the extremely high heat melted, disintegrated, and evaporated the extradimensional matter that made up Baraba's body layer by layer! The light particles emitted a blazing hiss!

"Even if Yapool dies... the Super Beast won't die..." The last trace of resentful lingering will screamed unwillingly in the light, and then completely melted away.

Boom——! ! !

Barabba's enormous body could no longer withstand the purification of this miraculous light and exploded with a deafening roar! It shattered into a massive stream of colorful particles, more dazzling than city neon lights and more magnificent than festival fireworks! A most magnificent "fireworks" show, jointly performed by pure light and the resentment of the Yapool people!

Meanwhile, on the distant pile of ruins—

The tear-filled emoji on the soybean ball screen instantly transformed into blooming hearts and explosive fireworks effects! The final, stirring melody of the carefully selected Ace TV theme song perfectly orchestrated the most magnificent and epic finale!

The brilliance of victory and the powerful notes of music intertwine perfectly at this moment, resonating together!

Like golden snowflakes, fragments of light drifted slowly onto the scarred earth. The setting sun cast long, weary yet upright shadows of Ace and Zeta.

Transport planes from the distant armory are rapidly approaching, preparing to conduct battlefield cleanup and escort operations by special air force aircraft.

Zeta felt the new power surging within him—originating from the "Ultra Hole," and even more so from the fighting spirit inherited from Nissan. He abruptly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the setting sun, his tone filled with sincere gratitude and a hint of disbelief:

“I… I never thought I had such power… Thank you for your guidance, Esni-san.”

Upon hearing this, Ace's sharply defined face turned towards the young warrior. His milky-white eyes softened as he gazed at Zeta, whose still somewhat raw appearance bore the mark of battle. Memories seemed to drift back to the distant Andromeda Galaxy. Back then, this young warrior was merely a bewildered sphere of light...

"You've gotten stronger~" Ace's voice was steady with genuine satisfaction. He gently patted Zeta's shoulder. "Looking at you now, and remembering how you looked when I found you in Andromeda... it's quite a change."

Upon hearing this bombshell, Haruki exclaimed, "Eh?! Wait, what does that mean?!"

Zeta's voice immediately followed, with its usual lightness and clarity: "It means exactly what it says~ It was Esni-san who named me Zeta!"

"Huh??!" Haruki's shock could be felt even through Zeta's body.

“Zeta means ‘last’ in Earth language. I hope you can become the last hero who brings an end to war in this universe and establishes lasting peace.” His gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, looking towards the vast starry sky:

"This is not only the goal you bear, but also the direction that our Ultra race has always fought for."

"The last... hero..." Zeta repeated the weighty name in a low voice, his diamond-shaped eyes shining like stars, filled with determination, "Aisni-san..."

Ace smiled and extended his hand to the younger generation. Zeta didn't hesitate at all; his large hand solemnly clasped Ace's hand, which had witnessed countless battles. The two Ultra Warriors' hands were tightly clasped, symbolizing inheritance and protection.

At that very moment, the sky seemed to echo this friendship and legacy that transcends time and space—seven exceptionally bright stars quietly appeared in the deep blue gradient night sky, like diamond badges inlaid on the celestial canopy, radiating a soft yet firm glow.

This tranquil and solemn atmosphere did not last long—"Excuse me~ It's a perfect ending~" A clear female voice rang out with undeniable enthusiasm.

Rose had somehow found herself standing atop a slightly higher pile of rubble, an overly radiant smile on her face, her icy blue eyes sparkling as she gazed at the two giants.

The soybean ball floated beside her, and a tiny 【() Ready!】 was displayed on the screen.

“Legendary moments certainly deserve to be commemorated!” She raised the portable terminal on her wrist. “Two giants of light, could a collector of cosmic-level documentary footage perhaps be allowed to take a historic photo together? It would have irreplaceable visual support value for my research project!”

Her reasoning sounded rigorous like scientific research, yet her actions were incredibly natural as she gave commands: "Zeta-san, please move closer to Ace-senpai! Yes, yes, yes! Ace-senpai, your stance is classic enough... Ah! Please maintain this angle! Beanball, adjust the background starlight to the optimal parameters, especially that beautiful seven-star formation! Ready—"

Ace had no reason to refuse the human scientist who had repeatedly come to his aid. He nodded authoritatively, "Yes, ma'am." His goodwill towards humans remained consistent. "Hi! No problem, Dr. Rose!" Zeta was even more eager, immediately puffing out her chest in agreement.

"Click! Click! Click!" Several flashes of light went off in quick succession. The photo captured the moment: against a grand backdrop of sunset and starlight, the red and silver-clad Ace stood side by side with the red, blue, and silver-clad Zeta's original form, their handshake representing a passing of the torch clearly visible.

Rose, the blonde, blue-eyed Earth scientist in a white lab coat, stood strategically near the legs of the two giants, tilting her head slightly and flashing a standard research-note smile. Huang Douqiu floated above her shoulder like a mascot, while a funny emoticon, "eggplant!", froze on the screen.

"That was fantastic! Thank you both so much for your cooperation~ The data is extremely valuable!" Rose put away her terminal with satisfaction, her movements as swift as if she had completed an important transaction. Then, she turned around very naturally, as if to observe the situation behind the battlefield.

In the instant she turned around, her left hand, which was tucked into the pocket of her white coat, moved slightly and very discreetly.

The soybean ball seemed to drift forward casually for a short distance before landing in the area near the center of the Barabá explosion, a region mixed with energy scorch marks and molten metal that had not yet been scanned by the Armory equipment.

A huge, menacing short sword, emanating a faint, ominous purple glow, was driven deep into the frozen ground by a tremendous impact, and it stood there diagonally, like a tombstone from another dimension.

Unnoticed by anyone, the data stream projected by the soybean ball as it landed flashed slightly on the ground. The very shallow layer of sand beneath the broken concrete surface covered by frozen soil seemed to be instantly infused with magic, its structure quietly becoming loose like quicksand.

A few seconds later, as Rose turned around as if she had seen enough of the scenery, the armory's cleanup team was already carefully carrying equipment closer to the epicenter of the explosion to prepare for work.

Two team members, armed with special sample detectors, approached the head sword left behind by Baraba, their faces filled with tension and excitement, seemingly confirming that this was the key remnant that needed to be prioritized for recovery.

Chapter 137 (4K) The Aftermath of Victory and Casual Conversations in the Steaming Hot Spring

A team member stepped forward, preparing to secure the ominous-looking short sword with specially made restraints and a traction device.

Just as his protective boots tentatively touched the seemingly normal frozen ground—whoosh! His foot buckled, and half of his calf sank in without warning! It was as if he had stepped into an invisible quicksand pit!

"Watch out!" "What's going on?!" His companion exclaimed and quickly reached out to pull him back.

Even more bizarrely, as the team member swayed and lost his balance, the huge short sword that was stuck diagonally in the ground seemed to lose its support and slowly and silently slid down in the direction he was sinking.

As if pulled by an invisible hand, I sank deep into the suddenly softened strata of the earth!

"Whoa! What the hell! How did the structure below suddenly..."

The team member who had fallen into the pit was finally pulled out by his comrades, staring dumbfounded at the empty ground and the vanished "head sword." The signal from the sample detector also suddenly disappeared, as if the thing had never existed.

"Quick! Report! Target lost! Suspected to have been swallowed by geological structures altered by the explosion! Repeat! Target lost!" A panicked voice came through the walkie-talkie into the command room.

In the command center, Jiehua stared at the shallow crater and the vanished head sword signal on the monitor screen, her little face scrunched up: "Huh? Geological anomaly? Could it be that the energy from the monster's explosion affected the strata? Quick! Get the detailed data! Rescan that area!"
