"My mom and dad... and everyone else, why are they all dead!"
"I said, everything will be destroyed, and the people you care about and the people you don't care about will all die."
"Why is this happening!"
"Because Nighold's power has awakened and been plundered by the outsider Sphia."
"...What should I do..."
"I do not know."
The two exchanged questions and answers, then fell into a long silence.
Lu Mingze was powerless; he could only watch as Lu Mingfei made his choice.
As for Lu Mingfei... he was originally a cowardly child. How could he easily make a choice when faced with a responsibility that should not belong to him in the first place?
If he chooses to run away, it is not his fault.
After a long silence, Lu Mingfei finally made up his mind and spoke.
"who am I?"
"You are me, and I am you."
"Don't you dare play riddles with me! I'm asking you, why do you want me to make a choice? What's so special about me?!" Lu Mingfei roared.
"Because...you and I are both Nighold, the Black King."
"...If I were the Black King Nighold...could I compete with Sphia for this power!"
"I do not know."
"You don't know? You don't know! You always say you're so great, how come you don't know anything now!"
"Because this was your choice, brother, I don't know."
"--you!"
Lu Mingfei forced himself not to get angry, then clenched his fists, his whole body trembling.
It seems that he is making some kind of difficult decision.
"I merge with you..."
"Really, brother!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingze's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, it's true. I want to try... defeat Sphia and stop the destruction..."
Lu Mingfei said these words guiltily, while Lu Mingze looked at his brother with curiosity.
This doesn't seem like the loser he remembers.
Is this a case of being possessed?
"Why does my brother want to protect this world?"
Lu Mingze was very curious.
Lu Mingfei raised his head, trying his best to appear firm and decisive, but in reality, his body was trembling.
"Of course, it's because I don't want my mom and dad to die, even though I don't even know what they look like... and my aunt and uncle, even though they don't like me, at least they raised me..."
"And there's that girl named Zero, she saved me... I can't let her die."
Finally, a voice echoed in Lu Mingfei's heart.
Your courage is something you should be proud of.
Lu Mingze looked at Lu Mingfei, who was completely different from before.
He suddenly felt a strange power emanating from Lu Mingfei.
That power was pure and warm.
Moreover, when did Lu Mingfei become so brave?
It seems to be...
Lu Mingze's eyes widened!
This illusion was created under his guidance.
But it wasn't entirely his creation.
Because this illusion is essentially a prophecy, something that will happen in the future.
Lu Mingze cannot control the future.
But Lu Mingze saw something behind Lu Mingfei in this illusion.
Suddenly, a tall giant appeared.
Giants confronted a colossal beast in the sky.
The rain of fire falling from the sky pelted the giant, but the giant remained unmoved.
—A giant, a giant of light, Ultraman Tiga!
Ultraman stands on the earth, protecting humanity and the world.
"That's it...that's it!"
Lu Mingze seemed to have received an answer and burst into laughter.
"Because of Ultraman's power?"
"What a strange existence!"
"Hey, brother, I'll take you... to become the Black King Nighold!"
Lu Mingze reached out his hand to Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei did not hesitate and grasped Lu Mingze's hand.
Lu Mingze's consciousness temporarily took control of Lu Mingfei's body, leading him toward Cassel.
Behind him followed a petite blonde girl.
When Angers and Li Xiang arrived at the destroyed ice cellar, a white, tree-like creature had sprouted from the ruins.
Standing under the big tree was Lu Mingfei, and Ling beside him.
"That's—Sphia!"
"Yes, it seems we've all been fooled. Sphia's goal is to steal Nighogd's power. It sent monsters to attack the city to distract them, so it could infiltrate and steal Nighogd's power."
Angers gripped the carving knife tightly in his hand with tension.
"Ultraman, if Nighogd were to be born, this world would be destroyed. That's why we dragon slayers exist, because we were born to fight against dragons and protect humanity."
“I understand, so what is that child… Lu Mingfei doing?”
"I speculate that he is most likely a vessel for the Black King Nighold, or even an incarnation of Nighold's consciousness."
Angers prepared to begin casting his spell.
“Sphia is plundering the Black King’s power. Lu Mingfei may have been controlled and is preparing to reclaim his power. After all, as the Black King, how could he be willing to become Sphia’s puppet? These dragon beasts are born arrogant.”
"Is that right?"
But Li Xiang raised his hand and stopped Angers, who was about to step forward to attack Lu Mingfei.
"Please wait a moment, there might be a misunderstanding!"
Li Xiang stopped Angers, who frowned in anger: "Ultraman, what are you doing? I told you, that so-called Lu Mingfei might be the consciousness of the Black King. He's here to reclaim his power. Whether Sphia gets the Black King's power or Nighogd reclaims his own power, it will be a catastrophe for humanity. I'm going to kill Lu Mingfei now to stop him from becoming the Black King, and then I'll kill Sphia."
But Li Xiang still blocked Angers' path, then looked at Lu Mingfei under the giant white tree in the distance.
Li Xiang's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"No, that child will never become the Black King and will never destroy the world."
Then Li Xiang smiled, turned his head, and said to Angers in front of him.
“I’ve seen that child. He bravely fought against Sphia to protect others.”
"So I believe him. He is a kind and brave child. He must have his reasons for doing this, so I choose to believe him."
"Believe him?" Angers was a little annoyed. Were all these Ultramen such brainless saints?
If the Black King is resurrected immediately, or if Sphia seizes the Black King's power, the world will be destroyed. What are you saying here now that you believe in him?
"What makes you believe him, and what gives you the right to believe him?"
"Because he possesses a power that I can believe in."
Li Xiang said firmly, then turned to look at Lu Mingfei, who was holding the hand of the blonde girl beside him as they walked into the giant white tree and were assimilated by Sphia.
"Because he also possesses things that everyone has, such as courage and the power of love, that's why I believe in him."
"Lu Mingfei will definitely make the right choice, and humanity will find its own future. I firmly trust humanity and trust the human heart."
As Li Xiang spoke, he took out the spark prism.
And the Spark Prism, responding to Li Xiang's inner thoughts, is also flashing with light.
"So before that, before that child, and all of humanity, makes the right choice!"
"Ultraman will be the pillar of this world!"
The white giant tree of Sphia devoured Lu Mingfei and Zero, and its trunk swallowed Nighold's body from underground. Then the white giant tree began to expand, becoming even larger.
It turned into a white cocoon.
The cocoon gradually rose into the air and began to surge.
An aura of darkness and destruction appeared in the sky, obscuring the sun's brilliance and plunging the earth into night.
There was also fire; a torrential rain of flames appeared out of nowhere in the sky and began to fall to the ground, burning everything.
The white cocoons were also stained with a lot of black patterns.
Then...then the cocoon split open from the middle.
A giant black and white monster was born from a cocoon.
