Chapter 585 - 585: Belial Atrocious! Stubborn Old Black Belial
Rhodes didn't open the system's small gift first, because that was the final surprise. Right now, the first thing he should check was the summoned monster!
This monster, assembled from the summoning fragments, was also a famous existence!
Belial Atrocious! Commonly known as Old Black Belial!
He first appeared in the 2009 movie Ultraman: Ultra Galaxy Legend. He was an Ultraman from the same era as the Father of Ultra.
In the Land of Light, he had quite a high seniority, but later, because he lost to the Father of Ultra in both love and career, he turned dark and touched the Plasma Spark Tower!
He wanted to gain even greater power, but he was discovered by the Father of Ultra and exiled from the Land of Light. He encountered the Reionics and was possessed, turning into a black-and-red skinned form, which was just his initial dark form.
After that, there were the Hundred-Body Monster Belyudra form, the Kaiser Emperor form, the Ultra Galaxy Emperor Arc Belial, the Dark Emperor Kaiser Darkness, and the Dark Zero Ultraman form where he seized Ultraman Zero's body.
And the final form summoned this time: Belial Atrocious!
Looking at Belial's life, it can only be described as tragic. In his youth, he lost to his romantic rival.
He finally escaped from prison, went on a rampage, and flattened the Land of Light, only to be defeated by the rookie Ultraman Zero.
After that, it was a series of failures, and in the end, he even died at the hands of his own son, Ultraman Geed.
Belial is one of the strongest among the dark giants, with strength and presence second only to Dark Zagi!
The Belial summoned by himself wasn't his initial form; it skipped the dark state, skipped the Hundred-Body Monster Belyudra.
It skipped the Kaiser Emperor form, skipped various Belial fusion beasts, and even the dark armor state, directly becoming the ultimate Belial Atrocious.
Belial Atrocious is a super dark giant born from Belial using the Sublimator, combining the power of the Alien Empera and the power of Dark Lugiel.
The two fusion materials are both incredibly powerful.
First, the Dark Universe Emperor Alien Empera—his strength goes without saying. He was summoned by Rhodes earlier and easily defeated the secret weapon used by the Tyranid swarm envoy against Rhodes in the space station.
He also helped the Emperor strip away the Chaos God's godhood. And the other one, Dark Lugiel, his strength is even more unquestionable, with presence and power higher than our Dark Emperor.
His identity is the dark demon god opposing Ultraman Ginga, and he was originally one with Ultraman Ginga.
His weapon is the Dark Spark, which can turn Ultra Warriors and monsters into Spark Dolls, aiming to stop all life and time, and is the culprit behind the Spark Doll incident.
His combat power is insanely strong, the top of the new generation, Ginga's final boss.
When he first appeared, his combat power was extremely high, with overwhelming pressure, but later, with version updates, he weakened.
The most mysterious item, the Dark Spark, can materialize various monsters, evil, and dark Ultraman dolls, and even create clones for subordinates to control.
It can directly give an ordinary person the power to transform into Dark Tiga, no problem. And his height and weight soar directly to zero and infinity.
According to Rhodes's estimation, if he summoned Dark Lugiel, his strength and presence would definitely not lose to Belial Atrocious, and might even be a level higher.
Of course, even though Old Black Belial's fusion materials are those two, it doesn't mean the main body only has partial power.
The powers of those two, plus Belial's own power, fused into a trinity ultimate boss with maxed-out strength and presence.
Belial Atrocious's power is extremely terrifying! He can even absorb the power of the King of Ultra left in the universe, and after appearing, he brutally beat a bunch of characters.
He successively defeated Ultraman Zero in his Ultimate form and Geed in his Royal Master form!
Later, Zero injected the Karelan Molecule into his timer, stopping him from absorbing the King of Ultra's power in the universe, but in the fight with the Father of Ultra afterward, he had the upper hand!
It can be said he had all the advantages of timing, location, and harmony, but in the end, he was plot-killed in another dimension, defeated by Ultraman Geed's Primitive form!
It can be said he debuted with extreme flair, but his curtain call was quite miserable. In this state, Belial has a height of 55 meters and a weight of 55,000 tons. His ultimate move is Atrocious Burst, Belial Atrocious's limit-killing beam.
He poses his hands in a beam-firing shape, releasing red-black lightning and purple beams with power enough to destroy an entire planet.
There's also Energy Reversal, which can convert positive energy into evil energy and seize others' power—this skill comes from the Alien Empera.
In addition, he has Atrocious Slash, Belial Shot, Atrocious Hell Claw, Desium Mother Destruction, Atrocious Tear, Atrocious Roar, Atrocious Impact, and other moves!
And these skills can all be enhanced, but for ultimate monsters, the store must be upgraded to the highest level to enhance them!
For now, Rhodes can only use the initial form of Belial Atrocious, but this version of Belial is enough, after all, it's Old Black's final form.
"This summoned monster is quite powerful!"
In the system space, Rhodes fused the 10 fragments of Belial Atrocious.
"Come out, Belial Atrocious," Rhodes whispered the name. In the other-dimensional space, a black light flashed, and Belial Atrocious, 55m tall and 55,000t heavy, appeared.
A chilling laughter suddenly echoed in the other-dimensional space.
"Hahaha, this great me, am I not dead? This great me has revived. Zero and that Geed kid won't be so lucky this time."
The newly appeared Belial Atrocious said excitedly.
Defeated in the other-dimensional rift by his own biological son—what a frustrating way to die. But the good news is he's revived now.
Although he didn't know why he revived, he had to get revenge on the Land of Light. Belial didn't even notice the tiny Rhodes in his eyes and immediately planned to leave.
As for Tartarus beside Rhodes, his strength made him feel a hint of threat; he didn't want to fight this golden guy. As for the other one, Yapool, he was just a minor character in Belial Atrocious's eyes, not worth a second glance.
"Dark Ultraman, Belial Atrocious, now obey my command. I am your master." Rhodes snorted coldly and spoke.
"Hm? What did you just say? Human, what are you? Who are you to command this great me? I've just revived and am in a good mood—don't force me to kill you." Belial Atrocious turned his head, looking at Rhodes with displeasure.
If it weren't for the guy beside you, I'd have killed you the moment I revived.
At this moment, Tartarus immediately stepped in front of Rhodes, emitting a bright aura all over his body.
Rhodes also gigantified directly, turning into an 80-meter-tall giant, bigger than the current Old Black Belial in size.
"You don't want to serve me? No, no, no, that's not up to you." Rhodes smiled and used the system's power to forcibly suppress Belial.
Actually, when the Dark Universe Emperor was first summoned, he resisted too, but I suppressed him. At that time, the Emperor had just lost to Mebius.
He was in a low mood, so his resistance was weak, and the system successfully suppressed him. But this time, Belial seems a bit different.
This is the first time Rhodes has summoned a monster that dares to resist him.
From past experience, the monsters he summoned were actually ones that had been defeated in the original plot.
For example, the initial Red King, Bemstar, King Goldras, etc., series of monsters were all defeated in the show.
"Why should I serve you? You think you two can handle me?" Belial Atrocious was about to make a move when he felt a terrifying will starting to suppress his mind.
A terrifying consciousness was altering his cognition, completely rewriting his perception.
The person in front of him is his master, an existence he must be loyal to, even if ordered to die, he cannot disobey.
He had encountered this situation once before, when he was just exiled from the Land of Light and possessed by the Alien Reiblood. But even the Alien Reiblood, who dominated the entire universe, couldn't make his soul submit.
"Damn you, you actually want to enslave me? Dream on! I won't accept enslavement from anyone. I'm Belial!" Belial roared in fury, firing a black lightning bolt from his hand toward Rhodes. Since this guy is the one causing trouble, kill him first.
Facing the speeding black lightning, Rhodes snorted coldly, casting a barrier emitting white light with both hands, blocking the attack.
Rhodes has now accepted the light and dark power enhancements from the Dark Universe Emperor and the Angel Zog, elevating his overall strength to an unimaginable level.
Though still not as good as those top bosses in the Ultra series, blocking a casual strike from Belial is no problem.
"Follow me, and there are huge benefits. Your strength will reach new heights, gaining even greater power." Rhodes spoke.
"Ahhh! You damned guy, what the hell did you do to me?"
Belial let out screams in the other-dimensional world, dark energy constantly emanating from his body.
This kind of mental control energy is what he hates most. This mental control is even stronger than the Alien Reiblood's that time.
But he's not the same as back then. Now he's Belial Atrocious. The black giant in front of him is already in agony but still resisting the system's cognitive modification.
"Master, his resistance is extremely strong. Among many monsters, dark Ultramen, or cosmic beings, there are always some with personalities that refuse to be subordinates." Tartarus, standing beside Rhodes, spoke.
He remembered when he was first summoned, he also tried to resist. After all, he is the legendary ultimate lifeform, the Absolute, Tartarus.
But even as strong as he was, he couldn't resist that terrifying consciousness and eventually submitted to Rhodes, to this master.
"You mean that in the future, the top-tier powerful monsters I summon will all need a period of taming?" Rhodes asked.
"That's right, Master. If it's some low-intelligence, not-so-smart monsters, they can naturally be subdued easily.
But existences like Belial are very difficult. He's not an ordinary person; he's a warlord." Tartarus said.
"When you were summoned, you must have gone through this too, right? How long did you resist back then?" Rhodes asked thoughtfully.
With Tartarus's arrogant personality, even if not as much as Belial, it shouldn't be far off. He must have resisted fiercely back then.
"Hahaha, as you guessed, Master. I did resist for a while, about a few hours!
In the end, you promised me one thing, and I stopped resisting and became your servant." Tartarus said.
"Oh, you've never told me about this. What did I promise you?" Rhodes asked curiously.
At this moment, Belial Atrocious was glaring at the chatting duo with eyes spitting fire. These two guys didn't seem to take him seriously at all.
They must be certain that this terrifying consciousness can modify his cognition.
"Master, you'll know when you summon me. I think that day won't be far off." Tartarus said with a smile.
"I see. So, if I want to fully subdue this guy, I have to make him submit voluntarily?" Rhodes asked, looking at the fiercely struggling Belial.
When summoning the Dark Universe Emperor back then, there weren't so many issues! Speaking of which, Belial Atrocious's resistance is much stronger than the Dark Universe Emperor's.
"That's right, Master. Otherwise, some summoned monsters, even if killed by the system's power, won't submit to you." Tartarus nodded.
Super monsters or top cosmic beings all have their own pride. Otherwise, even in death, they won't accept a fate of enslavement.
Rhodes nodded and turned to look at the Belial Atrocious writhing in pain on the ground.
"Belial Atrocious, you've now come to another universe, different from our previous one. I revived you.
If you're willing to pledge loyalty to me, I can grant you one request that I can fulfill." Rhodes said.
"Go to hell! I'd rather be killed than become someone's slave. I'm not born to be anyone's dog." Despite the intense torment, Belial Atrocious was still extremely stubborn.
"How about I summon Marie for you? Do you want the Mother of Ultra?" Rhodes said with a sly smile.
Belial's blackening was fundamentally because of the Mother of Ultra!
