What is the origin of that red ball?
Galatron realized that the red sphere hidden within the Eternal Core was the trigger for the problem, but this time Delacion was unusually silent. "It comes from a destroyed civilization and is like an omnipotent wish-granting machine."
"But all of this happening on Earth is actually just because of a sad wish."
"It stems from the simple wish of Earth that the next civilization can be stronger and more prosperous, after witnessing the destruction of countless civilizations it has nurtured."
Following Delacion's words, Galatrom's gaze unconsciously drifted to the blooming Zijra flower that Gatanothor had taken away. It stood there, telling tales of a distant past, as if witnessing countless cycles of civilization's demise.
How many times must a planet witness the destruction of civilizations before it can give birth to this final act of mercy to a civilization on the verge of extinction?
So much so that he eventually lost all confidence and had to make that wish upon a red ball.
I hope that the children of the next generation will be stronger, healthier, and happier. I hope they will be well...
Recalling Mother Earth's weak voice at that time, Renlong looked at Saigaogu in front of him, his eyes filled with hatred that almost swallowed everything.
Chapter 294 The Blood Sea of Saigogu
In Africa, another beam of pitch-black light, like rain, fell from the sky, attempting to completely engulf Leo. Dark Lugiel's core flashed, and the brilliance of plasma sparks flickered, causing Lugoset to howl in agony.
Then, Dark Lugiel's chest core flashed, and countless rays of light met the rain of destruction, causing an explosion that made it extremely difficult for the Horned Rhino team to even operate their fighter jets.
The explosion alone covered most of the sky. Leo realized that he couldn't fight Dark Rugoset here, otherwise the damage would be too great even on Earth.
Moreover, the last time Maga-Orochi was revived, it brought about a global earthquake disaster. Saigoku's breaking of the seal made all the monsters in the world go berserk. Only Monster Island was spared. Right now, they are relying on Galaoguma, left behind by Galatron, to fight against it.
As for what Lugoset's awakening would bring, Leo, looking at the grassland animals that had not been affected by the battle but had died, already had the answer: it was a disease of life.
Like the disease itself, Lugosette has caused such harm in less than a few minutes of recovery. If it is left to linger, the entire Earth and even the entire universe will be eroded by various diseases.
Leo stared intently at Lugoset, "We need to get away from it and take it to the Negative Universe to fight."
"Leave it to me." Jet emerged from the fighting device, superimposed with Bishop Gloca's Spark Doll, and charged forward, opening a barrier to block the World-Destroying Light Rain and World-Destroying Elegy. As the barrier shattered, Jet also hugged Lugoset.
Using his physical defense, he withstood Lugoset's lightning strike and knocked it out of the atmosphere. At the same time, Narimiya Kazunari opened a passage, and Leo followed up with another flash attack. Then, while Lugoset was in pain, he kicked it into the passage.
"Jet, you stay here and go help Renlong!!" Leo tossed the Ultimate Fighting Device to Jet and then disappeared into the tunnel.
If it were a normal Lugoset, Jet could participate in the battle, but the Dark Lugoset was too powerful. Just to hold it off for a short while, Jet had already suffered considerable injuries.
Currently, few of the girls in Leo's family are actually capable of participating in battles at Lugoset's level, but there's nothing that can be done about it; they've only been developing for a short time, so we'll have to deal with that later.
"Sis!" Zetton teleported back, and his heart sank when he saw the Ultimate Fighting Device in Jet's hand. A bad memory flooded his mind. "Where's Leo?"
"He went to the negative universe alone to fight Lugoset..." Jet transformed back into human form. She had just withstood three waves of Lugoset's attacks and was seriously injured. The main problem was that it was difficult for her to fight enemies who were purely offensive like herself.
Looking at the combat device in his hand, Jett rested his head on his sister's shoulder. "Let's go help Renlong!"
The sudden disappearance of EX Zetton left the members of Team Rhinoceros somewhat bewildered. Due to their perspective, they couldn't see Zetton transform into a human. However, before they could even think about it, Garula roared and crawled out from the dark rift beneath Lugoset's broken seal.
The sheer number of monsters is somewhat unsettling. This passage will remain until Lugoset is killed, and monsters will continue to emerge from it.
Compared to Lugoset, Saigoku's impact seems to be much less, because the light of Earth is still there. Although Saigoku caused all the monsters to go berserk, Renlong can still command them to fight other non-friendly monsters like Golza.
However, Saigogu's own strength is also too troublesome. His left-hand scythe can easily cut through anything, and his right-hand spiked club can make people suffer for a long time after a single hit.
Even with this strength, which was not fully recovered, Father of Ultra stood up, relieved that his wounds had not been injured, and began to fight with Seggu with his sword.
Saigogu roared and swung his scythe. Father of Ultra raised his ultimate blade to block it, but was so overwhelmed by the attack that he almost lost his grip on his sword. Saigogu's power had more than doubled compared to before.
Upon seeing this, Tiga and the others immediately rushed to help. The strongest, Justice and Gaia, restrained Saigogu's right hand, Blaze and Max grabbed its tail, and Nexus opened a barrier to block Saigogu's spikes for them.
Tiga held the Eight-Point Light Wheel in his hand, while Agul drew his lightsaber and slashed directly at Saigogu's head. This group of people had a very clear division of labor when fighting together.
However, when Agul's lightsaber and Tiga's eight-part light wheel landed on Saigogu's head, they only sparked a few fires and failed to cause any actual damage.
With a roar, Saigogu unleashed a powerful burst of crimson energy from his body, forcefully throwing everyone aside with its overwhelming strength. He then swung his hammer at Tiga, sending him flying a great distance.
With just this one blow, Daigo was almost knocked unconscious. Saigo's strength was greater than that of Bishop Gloca, definitely on par with Queen Gloca, but the problem was, this guy wasn't super-giant.
Has Saigogu recovered? The rejuvenated Renlong acted decisively, knocking Saigogu away before he could make a move, preventing Agul from suffering the same fate.
Saigogu seemed to have anticipated this, opening its mouth to spew out a torrent of bloody light. Renlong withstood the blow and was directly forced out of its fused state with Maga Orochi.
Zoffy didn't even care about anything else and directly used the M87 Beam to collide with Saigoku's blood torrent. However, the M87 Beam, which had never been invincible before, was pushed back after a few seconds of stalemate.
Blaze unleashed the Spiral Ballad, only to have it cleaved in two by Saigogu. Nexus leaped into the air, unleashing a devastating barrage of arrows that struck Saigogu on the head, sending him staggering. Zoffy seized the opportunity to push him back.
Gaia and Agul overlapped and merged to form a double streamline, while Gauss and Justice also released a perfect cross, which fell on Saigogu along with the M87 beam.
The violent explosion even dispersed the surrounding blood mist, yet no one dared to let their guard down, for the blood mist remained. The previous double-flowing attack and perfect fusion had failed to inflict a fatal wound on Maga-Orochi, and Saigoku was likely also…
Two tentacles suddenly emerged from the smoke, wrapping around Gaia and Agul with lightning speed. Their energy was depleted in the blink of an eye, with most of it drained away.
Father of Ultra swung the Ultimate Blade down with force, but it couldn't even leave any wounds on the two tentacles. The Eagle in the sky reacted first, launching the Hyper Beam along with the Zildar missile, heading straight for the thick smoke.
The explosion dispersed the thick smoke, and Dark Saigogu appeared unharmed before everyone. The armor on its chest opened, revealing the blood-red core inside. The two tentacles had been hidden there all along, which was also Dark Saigogu's weak point.
However, this cannot be considered a weakness. The wounds inflicted by the Zelda missile and the Hypa beam healed in the blink of an eye. The crimson energy transformed into a tangible liquid, flowing out from the core and staining the ground beneath its feet into a sea of blood.
"Hellstorm Sword!" King Eleking, in his lightning assassin form, descended from the sky with a furious roar, his lightsaber aimed directly at the core of the Dark Saigoku.
The spikes on Saigogu's back erupted, and Zetton stood in front of Eleking. Zetton's barrier was pierced in the blink of an eye. Without thinking, Zetton grabbed Eleking and pulled him aside to avoid being turned into a hedgehog together.
As if mocking everyone's overestimation of their abilities, Saigogu withdrew its tentacles, taking away all of Gaia and Agul's energy. Gamu and Fujimiya, who had reverted to their human forms, collapsed to the ground, while the sea of blood had already spread out.
Daigo lifted Fujimiya and Gamu up and began to treat them. However, he soon discovered that his energy was being drained. Not only were the tentacles drained, but the surrounding blood mist and the sea of blood beneath their feet were also created by Saigogu.
Having absorbed the energy of Gaia and Agul, it had fully recovered. The surrounding blood mist began to scorch, and the sea of blood beneath its feet was extremely hot. Saigogu was seizing the energy of all life, and many Golza were swallowed up by the sea of blood as soon as they appeared, turning into part of Saigogu.
This time, Saigogu did not hold back. It roared, and the spikes on its back exploded, transforming into dozens of dark swords that stood behind it.
Clearly, Saigogu understood that he couldn't rely too much on numbers when competing with this group of guys, otherwise they could create even more dark monsters. However, each of these meticulously crafted dark swords, Dimaga, was as strong as Bishop Gloca, and their defenses were extremely powerful.
The sea of blood churned like lava, transforming into thorns that bound everyone tightly, making them unable to move. The sharp needles could even pierce Max's physical defenses, wantonly seizing their energy.
Renlong merged with Maga Orochi once again, using this power to break free of his restraints and charge forward to fight Saigogu. Zetton and Eleking tried to block the sea of blood, but to no avail.
Daigo and the others were firmly locked in the sea of blood, unable to move. Dimaga tried to tear through the thorns of the sea of blood, but was blocked by a large number of dark swords.
Father of Ultra, who barely managed to dodge, felt a chill in his heart. He had to find a way to stop the spread of this sea of blood, otherwise Saigoku would only become stronger as the sea of blood spread. However, everyone's condition was not good, and he had to buy time for everyone.
"Soldiers, I'll hold it off, you guys figure out a way!"
Father of Ultra, wielding the Ultimate Blade, unleashed unprecedented power, squeezing out all his potential. Golden light then spread out, enveloping him and Saigoku.
The Father of Ultra used this same technique to fight Emperor Alien alone, but he couldn't say how long he could hold out against Saigoku, but... he was willing to risk his life!
The expansion and entanglement of the sea of blood stopped as Saigo was pulled into the battle space, giving Daigo and the others a chance to catch their breath, but much of their energy had already been drained.
Everyone just can't figure out how Gaia and Agul managed to seal Saigoku back then, even with the field debuffs applied.
In the other negative universe, Leo, along with King Grand and Keples, joined forces to fight Dark Rugoset. Dark Baltan and Mini Baltan were unable to participate in the battle because Rugoset's power filled the surrounding space with a strong virus.
No living thing can survive in such an environment, and it is because of this uniqueness that the one who personally sealed it away was also a legendary being.
Leo and Lugiel are not simple life forms, and Keples is also a star-like life form, which is why it is immune to such threats. Even so, Lugoset is still too troublesome.
From the moment it arrived in the Negative Universe, Lugoset regarded Leo as an enemy, or perhaps prey. It stopped hiding its power and, relying on the replenishment of Ultimate Darkness, transformed directly into the Ultimate Turret.
The rain of light that brought the world to an end never stopped, and the elegy of the world and the lightning beams were released in an alternating manner. This thing could even teleport. Leo was hit so hard that his scalp tingled. For the first time, he felt that his Miss Zetton was really kind and amiable.
King Grand was forced to retreat repeatedly by the attack "Creation Elegy". If his defense hadn't been strong enough, he would have suffered at least a minor injury from this attack.
"Leo, this guy's firepower is too strong, we can't beat him." King Grand said somewhat aggrievedly. She had strong defense, but her offensive power was relatively weak.
But you can't blame Leo for this. The energy Leo is providing to King Grand is much more generous than that provided by Juda.
"Even if we can't beat them, we have to fight them. Bringing this guy here was definitely the right decision. If we had left it on Earth, this cancer virus would have spread throughout Africa within half an hour and wiped out all of humanity within a few hours."
Leo felt that in the future, it would be best to drag all of these great sealed monsters into the negative universe to fight, otherwise Earth and humanity could not withstand such torment.
Lugoset seemed to realize that Kepler could be resurrected no matter how many times he killed him, so he turned his gaze to Leo, and the energy on the glowing part of his chest instantly gathered and flashed.
A massive, dark red energy beam erupted instantly. Leo, along with King Grand, teleported away, watching as the beam pierced through Uranus and Neptune, creating a nearly thousand-kilometer-long hole.
It merely pierced through; it didn't blast away sparks like Queen Gloca did. But Leo was certain that Queen Gloca would likely be destroyed by this attack, because even Ultimate Grand King wouldn't dare withstand such penetration.
“Leo, let’s further assimilate Huan.” Empera’s voice rang in Leo’s ears, carrying a certain firmness.
“No, it’s already in an assimilated state. If we go any further, you’ll never be able to come back.” Leo resolutely refused. “Besides, even if we assimilate further, the power we can increase is too limited. We must find an opportunity to weaken its ultimate darkness.”
It's easy to say, but difficult to do. Lugoset's firepower never stopped from beginning to end, and it was already difficult for Leo to just manage to smash it into the negative universe.
More than his own situation, Leo was worried about Renlong and his group. He had his own plans, but he needed to stall for time. As long as he could hold them off, the battle wouldn't be a problem.
Chapter 295 Turning Point
The root of all this stemmed from a sorrowful wish. Galatrom was speechless. In order to ensure that the civilization she had nurtured would be destroyed without regret, Earth even cultivated a plant called the Zijra flower.
"The core of a planet is a basic condition for the birth of life, but when it is powerful enough to be called an eternal core, Earth is unable to properly nurture civilization. The excessive power causes each civilization to be destroyed due to various problems."
This is also a tragedy. The energy of the eternal core is too powerful, even exceeding that of the sun by an unknown amount. Naturally, such an Earth would not lack resources for survival.
However, the Eternal Core is unstable. Even the slightest energy leak would be a fatal disaster for a nascent civilization. For Earth, this is like breathing—something it cannot control.
"Why is that red ball on Earth?" Galatrom found herself acting like a curious child, wanting to know everything, and she really needed to find out the answers to these questions.
"It was once wished to destroy itself, but as long as there is emotion and desire in the universe, it will reappear. It came to Earth only because of Earth's own desires."
These words are somewhat poignant, as what was meant to help the civilization they nurtured survive better became the beginning of an even greater disaster.
In the beginning, Earth's wish was indeed fulfilled. The ancient civilization was outstanding in art, technology, and morality. The people were also very powerful, and they had allies such as ancient giants and visitors.
If everything had gone according to plan, the ancient civilizations would probably have reached the level of the Land of Light by now, and the universe wouldn't be in such chaos.
But that was just wishful thinking. The only thing to be thankful for was that the situation did not develop in the most dangerous direction.
"Tiga absorbed the dark power of Camilla and the other two and transformed it into light, while sealing them in R'lyeh."
"The civil war of the ancient civilization had just ended when Gatanothor was lured to Earth by the Dark Shadow Mage, thus beginning the Dark War."
In the ancient Dark War, human civilization was almost wiped out, countless giants were killed or wounded, not to mention the visitors. At that time, the only ones who could hold the line were the monsters led by Renlong.
But putting aside Gatanothor's power after obtaining the ultimate darkness, Hilarion was corrupted first, and Kodara was controlled shortly afterward. Two of the three great monsters of the sky, sea, and earth were gone. Gatanothor also blocked out the light, making the earth even weaker.
"Before the Earth was completely dead, it used its last rays of light to create Agul and Gaia, so that they could fight alongside Tiga. However, this was not enough to turn the tide."
"However... the Dark Shadow Mage was too greedy. In order to obtain greater power, he used the power of the Eternal Core to cause the spacetime collapse of more than a dozen universes, resulting in an unprecedented catastrophe."
As he spoke, Delacion presented Galatrom with images of multiple universes being drawn into an ever-expanding vortex.
“However, this also became the reason for the Dark Shadow Mage’s failure.” After Delacion finished speaking, Galatron immediately realized, “Because of the spacetime chaos, Ultramen from other universes also came to this world to help?”
"Yes."
Delacion's answer was simple and straightforward. If the Dark Shadow Mage hadn't gone crazy and insisted on this greedy and unnecessary action, Delacion would have been hesitant to cause destruction by intercosmic intervention.
However, at that time, multiple universes were intertwined and showed a faint tendency to merge. This gave Delacion an opportunity to take action, first trapping the ultimate darkness in the solar system and preventing the disaster from spreading to the entire universe.
"After that, Dark Spark was attracted by the power of ultimate darkness, Galaxy Spark followed closely behind, and Ultraman King also came here."
"I joined forces with Ultraman King, Legend, and Noah, but he still managed to escape part of it. However, his core is sealed by the four of us, and he cannot break free on his own."
After listening to Delacion recount the whole story, Galatron felt somewhat... indescribable. The life of the Dark Shadow Mage was truly full of comedic moments.
The plan was about to succeed, but then Delacion started observing this universe, and Noah accidentally got caught up in it. The King of Ultra even chased the Dark Spark here.
Add to that Legend, who is in the same range as Delacion, and there are four legendary beings serving it. This is a blessing... tsk tsk, not something an ordinary person can have.
"However, even with four legendary figures, including yourself, the problem couldn't be completely resolved?"
“Power cannot solve all problems. The Dark Shadow Mage was born from the darkness in people’s hearts. Therefore, Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Nexus made a decision to turn their light into a spark and spread it in the hearts of mankind.”
Considering the current physical condition of Earthlings, Galatrom wholeheartedly agreed, "Then, the existence of a regulatory system is... the ultimate insurance?"
Since Delacion was able to leave behind a seamless image of himself across 30 million years, he must also be able to see the regulatory system.
"If you cannot solve the oversight system, you will inevitably be unable to defeat the Dark Shadow Mage, and therefore have no right to know the truth."
"At that time, the regulatory system will directly eliminate all life on Earth to ensure that the Dark Shadow Mage cannot obtain any negative energy, and I will restart the universe."
That's ruthless, but Delacion's approach doesn't seem wrong; it falls under risk management.
"Then why didn't you make things clear from the beginning?" These truths don't seem worth keeping from Delacion. Renlong and the others should have said them long ago.
"Because when Delacion used herself as a base to merge those universes that were caught in the chaos of spacetime into one, a part of the power that was revealed combined with the ultimate darkness to form a new existence, which is hiding in the shadows and spying."
These words made Galatrom's heart sink. If there was such an enemy who had not appeared from beginning to end, then Delacion's preparations were not without reason.
"The oversight system has completed its mission. I will transfer control of the remaining bishops of Gloca, including the control of the Giga Ndora, to you. I hope this will be of assistance to you."
For Delacion, there were countless Thousand Endoras and Bishops of Groca, and it wouldn't have been difficult for King and Queen Groca to build them during His heyday; he simply gave them away.
After all, if even Bishop Gloca and Giga Endora couldn't handle the opponent, then it was time for Delacion to step in himself; there was no need for anyone else.
But for Galatrom, this was truly a windfall. So many Bishops of Gloca! Although her MK2 was stronger than the Bishops of Gloca, it was impossible to mass-produce it on a large scale.
