The Dark Heart, which has absorbed a large amount of Zelda gas, also possesses the power of light. If it were detonated there, it could cause an irreversible shake to the seal, allowing the Dark Shadow Mage to break the seal sooner.
With that thought in mind, Dark Arch rushed out of the dimensional rift and then bumped into a human, an ordinary-looking human, but damn it, what kind of human can fly in the sky and be covered in ultimate darkness?
"So it's you?" Leo looked at Dark Arc as if he were looking at a dead man. "You're a dark Ultraman? Perfect, my staff skills are still a bit rough, I'll use you to practice."
[Darkness materializes and merges, Ultraman Chaos]
[Dark materialization and fusion, Godler aliens]
Leo transferred the power of the Godler aliens onto Ultraman Chaos, then pulled out the Giga Battle Device and shook it, saying, "Promise me you won't die too quickly."
Chapter 369 Whose Heart?
When Dark Ake saw Leo transformed into Ultraman Chaos, he felt a powerful pressure emanating from Leo, but he still felt he had a chance of winning, and the difference in strength between the two did not seem that great.
So, Dark Aker rushed forward. Helnarak, who was controlling this body, felt that he had a good chance of winning. After all, he had the heart of a Dark Shadow Mage and had very powerful energy. His opponent was also a Dark Ultraman. How could he possibly lose?
Dark Arch thought this way at least until the Giga Battle Device was drawn onto him.
Shattering the Underworld Soul in Three Seconds, Commander, I am Ultraman! Nine strikes in one second is not Leo's limit, it's the limit of the Giga Battle Device.
When the first blow landed, the intense pain made Hernarak almost want to break free from Aker's body. He immediately realized that the stick was wrong; that thing had a special attack against Ultraman!
Looking at this, it's clear that this guy is from the dark forces just like me. Could it be that the guy the Dark Shadow Mage said he needed time to figure out how to deal with is this person?!
"What? I thought you were pretty strong, since you were so arrogant and dared to charge at me. But it turns out you're nothing special." Leo weighed the Giga Battle Device in his hand and looked at Dark Aker lying on the ground.
In reality, Leo doesn't need to go through all that trouble now, and he doesn't even need to transform. He could just use his telekinesis to kill his opponent. But he won't lose his mind because of anger.
Ake's body can still be retrieved. If Ako is not mistaken, if that dark heart were to explode here, it would cause a great disaster, affecting both Earth and humanity. Leo is also very curious about where the Dark Shadow Mage got this dark heart from.
Regardless of whether the current Dark Shadow Mage still needs this item, judging from Dark Aker's reaction, Leo cannot let him leave, and this is also to settle this score.
"Who exactly are you?"
"What, didn't the Dark Shadow Mage tell you?" Leo casually slung the Giga Battle Device over his shoulder. "I get it. He's afraid of me, so he's also afraid that if you find out about me, you'll be too scared to act."
"You're just spouting nonsense. How could you possibly imagine the power of Lord Evil Heart?" Dark Archer stood up, his Dark Heart granting him powerful self-healing abilities, but he needed other powers to deal with Leo.
"That being was born from eternal negative energy, and is immortal. As long as there is intelligent life in the universe, that being will be resurrected no matter how many times!"
"If he were really capable, he wouldn't be afraid to even see me."
Leo estimated how long it would take for Sira to arrive, and with a swing of his stick, he made up his mind. At this point, Aker was probably no longer even aware of himself; it was Hernarak who was controlling the body.
Since that's the case, then Leo can act without restraint, whipping and whipping as hard as he can until Hernarak is willing to come out of this body. He wants to see how many blows this guy can withstand.
Hearing Leo slander the person he followed in such a way, Dark Aker was furious. A purple cube was summoned from its forehead, which then transformed into a suit of armor that attached itself to its body. "You're asking for death!"
In addition, Dark Ark split into two more cubes, one red and one blue, which became its other two clones. The three of them rushed towards Leo together.
"Oh, you've gotten stronger, but so what? This body is resisting you. Even with a dark heart, how much power can you actually unleash?"
After Leo finished speaking, he charged forward again, swinging the Giga Battle Device. This time, Dark Aker didn't dare to take the hit head-on. With a weapon, he was actually able to hold his own against Leo for a while.
Meanwhile, in a corner unnoticed by the dark Ark, Renlong was examining the surrounding environment, trying to determine which ley line connected this place to Earth 30 million years ago.
Back then, Gatanothor and his crew directly targeted the ley lines for landing, because the ultimate darkness itself was transformed from the Earth's eternal core. After the eternal core was contaminated, the energy flowing through the ley lines also turned into the ultimate darkness.
With the core area of the Himalayas as the main focus, apart from the ley line where Renlong is located, the other seven ley lines were all polluted and occupied by each other. That's when she didn't notice what was happening here.
"...So this is the place. This ley line tributary intersects with Grimd's territory. What are they planning to do?"
The Dark Shadow Mage's thoughts are truly unfathomable. This guy can be said to be the most cunning person in the entire universe. He started planning 30 million years ago, which triggered the Dark War, and now he wants to completely unseal the power of ultimate darkness.
But the Dark Shadow Mage was very unlucky. Leo was practically created by the will of the universe to counter him. If he hadn't been so impulsive at the beginning, Leo wouldn't have even fallen into this universe. But he just had to act rashly at that critical moment.
Many of the subsequent plans were ruined by Leo. Originally, Leo was just regarded as an ordinary Leonic, but unexpectedly, Leo's growth rate was like riding the Plasma Hybrid. No, not that slow.
Renlong pondered carefully. Her understanding of Grimd was limited to the few words she had learned from the King of Ultra. Grimd was not simply darkness, but a chaotic evil god.
The title of "Crimson God" comes from Grimd's immense power and his unpredictable personality. No one knows what Grimd is thinking or can understand his actions. His chaotic power transcends darkness and light, almost reaching the level of a legend.
However, the idea that the power of chaos surpasses light and darkness is a misconception. People fear Grimd's immense power, but they don't realize that chaos itself is the result of the combination of darkness and light.
The reason the Shadow Mage couldn't convert and corrupt the entire Eternal Core before Gatanothor made his move was because he was incapable of doing so. He should have been aware of this and made some preparations for it, but it seems they were wasted.
Recalling the words left by the King of Ultra back then, Renlong finally understood what they meant. In that case, if Ake hadn't acted quickly enough, the Dark Shadow Mage might have succeeded.
"Could it be that... the ultimate darkness has not been completely corrupted, so it needs a heart that can control both darkness and light, or is it that it cannot complete the transformation of the entire Eternal Core without this?"
Renlong looked at Dark Ake, who was fighting with Leo. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the dark aura emanating from the opponent was not pure. She suddenly remembered that Leo had mentioned before that Chaos Chaos was a heart, a heart of light, but it was also an aggregate of light and darkness within it.
Doesn't that mean the heart the Dark Shadow Mage went to so much trouble to prepare can also be used by Leo?!
Chapter 370 Grimd's Doppelganger
Hernarak couldn't understand what was wrong with the world. Although he hadn't been able to fully control the body because of Ake's subconscious resistance, he believed that with the help of that heart, he could definitely unleash several times the power that Ake originally possessed.
Hernarak was well aware of Ark's power, especially the Galactic Armor he was wearing. It was so powerful that it could cleave spacetime in two with a single strike. So why was he still at a disadvantage?
Leo's attacks were unhurried, but each strike was powerful and heavy. His two clones were destroyed after only a few blows, leaving only the main body, Dark Ark, struggling to hold on.
He suddenly regretted it. He shouldn't have exposed himself so early, or he should have simply taken the heart and blown up the Dark Shadow Mage's seal earlier. But if he had acted then, he might have triggered Delacion's monitoring system prematurely, which would have made things even more troublesome.
Leo guessed correctly. The Zilda incident back then was indeed related to Helnarak. The appearance of Golza indicated that the ultimate darkness was stirring again. The seal began to loosen, darkness reappeared, and Helnarak was also awakened by the Dark Shadow Mage.
The Dark Shadow Mage told Hernarak to ensure the heart was completed, and even if it couldn't be fully completed, its powerful energy would still cause significant damage to his seal, thus assisting in the completion of the plan.
That's right, this is the arrangement of the Dark Shadow Mage. I must... what do I need?
Dark Ake hesitated for a moment, and Leo seized this opening, smashing him in the chest with his staff before lifting him up and sending him flying to the ground.
Leo flew out after him and looked at Dark Aker lying on the ground. His gaze gradually became serious because he saw an eye in the blue crystal on Dark Aker's Galaxy Armor chest. He had seen such an eye yesterday.
“Grimd, could it be that the heart the Dark Shadow Mage obtained is his?” Leo pondered for a moment. Could it be that the Dark Shadow Mage stole Grimd's heart back then, which is why it chased after Earth and got involved in the Dark War?
However, this is just Leo's personal speculation. This place was once a ley line dominated by Grimd, so it is quite normal for this heart to absorb the energy of the ley line and then be contaminated by Grimd.
Grimd? Upon hearing Leo's voice, Dark Archer paused for a moment, then shook his head. No, it was clearly the Dark Shadow Mage who gave him the order to take action!
So that's why...that's right, the Dark Shadow Mage never came here. After he was sealed away by Ark and Egrand was exiled here along with him, he didn't wake up until a few years ago.
In order to escape from the seal, she separated a part of her soul and bewitched a man, leading him to discover and study the liquefied ley line energy. One day, she sneaked into his home and triggered the explosion.
The energy from the explosion shook the seal, giving Hernarak a chance to act again. However, his actions took an unexpected turn from that moment on. Grimd had been watching everything, his eyes fixed on Leo.
"What an unpleasant look. Does he really want me that badly?" Leo felt very uncomfortable. The Dark Shadow Mage's eyes were full of hatred as an enemy, but Grimd's eyes... that possessiveness was a bit too unsettling.
Luciel was also very annoyed by such looks. She already considered Leo as her own. As for Renlong and the others, she could tolerate them since they were family. But what was Grimd? "Tsk, if we ever cross paths again, I'll gouge out all of its eyes!"
"Then can you defeat it?" Emperor had also heard of Grimd's name and knew that its power was extraordinary. It was said that the one who sealed Grimd back then was also a legendary being.
"I can't beat him." Luciel readily admitted that it was unrealistic for her to deal with Grimd at her current level. "I am not yet strong enough; when I am, I will change!"
Dark Spark is a future-type character. If Luciel truly grows to its peak, she will definitely be a legend and may even surpass it. She has such confidence. "Besides, if Leo and I join forces, plus you, we have about a 20% chance of defeating it."
"Only 20%?" Amberah hadn't expected that the two of them, after assimilating with Leo, could overpower the undead Gua with their full strength, and she really hadn't expected them to be at such a disadvantage against Grimd.
"That's already pretty high, okay?" Luciel rolled her eyes at Emperor. Back then, the King of Ultra used the Dark Spark and the Galaxy Spark to seal away Ultimate Darkness, so she had seen what kind of power Grimd possessed.
"Grimd's power had weakened considerably with the changing times, becoming comparable to Leo at full power. However, after obtaining the Ultimate Darkness, it became extremely troublesome, to the point that it could only be sealed away rather than destroyed."
From this perspective, Grimd's danger level is second only to the Dark Shadow Mage. Moreover, Grimd doesn't seem to be a mindless monster like Dark Maga Serpent. Whether it was Dark Gordis before or Dark Aker now, they were all manipulated by it.
"We're almost there."
Leo looked up at the sky and saw Sila and King Grand, who had arrived. Sila was in very poor condition, but her eyes showed no fear. She recognized the aura emanating from Dark Aker.
This is the guy who killed Mami, killed tens of thousands of people, and caused the doctor to feel guilty for the rest of his life, to the point that he overdrawn his life in his research and died a year ago. Sila felt this at the time.
The resentment clinging to Sila recognized Hernarak's presence. They wanted revenge, and Sila wanted revenge too, but it wasn't just blinded by hatred; she simply wanted to destroy the darkness that had brought this calamity in this final moment.
Without hesitation, Leo channeled his power into the Giga Battle Device and swung it down. This attack instilled a sense of crisis in Dark Aker, who knew it couldn't withstand the attack head-on. Hernarak decisively escaped from Aker's body with the Dark Heart and burrowed below.
What a joke! If I were to take that hit, I would definitely die. The opponent isn't some righteous Ultraman; he doesn't care about what happens to Ake's body.
Leo's Giga Battle Device landed on Arke's chest, cracking the crystal of the Galaxy Armor. Looking at Arke, who had returned to a stone statue, Leo breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, this move didn't work, otherwise Arke would have been seriously injured."
"He's already badly injured, hasn't he?" Emperor remarked. Even if Leo tried to hold back, the Giga Battle Device's special attack against Ultraman was still too strong. He could only thank Belial for the exclusive weapon.
Seeing Gauss and King Grand follow Sera, he chose to put away the statue of Aker. At the same time, he glanced at Sera, King Grand and Gauss flying towards him, and took out Lugoset's Spark Doll and threw it at Sera.
This is Sila's battle, and Leo will not interfere. Only when Sila personally defeats the Underworld General Hernarak will her resentment be released. It is more appropriate for Sila to resolve this grudge herself; Leo will handle the rest.
For example... that dark eye that appeared after the Galactic Armor was damaged, with profound energy leaking out, transformed into the shape of Grimd. Even though it was just an avatar, it still exuded a sense of oppression.
Leo beckoned to it, "Grimd, come on."
Chapter 371 Golza's Desire for Reconciliation
The earth trembled, and the volcano nearly erupted. While stabilizing the magma in the earth's veins, Renlong sensed the surrounding situation. Hernarak was being forced into a corner and was planning to fight in his true form.
Upon realizing that he had been secretly controlled and influenced by Grimd, Hernarak's first feeling was fear; he didn't even know when he had been targeted.
It's even possible that Grimd's gaze was already fixed on this place from the moment he obtained the heart and arrived here.
Although his old body had died and become a prison in the underworld that bound Egrind, Helnarak was able to revive and even become stronger than before thanks to the power of the Dark Heart in his hand!
Ako, who was fighting King Orb, felt the entire city trembling. "Hey, hey, hey, why are you making such a commotion?"
Raising her hand to block King Orb's claw attack, Ako curled her lip. This guy is really hard to deal with. King Orb was already quite strong, and it was further enhanced by that dark heart.
But now is not the time to get entangled with the other party. With Hernarak's resurgence, the Netherworld space has also reached its limit. The space here is about to collapse. Ako blasted Orb Mengs King with a cannon and then escaped through the interdimensional passage.
King Orb Mengs spread his wings and flew towards the ground. The entire space began to shrink, and the enormous body of Hernarak surged out from the ground. On the ground, the battle between Leo and Grimd had already begun.
Grand King, combined with the Spark Dolls of Godler and Bishop Gloca, and then assimilated with Leo, reached the ultimate strength of Grand King and rushed forward to fight Grimd.
Even though it's just an avatar, Grimd's strength is still not to be underestimated. This one is much more powerful than the one that possessed Dark Gordis. The red lightning released from its body can even make the Ultimate Grand King feel pain.
"King Grant, use your sword!"
Upon hearing Leo's words, King Grand swung his sword with his right hand, the Dark Cloth amplifying the attack. Grimd imbued his hand with energy, forcefully blocking the blow. Two laser beams shot from the eyes on his chest, and King Grand was forced to retreat repeatedly as he raised his claws.
"Isn't this defense a bit too much?" Leo shook his hand. King Grand's sword could even cut through the horns of Maga Orochi, but it was actually blocked by Grimd with one hand. And this was just a clone.
"This guy's attacks are terrifying. If it weren't for the two Spark Dolls and Leo, that move would have seriously injured me in his normal state."
Queen Grant shook her burning left hand. She hadn't expected that even just one of Grimd's clones would be so troublesome. This guy truly lived up to his reputation as a Chaos God.
Musashi, who had transformed into Goth, was also shocked. Even in his Cosmic Corona form, Grimd's attack just now could have easily knocked him back into his human form. This chaotic evil god was truly powerful. But he quickly remembered that it was he and Justice who had dealt with him back then.
It's really strange. How did I and Justice manage to hold our own against the other side and even seal it away back then?
Seeing Yako emerge from the interdimensional portal, Leo knew that Hernarak was about to appear as well. Looking up at Sila, whose aura had surged after absorbing Lugoset's Spark Doll, he said, "Sila, your opponent should be here soon."
As if it understood Leo's words, Sila let out a loud cry. The earth cracked open, and the volcano erupted with a large number of cocoons of light. After landing on the ground, they hatched into many monsters. Unlike the previous spirit Golza, these creatures all had physical forms.
Hernarak, as a general of the underworld, has the ability to resurrect the resentment of dead monsters. In fact, he could be considered a super-weakened version of a dark shadow mage.
After doing all this, Hernarak emerged from the ground. His body clearly had many monster characteristics. He himself was a monster formed from the fusion of the resentment of different monsters in the Monster Graveyard, and he could also use the abilities of these monsters.
With the energy boost from the Dark Heart, Hernarak's size rapidly expanded to over 300 meters. However, for Leo and the others, they had seen countless monsters even larger than this.
Gauss wanted to step forward to help, but Yako stopped him, saying, "Let her resolve this grudge herself. You just need to come and help me quietly."
With a cry from the sky, Sira unleashed a golden rain of light that rained down from her body, completely engulfing the monsters summoned by Helnarak. This attack was Lugoset's Primordial Light Rain, and the monsters summoned by Helnarak were annihilated before they could withstand the onslaught.
Hernarak was dumbfounded when he saw this. No, how was he supposed to fight this? Of course he recognized the monster that had been suppressing him on the volcano, but it didn't have this much power back then.
Sila felt the power within her body. It was a very difficult thing for her body to contain Lugoset, but since her body was already on the verge of death, how could she be afraid of burning again?
Grimd looked at Sila with greed in his eyes. Leo immediately saw that this clone wanted to absorb Sila to become stronger. "Don't even think about it!"
Before the red lightning could strike Sira, it was all blocked by Ultimate Grand King. Leo simply used his Zetton Barrier to create an isolated space. Of course, this was not to stop Grimd's clone, but simply to tell it that as long as Leo was there, it would not succeed.
Leo and Grimd were locked in combat. Musashi keenly realized that if Leo wanted to defeat his opponent, it wouldn't be so difficult. Was he hiding his power?
"Fine, I'll just deal with the other monsters summoned by Hernarak and Ako." With that thought, Musashi transformed into a Cosmic Corona and charged at a Golza, punching it until it was completely disoriented.
While the battle raged on this side, in Xingyuan City on the other side, Golza, the spirit who had been released by Hernarak to observe the outside world, sensed that he was about to have a physical form, but he was not happy at all.
Because right now, all three Flying Swallow IIs and one EXJ are aimed at him. Once he materializes, it means that his short life is over. What Golza can withstand the Max Cannon plus the Texas Beam?
The thought of this made cold sweat break out on the forehead of the spirit Golza. It kept gesturing, trying to express that it really didn't want to do anything bad, but the members of the GUTS team interpreted it differently.
"Oh, you dare to provoke me, huh? Just wait, Zelda missiles ready!"
In that instant, the spirit Golza felt that the Monster Graveyard, which he had never been to before, was still better. At least there he wouldn't be resurrected and used as cannon fodder, or kicked around like a stray dog.
Chapter 372 Great Revenge Achieved
When they heard that an unfamiliar monster had appeared, the first reaction of the ESCG members was not to return to the team, but to take out their transformation devices and beat it up. Can't they just have a break after finally getting a day off?
However, upon hearing that the Knicks had appeared, everyone's reaction was surprisingly consistent: "Oh, with the Knicks around, everything's fine. Judging from the lack of any major commotion on Earth, it's definitely not some great seal that's been broken."
But Daigo quickly recognized Sila, and as if remembering something, dialed the contact numbers of everyone except Leo.
