Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1213 The Last Hassan Appears
Many people present found it unbelievable. Their eyes were filled with confusion and puzzlement, as if everything happening before their eyes was so unreal.

They would rather believe that this was an elaborate prank, or a disguise of some supernatural force in the form of monsters and demons, than to admit such an unimaginable and subversive fact - a real, huge silver Ultraman is standing on the ruins, fighting fiercely with those monsters that originally only existed in legends.

"Do you think that someone may have obtained a treasure, which is why Ultraman Nexus appeared?"

The voice of a researcher suddenly broke the silence. There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone, but more of curiosity and speculation.

These sudden words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, leaving everyone stunned.

Yes, a treasure!
How could they have forgotten this possibility?
Since the outbreak of this sudden war, humans have been searching for legendary treasures, hoping to use their power to resist the monsters pouring out of the dimensional cracks.

However, until now, they have not found any treasure, which makes them gradually begin to doubt the authenticity of the treasure, and some people even begin to think that the God of the World is just deceiving them.

But now, the researcher's guess is like a beam of light, illuminating the fog in their hearts. Perhaps, someone really found the treasure, and this treasure has the unimaginable ability to turn humans into Ultraman!

"So, what kind of Noble Phantasm is this? It can actually do such a thing, turning a person into Ultraman!"

Someone couldn't help but ask this question.

Their eyes were all focused on the giant silver Ultraman on the screen, and information about it had been quickly collected and sorted out.

Although Tokyo and Kyoto had been destroyed one after another and other cities on the island were in chaos, the video footage of this Ultraman was fortunately preserved.

Even though the island nation was still using relatively backward hard disk storage devices, at this critical moment, these data became the key clues for their research on Ultraman.

They watched the special effects drama of Ultraman Nexus at triple speed, trying to find clues about Ultraman.

Although these special effects dramas were previously regarded as entertainment works by them, they have now become valuable materials for them to study this mysterious phenomenon.

As they watched, they discussed details and possible interpretations of the plot.

"Could it be a treasure that realizes imagination?"

Someone proposed such a speculation. But the idea was quickly denied by others.

"How can there be such an outrageous treasure? Wouldn't that mean I'm invincible? I can create anything I want just by imagining it?"

"You can't say that."

Another person retorted, "How can the treasure thrown by the God of the World be so simple? But then again, the invincible treasures should all be in his hands, right? These we found may just be his 'toys'."

"What a pity, we can't find anyone from Tsuburaya Productions."

Someone else sighed and said, "Otherwise, we will know what this Ultraman Nexus is like. Maybe their company has detailed information about this Ultraman."

However, while they were arguing about this mysterious phenomenon, Sakurajima Mai, who was far away on the battlefield, had no idea what kind of discussion and sensation her appearance had caused among the human high-level officials.

She had just killed that powerful monster with one punch.

She glanced at the power armored team that were looking at her with stunned expressions, and the guy who was yelling at her - he kept shouting the name "Ultraman Nexus".

Mai Sakurajima remembered the name, although she didn't know why she became this Ultraman, nor did she understand why she had such powerful strength.

She took a deep look at the people who were still in shock, and then her huge body began to turn into light particles and dissipated into the air. "Disappeared?"

Someone muttered to himself.

They looked at the place where Sakurajima Mai disappeared, their eyes filled with disbelief and awe.

"No, according to the plot, he left."

Another person explained, "Ultraman is made up of light particles. When they complete their mission or run out of energy, they turn into light particles and return to their world."

“But it has quality.”

Some people have raised the question, "Is it mass-energy conversion? How is this done?"

This question made everyone fall into deep thought.

Mai Sakurajima looked at the extra Evolution Trustee in her hand. It was shaped like a short blade and was usually kept in a sheath. When it was pulled out of the sheath and held high, it would release a large amount of light energy. The fit person would transform into Ultraman Nexus in the surround of light.

And an "Energy Blaster", which is a shock wave gun with two modes of use: when the gun body is stretched straight, it is an attack mode, which can emit a "vacuum shock wave" with enough power to blow up small targets; when the gun handle is folded down into a pistol state, it is a summoning mode, which can send out a flare to summon the airship "Stone Wing".

Mai Sakurajima instinctively knew the functions of these two special things.

"The energy blaster should be able to protect itself, right?"

Mai Sakurajima looked at the weapon in her hand and felt that the design was a bit inhumane. After all, when attacking, it was straight, instead of the handle bending down to form a gun-like shape in attack mode.

Sakurajima Mai, who suddenly gained power, did not feel at all proud, mainly because she did not know how strong she was now.

Moreover, even if she could transform into Ultraman Nexus, Mai Sakurajima found that she still would not be noticed by others.

"How is this going?"

Mai Sakurajima complained, and soon, while she was looking for a safe place and to see if she could find any information about the Ultraman she had transformed into, she met a girl who looked very special.

She seemed to be walking aimlessly, and strangely, the monsters ignored her presence.

Sakurajima Mai's pupils shrank. Could this be the same kind as her?

"Um, hello."

Kato Megumi was startled and suddenly heard someone greeting her. She turned around and found it was a stranger.

"Hello, no, can you see me?"

Kato Megumi responded first, then reacted and said with surprise.

You know, she hasn't been paid attention to for a long time.
