Legend versus legend, Hyper Zetton versus Ultraman Saga.
Such a peak showdown would undoubtedly capture the attention of the vast majority of viewers across the infinite multiverse.
Even though everyone had already guessed the final winner, they were still filled with curiosity about the process of the battle.
After all, it was no exaggeration to say that even their King would find it difficult to defeat Ultraman Saga.
"So this is Ultraman Saga? The warrior of legend? An existence on the same level as Noa and Ultraman King?"
"So Ultraman Saga is an Ultra Warrior born from the three-in-one fusion of Zero, Dyna, and Cosmos?"
"It's probably not that simple. Don't forget the change in the bracelet on Zero's wrist. I strongly suspect that Ultraman Saga's appearance is closely related to the bracelet Noa gave him."
On the light curtain's bullet chat, Ultraman Saga's appearance stunned the audience. After all, his identity and power were on full display, his strength absolutely unquestionable.
Moreover, speaking of Ultra fusions, the New Generation's Reiga and Mebius Infinity are incredibly powerful fusion Ultras, but compared to Saga, their performances fall far short.
But with a little thought, it becomes clear why.
As everyone knows, the Aegis of Palagye is a divine artifact bestowed upon Ultraman Zero by Noa. Cosmos, by approximation, is half of Legend. Dyna may be a bit weaker, but he is the light of miracles from a distant, separate universe. The fusion of these three is what can trigger a miracle, what can bring about the birth of Ultraman Saga.
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Is Noa really that much of a playmaker? He's been central to everything from the beginning, and even the props he gives to the protagonists are this outrageous."
Detective Conan: "Anything connected to Ultraman Noa is never simple, even if it's just a simple bracelet."
Utaha Kasumigaoka: "Still, Ultraman Saga is a far cry from Noa. Hyper Zetton might not even last a single blow against Noa, yet it can fight Saga to a fifty-fifty stalemate."
The Bishop of Destiny: "To be precise, it's more like sixty-forty. Ultraman Saga has a clear advantage and has consistently maintained the upper hand in their exchanges. Without external factors, victory is just a matter of time."
Aizen: "However, time is precisely what the Ultras lack the most. The Swarm King is escaping, and the Land of Light doesn't have the capacity to muster such a force again. If they let the Swarm King get away, all the planning and effort of the Land of Light up to this point will have been for naught."
Upon learning that Saga's birth was related to the Aegis of Palagye, the viewers outside the light curtain immediately fell silent. They attributed Saga's birth to Noa's absurd power; after all, the name "Noa" was thunderously famous, a word that symbolized the unsolvable, a word that symbolized pure class.

[On the light curtain, the battle between Hyper Zetton and Ultraman Saga continued.]
After falling into a disadvantage, Hyper Zetton flapped its wings and flew to the skies above the battlefield.
Saga followed close behind. Good and evil, light and darkness—the two forces collided continuously in the starry sky. Each attack seemed to tear the very universe apart, as two arcs of light bit and tore at each other in the void of space.
Countless young Ultra Warriors gazed with reverence at the Ultra who symbolized miracles. He was like a ray of light emerging from the depths of despair, illuminating the future of the entire cosmos.
Hyper Zetton and Saga separated after a clash, their energies seemingly matched.
However, it was clear to any discerning eye that the situation was now obvious. The defeat of the Swarm and Hyper Zetton was merely a matter of time.
After a brief standoff, Saga took the initiative. His body, like a flash of blue light, weaved through Hyper Zetton's scorching flames. The cutting beam in his hand slashed straight for Hyper Zetton's head.
But Hyper Zetton was no pushover. The yellow, light-emitting organ on its face condensed a violent dark energy, and countless black fireballs shot toward Saga.
Possessing the same cooldown-free spatial abilities as Hyper Zetton, Saga dodged with ease. He quickly adjusted his posture, raised his left hand, and threw a light wheel.
However, Hyper Zetton simply opened an absorption storm as if it were eating, swallowing the entire light wheel and immediately reflecting a beam of ultra-high energy.
Ultraman Saga acted decisively, once again using a plasma wave to collide with Hyper Zetton's beam.
The resulting explosion directly impacted the entire battlefield. Countless Swarm insects lost their lives in the aftershock, and even the Ultra Warriors were not unscathed. Aside from a few immensely powerful Ultras, the rest of the ordinary warriors were sent flying by the shockwave, taking a long while to recover.
This wouldn't do. The battle between these two gods was too heaven-defying. As spectators, they were far too easily affected.
The eldest of the Ultra Brothers, Zoffy, thought this from within Mebius Infinity. But the scene that followed once again refreshed the Ultra Warriors' understanding of the Swarm.
Tens of thousands of Swarm insects were annihilated in the shockwave of the beam clash, but... in just a few short seconds, the surviving insects devoured the bodies of their own kind, and then, in an instant, bred a new wave of insects that doubled their previous numbers!
The Swarm's breeding speed had never been this exaggerated before. Could it be because they had gone berserk?
Before the Ultra Warriors could react, the Swarm charged headlong toward Ultraman Saga.
Evidently, even though the Swarm lacked high intelligence, they still knew who posed the greatest threat to them.
Once Ultraman Saga was dead, the Swarm, with Hyper Zetton at its disposal, would be invincible. Annihilating the Land of Light would be absolutely no problem.
In the starry sky, Hyper Zetton's body shot through the galaxy like a cannonball. The shockwave generated by its immense speed shattered the surrounding floating meteorites.
It was beginning to feel it. The powerful energy contained within Ultraman Saga was no weaker than its own, perhaps even faintly superior. Normal methods would be completely insufficient to defeat him.
But it didn't matter. As a member of the Swarm, the Swarm Emperor Tayzzyronth had granted Hyper Zetton the highest authority over its kind. In other words, if Hyper Zetton wished it, the entire Swarm would fight for it.
Although Ultraman Saga paid no mind to the frenzied Swarm, their existence was indeed enough to change the tide of battle, and was indeed enough to hinder Ultraman Saga.

Sushang: "Just the aftershocks of their battle can shatter a whole bunch of bugs..."
"Ace Pilot of the Death Squad": "I feel like the fight between Ultraman Saga and Hyper Zetton is on a completely different dimension from normal Ultra and monster battles."
The Yellow Flash: "A battle that completely surpasses comprehension... At the same size, even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, I couldn't keep up with their movements spatially. I couldn't even manage a single step..."
Across the infinite multiverse, countless viewers felt a cold sweat run down their spines.
This was no longer a time for complaining about these two monstrous beings. No one would be willing to encounter either Hyper Zetton or Ultraman Saga.
Of course, for many Ultra Warriors, a monster as terrifying and despair-inducing as Hyper Zetton was best left unborn forever. They were not Ultraman Saga; facing Hyper Zetton, even someone with the fighting power of Father of Ultra wouldn't last long.
At the same time, for monsters and evil aliens, Ultraman Saga was like a nightmare. The Ultra race was already absurdly powerful, with their immense racial talent and strength, and with top-tier masters like Ultraman King and Noa watching their backs. Now, another legendary warrior had appeared. How were others supposed to compete?

Light Curtain Bullet Chat
Super Scientist Ah Guang: "I have to say, from a purely biotech perspective, Alien Bat is truly terrifying. If he had more time, Hyper Zetton's power might have reached even greater heights."
Detective Conan: "To have such great ability, but to use it all on a crooked path... What a waste..."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Being killed by his own creation, I suppose he paid the price. Fortunately, Hyper Zetton wasn't born somewhere else. Otherwise, who knows how much slaughter it would have caused..."
---o---
[On the light curtain, Ultraman Saga and Hyper Zetton remained in a stalemate, making it difficult to determine a winner anytime soon.]
A battle this fierce seemed to allow no room for anyone else to intervene.
However... a long time had passed. The Swarm King had likely already escaped the surveillance range of the Land of Light.
Regardless of the final outcome of this battle, the Ultra Warriors had already lost. A living Swarm King was a threat to the entire universe. They had failed to contain it within the Land of Light.
"First, we completely eliminate Hyper Zetton! There must be another way to hunt down the Swarm King's location!"
"Although our power makes it difficult to participate in this terrifying conflict, we must... we must also help Ultraman Saga in our own way!"
The voices of the Ultra Warriors rang out one after another. They were warriors, and they were supposed to fight on the battlefield until the very end.
As soon as their voices fell, Mebius Infinity and Ultraman Reiga charged toward the boundless Swarm.
An intense light bloomed from their bodies. Amidst the Swarm, they were like gods of death, bringing death and silence to the newly born insects.
"Leave this to me, Reiga! Go help Ultraman Saga!"
Mebius Infinity's voice echoed in Ultraman Reiga's ears. Although Reiga was a New Generation, it was clear that his comprehensive combat ability far surpassed that of Mebius Infinity. He was one of the very few Ultras qualified to intervene in the battle between Ultraman Saga and Hyper Zetton.
"Understood, Mebius-senpai!"
As the representative of the New Generation, Ultraman Reiga nodded at Mebius, then flew into the starry sky, firing a beam toward Hyper Zetton's body.
An opening!
There was definitely an opening!
Who was Ultraman Reiga? This naturally didn't need much introduction!
Although the viewers of the infinite multiverse knew very little about the specific circumstances of the New Generation Ultras—one could even say they knew nothing at all.
But Ultraman Reiga's strength was no lie. This warrior was a fusion of more than ten Ultra Warriors, including six Ultimate Ultras. With such fighting power, it was no wonder Noa had to specifically use his power over spacetime to pull him into this era.
Still, Reiga's fighting power was immense, but he had lost to Hyper Zetton before. By casually intervening in the battle between Ultraman Saga and Hyper Zetton, would he really not be a hindrance?
Voices of doubt gradually appeared in the light curtain's bullet chat, but Ultraman Reiga quickly put all those people in their place.
Amidst the high-intensity battle between Ultraman Saga and Hyper Zetton, a continuous series of explosions echoed through the cosmos. And just then, Hyper Zetton's body was suddenly struck by a beam ability. A binding light tightly ensnared its body.
"Zetton...!"
Dishonorable! A sneak attack!
If Hyper Zetton could speak, it would definitely say this. Although it had also ordered the Swarm to attack Ultraman Saga, the Swarm had been intercepted by Mebius Infinity and the other Ultra Warriors.
That was a failed sneak attack. But Ultraman Reiga was different. He had truly been dishonorable, launching a sneak attack from behind on this monster that was not even a day old.
However, even with Ultraman Reiga's sneak attack, Hyper Zetton was still not that easy to deal with. It saw in an instant that Saga's target was its wings, so it quickly broke free from the binding and blocked Ultraman Saga's light blade with both hands.
Without the foolish Alien Bat as its pilot, Hyper Zetton's reaction speed was much faster. Simple stuns were of little use against it.
However... at this level of battle, even a tiny mistake is often fatal.
Although Hyper Zetton avoided having its wings torn off, it failed to stop Ultraman Saga's next move.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ultraman Saga's light blade pierced through Hyper Zetton's torso like a cutting machine, releasing numerous dark particles that symbolized its blood.
Afterward, Ultraman Saga pressed his advantage. His fists, wreathed in intense light, smashed into Hyper Zetton's face again and again!
Each heavy blow left irreparable damage on those dangerous yellow organs.
Hyper Zetton was utterly enraged. It instantly condensed a massive fireball, an attack containing enough energy to ignite an entire solar system.
In the face of Hyper Zetton's giant fireball, Ultraman Saga opened a defensive barrier and actually managed to block the attack.
Then, Saga's body accelerated through the cosmos. The aura on his right fist grew thicker with each passing moment, reaching a terrifying level with the added velocity.
[Finally, the ultimate punch, infused with all of Ultraman Saga's power, struck Hyper Zetton's head. The immense energy caused Hyper Zetton's body to collapse instantly, exploding in the starry sky and giving birth to a splendid spark.]
