Even with four Ultramen fighting on the battlefield, the people on the ground remained deeply uneasy.
"Gillvalis is clearly going all out to seize the Giga Finalizer,"
Zena said grimly as he watched the monsters rampaging through the city.
The Giga Finalizer—also known as Red Steel—was one of the divine artifacts.
Compared to the Giga Battlenizer, the Giga Finalizer seemed almost purpose-built for Ultraman Geed.
"Still… Tiga is seriously overwhelming,"
Moa muttered as she watched Yuzhou plow through the battlefield, Galactrons collapsing and exploding one after another.
Tiga was strong before… but not like this, right?
As Yuzhou crushed another Galactron with a single punch, he suddenly noticed Orb changing forms.
"Ultraman-san!"
"Tiga-san!"
"Lend me your Light!"
"Ultraman Orb — Spacium Zeperion Form!"
Hearing his own name being called, Yuzhou punched forward again—but this time only sent the Galactron flying instead of destroying it outright.
"…I—"
Yuzhou turned toward Orb, momentarily speechless.
So I'm standing right here, and he's borrowing my power—from me?
Yet Orb's Tiga Card clearly already contained Tiga's power.
"Tiga-senior, I want to try your strength myself!"
Orb waved enthusiastically at him.
"Fine, fine—go ahead,"
Yuzhou replied helplessly.
After all, Orb's power borrowing was always direct—he even phrased it with 'lend me'.
The red portions of Orb's body flashed with light. His physique seemed to grow slightly larger, and he launched himself forward, attacking Galactron with the same straightforward punches and kicks Yuzhou used.
Bang! Boom!
Under Glitter Orb's assault, the Galactron was driven back repeatedly, sparks bursting across its armour.
Yuzhou shook his head and continued clearing Galactrons elsewhere.
One steel giant after another collapsed beneath his blows.
Geed and Zero had already taken down many as well.
Orb, empowered by Glitter Form's new output, was smashing Galactrons so hard their metal frames rang like hammered iron.
As Yuzhou advanced toward the next target, he extended his right hand and grasped the air.
A pitch-black staff streaked with faint blue light materialized in his grip.
"Ah?! That is—!"
Airu cried out from the ground.
"Wait… that's—!"
Laiha gasped.
"That's Belial's weapon—the Giga Battlenizer,"
Juggler said quietly, eyes narrowed.
"This Tiga… is anything but simple."
He had long heard rumours—how Tiga had crushed Belial in the Land of Light, and later purified him on this very Earth.
But to think that the Giga Battlenizer—shattered under Geed's attack long ago—would reappear in Tiga's hands.
"That was my father's weapon!"
Geed exclaimed in shock.
Back when Belial had not yet returned to his true self, Geed had personally destroyed the Giga Battlenizer.
Yet here it was—again.
"The Giga Battlenizer?!"
Zero stared in disbelief.
"Tiga—you can use that?"
Ordinarily, only those with Reiblood lineage could wield it.
And Tiga had no connection to that bloodline.
"Yes," Yuzhou nodded calmly.
"I'm just using it as a regular stick."
In his current Light form, the Battlenizer's functions—capturing, summoning, and releasing monsters—were unusable.
But nothing stopped him from swinging it.
"Oh…"
Orb stared blankly.
Wasn't Tiga-senior's weapon supposed to be a frying pan?
Did he change weapons?
Yuzhou said nothing and charged forward.
Galactron fired barrage after barrage of destructive beams.
Yuzhou swung the Giga Battlenizer, smashing each beam apart as he advanced step by step.
BOOM!
With no flourish whatsoever, he raised the Battlenizer high and brought it down.
The Galactron collapsed instantly, its eyes going dark, its body twitching mechanically.
Before it could explode, Yuzhou leapt into the air and landed atop another Galactron—
Crack!
Shatter!
Its head shattered into fragments that rained onto the ground.
"Is that really Belial's weapon?!"
Pega exclaimed.
"I never saw Belial use it this effectively!"
"The Giga Battlenizer is a divine artifact on par with Red Steel," Airu said softly, lost in memory.
"It represents the pinnacle of Kushia Civilization technology."
"They were once weapons meant to safeguard the universe."
"Well, Tiga sure looks comfortable using it," RE.M. chuckled honestly.
"Comfortable or not—every Galactron's been wiped out,"
Laiha said, pointing toward the battlefield.
Indeed, not a single Galactron remained standing.
"Now only their leader is left,"
Zero said, looking up at the red data-net filling the sky.
"Yes. Let's go."
Yuzhou nodded and took the lead, flying toward the crimson data field.
Orb, Geed, and Zero followed without hesitation.
Upon entering the red data-net, Yuzhou felt space itself invert.
After a brief adjustment, he landed upon ground that looked like a ruined world rendered in data.
The land was bathed in blood-red light.
Fires of war burned endlessly.
Looking at the shattered structures around him, Yuzhou understood—
This was the interior of Planet Kushia.
Geed, Orb, and Zero soon landed beside him.
Boom!
As if answering their arrival, a massive mechanical pillar slammed into the ground before them, scattering debris.
"So this is Gillvalis," Orb said cautiously.
"Looks like it," Zero replied, fists clenched.
Geed examined the enormous steel pillar carefully.
Aside from the excessive mechanical components, it looked… surprisingly ordinary.
The pillar began to rotate.
Its crimson gem-like core turned toward them—and lit up.
