Hunting Tartarus for 100,000 years

"Who are you?"

Max's eyes flashed.

He hesitated and said, "I am... a small stone?"

"Who are you?" Max suddenly attacked, punched him in the face, and continued to ask.

He paused, "I'm... a Bemenstein who works hard to eat?"

Max hit him in the face again and yelled, "Who are you!"

He covered his painful face, his eyes still revealing confusion, "I am! I am... Shafulin?"

Ultraman Max used all his strength to punch out again, "Tell me! Who are you!!"

His head tilted to the side, his figure swayed, he covered the place where he had just been hit, raised his head, and said with all his strength: "I am! I am...who?"

"who I am?!"

"I'm an Ultraman! But...but who am I?"

Max looked at him blankly and said slowly, "Do you know? In this universe, there are two kinds of people. One kind is those who are controlled by fate. They think they can change their fate because of their strength, but they don't know that they have never escaped it. The second kind is those who control their own destiny. Their fate is never controlled by anyone, anything, not even time or space. No one can influence their fate."

"The first type is everyone in the world, and the second type only has two people. Their existence is not determined by their strength. Of the two of them, one is extremely powerful, while the other is relatively average."

"With the help of my comrade Kaito Touma, I once defeated a powerful enemy and entered a strange dimension, luckily becoming the second type of person. As for you, you are the third type. This world no longer has a destiny for you; it was taken away by a certain being. You carry an aura that doesn't belong to this world."

"You are no longer you."

"You no longer belong to this world."

He listened to Max's words in a daze, and suddenly he felt something piercing his heart.

"But you still have your own ties in this world."

"Don't forget your bond. It can protect you from being forgotten by the world."

"Ultra Warrior! Remember who you are!"

He listened blankly to what Max said to him.

"Bond?"

Max's eyes suddenly shone into the energy lamp on his forehead.

boom! !

In an instant, his mind seemed to be hit by something!

Something seemed to be whispering in his ear.

The sound was very noisy, but it became more and more frequent, louder and clearer!

Countless words exploded in his ears!

His father’s, his master’s, his friends’, and his own!

"Don't get close to this light! You simply can't bear it! Unfortunately, you have lost your qualifications as an Ultra Warrior."

"Wait a minute, you just saved that little guy's life!"

"Seven entrusted you to us after you nearly made a huge mistake. He hoped that you would receive rigorous training and become a true Ultraman. Now it seems that the time has come."

"You've finally grown up."

"Think carefully about your days of training!"

"We can't lose, we absolutely can't lose, we can't lose! As long as we gather together and help each other, the Shield of Paraji will be created. There is power within each of us!"

"Some things can only be discovered when you surpass your own limits, just like the power you hold tightly in your hands! Stand up! We still have the power to protect!"

"Why bow your head? We met you, fought together, gave it our all, without a single regret. You still have lives to save, and aren't there more hearts waiting for you to rescue them? We trusted you and entrusted our lives to you. We took a step forward for this. You can't just stand still here. Move forward!"

"I swore a vow on that day. I tried to seize the power of the Plasma Spark, but Dad stopped me in time. So I swore that I would master the power to defeat everyone and personally protect the Kingdom of Light."

"No matter how painful the moment is, you must never forget that a bright future is shining in your eyes!"

"Work hard to become stronger! Only by being truly strong can you break free from the shackles of this world!"

"It's not over yet... It's not over yet! I still have something I must protect!!"

He covered his head and squatted down in pain. The words in his mind exploded as if to swallow him.

"Uh...ah!!!"

"me……"

"I'm……"

Ultraman Max patted his shoulder and said, "So...are you still not waking up? Ultraman Zero!!"

hum-

hum-

A burst of tinnitus broke into his heart!

"Zero! Zero!"

Countless whispers lingered in his heart.

Gradually, all the words faded away.

Finally, only the echo of "Cero...Cero..." was left, getting closer and clearer...

"what--"

Infinite light burst out from him!

In the light, his voice burst out!

"I'm not a Shaforin, let alone Bemonstan! I'm Cero! I'm Cero!!"

"As long as there is something worth protecting, I will be Ultraman Zero!"

He is Cero!

It's the real Cero!

Suddenly!

The space around Ultraman Zero and Ultraman Max suddenly became dark.

A wisp of purple mist that rose from nowhere suddenly surrounded the two of them. The purple mist continued to spread and extend, eventually forming a strange space!

Looking around, there was endless fog.

Ultraman Zero looked up.

Countless purple mists gathered in the air and gradually formed a figure.

That figure, with red and blue skin, energy armor on the chest, and two darts on the head, was exactly the same as him!

Ultraman Zero turned his body slightly and prepared to defend himself. He raised his head and murmured softly to "Ultraman Zero" in the air.

"I'm Cero, who are you... So, Zeta and I didn't escape your pursuit, right? The Creator God of Destiny? Cero."

Seros shook the bracelet of destiny and the aura of legend on his wrist, smiled slightly, and said softly:

"That's right. The moment you locked me up and used the Legendary Burst, I used the Wings of Noah, the Reijido Energy Core, the Dark Lucifer Energy Core that absorbed high-dimensional energy, and the power of the Bracelet of Destiny to break the seal on myself and break the confinement of the space-time black hole.

"And I used all my power of destiny to forcibly deprive you of your fate. I became Ultraman Zero in your place, and without the knowledge of Delacion and Carafal, I was able to walk the world. I originally thought that you would disappear into the universe. But I didn't expect that in this world, besides me, there was actually another person who had entered that place...

He turned to Ultraman Max, "The place where destiny originates, the end of the world."
