Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Mizuta Ichinō led his men away decisively, while the rest rushed straight to the laboratory. Matsunaga Yōichirō carried Gen Subaru and quickly strapped him to the lab table. To be honest, this was the first time they had used this strap on Gen Subaru after so many experiments.

"Aren't we waiting for the paddy fields?"

Seeing Kira Sawa's gesture signaling the operators to begin, Matsunaga Yoichiro frowned slightly and said, "This kind of rough acceptance of 'light' is definitely not a good thing for Subaru's already unstable cellular structure. He knows this, Mizuta Ichiro knows this, Wakura Eisuke knows this, and Kira Sawa naturally knows this as well."

"If anything unexpected happens, I believe Mr. Mizuta will have already arrived with his men by then."

"....start!"

After listening to Kira Sawa's explanation, Matsunaga Yoichiro nodded and waved to the operators.

"Uh-huh!!"

Under the milky white light of the vibration wave, a look of pain appeared on Gen Subaru's face. At the same time, the skin on his face cracked, and hot blood flowed out, dripping onto the experimental table, making a hissing corrosion sound. Meanwhile, wisps of ominous black energy also emerged from the evaporated blood.

"Paddy field, faster!"

Seeing this, Matsunaga Yoichiro calmly gave a message over the communicator, then stepped forward and grabbed Gen Subaru's sweaty hand. While enduring the shockwave, he gripped the boy's hand even tighter, transferring his warmth to him so that he would understand that he was not alone.

At this moment, Eisuke Wakura, who had been silent all along, also stepped forward and grasped Subaru's other hand. His resolute face showed no fear, and even as corrosive blood splattered on his body, his expression remained unchanged.

"Minamoto no Subaru, keep going! Persistence is victory!"

Upon arriving, Mizuta Ichiro glanced at the experimental data on site, closed his eyes helplessly, sighed deeply, pushed open the laboratory door, tidied the boy's bangs soaked with sweat and blood, and said in a low voice:

"Now, only you can save yourself."

"I...try...to..."

As it turns out, the Seventh Shockwave can indeed replenish 'light' for the suitor. Subaru has regained some of his senses. To be honest, he didn't expect things to turn out this way. Thinking about it carefully, it should be because he injured his body when he was about to self-destruct during the last wave, and then he passed the light to Jugglus Juggler, which led to the current situation.

Ah... this is really unexpected....

Gen Subaru gritted his teeth and kept himself conscious. Although he didn't know what to do, since Mr. Mizuta told him to persevere, he would persevere until the very last second!

At that moment, a seven-colored light suddenly shone from Gen Subaru's body. The light was so dazzling that the instrument emitting the shockwave immediately broke down. However, Gen Subaru's body also showed obvious improvement. The unstable cell activity was decreasing, and everything was developing in a positive direction.

"Minamoto no Subaru, what exactly happened?"

Matsunaga Yoichiro, seeing his hand wound healing, asked Minamoto Subaru in astonishment. The boy smiled wryly and said softly:

"Well, it's a long story..."

After saying that, Yuan Mao fell into a deep sleep, completely exhausted. After all that, he really couldn't take it anymore.

"Mizuta, I'm entrusting Minamoto Subaru to you."

Matsunaga Yoichiro gave instructions to Suiten Ichiro, then turned around and made a fist gesture to the guards and experimental operators who had followed him. Immediately, they all took out the memory erasers from the Memory Police, pressed them on themselves, and after recovering from the dizziness of the memory deletion, they carried out Matsunaga Yoichiro's orders and withdrew from the place.

While TLT-J headquarters was methodically lifting the state of emergency, in the vast universe, in different times and spaces, in the distant M78 Nebula, a planet inhabited by countless Ultramen was shining brightly, like a lighthouse in the darkness guiding lost travelers home.

If Gengo were to see one of these Ultramen, he would likely recognize him. He is the original Ultraman from the Ultra Fusion Card, as his prominent pectoral muscles make him easily identifiable. At this moment, the original Ultraman is discussing with his brothers whether the civil officials of the Land of Light need to strengthen their combat training.

Suddenly, Ultraman shook his head, a strange drowsiness making him want to yawn. Noticing this, Zoffy patted him on the shoulder and said to the others:

"Alright, let's leave this topic here for now. Everyone has been busy for a while, so relax and get some rest once you're home."

Since Zoffy had said so, and everyone really wanted to rest, the Ultra Brothers meeting ended there. Back in his room, Ultraman stretched his shoulders, trying to shake off the drowsiness, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. He didn't have anything important to do at the moment, and it was rare for him to doze off. Just like his brother Zoffy said, he should get some rest.

And so, the original Ultraman began his long-awaited hibernation. Meanwhile, Subaru, who was practicing against thin air in the deep blue space, sensed something, turned his head in surprise, and a happy smile appeared on his face. He thought it was the projection returning; now he didn't have to... no, he was...

Upon seeing the red and silver figure, Gen Subaru, who had just taken two steps forward, retreated and cautiously examined it before realizing it was the original Ultraman.

Is it because I accepted that residual power that his projection appeared here?

Gen Subaru stroked his chin, deep in thought. Meanwhile, the First Generation was also somewhat bewildered. He felt as if he were dreaming, but the dream seemed too real. He wanted to greet the boy in front of him and ask what was going on, but he found that his body was completely out of his control and had assumed a fighting stance.

Wait, I mean no harm.

The original Ultraman shouted urgently, but his voice seemed to only echo in his own ears; his body was already emitting a battle cry of "Xia!"

With a roar, it charged towards the boy.

"Interesting, a new opponent."

Gen Subaru smiled and took out the Evolution Trustee:

"Nexus!"

In the radiance, the silver-black giant faced off against the red-silver projection. After a couple of tentative exchanges, Subaru threw a jab to gain the upper hand and attempt a combo to suppress the opponent. However, the projection bent down and used its hard head to deliver a powerful headbutt to Subaru's chest, instantly disrupting his balance.

Then, the projection grabbed the arm of the retreating Gen Subaru and pulled him back. At the same time, it kicked Nexus in the abdomen and then lay on its back on the ground to use the momentum to throw Nexus backward. Then, using the force of the throw, the projection did a simple backflip and straddled Nexus, and then unleashed a barrage of punches on his head.

Although Gen Subaru used his hands to defend himself on either side of his head, the force of the projection's punches was truly heavy. In just a few seconds, he felt as if his arms were about to break. Helpless, he had to activate the bow-shaped energy core in his chest, using it to shoot out light and forcefully force the projection back before regaining his freedom.

Before Yuan Mao could catch his breath, he quickly flipped backward to create distance. He wiped his hand on [Armed Nexus], and the Particle Feather shot out to stop the projection's pursuit. However, he saw the projection clap its hands together, using the physical resistance of its arms to catch the beam of light with its bare hands. Then, it rubbed its hands together. Yuan Mao clearly sensed that the nature and power of the Particle Feather had changed drastically in this moment. He quickly dodged to the side to avoid being knocked away by his own attack.

However, his actions seemed to be exactly as the projection had anticipated. The projection released spiraling beams of psychic energy from its hands, which struck Nexus, who had just finished moving, and forcibly stopped the giant's movement upon impact.

No, wait, wait, stop! This is just a friendly spar, stop it!

Gen Subaru didn't know what was going to happen next, but the original Ultraman, as the true form, knew all too well. In his consciousness space, he shouted anxiously, trying to stop the situation from continuing, but the projection did not stop. It once again used its telekinetic control to throw Gen Subaru far away.

At the same time, Gen Subaru felt a powerful force gathering in his body. He hurriedly tried to counteract it with light energy, but he was too slow. In the violent explosion, Ultraman saw light particles scattering in the bursting flames. The slender boy was helplessly thrown away by the explosion until he turned to ashes.

No...no! Who? Who is it?! So insidious and vicious...hmm?!

Seeing the boy's 'death', extreme anger instantly consumed Ultraman's chest. He began to think quickly about which alien had plotted such a terrible and abhorrent conspiracy, actually using his own hands to eliminate other Ultra Warriors, which was truly outrageous!

But just as the original Ultraman was burning with rage, he saw the boy who was supposed to have died reappear in this 'dream'. Apart from his face looking a little worse, he was otherwise unchanged.

Seeing this, the original Ultraman silently loosened his clenched fist and casually found a place to sit down. How to put it, he began to realize that the situation was not as he thought.

"Wow, so strong! I actually lost so quickly..."

The original Ultraman heard the boy's weak whispers, but immediately, he slapped his cheeks and perked up, gripping the transformation device and fearlessly looking at the projection while muttering to himself:

"But the stronger you become, the more I will learn, and the stronger I will become. Come on! Continue! Nexus!"

Subaru was full of fighting spirit, but this time he was defeated even faster. As he transformed, the projection crossed its hands in front of its chest and then stretched them forward, with its arms at shoulder height. One arm remained still while the other rotated ninety degrees upward from the shoulder to form a right angle. Two beams of psychic energy were released from its fingertips, one freezing the head of the newly transformed giant and the other freezing its feet, instantly locking Nexus's mobility. Then, the projection crossed its left and right hands into a cross, and the destructive beam fired from its right hand killed Subaru again in the blink of an eye.

"This lighting... is interesting... Again! Nexus!"

'boom! ! ’

"Ouch... Ouch... Why is this head so hard? Again! Nexus!"

‘Boom! ! ’

"Telekinesis... So it was telekinesis? Nexus!"

‘Clang! ! ’

"What amazing cutting skills, Nexus!"

'boom! ! '

"...Nexus!"

Whew!

"Nexus!!"

'Ding--'

"Nexus!!!"

018 Mitsuhiko Ishibori's Return

Time and again, he died and rose again. When he counted to the hundredth time, the original Ultraman gave up and started counting. At the same time, he witnessed the growth of this boy. Compared to his initial crushing defeat, he can now deal with things in a more sophisticated way. It has to be said that his learning ability is still amazing.

It's unclear what he's doing at this moment. Every time he fires the Spacium Beam, the destructive beam with his hands crossed in a cross shape, he always pushes it forward with his body, seemingly willing to 'die'. This puzzles the original.

However, after this death, the First Generation saw that the 'regenerated' boy's body was already swaying. After struggling to lift the transformation device, he collapsed to the ground, indicating that he had reached his limit. At the same time, he also realized that the projection he was inhabiting was becoming dissipated, just like a real dream about to end. Everything around him became nothingness. In a daze, the First Generation saw his familiar ceiling in front of him.

What's wrong with me?

The first generation subconsciously pondered, shaking his head. He didn't feel any discomfort, but it was as if he had really had a dream. He couldn't recall the things in the dream very clearly, but he had a deep impression of the boy who 'died and came back to life' and 'came back to life and died again,' and he would never forget it.

'I remember Nexus was the juvenile form of Ultraman Noa, and the complete form of Ultraman Noa possessed the ability to travel through time and space. Could that be why I had such a strange dream?'

The original Ultraman was a little confused, but that didn't matter. If he couldn't figure it out himself, he could just find a professional. So, after tidying up the room, the original Ultraman pushed open the door and strolled out onto the wide road of the Land of Light.

On his way to find someone, the First Hokage encountered a group of teachers and students conducting an extracurricular lesson. The teacher leading the group warmly invited the First Hokage to give these kindergarten children a lesson on the Land of Light. The First Hokage thought for a moment, deciding there was no rush, cleared his throat, and began to speak softly and gently to the children:

Since the super-evolution event 260,000 years ago, the average height of the inhabitants of the Land of Light has reached 40 meters and their average weight is 40,000 metric tons. They are known as the Giants of Light - Ultraman. Furthermore, the Land of Light is surrounded by radioactive rays from the artificial sun - the Diffuser Line.

As for the terrain, the Land of Light has mountains and plains, but no sea. If you want to swim, you can only go to Planet Anima or Planet Kifaron. On the high mountains, there are auroras known as the "Fountain of Life" that have healing properties. On the plains, there are about three hundred towns. There are no four seasons. To be honest, Ultraman is very envious of Earthlings who have four seasons.

There are no other countries on this planet. Father of Ultra is the supreme leader. The total population of the Land of Light is more than 18 billion. Everyone has a clear division of labor and does the work they like. However, there is no police force in the Land of Light. After all, the social order here is very good, and there has not been a crime for hundreds of thousands of years.

Within the organizational structure of the Land of Light, there is the "Universe Peace Committee" headed by Father of Ultra, and its three subordinate agencies: the defense agency "Universe Guard," the research agency "Universe Science and Technology Bureau," and the auxiliary agency "Silver Cross Army."

The Space Garrison is a defense organization dedicated to protecting peace throughout the universe. Stationed on various planets invaded by alien races, it was established 30,000 years ago, with Father of Ultra as its captain and Zoffy as the captain of the First Squadron. It comprises one million people (including ten thousand aliens from outside the M78 Nebula). Its subordinate organizations include:

The Ultra Brothers are an elite team of 11 guards. They are an honorary title awarded by the Land of Light to some of the elite members of the space guard who have made outstanding contributions to protecting the Earth. The six most representative members are Zoffy, Ultraman, Seven, Jack, Ace, and Taro, and they are known as the Ultra Six Brothers.

【Warrior Command】, the elite force of the Space Garrison, similar to special forces, only deployed in emergencies.

The Space Security Bureau, also known as the Space Patrol, consists of security personnel selected from the entire Nebula branch, responsible for assisting the Space Security Force and intelligence gathering.
