Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

The shadowy figure descended, its giant claws tearing through the ground. Its eyes gleamed as it stared directly at its mortal enemies below. The earthen shadow unleashed its oppressive aura, advancing forward and further destroying the surrounding dilapidated buildings.

Minister Ye fell to the ground in a panic and disorientation. He tried to get up but his steps were unsteady and he fell backward. Terrified, he wanted to escape the monster's attack. His body and mind were on the verge of chaos and he could not think normally. Minister Ye could only instinctively run away, not caring about his disheveled state.

Once again, Luo Yi used Earth Release: Earth Shadow to pull Minister Ye over and slam him to the ground under the Earth Shadow's claws. Minister Ye tried to make a move, but the Earth Shadow blocked his path with its claws.

Luo Yi emerged from the shadowy figure's protection and stood before the fallen Minister Ye. He waved for Tsuchikage to leave temporarily, as he wanted to spend some time alone with Minister Ye.

Seeing Minister Ye's shameful and filthy appearance, Tsuchikage felt a sense of satisfaction and decided not to argue with Luo Yi any further. He proceeded with the previous plan and left to prepare for his funeral.

"What's wrong, Mr. Ye? Weren't you very arrogant when we were alone before? Where did that air of authority go? Didn't you ask me for a favor? Let's continue our discussion."

"You're a madman, you monster!"

Seeing that Minister Ye was still stubbornly refusing to talk back, Luo Yi simply gave up on communicating with him. He glanced at him, then stepped on Minister Ye's face, pinning him to the ground. He bent down and continued to apply pressure, intending to deliver the final announcement.

"A madman? Hmph, the madman you despise is now trampling you underfoot, and you can't do anything to resist. You can only watch helplessly as the monster you think of destroys everything you cherish!"

Your methods will only harm kind people from beginning to end. Against true ruthlessness and justice, you're nothing but a coward who begs for mercy! Nobody cares about the fate of someone like you.

Luo Yi kicked Minister Ye away, pondering what to do with the guy next—whether to hang him on the tower or bury him halfway down the cliff. Luo Yi was quite curious whether anyone would genuinely come to save Minister Ye after seeing him end up like that.

"Why don't you decide your own fate? Do you want to publicly expose your past crimes yourself, or do you want me to bury you and plaster the walls around you with your past deeds?"

Why don't you consider what will happen to you?

Sean crept up behind Luo Yi. He had been hiding nearby when he discovered that the Tsuchikage was disrupting the guild. As the Tsuchikage left, he approached and, with the added blessing of the earth, punched Luo Yi back several meters. Sean didn't want to hear anything more from Luo Yi.

When Minister Ye's will was at its weakest, he was verbally abused by Luo Yi, and filled with remorse, he began to repent, realizing that he had indeed hurt far too many kind people. When he saw that it was Sean who had saved him, Minister Ye was even more distressed, because he knew that Sean had also been coerced and lured by him.

"What are you doing here, Sean? Aren't you going to try and help Zeta defeat Tsuchiya?"

"I'm not going to waste any more words on you. If you're a man, fight me fair and square!"

Sean strode over, grabbed Luo Yi, lifted him up, and slammed him against a nearby tree, causing Luo Yi to wince in pain. Sean showed no mercy to Luo Yi, rushing over again to pin him down and begin throwing punches, channeling his anger from the previous blows into his fists.

Luo Yi seized the opportunity to grab Sean's wrist. Just as Sean was about to throw a punch with his other hand, he was suddenly startled and stunned when he saw what Luo Yi was holding.

It was this pause that allowed Luo Yi to summon a Shadow Arrow and pierce Sean's shoulder, then he shoved Sean away, stood up, and dusted himself off.

"Damn it! Where did you get that thing?! What did you do to Qingxuan?"

Sean endured the pain and pulled out the arrow. He knelt on the ground, his expression pained but still angry, and loudly questioned Luo Yi about the thing in his hand.

Luo Yi reached out and lightly touched the spot where he had been hit, then his eyes shifted and he regained his previous contempt. However, this time the injury on his face prevented him from making many expressions, but that did not stop him from continuing to speak.

"This? You probably already know why I have the Earth Summoning Stone. But even if I told you the reason, what then? Are you planning to keep attacking and take the summoning stone back? Even if you take it back, it doesn't mean you can use it, Sean?"

"Qingxuan? What happened to Qingxuan? Where is he now?" Minister Ye panicked even more, crawling to his feet and asking in a panic. He could accept suffering himself, but he truly regretted it when his son was implicated.

Luo Yi tossed the Earth Summoning Stone in his hand to show off, letting it reflect and shine in the sunlight. Enraged, Sean gripped a handful of soil, activated Earth Blessing again, and charged towards Luo Yi, throwing another punch.

Prepared for this, Luo Yi unleashed a Shadow Arrow to intercept, but Sean quickly dodged it and attacked Luo Yi's face with his uninjured fist.

Sean, injured, was naturally not in the same condition as before. Luo Yi bent down to dodge the fist that was blocking Sean, and activated Shadow Enhancement to send Sean flying with a palm strike.

“You’re a good person, Sean, just with a different stance than me. I won’t target you specifically, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let you stop me. I should go now. As for Mr. Ye’s punishment, I’ll leave that to you.”

A huge monster was thrown into the air and crashed into this side, rolling and destroying the ground. Dust flew up and a cloud of smoke rose up. Dark Earth was knocked to the ground by Zeta, and Zeta was finally able to come over to check the situation.

The Giant of Light descended and approached, but Luo Yi showed no signs of panic. Zeta and Haruki weren't stupid; seeing the Earth Guardian Summoning Stone in their hands, they could roughly guess what had happened.

"Hero! Please save Qingxuan! Only you can save him now!" Minister Ye turned to Zeta and pleaded for help, his words urgent and his tone imploring.

"Where is Qingxuan? I advise you not to play tricks on me, Luo Yi!" Zeta sensed the seriousness of the situation. Qingxuan's failure to appear, coupled with the earth-like monster and the loss of the earth summoning stone, all indicated that Qingxuan was in great danger.

"Wow, since the hero has spoken, I'll just say it straight. Even if you capture me now, it won't do any good. Qingxuan has already been taken away by the Tsuchikage, and if I get hurt, I can't guarantee that the Tsuchikage won't lose control."

"I'll let Qingxuan go back, but only if I want the Courage and Righteousness Crystals in exchange. That's not an unreasonable request, is it, everyone?"

Luo Yi took this opportunity to properly admire Zeta's figure. After all, this was a rare chance for the two to have a proper conversation, and Luo Yi wanted to make sure his eyes were satisfied.

"What do you mean by this? Are you going to hurt Zeta?"

"Wow, don't be so impatient, Sean. I'll give you three days to think it over. There's no need to rush to answer. During this time, I will treat Qingxuan well, although it won't be as good as the treatment his minister father gives him."

Sean's questioning did not anger Luo Yi. Luo Yi calmly spoke his mind. Dark Earth Guardian, who had been knocked down, got up again and was about to vent his anger and retaliate against Zeta when Luo Yi stopped him. He turned back into a shadow and obeyed the user's will, taking Luo Yi away from there and drifting into the distance.
