only monsters

Chapter 1839 No.456: The illustration is really important
Although the most well-known monster IP is Godzilla, who is best known for the monster battle.

Its purest root is to leave all other monsters behind and display the fear of nuclear explosion alone, a hideous, terrifying, pathetic and pitiful creature.

But sometimes, we don’t just see the first place.

Although there are many competitors who can compete for the second place of famous monster IP, the participation of "Ultraman" is generally undisputed.

After all, it's about popularity.

No other IP can have the vitality of Ultraman to innovate every year. The output of at least several new monster suits every year has already made the establishment of its monster family a quantity and quality that is enough to crush any competitor.

But the subtle thing is... although it has become a consensus that Ultraman fights small monsters, and the binding of the two is even more normal, it is difficult to say that the two are enemies.

After all, what the Ultramen are really fighting against is always the human heart, both the hearts of the people on Earth and the hearts of the people in the universe.

In contrast, monsters, as a disaster, a military force, and a carrier of human hearts, have led to various different directions due to their overly complex origins.

Even when you leave the perspective of Earthlings and look at Ultraman and the daily life of the Land of Light, you will find that they have far more opportunities to fight aliens than monsters.

In a crisis that takes place in the universe, monsters are always positioned as biological weapons. Just defeating the weapons does not mean everything is over, you still have to defeat more weapon wielders.

But it doesn't mean that you can bypass those weapons and deal with the owners who use them.

Fighting is inevitable, but the concept that the essence of fighting is communication also applies.

Get to know each other through fighting.

Even if the direction of that understanding is extremely narrow: how to eliminate it more efficiently, what parts to attack more effectively - this kind of understanding is also effective intelligence that can speed up the resolution of the incident.

Therefore, although Omer Linton does not regard monsters as Ultraman's nemesis, he recognizes that every Ultraman is a monster scholar.

Among them are hunter-types like Ultraman Zero and Geed who say "I only know how to speed clear", recorder-types like Lipia who "have also observed biological weapons and ecological habits", ronin-types like Orb who "have traveled far and wide and seen many monsters", and of course, researcher-types who have not yet appeared and say "I have to study it all".

The last ones often don't like to show up in public, unless they turn evil and put on a set of divine armor and start giving themselves a second-year code name, otherwise they stay at home and wait for materials to be sent from the front line.

Although I would occasionally go to the front line to take a look in person and send out new technology products to collect usage data, those times were rare.

Omar, who was a whole world away from him, rarely had the opportunity to visit him, but that didn't mean he couldn't learn from his knowledge.

Because the office of the Kingdom of Light is in the circular orbit of the airspace of Tianmen City, and Ultraman Felix, who had communicated with him several times in the past, is a cyber librarian. He works for the Space Science and Technology Bureau in his hometown. In the warehouse called the "Kingdom of Light Database", he manages relics related to major events in history, such as the Turaiga gun used by the GUYS Defense Force when Mebius was on Earth.

Today, he has been transferred to the Holy Terra Federation Office, where he continues his work in areas such as inventorying cultural relics and organizing data as before. Although it is always a clerical job that does not require him to go out much, he has amazing comprehension and is very good at summarizing unique insights and truths from other people's stories.

Omar felt very comfortable in his several exchanges with him. On the one hand, it was due to the other party's humble and gentle attitude, and on the other hand, it was due to the other party's perspective that was more sensitive and sharp than his own, as well as his accumulation of knowledge at the "story" level.

'Observation' and 'thinking' are the goals that Omer Linton is pursuing. It is naturally happy and relaxing to communicate with senior figures like mentors. Unfortunately, most of the reasons why Omer has taken the initiative to talk and visit so far are to seek help, which makes him unable to relax.

It's the same this time.

It has been said in the past that the technical department of the Kingdom of Light Office shares information with the Kingdom of Light Headquarters, and the card-drawing machine in the basement of Linton Office is also built on the technological crystallization of that information sharing.

This time he also came to ask for information.

In other words, seek knowledge.

The database of the Kingdom of Light contains countless monster data brought back by Ultraman during his travels. Some are oral, some are text, and some are already organized data.

Given the existence of Ultraman Zero who can travel across the universe, and the friendly exchanges between the Federation and the Land of Light, that is, an ultra-long adventure journey across the cosmic bubble and the world's barriers, the content of that information covers far more than just 'monsters within one universe'.

Even if it is limited to that part, it is still a difficult task for Omar to split and understand it with the computing power of his artificial brain. After all, he has not upgraded his body from carbon to another particle creation like Ultraman. He can only get a current experience card during the period of transforming into a monster.

Fortunately, he still had a genuine artificial brain. It was not a card, but Gilbaris (a huge artificial brain) that had traveled with the Heart of Terra a few months ago, observing, verifying, and advancing together. It did not block the communication rights to Omer Linton.

Whenever necessary, Omar could seek its help.

Of course, not in terms of combat power.

Gilbaris, who had been completely recruited, had lost the priority of combat commands. He was more of a witness of peace, while Lyb, who was adjusting the civilization together with the Heart of Terra, was not a behind-the-scenes strategist. In other words, he was operating more as a top-notch supercomputer in the universe.

This is much better than a processor like the human brain, whose limitations are too obvious.

After inserting the data, he immediately searched it by categories, and then loaded a "plug-in" into the mental signal connected to Omer's puppetry. For a moment, Star Eater Zero felt like he was in a game -

——All the monster organs, cores, and cubs soaked in liquid that came into view had corresponding subtitle boxes appearing, and as long as he paid attention to them, more folded information would be extended to help him understand the identity, structure, chemical properties, etc. of those things.

It can be said that just a few minutes of Star-Eating Zero strolling in this control room made him the world's top monster scholar.

Although there is still a long way to go in terms of applying knowledge, I can already see that he can explain everything clearly and logically.

Even the original owners of these controlled monster-related objects may not understand these hideous and terrifying things better than him.

This is so cool.

There was no need for a simple AI robot to explain, but he still took the other party with him, pretending that he needed to listen, and looked for his own goal in it.

Although he said something like "I will definitely not let the high priest and the other priests down", it was actually just an excuse.

Omar did not intend to create any value for that group of people with the identity of Star Eater Zero, he just wanted to delay for a few days.

He had made up his mind, and contacting the directors of the two worlds' security bureaus was another manifestation of his determination. He no longer conducted intelligence investigations slowly, but began to make great strides in investigating both the Beast Cult and the Dark Area, determined to get the most substantial harvest without alerting the enemy.

The drastic actions against the seven demon kings and whoever is behind them have already begun, and Omer is determined to confront the people behind them on the chessboard.

The Beast Cult is a little slower here - he is making drastic preparations:
The information on the locations of other branches that can be retrieved and inquired with the current authority and status has been packaged.

It's not time to send it yet.

But as long as he could get something that the high priest wanted so that he could take it away easily even if he suddenly opened the breeding center, he could plan to use the idle team of Belstarmon and Yami who were ready to support at any time to break through the Wall of Sighs with firepower, and then use Gilvalis's network to swallow up everything and detonate it in one fell swoop.

It doesn't matter whether it will alarm Lucemon. Fallen Form. After all, before that, the news of Belphemon's (sleeping form) death has already come.

Will he warn the high priest to be careful?

Star-Devouring Zero was not sure, and it was not important whether the extremely arrogant man would do such a thing.

After all, he had seen it.

His breathing stagnated slightly, and his mental stability became slightly unbalanced, so that several nearby debugging tanks were shattered by invisible waves with explosions, triggering a burst of alarms. At that moment, the three objects pumping in the nutrient solution of the distant modulation tank were describing their potential in continuously extending text boxes.

However, no matter how long the text was, Star-Eating Zero's eyes only stayed on the first line.
