This universe is vast, and Ultra Warriors are not found solely on Earth.

On the distant Orion, there are also swarms of Ultra Warriors. As an invading alien, Alien Reicuran considers himself quite well-traveled.

He has witnessed many Ultra Warriors on various planets, though back then he was merely a spectator, mocking the stupidity of those invaders. Now, however, he stands face-to-face with one himself.

Had he known this planet possessed an Ultra Warrior, he never would have invaded. Although Ultra Warriors vary in strength, looking at those muscles that seemed cast from steel and a physique even taller than his own, Alien Reicuran felt he was likely no match.

He was certain he would be beaten to a pulp in a head-on confrontation.

His already trembling legs shook even more violently, and he hurriedly waved his hands. "A misunderstanding! It's all just a misunderstanding!"

"A misunderstanding? You say it's a misunderstanding, so it is?" Jostar had no intention of reasoning with him.

He slammed his fists together in front of his chest, sparking brilliant flames. Bathed in the glow of these sparks, he slowly closed in on Alien Reicuran.

The diamond-shaped eyes and that arrogant gait made Alien Reicuran feel as though he hadn't encountered an Ultra Warrior, but rather the captain of a space pirate ship.

Given Jostar's appearance, Alien Reicuran felt the opponent wasn't the type to talk things out. He wanted to flee the planet, but without his spaceship, escape was impossible. For him, only one chance remained.

That was to defeat this Ultra Warrior.

His hands continued to wave frantically. "It's a misunderstanding!"

With a sudden twist of his flailing wrists, he launched three fireballs that resembled molten lava.

Caught off guard, Jostar made no move to dodge, instead puffing out his massive pectoral muscles to tank the light orbs. The impact triggered a massive explosion of fire and smoke, enveloping Jostar entirely.

"Hahahaha, still so foolish! No matter which planet they are on, Ultra Warriors are always so easy to deceive." Alien Reicuran laughed heartily, his hands continuously attacking the heart of the flames.

He was driven to this behavior solely by fear—fear of those Ultra Warriors.

The splashing flames and black smoke intensified, nearly engulfing the surrounding forest.

The sounds of the projected light orbs exploding were continuous, and each vertical bombardment only caused the red light on Alien Reicuran's body to flicker with increasing speed.

Daigo, who had retreated to a distance with Munakata and the others, saw this and, fearing Jostar might meet with an accident, prepared to transform when no one was looking.

Just as he took a small step back, two brilliant, fire-red light wheels sliced through the flames and thick fog.

Jostar's unscientifically muscular body, dragging a long shadow at an incredible speed, stood right in front of Alien Reicuran, his hands falling from above.

Unlike his previous punching stance, he now gripped a rotating light wheel in each hand.

"Die, you bastard!"

"Aaaaaaah~!" The moment the light wheels made contact with Alien Reicuran, he let out a shriek like a slaughtered pig.

His sturdy head barely withstood the "pleasure" of being dismembered by the Ultra Slash.

Alien Reicuran's wild, boar-like struggling caused Jostar's strike to shift slightly, sliding from his head down to the sides of his body.

Amidst the surging flames and the screeching sound of cutting, two heavy thuds hitting the ground drew the attention of Munakata and the others.

Munakata's eyes widened to the size of copper bells. "That is!"

The massive limbs were Alien Reicuran's arms; the neatly severed wounds were charred black, with no blood flowing out.

The intense pain robbed Alien Reicuran of the ability to think. He wanted to clutch the agonizing areas, but the loss of his arms left him only able to slowly crouch down.

"Alien, this planet is not a place for you to run wild."

Jostar's knee, burning with crimson flames, slammed into Alien Reicuran's head, which was flashing red frantically. The heavy blow and the resulting shockwave sent Alien Reicuran flying backward.

Having lost his arms, Alien Reicuran finally understood the gap between himself and this Ultra Warrior. He kicked his legs, struggling to stabilize his flight in mid-air.

The physical pain caused Alien Reicuran's voice to crack, and with a heavy tremor, he began to beg while still in the air: "Spare me! I'll never dare to invade this planet again!"

Jostar's eyes flashed with even colder light. "You still dare to think about a next time?"

Jostar, who had been half-crouched, leaped up like a launched rocket, his entire body burning as he rapidly closed the distance to Alien Reicuran.

Seeing that brute who started fighting without a word, Alien Reicuran almost blurted out some colorful language, but he clamped his mouth shut in terror.

As the ground rushed toward him, the Ultra Warrior's trapezius muscles bulged, and the pitch-black patterns on his body looked like those of a demon, making Alien Reicuran shiver; that posture was definitely going to be a beautiful uppercut.

Faced with that menacing Ultra Warrior who looked ready to tear him in two at the slightest provocation, he wouldn't have the courage to fight him even if he were given ten times the guts.

Alien Reicuran didn't even dare to look back, fleeing in a panic toward the edge of the atmosphere.

The fact that many giant alien races exist does not mean they don't require oxygen. Even though his race was one that needed to breathe, he was too terrified to think clearly.

Faced with Alien Reicuran, who had fled without a fight, Jostar had no choice but to abandon the punching technique he had just learned from Ace for punching holes in people's bodies.

His body shuddered, sending ripples through the air, leaving behind only a crimson afterimage.

The father and daughter who had flown a wide circle in the GUTS Wing 1 and returned stared at each other, speechless for a moment.

With the flight speed of the GUTS Wing 1, they couldn't catch up to these two at all.

That demon was still closing in!

Alien Reicuran squeezed out every ounce of his strength, yet the distance between them only grew smaller.

Just as he was thinking that this was "not very Ultra-like," a Lambda Beam struck his back with precision.

Alien Reicuran, who was already struggling to maintain flight, plummeted. In his final moments of vision, the brilliant stream of light growing larger was the last thing he saw.

As the Over Ray Schtrom was slowly injected, Alien Reicuran gradually turned into particles of light scattering in the sky.

Jostar, however, still felt a bit unsatisfied.

This alien was too weak.

Since I got a recommendation, I thought I'd double-update to grind a bit—please, give me some votes!
