With Leo as her support, Ereshkigal's power and duration after transforming into Hyper are much stronger than before. However, even so, she dares not be careless. Her strength is at most comparable to Dark Saigoku, and the gap between her and Grimd is still unknown.
The torn mountain range revealed the shape of the seal, and it was not hard to see that it was set up by more than one Ultraman. However, too much time had passed and darkness had eroded it, leaving only a thin layer of seal, which had been torn apart by Eleking.
Darkness spread from the seal, instantly engulfing the nearby plasma crystal pillars and turning them into dust. However, the light in the atmosphere continued to neutralize the power of the darkness, preventing Max and the others from suffering too much.
Even so, the powerful aura still exerted considerable pressure on people. After many battles, Future couldn't help but swallow hard, "Is this... the power of the Chaos God?"
As soon as the words fell, a huge eye suddenly opened in the darkness, staring directly at everyone. A powerful and invisible, eerie mental attack instantly arrived, but was blocked by another equally powerful mental attack in the next moment.
"Heh, trying to pull this on me?" Renina slowly landed on Hyperion's shoulder. "The half-body of the Chaos God, even after obtaining the power of ultimate darkness, is nothing special."
“Reiblood’s half… Ha, I really underestimated Leo.” Grimd’s laughter was tinged with anger.
"If it were in its prime, that would be one thing, but a spirit that's only half its original form residing in this body dares to attack me?!"
A beam of light shot out from the enormous eye. Eleking, holding a lightning pillar, met the attack head-on. In just a few seconds, the lightning pillar was visibly pushed back. Eleking gritted her teeth, and at the same time, the others joined in. It was only through their combined efforts that they barely managed to neutralize the attack.
"Not bad. In that case, I'll play with you guys for a bit."
As Grimd's words fell, darkness spiraled out and condensed in the air into the colossal body of the Chaos God, which was over seven hundred meters tall. She only needed to stand there to be the best embodiment of the disaster itself.
"The darkness feels quite nice, doesn't it?" Grimd's voice made the surrounding air tremble; even just speaking like that shook people's spirits.
“Come on, if I capture you all as hostages, Leo will definitely be willing to marry me.”
Hearing Grimd say that, Renina frowned in displeasure, but she had to admit that this was a rather troublesome enemy. Relying on herself alone... wouldn't work. She could only wait and see what Leo planned.
Chapter 622 Gatanothor's Frustration
Over the Pacific Ocean, the fighter jets of the ESCG team flew past quickly, with Ultimate Grand King leading the charge, flanked by a formation of MK2s and Gala Ogma.
A large number of Zoga surged out of the sea and attacked the group. King Grand didn't even bother to pay attention to them. With a swing of his longsword, the dark golden sword light instantly cleaved the Zoga into pieces, which turned into countless points of light that fell into the sea.
"They can't wait any longer?" Hong Kai frowned. There was still a long way to go before Gatanothor's seal was sealed, and it seemed that Gatanothor was already prepared to wait for them to arrive.
“It’s not that she can’t wait; if she could, she would definitely want to slow us down. If the vice-captain is right, then Gatanothor and Grimd both still have some flaws.” Stringman saw things more clearly.
These flaws stemmed from the great war of that year. Although they absorbed the ultimate darkness, they had not been able to recover due to the long-term existence of the seal. They originally planned to take advantage of the recent period to make up for these flaws, but Kirino Makio and Masaki Keigo interrupted their plans.
"They must understand that these Zoga alone are not enough to hold us back; they must have a backup plan."
Dimaga knew very well how cunning these guys, like Gatanothor, were. Just to plot against Leo, they could start planning as early as 30 million years ago. How could they possibly sit idly by and wait to die, resorting to such tricks to fool people?
"Whatever this guy's plans, our objective remains unchanged. Anyway... focus on dealing with Gatanothor." Plasma Gomora's speech was still a bit hesitant; his social anxiety was hard to overcome anytime soon.
But this doesn't affect the fact that this girl's strength is still top-notch. In the more than 10,000 years of the Plasma Universe, she has continuously defeated various monsters and absorbed their Plasma Souls, just like Hyper Zetton back then.
"Watch out, it's coming!" As the seal approached, King Grand's voice reached everyone's ears, and a sense of crisis arose. Daigo, Komon, and the others all chose to transform without hesitation.
Fujimiya, now transformed into Agul, was most sensitive to the sea and immediately sensed the approaching danger, shouting, "Scatter and get out of the way!"
No one dared to be careless. Although the power of light had been suppressed by the shroud of ultimate darkness before, the current situation was different. However, Gento's experience was still fresh in their minds, so Ultimate Grand King and Plasma Gomora decisively erected a barrier.
Dozens of tentacles burst forth from the sea, attacking with lightning speed. They shattered the barrier created by Plasma Gomora and Ultimate Grand King the moment they made contact, but much of their power was also neutralized. When they landed on the two women, they only forced them to retreat slightly.
“This force is wrong.” King Grand remembered that Leo had said before that Gatanothor’s tentacles were troublesome things that only King Hyperion and he could sever by assimilating with them, and that their strength was unbelievable.
Although that attack shattered their barrier, it didn't cause much damage. If Gatanothor had been serious, they would have been injured much more severely.
"The aura is wrong... Although it's strong, it's not as unattainable as Leo." Dimaga looked at the tentacles attacking again and rushed forward to block them with his body.
After so many special training sessions with Zetton and Jet, Dimaga is now basically immune to physical attacks. She absorbed most of the impact of this attack and turned it into her own power. She gritted her teeth, grabbed the tentacle, and pulled it out forcefully.
"Get out here!"
The force was so great that the entire ocean seemed to be shaken by Dimaga, causing visible tremors, but even so, it couldn't pull out the creature hiding at the bottom of the sea.
King Grand and Plasma Gomora rushed over to help. The three of them worked together and exerted their strength. A loud bang was heard from the sponge, and the creature hiding in the depths of the sea was pulled out and slammed onto the shoreline.
"It really isn't Gatanothor!" Dimaga made the judgment almost instantly. If it were Gatanothor himself, the three of them wouldn't have been able to budge him at all, but the guy who stood up from the ground was clearly not him.
It has huge, curved, sharp horns, completely upside-down facial features, and its entire body is covered with skin that is as rough as a reef and covered with scale-like textures. A giant shell resembling an ancient conch shell is carried on its back, wrapping around its shoulders and body.
Two octopus-like tentacles emerged from the shell on their shoulders. If you looked closely, you could see countless tentacles wriggling inside the huge conch shell on their backs, as if they were about to burst out and tear everyone apart.
However, Daigo keenly noticed that this monster, which had a strong Gatanothor aura, had a head that was completely upside down that resembled Camilla. The next moment, the faces of Hitler and Darram appeared on the carapace on its left and right shoulders.
"This is... being forcibly fused into this kind of monster?" Hong Kai immediately recognized what was going on, but a chill ran down his spine.
Gatanothor probably thought that Camilla and the other two were too useless, so he simply merged them into one monster. And that was indeed the case. Gatanothor's voice came from all around, filled with disdain and indifference.
"Three useless pieces of trash, even after merging, they're only at this level, utterly useless. Let it play with you for a bit."
Gatanothor got angry at this point. He had thought that these three guys were known as the strongest Dark Quartet along with Tiga in the ancient times, so even if they were not as strong as Tiga, they shouldn't be too far behind.
As a result, they were completely outmatched by Daigo, who didn't even have time to switch forms. None of them could withstand more than three moves from Daigo. Even after being strengthened, they still got the same result when facing Blaze, who had transformed into Genjin.
With this level of skill, they dare to claim they're eating at the same table as Ultraman Tiga? Gatanothor was actually hoping to see some good show. Feeling disappointed, he decided to make use of these guys and let them play a role in the end.
"Go on, Megarogher, and do your best."
At Gatanzee's command, Megaroghe let out a roar just like a war elephant and charged towards the group.
“Leave this to me.” King Grant clenched his fist. “You all go and deal with Gatanothor.”
Megalos is far weaker than Gatanothor, but he is also an enemy that cannot be defeated so quickly. It is best to leave King Grand to deal with him, while Razor Demaga is a key fighting force for our side.
"Then it's up to you." Dimaga didn't stand on ceremony. Although Ultimate Grand King wasn't very compatible with Megalord, holding him back and protecting himself wouldn't be a problem.
The battle at the North Pole has begun, and they must speed up their pace. But when Dimaga thought of Leo's plan, he couldn't help but shake his head. Putting all his hopes on something like that was not Leo's style.
This also shows just how troublesome the problem of ultimate darkness is, forcing Leo to choose this risky method.
Never mind, I'm Leo's monster anyway, so I'll just listen to my boss!
Chapter 623 Gatanothor Awakens
Although the strength of the three Dark Giants was somewhat embarrassing, Megalogeor, which was fused from the three of them, was quite remarkable, and even Ultimate Grand King felt considerable pressure.
Similarly, after realizing that most of his attacks were no threat to Ultimate Grand King, Megalord decisively chose close combat.
Megarogher's hands were both sharp, hard pincers, and its entire body was covered with an incredibly defensive carapace. King Grand's sword couldn't even leave a mark on it.
Fortunately, Megarogher itself doesn't have many attack methods. Apart from those annoying tentacles, it hasn't shown any particularly troublesome moves yet.
As soon as they engaged in close combat, King Granter sensed something was wrong. She felt that she was much weaker than Megarogher in terms of strength and thought she would be suppressed in close combat, but to her surprise, Megarogher actually took a few steps back.
This guy's power isn't as strong as it appeared earlier. Its normal level is about the same as Ultimate Grand King, or even slightly weaker.
Megarogher also realized that it was weaker than King Grand, but it was already close. Dozens of tentacles instantly stretched out from the huge conch shell on its back and bound King Grand tightly.
These tentacles were far more resilient than King Grand had imagined; she couldn't break free directly. Was the so-called close combat just a means to grab her?
A wave of light mixed with dark energy was released from the top horn of Megalogeor's head, which was its ultimate move, Dark Megalogeor Thunder. This powerful killing move could definitely break through King Grand's armor, which was so tough that even Emperor Abela's Dark Cloth sword was deflected when he slashed at it.
However, as everyone knows, the prerequisite for posing a threat is being able to hit the target. The next moment, King Grand teleported away from the tentacles' restraints, and Dark Megalo's lightning instead severed the tentacles that had been binding her.
Megarozear growled softly, looking up at King Grant in the sky, seemingly puzzled as to why the other could dodge. Gatanothor, however, who saw everything through Megarozear, understood perfectly well, "The Zetton Spark Doll, is it..."
Back on Mars, Gatanothor caused trouble and attracted Sphia, which corrupted King Joe and devoured a large number of Zettons, eventually fusing them into EX Pedanium Zetton.
Leo's original body was destroyed, so the Ultimate Fighting Necklace and Dark Spark had to use the Ultimate Darkness to create a new body for him. This was exactly Gatanothor's purpose, so that Leo would not be able to fully develop the power of light.
Unfortunately, Modius was a fool who let Leo escape her observation range and stay in the Plasma Universe for who knows how long. Now, Leo has not only balanced the power within him, but he may have also developed the Plasma Spark and the power of Grimd's light side.
“Leo…why don’t you understand? I’ve already made so many concessions.”
Gatanothor felt it was a pity; if Leo had been willing to marry her, everything would have been much simpler, and they wouldn't have had to fight to the death like this.
Well, the others should be arriving soon. Leo is going to deal with the Dark Shadow Mage, and the rest... well, Gatanothor won't give them any chances this time. But taking hostages and forcing Leo to marry him isn't out of the question.
Gatanothor looked to the other side, noticing something amiss with his tentacles. "What's wrong with you all now?"
"We just want to be with Leo as soon as possible!"
"Together! Together!"
"Long live Leo! Leo is number one! I still prefer Leo's childhood self, can we give him a new body?"
"Drag that guy out and chop him up. Only adult men are attractive. What do you know?"
Honestly, even though he created it himself, Gatanothor still finds it very strange every time he sees these tentacles swaying like wheat. An ordinary person would probably be terrified to death if they saw it.
"Sigh, can't you be a little more ambitious? Look at Grimd, he's been thinking about winning over Leo for ten years now, why don't you just focus on building up his affection!"
“Is it that I don’t want to?” Gatanothor retorted irritably. “The Earth’s will has been fighting with me for my body. Otherwise, I would have taken Leo and raised him myself. He wouldn’t have been left on land.”
Gatanothor desperately wanted to raise Leo to look like herself from a young age, but unfortunately, it wasn't possible, and the future she saw didn't include that aspect.
"Useless..." one of the tentacles muttered, which annoyed Gatanothor. "Shut up!"
"Speaking of which, if we get Leo, how should we divide him up?"
"What allocation?" Gatanothor raised an eyebrow. "You're all tentacles, and you can't do anything with Leo. Besides, you're just my clones, so of course he's mine."
"How domineering... We've helped a lot, at least give us some soup."
Gatanothor ignored its clone, simply closing its eyes and transforming into the deepest darkness, disappearing into the shadows. However, it did not notice that its tentacles were now surrounding a previously quiet tentacle.
"Hey sis, keep going! How's it like living with Leo? I'm so envious of you. By the way, Leo doesn't discriminate against monsters, does he?"
"Sister, hey sister, say something... Are you dead?"
"She's not dead, she seems to be asleep. Maybe it's because she was just born. Sigh, keep your voice down, lest the original body finds out and pulls it out."
Hmm, it's a bit noisy. Little Gatan opened her eyes and rubbed them. She was sleeping soundly. She's been very sleepy lately. Her mother, Renlong, said it's because her true form is unusually active and affecting this area. But what is her true form?
Little Gatan didn't understand. She simply opened her eyes and found herself lying in Gorgorgon's arms. Seele had already woken up, and both Gorgorgon and Sylbagun looked unwell.
Although he didn't understand what was happening, Gatan could sense that Leo was gathering his strength, which meant that Leo was facing a very powerful enemy.
On the other side, although the sea was boundless and darkness kept surging from beneath, Daigo was still able to find his way accurately. He clearly remembered that Gatanothor had been sealed in the ancient ruins of R'lyeh by him, and now, they would be facing their nemesis from 30 million years ago.
"We're almost there."
As Daigo finished speaking, an intuitive warning followed immediately. Hundreds of tentacles burst out of the sea. Daigo and the others hurriedly dodged, but only about twenty MK2s that couldn't escape in time were grabbed and crushed.
The sea churned, and countless dark clouds surged from its depths, plunging the surroundings into darkness. A distant, heavy roar, like that of a war elephant, echoed from beneath the sea.
Like a bomb exploding, a huge splash of water erupted, and the body of the Dark Ruler appeared on the surface of the sea. The colossal creature, a full thousand meters long, resembled a living, massive underwater volcano rising from the deep sea.
The entire nautilus is an upside-down giant shell covered with pits, holes and hard bumps. Its head is twisted and ferocious, with many blood-red eyes and a huge mouth full of sharp teeth on top of it. It is a bizarre posture that completely defies human common sense.
Countless bizarrely shaped tentacles extending from beneath its shell and a pair of enormous, sturdy claws sent chills down one's spine. It remained there, enveloped in a thick black mist that could bring absolute despair, with dozens of blood-red eyes fixed on the crowd of Ao and the mechanical legion of the Leo family before it.
"Come on, Ultramen of Light, let me see how much you've improved."
Gatanothor's black mist continued to spread, clashing with Leo's plasma crystal pillar. Countless tentacles spread out, attacking the group. Dimaga charged forward without hesitation, unleashing his Razor Shattering Wave, but it only managed to repel a few tentacles.
Gento pulled out the Falden Armor, Komon switched to the Blue Youth Type, Justice Crush Mode, Cosmos Cosmic Corona, Gaia and Agul directly entered S Mode, Gai also took out the Orb Holy Sword, and Daigo chose to directly charge up Zepelion.
Gauss and Justice unleash a perfect cross, Gaia and Agul unleash a double shatter, Zepelion merges with the Final Arrow Storm, and the Falden War Spear and Orb Supreme Sword are fired simultaneously.
The beams released by the eight people working together collided with Gatanothor's tentacles, creating a massive energy collision that split the surrounding sea. However, Gatanothor's tentacles continued to advance. Demacia clicked his tongue and immediately released the Space-Time Boundary, followed by a Dimension Destruction Beam to finish the job.
Plasma Gomora followed closely behind, its super plasma vibration wave advancing alongside, finally matching Gatanothor's attack. And this was merely a probing attack from the enemy.
Chapter 624 The Dark Shadow Mage Breaks the Seal
At the foot of Mount Everest, Leo took a deep breath. The plasma crystal pillars that were originally used to suppress the seal had been completely eroded and destroyed, and the surrounding air was filled with ultimate darkness.
If an ordinary human were standing here, they would fall into a coma just by taking a breath of air, but Leo felt full of energy. In the end, the ultimate darkness was no threat to him at all.
The ultimate darkness in the air showed considerable interest in Leo, but unlike the previous ones, it wasn't eager to merge with him. Clearly, the Dark Mage had a greater grasp of ultimate darkness than Gatanothor and Grimd.
The war at the North Pole has begun. Renina and Grimd are fighting, and Gatanothor in the Pacific Ocean has also started to move. Leo can feel the power of ultimate darkness clearly dispersing towards them.
"As expected, the ultimate darkness is both finite and infinite. Leaving aside the part on my body, the three of you and the River of Oblivion share it. If Gatanothor and Grimd take any action, your power will be weakened."
Of course, this only applies to the present. In the past, the three of them did indeed divide up the Ultimate Darkness, but all three of them wanted to obtain the power of the River of Oblivion and secretly connected with the dark ley lines of the River of Oblivion.
The sudden eruption of the River of Oblivion activated the Ultimate Darkness, which affected the three of them. While Gatanothor and Grimd would be more difficult to deal with than before, the Dark Shadow Mage would be further weakened.
"Masaki, Kirino, you guys are really something." Leo smiled. Having these two brothers and this group of good comrades was the luckiest thing in his life. "Then I can't complain about anything."
..................................................................
Sunday, sunny. Today, Boss Leo smiled at me three times. Yes, three times. I remember it very clearly.
The first time was in the morning. As always, I crowed to wake everyone up, then preened my feathers and waited for Sister Galatron to call everyone for breakfast.
Leo, the eldest brother, also woke up. He looked like he was sleeping soundly. He was Renlong's man, but he was much gentler than her, at least that's how it seemed. I thought he would be difficult to get along with, but that's not the case.
