Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

The Yapool had been monitoring Earth all along. From the moment Dorobon entered the solar system to its pursuit by Jack and bombardment by the orbital cannon, every scene was clearly displayed on the Yapool warship's monitoring screens. They were fully aware of Earth's defense system, the movements of the EDF, and even the activity trajectories of the Ultra Warriors. Yet, despite possessing so much intelligence, they never dared to take direct action—not because they lacked the ability, but because they were genuinely afraid.

That deep-seated fear stemmed from a crushing defeat many years ago. At that time, the Yapools believed that Earth's defenses were weak, so they launched a massive invasion with their carefully trained super-beast army, intending to take over Earth in one fell swoop, but they did not expect to run into the Cui family.

Cui Ming led the elite troops of EDF to block them head-on, and his family members were all exceptionally skilled. Some were good at operating advanced weapons, some could accurately break through the energy defenses of the Yapool, and some could even fight the Super Beasts in hand-to-hand combat.

The Yapool people still remember how their warship was trapped in the other dimension by the Cui family, with no chance to retreat. One super beast after another was destroyed, the warship's shields were riddled with holes, and the command center was filled with alarms and screams.

The despair of being cornered and killed, utterly powerless, became a nightmare for all the surviving Yapool people. From then on, they never dared to underestimate Earth again, much less provoke the Cui family.

“It’s not that we don’t want to move, it’s that we really can’t.” The Yapool commander looked at the Earth on the monitoring screen, his tone full of helplessness. “The fighting power of the Cui family is too terrifying. Our current strength is no match for them at all. If we act rashly, we will only repeat the same mistakes.”

The Yapool warrior beside him nodded in agreement: "Yes, the experience of being ambushed and killed at the door last time was too terrifying. I still can't bear to think about it. Moreover, Earth's defenses are stronger than before, and we also have the Ultra Warriors to help us. If we make a move now, it's no different from suicide."

That's why, even when they saw Dorobon in trouble on Earth, the Yapools merely watched coldly, daring not to offer any help. They feared that their actions would attract the attention of Cui Ming, that the nightmarish man would once again bring his family to their doorstep and utterly destroy their warships.

"Let's wait a bit longer." The commander took a deep breath, looking at the screen with a complicated expression. "We'll wait until our plan is fully prepared, until we find a way to deal with the Cui family, before we take action against Earth. Until then, we absolutely cannot reveal our whereabouts."

After speaking, he adjusted the surveillance angle, focusing the image on the direction of the EDF base, carefully observing everyone entering and leaving the base, especially Cui Ming's movements. Until the fear dissipated, all the Yapool could do was continue to lurk in the shadows, silently waiting for the best opportunity, and the peace of Earth was temporarily maintained.

Dorobon stumbled and crashed into an abandoned factory area, kicking up a cloud of dust. Using its spiked club as support, it struggled to its feet, looking at the familiar yet strange Earth around it. It first burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha! I've finally arrived on Earth! Hahahaha!" But as it laughed, tears welled up in its eyes. "Waaaaah! That madman Jack chased me to death!"

The thought of Jack's ferocious nature sent a chill down Dorobon's spine. He gripped his spiked club tightly, his eyes hardening: No! This can't be allowed to end like this! Doesn't Jack care about Earthlings? I must take a hostage; that way, Jack won't dare to act rashly!
It looked around and quickly locked onto a target—a man wearing a red scarf was walking slowly in the distance, seemingly completely unsuspecting. Dorobon's eyes lit up: That's it! The one!
It charged forward menacingly, wielding a spiked club. But to its surprise, the man, seeing its enormous size, showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he stopped and watched it with interest. Dorobon was astonished: "Damn it! Don't think you're so tough just because you're wearing a red scarf!" It raised its club and roared at the man, "Human! Aren't you afraid of me?" The energy projectile launcher at the tip of the club flashed yellow, clearly a threat.

The man simply shrugged, his face expressionless. Dorobon then noticed several small weapons hanging from the man's waist. They seemed inconspicuous, but upon closer inspection, the materials used appeared to be made from the heads of aliens, with faint traces of cosmic energy remaining on them—this seemed to indicate that this human was definitely not an ordinary person!

Dorobon's heart skipped a beat. Just as it was about to back away, it heard familiar footsteps behind it. Turning around, it saw Ultraman Jack had landed not far away and was angrily walking towards it.

In desperation, Dorobon fearfully pointed his spiked club at the man and shouted at Jack, "Jack! Don't come any closer!!! I have a hostage!" He felt that he had finally gained the upper hand this time, and as long as the hostage was there, Jack would definitely not dare to make any rash moves.

But the next second, it saw an expression of disbelief on Jack's face, and he uttered a questioning sound, as if he were looking at an idiot.

Jack was shocked: Holy crap! How dare you?! He simply couldn't believe his eyes—Dorobone's spiked club was pointed at none other than Cui Ming, who was patrolling the area! Putting aside how terrifying Cui Ming's combat power was, the drones Cui Ming had prepared alone could turn Dorobone into a sieve in an instant, and this guy actually dared to take Cui Ming hostage, he was simply asking for a quick death!

Despite being dragged along by Dorobon, Cui Ming remained expressionless, even raising an eyebrow at Jack as if to say, "Look, another one who doesn't know his place."

Dorobone hadn't realized it had arrested the wrong person, nor was it aware that the shadow of death was already creeping over it. It still held its spiked club firmly against Cui Ming's back, shouting menacingly at Jack, "Jack! Back off! Or I'll get rough with him!" To appear fierce, it even deliberately shook the club, the destructive energy blaster at the tip flashing a dangerous yellow light, but its trembling arm had already betrayed its inner panic.

Completely unaware that Cui Ming's fingers, hanging by his side, gently pressed on an inconspicuous black button on his wrist—it was EDF's latest drone summoner, with a coverage area large enough to cover the entire abandoned factory area.

That's right, the precious drones that Cui Ming prepared. (End of Chapter)
