"Come forth, my blade!"
The enormous black alien floated before a dead star and forged a sharp katana from the remains of the extinguished sun itself. That sword was called the Emperor Blade.
The Emperor Blade was unbelievably sharp, able to cut through all things in the universe. Looking across the cosmos, there were only a handful of weapons that could match it. Those that could rival the Emperor Blade in sheer durability were all national treasures of advanced civilizations, things like the Land of Light's ancestral holy sword or Planet U40's Sage's Sword.
"What a blade!"
"But I'm not done yet!"
The dark emperor was in excellent spirits as he looked at the katana in his hand, but this still wasn't enough. He glanced behind himself at the empty space there and felt like something was missing.
"Come forth, my cloak!"
The Emperor shouted. With his transcendent telekinesis, he used the leftover matter from the dead star system and a black hole as his furnace to forge a black cloak. Its name was the Emperor Cloak, and it had the powerful ability to defend against all energy attacks.
"A cloak. The Emperor Blade..."
Only after looking at his cloak and the sword hanging at his waist did the Dark Great Space Emperor Jovian finally relax.
He wasn't like that useless idiot who wore a sword but no cloak, or a cloak but no sword, who seemed to have glue stuck to the soles of his feet and waddled around everywhere, and who was obviously an absurdly powerful heavy-armored warrior yet loved taking off his armor and standing there casting spells like a moron with zero footwork.
He, the Dark Great Space Emperor Jovian, either didn't hit people at all, or if he did, he was going in fully geared. He was going to become this universe's true emperor of darkness.
"Now let me see, where is the first planet I'm going to conquer?"
A smile tugged at Jovian's lips. With his current level of technology, he still couldn't forge dark armor. He needed enough dark energy first. If he wanted to conquer the Land of Light and liberate the little monsters, then he, Jovian, would have to commit more evil deeds and stockpile enough dark energy to create that dark armor.
"Sorry, everyone. I'm not going easy on any of you."
Grinning viciously, Jovian shot into the sky and roamed the universe in search of beautiful young girls, no, that was wrong, civilizations worthy of being conquered by Jovian.
When the star of a system, the sun that nourished all life, died, that world, so much like the Land of Light, failed to create an artificial sun and walked a path completely opposite from the Land of Light's. Bearing the resentful souls of an entire star system on his back, the man walked the boundless universe under the name Alien Empera, the Dark Great Space Emperor.
With absolute power, he conquered one world after another and destroyed one planet after another.
Just as the man had said, "Once I have descended upon a planet, that world no longer has a future."
One planet after another was torn into fragments by the dark emperor.
Time passed, and eventually that great being arrived at the homeworld of the universe's giant lobsters...
No, wait, the homeworld of the Space Ninja, Alien Baltan.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Ahahahahaha!"
A gigantic Alien Baltan, with huge lobster-claw hands and titles like Space Ninja and a bloodline full of glorious martyrs, was laughing like a lunatic.
Slap!
Right as the Alien Baltan was cackling wildly, an enormous backhand tore through the air and smashed into his face.
That Alien Baltan, nearly 50 meters tall and weighing 15,000 tons, was sent flying by a single slap.
"What the fuck are you laughing at?"
It was a pitch-black life-form, handsome and imposing, with an overbearing cloak and a katana at his waist that could cut through anything. That black life-form was the Dark Great Space Emperor Jovian, who rampaged across the universe.
"Cough, cough..."
"Your Majesty..."
"I didn't mean anything by laughing. It's just, this is how our race sounds when we talk."
After crashing through several mountains, the Alien Baltan covered his face and stood back up, pitifully explaining himself to the Dark Great Space Emperor.
"Enough. Spare me the bullshit."
"Bring me the most beautiful woman in this universe."
Jovian had no interest in wasting words on Alien Baltan. He declared ownership of the universe's most beautiful woman with tyrannical confidence.
"Your Majesty, I already knew your tastes. I prepared for this long ago!"
The Baltan king clearly had come ready. He seemed to have known about Jovian's preferences ahead of time. He casually clapped his hands.
At once, two gigantic Baltans flew down in front of Jovian, their figures somewhat slimmer than that of the Baltan king standing before him.
"..."
Jovian looked at the two more slender Baltans floating down from the sky, then at the Baltan king he had just slapped. He fell silent.
"What the fuck are these two lobsters supposed to be? So where's the beauty I asked for?"
Jovian looked at the king of the Baltans.
"These two are the beauties!"
"I'm not bragging, Your Majesty, but you'd better believe it. These two are once-in-ten-thousand-years beauties among our Baltan race. And they're sisters!"
"When these two beauties were born, our entire race even fought a brutal war against our neighbors, the Alien Temperors, over them."
(Fun fact, the Alien Temperors and the Baltans are related.)
"Their beauty is famous far and wide. They're renowned throughout the entire known universe!"
"For both sisters to serve Your Majesty together, that would be their honor!"
The Baltan king looked at Jovian with a flattering grin, sycophancy all over his face.
"Your Majesty, allow us to serve you!"
Under a meaningful look from the Baltan king, the two so-called greatest beauties in the universe among the Baltans spoke to Jovian.
"..."
Jovian completely froze for a second. To be honest, other than their size, he genuinely could not tell what was supposed to be different about these three Baltans.
In human eyes, no matter how beautiful a lobster might be, it was still a lobster. At the end of the day, it was food.
And in Jovian's eyes, no matter how good-looking a Baltan might be, it was still just a giant space lobster.
No matter how desperate he got, Jovian was never going to get turned on by a lobster.
"Fuck this!"
"Judgment complete. Your planet no longer has a future!"
Jovian drew the Emperor Blade from his waist and slashed once, cutting all three Baltans to the ground.
"This is the price your Baltan race pays for mocking your emperor!"
As Jovian roared, massive gravitational waves rippled across the Baltan homeworld.
Then, amid a world-shaking collapse, the planet itself began to break apart and was reduced to ruins.
Dark armor completion: 27%.
With another planet destroyed, the completion rate of Jovian's dark armor took another huge step toward 100 percent.
"No choice. The universe may be vast, but the only worlds that share my taste are Earth, the Land of Light, and places like Planet U40."
"And since Earth is still full of prehistoric humans, that leaves the Land of Light."
Jovian decided to speed up the pace of the Great Ultra War.
"Ugly aliens, idiotic monsters, kneel before absolute power!"
Jovian unleashed his immense telekinetic power without restraint, power so great it could destroy stars with ease. He had only one goal, gather a monster army and crush the Land of Light.
This would be a super war between the countless Ultramen of the Land of Light and an endless horde of monsters and evil aliens.
Led by the invincible Dark Great Space Emperor, Alien Empera Jovian, the vast army of wicked aliens swept across the universe like an unstoppable legion, destroying one shining planet after another and snuffing out one star after another.
The self-proclaimed righteous Land of Light finally couldn't ignore it any longer.
In the end, after a council decision from the Land of Light's top leaders, the Ultramen resolved to wage all-out war against Alien Empera.
In the vastness of space, two streaks of light sped across the cosmos. The one in front kept pausing to wait for the one behind, occasionally sending out telepathic waves of irritation.
"Ken, hurry up!"
One Ultraman, who looked just a little hunched over, turned unhappily toward the Ultraman behind him, the one with the small horns on his head, and urged him on.
"Wait up a second, Belial!"
"I don't know why, but I have a really bad feeling about this."
The horned Ultraman seemed visibly worried, though from the perspective of anyone who wasn't an Ultraman, it would have been impossible to see much expression on his face at all.
"A bad feeling?"
"Who in the whole universe could possibly be a match for us?"
"Even Juda, who once threatened the universe, was defeated by you twenty thousand years ago."
"And Alien Empera? If the two of us jump him together, won't it be easy?"
Belial was unbelievably arrogant. He had always believed he was no weaker than Ken, no, that he was stronger. He simply had bad luck. Twenty thousand years ago, he hadn't gotten the chance to face Juda. Otherwise, the hero who defeated Juda and saved the universe would have been him, Belial, not soft-hearted, weak-willed Ken.
"No. This is different."
"Never underestimate our enemy."
"This darkness is stronger than anything we've ever seen before."
Ken shook his head. He had a premonition that this opponent would be far beyond any enemy he had faced before. Alien Empera was not some minor threat that could be defeated or sealed by one or two people.
"Yeah, yeah, got it."
"Let's just get to the mission planet already. Don't waste time and lose the initiative."
Belial picked at his ear, acting careless and half-listening. Clearly, he hadn't taken a word Ken said to heart.
"Fine..."
Ken still wanted to warn Belial not to be careless, but he knew Belial in his current state wouldn't listen no matter what he said. Maybe only when Belial truly stood before the Dark Great Space Emperor himself would Belial finally understand the power of unity.
When Belial and Ken moved at full speed, all anyone could see from a distance were two streaks of light crossing space.
Traveling like that, they reached the designated planet very quickly.
By then, the planet that had sent a distress signal to the Land of Light was already in total chaos.
Alien Nackle, the Assassin Alien, Alien Temperor, the Wicked Alien, and Alien Baltan, the Space Ninja, were running rampant across the planet, destroying everything in sight.
Yes, even after Jovian destroyed their homeworld, the Baltans hadn't resisted him. Instead, they joined his army and became one of his top forces. That Baltan willingness to let bygones be bygones and devote themselves to darkness, all while hating the bastard spawn of the Land of Light with a passion, truly lived up to their reputation as a whole clan of loyal martyrs.
"Damn it..."
The instant Belial saw the scene below, anger surged inside him, and he flew straight down to the planet's surface.
"Wait..."
Seeing Belial charge in recklessly, Ken panicked. He thought Belial was being far too rash. But there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only follow Belial down.
"Die!"
Belial dropped from the sky and didn't give the aliens a chance to say a single word. With a clean, brutal flying kick from above, he instantly took out one Alien Baltan.
Boom!
Flames erupted everywhere. Under Belial's kick, the native civilization on the ground exploded with it. Dozens of buildings collapsed at once.
"Evil aliens, come on then! Let me take a crack at you!"
Belial completely ignored the city block and streets he had just destroyed. He waved the aliens over with an arrogant grin.
"You bastard, die!"
An Alien Nackle, seeing the hard-working Baltan comrade he had fought beside for countless days and nights get kicked to death in one blow, flew into a rage and charged straight at Belial.
"Heh..."
Belial sneered at the oncoming Alien Nackle and drove a punch directly into his face, knocking him flat on the ground.
"That's it?"
Belial crouched slightly, rolled his neck, and looked at Alien Nackle with open disdain. In his eyes, the guy was pathetically weak.
"Uh..."
Alien Nackle felt the difference in strength too. He knew the being before him was one of the strongest warriors in the Land of Light, not someone he could possibly defeat.
"Well? Why'd you stop talking?"
Belial looked down at Alien Nackle arrogantly and asked.
"I, I beg you, please spare me!"
Alien Nackle's throat felt dry. He dropped to both knees and begged Belial for mercy.
"Oh, fuck off..."
Belial grinned viciously and pressed his hands together.
Bzzzt!
The next second, a white beam shot straight out at Alien Nackle.
Boom!
With a thunderous blast, Alien Nackle exploded on the spot.
"Tell your boss Alien Empera to get his ass out here! I'll handle him by myself! Dark Great Space Emperor? If we're talking power, I'm the real emperor around here!"
Belial laughed coldly and roared without restraint. Having never met a real opponent before, he didn't take Jovian seriously at all.
"Belial, Alien Empera isn't here. We've been tricked!"
Just as Belial was laughing to his heart's content, Ken, who had subdued Alien Temperor and dragged him over, arrived beside him. Moments ago, Ken had learned terrible news from Alien Temperor's mouth. They had fallen for Alien Empera's diversion. He had deliberately lured the two strongest warriors of the Land of Light away before attacking their home. The only thing they could do now was rush back as fast as possible before the Land of Light was damaged.
"Heh!"
"So this so-called Alien Empera ran away in fear after finding out we were coming? What a joke!"
"I think he should hand over his emperor title. I ought to be the Light Great Space Emperor instead!"
Belial was as arrogant as ever. In his eyes, Alien Empera was nothing special.
"B, Belial!"
Just as Belial was still running his mouth, Ken, who should have been relieved after dealing with Alien Temperor, suddenly turned deathly pale, as though he had just seen something truly horrifying.
"What's wrong, Ken?"
Belial looked at the stammering, visibly frightened Ken and asked in confusion.
"T, the sky..."
Ken looked up nervously. A mass of shadow had appeared overhead, blotting out all the light from the once-bright sky.
"Huh?!"
Belial also felt that suffocating aura of despair. His expression changed instantly, and he looked up.
High in the sky stood a black overlord above the clouds, looking down at Belial and Ken with amused eyes.
"Y, you are..."
Belial stared at the black emperor radiating overwhelming power from every inch of his body, power so immense it made people want to kneel, and felt real fear for the first time.
Boom!
As Belial and Ken stared up in tense silence, they let their guard down for just a single instant. In that instant, the dark being in the sky crashed down from above, sending dirt flying everywhere as he landed directly before them.
"What?!"
Belial and Ken looked at the being in front of them, a being who had completely crushed them in speed alone. Even as panic rose in their hearts, they immediately dropped into combat stances.
"..."
The black emperor swept his gaze around the battlefield. His eyes passed over Belial, then moved to Ken. He took in the wreckage all around them, then finally fixed his gaze on Alien Temperor, who had been subdued by Ken alone.
"You already lost. Why are you still alive?"
Boom!!
The black emperor asked the question, and at the same time, crimson fire shot from his fingertip and instantly pierced through Alien Temperor's body.
"Long live the Dark Great Space Emperor!"
After taking that casual strike from the black emperor, Alien Temperor's body began turning transparent, as though some force inside him was exploding apart.
Boom!
With one final blast, Alien Temperor's wicked life came to an end. But he had not died at the hands of his enemies. He had died by the hand of the great emperor he worshipped.
"There. I've taken care of the trash."
"Now let me see what the two of you can do. Show me exactly how strong the so-called strongest warriors of the Land of Light really are."
After disposing of the failure among his own subordinates, the black emperor turned his eyes toward the two young top warriors of the Land of Light before him.
