Blaze simply threw away the sapphire sword, clenched his fists, and punched the horn rapidly. The force was mutual, and he felt considerable pain with each punch.
"I can endure it!" Blaze clenched his fist, energy flowing through the red and blue patterns around his body and then converging on his fist.
"Ha!" As Blaze unleashed a punch, Ultimate Tyrant's horn snapped in two.
What was truly surprising was that the horn that Blaze had broken with his fist hadn't healed. Both the Shadow Mage and Leo were taken aback; this didn't fit their expectations.
In this environment enveloped in negative energy, as long as the injury doesn't severely damage the core and require repair, it will generally be healed in the blink of an eye.
Leo only knew that the light generated by the Max Power System had a certain suppressive effect on the ultimate darkness, but where would a physical attack get such a suppressive buff?
No, wait, what is that light surrounding Blaze?
Leo looked closely and found that Blaze's entire body was covered with a faint light, but this light was so faint that it was almost negligible. If it weren't for the negative energy surrounding him, it would be impossible to see him normally.
Moreover, it's not just Blaze; every other Ultraman has this aura, with Tiga and Nexus being the most obvious examples.
As the light appeared, their power seemed to increase significantly. Nexus crossed his hands and released a crescent-shaped light blade, which directly severed one of Ultimate Tyrant's tails.
It's worth noting that Nexus could only barely break one of Tyrant's horns with Layered Storm.
Tiga flew directly to Ultimate Tyrant's chest. The Twin-Tailed Monster's eyes flashed, and Tiga placed his hands on the timer, releasing a strong flash of light that even dispelled the surrounding negative energy.
The two massive energies collided, sending Daigo flying backward, while Ultimate Tyrant's eyes, belonging to the Twin-Tailed Monster, were directly burned out.
The Shadow Mage only lacks a mouth, otherwise his mouth would probably be agape the widest in the world right now. Wait a minute, it wasn't like this 30 million years ago. Why are they…?
Is this the kind of light? The same light as Sila back then! This thought flashed through Leo's mind, and suddenly he heard a faint heartbeat.
The heart that Leo had put away seemed to sense something, awakening from its slumber and beginning to beat slowly, then faster and faster, with the beating becoming increasingly powerful.
The Dark Shadow Mage also heard the heartbeat and stared intently at Leo. Even though this thing was just a collection of negative energy without a physical form, Leo could still feel the venomous gaze.
"No wonder that good-for-nothing Hernarak didn't react at all; it turns out the heart was in your body! Give it back!"
This time, Daigo and Komon's eyes also fell on Leo. What the hell? What heart? Why has the vice-captain never mentioned it before?
Leo's eyelids twitched, thinking, "This is bad! Is my identity going to be exposed here? No, I can't let Daigo and the others keep thinking about this!"
Leo immediately told King Joe to turn the speakerphone volume up to the maximum, and then shouted, "I'm not giving it back! I said I'm not giving it back, and that means I'm not giving it back! I found it, and whoever finds it keeps it!"
How can a person be so shameless? The Dark Shadow Mage thought to himself, "Your Nix's power can dominate the entire universe, where is your self-respect as a strongman?"
Of course, such a thing doesn't exist. Leo immediately fired the new Max Cannon at the Dark Shadow Mage, saying, "Enough talk!"
The Dark Shadow Mage was seething with hatred. All he wanted now was to take the heart back from Leo, but he was no match for Leo.
In the end, he was just an avatar. Even if he gained power from the main body due to the weakening of the seal, he could not possibly defeat Leo. It would be more likely if he called Tartarus over.
However, the merging of the two worlds is at a critical moment, and the Dark Shadow Mage cannot afford to lose sight of the bigger picture and let all his preparations go to waste.
Ultimately, even if they obtained the heart, finding a suitable vessel to hold it would be too troublesome. At present, Triga's whereabouts are unknown, and as for Leo... ha, the Dark Shadow Mage doesn't believe he would dare to use this thing.
With a flick of his right hand, which belonged to Barabá, Ultimate Tyrant sent the grappling hook hurtling toward Armory King Joe with lightning speed.
Just as Leo was about to dodge, a powerful suction force suddenly erupted from the abdomen of the giant Bemstar, forcefully pulling him and Daigo and the others who wanted to come to their aid.
Good heavens, there's even a combo attack! Leo simply pulled out the Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device. He had already noticed that the wounds Gentoo and Daigo had inflicted earlier were starting to heal.
This means that although the attacks of the group can suppress the powerful regenerative ability of Ultimate Tyrant, as long as it cannot be completely killed, Ultimate Darkness will still give it a certain degree of immortality.
The matter cannot be delayed. This is one of the fulcrums of the ley lines. The Dark Mage chose this place as the battleground largely to exploit everyone's weakness. The longer this goes on, the more restless the darkness will become.
Originally, Leo wanted to see if the Shadow Mage had any other trump cards, but he couldn't care less now. He gritted his teeth and said, "King Joe, this is yours!"
EX Zetton appeared in front of Ultimate Tyrant in an instant, and a huge fireball hit Ultimate Tyrant in the face, making it feel like it had been punched hard.
After being assimilated by Leo and fused with the Spark Doll, EX Zetton's strength was naturally extraordinary. Armory King Joe seized the opportunity to disintegrate and dodge the grappling hook, with only his lower body legs being smashed by the giant grappling hook.
Daigo and the others tensed up, fearing something might happen to Leo, but King Joe, the Armored One, spoke with his usual firm voice, "It doesn't matter, the legs are just decorations!"
Daigo and the others were relieved, but Leo couldn't help but scratch his head. Wait, isn't King Joe a little too active now that he has his own consciousness?
However, for King Joe, it was true that as long as the core was not damaged, losing a hand, foot, or head was no big deal. Her only dissatisfaction was that she did not have a human body.
There was no other way; as a tenured employee, she couldn't just stay by Leo's side and do nothing.
Dark Cloth appeared in his hand. Leo severed the grappling hook with a single sword strike, and the overflowing ultimate darkness rushed toward him without hesitation. Leo accepted it all without any courtesy.
"Heh, keep absorbing. I want to see how long you can hold out." The Dark Shadow Mage chuckled sinisterly. His plan this time was simple: to see just how much more Ultimate Darkness Leo could absorb.
If Leo also loses control, that would be interesting.
Chapter 518 Gatanothor had planned this all along.
The reason it didn't directly transform into Ultimate Grand King is because Ultimate Grand King and Ultimate Tyrant are really incompatible. Both are the type with thick skin and tough flesh. Ultimate Grand King's beam attack can even be absorbed by Bemstar's abdomen.
Therefore, EX Zetton is the best choice. Zetton and Renlong also have the highest synchronization rate with Leo at present, which is enough to deal with this situation.
Daigo and the others could actually kill Ultimate Tyrant with their combined output, but Ultimate Darkness still needed Leo to absorb it, and no one else could do it.
This was an open conspiracy, and everyone understood it. The Dark Shadow Mage deliberately created a space filled with negative energy and deliberately sent the ultimate darkness to Leo, just to make him completely lose control.
Ultimate Tyrant is very similar to Ultimate Grand King, which is why it is completely countered by EX Zetton. All of its attacks either miss or are perfectly blocked by Zetton's barrier, so that Armory King Joe only needs to observe from the edge as always.
As the battle progressed, the darkness emanating from Ultimate Tyrant surged toward Leo, its power noticeably weakening and losing its earlier ferocity.
With the reduction of ultimate darkness, the negative energy also decreased significantly, and Ultimate Tyrant's pain eased. However, he was still being controlled by the Dark Shadow Mage and continued to launch attacks.
But instead, Leo suffered. The ultimate darkness he absorbed last time was not stable to begin with, and although he absorbed less this time, it was constantly becoming the straw that broke the camel's back.
(Leo, how are you doing? If it's really too much, the three of us can help. I can help you share some of the burden.)
Zetton opened a barrier to block the lightning released from Ultimate Tyrant's body. Zetton and Leo communicated telepathically, and Zetton clearly felt Leo's pain.
"There's nothing we can do about it." In the distance of the battlefield, Gatanothor sat on a cliff watching the seven Ultramen restrain Ultimate Tyrant, while EX Zetton held the Dark Cloth.
“Leo is intentionally controlling the pace of this battle; it seems that the ultimate darkness within him has reached a limit.”
Grimd's voice came from behind Gatanothor, but Gatanothor didn't even bother to turn around, simply resting his chin on his hand lazily. "Yes, you absorbed three great seals, but you haven't managed to produce a single monster that corresponds to them."
"You've discovered the Ultimate Fighting Device too, haven't you? If you try to absorb the Ultimate Darkness directly and then convert it, something terrible will happen." Grimd sat down next to Gatanothor, watching Leo not far away.
"If it weren't for this reason, how could those four guys have been allowed to get their hands on Ultimate Darkness?"
Gatanothor rolled his eyes, but inadvertently revealed a piece of information that would freeze Renlong in place, and even Leo's reaction would probably not be much better.
After all, who could have imagined that the Maga Serpent, Lugoset, Saigoku, and Gordis, who were able to obtain the Ultimate Darkness and become formidable sealed monsters 30 million years ago, would all be arranged by Gatanothor?
“If we don’t do this, once Leo awakens and grows, and the light within him fully matures, we’ll have no chance.” Gatanothor glanced at Grimd. “But what’s with your outfit?”
Sitting next to Gatanothor, Grimd was also in human form at the moment, but she retained many monster features. However, unlike the monsters of the Leo family, her skin was purple, and she retained her original features.
“Just like you, my skin is naturally purple, what’s so strange about that?” Grimd looked at his body.
Even though he received the memories of the clone, he still acts solely based on his own whims. Gatanothor sighed, wondering how his opponent could be so despicable.
Could it be that when the Chaos God split in two, the good parts were given to Leo, while the bad parts were all in this guy?
“Leo’s aesthetic sense is human aesthetic sense. He’s even less likely to like you if you look like this. It’s commendable that you made the eyes on your head into decorations, but you’d better look more human.”
Hearing Gatanothor say that, Grimd rolled her eyes, but still obediently turned into a white-skinned person. Gatanothor glanced at her chest and then snorted, "What's the use of growing up like this?"
"Leo, ah Leo, what a pity, I can't let you return to my body in your radiant form..." Grimd looked at Leo fighting, his tone full of regret, and his eyes were also very sad.
She genuinely hoped that the current Leo could completely merge with her, so that she could not only obtain the portion of Ultimate Darkness that Gatanothor had separated from her, but also return to the heyday of the Chaos God.
Unfortunately, Leo's attitude was too resolute, which only caused him to completely lose control and become the same darkness, making him at most slightly worse than before.
“He is mine.” Gatanothor’s tone was flat, but it was as if he were simply stating a fact. Grimd was very unhappy, but he couldn’t afford to break off relations now.
Unfortunately, Leo's strength may still be far inferior to theirs, but he was born to solve the problem of Ultimate Darkness and to deal with them.
"Is this the future you saw 30 million years ago? It's different from mine. I saw it right beside me."
“No, I just have no doubt that he will belong to me.” Gatanjeer rested his chin on his hand, his gaze fixed on Leo.
Ah, Leo, that's amazing. Even after absorbing so much ultimate darkness, the light that was ignited deep within your heart has never been extinguished. But it must have been very painful.
The power of light has not been fully awakened, and has only just begun to sprout, while the ultimate darkness is so vast, as is the negative energy. The pressure of these two unbalanced forces fighting for control within the body is considerable.
Gatanothor knew Leo better than anyone else in the world. Over the past thirty million years, she had been observing everything about Leo, meticulously processing and digesting the future she saw in her mind time and time again.
Leo's preferences, habits, and personality were all like this; she even counted how many strands of hair Leo had when she had nothing else to do.
Gatanothor knew very well that if Leo were allowed to grow up naturally as Delacion and the King of Ultra had planned, it would be too late.
The Dark Lord's core grants him an unparalleled affinity for ultimate darkness, while the light half and plasma sparks that separated from chaos can transform this darkness.
In Delacion's best-case scenario, Leo would only need a little over two months to grow to the legendary level, enough to confront the Dark Shadow Mage's true form, as well as Grimd, and completely eliminate them.
That's why Gatanothor intervened. She deliberately didn't defeat Tiga and Nexus at that time, but chose to wait, waiting for Lugoset to chase after her, and for Saigoku and Maga Orochi to get a share of the spoils.
Only in this way can Leo defeat these guys ahead of time to obtain and contain the ultimate darkness, which in turn will curb his growth rate and talent, making him hesitant to act rashly in every battle.
Lose control, Leo. Even if you lose control, you won't completely go mad. I will still preserve this planet for the humans you love, and I don't mind having more pets. I'm willing to make such concessions for you.
Gatanothor thought to herself that countless others agreed, having observed and deduced countless times over a long period of time, driving herself to this point of mental fragmentation. As long as she could obtain Leo, it would all be worth it.
Gatanothor held up a bright smile as he made a box with both hands, aiming it firmly at Leo. "Leo, it was destined from the moment the Dark Spark and the Ultimate Fighting Device created a body for you. You can't escape."
Yes, from that moment on, Gatanothor had no worries anymore. Leo would never have imagined that when the Zettonians and Pedanians invaded together, Sphia got the better deal, and it was Gatanothor who lured Chaos Sphia there.
To be precise, it was Gatanothor who was still under Gatanothor's control at the time. Who would have thought that her actions were actually just to lure Sphia and allow Leo and Ultimate Darkness to be further assimilated?
Chaosfia's EX Pedanium Zetton destroyed Leo's body, which naturally led to the Ultimate Fighting Device and Dark Spark using Ultimate Darkness to create a new body for him.
Otherwise, what we would be facing now wouldn't be EX Zetton, but something far more terrifying.
Chapter 519 Bathing in Full Moonlight Waves
Troublesome, that was the only thought in Leo's mind. If he were serious, he could simply transform into Dark Lugiel, and after stacking Lugoset's Spark Doll, it wouldn't be difficult to defeat Ultimate Tyrant.
However, he couldn't do that. He had to control his output to avoid absorbing too much Ultimate Darkness at once, which would allow the Dark Shadow Mage and his group to succeed in their scheme.
The Dark Shadow Mage's words were clearly overheard by Daigo and the others, making them somewhat hesitant to act.
This was very uncomfortable, making one unable to help but feel irritable. Raising his hand to block the ultimate Tyrant's flash, Leo swung his sword again to seal the huge suction port on its abdomen, buying more time for Daigo and the others.
Leo estimated that the participants in this incident were not limited to the Dark Shadow Mage; Gatanothor and Grimd were probably also involved. The two of them knew him too well and could easily find ways to target him.
Every gift of fate comes with a price tag attached; all those who believe they can change the future become the best signposts of fate from the moment they glimpse it.
Whose voice is that? Leo covered his head, wondering what was going on with this voice that suddenly appeared in his mind. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
But the next voice was very familiar to Leo, and it was precisely because of this familiarity that he was so surprised that he froze on the spot.
"Ha, how cunning. But this deal isn't bad. I can agree to it, but how can you ensure this plan doesn't spiral out of control?"
Although it would sound different to others, Leo knew very well that it was his own voice, with the same way of speaking and tone!
The only difference is between youth and middle age, but what's going on here? Why is this voice appearing at this particular time? Is it the Dark Shadow Mage or Gatanothor interfering with me?
Because I am Delacion, the great prophet of the universe.
Delacion?! Leo suddenly snapped back to reality as Ultimate Tyrant, which was much larger than Blaze, slammed him away and crashed heavily to the ground.
Compared to physical pain, the pain from the soul was even more unbearable. Leo stood up, feeling a buzzing in his head, his consciousness was somewhat blurred, and his vision was not very clear.
This was a sign that the ultimate darkness within him was about to completely spiral out of control. He was in excruciating pain. Leo gritted his teeth, teleported to his feet, and immediately pulled out the Dark Spark.
Dark energy surged from EX Zetton's hand, completely controlling Ultimate Tyrant as he attempted to turn him into a Spark Doll.
Ultimately, Dark Spark's potential has not been fully realized, as there hasn't been enough time. However, Ultimate Tyrant has been significantly weakened, so it should be close to being fully realized.
"What a brilliant idea! You didn't even ask if I agreed!" The Dark Shadow Mage sneered, raising his hand as a bolt of black lightning shot directly towards Leo.
Tiga and Nexus flew in front of Leo and set up a barrier to block the attack. The two were almost blown away by the enormous force. Nexus's usually strong shield was even cracked by the attack.
Blaze and the others rushed to help, while secretly marveling at the power of the Dark Shadow Mage, especially since this was just an avatar.
If a casual attack already possesses such terrifying power, then why doesn't he do it himself? Is it because he disdains it? No, this guy is up to something!
A massive energy reaction instantly appeared behind them, and before they could even react, they were hit solidly by the explosion, which engulfed everyone.
Everyone was blasted to the ground, and the timers on their chests began to flash continuously. The intense pain made it impossible for them to even stand up. The barrier of EX Zetton was even shattered by this attack.
"How is this possible... Ultra Bomb?" Orb clutched his chest, trying to stand up, but his legs gave way and he collapsed again.
