As Regalther was knocked crashing to the ground, Tiga was finally freed.
High above, Xiao Luuo rode on Melba, circling through the air to observe the battle unfolding below. Regalther may have been knocked down, but it had not sustained any real damage. Seeing this, Gomora immediately charged forward, closed in on Regalther, and executed a front flip, swinging its heavy tail around to strike Regalther squarely on the head in a burst of sparks.
Staggering back two steps, Regalther unleashed a cyan destructive beam straight at Gomora. Just as the beam was about to hit, Tiga leapt in front of Gomora, rapidly forming an Ultra Barrier to block the attack.
Taking advantage of the opening, Gomora scrambled back to its feet. Seeing this, Tiga switched to its red Power Type, and together, the Ultra and the Monster closed in to grapple with Regalther.
Finding a relatively secluded spot, Xiao Luuo dropped down from Melba and recalled the monster. He then pulled out the Spark Prism. A flash of brilliant white light later, Ultraman Noga appeared in its place.
When Xiao Luuo threw a punch straight into Regalther, a sharp, stabbing pain surged through his hand, giving him a much more direct appreciation of Regalther’s formidable defense.
At that exact moment, an aura of darkness seeped into Regalther. A violent shockwave suddenly erupted from within the monster, blasting Gomora, Tiga, and Noga backward through the air! Tiga's Color Timer began flashing urgently in warning.
"It's this strong?!" Xiao Luuo steadied himself, unable to help his exclamation.
Tiga's chest heaved rapidly, clearly exhausted, yet the giant still charged back to the front lines!
"That guy Daigo really turned Tiga into a melee mage!"
With a lighthearted mockery, Xiao Luuo shifted into his red form and charged in as well!
After a fierce bout of wrestling, the three combatants were left panting heavily, yet Regalther remained completely unharmed. After all, the monster already possessed an impregnable defense, and now, infused with the dark energy, its resilience had reached a whole new level, while its offensive power had grown even more terrifying!
Seeing Tiga's Color Timer blinking at a frantic pace, Xiao Luuo knew time was running out. He immediately began channeling the Zepellion Ray. Catching on instantly, Daigo followed suit, charging up his own Zepellion Ray, while Xiao Luuo commanded Gomora to unleash a Super Oscillation Wave.
Three beams of light converged on Regalther simultaneously, setting off a massive explosion!
Having completely exhausted his energy, Daigo dissolved into particles of light and vanished from the spot.
As the smoke cleared, Regalther stood completely unscathed, letting out a roar of victory.
At that moment, Gomora's entire body began to glow with a fierce red light, catching Xiao Luuo's attention.
"Roar!" Gomora threw back its head and roared.
"Could this be! Berserk Gomora?!" Xiao Luuo gasped in astonishment.
Back at the GUTS Base, Megumi Iruma watched the scene unfold on the main screen.
Staring at the screen where Gomora was frantically attacking Regalther, Muzui exclaimed in surprise, "Captain! The color of Gomora's body has changed, and its power seems to have increased."
"Is that so?" Megumi Iruma rested her chin in her hands and replied softly.
Down in the forest, Munakata supported Shinjo as they made their way over to a tree. Hori and Rena raised their Hyper Guns, firing a continuous stream of energy blasts at Regalther to provide cover for the Ultra and the monster.
Daigo limped heavily toward the four of them, and Rena rushed over to support him the moment she saw him.
"Are you all right? How do you feel?" Rena asked, looking at Daigo with deep concern.
Daigo simply waved a hand to signal he was fine, though his eyes remained fixed on Regalther and Noga.
Following Daigo's gaze, Rena said with rising panic, "What do we do? That monster is like an impenetrable fortress. Even if a hundred people attacked from the outside, they wouldn't even scratch it!"
"Attack from the outside?" Shinjo muttered, falling into deep thought.
"I've got it! Base! Base, respond!"
"This is the Base," Muzui immediately replied.
"Listen up! Send the data on the Jupita 3 astronauts—especially the photographs of their families—straight into the computer system of Jupita 3!"
"Understood!" Muzui replied, his fingers flying across the console before he slammed the send key.
Sparks began to leap across Regalther's body as it grappled with Ultraman Noga and Gomora.
Seeing this, Xiao Luuo instantly realized Shinjo's plan was working.
"Look, that monster is acting really strange!" Rena said, puzzled.
Amidst the continuous spray of sparks, Regalther stopped its attacks, its body convulsing violently on the spot.
"Shinjo, your plan worked!" Hori shouted as he watched the monster's bizarre transformation.
"The three sleeping wills are awakening!" Shinjo declared. He stepped forward and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Once again! Survive as human beings! Seize the monster's energy! Steal the energy stored inside the monster! Use that energy to attack the monster and defeat it!"
As Shinjo's voice faded, Regalther slowly brought its giant claws together. A cyan destructive beam erupted—aimed squarely at itself! Accompanied by a deafening roar, sparks burst endlessly from Regalther's body as it slowly sank to its knees.
Just then, three specks of light flew out from within the monster. The moment the lights emerged, Regalther collapsed heavily to the ground, motionless.
Noga immediately scooped the three points of light into its hands, using its own power to restore them to their original forms.
It placed the three astronauts gently in front of Shinjo and the others, but as Noga tried to stand back up, it staggered and fell heavily to the ground, its chest heaving in rapid, exhausted gasps.
"Did I burn through my energy too fast?" Xiao Luuo murmured, before dissolving into particles of light and vanishing.
The group looked in profound gratitude at the spot where Ultraman Noga had just vanished, and then at the three astronauts of the Jupita 3 standing safely before them.
"Where... where are we?" Dr.Ezaki asked, looking at the members of GUTS.
"Ultraman Noga saved you!" Rena answered immediately.
Meanwhile, Xiao Luuo leaned heavily against a tree trunk, holding his Battle Niser, and muttered softly, "Gomora, time to finish this."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the horn on Gomora's head began to gather a brilliant golden energy. Once the power reached its peak, Gomora charged straight at Regalther, driving its horn deep into the monster's chest to lift it clear off the ground. Concentric rings of golden ripples radiated outward from the horn.
Finally, with a thunderous explosion, Regalther burst apart and perished. Seeing that it had finally destroyed the adversary that had once humiliated it, Gomora threw its head back and roared in triumphant declaration of victory!
The massive shockwave forced the GUTS members to clap their hands over their ears.
As a Reionics, Xiao Luuo was naturally unaffected. Once Gomora finished venting its fierce pride, he recalled the monster back into the Battle Niser.
Summoning Melba, he leaped gracefully onto the beast's back and soared away from the scene.
Hori watched the obliterated remains of Regalther and exclaimed in excitement, "That's nothing short of a miracle!"
Shinjo looked toward the three astronauts standing before him and said, "This wasn't a miracle. They reclaimed their pride and dignity as human beings."
Extending a hand, he smiled. "Welcome back."
Upon returning to the GUTS Command Center, Xiao Luuo slumped directly across his desk to rest.
Knowing he must be utterly exhausted from the day's ordeal, Megumi Iruma chose not to wake him.
And the three astronauts of the Jupita 3 set out once again on their journey to explore Jupiter.
