Superdimensional निर्णायक Battle: Ultra Dimensional Combat! (5)
Author's Note:
Sorry, I'm a bit exhausted... I originally wanted to have a proper celebration... but with 99% of it being battle scenes, I was already feeling the strain after writing just over 20,000 words...
"Garnet Buster!"
Wearing the Ultimate Armor, Zero unleashed his strongest attack, the Strong Corona Mode, but it only managed to create a few sparks on Arc Belial's body.
Arc Belial grinned, revealing his massive jaws, and scoffed, "What's wrong, Zero? Is that all the power you've got?!"
In the distance, Zero, who was holding the fully charged Shield of Baraji and preparing to shoot him, Composite Zero: "Of course not~ Since we're going to recreate the scene from back then, this is naturally indispensable!"
Young Zero and Xiaoguang in the audience silently ate a handful of popcorn. Who doesn't have a clone skill? The clone can restrain and confuse the enemy's vision, while the main body charges up and unleashes its ultimate move in the dark. Isn't that basic operation?
No way, no way, there can't be anyone who simply uses clones to gang up on others, or who doesn't even know how to use clones at all, right?
What are you looking at, Keiwa? I'm talking about you, you idiot who's turned the Ninja Buckle into a blank canvas!
The Space-Time Holy Armor bestowed by Noah transformed into an arrow of light and shot out. Its powerful force destroyed Arc Belial the moment it hit him, and his true form escaped from the flames of the explosion, appearing completely unharmed.
"Not bad, Zero, you're much stronger than you were back then." Belial steadied himself and sincerely praised him. These two old rivals had fought for so many years, and unknowingly developed a certain friendship, with a strong sense of mutual respect.
"Hmph, of course!" Zero snorted proudly, glanced at the temporarily cooled Ultimate Bracelet, and focused his gaze on Belial, getting into a fighting stance ready to face a new round of battle.
The transformation ends in 12 minutes.
Heads: Belial Doro, Arc Belial.
Timer status: Blue (energy full).
(Of course, once they leave that awful place called Earth, Ultraman's active time can be extended indefinitely!)
"However, I am no longer the Belial I once was!" Belial changed the subject, and a blank capsule the size of an Earthling's palm appeared in his hand. A dark red unidentified substance flew out from the fire of Arc Belial's explosion and poured into the blank capsule, revealing the form of Arc Belial.
Upon seeing this, Belial's lips curled up slightly. He used his mind to retrieve the Maga-Orochi Capsule from his body, activated it together with the Arc Belial Capsule, filled it into the fist, scanned it with the Geed Riser, and then pressed the trigger.
"Arc Belial! Maga-Orochi!"
Polymerization Rise!
Two streams of genes, one purple and one white, surged within the Geed Riser, Polymerization into a new color, accompanied by a terrifying and eerie sound effect:
Ultraman Belial! Maga-Beastification Belial!
A ferocious-looking behemoth landed heavily on the ground. Four fleshy wings covered with blue spikes extended from its back. Each of its thick limbs had a mocking face that seemed ready to open its mouth and devour any enemy in front of it at any moment. Belial's signature purple timer was on its chest. Its powerful tail was strong and powerful. Its astonishing head had long horns and spikes. Its entire body was covered with dark red shoulder armor.
Belial Fusion Beast Maga-Beastification Belial has arrived!
Zero was shocked. "Holy crap, this form isn't just something that exists in arcades... The important thing is, how am I supposed to fight now?!"
Xing, in the cockpit, looked at Young Zero and reached out to ask for the cheat. Since the other side has new toys, you can't possibly not even have some old toys, right?
"I want to play Infinite Zero~" The girl's bright eyes were full of pleading. Young Zero almost bleed from her cuteness. He handed her the Zeta Riser and three Ultra Medal. "You can play that later. First, try out the Zeta Riser Hikari gave me as a replacement!"
"Huh, are these the only three?" Xing glanced at them, utterly disappointed.
"Oh, there were originally many more. Hikari even wanted me to use the result of the Polymerization and sublimation of my medals with Dyna and Cosmos on the spot, but a monster rampage suddenly occurred in the universe, so I just grabbed three medals to fight." Young Zero said casually, not noticing that Sachi and Xiaoguang were silently clenching their fists.
"Are you an idiot, Zero-senpai?!" The two punched him from the left and right. Zero was completely dumbfounded. What's going on? Why are they hitting me for no reason?
In the real world Maga-Beastification Belial, admired his new form, glanced at Zero with a smug look, and beckoned to him with a finger. "Come on, Zero, let me see what new toys you have!"
Inside the cockpit, Sachi activated the Zeta Riser, entering a transformation space where one second outside meant one minute inside. A Zero Light Card with her image on it appeared in a stream of light, and Sachi grabbed it and put it into the Riser.
Luck! Access Granted!
"Isn't it Luming...? Never mind, let me think about how to describe this form." Sachi looked at the three Ultra Medal in her hand and thought for a second.
"The Light of Legacy, the Storm Blade!"
Fortunately, the three Ultra Medal were placed into the sublimator and scanned in sequence:
"A face full of pectoral muscles, covered in sulfuric acid!"
"Ultraman!" (First Generation!)"
"The jeep driver!"
Seven!
"Director of the Meat Processing Plant in the Land of Light!"
Ace!
Young Zero's true form appeared behind the girl, clutching his stomach and laughing uncontrollably. "Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter, this little girl really knows how to name things... Hey, is it done yet?"
Young Zero coughed seriously, then spread his arms wide like his apprentice and shouted, "Come on, little sister, call out my name and pull the trigger of the Zeta Riser!"
He nodded, raised the Riser high, pulled the trigger, and shouted, "The strongest new generation of the Land of Light — Ultraman Zero!"
"Little sister, you flatter me... why are you speaking such blunt truths?"
Xiaoguang glanced at the smug Young Zero beside him and thought to himself that this senior was really easy to please.
"Ultraman Zero Gran Saberd!"
(Please imagine the opening theme of "Ultraman Zero" here; the author personally thinks it's quite good.)
In the real world, Belial looked at Zero in his new form, roared excitedly, and stepped forward to stand beside him. The battlefield was filled with the Extinction Breath that shattered everything and the Storm Blade that pierced through everything.
After a few rounds of back-and-forth fighting, the two distanced themselves and began exchanging compliments:
"To be able to unleash the power of those washed-up old guys to this extent, you truly live up to your reputation."
"Heh, you're not bad either. You've actually taken your alienated form to a new level. You truly are my nemesis."
The Alien Empera on the sidelines, watching the drama unfold, exclaimed, "Can you guys fight properly? Stop destroying our house!"
Belial gave a sinister laugh and switched to his Polymerization and sublimated form.
"Emperor Alien! Dark Lugiel!"
Polymerization and sublimation!
Ultraman Belial - Belial Atrocious!
Belial's black and red body was covered with a layer of gray and white armor, making his overall appearance sharper and more distinctive, and his aura even more terrifying.
Emperor, who was wreaking havoc in the Land of Light, suddenly felt a sudden weakness, and Lugiel, who was fighting the Ginga, also felt weak.
Note: Due to the time-space chaos, the Alien Empera is no longer needed to travel through time to revive people; all previously defeated enemies have been resurrected.
Zero, not to be outdone, also switched forms.
Inside the cockpit, Yukimichi happily took out the New Generation Alpha and Beta capsules, then attached the New Zero Glasses to the Geed Riser, saying, "Come on, it's time for you to pay your debts~"
"Go for it, little sister! We have no limits!" Young Zero, in the audience, threw down his popcorn box and shouted encouragement, then turned to Xiaoguang, who had an empty popcorn box on her head, and whispered, "Don't tell Ren Zheng about this..."
Note: Zero can usually only transform into Infinite Form when he has a human host.
Ultraman Zero: Infinite Form!
The phantoms of four new generation Ultraman Warrior — Ginga, Victory, X, and Orb—merged into Zero's body, his body color changed to a mix of silver and purple, his head crests became four, and crystal decorations appeared on his timer, head, and limbs, making his aura ethereal and sacred.
Zero Twin Sword, returned to his hand as two separate weapons, clashing fiercely with the Ultimate Battler in Belial Atrocious's hands.
Without the Strium organ and the energy boost from the King of Ultra, Belial Atrocious did not suppress Infinite Zero as he did when he first appeared. Instead, he was gradually overwhelmed by the increasingly powerful Belial. After taking another hit from the Eightfold Destruction Ray, Belial retreated several steps and then used the Atrocious Hell Claw to knock Zero back.
"As expected, Zero... To fight you, I must unleash even greater power!" Belial underwent a second Polymerization and sublimation under his Extreme Evil form, evolving into the even stronger Blue Fox Belial.
Young Zero in the audience, scoffed, "Tch, it's just dyeing the color, how strong can it be?"
In the cockpit, Xing decisively asked him for permission to activate Shining Zero, and incidentally added another layer of Ultimate Armor on top of Shining Infinite Zero.
Ultimate Shining Infinity Zero! Here I come!
(It's like endlessly nesting dolls.)
After defeating Blue Arc Belial with all his might, Zero was also exhausted. Just as the Alien Empera was about to finish him off, a pitch-black Ultraman Warrior unexpectedly visited the place.
Red eyes, a Y-shaped timer on his chest... Zaki has arrived.
He smelled Noah's scent, aimed at Zero, and unleashed Zagi Hellfire.
With a single strike, the planet and its entire race of the Alien Empera were wiped out.
So who was it that wanted to kill Noah alone in the first place?
In that annihilated void, a silver giant stood opposite Zagi.
The stronger the light, the stronger the shadow will be; but conversely, wherever there is darkness, there will always be light.
Stone Wing saved Sachi from Zagi's attack, and Nexus's light was transferred to her.
However, due to incomplete adaptation, he became Nexst.
Zaki didn't rush to make a move immediately, but instead released The One.
The clash between light and shadow is a process of constant evolution for both.
—Author's Note—
Ahem, the next order is Nexus → Mebius → Ginga → X → Orb →?
We've been fighting non-stop, and putting aside how you guys find it, I'm almost sick of writing it myself... So I'll save the full fight scene from this prank episode for later in the main story, releasing it in segments through Sachi's memories, dreams, and other means. It wouldn't be good to release all the big juicy details at once!
——Back to the main content——
Having gone through countless battles, and having transformed into countless Ultraman Warriors, she collapsed, exhausted, on a dilapidated street on Earth after merging with the new Ultraman and sending Zetton away.
The arrival of Yefu, Gilbaris, and Hyper Zetton (the First Generation) has dealt a severe blow to human civilization. However, it doesn't matter; once this world collision ends, everything will return to normal.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard the roar of a monster coming from afar, "Hey, who's coming this time? Hurry up, I'm done resting."
She waited, waiting for another ray of light to come to her, but this time, the new light was slow to arrive.
"What's going on? Why? Why isn't it there?"
Happiness was perplexed, but the monster was already closing in, wantonly destroying the last remaining human city and slaughtering the last survivors, including...
The communication with Kiana and the others had just been established, and before she could even feel relieved, the roar of the monster came from the other end, shattering all her illusions.
The phone fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The girl stared blankly at the giant shadow in the distance that was wreaking havoc. Countless images flashed through her mind, but in the end, they all lingered on the interrupted call.
Endless shadows surged from beneath his feet, enveloping the boy and rapidly expanding.
The unknown monster excitedly toppled another building, and as it danced with glee, it suddenly felt darkness fall over its head. Just as it raised its head, a gaping maw snapped down, swallowing half of its body whole, leaving only its bleeding lower half behind.
The angry roars echoed through the remaining human cities, sounding both like a catharsis and a lament.
Postscript--
The boy, who had transformed back into a male in a fit of extreme anger and Artificial Honkai Eruption, sat on a shiny chair with a disgruntled expression. The table in front of him was filled with various delicacies, while the young man at the other end of the table had a forced smile on his face.
"Sorry, my colleague from the Honkai side, I didn't know you were a newbie. I overslept and forgot to report for duty during this World Collision event, which resulted in you taking down all the monsters that spawned by yourself..."
"Get the hell out of here, don't bother me while I'm eating!" Enraged beyond measure, Xing threw a fork at him. The Native Order Emissary of the Ultra Branch World could only smile awkwardly, serving him his plate while enduring his furious roars.
"Damn it, how dare you say that? I don't know what kind of battles you've been through, but I'm super, super angry right now!!!"
"Do you know how many monsters I've fought? From the Showa era to the Heisei, and from the Heisei to the Reiwa era, damn it, I've basically fought every single monster with any strength!!! Oh, and some more than once!!!"
"Other Ultras are just human hosts, but I'm a human host who's an Ultra! Damn it, now I understand why other Ultras keep running to me during battles. They're worried that my current Ultra form will die of exhaustion and won't be able to continue fighting, so they're thoughtfully switching me to Tokusatsu Machine, right? Listen to me, thank you!"
"Although I can meet different Ultraman Warrior and form bonds with them, isn't the price I paid too heavy?"
After giving Ultraman's colleague a good scolding, Yuki felt refreshed and much more relaxed. The Ultraman world's messenger helplessly wiped the drool off his face. "Sigh, it was my fault this time. You can scold me all you want. But did you interfere with an Ultraman who was possessing you?"
Xing stopped holding the fork and took out a diamond-shaped blue crystal from her collar. "Hey, you're going to interfere with things like exchanging gifts?"
He scratched his head in distress, closed his eyes as if observing something, and after a while, opened his eyes under Xing's puzzled gaze. "Never mind, the story of Ultraman Trigger, named Xiaoguang, will not change because of a slight change you have made to him. I acquiesce to this level of interference."
Seeing Xing's increasingly puzzled expression, he walked to Xing's side, leaned close to his ear, and whispered Xiaoguang's ending.
Bang!!!
Powerful fists, brimming with the boy's overflowing anger, struck his face again and again. He did not resist, letting Xing punch and kick him.
"So, a newcomer is just a newcomer. After you experience a few more events, you'll understand that some predetermined outcomes cannot be changed. We are Order Emissary, and we can only obey the world's order, not change it."
Divine Messenger Rule #1: When not on a mission, Native Order Emissary is no different from an ordinary person and can interfere with the world line they inhabit using their own will, but is not affected by the World Will. If a Divine Messenger dies during this period, a new Divine Messenger will take their place.
