Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

After Gen Subaru defeated the alien beasts and the last patient with the black spot disease recovered on his own, Administrator Matsunaga issued the final instructions in the command room. Upon receiving this news, some staff members cheered. Yokohama was their hometown, and although they could not find out the list of patients, this unexpected event still made them anxious.

However, after a brief moment of cheers, everyone in the TLT-J command room stood up, bowed their heads, and observed three minutes of silence for the victims of this alien invasion before returning to their posts to prepare for the next alien invasion.

But Matsunaga Yoichiro's expression remained very serious. He went straight to the conference room, saw the three superiors with equally serious expressions, and Kirasawa Yu, adjusted his glasses, and said softly:

"I've heard that the situation in other branches isn't very optimistic."

"Ah."

Governor Togo nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Just now, incidents involving alien beasts have broken out all over the world. Although those alien beasts do not have the ability to grow to gigantic size, in terms of this attack, the weapons and equipment currently equipped by TLT have significantly reduced their lethality against alien beasts."

"This is Dark Zagi's plot."

Kira Sawa rested his chin on his hands and said with a sharp look in his eyes:

"He wants us to hand over the data on the Ultimate Ray so that TLT can develop related weapons and equipment to enable the Alien Beasts to evolve the ability to adapt to the Nexus Ray."

"Ah, that's what headquarters thinks too, so they've already issued orders for us, TLT-J, to block the data on the Ultimate Ray. As for the new weapon systems, they'll figure that out themselves."

Commander Soma understood what Kirasawa was thinking, so he told him the result directly. Then Commander Koyanagi said with a headache:

"The more troublesome thing now is still this."

Behind the three officers, projectors popped up, showing footage of Nexus battling the alien beasts in the Meta Realm.

"This scene, this angle... it looks like it was filmed on location."

Matsunaga Yoichiro's eyes narrowed, and he spoke in a cold, low voice. Kirasawa Yu, who understood what he was going to do, shook his head and helplessly took over the conversation:

“We have already checked the IP addresses that sent these pictures, and without exception, they all belong to people who have been possessed by Dark Zagi. This has been confirmed by Mitsuhiko Ishibori.”

"This is the focus of our work going forward."

Governor Togo looked at Administrator Matsunaga and said earnestly:

"To delay the truth from being revealed to the public as much as possible."

Yes, it will be a little later. Therefore, everyone understands that Dark Zagi is spreading quietly in the shadows. Even if TLT blocks the global internet, similar urban legends will still spread quietly. In addition, with the inevitable government information blockade, it won't be long before this becomes something that people tacitly understand. And this will still spread fear, making it the nourishment for Dark Zagi's growth.

"I understand."

Matsunaga Yoichiro nodded firmly. Then, Commander Koyanagi gestured for him to sit down. At the same time, an iron curtain, blocking sound, radio waves, and other media, descended from all sides, turning the conference room into an absolutely sealed space. Then, Commander Koyanagi said softly:

"TLT headquarters has now approved our resource request, and TLT-J's needs will be met as soon as possible in the coming period."

Upon hearing this, Matsunaga Yoichiro and Kirasawa Yu's expressions changed slightly. If headquarters had made such a decision, then without a doubt, they also believed that this island nation would become the final battleground.

"Under such circumstances, we are fortunate to have a reliable comrade like Gen Subaru. Therefore, after discussion among the three of us, while we can still make changes to the construction plan, let's start a new vote."

Governor Togo sat up straight and said in a deep voice:

"TLT-J Branch, should we continue with the 'Ultraman' project or restart the original plan? Manager Matsunaga, Staff Officer Kira, you have three minutes to think it over. Once the time is up, you must make a decision."

After they finished speaking, a corner of the table in front of the five people opened, and a small keyboard slowly rose up. Matsunaga Yoichiro and Kirasawa Yu picked up the keyboard and began to think seriously. After three minutes, the five people present made their choices at the same time.

Seeing the same five answers on the screen, Commander Togo turned around and said seriously:

"In that case, let's restart Project Ark and accelerate research to attempt mass production of the [Kamen Rider] armor! Everyone, let's work hard for the continuation of human civilization!"

Just as the TLT-J executives were making their decision, Gen Subaru had already shaken off the influence of the Sloth Energy and returned to reality from the Deep Blue Space.

This dark energy is incredibly strong...

Looking at the ceiling of his room, Yuan Mao pulled the blanket up a little, thinking helplessly. Just now, whether in actual combat or in the Deep Blue Space, when he tried to summon dark energy, that kind of tyrannical, crazy, and savagely powerful energy was really difficult to control. He tried it in the Deep Blue Space, and four minutes was the only time he could maintain his rationality under the impact of this dark energy.

This, of course, was not enough to satisfy Gen Subaru. What he hoped for was to completely control this power and be able to switch between darkness and light as freely as Ultraman Tiga. In that case, the range of energy he could convert would be greatly expanded.

Furthermore, his already abundant reserves of light energy will become even larger, and the more destructive power of dark energy will make combat much easier for him.

Well, after thinking about it for so long, Gen Subaru felt more and more strongly the necessity of mastering this dark energy as soon as possible, but how to master it...?

The boy clutched his blanket, rolling around uncomfortably on the bed, but soon he settled down, grabbed his sleep aid, and sent himself into the deep blue space—

Worrying is pointless; you might as well start training sooner.

Just as Gen Subaru was marveling at how wonderful the Deep Blue Space was, where injuries were no problem, Gai Kurenai, who was traveling through the universe, quietly landed on a planet. He explored the planet with some skepticism, and eventually, he found a familiar figure.

"Jugglus...are you alright?"

Looking at Jugglus Juggler, dressed in religious robes and chanting the sect's sacred chants while sitting cross-legged, Kai suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an illusion or entered another dimension.

Kagura? Self-cultivation? Vegetarianism and chanting scriptures? Putting these three words together, it's impossible to think of any connection between them.

"Kai, what brings you here?"

Jugglus opened one eye, glanced at Gai Kurenai, then closed his eye and said with dissatisfaction:

"If you have something to say, say it; if not, get lost. Can't you see I'm busy?"

Hey~~ that tone, it's just right.

Hong Kai breathed a sigh of relief, sat down unceremoniously next to Jugglus, fiddled with the religious implements in front of him, and said softly:

"It's nothing, I just heard some strange things have been happening here lately. Seeing you like this, I feel a little more at ease. So, is there anything here that you want?"

"Have."

Jugglus Juggler said in a deep, aged voice:

"What I seek is peace of mind and restful sleep."

"Is it effective?"

"Have."

Jugglus's tone was so subtle that even Gai couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

"I haven't had a nightmare for two whole days."

"What kind of nightmare could have tormented you like this?"

Hong Kai asked in surprise:

"Have you fallen for the enemy's trick?"

"If that's the case, then it's fine; we can just kill the enemy directly."

Jugglus's words were laced with murderous intent, but then, as if sensing something, he quickly muttered a few holy chants, sighed, and said:

"There's no problem. Okay, just say what's on your mind. I'm really busy here."

"It's still about Minamoto no Subaru."

Kai took a bite of the food he carried with him and looked at Jugglus, saying:

"I found out about a base where biochemical experiments are being conducted, and I happened to hear about you, so I thought I'd ask if you'd like to come along?"

"...Wait for me for seven days."

Jugglus Juggler paused for a moment, then answered softly:

"If I stop having nightmares within seven days, I'll come with you. If I do......"

Jugglus patted Gai on the shoulder, and a ray of light he received split off and entered the Orb Ring. Instantly, a 'Nexus Ultra Fusion Card' with a limited number of uses floated in front of Gai.

"Take this power with you."

"Alright, alright, I'll wait seven days. Anyway, nothing will go wrong in these seven days."

Kai carefully put away the 'Ultraman Nexus Fusion Card', then walked away boredly to avoid being called annoying by Jugglus Juggler again. By the way... he wanted to test the strength of this new card. To be honest, everyone who fought the Cosmic Witch knows how powerful Subaru is, so his Ultra Fusion Card must be pretty amazing!

Huh?! Why did I suddenly get the Ultraman Orb projection option here?

On the other side, the round brush in the deep blue space looked at the character selection interface that suddenly popped up in front of it in surprise. It tilted its head in confusion, but didn't think much of it. It just assumed that it was a method left behind by Tiga that was still modifying this space.

The boy had no intention of choosing him for a sparring match for the time being, since mastering the power of darkness was the key right now.

Ah...no, that won't work at all.

After trying various methods and dying more than twenty times, the boy rubbed his hair, his scalp tingling with fear. He had no idea how to find a way to break through his current predicament.

Ugh, I'm so annoyed. I really want to kill some alien beast to relax!

'It's over, it's all over....'

Someone is calling for help again... No, have they already fallen into despair?

Yuan Mao paused for a moment, then looked up at the sky above the deep blue space. His body then turned into gray mist and flew towards the space from which the sound came.

Don't give up so easily! I'm coming right now to help you!

Meanwhile, in another universe, a roaring cyborg beast brandishes its claws. Before it stand the petrified Ultraman Ginga and Ultraman Victory, whose human forms, Hikaru and Sho, are protected by Ultraman Ginga and Ultraman Victory as they break free from the stone statue.

but!

This time, the enemy was their mortal foe, whom they had already fought once before. Having learned its lesson, it launched a finishing blow on the human host without hesitation. Although the Taro Light residing in Hikaru's body blocked the finishing blow for them, Hikaru and Sho still suffered considerable damage. Hikaru even needed to use his strength to stand there.

"Taro-senpai... Taro-senpai!"

Hikaru leaned against the ruins, calling out Taro's name to the red bracelet on his wrist, but received no response. It seemed that the clone residing in it had fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion of power, which made Hikaru sigh deeply.

"It's over..."
