"If you like it, that's good."
Chen Yu nodded, then sat aside, watching Carmila eat.
Having not eaten for a long time, Carmila initially restrained herself, but soon began eating faster, eventually abandoning all pretense of manners and just enjoying the food.
Chen Yu wasn't exactly a master chef, but the dishes from Huaxia's cuisine he prepared were quite delicious, especially since he focused on making comfort food for this occasion.
Seeing Carmila satisfied, Chen Yu felt at ease.
As long as Carmila was stabilized and integrated into this world, he could leave here and return to reality.
While eating, Carmila glanced at Chen Yu and then stopped, her smile gradually fading.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Yu, puzzled by this scene, asked Carmila.
"You're leaving?"
Carmila's question nearly scared Chen Yu to death.
"Uh... How could you tell I was thinking of leaving?"
Indeed, a woman's intuition is formidable; he had merely thought about it, and Carmila had already noticed.
"Daiga used to look at me like that before he turned towards the light," Carmila answered, her mood turning melancholic.
Chen Yu didn't expect that just watching Carmila eat would link him to Daiga, showing how deep Carmila's obsession with Daiga was.
"Maybe before I leave, I could have Da Gu transform into Dark Daiga, taking on the responsibility of maintaining peace on Earth?"
Thinking this, Chen Yu immediately shook his head internally.
Da Gu was not an option, absolutely not, because in the original storyline, he had ended the three Dark Giants without mercy, showing no restraint.
The original Daiga never intended to end them, and here was his successor considering doing away with someone's girlfriend. Wouldn't that weigh on his conscience, causing regret?
More importantly, what if Daiga was still in this world and decided to return to Earth someday? Wouldn't he be afraid of retribution from Daiga?
But then again, Da Gu's lifespan was at most a hundred years; it's uncertain if Daiga would return within that time.
Worst case scenario, Daiga could dig him up for a post-mortem punishment.
"Carmila, you already know, I'm not Daiga," Chen Yu finally said, "Whether I leave or not, what difference does it make?"
Carmila pursed her lips and remained silent.
Indeed, the Chen Yu in front of her wasn't Daiga, but as Dark Daiga, Chen Yu had given Carmila an unprecedented sense of joy.
If it was Daiga, he definitely wouldn't play childish games like rock-paper-scissors with her.
Most importantly, the explanations Chen Yu gave as Daiga resonated with Carmila. She held onto those words, interpreting them as Daiga's way of protecting her by sealing her away.
"At least three years," Chen Yu suddenly stated, "I won't leave this world for three years."
Carmila looked at Chen Yu but still remained silent.
Leaving this world meant something very clear to Carmila. Humans live and die, and typically, leaving this world refers to the "separation of Yin and Yang" after death.
But to Carmila, leaving this world could also mean leaving Earth to go elsewhere, perhaps through a cosmic portal to another dimension.
Regardless of the interpretation, Chen Yu would leave after three years.
And the Daiga that Carmila longed for would never appear again.
With a sense of reluctance in her heart, Carmila wanted to ask Chen Yu to stay but found she had no reason to.
After all, they both knew, Chen Yu wasn't Daiga.
Of course, Carmila could force Chen Yu to stay through threats of violence.
But she didn't want to resort to that. Once, she had lived a life even more comfortable than now, but everything changed after gaining dark powers.
Using dark powers to threaten Chen Yu was something Carmila didn't want to do, as she didn't wish to break away from her current state of comfort, reminiscent of her younger days.
Daram and Hitler woke up at night.
After awakening, they immediately sought out Carmila.
Chen Yu prepared some more dishes with the remaining ingredients for them.
Considering Daram's large appetite, Chen Yu specifically bought extra rice from a nearby restaurant, fearing he wouldn't have enough to eat.
"These foods are indeed delicious," Daram expressed his satisfaction, "Daiga, I didn't expect you to have mastered this skill in thirty million years."
"Cooking in this era is quite simple; I only know a bit," Chen Yu replied.
"Full and energized, I have enough strength now!" Daram banged his fists together and then said, "Daiga, let's fight!"
"Huh?" Chen Yu was momentarily taken aback, "You want to fight right after eating? Aren't you afraid of appendicitis?"
"Appendicitis? What's that?" Hitler asked from the side.
"It's a disease," Chen Yu explained, "If you get it, you need surgery on your stomach."
"Surgery? No cold weapon of this era can penetrate my skin!" Daram boasted proudly.
"Well, you'd better not get appendicitis then."
Daram: "…"
The condition of the two Dark Giants, Hitler and Daram, was also very good. Of course, as long as Carmila was fine, their condition would undoubtedly be stable too.
After all, Hitler and Daram were essentially Carmila's followers and enforcers, always seeing her as the leader.
Whatever direction Carmila pointed, they would not head in the opposite.
As night fell, Chen Yu planned to go back to sleep.
But just as he arrived home, he noticed a white silhouette in his house.
Great, a long-haired white woman appears out of nowhere in the middle of the night, nearly giving Chen Yu a heart attack.
Upon closer inspection, it was You Lian.
"Chen Yu, it's me," You Lian's spectral form transmitted Kujou Hikari's voice, "How are the Dark Giants? Are they stable?"
"They're quite stable. They're already starting to learn how to integrate into modern society," Chen Yu replied, "Also, Captain Kujou Hikari, please don't abuse You Lian's powers. You nearly scared me away."
"Ultramen, afraid of something?" Kujou Hikari's voice carried a hint of amusement.
"Don't flatter me; I'm just a regular person," Chen Yu said, "Besides, what I transformed into wasn't an Ultraman; it was a Dark Giant."
"To me, whether they are Giants of Light or Dark Giants, they're all Ultramen," Kujou Hikari slowly stated, "Otherwise, why would You Lian guide Daiga from a Dark Giant towards the light?"
