Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

After Cui Ming grasped the Evolution Trustee and his figure instantly disappeared from the war room and headed to the seabed in the Japanese seas, several agents hidden in various corners of the conference room quietly emerged from their hiding places. They exchanged glances, their faces showing a tacit understanding of exhaustion.

One of the agents frowned, looking in the direction where Cui Ming had disappeared, his tone tinged with helplessness and conflict: "Do we still have to write this report according to procedure? Everyone clearly knows what's going on."

Another agent shrugged, his tone indifferent, already used to it: "The higher-ups themselves know Commander Cui Ming's personality and his little tricks. Whether it's written down or not, or how it's written, it's all the same."

"That's true." The agent who spoke first nodded, the struggle on his face dissipating, leaving only helplessness.

After exchanging glances, they said nothing more, and all sighed in unison. In those sighs lay their weariness with the job and their helpless compromise with Cui Ming.

Why.
Some people muttered to themselves: What is this acting commander thinking? He's ridiculously strong and doesn't need any disguises or props, so why does he enjoy playing this role-playing game so much? Is it really interesting to pretend to be an ordinary person who needs a transformation device to fight?

"Forget it," the agents shook their heads, secretly comforting themselves. "Anyway, there's nothing we low-level agents can do about this. We can't control Cui Ming's thoughts, and we can't change anything."

Who knows how things will turn out in the end? It's good as it is now. Cui Ming can resolve the threat, and they can complete their missions peacefully without interfering with each other or causing trouble for themselves.

Sigh. Another collective sigh rang out. The agents composed themselves, returned to their hiding places, and reported the situation according to procedure. However, that report was nothing more than a formality.

Meanwhile, deep beneath the sea in the waters off Japan, Gatanothor's clone had long lost the arrogance and excitement it had shown when it first awoke. It was practically going crazy with anxiety, its massive body thrashing wildly on the seabed, stirring up turbulent currents, its voice filled with despair and pleading.

"Holy crap! Get out of my way, you thing!!!" Dark Zagi was still trying to persuade it to cooperate, but Gatanothor just wanted it to disappear as soon as possible.

"Big brother!!! I don't know what to do now! Damn it!!!" Gatanothor roared madly at Dark Zagi, its fear reaching its peak. It didn't want to fight Trevor at all, but now it didn't even dare to think about running away.

Gatanothor's senses were extremely sharp. It could clearly feel that the person it least wanted to meet and feared most—Tremora—was rapidly approaching. That familiar, suffocating killing intent, like an icy tide, was gradually enveloping it, making it difficult to even breathe.

Dark Zagi, completely unaware of the situation, was oblivious to the rapidly approaching deadly intent. It continued to chatter incessantly, trying to persuade Gatanothor to cooperate with it, its tone full of resentment and calculation, completely oblivious to the fact that Gatanothor was already on the verge of collapse.

"What are you afraid of? No matter how strong Cui Ming is, he's just one person. If we join forces, we might have a chance of winning. As long as we can get rid of him, this world will be ours. Then we can destroy it however we want," Dark Zagi continued to persuade him, completely unaware of anything amiss.

However, before it could finish speaking, it was interrupted by Gatanothor's frantic roar.

"Holy crap! Stop messing around! He's coming! You bastard!!!" Gatanothor's voice was filled with extreme fear and collapse. Its massive body trembled, its eyes fixed on Dark Zagi's back, even its dark energy was in disarray, almost out of control, and it didn't even have the courage to run away. Dark Zagi was startled by Gatanothor's reaction. The calculation on its face vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of confusion. It subconsciously asked, "Him? Who are you talking about?" It really didn't understand why Gatanothor was so terrified. Was there something more terrifying than Cui Ming?

"Nonsense! You said it yourself! Cui Ming!!!!" Gatanothor practically roared out the name, each word filled with deep-seated fear, his eyes filled with increasing despair, as if he were about to be swallowed by terror at any moment.

“No way?” Dark Zagi was stunned for a moment, its tone filled with disbelief. Although it was wary of Cui Ming, it was not enough to make Gatanothor lose its composure like this. In its opinion, even if Cui Ming came, the two of them could barely hold on together.

As Dark Zagi was speaking, he noticed Gatanothor staring at him with a look of utter despair, his eyes filled with undisguised fear, his body beginning to retreat uncontrollably, as if a nightmare was standing behind him that could crush him completely.

“Look behind you.” Gatanothor’s voice was hoarse and trembling, filled with despair, and he didn’t even have the courage to look up again.

A chill ran through Dark Zagi's heart, and an ominous premonition instantly swept over its entire body. It stiffly turned its neck and slowly turned its head. When it saw the scene behind it, its entire being (spiritual form) froze instantly. All the words stuck in its throat, and the doubt in its eyes was replaced by extreme shock and fear—what it saw was a battle-damaged Nexus charging up its power!

Nexus's body was covered in wounds, surrounded by dense and sharp energy fluctuations, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and his hands were gathering powerful light. The suffocating pressure instantly enveloped the entire deep sea. Clearly, Cui Ming had completed his transformation and was ready to fight. He was just waiting to finish charging up before launching a fatal attack.

Dark Zagi saw this scene
“I’m not.”

Before he could finish speaking, the beams of light that Nexus had gathered in his hands suddenly erupted, carrying a world-destroying force, as he roared: "Layered Beam Storm!!!!"

The charge was complete! The beam of light, imbued with extreme energy and radiating blinding brilliance, instantly pierced through the seawater's barrier, tearing through the air with a sharp, piercing sound, and hurtled towards Dark Zagi and Gatanothor!
"emission!!!!"

Nexus's voice echoed through the deep sea, and the layers of light surged like an unstoppable torrent.

Dark Zagi reacted extremely quickly. At the moment the light burst forth, he almost instinctively and decisively rushed to the side to dodge, his movements so fast that they left afterimages. He did not hesitate at all and did not care about Gatanothor beside him.

Then, Gatanothor behind it was completely doomed—the unstoppable, layered beam of light struck Gatanothor, who had no time to dodge, without any obstruction, instantly shattering its clone. The energy fluctuations swept around, stirring up the silt on the seabed, making it murky.

"Dark Zagi! I'll fuck you!" Gatanothor's scream abruptly stopped, its remaining consciousness filled with anger and resentment. "Damn it! That's not how you betray your teammates!" It never expected that Dark Zagi would push it into the light without hesitation, without even a warning, just to save itself. (End of Chapter)
