🕑 Added 2025-04-18 03:01:02 +0000 UTC~Projection of All Worlds~
“Why does Himeya Jun continue to fight for such humans?!!”
“To think he was subjected to horrifying human experimentation by the very people he protected!!...”
“The torment he endured through those experiments… The relentless physical and mental toll, the constant risk to his life—it’s unimaginable!”
“Now, after barely surviving, he’s once again dragging his battered body into battle!”
Everyone watching the video felt indignant on behalf of Himeya Jun. They couldn’t understand why he would keep fighting for such ungrateful people.
~Land of Light, Universe Prison~
“How laughable! Himeya Jun… The beings you’re protecting have no value at all.”
In the dark confines of the universe prison, Belial reopened his eyes. His entire body was embedded in the wall, and normally, all he could do was watch videos to pass the time.
Even Tregear, shrouded in the darkness of an unknown world, spoke with a chillingly calm tone:
“Warriors of light! What can your frail, candle-like body possibly achieve in this storm? I’ll be watching closely to see how far you can go!”
Seeing someone who embraced the light despite being surrounded by darkness, Himeya Jun had piqued his interest.
~Inter Galactic Defense Force~
“Ah! It truly is heartbreaking!”
UltraSeven felt a deep pang of sorrow. He could sense the immense pain Himeya Jun must be enduring.
Based on what the Prophet had said earlier, transforming again would undoubtedly lead to his death! Right now, Himeya Jun was merely burning his life away to protect this world.
【 “You seem overly worried about him?”
Just as Megumi Sakuta gazed at Himeya Jun walking away, a sinister voice suddenly echoed in her ear. At that moment, a strange man appeared beside her!
Even though they were meeting for the first time, Megumi Sakuta could sense the dark aura emanating from the man… A feeling of unease wrapped around her heart. Her only thought at that moment was that this person was definitely not someone good.
Meanwhile, guided by the Evoltruster, Himeya Jun kept running forward.
At the same time, at a construction site, the Space Beast’s grotesque tentacles tightly coiled around a worker’s leg, pulling them toward a black vortex in the sky. The worker’s screams faded into silence, and more tentacles emerged to attack the remaining workers.
Himeya Jun, who had just arrived, saw this scene and furrowed his brows. Gripping the Evoltruster in his hand, the Prophet’s earlier warning echoed in his ears once again!
“If you transform and fight again, you might truly die!”
But if he feared death, Himeya Jun wouldn’t be here in the first place! Without hesitation, he drew the Evoltruster from his hand!
Under the brilliant flash of light, Nexus’ figure appeared in the sky once more. With a single strike, he severed the tentacles!
The worker who narrowly escaped death looked up in terror, only to see a towering silver-white giant standing protectively before them.
Nexus stood tall, releasing waves of cutting light from his hands to free the other trapped workers.
However, he was soon restrained by several tentacles. Perhaps due to Himeya Jun’s deteriorated body, Nexus couldn’t evade them!
“Clang! Clang!”
In mere moments, Nexus’ core on his chest began flashing rapidly, emitting warnings of insufficient energy!
It wasn’t until Night Rider intervened that he managed to break free. Breathing heavily, he collapsed onto the ground, his towering form unable to endure any longer, and then vanished completely. 】

“His appearances are getting shorter and shorter! Doesn’t this mean Himeya Jun is reaching his limit…?”
“Right now, his appearances last less than 10 seconds, and his chest core is flashing incessantly!”
“What’s the reason behind his continued fighting? What keeps him going like this?”
~Land of Light, Inter Galactic Defense Force~
“This isn’t good at all!”
As Land of Light’s chief scientist, Hikari was extremely familiar with Ultraman physiology.
Himeya Jun was now fighting to sustain life itself… No, it would be more accurate to say he was using his very life force to sustain the fight!
The cycle of fighting, healing, and fighting again—without rest—had already pushed his body beyond its limits. And then came the human experimentation! His body had long surpassed its breaking point.
~Ultraman Mebius Worldline~
'Monster Professor' Teppei Kuze frowned as he watched Nexus's disappearing figure.
“From appearance to disappearance, it’s been less than 10 seconds… He can’t hold on anymore! Based on past records, when an Ultraman’s chest core stops flashing, they will die.”
“Ultraman can die too?... Does that mean Ultraman is also a living being?”
Aihara Ryū asked in shock.
“Not only that but injuries to the human host affect the Ultraman’s body. The chest core acts as a reflection of the host’s current state!”
Teppei Kuze nodded, referencing past Ultraman records, and continued his analysis.
“This is why Himeya Jun’s condition has exceeded our imagination… Even transforming into Ultraman has become incredibly taxing for him!”
【 Komon Kazuki found the unconscious Himeya Jun in the forest. As he examined Himeya Jun’s battered body, Himeya Jun suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and staggered into the distance.
Komon Kazuki watched as Himeya Jun, his body broken and frail, limped away. Unable to hold back his curiosity, he voiced his question.
“Why fight so desperately? What’s the reason?” 】
.....
~Projection of All Worlds~
This was also the question everyone outside the video wanted answered.
Witnessing the darkness of the world and enduring betrayal from their own kind, why did he still fight to protect humanity?
Was it simply because of his kind heart?
~Ultraman Nexus Worldline~
The ordinary citizens of this world now felt overwhelming guilt. To be treated this way… It was nothing short of a betrayal by humanity.
How could they not feel remorse for wanting to protect him despite everything? Their hearts were filled with shame, and Others clenched their fists tightly, nails digging into their palms as if trying to channel their anguish into something tangible, cursing their own kind for being so despicable.
【 “I still have… something I must do!” Himeya Jun summoned Stone Wing and knelt on the ground.
“As for the reason… I don’t know.” Himeya Jun panted heavily, staring at the Evoltruster in his hand: “All I know is… This light granted me this power, so I…”
Komon Kazuki couldn’t bear to watch his battered Himeya Jun suffer any longer: “In your current condition, you’ll die in battle!”
“Let him be.” Nagi Saijo suddenly appeared, having gradually come to understand Himeya Jun!
“Hurry up. The Memory Police will be here soon.”
Himeya Jun looked at Komon Kazuki and Nagi Saijo, a rare smile appearing on his face: “I’m sorry!”
He then transformed into a beam of white light, riding Stone Wing and leaving the area.
Night Rider obtained hidden information through basic code decryption: “When the seventh seal is broken, at midnight, the gates of darkness leading to the end will open.”
This event occurred five years ago— Shinjuku!
Meanwhile, another group uncovered the secrets of Revelation, arriving at the location where a mysterious vortex reappeared, sending out tentacles to drag them in!
“BANG——”
A gunshot rang out as Himeya Jun saved them.
“Mr. Negoro, it’s dangerous here! Please return to the surface immediately!!”
When Jinzo Negoro insisted on uncovering the truth, Himeya Jun fired a shot at his feet, stopping him in his tracks.
“Go back. If you proceed further, you’ll only meet your death. I don’t want to see anyone else get hurt!”
Jinzo Negoro, forced to stop, looked into Himeya Jun’s eyes. He felt something stir within him, evoking complex emotions.
“Himeya… What drives you to fight so relentlessly? What exactly are you fighting against?”
“What am I fighting against?” Himeya Jun lowered his head, recalling the countless battles he’d fought.
As if finding the answer, he spoke.
“It’s…”
“BOOM——”
A bizarre spatial rift reappeared, and grotesque tentacles surged forth, lunging toward Himeya Jun and Jinzo Negoro with deadly intent!
“FATE!!”
Without hesitation, Himeya Jun drew the Evoltruster! Amidst a burst of crimson light, he transformed into Ultraman Nexus! 】
Translator note: I’m torn, does Jun Himeya resist fate or align with it?
