Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

A massive explosion reverberated throughout the mountains. The previously ravaged cave entrance collapsed completely under the bombardment of the earthen walls. Rolling rocks tumbled down the mountainside, some falling to the foot and others burying the mountainside. Smoke and dust rose, obscuring all light, leaving outsiders with only a gray, deathly silence.

Tu Yu knelt on the spot, motionless and devoid of any dignity. Qing Xuan was utterly desperate. Regardless of whether Luo Yi's words were true or not, he had just killed his friend with his own hands and used the power of the monster to bombard the humans he wanted to protect.

Despite the burning sensation caused by the Earth Control Contract, Qingxuan let it tear at his skin, as long as the pain could offset the guilt in his heart.

As the Earth Shadow approached with murderous intent, Qingxuan made no defensive moves. Even when the Earth Shadow's claws pierced the Earth Spirit's chest, Qingxuan did not utter a single word.

"To be honest, you weren't very good at playing the role of a hero. But on the bright side, at least you gave me a lot of fun before your curtain fell and made me realize one thing—you were definitely not the choice to be a hero."

The Earth Shadow plunged his claw blade into the core of the Earth Guardian, extracting its energy and information, and followed Luo Yi's instructions, using his magic to accomplish this.

Luo Yi had already lost interest in Qing Xuan. Looking at the Earth Controller who offered no resistance, Luo Yi could imagine that Qing Xuan, as an Earth Controller, was probably half-dead.

After extracting the resources he needed, the Tsuchikage placed the Tsuchigumo on the ground. Ryouichi's goal had been achieved, and the rest was up to the Tsuchikage.

The Tsuchikage had been waiting for this moment for far too long. It had imagined this scene countless times, but when it actually trampled Tsuchigu under its feet, the Tsuchikage never expected it to be so easy.

But this is good too. Once the Tsuchikage kills Tsuchikage, it will storm into the town, find everyone who wronged it back then, and make them all experience a hundred times more pain than it did before!

Just as Tsuchikage swung his spiked hammer at Tsuchiyu, another explosion erupted from the entrance of the Dark Rock Cave, followed by a flash of light. The Giant of Light flew out of the buried pit, holding a ball of light in his hand to protect Sean and Ajiu, breaking through all the gloom and obstacles, bravely moving forward while still maintaining its own brilliance.

"Qingxuan! Qingxuan, are you alright?!"

"Don't move, Sean! You're injured."

Seeing Tsuchiya collapsed on the ground in the distance, Zeta could understand Sean's anxious feelings. Seeing this, Ajiu quickly tried to stop him, as Sean was moving around on his own before her healing magic could be fully applied.

Zeta transferred the orb of light down to the guild members rushing towards them, then released a ball of light from the Pure Crystal of Courage to help heal them. He then quickly rushed to the position of Tsuchimori, maintaining the Beta Impact form and assuming a battle stance.

"Wow, I didn't expect the hero to be so much faster than I thought. You eliminated the Ace Demon so quickly? Did you use a beam of light or a gun and bow?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Ao Xiao is alive and well. I'm not a villain like you!"

Zeta and Haruki didn't want to talk to Luo Yi and the Tsuchikage any further. The Tsuchikage was currently covered in injuries, and his appearance was completely different from before. He exuded a fierce aura and had a weapon in his hand that he didn't know where it came from. Everything told Zeta that the current Tsuchikage was in great danger.

"Why are you so fierce, Hero? I really admire you. You're definitely more heroic than the Earth Master. I'm sorry about what happened, but I was just following orders. You can't blame me for everything."

"Get away from Tsuchiya!"

Zeta ignored Luo Yi's words and launched a Crescent Slash, rushing towards the Tsuchikage's position with a powerful attack.

Despite his displeasure, Luo Yi had no choice but to swallow his anger and defend himself against Zeta's slashes, quickly retreating to dodge the first round of Crescent Slash.

After the Crescent Slash missed, it flipped in mid-air and, driven by Zeta's psychic powers, attacked the Tsuchikage again. Seeing the light slash that could change direction, Luo Yi realized that it would be difficult to escape by dodging alone. He immediately had the Tsuchikage swing his spiked hammer and swing it hard to meet the Crescent Slash head-on, defeating the light slash. He himself also staggered backward.

Taking this opportunity, Zeta came to Tsuchikage's side, stood in front of him, and confronted the Tsuchikage in the distance, keeping a watchful eye on any moves the Tsuchikage might make.

"Alright, now is not the time to fight you, Hero. I won't make things difficult for everyone this time. Farewell, and I look forward to seeing you again!"

Seeing that communication with Zeta was fruitless, Luo Yi didn't want to be foolish enough to invite trouble. With his strength, even two Tsuchikages might not be able to defeat Zeta. It was best to retreat for now, as Luo Yi had other tasks to complete. After bidding farewell to the resolute hero and admiring his heroic figure, Luo Yi and the Tsuchikage used Earth Release to leave the area.

In his breakdown, Qingxuan heard a familiar voice. He regained some consciousness and opened his eyes to see Zeta standing beside him. Qingxuan was overjoyed, but not understanding the true situation, he felt extremely guilty when he thought of Sean. His battered body could no longer support the intensity of his emotions. After taking one last look at Zeta supporting him, Qingxuan completely lost consciousness.

By the time Zeta took Qingxuan and the others back to town, it was already evening. Qingxuan and Sean were once again settled in the medical center for treatment.

The operation ended in complete failure. Zeta and Tu Yu both went out to capture Luo Yi, but not only did they fail to capture him, they also left Qing Xuan in a coma.

"We can't go on like this. We know absolutely nothing about Luo Yi. We haven't been able to figure out his magic, the monsters he controls, or his motives after several encounters!"

"This isn't your fault, Yaohui. You don't need to worry too much about that madman. You've already helped everyone a lot!"

"But this is far from enough. If we don't get rid of Luo Yi as soon as possible, more things like this will happen! I have to find out something tonight!"

After leaving the medical center, Haruki seemed rather agitated. A-Kyu wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say. She was also uneasy about the lurking crisis and, having witnessed the monster that defeated Tsuchimiya, felt extremely uneasy about the negative magical energy emanating from that monster.

"That monster is called Tsuchikage, one of the earth-controlling monsters in this area. That's what Luo Yi told me and Qingxuan."

Sean rushed out of the hospital and arrived at Yaohui and Ajiu's side, who were still at the hospital entrance. He was also very wary of Luo Yi's danger and did not want to spend the rest of his time in the hospital bed.

"Sean, your injury?"

"It's nothing, just a superficial wound, and the anesthesia on the arrow has worn off. I'm in good condition now."

After calming himself down and confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, Sean leaned closer to Yaohui and whispered what was going to happen next.

"Luo Yi angered Qingxuan by mentioning the matter between the Tsuchikage and Minister Ye, and I felt that he didn't seem to be lying at the time. If you want to know more about the Tsuchikage, then I think you should ask Minister Ye properly, Haruki."

Upon receiving the clue, Haruki immediately took A-Kyu to the Mage Guild, leaving Sean at the medical facility to care for Ao-Gen. As night fell, most of the town's houses had turned off their lights, leaving only a few buildings associated with the Mage Guild still lit up. Haruki easily reached the guild's location.

"Do you really think Minister Ye will tell you the truth, Haruki? After all, the Tsuchikage turning into a monster is definitely related to Minister Ye. What if he's worried about that and refuses to tell the truth?"

"No, Ajiu, Minister Ye would never lie about Qingxuan. Perhaps Mr. Ye is not a responsible leader, but at least he wants to be a good father."
