Land of Light: The strongest support system, sweeping through nebulae.

Give up, Reges. The power of darkness is stronger than you think.

Regeus gripped the sword of light tightly.

I will never give up; I believe the power of light can overcome everything.

Ultraman Yuru charged at Reges again, his fist unleashing a powerful purple light.

Reges dodged, unleashing his Light Fist while simultaneously blocking Ultraman Yuru's attack with his Light Sword.

The lights collided, producing a piercing noise, creating a spectacular scene.

Do you really believe that darkness is the only way out?

Reggies demanded loudly,

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ultraman Grinda quickly approached Reges, her fist crackling with electricity as she slammed it into Reges's head.

Reggies dodged to the side.

We are no longer bound, Reges!

Ultraman Estrella swooped down from the sky, his fist of light flashing like lightning.

Ultraman Dino watched silently, his heart filled with conflict.

"Wake up!"

But Ultraman Dino seemed to be deep in thought and did not respond.

Reges slowly drew his light blade, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He still refused to harm his companions.

I don't want to hurt you, but this is a choice I'm forced to make. Darkness isn't the only way out; we can find other solutions.

Ultraman Yuru sneered and continued to fire purple beams. Reges blocked them with his light blade, but the purple beams still threatened him.

Ultraman Grinda swiftly traversed the battlefield, unleashing her electric arc fists, causing Reges to roll several times on the ground.

Ultraman Regis gradually felt his strength failing during the continuous battle.

His breathing was rapid, and his Ultraman armor was soaked with sweat.

Ultraman Grinda's electric grid seized this opportunity during a period of weakness.

The electric grid hurtled towards them, like a giant spider web tightly wrapping around Reges...

Reges struggled, but the energy of the electric grid bound him tightly.

He roared desperately, but the restraints only made him feel more powerless.

Ultraman Glinda revealed a smug smile.

"Do you see that? That's the power of darkness, irresistible."

Ultraman Yuru and Ultraman Estella also stopped their attacks.

Reges's body trembled painfully within the electric grid as he struggled to break free of its restraints.

"Friends, don't be blinded by darkness! We are Ultraman!"

"System, System, are you there? Why didn't any of the monsters we killed drop monster cores?"

However, the system in the brain did not make any sound; it was as if the brain was blank.

At that moment, Reges understood that it was all a sinister conspiracy, a game prepared by the Dark Emperor for his amusement.

The darkness of the Land of Light has never truly left...

Suddenly, I started to worry about Julian, who was still recovering from her injuries in the Land of Light. Was she still safe?

Just when Reges felt helpless, a sudden voice broke the silence of the battlefield.

Stop!

All the Ultramen turned to look in the direction from which the voice came, and they were startled, because the voice belonged to Yullian.

Julian's appearance made the atmosphere on the battlefield even more tense. She stepped over the wreckage while holding a glowing Ultraman core.

Julian, what are you doing here?

Reggies couldn't believe his 4.2 eyes.

Yulian smiled, her gaze sweeping over each Ultraman on the battlefield.

I received a message from Belial, the Dark Lord. He said he could help the Land of Light recover, provided I helped him achieve a certain goal. I didn't understand his intentions, but I came here and saw everything.

Julian's gaze fell upon Ultraman Dino.

Dino, why aren't you fighting alongside us? Why are you standing by and doing nothing?

The inner conflict of Ultraman Dino resurfaced on his face, but he still did not respond.

Julian walked over to Reges and handed him the Ultraman Core.

This was given to me by Belial, the Dark Emperor. He seems to want your core. Perhaps, this is what he has been searching for all along.

Reggies hesitated for a moment, but ultimately took the kernel.

Chapter 127: The Ruler of the Universe

Looking at the core in his hand, Reges didn't sense anything special about it.

At this moment, the Ultramen around him did not show any signs of attacking.

Julian stood in front of her temple, her expression filled with love.

Then he looked at the kernel in his hand.

Julian looked at Reges with deep affection and nodded.

"Replace the energy crystal on your chest, and you will become even more powerful, enough to destroy that Dark Emperor."

"Now, you will become the master of the universe."

Hearing these words, Reges closed his eyes, trusting Julian completely.

He slowly removed the energy crystal from his chest.

In an instant, I felt numb all over, lost my strength, and became an ordinary person.

Then, the instant Yullian placed the crystal slot on the Ultraman armor on the chest of the Energy Crystal King.

The system's voice actually rang in my mind.

"Regess, this is an extremely dangerous time. Even I, as your system, am finding it difficult to cope!"

Reges was shocked to hear this, and for a moment he felt that the only thing he could trust in this universe was the system.

Indeed, what Julian just said about episode 07 sounded rather eerie.

then

“Julian, brothers and sisters, I’m going to the side to think about some things. Don’t follow me. At least for now, I am still the King of the Land of Light, so I order you not to follow me.”

After saying that, Reges walked behind a charred rock.

"System, what were you just saying? Are you still being corrupted by the power of darkness? Julian is the only person I can trust. She is my everything."

"What about You Lian? Don't you care about her too? She's already the Dark Queen by the Dark Emperor's side!"

Upon hearing this, Reges sighed, realizing that he had indeed forgotten about Yu Lian's existence.

The whole process seemed particularly bizarre.

"So..."

The system interrupted Reges.

"Because your brain has also begun to be corrupted by the power of darkness, the energy crystal in your hand is something that helps accelerate the process of corruption!"

"You are the only Ultraman in the universe with SSS+ talent, so the Dark Emperor doesn't want to kill you directly, but wants to make you his puppet!"

Reggies didn't know how to explain it for a moment; he just felt his mind was in complete chaos.

"Then, what about Julian? I feel like she's the only one in my heart right now, and she wouldn't lie to me no matter what!"

Reggies's voice carried this indifference and skepticism.

The system's voice was unusually serious, devoid of any of its usual joking and laughing.

"Yes, Julian is the princess of the Land of Light. She is indeed the embodiment of justice and light, but she is no longer herself."

"Do you know what? If you truly want to help Julian, to help the Land of Light, then you must wake up now. Even though you're only at a god-level physique right now, you need to wake up. Save them!"

The system's words were firmly etched into Reges's mind.

"So what am I supposed to do now? I'm a King-level being now, but I'm no match for that Dark Emperor Belial. I was just made a fool of by him before!"

"I'm afraid this is all the advice I can give you. I've already begun to be corrupted, so the rest of your journey is up to you. The future of the universe, the future of the Land of Light—all hope rests on your shoulders!"

"You will become the savior of the universe. At that time, you will become the supreme god-king, breaking through the god level to become a super god."

As it spoke, the system's voice faded away. (The last line appears to be a string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)

"System, are you still there?"

No answer.
