What does it mean that the group members have given me back the light?

The angel they worshipped seemed to be getting a severe beating from that demon.

……

……

Above the clouds, the battle was more intense than expected.

The silver-black giant moved nimbly through the thick sea of ​​clouds, each flash creating a deafening sonic boom. Facing an angel twice his size, he completely overwhelmed his opponent with astonishing speed and strength.

boom!

Another heavy punch slammed into his abdomen, and the hundred-meter-tall angel let out a muffled groan of pain. A flash of anger crossed the angel's black eyes, and blue lightning rapidly gathered in his right hand—

It's sizzling!

A thick beam of lightning burst from her fingertips, aimed directly at the face of the silver-black giant, but the giant merely turned slightly to the side, and the beam whistled past, grazing its shoulder armor.

Without even turning his head, the silver-black giant casually waved his left hand backward, and a particle feather precisely struck the lightning beam that was about to fall on the city, exploding into a dazzling burst of sparks in the air.

Upon seeing this, the angel's eyes suddenly shone with a blinding white light—

call out!call out!call out!

Three laser beams formed a triangular pattern, blocking Nexus's retreat. However, the giant's speed far exceeded her expectations. The silver-black figure twisted strangely through the gaps in the beams, easily dodging all attacks while also detonating those beams that might endanger the city below.

"Uh!"

Before the angel could react, the silver-black giant appeared behind her and delivered a powerful elbow strike to her back. The force of the impact caused her to stagger forward several steps, and her white robe was visibly torn.

She turned angrily, her hands forming a wave-like energy sphere in front of her chest. The sphere vibrated violently in the air, radiating a chilling pressure.

But she never had a chance to launch.

Almost the instant the wave blast was formed, the silver-black giant had already rushed in front of her, his right hand condensing a spinning wheel of light, which slashed down with a shrill sound that tore through the air!

"boom!"

The wave blast was forcibly dispersed, and the out-of-control energy exploded in the clouds, completely evaporating the surrounding sea of ​​clouds. The angel was shaken back by the aftershocks of the explosion, and for the first time, a look of disarray appeared on his holy face.

The silver-black giant pressed its advantage, raining down a barrage of heavy punches on the angel. Each blow contained terrifying power, causing the massive angel to groan in pain. She tried to retaliate, but all her attacks were either dodged or neutralized by the silver-black giant with minimal cost.

Faced with the terrifying boost from the Ox and Rabbit talismans, which multiply by several times, she barely needs to use any light. This ultimate weapon of the Destruction Summoner has no room to resist, at least at this stage.

After enduring dozens of heavy blows, the angel finally couldn't hold on any longer. Obvious cracks appeared on her pure white body. She gasped for breath and staggered back, a hint of panic flashing in her black eyes.

Just as the silver-black giant was preparing to launch his final attack, a faint but clear thought suddenly entered his consciousness:

'We...can talk...'

----------------------------------

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Director Sawai (4k)

"Talk?"

Upon hearing this word, the silver-black giant slowly lowered his raised fist.

To be honest, he actually preferred the other person's previous unruly attitude.

"What is your purpose in coming to Earth?"

As he asked, Gu Nuo borrowed the snake charm from Kiana through the chat group. His gaze was as calm as the moon, fixed on her figure.

Although it seems straightforward to fight off enemies one by one, just like the angel in front of him who is much stronger than the Kyrielords, if each enemy is stronger than the last, there will eventually come a day when he can't handle them all. It's always good to gather more information.

"This... planet..."

The angel remained in its broken state, its body faintly emitting a dim light. Its fragmented thoughts returned once more: "Soon comes... endless darkness... Before that... seize... the light..."

"Endless darkness... what exactly does that refer to?"

The silver-black giant continued to press the matter telepathically. He remembered that the first Kirieloid he had ever dealt with had also mentioned this unsettling term.

"...to promote...public opinion...illusion...to incite...humanity..."

The angel didn't answer the question directly, but the information contained in these fragmented words made Gu Nuo pause slightly.

Does this mean that the person in front of us is the culprit behind that uproaring video?

Monsters...can even edit videos?

“……%￥……*＃￥……”

The angel's will seemed to be weakening due to injuries sustained in the previous battle, and just as the silver-black giant was about to approach—

"……die!!!"

Suddenly! The angel issued a consciousness, and its originally elegant posture twisted and deformed in an instant. Its body expanded and reorganized at an astonishing speed, transforming in the blink of an eye into a terrifying behemoth that was six hundred meters tall.

Its four massive, thick feet shattered the clouds, and its pair of wings, which blotted out the sky, created a violent gust of air when they were spread.

"Roar--!"

The behemoth let out a deafening roar, its blood-red maw wide open, and a wave of energy containing destructive power was rapidly condensing. The air trembled violently under the energy fluctuations. If this attack hit, it would be enough to wipe the entire city off the map.

But at the very moment it launched its attack—

Two dazzling figures suddenly appeared beside the silver-black giant. Two clones, one red and one blue, appeared on either side of the main body like mirror images. They were engulfed in blazing energy flames, and the terrifying energy emitted a heart-palpitating fluctuation!

???

The behemoth… or rather, Zog, its smug gaze suddenly froze.

These two clones seemed to have been gathering their strength for a long time, not at all like a hastily deployed stance, as if they never intended for it to have an easy time in the first place.

Are you also launching a sneak attack?

But that kind of thinking has lost its meaning at this point.

Under Zog's slightly terrified gaze, the silver-black giant's main body and two clones simultaneously joined hands. First, three streaks of firelight, like shooting stars, rushed towards Zog at lightning speed, drawing dazzling trajectories in the air and colliding fiercely with the wave projectiles it spat out.

"boom--!!!"

……

……

The deafening explosion echoed through the sky, the massive sound waves impacting everyone's eardrums as if they were tangible. The commotion inevitably reached the ground, further unsettling the already tense crowd.

The shockwave from the explosion shattered the clouds for dozens of miles around, and it was as if a new sun had suddenly appeared in the sky. The dazzling light forced the crowd watching below to raise their hands to shield their eyes. As the light gradually faded, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."

The broken body, gradually turning to ashes, was slowly falling from the sky, while the silver-black giant hovered silently in mid-air, the energy indicator light on its chest flashing an unsettling red light.

The outcome is clear, and the situation is so obvious that there is no room for doubt.

However, after a brief silence, an even more intense uproar erupted from the crowd.

"You demon! Have you killed another angel?" a middle-aged woman cried out hoarsely.

"Demon! Demon! Angels never die! They won't let you go either!" Another young man waved his fist and roared at the sky with a ferocious expression.

"Look, everyone! This monster even dares to kill angels!"

The shouts and curses denouncing the giants rose and fell.

The old woman stood in the courtyard, staring blankly at the sky, her cloudy eyes filled with confusion. She opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything.

"Nono..."

Anna Hanami gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her gaze darted back and forth between the sky and the crowd, her face filled with worry.

Tomoki clenched his small fists, his eyes filled with both fear and determination. He looked up at the silver-black figure, his lips pressed into a straight line.

Himegami Karen bit her lower lip, looking somewhat bewildered by the chaotic scene. Her gaze swept over the emotionally charged crowd, then back to the lonely figure in the sky, repeating this pattern over and over.

Among the crowd, a young man in a denim jacket was the most enthusiastic in his cursing. He jumped onto a low wall, pointed at the giant in the sky, and shouted, "You damn monster! Get out of our city!"

Just then, he suddenly noticed that the silver-black giant's gaze had turned to him, and those moon-like eyes seemed to see through everything, making him shiver involuntarily.

But the young man's stubbornness made him continue cursing, "What are you looking at! Come and kill me if you dare!"

To his utter surprise, the giant actually responded to his call.

The silver-black figure instantly transformed into a shooting star, plunging down at a speed exceeding the speed of sound. The young man only felt a blur before his eyes, and the violent airflow had already violently thrown him to the ground. In his terrified pupils, the giant's figure rapidly enlarged, and the shadow of death made him almost suffocate.

"boom!"

A loud bang exploded beside him, making his eardrums ring.

But the pain did not come. He mustered his courage and looked up, only to see the giant standing in front of him, its enormous hand tightly gripping a billboard that was almost falling apart—the very same death shadow that had been hanging over his head just moments before.

The young man was completely stunned. He watched as the giant gently lowered the billboard, glanced at him indifferently with its pure white eyes, and then soared into the air and disappeared into the clouds.

The surroundings were deathly silent, except for the faint sound of the billboard hitting the ground. The young man slumped to the ground, staring in the direction where the giant had disappeared, speechless for a long time.

……

……

Inside the TLT command center, the light was soft and slightly dim, with only a few holographic screens emitting a cool glow that reflected on Izayoi's slightly tired face.

She stood tall and straight in front of the central control console, her gaze fixed intently on the huge communications screen in front of her.

On the screen, the face of Director Sawai, far away at TPC headquarters, was clearly visible. She was her direct superior and one of the few leaders in the world who she believed had the potential to lead the world to truly achieve the goal of peace.

"Director, I'd like to know first, how is the decision to reveal the truth about Ultraman progressing?"

Megumi's voice was clear and firm, with a hint of urgency in her tone:

"In any case, after today's events, it is absolutely unacceptable for those passionate guardians to continue to suffer such misunderstandings and grievances."

“I completely understand how you feel, Captain Megumi,”

On the other end of the screen, Director Sawai nodded slightly, his eyes revealing deep agreement: "As warriors fighting for humanity, they certainly shouldn't be treated this way, but..."

He paused for a moment, his fingertips unconsciously tapping lightly on the table. Megumi keenly noticed this subtle movement of the director—a habit he had when facing important decisions. Her heart sank, sensing that what he was about to say might not be too optimistic.

"The current situation is very complex, and the opinions of different factions are not unified."

Director Sawai's tone gradually became somewhat heavy: "Many people are worried that the existence of Ultraman will damage TPC's credibility, and some have even suggested continuing to use the visitor's technology to erase all related memories of witnesses."

Megumi's fingers tightened slightly at her side; she could imagine how fiercely the other party had opposed the proposal in the conference room.

The memory erasure technology for the visitor is indeed an extremely convenient option, but it means a complete betrayal of the truth, which she would never condone in her heart—a practice that tramples on the will of the people.

"Therefore, this matter does indeed face considerable resistance."

Director Sawai rubbed his face, his voice filled with undisguised exhaustion, as if he had just finished a long battle: "It was not easy for me to persuade those stubborn old men."

"That's it..."

Megumi sighed softly. The image of the silver-black giant bending down to save the young man who was pointing his finger at the giant and cursing him after the battle today flashed before her eyes. Thinking of how the person who had been chosen was protecting the city with his life, bearing the stigma of being called a "demon," yet still being able to repay evil with kindness, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion.

"Um...wait a minute, what did you just say?"

Megumi suddenly snapped out of her daze, her face filled with unbelievable surprise.

On the screen, Director Sawai rarely showed a slight smile: "It's all thanks to those two young people in your team, Daigo and Komon. The evidence they painstakingly compiled helped me a lot. You know, those stubborn old guys aren't easily persuaded just by looking at it."

His expression quickly turned serious again, and he leaned forward slightly: "Now that the truth about Ultraman has been officially released, Captain Megumi, please take your core team members and return to the TPC Far East Base immediately."

"Hmm? We don't need to worry about TLT's side?"

Megumi subconsciously pressed for an answer, feeling somewhat confused by this sudden instruction.

"For now, that's enough. There's something more important waiting for you at the Far East base than this team."

Director Sawai said solemnly, "That time machine... has released a new prophecy."

……

……

The next day, sunlight streamed through the classroom windows.

During lunch break, the classroom was filled with buzzing discussions. Almost everyone's attention was not on the lunch break, but was occupied by the television report from that morning.

"Hey, do you guys think everything in the news is true? That giant... oh no, Ultraman, really is protecting us?"

"I don't know... but since Director Sawai has come out to vouch for it, it can't be fake, right? Besides, the footage is so clear."
