Volume One, Chapter 100: Descent into the Kingdom of Light

The commotion also caught the attention of Flame Warrior and others. Just as they turned their heads, Taiga's figure had already rushed in before them, extending his hands to seize the necks of Flame Warrior and Mirror Knight. "Release them!" Steel Warrior's reaction was quite swift, but he had only taken one step forward when Taiga kicked him flying with a foot. "You little brat, what are you doing? Attacking your own people too!" Flame Warrior's face showed pain, and he cursed furiously in anger. They all knew Taiga, so they were completely puzzled by his actions at this moment. Although Mirror Knight was also being choked by the neck, he immediately saw something was off with Taiga: "He seems to be controlled." "Wrong!" Torakiya's voice suddenly came from above: "I didn't control him at all. He has truly fallen into darkness, hehehe..." "What, you damned guy!" Zero cursed angrily and slashed upwards with an Elemium Slash. Torakiya's body shifted slightly, easily dodging it, then fired another beam of light, pinning Zero to the ground and sending him flying hundreds of meters away. "Alright, you all play here as much as you want." Torakiya stretched out, hooking his finger towards Taiga's direction: "The son of Zero, come with us to the Kingdom of Light." A dimensional teleportation portal appeared above Taiga's head. He grabbed Flame Warrior and Mirror Knight and hurled them away, then slowly disappeared from everyone's sight. Also vanishing with him was Torakiya. "It's over, something big is going to happen!" Windama, who was watching, was almost driven crazy. He had just reunited with his friends, and they hadn't even exchanged two sentences when this happened. "What should we do now?" Yuxing was also a bit flustered: "Taiga has been taken away by Torakiya." "In that case, let's go to the Kingdom of Light too." Titas lifted his head, his gaze firm: "Taiga is an important partner to us, we can't just stand by." Windama naturally had no objections. Yuxing hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Alright, I'll accompany you." "No." Titas shook his head: "Yuxing, although I really want to fight alongside you, given the current situation, you should stay on Earth." No matter what, Yuxing was an Earthling. If he went to another universe, any accident would be a fatal blow. He said this also to consider Yuxing's safety. "But Taiga..." Yuxing was still saying something, but was interrupted by Titas: "Alright, this matter is settled. Yuxing, we will definitely bring Taiga back." Without giving Yuxing any more chance to speak, Windama and Titas transformed into light and flew into the sky, returning to their materialized state. Both looked deeply at Yuxing, then left. ... The Kingdom of Light. The Father of Ultraman had just discussed Zero's matter with his wife when he heard a loud bang outside. Upon running out to take a look, it turned out to be an Ultraman warrior radiating with dark aura. Zoffi and others had rushed over at the first moment they heard the commotion, gathering all their energy to prepare to finish off the troublemaker in one strike. Zero also walked out from the door, staring blankly at the sky. Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and he rushed forward as if mad. Along the way, Zero didn't forget to shout: "Wait, that's Taiga!" Although the figure in his sight was filled with evil aura and radiated dark energy, as a father, he recognized him instantly. That person was his son, Taiga Ultraman! "What!" The instant Zero's shout rang out, Zoffi and others also fired their respective ultimate light rays. The beams twisted together, forming a more powerful rotary combined beam, shooting straight at Taiga. This was the signature ultimate move of the Ultraman brothers, and no one would doubt its immense power, including Zero. But the problem was, the target was his son! Zoffi and others had looks of shock on their faces, wanting to pull back, but it was already too late. They all widened their eyes, staring in horror at the distant figure. And at this moment, Taiga moved as well. He raised his hand, his head tilting slightly, revealing a bizarrely sinister smile, then pushed forward with his palm. A pitch-black energy sphere shot out from his palm. Facing the surging combined beam, this energy sphere seemed rather insignificant. Because it was really too small, small enough that only Taiga could see it. But this unassuming black ball actually tore apart the terrifying combined beam directly, then froze in mid-air, with energy instantly expanding. Boom— The energy exploded, and the storm rolled up like a balloon, expanding continuously, then bursting. Rumble— This explosion could be said to have destroyed heaven and earth. Almost instantly, the ground of the Kingdom of Light was lifted layer by layer, carrying terrifying wind and waves sweeping towards all the Ultraman warriors present. Zoffi and others hadn't even had time to be shocked before subconsciously making defensive postures. But the incoming storm was too fierce. They seemed like ships in heavy rain, not holding on for even a second before being blown away harshly and crashing into the buildings behind them. Zero was also blown far away, and before him were two long ravines. At the end of the ravines was Taiga radiating dark aura. "You've gone mad, Taiga!" Zero shouted loudly, legs planted firmly, leaping forward to land in front of Taiga. Only then did he realize that Taiga's state seemed somewhat off. "Hehehe... Zero, long time no see!" Torakiya's voice came from the air. Zero instinctively looked up and quickly retreated. Rumble— An energy bomb exploded where he had been standing, splashing up layers of smoke. And the next second, these smokes were dissipated by a cold aura, revealing Torakiya's emaciated figure. "It's really you!" Zero's eyes widened instantly, his gaze locked tightly on Torakiya. If he hadn't guessed wrong, Taiga turning out like this must have been done by Torakiya. "What did you do to Taiga!" The Father of Ultraman descended from the sky, landing beside Zero. "Hehehe." Torakiya laughed sinisterly: "So it's the captain, huh. Nothing much, I just gave him the power he most desires deep in his heart." Taiga had grown up under various privileges since childhood, lacking the confidence and self-respect that a warrior should have. Even though he was very strong, after using the Light Ring prepared by Torakiya in advance, his mind was still led into darkness. This method was something Torakiya came up with after witnessing the failure of the Dark Warriors. Since using power to create a dark side didn't work, then let the light turn into darkness! "Torakiya!" Zero stared fixedly at Torakiya, his fists clenched tightly, emitting a series of bone-cracking sounds.
