Bighorn Bull is in charge of leading, and I, Beria, am in charge of raising it.

"That's different! You knew perfectly well I couldn't use that trick! That's cheating! That's dishonest!"

"Hey, you're getting cocky again, aren't you? If that's what you're saying, then I'm not used to using this Ultimate Blade either, and I feel like it's limiting my performance! Otherwise, I could have gotten much better results! That's what you call unfair!"

"Who's a sore loser! I'm trying to reason with you! This is exactly the same cheating tactic you used back in training when we first competed in beam technique accuracy. You deliberately got ahead of me and shot down the target I chose, disrupting my rhythm!"

"Hmph, how can that be called cheating? That's called outsmarting me, baby~"

They started arguing back and forth, the good brothers who had fought side by side not long ago now acting like kindergarten children, neither willing to back down. When they got red in the face and their necks were thick with anger, they didn't care that the Ultra Brothers were there, watching and watching the drama unfold, and they started digging up each other's embarrassing pasts!

The Ultra Brothers were dumbfounded. For a moment, they wanted to hear more, but were also afraid that the two of them would "kill them to silence them," so they stood there dumbfounded.

Finally, after exchanging a glance, they all covered their ears.

However, judging from the width of the gaps between their fingers, which were more or less "accidentally" misaligned...

In the end, they still chose the risky option of just watching the show.

After all, getting a lesson is a small matter...

But if you miss this opportunity, it will be harder than climbing to heaven to find out about the older generation's dark history in the future.

Fortunately, the two, who seemed to be arguing fiercely, burst into laughter at the same time after arguing for a while.

Especially Father of Ultra, whose extremely joyful laughter carried the satisfaction and relief that filled his chest after a lifetime of longing for his dearest friend to return to the Land of Light, now that his bitter wish had finally come true.

Then, Father of Ultra threw the Giga Battle Device at Belial, and caught the Ultimate Blade that Belial had thrown at the same time.

The moment the two legendary weapons were exchanged, the golden inscriptions on the staff and the residual true power on the sword briefly shone together, but quickly returned to calm.

However, just as Belial caught the Giga Battle Device, shrunk it, and re-entered his body, and was about to remind Father of Ultra that collecting the core remnants of Darklops could be used to trace back to Kaiser Belial's headquarters, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly called out in Belial's ear.

"Father……"

"...Lyme?!"

The sound was extremely faint and distant, as if it came from a very far place, passing through layers of spatial barriers, leaving only a lingering echo sustained by a last vestige of obsession.

But every syllable pierced precisely into the softest part of Beria's heart, causing his skin to flush slightly...

Beria recognized the voice as a cry for help from a child desperately clinging to his father, using the last of his strength.

Even after being weakened by layers of obstruction, this fleeting call still carried an overwhelming sense of confusion and despair. It was enough for Belial to sense that the other person was on the verge of collapse, about to give up!

This caused Belial to abruptly raise his head, his body beginning to glow faintly with a golden light. Following the ethereal call, his gaze crossed the horizon of the Land of Light, tracing the dimensional portal Caesar Belial had deliberately opened to unleash Dark Lops. He projected his gaze onto a distant expanse of space that Belial should not have been able to see, yet which he now instinctively locked onto with pinpoint accuracy.

The next second, stemming from a father's worry and anxiety, Belial, without even realizing it, unleashed another hidden power within his body as the golden light shone ever brighter...

That is the power of the kingdom originating from Tartarus!

"Belial? What's wrong?"

Father of Ultra noticed Belial's unusual behavior immediately and instinctively followed Belial's gaze, looking up at him.

But from his perspective, there was nothing there, only a starry sky dimmed by the smoke of war, and a dimensional portal that was slowly closing in the distance. Even if he rushed in now, he wouldn't be able to find where Caesar Beria was hiding.

When Father of Ultra scratched his head, puzzled, and looked at Belial again, just as he was about to say something, he was struck dumb and stood there stunned!

From his perspective, Belial's body began to flicker rapidly, appearing semi-transparent and sometimes bright!

It was as if some force he had never encountered before was stripping Belial's existence from the current time and space!

"Belial—!"

"Uncle Bear—!!!"

Realizing that his beloved brother, who had finally returned, was about to disappear right under his nose again, Father of Ultra panicked! With a shrill cry, he rushed towards Belial without thinking, like a bolt of lightning striking at full speed! Instinctively, he reached out to grab Belial's shoulder, trying to keep his good brother with him.

Even the Ultra Brothers, who were originally enjoying watching the show, were stunned for a moment, then turned red-hot and flew desperately toward Belial!

Unexpectedly, even with the boost from their idealistic outburst, they achieved the fastest speed they had ever known.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Belial's figure, after one last flash, turned into specks of starlight and disappeared completely before their eyes without leaving a single word!

And just as they were at a loss, wondering why Belial had suddenly disappeared...

Suddenly, another curtain of light appeared in the sky.

When they instinctively looked closely, they spotted Belial's familiar figure!

Before they could even feel happy, they saw Belial absorb the energy of half a million portable miniature plasma sparks, and just like when he disappeared, his whole body radiated a dazzling golden light, roaring angrily.

"Ultra Bomb—!"

After that, as the footage continued to play, the stunned Ultras saw Belial pull Gua into a self-destruction to save the Land of Light, his life hanging by a thread.

Just at this critical juncture, Belial, who had fallen into a deep coma, whose body was riddled with holes and whose color timer was completely shattered, was treated like a trophy by Tartarus and the Reibrondo aliens, and was casually fought over and snatched away.

Until a spacetime rift appeared, swallowing Belial whole and teleporting him to the vicinity of the planet where Zero was. Upon awakening, Belial instinctively followed the distress signal he sensed and went to reunite with Zero…

Only then did the group realize that the content being shown on the screen was exactly what Belial, who had just disappeared, had actually experienced!

Then, one by one, their skin turned red, and hot steam rose continuously. Even Taro's entire body began to visibly radiate intense heat.

Father of Ultra, his face ashen, gripped the Ultimate Blade tightly in his hand and burst into a furious laugh.

"He actually forced my brother to almost self-destruct... Good... very good indeed..."

"Beria, is this what you call 'ran over here without a clue'? I should have realized it sooner. You never show your weakness..."

"But you may not care. But we cannot let this grudge go unavenged!"

"Pass on my orders! Immediately find out the exact time and location of the Gu A'san siblings' next reincarnation! And while you're at it, find out exactly who this guy who calls himself Tartarus is—!!!"

……

The story has two parts, on the other side...

……

On an unfamiliar planet, a figure that looks almost exactly like Geed, but whose overall color scheme is closer to Kaiser Belial and who is wearing the same cloak as Kaiser Belial, is using his overwhelming strength to single-handedly defeat a group of new generation Ultramen, including the original Geed.

"Yes...yes! That's more like it! This is the style of a dark emperor who rules the entire universe! It's all thanks to your cooperation, Geed. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have been able to collect enough Belial genetic material to create the strongest and most evil dark warrior after Belial! Hahahaha!"

Not far behind this eccentric "Ged," the Baltan alien was clapping his hands with delight, praising him repeatedly.

Not long ago, he impersonated Belial, falsely claiming that he had been affected by Geed's light power, cleared his name and regained his senses, and orchestrated a rescue for Geed, thus naturally getting close to Geed and collecting enough genetic material from him.

Thus, with his proud technology, he created Kaiser Geed in a short period of time. Kaiser Geed looks similar to Geed, but is stronger and has a more violent personality!

Now, noticing that Kaiser Geed is gathering energy, preparing to deliver the final blow to the new generation, the Baltan alien's smile widened. He slightly bent over, feigning regret, and continued speaking insincerely.

"What a pity, you could have shared this glory with me and revitalized His Majesty's empire... But now, I can only ask you to die, Ultraman Geed! Hahahaha—!"

"Damn it, it's all because of my stubbornness..."

Watching his comrades fall one by one, and hearing the Baltan alien's maniacal laughter echoing in his ears, Geed clenched his fists, filled with resentment. He had known the alien was an imposter the moment it appeared, but because of the strange light barrier, and in his desire to experience fatherly love he had never felt before, he had feigned ignorance, ignored his comrades' pleas, and fought alongside the alien, thus giving the imposter the opportunity to succeed in his scheme.

While taking the crisis his companions were facing as part of his own responsibility, Geed, who had struggled for a long time but still could not get up from the ground, couldn't help but think of the figure in the light screen who was supporting Zero and was completely different from the father he knew.

Then a bitter feeling welled up in his heart, and knowing it was impossible, he couldn't help but speak, muttering a call to himself.

"Father……"

"boom--!!!"

The next second, the figures of the new generation of Ultra Warriors were completely engulfed by the destructive beam released by Kaiser Geed.

The Baltan aliens, who had been eagerly anticipating this moment, couldn't help but spread their hands and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Success! Those damned Ultra Warriors are finally all wiped out! No one can stop us from dominating the entire universe now! Hahahaha! Hahaha... Hmm? Wait a minute... That... that's... How is this possible?!"

But, as they were laughing, the Baltan aliens suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Although Kaiser Geed's attack looked impressive, the Baltan aliens didn't hear a single scream from the new generation from beginning to end!

Thinking of this, the Baltan alien was filled with doubt and looked down, squinting to examine the scene closely. Only then did he belatedly realize that in the very center of Kaiser Geed's beam technique, there seemed to be a person standing vaguely.

The next second, before the Baltan alien could even get a good look, the figure suddenly swung his hand, and with his overwhelmingly powerful strength, he directly shattered Kaiser Geed's full-force attack!

This exposed the figure that had appeared out of nowhere to everyone's attention!

It was Belial who, after sensing Geed's cry for help, crossed the barriers of time and space to come to Geed's side and came specifically to help the child out of trouble!

"Lem...? Phew, it wasn't that, thank goodness..."

Meanwhile, after blocking Kaiser Geed's fatal blow, Belial anxiously looked around. Confirming that he couldn't see Rem anywhere and couldn't sense even the slightest energy fluctuation from him, he unexpectedly spotted Geed instead. Belial immediately realized he had misunderstood something and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, when faced with Geed staring blankly at him, as if wanting to reach out and touch him but also afraid that it was another sweet trap, he forced himself to support his heavily injured body and showed a stubborn look of vigilance.

Belial felt a sharp pain in his heart, his face turned ashen, and he turned back to look straight ahead.

After a brief glance around, he fixed his gaze on the Baltan alien with a clear focus and shouted in a cold voice, enunciating each word clearly.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened here, but..."

"Hey! You bastard over there! It was you who bullied my son, wasn't it!"

Note: This part of the plot is based on the stage play "Ultraman Zeta Stage Play EXPO THE LIVE 2021". To avoid any suspicion of filler content, you can search for and watch it on Bilibili to find out exactly what happened.

Chapter 67 Belial: You think you're the only one who can call for reinforcements?

"That tone... could it be...!"

Looking at Belial who suddenly appeared before him, not only did Belial help him block a fatal blow, but he also became furious after just a cursory glance, sternly questioning the Baltan alien. He acted as if he were a "father," standing up for Geed and venting his anger.

As Geed felt a strange sense of security, he couldn't help but compare the handsome and dashing figure in the Ultraman cape before him with the Belial whose fate was so different that he had seen him in that fleeting moment of light.

The wariness and hostility in his eyes quickly faded. He worried that his new father, lacking intelligence, might be ambushed by the Baltan aliens. Geed hurriedly mustered his strength and stumbled to his feet. Before Belial could rush out, he shouted a warning to him.

"Be careful, Father! The enemy has not only created a dark version of me, but also a large number of monster reinforcements! You alone may not be a match for him!"

"...Hehehehe! That's right! I almost forgot about that...Come forth! My monster army!"

Little did they know that Geed's reminder made Baltan, who had realized the moment Belial appeared that he was the real Belial and had begun to back down, suddenly understand.

Then, with a wave of his hand, accompanied by streaks of lightning, a large number of monsters began to appear one after another in front of Belial, quickly surrounding him and the Ultra Warriors behind him in the very center!

At a glance, Zetton, King Joe, Pandon, Black King... all one hundred monsters that Belial resurrected and controlled in the Monster Graveyard after stealing the Plasma Spark Core! Now, thanks to the technology of the Baltan aliens, they can be recreated here!

This clearly shows that this Baltan alien, like Fukuide Kei, is a fanatical believer who is captivated by Belial's... no, Caesar Belial's charm and is willing to swear allegiance to him and dedicate everything to him!

"Well, Your Majesty Belial, this is a special gift I prepared to revive the empire you built with your own hands!"

That's why, after regaining the courage to face Belial with this army of monsters they had hidden away, the Baltan aliens didn't rush to order the monsters to launch a full-scale attack.

Instead, he stared straight at Belial in front of him, spread his hands, and began to persuade himself.

"Although I don't know how you were resurrected, or how you ended up in this ugly and unsightly form... it's not too late. There's still some of the Reibrondo alien factor that was extracted from Ultraman Geed. That's enough for you to regain your lost power and become the dark emperor who once ruled the universe again!"

"What! Oh no! This guy...!"

Before Belial could say anything, Zero, who was standing not far behind him, was the first to get agitated.

Although it's unclear what got into Belial, he suddenly stepped in to help them...

But if you get him interested in the proposal and he agrees to the other party's request, he might just switch sides...

Everyone present will be in trouble!

"Damn it, is this all the energy left? I have to hit it right the first time, I can't afford to miss... Hmm? Hey, Geed, what do you mean by this?"

"..."

However, Zero, distrustful of Belial and on the verge of exhausting his last energy, decided to strike Belial first.

Geed, who had also heard Baltan's words, suddenly turned around and spread his arms, standing between Zero and Belial. As Zero anxiously questioned him, Geed looked at Zero with unwavering eyes, silently conveying his resolve and trust in Belial.

"...Conquer the universe? Dark Emperor? Ha, you seem to have misunderstood something. I am not that fool who has been blinded by power! Standing before you is Belial... Ultraman Belial! Geed's father!"

Belial, of course, also noticed Geed and Zero's little tricks. He grew to like this "son" more and more, and stopped deliberately keeping silent to scare the group of exhausted little brats.

He exuded an aura of righteous indignation, resolutely rejecting the Baltan alien's proposal and reaching out to summon the Giga Battle Device, which he had previously stored within his body, back into his hand.

"Furthermore, a so-called legion cannot be built up by sheer numbers... It must at least look like this!"

The moment the words fell, as starlight began to illuminate the top of the Giga Battle Device, one after another, the figures of Darklops began to materialize out of thin air around Belial!

In the blink of an eye, a hundred Darklops stood in neat rows behind Belial as Belial's most loyal personal guard!

Their perfectly synchronized movements and their cold, powerful aura were something even the Baltan aliens couldn't comprehend...

Even the mass-produced monsters, which lack independent consciousness and act entirely under the orders of the Baltan aliens, were now driven by instinctive fear, and amidst the rising and falling whimpers, they clearly took several steps back!
