Dark Tiga, what are you doing?

Chapter 236 This is Ultraman Taro
Taro could sense that although the Dark Spark power injected into Ace's human form was not complete, only a part of it, and the main body was not there, it was still not to be underestimated.

Especially if they are completely unprepared in their human form.

Even a power of this level could catch them off guard, so Taro couldn't understand why, according to the plot, Tian Liuhai should have already fallen for it, but the other party continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, constantly holding him in his hand and asking about his situation.

It's a pity he couldn't make a sound, otherwise he would have asked him what was going on.

Why is the other party acting as if nothing happened? Or is Dark Lugiel plotting something else? Is he secretly infiltrating the other party to find out the secrets of this planet?
Given the planet's existing defenses, it might actually be possible to defeat Dark Lugiel, since Dark Lugiel is also severely injured and his power is scattered.

Not entirely.

If things continue as usual, it would probably take at least a hundred years to recover to peak condition. Therefore, the other party will definitely do something to help restore their power.

To get back to my peak condition.

However, judging from the situation, Taro secretly suspected that Dark Lugiel was likely plotting something terrible. Possessing Ultraman was only part of the scheme; there were other, more cruel and drastic methods involved. He should remind him, Taro thought, opening his mouth again, only to forget that he couldn't speak at that moment, leaving him utterly puzzled.

Oh no, he needs to recover as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there was some good news: Tenryukai, who is also an Ultraman, found him and will surely take him to the other Ultramen.

Given his situation, if several Ultramen were to join forces, they could help him restore the power of light within him. While it might not necessarily remove him from his sealed state, it would at least allow him to speak and communicate normally. In terms of intelligence, he would certainly know far more than the Ultramen on this planet. He could then warn the Ultramen on Earth to prepare for the worst, lest they be caught off guard and suddenly killed.

Moreover, Tian Liuhai's body seems to contain the power of Dark Sparks.

The opponent had clearly infiltrated Tian Liuhai's body, and Tian Liuhai hadn't noticed at all. It makes sense, given the immense power of the Dark Spark; even with the opponent possessing the full power of Ace's Aura, it might not be possible to completely remove it from the body, even if it was only a part of the opponent.

After all, these dark beings are far too evil, and they often use unexpected methods to scheme against people.

Taro and his Land of Light were tricked multiple times, leading to the famous Spark War. Even the legendary King of Ultra, who supposedly lived in seclusion on King Planet, seemed to have been implicated. But what is the current situation of that King of Ultra?

Has it been affected?

Was it sealed away by the Dark Spark?

Taro had no idea about this, but the power of that legendary superman was beyond the comprehension of Ultra Warriors of their caliber.

Given the King of Ultra's abilities, he could most likely have prevented this disaster from happening. He's probably currently hiding somewhere, observing the situation.

Unfortunately, this king never makes a move lightly.

If the King of Ultra were willing to lead the Land of Light forward, many of the Land of Light's mortal enemies would be no problem at all, and could be easily dealt with under his leadership.

However, the King of Ultra had no such intention. Unless it was a cosmic-level catastrophe, the King of Ultra would not easily intervene, given his status and connection to the legendary Four Mysterious Ultras.

Taro had only heard of many of the legendary Ultramen, and he had never even seen the King of Ultra. He only knew that the King of Ultra was supposedly one of the four mysterious Ultras, a king-level being. The only time he had ever seen the King of Ultra in action was when he saw Belial.

The corrupted Belial, who was a major problem for the Land of Light, was defeated by the King of Ultra in a single encounter and imprisoned in the Space Prison.

They only imprisoned Belial because of the King of Ultra; otherwise, if an Ultra Warrior of Belial's caliber were to fall into darkness, it would be an unimaginable disaster. If Belial were allowed to continue like this, who knows what would happen? The best solution was to kill Belial here.

Unfortunately, Belial seems oblivious to the fact that the King of Ultra's efforts still cling to darkness, treating the dark power within his body as a treasure, even escaping from the cosmic prison. This leaves him with no real options.

After all, in terms of combat power, Belial can be considered a top-tier existence in the Land of Light. He has even been possessed by the ultimate life form Reiblood, which has further boosted his combat power. Sometimes, Taro wonders if Father of Ultra, wielding the Holy Sword and using true power, could defeat Belial.

In Taro's heart, Father of Ultra, possessing true power and wielding the Holy Sword, is a true cosmic hero who defeated Emperor Alien, the mortal enemy of the Land of Light, on the Land of Light's own territory. This power is something Taro dreams of, because with such power, he can better protect Earth and the universe.

Unfortunately, his normal state isn't this powerful. Even Super Taro requires the combined strength of all the Ultra Brothers to unleash his power. Furthermore, once Super Taro is fused, they will be weakened upon dissolving the fusion.

If a new enemy were to arrive at this time, it would be disastrous for them, as they would be almost powerless to resist and would be easily defeated.

Just as Taro was lost in thought, Tian Liuhai went to the Alchemy Star.

Although nominally, their Spark Doll state can only be removed by Galactic Spark or even Dark Spark to restore them to normal.

However, on the other hand, the Alchemy Star is home to scientists with advanced technology from the Ultraman universe. If Hikari, a scientist from the Land of Light, is also there, they might be able to help them break the seal ahead of schedule if they work together.

Neither Dark Spark nor Galaxy Spark is needed.

Tian Liuhai is quite optimistic about this.

Furthermore, the previous incident involving Death God L had already exposed the existence of the monster dolls. Dark Spark was thus brought into their view for the first time, and Masaki Keigo has likely already begun researching the monster dolls and is frantically searching for similar dolls around the world. Given Masaki Keigo's methods, he should already have some research results and clues. In addition, if Masaki Keigo had shared the data with other Ultramen on Alchemy Star, he might have already figured out something that could break the seal.

Although they didn't mention this in the Ultraman chat group, Tian Liuhai still had some confidence in them, so he took Taro to the Alchemy Star to find out the truth.

……

……

Alchemy Star. Tenryukai's uninvited arrival surprised Takayama Gamu. Of course, Takayama Gamu also suspected that the reason for Tenryukai's uninvited arrival was likely because he had once again set his sights on the Alchemy Star's cafeteria.

But guests are guests, and besides, they are all comrades who have shared life and death. What kind of problem is it for them to come and freeload at the cafeteria?

This is no big deal at all.

I warmly welcome you up to the mountain.

Tian Liuhai didn't immediately reveal Taro's situation. Instead, just as Takayama Gamu had predicted, he leisurely went to eat at Taro's cafeteria. Only then did he state that he had important business to discuss with them.

"What is it?" Takayama asked curiously.

It's astonishing that Tian Liuhai, such a busy man, would make a special trip to inform them. You see, Tian Liuhai avoids physical labor whenever possible, and would rather lie down than stand. He truly manages his energy to the utmost.

"I wonder if Masaki Keigo has told you about the monster doll incident a while ago?" Tenryukai asked.

"You mean those Spark Dolls that seal away the power of monsters? I did hear about that from Masaki Keigo, but we were busy working on the Wishing Red Ball project, so we only heard about it but didn't get involved. It's still quite unusual, though—ordinary dolls possessing monster power, or perhaps monsters are sealed away and turned into dolls. Either way, it's incredibly astonishing." Takayama Gamu frowned. "According to Masaki Keigo, he's collected quite a few monster dolls on Earth recently, but for some reason, none of them are Ultraman dolls? Perhaps it's because Ultraman Spark Dolls are relatively rare on Earth?"

"Have you tried to research how to unleash the power within the dolls?" Tian Liuhai asked.

“We did some preliminary research, but after a brief study, Hikari said that this was not an ordinary event, but rather shrouded in a very unique darkness, and quite complex. It would be difficult to make any progress in the short term,” Takayama Gamu said.

"In other words, nothing has been developed to replace the Dark Spark or the Galaxy Spark." Tian Liuhai rested his chin on his hand.

He felt this must be the result of the Alchemy Star members not working hard enough.

If they work hard enough, they should be able to develop a replacement very quickly.

Even if it's not perfect.

It might just be a one-time consumable, so it doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, although they understood that this matter was important, it didn't seem to be important enough to them. Clearly, the research on the Wishing Red Ball seemed to be more important than the Monster Doll. In that case, they were not clear about or understood the Spark War, so naturally they didn't take it seriously.

Tian Liuhai pulled out Taro's Spark Doll from his pocket.

"check it out."

"Ok?"

Upon closer inspection, Takayama Gamu, being a native Ultraman of Earth, realized that he didn't know much about the members of the Land of Light's Ultraman team or what they looked like.

However, he could still somewhat discern the style of Ultraman from the Land of Light. The moment he saw the Taro doll, he recognized that it seemed to belong to the style of Ultraman from the Land of Light. He looked up at Tian Liuhai in disbelief, asking with a hint of doubt, "Could this be a Spark Doll that inherited the power of Ultraman?"

"To correct you, it should be Ultraman who was sealed away," Tian Liuhai said.

Hikari will likely create Ultraman dolls or medal cards in the future, but unfortunately, it seems that's not happening now. Tian Liuhai feels it's necessary to remind Hikari to get this matter on the agenda as soon as possible, so that protecting everyone on Earth can be made easier.

"The sealed Ultraman from the Land of Light?" Upon hearing this, Takayama Gamu's expression turned serious.

This is the first Ultraman doll ever discovered on Earth.

He had been thinking that perhaps no Ultraman had ever suffered such a disaster, but he never expected that his idea would not last long before the first Ultraman victim appeared so quickly.

"I checked Ace's memory bank, and if I'm not mistaken, this is one of the Ultra Brothers from the Land of Light, an existence on par with Ace and Seven, Ultraman Taro."

Tenryukai introduced Takayama Gamu, "However, his condition doesn't seem very good right now. He can't even speak. I was thinking that since it's been quite a while, you might have come up with something that could temporarily free the puppet. So I came to see you. But, to my surprise, you haven't managed to pull anything off yet. It's a real pity. Otherwise, we could have tried to revive Ultraman Taro early and learn something from him."

It wasn't that Tian Liuhai was particularly kind; it was mainly because he felt that if everyone on Earth were completely unaware of intelligence...

That would definitely create a lot of trouble for him, so in order to reduce some unnecessary trouble, he should do what he can, but not too much, just what he is capable of.

Takayama Gamu stood up and said, "Then this matter is very important. Why did you wait until after you finished eating to say it?"

"Because I know that if I say anything as soon as I come in, I definitely won't get any food," Tian Liuhai said seriously.

I was speechless, lost in my dreams of the high mountains.

He then began contacting Masaki Keigo.

“We haven’t focused on this area of ​​research, but Masaki Keigo may have already made some progress.”
