A Zetton cocoon?
So, is Zetton also an insect? Its title is clearly "Space Dinosaur."
But the race of Zetton wasn't the main concern right now. For the audience outside the light curtain, the most important thing was what Alien Bat was planning.
It was common knowledge that Alien Bat was no small fry. Although his reputation was a fair bit lower than the likes of Alien Empera, Alien Empire, and Alien Babar, his ambition to rule the universe was no less than any of them. And now, possessing the Space Dinosaur, he had the qualifications to try.
[Light Curtain Commentary]
[Yukino Yukinoshita: Space Dinosaur Zetton? What does that mean? Does Alien Bat intend to use Zetton to conquer the universe? That seems a bit too far-fetched.]
To be honest, Yukino was a bit confused by Alien Bat's thinking. It wasn't that they looked down on Zetton; the Space Dinosaur was indeed powerful. But to think it could single-handedly face the entire roster of overpowered Ultra Warriors and a cosmos-threatening Swarm Disaster was a bit of a stretch.
[Utaha Kasumigaoka: Now that they know how difficult the Ultras are to deal with, every alien wants to wipe out the Land of Light and rule the universe. Can't they have a slightly higher ambition?]
[Detective Conan: Honestly, at this point, I doubt the light curtain would feature a mere clown just for a brief shot. There must be something special about this Zetton that Alien Bat has.]
The strongest Zetton that had appeared on the light curtain so far was the EX Zetton raised by Ultraman King. That was the most powerful Zetton Conan had ever seen.
But even that Zetton would have just become food in the sea of insects.
[Zoffy with the Big Manly Pectorals: That Zetton... it gives me a strange feeling. It's dangerous!!]
Unlike ordinary people like Conan, the original Ultraman felt a fatal threat the moment he saw the Zetton cocoon.
Unpleasant memories began to surface in his mind, but he had no time to dwell on such history now.
This Zetton... it was still just a cocoon, yet it was already this terrifying. If it were to hatch, the consequences would be unimaginable.
[Super Scientist Ah Guang: Alien Bat... when did he start raising this Zetton? How much resentment and darkness did that cocoon devour to emit such a horrifying aura?]
In his laboratory in the Land of Light, Hikari rapidly analyzed the potential power of the Zetton after it hatched, but the final answer he got was... immeasurable.
This sent a jolt through his heart. Even the most advanced technology of the Land of Light couldn't measure it. Didn't that mean... that the biological weapon Alien Bat called Hyper Zetton had already surpassed the Land of Light in power?
[Alien Bat: Hahaha, tremble, Ultras! You've discovered the terrifying power hidden within Hyper Zetton, haven't you?]
Seeing himself appear on the light curtain, Alien Bat was ecstatic. Hyper Zetton was his life's work. To be recognized by the light curtain—there was nothing better in the world.
[Alien Zetton: Why? This doesn't make sense! Why is it Alien Bat and not an Alien Zetton?! We Zettonians are the ones who understand Zetton best!!]
Somewhere in the universe, a one-eyed Alien Zetton was clutching its head and crying, as if something important had been stolen from it, its head feeling heavy with grief.
---o---
[On the light curtain, while Hyper Zetton's cocoon was frantically devouring Swarm corpses and monsters from other dimensions, the Swarm King, Tayzzyronth, had appeared in the vicinity of the Land of Light.]
Staring at the beautiful planet before it, the Swarm King said nothing—not that It could speak anyway.
Its gaze pierced through the atmosphere of the Land of Light, passed through the Plasma Spark Tower, and landed directly on the Sacred Light.
The aura emanating from that beam of light immediately captivated the Swarm King, its eyes revealing a look of intense craving.
Ever since the core of the Plasma Spark Tower was stolen by Belial, many more warriors had been stationed around it. The Land of Light's security system had been upgraded as a result.
Just as the Swarm King was staring dumbly at the Land of Light, the Ultra Warriors in the midst of battle noticed something was wrong.
"That's... an insect? When did It get here?!"
Mebius Infinity clasped his hands together, releasing a powerful ray of light from the Mebius Brace on his arm, defeating all the insects around him before appearing in front of the Swarm King.
"This insect is..."
Seeing Tayzzyronth's form, the Ultra Brothers were all shocked!
This insect was the Swarm King they had been searching for!
"Mebius, that's the Swarm King! It's exactly as the information described!"
"Stop It! We absolutely cannot let the Swarm King get near the Land of Light!"
The voices of his brothers echoed in his ears. Mebius Infinity nodded, then crossed his fists in front of his Color Timer, unleashing a violent beam in an attempt to drive the Swarm King away.
Who would have thought that the Swarm King not only didn't dodge but flew right into it, using its own massive elytra to completely shatter Mebius's beam!
At the same time, a wave of disgusting, bizarre, and anxious negative emotions and statuses converged, making Mebius feel a sudden wave of dizziness.
This wave of negative emotion and status, with the Swarm King at its center, spread out in all directions like a halo.
Its radius was measured in light-years, and its speed of diffusion was incredibly fast. Looking up from the Land of Light, one could see the Swarm King's dark red energy pulsating like a doomsday symphony, roaring like the last rays of a dying sun.
At this rate, in less than half an hour, the entire star system where the Land of Light was located would be engulfed by this power, and under the immense power of the Swarm King's Path, all life would be corrupted into insectoid monsters.
At that time, aside from a few powerful Ultra Warriors who could remain immune, all other life in the star system would be turned into the Swarm King's children, becoming one of the countless members of the Swarm.
Clearly, this was a conceptual authority that belonged solely to the Swarm King. As It gradually adapted to this universe, Its abilities also grew stronger.
Far away in the Land of Light, Hikari saw this and quickly sent out a message to all the Ultra Warriors on the battlefield.
Half an hour. If they couldn't deal with the Swarm King or use special means to stop it within half an hour, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Cosmic Miracle Ray!!"
The negative status effect lasted less than two seconds on Mebius Infinity before he broke free. Knowing that ordinary attacks were useless against the Swarm King, Mebius didn't hold back in the slightest, immediately unleashing the tremendously powerful Cosmic Miracle Ray.
As one of the strongest beam techniques in the universe, even the Swarm King had to temporarily evade its edge, dodging to the side.
At the same time, numerous other Ultra Warriors swarmed in. However, given the Swarm King's power, ordinary Ultra Warriors couldn't even get close. They could only provide covering fire for Mebius Infinity from a distance.
As for the New Generation Heroes, after entering their ultimate forms, their power was on par with Mebius Infinity. They quickly helped Mebius Infinity surround the Swarm King completely.
"Before Its concept completely spreads, we must kill It!" Ultraman Taiga said with an ugly expression. The Swarm King truly acted without any regard for the consequences, intending to turn all life in an entire universe into insects with a single move.
"There's no other way! We have to use that form, Taiga!!"
As the eldest brother of the New Generation, Ultraman Ginga appeared before Taiga, his face grim as he spoke.
The Swarm King's power was on the same level as Ultraman King's. Even with the addition of the New Generation, they could hardly make a dent, let alone defeat it within half an hour.
But... as long as they entered that state, as long as they reached that form, even if they couldn't defeat the Swarm King in half an hour, they could definitely suppress the spread of its concept!! ]
---o---
What's this? Do the New Generation Ultra Warriors have another trick up their sleeves?
Across the infinite-dimensional universe, when the audience outside the light curtain saw this scene, their gazes immediately sharpened.
Are they about to bring out their trump card?
As expected, Ultraman Noa didn't just summon a bunch of ordinary fighters from the future for no reason. These New Generation Heroes truly had the ability to change the tide of battle!
The New Generation Ultras were clearly aware that the Swarm King's power was on par with Ultraman King's. Yet, they were still confident. This meant... this final form even surpassed Ultimate Shining Zero!
[The Uchiha Dancer: Is another form on the level of Ultraman King about to appear? This is getting more and more interesting. They're already in their ultimate forms, aren't they? Don't tell me there's another level above that?]
In the world of Naruto, Madara Uchiha spoke with intrigue. Weren't these New Generation Ultra Warriors already in their ultimate forms? Why was there another one?
Could it be that they, like Zero, had two ultimate forms, and could even fuse them?
[Light Curtain Commentary]
[Yukino Yukinoshita: That form... what kind of form is it? Although the New Generation Ultra Warriors are not weak, facing the Swarm King right off the bat... that's a bit like a newborn calf not fearing a tiger.]
[Time Spirit: The final form of the New Generation Ultra Warriors... even if it's stronger, it probably hasn't reached the level of Ultraman King. Besides, the Swarm King is fundamentally difficult to kill. Trying to solve this in half an hour is truly a difficult task.]
[Utaha Kasumigaoka: You can't say that. The Swarm King is like a phantom, appearing and disappearing without a trace. If they can pin It down here, that in itself is a great contribution to this battle! What's more... as long as the Swarm King is in a state of combat, It will have a hard time focusing on controlling Its authority...]
[Detective Conan: Anything can happen to an Ultra Warrior. It's not strange at all.]
---o---
[On the light curtain, Ultraman Ginga took the lead as he and the other Ultras—Victory, X, Orb, Geed, Rosso, Blu, Grigio, Taiga, Titas, and Fuma—formed a circle.]
[A full eleven Ultra Warriors standing together—the scene was, needless to say, incredibly awe-inspiring.]
[Then, a dazzling light began to shine from the bodies of the eleven New Generation Heroes, a light that seemed capable of tearing everything apart.]
[The forms of the eleven Ultra Warriors began to change. Then... the figures of Ginga Victory, X Beta Spark Armor, Orb Trinity, Geed Ultimate Final, Grob, and Taiga Tri-Strium gradually appeared.]
[After entering their ultimate forms, the light did not fade. Instead, it grew even more intense. The five Ultimate Ultras, excluding Taiga Tri-Strium, dissolved into motes of radiant light and converged upon the horns of Taiga Tri-Strium!]
"HRAAAAAAAH—!!"
[With Taiga's roar, the light reached its peak. Its limitless radiance instantly illuminated the entire universe. Born from the combination of the New Generation Heroes, the number one Ultra below the Mysterious Four, the strongest Ultimate Ultra—Ultraman Reiga was born!!]
[Golden chest armor. Stripes of silver, black, and red interwoven. Two horns pointing towards the sky, carrying a youthful yet powerful aura.]
[The trajectory of light on his body surpassed that of any Ultra Warrior before him. Only Ultraman King and Noa could surpass him in this regard.]
[The Swarm King looked at the newly appeared Ultra Warrior, and its heart couldn't help but be shocked.]
[On Ultraman Reiga's body, It saw the aura of the Aeons who had previously conquered It. Terrifying. In the Swarm King's eyes, this light was too startling, too terrifying!!]
[After Ultraman Reiga appeared, the frenzied Swarm suddenly stopped its attack. They all fixed their gazes on Ultraman Reiga, as if stunned by the powerful light emanating from his body.]
[Then, after a brief pause of a few seconds, the Swarm completely ignored the ordinary Ultra Warriors blocking their path and swarmed desperately towards Reiga!]
[This was clearly the Swarm King's command. It was unwilling to face Reiga head-on, so it manipulated the Swarm to attack him instead.]
[But Reiga simply clenched a single fist and gathered power towards the sky. Countless particles of light gathered on his arm, releasing a powerful aura and energy.]
[BOOM!!!]
[With a single punch, just the shockwave alone sent all the insects that tried to get close to Reiga crashing down.]
[Not only that, this move, which seemed like an AOE attack, actually had a target-locking function. The Ultra Warriors submerged in the Swarm tide were completely unharmed!]
[Whether in terms of power or energy control, Ultraman Reiga had reached an unbelievably powerful level.]
[Then, the stars in the cosmos glittered, and lightning flashed. After a dazzling display of special effects, Ultraman Reiga's figure appeared swiftly in front of the Swarm King, and he threw a punch.]
[An almost berserk energy of light poured out, directly sending the Swarm King flying.]
[This was the first time the Ultra Warriors had dealt substantial damage to the Swarm King's body!]
