Chapter 110: You’re Useless When Given a Chance

"If you are afraid, stand aside."

Qiao Zhe reached out to push Komon out of the way, his gaze fixed on the dark giant looming behind him. Komon, still bewildered by the turn of events, turned his head and felt his pupils contract sharply. Unlike the space beasts he had encountered before, what stood before him now was a black and red giant. That aura of darkness was the very source of the unease he had been sensing for the past few days!

Komon’s hand, gripping the Dite Blaster, could not help but tremble. Unlike the space beasts, this dark giant gave him a sense of overwhelming power that felt impossible to contend with. Yet, at that same moment, his intuition told him that the man beside him possessed an equally unfathomable aura—one that made him feel as though he could not even meet his gaze.

'This aura, the exact opposite of darkness... it’s so powerful. Who on earth is he?'

Komon recalled the warning transmitted by the Operations Command Center while he was outside the factory. The center had mentioned individuals with special abilities, but if this man was so powerful, why hadn't he joined the Night Raiders?

At this moment, Dark Mephisto stood only about a dozen meters tall, clearly not yet fully giantified. It looked toward Qiao Zhe, its voice low and tinged with contempt: "A meddlesome fool has arrived. Komon, do not resist the desires within your heart."

Even as it prepared to leave, it did not forget to tempt Komon. Dark Mephisto’s body began to fade; it had no intention of engaging Qiao Zhe in combat. However, Qiao Zhe had no intention of letting it go.

"A petty trick dares to challenge a master! Star Platinum!"

*Whoosh!*

It was as if time had stopped. A purple phantom flashed instantly, and Star Platinum manifested directly in front of Dark Mephisto!

"ORA!!!"

With a destructive force capable of leveling a skyscraper in a single punch, Star Platinum slammed its fist into Dark Mephisto’s face! The strike interrupted the giant's teleportation skill, sending its entire body flying sideways to crash into the wall.

"Urgh!" Dark Mephisto was caught completely off guard, its head buzzing violently from the impact.

The factory wall collapsed upon impact, and as Dark Mephisto fell to the ground, it stared at Qiao Zhe with a look of shock. Komon was left dumbfounded. He knew this man would be strong, but he had never imagined he would be this formidable. One moment, he hadn't understood what was happening, and the next, the dark giant had been sent flying. While he stood there in shock, he suddenly felt his feet leave the ground, as if an invisible force had hoisted him up.

His neck was gripped painfully. By the time Komon recovered his senses, he found himself outside the factory. Not far away lay the dark giant that had been struck down.

However, Dark Mephisto had no time to spare for Komon. Its black eyes were fixed on the direction of the collapsed factory wall, where dust and smoke billowed.

"You, what exactly are you!"

Mephisto was confused. It had never expected the power of light to be this overwhelming. The opponent hadn't even transformed! Interestingly, Mephisto viewed humans as puppets to be toyed with, much like it had been designed by Zagi. In Mephisto’s own perception, Zagi did not exist; it believed itself to be the shadow side of light. It believed that its existence was only made possible because others had chosen to become light. Its purpose in tempting Komon was because Komon had been chosen by the light; it needed Komon’s innate talent to strengthen its own dark powers.

Footsteps echoed from within the swirling dust. A transformation device appeared on Qiao Zhe’s wrist, and a Y-shaped energy core manifested on his chest. It was not the mark of a Dunamist, but rather his own body flickering between the forms of an Ultraman and a human. Ever since his fusion level with the Light of the Sky had increased, Qiao Zhe’s physical form had grown closer and closer to that of an Ultraman.

"Truly disgusting evil."

A Y-shaped light shone through the dust, beaming like a high-intensity spotlight. "Toying with others for your own ends, controlling them at will, turning people into puppets to be manipulated!"

*Thump—thump—*

With heavy, rhythmic footsteps, the silver giant emerged from the dust. His stance was slightly unorthodox, his bulbous eyes fixed coldly on Mephisto as he raised a finger. "But! Your evil ends here!"

On the sidelines, Komon watched the appearance of another giant, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly agape.

'This aura... it's that man from before!'

Looking up at the silver giant, the shock in his heart was beyond words. A human, actually capable of taking on this form! Komon felt no oppressive, deep darkness from this giant; instead, it was an aura that radiated pure light.

"Evil?" Mephisto stood up from the ground and suddenly burst into a wild laugh. "Hahahaha! You are wrong!"

A wave of dark energy surged outward, and the surrounding scenery shifted instantly as the Dark Phase Space unfolded! It was a Dark Field, equivalent to a Meta Field!

Inside the Dark Field, the abilities of dark giants and space beasts were enhanced, while the Giant of Light could not utilize its full power.

"Urgh, my head hurts!" Komon clutched his head in agony, collapsing to the ground. Being pulled into the phase space for the first time, the intense discomfort caused him to gasp and squeeze his eyes shut in pain.

As for this Dark Field, Jojo merely glanced at it with indifference.

Mephisto, now that it held the home-field advantage, believed victory was within its grasp. "To lose is evil; to win is justice! The process is irrelevant; only the one who survives to the end is the victor!"

As it spoke, its body suddenly swelled, growing into a fifty-meter giant! However, as soon as Mephisto finished its growth, it realized the Giant of Light opposite it was also growing in size! It was as if the Dark Field had no effect on him at all!

Jojo’s body towered to sixty meters. He raised an arm and beckoned to Mephisto with a curl of his fingers.

"Posturing!" Mephisto sneered. Its right hand gathered dark energy, releasing a Dark Grenade destructive beam!

As the purple energy projectile streaked toward him, Jojo simply raised a hand and clenched his fist, absorbing the destructive beam into his arm! The next moment, he condensed his own light energy and flung it at Mephisto.

The speed of the counterattack was so swift that Mephisto had not even lowered its arm yet. The projectile, converted from a surging ray, struck Mephisto squarely in the chest, sending it flying backward instantly!

"I gave you a chance, but you couldn't take it."

Seeing how clumsy his opponent was, Jojo muttered some trash talk while gathering energy in his arms to manifest a Meta Field! The reason he hadn't opened a field earlier was because in such spaces, whoever opens one first is susceptible to having their phase space invaded by another.

The pitch-black Dark Field suddenly saw golden energy emerge at the edges of the sky! The Meta Field was invading the Dark Field!

When Mephisto stood up, it immediately realized it was being suppressed. Its face filled with panic as it looked around; the Dark Field had already taken on the appearance of a Meta Field. Without Komon acting as its dark Dunamist, Mephisto’s combat experience was no better than that of someone who didn't know how to fight.
