Chapter 4 - Part 3(The Ending Part)

Onia was confused when she heard why Erebus called her the Goddess of Light. As soon as he held her hand, she felt like she was in his mind. She regained consciousness and found herself floating in darkness, before Erebus's red eyes appeared.

Erebus: This was "Our" beginning when you and me weren't even existed. Only chaos and emptiness dominating the whole universe until the birth of me The First Darkness of Universes.

After a while, small white spots slowly appeared.

Erebus: And that was you The First Light of Universes.

Onia: What happened after that?

Suddenly, the scene before her changed. In front of her were the figures of a young man whose body was only pitch black and a young woman whose body was only white light. They collided until their bodies fused together and exploded violently.

Erebus: We both have a conflict. You want to create lives and universes and I don't so we have to fight in the end.

The scene illustrates the day they're having a conflict "Light Goddess! Your decision is completely wrong!" Erebus furious speaking voice said to her. "Erebus don't you think about the beautiful futures we'll soon have? You know well about the consequence if we don't make lives...we'll disappear forever." Light Goddess trying to persuade him but no use "You want you see the cycle of eternal agonizing pain and suffer?" This shows Erebus statement he won't accept.

"But...it is our fate to do this obligation...the importance of our existence." Erebus went silent before saying again "If we both create the universe, we have to be separated forever..." Erebus said. "Our true love can't be taken...even if we have to be separated but I will always be everywhere for you." Light Goddess said with her soften voice. "So, you...really decided...fine." Erebus spoke in a tone of resentment. "If you really decided in this way, I ought to fight! So, I won't feel our love again!" Erebus said with his anger. "If you wish that way so I do..."

The scene cuts to the two fighting and before they both fall apart, Erebus says his final words, "We'll meet again!" Light and darkness spread across the Infinite Realm. It turned into countless energies and eventually became the universe as it is today.

Erebus: Do you aware you are the reason of this war.

When Erebus finished speaking, the scene before her returned to normal. Tears streamed down her face as if she had received information that she should not have known. A wealth of information that could not be fully described.

Onia: Why it was me?

Erebus: The universes have no meanings without you.

Erebus gently grabbed Onia's hand before she quickly pulled it away.

Onia: Please do not make a trouble. If I am with you, and you won't occur the war so I will live with you.

She pleaded with Erebus, crying, which made Erebus angry.

Erebus: Why do you have so much mercy to those fictitious creatures?

Onia: What do you mean fictitious? If they're fictitious so, I am.

Erebus was silent for a moment before Onia spoke again.

Onia: Please, I do respect you and I don't' really want to say this but...isn't it too selfish?

When Onia scolded him, Erebus spoke with a trembling voice.

Erebus: You've never cared my feeling...you've never known how much I love you.

He gently stroked her cheek before Onia lowered his hand.

Onia: If you love me then do not trouble others. Make it easy just let me live with you...

Erebus: No... You cannot remain in this body. You are now a human being. You have a lifespan. Eventually, you will leave me.

Onia: Even though we may not be together forever, there will still be a long time for us to be together... But how did you know I was the Goddess of Light you were talking about?

Erebus: Have you ever wondered where your magical powers came from? Have you ever wondered how you were born?

Erebus' words made her realize that throughout her life, there was a story of herself that even she didn't know.

Erebus: I knew after you used your power in that battle on Earth to protect them from my power.

Ater: Lord Erebus! The intruders are threatening us.

Erebus: How did they get in here!?

When Onia turned around, she saw that all the Ultramans had gathered there. Mebius, who was flying above, saw Onia and quickly rushed over to her. He shrunk down and picked her up in his arms before flying back up quickly.

Mebius: Miss Onia, are you alright?

Onia: I'm fine thanks for helping me.

Mebius flew back to join the hundreds of other Ultras floating in mid-air. Erebus was curious when he saw the hundreds of Ultras floating in mid-air.

Erebus expands his body to the same size as the Ultras and flies up, ready to fight. Despite facing the Ultra Father and his army, he shows no sign of fear.

Ultra Father: So, you are Erebus. We're here to defeat you!

Erebus replied with an annoyed tone. He would not be the one to fight back, but would be the subordinate instead.

Erebus: I won't waste my time, Ater! Get them!

Upon receiving the order, Ater awoke thousands of soldiers. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ultra Father called for the Ultras to retreat.

Ultra father: Mebius quickly get Miss Onia out of here!

He didn't hesitate and quickly flew her away.

Erebus: You coward! Chase them and get Light Goddess back here!

Erebus orders his soldiers to chase after the Ultras. Before they are attacked, they all use the Travel Sphere to escape from this dimension. When Erebus sees the Ultras disappearing before his eyes, he becomes extremely angry.

Erebus: You'll pay for this!

The scene cuts to the return journey, where Mebius talks to Onia while they are in the Travel Sphere together.

Mebius: We were anxiously finding you. I can't imagine how brave you are to come this scary place alone.

When she heard she got a curiosity how did they know where to find her.

Onia: How did you know I went there?

Mebius: Mister Hikari, didn't tell you that the Travel Sphere had a tracking system. And another reason I was being rude was that I overheard you talking to that monster guy.

She turned to look at his face in shock.

Mebius: Seeing that, I secretly followed you. When I saw you using the Travel Sphere to go out alone, I immediately went to ask Mister Hikari. When I heard, I immediately reported it to the others, fearing that something bad would happen to you.

Onia felt so touched by his concern that she couldn't believe Erebus' words. Suddenly, a picture flashed through her mind. It was a short moment, but it was filled with a variety of emotions. Before she regained consciousness, everyone had returned to the star.

The scene cuts to Erebus, who, after failing to track down Onia, hastily reverts to his original form, feeling that he has lost a lot of his power. As he was walking up to the throne, he suddenly felt his knees give out and he fell to the ground. Ater had to rush over to support him.

Ater: Lord Erebus, are you alright?

Erebus: I was to rush using my power...they'll know who they are messing with.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps slowly approaching. Erebus and Atha turned to look in the direction of the sound. It turned out to be an old woman. That is the old lady that Onia saw at that time, along with her granddaughter(?), it would be better to call them the disciples, walking together.

When Erebus saw this, he made a gesture and his eyes widened in shock, and he called her name in a cold voice.

Erebus: Theah...

The old woman smiled when she heard her name being called. The scene cuts to Onia. As she sits down to rest, she feels something inside her shirt. When she pulled it out, she was shocked. It was a necklace that she had kept on her vanity table. She wondered how this necklace got here. When she looked closely, she noticed that something had changed.

At first, it was just a crescent moon shape, but now it had turned into a full moon. At that moment, before she noticed, a glowing character appeared on her sleeve again ᛚᛁᚷᚺᛏ. Suddenly, as the runes disappeared, the moon shape on her necklace suddenly shone brightly, startling her.

Onia: What is happening!?

Someone's voice said to her, "It's time to know the truth." It was the warm voice she had heard on the bus that time. Suddenly, her body slowly floated up, and the sight in front of her turned into a white light.

"Wake up, little one." Hearing the woman's call made her regain consciousness.

Onia: Where am I...again.

As soon as she opened her eyes, her necklace floated slightly above her head and transformed into a young woman who looked similar to her, or rather, it could be said that she was another woman. But this young woman had a calm demeanor and her attire indicated that she was not an ordinary person. She stared at the young woman before asking.

Onia: Who are you?

That young woman smiled before responding back.

???: "I am your light."

Onia gasped.

Onia; This speech...in my dream.

While Onia was shocked by what the young woman said, she continued to introduce herself.

Elluc: Universe knows "us" as "Light Goddess" and my name is "Elluc"

Elluc's words left Onia speechless. If the real Goddess of Light was here, then what did she mean by being called the Goddess of Light? And what did she mean by "us"? When Elluc saw the confused look on Onia's face, she began to explain the background.

Elluc: I might confuse you now even Erebus couldn't even identify us. But over all you are "Onia" one of my missing shards.

Onia: Your shards?

To make it easier to explain, Elluc uses her powers to create a simulation universe for visualization, where a space filled with light is covered in darkness and slowly appears as an image of the time before the universe existed.

Elluc: Light Goddess and Darkness God both have 3 shades in their bodies. Mine are life, light and future. Erebus's death shadow and past. After our shattering our shades combined together and created lives to every unfathomable where became "present"

When the explanation ended, the scene returned to normal.

Onia: So, the thing he told me is true...

When Elluc heard she spoke with annoyed voice.

Elluc: The tragedy of our conflict?

Onia: How did you know?

She asked with surprising voice made Elluc giggled a bit.

Elluc: You shouldn't trust his every word he said. He's so sly that he can do everything he wants. There are so many facts you've never known about him. Love is just a concealer of his irresponsibility.

Elluc's eyes immediately showed displeasure, but she changed the subject and answered Onia's question.

Elluc: Well, I should stop talking about that it'd make you head ache, it's just a past anyway. Oh, right by the way how did I know because "She" helped me.

Onia: "She"? Who?

Elluc: The only survivor of prophecy witch in the universe, "Theah", the witch who helped me find the missing shards, or you, by that moon necklace.

The scene cuts back to Erebus and Theah standing and talking.

Erebus: What are you doing here.

Theah: I'm here to tell you something/

Erebus: What is your really intention.

Theah: You are The God of Darkness yet your obligation hasn't done yet.

Erebus: What do you mean.

Theah: You and the Goddess of Light created the universes together, but the combined power was only a fraction. After your body was shattered into energy, all the worlds you see, even though they look real, are fake.

The scene swapped to Elluc and Onia.

Elluc: Everything that's happening is only fictitious or it's just temporary and yes everything has its own limited time.

Onia: What if the time ran out...

She showed Onia a vision of a vast universe slowly fading into darkness, leaving nothing behind.

Elluc: If we don't seal the universes they will be consumed. So, this is the most crucial duty of us The Goddess of Light and The God of Darkness.

Onia: Then how to seal?

Elluc: I have to collects 2 shards of me which in front of me now.

Onia: How many shards in my body?

Elluc uses her power to project an image of Onia inside her body. Two lights float out to reveal her components clearly.

Elluc: There are two shards in you. You are the second part, and the power you use is the third part.

Onia: This means you are the first part so if we combine together now, you'll get your whole power back?

Elluc: That's right...yet this is not enough we need Erebus's power too.

Onia: So, why don't you go to see him?

Elluc rolled her eyes and remained silent for a while before turning back and speaking.

Elluc: You will figure out when the right time come by the way do you have any questions?

Onia: I want to know if my power is creation but why I didn't realize I built the Ultras Planet up?

Elluc giggled.

Elluc: Universal power with 13 years girl might not be usual thing.

Onia's expression upon hearing this made her gasp in slight shock, and the scene cut to Theah and Erebus.

Theah: You know well the consequence if you don't seal the universes. So, why?

Theah asked in a soft voice, but it was filled with pressure.

Erebus: Because I don't want to lose her...forever.

Theah: But the consequence could be worse than if you were separated from her but still stayed together, or worse than if you both were to fall apart at that time.

A flashback to when they were still together, in Elluc's free time she would create little stars to decorate the emptiness, she would conjure up little lives inside her little star. She invited Erebus to come and see the work, but he seemed uninterested. However, she still kept the star and talked to Erebus.

Elluc: Look at these stars even there are few stars here still beautiful but it could be more beautiful...

Erebus quickly put his finger to her mouth.

Erebus: Light Goddess please don't you ever think about that.

Elluc: But...

Erebus: You will be gone...for good and I have to drown into the darkness alone without you.

Elluc: before I could I still need you to help. Our shards must be combined first this means we still be together anyway.

She turned around then Erebus silently came to hug her.

Erebus: I won't let you go anywhere.

Elluc: But...we will be vanished without doing any goods. Do you really prefer that way?

He let her go Erebus turned away from Elluc in frustration. Until more than 3000 years passed, Elluc, who created stars to relieve loneliness, which turned into thousands of planets, one day the first star she created became a civilization and became the Planet of Witches. The beginning of the birth of the witch of the prophecy, Elluc, upon seeing the creature, rushed to tell Erebus with joy.

Elluc: Erebus come to look what I just did!

Erebus: Those are...lives? You created?

Elluc nodded happily, but on the other hand, it made Erebus even more worried.

Erebus: Her creation power grew stronger...

He whispered without her noticing. After looking for a while Elluc asked him to visit the planet.

Elluc: Let's visit inside this planet!

The two of them shrunk themselves down to a small size, and upon entering, they saw creatures roaming about everywhere. The power of this planet was driven by magic, so its inhabitants had various abilities. But as they continued walking, they came across a witch who was prophesying the future for other witches. As the two of them approached, the witch who was prophesying with her eyes closed suddenly spoke up. "The shadow of darkness will consume the universe. The only light that shines in the darkness. It is the light of the Starter, and harmony will embrace the universe..."

When Erebus heard, he immediately asked Elluc to leave this place.

Erebus: Let's get out of here...now.

Before they left, the witch said something.

Theah: You can not escape fate and remember my name...Theah.

Erebus clenched his fists before angrily leading Elluc off the planet.

Elluc: Please don't mention her words maybe she didn't speak about us.

Erebus: From now on I won't let you create these pathetic planets again!

Enraged, Erebus carelessly charged at the planets created by the God of Light and destroyed them, much to her shock and her begging him to stop.

Elluc: No! Erebus please, stop!

He didn't listen to her words and set out to destroy almost all the planets, and the last planet left was the Witch Planet behind the Goddess of Light.

Elluc: Except this one please...this is my first creation.

Erebus: Goddess of Light I'll ask you politely get away from that planet.

She shook her head and blocked the star with her body. However, because he was more furious at this star than any other, he didn't hesitate and rushed in to deal with the star along with... the Goddess of Light.

Erebus: Elluc...

The Witch Planet slowly collapsed along with the Goddess of Light, her body slowly disintegrating into three pieces. Erebus, who saw his lover disintegrate before his eyes, destroyed himself as well. Their energies exploded and combined to create this simulated universe.

But even though the Witch Planet had been destroyed, the only survivor was Theah, who had been floating aimlessly for ages. Until the planets were born again and the scene cuts back to the present.

Erebus: I lost my mind and it drove me mad for the unbearable action.

Theah: I also associated in this action but alas the fate has already been drawn.

Erebus: By the way, I have a question. What did you mean by those "words" you said?

Theah: Nothing can escape the shackles of fate, not even the Creator of the universe. Erebus, let me ask you this in return.

Although Theah's answer was unclear and made him feel somewhat uneasy, he agreed to answer Theah's question.

Erebus: What do you wish to know.

Theah: Why did you lie to Onia that Goddess of Light and God of Darkness were fighting instead of telling truth.

Erebus: You wouldn't want to tell someone you love... that you've hurt them. Besides, her memories are gone. I'd rather feed her information that will make me feel the least guilty than make her hate me.

Theah: But what you said was like slandering the Goddess of Light, even though she had done nothing wrong.

Erebus: The universe sees me as a villain anyway....but wait.

But as they were talking, Erebus thought back to the name Theah had called.

Erebus: You said Onia...so how did you know her new name?

Teah: Why wouldn't the person who raised her since she was a baby and named her know her name?

The scene cuts to Onia and Elluc, where she is telling Onia the truth. Elluc reveals that the moon necklace that has been with her all along is actually a collector of information about Onia's life from her birth to the present.

Elluc: And this is how I know everything. Alright, I think we should call it a day...or night now and if you wish to see me again just think.

As Elluc finished speaking, the image in front of her gradually distorted as if she had been sucked into a black hole. When Onia came to, she found herself sitting in the same place. She had her hand on the moon necklace. Before Mebius rush towards her, he shrunk down and sat beside her.

Mebius: Miss Onia you are here!

He spoke in a flustered tone and was panting.

Onia: What's the matter? Why you look so anxious.

Mebius: I came to see you but didn't see you and I thought you were going any dangerous places again...where have you been?

Onia: I...

She was silent for a moment, staring at his innocent face before she spoke up about the gift.

Onia: Well, let's talk about your present! Do you have some special gift in your mind?

Hearing the question, he crossed his arms and tapped his chin with one finger, then tilted his head slightly as if in thought.

Mebius: I really have no idea what to wish for...maybe just want you to live along with me forever.

His words made her feel relieved. The thousand and one things in her mind instantly disappeared.

Onia: If we can successfully heal the universes I'll invite you to Earth frequently.

Mebius, although he saw her smiling face, her voice was slightly shaky, making him feel concerned.

Mebius: Are you having something on your shoulders?

When asked, her smile gradually disappeared. To avoid making him suspicious, she claimed she wanted to go out for a walk.

Onia: I want to take some breath outside.

Mebius: Can I go with you?

Onia: Thanks, but I want my personal moment. I'll be right back.

She flew out of the room and found a quiet place to sit and think about what she had encountered today. There were still many questions she wanted to know, and she thought back to Elluc's words. If she wanted to talk, she could call her. She then took out the necklace. She closed her eyes and opened them again to find Elluc standing in front of her.

Elluc: I didn't expect to see you again this early.

Onia: Miss Elluc, I want to make sure my questions I still haven't got answers.

When Elluc saw her worried expression, she hugged Onia before speaking again.

Elluc: I know it's hard for you to bear the fate of this universe. I'll answer all your questions.

Onia: Why Lord Erebus doesn't want you to seal the universe?

This question has always been like a thorn in her heart. Every time she thinks about it, it hurts her, but she still answers.

Elluc: Sealing universes permanently can make even the factitious creatures or things be really existed. Vice versa it's a double edged-sword. My abilities that living in me are creation so I have to sacrifice myself to seal the whole universes. On the other hand, Erebus must govern the eternal cycle in darkness alone without me. This is the reason.

Onia nodded in understanding and asked another question in her mind.

Onia: I have another question. I'm just the shards that shattered out from you. If I merge into you, will I disappear?

Elluc's expression changed and she nodded slightly. She understood what Onia was asking and the purpose of the question, but she left a comforting word in the end.

Elluc: I can feel you and I'm sure your soul won't go anywhere they will last forever wherever you go. You are the best and you know this responsibility isn't for our universe but for others too.

Onia: I know...but I just don't understand why there is only one me.

Elluc: Do you know multiverse? People believe in other universes must be many of their existence. But you are different, you are the only one shard of the only one Light Goddess that ever existed. You are special.

Onia slowly raised her head and smiled. Elluc gently wiped her tears away.

Elluc: But right now, there's not much time left in the Temporal Universe. We need to convince Erebus quickly and end this as quickly as possible.

Onia: That's right, thank you for your answers I hope we'll meet again soon.

The two hugged each other before her vision distorted again. When she regained consciousness, she flew back to her lodgings and saw Mebius sitting quietly waiting for her. Before she entered the room, she turned to stare at him without him noticing, with many thoughts. Before she entered, Mobius noticed her, causing him to rush over without any word.

He immediately hugged her, causing her to flinch slightly, knowing that she had to worry about Mebius. She was about to tell him that she was fine, but before she could, he lightly placed his finger on her lips.

Mebius: I know what can soothe you.

He unexpectedly changed from hugging her to carrying her and flew her out at high speed, startling her before she burst out laughing.

Mebius: Close your eyes.

He whispered softly in Onea's ear. She giggled before closing her eyes.

Onia: What now?

Mebius: It's a secret.

His excited words made her smile even more. He had used his power to transmigrate to a certain place, and when he arrived, he whispered to her, telling her to open her eyes.

Mebius: Alright, now open your eyes.

She slowly opened her eyes and was shocked to see a beautiful blue planet that was not destroyed. It was a planet without life but could shine with the gems in the stars. Its light shone everywhere, its radius spanning several kilometers. Onia stared at the star with emotion. Mebius released her from his hold and let her fly beside him.

Onia: What made you brought me here?

She smiled and asked, her eyes unable to take their eyes off the star.

Mebius: Did you know this star's name like you.

She looked at his face before laughing.

Onia: Haha, this star is Onia? What a surprise.

Suddenly, he held her hand, causing her to blush slightly.

Mebius: Its meaning is "the light of God." It is not illuminated by any star, but by a light that comes out and shines forth from within itself, just like you, Miss Onia.

It was the happiest moment for both of them, and one they will never forget. The scene slowly zooms away from the two of them and fades to black, cutting to Erebus sitting on his throne. One hand supporting his chin and the other hand tapping his index finger as if he was thinking about something. He turned to look at Theah, who was sitting and sipping tea with her two disciples, and suddenly he asked something.

Erebus: Is it true she doesn't need to rely on me to seal the universe?

Theah: It's true.

Erebus clenched his fist and pounded the edge of the throne before turning to speak to Theah.

Erebus: Impossible she must rely on my power and you said it yourself, didn't you?

Theah: It's possible, Lord Erebus. The reborn Goddess of Light level is even more powerful than her previous form.

Erebus: I know you are lying how did you know she's that powerful.

Theah: There are many things you don't know. Remember the army that came towards you? They all were born from her power.

Erebus: How did she know what they looked like?

Theah: The things she created came from what she saw in the Earth, from the passion and love in her heart. But... the greatest power from what she created was the first thing she created.

Erebus: So how can I know what is the first thing she created.

Theah: The one she is ready to protect, and the one who is ready to protect her.

Hearing this made Erebus think back to the events of Onia, and finally, there was only one clear answer.

Erebus: That red guy...

Theah: She doesn't know yet how powerful the thing around her is, but it won't be long...

Before she could finish speaking, Erebus had already stood up from his throne and was ready for Ater to prepare his army. Theah, who had seen this, smirked slightly before he approached her and forced a question on her.

Erebus: Tell me the exact place where she's living now.

Erebus lifted her up, startling her two disciples, but she calmly raised her hand to tell them to stay put. She showed no fear of the enraged Erebus.

Theah: If you wish to know I will tell you but you must make me a promise.

Erebus gently lowered her to the ground, and she showed him the image before her: a radiant emerald star, a city of light in a nebula known as Nebula M-78. When he knew the location, he ordered Ater to prepare the army, but Theah forbade him.

Theah: Stop...the promise I'm about to tell you is that if I tell you exactly where she is, you must go and talk to her without your entire army. Furthermore, this is for your own benefit. You've already caused her enough pain.

Erebus: I must show her that everything I've decided not to do is because of her, because of my love for her. From my initial idea to devour the universe to the war, everything I've had to cancel is because of her.

Theah: You should know the Goddess of Light very well. You should know what kind of person she is. I'm sure if you try to talk to her calmly, she'll soften to you.

Erebus: I will try to do as you suggest. Lead the way.

Suddenly, when Ater was about to follow Erebus, he was forbidden to follow him and ordered to stay and watch here.

Erebus: You! Stay here.

Ater: Yes...

Erebus and Theah set off quickly, leaving their two disciples with Ater. During their journey, Erebus noticed that parts of the universe, far away, seemed to be slowly fading into darkness.

Erebus: What's happening over there?

Theah turned to look with a shocked expression.

Theah: It's coming.

He looked at Theah with confusion before she turned back with worried expression.

Theah: The universe is disappearing, just as I predicted. There is not much time left.

Just as Theah and Erebus were about to arrive, Mebius and Onia, who were returning, happened to meet. It was as if fate had decreed that they would meet. As soon as they met, the four were surprised, and on Mebius' side, without saying a word, he tried to take Onia to escape to the City of Light, but Theah shouted at them to stop and listen to him.

Theah: Onia! Mebius! Wait...he comes in peace.

Onia and Mebius, upon hearing her name, stopped and turned to look, wondering how she knew their names. They decided to fly back to Erebus and Theah, and at that moment, Onia saw Theah's face and was shocked because it was the same granny she had met.

When the four of them were all together, Erebus initiated the conversation.

Erebus: Whoever you are Onia or Goddess of Light but I will call you Light Goddess.

Mebius, upon hearing Erebus calling her, quickly turned to look at her face in shock. Onia herself slowly turned to look at his face, and her expression was full of worry. She held his hand and whispered to him.

Onia: Easy...

He didn't say anything, only nodded before Erebus continued.

Erebus: Let me get to the point... I'm here to... ask you to stay with me. I want to spend as much of our last moment with you as possible.

Onia: What do you mean...last moment.

Erebus: I will not allow you to seal the universe! Since we are all going to disappear together, all I want is to be with you.

Theah: Erebus...What have you just said!?

Erebus: Didn't you say yourself that if I don't do the war, I won't do the war, but in exchange, the Goddess of Light will be with me!

Moebius was furious when he heard this and spoke loudly.

Mebius: I won't let you take Onia! No matter how ridiculous it is, I will never give you someone important!

Erebus grabbed Onia's hand and tried to pull her in.

Erebus: You nosy red one! Don't you dare touch my bride! She's been my mate since before you were even born!

Suddenly, Mebius's body burst into flames, turning into a pattern of flames or a Burning Brave body. But when Erebus saw this, he laughed at him.

Erebus: Did I fill your anger fuel? Hahaha.

Mebius lets go of Onia and delivers a fireball punch to Erebus, sending him flying. Theah, seeing the situation, quickly orders the two to stop fighting, but neither listen.

Erebus, who was trying to fight back, remembered that his body's energy had not yet fully recovered, and that being attacked would only worsen his condition. Suddenly, while everyone was distracted, he quickly grabbed Onia.

Onia: Get off me!

Erebus, who was about to escape with Onia, was quickly chased by Mebius. Just as Erebus was about to open the dimensional door, the unexpected happened. He could not return to his own dimension, no matter how many times he used his power, the dimensional gate could not be opened.

And then, Mebius caught up with him and launched himself at Erebus. At high speed, he managed to grab Onia safely. After that, he released Onia and gained enough speed to create a massive explosion that slammed into Erebus.

Erebus' body was almost shattered by the impact, but could a universe-level power really stop there? And of course, what Ater could do, Erebus could do too. After he was still for a while, he suddenly laughed. Erebus slowly raised his head as the power in his hand was attacked by Mebius. Soon, the golden orange power turned black and returned to Erebus' body. Although the power was returned only slightly, it was able to heal some of his injuries.

But after that, he returned to wondering about the dimensional door that he could not open.

Erebus: What happened to my dimensional portal...

When he touched it, he saw that someone had locked the door so it wouldn't open. He knew immediately who did it. In a fit of rage, Erebus used his power to increase his speed and rushed back towards the three of them before they could escape. But this time, he didn't go for Mebius or Onia, but Theah instead.

Theah's neck was unexpectedly squeezed tightly by Erebus. She tried to use her hands to resist but to no avail.

Erebus: You tricky old witch!

Onia, seeing Theah being strangled, turned around and tried to help, but Theah turned around and smiled at her, before she turned back and said something with a mocking expression.

Theah: You are in my trap.

She conjured her magic staff and stabbed it into Erebus' chest. He stared at the staff piercing his chest and was unable to move. She tried to pull out the fragments of him with all her might. The light emanating from him gradually grew brighter, and it seemed as if three fragments of Erebus were about to emerge.

Erebus, seeing this, slashed his hand hard at Theah's stomach. In another dimension, both of Theah's disciples and Ater could feel the danger of their seniors.

Eos: Master is in danger!

Ater: The shards in Lord Erebus...

Eos: Eossa we must help her!

Eossa: Won't the plan go wrong?

When Ater heard the two talking, he immediately turned to ask.

Ater: What plan are you talking about?

The scene cuts back to Theah and Erebus, who are both in equally bad shape.

Erebus: Let's see how long your disciple can endure sealing the dimensional gate and letting their master suffer.

Even though she was injured, due to her years of experience as a witch, this pain was no longer enough to shake her.

Theah: I have nothing more to pass on to them. I have nothing more to worry about for them. For the goddess of light and the universe that has kept me alive until now, I am willing to give my life for it!

Erebus: Theah! You are insolent!

Now, Theah's body is slowly disintegrating, and the magic staff that pulled out the shards are almost successful, but then something appears. When she turns to look, she sees Ater and her disciples. Erebus sneered and laughed, and when Theah was distracted, he pulled out her staff and broke it in half, causing the shards to re-enter his body.

After breaking free, Erebus violently threw Theah's body away, but Erebus was also badly injured, so Ater quickly came to support him. And on Theah's side, her two disciples came to receive her. When she saw her disciples' faces, she asked a question with a disappointed tone.

Theah: Eos...Eossa...why?

Eos: We can't stand to watch you suffer, master...

Eossa: Why won't you let us help you? Why are you risking yourself like this?

The two disciples hugged her with tears in their eyes. Sensing her disciples' concern, she spoke to them in a gentle tone and with a warm smile of a master.

Theah: I entrust you two to help the Goddess of Light...

As she finished speaking, she stroked her disciple's cheeks with a smile and slowly faded into light in the arms of her two disciples.

Eos/Eossa: Master...

Mebius and Onia, who were watching, could not bear the sadness. This made Onia make a wish that she would save the universe. Even Elluc, who was inside the necklace, whom she wanted to go out and save so badly, was also saddened. On Errebus' side, looking helpless, Ater advised him to go back and recover.

Ater: We should retreat.

Ater was about to open a dimension to take Erebus in but was stopped.

Erebus: There's no going back...All I need is Light Goddess.

Ater: But I'm afraid...

Erebus: Silence! Go and gather the entire army here. I will destroy this planet completely.

But soon after, millions of Ultra warriors were seen slowly flying towards Erebus, which surprised him. The Ultra Father made a grand declaration to protect the universe.

Ultra Father: Ultra Citizens shall rise and shine in this war!

It turns out that after Theah's disintegrated, her two disciples did not hesitate to grieve, but headed towards the Emerald Star Mountain and announced the entire story to the Ultras. At that time, Ultra Father and his army decided to join forces to start this war.

The cries of millions of Ultras erupted, and the army was finally formed. Erebus looked down at the emerald planet with millions of Ultras ready to attack. But soon, Erebus' side also appeared. At that moment, he expanded his body to be as big as the Ultras, along with thousands of ranks of thousands of people, facing each other.

Ultra Father: Let's end this now!

The two sides began to clash fiercely, an unexpected cosmic war erupting. Mebius and Onia were ordered to stay in safety. It wasn't out of cowardice, but the Ultras had learned that Onia's true identity was the Goddess of Light.

In the chaos of the war, Erebus orders Ater to find the Goddess of Light. When Ultra Father learns of this, he orders some of his soldiers to prevent Ater from entering. But due to the power created by the God of Darkness, he was able to easily break through the Ultra Father's army, and it seemed that the Ultras were at a disadvantage.

Cut to them hiding somewhere seemingly safe.

Onia: I hope they will win this fight.

Mebius: I'm sure they will.

As they were talking, someone's footsteps slowly approached. Mebius pulled Onia into a tight embrace. Her heart was pounding faster, was it from fear or... The footsteps got closer, and finally a voice said, "found you..."

Ater finally found them. he tries to attack Mebius to steal Onia, but before they be attacked, he was shot from behind by something. Hikari comes to their rescue just in time, seemingly buying them some time.

Hikari: You two go now!

Mebius takes Onia and flies away to another place. Hikari tries to get Ater's attention, but it's in vain. The only thing it's chasing now is those two. Mebius plans to take Onia to another universe, but no matter which universe they go to, they are almost completely swallowed by darkness. Mebius rushed her back to the beginning universe, but the unexpected happened, as black energy engulfed them inside, almost wiping them out.

But it was good that they finally managed to escape. Now that more than 80 percent of the universes had been swallowed by darkness, there was no other choice, so the two of them stopped running and were ready to fight together.

Mebius: Miss Onia let's fight for our home.

She nodded and was ready to fight against Erebus' side, and suddenly, a character appeared on her sleeve again: ᚠᚢᛏᚢᚱᛖ. As the two held hands, light shone from their bodies and spread out towards the other Ultras, increasing their power. "Light, Life, and Future," the runes formed on her sleeves, had already fully appeared.

This light was like a shield, and any Ater who tried to snatch her would be thrown far away. From being at a disadvantage, but after gaining power, the Ultras were able to almost completely wipe out the Darkness Army. Could this really be the end of the God of Darkness?

Ultra Father flies in with a triumphant stance, declaring Erebus' defeat with a confident tone.

Ultra Father: Surrender now Lord Erebus. You lost.

Erebus stood silent for a moment before he showed his defeat and said in a desperate tone.

Erebus: You've won... All I want is to be with the person I love and atone for my sins... Now the entire universe is disappearing...

As Erebus was speaking, he felt something in his large chest, a gentle hand reaching out to comfort him. Onia looked up at the giant figure and spoke in a gentle tone.

Onia: We can still fix it...don't dwell on past mistakes.

Erebus: Light Goddess...

Erebus ran his gigantic finger over her cheek, but then he grabbed her in his fist, shocking everyone who saw it. The Ultra Father saw this and without hesitation ordered the Ultras to attack him at once. In front of Erebus, the only thing he saw was the light from the Ultras' powers slowly shooting at him, making the universe seem to slow down.

Erebus was unable to escape, but seeing that the beam was dangerous to Onia, he let go and used his index finger to push her away, only to be caught by Mebius. He watched the beam of attack uncontrollably approaching. Even with the ability to absorb energy, he couldn't handle such a massive attack.

But suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of him, and spread arms as a shield. When he looked, he saw that it was Ater who had taken the attack instead. Hundreds and thousands of rays of light shot straight at Ater. When the attack was over, Ater turned to Erebus, severely wounded, and used this last moment to say something.

Ater: I'm glad to see you're safe.

Erebus: Ater, why did you do this!?

Ater: Because I... want to protect the person I respect as...father.

Erebus: Father...

Atha: The only thing I've been trying to tell you for ages... is... I want you to accept me as your son... No matter how good or bad you are to me, I've never thought of running away from you... I've always been happy to serve you, Lord Erebus...

As he finished speaking, Ater's body slowly disintegrated into dust, and within his body, Soul Light had accumulated. Because in Ater's mind, he had never thought negatively about Erebus. He thought that the Goddess of Light and the God of Darkness would end up together, so he specially kept this last piece of Soul Light.

The loss of Erebus' most important shadow made him realize the selfishness he had long felt. His anger towards Ater made him feel guilty and eventually repent, in order to heal and seal the universe.

Erebus: I have caused so much suffering to others. It is time for me to pay... Goddess of Light and Mebius. If you wish to seal the universe, come with me.

They both nodded. Erebus's plan was to use his own body to replace the missing parts of the universes that had been swallowed, like a new piece of drawing paper. He disappears into the various universes that are being devoured and uses himself to slowly replace all the missing parts. Then, no matter which universe he is in, his speech will be heard by all.

Erebus: Mebius take her to the place which my shards were located.

Mebius: Got it!

Erebus: Goddess of Light you know your duty well, right?

Feeling guilty for having deceived Erebus for so long, she decided to tell the truth.

Onia: There is one thing you have to know...actually I'm not the true Goddess of Light.

Erebus: What...

Mebius: We've got not much time left we have to initiate the plan now. Ultra Father please take everyone back to City of Light.

Ultra Father: Got it.

The Ultra Father has been bringing all the Ultras back to the stars and has finally begun the plan " The shadow of darkness will consume the universe". After the start of Erebus, it will be Onia and Mebius's turn to do so. He had taken her across dimensions to find the shards that was in some universe, but it seemed like a difficult task, as the universe was too vast to search easily, and they had forgotten to ask Erebus.

But suddenly, Elluc's voice spoke from the necklace, "The universe of the beginning, where the shards reside."

Onia: Could you lead us?

A white dimensional door appeared in front of them. The two of them immediately entered the dimensional portal, but upon entering, they found nothing but emptiness. "The only light that shines in the darkness. It is the light of the Starter" The words echoed in her head, making her think of something.

Onia: Mebius back to your normal size.

Mebius: Yes!

After that, his body returned to its original size. Onia flew close to the Color Timer and used light energy to infuse it into his body. As his body rose above Mebius's body, it began to glow brighter and brighter. And finally, that light spread out and created a new form for Mebius that was like a diamond, radiating colorful light throughout every molecule. This form was called "The Prism of Eternal Light."

He looked at his body that had changed and was filled with a fierce power. The light within him shone brightly until he could finally see the three fragments. Erebus, knowing that they had finally found the fragments, told him to finish it as quickly as possible. Onia summoned Elluc and prepared to merge with her. The necklace had completely transformed into a young woman. Elluc's light remained the same as when she first came here.

When Erebus saw Elluc, he thought back to what Onia had said and understood the whole situation. His voice echoed throughout.

Erebus: All this time... it wasn't you, Goddess of Light...Elluc. Why didn't you come to me all this time?

Elluc looked up at Erebus. She giggled softly and smiled.

Elluc: You remember my name, don't you? The reason I didn't come out to see you wasn't because I was angry with you. But I knew that if I went out during a time when you still hadn't forgiven me and were stuck in the past, in the end, the universe would not be sealed, and it would be even worse. But I was lucky that Onia played the role of the Goddess of Light very well.

Erebus: You have really never changed. But what I've always wanted to say to you is... I'm sorry.

Elluc: I never thought I'd hear those words from your mouth. But I don't have much time left. I need to merge with Onia. I'd better give her some time to say goodbye to Mebius.

Hearing this, Mebius quickly shrunk himself and flew closer to them, returning to his normal form.

Mebius: What do you mean goodbye...

When he turned to ask Onia, her face showed pity for Mebius's feelings, as she had never told him about this matter.

Onia: One thing I haven't told you yet is this...to seal the universes. I need to be a part of this...

He held both of her hands tightly.

Mebius: Miss Onia...Why...Can't you not go?

She couldn't hold back her tears as she hugged him and told him her last message, telling him how she felt all the time she had been with him, even for a short time.

Onia: Mebius, this is the most important duty in my life. Don't be sad. Whenever I'm with you, whenever you're by my side, I feel like I'm at "home," feeling warm, like you are part of my family. Thank you...for being "real" for me.

Mebius: Miss Onia, I also have something I want you to know. Thank you for completing my life.

Onia gently rubbed his back and smiled warmly.

Onia: Mebius... You're the one who completes me too... Thank you for being the light in my life. Even though I'm not here, I want you to know that I'll be with you everywhere...

When she finished speaking, it was time for her to go with Elluc, she said as she left.

Onia: I hope you're happy...sorry I can't success of your wish but I prepared a gift for you already. If our fate were real, we would meet again. Farewell Mebius...

Mebius: Miss Onia.

Onia: Thank you for taking care of me.

After that, she floated towards Elluc and held his hand. Elluc turned to look at her and asked in a gentle tone.

Elluc: Ready?

She nodded, and after that, their bodies gradually lit up, and the three shards of Erebus gradually merged with them as well, before finally disappearing into light. Onia gave a final smile and after that, the combined power turned into a light that spread out like when the universe was first created. Mebius could only watch them slowly disappear.

Wherever that light shines through, the planets miraculously regenerate, sometimes creating new planets, and the universe begins to shine again. This holy light shone endlessly throughout the universe, transcending time and existence. As it passed through the City of Light that Onia had created, the Ultras took on the form of true cosmic beings.

But they forgot the name of "her", except for Mebius. He used his power to return to his dimension and looked at the beautiful green emerald star. Although he felt sad, he still had a future to look forward to. The impression he had of meeting her would never fade from his mind, and he promised himself that he would become the protector of the universe, no matter which universe he was in.

And then light traveled into the solar system, restoring all the stars, including Earth. From a lifeless black planet, it gradually changed back to its original vitality. Buildings and houses were repaired like new. Earthlings woke up and could no longer remember the grueling events that had taken place before. It was like a nightmare that had been wiped away. The light of the sun shone down, giving them warmth. It felt like they were reborn.

Ultimately, this magical power restores the world, and the scene cuts to a young woman named Saya, lying unconscious on the floor in her café, which she had built to fulfill her dreams, with...who...?

She slowly sat up, confused as to how she had ended up on the floor.

Saya: When did I fall asleep.

Before she could stand up, she felt something on her left hand. It turned out to be someone's apron with the name "Onia" written on it. But when she looked at the name, she didn't know who "Onia" was. However, she felt good seeing her and feeling her bond for a long time.

Saya: Such a really good name.

She stood up and hung up the apron. At the same moment, a customer entered the café. She greeted him with a smile on her face. The scene slowly zooms out and changes to a place that is the home of... someone. It slowly dissipates like magic dust, floating up into the sky. As the day is setting, the light from the sun shines a bright golden light, while the sky is beautifully shimmering in purple.

After the house disappeared, only one doll remained, an Ultraman Taro doll, lying on the grass, with a gentle breeze blowing.

And the image shifted to a vast sky with a tiny star before slowly darkening and becoming pitch black.
