Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

Chapter 314 Death Is Not Scary

The once invincible, mighty monster, unstoppable, can turn into a loose, mushy, and enormous lump of flesh after losing its life-sustaining source.

The various energies within the hero monster were in complete chaos. After losing their dominant life force, they began to compete for control of the hero monster's consciousness, turning the monster into a madman.

Stardew was so amazed by the incredible series of events that had just occurred that she could hardly believe her eyes.

How could a human who risks his life to borrow the power of others, who couldn't even withstand a single attack from the Hero Monster in its relaxed state, possibly take away the Hero Monster's life core?

Stardew already admired Ichiro greatly for daring to stand in front of the Hero Monster. After all, the whole world was collapsing, and it was already commendable that he could muster up the courage in such a situation.

"Is this a matter of faith, or a miracle?"

"Does daring to think and act really guarantee that one's wishes will come true?"

Stardew's soul began to tremble. She could hear her own heart pounding wildly with excitement. Yixuan's adherence to and fulfillment of the promise gave Stardew hope.

Luo gave Xinglu freedom, allowing her ample time and space to consider her next move.

The hero monster, writhing on the ground in agony, is collected into the earth by Luo Yi using the method of recalling the beast. She will reappear later, and now, there is another good show to watch.

Xinglu's soul entered her own magical beast space to ponder. Luo Yi regained control of his body and walked towards Yixuan's location, anticipating everyone's reaction after seeing the truth.

Where the Giant of Light stood, a bright light flashed and then quickly dissipated. Overburdened, Ichiro carried a girl to a safe location, fulfilling his promise to Haruki.

Those who had fled earlier, along with the monsters, returned after seeing the hero monster disappear. Gazing at the desolate battlefield, they wondered where the hero monster and the giant of light had gone.

The situation changed too quickly; before the answer to the previous question could be found, the next change would occur.

Among the returning crowd, two people rushed to the front, eager to see the heroic fighters and the suffering victims as soon as possible.

"Yixuan, Yixuan, are you alright?"

"Elifa, please don't let anything happen to you!!"

Zi Miao used all her strength to run to Yi Xuan and hug him tightly. She was really scared, scared that she would never see Yi Xuan again.

There was no need to say anything more, and Zi Miao didn't want to hear anything more. She just wanted to hold her lover tightly, just like she did now.

Some are happy, some are worried.

Muban ran even faster than Zimiao. He had too much guilt and regret towards his daughter, and before the end of the world, he wanted to at least make up for his mistakes towards her.

However, the girl that Yixuan rescued was not Elifa, but Ajiu.

Looking at the unconscious Ajiu, Muban was momentarily stunned. He had clearly seen with his own eyes that Elifa received Luo Yi's energy, and then the Hero Monster appeared.

"Elifa, why isn't it Elifa? Where is my daughter?"

Wasn't Stardew implicating Elifa to punish herself? What exactly happened...?

"How could I possibly harm my own sister?"

"I'm not like you, you crazy bastard."

Seeing Mu Ban's panic, Luo Yi mocked him mercilessly. Despite having tormented Mu Ban so many times, Luo Yi and Xing Lu were still not satisfied.

When Xinglu captured Muban, Luo Yi went to find Ajiu first and told him how terrible the enemy Yaohui and the others were facing.

Based on their understanding of each other, Luo Yi and A Jiu knew what the other wanted to do without needing to say it directly.

Luo Yi wanted to use Ajiu to turn her into a monster who would obey all his commands;

A-Jiu needs Luo Yi's power. After losing Zeta, Haruki is unable to defeat the Demon Abyss Ruler on his own.

As a member of the hero team, Ah Jiu felt that she had to do something to make amends for trusting Mu Ban and causing harm to Yao Hui and everyone else.

Moreover, this is the time when Yaohui needs help the most. He is risking his life to protect everyone's world. How could Ajiu let his personal desire to hate Ajiu hinder his determination to uphold justice?

This is crazy, but it's the only thing A-Jiu can do for Haruki right now.

Luo Yi knew that Ajiu was the most suitable candidate, after all, who else was more worthy of the title of "hero"?

From initially participating in the summoning of Ultraman to later traveling with Haruki Zeta, A-Kyu has witnessed everything along the way, and his will is something that everyone can acknowledge.

A-Jiu's mastery of all magic and his affinity with the Pure Crystal of Courage make him the perfect match for the Hero Monster.

Unwavering courage, steadfast belief, and Luo Yi's mischievousness towards Ajiu all make the birth and strengthening of the hero monsters go smoothly.

The strength of the Hero Monster is not only due to the blessing of the Mythical Beast's power and the charging of the Hero Crystal, but also because A-Jiu's obsession with the hero further strengthens her fusion with the Hero Monster. The more A-Jiu yearns for and admires the hero, the stronger the Hero Monster becomes...

Until the pinnacle of the world.

"Where is Elifa? Is she alright?"

"Please tell me, Luo Yi, I beg you, you'll definitely take care of your sister, right?!"

Muban crawled on the ground without any regard for his image, crawled up to Luo Yi and asked in a pitiful voice. Many onlookers in the distance saw the scene, but none of them dared to believe that the person kneeling on the ground and begging was the president of the Magicians Guild.

"Get away from me."

“Elifa is fine, of course. I left her with the ant colony, and the Queen Mother, the War Angel, has been taking care of her.”

Meanwhile, on an island far away across the ocean, Elifa sat idly on a giant ant, enjoying the sea breeze, completely unaware of what was happening elsewhere.

All Elifa knew was that she saw her brother, and then when she opened her eyes she was here. The giant ant queen said something about Luo Yi asking them to take care of her, and then left without saying a word.

"You bastard Luo Yi, all you do is bully me! How many more times are you going to lie to me?!"

The island's tranquility is rare in the world, but on Luo Yi's side, the rate of terrain collapse suddenly accelerated, the mountains were rising and falling at a visible speed, and the forests and vegetation began to spread wildly.

The brave monster did not disappear; instead, it merged into the land, thus super-enhancing the elements of the world like never before. The transformation orders issued by Stardew were accelerated, and everything that living beings could see was chaos.

Uncontrolled growth and death; many species that should have gone extinct suddenly appeared; and plants that had just sprouted grew to tens of meters tall.

Once again, all living beings are surrounded by disaster, and compared to the absolute power of the heroes and monsters, the frenzied magical energy around them instills a fear from the depths of their souls.

Feelings of unfamiliarity, helplessness, and confusion filled the hearts of those who still possessed reason. Compared to the madness of the world, those who remained clear-headed were the odd ones out.

Muban, however, was unimpressed. He had experienced many ups and downs in his life, from ordinary man to leader, from meeting to parting and death, from supreme arrogance to the coldness of the world. His wandering and displacement had numbed his spirit and corrupted his soul.

But now, on the eve of the apocalypse, Muban rose from his kneeling position. He looked at the distant sky, imagining Elifa safe and sound. At that moment, Muban smiled.

Life and death, separation and reunion, some smile, some shed tears.

Zi Miao was finally able to hug her lover without any worries, but she could feel her embrace gradually losing its warmth.

Yixuan's breathing was barely perceptible, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to dissipate at any moment. Every breath was a lash against Yixuan's body, which had collapsed to the point that even absorbing oxygen required immense effort.

"Get out of here quickly... Take Ajiu and go find Yaohui... He will protect you..."

Transforming into a giant of light with one's own body is an incredibly agonizing and unimaginable feat. Every single piece of flesh in Yixuan's body is under pressure thousands of times greater than normal. Yixuan's ability to return intact is entirely due to the mercy of the life force.

Yixuan's mouth was slightly open, and he didn't even know which part of his body he was using to speak. But Yixuan knew that this was his last bit of strength, and he had no regrets now.

"No, I don't want that! I just want to be with you. I won't go anywhere without you!"

"Why, why! How many more times do you have to leave me? How much longer do I have to wait before you come back!"

"Please, please, Yixuan, talk to me, okay? I don't need an answer, I just want you to talk to me... anything is fine, I beg you..."

The collapse to the limit made Zi Miao forget the danger she was in. Large amounts of fang-like rocks emerged from the ground, tearing apart the surface and the forest above.

A volcano erupted without warning, turning a lush green area into a sea of ​​fire in an instant, before being shattered by a rain of lightning from the sky.

Luo Yi and Xing Lu were so engrossed in the scene before them that they forgot their senses. A pair of mortals, ravaged by fate, held fast to their true love amidst the madness of the laws of nature, even though their lives were so fragile and they could be engulfed in flames at any moment.

Luo Yi snorted, wanting to take action; he didn't want a born hero to be buried in such a place.

Yixuan was injured by the power of another world. The life force of this world could save him once, but not a second time. Luo Yike could not analyze the power of Ultraman, so he was powerless.

"Miss Zimiao, please accept this and pass it on to Elifa as my apology."

"Next, please step aside. I want to try one last time to save a good person."

Muban handed Zimiao a crumpled letter containing what he had just wanted to say to Elifa. Muban owed Elifa too much; he had spent ten years of selfishness betraying all the expectations of the mother and daughter.

Muban knew he could not turn back; the impetuous and naive man from back then was dead and could never return.

These tragedies are all self-inflicted, irreversible and unstoppable.

But, as Muban told himself, he could no longer be a good person, but at least he wanted to try to save a good person.

Muban slammed his hands on the ground, drawing out a magic circle to absorb the world's energy. Black and white halos reappeared on Muban's arms. The intense pain that pierced his entire body told Muban that his power had returned.

The riot of the world's elements was indeed a disaster, but it also gave Muban an opportunity by causing magical energy to surge outwards. The magic around him was expanding everywhere, an inexhaustible resource for a human.

The dual-colored halo was aimed at Ikki, and the aura of death drew away the remaining Ultra power within Ikki's body, while the aura of life re-entered the body of that born hero.

As one side erodes and the other weakens, Muban replaces himself as the recipient of the remnants of the Ultraman disease, while simultaneously reshaping Yixuan's body with his optimized life force.

"President, what are you doing?"

"You'd better not bother him, or you might end up hurting both of them at the same time."

"Only Muban understands the composition of Ultra Energy best, and only he can control the disease most stably to remove it from Ikxuan's body."

Luo Yi advised Zi Miao not to act rashly, then grabbed the unconscious A Jiu, opened a portal and threw her in, letting A Jiu entertain Elifa.

Muban endured the torment of the remaining disease while simultaneously channeling his remaining life force—both processes were incredibly painful, akin to the torture of being torn apart by death itself—yet Muban managed to persevere.

Besides persevering, I have no other demands. As long as I can persevere, at least I will have made some amends for my mistakes, even if it is only a little.

"Is he using his own life to heal Yixuan?"

"Did you just find out now?"

After being shaken by a series of events, Stardew regained her senses and saw clearly what Muban was doing.

The life force in the world is now mostly polluted. The wild life force is like lava to Yixuan's fragile body. To save him, we must use a more suitable life force, one that is also a mortal.

"This is fine, this is enough."

Muban's consciousness grew increasingly blurred, while Yixuan's face gradually regained its color, his pulse continued to beat, and his breathing continued.

Zi Miao felt as if she had witnessed a miracle. Yi Xuan had truly come back to life, which was even more miraculous than the legends.

Luo Yi and Xing Lu didn't say anything about Mu Ban's performance; they even wished Mu Ban would die sooner.

But the facts speak for themselves: Muban did it, he did what Luo Yi and Xinglu couldn't do, he saved a born hero from the disease of his powers.

"Do you want to save him?"

"No, the aura of death has chosen him; I hear its call."

Zi Miao hugged Yi Xuan, who had just caught his breath, and cried bitterly. Yi Xuan, who knew nothing, was in a daze and hadn't even fully opened his eyes when Zi Miao launched a vicious attack.

Muban found a relatively intact patch of grass and sat down, watching the beautiful woman before him reunite with him, reminiscing about everything he had once possessed.

As he felt life slipping away and heard the faint call of death in his ears, Muban was filled with disdain, even though he knew he had no way out.

"Let's go, we won't stay here any longer."

"Luo Yi, what do you mean by this? Where are you taking us?"

"I'll take you to the ruins. It's on the way anyway, so I'll just give you a ride."

Luo Yi turned and left without looking at Mu Ban, taking with him Yi Xuan, who was full of questions, and Zi Miao, who was holding Yi Xuan tightly. He used earth magic to leave the area and headed straight for the destination.

Stardew is still determined to destroy the world, and she cannot be easily changed by any person or event unless her wish is miraculously fulfilled.

Muban lay on the rapidly decaying grass, quietly waiting for the arrival of death, an aura he knew all too well.

Muban didn't even have the strength to sit up. He could no longer resist the will of death, but he didn't even think about resisting or running away. Muban just wanted to take advantage of the time he was still conscious to think back to his past self.

Back then, I didn't want anything, and I had nothing to fear. I just liked to lie down in an open space like this, looking at the sky and listening to the wind, carefree and at peace with the world.

But now, thinking about it carefully, it turns out—

Death isn't so scary.

……

(Attached is a letter to Elifa)

My dear child:

Regarding life, I am not a good mentor, or even a very bad student.

Among countless mistakes, I have learned one lesson.

Some things are accidental.

Some things are of our own making, and we will have to bear the consequences ourselves.

Luo Yi is a person who has been entangled by fate and has fallen countless times.

Even after all that, he was still able to stay true to himself and become a warrior who could stand on his own.

He has faith, and people he can trust and who are willing to believe in him.

He could have taken control of his own life.

But fate still didn't set him free.

Luo Yi tried to dissuade me many times, but I regarded him as an enemy.

I am not a legendary hero.

I am just someone who keeps making up lies because I am afraid to stand up for myself.

I am just someone whose hands are stained with blood and who dares not hug his family.

I am a person who has lost hope in life.

Until the very end, I saw Luo Yi again.

I had considered killing Luo Yi before, and I did make a mistake.

As I said, I have never been a hero.

Sorry

Elifa

Love, Muban
