Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

"I'll go stop that monster. You guys keep an eye on Luo Yi and don't let him get away!"

"Leave one team here to keep watch, everyone else get moving and quickly lead the townspeople to evacuate."

The monsters' direct invasion left no room for hesitation. Haruki and Zeta immediately went out to transform and fight the monsters, while Minister Ye directed the guild members to take action and minimize the losses as much as possible.

Haruki ran forward, his body radiating light particles. He passed through the Z-shaped barrier, transformed into Zeta, and flew into the air. He rushed to the location where the shadows gathered and launched the first attack. His flying kick, imbued with light energy, broke through the air and entered the fray, but it failed to cause any damage and passed directly through the shadows' bodies.

The shadowy figure was invisible and could not speak. Upon seeing Zeta approach, it instinctively launched an attack, with several black fireballs appearing and floating in the air, firing one after another at Zeta's location in a series of attacks.

Primal Zeta concentrated his energy above his head, and the multiple attacks from his head-mounted shuriken neutralized all the fireballs. Then, he launched a surprise attack with his light shuriken, hitting the shadowy figure again and shattering part of its form.

"Still not going to materialize? Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Haruki activated the purple chip of the Yuugi Pure Crystal, and the Ultra Medal responded. Zeta transformed into Gamma Future Form, turned around, and entered the arena, raising his hand to gather freezing energy and firing it towards the top of the shadowy figure's head.

The shadowy figure initially thought the beam was aimed at it and tried to defend itself, but upon discovering that it wasn't directed at it, it didn't think much of it and even considered continuing its attack. However, before it could move much, it found its body gradually being frozen.

Gamma Future borrowed Ultraman Tiga's energy to unleash a blue-light ice explosion, spreading out in the air and releasing a large amount of cold air to perform a freezing attack, completely freezing the monster that existed in the form of a black shadow. Finally, it stood in front of Zeta as a blurry humanoid ice sculpture.

"Is that all the skill you have? But how did a monster that relies solely on savage action manage to severely injure Tsuchiya twice? Or does Luo Yi know Tsuchiya's weakness, which is why the Tsuchikage can counter Tsuchiya?"

Haruki froze the shadowy figure, temporarily relieving the danger, but Haruki was not at ease. His long combat experience made him feel that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.

"Yaohui, something seems off about that dark figure."

Zeta's reminder brought Haruki back to his senses. Zeta had already taken a defensive stance facing the shadowy figure. The shadowy figure in the ice block revealed a red color, and the ice around it began to melt and degrade. The shadowy figure took the opportunity to charge around, but the weakened ice block was no match for the monster's resistance.

Finally, red energy erupted from the monster's entire body, breaking through the ice block and sending the shadow flying into the air. As it solidified, it left behind a large amount of smoke as it flew. Finally, the shadow dissipated upon landing, revealing the monster's true form.

"Tsuchikage! How is this possible? Isn't this monster the Tsuchikage? How come it looks so much like Tsuchikage!"

It has the same blocky body, but this monster is entirely black. Unlike the yellow runes of the Earth Guardian, this monster has dark red stripes on its body and a retractable arm on its left hand. However, the orange-red lava symbol on it makes Zeta feel that it is more aggressive than the Earth Guardian.

"Oh no! If this monster isn't the Tsuchikage, then the captain is in danger!"

By the time Haruki realized he had fallen into a trap, it was too late to go back and provide support. The monster's flame-breathing punch was already coming. Zeta dodged the punch but missed. Then the monster charged forward, its body emitting heat as it rushed straight at Zeta.

The distant clashes shook the room, while the interrogation room remained quiet and peaceful. Luo Yi sat in his seat, scrutinizing the handcuffs on his hands, seemingly unfazed by the flames and noise outside.

Minister Ye could no longer tolerate Luo Yi's indifferent attitude. All the destruction was caused by him, everyone's suffering was caused by him, and the guild and he himself would bear all the consequences. Moreover, his son had been seriously injured and hospitalized multiple times because of him.

Unable to tolerate Luo Yi's unrepentant attitude, Minister Ye rushed into the interrogation room and slammed his fists on the table in front of Luo Yi, immediately questioning him loudly.

"You'd better stop the monster from causing any more destruction right now! Otherwise, I have the right and the responsibility to use extreme measures against you, and you brought this on yourself! Listen carefully, I have no patience for you!"

"Wow, so this is how you ask for favors? This is completely different from what I knew before, Minister?"

Minister Ye kicked Luo Yilian and his chair over, then grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall. The light in the room shook violently. The people outside the interrogation room all turned their backs to the room, following the previous rule of not asking any questions.

"Haha, I understand you're impatient with me, Mr. Ye, but my attitude towards you is completely the opposite. I'm very patient. I've been waiting a long time to see what you're really like."

"You'd better still be able to laugh later!"

Minister Ye threw Luo Yi to the ground and slammed him against the corner of the wall. He clenched his fists and imbued them with magical energy. His eyes were fixed on Luo Yi's position, determined to take some special measures.

"Minister, the situation has changed! It's Tsuchimori... Tsuchimori is attacking the Hero!"

"What? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Such an unbelievable report immediately dispelled all of Minister Ye's hopes, because he simply did not believe that Qingxuan would attack a hero.

Filled with doubt, Minister Ye hurriedly went out to investigate. The battle in the distance was indeed as he had been told: a monster that looked like Tsuchiya was charging towards Zeta. However, due to the limitations of human eyesight, Minister Ye could not see the monster's true appearance. But based on his experience, Minister Ye was certain that this matter was related to Luo Yi.

After slamming the door open again, Minister Ye became even angrier than before. Luo Yi stood up and was about to sit down, not caring about what was happening outside; he just wanted to sit down in peace.

"Can you speak properly this time, Minister? Or do you want to keep changing the subject?"

"I'm giving you one last chance to stop that monster! Don't think that letting it impersonate Tsuchimuri will allow you to defeat the Hero. Your future depends on your performance this time!"

Minister Ye took the rune from his subordinate and aimed it at Luo Yi's head. The magic circle on it began to charge, emitting red flames. It was a complete threat, not just a scare tactic as before.

"Coercion and bribery work well for humans, but Minister Ye, are you out of your mind? Do you really think this tactic will work against monsters?"

"I think you're just a monster in human skin!"

Minister Ye raised his hand and made a move. Suddenly, the black shadow beneath the ground surged violently, overturning the entire interrogation room. The Mage Guild was smashed to pieces by a force from underground. But this was not the end. The black aura of the Earth Shadow emerged again, raising its claws to smash the remaining building debris. Luo Yi was brought out by the Earth Shadow, and the shackles on his body were easily cut by the black aura.

All the people in the interrogation room emerged from underground. The Tsuchikage used Earth Release to bring them out as instructed by Luo Yi, but that didn't mean he would let them go.

Minister Ye's men were all half-buried in the ground, completely motionless like a pile of radishes. Minister Ye was sent flying by the earth-escape technique and crashed heavily to the ground. At this moment, Luo Yi walked over and looked down at Minister Ye lying on the ground.

"Now you're happy, Mr. Ye. You didn't want to talk to a human like me properly, did you? Then talk to the Tsuchikage, that monster, and see if your eloquence, which helped you climb to the ministerial position, can persuade the Tsuchikage to let you go?"
