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

Meanwhile, the Baltan alien stood on the other side of the glass dome, struggling to hold a broken arm of King Joe that he had somehow found, and huffed and puffed as he smashed it against the glass dome!

This perfectly illustrates a saying...

If a child is quiet, they must be up to no good!

These three, who should have fought alongside the Ultra Brothers, vanished from the battlefield as if deserting, suddenly becoming virtually invisible. This was the very source of Geed's earlier feeling that he had forgotten something!

Even Tartarus, like Geed, had momentarily forgotten the existence of these three! And after surveying the battlefield with his own eyes, he naturally regarded Geed as the last threat!

This gave the three, who had been as careful as possible and had slowly made their way here, the opportunity to shatter the glass dome right under Tartarus's nose!

Even by the time the two turned around, the glass enclosure containing Belial had already been mostly dismantled by such brutal means!

If Tartarus had reacted even a fraction slower, Zeta and Rob would have already shared their energy with Belial, thus bringing this top-tier demon lord, who had been accidentally tricked and forced offline, back onto the battlefield!

"Stop it, all of you!"

The thought of Belial possibly returning to the battlefield brought a sudden, hurried, and panicked tone to Tartarus's voice for the first time.

He withdrew his right hand, which was originally intended to strike Geed, and swung it sharply towards the glass dome. A large amount of golden lightning spread out in a fan shape, crashing down on Rob and the others.

The three, still basking in the joy of shattering the glass dome, were clearly caught off guard by Tartarus's sudden attack. Before they could even assume a defensive stance, they turned their heads at the sound of the attack, exclaiming in unison, "Huh?", as Tartarus blasted them away! After tumbling several times in the air, they crashed heavily into piles of rubble in different directions, raising clouds of gray dust.

Fortunately, although these guys don't seem very reliable, they each have their own unique strengths.

As a combined Ultraman, Ultraman R/B stabilized his spinning body in mid-air and landed smoothly thanks to his powerful strength.

The Baltan alien, acting on instinct to avoid harm, decisively hid behind Zeta the instant the attack struck. Then, as Zeta turned around in confusion, the Baltan alien was blasted away along with Zeta, successfully avoiding a significant amount of damage!

So, don't be fooled by how pitifully Baltan screamed when he was knocked away. In reality, he only suffered minor injuries and was not seriously hurt at all.

As for Zeta...

Well, you can say the child is silly...

Ah, no...

You could say this kid is honest and kind, or you could say that Ultraman Zeta is too weak right now; any enemy could easily crush him.

But you can never doubt just how tough Zeta really is!

Zeta, relying on his ridiculously thick health bar, unwittingly became a meat shield, taking the most and most direct hits among the three.

The young body, which had not yet had a chance to experience the trials of real combat, was almost completely washed over by a golden torrent of energy in that instant.

Under normal circumstances, facing an attack of this level, any Ultra Warrior of equal or even greater strength than Zeta would, even if they weren't immediately knocked out and forced to "fall asleep on the spot!", would at least have their color timer turn from blue to red and would need to lie down for a while to recover!

Kozeta was sent flying, tumbling several times in the air before crashing into a pile of rubble. Incredibly, less than two breaths later, she was the first to struggle back to her feet from the rubble!

The movements were fluid and natural, without the slightest sense of strain.

After standing up, he tilted his head, looking completely bewildered, as if asking, "What happened?"

Clearly, Zeta, whose attention was drawn to the Baltan alien's little tricks, didn't even know why he had suddenly taken to the air!

This outrageous behavior completely baffled Tartarus!

He couldn't help but look down at his own hands.

I'd rather suspect that I didn't use enough force in my haste...

He couldn't believe that his attack posed absolutely no threat to Zeta!

The only saving grace was that he finally managed to drive those three guys who appeared out of nowhere away from Belial, preventing the situation from escalating to the worst possible state.

Just as Tartarus was feeling a mixture of joy and anger, and subconsciously took a step forward, ready to finish off Rob and the others, Geed had already launched another attack on Tartarus! The top of the Giga Final Riser glowed red as it slammed heavily towards Tartarus's side!

That was a powerful move that killed Bai Bei in one strike. Even someone as strong as Tartarus had to stop his steps and sidestep the incoming attack!

--------

--------

Hey, let me see how many people have forgotten about these three (or four?) people!

Chapter 91 Jian: You know what, this bronze statue is quite accurate... What do you mean, "This is my brother?"

Tartarus raised his left arm, and a golden energy barrier unfolded on his side.

In this way, although the Giga Final Ascendant shattered into dazzling spectacle upon impact with the barrier, it also absorbed most of the impact force. The remaining force struck Tartarus's arm armor, merely causing Tartarus's hand to tilt downwards by half an inch.

That half-inch shift was clearly not enough to make him lose his balance. Even while blocking Geed's attack, his right hand simultaneously gathered energy in his palm and slashed back at Geed's chest!

Meanwhile, Geed, relying on his old techniques, was too slow to adjust his stance and dodge Tartarus's counterattack, even though he noticed it. He could only forcefully press down on the Giga Final Riser, using the shaft of his staff to intercept the attack.

But soon, Geed realized why Zero, who had activated his new form, couldn't defeat the unfamiliar golden statue in front of him.

Despite being unarmed, Tartarus's right palm emitted a piercing clang the moment it collided with the Giga Final Ascendant. Geed's body was even forced back several steps by the powerful force!

Tartarus also took this opportunity to gather energy once more, preparing to unleash Absolute Destruction to eliminate Geed directly, before turning his attention to destroying the troublesome Rob and the others.

But at that very moment, a beam of azure energy suddenly shot straight into the sky from a corner of the battlefield! It pierced through the thick layer of volcanic ash that had covered the entire battlefield, creating a huge hole.

In an instant, a hole was torn in the gray sky, and dazzling blue light poured down through the hole, illuminating the entire battlefield as bright as day.

This caused Tartarus to pause in his actions. With a strong sense of foreboding arising from his instincts, he shifted his gaze from Geed and looked towards the source of the azure beam of light shooting straight into the sky. There he saw Hikari, who, like Rob and the others, had disappeared at some point, appearing in front of a strange machine.

Of course, that machine wasn't originally on this planet. Hikari took advantage of the Ultra Brothers' battle with the monster army to sneak in and rummage through the wreckage of the mechanical monsters, collecting the necessary materials one by one, and then painstakingly handcrafting it.

Therefore, as a hastily assembled device, it is not inherently lethal and has only one function...

That is, while breaking through the spatial barrier, using the signal frequency that only the Land of Light can decipher, Hikari collected the energy aura when he first appeared in Belial and saved Geed and the others, along with the specific coordinates of this universe, and spread it rapidly to countless parallel universes!

That's where Hikari's brilliance lies!

When he saw Belial being ambushed, he was somewhat anxious, but he immediately realized that since Tartarus dared to attack Belial, the forces behind him must be extraordinary and far beyond what their small force could easily handle.

Instead of acting like a reckless fool and engaging Tartarus in direct combat, we should try to find a way to bring in reinforcements!

But where will the reinforcements come from...?

The fact that the Ultra Brothers, who had only met once, were so anxious when they saw Belial being ambushed shows just how powerful Belial's charisma is!

If we could find a way to spread news of Belial's danger to his original universe...

Surely someone connected to Belial would try their best to come and save him immediately, wouldn't they?

As for why they didn't just send the Ultra Signature directly to the Land of Light for help?

It wasn't that Hikari forgot; it was because there was no need for it.

Do you remember what Hikari said before, that he would transmit the scene of Seven being humiliated in public back to the Land of Light in real time?

Back then, the Father of Ultra of this universe was so excited that he became incoherent. He hurriedly uttered a sentence on the spot, asking Hikari to follow Belial closely, and then he fell silent.

He's probably already on his way to personally welcome Belial back to the Land of Light. Sending another Ultra Sign for help would be completely unnecessary and could easily arouse Tartarus's suspicion, causing him to leave with Belial ahead of time.

Hikari estimated that Father of Ultra should be arriving soon, but Geed and the others were clearly no match for Tartarus. Left with no other choice, he could only use this method to draw Tartarus's attention to himself, hoping that the Land of Light in the parallel universe, as he suspected, would value Belial and be willing to lend a helping hand.

Of course, if I'm wrong, the other side doesn't intend to come to rescue Belial...

Then all we can do is try our best, using our "power that isn't as strong as the Ultra Brothers'", to stall for as long as we can!

"What are you doing?!"

Just as Hikari had guessed, Tartarus could not understand the working principle of the device that Hikari had pieced together, but he could feel the beam of light shooting into the sky, like a lighthouse in the darkness, constantly sending out some kind of signal!

This intensified Tartarus's ominous premonition. Enraged, he redirected the Absolute Destruction, originally intended to kill Geed, and launched it at Hikari and the mechanical devices beside him from a distance!

"Tch, still can't catch up..."

Seeing this, Hikari's heart sank.

He had personally witnessed Tartarus use this move to turn Zero, who had activated his new form, into a rolling gourd!

He could easily imagine that, not only was he currently weakened after investing most of his energy to activate the machine, but he was also in a state of exhaustion...

Even at their peak energy level, they would never be a match for this attack!

Even so, looking at Zero and the others who had lost their fighting ability, and then at Geed and the others who were still fighting...

Hikari didn't allow himself to retreat even a step. Instead, he displayed the fierce aura of a cosmic swordsman. With a graceful swing of his right hand, he channeled all his remaining energy into his knightly aura, transforming it into a golden lightsaber. He was prepared to risk everything to intercept the oncoming attack, hoping to extend the distress signal's reach across the parallel universe by even a second!

"—Hmm? Wait a minute, this energy fluctuation is…the King?!"

But just before Hikari's lightsaber was about to collide with Absolute Destruction, his movements suddenly stopped.

Because he had once been in contact with the King of Ultra, he keenly sensed the energy fluctuations belonging to the King of Ultra, which were suddenly appearing from his side!

Then, feeling both surprised and delighted, he thought that the King of Ultra had finally intervened and personally appeared to save the day. He instinctively turned his head to look, but...

Hikari then saw the space beside him rippling with layers of patterns, like water ripples.

Immediately afterwards, two figures in silver and red appeared one after the other from the surging spatial ripples.

The figure at the very front was tall and strong, with a white exterior and red interior, and a king's cloak with gold shoulder guards. The cloak had not yet completely fallen down in the aftershocks of the journey through time and space, and it fluttered behind the newcomer without any wind.

The figure, though still unsure of where it had transmigrated to, instinctively sensed a dangerous aura rapidly approaching it.

So, without a second thought, he, who always preferred to use his muscles instead of thinking, grabbed the Ultimate Blade hanging at his waist.

Drawing the sword, turning around, slashing... the three movements were filled with the beauty of power! It slashed down on the golden energy sphere without flinching!

In the instant of contact, the sharp blade sliced ​​through the absolute destruction that was the culmination of Tartarus's full-force attack in two, as if cutting through soft mud! It forcibly altered the trajectory of the attack, sending it hurtling past the two sides of the area where Tartarus was standing!

Immediately afterward, the energy balance was completely disrupted. The sphere of light had only flown a short distance when it exploded behind Tartarus, meeting his incredulous gaze! This caused Hikari, who was already in a weakened state, to stumble and fall to the ground uncontrollably!

The two figures standing directly in front of the explosion's epicenter seemed completely unaffected by the impact, not even trembling in their feet!

"That's strange. I clearly sensed Belial's presence, but I couldn't see him, and I almost got attacked for no reason..."

The next second, the figure with a pair of large horns casually hung the Ultimate Blade at his waist as if it were just a trivial matter. Then, he looked around at the devastated battlefield, his gaze quickly sweeping over everyone, finally settling on Hikari standing beside him, staring at him with a dumbfounded expression.

He then looked Hikari up and down, confirming the Blue Clan's features, and glanced at the mechanical device to Hikari's left that was still continuously emitting signal waves. After confirming he hadn't gone to the wrong place, he greeted Hikari with an overly familiar and enthusiastic tone.

"It seems you must be a member of the Blue Clan from the Land of Light, right? Was it you who sent the signal? Do you know where Belial is, or where he went?"

As they spoke, the other person paused noticeably, their gaze lingering on Hikari's face, who was frozen in shock upon recognizing them. They held this gaze for two breaths. Then, puzzled, they raised their hand, habitually scratching their large horn, muttering to themselves.

"...Wait, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Hikari's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, his entire body frozen in place as if someone had pressed the pause button. His brain was working at an overloaded speed, trying to process the scene before him...

Finally, Hikari, feeling his mouth was about to give way, managed to squeeze out a sentence. His voice cracked clearly from shock.

"B-B-B-B-Captain...?!"

That's right! The person standing in front of Hikari right now is none other than Father of Ultra, whom Hikari knows well!

However, this seems to differ considerably from the Father of Ultra that Hikari remembered...

For example, while both he and Father of Ultra possess the Ultimate Blade as weapons, their personalities are far less mature, composed, and reliable than Father of Ultra's. Furthermore, the cape he wears is not the standard cape reserved for the captain of the Land of Light's Space Garrison, but rather the King's Cape, a gift from the King of Ultra himself, unique to Leo!

And the person standing next to this "Father of Ultra" is not the Mother of Ultra I remember.

Instead, she was covered in miniature plasma sparks, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations, making her a strange female Ultraman who resembled a humanoid walking plasma spark tower!

That's when Hikari, in the instant he instinctively spoke, belatedly felt a surge of relief, realizing that his plan had succeeded!

He really did summon reinforcements from a parallel universe at this critical moment!

But at the same time, Hikari couldn't help but become increasingly curious about Belial...

Although he had long anticipated that once the signal was sent out, someone who was on good terms with Beria would definitely travel through time to come and provide support...

But to everyone's surprise, it was Ultraman's father, who was the captain, who personally took action!

Then, recalling his own impression of Belial, the malevolent and despicable figure who nearly destroyed the entire universe on several occasions, and the Father of Ultra who rushed here upon learning of Belial's existence…

Could it be that in countless parallel universes, beings like this Belial are truly rare...?

Of course, just as Hikari had guessed, the people standing in front of him were Ken and Rem, who were frantically searching for someone!

It's worth mentioning that, in Belial's view, he only has a little over a month left before he travels to other parallel universes...

However, due to the different flow of time, Ken and Rem, who constantly traveled between various parallel universes, spent a whole year searching for Belial! During this process, as members of the Ultra race with long lifespans and near-infinite existence, they experienced the despair of repeated failed searches—either finding no clues at all, or finally following the clues all the way to the Land of Light in their current universe, only to be met with Belial's inexplicable disappearance right before their eyes! They finally tasted for the first time what it meant to experience the ultimate torment of "every second feeling like a year"!

That's why, upon receiving the signal Hikari sent, they rushed over immediately, regardless of whether it was a trap set by the enemy! By sheer coincidence, they ended up saving Hikari's life!

"Hmm? You seem to... know me? Hahaha, then you should have realized that I'm just an alternate version of myself from a parallel universe."

Upon hearing Hikari's exclamation, Ken was indeed taken aback.

He tilted his head slightly, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes. He was clearly quite satisfied with the fact that "even in a parallel universe, someone knows me. It seems that 'I' have been doing pretty well all these years!"

But soon, Ken, while calling to Lyme to catch a mini plasma spark thrown at him and recharge Hikari's energy, cheerfully spoke with genuine pride and sincerity.
