Chapter 59: Melee

A massive black hole ripped open in the sky.

The seventy-meter Eleking and the seventy-five-meter Zetton descended, crashing heavily onto the earth!

Lin Mu was pushed aside, standing tall upon the mountain peaks!

"Screech!"

Birdon let out a shrill cry, seemingly sending a signal.

Eleking gathered a crescent-shaped light blade in its mouth, slashing toward Birdon, who was flapping its wings in the sky.

Fly, fly, my foot!

You think just because Lord Eleking can't fly, you can bully me?

The moment you fall into the water, Lord Eleking is going to pluck every single one of your feathers clean!

Facing Eleking's crescent light blade, Birdon flapped its wings, its obese body surprisingly nimble in the sky.

It dodged every single attack.

Zetton did not attack immediately; instead, the glowing yellow organs on its face flickered slightly.

The next second.

It vanished instantly!

It reappeared not far away, raised its foot, and brought it down!

Right in the shadow of its giant foot was an alien holding a transparent Dark Spark and a robot monster doll—Camealot!

This was the mechanical monster from *Ultraman Leo*, whose strength completely overwhelmed Leo and was little different from King Joe.

There's no need to drag out the introduction; in short, it was no ordinary character.

It looked like this alien was right in the middle of dark-livingizing Camealot!

However, as Zetton's massive foot came down, he could only stare in terror and frantically jab at the bottom of the doll's feet.

There was no time left.

"Thump!"

The alien was flattened into a pancake, but it did not transform into a spark doll.

In other words, this wasn't some spark doll being revived, but rather an alien that had sneaked in.

Most likely... it had already been bewitched by Lugiel!

Zetton casually kicked Camealot away, sending it flying straight into Lin Yu's hands.

Yet, stepping on just one of them was nowhere near enough.

"Dark Live, Nova!"

"Dark Live, Galberos!"

"Dark Live, Jumbo King!"

Three pillars of black light soared into the sky, terrifying dark energy reverberated, and the entire Hoshizora Mountain began to quake.

That kind of power caused the U.D.T. members, the GUTS members, and the indigenous residents of Hoshizora Town stationed outside the blockade to wear expressions of utter horror.

"What is happening?"

"Is this a natural disaster?"

"It's monsters! Look over there, so many monsters have appeared on the mountain!"

Someone pointed toward Hoshizora Mountain.

Everyone quickly looked over. Although they were separated by several thousand miles, colossal figures could still be faintly seen moving about on the high mountain.

From time to time, sparks from explosions and various colored attack skills flashed.

Without a doubt, high-level beings were fighting up there!

The only ones capable of triggering such a battle were those aliens and monsters!

"Eleking and Zetton have both appeared!"

"And there are so many new monsters. They all look like enemies, and they're fighting each other!"

Daigo said with an ugly expression as he held his binoculars.

"Let me see."

Shinjo took the binoculars.

"Damn, you're right. There sure are a lot of these guys."

Shinjo was dumbfounded after taking a look.

"Monsters have also appeared near Kobe Harbor. The defense team responsible for Kobe suffered heavy losses not long ago and couldn't handle it, so the GUTS-SELECT team went to provide backup."

"The U.D.T. doesn't have any fighter jets left; right now, only we in GUTS are left here."

Rena brought back some bad news.

The GUTS-SELECT team leaving meant their currently strongest weapon, the Spacium Ballistic Missile, was gone.

"If you ask me, we should just let Eleking and Zetton leave. Since there are so many monsters on that mountain, we might as well just hurl the Hyper Weapon R2 or even R1 right at them," Shinjo complained, scratching his head.

"There's no time, they're already fighting."

Daigo shook his head.

"What a pain. Whatever, Rena, go evacuate everyone. Daigo, let's move out!"

Shinjo abruptly scratched his head and spoke.

Even when facing so many enemies, he wouldn't take a single step back.

"Understood!"

Daigo felt the exact same way.

"You guys... make sure you come back alive!"

Rena bit her lip, didn't try to dissuade them, and turned around to direct the evacuation.

"Let's go!"

A moment later, Artina Alpha rushed toward Hoshizora Mountain.

——————————

Hoshizora Mountain

"Screech!"

Birdon circled in the sky.

Inside the body of this monstrous bird—which had killed Taro and created the legendary meme of the Flaming Captain—was an ugly alien.

The Three-Faced Alien—Dadap!

Debuting in the original Ultraman series and hailing from Planet Dadap, its purpose on Earth was to collect human specimens, which was why it caused traffic accidents and other incidents to harvest fresh human corpses.

Its strength wasn't overwhelming, but it was utterly repulsive and vile, both in appearance and in heart.

Any Dadap appearing thereafter was equally trash.

At this moment, this Dadap held a disposable transparent Dark Spark, had dark-liveized into Birdon, and was piloting it from within.

"Ohohoho, a few Dark Giants, an unknown human controlling several monsters, and an alien with a pitifully low level of civilization."

"Just based on yourselves, you actually dare to dream of striking against Lord Darkness Ruler? How whimsical and utterly arrogant!"

Dadap sneered, its voice echoing from Birdon's beak, sounding freakishly bizarre.

Below Birdon, the three fierce-looking monsters also roared and stepped forward.

None of them were piloted by aliens; they were purely savage, giant monsters unsealed from their spark doll states!

Calling them monsters might not be entirely accurate.

After all,

Nova was a Disk Alien, Galberos was a Beast The Beast, and Jumbo King was a Super Beast.

Strictly speaking, not a single one of them was a proper monster.

Nova and Galberos were fine; their strength was decent, though not overwhelmingly powerful.

Jumbo King, however, was a real headache!

This guy was the boss of the Ace series, possessing quite formidable strength. Although it was instantly killed by Ace's ultimate move, the Ultra Guillotine, that didn't mean it was weak.

In fact, this guy's combat power was the only one present that made Lin Yu glance over with furrowed brows.

"The Darkness Ruler?"

"Are you talking about Lugiel, or Gatanjeea?"

Carmilla's delicate brows knitted tightly as she demanded coldly.

Gatanjeea was also referred to as the Ruler of Darkness.

Hearing Dadap blurt out such words left her quite surprised.

"Impudent! How dare you utter the true name of Lord Darkness Ruler!"

"What kind of garbage is Gatanjeea to even be compared to Lord Darkness Ruler? Just the name sounds like some small fry. If he dares to show up in front of me, Lord Dadap, I'll beat him to death in three punches and two kicks!"

Dadap bellowed from inside Birdon's body, acting wildly arrogant.

Who knew if it would actually drop to its knees in terror upon truly meeting Gatanjeea.

"Lugiel must be severely injured, right? You need a few small fries like you to buy time."

Lin Yu said casually, his gaze continuously sweeping the surroundings.

Ultra Telepathy was being interfered with far too severely here, making it impossible to locate Lugiel.

Well, that made sense. After all, in the original work, Lugiel spent practically the entire time right beside Ginga and the conscious Taro doll, probably within a hundred meters.

And yet they hadn't been able to find him either.

"You... what are you talking about?"

The Dadap alien's tone choked for a second, but it immediately recovered, pretending not to understand as it retorted.

"Besides, the strongest one here is only Jumbo King. I remember there being quite a few spark dolls much stronger than Jumbo King."

"Let me guess why no stronger monsters have appeared."

"Could it be... you guys only managed to find this many dolls so far?"

Lin Yu's voice was calm, sounding almost as if he were talking to himself.

Yet it instantly provoked a furious roar from the Dadap alien!

"Attack!"

"Screech!"

Birdon spewed high-temperature flames reaching hundreds of thousands of degrees, resembling a long pillar of fire, practically intent on burning Lin Yu to cinders!

"Ze-tton!"

Zetton abruptly materialized, blocking in front of Lin Yu.

The Zetton Barrier raised up, completely intercepting the flames!

"Gegi!"

Eleking swept its tail outward!

Birdon hurriedly took flight, dodging the attack by a hair's breadth.

Behind it, Nova, Galberos, and Jumbo King also roared and charged forward!

"Hudra, Darramb, move!"

Carmilla gave a cold shout, pressing her Carmilla Spark to transform into a pillar of black light.

Her whip as the Love-Hate Warrior lashed out, striking Nova!

"Another blood-pumping battle! Hudra, let's go!"

Darramb grabbed Hudra by the arm.

"Uh, how about we pass?"

Hudra looked at the menacing monsters, every single one of which gave him immense pressure.

He couldn't help but swallow hard.

The injuries on his body had only just begun to show signs of recovery; he really didn't want to be beaten into full-body comminuted fractures again.

"Are you saying you're just going to swallow it after being kicked like a dog by that ugly alien?"

Darramb wore an expression of utter contempt.

"Hudra, I am truly disappointed in you. I never expected you to endure so much. I remember there's a giant turtle monster on Earth named King Tortoise; you two should have a chat. It changes its name to the Agile Monster, and you can change yours to the Turtle Giant, how about that?"

"If that doesn't work, I'll..."

"I'll fight, I'll fight alright? Darramb, would you just shut up!"

Hudra could bear it no longer, throwing away the transparent Giga Spark and Neronga doll in his hand.

He pressed the Hudra Spark and transformed into the Ultra-Ancient Agile Warrior Hudra!

Spreading his arms wide, he flew toward Birdon in the sky.

Did they really think he, Hudra, had no temper?! How dare they ambush him!

"That's the Hudra I know!"

Darramb laughed heartily, transforming as well.

He lunged toward Galberos, the beast resembling a three-headed hellhound.

In an instant, a fierce battle broke out on Hoshizora Mountain.

Meanwhile, the true boss—the Ruler of Darkness—slowly began to move as well...
