Ultraman: I really didn’t work hard secretly.

Seth originally wanted to find the Ring of Light to learn about the situation of the Ring of Darkness, but now both the Ring of Light and the Ring of Darkness are ignoring him.

At the foot of Warrior's Peak.

Seth met Orb by chance and learned from Orb that the Dark Ring had the ability to give others dark energy, so he decided to find someone to experiment with it.

After Uub refused, Lopus adopted a 'come at me' attitude.

But Seth, who wanted to conduct an experiment, was hesitant.

I have currently received the energy of the Dark Ring and have not been affected much.

But I am not sure whether others will be affected.

Generally speaking, the energy of robots cannot be simply defined as 'light' or 'dark'; they act according to instructions and are not mentally affected by energy.

But is Lopus an ordinary robot?

Obviously not.

After thousands of years of living together, Seth was very sure that Lopus, 10, Robotzam, the Iron Warrior brothers, and even the two Imperaza, were not simple mechanical creations that followed orders.

They have emotions, can laugh and feel sad, and already have a self and a 'heart'.

It is more appropriate to regard them as normal intelligent life.

And intelligent life will be affected by dark energy to a certain extent...

"What are you hesitating about?" Lopez looked at Seth in confusion as he was still hesitating to take action.

"You're probably worried about the impact the energy will have on your body." 10 analyzed while standing on Seth's shoulder.

"No, come on, I want to become stronger." Lopez vowed.

"Also, when I was transformed by the Batman in the past, he injected a lot of dark energy into my body, so I am compatible with dark energy."

"If you can remain unaffected, then so can I."

"Don't underestimate me." Lopus looked at Seth and signaled Seth not to hesitate and to act quickly.

"Okay, if there's anything that's bothering you, tell me right away."

After hearing what Lopus said, Seth no longer hesitated and reached out to touch the dark circle on his chest.

"Wow..."

As Seth touched his hand on the dark ring and slowly pulled it outward, a ball of pure black energy was drawn out of his body.

Then, driven by Seth, this ball of energy slowly merged into Lopez's body.

Beside him, Orb watched the scene intently: "It's so peaceful, even softer than the light the Ring of Light bestowed upon me at that time."

"Lopus, how do you feel now?" Seth asked expectantly as he watched Lopus absorb all the dark energy.

"I don't feel anything, just a little itchy..." Lopus' red eyes were full of doubts about his own body.

"Do you feel that there are more evil thoughts in your head? For example, wanting to kill people, set fire to things, or destroy the world?" Seth, who knew the nature of the Dark Ring well, continued to ask.

Lopez shook his head and replied, "It's okay, my fists are itching and I want to have a fight."

Then he asked: "Can I go back to the Kingdom of Light to find Mechanical Zam now?"

Seth: “…”

Sure enough, his temper became worse and his violent tendencies became obvious!

Lopus and RoboZam have never gotten along. He just said he wanted to fight, but then he thought of RoboZam. It was obvious that he wanted to go back and fight RoboZam.

"I know you are anxious, but don't be hasty. This is the first time I share the energy of the Dark Ring with others. I need time to carefully observe the changes in your body..." Seth made up an excuse to calm Lopus down.

Hearing that he was now useful for Seth's research, Lopus immediately calmed down: "So what should I do now? Should I stay still and let you continue to observe, or should I stand in the transparent crystal display case?"

Seth waved his hand, "We can just stay in O-50 together for a while."

"Okay." Lopus agreed without thinking.

For the next few days, Seth and his party stayed at the foot of Warrior Peak.

It was also during this time that Seth witnessed the freezing of Warrior's Peak.

First, the weather changed dramatically. Dark clouds gathered above Warrior Peak and heavy snow began to fall.

Heavy snow fell, the temperature dropped sharply, and the Warrior Peak, which was originally a black mountain, turned into a silver-white color.

Strangely, the snow only hit Warrior Peak, while the weather in other parts of O-50 remained the same.

"Did Halo sleep like this before?" Seth looked at Orb beside him.

It was also the first time that Uub had seen such a posture. He shook his head blankly: "The Ring of Light has never acted like this before."

"Is it encountering some difficulties? Why don't we go up and take a look?" Seth looked at the peak shrouded in dark clouds and took two steps forward.

"But when Warrior's Peak was closed, Ring of Light specifically said..." Orb hesitated.

"But you also know that the current situation is very abnormal, right? You don't care about the ring of light?" Seth asked back.

In the end, Orb couldn't resist Seth anymore and finally agreed to accompany Seth to the top of the warrior world.

……

At the foot of Warrior's Peak, Seth looked at Orb, who was lying on the mountain and trying to climb up with his body power, in confusion: "What are you doing..."

"Didn't you say you wanted to go up there and check out the Ring of Light?" Orb was equally puzzled.

"We have to set off quickly before the snow gets thicker, otherwise it will be difficult to climb up."

Seth: “…”

I have seen the Ring of Light so many times, but I have never climbed it.

I have to say that the old man from Halo knows how to train employees.

He clearly has the ability to pull people up directly, and he can obviously not stop flying, but he insists on making his subordinates suffer and climb this ten-thousand-meter-high peak. What is this?

Training obedience while elevating your own status?

After some thoughts went around in his head, Seth suddenly realized something was wrong: "Huh? I used to think that the old guy was cheating people, but I never thought about it this way."

"The Dark Ring is already affecting my mind?"

Smart Seth was sensitive to the changes in his body and became more cautious.

"Don't just stand there. Won't you come up with me?" Ultraman Orb called out.

Seth didn't say anything, but instead floated into the air in the wind and snow, stepped forward and grabbed Ultraman Orb's hand that was clinging to the rock wall.

"I'll take you up with me."

"The pressure on Warrior's Peak has no effect on me."

Then he looked at Lopus and 10 standing on the ground: "Wait for me here."

Soon, Seth led Orb to climb up quickly and saw the peak of Warrior Peak covered with thick snow.

Then, the two giants landed.

Uub stepped on the thick snow and said with emotion: "This is my first time flying to the top of Warrior Peak. It is indeed much easier than climbing."

Seth asked doubtfully, "I know that flying is prohibited near Warrior Peak, but why didn't you talk to the Ring of Light about this before? Aren't you tired of climbing so high to see it every time?"

Uub: "I just thought it was supposed to be this way."
