Chapter 116: Indelible Passion and Innocence

"To hell with your godhood, go to hell!"

"Whoosh!"

Three blazing right legs cut through the air with a whistling sound, slamming toward the Kyrieloid standing at the center in the blink of an eye!

It happened in an instant. Leo and Astra struck the chest and back of the Kyrieloid God simultaneously!

Faced with the flying kicks of the Leo brothers, the Kyrieloid God made no attempt to defend, letting the fierce blows land squarely upon him.

"How is this possible!"

The Leo brothers were deeply shocked. Could this so-called Kyrieloid God possess such terrifying offensive power and yet have such formidable defenses as well?

While the Leo brothers were stunned, Yue Longze's flying kick followed immediately.

Like a launched rocket, Yue Longze lunged with his leg extended, aiming straight for the glowing nexus at the center of the Kyrieloid God's head.

Faced with Yue Longze's strike, the Kyrieloid God merely blocked the sudden attack with his jet-black arms, his expression indifferent. Yet, the Kyrieloid God's action made something clear to Yue Longze.

"Is the weak point that nexus on his head?"

As Yue Longze pondered, he was sent flying by the powerful recoil, spinning several times in the air to dissipate the intense force.

The Kyrieloid God's arms instantly sprouted sharp, chilling barbs, lunging directly at Yue Longze, who was still airborne.

Seeing the barbs on the Kyrieloid God's wrists, Yue Longze's eyes narrowed, and he immediately manifested his light sword. He could not afford to be careless; to be struck by those sharp, cold barbs would be agonizing.

Yue Longze resumed the battle with the Kyrieloid God in mid-air.

Meanwhile, leaving aside the Leo brothers, the four others—Ultraman, Seven, Jack, and Ace—were centered around Taro, focusing all their energy into the crescent-shaped horns atop Taro's head!

Golden energy flowed continuously into Taro's horns, and Taro endured immense pain. However, it was a pain he had experienced once before in his youth! Back then, he had borne the power of all five of his brothers!

Sensing the powerful energy fluctuations nearby, Yue Longze, who was struggling against the Kyrieloid God, cast a quick glance toward Taro and the others.

"Is that... Super Taro?"

Yue Longze's thoughts instantly returned to the plot of "Ultraman Story."

It was an old classic Ultraman film from his youth, detailing Taro's growth and his battle to defeat Juda. Yue Longze remembered clearly that at the end of the film, faced with the nearly invincible Grand King, the five Ultra Brothers—Taro's five siblings—had bestowed their energy upon him.

Thus, the incredibly powerful Super Taro was born, defeating the Grand King with overwhelming strength and bringing about the destruction of Juda.

But this time, Taro had only received the power of four Ultras; he lacked the energy of his eldest brother, Zoffy. Even so, such a Taro could never be underestimated!

"Urgh—ah!"

Snapping back to reality, Yue Longze heard a roar from nearby—it was a roar from Taro!

A violent surge of energy erupted from Taro, causing even the previously indifferent Kyrieloid God to tremble. The four Ultra Brothers who had granted their power to Taro had vanished; they would only return once Taro dispersed the energy.

"This so-called Land of Light is truly a kingdom where monsters emerge one after another..."

The Kyrieloid God could not help but think this to himself. First, it was Zero in his Shining form, which had brought him great shock and despair. Then, it was this guy currently fighting him—possessing the most pure and untainted darkness. He had already been beaten to the brink of death, yet his combat power had suddenly soared! Finally, there was the energy-radiating Taro, or rather, Super Taro!

Having accepted the power of his four brothers, Taro’s combat strength was now immense, nearly on par with Yue Longze, who had accepted Camilla's power. Taro’s fiery red body radiated invisible energy waves, his powerful horns looking even more imposing.

His right fist glowing with flame, he slammed it toward the Kyrieloid God. Yue Longze also seized every moment to attack the Kyrieloid God; his time was precious. After all, Camilla's power was not infinite!

It was a three-way battle. A high-level struggle.

Below them, Leo and Astra were unable to assist at all. The intense energy fluctuations from the three combatants shattered everything in the vicinity, leaving the ground in ruins. Crystal-clear structures were scorched black, and the debris of shattered crystal buildings fell everywhere. It felt as if the entire Planet Ultra was trembling!

Yue Longze and Super Taro fought in strong tandem, their coordination rising rapidly, allowing them to barely hold their own against the Kyrieloid God.

The Kyrieloid God finally wore a solemn expression. Facing one of them alone was not difficult, but facing both, especially as their coordination improved, began to feel strenuous.

"The great Kyrieloid God is truly enraged now!"

The Kyrieloid God was furious; he was impatient that he had not been able to finish off these two freaks. Energy surged from the glowing center of his chest, gathering into a violent mass. A black energy sphere grew rapidly in front of his chest.

"Accept the wrath of the Kyrieloid God!"

Yue Longze stared blankly at the Kyrieloid God, who was condensing his energy. Could he and Taro withstand such an attack? But they could not lose!

"His weakness must be the nexus on his head!"

Yue Longze gritted his teeth and quickly shared his thought with Super Taro. Taro’s body jolted upon hearing this, his gaze fixed on Yue Longze.

"In any case, I leave it to you! Brother Taro!"

Looking at Yue Longze’s firm and determined eyes, Taro nodded heavily, then glanced quickly at the Kyrieloid God, who was still frantically condensing his violent energy.

"You must come back alive!"

Taro gripped Yue Longze’s shoulders firmly.

"Then, Brother Taro! Please pray for me!"

With that, both turned in silent agreement to face the enraged Kyrieloid God.

Intense energy waves erupted from the three of them again. The Kyrieloid God instantly unleashed the massive black energy orb, which rushed toward Yue Longze and Taro.

Invisible shockwaves rippled, and powerful currents surged. Taro stepped forward and glanced at Yue Longze beside him.

"It's up to you, Longze!"

Taro then fixed his gaze on the black energy orb, which carried such violent power. Swinging his arms back, he unleashed a massive, rainbow-colored Super Ray!

"Cosmo Miracle Ray!"

This was the strongest ray technique of the current Super Taro. In his youth, he had used this very move to shatter the Grand King, who had absorbed all of Juda's power!

"Offending the great Kyrieloid God is an unforgivable sin!"

The Kyrieloid God bellowed. The massive energy orb sealed off all paths of retreat for Yue Longze and Taro. To Yue Longze, the volume of this black orb seemed as vast as a Spirit Bomb from Dragon Ball!

However, Yue Longze had no intention of running.

He manifested his golden light sword and projected all his energy in front of him, forming a semi-circular energy shield! This shield protected his front perfectly, without a single gap. Behind him, there was no protection at all. But behind him—protection was no longer needed! Because the Kyrieloid God's attack was coming head-on.

"Urgh—ah!"

Yue Longze leaped, charging directly into the black energy orb that carried the scent of destruction!

As he drew closer to the massive black orb, Yue Longze felt his own insignificance. The scale was just too vast; he felt like an inconspicuous grain of sand, while the black destruction orb emitted by the Kyrieloid God was like a giant star, constantly crushing toward him!

"But that won't stop me!"

Yue Longze gritted his teeth and continued to charge forward. Ahead might be hell, or perhaps heaven.

Taro put every ounce of effort into his stance, squeezing every last bit of power from his body to enhance the intensity of the Cosmo Miracle Ray.

—But it still wasn't enough.

As the supreme god in the hearts of the Kyrieloid race, the Kyrieloid God's strength was truly formidable. The black energy orb was relentlessly crushing back Super Taro's Cosmo Miracle Ray. Meanwhile, Yue Longze moved through the narrow gap between the two distinct rays, like a stormy petrel beneath lightning, like a tiny sailboat on a raging sea—advancing through the difficulty!

Yue Longze's goal was simple.

To deliver a fatal blow to the Kyrieloid God from within the darkness. He would break through this black energy orb capable of destroying half the Land of Light, and then strike out suddenly from within it.

Using the sharp energy sword in his right hand, he would pierce the glowing nexus on the Kyrieloid God's head.

It was dangerous, and the chance of success was slim. He was wagering his own life.

But sometimes, to protect that faint spark within his heart—the things he felt were worth defending—Yue Longze felt that at this moment, even death no longer seemed so frightening.

To be honest, what did the fate of the Land of Light, or even the fate of this universe, have to do with him? He did not belong to this universe. If he wanted to leave, he believed that the high-principled warriors of the Land of Light would certainly try their best to send him back to his own universe.

But! For the sake of the passion in his heart, Yue Longze had to fight.

Was it for the so-called justice? Yue Longze was not yet that selfless.

It was his childhood dream of Ultraman! The hot-blooded romance and innocence of his childhood could never be extinguished!
