On the light curtain, despite Zoffy fighting with all his might, he was still no match for Alien Empera.
His body, due to the immense power of the Voice of the Stars, was gradually beginning to show minute flaws.
An ordinary person would have difficulty spotting them, but in the eyes of Alien Empera, this weakness was fatal.
The dark longsword slashed across, carrying with it an endless black sword aura, aiming to cut Zoffy's body in half at the waist.
If not for the power of the Voice of the Stars, the current Zoffy would have likely been cleaved in two by that sword aura...
Light Curtain Commentary—
[Super Scientist Ah Guang: Damn it, to think Alien Empera is this powerful. It's hard to imagine how the Supreme Commander defeated him back then.]
In the Land of Light's laboratory, Hikari was trying to create a final weapon that could be used against both the Swarm and Alien Empera, but he had clearly hit a bottleneck.
[Suicide Bomber Prince: Zoffy-niisan has bought us enough time! The light from humanity's hearts will allow us to transform into Ultra Warriors once again!]
[Director of the Land of Light Meatpacking Plant: That's right. As long as a few of us old bones are still alive, Alien Empera and his gzz subordinates can forget about having their way!]
[The Uchiha Dancer: The Ultra Brothers? What is the meaning of such a battle? Whether in numbers or in power, the disparity is more than just a little.]
In the underworld, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but frown upon seeing the comments from the Ultra Brothers.
What could the Ultra Brothers possibly rely on to defeat Alien Empera and his cosmic fleet that was large enough to blot out the sun? The gap in their combat strength was far too great.
[Yukino Yukinoshita: If you don't fight, you can't survive. Even if the gap is enormous, you must still fight. It is precisely because of this that the Ultra Warriors are called humanity's hope!]
[Fruity: In any battle, even if the difference in strength is vast, victory is never guaranteed for one side. Look... Zero couldn't beat the Swarm King at first, and Zoffy wasn't taken seriously by Alien Empera from the beginning. How can you guarantee that the Ultra Brothers don't have other abilities similar to the Voice of the Stars?]

[On the light curtain, after blasting the entire star system into a pockmarked ruin...
The scales of victory finally tipped towards the darkness, towards Alien Empera.
Zoffy's power was continuously draining away. He could no longer maintain such a high-intensity battle.
And although Alien Empera's condition had also declined, he only felt a slight fatigue.
It was obvious that in the end, darkness had triumphed over light in this battle.
"To be able to fight me to this extent, you should be proud, Ultraman Zoffy."
From within the gap of a dimensional wormhole, Empera raised the sword in his hand, pointing it directly at Zoffy, who was clutching his chest.
His pitch-black cape billowed in space, exuding the air of a king.
At this moment, Alien Empera had thoroughly etched Zoffy's name into his mind.
In all of the Land of Light, Zoffy was the second Ultra Warrior capable of fighting him to this degree.
However, just as Alien Empera was preparing to deliver the final blow, he was surprised to hear the sound of the Swarm's vibrating wings.
"Those ant-like insects were able to come here?"
A black and red light wave instantly shot out from his hand. Empera had no desire to be tainted by the lowly and ugly pheromones of the Swarm.
That stuff, just like light, disgusted him to his very core.
However, the scene that followed left the Dark Emperor stunned.
Over a hundred Swarm Kings appeared, treating his casual attack as nothing, and swarmed forward. Every single one of them possessed Emanator-level combat power, beings who would be renowned figures even in the Ultra Multiverse.
Of course, with Alien Empera's power, he wouldn't be shocked by mere Emanators. What surprised him... was their sheer number.
Even as the Emperor of the Dark Universe, it would be absolutely impossible for Alien Empera to gather such a force.
"Is this the capital the Swarm Empress uses to conquer the universe? Besides those useless grunts, you have a trump card like this?"
"It seems my battle with Zoffy has alarmed you."
In the blink of an eye, Empera had recovered his usual majestic demeanor, his eyes fixed on the swarm of Swarm Kings.
"However..." As if he had thought of something, Alien Empera muttered to himself, "Why did you only command your subordinates to come? Wasn't a moment ago the perfect opportunity for a fisherman to reap the benefits? I truly cannot understand..."
Alien Empera did not continue, but shifted his gaze back to Zoffy.
"Ultra Warrior, you are defeated. Be grateful... I do not intend to kill you. But whether or not you can survive amongst those insects will depend on your own abilities..."
As his voice fell, Alien Empera's figure vanished from the cosmos. It was clear... he was returning to Earth.
At the same time, on the other side of the battle on Earth, the Phoenix Nest was rapidly preparing for the next wave.
Zoffy had bought them enough time. The people of Phoenix Nest would naturally not resign themselves to waiting for death.
"Not good! A large-scale Inpelaizer force has been detected approaching Earth!!"
This time, it was not spatial transfer, but a direct full-scale mobilization. An army of tens of thousands of Inpelaizers, enough to flatten the surface of the Earth in a single minute.]

Light Curtain Commentary—
Upon seeing the hundred-plus Swarm Kings flying in unison, the countless viewers from across the dimensions couldn't help but feel a shiver run down their spines.
Those were Swarm Kings! What kind of power did a Swarm King possess?
They build their nests from planets and can easily annihilate entire star systems.
In the Ultraman multiverse, they were manageable, but in any other dimension, a Swarm King could absolutely be called a world-ending catastrophe.
And now... the Swarm Kings had appeared in a massive group. It had only been a few days.
[Ruan Mei: Phew... Even after studying it for so many years, the Swarm Empress... continues to bring me new shocks.]
[Yukino Yukinoshita: A single Swarm King is at least at the star-destroying level, a powerful being capable of fighting Zero's strongest form. With over a hundred of them together, even Empera would have his hands full. I'm afraid they would have to call upon a powerhouse of Ultraman King's level.]
[Sushang of the Cloud Knights: My goodness! The Swarm Kings are all born from the Voracity, right? That Voracity is really fertile! How many can it have in one go to be this impressive?]
[Jing Yuan of the Luofu: Hmm... Generally speaking, since the Voracity is both an Aeon and an insect, however many offspring a normal insect can have, he should be able to have as well.]
[Slacks Off Playing Celestial Jade: The Swarm Disaster... what's written in the books is way too conservative. It seems the power of an Aeon is just this unreasonable...]
