Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

It seems another experiment has been completed.

Subaru chuckled inwardly and seized the opportunity presented by Dark Faust's distraction, instantly accelerating to his front and raising a fist brimming with light energy high. Dark Faust was startled but didn't panic; it was just a surprise attack of this magnitude, he could catch it... Ugh!

Dark Faust casually deployed a barrier, intending to take the punch head-on and then deliver a powerful blow to Nexus. However, the moment the barrier opened, the descending fist suddenly transformed into a palm, using the force of the blow to propel Nexus's other hand out like lightning, slamming it into Dark Faust's chest. The powerful force even created sonic booms behind the dark giant. After a brief pause of about a second, Dark Faust was sent hurtling backward.

"Sa!"

Almost simultaneously, Nexus vanished from his spot. The giant of light, having accurately predicted the trajectory, bent his arm like a scythe and thrust in the opposite direction with his elbow, slicing into the back of Dark Faust's neck. The terrifying impact caused a deafening sound to echo throughout the entire dark realm.

"Who taught you this?"

Watching such brutal fighting, Saijo Nagi couldn't help but mutter to herself. Wakura Eisuke, who was piloting his fighter jet to avoid the alien beast's tentacles, shook his head in reply:

"Anyway, it's not me. I'm not very good at using this thing. Shiori, Ishibori, prepare to use the ultimate beam together and try to destroy this alien beast with our strength."

"Yes!"

Shiori Hiraki responded in a low voice, then paused, turned slightly to look at Mitsuhiko Ishibori behind her, and said:

"Um, do you still remember how to control it?"

"I don't remember...but..."

Mitsuhiko Ishibori closed his eyes, but his hands expertly activated the aiming system, and he said in a bitter tone:

"My body seems to remember things very well..."

"Looking at it another way, this is a good thing; we need to prepare."

"okay."

As the Night Raid team began their attempt to surround and kill the giant alien beast, on the other side of the battlefield, seeing Dark Faust's head pressed tightly against his back, Subaru Gen slightly pulled back. During his battle with Ultraman, he had vaguely grasped some of the principles behind the destructive beam, but hadn't had time to test it in actual combat. Now was the perfect opportunity—he'd give Dark Faust a try...

"Help me...help me..."

However, at that moment, a faint voice came from the energy core in Dark Faust's chest. Nexus's eyes flashed and he saw that Maki Shunichi was waving for help. At this moment, his eyes were incredibly clear, but he was trapped in a swamp-like darkness. Countless arms reached out from it, pulling Maki Shunichi's body, trying to make him sink into the boundless darkness again.

"I...I want to see my child one more time, please, just let me go back and see him one more time..."

‘Stab it! ’

However, Gen Subaru showed no sign of stopping. Lightning crackled across the Armed Nexus as a new type of 'Cross Ray Storm' rapidly took shape.

"Why, why didn't you save me! I hate you!!"

Seeing Nexus's actions, Maki Shunichi's expression first turned to utter despair, then hatred replaced despair. Maki Shunichi, who was slowly sinking into darkness, roared at Nexus like a beast, but what he was met with was a surging, scorching beam of light.

"Hmph, how delightful."

Just before the beam of light arrived, Maki Shunichi also sank completely into darkness. At the same time, a terrifying black light emerged from the nearly decapitated Dark Faust. Under the illumination of the black light, the Dark Giant became intact again, grinning and stretching his neck as he spoke:

"I never imagined that it would be my successor who truly pushed me into darkness. Hmph, this hatred truly brings me pleasure..."

"Just now, the muscles in your left hand and right leg were tense, and your right hand's posture was also unnatural. I suppose you were planning to push off with your right leg, feint with your left hand, and attack with your right hand after I got close."

Nexus shook his hand; the way the simulated beam had been fired was a bit off, and it had made his wrist ache. As he spoke, trying to buy himself some time to recover, he said in a disdainful tone:

"Are you planning to retaliate with a tit-for-tat attack? What a clumsy trap, or are you just overestimating yourself? Ha!"

"You stood by and watched me die, yet you still try to sweet-talk me. Is this how the current generation of capable individuals behaves?"

Subaru was buying time to recover, and so was Dark Faust, who was rapidly absorbing the power of the Dark Realm to recover from his life-threatening state.

"Are you really Shinki Shunichi?"

"nature."

"Then you deserve to die."

The numbness in his arm had subsided. Nexus assumed a fighting stance, staring at Dark Faust, and said:

"Fifteen people have already perished at your and the alien beasts' hands. You should pay with your life. But rest assured, your child will grow up strong and healthy thanks to the heroic deeds of his father, Sa!"

Nexus launched another fierce attack. The still-recovering Dark Faust felt fear; this generation's chosen one was hard-hearted and incredibly murderous. There was no need to continue entangled with him now, and besides...

Dark Faust glanced to the side. The liquid alien beast Pedron was almost dead under the Night Raid team's attack. Once Nexus made a move to finish it off, it would be completely gone. There was no need to continue fighting here.

Thinking of this, Dark Faust let out a sinister chuckle, as if he had some backup plan in mind, but in reality he was planning to teleport out of the Dark Domain. However, just as his figure was about to disappear, a flash of crimson light appeared, and Nexus, who had activated his telekinesis, suddenly appeared in front of him. He grabbed the long horn on his head with one hand, roared, and forcefully swung him over his shoulder, slamming him heavily forward to the ground.

Is this thing really in its juvenile stage?!

Stunned by the sudden turn of events, Dark Faust subconsciously pondered this question: He was such a clueless idiot during their last encounter, how did he manage to anticipate and predict attacks so accurately this time...?

Before he could finish thinking, Dark Faust saw the giant's knee coming down on his throat and hurriedly rolled to the side. However, he didn't see that during his fall, lightning was already surging on Nexus's Armed Nexus. After he dodged, Nexus immediately shot out 'Cross Ray Storm' upon landing. The violent energy slammed into Dark Faust's chest, carving a long trench in the ground.

Hold on! Hold on! If we can just hold on until the 'Cross Ray Storm' ends, we'll have a chance!

Dark Faust gritted his teeth, concentrating all the dark energy he had just absorbed into his chest to counteract Nexus's attack, but...

A second passed...

Two seconds passed...

Three seconds passed...

Four seconds have passed...

Why isn't this radiation over yet?!

Seeing the 'Cross Ray Storm' not only not diminishing, but even growing thicker, Dark Faust suddenly began to doubt his existence. He was supposed to be Nexus's shadow; he could do everything Nexus could do, and Nexus might not be able to do everything Nexus could do. How could this be...?

“Sah!!”

Suddenly, Dark Faust heard Nexus's battle cry. At the same time, the power of 'Cross Ray Storm' instantly increased to a level he had no recollection of. With no room to struggle, Dark Faust collapsed to the ground in despair, giving up all resistance.

But clearly, someone was reluctant to let this pawn leave the stage. Behind Dark Faust, a vortex of dark energy suddenly appeared, and a pair of eerie blue eyes stared at Nexus from within. The trajectory of 'Cross Ray Storm' was forcibly distorted and deviated under the influence of the dark energy vortex, and Dark Faust was also dragged into it. When he saw the giant of light about to rush in, the owner of those eyes let out a disdainful snort and then disappeared.

Is that Zaki?

"No, it's a new enemy, weaker than Zaki."

Subaru answered Shiori Hiraki's question, then looked at the liquid alien beast Pedron, which had been almost completely destroyed by the ultimate ray. The alien beast's body fluid contained a large amount of alcohol, and if it were to explode completely, it would have a certain impact on the battlefield. That was why the Night Raid Team had not yet made a killing move. Now that Dark Faust had retreated, there was no need to hold it back. With the combined effect of 'Cross Ray Storm' and the ultimate ray, the alien beast exploded with a bang, and all the alien beast cytokines were completely wiped out.

"Very good, operation successful, everyone, begin the return journey."

Kura Eisuke breathed a sigh of relief and happily told everyone that the Night Raid Team had finally helped Minamoto Subaru, which was something to be celebrated. Nexus also nodded, released the Meta Field, raised his hands, and with a 'whoosh,' flew into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, at TLT-J headquarters, Matsunaga Yoichiro and Kirasawa Yu, having received and viewed all the battle footage, paused the image on the moment the dark energy vortex appeared and looked at the technician beside them, saying:

"Conduct an eye comparison."

"Yes!"

The technicians skillfully imported the screenshot of the eye within the dark energy vortex into the database, and the comparison results popped up in less than three seconds.

"As expected, it is Mizoroki Shinji."

Looking at that familiar face, Matsunaga Yoichiro rubbed his temples with a slight headache and said:

"How come all these dark giants are connected to TLT-J? I feel like TLT-J is like a sieve."

"There's no other way. After all, we have too many secrets here. How can they obtain specific intelligence without starting from within?"

Kirasawa Yu casually made up an excuse to appease Matsunaga Yoichiro, who was under immense pressure lately, then hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Speaking of which, the three officers, Togo, Koyanagi, and Soma, want to meet with Minamoto no Subaru."

"Ha... this trouble has finally arrived."

Matsunaga Yoichiro is the administrator of TLT-J, but above him are three executives responsible for leading TLT-J's armed forces in eliminating the alien beasts appearing on the island nation. Previously, those three executives, concerned about the potential danger posed by Minamoto no Subaru, delegated all communication rights to him. Now, they seem to be getting restless again. Politicians, ah, they're really annoying...

020 I will destroy the Earth before the alien beasts.

"This Dark Faust, and the owner of the newly appeared pair of eyes, do not seem to have any pieces of the cosmic monster's corpse in their hands."

While Matsunaga was asking Ichiro to meet with the three officers, the Night Raid Team was also having a small meeting to summarize what they had learned from the battle. However, when Eisuke Kurama looked at Subaru sitting on the cockpit canopy, he thought for a moment and didn't say much, but he felt that the boy's physical strength was becoming more and more like that of an alien.

However, he still remembered what Administrator Matsunaga had said: the stronger Minamoto no Subaru's power, the shorter his lifespan would be. According to the latest medical report, the boy's lifespan limit, optimistically speaking, was probably only ten years at most.

"team leader?"

"Ah? Sorry," Eisuke Wakura said hastily, snapping out of his reverie at Nagi Saijo's call. "I was a little distracted just now. Where were we?"

“Just now, Gen Ang suspected that Dark Faust was created by the owner of those eyes, so there may be no connection between those eyes and Zagi.”

"That possibility is probably very small."

Kazukura Eisuke sighed, turned to look at the vice-captain behind him, and said quietly:

"Saijo, Shiori, don't you two think those eyes look familiar?"

"Gourou Mujin also..."

Upon hearing Eisuke Wakura's words, Shiori Hiraki shrank back slightly, not daring to reply. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the fighter jet where Nagi Saijo was, while the vice-captain of the Night Raid Team whispered in an unusually complicated tone:

"Yes, it's him. I can't be wrong."

Is this Gou Lümu Zhen?

Sitting in his fighter jet, Gen Subaru sensed the eerie atmosphere permeating the Night Raid team because of this name. Braving the wind, he took out his communicator and began searching for the name. As a compatible user who cooperated with TLT-J, his access was very high, and he could even find out some information about visitors. Therefore, finding out the specific information about the former vice-captain of the Night Raid team was quite easy.

According to this message, a year ago, Mizoroki was the vice-captain of the Night Raid Team. His combat skills and awareness were quite excellent. Later, during a mission, Mizoroki discovered that he and Saijo Nagi had an incredible ability to sense the vibration waves of alien beasts, even though their TLT equipment could not detect them. Therefore, Mizoroki had high hopes for Saijo Nagi as a newcomer. Under his strict guidance, Saijo Nagi became an excellent alien beast hunter.

However, during a nighttime operation, he and Saijo Nagi changed their original plan and went into an abandoned factory alone to attack some alien beasts possessing humans. A few minutes after they entered the operation, the other members of the Night Raid Team suddenly lost all contact with them.

According to Saijo Nagi's account afterward, when Mizoroki Makoto killed the possessed humans after storming the factory, he found that they were already dead and their bodies were being manipulated like puppets by the alien beasts.
