Chapter 80

We are comrades-in-arms, aren't we?

The pale blue Sylius photon beam shot straight toward Hilderas's head.

The anticipated scenario of a single blow piercing the skull and ending the opponent's life did not occur. This King Hildras possessed indestructible, tough hide, with a body surface defense far exceeding that of ordinary gold and silver dragon kings.

The beam of light slammed into the thick scales on the monster's head. The intense energy impact barely forced the monster's massive body to jerk backward, staggering back several steps.

The monster staggered and steadied itself, but the relentless pressure of the photon beams continued to erode its body. Layers of scales on its head melted away, and scalding energy continued to burn inward. It was simply unable to withstand this fatal blow, and its body uncontrollably staggered backward once more.

One step, two steps... the ground was crushed by the heavy feet, leaving deep cracks.

The red light on Sirius's chest timer flashed more and more rapidly. The remaining energy in his body was being consumed at an alarming rate. His limbs were already weak and numb. The burden of continuously releasing his ultimate attack kept rising. In the end, he could not hold on until he completely defeated the monster and had no choice but to forcibly cut off the light output.

The moment the light dissipated, half of the fused monster's head had already been melted and charred by the high temperature, with the flesh turned inside out and the damage visible to the naked eye.

Even after suffering such severe damage, it still did not completely lose its ability to move. It raised its head and let out a deafening, ferocious roar at Sirius in mid-air. The roar, carrying the remaining ferocity, made the entire airspace hum.

Looking at this scene from high above, Sirius felt a surge of despair.

His own energy was nearly exhausted, his body was covered in wounds, and his Ultra psychic power was also overdrawn. He had no strength left to launch a new offensive, and he no longer had any techniques to operate.

King Hildras's roar lasted only a moment before it abruptly stopped.

All the monster's struggling and roaring movements suddenly froze. Its massive body lost all support and crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. It remained completely still, without a trace of life.

Once he confirmed that the monster had completely stopped moving, Sirius's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly, and he slowly fell down, landing safely on the ground.

The moment his feet touched the ground, the side effects of the previous high-intensity manipulation of the Eight-Point Light Wheel to change its trajectory, and the continuous activation of Ultraman's telekinesis, instantly swept over his entire body, causing a violent dizziness in his brain.

After being paralyzed by lightning, his body, which had been continuously overdrawn, was already sore and weak. This wave of dizziness almost made him fall to the ground, and he could only barely support himself to maintain his balance.

But he had no time to worry about his own near-collapse state; his gaze immediately fell on the damaged Dragon Might mech kneeling beside him.

Compared to himself, the two pilots inside the mech were in real danger.

Despite the dizziness and exhaustion, Sirius staggered to the side of the Dragon Might mech and gently placed his hand on the outer wall of the cockpit.

A soft, pale blue light slowly rippled from his palm. The gentle energy penetrated the heavy armor of the mecha, transforming into countless tiny light particles that surged into the cabin, enveloping the unconscious Nagasawa and Shizuka.

After completing this layer of protection, Sirius breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least for the time being, the two drivers would no longer be in mortal danger.

  

While he still had a sliver of energy left, Sirius straightened his body, intending to take off gracefully and make a stylish exit.

But the monster's massive body, which had just collapsed and fallen silent, suddenly began to expand violently and abnormally beneath its skin and flesh. Its skin and flesh bulged taut, and within a single second, the entire monster's corpse doubled in size. Fine cracks appeared on its surface, making it look as if it was about to explode completely at any moment.

Driven by instinct, Sirius immediately wanted to take off and escape, but when he caught a glimpse of the severely damaged Dragon Might mech beside him, he immediately stopped and tried to reach out and take the mech away from danger as well.

But at this moment, he was completely exhausted, and his energy was almost depleted. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't carry the Dragon Might Mech away.

The bloated monster's body could no longer contain the out-of-control spatial energy within it, and with a deafening roar, the entire corpse exploded completely.

A violent explosion swept across the entire battlefield, creating a massive spacetime wormhole out of thin air. The dark, twisted opening generated an extremely strong suction force, frantically pulling at everything around it.

Rocks shattered and rolled down from the ground, towering trees rooted in the soil, and broken building wreckage were all sucked into the wormhole. Even Sirius and the Dragon Might mech were dragged along by the immense suction force, inching their way toward the edge of the black hole.

Sirius gazed at the Dragon Might mech fighting alongside him, the entire battle flashing through his mind...

The mechs deployed their shields to block the attacks, while Nagasawa and Shizuka bravely piloted their mechs to provide support. Lasers distracted and interrupted the monster's ultimate attack... In just two battles, they've already coordinated so many times?

With a touch of emotion but without the slightest hesitation, Sirius mobilized the last of his energy, completely enveloping the entire Dragon Might mech in a thick layer of light. Then, using all his remaining strength, he pushed it forward with all his might.

The mech, enveloped in a barrier of light, instantly broke free from the wormhole's suction, escaping the black hole's engulfment and landing safely in a safe area.

Having done this, Sirius had no strength left to resist the wormhole's pull. The rapidly flashing red light of the timer on his chest almost merged into one, and his body was uncontrollably dragged by the enormous suction force, directly into the dark and distorted spacetime wormhole.

After completely swallowing Sirius, the wormhole patterns in the air slowly contracted, then closed completely in an instant, disappearing into thin air.

Inside the CEA frontline camp, the screen broadcasting the entire battlefield scene in real time froze at the moment the wormhole closed. Captain Sato stared blankly at the screen, frozen in place.

He never expected that this giant of light, who had repeatedly protected the Earth, would be willing to give up his own chance of survival to protect the pilot, leaving all the chances of survival to humanity.

Meanwhile, inside the Dragon Might mech, far from the explosion zone, the violent jolts jolted Changze, who was less seriously injured, awake from his unconsciousness.

He opened his eyes groggily, and before he could even process what was happening, he witnessed through the cockpit's observation window the entire process of Sirius exhausting his strength to push away the mecha, while he himself was swallowed up by the spacetime wormhole alone.

He reached out as if to do something, but the mech's control system malfunctioned on a large scale, making it impossible to perform any actions. He could only watch helplessly as the giant disappeared into the black hole.

A surging sense of powerlessness and intense resentment gripped his heart, making his chest feel so suffocated that he could barely breathe. Only the light particles surrounding him flickered faintly.

It was as if she was comforting him, saying, "It's alright, after all, we're comrades-in-arms, aren't we?"

Now that quite a few people have seen it, once the author gets paid next month, he'll find an artist to commission a drawing of Ultraman Sirius.

Finally, thank you all for your support. Love you all, Ciallo~(∠・ω< )⌒☆】
