In a dark world with no distinction between top and bottom, a lonely figure floated in it. I don't know how much time passed, whether it was a second or a year. This lonely figure suddenly opened his eyes and looked blankly at the endless darkness around him. He couldn't see anything but himself except the black.
Kouji Kabuto felt a flash of emptiness in his heart, but the faint singing in his ears instantly replaced that emptiness with stubbornness and courage. He directly clenched his fists, effortlessly controlled his body, and looked around. "Where is this? Why am I here?"
"No, I know this is a world with no end to time and space, but why do I know this?"
A flash of doubt flashed in Kouji Kabuto's eyes. Suddenly, a gentle but heavy voice sounded from all directions, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Koji..."
"Grandpa!?" Kouji Kabuto had an extremely surprised expression on his face the moment he heard the voice, but the surprise disappeared from his face the next moment and turned into caution. "No... it's not grandpa's voice. Could it be... you are the devil!?"
As the voice of Koji fell, the surrounding space did not change at all, and the voice also sounded again, "You can say yes, you can say no, I think... the possibilities are endless..."
Koji frowned. "Possibility?"
"That's right." The voice said, "Because of the guidance of Getter Ray, my consciousness has been embodied, so I can talk to you like this."
"Then who are you!" Kouji Kabuto looked around and shouted into the endless dark space, "A demon or Mazinger ZERO! No matter who you are, I have to tell you that I will never be controlled by you again!"
"Haha, you haven't understood yet, Koji... whether it's the Demon God or Mazinger ZERO, it's just my thought." The voice suddenly laughed and said, "Things that span the existence of many Parallel World, and the existence of endless possibilities, people call this powerful force that cannot be resisted the Demon God... or maybe destiny."
Kouji Kabuto was stunned for a moment. "Demon? Destiny?"
"Your grandfather Dr. Juzo Kabuto was attracted by Photon Power, stepped into the field ahead and learned of my existence, and mastered this power to control it, creating Mazinger Z, you should have noticed it... Because your inner unwillingness to be weak and your obsession with power eventually led to the emergence of Mazinger ZERO, but it was also because you were addicted to the power of the devil and your inner weakness that things became like this."
Kouji Kabuto opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer. What the voice said was absolutely right. It was precisely because of unwillingness and because he wanted to become more powerful that the Demon God felt his thoughts at that time, and evolved to give the Demon God more powerful power, turning Mazinger Z into Mazinger ZERO.
And it was also because of his obsession with Mazinger Power's power, his indulgence in that power, and because his own heart was not strong enough to control it all, that Mazinger ZERO lost control and in turn controlled him, and finally stood as an enemy of Victory Fleet.
"That man dedicated his entire life to scientific exploration, and worked with Dr. Hull to attack the power of taboos... In the end, whether you are left with a demon of World Destruction or a god with infinite power, because the final result of the changes brought about by this infinite possibility... actually depends on you."
"Another man... the man named Xiao Ran once reminded you that there is nothing wrong with the fact that only inner strength is truly powerful. In fact, it is precisely because of his unintentional actions or deliberate actions that you have been able to sustain your true fall into darkness until now. However, you did not understand the true meaning of these words before, but now you understand it is not too late."
"Tools are just tools, and power can only be power, but the person who controls this power can decide whether this power is transformed into a demon or a god. You are the one who has been given the power to be a demon, Kouji Kabuto!"
"Me!?" Kouji Kabuto was stunned at first, but soon changed into another look. His eyes were full of determination, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, you are right, I am the one who can decide all this!"
"Then are you going to succumb to me, or stand up to fight? What can determine the future from among many possibilities is human will."
"Hehe..." Kouji Kabuto gritted his teeth and grinned, and said firmly, "That goes without saying, of course I will fight you and then defeat you. I will never allow you to attack my friends, and I will never allow you to destroy our world!!!"
When Kouji Kabuto's voice fell, white light lit up from Kouji Kabuto's chest, illuminating the entire dark space, directly rendering the dead silence into light, making this space full of hope and more possibilities.
The sudden change made Kouji Kabuto couldn't help but look at his chest. "Is this!?"
"Your will creates light... which is also new power. The light that illuminates the infinite possibilities of the future covers all darkness. That is the meaning of Photon Power's existence."
Kouji Kabuto raised his eyes and looked around, but under the endless light, he still couldn't find the speaking figure, "You are helping me? But why are you helping me!?"
"I'm not helping you."
Kouji Kabuto was stunned. "What? Didn't you create this light that covers the darkness?"
"As a demon, I pursue infinite power. Rather than swallowing you, the power created by your will is what I pursue. It is a new possibility that even I, who have traveled through many worlds and destroyed everything, don't know. That power... no, it is an aggregation of power. Even I once succumbed., in the battle with the people you call friends, you who stood up against my power made me see that light, so let me see your power, Kouji Kabuto... Whether you are a god or a demon, you are both a god and a demon, it all depends on your will."
The endless light dissipated, and Kouji Kabuto once again fell into darkness.
In the real world, Getter Robo burst out with unprecedented super power. Getter Ray burst out endlessly from Getter Robo's body, turning Getter Robo into It became a sun on the ground. The endless light broke through the shackles of cause and effect, directly breaking through the Mazinger Power energy that shrouded the world, and even shone on the last remaining apostle. In the blink of an eye, the apostle was slowly melted by the endless light.
But the light that broke through everything made this world appear a more special scene, replacing the original cause and effect of Mazinger Power with an endless starry sky covering the world.
