The fleeing, glowing red sphere abruptly pushed its speed to the absolute limit.
As a top-tier artificial intelligence, Gillvalis understood perfectly well that if it did not escape now, it would never again have the chance to "protect cosmic peace."
But in the very next instant, Gillvalis felt its body seized by a massive hand blazing with golden light. Its consciousness scattered—and vanished.
With a single squeeze, Yuzhou crushed the red sphere that was Gillvalis. He dusted off his hands and returned to where Geed and the others were standing.
A boss that, in the original storyline, required a gruelling battle to defeat had now been eliminated by Yuzhou with effortless ease.
Outside Earth's atmosphere, the members of the Ultimate Zero Force—Mirror Knight and the others—watched as the red data that had blanketed the planet's surface began to tremble violently.
"This is…?"
Before Glenfire could even process what was happening, the red data broke apart into countless particles and dispersed into the depths of space.
"Did we… succeed?!"
Jean-Bot stared at the scene in disbelief.
How much time had even passed?
The seal of the virtual planet Kushia had already been shattered?
In other words—Gillvalis had been destroyed just like that?
"Yes. It's over."
Jean-Nine nodded as she spoke.
"That's amazing! Zero-chan really is incredible!"
Glenfire cheered, calling Zero by his familiar nickname.
Floating silently outside Earth, Belial crossed his arms and observed everything without a word.
As long as his son was safe—that was enough.
"Lord Belial."
Fukuide Kei, piloting a small spacecraft, approached Belial and spoke respectfully.
"What is it?"
Belial turned his gaze away from Earth and toward him.
"The replica Plasma Spark has been completed," Fukuide Kei reported.
"Although it cannot compare to the Plasma Spark of the Land of Light, it is more than sufficient to replenish light energy on the Moon at any time."
"Please take a look, Lord Belial."
As Fukuide Kei gestured toward the Moon, Belial followed his gaze.
Sure enough, the Moon had become completely different from what it once was.
Silver-white radiance now flooded its surface.
Originally, only half the Moon was illuminated by sunlight—but now, the entire globe shone brilliantly, as if bathed in perpetual daylight.
Because it lacked the unique crystalline structures of the Land of Light, it did not possess the same aesthetic beauty—but the glow itself was unmistakable.
"Very good."
Belial nodded.
This replica Plasma Spark finally put one of his long-standing obsessions to rest.
Long ago, in the Land of Light, he had gone mad in pursuit of the Plasma Spark's overwhelming power—only to fall into darkness because of it.
Now, Belial understood.
The Plasma Spark was, at its core, a product of technology.
If technology advanced far enough, recreating such a miracle was not impossible.
Of course, he knew that a replica could never truly rival the original Plasma Spark of the Land of Light.
But something capable of supplying light energy was already more than sufficient.
"Look—the Moon!"
Mirror Knight and the others noticed it as well.
The entire Moon now glowed with brilliance, standing out strikingly within the Milky Way.
"Wasn't the Moon supposed to be barren?"
Jean-Bot scratched his head in confusion.
"How did it suddenly become this bright?"
As the red data network vanished completely, Yuzhou and the others descended back to the ground.
Countless red particles returned to Earth's surface. The people and buildings that had disappeared reappeared in their original locations.
Fortunately, everyone was alive.
News broadcasts erupted across the planet, announcing the victory.
Every report praised the Ultra Warriors for saving humanity—saving Earth.
People who had just been restored to existence cheered and celebrated across the globe.
Far away, light-years from Earth, at the headquarters of the Space Garrison in the Land of Light, numerous Ultras had gathered.
Ultraman, Zoffy, Seven, the Father of Ultra, and the Mother of Ultra.
These core figures of the Space Garrison were using the Father of Ultra's Eye of Insight to observe Earth.
On a virtual screen, the dissolution of the virtual planet Kushia played repeatedly.
It had been the Father of Ultra who ordered Zoffy to send an Ultra Sign to Zero—only then did Zero lead the Ultimate Zero Force to Earth.
"Zero, Geed, Orb… and Tiga as well."
Zoffy spoke with satisfaction.
"They did an excellent job."
When he mentioned Tiga, he paused briefly.
First, because Tiga had no direct connection to the Land of Light.
Second, in terms of seniority, Tiga was not a New Generation Ultra.
And third—his age.
In another dimensional universe, Tiga had been active on Earth thirty million years ago.
"It seems Geed has truly grown into a warrior capable of standing on his own,"
the Mother of Ultra said warmly as she watched the screen.
The Father of Ultra turned slightly toward her, then spoke after a moment's thought:
"Geed is indeed a warrior upon whom the future can be entrusted. However, because of Belial, he does not wish to have much contact with the Land of Light."
"But Zero seems to be on very good terms with him,"
Seven added from the side.
"And there's also Tiga," Ultraman suddenly said.
"Earth was completely sealed by Gillvalis using the virtual planet Kushia—yet Tiga still managed to enter?"
"When did he get onto Earth?"
"We didn't notice at the time," the Father of Ultra shook his head.
"Our attention was focused entirely on Gillvalis' movements."
"But…"
He continued slowly, "Tiga's power has grown far stronger than when we first encountered him."
"Wait."
The Father of Ultra's Eye of Insight suddenly locked onto a luminous celestial body beyond Earth.
He immediately transmitted the image to the screen.
"That is… Plasma Spark energy!"
The Father of Ultra pointed at the glowing sphere in shock.
"What?!"
Zoffy stared intently at the screen.
"Where is that?!"
"It's…"
The Father of Ultra zoomed out, revealing the Earth–Moon system.
"That is the Moon."
"The Moon?! Belial!"
Seven reacted instantly.
He remembered Zero once mentioning that, after being purified, Belial had remained by Geed's side—
even constructing a base on the Moon.
If Plasma Spark energy was appearing there now, it could only be Belial's doing.
"But our Plasma Spark is still here," the Mother of Ultra said, gazing toward the Plasma Spark Tower, where dense light continued to radiate across the Planet of Light.
"I'll go there personally."
With that, the Father of Ultra flew out beyond the Land of Light.
