Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

A little bloodshed, the most basic way to collect fear.

If an invasion was underway, the Apo people wouldn't mind mixing some body parts into the rain.

"The falling crimson rain is a harbinger of our resurrection."

The trailer for the resurrection of "The King of Another Dimension".

Through the interdimensional space, they will no longer be limited by the energy and vehicle capacity required for warp jumps, and will be able to deploy monster weapons to the planet at any time and in any place.

The fact that the "other-dimensional king," who didn't even have to attack the M16 Nebula, actually mobilized when facing Earth, a remote planet, is in a sense a kind of "honor."

But Estend did not expect Earth to receive such "honor".

His teacher, Fang Te, did not come to find him.

He was found

The person he least wanted to see was Kataslow, the director of the Second Research Institute and a pillar at the forefront of Yapool monster modification technology.

"What? A monster army? Are you guys still stuck in some ancient era?" The director of the Second Research Institute, whose arrogance was proportional to his talent, said in an exaggerated tone, "The most cutting-edge technology right now is the improved version of synthetic super beasts. I have thoroughly studied your grandfather Grudas's technology. I have developed more advanced weapons before the First Research Institute. What is a monster army?"

He disguised himself as an Earthling, now appearing as an elite individual, holding a jet-black umbrella upon which blood rain poured, forming a cascading red beaded curtain.

Kataslo liked the smell of fear that filled the air at that moment.

"So, how about coming to the Second Research Institute?" Kataslo extended an invitation to the young man with whom he had a deep connection: "Abandon your hopeless teacher as soon as possible and come to the Second Research Institute where your grandfather Grudas works."

In Kataslow's mind, only the top three numbered research institutes were worth paying attention to. The rest, like the fourth, fifth, and sixth, were just ragtag names. The seventh institute? It was a ragtag name among ragtag names. If it weren't for their unexpected rise and the development of Fos-001, Kataslow wouldn't even bother to learn about them.

The man's arrogant tone was truly irritating, and Estend naturally and decisively refused.

“Fine,” the invitation was just a casual remark anyway; Kataslow’s real intention was to annoy Fant, who was always nitpicking his modification techniques: “If you don’t want to change research institutes, then having Samuel assist me should be fine, right?”

Estend hesitated.

He wanted to refuse, but he knew he couldn't, so he hesitated for a while without speaking.

Kataslow, however, showed an indifferent attitude before him: "Yeah, what a coward, but it doesn't matter if he's one more. You guys just watch from the sidelines and record my victory."

He assumed that Estend's hesitation stemmed from fear of the Land of Light, so he lowered his opinion of Estend further and even began to worry that Grudas would have no successor.

Estend breathed a sigh of relief and asked the question that had been bothering him: "You shouldn't have arrived this early according to the original plan. Did headquarters move the operation forward?"

Kataslow raised an eyebrow: "All prepared. Do I need to report to you whenever I want to come?"

While preparing to conquer the M16 Nebula, Kataslow's men accidentally blew up the spare missile bay of Belaukorn, affecting the newly modified Belaukorn and causing them to be overwhelmed with repair work, thus losing their chance to join the M16 Nebula conquest force.

That opportunity fell to Fos-001's Seventh Research Institute. Watching the credit slip away, Kataslo was depressed for quite some time.

Later, news arrived that the M16 Nebula Conquest Force had first suffered a botched Fos-001 malfunction and loss of control, and the Fourth Research Institute's monster army had suffered heavy losses. They were then discovered by the Ultra Guard and unable to advance further, forcing them to retreat quickly and re-enter the Dark Nebula. Kataslow remarked at the time, "Ah, only a ragtag research institute could make such a mistake," finally feeling somewhat better.

Now that he has achieved a technological breakthrough and all tests are going smoothly, according to the data that Estend previously transmitted back to Yapool, his product can easily defeat two Mebius—not to mention that he also has Grudas's super beast resurrection technology. He can easily resurrect a few super beasts that died on Earth, and with his cutting-edge product, dealing with a new recruit from the Land of Light will be a piece of cake.

The Land of Light has reinforcements? They've traveled thousands of miles to Earth, but can they be as fast as the monsters they send from another dimension?

When they arrive, they will be able to use the power gained from the collected fear energy to turn the reinforcements from the Land of Light into cosmic debris!

He, Kataslo, the mainstay of the Yapool, could not possibly fall behind the ragtag research institute twice!

Upon hearing his reply, Estend finally realized that this proud Yapool elite had probably come to Earth against the plan. Feeling more confident, he spoke with even more conviction: "You'd better not disrupt the headquarters' arrangements. We won't get involved in anything outside the plan."

“Hmph, only useless people would focus on trivial rules,” Dark red cracks suddenly appeared in the air, like a shattered mirror. It was a rift leading to a mysterious red space, with rainbow light reflected in the crack. Kataslo turned around and stepped into the rainbow light with ease: “Kid, you are still far inferior to your grandfather.”

"The credit that the ragtag research institutes dare not claim, my Second Research Institute is determined to take."

Chapter Fifty-Three: Bewitching the Mind

The day of gratitude from the citizens ended hastily.

The visitors hurried home amidst the blood rain, and the GUYS team members, who had planned a relaxing day, had to return to the command room.

The Hasegawa team members also returned to their dormitories looking disappointed. It seems that Haruka will not even dare to leave the house now, and Mie Hasegawa looked worried.

Estend scratched his head, trying to figure out how to pass the message to Mebius. The last meeting in Kazama Marina's memory was too rushed, so much so that he didn't even have time to hand over the special communicator. He only hurriedly gave a few important instructions before the conversation had to be interrupted due to the monster's death and the restoration of time.

He decided to use the old method again, sending GUYS the information about the Second Research Institute via email, hoping they would handle it appropriately.

Kataslow was arrogant but not stupid; without absolute confidence, why would he risk disrupting the main base's plans by venturing deep into enemy territory alone?

This means that his latest product is stronger than the previously recorded Belial—at least the data should be higher than the combat data of Mebius that he sent back, and that data was an enhanced version that he made to fool his teacher!

If Mebius can't handle Kataslow and his synthetic super beast... should he send Samuel instead?

No, based on Samuel's underlying logic, he would never attack Yapool, let alone assist Ultraman in attacking Yapool.

In the worst-case scenario, even if Mebius defeats Kataslo in a bloody battle, Samuel has a very high chance of saving Kataslo when he is about to die.

Use background forced commands?

Eistend reached out and grabbed the access badge hanging on his chest.

……

The bloody rain finally stopped.

Hibino Mirai and Aihara Ryu went to investigate.

Using the "tiny" power he could muster from the "otherworldly king," Kataslo knocked out Hibino Mirai and successfully took over Aihara Ryu's body.

"The Earthling next to Mebius, the new recruit of the Ultra Guard, let's play with him for a while."

"No, this is..."

"The memory of Earthlings is quite interesting."

Aihara Ryu, who reported "no abnormalities found," took Hibino Mirai to the hospital. Of course, in Aihara Ryu's report, Hibino Mirai fainted suddenly, perhaps due to some strange illness.

After regaining consciousness, Hibino Mirai naturally couldn't ignore Aihara Ryu's abnormality, but Kataslo was occupying the body of his teammate, so how could Hibino Mirai possibly harm him?

Kataslo was delighted to see him knowing he had a problem but being unable to deal with him. After all, he was an incredibly young upstart; with just a little thought, he could easily outmaneuver him.

Next, let's try to sow discord between Mebius and humanity.

Don't the Ultra Warriors value the so-called "bond"? What would happen if the bond broke?

Unlike the aesthetics of Fantastic, which favors giving hope and then inflicting death, Kataslow's aesthetics focus on observing the prey's struggles in distress—especially the mental distress. He finds immense pleasure in forcing Ultraman to kill the Earthlings they value or to make Ultraman lose the Earthlings' trust in them.

Oh, and of course, there's an even more interesting new discovery.

He also wanted to see Fang execute his students.

GUYS's information department received another mysterious internal email containing secrets about the Yapool that had not been recorded in previous Earth Defense Forces. In particular, it listed data about the Belokorn and specifically noted that this data was for reference only and that the actual figures should be higher.

The others were on high alert.

Aihara Ryu sneered inwardly.

He now has a new idea:

The products developed by Fangte were used to send the students that Fangte valued to the courtroom at headquarters.

Headquarters of the Kanto Disaster Relief Team.

After returning to comfort Haruka, Hasegawa Hayato, who was almost completely overwhelmed, finally arrived at the team.

It was already past midnight, but Hasegawa Hayato found his teammates waiting for him in the lounge.

As soon as he entered, Sugiyama Mao put down her slurping yogurt and came over to ask him, "Captain, is Haruka alright?"

"Ah, she's already asleep, and Mie is taking care of her," Hasegawa Hayato nodded. "Because of the unknown blood rain, the rescue team is currently on high alert. You should all go and rest, get plenty of rest, and be ready to respond at any time."

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the news that Haruka was alright, Estend and the others were relieved. Captain Hasegawa said goodnight and went to their dormitories one after another.

“Estend betrayed the Yapools.”

Samuel was following behind Estend, and just as he was about to step out the door, he suddenly heard Hasegawa Hayato's voice from behind.

He abruptly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and met a pair of scarlet eyes.

"Hasegawa Hayato" continued, "I am Lomia, the assistant director of the Second Research Institute. The director has discovered evidence of Estender's betrayal of the Yapool. Samuel, the director orders you to assist him in quickly breaking through Earth's defenses and then escorting Estender to the courtroom."

"What...did you do to Captain Hasegawa?"

“Pointless concerns,” Lomia said. “When Baksim appears, that’s your time to act. Take Estend to the other dimension first, and the director’s starship will pick you up.”

"Captain, do you have something to say to Yu?" Estend's voice brought the two who were at odds back to reality.

Estend was a little nervous, wondering if Samuel had recently broken some rule, which was why Hasegawa Hayato was staring at him like this.

Hasegawa Hayato smiled and said, "No, you should all go back and rest."

Estend said goodnight again, grabbed Samuel and left, afraid that the captain's next words would be, "You violated such and such discipline, and I order you to copy the regulations ten times."

Behind him, crimson eyes narrowed slightly.

"The interests of the Yapools are inviolable. You should know what to do with the 'Yapools' light particle biological weapon'."

Estend had his back to them.

Samuel stared at the hand that was gripping his arm.

Estend was too friendly to Earthlings, which was different from the behavior of most Yapools, a fact that Samuel was well aware of.

But he chose not to think about it in detail because he didn't want to.

Now that the people at the Second Institute have determined Estend's betrayal, and considering Estend's previous unusual behavior, Samuel should follow Kataslow's instructions and hand everything over to the Tribunal. This is also the underlying logic that is urging him to do so.
