Light Curtain Comments—
Seeing Belial fall to the ground, his fighting ability completely lost, the audience across the infinite dimensions erupted in cheers.
Although the sense of pressure Belial gave off was nothing compared to the Dark Universe Great Emperor, Alien Empera, he was still an incredibly powerful dark Ultra Warrior.
If he wasn't eliminated here, he would surely cause some disgusting trouble from the shadows later. Therefore, from the audience's perspective, the only good Belial was a dead Belial!
Great Filial Son Geed: "Excellent! Father has been defeated! This means they can successfully resurrect the Father of Ultra! Once the Father of Ultra is back at full strength, plus Mebius Infinity and Ultimate/Destruction-Zero, that's a whole three ultimate-class warriors!"
In the world of Ultraman Geed, Riku Asakura was ecstatic, pumping his fists as if his favorite team had just scored a goal.
That villainous Belial was finally down. Hopefully, he wouldn't get up again. After committing such sins, no one could give him another chance.
As he watched the screen, Riku's excitement gradually calmed, and his hands lowered. After all, he was still Belial's son. Even knowing his father deserved death, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.
Ace Pilot of the Death Squad: "I don't know why, maybe I'm just more sensitive, but Mebius Infinity, are you sure you don't need to land a finishing blow? What if Belial isn't dead? Wouldn't that be a problem?"
Himouto Umaru-chan: "Exactly! So many anime and movies have tragedies happen because someone didn't secure the kill! Finish him off now, don't give him a single chance to fight back!"
Flame-Head Captain: "That... is a bit much. Although we despise what Belial has done, we would never flog a corpse after he has fallen. Such an act is not permitted in the Space Garrison."
Father of Ultra: "That's right. I can sense that Belial is completely defeated and has no strength left to fight. There is no need to expend any more energy."
Universal Emperor Belial: "That's not necessarily true, Ken! This great one will not be defeated so easily!"
---o---
[Within the deep spatial barrier, the husk of the Father of Ultra stood tall upon the land.
Although his consciousness had faded, his well-tempered body still radiated a powerful energy of light.
His residual energy was still maintaining the barrier's operation. Even in death, the Father of Ultra was protecting the Earth's life in his own way!
"Great Captain..."
The Ultra Brothers gathered before their father, using the miraculous Ultra Water Flow to cleanse the grime from his body.
Without its support, the Father of Ultra's body slumped powerlessly to the ground. Taro rushed to catch him, cradling him in his arms.
"Father..."
Looking at the completely dimmed Color Timer, endless sorrow filled Taro's eyes.
"The Great Captain's life signs are completely gone. He's dead. However, Hikari's Life Solidification Technology is still in effect. As long as we seven brothers gather our energy, we can resurrect him!" Ultraman said to his brothers as he scanned the Father of Ultra's body.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's revive him now!" Ace's powerful voice rang out. He gently laid the Father of Ultra's body on the ground, preparing to inject energy into him.
But just then, Taro stopped him. "Wait. The Great Captain is different from ordinary Ultra Warriors. Because of his Ultra Horns and his own immense power, the energy required to resurrect him far exceeds what we brothers can bear."
"If the core of the Plasma Spark Tower were here, the Sacred Light from it could easily cover this cost. But... in our current situation, I'm afraid we would completely exhaust our own energy and still fail to revive the Great Captain!"
Ultraman Taro lowered his head, seemingly frustrated by his own weakness.
As the biological son of the Father of Ultra, it could be said that he was the most desperate to see his father revived.
However, the sun had only just recovered from the darkness, and the energy it could provide them was limited.
The Swarm Disaster in the universe was not yet resolved. The 180 trillion Ultras of the Land of Light were still waiting for rescue, and countless civilizations were struggling between life and death. With every passing second, countless people suffered. The energy they had borrowed from their human hosts was ultimately finite.
If they succeeded in reviving the Father of Ultra, that would be one thing. But if they exhausted themselves and still failed, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"So we can only stand here and watch?" Jack sighed upon hearing Taro's words.
Mebius looked at his older brothers, then his gaze fell upon Zoffy. "Brother Zoffy, you should be the one to decide!"
At his words, all the Ultra Brothers turned their eyes to Zoffy.
As the current Captain of the Space Garrison and the eldest of the Ultra Brothers, his authority was unquestionable.
Hearing Mebius, Zoffy thought for a moment, then spoke to his younger brothers. "What Taro described is the worst-case scenario. We must have faith. Faith in the Great Captain's will, and in Zero and the others!"
"The Space Garrison cannot be without the Great Captain's presence. Only he can truly lead the Land of Light to victory once more!"
The rampaging Swarm, the self-proclaimed Ultimate Lifeform Absolutians, and other threats from beyond the cosmos... this crisis had completely surpassed the invasion of Alien Empera from thirty thousand years ago. Without the Father of Ultra at the helm, Zoffy had no confidence in victory.
Hearing Zoffy's decision, the Ultra Brothers all nodded in agreement. They then raised their right hands, aiming their palms at the chest of the Father of Ultra lying on the ground.
Immediately after, countless particles of light drifted down from the brothers' hands, injecting into the Father of Ultra's body like sunlight.
At that moment, the Father of Ultra's body began to slowly reawaken. A faint light seemed to appear in his once-dimmed Color Timer, and his vacant eyes began to flicker.
"Father of Ultra..."
Behind the Ultra Brothers stood Rei, his face grim.
This was the first time he had ever seen the Father of Ultra. It was also the first time he had ever seen an Ultraman's 'corpse.'
"Will it work?"
Rei asked in his heart. He had clearly heard what Taro had just said.
As a wielder of Alien Rayblood's genes, he could clearly feel the immense power of the Father of Ultra. Even in death, this astonishing light would still strike fear into countless monsters and dark beings.
RUMBLE... RUMBLE!!!
As Rei was lost in thought, the ground suddenly began to tremble as if some mechanism had been triggered. The interior of the barrier began to roar, and the entire sky looked as if it were about to collapse.
Rei nearly lost his footing, dropping to one knee as he looked up at the sky.
"Is that... the souls... of the monsters?" Rei's eyes widened in shock.
In the sky above the barrier, the souls of the hundred monsters and aliens that Mebius Infinity and Gomora had just destroyed had coalesced out of thin air.
Their ghostly blue souls floated in the air as if answering some call, roaring in unison, their voices filled with resentment and killing intent.
"What is this!?" The Ultra Brothers, in the middle of reviving their father, were also stunned. They looked up at the sky, their faces masks of disbelief.
They all snapped their gazes toward the fallen Belial. A ghostly blue light was now rising from Belial's body, intertwining with the malevolent dark red energy within him.
"Could it be!?"
"This is impossible!"
"Belial was completely lifeless! He should be dead!"
"The souls of monsters? This isn't the Monster Graveyard, why would something like this happen!?"
The Ultra Brothers questioned one after another, endless confusion rising in their hearts.]

Light Curtain Comments—
The audience across the infinite dimensions was just as clueless as the Ultra Brothers in the video.
Weren't the monsters all dead? Almost all of them had been wiped out by one of Mebius's attacks, and the few that remained had been killed by Rei's Gomora.
Why had they reappeared now, and as souls no less?
Furthermore, what was this anomaly with Belial? Was he going to come back to life?
Just moments ago in the comments, the Father of Ultra had confidently stated that Belial was completely defeated and had no fighting ability left, but what was happening now was a resounding slap in the face!
Universal Loiterer Zero: "Belial, what the hell is going on!? What did you do, you gzz!?"
March 7th: "This doesn't make any sense! How can this Belial get a second round? Could it be because he didn't explode when he was defeated?"
Ace Pilot of the Death Squad: "He didn't explode? What does that mean? Does it have something to do with Belial coming back to life?"
Stelle / Galaxy Baseballer: "What March means is, whether it was destroying the Swarm or Alien Empera, they all exploded in the end. Belial went down, but his body is still there. He didn't explode, so maybe that's related..."
Director of the Land of Light Meatpacking Plant: "No, no, that has nothing to do with it. I used to dismember Choju all the time, and I never saw them come back to life even after putting their bodies back together."
Utaha Kasumigaoka: "...As expected of you, Ace-boy! Wait, no, this is the time to call you the 'Cutting Fiend'."
Naruto Uzumaki: "Used to? Does that mean you don't do it anymore? Why not?"
Director of the Land of Light Meatpacking Plant: "Mainly because there are fewer and fewer Choju that don't feel pain, and the universe has entered a new era. Doing that to monsters and aliens is too cruel and sets a bad example for the younger generation. After a while, the Great Captain wouldn't let me do it anymore. But don't worry, with this lesson from the video, the next time I meet Belial, I'll definitely break my vows and have him torn apart by five horses!"
Universal Emperor Belial: "...Ace, is it? Even if your cutting techniques were stronger, this great one wouldn't give you the chance."
---o---
[In the light curtain, a powerful and evil aura began to emanate from deep within Belial's body...
The resentful souls of countless monsters poured into Belial's body. The next moment, the entire ground began to shake violently!
As a strange light flickered over Belial's body, a fierce dark energy burst forth, spreading in all directions. An incomparably colossal body emerged from the darkness and raging fire!!
"Hahahahaha! Ken, I have you to thank! If you hadn't constructed this barrier that not even souls can escape, how could I have successfully used the power of Alien Rayblood to be reborn, and in such a powerful new form!?"
Amidst Belial's laughter and the dissipating flames, the evil and powerful monster was finally revealed to all...
It was a massive, demon-like monster, its entire body composed of over a hundred monsters. And atop this giant beast stood none other than Belial, previously defeated by Mebius Infinity!
The Hundred-Body Monster—Belyudra! That was the monster's name.
In Belyudra's presence, the Ultra Brothers and the others seemed incredibly tiny.
Feeling this unprecedented power, and seeing the Ultra Brothers immobilized as they tried to resurrect the Father of Ultra, Belial once again laughed with wild arrogance!
"Hahahahaha! This great one is truly the strongest! With such immense power, forget about your previous form... the entire universe is now within my grasp!"
Indeed, the current Belial had gone completely insane. After fusing with over a hundred monsters, his power had increased tremendously. Let alone the current Ultra Brothers who were occupied, even if they could form Mebius Infinity again, victory would be difficult to achieve.
"A super monster formed from the fusion of over a hundred monsters?"
"After fusing with such a huge number of monsters, Belial's power has risen by a huge margin!"
"Brother Zoffy, what should we do now!?"
Facing Belyudra, the Ultra Brothers' expressions were grim. They were about to temporarily stop channeling life energy into the Father of Ultra's Color Timer.
But just then, Rei, riding Litra, flew in front of the Ultra Brothers, facing the massive body before them.
"Don't stop! I'll deal with this monster! You continue resurrecting the Father of Ultra!"
"Wait, Rei, you're no match for him!" Seven immediately shouted, trying to stop him as Rei stepped forward.
But Rei just shook his head and said, "The resurrection of an Ultraman cannot be stopped. This is a battle between us Reionics. Don't worry! There's definitely enough time!"
A golden light flashed in his eyes as Rei entered his combat state once more. As the Rayblood energy within him surged, Gomora also evolved into its final EX form, erupting with a stunning aura.
It charged towards Belyudra's massive body!
