Chapter 206 Ultraman - Regulus's Defeat (2.7k)

Ultraman Regulus.

He once studied and trained in the Cosmic Beast Fist with Leo, who was still Prince L77, on Planet D60.

However, Leo left midway for unknown reasons, while he continued to study and successfully learned two types of Cosmic Beast Fist!

All of this began to change when an alien named Diaz came to learn.

After resolving the Magma alien invasion, Diaz not only killed Linglan, the female warrior who was learning everything, but also ambushed and killed Master Leiting, the teacher of the Cosmic Beast Fist, in a brutal manner.

He even stole the energy of Master Lei Ting's Cosmic Beast Water Buffalo and learned the Cosmic Beast Fist.

He was imprisoned in order to obtain the secrets of Regulus's body, until sometime later, when the Ultra Clan of the Land of Light rescued him.

To this day, Regulus is still studying in the Land of Light and has joined the Galactic Rescue Team, on the advice of Leo and Atlas.

As the only remaining master and successor of the Cosmic Beast Fist in the world, Regulus believes he is qualified to accept the challenge from the visitors from another world!

"Oh?" Dio sized up the other party.

Regulus is a typical red-type Oo, with his body mostly red except for a few silver patterns on his head and other parts of his body.

According to the setting, Regulus is of the same generation as Leo, but due to some reasons, Regulus is very young and has a great potential to become stronger.

Moreover, he now dares to say that his fist technique is among the best in the entire Land of Light!

"Alright, you're the one." Dio nodded and went to the battle platform with Regulus.

It's a platform-like, floating board, which looks like it's designed to allow Ultraman to fight in a relatively narrow space.

This allows for the control of damage within a certain range, enabling rapid adaptation to and reduction of losses in other areas during extraterrestrial warfare, especially in environments similar to Earth.

Dio didn't care. After playing with such wide, sweeping movements for so long, trying out some techniques occasionally was a good experience!

Other Olympic athletes nearby saw the scene and rushed over to watch the excitement, offering encouragement to both sides.

Regulus gave the people around him his signature Otto nod, then looked at Dio and said, "It's a pleasure to fight you, strongman from another world."

As he spoke, he struck a signature tiger claw pose and looked at Dio.

This move made Dio somewhat nostalgic for the old days, but he still got into position.

Dio doesn't have any particular fighting style; his fighting methods are very ordinary. Generally speaking, when he goes to the battlefield, he fights for his life with weapons and occasionally uses his familiar energy manipulation techniques.

If they run out of weapons, they'll swing their fists and smash as hard as they can.

Simple and direct, but very effective.

Dio had considered learning some kind of boxing or kicking techniques, but he always felt he wouldn't need them.

Yes, it's not needed.

At most, I can learn a couple of knife techniques to deal with emergencies.

Of course, this was Dio's idea before he arrived in the Corpse Brother world.

Dio is now a martial arts master!

However, seeing how serious the other party was, Dio casually assumed a boxing stance first, wanting to see how good the other party was.

Regulus frowned upon seeing this and said, "Are you looking down on me, Your Excellency?!"

Dio shrugged: "I don't know much fighting technique either, I just use brute force. If you can't beat me with that, then you shouldn't fight."

Regulus sighed and said, "Your provocation is indeed effective. Then I shall make a fool of myself!"

"Put it down." Dio rubbed his wrist. "I may not know fighting techniques, but I do know common sense."

Regulus nodded and pounced on Dio like a tiger descending a mountain.

First, a tiger claw came straight at Dio's face. Dio was startled and subconsciously tilted his head to dodge. But then he felt a gust of wind coming from the back of his head. He ducked again and dodged Regulus's backhand swipe.

Then Dio, as if on impulse, punched him in the abdomen, knocking him back.

Reguluston sensed something was wrong and tried to reach out his free hand to block, but he couldn't. Instead, he felt a powerful force strike his abdomen, and his body flew backward in a shrimp-like shape, crashing onto the platform.

Regulus's sudden knockdown startled everyone around him. Even Atlas was taken aback, not expecting Regulus to be knocked down so suddenly. The shouts from before immediately stopped.

Dio hadn't expected that he would actually defeat Leo with a single blow; he had even deliberately set his power to the same level as Leo's.

Then Regulus did a somersault and flipped himself up.

"Impressive! No wonder you're a powerhouse from another world!" Regulus exclaimed, patting his belly.

"Just now, I felt like I was fighting Leo!"

After saying that, Regulus changed his hand gesture again. As a martial arts fan, Dio was very familiar with this move.

This is Dragon Fist!

As expected, Regulus lunged at Dio like a dragon, his claws outstretched.

Dio went straight up to him and smashed him open with a punch.

Although Regulus's attack was interrupted, Dio's center was also opened, and then Regulus flew up and kicked Dio in the face.

Dio was not about to let him succeed. He grabbed Regulus's legs with both hands and then flipped him over, throwing him behind him.

Regulus had never encountered such a fighting style before, and was once again thrown around in a daze.

Regulus's boxing style is similar to that of a mythological boxing style, but Dio has no martial ethics and his fighting style is almost like that of a rogue.

Seeing Regulus knocked down for the second time, the other Ultras looked at each other in disbelief. They never expected that Regulus would be defeated like this, and twice at that!

Seeing the other person's unpleasant expression, Dio chuckled and said, "Alright, enough joking around, I'll be serious too."

Dio helped Regulus up, and Regulus looked at Dio with eyes full of distrust.

"Don't worry, I mean what I say. I really won't pull any tricks this time." Dio smiled, while Regulus's expression seemed to say, "I'll give you a look and you'll see if I believe you."

Dio sighed, "Since we're not going to box, how about we compare weapons?"

Regulus gave him a "Are you kidding me?" look: "How could I possibly beat you if I don't know how to use this thing?!"

"Then let's continue. I haven't fully grasped your Crimson Dragon White Tiger Fist either, have I?"

Faced with Dio's verbal provocation, Regulus had no choice but to assume his stance once again.

Dio also lost his previous relaxed and carefree attitude. Regulus immediately noticed Dio's unusual behavior and became serious as well.

then……

"Crimson Dragon and White Tiger Fist!"

With a flick of his wrist, Regulus unleashed a terrifying energy wave that shot directly toward Dio.

The onlookers were stunned.

You said you could fight, but what's the point of using your ultimate skill at such close range, right up to their face?

Dio was also dumbfounded.

No... you really are immune to mana consumption while staying in the fountain, right?

However, Dio didn't confront him head-on. He flashed to Regulus's side and kicked him away before Regulus could react.

Regulus wasn't annoyed that his skill had been interrupted.

He twisted his body, stepped onto the arena wall, and then pushed off.

He charged straight at Dio!

Dio rarely showed his true skills, and fought against Regulus, who had a tiger claw in one hand and a dragon fist in the other.

This battle was clearly no longer confined to that small platform. The onlookers were startled and, abandoning their excitement, rushed outside.

Mebius was even more stunned. He glanced at the two fighters and tried to stop them.

As soon as he got there, Regulus kicked him away and embedded him in the wall.

As a senior figure in Leo's Cosmic Fist, Regulus is no pushover.

Moreover, Regulus gained the approval of the Cosmic Beast Fist even faster than Leo. Regulus's abilities are no joke, but the special circumstances did not allow Regulus to be so awesome.

After all, the Showa-era predecessors were already incredibly powerful, while the new generation was a mixed bag. What if another Regulus steals the spotlight?

Therefore, in the show, he was assigned to the Galaxy Rescue Team as the fire captain.

Of course, these are just settings, and it's definitely not enough to just look at the settings.

In actual combat, Leo is recognized as the king of fighting!

Despite the relentless punches, even in the spring water, Regulus's limbs were still weak from the blows.

Although Dio's power limit was the same as Leo's, his manipulation of energy was not the same as Leo's!

"What's this?!"

A series of vibrating forces surged into Regulus's body. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late. In no time, Regulus was gone, joining Mebius in death.

"His boxing skills are not bad, but he relies too much on passion. He's only mediocre, not the best, but not the worst either," Dio commented.

Regulus felt his body was acting strangely and was completely out of his control.

"..."

Regulus's body convulsed, and he was unable to speak at all.
