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

But just as Lem steeled himself, prepared for the worst, and was about to press the detonation button, a familiar, both relieved and helpless tone suddenly reached his ears.

When Lem paused for a moment, his eyes lit up with surprise and delight as he turned to look at the source of the sound.

Then they saw Belial, who was still in his bronze form, appear beside Lym before Tartarus could even react!

Then, meeting Tartarus's astonished gaze, he delivered a simple, unadorned straight punch, imbued with the unrefined, numerical beauty of the older generation, striking Tartarus precisely and elegantly on the bridge of his nose!

The instant of contact, Tartarus's face cracked with a dull thud as the fist struck, bones dislocating. His momentum, which had been about to grab Lym, was abruptly blasted back by the terrifying force, sending him flying uncontrollably backward at an even greater speed than he had come!

Finally, after tumbling countless times in the air, Ken arrived and delivered a savage charge filled with rage, his horn piercing Tartarus's body. He then shook Tartarus's head and slammed him to the ground, creating a bottomless, human-shaped crater!

Without even bothering to confirm whether Tartarus was alive or dead, Ken looked towards Rem's side, where Belial was visibly reverting to his bronze form without any external assistance. His eyes filled with joy, and he shouted happily.

"Hahahaha! I knew it, Belial, you're alright! It was all an act! That thing could even shatter me, how could you be completely helpless!"

"How dare you say that? You've ruined my plans, you stupid ox!"

Seeing Rem's figure and hearing the familiar calls in his ears, Belial knew that these were his good brothers and daughters from the universe who had never given up searching for him and had finally found him here. Belial felt both moved and satisfied.

But outwardly, he still reached out, acting as the creator, to restore the "necklace," which was on the verge of exploding at any moment, to a safe state of stable energy. Meanwhile, with one hand on his hip, he stared at Ken from afar, grumbling irritably.

"I was originally planning to play the sweet card with him, waiting for Tartarus to bring me back to the kingdom so I could destroy his base and eliminate his threat to the various parallel universes at its root... But of all times, you guys had to come now."

"Huh? Doesn't that mean we meant well but did something wrong...?!"

Upon hearing this, Rem, who had been staring at Belial with shining eyes, immediately panicked. He gestured with his hands, instinctively wanting to apologize to Belial.

But the old father reached out first and covered his daughter's mouth with his index finger, stopping her from continuing.

Then, with a doting smile, he reassured her, word by word.

"It's alright, just consider it bad luck, or perhaps the kingdom's fate is not yet sealed."

"After all, if I were to stand by and watch my two children be in danger for the sake of some so-called plan, would I still be worthy of being a father?"

"dad……"

The moment the words fell, both Rem and Kaiser Geed trembled, their gazes toward Belial growing increasingly adoring and dependent.

However, what Beria didn't notice was...

Although these words, which may have carried a hint of deliberately showing off, were not intended to target anyone in particular.

But after exhausting themselves, the Ultra Brothers, who were lying on the ground in twos and threes watching the battle, all turned their gazes to Zoffy without prior agreement.

Taro, in particular, clearly recalled a "wonderful memory" from his time training on Earth. A hint of melancholy lingered in his eyes.

Zoffy immediately broke out in a cold sweat and guiltily turned his head away, not daring to make any eye contact with Taro!

after all……

Back when the Alien Empire was wreaking havoc on Earth, Taro had already started crying for help. Zoffy, however, thought this showed Taro was too reliant on his brothers and insisted on preventing them from helping, watching helplessly as Taro was "killed" by the Alien Empire.

If it weren't for Taro's quick thinking in shrinking his size and faking his death to escape...

Taro has probably been reincarnated countless times on Earth by now!

Chapter 95 So you think you're the only one who can call for backup?

[Thanks to group member "I'm Not a Noob" for the generous donation! An extra update for this gift!]

As for Belial, who had already been completely transformed into bronze, how did he regain the ability to move freely without anyone else helping to replenish his energy...?

Don't forget, the Belial who previously fought in place of the Dark Ones, just like Emperor Alien, once had subordinates known as the Dark Four Heavenly Kings. One of them was Hipporito Alien!

Even the "senior" that Old Man Bei mentioned is actually a special being who occasionally turns himself into a stone statue to fool children... ugh! To test whether humanity is worth saving!

Therefore, Belial already has a mature and effective plan for how to defend against and deal with the Bronze Transformation, which clearly has the special attack effect of the Ultra Clan!

With this plan, Berlusconi, who was to some extent immune to the effects of bronze transformation, began his Oscar-worthy performance. In front of Tartarus and the others, he began to struggle in various painful ways, gradually transforming into the appearance of a bronze statue.

Furthermore, because his acting was so realistic, not only Tartarus and others, but even Geed and his allies, did not notice anything unusual. They all believed that Belial had been turned into a bronze statue and had become a "princess" in need of rescue.

This is why Belial, who had turned into a bronze statue, suddenly trembled violently when Caesar Geed fell into the trap set by the Hipporito aliens.

Clearly, the overprotective father, if it weren't for seeing Geed prove himself by taking down Whitebeard and noticing Hikari and the others' underhanded tactics...

I'm afraid they would have already acted prematurely, just like they have now, revealing the truth that they weren't being controlled!

Until that cowardly calf, Ken, with sheer brute force, shattered the glass dome in front of everyone. Beria's heart sank; he knew he couldn't keep up the act any longer.

Once Tartarus calmed down, he only needed to think about it for a moment to realize that since Ken could shatter the glass dome, there was no reason why Belial, who was also a numerical monster, would be captured by him so easily!

Left with no other choice, Beria had to change his mind and remove his disguise ahead of schedule.

...It's definitely not because the father, who was already struggling to suppress his protective instincts, was about to lose his temper when he saw his beloved daughter about to put herself in danger again!

"Damn it! Belial! You...were you deliberately toying with me from the very beginning?!"

Just as Belial was calming his two little ones down, Tartarus emerged from underground after traveling hundreds of meters underground and keeping a distance from Ken!

Blood mixed with dirt stained Tartarus, making him look even more disheveled. Only his eyes, no longer elegant and composed, but filled with resentment, remained fixed on Belial's figure. Gritting his teeth, he questioned Belial, venting his pent-up anger, while Tartarus's mind raced.

It was only because Tartarus gazed at that figure—who, despite being successfully outmaneuvered, imprisoned for so long, and theoretically weakened, yet appearing more composed than anyone else—that he finally understood…

The Belial before my eyes is indeed fundamentally different from the White Belial in many parallel universes.

That is why Belial could never obediently join their kingdom like White Belial!

What's even more critical is that Belial's growth rate far exceeded Tartarus's expectations!

When Belial was first encountered, he was struggling even against the Indian siblings. He needed to use a reckless, self-destructive fighting style to make the Indian siblings hesitate and not dare to engage him in direct combat.

Judging from the energy fluctuations on Belial's body, only a little over a month has passed since he fell into the spatial rift and disappeared, and his strength has undergone earth-shattering changes!

Even when facing formidable opponents who had once given them a major headache, they were able to completely overwhelm them, easily defeating Mold!

This was enough for Tartarus to realize that if he couldn't bring Belial into the kingdom's camp...

Then we must completely eliminate him before he grows any further!

Otherwise, Tartarus and Reiblood would have already deeply offended Belial during their struggle for him, and Ken has already demonstrated his ability to freely travel between parallel universes...

All of Tartarus's plans in the many parallel universes will collapse because of this variable!

Thinking of this, Tartarus suddenly opened his arms. Golden energy surged from his palms, instantly unfolding one portal after another behind him.

Those portals were even larger than those used during the siege of the Ultra Brothers, with dense golden arcs of electricity surging around their edges, and the light surging within the portal frames was so intense that it was almost tangible.

One, two, four... The moment the eighth portal opened behind Tartarus, the entire battlefield's sky was covered by a surge of golden light.

Immediately afterwards, uniformly dressed golden soldiers surged out of the eight doors like a flood bursting its banks. Within just a few breaths, the densely packed golden figures filled the entire area behind Tartarus, forming a magnificent, orderly legion!

Immediately afterwards, Titan, who, like Tartarus, was also a member of the Kingdom's staff, slowly stepped out from the first portal.

He held his usual slender, sharp blade horizontally in his hand. A cold, sharp light flowed across the blade, and the instant he stepped out the door, it was already slightly raised, pointing at Ken, who also held a sharp sword.

Clearly, he regarded Ken as a swordsman, and out of confidence and pride in his own strength, he immediately saw Ken as his "prey"!

This caused Belial, who recognized the Titan's identity and deduced his thoughts from the Titan's undisguised actions, to shudder slightly. He couldn't help but secretly give the Titan, who perfectly embodied the phrase "ignorance is bliss," a thumbs-up.

As expected of the original story, one dares to speak and the other dares to act, and the one who dares to go and challenge Noah to a duel with a sword in hand is a tough guy.

This kid probably doesn't even know how to spell "fear"! He's like a pure honey badger reincarnated, the kind who wants to fight everyone he sees!

Like Ken, he was a pure-blooded, reckless military general!

"Hahahaha! I never expected you, you arrogant bastard, to actually ask for help. That's rare indeed! Tartarus—!!!"

Shortly after the Titans appeared, a burst of gloating, maniacal laughter echoed from the portal.

Immediately afterwards, Diablo, who, like Ken, had large horns on his head, walked out of the portal with heavy steps, unhurriedly.

His overall appearance, like Tartarus and the Titans, is that of a suit of golden armor in the kingdom's exclusive colors.

Only the red pattern on his chest, which always exudes a sense of life, seems somewhat out of place with Diablo's overall appearance.

Even after stepping out of the portal, Diablo showed no trace of the tension one would expect from someone about to face a major battle.

He even stretched lazily before slowly turning his gaze to the battlefield in front of him, giving it a cursory look.

When he saw that Tartarus, whom he had always remembered as cold, aloof, and pretentious, was now covered in blood and looked seriously injured, a look of surprise first appeared in his eyes. Then, pointing at Tartarus with one finger and clutching his stomach with the other, he burst out laughing without any restraint.

"Hahaha! You've been beaten pretty badly, Tartarus, you've utterly disgraced our kingdom... Come, let me see who dared to humiliate you like this? Want me to avenge you? Hahaha!"

As he spoke, Diablo even took a few steps forward, deliberately poking Tartarus's shoulder, where most of the shoulder guard had been neatly sliced ​​away. He then pointed to the conspicuous wound on Tartarus's chest and abdomen, which ran diagonally across his entire torso, slowly healing but still continuously oozing golden blood. Far from showing the slightest concern for his companion, he instead let out an even louder laugh at this critical juncture.

Unfortunately, Tartarus ignored Diablo's close-range taunts.

Even the Titans, not far away, seemed unfazed by Diablo's display of cowardice. They continued to stare intently at their "prey," not even bothering to glance at Diablo.

Diablo quickly lost interest, grunting and panting, and reluctantly stopped laughing.

It was at this moment that Tartarus turned his head slightly and looked at Diablo.

Although Tartarus's current appearance is indeed appalling...

But in his eyes, there was a calm and serenity that was completely out of character for his injuries.

He gazed at Diablo's face, slightly contorted with laughter, and at the undisguised burning ambition in his eyes to replace Tartarus. A slight smile even appeared on his lips.

He wasn't angry, didn't argue, and didn't even utter a rebuttal. He simply let out a short, almost inaudible chuckle from his nose. It was as if Diablo's earnest performance, in Tartarus's eyes, was nothing more than a clown trying to attract attention, not even worth a serious response.

He knew perfectly well what Diablo was thinking, and he understood that if he showed any weakness, Diablo would replace him without hesitation...

But so what?

Just like how no matter how many times Starscream rebelled, Megatron would always keep him serving under him.

Faced with an absolute gap in strength, any ambition is nothing but a castle in the air.

Furthermore, despite Tartarus's current appearance of being severely injured and weak.

But if Diablo dares to rebel at this critical juncture, Tartarus will make Diablo experience firsthand what it means to be a starved camel that is still bigger than a horse in the shortest possible time!

It was precisely this absolute confidence in his own strength that made Diablo visibly shrink back and tone down his arrogance when Tartarus looked over.

This made Tartarus nod slightly, acknowledging that this fool at least had some brains, while he turned his gaze back to Belial. In his signature calm tone, he issued the battle orders, word by word.

"Have you laughed enough? If you've laughed enough, then prepare for war... Kill Belial standing over there at all costs!"

"Killed Belial? Ha, what a boastful tone!"

Just then, a powerful voice boomed from directly above the battlefield.

Immediately afterward, before Tartarus could respond, a burly figure clad in a bright red cloak descended slowly from the sky. He looked exactly like Ken, holding an Ultra Dumbbell in his left hand and the Ultimate Blade in his right.

Without a doubt, it was the Father of Ultra of this universe who, after rushing all the way, finally arrived at the battlefield at this critical juncture!

Of course, after discovering Belial's existence, Father of Ultra didn't come alone to show his warm welcome to this UR dazzling card.

Almost the instant Father of Ultra appeared, another figure, also dressed in a bright red cape, slowly landed beside Father of Ultra, accompanied by two younger figures.

That was Mother of Ultra, along with Mebius and Max!

Mebius volunteered to help Hikari after learning that Mold and Juda had reappeared, out of concern for Hikari's safety.

The moment he entered the battlefield, Mebius's gaze swept back and forth across the battlefield.

Mebius breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hikari next to the mechanical device that was continuously sending signals, who, apart from looking somewhat tired, showed no signs of injury.

Then he brandished his lightsaber, instantly transforming from a harmless dream cat into a fighting face!

And Max...

His involvement was, in a sense, purely a matter of luck.

He had just finished his patrol mission and was on his way back to the Land of Light when he happened to run into Father of Ultra, who was rushing out of his house.

Then, Father of Ultra, worried that there weren't enough people to show his respect for Belial, grabbed some "laborers" to make up the numbers.

Of course, the perceptive Mother of Ultra had already noticed the children's distressed state as they ran out of energy.

Therefore, when her husband started mocking Tartarus to draw the enemy's attention, Mother of Ultra opened her arms and showered forth a large amount of warm and soft golden light particles. This caused the Ultra Brothers, who had been sprawled out on the ground, to visibly recover to their full strength!

Then, one by one, they stood up, struck their classic transformation poses, and flew towards Mother of Ultra, obediently lining up behind her, ready to be at her beck and call.

"Hmph, a few more troublesome guys have arrived..."

At the same time, Tartarus, who had just been chased around by Ken and nearly died from the slashing of the Ultimate Blade, suddenly felt his heart stop when he saw Father of Ultra appear.

However, considering that if he were to retreat now, not only would he lose face for the kingdom, but Belial, whose growth rate was increasing by leaps and bounds, would likely become even more difficult to deal with.

Tartarus then suppressed his instinctive urge to turn and run, took a few deep breaths, spread his hands, and mocked in a serious manner.

"However, you think you can stop us with just a few people? Isn't that a bit too arrogant? At least double the number of your Ultra Brothers before you act so cocky in front of me!"
