Ultraman: This Belial only wants to make money.

Chapter 14. The Soul of the Relic

The Ultimate Battle Device, also known as the Giga Battle Device, is Belial's signature weapon. As a key, it directly opened the prologue to Ultra Galaxy Legend, bringing forth two of the most popular Ultra Warriors in the future: Zero and Belial.

Now, Jin Yi is going to use this "key" to reopen the door to possibilities that have been closed.

"Oh, this thing... seems familiar."

Captain Tamura squinted at the dumbbell-shaped object in Jin Yi's hand, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized what it meant.

"The one that wiped out the Zarab aliens?!"

A few days ago, Jin Yi transformed into Bai Bei and defeated the kidnapper effortlessly, but the execution was still left to the Ultimate Battle Device.

After all, it's the ultimate battle device; it would lack a sense of ritual if it weren't consecrated with the blood of the Zarab aliens.

"I'm still alive and well!"

Zach said with dissatisfaction.

Back then, this weapon was 60 meters long, even taller than Belial, but now, held by Jin Yi, it looks like a strangely shaped dumbbell.

"That thing is so big, yet it can shrink so much; it completely defies all the current laws of physics..."

When tech-savvy player Akihisa tried to touch it, Zach, who was watching, slapped his hand away, showing a look of disgust.

"That's right. In the universe of the Land of Light, his power is known to all."

"Oh, so it's the legendary ultimate weapon, right?!"

The Japanese love this kind of thing, and they can subconsciously understand its appeal without needing any further explanation.

"Yes, this is the spoils of war I obtained after defeating the Reiblood alien. It possesses unparalleled destructive power, and any monster will submit to its might."

Jin Yi, being very malicious, didn't reveal the true function of the Ultimate Battle Device, but simply introduced its destructive power.

"At point of contact, its power is enough to completely shatter Mechanical Zetton, but now we have a problem."

Jin Yi turned to look at the silent Lipia and slowly said.

"Zetton's barrier is a very troublesome thing. We can't get close to Zetton without breaking through it. So before that, Lipia, I hope you can cover me, break through the shield, and get close to Zetton."

"No problem."

Both Beria's and Lipia's proposals required close contact with Jetton, and Lipia readily agreed.

"So you need to maintain your peak condition, not this state of being merged with a human."

"..."

Purebred beings of the Light Star, before merging with other life forms, have a pure, bright silver body. As high-dimensional beings, they possess inexhaustible power. However, after merging with humans, red stripes similar to the color of human blood appear on their bodies. When they are exhausted, the color of the stripes may even fade and turn green, and their strength and power will also decrease significantly.

"You know better than I do the power of the mechanical Zetton. It is not an enemy that can be dealt with easily. If we are not careful, we will both fall into an abyss of no return."

To increase the success rate of the operation, abandoning Shinji Kaminaga's physical body and returning to his original form is the best option.

Lipia fell silent, a rare occurrence.

He has no shortage of courage to sacrifice himself for humanity, but now, this life does not belong to him alone.

"I cannot agree to that. Once I leave this body, this young man's heart will stop beating."

Life is an immeasurably precious thing, and cannot be placed on both ends of a scale. One person or 80 billion? They are equally important to Libya.

The members of the FOT team also fell silent. Shinji Kaminaga was a man of few words, and in this newly formed team, no one knew him very well.

Asami, a newly recruited member of the team, only knew the Ultraman who had transformed into a human.

However, neither of them spoke.

Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, Jin Yi slowly spoke.

"Gentlemen, have you made a mistake?"

This isn't a dramatic either-or situation; Jin Yi prefers a happy ending for everyone.

But before that, watching the heroes struggle for their beliefs is the most delicious thing.

"Zack!"

Jin Yi snapped his fingers. He had been raising an army for a thousand days to use it for one. Everything was going exactly as Jin Yi had planned!

"Hehe, it's my turn! I definitely won't let you down, Boss..."

Zach jumped out from behind Jin Yi.

"I brought two lives!"

He excitedly loosened his fist, revealing a silver-white, peanut-sized device in his palm.

"Life Solidification Device! With it, all dead life can be brought back to life!"

The technology of solidifying life can condense life into capsules, and even corpses that have been dead for many days can be revived and given a second life.

This is Ultraman Hikari's most advanced technological achievement, and also a closely guarded secret of the entire Land of Light.

This technology is far too important; it can be said to have directly changed the history of the Land of Light. If solidified life did not exist, the fate of the original Ultraman might have been rewritten.

Later, the villains in the universe even launched a major war in order to obtain this technology, aiming to force the Land of Light to open it up. The Ultra Brothers spent a lot of effort to thwart the villains' conspiracy.

Although the technology itself was not made public, the results have leaked out.

The root of all this is the excessive kindness of the Ultramen.

When the valiant Ultra Guard members are maintaining order in the universe, they often encounter innocent civilians caught in the aftermath of battles. The kind-hearted warriors of the Land of Light, unable to bear seeing the victims, often hand over a guaranteed solidified life capsule to give the deceased a second life.

But there are always lucky ones who survive a great calamity and pull through without needing the life-stabilizing capsule. The capsule then becomes ownerless, and speculators flock to it, paying high prices to buy it.

Hikari's research was too advanced for conspirators to reverse engineer, but that didn't prevent them from using the results.

For a time, a large number of solid life forms flowed out of the black market, almost making the previous war a joke. The turmoil gradually subsided only after Hikari re-encrypted the solid life capsules.

The capsules that were previously left on the market became increasingly scarce and valuable, with each capsule used reducing the supply.

The solidified life capsule in Zack's hand was something he had gone through a lot of trouble to obtain, spending a long time on the black market and a large portion of his fortune in the process.

But such a precious thing is going to be used on an ordinary human being. Although it's very hard to bear, it's the Boss's order...

For Lord Belial's grand future plans, what harm is there in a few sacrifices?

"Wait a minute... sack!"

Wait a minute, is resurrection really possible?

The entire Fate team was petrified.

For humans, whose lifespan is less than a hundred years, nothing is more precious than life itself.

On this planet, someone has been worshipped for over 2000 years for performing a miracle of resurrection, and today the miracle will be performed again.

And Jin Yi, who can manipulate life at will... I doubt anyone would object to him calling himself a god.

"Life solidification technology, amazing..."

Even someone as knowledgeable as Ultraman couldn't help but be surprised at this moment.

"The Academy of Light Star has similar projects, but they're still just hypothetical. I never expected this..."

When it comes to destructive weapons, the Star of Light is unparalleled in this universe, but when it comes to life technology, the Kingdom of Light in another universe is even better!

"I see. Remember to increase security measures for the Academy of Sciences of the Land of Light."

With a chuckle, Jin Yi received the precious treasure from his loyal subordinate. Amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, the life solidification device he held aloft emitted a gentle white light.

"Shinji Kaminari, open your eyes! I am Belial!"

As the white light engulfed his entire field of vision, Lipia could feel a new rhythm, a new power seeping into his body, pushing his consciousness out with it.

In the last moment before his consciousness left his body, he saw Shinichi Kaminari's eyelashes tremble slightly, and he simply said "take care" before leaving the body.
