Meanwhile, the Dark Shadow Mage, hiding in the shadows, clicked his tongue in displeasure. He had originally thought that the Dark Emperor would trap all the Ultramen in darkness and fear, but he did not expect that Leo would move the battlefield first.
The Destruction Entities are also in a hurry. We clearly agreed to wait until Emperor and these guys were both exhausted before taking action. Why are they in such a hurry? They can't just assume someone is dead just because they can't sense the Dark Emperor's presence, can they?
And then there's Sphia messing things up. Sigh, when did my plans start going so wrong? It seems I'm just destined to clash with Reiblood. If I hadn't been in such bad shape ten years ago, I would have settled things with Reiblood properly instead of just launching a sneak attack.
Although the plan encountered many unexpected changes, it was generally successful. At least the long-dormant ultimate darkness has begun to stir, and the most crucial one has already wavered.
Next, we just have to wait for the Dark Emperor and that Reonics to fight to the death. But if that guy named Hebikura isn't Reiblood's son, could it be that researcher named Yamaoka Hajime?
As for whether it could be Leo? The Dark Shadow Mage said it was impossible, absolutely impossible. At most, it was just a coincidence of names. That kid almost became the human host for two Ultramen, how could it be him?
Chapter 250 Ampera: Kidnapping People?
Inside the dark and terrifying alternate dimension, the battle between Leo and the Dark Emperor continues. The Dark Emperor clearly did not expect that Leo could be compared to himself in his current state. In fact, even Leo himself did not expect it.
The Dark Emperor of today is not to be underestimated compared to the Alien Empera of the past. Her aura alone is on par with Maga Orochi, but she doesn't eat things indiscriminately.
Hoping for Daigo and the others to come to their aid? That won't work either. Before the battle, Emperor told Leo that the alternate dimension inside Dark Terror has an extremely strong suppressive force against the power of light. Even if Daigo and the others combine here, they will only get beaten up.
However, this was also partly Leo's own selfish desire. Although he considered himself a very team player and would never go it alone if he could gang up on the other side, there was one thing Leo wanted to do personally: deal with the Dark Emperor.
After all, the feud between him and the Alien Empera runs deep.
"As expected, there are still some restless fellows." After unleashing a heavy energy wave on Ultimate Grand King, the Dark Emperor found that apart from the dazzling sparks, it had no other effect. He glanced at the exit.
The actions of the Destruction Bringers were not unexpected for her. In fact, the reason she did not directly drag the others over was that she did not want these Destruction Bringers to succeed, so that Tiga and the others could deal with them.
"You're the restless one too," Leo sighed. The Ultimate Grand King's defense was extremely strong; the Dark Emperor's energy attacks couldn't break through it. It was just a little slow, otherwise he would have died several times over.
"I am the Emperor of Darkness, and the ultimate power of darkness will surely be in my hands!"
"That's not necessarily true." Leo recalled his experience of almost dying from overeating inside Maga Orochi last time; Ultimate Darkness always seemed to have a special fondness for him.
The two psychic powers collided again, and the surrounding hills were directly crushed into dust by the aftershocks. In fact, for Leo, it was an extremely difficult thing to contend with the current Dark Emperor.
With the Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Nymph, he can control monsters like Ultimate Grand King, which are so powerful they're practically impossible. He also has the energy supply of Ultimate Darkness. If he were to fight the original Dark Emperor, even with the Dark Armor, Leo wouldn't be afraid.
As Emperor said, although people have been boasting that she would have dozens of times more power when she wore the Dark Armor, if it were really that powerful, she would have already fought the Land of Light a second time. Wearing the armor would only increase her power by a few times at most.
Leo has great potential. What's really limiting him isn't anything else, but... he's only ten years old, and his abilities have only been awakened for a month.
Even if the Reibloodians are recognized throughout the universe as the species with the most shameless growth rate, a month is not enough time for Leo to fully tap into his potential, and the Dark Emperor is clearly not serious yet.
She was just stalling, waiting. The ultimate darkness had been sealed for too long and needed time to be truly awakened. Whether it was the Destruction Bringer or Sphia, the Emperor never considered them enemies; they were unworthy.
Another clash of psychic powers ended. Although the results were even, the Dark Emperor was clearly much more relaxed, while Leo was already somewhat mentally exhausted, because he not only had to fight the Dark Emperor, but also provide energy to the other monsters.
“Young Reibrand, why not submit to me?” The Dark Emperor reached out his hand to Leo. “Your potential is worthy of my appreciation, and you are not one of the Light race that I despise. Why stand on the side of humans?”
"If you pledge allegiance to me, I can share the power of ultimate darkness and this universe with you. I can even spare the humans of this Earth and grant them protection."
This is not a deceptive trick, but a sincere recruitment by the Dark Emperor. Firstly, Leo's potential is undeniable, and she is now even stronger than before. How many of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings can compare to such a person?
Secondly, even the Dark Emperor himself couldn't explain why he felt a strange admiration for Leo. Was it influenced by his rational side?
Before Leo could even speak, Emperor, who had assimilated with him, immediately started cursing, "You son of a bitch! You stole my Dark Empire, tried to kill my Four Heavenly Kings, destroyed my family's wealth and even tried to kill me, and now you want to steal my man? I wouldn't even take the first bite myself!"
When has a dignified Alien Empera ever been treated like this? It was only because her partner was angry with her that she couldn't stand it anymore.
Leo had no choice but to hold Ampera back to prevent her from really exploding with the other party. "I refuse. Putting aside the fact that someone who can betray you once is likely to betray you a second time, he will inevitably not gain much trust."
"Secondly, being your subordinate is far too risky. The Dark Fleet has three thousand warships, but not a single living person. They must have all been converted into your power, right?"
The report from Galatron gave Leo a general understanding of the situation. Indeed, only a powerhouse of the Dark Emperor's caliber could contain such immense power. The reason he sent the new Dark Four Heavenly Kings over first was simply because he needed time to adapt to that power.
"Indeed, they are just a bunch of useless fools, that's all they're good for." The Dark Emperor frankly admitted this. "But you are different. If it were you, you would be qualified to stand by my side and serve me. However, I didn't expect that my other half would care about you so much."
"Very well, then I will use my undisputed power to crush you until you are powerless to resist. Then, I will show her how I will ravage and seize everything she values, and squeeze every last drop of you dry to become my power!"
The more the Dark Emperor spoke, the angrier Emperor became. If Leola hadn't stopped him, he would have completely lost his mind. But now that things had come to this point, it was clear that the Dark Emperor was serious.
Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky above the alternate dimension. A bolt of lightning struck down directly onto the Dark Emperor, transforming into the shape of dark armor. Leo's eyelids twitched involuntarily. Wasn't this thing in the hands of his unreliable mother? How did it end up here?
Seemingly noticing Leo's confusion, the Dark Emperor said nonchalantly, "This is just a replica made by the Magma aliens back then, but with a little enhancement from my power, it should be able to temporarily reach the level of the original."
Although doing so would quickly render the replica useless, the Dark Emperor didn't care. She simply drew the Blade of Empera and aimed it at Leo, her aura rising to a level that could frighten Melba to death.
Leo couldn't help but swallow hard. The pressure was immense now. Winning would be fine, but losing would be worse than death. "King Grand, are you alright?"
Leo never expected that this Dark Emperor would be so ruthless. She doesn't trust anyone and doesn't need anyone. So, the Four Heavenly Kings and the Two Generals are just disposable sacrifices. Without such awareness, it's impossible to have such power.
(No problem, I think I should beat her to death a hundred times!)
For some reason, even the usually emotionless King Grand spoke with a hint of gritted teeth. Leo nodded firmly, "Let's go!"
This time, the Dark Cloth went all out, unleashing an unprecedented burst of energy. In contrast, the Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device remained relatively quiet, for reasons unknown.
Seeing that Leo had also unleashed even greater power than before, the Dark Emperor was even more satisfied. She could sense the ultimate dark power within Leo; he clearly possessed a great deal of it but didn't know how to use it, what a waste.
What the Dark Emperor didn't know was that most of Leo's ultimate dark power was actually in the Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device; his own share was really small. Magabasa even joked that Leo was handing over his wife's salary, and then got a beating for it.
Dark energy clung to Emperor's Blade as the Dark Emperor swung his sword at high speed. The dense, dark purple sword light formed a giant net that completely enveloped Ultimate Grand King. Even Maga Orochi would have to lose several heads if it came.
Leo decisively handed over complete control of his body to Empera, who gripped the Grand Sword, which was imbued with the Dark Cloth and given to King Grand's right hand, and swung the sword to unleash golden light in response.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the Destruction Demon Worms of the Destruction Summoning Entity have spread throughout the entire world, and these small demon worms will also aggregate to become the larger demon worm monster, Debisi.
However... the Destruction Summoning Entity is always quite entertaining. The Debisi, the demonic insects that invaded various parts of the world, just landed and happened to run into Galaoguma, one of Galatron's subordinates, fighting against Impreza.
Galaoguma was originally stronger than Impreza, but unfortunately, these were all machines that had been enhanced by the Emperor using energy that he couldn't absorb, making them too difficult to fight. Impreza also couldn't defeat Galaoguma and was having a similarly difficult time fighting it.
However, the appearance of the Debisi worm changed the situation. Galaoguma and Impreza's computers analyzed the situation and concluded that they should reject any possibility of a conflict between two powerful forces or a situation where one side tries to take advantage of the other. Therefore, they decided to deal with the Debisi worm first.
The newly landed Debisi Demon Worms were also confused, because according to their leader, they should wait until the Alien Empera and the Earthlings were both severely injured before taking action, so as to minimize losses and maximize gains.
So when they sensed that the Dark Emperor's aura had become very weak (entering the Dark Terror), the Debisi Demon Worms immediately took action and rushed out, running all over the world, because their mission was to destroy all the cities and civilizations built by humans, to destroy the foundation of human civilization.
But why does it seem like it arrived a little too early? The Debisi Demon Worm's brain capacity simply couldn't support it thinking too much, so it was directly carried away by Galaoguma and Impreza. Then the two of them continued fighting, and halfway through, they saw that a few more Debisi Demon Worms had spawned, so they continued to beat it up, and after beating it up, they continued to fight each other.
The defense team members, who were flying fighter jets in the sky and didn't know how to help, looked familiar, somewhat like those jungle monsters that you casually clear out while laning.
In addition, what was somewhat surprising was that some of the Debisi Demon Insects had just landed when they were caught by Golza, who had just emerged from the ground, and then they were given a good beating. Several Debisi Demon Insects were no match for a single Golza.
"...Is this thing's combat power not even at the level of Golza?" Director Yoshioka asked subconsciously.
"It seems a bit too high. This Golza seems to have beaten up the Kirieloids before, but there were too many of them. Sigh, our TPC's weapons and equipment are still very limited." Staff Officer Nanyuan couldn't help but sigh again.
The people in the command room looked at their own dozen or so Desfasa, and then at the other side that they could launch more than a hundred Galagomas at once. The equipment gap was too big, and they really didn't have enough.
Perhaps with the idea that "outsiders dare to come to our territory and steal the ultimate darkness," Golza and Melba, which spawned all over the world, also joined the fight against the Debisi Demon Worms. Of course, they could only barely fight, because there were more Debisi Demon Worms than the two of them combined.
"However, if we don't close those damn wormholes, these worms are truly endless."
"Commander Yoshioka!" Nozue suddenly looked up. "Director Sawai has sent a message!"
On the big screen, Director Sawai's expression was very serious. "Destroy those wormholes, but be careful, the enemy won't give us many chances."
"That's exactly what I was waiting for." Yoshioka immediately understood Director Sawai's thoughts and picked up the phone. "This is Yoshioka. I'm issuing an order to all TPC branches: permission is granted for the use of the new Friendship Project missiles!"
Each branch quickly replied that they had received the message. In fact, they had wanted to do this for a long time, but the new missiles in the Friendship Project, even if they couldn't destroy a planet, still had great power. Their use was strictly restricted within Earth's sphere, and they could not be used without the permission of the director and the branch leaders.
While the Debisi Demon Worm was being beaten, the Root Destruction Death God Kipbu was also observing in the dark. In fact, they didn't really trust the Dark Shadow Mage, their temporary collaborator, because they were all from the dark forces and knew each other's true nature best.
However, it must be admitted that although the plan had some unexpected problems, and it is unknown why the Debisi Demon Worm came out ahead of schedule and did not gain any advantage, the power of the Dark Emperor extinguished the sun and blocked the sky, and the Earth's light was at its weakest.
They really spent a lot of their resources attacking Earth, so this time, they're going to use their biggest trump card: the Annihilation Angel Zog!
Moreover, in order to deal with the Dark Emperor and to make the people of Earth lose the will to resist, Kipbu also planned to have Zog appear in the form of a real angel, like a messenger of God, showing great power, and even defeating the Dark Emperor would not be a problem!
But why hasn't Zog shown up yet? Is he waiting for an opportunity? He can't be still putting on makeup, can he?
Chapter 251 Legendary Dragons and Deep Sea Legends
Question: If a Dark Emperor who can move around, wears dark armor, and has absorbed the power of at least several thousand aliens and monsters, what level would he be at if he went all out and got serious?
Leo said he didn't really want to know, but probably no one could answer the question better than him.
This was a battle that could be described as completely one-sided. The Dark Emperor, wearing pseudo-dark armor and having absorbed countless aliens, was more powerful than anyone could imagine. She was simply displaying her power unilaterally, without even needing to move. She just stood there and swung her sword, and Leo could barely defend against her.
In the dark and terrifying space, the emperor would sense any teleportation beforehand, and the barrier alone could not stop the slashes of Emperor's Blade. Leo and Emperor were both gritting their teeth and enduring the blows.
"Not bad, you managed to hold out for a minute even in my current state. I'm getting more and more eager to have you." The Dark Emperor sneered, and swung his sword again, but this time the sword light was faster and sharper than before.
Leo blocked with his sword, and even the power and defense of the Ultimate Grand King trembled. In the end, he was sent flying, crashing through several mountains behind him.
"Cough cough..." Leo coughed up a mouthful of blood and wiped it away casually. His body was, after all, shaped by the ultimate darkness, and death was now far away from him.
However, it must be admitted that he is no match for the Dark Emperor in full power while clad in armor. It's no different from asking him to fight a vegetarian Maga Yamata no Orochi alone; the difference in strength is truly significant.
"Just how much power from aliens and monsters have you absorbed, you bastard?"
Leo struggled to his feet, his strength bordering on the absurd. Although he knew the Dark Emperor's weakness was on his right side, he couldn't even touch him, let alone the fact that the guy was wearing armor.
"Who knows? I'm too lazy to count." The Dark Emperor sat on his throne, casually resting his chin on his hand, then, as if he had thought of something, said, "Why don't you go and count them yourself?"
As he spoke, the Dark Emperor raised his hand, and the ground beneath him suddenly cracked open, from which emerged one after another aliens and monsters like zombies: Baltan aliens, Magma aliens, Babar aliens, and Imperial aliens...
In addition, there are Zetton, King Black, Tyrant, Barton, and Gomora... countless monsters that Leo knows and doesn't know, aliens he recognizes and doesn't recognize. The total number of these is far more than the number of aliens who followed the Dark Emperor into battle.
Clearly, the Dark Emperor had already begun extracting and devouring the power of other aliens and monsters long before the previous Dark Four Heavenly Kings chose to betray him. However, because the Dark Universe was in great chaos at the time, it was impossible for the Emperor to be discovered personally taking action.
"Look at these guys, weak and incompetent, they are of no use except as nourishment to become stronger. Power is everything, darkness is eternal. They all say they are loyal to me, but when I ask them to offer their power, none of them are willing."
"In the end, they just want power, strength, and status. If they are stronger than me, they will also want to take away my power. How many of them are truly loyal?"
The Dark Emperor casually raised his hand, and tens of thousands of aliens and monster zombies rushed towards Leo. They were already dead, devoid of any reason or fear, merely puppets of the Emperor, but their absolute loyalty was enough.
With the Dark Spark unusable, Leo had no choice but to fight alongside King Grand, battling the zombies, but the sheer number of enemies was enough to overwhelm them.
The Dark Emperor merely watched Leo's resistance from her throne, mocking his helplessness, yet she also felt a pang of regret, for she genuinely wanted to recruit Leo, not simply to deceive him.
If Leo is willing to pledge allegiance to her, as long as he doesn't betray her, the Dark Emperor wouldn't mind sparing Earth and its people, and might even offer him protection. If Leo is willing to kneel down and sincerely beg her, she might even consider making this the only star system in the entire universe with a sun.
As for the ultimate darkness within Leo, the Dark Emperor has plenty of ways to extract it without killing him.
However, for Leo, there was absolutely no way he would choose such a path. What difference was there between someone who would give up everything and choose betrayal to save his own life and someone who was already dead? He had died several times already, so why would he be afraid of this?
Leo never fights with the belief that he is doomed to die, because death is not frightening to him. What he needs is the will to win. He must win, and their battle cannot be lost.
At the same time, the external situation was also not good. The number of Debixi Demon Worms was extremely large. As soon as one was destroyed, another one appeared. Their numbers were endless. On the other side of the wormhole, the Debixi worm hive produced demon worms at a faster rate than the worm hives that everyone was destroying.
As the number of demonic insects gradually increases, even if their combat strength is not strong enough, their sheer numbers become a danger. No matter how many Galaoguma and monsters there are, they cannot quickly eliminate so many enemies, so they can only take risks.
In the hangar of the European branch, William jumped directly from his Condor and looked at Marian in front of him.
"You'd better give me an explanation. I didn't even have time to save our Iron-Blooded comrades in order to come back here!" As the captain of Royal Glory, William's expression was very ugly. With the massive invasion of the Debisi Demon Worms, even with the help of Ako's Super Beast, the Earth Defense Force still suffered casualties.
Admittedly, they could hide and do nothing, waiting for it all to end, because if even the Ultramen can't do anything, it seems that no matter how hard humanity tries, it's useless. But letting them hide and watch their home being destroyed while their comrades from other universes are fighting desperately is worse than letting them just die.
"Alchemy Star has analyzed it. Although the wormhole first appeared over the Asian branch, we didn't expect that the largest main wormhole would appear over our European branch. Daniel believes that the Debisi Demon Worm's nest should be inside."
Marian, the head of the European branch, looked very tired. The European branch had suffered a lot recently, including Klaus's betrayal and the invasion of the supercomputer Chrysis. Marian hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.
"What about my task?" William had a general idea, but he still needed to confirm. Marian didn't say anything, but just handed him a piece of paper.
"Detonating missiles close to the wormhole with the Friendship Project in mind? This mission is somewhat risky." William raised his eyebrows slightly, looking relaxed, but this was more than just risky; it was a mission that required risking one's life.
“I will mobilize all the remaining defense forces to help you.” Marian knew better than anyone how dangerous this matter was.
"Then what about the defense of headquarters?"
"If the Zerg hive cannot be destroyed, the European branch cannot continue to exist."
There was no other way; there were just too many of these worms. After receiving the order to blow up the wormhole, the European branch had completely lost contact with the command center and headquarters. The enemy had already begun targeting the communication system.
But faced with so many demonic insects, Marian knew that the decisions made by each branch would be much the same, because there was only one path in front of everyone.
"..." William paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at his comrades who were also looking at him. Apart from William, those who were here at this time were basically wounded and rescued.
But at this very moment, he had no choice but to salute the group, "Those over 45 years old, married with children, or not only children, step forward!"
Everyone took a step forward, their eyes resolute. No matter what William said, this step would not waver. William said nothing, "Brothers, let's go, let's take back our skies!"
Outside the European branch, Max had been fighting for a long time and was exhausted. He knelt on one knee, panting and trying to catch his breath. There was no way around it; there were just too many Debisian worms. Not to mention the smaller ones, Max had already killed no less than forty of the large worm monsters.
But the bigger problem is that Earth's light is being blocked and becoming weaker. Their physical strength and energy are limited. Gaia and Agul have started flashing their lights. They have already lost a lot in the previous battles. The Four Heavenly Kings are only so useful to the Dark Emperor.
If it weren't for Galakron's Galakron and the mechanical Ultraman, plus the help of Earth's monsters, they wouldn't have been able to turn the tide on their own. They had to find a way to plug those damned wormholes.
Max's energy is the most scarce among them, and in order to conserve energy, he now even uses only his head-mounted dart to fight enemies.
However, when Max saw the Royal Glory Defence Force of the European branch flying into the sky, he instantly realized what they were probably planning to do and quickly followed.
More than twenty fighter jets flew into the sky, with Royal Glory's three fighter jets protected in the very center.
The dark clouds in the sky suddenly twisted, revealing countless insects flying towards them. Everyone opened fire simultaneously: the Texas Beam, the Flying Swallow One's beam, and the super hot and cold beams all pierced through the insects' attack.
However, the breach that had just been blasted open was blocked again the next second. Above the European branch was the nest of the Debissi Demon Worms, whose number was virtually endless.
