Dark Tiga, what are you doing?

Chapter 107 Light Follows Darkness
The pitch-black shell has unique black holes, from which emanate waves of highly corrosive black mist, enough to assimilate countless living beings. Numerous pitch-black tentacles, like whiskers, emerge from the dark tunnels, densely packed and particularly terrifying. People with trypophobia will feel their scalp tingle at just one glance.

The enormous, jet-black crab claws soared into the air, circling around, their tiny black spikes adding to their unique style. When they fell, they were enough to easily crush an entire mountain and pulverize everything in their path.

The upside-down, ferocious face revealed rows of sharp fangs, gleaming coldly. With each opening and closing of its mouth, it seemed that nothing was beyond its ability to crush. Its scarlet eyes held no intelligence, only endless killing and destructive desires. Primal instincts filled the entire massive body, and its killing intent towards the Alien Empera continued to rise.

Although the entire dark body, as imposing as Mount Tai, was not fully revealed, even half of its arrival exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression. The black mist drifted and spread continuously, as if it had merged with a dark ocean. The black mist above made it impossible to discern the full form of the dark ruler, as if an ancient sovereign had descended in the present, crossing boundaries and bringing boundless power.

Beneath the menacing black armor of the Alien Empera, the Emperor stared at Gatanothor, the Dark Ruler, feeling the overwhelming killing intent emanating from him, and sensing the darkness cascading down like a waterfall, locking onto him.

Although it was imperceptible to the naked eye, the Alien Empera, as the person involved, felt it very clearly.

A unique dark barrier seemed to have formed around him, attempting to restrict his movements. For the Alien Emperor, this level of dark barrier could be easily shattered, but for ordinary beings, or even any of the Ultra Brothers, they could not do it. Only the Emperor in his armor could accomplish this.

It's obvious that they're targeting him.

The Alien Ambela wasn't in a hurry to break the dark barrier surrounding him. He wanted to see how the ruler of darkness would react and how he would deal with him. He had always been the one fighting against powerful light; this was the first time he had encountered and contended with powerful darkness.

Dark Tiga watched from the sidelines, also feeling curious.

It should be noted that the dark dimension formed by the dark power released from his body has become an almost independent dimension, separated from the Earth world, and difficult to detect. It is very difficult to enter, and of course, it is even more difficult to leave once inside, since he, the lord of the dark dimension, stands there, and it is very difficult to leave without his permission.

The Dark Ruler Gatanothor arrived suddenly, without any warning. Given his dark status in the Ultraman Tiga universe, this can be disregarded.

However, once the other party appeared, they targeted Alien Empera and ignored him. Why was that? Was it because he had been active in the ancient times, which led to Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, accepting him?

The Aliens of Empera are the current invaders, and their blatant invasion and display of their dark power might be seen as a provocation by the Dark Ruler. After all, in the ancient times, the Dark Ruler was an invincible being, suppressing the universe, and his elite military forces were renowned for their power.

The arrival of a single Alien Empera would be fine, but the fact that he brought the entire Dark Empire with him directly awakened the Dark Ruler.
Dark Tiga observed Gatanothor's current state and realized that he did not appear to be fully revived, but rather was in a state of instinctive resistance.

Because the dark intrusion of the Aliens was too strong, it provoked the slumbering Dark Ruler Gatanothor, who then harbored murderous intent towards them. As for why the Dark Ruler wanted to protect Earth, perhaps it was because he desired to be worshipped by the world? Who knows?

Dark Tiga stared, there was one more thing.

For some reason, even though this was his first time meeting the Dark Ruler, the world-destroying boss who appeared throughout the Ultraman Tiga TV series, known as the Dark Calamity, the ultimate darkness that descended upon Earth, whose mere hint of darkness was enough to overturn an entire civilization and determine the rise and fall of a planet's civilization, he inexplicably felt a very familiar aura from the Dark Ruler Gatanothor.

It doesn't make sense.

This is our first time meeting.

how can that be possible.

Dark Tiga was curious.

The colossal body of Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, seemed to sink into the sky, bringing immense pressure, like the abyss of heaven falling, bringing a vast darkness that swept in until it reached the Alien Empera.

Do you want to use your physical advantage to intimidate others?

The Alien Emperor saw this.

He slowly raised the dark trident, which contained supreme power.

Thunderclouds gathered, and a tremendous energy surge converged at the tip of the trident. A black and red ray shot straight toward the Dark Ruler, still the Rezolim Ray.

This Rezolim Beam was incredibly powerful and terrifying.

The Dark Ruler Gatanothor, falling like an abyss, struck, creating a massive ripple below. This slowed Gatanothor's descent, and its enormous body, which had been plummeting downwards, began to rise again. It seemed it was about to be blasted back out of the Dark Dimension by the Rezolim Beam.

"You seem to have forgotten about me." The Dark Ruler Gatanothor's target is Alien Empera, which is actually a good thing for Dark Tiga. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although he is not sure if the Dark Ruler will attack him, the Dark Ruler is currently targeting Alien Empera.

How could he possibly stand idly by?
Of course, we need to add some pressure to Alien Empera.

Dark Tiga crossed his arms, his entire body flashed with silver-purple light, and a long banner filled with black-purple energy gathered in front of his chest. He then swung his arms in an L-shape and released the devastating Dark Zepelion Ray from his arms, striking towards Alien Empera.

"Not so easy." The Alien Ambera, clad in dark armor, suddenly turned around, slowly raised his right hand, and released the True Rezolim Ray from his arm, which was more destructive than the Rezolim Ray released by the Dark Trident.

The two beams of light collided, creating a towering pillar that continuously impacted the Dark Dimension. Within the Dark Dimension, a vast ocean of darkness was filled with a terrifying surge. Fortunately, the Dark Dimension was an independent dimension, and no matter how much commotion occurred inside, it would not affect the outside world, unless Dark Tiga, the dimensional lord, died.

The battle between the three was particularly fierce, with a deafening roar.

They realized that the Dark Emperor's strength was not to be underestimated.

The Dark Ruler Gatanothor, hovering above, took on a new form. No longer simply intimidating, its endless tentacles writhed, reaching out to entangle the Emperor clad in dark armor. One after another, jet-black tentacles pierced the boundaries, binding the Emperor's limbs and continuously releasing black mist to erode him. The Ruler was attempting to control the darkness within the Dark Emperor.

Faced with the invasion of the dark tentacles, the Dark Emperor twisted the Empera Blade in his hand, and a black light emerged. In the later stages of the TV series, Tiga could only sever one tentacle of the Dark Ruler Gatanothor with a full-force attack. Now, the Empera alien, wearing dark armor, with the support of this power, severed countless tentacles with the Empera Blade in his hand, forming a stark contrast with Tiga.

However, suddenly, a huge, pitch-black crab claw appeared on the emperor's head and slammed down on him. In an instant, the earth shook violently, and the emperor was hurled into the abyss of darkness below, his body plummeting straight down.

Dark Tiga flashed, two afterimages appearing and disappearing to the left and right. His true form appeared further below in the Dark Dimension, facing the scattered and falling Alien Empera. A surge of dark power erupted from the Dark Dimension, coinciding with Dark Tiga's punch. It was—a serious punch!
The fist was incredibly powerful, carrying unparalleled dark energy as it struck, sending Alien Empera flying backwards once more. The next second, Gatanothor, the Dark Ruler, attacked again with his dark tentacles, slapping Alien Empera away once more.

They bounced back and forth like a ball.

Protected by his dark armor, Alien Empera appeared disheveled, but in reality, he hadn't suffered much actual damage. The sharp horn atop his armor erupted with a dazzling crimson light, and the Dark Trident and Empera's Blade spun, forming an invisible barrier that prevented the enemy from getting close enough to affect him. Alien Empera pressed the sharp points of his two weapons together, unleashing a dark ray that shot out like a meteor, scattering in all directions like a shower of petals, attacking Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, and Dark Tiga, the king of darkness.

Gatanothor, the Dark Ruler, roared, his pure killing intent transforming into a tangible surge of darkness. A thin film of darkness enveloped his entire body, remaining unaffected by the dark meteor shower of the Ambera aliens. The only drain on his dark power was the amount of darkness within him. And in terms of dark power, the three beings present were individually possessing immense quantities. As long as their defensive limits weren't exceeded, they could continue their defense indefinitely; after all, the total amount of darkness was vast.

Dark Tiga's body seemed to transform into a vortex, constantly absorbing the attacks launched by Alien Empera. His figure flashed and disappeared, making him difficult to catch, much like the legendary Hyper Zetton. With the assistance of the Dark Dimension, even though Alien Empera was tracking Dark Tiga's movements, he still couldn't determine where Dark Tiga would appear next.

Just as Alien Empera was on high alert, Dark Tiga appeared directly above him in the next second, decisively throwing a silver fist at the horn of the dark armor. Although the dark armor was forged to be extremely powerful, it seemed somewhat inadequate against the ferocity of the Dark King.

The horn on its head was shattered by Dark Tiga's punch, causing Alien Empera's head to tilt slightly to the left. Then, after straightening itself, it thrust the Dark Trident upwards, but missed.

However, Emperor's Blade was not idle either. It predicted the location of Dark Tiga's appearance and slashed straight at his face, but Dark Tiga caught the blade with his bare hands.

Emperor Alien exerted his strength, trying to overwhelm Dark Tiga with his power and strike him with the Emperor Blade, causing damage. Emperor Alien had a certain degree of confidence in his weapon, believing that as long as the weapon struck his opponent, it would definitely cause damage and tear through his Ultra skin.

However, this was a righteous two against one. Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, fully revealed himself from the dark vortex. His terrifying and oppressive appearance made him a true dark god. His gaping maw full of fangs transformed into phantom images around the Dark Emperor Alien Empera, devouring him bite by bite. Even with the protection of his dark armor, some teeth marks were left on it.

If the Abera alien wasn't wearing this armor, then directly hitting the Abera alien would probably cause it some damage.

"Annoying!" Alien Empera was focused on dealing with Dark Tiga, but the Dark Ruler kept interrupting him, which annoyed him. After abandoning Dark Tiga, Alien Empera threw another black hole seal he had conjured in his hand at the Dark Ruler.

"Immerse yourself in the eternal night, your darkness is submerged in my darkness, forever sink into oblivion." This time, the black hole seal that the Emperor threw out was even more troublesome than the one used to deal with Dark Tiga, after all, he was also wearing dark armor.

Even if he couldn't completely seal away the Dark Ruler Gatanothor, it would be enough to buy him some time, and during that time, he could concentrate on dealing with Dark Tiga.

He could tell that Gatanothor, the ruler of darkness, was not very conscious at this moment.

An opponent who only knows how to kill is clearly at a disadvantage in breaking the seal. After all, the opponent only knows how to use brute force to destroy it.

Faced with the black hole seal, the Dark Ruler only knew how to confront it head-on, without knowing how to dodge. In a short time, the Dark Ruler was sealed inside. Although it couldn't be sealed indefinitely, it was enough to buy some time.

During this time, the Dark Emperor Alien Emperor turned around again to face the Dark King Ultraman Tiga.

"The skirmish is over. Even if you and your companions join forces, you are no match for me." Alien Empera touched the missing horn on the head of the dark armor, and the dark trident and Empera's Blade began to spin.

"Double Dark Slash!"

Two ultimate dark weapons unleashed a fierce strike.

They charged toward Dark Tiga.

Dark Tiga summoned the Dark Divine Light Sword once more, and a black energy shield appeared around him. Facing Emperor Alien's killing blow, he was not afraid at all and fought against him again.

The energy of the entire Dark Dimension was mobilized by Dark Tiga. He recalled the giant divine light ultimate sword that Ida Ryu had released when he controlled Ultraman Tiga.

With the support of the energy of the entire dark dimension, the Dark Divine Light Sword suddenly expanded, reaching a length of 999 meters, and slashed towards Alien Empera. It collided with Alien Empera's double dark slash, and once again burst forth with dazzling dark sparks.

"Dark Punisher!"

Alien Empera and the Dark Armor detached, transforming into two god-like figures that charged towards Dark Tiga, attacking from both sides. One wielded Empera's Blade, while the other held the Dark Trident.

"Cha!" Facing the pincer attack, Dark Tiga moved frantically, his dark figure flashing back and forth in the Dark Dimension. Alien Empera and the Dark Armor pursued him together, like two shooting stars. Each collision caused the entire Dark Dimension to rumble and tremble. However, the Dark Dimension was much more robust than the Dark Domain, enough to withstand this level of battle.

"Let me see your true strength!" The dark light emanating from the Emperor Alien's hand grew even stronger. His body merged back into the dark armor, wielding a dark trident in one hand and the Emperor Blade in the other. As the two ultimate dark weapons clashed once more, within the dark dimension, centered on the Emperor Alien, this darkness formed a small dark space, enveloping Dark Tiga and the Emperor Alien. Within this dark space, the Emperor Alien held absolute dominance.

Within the Dark Disaster Space, countless meteorites fell, each possessing a destructive power far exceeding that of ordinary meteorites. Any one of them could destroy the Earth's surface and cause a mass extinction.

However, meteorites like these were densely packed in the dark space, falling continuously like shooting stars.

The Alien Empera was high above, and his two divine weapons could strike wherever they pointed, causing a rain of meteors and meteorites to fall everywhere.

Seeing this, Dark Tiga once again unleashed the Dark Zeperion Ray to sweep away the dark meteorite cluster.

The darkness within him erupted with all its might, causing an apocalyptic scene to unfold.

"Very good, this is what a real battle looks like." Seeing this, Alien Empera knew that Dark Tiga was about to engage in a real fight.

As Dark Tiga swept across with all his might, a faint golden light inadvertently flashed within his abyss-like dark power. It seemed insignificant in the face of the vast, ocean-like dark power, yet it was so conspicuous.

And the same scene didn't only occur with Dark Tiga.

Gatanothor, the Dark Ruler sealed within the black hole, unleashed a devastating barrage of light, his crimson eyes flashing with a golden glint.

……

……

I went to bed at midnight yesterday, woke up at 6 am, and kept waking up during the night.
I haven't caught up on the sleep I missed the past few days, and I look so pale and weak in the mirror. My dark circles are so thick, and my eyes look puffy, haha.
