As Long as Hope Remains, the Light Will Never Disappear!

"You see that statue? It looks like Ultraman Dyna."

"It really does..."

"No! That is Ultraman Dyna, isn't it?!"

More and more people noticed the statue in the corner of the Sky Screen.

The people of Douluo Continent, who had just witnessed the fierce battle between Alien Empera and the two Ultra Warriors, still remembered it vividly.

How could they not recognize Ultraman Dyna?

So it didn't take long for someone to confirm that the statue really was Ultraman Dyna.

As for why Ultraman Dyna had turned to stone, the answer was right before their eyes.

The culprit was the enormous cocoon.

It still looked as though it was only developing, yet it had managed to defeat an Ultra Warrior who could travel between universes and had withstood Belial's attacks without his color timer even flashing red.

To think that he had been defeated by a mere cocoon and turned into a statue.

They could hardly imagine how powerful the monster would be once it emerged from the cocoon.

No wonder that mysterious voice had summoned the powerful Ultra Warriors Ultraman Zero and Ultraman Cosmos.

Those two really were the only ones with such strength.

Everyone continued watching the Sky Screen.

They learned that the Earth Defense Team of this universe had gone to deal with the cocoon and never returned.

Even Ultraman Dyna had run out of energy beneath the cocoon's assault and turned to stone.

The boy had also suffered a devastating blow after witnessing Ultraman Dyna's defeat, which was why he had stopped speaking.

[After enduring Alien Bat's assault, which was like the end of the world, Taiga Nozomu finally agreed to transform into an Ultra Warrior. Together with Musashi, he carried this universe's hopes as they set out to deal with Alien Bat.]

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue became more and more engrossed.

They knew this was an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. Even Ultraman Zero and Ultraman Cosmos, fighting together, couldn't defeat it.

In the end, an Ultra Warrior from among the Mysterious Four Ultras would appear.

But Gu Yuena found it hard to understand. In her view, Ultraman Zero was already strong enough.

And Ultraman Cosmos was a monster whose strength was downright outrageous.

If two legendary Ultra Warriors joined forces, then even if they couldn't deal with the cocoon, surely they could at least wound it and drive it back?

Most of the people of Douluo Continent thought the same way.

That was, until the two Ultra Warriors arrived at the place where the cocoon was incubating.

There, they encountered the monster larva that had already emerged from its cocoon.

At the same time, the Sky Screen began displaying information about the monster larva.

[Legendary Hyper Zetton (Juvenile)]

[Height: 300 meters]

[Weight: 300,000 tons]

Only when the information appeared did the people of Douluo Continent realize just how enormous this monster called Hyper Zetton was.

Even the Ultra Warriors, who stood dozens of meters tall, looked like dolls beside it.

Most important of all was the word "Juvenile" displayed above.

"Does that mean it still isn't fully grown, even after emerging from the cocoon?" Bibi Dong asked.

Xiao Che nodded in agreement.

"At this stage, Hyper Zetton is still one stage away from its complete form. It's merely an initial form, born from absorbing the despair of half a universe."

The three women were shocked.

The size of the universe had been brought up many times before.

They understood its scale all too well.

And yet this monster had absorbed the despair of half a universe and was still only a juvenile.

But Qian Renxue raised her hand, voicing another question.

"Sir, I remember that the Zetton Aliens were the ones who developed Zetton, right? But Alien Bat has created Zetton too, and even optimized and upgraded it. Does that mean the Zetton Aliens really didn't die? Or did they leave behind their legacy?"

Xiao Che smiled faintly and shook his head.

"What did I tell you before? The Zetton Aliens don't understand Zetton at all. Put it this way: apart from the original Zetton, nearly every enhanced form of Zetton was created by Alien Bat."

Those words made Alien Bat seem far more threatening in their eyes.

He had nearly surpassed Alien Empera.

Though that was only because they still hadn't seen the complete form of Legendary Hyper Zetton.

The three of them turned their attention back to the Sky Screen. The two Ultra Warriors had already launched their attack on the Hyper Zetton Larva.

[The Hyper Zetton Larva unleashed a barrage of Trillion-Degree Fireballs.]

[The two Ultra Warriors easily dodged them and closed in.]

[After a backflip, Ultraman Zero launched the two Eye Sluggers from his head at the Hyper Zetton Larva, but its two forelegs blocked them.]

[Ultraman Cosmos leapt into the air, energy gathering in his right hand, and attacked from the Hyper Zetton Larva's blind spot.]

[The attack struck the Hyper Zetton Larva's left eye, and it let out a pained howl.]

[After the explosion, the Hyper Zetton Larva's left eye was destroyed.]

[Even Alien Bat looked surprised.]

[Alien Bat: "What?!"]

At a spot outside Spirit Hall,

Bi Ji stared at the Sky Screen and shouted excitedly,

"My lord is so cool! As expected of you, my lord!"

Di Tian and Ice Empress could only sigh helplessly as they watched her.

Since they were out in public, Ice Empress urged Bi Ji to show some restraint.

"Bi Ji, we're in public, after all. It wouldn't be good if people saw you acting like this and spread the word."

They were here representing the Soul Beasts to pledge their allegiance.

Keeping their behavior in check was important.

But Bi Ji carried on regardless.

Di Tian could only shake his head helplessly. He had given up trying to stop her.

But then, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

[The injured Hyper Zetton Larva suddenly grew two enormous scythes from its body.]

[Ultraman Cosmos was completely unprepared for the unexpected attack.]

[He took the blow head-on, then was sent flying into a stone wall and collapsed, unable to get back up.]

[The Hyper Zetton Larva followed up with several more fireballs, and Ultraman Cosmos was knocked unconscious by falling rocks.]

Yet many people couldn't make sense of what they were seeing.

"Ultraman Cosmos, where's your Corona Mode?!"

"His color timer hasn't even turned red yet! Why's Ultraman Cosmos pretending to be asleep?!"

"No wonder they call him the master of slacking. So that's why!"

"Only Ultraman Zero's giving it his all."

[Ultraman Zero joined his Eye Sluggers together and charged into battle against the Hyper Zetton Larva, keeping it from finishing off Ultraman Cosmos.]

[But alone, Ultraman Zero couldn't even break through the Hyper Zetton Larva's defenses.]

[Ultraman Zero gradually ran out of strength and was knocked to the ground. From then on, the fight became one-sided.]

[Not far away, the boy Xiao Wu was searching for something, shovel in hand.]

[Ultraman Zero was distracted by the two of them and took a hit, but he still lured the Hyper Zetton Larva away from them.]

[Just as falling rocks were about to hit the two, the big sister piloting the mech appeared.]

The people of Douluo Continent had no idea what the silent little boy was trying to do.

He was only getting in the Ultra Warriors' way!

But Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes, sensing something.

She remembered that the boy had witnessed the defeat of Dyna, hailed as their last hope, and then kept searching outside for something.

Zhu Zhuqing understood.

"He... he's looking for the light—the light called Ultraman Dyna!"

Ning Rongrong, standing beside her, looked puzzled.

"But hasn't Ultraman Dyna already turned to stone?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. It was only an instinctive guess, but she answered without hesitation:

"No. As long as hope remains, the light will never disappear. The Ultra Warriors will one day shine again!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a faint glimmer appeared on the Sky Screen's previously murky image.

It was Xiao Wu!

He had found the light!
