Chapter 433: 427 Black Belial

Monster Graveyard.

Listening to Qi Ming's brilliant remarks, his teammates were stunned.

Tregear: "Ugh…"

Hikari: "Tregear, what's wrong?"

Tregear: "Such a terrifying denial of personality—if it were me, I'd already be vomiting on the ground."

Imaginary Saiwen watched the Ultimate Battle Device fly away: "Belial truly collapsed—he lost the mental clash to Qi Ming."

Red Kai: "Mental clash? Yes, that's it!"

He had just thought such a tactic—probing wounds to provoke the enemy into exposing flaws—was something only manga villains would do, but after Imaginary Saiwen's words, he suddenly felt "mental clash" was more accurate.

"Damn." Seeing the Ultimate Battle Device knocked from Belial's grasp, the fire of rage burning in Belial's chest was doused like cold water—he instantly regained clarity.

He was about to retrieve the Ultimate Battle Device, but Qi Ming's mockery continued: "Look, you've already confirmed my words through action—without Raybrondo's charity, you're nothing."

Belial's rage reignited.

Speaking, Qi Ming's Eclipse Gao Si launched another assault, locking into combat with Belial to prevent him from reclaiming the Ultimate Battle Device.

"You brat… I'll tear you into a thousand pieces!" Enraged and blinded by fury, Belial struck back with full force—his movements were wide and open, but to Qi Ming, they were chaotic and unstructured.

Qi Ming loved fighting opponents like this.

Dark Belial swung his claws, leaving ten dark red trails; Gao Si stood steady as a green bamboo in a storm, gliding effortlessly through the claw shadows.

Belial kicked forward with his right leg; Qi Ming seized the chance to strike his hamstring, then followed with another kick to Belial's left hamstring.

Struck hard, Belial collapsed to his knees from pain.

Qi Ming mocked: "After kneeling to Ampela, then to Raybrondo, now you're kneeling to me too?"

"I'll never forgive you!" Belial lunged at Gao Si with even fiercer fury, launching a barrage of kicks.

Qi Ming dodged nimbly, then struck with a straight right punch; Belial instinctively blocked, but Qi Ming instantly flicked his finger, striking Belial's grotesque eye.

"Ugh!" Belial screamed in pain; Qi Ming followed with a rapid series of hooks, then leapt upward with a flying kick, sending Belial flying backward to roll several times on the ground.

"You've been knocked down—how pathetic." Qi Ming pressed on, relentless in his taunts.

If only Belial could faint from rage.

Belial sprang up with a fish leap: "I haven't lost—I'll crush every one of you who looks down on me!"

"The one who looks down on you most… is yourself!" Qi Ming charged forward, a straight right punch followed by a high left sweep; after pushing Belial back, he delivered three consecutive elbow strikes to Belial's face, leaving him writhing in agony.

"What nonsense are you spouting? You're destined to be my stepping stones—I'll become King of the Galaxy!" Belial swung a right hook straight at Qi Ming's face, but Qi Ming ducked and executed a scorpion tail kick, striking Belial's head again.

"You can't even take two words without screaming like a child—do you even have the mental fortitude?" Qi Ming pressed his advantage with a series of knee strikes, then smashed an elbow into Belial's back, followed by a downward right leg chop that sent Belial crashing down once more.

"Tell me—based on your knowledge of Ultraman Father, if he were insulted like this, would he collapse like you?" Qi Ming asked.

Belial, about to rise and fight again, froze.

After unconsciously pondering Qi Ming's question, his soul was struck again.

Seeing his reaction, Qi Ming said: "It seems you already have your answer."

Speaking, Gao Si gathered light energy in both wrists and fired the three-crescent-shaped destruction blade.

This was Gao Si's ultimate technique: 【Eclipse Blade】!

Struck, Belial flew backward again; barely struggling to his feet, he faced Gao Si's strongest ultimate technique—【Kzium Ray】!

A golden stream of light erupted; Belial was hit and blasted hundreds of meters away, collapsing onto the ground. "You lost." Qi Ming stood tall, watching Belial sprawled on the ground.

On the surface, he radiated the aura of a master; inwardly, he kept muttering how incredibly durable Belial was.

"Didn't even pierce his body? After all those hits, he's still alive—this guy's base is absurdly strong."

He had previously wondered if the 【Kzium Ray】's automatic evil-detection could eradicate Raybrondo's soul and restore Belial to his original White Belial state.

But now, he realized he'd been overthinking.

The soul of the Ultimate Lifeform Raybrondo Star Man is immortal—even Ultraman King couldn't destroy it, only seal it in the Cosmic Prison.

After enduring so many attacks, Belial lay motionless for a long while.

Lost… I lost to some random guy who appeared out of nowhere…

Not only was his body half-destroyed, his mind was already showing signs of withdrawal.

"Won! Senior Qi Ming defeated Belial!" Uru observed and shouted in excitement.

"He actually… won!" Imaginary Saiwen, witnessing this, was equally astonished.

When Qi Ming said he'd accompany them to fight Belial, he'd assumed it was a near-certain death mission.

Yet Qi Ming had surpassed darkness and defeated Belial.

Tregear watched this scene and began another mental storm.

Indeed, darkness isn't necessarily evil—this Mr. Qi Ming used brutally insulting language, yet his goal was justice's victory. It seems light and darkness can transform into each other…

After defeating Belial, Qi Ming walked toward the plasma core resonating with the Arbitrary Key.

But the next moment, sudden chaos erupted.

A beam of interwoven black, blue, and white electric destruction light descended from the sky, striking Eclipse Gao Si.

The instant Qi Ming sensed danger, he recoiled sharply—but still caught the residual wave, his bloodline destabilizing instantly.

"Another enemy… who?!" Qi Ming snapped his head up; a dark figure descended from above, landing beside Belial.

It was… Dark Tregear from Ultraman Taiga!

"You… the one who broke into the Cosmic Prison and gave me the Ultimate Battle Device." Belial said upon seeing the newcomer.

Qi Ming: "!"

In this world, was it Tregear who released Dark Belial?

Tregear and Belial—the only two Dark Ultramen since the birth of the Land of Light—had allied?

"Who are you!" Hikari demanded.

"Oh? Commander Hikari, you can't even recognize my voice?" Dark Tregear said: "I'm Tregear—Ultraman Tregear."

"What…?" White Tregear froze upon hearing this.

——————————————

It's getting harder to write—Tregear's speech patterns and his interactions with Belial are so hard to mimic.

I don't know if I can finish Chapter 2 before two a. m.

By the way, it's best to read this chapter on Qidian—the author included a series of animated GIFs in the chapter notes.

Lastly, to clarify for some readers how Qi Ming won: Qi Ming's reflexes far exceed Belial's + targeted vital strikes + provoked opponent into breaking formation + disarmed weapon then brutal close combat.

Even under these conditions, he still couldn't land a fatal blow—otherwise Qi Ming wouldn't have rushed straight for the plasma core the moment Belial fell, instead of finishing him off (he'd have expended all his energy and still couldn't kill Belial).
