Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

Chapter 124 The Darkest Moment

On a calm and peaceful night, everyone could have slept soundly, but a sudden, earth-shattering event in the distance shattered the tranquility.

Those were signs of the heroes' battle, and everyone was certain of it. The streets were brightly lit, and everyone eagerly awaited the triumphant return of the heroes and the Wolf Knights...

The bright moon rose over the mountain, and the night was already past midnight. After that celestial anomaly, nothing else happened, and the people in the neighborhood were completely unaware of the actions of the hero and the wolf knights.

"What exactly happened? What happened to the heroes? Can anyone tell me?"

"Why is there absolutely no sound? This is so strange!"

"Hey, is there any news yet? We've been waiting here for almost half the night!"

Faced with the unknown situation, the people were filled with doubt, anxiety and frustration, but they could not get any useful information. The wolf riders present became the target of everyone's complaints, and all the resentment was directed at them.

"Everyone, please calm down. We will keep you informed as soon as we have any updates!"

"Still calm?! We've been freezing here for most of the night, if we stay calm any longer we'll turn into popsicles!"

The agitated crowd surrounded the wolf rider, aggressively demanding an explanation.

"Please calm down, everyone. The hero and the captain are working hard to resolve this predicament, so please be understanding of our work."

"Just tell us what news you have! You've been talking nonsense all this time! Whether it's good or bad, you have to give us an explanation."

The fully armed wolf riders retreated step by step, while the enraged crowd pressed closer, eager to vent their pent-up resentment towards the wolf riders, both now and in the past.

The wolf knights stood by at a distance, having received orders not to interfere in human affairs. This was an absolute command from their captain, especially after the incident involving the woman in white a few days prior, to prevent the conflict between the wolf knights and the people from escalating further.

"Step back! If you continue to rush forward, we will take strong measures against the lawbreakers for obstructing official business. Don't surround us and disrupt the order!"

The wolf riders picked up their clubs and shields, aiming them at the large crowd gathering in front of them. Now the wolf riders were cornered against the wall, truly trapped with nowhere to retreat.

The display of force was followed by an even greater riot by the people. Those who had long been fed up with the Wolf Knights' bullying and abuse of power were extremely disgusted. They picked up sticks and planks from the ground and confronted the Wolf Knights with their hands.

The people have had enough of being oppressed by wolves. Now that humans have the help of heroes, they no longer want to unilaterally submit to the wolf knights in exchange for protection. Humans now have their own guardians.

With the Mage Guild leader now almost certain to be the next hero, humanity is even more confident in resisting the Wolf Knights' dictatorial rule, and they no longer have to live under the shadow of darkness.

The wooden sticks and clubs began to make contact, the questions and shouts gradually grew louder, the fires on the street burned brighter and brighter, and the shadows of the people entangled together grew longer and longer.

"It's gone... the monster is gone... the monster ran away..."

A strange but familiar sound came from the other side of the street, interrupting everyone's thoughts and making them look in that direction. Everyone was eager to know information about the "monster".

The woman in white walked from the suburbs to the street, her head hanging low and her steps listless. She kept repeating similar words, her clear speech and sighing tone attracting everyone's attention.

"What happened? What did you see?"

"What happened to the 'monster'? Was it that otherworldly monster? Was it destroyed?"

"Hero, is there any news of the hero?"

Everyone threw their wooden planks to the side of the road and bent over to move closer to the woman in white. The wolf riders also put away their equipment and approached, eager to know the latest news from the hero.

"An otherworldly monster appeared. She ate the monsters that accompanied the hero, an Ice Fang Crocodile, and a Purple Crystal Knight Wolf... In the end, the otherworldly monster also escaped without a trace."

The words were followed by a deathly silence. The unexpected ending exploded in everyone's minds, chilling their bodies and terrifying their spirits.

"How could that be? Those were two giants of light plus an entire squad of wolf knights... Are otherworldly monsters really that terrifying?"

"The leader wolf is gone... I saw it during the day and it was fine, and it's gone in just one night..."

"Hey, you! Where did you get this information from! Tell me the truth, or I'll make sure you don't get away with it!"

The wolf rider pushed through the crowd and stood in front of the woman in white. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the strange woman before him. His fists clenched but trembled incessantly. The wolf rider now preferred to believe that he had been deceived, that he had been completely fooled.

"At the foot of the mountain on the outskirts, the heroes returned and set up camp, but no one was optimistic, and they couldn't find the Amethyst Knight Wolf anywhere..."

The mud on her legs and feet, the torn marks on her clothes, and the resolute look in the white-clad woman's eyes all testified to the fact that this was indeed the case.

The wolf riders retreated; they hadn't expected this outcome, and they were unwilling to accept it.

The crowd surged forward, seemingly greedy for more information, believing that the more they knew, the clearer they would understand their situation.

"I set out to find the hero's trail and locate their camp, to witness firsthand the conflict between the Wolf Knights and Luo Yi. The Wolf Knights drove Luo Yi away, despite Zhao Yu and Yao Hui's best efforts to dissuade them..."

The truth is like an omniscient book, which makes those who yearn for it unable to put it down once they come into contact with it, while making those who pretend to be extremely resistant, fearing that their own flaws will be pointed out and exposed.

"What kind of trash is this! What kind of skill is it to drive away your own teammates? A bunch of useless cowards who only know how to take their anger out on those around them!"

It's both a protest and a veiled attack, a complete outpouring of resentment and anger from the human heart.

"Why?! Didn't Luo Yi make any contributions? Didn't Luo Yi make any sacrifices? Why is the Wolf Knights bullying an ordinary person? They're shameless!"

"What a waste that the Hero and Zhaoyu trusted each other so much. They got dragged into the monster fight and are now being annoyed by those ingrates. The Hero and Zhaoyu have really suffered."

The suppressed emotions and riotous outbursts of reason caused everyone to focus excessively on the Wolf Knights driving away Luo Yi, and to be overly fixated on the superficial example of the Wolf Knights driving away humans.

Everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of the truth being revealed. No one raised any questions, no one thought deeply, and the public's thinking was swept along by the tide.

A loud explosion set off a shockwave. The wolf knight channeled his grief and anger into action, dispersing the crowd. The outcome was already decided, but the knights who had sacrificed themselves for peace could not tolerate such unwarranted smearing.

"The threat of the otherworldly monsters remains, the curfew continues! Everyone return to their residences and are not allowed to leave before the morning roar! This is to be carried out immediately."

The rules jointly established by the Wolf Knights and the Mage Guild provided a way out for both sides, and the crowd dispersed. However, resentment continued to build. The Wolf Knights maintained order while simultaneously trying to contact the first Wolf Knight team as soon as possible.

"Arrest that woman in white! That's an order! She must never be allowed to appear in public again. If I see her even once more, you'll never be exonerated!"

The leader of the Street Wolf Knights summoned the wolf knights who had clashed with the woman in white and issued a strong order that the ringleader who had disrupted the order's order must be punished and eliminated, as always.

In this darkest hour before dawn, the world can be turned upside down in the blink of an eye.
