[ Just as the Space Beast wave vibration experiment began, a white-clad prophet's hologram appeared before Himeya Jun. With great focus, he communicated his doubts.
"Why don't you resist...? Could it be that you lack even this ability?"
"Perhaps I want to know too!" Himeya Jun's voice was filled with confusion as he said, "What does obtaining this power truly mean?"
"Then why continue fighting?" The prophet asked in a complex tone, unable to understand why Himeya Jun didn't resist.
"If this continues... you might die!"
Himeya Jun wasn't afraid of death and replied, "I've already prepared myself mentally. But... until I find the answer I'm searching for, I can't die!"
"Then what exactly are you searching for?"
Upon hearing this, Himeya Jun fell silent because he didn't know either—he was lost in his own confusion.
At this moment, the Space Beast wave vibration experiment began. A blinding light radiated onto Himeya Jun's body, bringing unbearable pain…
As the frequency surged with a "lonely ring," the light gradually shifted from blue to red, increasing its destructive power. ]

~Projection of All Worlds~
The excruciating pain was so vivid that even through the screen, viewers could feel it clearly!
In some everyday worlds, kind-hearted girls couldn't bear to watch and close their eyes.
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"Another gathering of Zasshu,"
Gilgamesh sighed, the wine glass shattering in his grip, more from casual annoyance than outright rage.
"They infest this world like vermin, Such people don't deserve to be my subjects… No, they don't even deserve to be called human!"
~Kamen Rider Build World~
Banjō Ryūga was equally enraged, recalling the time he was infused with the Nebula Gas—the feeling still lingered vividly in his mind!
Compared to him, Mr. Himeya Jun endured even greater pain! He could imagine just how dark that world must be.
~Jujutsu Kaisen World Future Timeline~
"Truly a bunch of rotten oranges… It seems no matter the world, so-called higher-ups are equally corrupt."
Gojō Satoru's deep blue eyes stared intently at the figure on the screen.
[ The experiment didn't stop due to the audience's anger; instead, it grew more intense!
"BOOM——"
Finally, under the commander's orders, when the spectral amplification ratio exceeded 5000, Himeya Jun's heart rate surpassed the 300 limit!!
This was completely beyond the range of human capability!!
Ultimately, the constantly fluctuating green curve flattened into a straight line. A piercing alarm echoed throughout the room, and the entire laboratory descended into chaos!
Because... Himeya Jun's heart had stopped beating!!
The hero who fought to protect the people didn't die at the claws of a ferocious beast but fell victim to the blades of his own kind. ]

~Projection of All Worlds~
"Himeya Jun... dead?"
"Just like that...?!"
No matter how much the external audience refused to believe it, the result was clear: Himeya Jun's heartbeat had completely ceased…
~Land of Light, Inter Galactic Defense Force~
Even the Ultras of the Land of Light, known as an ideal society, were now utterly furious.
How could they treat their own kind as human experiments, killing an Ultra Warrior?! This made them indignant on behalf of Himeya Jun!
"Brothers! This is an emergency! Let's go save Nexus!"
Ultraman Ace urgently exclaimed.
The Ultraman of the Land of Light shook their heads. The universe was vast, and without coordinates, no matter how angry or anxious they were, they couldn't reach him.
If only they could get there… Perhaps Hikari's life-stabilizing equipment could revive Himeya Jun!
~Ultraman Tiga Worldline~
"How dare you treat life like this?!"
Even the usually calm Daigo slammed his fist onto the table.
The Victory Team members couldn't help but look at him, though they understood his frustration. At this moment, they too wished they could drag that commander out and beat him senseless.
~Ultraman Nexus Worldline~
Now, even Nagi Saijyo of Night Rider looked grim. After watching the video and realizing Himeya Jun wasn't the enemy, they felt deeply indignant on his behalf!
~Kamen Rider Zero-One World~
"This is the bad nature of human beings...!"
Horobi sneered disdainfully.
"Humans are full of greed, hatred… and arrogance."
"Without Nexus, if another Space Beast appears, they'll only await destruction!"
[ Seeing Himeya Jun's heart stop, the previously confident commander becomes extremely flustered.
Commander Matsunaga clutched the defibrillator, frantically shocking Himeya Jun's chest—but to no avail.
Having lost his heartbeat, Himeya Jun was subjected to the same Space Beast wave vibration under the Prophet's guidance, awakening the light's power once again!
A brilliant light erupted from the glass core of the Evoltruster, and together with Himeya Jun, he escaped from the lab…
Himeya Jun, whose heartbeat had just returned, appeared wrapped in light in the hallway of Night Rider's base, standing directly in Komon Kazuki's path.
"Mr. Himeya…?!" Komon Kazuki stared in shock at the suddenly appearing figure.
"Komon!" Himeya Jun looked at Komon Kazuki and spoke in a gentle tone.
But before he could say more, the Prophet's figure appeared at the end of the hallway.
"Let me give you a piece of advice: for now, you absolutely cannot transform again!"
The Prophet's voice was grave as he gazed at Himeya Jun's glowing figure. "The burden on your body is far greater than imagined. Your body can't endure any longer!"
"If you transform and fight again, you might truly die!"
Komon Kazuki was astonished by their conversation but, lacking context, simply turned his gaze toward Himeya Jun.
"I don't intend to lose my life…" Himeya Jun's voice remained gentle, showing no fear despite the Prophet's warning.
"But sometimes, I'm not in control of my actions."
Himeya Jun's expression seemed tinged with self-mockery, but his jet-black eyes revealed an unyielding resolve to face death!
The Prophet sighed deeply and then vanished without another word, leaving behind one final statement: "If that's the case, then there's nothing more I can say."
Himeya Jun also disappeared on the spot, leaving Komon Kazuki stunned in place, unsure of what had just happened.
Teleported away, Himeya Jun collapsed on the street but was fortunately found and taken in by a familiar acquaintance, Taro Takahashi.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, pitch-black storm clouds gathered over the city. Vile, grotesque tentacles emerged from the sky, snatching humans off the ground.
The Evoltruster in Himeya Jun's hand flickered with light, seemingly alerting him to the appearance of a new Space Beast!
As Himeya Jun prepared to head out, Taro Takahashi quietly appeared behind him.
"You… are going to fight again?" Taro's voice carried mixed emotions as he gazed at Himeya Jun's figure. "I still don't fully understand the weight you carry on your shoulders… Perhaps I can't fully grasp your pain."
Then, with an almost pleading look in his eyes, he continued: "But! You need a place to rest, don't you?" ]
.....
~Projection of All Worlds~
The external audience, who had initially rejoiced at his revival, now saw another side of Himeya Jun. They noticed the mutual admiration between these two individuals, hindered only by pride and hesitation.
No one understood shipping better than they did.
[ Himeya Jun naturally understood the implication, but…
"I couldn't protect many people, and others have lost their lives because of me… I don't want to see anyone else hurt, including you."
After speaking to Taro Takahashi, Himeya Jun picked up his black coat and left the house.
Taro Takahashi mustered his courage, immediately running out the door and chasing after Himeya Jun: "Mr. Himeya, please don't go!"
He couldn't bear to see Mr. Himeya, battered and bruised, leave again. When he'd first found him unconscious, his frail and broken state had pained Taro deeply.
Hearing the call, Himeya Jun recalled Sella, who had called out to him in the same way! It was precisely because of this that he wanted to save more people.
Himeya Jun's expression grew complex. Slowly turning his head away, he took a deep breath and murmured, "I'm sorry!"
"I still have something I must accomplish…" Himeya Jun said before running once again toward the Space Beast.]
