Chapter 10: Zoffy fires a single M87 beam—supernova! Ace: Slander! I

……

M78 Nebula, Land of Light.

The brilliance of the Plasma Spark Tower, as always, shrouded this peaceful land.

The headquarters of the Space Guard, however, had a subtle atmosphere.

The legendary Ultraman warriors gathered together now, looking up at the same enormous screen appearing above them.

Ultraman Father, Ken, stood solemnly in the center, gazing at the blue‑tribe scientist beside him.

"Hikari, do you have any research results on this screen?"

Hikari spread his hands, somewhat helpless.

"No clue. It just appeared out of nowhere, cannot be analyzed, cannot be interfered with. All we know is that it will play……edited footage about us."

Standing aside, Zoffy, as the captain of the Space Guard, analyzed calmly.

"The screen says it's counting down the top ten civilizations; our Land of Light is only tenth. This means that after it, nine more civilizations will be shown."

The Red Tribe's prince, Taro, curiously came over.

"In the universe, could there be a powerful civilization unknown even to our Space Guard?"

"That's so interesting!" Ace rubbed his hands, fighting spirit ablaze, "I guess among the later civilizations there might be beings like the Baltan aliens. Speaking of which, my Eight‑Split Ring……has been itching lately."

Seven's concerns ran deeper.

"Are the remaining nine civilizations like us, upholding justice and peace? What if… among them there is an evil civilization—would it not pose a new threat to the universe, even to humanity?"

The Original patted Seven's shoulder, comforting him.

"It shouldn't be, after all, humanity has our Space Guard protecting it—who would dare be so blind?"

Just as they were discussing...

The screen continued to play.

This time, the subtitles on the screen became more detailed, and moreover……shocking.

The first to appear was still that familiar figure.

Ultraman Zoffy.

He hovered before a barren planet, before the myriad worlds, and slowly raised his arm.

In the next instant, an aura a thousand times more terrifying than the Spacium Beam burst from him!

M87 Beam!

That blazing white pillar of light was no mere heat; it embodied the destructive law capable of warping space and annihilating everything!

Where the beam passed, that planet and its entire star system instantly turned into cosmic dust, silently and soundlessly!

The image ended, and a cold line of text slowly appeared.

【Ultraman Zoffy——M87 Beam, Power: Supernova!】

Watching the screen, the first one who couldn't help was Zoffy himself.

He unconsciously scratched his head.

"Our Ultraman race is a peace‑loving species……how could they edit it to make us look like a bunch of battle maniacs?"

He let out a long sigh, with only one thought in his mind.

Just don't edit my dark history……

In the next instant, the screen switched.

A figure intimately familiar to all Ultramen appeared.

Within the Land of Light, all Ultramans' gazes—whoosh—focused on Ultraman Ace.

What appeared on the screen was none other than him.

That wasn't a complete clip, but a frantic edit spliced together from countless fragments!

In the picture, Ace's Eight‑Split Ring in his hand was like a high‑speed spinning death‑cutting machine, scattering blinding sparks!

Eight‑Split Ring, again and again, sliced the monsters beneath him!

One after another, the ferocious, twisted, terrified monster faces flashed by like a death‑bed panorama.

Only Ace's posture, wielding the ring from start to finish, was cold and resolute, like a grim reaper demanding lives.

After the screening, several large characters, carrying a teasing tone, were branded onto the screen.

【Ultraman King, Monster‑Slicing Machine, Meat‑Plant Manager——Ultraman Ace】

【His famous line is——Monsters feel no pain!】

The image froze.

In the Land of Light, Ace widened his eyes and instantly bristled.

"Slander! This is pure slander—I'm nothing like that!"

He shouted while unconsciously raising his hand.

"Hum——"

A circle of chilling light‑flashing Eight‑Split Ring instantly formed in his hand and began spinning at high speed.

Suddenly, Ace sensed the atmosphere was off.

He glanced at his unconscious motion, then at the strange expressions of the brothers around him, and instantly retracted the ring like an electric shock, placing his hands behind his back.

"Pfft!"

Taro could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.

"Ace‑brother, you still say it's not? I think the screen summed it up quite fittingly—very much your style!"

Before Ace could retort, the next video was up for Taro.

Only seen, Taro in the screen erupted in blazing flames, his whole body turning into a scorching fireball!

Afterwards, he fiercely embraced the enemy before him.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Explosion sounds rang without end; countless monsters and aliens, under his fearless self‑destruct attack, turned to ash.

【Ultra Bomb, as long as I die fast enough, the enemy's defeat can't catch up to me!】

The last video was of Lei Ou.

In the image, Lei Ou's stance traced a vigorous arc in the air, a domineering, peerless flying kick imbued with tremendous force, slammed out fiercely!

No extra moves, only pure power and destruction!

The explosion sound arrived; all enemies died horribly!

When this series of battle highlights finished playing.

The myriad realms fell into a deathly silence.

All civilizations, all sentient beings, at this moment, were shrouded by an immense sense of absurdity.

A terrifying thought, overturning all their previous cognition, arose simultaneously in everyone's mind.

Love peace?

Gods?

Guardians?

No……

This group of Ultra Men is simply a bunch of blood‑loving, combat‑crazed maniacs!

Wherever they go, battle follows, and war flames spread!

What kind of cosmic police is this……

This is clearly the image of cosmic bandits!
