"During this period of confinement, I feel like my body is rusting."

"The battlefield is definitely more my domain."

In a distant galaxy, he once again stepped onto the battlefield, annihilating the invaders. Looking at the planet he had saved, he breathed a sigh of relief to his teammates.

"this..."

“Lias, there’s something I think you should hear.”

After a battle, Lias, who was resting on a planet in a human-like form, suddenly received a message from his teammates.

"That child touched the core of the Plasma Spark after you left."

His eyes widened as soon as he heard the first half of the sentence.

"However, Seven stopped him before he actually made a mistake."

"They have now been sent to planet K76, where Leo will personally train and correct their behavior."

After hearing these words, he remained silent for a long time.

My departure may have caused secondary harm to a child who already lacks love.

This is my responsibility.

In the end, that child was just putting on a brave face, trying to put his mind at ease before leaving.

Chapter 501 Lias (Part 2)

"The Land of Light has been invaded!"

"It's Belial!"

"After 30,000 years, Belial broke free from the seal of the space prison and launched an attack on the Land of Light with the Ultimate Battle Device!"

Lias, who had just returned to the Land of Light after completing his mission, encountered a critical situation.

He quickly caught up with the other members of the Space Guard and entered the Plasma Spark Tower.

"Belial!!"

Seeing his fallen comrade, Lias clenched his fists and rushed forward to subdue the criminal.

It was during this battle that he clearly realized his powerlessness.

He failed miserably.

"Light! I need light!"

"I have to take care of this guy here!"

"Give me your power!"

With his last glimmer of hope, he reached out to the core of the plasma spark.

At the same time... there was also a hint of resentment.

The poor child was nearly exiled for trying to touch this thing. With the entire Land of Light in crisis, what use is this thing if we can't lend power to these warriors?!

His potential has been exhausted, and his power is simply insufficient to stop Belial. The only way to save the Land of Light is to rely on the power of the Plasma Spark Core.

He successfully gained a wisp of power, but... at this moment, the distracting thoughts amplified by the extreme light prevented him from gaining true recognition.

......

Belial was defeated.

When Lias awoke again, he saw the Land of Light, which had returned to peace.

That rebellious youth ultimately saved the Land of Light.

As for himself, he has forever lost his former glory.

"Your injuries... cannot be treated with life-fixation technology."

"It's a miracle that such reckless behavior didn't completely destroy you."

"I'm sorry, Lias."

"I...have not yet found a solution."

First the Silver Cross, then the Space Science and Technology Bureau—listening to Hikari's helpless yet self-reproachful words, he finally realized the reality that belonged to him.

"It's fine."

"After fighting for so many years, perhaps it's time for me to retire from the stage."

"Young people these days are incredibly talented, so losing me won't really have much of an impact."

"The universe will not become more peaceful because of me, nor will it become worse because of me. I believe that those young warriors can do even better."

"I...should take a break."

These were his last words to Hikari before he left the Space Science and Technology Agency.

......

"This planet is indeed the most suitable for me."

"The wind here, the trees here, the summer here, really... help me forget a lot of my troubles."

Lias lay in the woods in a human-like posture, quietly enjoying the peace of the moment.

"I told you long ago that you shouldn't push yourself so hard."

"Take this opportunity to rest here. You are a great hero who saved this place. This is your home. You can stay here as long as you like."

His former comrade-in-arms on this planet said this to him.

"And... if we're talking about marriage, she..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

"Well, it hasn't come to that yet."

"I haven't thought about these things yet."

"Let me adjust to my new life first; this is truly the first time I've stopped to enjoy life..."

"Hahahaha, okay."

......

“Lias...this is not your fault.”

"You're being controlled by the enemy, that planet..."

"Stop talking, Seven!"

"It's all my fault!"

"Weakness is the original sin!"

"I killed them, I did it myself..."

......

Is he still completely despondent?

"That incident was a huge blow to him."

"We have tried our best to persuade them, but... the effect is not obvious."

......

"Senior Lias, has something changed?"

"It feels so different from before."

"Senior, your health... perhaps you shouldn't take on any more missions."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just some simple tasks. I'll treat it as a vacation."

"The stage belongs to you young people now; it's time for us old folks to enjoy ourselves."

"By the way, from now on, just call me Xia Shu. This name is better."

As Natsuki spoke to the younger generation, she accepted some easy missions that would take her to different star systems, her smile revealing no sign of her true feelings.

He has too many places he must go.

......

......

In the boundless darkness, that faint point of light gradually transformed into a human figure.

"This is me."

"A...loser."

After receiving these memories, he realized who he really was.

"I failed to become a truly powerful warrior, and I failed to protect what I cherished."

Is this really me?

His voice echoed in the boundless darkness.

A campfire suddenly lit up beside him, and a gray figure crouching beside it appeared in the firelight.

"This is not the complete you."

"No one believed you would really be completely ruined from this, including me."

The figure in the gray suit casually produced a handful of firewood and threw it into the fire, making the flames burn even more fiercely.

"A extinguished flame needs better fuel to reignite."

"And the bond between humans and Ultraman is undoubtedly the best fuel."

Hearing what the other person said.
