Chapter 63: So You're the Fucking Overlord, Huh?

"Zetton!"

As the golden light dissipated, a sturdy EX Zetton appeared, featuring a glowing yellow "T"-shaped organ on its face and robust limbs!

Its figure vanished instantly, reappearing beside Lugiel in the blink of an eye, its hand clawing towards the Dark Spark!

Once the Dark Spark was snatched away, a depleted Lugiel was little more than a slightly tankier Maga-Orochi!

"The same mistake shall not be made by me twice!"

Lugiel shifted his hand, dodging EX Zetton's grab.

He struck out with a heavy palm, landing squarely on EX Zetton's chest!

This made Lin Yu's gaze narrow; almost instinctively, he prepared to Super-Spiritualize EX Red King to join the battle.

However...

EX Zetton merely took a single step back.

Then, completely unbothered, it threw a heavy punch that collided with Lugiel's fist.

A scene like this reminded Lin Yu of the finale of the *Ultraman Ginga* TV series, where Lugiel punched Hope Taro's chest for ages without managing to break through his defense.

The most bizarre thing was that as they fought, Lugiel seemed to shrink slightly, dropping from his initial height of one hundred meters down to ninety meters.

"All show and no substance!"

"Lugiel, it turns out you're even more battered than I imagined."

"If that's the case, why are you still putting on airs? Today, I'm definitely going to slap you across the face!"

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The heavy pressure weighing down on him lifted considerably.

Turns out Lugiel was in terrible shape.

Without further hesitation, Lin Yu held up the transparent Ginga Spark and tapped the soles of EX Red King's feet.

"Super-Spiritualize, EX Red King!" (Unable to find the transformation image for EX Red King)

"Yihou!"

A pillar of white light soared upward.

A colossal beast appeared, its body resembling molten lava, equipped with massive arms and an exaggeratedly thick physique.

Its eyes were a blood-red color, looking extraordinarily tyrannical!

EX Red King!

A fierce and formidable giant monster possessing terrifying brute strength!

If it had been raised by Lin Yu personally, its strength would likely be on par with EX Zetton's.

Unfortunately, it wasn't.

But that was still enough!

As the strongest in terms of pure power among the three major EX monsters, if EX Red King had a cultivation degree of one hundred percent, its strength would definitely surpass EX Zetton's.

Even if it wasn't quite there yet, its raw power alone wasn't far behind EX Zetton's—at least when not comparing other attributes.

"Is this what it feels like to be transformed into a giant?"

Inside EX Red King, Lin Yu felt a mild sense of novelty.

This was his first time growing to giant size.

The surrounding trees instantly shrank until they looked as low as bushes, and the houses at the foot of the mountain resembled mere toys, as if everything around him had been miniaturized.

However, this was no time to savor such novelty.

Lin Yu—or rather, EX Red King—began to stride forward, breaking into a heavy run!

A massive amount of molten lava surged over its arms. In that instant, EX Red King seemed completely drained; the magma within the cracks of its hide solidified entirely, losing all temperature and heat.

Only its massive fists burned with an overwhelming, towering momentum!

Its already enormous fists grew roughly thirty percent larger amid a shimmering distortion!

Gathering all the fire and heat of its entire body!

Explosive Heat Hook!

Nicknamed the Martian Power Punch.

EX Red King's ultimate close-combat technique focused all the body's magma into its right arm to enlarge it, multiplying its destructive power exponentially!

Lin Yu had no intention of holding back!

He landed a punch squarely on Lugiel's chest!

"Bang!"

At that moment, even Lugiel lost his footing, a steaming fist print appearing on his abdomen as he staggered back several steps.

"Such a freakish defense. Even if Maga-Orochi took this punch, its belly would be caved right in."

The bizarre phenomenon happened once again: Lugiel's ninety-meter stature shrank further, dropping down to eighty meters.

"Zetton!"

EX Zetton gathered a trillion-degree fireball on its face, seizing the opportunity to blast him with a direct shot!

"Boom!"

Lugiel was forced back a few more steps in a disheveled manner.

His size shrank once more, leaving him at a mere seventy meters.

The dark energy radiating from his body showed faint signs of depletion.

"You have truly angered me!"

"Turn into dolls!"

Consumed by rage, Lugiel did not hesitate to unleash fluctuations from the Dark Spark in his hand!

"Spread out!"

EX Red King leaped to the side, slamming its fist heavily into the ground.

Massive waves of magma erupted from the earth like pillars of fire, surging toward Lugiel!

EX Red King's strongest, and seemingly only, ranged technique: Flame Road!

"Zetton!"

EX Zetton placed both hands in front of the glowing yellow organ on its face, channeling the power within its body along with the Eternal Core fragment to condense a high-concentration trillion-degree fireball!

Release!

"Gegi!"

Not far away, Eleking charged up completely, releasing a crescent-shaped light blade formed in its ultimate posture!

Although inferior to the trillion-degree fireball and the Flame Road, its damage output was not to be underestimated!

The three of them positioned themselves separately, but Lugiel could only target one of them with his attack.

Lugiel hesitated for a moment before ultimately locking his sights onto EX Red King.

"I've been waiting for this exact moment!"

A mischievous smile of a successful scheme crept onto Lin Yu's face.

Without another word, he immediately canceled the Super-Spiritualization.

Lin Yu and the EX Red King doll landed on the ground, performing a roll to effortlessly dissipate the kinetic force.

Since the Dark Spark no longer had a target, its shockwave struck nothing, merely extinguishing the advancing Flame Road.

"Boom!!"

However, both the trillion-degree fireball and the fully charged crescent light blade struck Lugiel dead-on, the intense barrage forcing even him to let out a muffled grunt.

Especially the trillion-degree fireball, which packed the greatest destructive power.

One had to know that while ordinary Zettons might not be all that impressive in front of such levels of power, a one-hundred-percent cultivated EX Zetton was a completely different story.

That was a beast capable of slaughtering Maga-Orochi, placing it in the same league as Reymon's EX Gomora and Grand Isle's EX Red King.

Even the Ultimate Lifeform Rayblood had set his sights on it with covetous desire, wishing for Reymon to inherit his will and become the new Ultimate Lifeform.

Well, in reality, it was possession.

All in all.

EX Zetton's combat capability was undeniably that of a Monster King, with only a handful of Heisei-era bosses, New Generation bosses, and extremely rare bug-like anomalies capable of overpowering it!

A depleted Lugiel without the Dark Spark was nothing more than a slightly meatier Maga-Orochi!

Lugiel's body shrank once again, seemingly reaching its absolute limit; once it hit fifty meters in size, it refused to shrink any further.

Yet, his heavy, ragged breathing signaled that Lugiel was nearing his absolute limit.

His injuries required lingering resentment and terror for recovery.

Now, thanks to Lin Yu's maneuvering, he was practically finished.

Before he could even catch his breath,

EX Zetton seized the opening, suddenly materializing right beside Lugiel.

Without a shred of politeness, it delivered a heavy, merciless punch straight to Lugiel's forehead!

Sending a jolt right through Lugiel's frame.

The physical damage itself wasn't catastrophic, but... the fatal part was that the Dark Spark had been knocked out of his grasp.

"Finally knocked your Spark away."

A smile bloomed on Lin Yu's face.

He had planned this from the very beginning.

Three individuals—ah, no, three monsters—would attack Lugiel simultaneously.

If Lugiel targeted him, he would dematerialize while EX Zetton teleported to snatch the Spark.

If Lugiel targeted Eleking, he would recall Eleking into the game while EX Zetton teleported to snatch the Spark.

If Lugiel targeted EX Zetton, EX Zetton would teleport away to dodge while he and Eleking continued the assault.

Rinse and repeat.

They were simply bullying Lugiel for lacking allies and lacking sufficient energy to unleash an area-of-effect Dark Spark shockwave.

Seeing the Dark Spark drop to the ground, Lugiel attempted to pick it up, but EX Zetton sent it flying with a swift kick.

The next second.

EX Zetton's fist slammed heavily and mercilessly down onto Lugiel's skull!

So *you're* the one they call the Dark Lord, huh?!
