Volume 1, Chapter 164: I Want to Be Ultraman Again

Two lines of clear tears rolled down Regulos's eyes. He lay prone on the ground, his ten fingers tightening continuously, leaving ten distinct claw marks on the flat pavement.

"I will definitely become the strongest master of the Space Phantom Beast Fist, and then use this martial art to protect peace, so that the tragedy of D60 will never happen to anyone again!"

Regulos swore with the most resolute words, his state of mind changing at that very moment.

Toregia, standing beside him, glanced at him, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly, and muttered silently, "Could this guy also be an Ultra warrior from the Land of Light?"

In his impression, only brainwashed Ultra warriors would utter such brainless words.

Besides protecting peace, can't you go do something else with your life?

While feeling speechless, Toregia suddenly spoke up, "Diabolo is actually not dead."

Upon hearing this, Regulos froze abruptly, and even Chenfen, who was meditating nearby, opened his eyes.

Just now, they had both witnessed with their own eyes as Diabolo was stomped to pieces, with even his energy completely dissipating. How could he possibly still be alive?

Meeting their astonished and suspicious gazes, Toregia explained calmly, "Diabolo is an Absoluteian. Everyone of his race possesses a special core known as the Absolute Heart."

"As long as that heart remains undestroyed, they can be reborn infinitely."

"What!" Regulos could no longer keep his composure. He abruptly stood up, grabbed Toregia tightly by the shoulders, and asked in disbelief, "That bastard is actually still alive!?"

"Indeed so." Toregia raised his hand, brushed Regulos's arms away, and then turned around, walking as he spoke, "Work hard then. I hope you can avenge Master Rayting with your own hands."

Regulos stood frozen in place for a long time before he finally accepted the fact that Diabolo was still alive.

Recovering from his trance, and seeing that Toregia seemed about to leave, he anxiously shouted out, "Junior brother, where are you going!"

"Returning to my own spacetime," Toregia answered without looking back.

"Returning to your own spacetime?" This remark left Regulos somewhat baffled.

However, a sharp flash of insight burst within the eyes of Chenfen standing nearby.

A few days later, a figure slowly materialized in a secluded corner of the Land of Light.

His skin was blue, and his build was rather slender, giving off a frail impression at first glance—clearly a warrior of the Blue Tribe.

Yet, the moment this warrior appeared, the skies of the Land of Light wailed with an intensely shrill alarm.

Within seconds, a squad of patrolling Ultra warriors descended from the sky, surrounding the warrior in the center. Every single one of them wore a grave expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Report, we have discovered Toregia in Sector A!"

Inside the Space Garrison, Father of Ultra and the others were holding a routine meeting when an Ultra warrior suddenly rushed in with a panicked expression, dropping a bombshell.

"What!" Taro stood up abruptly, his face etched with shock.

After all, only recently had Toregia paid a visit. Although he hadn't caused any major destruction, he had kept the entire Land of Light on tenterhooks for days.

And now, he was back again today?

"Let's go take a look," Father of Ultra said with a solemn expression. "Whatever his purpose may be, we must protect the Land of Light."

The other Ultras nodded in agreement, rising to their feet and walking out of the garrison.

Arriving at the scene, Father of Ultra and the others immediately spotted Toregia surrounded in the middle.

Yet the moment they laid eyes on him, a flash of surprise and confusion crossed all of their faces simultaneously.

It was common knowledge that after obtaining the power of Grimdo, Toregia had completely fallen into darkness, transforming into a Dark Ultra warrior.

Yet the Toregia before their eyes not only lacked the slightest trace of dark aura, but his appearance had even reverted to the way he looked back when he resided in the Land of Light.

"To... Toregia?" Gazing at that familiar figure, Taro's vision blurred, his memories seeming to drift back to the past.

However, he was no longer the impetuous Taro of yesteryear. He immediately demanded, "Toregia, what on earth are you trying to do!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, a relatively gentle smile surfaced on Toregia's face. "Taro, I have turned over a new leaf and decided to reform. Coming back this time, I hope you can give me a chance to return to the Land of Light."

"After all, this is my home."

As these words fell, not a single Ultra warrior present remained calm.

Taro, in particular, experienced a violent tremor in his pupils, almost believing he was dreaming.

The reactions of Father of Ultra and the others were no less intense; all of them instinctively scratched their ears, thinking they had misheard.

Yet the smile on Toregia's face and the tone of his voice were exceedingly sincere, as if he genuinely wished to repent and start anew.

Among everyone present, only Zoffy... wait, Seven appeared the calmest.

Because he didn't believe Toregia's deceitful words for a second, he immediately rebuked, "Toregia, cut the act! Those who have plunged into darkness shall never be allowed near the Land of Light!"

The moment his words finished, Seven tore off his cape, lunged forward directly, and threw a punch straight at Toregia.

The other Ultra warriors also tightened their expressions, already prepared for battle at any moment.

Yet to everyone's astonishment, faced with Seven's assault, Toregia neither dodged nor parried. He just stood there foolishly, letting Seven's fist land squarely on his body.

Thud—

With a muffled sound, Toregia was instantly driven back several steps, clutching his chest as he dropped to his knees.

Yet the next second, as if nothing had happened, he stood back up, fixing a resolute gaze upon Father of Ultra.

"Ah... This..." Taro was utterly dumbfounded, his long-sealed heart experiencing the tiniest trace of wavering.

Could Toregia actually be serious?

Moments later, Seven struck again. Leaping directly into the air, he unleashed his signature technique: the Seven Kick.

Boom, boom, boom!

A cluster of flames instantly ignited on Seven's leg, carrying an unstoppable momentum as he kicked toward Toregia.

Toregia remained standing in place, showing no intention of evading.

Seeing this, Father of Ultra deep-furrowed his brows.

In truth, he did not believe that Toregia had genuinely reformed.

After all, the deeds Toregia had committed throughout the universe over the years were far too deeply sinful.

Especially last time, when he had nearly destroyed the Land of Light.

Had it not been for the interventions of King of Ultra and Legend, the Ultra race would likely have been erased from the universe entirely.

At this thought, Father of Ultra's expression turned cold. He covertly gathered his energy, preparing to seize an opportunity to strike and eliminate this menace once and for all.
