"Don't just stand there—attack together!"
Yu Zhou barked the order as he fought Belial, his Ultimate Light Pot clashing violently against the Giga Battlenizer.
Geed and Zero responded instantly, charging forward with their weapons flashing, raining down strikes on the corrupted Ultra.
Belial raised his Battlenizer to block Geed's Royal Megamaster staff. At that moment, Yu Zhou swung his shining pot in a wide arc—clang!—slamming it right against Belial's head.
Belial staggered back, his whole body hurled into the air, and the Battlenizer tumbled from his grip.
But the respite was short-lived. The fallen tyrant pushed himself upright, his claws glowing with black energy as he lunged at the three Ultras.
"Dodge!" Yu Zhou shouted.
He remembered all too well from the original history—Belial's Hell Claws could tear through even the strongest Ultra bodies. In that story, both Geed's Royal Megamaster form and Zero's Ultimate form had been shredded back to their base states.
Zero reacted just in time. But Geed was a half-beat too slow.
"Ugh—!"
Belial's claw pierced Geed's shoulder, ripping through his armor in a burst of sparks.
"Geed!" Yu Zhou and Zero cried out together, horrified. Losing Geed now would make victory nearly impossible.
But Geed grit his teeth through the pain, forcing his staff forward. With a roar, he struck Belial square in the chest, blasting him away. As Belial's claw withdrew, the young Ultra collapsed back into his Primitive Form. Light leaked endlessly from the wound in his shoulder.
"Zero, hold Belial off—I'll treat him!" Yu Zhou ordered sharply.
Zero nodded and rushed back into the fray, intercepting Belial's charge.
Yu Zhou knelt beside Geed, pressing glowing hands against the gaping wound. Streams of light particles flowed into Geed's shoulder, knitting tissue and armor back together. After a few tense moments, Yu Zhou lifted his hands—the wound was gone.
"Thank you, Yu Zhou," Geed whispered, standing shakily.
But before they could regroup, Zero was hurled down at their feet, his abdomen pierced by Belial's claws.
"Zero!" Yu Zhou's face darkened.
"I'll handle him—you heal Zero," Geed said firmly, gripping his staff tighter before sprinting back into battle.
Yu Zhou blinked. "What am I, a medic now…?" He shook his head, resigned, and turned back to Zero. Healing ability was always part of Tiga's light—Daigo had once healed his own injuries after Gazort's bite. But this wasn't the time for a field clinic.
Still, Yu Zhou pressed his hands over Zero's wound. Light surged once again, sealing the terrible injury.
Meanwhile, Geed shouted as he clashed with Belial, "I'll free you from this darkness!"
Scarlet energy flared from his staff, unleashing a cutting beam. Belial countered instantly with a violet slashing ray. The two beams collided midair—Belial's power tore through, striking Geed and blasting him back.
Then Belial crossed his claws before his chest. "Super Oscillatory Roar!"
A wave of destructive sound erupted.
Geed crossed his arms to retaliate, sending his own oscillatory roar forward. The two soundwaves wrestled for dominance—until Belial's overwhelmed Geed's, hurling him to the ground.
"You're just an experiment," Belial sneered coldly. "I am your father. You will never surpass me. Give up."
Geed trembled but rose to his feet, defiance blazing in his eyes. "I'll never give up. I will restore you—no matter what!"
In that instant, light surged around him. The Ultra Capsules he carried lifted into the air, glowing brilliantly.
Behind him, a vast phantom loomed—the King of Ultra himself.
From that light, five familiar silhouettes appeared, aligning themselves at Geed's side:
Solid Burning Form.
Acro Smasher Form.
Aurora Form.
Magnificent Form.
Royal Megamaster Form.
And standing at their center—Geed's Primitive Form.
"This is… the Proof of Geed?!" Yu Zhou gasped, finishing Zero's treatment. He could feel the iron will burning within Geed's words and heart. Just as in the original story—his conviction summoned every fragment of his power.
"What?!" Belial recoiled, eyes wide. "Six… six Geeds?!"
"Ultras… their strength really does come from the heart," Yu Zhou realized, awe settling in. If the will is strong enough… even the impossible becomes real.
"Let's go!" Primitive Geed cried.
The six Geeds charged together, weaving in and out, their fists, blades, and beams raining down upon Belial. Sparks and flames erupted with every strike, driving him back step by step.
Finally, Belial managed to push them away, creating distance. The six Geeds regrouped in a line, their bodies shining.
"Here we go!"
At the call, each unleashed their ultimate techniques:
"Strike Boost Beam!"
"Atmos Impact Wave!"
"Solriore Light!"
"Big Bustaway Ray!"
"Strium Flasher!"
Six beams of destruction thundered forward.
Belial raised his Battlenizer desperately, shielding himself—but the combined force shattered it to fragments. The beams blasted through, engulfing him in an explosion of light.
Yu Zhou squinted into the glow. "That better not have killed him outright…"
When the radiance cleared, Belial had reverted to his base form, his Atrocious power stripped away.
"No… impossible!" he roared, staggering. "Defeated… by my son?!"
The five supporting forms dissolved, leaving only Primitive Geed.
"Now's our chance!" Geed shouted.
"I'm on it!"
Yu Zhou leapt behind the weakened Belial, locking his arm around the tyrant's throat, pinning him in place. Belial, drained from the onslaught, couldn't break free.
Zero shifted from his Ultimate form into Luna-Miracle.
Geed transformed into Acro Smasher Form, raising his arms. "Smash Moon Healing Beam!"
Zero followed with his "Soul Purifying Wave!"
Their twin lights bathed Belial, forcing his body to convulse. His resistance faltered as the corruption peeled away.
Yu Zhou released him, stepping forward. "Let me add mine."
He unleashed Tiga's own purification light, joining the others. Three beams poured into Belial at once.
Belial writhed on the ground, his body flickering as two souls fought within:
Belial's own.
And the soul of the Reiblood who had corrupted him.
Fukude Kei stared, eyes wide. "So it's true… Belial-sama's body carries the soul of a Reiblood as well!"
"Kei—now!" Yu Zhou shouted.
At once, Kei's body grew, chest glowing with azure radiance. The Sturm Organ within him had activated—the Phase Reversal Organ.
"Belial-sama… return to yourself!" Kei cried.
Belial thrashed, his voice echoing in desperation. "Sturmian… what are you trying to do?!"
