"Even the Maga Flame Demon Bomb won't work..."
It wouldn't be accurate to say it had no effect at all. Hyper Zetton's power is darkness, while Leo's burst of light was a plasma spark, which did break through her defenses and left a noticeable wound on her chest.
Hyper Zetton touched the scar on his chest, forcefully suppressing his body's tendency to repair it, and smiled in a particularly eerie way.
"I understand, Leo. This is your love for me, isn't it? If that's the case, then let me love you too!"
"I'll drag those little bitches out and make them watch me unite with you, watch me completely become one with you!"
Leo felt a chill run down his spine and his scalp tingle. Hyper Zetton was serious, and Zetton and Jet were also furious.
What a tragic fate! Leo pressed the Dark Spark against his temple, "Dark Materialization Fusion, Dark Lugiel!"
Chapter 574 Hyper Zetton's Past
It's fortunate that humans haven't left Earth yet, otherwise they would be utterly astonished by the scene before them. Hyper Zetton's attacks came like a torrential downpour, each punch possessing the power to shatter a mechanical Ultraman.
Leo, transformed into Dark Lugiel, already found it difficult to defend himself. He relied on the Dark Spark to forcibly invoke the inert Ultimate Darkness to repair his body while looking for an opportunity to retaliate.
"I'm really surprised, Leo. Is this your current body? Hmm, it does look better than before." Hyper Zetton kicked Leo away, somewhat surprised that he could withstand his attacks for so long.
"Thank you for the compliment. It seems that Reibrand is quite ugly." Leo looked at his severed arms. He had only blocked one kick and he was already like this. He was still too weak to keep up with his current condition.
"No way, I thought Leo was really cool back then too. I fantasized about him so many times," Hyper Zetton said, as if reminiscing about a wonderful time in the past.
"You spent a lot of effort creating me, and then devoted a lot of time and energy to developing me into EX Zetton and even the Hyper Zetton I am today."
"Back then, Leo, you always said you hoped I could become stronger, because only by becoming stronger would I be worthy of being called your monster."
As Hyper Zetton continued speaking, Leo gradually felt the subtle connection between himself and her, a connection that kept stirring up memories of the past in his mind.
He recalled that Zetton back then wasn't yet Hyper Zetton; she had only dared to fight a hundred men to please himself and to convince him that she had sufficient potential and strength.
It had only just been born when it killed hundreds of monsters, and even managed to kill an EX Red King at the cost of serious injury.
However, even with his half-crippled body, Zetton only received a "not bad" evaluation when he came to me, and was eventually put back into the spherical fighting device to recuperate.
Even with this treatment, Hyper Zetton was still delighted, as if Leo's words were some kind of great favor.
Not bad, not bad, okay, some progress, barely passable. Every time the person sitting on the stone throne nodded casually and indifferently, praising him in such a perfunctory tone, Jetton felt extremely excited.
But Hyper Zetton was also constantly worried. Leo craved even greater power. Although he had already defeated EX Red King before even reaching EX level, he was still far from meeting Leo's needs.
Because Zetton wanted to become stronger and stronger, she remembered how she was born from a breeding ground where countless monsters fought each other, so she learned to actively devour other monsters to grow stronger.
This allowed Zetton's strength to grow at an unprecedented speed. She quickly grew and evolved into EX Zetton, and it was at that time that Leo looked at her with a hint of joy.
“Very good, Jaden, you did a great job.”
It was from that time that Zetton realized that Leo hadn't really had high expectations for her before. Although she was one of the strongest monsters Leo controlled, she was still far inferior to Leo.
From that moment on, worry turned into anxiety. He wasn't strong enough. If Leo stopped having expectations of him, or even abandoned him as easily as he would any other monster, then...
Zetton dared not think about that future, so she desperately wanted to prove her worth, defeating, devouring, and even devouring other monsters inside the Fighting Device.
When Leo realized it, she had already formed a cocoon, and there were no monsters left in the Fighting Device except for her; tens of thousands of monsters had all become her nourishment.
Hyper Zetton knew that Leo didn't immediately realize he was devouring other monsters in the Fighting Nymph because he didn't care at all; the EX monsters were too weak in front of Leo.
When it first emerged from its cocoon, Hyper Zetton excitedly circled around Leo, showing off its new form, "Leo! Look! I'm stronger than EX now, much stronger!"
However, the expected praise did not come. Leo, still the same old Leo, simply looked him up and down before shaking his head in disappointment.
"Is this your limit, Jaden... Never mind, it was my misjudgment."
These words threw Hyper Zetton into a panic. "But Leo, I'm very strong now, my strength..."
Before she could finish speaking, a powerful psychic force sent Hyper Zetton flying. Her body pierced through three planets and crashed into a dying giant star, where it was engulfed by a supernova explosion.
"You are too weak for my body."
That's what Hyper Zetton heard back then, and it was from that moment that she understood that Leo didn't need a powerful monster; he just needed a body to contain his ever-growing spiritual body.
It was from that moment that she realized just how vast the gap was between herself and Leo at that time.
As a Reibranch, Leo was born with everything: a powerful mental force that allowed him to manipulate all the stars in the universe at will, the ability to traverse spacetime turbulence at will, and a body that rivaled Grimd's.
Leo's spirit continued to expand and grow uncontrollably, but his body was born at its peak, an ultimate and perfect physique, unable to go any further and gradually falling behind the growth of his spirit.
He controlled so many monsters only to find a more powerful body to which his spirit could reside. He did have some hope for Zetton, but ultimately rejected her.
From that day on, Hyper Zetton worked even harder to become stronger, and she became increasingly humble just to stay by Leo's side, while devouring all the monsters with great potential.
This was to make himself stronger, and also to prevent any monster from threatening his position next to Leo.
"I originally thought that even if I couldn't get your praise or become your body, at least I would stay by your side and no one would share you with me, and I wouldn't allow it."
"We've spent millions of years like this, and only I'm by your side."
The wings on Hyper Zetton's back instantly transformed into sharp spears that rushed towards Leo, grazing his waist and piercing the moon, even causing the Dark Core to curse him inwardly as a madman.
Ignoring his own injuries, after listening to Hyper Zetton's description, Leo couldn't help but curse himself for being a terrible person when he was a Reiblood, as if he had never done anything human.
It's no wonder that Hyper Zetton has been subjected to PUA for millions of years. Leo couldn't believe she was talking about his past, but his instincts told him it was all true.
Back then, Leo, as a member of the Reiblood tribe, was such a cold-blooded and ruthless ruler of the universe.
“I thought this kind of life could go on forever, which was fine, until Delacion found you.”
"That shameless bastard deceived you, making you completely abandon your original body and me!"
Chapter 575 The Deal with Delacion
All of this begins in an ancient time, so distant that no one knows it, when the universe was ruled by the Reibloodians.
The Reiblood aliens have been the darlings of the universe since their birth, possessing a body that can be called an ultimate life form and a mental power that can easily shake the entire universe.
The world believes that the Reiblood aliens can dominate the universe by relying on their powerful monster army, but little do they know that for the Reiblood aliens, the so-called monster army is nothing more than a passing fancy.
Later, he thought of cultivating a powerful monster to prepare a body that could accommodate his consciousness, so that his physical body would not collapse due to his overpowered spirit.
But until Hyper Zetton appeared, Reiblood had not been able to find a suitable body and had no interest in the so-called monster army.
At the edge of the universe, in a place where no light can reach, the Reiblood alien, sitting on a colossal throne, opened his eyes.
Hyper Zetton, who was standing next to him, quickly looked away to avoid being discovered by Leo for his disrespectful behavior.
However, the next moment, Hyper Zetton understood why Leo opened his eyes and instantly entered battle mode, only to be gently pushed aside by Leo, who said, "You are no match for Him."
These words left Hyper Zetton feeling quite disappointed. She also sensed that the newcomer's power was far greater than her own, a being on par with Leo.
In the distance, a vortex of light slowly unfolded, like a fluorescent curtain spreading out at the edge of the universe. Leo rested his chin on one hand, appearing nonchalant.
"Dracion, the so-called omniscient and omnipotent prophet of the entire universe, what brings you to me?"
"If you want to fight, I'd be happy to oblige. As two of the pinnacles of the universe, I'd really like to know how big the gap is between us."
Since his birth, Reiblood has been only one step away from the legendary level, and breaking through is not a problem. However, there is still a gap between the legendary level and the likes of Ultraman King.
Of course, if he were to fight Delacion, even if it were just a slightly intense fight, this universe would certainly not be saved, but Leo, as a Reibloodian, doesn't care.
“Rebrando, I am not here to fight you, but to solve the problem that is troubling you.”
Delacion's words surprised Leo, whose eyes immediately darkened, and an immense aura pressed down on Hyper Zetton, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Haha, you truly live up to your reputation as omniscient and omnipotent. You even know this. Now, do you want to guess whether I'll kill you right here?"
“I understand that feeling very well, Leo.” Delacion showed no intention of making a move; he seemed to be confident in everything and had anticipated everything.
"I collapsed because my body could not withstand my increasingly powerful spirit, and I have become what I am now, only able to exist in the form of a spirit."
"The spirit merges with time and space. Although it can see countless futures, it cannot attain true freedom and has become part of the universe."
Upon hearing this, Leo's imposing manner gradually subsided, precisely because he was worried about this.
If his mental strength wasn't that strong, it would be better; then even if he lost his body, he could still exist as a spiritual entity.
But as time goes on, his increasingly powerful spirit will become uncontrollable, forcing him to gradually merge into the laws of the universe, just like Delacion. While this will make him stronger, it will also be a form of self-imposed constraint.
That was a result that the Reiblood aliens, including Leo, would never accept. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Tell me, what is the price?"
"You need to give up everything you have now, and keep only your spirit and your heart."
Upon hearing this, Hyper Zetton instantly became agitated. "You make it sound so easy. Who knows if you're telling the truth?"
Leo raised his hand to signal Hyper Zetton to be quiet. "Is this your idea, or the idea of the cosmic will?"
Having reached the level of Leo and his group, the cosmic will they speak of is no longer just any one universe, but the entire multiverse itself.
"Both. Your dominance has influenced the development of the universe, but if you were to become integrated into the laws of the universe, it would also lead to instability in the universe itself."
"...Okay, I believe you."
This was the most despairing sentence Hyper Zetton had ever heard. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment; it felt like her whole heart was about to shatter.
Fortunately, Leo did not forget her. He placed her on a planet and made a promise to her.
Wait for me, Jaden. One day I will come back and take you away. Until then, stay here.
Despite a very bad feeling in her heart, Hyper Zetton was unwilling to believe it. She always felt that Leo would come to pick her up, and so she waited on that planet.
The years of waiting were countless, and in the end, even Hyper Zetton could not bear the loneliness and fell into a long slumber.
"That's it!" The fireball released by Hyper Zetton from his chest collided with the Dark Universe Shock released by Leo, creating a huge explosion.
Hyper Zetton burst directly out of the explosion's flames, shattering Leo's barrier with overwhelming force and slamming him back onto the lunar surface, embedding him within it.
"That's it, Leo, that's how you abandoned me! Just because of a few words from Delacion!"
Hyper Zetton's words were filled with anger, but quickly softened, "But I won't blame you. It's not your fault, Leo. There's nothing wrong with pursuing greater power."
"I'm also trying to become stronger, so I will keep absorbing. I will never be separated from you again, Leo. Come, feel my love!"
The two pairs of wings behind him, resembling spider claws, transformed into sharp spikes and lunged at Leo, intending to devour him completely.
"Sorry, I don't really like this kind of love!" Leo stood up, and Lugoset's Spark Doll instantly superimposed on his body. Genesis Rain met the attack, interrupting Hyper Zetton's attack.
Hyper Zetton was somewhat surprised. She had seen Leo assimilate Lugoset during her last battle, but this time the Genesis Rain was much more powerful than before, and it was even able to block her attack.
“Leo, you’re stronger than before.” Hyper Zetton seemed very pleased. “You’re even more delicious to devour now, my dear master.”
“After all, I haven’t really been doing nothing all these years,” Leo wiped his mouth. “But I have to hold on a little longer…”
Seeing that Leo seemed to still have energy left, Hyper Zetton wondered whether he should use his full strength, but then he quickly thought of something and pointed in the direction of Earth, "Leo, do you care about that planet?"
"Oh no!" Leo's heart skipped a beat. Hyper Zetton, seeing this, knew he had guessed right. "It's really enviable. Does Leo even care about a planet now?"
"Leo, if I help you get rid of this guy, will you be willing to never leave me again?"
Hyper Zetton pointed to the moon, or more accurately, the Dark Core. Although its abilities are quite bizarre, the Dark Core currently doesn't possess much other powerful energy.
At best, he's only slightly stronger than Dark Maga Orochi and the others; he's no match for Hyper Zetton, and might not even be able to defeat Leo. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to help Hyper Zetton break the seal.
The Dark Core is now filled with regret. She originally thought that Hyper Zetton was chasing after Leo because she resented Leo for abandoning her back then.
Who would have thought that this guy was not only a pure yandere, but also a Leo fanatic, capable of doing anything to completely unite with Leo.
What's so special about this guy? Even Gatanothor and Grimd seem to be particularly interested in it.
"No, I can't handle this myself. I still can't agree to your conditions."
Leo would definitely refuse; judging from Gatanothor and Grimd's attitudes, he was practically a boon to these monsters.
If he were to be devoured by Hyper Zetton, who knows how much he would grow because of Leo.
"Then there's no other way, Leo. I'll just have to devour you and this planet together!"
Chapter 576 Hyper Zetton's Twisted World
The atmosphere seemed off. Eiji Tsuburaya, who was walking with Tetsuo Kinjo along the shore of Lake Ryusei, keenly sensed this; it was just too quiet around them.
Although everyone was a little down because Leo was leaving, Ultra Q was about to wrap up filming, so things would get lively again.
But why is it so quiet all around, to the point that you can't even hear the chirping of insects on a summer night? Where is the sound of the waves? And where is Leo?
"Director Tsuburaya, what is it that you said you wanted to show me?" Tetsuo Kinjo asked curiously. The two of them had been chatting for a while, and after Director Tsuburaya showed him Ultraman Planet, he said there was something else he wanted to see, so he brought him to Lake Ryusei.
"It wasn't me, to be precise, it was Seven who wanted to show it to you." Even though he said that, Tsuburaya Productions also felt that something was amiss. Leo couldn't possibly be hiding it from you.
Just as Tetsuo Kinjo and Mr. Tsuburaya were filled with doubt, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out, "Mr. Tsuburaya, Kinjo, what are you two doing here?"
As for the people, Tetsuo Kinjo subconsciously looked around, but saw nothing until he saw Tsuburaya Productions looking up at the sky. Only then did he look up and see King Joe floating in the sky.
