Orb soon reached the Tree of Life and swiftly plucked a Life Tree fruit seed.
Below, Yuzhou raised the Giga Battlenizer high into the air.
A surge of dark-purple energy poured out from the weapon, spiralling tightly around Queen Bezelb's body.
Moments later, Queen Bezelb stiffened completely.
Her connection with Psychi's spaceship was severed, and her body dissolved into a crimson beam of light that was drawn straight into the Giga Battlenizer.
With the weapon retracted, Yuzhou nodded in satisfaction.
Queen Bezelb was a high-value capture—
A monster capable of controlling others through venom, growing stronger the more creatures she enslaved.
Turning his gaze upward, Yuzhou looked at Orb in the sky.
"…Why is that guy harvesting Life Tree fruit now?"
He was genuinely confused.
Queen Amate had already been detoxified.
What—did she enjoy being shot with seeds so much that she wanted another round?
"Senior Tiga! I'll help you purge the poison!"
Before Yuzhou could react, the seed in Orb's hand transformed into a spear of light and was hurled straight at him.
"…What the hell?!"
Yuzhou had not expected his Dark form to be mistaken for poisoning.
Clang!
The light spear was smashed apart by the Giga Battlenizer.
His body was perfectly fine—he didn't need this thing at all.
"That's not working!" Orb shouted, immediately yanking two more fruits from the Tree of Life.
With one in each hand, he fired two more light spears.
"???"
Yuzhou was momentarily speechless.
Clang! Clang!
Both spears shattered mid-air under the Battlenizer.
"…Enough already."
The Giga Battlenizer vanished from Yuzhou's hand.
Light particles gathered from all directions, wrapping around his body.
With a flash, his form shifted back to silver, purple, and red.
Orb, just about to fire again, froze mid-motion.
"Huh…?"
Dyna and Cosmos were equally stunned.
He had just switched back—
From darkness to light—in an instant.
Was he seriously hopping back and forth between light and darkness?
—
"Queen Bezelb!!!"
Inside the spaceship, Psychi let out a furious roar as he sensed the severed link.
Queen Bezelb had betrayed him.
Something he had never even considered.
"That damn bastard… his name is Tiga, right?!"
Psychi glared at the screen.
"Yes. Tiga. Ultraman Tiga," the clown robot Partel replied.
"You dare interfere with my plan—then die!"
Psychi roared, redirecting all weapon systems toward Yuzhou.
Countless cannons manifested in the void, unleashing a storm of firepower.
"Watch out!"
"Be careful, Senior Tiga!"
"Get out of there!"
Dyna, Cosmos, and Orb shouted warnings in unison.
But Yuzhou's eyes narrowed.
He had already pinpointed the firing origin—
The spaceship lurking high above.
The crystal on his forehead glowed crimson.
His body shifted instantly into silver and red.
Power Type.
Red lightning crackled around him as he spread his arms.
One by one, the incoming shells slammed into the electric field and froze mid-air—
Like insects caught in a web.
With a powerful swing, Yuzhou hurled the entire mass of captured firepower back.
BOOM!
A massive explosion erupted near the spaceship, flames briefly revealing its silhouette.
"That's Doctor Psychi ship!"
Queen Amate cried out in shock.
Only then did she realize it had been hiding in the sky all along.
Dyna, Cosmos, and Orb prepared to attack—
But Queen Amate raised her hand.
"Stop! I must negotiate with him, so this war does not continue endlessly!"
"…You have got to be kidding me."
Even Yuzhou was rendered speechless.
Before any so-called negotiation could begin, the spaceship fired again.
Yuzhou flicked his arm.
A light blade swept through the sky, detonating every shell mid-air.
"If you're suicidal, I'll oblige."
He crossed his arms downward over his chest.
Scarlet light particles gathered violently.
The blazing energy mass was hurled forward as a torrent.
Delacium Stream.
If this hit, no one inside that ship would survive.
But then—
Queen Amate flew upward, positioning herself directly in its path.
The Delacium Stream struck her squarely.
BOOM!
She was blasted back to the ground.
Taking advantage of the opening, Psychi spaceship tried to flee upward.
Yuzhou clicked his tongue.
His form shifted again—this time into Sky Type, silver and purple.
A rapidly condensed Runbolt Light Bullet shot forth.
BOOM!
No miracle this time.
Psychi spaceship exploded completely.
"No—!"
Queen Amate reached toward the sky, screaming as the wreckage burned.
Yuzhou nearly laughed.
If it weren't for her incompetence, would Planet Kanon have been invaded at all?
—
"You hurt the Queen! Kill that evil one!"
The natives erupted in fury.
Queen Amate was their symbol of faith.
They had all seen her struck down by Yuzhou's attack.
No one cared about context.
No one cared about cause.
Every cannon was turned toward him.
"…Excellent."
Yuzhou felt genuine anger rising.
An entire planet of fools.
"What do we do…?"
Dyna, Cosmos, and Orb hesitated.
They were natives—
Striking them down would truly push Tiga onto a dark path.
Yuzhou didn't bother debating.
He stomped the ground.
The shockwave rippled outward, flipping countless soldiers off their feet.
"Do not harm my people!"
Queen Amate, somehow recovered already, shouted furiously.
That was the final straw.
Yuzhou's expression hardened completely.
Perhaps he should have never intervened—
Perhaps the Tree of Life should have fallen as it originally did.
Facing Queen Amate, Yuzhou assumed a battle stance.
This time—
He would not back down.
