Now, thanks to his precise timing, Belial has been transformed into a bronze statue. This means that the trap Tartarus initially thought would never be useful and which he had intended to remove, has inadvertently been used on Ken!
"Hoo...hoo...hehe, finally fell for it, huh? All that patience I put in wasn't for nothing...wait, what's going on? This can't be...Pfft—!!!!"
After witnessing firsthand how Ken's body was completely encased in the glass dome, and how even the inner walls were visibly covered by a special dark green asphalt, Tartarus finally caught his breath, a triumphant smile spreading across his face.
But before he could even rejoice for long, or even finish his sarcastic remark, Tartarus heard a clear, dull thud.
The next second, the glass cover, which was not indestructible but absolutely impossible to break from the inside, began to develop fine, spiderweb-like cracks.
Ultimately, before the joy in Tartarus's eyes could even fade...
After falling into the trap, Ken, who should have been completely powerless to resist, actually managed to smash the glass cover in front of him with his brute force!
Even with his vision obstructed, he relied entirely on sound to pinpoint the location. Following the direction from which Tartarus's mocking voice came, he took a step forward and kicked Tartarus, who was filled with disbelief, sending him tumbling to the ground!
When Tartarus, his face deathly pale, finally managed to steady himself and looked up in terror...
Despite having already turned most of his body into bronze, Ken walked out of the glass case wreckage as if nothing had happened, his golden cloak shining brightly as he easily resolved the crisis of bronze transformation right in front of Tartarus!
"...Heh...Hehe...Hahahaha, they even managed to get out of there...Hahahaha..."
He watched as Ken, wielding the ultimate blade, approached him step by step like a deadly grim reaper.
After a brief silence, Tartarus pointed at Jian and burst into hearty laughter.
Until Jian's figure vanished in a blur, carrying an unstoppable momentum, he transformed into a humanoid form and charged towards Tartarus!
Knowing he had no time to dodge, Tartarus switched from a smile to a bitter face, muttering to himself.
"...Damn it, I hate numerical monsters."
On the other side of the battlefield...
At this moment, Rem, relying on the combat skills that Belial had taught her, cleanly and efficiently tore the Hipporito alien to pieces before it could escape in the chaos, realizing that something was wrong!
Im, preoccupied with saving lives, remained completely unmoved, not even bothering to glance at the Hipporito's corpse. After merely confirming, using Silver Cross methods, that the Hipporito, reduced to a pile of mangled flesh, had completely lost all signs of life, Im immediately turned away. With his fingers curled into claws, he used energy claws identical to Belial's to shatter the glass dome before him, allowing him to examine Keiser Geed up close—who, like Belial, had completely reached bronze-level transformation.
After a brief period of exploration and observation, Rem quickly determined, based on the experience he had gained from the previous invasion of the Land of Light by the Gua Empire, which forced him to frequently shuttle across the battlefield to rescue the wounded, that Kaiser Geed had not really become a "bronze statue," but was merely encased in a layer of special asphalt and trapped inside.
First, he used Ultra Spray to wash away the asphalt covering the surface, revealing Kaiser Geed's true form. After confirming that the other party did not appear to have suffered any fatal injuries, but was simply completely depleted of energy, Rem took a portable miniature plasma spark from his "necklace." He condensed, purified, and compressed the energy stored inside until it turned into a ball of light, which he then injected into Kaiser Geed's color timer.
The light sphere was rapidly absorbed the moment it came into contact with the surface of the color timer, just like water seeping into a sponge.
The silvery-white light spread rapidly from the Kaisergeid color timer to every part of the body.
Just a few breaths later, not only did the previously dim color timer regain its bright blue light, but even Kaiser Geed's hands visibly trembled and twitched instinctively.
"Great, this method really works! I just wonder if there are any side effects... hmm?"
Seeing this, Lyme, who had been on tenterhooks, finally breathed a sigh of relief. His face lit up with joy, and he muttered to himself, unable to resist moving closer to confirm the feasibility of this rescue plan through further observation.
But before Lem could get a good look...
As the crimson color returned to his eyes, he suddenly swung his right hand and grabbed at Lyme's head without warning!
Because his memory was fragmented after he was transformed into bronze, Kaiser Geed only remembered that he was ambushed by the Hipporito aliens.
So much so that the moment Kaisergeid regained consciousness and sensed the approaching presence of a stranger, he instinctively mistook it for an accomplice of the Hipporito aliens.
Therefore, based on the principle of striking first, they decisively launched an attack on the "enemy" in front of them!
However, the newly born Kaiser Geed clearly did not know what the bloodline suppression from the eldest son meant.
This sudden attack was indeed beyond Lyme's expectations.
As the eldest son who followed Belial the earliest among the children and was personally trained by him, Rem possessed a fighting spirit ingrained in his very being. This allowed him to act decisively before his mind could even process what was happening!
Lem stepped to the side with his right leg, his entire body rotating at a slight angle to avoid the trajectory of the claw.
At the same time, Lem's left hand reached out, his five fingers precisely gripping Kaisergeid's right wrist, which had missed its target and couldn't retract in time. Thanks to his father's teachings and the knowledge he gained from the Silver Cross, a mere light press of his thumb and forefinger sent a sudden numbness through Kaisergeid's dominant right arm, leaving him stunned and unable to muster any strength!
Unexpectedly, Rem's true intention was to subdue Kaiser Geed and then declare that he had no ill intentions and had come to save him.
Unfortunately, Kaiser Geed, a mere "warrior" who didn't recognize Rem at all, mistook Rem's leniency for a provocation from an "enemy"! He saw it as a sarcastic signal that Rem could manipulate him even without fighting!
This prompted Kaiser Geed to decisively twist his arm and shift his body to the side. He attempted to break free of Rem's restraints through close-quarters combat techniques, while simultaneously taking Rem hostage!
Unexpectedly, Rem merely took half a step forward, raising his knee to strike Kaiser Geed's back, and simultaneously hooking his temporarily powerless right arm behind Kaiser Geed's back. With precise control of the force, he disrupted Kaiser Geed's balance. The impact caused Kaiser Geed's body to tilt forward several degrees, seemingly about to make intimate contact with the ground and land face-first in a pathetic fashion!
As a result, Kaisergeid had no choice but to abandon his original plan and instead extend his left hand to try to support himself on the ground and regain his balance.
However, this was also part of Lem's calculations!
Almost the instant Kaiser Geed reached out, Rem swiftly seized his hand, grabbing it firmly in his palm. With a muffled groan of pain from Kaiser Geed, Rem skillfully dislocated his wrist, leaving it limp and dislocated, while simultaneously twisting it and his left arm behind his back. He had Kaiser Geed pinned to the ground!
"Calm down, I'm not your enemy, I'm the one who saved you."
At first, Kaisergeid tried to fight back with brute force.
Unfortunately, Rem, who was trained by Belial and also studied medicine, possessed precise and ruthless grappling skills! Every point of force he applied was precisely placed at the weakest point where Kaiser Geed could exert force! This left Rem with all his stats but no chance to use them! He could only let out unwilling roars and struggle desperately.
Rem finally found an opportunity to make Kaiser Geed listen to him, and then he revealed the truth about how he saved Kaiser Geed.
After a slight pause, Kaiser Geed sensed that Rem was completely different from the Hipporito aliens and exuded a warm aura that was extremely similar to Belial's, and slowly calmed down.
Finally, after Lem was certain that Kaiser Geed had calmed down and would not attack him rashly again, he took the initiative to set Geed's dislocated wrist, then released him, further demonstrating his goodwill.
Kaisergeid, having stood up again, rubbed his still numb wrists and curiously examined Lyme in front of him.
After a brief silence, with a hint of apprehension and lingering fear in his eyes, he cautiously asked.
"Who... are you...?"
"Me? Well, how should I put it... By the way, you should know my father, right?"
When asked by Kaiser Geed, Lem pondered briefly before introducing himself with overflowing pride and self-assurance.
"My name is Rem, and I'm Ultraman Belial's daughter~"
"So you're Father's daughter, and you seem even more capable than me... Then I should call you... Sister? Hahaha! Great! I have a sister now—!!!"
Listening to Lem's self-introduction, Kaiser Geed looked like he understood but didn't quite, and fell into deep thought.
After muttering to himself intermittently for a while, Kaiser Geed's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some incredible secret. Not only did his gaze towards Rem no longer hold any hostility, but he also threw himself into Rem's arms, jumping and shouting enthusiastically.
"Yes, that's it... Wait, why are you calling me 'sister'? And what about your appearance..."
At first, influenced by Belial, Rem, who had a bit of a doting attitude towards children, subconsciously caught Kaiser Geed and rubbed his head.
But when he belatedly realized what Kaiser Geed had said, Rem's smile froze on his face.
He immediately lowered his head and scrutinized Kaiser Geed closely with a look of utter disbelief. He discovered that this child, whom he had never met before, did indeed bear a striking resemblance to his father.
Lem froze, as if struck by lightning.
No, what's going on?
Isn't Uncle Jian the only "enemy" we should be wary of?
What do you mean, "It's only been a year, and I've already got another little brother?!"
Who?! Who is this shameless bastard who seduced my incredibly handsome father while I was busy searching for him?! And their child is already so big—!
Ah! You damned Tartarus! You bastard Reiblood! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you two bastards, how could the King have accidentally lost his father! And how could I have suddenly gained another little brother—!
I'll tie you all together... and kill you a thousand times, and it still won't be enough—!!!
As his mind raced, Lyme felt his brain go blank and shut down.
Until the sad melody of "Snowflakes fluttering, north wind howling" inexplicably echoed in my ears.
Lem then released Kaisergeid, clutching his chest as if shot, and staggered back several steps in disbelief.
Finally, he collapsed to his knees with a thud, clutching his head with both hands, and let out a series of mournful cries tinged with anger.
"Oh no—!!!!!"

----------------
When Lym's mournful cries echoed across the battlefield, the anger and despair in his voice were so intense that even Ken, who was chasing Tartarus in the distance, couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.
That murderous gaze, while briefly revealing a clear-eyed stupidity, also raised a series of question marks above his head.
hiss……
I didn't sense any hostility over there.
Why is Lyme suddenly screaming so pitifully, as if someone has stabbed her in the heart?
But this thought only lingered for a brief moment.
After confirming that Lem's vital signs were stable and he didn't seem to be in any trouble, Ken's attention was once again drawn back to the golden figure who was slumped on the ground, crouching and covering his head, acting as a punching bag.
In Ken's hands, the Ultimate Blade was like a giant brick, which he swung around again and swung at Tartarus! Tartarus was so frightened that he rolled and dodged in a sorry state as the giant blade, which was wrapped in silver light, pursued him.
At this moment, Tartarus was covered in blood and looked extremely miserable. His breathing was also unusually heavy and rapid, like a broken bellows.
At this point, Tartarus had to force himself to face the fact that he could no longer take Belial away today.
Having narrowly dodged the fatal blow and avoided a scene reminiscent of Louis XVI, Tartarus's gaze, filled with deep resentment, lingered on the bronze statue of Beria for a fleeting moment.
Then, knowing that he didn't possess Diablo's special ability to regenerate as long as his heart remained intact, Tartarus, in order to ensure his continued survival and service to the kingdom, dared not hold back any longer. His eyes narrowed, his entire body shone with golden light, and he activated his strongest, life-risking mode!
At the same time, Ken's ultimate blade had already slashed directly above Tartarus's head.
This time, however, the holy sword, wrapped in silvery light, was forced back several inches when it came into contact with the boiling golden aura surrounding Tartarus, catching Jian completely off guard.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tartarus lunged forward. With his golden palms, he slammed them heavily into Jian's chest, causing the numerical monster to finally retreat two or three steps since the start of the battle!
Of course, after successfully repelling Jian, Tartarus didn't even have time to feel happy. He immediately pushed his speed to the limit, turned around without hesitation, and his golden figure, wrapped in the enormous energy brought by burning his life, transformed into a dazzling meteor, sweeping across the devastated battlefield and sprinting towards the direction of Lem!
He knew very well that once Ken, this numerical monster, recovered, even if he activated his life-risking mode, he would have a hard time escaping from Ken's grasp!
Therefore, he had to grab Lyme before Ken could react and take him hostage!
At that point, not only would Jian be hesitant to act rashly, but he would also be forced to watch Tartarus escape...
Once he successfully brings Ryme back to the kingdom, even if Ken successfully rescues Belial, Belial will eventually walk into the trap he has set in order to save his beloved daughter!
Thinking about it this way...
It seems I should have chosen to catch Lyme from the beginning?
Not only is the risk far lower than capturing Princess Julian, but the rewards are also comparable, or even potentially higher.
Just as Tartarus was plotting his next move and closing in on Lem, Lem, personally trained by Belial, immediately sensed the impending danger.
Unfortunately, Lyme was no match for Tartarus. Even if he turned and ran immediately, he would only be caught and captured by Tartarus...
More importantly, although Lyme outwardly seemed to find it difficult to accept having a younger brother out of nowhere.
But Belial taught her very well, so that she possessed the same Ultra spirit that no one could rival, just like when she knew she was no match on the battlefield but still took the initiative to challenge Mold for the safety of others!
Thus, Rem perfectly inherited her father's tsundere nature, seemingly complaining but instantly accepting the fact that she's now the older sister. Without knowing the full extent of Kaiser Geed's power, she decisively chose to confront Tartarus head-on to protect this unfamiliar younger brother!
Lem extended his right arm and shielded Kaisergeid, who was also sensing the approaching danger and was tense and panting, behind him.
With her right hand, she took off the glittering "necklace" hanging around her neck.
Just wait for Tartarus to enter the attack range, then use an instant-explosion grenade to detonate all the portable mini plasma sparks that Belial left her!
Taking advantage of this brief moment, he grabbed Kaiser Geed and quickly ran towards Ken's side!
Of course, given Tartarus's speed, Lym's quick mental calculations and the timing of his attack would still place him and Kaiser Geed within the blast radius.
That's why Rem shielded Kaiser Geed behind him, prepared to use his own body to take the first wave of the explosion for his younger brother!
In this way, even if one cannot withstand the force of the explosion and dies on the spot...
That way, at least his younger brother's life could be saved, and he wouldn't have to worry about becoming a hostage like he had with Mold before. This would prevent Uncle Jian from feeling constrained and, like his father, from finding himself in a dangerous situation!
"Heh, she's just as good as my daughter..."
