Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

"Oh dear, you've seen through me." Gatanothor revealed a sly smile, which then turned cold and ferocious. Suddenly, a large number of tentacles appeared in the surrounding seawater and attacked Leo.

“Talking to stall for time is a trick I don’t really use myself!” Leo raised his hand, and powerful electric currents continuously erupted from the ground within hundreds of meters around him, causing the surrounding seawater to boil instantly. The roots of the Zigela flower, along with the tentacles of Gatanothor, were all entangled by the electric current.

During the pauses in the conversation, Gatanothor was stalling for time, while Leo was secretly channeling electricity into the ground to uproot all the roots at once. He knew, of course, that Gatanothor was influencing his mind with the Zigera flower, but this was exactly what the Reiblood aliens feared least.

Chapter 476 Gatanothor's True Purpose

Sure enough, what was here was just an avatar. Leo had already sensed it when the lightning entangled Gatanothor's tentacles. Compared to the spiritual entity he had encountered in his dream, this Gatanothor did not display much power.

Even though it was just a clone, it was able to hold its own against me in this state for a short time, which shows how powerful Gatanothor is. After all, Leo is now assimilated with Eleking and has also gained the power of Dark Lugiel, so he is definitely above MK2.

"Leo, Leo, why refuse? If you unite with me, I will make everything you want to do possible."

Gatanothor's voice came from all around, a voice filled with unwavering determination, but the remaining ninety percent of its intense killing intent made Leo extremely vigilant. As one of the three pillars of the ancient seal, Gatanothor's abilities were far more than that.

This guy has another purpose for stalling for time, but Leo can't afford to be distracted by thinking too much right now. He underestimated the Gijera Mother Body, which was strengthened by the Ultimate Darkness. He didn't expect that his mental power as a new Reibrondo would be affected by the Gijera Flower.

If it were someone else here, they would probably have been controlled by the illusions long ago and wouldn't even be able to distinguish friend from foe.

"So that's how it is. It lets all the offspring spread pollen, causing all the monsters and humans to fall into a dream, and then uses the mother as the core to connect these spirits." Leo raised his hand and cut off the attacking tentacles, discovering that many of them were actually vines of the Zijera flower in disguise.

"In this way, it's like connecting the minds of all the controlled people and monsters into a huge net, which serves as the support for the Zijera Flower Mother, to the point that it can even interfere with me."

"As expected of Leo, he's really smart." Gatanothor clapped and praised, acknowledging Leo's guess, but then, as if remembering something, he shook his head regretfully.

"Unfortunately, I didn't expect you to not arrive here immediately to uproot the mother plant of the Zijera flower, but instead waited until now to take action. Currently, only one-tenth of humanity has been completely bewitched by the Zijera, and the strength of its spiritual power is not enough to completely capture you."

That's true. Just thinking about it makes Leo feel a little scared. If he had tried to find the main body of the Gijera Flower as soon as it bloomed, it would have been like walking into a trap. With the mental network built by all of humanity and a large number of monsters as its foundation, the Gijera Flower could indeed shake Leo's mental body.

Even so, plus the clones of Dark Triga and Gatanothor, it wasn't enough to take down Leo. What other tricks does Gatanothor have up his sleeve...? No, that's not right!

A powerful electric current erupted from Dark Lugieleking's body, shattering all the attacking tentacles. Leo's eyes grew even colder. "I thought you still had some tricks up your sleeve. You were misleading me into going this way."

“But your target isn’t me; you just want to keep me here. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have only sent one clone, and you wouldn’t have tried to attack me now that Zijera’s power has weakened.”

Hearing that Leo had seen through his plan, Gatanothor clapped again, "Great, Leo, you're really amazing, ah... I'm suddenly so jealous of the part that separated from me."

"Leo, if I call you Dad, will you be willing to marry me? Sigh, if it weren't for the interference of the Earth's will back then, I could have directly obtained you when you fell to this planet."

Thinking of this, Gatanothor felt a deep sense of regret. The reason Golza first appeared and caused chaos ten years ago was because her seal was completely broken, and the seal of the ultimate darkness began to waver.

Gatanothor had already sensed Leo's presence, but due to interference from the Earth's will, she was unable to take any action and could only watch helplessly as Leo fell into the ley line where Renlong was located.

If it were her who obtained and nurtured Leo, ah, what a pity. Gatanothor felt more and more regretful the more she thought about it. The darkness created by the obsession of the Earth's will had also brought about a turning point because of her persistence.

"Don't you have any sense of shame..." Leo was really losing his temper. He could accept the difference in strength between himself and Gatanothor, but this guy's mouth was just... what kind of nonsense was this?

“I am a monster, and human concepts are useless to me.” Gatanothor waved his hand dismissively, a smirk playing on his lips. “However, if Leo is willing to stay with me, I might be willing to let them go.”

"Even now, you still want to use such words to disrupt my thoughts?" Leo continued to release powerful electric currents from his body, his gaze fixed on Gatanothor. "What's in Antarctica?"

As Yako mentioned before, a significant portion of the pollen from the Zigera flower accumulates in Antarctica, but the environment there is unsuitable for plant survival. The offspring of the Zigera flower are essentially no different in that place than at night.

Leo didn't have time to think too much at the time; his attention was focused on other things. Now it seems he was really tricked.

"You found out so quickly... Leo, how many more surprises are you going to give me?" Gatanothor opened his arms as if to hug Leo, then shook his head regretfully, "But I can't tell you."

“...It’s Zagi, right?” After Leo finished speaking, he noticed that although Gatanothor’s expression did not change, his attack paused for a moment, which meant that he was right.

"Looks like my surprise was just right." Leo's face was gloomy. "Zaki is certainly strong, but he's not very bright. He didn't realize that the alien beast had actually been under your control for a long time."

"Let me guess, you plan to give Dark Trigger's body to Zagi, and then completely devour him as well?"

“This is really…” Gatanothor sighed. This time she didn’t applaud. The surrounding seawater was boiling, but Leo felt a chill. He was right, absolutely right.

“I didn’t reveal much information, but even so, you were still able to accurately guess the truth of the matter. Leo, Leo, the more I understand you, the more satisfied I am with you. But why are you unwilling to come to my side?”

Gatanothor's eyes revealed an undisguised, burning love, yet she also made no attempt to conceal her intense possessiveness. She didn't think she could keep it from Leo forever, but she never expected that Leo would be able to guess her purpose so directly.

She was becoming more and more satisfied with Leo. Damn it, why wasn't Leo by her side from the beginning?

Gatanothor had never felt such regret as she did now. If she could have Leo, why would she have gone to so much trouble and focused her attention on this imitation of Zagi?

Chapter 477 Dark Lucifer

Deep beneath the Indian Ocean, Gatanothor reached out his hand to Leo, his tone more sincere than ever before, "Leo, come to my side."

"I refuse." Leo calculated the time in his mind, estimating that the outside would soon be taking action, and there was no need for him to delay any longer; he should just take action directly.

If this drags on too long, Fujimiya will definitely lose his temper and transform to come over. Leo doesn't want to reveal that "Nix can actually spare the time to help Earth."

“Why refuse? Leo, I’ve said it before, all I want is you.” Gatanothor shook his head incessantly. “What I seek is eternal darkness, but if it is your wish, I can spare humanity and this planet.”

“I can allow this planet to retain its sun, and I will even help you fight the Dark Mage and Grimd, as long as you are willing to stay with me. Even then, you still won’t agree?”

Looking at Gatanothor's pitiful and regretful expression, Leo took a deep breath. Gatanothor was much more humane than he had thought, but he didn't believe the conditions the other party had offered.

Gatanothor was already a powerful monster, and it took away so much of the ultimate darkness. To put it bluntly, even a being like the undead Gua would have a problem lasting a few minutes in front of her.

“Well, this isn’t a surprising result. After all, if he could agree to me so easily, Leo wouldn’t be the person I’ve chosen.” Gatanothor sighed. “Unfortunately, my true form isn’t here…”

Danger! Leo's intuition suddenly warned him like never before, and Gatanothor's slightly mocking laughter reached his ears, "That's what you think, isn't it?"

The electric grid formed by the powerful current was suddenly torn apart, and a large number of tentacles wrapped around Leo's hands and feet, completely enveloping him.

“Leo, you’re right. I do have many objectives for this mission. One is to stop you from interfering with the Dark Shadow Mage’s actions. The second is to weaken the Light of Humanity. The third is to use Zijera Flower to influence Fried Chicken.”

The tentacles, powerful enough to easily crush the MK2 into scrap metal, continued to shrink without releasing a single jolt of electricity. Gatanothor's clone arrived in front of this "cocoon".

“But the most crucial thing is still you.” Gatanothor’s gaze was fixed on Leo. “I just didn’t expect that you would discover that I was still targeting Zagi.”

"But that's fine too. It distracts you. Although even the minds of Reibloods are disturbed in this sea full of Zijera pollen, your intuition should give you a warning sooner."

Gatanothor's true form is indeed not here, but it is also here. If it were its true form, it wouldn't need to say so much to Leo. It could have completely subdued Leo the moment he entered the ocean.

Gatanothor had that confidence, and she certainly had that ability.

Gatanothor glanced at the mother plant of the Qijiela flower, but he didn't feel any heartache. Although Leo had uprooted the entire mother plant in an instant, as long as the offspring individuals were still there, the mother plant could grow back.

The cocoon was quickly retrieved, and Gatanothor glanced in the direction of Antarctica. "Now... let me see what's going on with Zaki."

Although Zagi wouldn't care as long as he got Leo, since the plan had already progressed this far, he might as well continue. After all... even though it was a copy, it was still the one being copied, so it had its value.

Zaki probably never dreamed that he would fall for such a trick, but he was a biological weapon and also had the characteristics of a living being. However, what was more important was the direct sneak attack from the mother of the alien beast.

Looking at Yamaoka Hajime, or rather Zagi, lying on the ground, Yamazaki stared incredulously at the Alien Beast Mother, "Who exactly are you...?"

The mother monster's tentacle pierced Zagi's body, but this tentacle did not belong to it; it came from Gatanothor, which is why it was able to break through Zagi's defenses without being detected.

The evil eyes looked at the trembling Yamazaki, but the Beast Mother spoke in Gatanothor's voice, "Oh, human... Hmm, what a dark heart. If only Leo had such a dark heart, alas, but that would be worse."

"But since things have come to this, let's make use of it." The alien beast mother extended countless tentacles, directly binding Yamazaki, and then looked at Zaki lying on the ground.

It was indeed an existence powerful enough to force visitors to destroy their home planet. Even after being knocked down by a large amount of Qijiela flower essence, it was not completely controlled by the dream it created, and its brain remained quite active.

Why would the alien beast mother betray him? Before Zagi could even figure it out, the high-purity Qijera flower essence was directly injected into Yamaoka's body.

This was Zagi's mistake in choosing a human as a host, but it was also his predicament. Even with his immense power, he lacked a body to perfectly unleash it.

Therefore, after receiving the signal frequency band emitted by the River of Oblivion during its autonomous operation, Zaki made up his mind that he wanted to obtain the enormous power contained within the River of Oblivion.

In this way, not only can one perfectly restore one's body, but one can also go a step further and reach or even surpass the legendary realm that served as one's prototype.

Unwilling to be merely a copy, unwilling to be just a weapon, unwilling to always be called a replica of that guy, Zagi wanted to prove that he was stronger than him.

That's why he controls the alien beasts, why he came to this planet, and why he wants to become stronger until one day he can defeat that guy, that hateful light.

"Noah!!!" With a roar from Zagi, a massive amount of energy erupted instantly, directly blasting away one of Gatanothor's tentacles. Even Gatanothor, who was controlling the mother of the alien beasts, was surprised, "What?"

However, what was even more surprising was something else entirely. Gatanothor suddenly sensed something and looked at Leo, who was supposed to be taken away and was entangled by its countless tentacles. An unprecedentedly vast energy was brewing within it.

Gatanothor's eyes immediately turned cold, but then, as if he had thought of something, he quickly laughed.

"Yes, that's more like it. If I caught you like that, it would make you look like you're not up to par. Hmm... it seems I won't be able to get you today."

"However, since you have demonstrated such power, let me leave you a gift to test your current limits."

Gatanothor gradually transformed into a thick black fog, forming a door. At the same time, the Alien Beast Mother received instructions from Gatanothor and swallowed Zagi, who was possessing Yamaoka, and Yamazaki Assistant, who had become Dark Mephisto, in one gulp.

The immense energy and ultimate darkness intertwined, causing an extraordinary change in the appearance of the Alien Beast Mother. In the end, only Gatanothor's voice echoed throughout the underground cavern.

"Zaki, you want a new body, right? Here you go. This body, combined with my darkness, will serve as a whetstone for Leo, so that he can reach the level I want!"

"However, such an attitude is truly... haha. How about this, I'll give you a new name, how about Dark Lucifer?"

Its jet-black body was covered with blood-red patterns, and its ferocious beast face was twisted, somewhat resembling Ultraman. The faces of Dark Mephisto and Dark Faust grew out from the left and right sides of its slender neck.

Its hands and feet transformed into sharp claws, its blood-red wrist blades gleamed with a cold light, and two horns grew from its shoulder blades. The alien beast mother and Dark Zagi completely merged, transforming into the form of Dark Lucifer.

It seemed there was room for further progress, but Gatanothor was too lazy to provide any more darkness. She hadn't fully regained control of her body yet, and she had only gone this far to test Leo's limits.

It's truly surprising, but that's exactly Leo's style. No matter what, he always keeps something in reserve, always having a trump card hidden until the very end.

Chapter 478 King Hyperion

Leo hadn't expected that Gatanothor's main body had actually regained its mobility, albeit only partially, which gave him a clearer understanding of what kind of opponent he was facing.

"This is really... terrible." Leo could clearly feel that his strength was not as good as Gatanothor's. The strength of these tentacles was even greater than that of Demaga when he opened the Time-Space Dimension. The power of Eleking combined with the power of the Dark Spark was simply not enough.

Moreover, Leo's power is constantly being drained by these tentacles. He can hold on for now, but if this drags on for too long, Leo will definitely fall into Gatanothor's hands and lose any chance to turn the tables.

Gatanothor's tentacles continued to contract and squeeze, trying to deprive Leo of any room to resist. The electric currents erupting around Leo were all blocked by the tentacles, making it impossible for him to break through.

With the space compressed to almost nothing, Leo had no choice but to deactivate his transformation and use his telekinesis to create a barrier to buy himself some space, but his head was also throbbing with pain from the compression.

"Leo!" Ellie supported Leo, noticing his pale face and beads of sweat on his forehead, realizing that Leo's condition was probably very bad. "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's alright, but... these tentacles are really hard to deal with." Leo couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Relying solely on the power of Dark Lugiel and assimilation with Ereshkigal, he was at most on par with the undead Gua, yet he couldn't even handle these tentacles.

Does this mean the update nerfed Gatanothor? Of course not, it's simply because Gatanothor's stats are too high.

"I'm sorry, Leo, it's all because I'm not strong enough. If Zetton or Dimaga were here..."

“Even so, the situation won’t improve.” Leo shook his head. “Zetton and Dimaga can’t unleash their full power in this environment. To fight Gatanothor’s trap, Dimaga will probably have to open the spacetime dimension to its maximum.”

But if it really comes to that, Earth will be completely destroyed by the massive spacetime barrier created by Dimaga. This sea area is polluted by Gatanothor's darkness and the pollen of the Gijera Flower, making it a battlefield that is also very disadvantageous for Leo.

Gatanothor knew Leo too well. She drained Leo's strength but released her own ultimate darkness, allowing this energy to surge into Leo's body. This caused the ultimate darkness within Leo to go out of control, which was the root cause of Leo's pale face.

“These damn tentacles…” Eresh clenched her fists. Leo pressed down on her shoulder and shook his head. “No, you can’t break these tentacles on your own. Now, we have no choice but to try, even though it’s a bit risky.”

"Aileen." Leo looked into Aileen's eyes, which were like pink gemstones. "Are you willing to give me everything you have?"

"Of course!" Aileen hugged Leo tightly, her tone unwavering. "Everything I have is yours, my life, my soul, Leo, take it if you want!"

"Then everything I have belongs to you, Ellie. Let's go."

Leo took out the Dark Spark and Lugoset's Spark Doll, and Ereshkigal immediately understood his idea, taking out the Virtual Dark Spark and Dark Ultra Killer's Spark Doll.

"Leo, am I really capable now?"

However, Ereshkigal was still somewhat uncertain. The Spark Doll of Dark Ultra Killer was highly compatible with her, but she couldn't control such a powerful force with her current strength, let alone with the addition of Dark Lugiel and Lugoset.

Eresh wasn't worried about what would happen to her, but rather about whether she could withstand the power and cause Leo's plan to fail. She didn't want to become a burden to Leo.

“I believe in you, Ellie.” Leo squeezed Ellie’s hand. “I’m here for you.”

Looking into Leo's eyes, Ereshkigal knew she didn't have much time to think. Gatanothor's tentacles contracted once more, and the gap created by Leo's psychic power was breached in the blink of an eye.

Ereshkigal bit Leo's lip, and a strong electric current enveloped the two of them. Dark Sparks and Virtual Dark Sparks simultaneously landed on the two Spark Dolls.

[Dark Materialization Fusion: Dark Lugiel, Dark Lugoset, Empera Alien]

[Dark Materialization Fusion Electric Dragon Eleking Dark Ultra Killer!]

This was the first time Leo had made such a risky decision. Even he himself dared not easily attempt to fuse more than three times at once, because even with the mental strength of the Reiblood aliens, this was an extremely burdensome act.

This time, however, Leo will have to perform five fusions directly, which will put a lot of pressure on Ereshkigal. Leo can only try to bear most of the pressure while hoping that Ereshkigal can hold on.

Power, an unprecedentedly powerful force, surged from her body, accompanied by immense pain. Every cell in Ellie's body felt as if it were being ravaged and torn apart. She even wanted to scream, but she couldn't utter a sound.

She knew she was only experiencing a small part of the pain; Leo was probably close to fainting. It was all her fault for being too weak, all her fault…

This can't really be blamed on Ereshkigal. As a monster, she's still too young. She didn't participate in many battles with the Pitt aliens before, and only started to grow up after coming to Earth.
