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

"That silver-red Ultraman,"

But at that moment, a calm voice suddenly broke the silence in the command room: "He's rescuing his comrade."

As soon as the words were spoken, all sorts of complex gazes turned to the source of the sound—astonishment, doubt, and confusion, a mix of emotions swirling in everyone's eyes.

But once they saw the speaker's face clearly, their gazes all became evasive.

“…Director Sawai.” Someone whispered.

The crowd recognized the highly respected leader and dared not speak for a moment.

But in the corner, someone couldn't help but whisper a rebuttal:

"But to risk the entire Earth just to save one giant..."

"But we have no right to demand that a soldier who has helped us countless times sacrifice himself for us, do we?"

Sawai's gaze swept seriously over the speaker: "The instinct to survive is certainly a biological instinct, but what makes us humans is that, in addition to survival, we also have a more noble belief in our hearts."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the command room focused their attention on the person who had raised the question. He felt his cheeks burning instantly, as if he had been scorched by an invisible gaze, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"The weight of human civilization lies not only in how long it lasts, but also in the manner in which it continues."

Sawai continued, looking at everyone with a solemn expression:

"I urge you all, when weighing the pros and cons, not to forget our most precious human nature."

……

……

"The light of the Star of Light...?"

In the center of the battlefield, Dark Lucifer knelt on one knee, his chest heaving violently.

Despite its slightly disheveled appearance, its innate majesty, which had been present since the beginning of the universe, remained undiminished. It slowly raised its head, a hint of understanding flashing in its azure eyes.

"It seems... you've escaped with your life..."

"Noah's...successor..."

A somber will echoed across the shattered earth.

Noah – The Final – head-on confrontation with this attack, even though it was only a half-kill move released by Noah who was far from recovering to his peak, was almost a fatal blow to Dark Lucifer, who was also in a slump.

Not long ago, Dark Lucifer was truly convinced that he would perish on this tiny planet.

At this moment, His condition was extremely miserable.

One of the wings, which stood like a sharp sword, was missing; the broken part was a bloody mess, constantly emitting dark red energy particles.

The other side, though barely intact, is covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

The dark energy surrounding Him was like a burst dam, surging uncontrollably in all directions, and every breath was accompanied by excruciating pain.

However, the situation of the two giants opposite Dark Lucifer is equally dire.

Noah, panting and clutching his chest, met Dark Lucifer's gaze in the same posture.

Behind Him, Noah's wings were still intact, but the bright red Y-shaped color timer on His chest was sounding an urgent alarm. The glaring red light flickered uncertainly in the smoke, like the countdown to death.

His silver armor was covered with crisscrossing cracks, and from several deep wounds, countless particles of light were uncontrollably escaping, leaving behind dazzling streaks of light on the scorched battlefield.

Beside Noah, another giant also struggled to raise his head.

At this moment, the originally bright red stripes on His body had faded into an unsettling dark green—indicating that the recovery rate of the Spesium 133 element within His body was far from keeping up with the intense consumption.

The three giants now stand in similar poses on this scorched earth, their energy depleted, their bodies broken, and they have little strength left to even stand.

Seeing that the two giants opposite him remained silent, seemingly trying to regain their strength as quickly as possible, Dark Lucifer suddenly let out a low, cold laugh.

"How ironic... that the pinnacle of light and darkness is so pathetic on this tiny planet."

He slowly straightened his body, and his tattered single wing suddenly lit up, with dark red energy surging like boiling blood mist.

"But now that you've lost your successor... without a successor... how long can you hold on?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lucifer suddenly transformed into a black lightning bolt and rushed straight at Noah! Dark energy condensed in his hand into a ferocious claw, aiming straight for Noah's chest.

"..."

Noah silently raised his head, and his silver fist slammed out.

"boom--!!!"

The moment their fists collided, a deafening sonic boom erupted, and the shockwave spread in a ring, shattering the rock beneath the two giants' feet.

"The one who laughs last... will definitely be me... Noah!"

Dark Lucifer roared, spinning and sweeping his leg towards his opponent's lower body. At that moment, the silver-green giant suddenly rushed forward, kneeing him in response. The dull thud of bone armor colliding echoed across the battlefield.

Noah seized the opportunity to break into the fray, delivering a heavy hook punch straight to Lucifer's side. Dark Lucifer raised his arm to block, but was knocked back by the impact.

The three giants engaged in the most primal close-quarters combat.

Dark Lucifer punched Noah back, then retaliated with an elbow strike aimed at the silver-green giant's breastplate. The silver-green giant neither dodged nor avoided, but returned the elbow strike in kind. The two forces collided, and both retreated three steps, causing the ground beneath their feet to crack.

"ridiculous!"

An ominous dark light suddenly surged between Dark Lucifer's palms. The blackish-purple energy rapidly collapsed and condensed, transforming into a flame wrapped in black lightning, which he flung out violently. Wherever the flame passed, even space itself rippled with distortion.

Lucifer Hellfire!

Flames tore through the air, hurtling towards the silver-green giant with a piercing shriek.

The silver-green giant was not careless at all, immediately crossing its arms to block, its arm armor glowing with defensive energy. However, at the very moment the flames made contact—

"boom!!!"

A terrifying energy far exceeding expectations erupted suddenly. The silver-green giant's defensive stance lasted only a moment before he was violently thrown back by the shockwave, flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the distance and kicking up clouds of dust.

However, before the dust had settled, Noah suddenly burst out and delivered a heavy kick to Lucifer's chest. Dark Lucifer groaned and staggered back, cracks appearing on his breastplate.

Just as Dark Lucifer was repelled and had not yet regained his footing—

Noah's left arm suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light like the sun, and a stream of blazing light surged beneath his silver armor like magma, illuminating the entire shattered sky as if it were daytime.

Noah Hellfire!

The blow struck Lucifer squarely in the chest, producing a deafening roar.

The dark giant was propelled into the sky by this irresistible force, transforming into a shooting star that streaked across the heavens before disappearing into the clouds, leaving only a gradually fading dark trail in the air.

"There's no... time left..."

Noah's consciousness transmission carried an unprecedented urgency. His body swayed slightly, but he still managed to reach the silver-green giant who was deep in the rock wall. His silver hand grasped the giant's hand, and a pure light slowly flowed out.

"……This is?"

A question arose in the mind of the silver-green giant.

The originally dull green patterns on His body were now visibly regaining their luster, gradually turning into a bright crimson. The depleted energy was like a dry riverbed receiving sweet rain.

"The last... energy..."

The light emanating from Noah gradually dimmed, and His silver body began to become transparent, like the thin mist in the morning light.

"You must...find a way...to seal Him away..."

Inside the silver-red giant, Gu Nuo's consciousness remained silent for a moment, filled with confusion: "...Why can't we just kill it directly?"

"..."

Noah tilted his head slightly. Although no specific thoughts came through, the slightly backward tilt of his head clearly revealed a sense of helplessness towards "these kids".

Okay… Gu Nuo was silent for a moment, then replied again, “…I understand.”

"Ultimate move... it burns a lot of health... but this time... it didn't kill him..."

Noah's consciousness came intermittently, his voice weary: "...But...I will...sleep...for a while..."

Gu Nuo's heart sank slightly, as if something was gently tugging at her heartstrings.

"Light Star People... find a way... to separate... you need to grow... that's not a good thing..."

"O-50, you're a black-hearted company, don't go there..."

"Earth's Light...we can give it a try..."

"The Eternal Core...on Earth...protecting..."

Noah's consciousness grew weaker and weaker: "And..."

Gu Nuo listened intently, knowing that this was Haji Guang's last instruction.

"I'm so glad...you're still alive..."

The moment his consciousness faded, Noah's silver body began to glow with a soft light, and countless particles of light drifted out from within him.

These particles danced lightly in the rising breeze, slowly ascending and eventually merging into the sky.

Gu Nuo was stunned.

And at this moment——

"boom!!!"

A dark shadow descended from the sky like a meteor, and Dark Lucifer tore through the air, shattering the earth beneath his feet.

Those azure eyes swept coldly across the area, and after confirming that only the silver-red giant remained nearby, a sense of understanding dawned upon him.

"Has Noah's consciousness... fallen into slumber?"

“You deserve it…”

"To lose one's composure because of a mere heir... is simply... foolish..."

"Heh... the next one... is..."

But before the last word could be uttered, a silver-red iron fist, carrying overwhelming force, arrived at Dark Lucifer's face!
