Chapter 62: Belial was expelled from the Land of Light, Tiga was dumbfounded: Is being made to stand at the doorstep also called exi
Belial's palm, at the moment it touched the core light of the Plasma Spark Tower, an indescribable pain instantly spread through his whole body.
That light was not the power source he imagined, but an energy torrent of extreme repulsion.
Every cell in his body trembled violently, as if about to be torn apart.
"Ah!"
Belial let out a painful howl, his body twisting and deforming in the light.
He tried to break free, but found that the force clung to him like a bone‑deep maggot, firmly attaching him.
He saw that the dazzling light at the core of the Plasma Spark Tower could not be controlled by him at all.
That was not a grant of power, but a merciless backlash against greed.
M78 Nebula.
Ultraman Father watched Belial's painful struggle on the skyline, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Belial..."
He sighed softly, this once‑best friend had ultimately walked down this irreversible path.
Beside him, Tiga asked curiously:
"Grandfather… no… Captain."
Tiga corrected his form of address.
"Belial was once your best friend, but he violated the Ultraman spirit, touched the Plasma Spark Tower that must never be touched—what is his final punishment?"
A trace of memory crossed Ultraman Father's face, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness:
"Belial, because of the greed in his heart, wanted to control the power of the Plasma Spark Tower, but suffered a backlash—this is a great sin."
"Before principle, there is no room for sentiment or favoritism."
"In the end, I exiled Belial to the edge of the universe to punish him."
Tiga heard this and was startled:
"The edge of the universe?"
"This punishment is indeed severe!"
At this moment, Tiga felt his grandfather, Taijian, was so towering.
Even when facing his best friend's mistake, he could be utterly impartial, showing no mercy.
The image on the skyline continued to turn, as Ultraman Father had said.
Belial struggled in the backlash of the Plasma Spark Tower, his body scorched by the light.
He could not control that force at all, nor gain recognition.
Just as he was about to be completely consumed by the light,
Ultraman Father and Zoffy and others arrived in time.
They jointly stopped Belial's rampage and finally subdued him.
Afterwards, the high officials of the Land of Light passed judgment on Belial's extreme actions—namely, exile to the edge of the universe!
The scene shifted.
In the vast expanse of space,
Ultraman Father and the others escorted the backlash‑afflicted Belial, exiling him onto this asteroid.
Ultraman Father stood before Belial, his voice stern and resolute:
"Belial, you have lost the qualifications to be an Ultraman warrior!"
"Reflect well here at the edge of the universe; if you fail to realize your mistake, the Land of Light will forever close its doors to you!"
Belial was thrown onto the asteroid, his body still suffering the excruciating pain of the Plasma Spark Tower's backlash.
He hated this unjust world, hated his own lack of strength.
He hated even more why the Plasma Spark Tower would not accept him!
Why?
On what grounds?
Jian was so strong, so surrounded by stars!
He was unwilling, so unwilling!
Belial's inner anguish reached its peak.
To him, this barren asteroid was the edge of the universe.
Land of Light, M78 Nebula.
Tiga watched the scene on the skyline of Belial being exiled, and all Ultraman were dumbfounded.
"No, this is the edge of the universe??"
He pointed at the screen, at the asteroid called the "edge of the universe".
In fact, on that asteroid, Belial needed only to raise his head slightly to clearly see the M78 Nebula shining not far away.
Tiga was speechless for a moment.
What "edge of the universe"? This is basically putting him on a punishment post right at the doorstep!
Ultraman Father gave a dry cough, trying to hide his embarrassment:
"That is not the Land of Light; it is merely a planet similar to our Land of Light."
Upon hearing that, Tiga first looked at the shimmering M78 Nebula on the skyline.
Then he looked at the barren asteroid where Belial had been exiled.
He was very familiar with that asteroid.
Isn't this just the asteroid next to the Land of Light?
He still often went up there to play when he was a child, huh?
"Captain, this isn't right, I remember this asteroid..."
Tiga was about to continue questioning when Ultraman Father gave another dry cough:
"Um... Tiga, Hikali has something to see me, I'm leaving first, you can talk later."
After saying that, Ultraman Father hurriedly left the sky curtain here, leaving Tiga alone at the spot, dazed.
At the side,
Tiga watched the departing Ultraman Father and said to Taro:
"Taro instructor, is the captain deceiving me??"
Taro hehe laughed and said:
"Tiga, the captain's actions have his own deep meaning."
"Now he might have something to attend to, I'm here watching the sky curtain with you."
"Rest assured, I won't deceive you."
Tiga then nodded.
Ultraman Father came to Hikali's side, his departure wasn't entirely out of guilt.
Hikali here indeed has important matters to report.
Seeing Ultraman Father arrive, Hikali immediately stepped forward, after saluting, reported:
"Captain, I have captured in the universe an unidentified object targeting our Land of Light, currently heading toward the M78 Nebula."
Ultraman Father's expression turned solemn, he asked:
"What is it? Why is it targeting our Land of Light?"
"Could it be a conspiracy by some aliens?"
Hikali pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"I actually dare not be certain; this thing drifted from another universe, its target is our M78 Nebula."
Ultraman Father nodded, continued asking:
"Can you detect its shape? What is it?"
Facing Ultraman Father's question, Hikali seemed somewhat unable to answer:
"According to my detection, this object is just a small piece of paper; I just don't understand who would throw a piece of paper at our M78 Nebula."
"For now this small piece of paper hasn't left that multiverse, but I can be certain it's aimed at us."
As the Director of the Land of Light Science and Technology Bureau, Hikali actually had already detected this "small piece of paper" early on.
Initially, he thought this was an invasion by some evil force targeting the Land of Light.
But later he ruled out this possibility.
After all, no evil force would attack the Land of Light with just a small piece of paper, right?
This behavior is truly puzzling.
At this moment, even with Hikali's intelligence, after deep thought he still couldn't understand what this behavior meant.
At the side, after Ultraman Father finished listening, he spoke:
"Then let Sailuo and them go investigate that universe; it just so happens the Ultimate Zero Guard just returned from a mission."
