The three of them pursued relentlessly through space, when suddenly they noticed a spaceship being desperately swallowed whole by a Bemular. Seeing this, Orb transformed without a moment's hesitation, rushing like lightning toward the Bemular and firmly blocking the path between the beast and the ship. He spun around and unleashed a powerful beam at the Bemular, but to his surprise, the beam was effortlessly swallowed once again.
Meanwhile, Juggler had already slipped quietly into the spaceship. Inside the cabin, two young women lay unconscious in their seats. Juggler skillfully took the helm, shoved the throttle to maximum, and drove forward with all his might. Just then, the two women regained consciousness, murmuring softly, "It feels like our spaceship has been hijacked..." Hearing this, Juggler turned his head and snapped irritably, "When the two of you talk behind people's backs, can't you keep it down? Besides, I'm trying to save you!"
Right at that moment, Saize also appeared in the cockpit. The two women stared in terror at the sudden stranger, their hearts filled with fear and confusion.
At that instant, Juggler shouted to Saize, "Never mind that right now—go help that guy Orb!" With that, he looked ahead and was horrified to see a massive meteorite hurtling toward them. It was already too late to stop the ship. Yet in the nick of time, a dazzling light flashed, and Saize materialized like lightning between the meteorite and the spaceship.
Seeing this sudden Ultraman, the two women were struck dumb with astonishment. Saize gently placed them down on a nearby planet, and shortly after, Orb and the Bemular descended onto the planet as well. The Bemular opened the pentagram on its belly once more and began frantically devouring everything in sight. Orb's entire body flashed with light as he prepared to charge at the Bemular, but Saize reached out and grabbed him by the arm. Saize said grimly, "Orb, stay here and protect the spaceship." Before he finished speaking, Saize slowly raised his hands, brought them together in front of his chest to gather energy, and unleashed a powerful Mars Beam.
"Idol! That thing can swallow beams!" Juggler shouted angrily from inside the spaceship. Yet the next second, he froze, a blank expression washing over his face.
The brightly colored Mars Beam shot straight into the Bemular's stomach and passed right through its back without the slightest obstruction. This sight left Juggler utterly bewildered and astonished.
Afterward, Saize slowly turned around and said in a firm tone, "When dealing with monsters that can devour beams, we have two choices. The first is to use hand-to-hand combat to defeat them, and the second is to unleash an absolutely overwhelming beam that blows them to smithereens, leaving them no chance to swallow anything."
Then, Orb and Saize transformed into flashes of light and vanished from the spot, reappearing inside the spaceship the very next moment. Orb, Saize, Juggler, and the two women began to converse, and through the exchange, the two women gradually came to understand where the three men came from. They introduced themselves, "I am Yogen, and this is Rika."
Meanwhile, on the distant planet Juru, Musashi shouted at the giant beast before him, "Borgils, you sure can eat! Such a big appetite means your health is in top shape today, too." Just then, a familiar voice rang out in Musashi's mind.
"Can you hear me, Musashi?" Hearing the voice, Musashi cried out excitedly, "Asuka!"
"Musashi, I need your help right now," Asuka said urgently. "Someone in the universe is using monsters to disrupt the cosmic balance, and the situation is extremely critical."
After a brief exchange, Musashi transformed into Cosmos and crossed through a wormhole to support Asuka. Amidst a flash of light, Ultraman Cosmos appeared in the starry sky and flew off into the distance.
Back in the spaceship, Kurenai Gai said excitedly, "It's so great that your Queen can transform into a warrior too! That way, I'll have the chance to ask her about the mission and meaning of a Queen turning into a giant."
Suddenly, Saize raised his hand and delivered a swift Ultraman slap straight across Kurenai Gai's face. "I'm standing right here, and instead of thinking about asking me, you want to go ask some Queen Amaterasu about the meaning of becoming a giant? Have you lost your mind?"
At that moment, Juggler apologized, "Forgive us, but please allow us to use your swords and training ground." With that, he led Kurenai Gai into the training room. Saize followed quietly behind the two of them into the room.
Inside the training room, the two engaged in a fierce sword fight, blades clashing and sending sparks flying. Their movements were swift and precise, every single strike imbued with formidable power and skill. At the same time, Orb said, "Juggler, I want to learn combat techniques from you, and I also hope to find Queen Amaterasu and talk about the meaning of becoming a giant."
"You still have plenty to learn from me," Juggler said indifferently, before delivering a final slash that knocked Kurenai Gai back and kicking him hard against the wall.
Afterward, Kurenai Gai got up and left the room. Just then, Yuyan walked in, looking at Juggler with eyes full of awe and admiration, and asked, "That was amazing! What school of swordsmanship is that?"
Juggler glanced at him and replied calmly, "Snake-Heart style."
Hearing this answer, Yuyan's eyes lit up instantly as she said excitedly, "I never expected to witness the swordsmanship of my dreams, and with such brilliant footwork too—I'm so envious!"
However, Juggler merely smiled faintly and said, "This is just a skill honed through years of practice; don't harbor too many illusions about it."
Upon hearing this, a trace of determination flashed in Yuyan's eyes as she looked at Juggler and earnestly pleaded, "Please teach me this swordsmanship, I beg of you!"

Yet Juggler refused her without the slightest hesitation, saying indifferently, "I refuse."
"Is it just because I'm a woman?" Yuyan asked, somewhat unconvinced.
Juggler frowned and interrupted her impatiently, "I have a mission; I can't waste time on meaningless things like this."
Yuyan hurried to explain, "I already memorized some of it just now."
"Don't test me; it won't do you any good," Juggler said flatly.
Yuyan stated firmly, "I want to become strong to protect Her Majesty the Queen."
Juggler sneered, "But your Queen has no desire to fight, because there are always people protecting her, so she can afford to say so leisurely that she doesn't want to fight." His words carried a hint of mockery.
Yuyan retorted hastily, "The Queen is by no means the kind of person you make her out to be."
Juggler shrugged indifferently, "Is that so? What does that have to do with me?" With that, he turned and walked away.
Watching Juggler's departing back, Yuyan called out loudly, "Your heart has been wounded, hasn't it?"
Juggler stopped in his tracks and glanced back at Yuyan.
Yuyan continued, "The one who betrayed you was a woman, wasn't it? Good-looking, skilled, must be very popular with girls."
Juggler fell silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "I have indeed suffered betrayal, but the one who betrayed me was not a woman."
Right at that moment, Saize walked out slowly from the side. He looked at Yogen with a stern expression, his tone calm but carrying a hint of warning, "Probing into other people's pasts is not a good habit, you know."
Suddenly, an alarm blared across the ship, accompanied by Lika's voice announcing that a massive horde of Beelzebub was rushing toward them from Beelzebub. The three of them exchanged glances, nodded, and headed to the cockpit together.
Immediately after, Orb and Saize transformed into light, shooting out of the spaceship in a flash and effortlessly shattering the few small Beelzebub blocking their path. Then, they landed firmly on a planet. The two exchanged a tacit understanding look and simultaneously unleashed their respective beams, instantly wiping out a swarm of Beelzebub.
Suddenly, a Beelzebub the exact same size as Orb emerged from behind him and caught him off guard with an elbow strike that knocked him to the ground.
At the same time, another Beelzebub appeared behind Saize. Without even turning his head, Saize stylishly drew his Black Feather and slashed backward, sending the Beelzebub's head flying off like a ball. Seeing this, Yogen and Rika inside the spaceship dropped their jaws in shock, stammered as they looked at Juggler, and asked him what school of swordsmanship that was. Juggler replied unhurriedly, "Hmm, no idea. When he gets back, you can ask him yourself."
Saize raised his sword blade and slashed again at the Beelzebub grappling with Orb, instantly cleaving the monster in two. Afterward, Saize walked over to Orb and pulled him up. The two turned their heads to find themselves surrounded by Beelzebub of their exact same size.
Suddenly, a flash of light cut through the air as Dyna struck a pose in mid-air, preparing for a flying kick to squash a Beelzebub. But before he could even gather his strength, he caught sight of black lightning crackling across Saize's body. That lightning was no joke; with a "whoosh," it shot toward the surrounding Beelzebub and the monsters controlled by them, followed by a deafening roar of explosions. By the time the explosions cleared, not a trace of the Beelzebub remained—they had all been blown to tiny fragments! Dyna, however, was in deep trouble; unable to brake in time, he crashed straight into a bolt of lightning with a loud "bang" and was knocked completely unconscious.
"Senior!" Orb's jaw hit the floor in shock.
"Never mind him. Let's go take down that Psyche Baltan!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Orb asked, looking completely bewildered.
Saize turned his head and used telepathy to say a few words to Orb. Hearing this, Orb said no more and obediently followed behind Saize. The two Ultras and the spaceship zoomed away toward Psyche's stronghold, leaving the fallen Dyna lying flat on the ground behind them.
The five of them charged excitedly into the tower, only to find absolutely nothing inside.
"It's way too quiet in here!" Rika muttered.
"Hey, don't say things like that—bad things happen when you do!" Juggler warned from the side.
Suddenly, Rika was snatched away by a tail in a flash. Before she could be dragged very far, Saize swept his blade with a "swish" and severed the tail clean off. The Beelzebub that had snatched Rika let out a howl of agony and charged straight at Saize. With a swift Ultraman strike, Saize chopped the Beelzebub's head right off with a loud "bang."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained 50 points!"
The remaining four watched Saize's terrifying display—felling a Beelzebub with a single swipe—and broke out in a cold sweat down their backs. Afterward, the group continued onward. Along the way, Yuyan curiously asked Saize what school his swordsmanship belonged to.
Saize glanced at him and replied unhurriedly, "Demon Fall."
Lika, Juggler, Yogen, and Kurenai Gai all stared at Saize in astonishment. Demon Fall sword style—wasn't that the swordsmanship of the man in black robes who had suddenly appeared a few years ago?
"That's right, this was yet another System task, requiring Saize to create his own style and make his name shake the universe within a few years. And the reward for that task was opening up one of the four holes on the Black Feather, and the gem currently embedded in that opened hole is the Blackened Demonic Stone!"
