Chapter 64: Defeating Lugiel, Claiming the Dark Spark, and a Special Item

"EX Zetton, attack his chest!"

"Eleking, don't let the Dark Spark be summoned back!"

After Lin Yu undid his materialization, the transparent Ginga Spark dissipated.

The limitations of a one-time-use item were simply too great.

Unable to transform into EX Red King anymore, he could only shout words of encouragement.

Ultra Telekinesis was still far too feeble in the face of such a situation.

Eleking hurriedly stepped forward, using its tail to bind the Dark Spark.

"Zet—ton!"

At this moment, the glowing yellow organs on EX Zetton's face flickered with a faint reddish hue.

With fists carrying the terrifying force of over a million horsepower, it hammered away at Lugiel's face, blow after blow!

"Thud! Thud!"

The earth was trembling, and Lugiel's physical body was taking a severe beating!

He struggled to fight back, but his punches and kicks had very little effect on EX Zetton.

The dark energy on Lugiel's body was dissipating rapidly. Having already suffered heavy injuries, he could no longer hold on.

If not for Lin Yu, he probably wouldn't have grown to giant size for quite a long time.

Instead, he would have relied on dark agents like Dada to walk the world, bringing fear and despair to restore his strength, ultimately returning at full health to become that terrifying, thousand-meter-tall Demon God Ultraman Lugiel once again.

The AOE fluctuations of the Dark Spark would cover everything within sight, reachable by thought, and touched by power.

Turning all things into Spark Dolls of eternal life.

Yet, all of this would never have a chance to happen.

"Zet—ton!"

EX Zetton seemed to grow increasingly frantic.

Its fists generated a terrifying force, enough to beat the current Eleking to death with a single strike, as it continuously pounded on Lugiel's body!

"Boom!"

While pounding away, it kept unleashing One Hundred Trillion Degree Meteors!

One punch.

Lugiel's chest caved in slightly.

One blast.

Lugiel's pitch-black body was scorched.

Punch, blast, punch, blast—on and on it went in a repeated cycle.

The extremely close range not only inflicted massive injuries on Lugiel but also left EX Zetton bleeding profusely from its own attacks!

Its sturdy body armor cracked in a gruesome manner!

Nearby, Eleking, whose tail was wrapped around the Dark Spark, was shivering all over.

Here it comes again!

Here it comes again!

That bastard Zetton has gone into its frenzy mode again!

How ruthless, it's almost blowing itself to pieces, yet it won't even let out a single cry of pain?

Once it beats this whatever-Elugiel to a pulp, is it going to come after handsome and dashing Lord Eleking?

There's no way it can block that!

"Gegi!"

Eleking looked anxiously toward Lin Yu.

Hey, servant, say something.

Either you call Zetton back, or you recall this handsome lord!

If all else fails, transform already! Aren't you good at turning into that roasted corn thing?

Don't leave Lord Eleking here alone to face berserk Zetton!

"Zetton is starting to lose control. The amplification from the Eternity Core fragment is frighteningly powerful, and its side effects are equally terrifying."

Lin Yu stared fixedly at the rampaging EX Zetton.

Even his command for EX Zetton to attack Lugiel's chest had failed to take effect.

The Eternity Core fragment—it really should be used sparingly.

Sorry, Zetton, I'll definitely let you have a good rest after this battle is over.

"Zet—ton!!"

EX Zetton's roar was filled with fury, completely devoid of its usual cold, weapon-of-war demeanor.

A massive One Hundred Trillion Degree Meteor condensed on its face, nearly half the size of its own body!

Orange-red tinged with gold, it seemed to pulse with the power of the Eternity Core!

Resembling a dazzling little sun, it was brilliantly striking, radiating temperatures well over a million degrees.

Merely from the residual heat.

The surrounding trees were already ignited, clusters of flames leaping onto the branches and swiftly scorching the ancient trees to ashes.

"Gegi!"

As a creature that loved water and loathed fire, Eleking felt thoroughly uncomfortable, feeling as though the slime all over its body was about to be baked dry.

Even Lin Yu's clothes were on the verge of catching fire, forcing him to hurriedly employ Ultra Telekinesis to block it.

"Boom!!"

The One Hundred Trillion Degree Meteor exploded like a detonating mini-sun. That terrifying power—far surpassing the Path of Flame and strong enough to instantly melt Maga-Orochi—burst directly upon Lugiel!

Lugiel's already meager energy was burned away completely. Without the support of dark energy, the universe's strongest physical body became an empty title.

Under such overwhelming might, he shattered and dissipated!

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

"I... shall ultimately bring eternal life!"

Lugiel let out a painful cry, and then—

Explosion!

"Boom!"

A gigantic mushroom cloud rose into the air, and the entire Mount Hoshikuzu began to collapse!

A streak of pitch-black radiance shot out from the mushroom cloud of Lugiel's explosion, pulsing as it poured directly into the Dark Spark held by Eleking's tail.

It transformed into a Spark Doll.

And sank into the Dark Spark.

It seemed... to be Lugiel!

He was just like the Ginga Doll hidden inside the Ginga Spark, turning into a Lugiel doll hidden inside the Dark Spark!

Lin Yu witnessed it with his own eyes.

"Lugiel can turn into a doll too?"

Shock washed over Lin Yu's heart.

However, a bout of earth-shaking tremors made it difficult for even him to stand steadily.

"This isn't the time to think about that. We need to get out of Mount Hoshikuzu as fast as possible!"

A wave of astonishment rippled through Lin Yu.

"Gegi!"

Eleking's terrified voice rang out.

It saw that right at the center of the explosion, amidst the shattered and even more ruined earth, EX Zetton was struggling to its feet.

Like a god of death, all of its glowing yellow organs were shattered.

Yet that terrifying oppressive aura—a sense of crushing suppression from countless higher life dimensions—showed no signs of breaking down, striking sheer terror into Eleking's heart!

Especially when EX Zetton's head tilted to glare right at it.

Eleking's voice distorted in absolute fright.

It was reminded once again of the terrifying experience of being targeted by a runaway EX Zetton, and the prospect of turning into roasted Eleking the very next second.

Please, no! It wasn't EX Red King; it didn't want to be roasted!

Master servant, hurry, hurry, hurry, drag me back to the Monster Planet right now!

"Come back, Zetton! Come back, Eleking!"

Lin Yu tapped his phone.

A black hole materialized, pulling both Eleking and EX Zetton away together.

"Aiao~"

Eleking's tone finally relaxed.

Saved.

Hmph, don't think Lord Eleking was afraid of you, berserk Zetton.

It was only because you were too heavily injured this time, and I didn't want to bully you.

Another day when you're at your peak, Lord Eleking will deign to make a move!

The black hole dissipated.

Both Eleking and EX Zetton were whisked away, returning to the Monster Planet within the Monster Raising Game.

As for that massive Dark Spark, it dropped down from the air, rapidly shrinking in size.

In the end, it became just small enough to fit comfortably in the palm of a hand.

Grabbed by Ultra Telekinesis, it floated right into Lin Yu's hand.

"Is this the Dark Spark? Lugiel is hidden inside?"

Curious, Lin Yu gripped the Dark Spark. It felt heavy, carrying an indescribable sense of eerriness.

The moment he grasped it, undesirable thoughts involuntarily surfaced in Lin Yu's mind.

For instance, Commander Matsunaga.

"Do you harbor resentment? Humans are always like this, unable to recognize their own faults. Becoming this captain—it's simply not worth it."

"You are the strongest. You wield incomparably powerful monsters. Destroy! Annihilate! Rule over this planet, this galaxy, and become the king of this place as you please."

A voice echoed from the depths of Lin Yu's mind, laden with immense temptation.

The several Spark Dolls on his person began to quiver, seemingly inviting Lin Yu to dark-materialize them and go on a wild massacre.

"Is this your trick, Lugiel?"

"My state of mind hasn't fallen so low that I'd be seduced by you!"

Lin Yu's expression turned cold. He tossed the restive Spark Dolls—agitated by the Dark Spark—onto the ground and stomped on them heavily!

They immediately went still.
