Chapter 555: Different World Story (VIII)
Before entering the fourth dimension, Castor had little idea about the place that "swallowed" Zero. His only impression actually came from the original work.
That is to say, after struggling for an unknown period of time, Zero finally succeeded in transforming into a glorious form. With the glorious form as the origin, he reversed time and finally escaped from the predicament.

The scene in the original novel is still very impressive, but it is precisely because of this impressive scene that Castor subconsciously thought that the so-called fourth dimension was only as big as the hole that Zero fell into.

But in fact, when Castor entered the fourth dimension, he realized that it was not the case. It was like a two-dimensional person in a mirror. If he only looked at the three-dimensional world in a "picture", he would think that the world was only as big as the "picture".
Limited by the differences in perception forms between different dimensions, when he really came in, Castor realized that this place was still very large, at least it was not something that could be seen from the end at a glance.

This was actually Masaki Keigo's fault, because he was too curious about the Earth in this world, so he didn't actually explain clearly what the fourth dimension was like.
He can indeed open the gate of the fourth dimension at any location near where Zero is and bring Zero out, but this is closer to another thing.
It is like a 2D person entering the 2D world through a mirror and then coming out from another place thousands of miles away.
It is something that seems to have no logic, but it conforms to the rules between different dimensions.

Gagra, who was forcibly "stuffed" with a bunch of void energy by Castor, successfully relied on this energy to complete his gigantic growth. He walked towards the direction of Zero that he perceived, while constantly using his sword to open up a path forward, and kept cursing Masaki Keigo and Castor.

He felt that he had been fooled. During his interactions with Masaki Keigo and Castor, he discovered for the first time that Asuka Shin was not that bad. At least, he had completely turned into an Ultra Warrior and was "attacking" him in the Ultra Warrior's way.

He had some doubts. If Asuka Shin had chosen to attack him in a 'human' way, would he have been completely broken-hearted and turned into an emotionless killer?

After all, humans are really good when they are good, just like his friends and subordinates in the armory.
However, when humans become evil, they are really not human, especially those who can become Ultra Warriors but still say they are human every day.
They are the worst!
Gagra's mumbling continued, but it was obvious that Castor had no reaction to this level of "verbal attack" from others. In his eyes, Gagra's attack power was not even as good as that of a random aunt on the street on Earth.

Of course, the combat effectiveness level of the aunties on the street in this regard is indeed at the ceiling level.

"Castor, we're almost there, but before that, let's do that again." Gagra was walking, and suddenly stopped. Castor, who had turned into a giant again, looked at Gagra, not quite understanding what he meant.
Gagula didn't say much, but simply moved aside, revealing a large mass of indescribable and strange energy not far away.

This thing is bigger than the ball of "nothingness" that Castor stuffed into Gagula's body before, and it seems to have some instincts, but it probably hasn't reached that stage yet if it has any self-awareness.
This ball of energy kept flickering, disappearing from the spot after each flicker, and then reappearing in another place without any warning.

Gagra silently put away his Snake Heart Sword, and then said to Castor, "This should be the state after a lot of energy is gathered. If possible, after absorbing this ability, I won't have to worry about the problem of huge energy for a long time."

His voice was trembling and serious. It was obvious that the feeling of stuffing "nothingness" into his body was not very good. But the problem was that rather than feeling uncomfortable, Gagra hoped to gain some improvement in combat power at the moment. He said to Castor,
"I just thought about it and I think what you said makes sense. If that Zeta is Zero's student, even if it's just to support that idiot Haruki, I have to gain some greater power so that that arrogant guy Zero can face my existence."

Castor looked at Gagra with some surprise. He did know that Gagra had deep feelings for Haruki, but he didn't expect that Gagra was willing to do this for Haruki.
Without asking any more questions, looking at the serious look in Gagra's demon state, Castor nodded silently, then unfolded a larger Meta field, wrapped the ball of nothingness, and without waiting for the other party to attack, he directly stuffed it into Gagra's body.

A painful wail came out of Gagula's mouth. Castor did not hesitate to use Meta's Domain to drag the two people into the "domain" created by his body.

Here, Gagra can use his special ability to convert energy more safely. However, if he fails here, both Gagra's body and Castor's body will be impacted at the same time, and both of them will lose the ability to fight at once.

Fortunately, the Meta Domain will not be weakened so quickly as long as it is not interfered with by those people from the Zhaji lineage, and Castor can still maintain the stability of this venue.

Not to mention Jagger, he has transformed into a monster and a demon, he has climbed to the top of a warrior, and he has also burned in the flames.
At a certain moment, he actually felt that the energy that was stuffed into his body this time seemed to start to devour him. He even vaguely heard a "laughter from the void" in his ears.
If it were someone else, or some other inexperienced young warrior, they would probably lose their minds all of a sudden and be swallowed up by the reverse.

But Gagra was different. He directly drew out the Snake Heart Sword and stabbed his arm hard. As a sharp pain came, Gagra not only did not lose consciousness, but his consciousness became clearer.

He once again regained control of his body. As his body began to use that energy to rapidly heal itself, his chest began to rise and fall.

After a while, Castor ended the Meta Field, and Gagra adapted to the energy of his body again and began to walk slowly forward.

At the same time, in the deepest part of the fourth dimension, a figure was shouting while constantly fighting against the strange energy around him.

His voice was full of helplessness and anger, as if he was ashamed of his own embarrassment at the moment.

Yes, this person has a blue cape behind his back and his name is called Cero.

In fact, what made him embarrassed was not only his current situation, but also something he was not willing to admit, which was that he actually thought of a way to break free, that is, to transform into a glorious form, and then reverse time to leave here.

But the problem was that in such a stressful and unexpected environment, he found that he was unable to maintain his inner state and complete the change of form.

Unlike ordinary transformations, this form of Shining Zero is
On the one hand, it is a 'transitional' posture, which is the prelude to Ultra Glorious Zero's strongest posture.

On the other hand, this is also a posture that symbolizes Ultraman Zero's growth. It is the most "idealistic" posture among all Ultraman Zero's postures.

This posture is the product of his inner struggle after he was possessed by Belia and turned into Dark Zero.

At that moment, he had been completely devoured by Belia and entered darkness. However, under the cries and encouragement of his companions' souls and the "reminder" of Pigmon, the light in his heart was rekindled, and he once again realized what he had to "protect".
The unique "idealism" of the Ultraman family, the power that erupted due to some positive emotions and certain thoughts, pulled him out of the darkness again.

His body changed under the power of "idealism". The color of his body was based on gold and silver. His eyes and beam lights were blue. There were golden lines on his chest and shoulders. The color timer also became a five-sided diamond-like shining energy core because it was integrated with the Ultimate Bracelet.

This is a symbol of his integration with the Ultimate Bracelet that possesses the power of Noah.
In this posture, Zero's energy will be drastically consumed, but Zero, who possesses the two powers of 'Idealism' and 'Noah', also has the ability to manipulate time by manipulating celestial bodies, as well as the possibility of becoming the more powerful 'Ultimate Radiant Zero'.

But just like every "idealistic" power, this kind of power cannot be used casually, even though Zero can now transform into the more powerful "Ultimate Radiant Zero".
Because, if something like "idealism" is shaken a little bit, it will lose its miraculous brilliance.

The appearance of Shining Zero is actually very similar to that of Shining Tiga. It first appeared in Zero's heart and then appeared in reality.

In the battle of the mind with Belia, Zero expelled Belia's soul, took back his body, and then used up all the energy of the Shining Star Drive to reverse time and space.
Most people would think that it was just like changing his posture normally, and after that, Zero had mastered this ability.

But in fact, it is not the case at all, because in that change, perhaps because of exhaustion of energy, or perhaps because miracles are miracles, they cannot be repeated so easily,
In short, after that, Zero was completely unable to remember this form, let alone know how to use it.

At this point, I have to insert another little story that not many people know about. (This is a story in Tsuburaya's official novel. I forgot what it is called. It is set to happen after the incident with Zero and his team Belial, but because it involves time, it is somewhat related to the Parker Crisis).

In order to try to master the power of "Glorious Zero", he began to search the universe for things related to the power of time. However, the power of time is not so easy to obtain. For a long time, Zero got nothing.
Then, one day, Zero and his teammates encountered a very strange day. Let's call this day "Day X".
On the day of 'Day X', he and his teammates encountered a very strange enemy 'Object X'. Although it had the appearance of a 'human', its entire body was extremely smooth, like a mirror, without any features, and it was impossible to distinguish the front and the back, and even felt no sense of life - 'Object X'

In the fight against "Object X", Zero was helped by an even stranger "Traveler X", from whom he learned about the existence of a very strange "Time Vortex".

Let's call this incident "Event X" for now.

After that, he went through some exploration again. Like a coincidence, or as if it was predetermined, he got the opportunity to be tested. In the hands of someone who was not sure whether it was the guardian of time or the guardian of the "vortex of time", he completed an inner test, and after the test, he once again became a glorious figure.
Yes, unlike Castor, who directly changed the universe but did not need to be tested by the universe,

Theoretically, even in a place like the Okunoki Universe where the settings are messed up, time is not such a random thing, and there is something that can be called a "time guardian".
This may be the reason why Torrekia can use "time" but only chooses to "watch", and Tartarus can also tamper with "time" but can only "summon" parallel space-time isotopes or "dead people".
Although they have some time abilities, they are unwilling to confront some "mysterious" "order" or "existence" in the universe, or they cannot find a reason to confront such existence.

Back to the topic, in short, Zero has mastered the posture of Shining Zero in the Time Guardian and the Time Vortex.
Then, he learned one thing from the 'Guardian of Time', that is, this 'Guardian of Time' was actually just a spiritual being, and his body was affected by an impact in the future that was enough to cause a huge explosion in time.
The collapse of the universe was stopped by a powerful life form, but the impact still separated the spirit and body of the "Guardian of Time".
A long time later, Zero knew that the crisis was the Impak Crisis, but Zero didn't know it at the time.
In short, Zero received a very strange mission, to go back to the past and retrieve the body of the 'Guardian of Time'.

The specific manifestation of this task is that he has to go back to the past 'day X', and when his past self and teammates were fighting against 'object X', which is the 'body of the time guardian', as 'traveler X', he has to help his past self, and then guide his past self to find a place called 'time vortex' after 'event X' is over.

Yes, there was a "time loop" story that happened to Zero, which only he himself knew for sure.

Now, let's go back to the fourth dimension and look at Zero who is trapped here. For him, that trial was a long, long time ago.

No one knows the story of that complicated time trial, and naturally no one knows the most important thing that Zero gained from that trial.
In that time vortex, Zero found his earliest memory, which was the scene of his birth in the dazzling light of the Kingdom of Light.

A pair of warm hands held him in their arms. The warmth from the arms also told him the deep affection of the person holding him.

Next to the person holding him, there was a pair of eyes, looking at him with love.
Yes, this is the inner anchor point that enables Zero to transform into a glorious form. He found the initial warmth in the vortex of time.

This is also where his "idealistic" power begins, the "warm" power. However, in the fourth dimension, the impact of countless harmful substances in the universe made it impossible for him to calm down and trace the "warm" power from the depths of his heart.

He kept trying, trying to keep his body stable while looking for inner strength.
Zero has done very well, and it can be seen that he has grown a lot compared to his original self, but it can still be felt that he is still not that experienced in such a special environment.

He tried to give up control of his body and look directly for inner strength, but he failed because the body and spirit cannot be completely separated.

However, if someone could have observed Zero from beginning to end, they would have realized that his posture and the stability of the light particles in his body were constantly improving.

Obviously, as long as he keeps trying, sooner or later he will be able to find that moment of balance and break out of the fourth dimension.

Suddenly, Zero felt something strange. He sensed a familiar yet strange energy fluctuation coming from afar.

He quickly ended his attempt to transform into a glorious form, he decisively restrained his breath, focused all his attention on his body, moved behind a mass of cosmic harmful matter, hid himself, and slowly, he saw two figures connected by a chain of light, and then walked towards him.

The moment Zero saw the light chain, he wanted to rush out, but the next second, he decisively chose to continue hiding.
Because his brain had frozen, he thought he might have stayed in the fourth dimension for too long and his brain was broken.

He muttered to himself, "Gagurula has the aura of 'Grizza', and Nexus has a hint of darkness for some reason, and even the 'flavor' of Belia. Am I finally driven crazy by the fourth dimension?"

Yes, ordinary people can't see the "smell" of Belia on Castor, especially Red Card, he is not even familiar with Belia, but how can Zero be an ordinary person? His body has been invaded by Belia.
Hongka himself is a man of integrity. Apart from the Dark Ruler and Sophia, he has never come into contact with any messy things.
However, as a person who had been registered by the Bat Card and the Blue Card, although he had not had much contact with those things, he was still influenced by some of their elements, such as Dark Lucifer, the Emperor, and Belia.

Zero held his breath and concentrated. He felt as if he had discovered some big secret, a big secret related to the legend.

Gagula kept waving the Snake Heart Sword, sensing the surrounding atmosphere. He said, "It should be nearby, but this is probably where Bruton lives. The density of harmful substances in the universe is the highest, so it may be difficult to find someone."

Castor did not refute. In his perception, the surroundings seemed to be covered by fog, and it was difficult for him to perceive other things.
Maybe after adapting for a period of time he would be able to sense everything around him, but not now. It was as if he was simultaneously enveloped in a series of complex and different perceptions such as dampness, drought, stench, fragrance, heat and cold. Castor's perception system was somewhat disordered.

The more perceptive Gargula suddenly stopped, looked around like a snake, and said, "I sense malice."

After hearing what Gagula said, Castor calmed down. The two of them stood side by side, back to back, and began to be alert to their surroundings, sensing the complex messages coming from all directions.

"That guy should have been nearby before. I felt his light particles." Gagula said in a low voice, and Castor nodded. Although he had not adapted to the surrounding environment, he could still distinguish the particles of light.

Just when Castor was about to do something, suddenly, Gagula shouted loudly, "Come out, I see you!"

From the chain of light connecting the two, Castor clearly realized that Gagra saw nothing. Just as he was about to taunt him, a voice suddenly came.
"Impossible!! How did you find me?! You can't adapt to the environment here so quickly!!"

Casto:
No, is that all that's needed? The Kingdom of Light is indeed worthy of its reputation!

Gagra: Hehe
Sure enough, no matter how many years have passed, no matter which Ultra Warrior it is, the Kingdom of Light is still the Kingdom of Light.
Zero came out from somewhere. Castor looked at Zero. He could see that although Zero looked a little embarrassed, his condition was actually okay. Even in the worst environment where Bruton lived, he was still able to hold on and was not corroded by harmful substances in the universe.

The giant Gagra looked at the alert Zero in front of him, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said with a smile, "I understand, Zero, we are here to save you, but you actually want to sneak attack us, is this how you Ultraman fight?"

Zero, who had been keeping calm, was broken down by what Gagra said. He shouted, "You are 20,000 years too early to fool me!
The strange energy in you, Gagra, and the Nexus beside you who is eroded by darkness!
Everything shows that there is something wrong with you! You"

"Don't be nervous, Zero." Castor said, "The Kingdom of Light's spaceship has already stopped outside to accumulate power. You should know that the system of the Kingdom of Light's spaceship can lock onto the light particle fluctuations transmitted by the fourth-dimensional force, and the energy of the Kingdom of Light's spaceship is also enough to open the fourth dimension."

"How should I know?" Zero was stunned for a moment, then shouted in dissatisfaction, "Who would understand this?"

Casto:
That makes sense. I almost forgot. This is an illiterate person!

Seeing that Castor didn't say anything, Zero looked at Gagra. Although Gagra was a man of both good and evil and had a very mixed reputation, he had indeed fought side by side with Gagra.

When Gagra saw Zero looking at him, he said silently, "Zeta is your student, right? He went to Earth and became one with my subordinates. Now I am the captain of the Earth Defense Force."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a chuckle from Castor beside him. Gagula was about to get angry, but suddenly, he reacted.

He recalled his experience with the Ultra Clan. In fact, he often dealt with the Ultra Clan, but in 99% of the cases, he would suddenly turn against them at some point.

Sighing, Gagra looked at Zero and said, "Believe it or not, I am now the captain of the Earth Defense Force, and we are here to save you."

"Wait, you said you found me using the Kingdom of Light's spaceship, so how did you get the Kingdom of Light's spaceship?"

Gagra was stunned for a moment, then silently looked at Castor, who scratched his head, "If... If I said that it was Tregear who went to the Kingdom of Light and stole the spaceship, would you think it was a bit fake?"

Zero nodded silently, then took a step back and said disdainfully, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Tregear is dead. Even if he wasn't dead, do you think he would sneak into the Kingdom of Light to steal a spaceship, modify it, and then fly it openly in the universe?
You tell me that Tregear did so much just to save me, do you think I will believe it? "

"Well, if I say that he was actually trying to make fun of you, would you think that this story is more complete?" Castor said silently, "Also, he didn't drive a spaceship to find you. In fact, the person who modified the spaceship and drove the spaceship to find you. I don't know if you know him. His name is Masaki Keigo."

Zero thought for a moment, and then his expression became more complicated. He looked at Nexus in front of him, "Are you taking me for a fool? Masaki Keigo? The last time I heard this name was when Senior Dyna was telling the story of their planet.
When the incident with Masaki Keigo happened, Dyna-senpai was still a child."

Castor is very good at communicating with people, at least with light, but it can be seen that Zero is not that kind of person to communicate.

Gagula thought for a moment, then walked to Castor and whispered, "Your Noah's Light should be very strong, show it, at least tell him what you are."

Castor hesitated for a moment. Noah probably didn't want to talk to him right now. However, his eyes suddenly fell on Cero. After thinking for a while, he threw a chain of light particles at Cero. Before Cero could react, he followed the breath of the Paraji Shield on Cero's body and whispered, "Hey, hey, hey? Great God Noah? Can you hear me?"

Zero originally planned to react, but after hearing what Nexus said, he resisted the urge to act. He planned to wait and see what kind of changes would happen.
A while passed and nothing happened.

Just when Zero felt that he was being fooled again, suddenly, a shocking scene happened. A deafening sound rang in the minds of the three people at the same time, because of the chain of light that Castor connected to the other two.
"Casto!! I'm telling you!! If you're looking for another line to call me!!! You're dead!! Do you know how busy I am right now because of you!!!!?!!!"

The 'roar from the sky' seemed to last only a moment, but the dizziness in the three people's minds lasted for a very long time.

After a while, when Zero finally came to his senses, he looked at Nexus, who was called Castor by the "Great God Noah", and looked at him as if he were a "monster". He asked uncertainly, "What on earth are you?"

"What are you looking at? I'm a human! I'm a person from another universe who has obtained the Light of Noah!!"

Gagara interrupted Castor's words. He looked at Zero and said very seriously, "Don't think that the word 'human' is a good thing. I must change the thinking of you Ultraman. People are divided into different types. If the person you like is a 'good person', he is that kind."

"Bad guy?" Zero said subconsciously.

"Haha, if he's a bad guy, forget it. He's probably some kind of patient."
