Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Then, Jugglus Juggler in his Unicorn form appeared silently and suddenly. Before the cosmic swordsman could figure out what was going on, he saw Subaru yawning and wiping away his tears, and he also saw his own Snake Heart Sword raised. A standard and deadly thrust pierced the boy's neck in the blink of an eye, and then with a horizontal swipe, the boy's head fell to the ground.

"..."

All of this happened so fast that Jugglus didn't even have time to react, and when he did, his head was filled with a series of booming sounds.

Who am I? Where am I? Who did I just kill?

Jugglus was reluctant to face reality, but in the next second, he saw the boy's corpse in front of him disappear, and a familiar figure appeared not far away.

However, the boy did not transform into Nexus and use his telekinesis to create a sword prototype to use as a weapon. To be honest, Nexus's enhancement to himself was a bit too high, and perhaps due to excessive skill training, he sometimes unconsciously unleashed beams of light, which was not conducive to swordsmanship learning.

From Jugglus's perspective, however, it was as if the well-prepared Subaru was being repeatedly and skillfully killed by him, even resorting to dirty tricks that he hadn't used in a long time. Meanwhile, the boy opposite him remained unchanged, dying and coming back to life without uttering a sound, just holding a rough sword blank and charging towards him like a reckless youth.

That's enough, let's just end this already.

Jugglus Juggler turned his head away, relieved that Subaru wouldn't scream, meaning he could simply avoid looking. Although he could still tell what had happened from the whistling of the blade and the sounds of flesh being torn apart, but...

Just distract yourself, this damn lucid dream...

However, after training for a while, Genjiro ended his sword training for the day. He had used up too much energy in the battle with Tiga, and he couldn't concentrate in the battle with the projection of Jugglus Juggler, so he didn't learn much. Therefore, Genjiro ended his training for the day and went to take a nap.

On the other side, Jugglus Juggler, who had just woken up, rubbed his forehead in exasperation. Then, his instinctive movement to grab his sword almost caused him to drop the Serpent Heart Sword. Looking at the drizzling rain outside the cave, Jugglus Juggler fell silent for a moment and decided not to take on the assassination mission, but to earn some extra money on the side.

I must have been under too much pressure lately to have had such terrible lucid dreams. I need to calm myself down and learn to be peaceful during this time...

Meanwhile, Daigo Madoka, who had just taken a nap, stared at the ceiling with several question marks on his head. He felt like a fully armed knight preparing to ride his beloved warhorse, only to find that the horse had disappeared and turned into a little donkey, which then happily carried him to the seaside far away from the battlefield.

What a mess this is, it's absolutely terrible.

Daigo Madoka sighed, got out of bed, and prepared to resume his work with the GUTS team...

For the next week, the alien beasts were unusually quiet, not appearing at all. Subaru was immersed in Leo and Jugglus's special training, while Tiga...

Subaru had no intention of trying to challenge him for the time being. After the last battle, he finally understood why Tiga-senpai had refused his request to fight. For him, he could have just blasted himself to death without moving his feet, like Ace.

Therefore, we should prepare more and strive to improve each time.

However, as the saying goes, everyone has their moments of wanting a beating. After being brutally beaten by Leo and Jugglus for a while, Subaru suddenly wanted to try something different and see how many rounds he could last against Tiga.

However, as Gen Subaru walked out of the training ground wiping away sweat, an unusual tremor alerted him. It wasn't caused by an earthquake; it was more like something had exploded.

Is it the enemy?

Subaru rushed to the nearby monitoring point, and sure enough, he saw a mountain of flesh-like monster not far from TLT-J. This surprised him; after the last mechanical monster attack, all TLT divisions had strengthened the potential barrier of their headquarters to prevent monsters from directly infiltrating their bases. So why...?

No matter, let’s fight first.

Subaru immediately drew his Evolution Truster, transforming into Nexus, and stood in front of the monster. Golden light rained down, enveloping the two enormous figures.

"Manager Matsunaga, that position is...."

Since the Night Raid Team members were not yet able to launch an attack, Kirasawa Yu naturally appeared beside Matsunaga Yoichiro. Looking at the area destroyed by the monster, he frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.

Matsunaga Yoichiro sighed, his face grim, and said softly:

"It failed... What a pity..."

"Administrator Matsunaga!"

At this moment, a disheveled medical staff member, escorted by relevant personnel, entered the command room. Looking intently at Matsunaga Yoichiro, he handed him a briefcase and said in a grave tone:

"Our minister requests your assistance in completing the final experiment!"

Meanwhile, in Meta's domain, the monster, sensing danger, immediately stood up. Its loose, pink flesh was torn apart by orange claws encasing it. The torn flesh fell to the ground and underwent a violent change, rapidly corroding and releasing black miasma.

What did Dark Zagi create?

Looking at the monster in front of him, which resembled a tree trunk covered with tentacles and claws, Gen Subaru frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Dark Zagi didn't know where the monster came from. After hesitating for a while, he noticed the Meta Domain unfolding, but still curiously turned his gaze over. Looking at the monster that was even more sanity-draining than the Alien Beast, he couldn't figure out if he had left something outside.

However, none of that matters. As long as someone is dealing with Nexus, I'll lend a hand, however little I have to!

Dark Zagi grinned and activated Dark Domain G. However, in that instant, a scene that shocked everyone appeared. The monster's claws instantly assembled into a giant bite. As it opened its mouth and emitted ear-piercing, headache-inducing ultrasonic waves, a powerful suction vortex appeared in the middle of its mouth, swallowing up all the dark energy that was eroding Meta Domain.

How is this possible?! X2

Subaru and Dark Zagi both widened their eyes, especially the latter. When he saw this scene, he suddenly panicked, as if he had encountered his natural enemy around the corner. He immediately began to restrain his aura and carefully watched the changes in Meta Domain.

And just to be on the safe side, Dark Zagi also sent out a Zergling as a pawn to divert attention.

But the alien beast was a minor matter at this point; the key issue was that the clawed monster underwent a new transformation after absorbing the dark energy.

The monstrous, shell-like mouth, pieced together from countless sharp claws, extended outwards with tentacles. At the ends of the tentacles, two long, curved, orange-red hard lumps split outwards, which thrashed about erratically as the tentacles moved.

For a moment, amidst the chaos, it seemed as if pairs of eyes were staring intently at everything around them.

To be honest, this... is scarier than the alien beasts.

Dark Zagi silently complained, then hid himself even deeper, while Nexus gritted his teeth and charged toward the monster floating in the air.

But upon sensing the hostility, those eyes immediately shot out distorted beams of light, attacking and destroying everything around them without any blind spots. The alien beast that had been sent there as cannon fodder hadn't even taken two steps before it was blasted by the beams of light, leaving only its upper body. It hurriedly waved its claws, dug a hole in the ground, and crawled inside.

On Nexus's side, faced with such a dense attack, their offensive was halted, and they quickly deployed a circular shield, intending to weather this wave first.

To Yuan Mao's surprise, after the distorted light was blocked by the circular shield, the surrounding light seemed to come alive. The ends of the light beams transformed into mouths full of sharp teeth, which bit hard against the edge of the circular shield, producing a squeaking and grimacing sound, as well as sparks from the energy collision.

What on earth is this?

Nexus glanced at the ever-growing beams of light surrounding him, then at the monster that showed no signs of stopping, and realized that this was not a battle that could be delayed.

As Nexus clasped his hands together and stretched them forward, the energy of the circular shield instantly transformed into a guillotine, hurtling forward. At the same time, Nexus clenched his right fist at his waist and swung his left hand, forming a blade with his fingers together, to the side. Then, with his palms facing each other, lightning flashed between them, and his hands formed a cross, unleashing the complete 'Cross Ray Storm'.

Nexus had his reasons for doing this. Firstly, the simplified version of 'Cross Ray Storm', even with the incorporation of the original Specium's techniques, was slightly less powerful when first activated than the original. Only with continuous firing could its power gradually increase until it surpassed the original.

Secondly, he wasn't very proficient at this technique that he had just figured out in the training field, and the starting procedure of 'Cross Storm Ray' gave him some time to prepare.

As for the final result...

That's it!

The Cross Ray Storm landed precisely on the Guillotine, which was merely a transformation of the circular shield. Even ordinary cutting techniques couldn't compare to it. After receiving this energy conversion and replenishment, the Guillotine's size, power, and speed suddenly increased. In the blink of an eye, it passed through the obstruction of the distorted beam and cleaved the monster in two!

But at that moment, Subaru and Dark Zagi saw the monster's cross-section, which contained distorted human faces, the most prominent of which was clearly the face of Ichiro Mizuta.

What... is going on...?

Gen Subaru took two steps back, finding it hard to believe. How could Mr. Mizuta, who had been eating at the same table with him this morning, be here? How could he be fused with that monster?

Ok? !

Dark Zagi, who had once infiltrated TLT-J, naturally recognized Mizuta Ichiro. After a moment's thought, he had the alien beast hiding underground secretly steal the monster fragments and tentacles that had been cut off by the guillotine. He then decisively retrieved them and erased all traces of his presence without hesitation, disappearing without looking back.

At the same time, the TLT-J commandos piloted their fighter jets into the Meta Realm. Seeing the monster that had briefly crashed due to being cut open, they immediately accelerated to full speed.

One fighter jet intercepted Nexus as it tried to stop it, while another, escorted by others, launched a specially designed missile into the monster's severed mouth.

As the missile exploded, a white mist enveloped the monster, and its twisted flesh and tentacles immediately began to melt. Mizuta Ichiro and the other researchers, who were encased in the mist, fell out.

Nexus hurriedly caught it with his Ultra Telekinesis and gently placed it on the ground. He then deactivated his transformation, hugged the rice paddy, and was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Meanwhile, Mizuta Ichinō slowly awoke on his own. Looking at the boy with tears welling in his eyes, and then at the circling fighter jet, he instantly understood everything. He flashed a V-sign at Gen Subaru, a smug smile on his face, and whispered:

"We...we really are all geniuses..."

076 Do you want me to teach Daigo how to self-destruct?

"Mr. Mizuta..."

Gen Subaru looked at Mizuta Ichinō's hand, or more precisely, his arm after he raised his scissor hand and his sleeve slid down. His elbow was covered with a dense array of needle marks, all of which had formed black marks.

The boy also felt that the weight coming from his hands was not what an adult should feel, so he gently touched Mizuta Ichiro's chest through his clothes, but what he got back was a clear feeling of his ribs.

This startled Gen Subaru slightly. Looking at Mizuta Ichinō's face, which hadn't changed much, he slowly reached out and ran his hand along his cheek before peeling off a mask.

"The craftsmanship from China is quite good, isn't it? I never expected it to be so effective."

The gaunt, bony figure of Shui Tian Yilang maintained his smile and said softly:

"It's great that I was able to keep this a secret until the very last moment."

"Mr. Mizuta, I'll take you back right away..."

Gen Subaru stood up while holding Mizuta Ichinomiya, and this slight movement caused the doctor's sparse hair to fall out completely, like falling maple leaves carried away by the wind.

"Subaru, this is... the path I chose... I don't regret it..."

At this moment, Mizuta Ichinō's body also began to melt away. The face that was once somewhat familiar was gradually disappearing. With its last strength, the hand, almost indistinguishable from its own fingers, stroked the boy's cheek and whispered:

"Finally...finally I can help you, child. Live on, live well..."

As soon as Mizuta Ichiro finished speaking, his body melted away like that monster. The other doctors and researchers also left with smiles on their faces. In the blink of an eye, all that remained of these sixteen living humans were sixteen sets of clothes and white coats, swaying quietly in the wind.

"Subaru, it's time to go back."

At this moment, a member of the suicide squad who had interacted with Gen Subaru a few times came over to help the dazed boy up, carried him on his back, and walked towards the fighter jet. The others carefully tidied up the clothes and put them into a box with the TLT badge, and returned to the TLT-J headquarters together.

Soon after, Matsunaga Yoichiro and Kirasawa Yu appeared before Genji Subaru. Looking at the boy sitting blankly in his chair, staring at the white coat in the rice paddies, Matsunaga Yoichiro adjusted his glasses, took a step forward, and half-squatted in front of Genji Subaru, softly saying:

"Mizuta and his team have been developing a drug that can stabilize your cells. Although the process was difficult, the progress was surprisingly rapid, and they soon achieved good experimental results. However, out of caution, they decided to conduct another experiment using cell tissue cultured based on your cells, which is even more unstable."

At this point, Matsunaga Yoichiro took out a medicine box from his pocket, opened it, and a pinkish-white liquid was quietly stored in a syringe.

"It's just that Mizuta and the others didn't expect that the activated cells would cause such a riot, and they were unfortunately caught up in it and assimilated. However, even so, the cell stabilizer they developed still performed very well. So, according to the conclusions left by Mizuta before his death, this drug is suitable for your situation. Therefore, Subaru, accept this... gift from humanity."
