Am I the only one in this team who is not Ultraman?

“Yes, remember in the future!” The little girl nodded. Riko Saito took out her phone, smiled, and patted the girl’s head. “Then, say it again, just like when you first introduced yourself to everyone.”

Seeing the determination in Riko's eyes, Anshinin Mirai's emotions calmed down considerably, and she nodded firmly with her little head, "Okay."

[What I know is that, King Joe, there must be darkness in people's hearts, a fear of destruction, but there are things in this world more important than life, which will give people the courage to cross the darkness and overcome fear.]

Watching these sprightly elderly men with white hair board the fighter jets, Armament King Joe clenched his fist. "Leo... I believe what you believe, and I've watched them grow up. You're right."

On the other side, Yoshida Reiko, who had finally recovered from the blow, wiped away her tears and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Dear listeners, fellow human beings, this is Reiko and Maya. We have just received news that TPC is about to launch a rescue operation for Ultraman. Humanity will not perish here!"

Fujimiya, you may not be able to hear our voices, but you are still alive, I believe.

As Lingzi was thinking this, she suddenly saw Mephisto standing at the door of the control room, waving at her.

At the same time, at the TPC base and the underground base in Galatron, all the hangar doors opened.

"All hangars open, repeat, all hangars open. All personnel, prepare for battle. Atlas, prepare for deployment. Asgaron, prepare for deployment. Desfasa formation, prepare for attack..."

"Bishop Groka's squadron, prepare to attack! MK2 squadron, prepare to attack! Galaoguma squadron, prepare to attack!"

"This is the Sky Base. The data has been confirmed. We are now preparing for the jump." Dunzi's eyes never left the screen. They were heading to the Eighth Universe, their targets being Ultraman Gaia and Ultraman Agul.

"This is the Atlas. Data confirmed. Preparing to initiate the jump." Lina finished speaking, taking a deep breath. "Daigo, we've come to pick you up."

The XIG Sky Base and the Atdis, powered by the Max Propulsion System, both have the ability to travel through time and space. For the other defense teams, it's a bit more complicated, as they need to go to a designated location. Leo left them a safe time-space passage.

Now, fighter jets take off, scattering towards their designated destinations, just as they have done in the past, fighting for the future of humanity.

Chapter 645 They've brought out all their assets!

The Dark Shadow Mage's power was indeed much stronger, or rather, more troublesome than Leo had imagined. At first, Leo could hold his own against him, but now he was completely suppressed.

If the remnants of negative energy left by just over ten thousand people can create a monster like Negative Energy Gadi that severely injured Sylvanas, it's hard to imagine how high the negative energy of billions of humans could elevate the Dark Shadow Mage.

In their second exchange, Leo was sent flying backward, barely managing to regain his footing in mid-air. His right hand was shattered by the powerful Bull-Breaking Fist, but the surrounding ultimate darkness quickly surged up and reshaped it back into Leo's right hand.

"As expected of you." The Dark Shadow Mage crossed his arms. "Even though you clearly expressed your refusal, Ultimate Darkness still favors you so much. It's a pity you don't know what's good for you."

"Know your place? And then become one of those inhuman, ghostly things like you, tormented by ultimate darkness every day?" Leo waved his hand, mocking the Dark Shadow Mage without any politeness.

Leo is currently only using the immortality brought by Ultimate Darkness to stall for time, which is based on the premise that the Dark Shadow Mage himself also wants to stall for a while to generate more negative energy from humans.

The two are now fighting to the death, but they maintain a very delicate balance. The Dark Shadow Mage is worried that if he pushes too hard and Leo really goes after all of humanity, Leo will explode against him and seal the darkness again.

Although Leo possessed such abilities, he did not wish to do so if possible, as it would not completely solve the problem and would only leave endless troubles for future generations.

"Oh... so it's started." The Shadow Mage immediately sensed the actions at TPC headquarters, and even knew what the TPC members were planning with just a scan of his senses.

"Trying to revive these statues by using the energy of the Max Dynamics system combined with the photogenetic converter? Hahahaha, how naive!"

The Dark Shadow Mage's sinister laughter echoed in everyone's hearts. He sensed that the negative energy coming from the humans was much weaker than before, simply because the TPC's actions made him feel that things were hopeful again.

However, this is also what the Dark Shadow Mage is happy to see. When people have extreme hope and expect miracles to happen, the despair and negative energy generated when such hope is dashed will be unprecedentedly large.

"This is your backup plan? I really overestimated you, Leo. My clone considers you the greatest enemy, but even in the future he came from, you didn't become a legend."

"Since you know I'll win in the future, why are you still so confident?" Leo confronted the Dark Shadow Mage, sensing the state within his body.

"Heh, the ultimate darkness has distorted the spacetime of these eight universes. Here, any confirmed future is meaningless. Besides, I can easily kill you and take your place."

In this way, the being named Leo can still exist tens of thousands of years into the future, and the future that has already been observed will not change much, but the outcome will be very different.

"But how long can you keep this up?" The Dark Shadow Mage looked down at Leo. "You can certainly keep going with me. Although I don't understand why the Ultimate Darkness favors you so much, you've absorbed quite a bit of negative energy by constantly regenerating from them, haven't you?"

Leo's expression was not very good, because the Dark Shadow Mage was right and professional. The long battle had forced him to use the power of Ultimate Darkness continuously, especially now that Ultimate Darkness had erupted, the negative energy within Ultimate Darkness was also very active.

These negative energies were constantly eroding Leo's will, trying to twist him into an existence like the Dark Shadow Mage.

Leo is still able to hold on only because the Zetton sisters, Empera and Lugiel, are helping to share the burden. Hopefully, this won't cause them any lasting effects.

The situation in Galatrom and Demaga is not optimistic either. Everyone is barely holding on. In fact, in order to better mobilize the emotions of the humans, the Dark Shadow Mage and Gatanothor are planning to put on a good show.

"Anti-gravity system operating normally, Max power system activated, Wildra."

"Received. I have locked the coordinates. We can teleport there now. However, because the Atlas is too large, we may not be able to reach it directly. The error will be within ten kilometers."

"That's enough, let's go!" With a command from Megumi, Lina turned the energy valve, and the two power systems of the Atdis started operating at high speed, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

Meanwhile, at the Sky Base, Dunzi had finished processing all the data. "Commander, we can depart now."

"Let's go." The commander of the stone chamber remained calm, his eyes unwavering, completely ignoring the Dark Shadow Mage's mockery in his mind.

The entire sky base vanished into the distance as a beam of light appeared. At the same time, the various defense teams also sprang into action, transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the darkness, heading towards their respective universes.

The battlefield for the older generation of TPC was the Australian branch. Hayata and the others had just seen the Eastern Front when Staff Officer Fukami's voice came through the channel: "Attention all personnel, Dark Ruganoga, Dark Zog, Million Basaku, and Volugan have appeared on the Eastern Front."

Needless to say, there were all the other monsters, and the number of the Five Emperors was more than there were in a wholesale market. The group couldn't even take it all in at a glance. Fortunately, all the information about the enemies had been uploaded to the database.

Wolgan, having received orders from the Dark Shadow Mage, attacked again. Ako was still searching for Ultraman Max, but unable to find him, she had no choice but to transform back into Chaos Super Taro to fight him.

The Kirieloids were badly beaten last time, but this time they didn't back down at all. Determined to show Volugan how powerful they were, they transformed and charged forward.

The battle between the group broke out in the sky. Hayata immediately led his team to charge towards Dark Ruganoga. The enemy was definitely a greater threat than Volugan. With its strong defense, immortality, and exaggerated firepower, it was the most troublesome enemy in every respect.

Considering the immortality brought by the Ultimate Darkness, the only strategy is to harass the enemy and hold them back from their offensive. The ground battlefield can be left to Leo's mechanical legion.

In the sky, Kishida, piloting the Hyuga 1 Kai, pressed the fire button. A burst of fire swept across the area, destroying several Zoga that were rushing towards Hideki Go. "Go, be careful."

"I know, I'm not that old yet." Hideki Go made a beautiful maneuver and brushed past the Five Emperors chasing behind him, killing it completely with a Max Beam. It wasn't like the ancient Five Emperors who could absorb light directly with their entire bodies, yet it dared to rush up and give itself away.

"Dan, fly with confidence. Leave your back to me." Shigeru Furuhashi's voice was exceptionally firm. Dan Moroboshi didn't even need to turn around. A beam of light appeared from behind him and swept across, eliminating Zoga, who was trying to pursue them.

Meanwhile, Mr. Hayata and his dozen or so men had already engaged Ruganoga in battle. "The beams that this monster spews from its arms and mouth are manageable, but be careful of the lightning it releases from the horns on its shoulders; that's much harder to deal with."

"And its tail, it's incredibly agile." Yi Chu narrowly dodged Ruganoga's sweeping tail. This monster, hundreds of meters long, had a tail that was faster than a missile.

"Damn it, we can't go to provide support like this." Beidou gritted his teeth. Zoga and Melba kept running to interfere from the sky, and he couldn't get close to the Million Basaku.

Meanwhile, just as Volugan blocked the Kirieloid's fist and was about to mock the Kirieloid for overestimating himself, he suddenly caught sight of two hand axes flying towards him.

With a swift movement, Vorugan flung aside the Kirielod and grabbed two hand axes with his bare hands. The next moment, the hand axes suddenly turned red, and a massive explosion enveloped him. By the time he pushed aside the smoke and dust, two melee-focused MK3s were already in his face.

One machine delivered a powerful punch, while the other swept in with a kick. Volugan snorted and raised his hand to block, then looked somewhat surprised. He had thought that these two MK3s were not much different from the ones below, and that their power systems, weakened by the Ultimate Darkness, would make them easy to deal with.

Unexpectedly, these two machines were incredibly powerful. If the forbidden Poison Hand Fist technique hadn't been still in effect, one punch and one kick would have been enough to knock away my former self.

Before Volugan could react, the two MK3s quickly dodged to the sides, narrowly missing the incoming Zelda missile, which was followed closely by a Max cannon beam.

The Zilda missile and the new Max cannon struck Volugan directly in the chest. The first shot cracked the Dark Armor, and the second shot knocked him from the sky to the ground.

"Serves him right." Director Ji Gang, who was in charge of firing, sat in the cockpit. The actual combat of the Desfasa was easier than he had expected. He could operate it as if it were his own arm. Feng Yuan and Ye Hu could also keep up with his combat rhythm.

"Damn it, how dare they treat me like this!" Volugan gritted his teeth and climbed out of the deep pit in the ground. The dark armor on his chest and his body began to regenerate together. He really didn't expect that the dark armor would be broken. Was it because he, the user, was not Empera?

Indeed, while the Dark Armor itself has excellent defensive capabilities, it is only comparable to or even weaker than that of the Grand King. More importantly, it can act as an amplifier to enhance the user's power.

If it were truly indestructible, Emperor wouldn't need to spend time modifying it to absorb dark energy and regenerate; the Zelda missile, combined with the fully charged new Max cannon, would certainly be able to penetrate it.

However, they can only break through; the immortality granted by Ultimate Darkness is still too overpowered. As long as the problem of darkness is not completely resolved, monsters like Volugan and Ruganoga will not die completely.

"Even the specialized versions won't work. These two are only slightly weaker in close combat than the MK4." Mephisto was a little surprised. Normally, the MK3 could already contend with the Dark Armor, and the MK4's regular combat power was already stronger than the Super Undead Grand King.

“After all, the current terrain is advantageous to the enemy. If it weren’t for the use of the Max System and the Plasma Crystal, we probably wouldn’t even be able to fight. Gatanothor’s Dark Delight… that thing is incredibly troublesome.” Helotia couldn’t help but frown, completely losing her former arrogance.

"The key now lies with the others... As expected, they've made their move. Mechanical Ultraman, cover the various defense teams." Although the other universes have been completely shrouded in darkness, which would significantly reduce the mechanical Ultraman's fighting power, there's no time to worry about that now.

A Zildar bomb exploded on the body of a million Basaku, but the effect was negligible. Ueno Takato, who was involved in the research on the mass production of Zildar bombs, almost cursed, "This guy's skin is too thick. What material is it made of?"

"Who knows, watch out behind you!" Ueshima warned. Ueno quickly maneuvered downwards to avoid Zoga's attack. Perhaps due to the outbreak of darkness, Zoga's speed was much faster than anyone expected, but fortunately, it was only in a straight line.

Meanwhile, Higashi Kotaro demonstrated his incredible flying skills, with countless purple light bullets released from the eyes of the million Basaku not even glancing at the wing of his fighter jet.

“No, these Zoga and Melba keep interfering, it’s already difficult to keep them occupied.” Yagi took down another Zoga, and Captain Oyama understood, “There are too many of them.”

"Leave it to us." A clear female voice rang out in the channel, and the next moment, a golden beam of light shot out from the ground and struck Ruganoga's tail.

Ruganoga let out a wail. The beam of light had not broken through his defenses, but he felt his tail rapidly becoming paralyzed—Gorgorgon's petrifying beam was taking effect.

Unlike Nexus and Max, whose beams require breaking through defenses to completely shatter enemies, Gorgorgon's petrification beam can directly ignore the opponent's defenses.

Unless it's made of a special material like the Dark Armor or possesses powerful telekinetic abilities, it's basically a one-hit kill. Although Dark Ruganoga possesses powerful immortality and regeneration, it is helpless against this.

"This thing works really well," Gogolgun said, looking at the circular machine in front of him, which was even bigger than himself. "How many are left?"

"Please call it a plasma beam amplifier. It's too troublesome to mass-produce this thing, so we only made one specifically for you. The materials of a million Basaku can't be petrified, and Zog's psychic power is strong, but Ruganoga should be fine. Also, deal with that guy named Saint Delos."

Gorgorgon nodded to show she understood. During the battle, she completely shed her usual social anxiety and became a full-blown warmonger. Looking at her underlings behind her, a total of dozens of Gakuma, she said, "Come on, face that guy. If you perform well today, I'll give each of you ten tons of gems tomorrow!"

It's hard to imagine that after the war ended 30 million years ago, only a few dozen of Gakumar's tribes would still be left. It wouldn't be difficult to subdue them; Gorgorgon's fighting power is undeniable, so who would dare disobey her?

Moreover, upon hearing that each one contained at least ten tons of gems, the Gakuma's resentment vanished instantly. Why hadn't they told them about such a big thing sooner? Anyway, if darkness took over the entire Earth, they would die anyway, so they decided to go for it!

So, dozens of Gakuma began firing beams frantically. Originally, Ruganoga could hold out for a while thanks to the regenerative ability of Ultimate Darkness, but now it was no longer enough.

Herodia glanced at the battlefield situation. Mephisto had already gone out to help in his MK4, so she still had to stay here to control the battlefield.

On the other side, Hilbargon knocked down one of the Five Emperors, glanced at Ruganoga whose body was half petrified, and said, "Petrifying them all, so they can't die, is a really useful idea."

“But it’s not enough,” Kodara said, pursing his lips. “We should retreat. Can you hold out here?”

"I've brought out all my resources. If I can't hold out, I won't have the face to see Leo. You guys go ahead, but be careful not to get caught." Hilbagun grabbed the Five Emperors' large pincers with one hand and then smashed them with a punch. With the boost provided by Leo, her strength was also much greater than that of the Five Emperors.

“We know that with the Earth completely obscured, it’s normal for our power to weaken. That guy will hardly suspect it.” Kodara glanced at Hilarious, then charged back into the monster horde.

In the sky, Director Sawai piloted the Divine Eagle past the head of the beast-like Zog, dodging the latter's large claws. "As expected, that wide-range psychic barrier can only be used for at least three minutes without being able to use the same move again."

Years of experience allowed Director Sawai to immediately see the weakness of Zog's ability: large-scale psychic power should be unusable, but with such a large pair of wings, if they didn't consider their own allies... everything around them would be blown away.

"The director's driving skills haven't deteriorated over the years." Maki Shunichi flew to the side of Director Sawai, but Director Sawai waved his hand and said, "Of course, don't underestimate me. I thought you came to persuade me to go back."

"I know your temper all too well, and besides, at a time like this, your arrival has certainly boosted our morale a lot."

Shunichi Maki knew his boss's temperament very well. Besides, if Director Sawai were to go back now, it would shake morale.

"But Director, this is really too risky. It's too dangerous here, and the enemy outnumbers us by far."

Staff Officer Gondo sighed, wiping the sweat from his brow. He knew that when the other defense teams were transferred, it was he, the Silver Star Vanguard, and other non-frontline defense teams who held the line.

“What’s there to be afraid of? We have plenty of reinforcements.” Director Sawai pointed behind him, and Gondo subconsciously turned around to look, his eyes suddenly widening.

From the sky behind them, hundreds of golden points of light flickered from the distinctly gray and dark clouds, then rapidly approached, accompanied by a dense chorus of sounds repeating a single word.

"Friends! Friends!"

Hundreds of Gazorts charged toward the eastern front, their bodies ablaze with intense flames, making them appear as dazzling as shooting stars.

Their speed was astonishing; they brushed past the TPC members and crashed into Zog and Million Basaku. A massive explosion then completely engulfed the two enormous monsters, with a unit power exceeding that of the Friendship Project's mass-produced missiles, blasting through Million Basaku's defenses.

"Holy crap... They said they were going to show me a trick Leo taught them, but they didn't say it was this kind of thing." Mephiss drove the MK4 to Director Sawai's side, looking at the beast-like Zog and the badly damaged Million Basaku in shock. "You really learned the essence."

"Even Gazot has taken to the field, which means it's the final battle, right?" Director Sawai knew that Leo still had some tricks up his sleeve. Since it wasn't time for the final battle yet, revealing all their cards would only put them on the defensive and make them easy targets for the enemy.

“Yes, so that’s not all.” Mephiss nodded, and countless points of light appeared behind her, which then all transformed into aerial combat versions of Galaoguma. These Galaoguma flew towards the monster horde, releasing large areas of green light from their hands.

Everything enveloped by the green light, from Golza to Garula, was shrunk to the size of an ordinary human. Even Dr. Eight-Tails was stunned when he saw this. "The shrinking ray of the Levi-Senior?"

Facing the remaining five emperors, a large number of missiles were launched. Before these missiles even hit the monsters on the ground, they exploded above their heads. Countless blue gases turned into clouds and mist, which then pressed down, enveloping at least a thousand monsters.

These blue clouds of gas continued to sink, eventually revealing the monsters within. Golza and Melba aside, even the Five Emperors were transformed into crude bronze statues.

"A super freeze bomb mixed with Hippolit tar, isn't that amazing?" Chariga's voice also came into the channel. "This time I brought up all my stock. Put it on the tab first. Since this business is big enough, I'll waive the interest."

"It's really amazing." Mephisto nodded, but it's a pity that only the Hipporito aliens can produce this stuff. The mass-produced version is really bad. I should have left that girl Xia Wula on Earth and squeezed her tar all day long.

"We don't have much tar on hand, let's see how it goes against a million Basaku!"

Ultimately, no matter how many of the Five Emperors there are, they can't break through the defenses. They only pose a great threat to Gadi's barrier. The real problem lies with the several large monsters led by Worugan.

A Hippolit tar missile landed on the Million Basaku, spreading out a bluish cloud, but it had no effect whatsoever, not even preventing the destroyed parts from regenerating. This made Mephis click his tongue in amazement, "Tsk... no effect at all, who made this thing?"

"Who knows where Modius stole this from? With its outer energy shield and inner armor, this thing is even more sturdy than the MK4. Tsk... it really has been modified by Ultimate Darkness." Armor King Joe had a headache.

But in any case, at least this time they really brought out everything they could use from the house. As for the outcome... for now, we can only trust Leo.

Chapter 646 The Decisive Action

In the sixth universe, a suddenly appearing point of light expanded instantly, then contracted, transforming into the shape of the Atdis. Captain Megumi looked at the world completely shrouded in darkness before her. If it weren't for the protection of the Max propulsion system, the Atdis would probably have been paralyzed.

At this moment, Razor Demagor was desperately holding off Gatanothor. The battle between the two caused the surrounding sea to churn and roar, with darkness constantly erupting from the sea, resembling a scene from the end of the world.

"Ye Rui, where are we now?" Zong Fang immediately looked at Ye Rui, who had already started working. "Ten kilometers from the target location, right in front of us!"
