Shortly after, the group boarded the spaceship and flew toward Planet Kanon.
Riding in the vessel, they reached the skies above Kanon at immense speed. However, looking down, they saw Queen Amaterasu transformed into the War Deity. Surprisingly, the War Deity remained entirely on the defensive, launching no offensive attacks.
At that moment, Asuka reached out through a mental link to question Haruno Musashi: "Queen Amaterasu, what is she trying to do?"
Musashi replied via telepathy: "I suspect the Queen has chosen the form of the War Deity precisely because her heart rejects fighting. She won't strike first, and we should respect her decisions and beliefs."
Suddenly, Saize's voice cut in, having joined the mental link as well. In a stern tone, Saize demanded: "Haruno Musashi, why aren't you helping her? She might not understand the threat posed by Beelzebub, but you certainly do!"
Faced with Saize's challenge, Musashi answered firmly: "An Ultra Warrior cannot casually interfere with the developmental path of other civilizations."
Right then, an angry shout suddenly rang out: "Damn it, Cosmos! Have you forgotten that you're an Earthling too? You're merely sharing a single body and soul with Ultraman Cosmos, and only because Cosmos chose to merge with you out of recognition. In truth, you're not a real Ultra Warrior at all! Yet as the Warrior of Mercy, you stand by and watch the people of this planet suffer. Aren't you ashamed?" The one delivering this harsh interrogation to Musashi was none other than Saize.
Hearing those words, the others on the spaceship fell silent, as if silently conceding his point. Musashi initially wanted to retort, but Cosmos stopped him from within. Cosmos told him: "Musashi, he's right. Now isn't the time to argue; we need to unite and fight together." Musashi nodded, accepting Cosmos's advice.
As time passed, Orb and Dyna completed their transformations as well, shooting out of the spaceship in beams of light. They stood alongside Cosmos in front of the War Deity form of Queen Amaterasu. Exchanging a glance, Dyna and Orb rushed toward the two Super Beasts without hesitation. Cosmos, meanwhile, stayed behind, focusing on restoring energy to Queen Amaterasu.
At that instant, Queen Amaterasu slowly crouched down and cried out: "Please don't hurt Beelzebub!" However, Orb and Dyna ignored her plea. Aboard the spaceship, Saize had already taught Orb that when facing monsters threatening the safety of the universe, one must never show mercy. Thus, the two decisively launched their attack and thoroughly defeated Beelzebub. Seeing this, Queen Amaterasu helplessly let her hands drop.
The scene suddenly shifted. A medium-sized Beelzebub, leading a pack of smaller Beelzebubs, began mercilessly slaughtering ordinary citizens on Planet Kanon. The defense forces of Kanon rose up in resistance, engaging the Beelzebubs in a desperate battle. Just as the commander leading the guards was about to be struck down by a small Beelzebub, Captain Shinra stepped forward at the critical moment and successfully rescued him. At the same time, the medium-sized Beelzebub was jointly defeated by Juggler and Yogen.
With Orb and Dyna locked in fierce combat against the two Super Beasts, they found themselves struggling more and more. At that moment, a flash of light illuminated the area once again as Saize transformed into a giant and joined the fray.
Senior Ace once said: "Any living creature will feel terror and fear when attacked, thereby exposing flaws. But Super Beasts are different—they possess no such emotions, so we must take action and completely annihilate them!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Saize raised Black Feather and gave it a light forward sweep. A flash of sword light swept past, instantly decapitating the two Super Beasts. Yet Cosmos, who was tending to Queen Amaterasu nearby, shouted loudly: "They are lives too!"
Orb and Dyna, who had been about to help Cosmos lift Queen Amaterasu, took two steps back upon hearing this. At the same time, Saize rapidly flashed forward, and with a sharp *crack*, a crisp Ultra slap landed across Cosmos's face.
Cosmos angrily demanded to know why Saize had hit him.
Saize replied: "Mercy toward the enemy is cruelty to oneself, especially with vicious monsters like these." With that, Saize dealt Cosmos another fierce slap.
Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a mid-level draw.
That's right—just moments before, the System had issued a quest demanding a reasonable excuse to slap Cosmos. As for why there were two slaps, it was simply because Saize had heard those foolish remarks and was beyond furious.
Yet right at that moment, Queen Amaterasu inexplicably lost her senses and walked right back up to Beelzebub Queen, attempting to establish communication with her.
"Beelzebub, are you trying to say that war is meaningless? How surprising, that's precisely what I wanted to tell you," said Queen Amaterasu.
Suddenly, Beelzebub Queen straightened her back, her body growing taller and more imposing, signaling that she had entered her second phase.
Watching everything unfold before him, Cosmos sighed: "This must be the peaceful outcome Queen Amaterasu desired most." With that, he cast a faint glance at Saize, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and regret.
Just when everyone thought it was all over, disaster struck again. A Beelzebub stealthily appeared from behind the War Deity and swiftly drove its venomous stinger into the War Deity's body.
Seeing this, Saize anxiously shouted to Juggler: "Go pluck a fruit from the Tree of Life!" Without hesitation, he then charged toward Beelzebub Queen, ready to engage her in a fierce battle. However, just as he neared Beelzebub Queen, dozens of identically sized Beelzebubs swarmed him. They surged forward like a tide, and though Saize fought back valiantly, he couldn't shake off their entanglement. No matter how many he eliminated, a new batch emerged, plunging him into an endless, grueling struggle.
Juggler and the others heard the call and immediately sprinted toward the Tree of Life, beating back the Beelzebubs along the way. Juggler hurled his Serpent-Heart Sword fiercely into the Tree of Life, knocking loose a single fruit. He then instructed Yuyan to catch his sword while he ran to toss the fruit to Orb. A moment later, the seed transformed into a spear of light in Orb's hands, which Orb threw hard toward Queen Amaterasu, who absorbed the light spear. Afterward, Yogen's voice came from behind Juggler as Yogen picked up Juggler's dropped sword. Just as Juggler turned back, brimming with joy to share the news of success with Yogen—
A Beelzebub launched a sneak attack on Yogen. Yogen agilely dodged aside, and then both he and the Beelzebub lunged fiercely at each other. From the hilltop, Juggler shouted "Don't!", but it was already too late. They struck each other simultaneously, and Yogen was impaled by the Beelzebub's sharp claws. Juggler clutched his head in agony.
Juggler leaped down from the boulder, picked up his sword, and spun around to hack the Beelzebub into pieces. Juka rushed over to hold Yogen, while Captain Shinra struck with a decisive blow, killing the Beelzebub that tried to ambush Juka. From then on, the surrounding Beelzebubs multiplied, and Juggler, seemingly driven mad, swung his blade with all his might, cutting down Beelzebubs one after another.
Suddenly, an exoskeleton began spreading across Juggler's body. Amidst the astonished gazes of Juka and Captain Shinra, Juggler transformed into his Demon form.
Staring at the Tree of Life, Juggler asked Captain Shinra, who had approached him: This tree is the root of this war, and all your myths originate from it. Once it is destroyed, this war will end. With that, Juggler leapt into the air, charging the Serpent-Heart Sword in his hand.
Sensing this, the Queen blocked the path of the Tree of Life. Juggler brought his blade down in a slash; the Queen tried desperately to block it, but the blade pierced right through her body and struck the Tree of Life, causing it to slowly topple over.
Where the Tree of Life was falling, Saize was fighting hordes of Beelzebubs when he received another task from the System.
Host, hurry and collect the fruit of the Tree of Life into the System Space! That's a rare treasure!
How am I supposed to collect it? Saize looked at the System as if it were a fool.
The System replied: "Don't you have a mid-level draw ticket? Just chip in a few points, and I'll help you exchange it for a new skill."
"Fine! You wretched System, I had barely saved up those few points before you set your sights on them. Oh well, whatever—hurry up and exchange it, or the fruit is going to drop to the ground!"
"Congratulations to the Host for acquiring 'Reaching into the Bag'!"
Just as Dr. Zeed ordered the Beelzebubs to harvest the fruit from the Tree of Life, he was shocked to discover that not a single fruit remained on the tree.
Dr. Zeed asked his robotic assistant in utter bewilderment: "Where are the fruits of the Tree of Life? Where did they all go?"
