"I believe in Li Xiang's choice, I believe in Ultraman, and I believe in the girl behind him!"
Chu Zihang said firmly.
Hearing Chu Zihang's words, Xia Mi behind him couldn't help but laugh.
She thought to herself, "So this seemingly cold boy is actually such a righteous person at heart? Ultraman... he's really amazing. Just saving Chu Zihang turned him into this?"
Angers, on the other hand, is already reddish-brown.
What does it mean to believe in dragons?
Angers immediately began breathing out, "Ultraman, hand over that dragon!"
"Angers, are you going to continue being so stubborn? At your age, can't you even figure this out?"
Suddenly, the laboratory door opened again, revealing Chu Tianjiao and Pompeii Gattuso, the head of the Gattuso family.
In addition, many fully armed soldiers rushed in with guns in hand and surrounded Angers and his men.
"Why do we slay dragons? Why do we keep fighting? Isn't it all for humanity, for peace... Well, at least that's what I think right now."
As he spoke, Chu Tianjiao walked up to Li Xiang with Pang Bei in an incredibly dashing manner, clearly indicating that they were there to help Li Xiang.
"Chu Tianjiao...and Pompeii, why!"
Angers glared at the two men with eyes full of anger.
He never expected that even Chu Tianjiao would betray him, and even Pompeii, the head of the Gattuso family, would side with the Dragon Clan!
"Angers, why did you slay the dragon? Was it for revenge?" Chu Tianjiao pointed out Angers' purpose in slaying the dragon.
"Yes, it's all for revenge, what else could it be!"
Angers, however, made no secret of his purpose in slaying the dragon; he did it for revenge.
He clearly remembered the scene when his relatives and friends died in front of him.
That's why Angers couldn't forgive the dragons, and he vowed to kill them all!
"Angers..."
Chu Tianjiao had no choice but to remain silent.
Then Pompeii spoke up.
“Principal Angers, I think you should put aside your hatred for now. Our current enemy is Sphia, not the dragons.”
"Gattuso's 12 elders have become Sphia's puppets. Other hybrid families in the world may have also been invaded by Sphia, which is why Sphia knew the whereabouts of the Titans."
"Now, the entire planet is in grave danger. I hope you can temporarily put aside your grudges and join us in fighting against Sphia!"
Pompeii only recently learned that the elders of the Gattuso family were in trouble.
He discovered that the family elders had suddenly issued orders targeting the giants, which aroused Pompeii's suspicion. After all, Pompeii himself was a shrewd man and had never been honest.
So he investigated the 12 elders on his own and discovered that they had been devoured by Sphia.
His first priority was to destroy the Gattuso family's regenerative power as much as possible to prevent them from helping Sphia, because he knew how dangerous Sphia was.
Chu Tianjiao told him this, which is why Pompey blew up the 12 elders.
To be honest, he'd wanted to do this for a long time.
After bombing the elders and the Gattuso family, he is now a fugitive wanted by the family. In order to escape, he took his men and contacted Chu Tianjiao, which is why the two of them came to Kassel College together.
Their connection dates back three years.
Chu Tianjiao saw the existence of Ultraman, so he began to ponder the meaning of his dragon-slaying.
Just as he told his son, "It is the duty of the strong to protect the weak," he understood that his purpose in slaying the dragon was to protect others.
Thus, he began to plan ahead, at least to build his own network of contacts and subordinates in order to prepare for the future.
As it turned out, he was right.
He is now truly at odds with Angers.
...If Angers continues to insist on his dragon-slaying policy without considering the current crisis.
Chu Tianjiao is truly going to completely break with Angers.
He understood Angers's desire for revenge; no one could easily let go of the fact that their loved ones had been killed by dragons before their very eyes.
Seeking revenge against the dragons is a perfectly normal mentality.
However, not all dragons harm humans; there are also those within the dragon race who yearn for peace.
Isn't the girl next to me, Xia Mi, proof of that?
Humanity is now moving towards the next era, and it cannot enter this era if it cannot work together to bring peace to the world.
—Then we will face a desperate situation.
Chapter 32: Operation against Sphia!
"You want to be the guardian of the earth, right?"
Don't you think this idea is ridiculous?
"Hahaha--"
Angers just burst out laughing.
His original intention was to utilize the power of the giants, because the dragons were genuinely harming humans.
Therefore, Angers wanted to use Ultraman's power and Ultraman's love for humanity to slay the dragon.
But now, things are different.
Ultraman is not only going to save humans, but also the dragon race!
What right does a dragon have to be saved?
Without hesitation, Angers activated Time Zero, accelerating the flow of his own time to about 50 times that of the outside world.
However, he did not attack Li Xiang and his group because he knew he couldn't win.
So he ran away alone.
If you can't win, why not run away?
Keep the green hills and don’t worry about running out of firewood.
By the time Li Xiang, Chu Tianjiao, and the others reacted, Angers had already disappeared, leaving only Schneider and his men in the same spot, surrounded by heavily armed men.
"Damn it, it's time zero!"
"I'll go find him!"
Chu Tianjiao and Pompeii realized that Angers had activated Time Zero and escaped. Pompeii immediately volunteered to chase after Angers.
"Yes, be careful and be polite."
Pompeii turned to leave... no, he came back and pulled Caesar to his side, then quietly instructed, "Son, be careful..."
They then left.
Perhaps the city was shrouded in sorrow because of the attack by Sphia, and even the sun no longer shines down.
Angers came to the cemetery alone.
His former friends are buried here.
—Of course, these are all cenotaphs.
For many dragon slayers, leaving with an intact corpse is a luxury.
It was the summer of 1900 in Hamburg, Germany.
The original Lionheart Society besieged Li Wuyue here.
The Secret Service discovered dragon ruins in Hamburg Port, and Li Wuyue disguised herself as a human to infiltrate the investigation team.
However, Li Wuyue's true identity is actually that of a dragon. After his identity was revealed, he instantly transformed into a dragon and slaughtered the scholars present.
Angers, Meneke Kassel, Mayek...
The Lionheart Society members began to besiege Li Wuyue, but the Dragon King's power far exceeded expectations.
In the end, all members of the Lionheart Society except Angers perished. Menek activated the forbidden alchemical weapon "Rhine," using himself as a medium to detonate it, perishing together with Li Wuyue...
Whether Li Wuyue is dead or not, no one knows.
But of the Lionheart, only Angers survived.
The fire that day burned down the sky over Hamburg and also burned away the humanity of Angers.
Angers stood in the rain, head bowed, staring at the cold tombstone...
Back in the lab.
Chu Tianjiao told the others to put down their guns.
"Alright, professors, humanity is now in grave danger. The Sphia have already plundered the Dragon King's power, so they will attack Earth sooner or later... I think you have all read the Sphia's information. Their goal is to exterminate humanity, which, in some ways, is the same as those crazed dragons."
"Our conflict is an internal one, but I think we should put aside those meaningless grudges now and work together to fight Sphia and save the Earth. Is it that simple?"
At this point, Vice Principal Flamel stepped forward.
“With Angers gone, I should still have some say. We also understand the main contradiction now. Whether it's betrayal or cooperation with the dragons, we old folks know what's more important.”
He extended his hand to Chu Tianjiao: "Let's cooperate for now. At least we share the same goal of protecting humanity."
But Chu Tianjiao shook his head, stepped aside, and pushed Li Xiang forward.
Flamel paused for a moment, then continued to smile and extend his hand to Li Xiang.
"Ultraman, the future of humanity is in your hands!"
Li Xiang also extended his hand, and the two shook hands.
"I also need your help, please help me too!"
Both sides finally breathed a sigh of relief; at least cooperation had begun, and everyone's goal was to protect humanity.
Li Xiang looked around and then sorted out his thoughts.
