Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

Kaworu knew that Raikou was doomed this time. He stared at the octahedral light and shadow radiating terrifying energy in the distance, his eyes showing no surprise, only deep helplessness. He had already given a clear answer in his heart.

why?
Because he knew Cui Ming's strength better than anyone else. The Thunder Angel seemed powerful, but it was no match for Cui Ming. If it descended rashly, it would only be a pointless death, without even a chance to resist.

"Why did they have to come?" Kaworu sighed softly, his tone full of regret and helplessness. He had warned his kin in advance, but he still couldn't stop the Raigushi from acting rashly.

The Thunder Angel is a deformable octagonal crystal structure that exudes a cold luster. Sharp photon drills can extend flexibly from the bottom of its body, possessing both strong piercing and destructive power. It also has the dual offensive and defensive capabilities of an ATFIELD defensive field and an accelerating particle cannon, making it a formidable force in both offense and defense.

The Thunder Angel was like a mobile flying fortress. As soon as it landed, it launched an attack. A blazing, accelerated particle cannon roared out and instantly pierced through the fortress that humanity had painstakingly built. The sturdy defenses were no match for it, demonstrating in the most direct way the weakness and insignificance of humanity's own power.

This octahedral Fifth Apostle, RAMIEL, possesses the ability to automatically eliminate enemies within a certain distance. It also exhibits constantly changing spatial displacement and an unstable shape, allowing it to freely transform into various forms and flexibly switch between defensive and offensive modes, leaving no opportunity for enemies to exploit. When it attacks, it exposes its fixed core, which is its only weakness. A photon drill extends from the bottom of its main body, but generally, if it dares to reveal it, it's doomed—after all, any enemy that forces it to use its drill already possesses the power to destroy its core.

Looking at the Thunder Angel hovering in the air, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression, Misato, as the battle commander, showed no panic on her face. Instead, she was calm and composed. She slowly turned her head to look at Asuka and the others beside her, speaking as casually as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

"Who's free right now? Kill it?"

That's right. In Misato's eyes, an apostle of the level of the Thunder Angel is nothing to worry about and not worth spending too much effort on.

After all, she herself can transform into Ultraman, and her own strength is formidable, making her more than capable of dealing with the Thunder Angel.

Of course, she wasn't underestimating her opponent. The reason she didn't take action herself was because she was currently busy and couldn't spare the time.

She was currently looking down, focused on helping Cui Ming organize various information about alien beasts, marking their weaknesses, habits, and countermeasures, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

In Miri's view, this was the most important matter at hand—the alien beasts were highly elusive, their numbers were unknown, and they posed a great threat, far more worthy of attention than the easily observable Thunder Angel in front of them. Cui's operation to encircle and exterminate the alien beasts was the top priority.

As soon as Misato finished speaking about "dealing with the Raikou," Asuka, who was standing in the group, immediately took a big step forward, her eyes firm, and volunteered for the mission. In addition to her unwavering determination, her tone also revealed a hint of dependence on Zeppelin beside her: "I'll go, Mom! Is the Balkan cannon from Vulga okay?" As she spoke, she subconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, clearly eager to use this incredibly powerful weapon.

As soon as Asuka finished speaking, Zeppelin frowned, raised his hand, and lightly tapped her forehead. The force wasn't strong, but it carried a clear sense of helplessness and seriousness as he solemnly warned, "Do you want to destroy this whole place? That cannon could blow up the entire city if not used properly." Looking at Asuka's slightly impulsive demeanor, her eyes were filled with worry, fearing that this hot-tempered child might recklessly cause a disaster. This was no joke; Zeppelin's warning was not an exaggeration, but a fair assessment based on the terrifying power of the Balkan cannon.

Balkan artillery is an extremely powerful heavy weapon, designed specifically to destroy fortified enemy bases. Its destructive power far surpasses that of ordinary weapons, making it completely unsuitable for use in densely populated cities with numerous buildings. A single misoperation or mismanagement could reduce an entire city to rubble with a single shot, with unimaginable consequences and countless innocent lives lost.

Asuka instinctively shrank back when she was hit, a faint touch still lingering on her forehead. The resolute expression on her face softened slightly, and a hint of grievance and confusion welled up in her eyes as she looked up at Zeppelin and asked softly, "Then what should we use?" She truly felt that only the power of the Balkan Cannon could quickly and thoroughly eliminate the Thunder Angel.

Seeing her aggrieved expression, Zeppelin's tone softened considerably. After a moment's thought, she glanced at the battlefield situation before her and slowly offered a suitable suggestion: "Hmm, just use the Frigan cannon."

Unlike the ferocious power of the Balkan Cannon, the Frigan Cannon has moderate power and extremely high accuracy. It can accurately hit the core weakness of the Thunder Angel and effectively destroy it, without causing too much damage to the surrounding city buildings and innocent civilians. It is just right for the current situation where precise strikes are needed and innocent people should be avoided.

Although Asuka was somewhat unwilling to accept that she hadn't been able to use the Balkan Cannon she had been longing for and demonstrate the power of this heavy weapon, she understood that Zeppelin's reminder was for the sake of the bigger picture and to avoid causing greater losses. She could only nod reluctantly, lower her head, and whisper, "Okay." Her tone was full of unconcealed disappointment.

Asuka had been harboring a secret desire. She was really recklessly using the Balkan Cannon, even though she knew that this weapon was terrifyingly powerful and extremely easy to lose control of, she was still particularly fond of it. There was no way around it, that thing was just so incredibly fun to use. Its earth-shattering power gave her an unprecedented sense of exhilaration. Even though Zeppelin stopped her, she still couldn't forget about it.

While Asuka was secretly regretting not being able to use the Balkan Cannon, the Raikou had already sensed the threat and stopped passively hovering, launching an attack.

The octahedral crystal structure of the Thunder Angel rotated slightly, its surface emitting a blinding white light, and a terrifying energy condensed at its core. The next second, a blazing and dazzling accelerated particle cannon, carrying a world-destroying momentum, roared and fired towards Asuka and the others!

The particle cannon was incredibly fast, whistling through the air, and arrived in front of everyone in an instant. The temperature in the air rose instantly, and everyone instinctively tensed up. Even Misato looked up, ready to react at any moment.

The next moment, something unexpected happened—the accelerated particle cannon, which was powerful enough to pierce through the fortress, was actually blocked.

It wasn't blocked by the ATFIELD force field, nor by weapons, but by a massive, completely transparent piece of glass. This glass, which had appeared before them at some unknown time, was enormous, its surface gleaming faintly. It forcefully blocked the terrifying particle cannon, which struck the glass with a piercing hum, yet failed to penetrate even an inch. (End of Chapter)
