Ultraman: Matching you with an equally matched daddy

"It seems that Ligadron is indeed not a Spyar chimera, but knowing this is of no use."

Daigo was still thinking about how Takahashi should deal with the counterfeit goods.

On the other end of the communicator, Takahashi was having a headache.

I don't know why the real original Ultraman came to Earth.

Surely it couldn't really be because of this imposter, could it?

"Daigo, send me his photo now. I want to check his real identity first."

There was no point in overthinking it, so Takahashi decided to have the bracelet appraised.

Daigo acted quickly, sending over a picture of the original Ultraman flying.

【Composite Monster - Ligadron】

Current combat strength: B+

[Legendary Status: Illustrious]

[Defeat Reward: 9 Star Point]

[Matchable target: Ultraman Tiga]

Current Star Power: 19 points

"What? It's you, kid. You scared me!"

Takahashi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the scan results for the bracelet.

Although I don't know why Ligadron turned into the appearance of the original Ultraman.

However, the original work mentions that the mysterious luminous entity encountered by Jeep No. 3 was originally an energy life form without a physical form.

The reason it appears as a monster is that it is a manifestation of the fears in the hearts of astronauts.

Perhaps this current state is a manifestation of what astronauts hope for.

"You can get a strong response if you want it. Now, there's nothing to fear."

Muttering the theme song of the new Ultraman, Takahashi clenched his fist. Since the three astronauts fought tenaciously until the very last moment, they still believed in the original Ultraman.

Then he certainly wouldn't let their hopes be dashed.

"It is the monster I mentioned to you before. It was originally an energy life form without a physical body. Now, after absorbing the astronauts of Jeep 3, it has become this form."

This is because the three astronauts never gave up the fight, never gave up hope, until the very end. We must save them, Daigo.

"Yes, we will definitely save them!"

After hearing the origins of the imposter, Daigo said with absolute certainty.

This imposter isn't simply imitating the original Ultraman; it's imitating the original Ultraman, the hero who supported them in their fight to the very end, after absorbing the astronauts of Jeep 3.

This is a blatant trampling on the dignity of the original Ultraman and humanity.

Such an arrogant monster cannot be allowed to live for even a second longer!

"I have collected the information on the three astronauts, and I will pass it on to you now."

"Okay, let's try to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. I'll transform and fight alongside you after I finish sending the message to the monster."

The true despair that the Kirieloids had warned of had not yet arrived, and Takahashi was preparing to play it safe.

Daigo transforms and goes first. He uses information about the astronauts' families to motivate them from the start, then finds a way to rescue the three astronauts and eliminate them in one fell swoop.

They didn't give Ligadron a chance to absorb high-purity energy for enhancement at all.

The Rigdron that has appeared so far is even in the form of the original Ultraman, which is a major advantage for them.

This shows that the three astronauts are more determined and have a greater chance of the operation succeeding.

After ending the call, Takahashi got up, packed his things, and headed to Kashima.

There is a high-purity energy storage base of the Space Development Agency there, and its DCS defense system was developed under the leadership of Dr. Jiang Qi.

If Ligadron were to come to Earth, that would be its first choice.

To send a message to a monster, you must be right next to it; long-distance transmission won't work.

……

"What is the predicted location where the original Ultraman will descend?"

When Daigo returned after his walk, he heard Captain Megumi asking a question.

Nozue and Horii were doing calculations on the side.

"Given the current situation, it may land near Kashima Beach."

Daigo, holding the answer key, immediately gave the correct answer.

"Hmm... according to our calculations, that's correct."

A few seconds after Daigo answered, Nozue and Horii also calculated the result.

Surprisingly, it was exactly the same answer as Daigo's.

This made Horii look up and glance at Daigo in surprise.

He usually keeps a low profile, but I never expected Daigo's true strength to be so unfathomable.

Both he and Ye Rui needed computer assistance to calculate the orbit.

Daigo had just returned and actually figured out the answer with just one glance.

As expected, I'm just a slow learner. I only managed to get into the Victory Team because of good luck. I need to work twice as hard in the future.

With no one knowing, Horii internally lashed out at himself.

"We scanned the original Ultraman using remote sensing satellites and discovered that the heat source reaction inside its body was abnormal, unlike the data of all previous Ultraman."

When we tried to contact it through other means, we received a warning from Dr. Jiang Qi within its body, so the GUTS team needed to be dispatched to investigate the situation.

Because of Daigo's absenteeism, Megumi explained the mission background before the mission began, which strengthened Daigo's determination to fight.

She knew that Daigo had a high degree of trust in the original Ultraman.

In fact, she herself has a high degree of trust in the three Ultramen who have appeared so far.

But this time the situation was different. When things changed, Megumi Kijima did not allow the Victory Team players to appear on the field, causing unnecessary hesitation in their hearts.

"I won't be fooled by the imposter's disguise, Captain, don't worry."

Daigo immediately expressed his determination.

"Yes, Daigo and Shinjo, piloting Victory Flying Swallow Unit 1; Rena, piloting Victory Flying Swallow Unit 2, sortie!"

Kijima nodded in satisfaction and gave the order to deploy.

The two Victory Flying Swallows immediately flew towards Kashima.

Just as Takahashi and the Victory team were heading to Kashima.

Deep in space, Ligadron is facing some minor troubles.

A message, of unknown origin, entered its body.

"Ultraman, we have no intention of violating the regulations set by the Land of Light. This time, we are only carrying biological weapons that meet the standards. If Earth can defeat the three waves of attacks, we will abandon our hatred."

The original Ultraman, transformed from Ligadron, did not answer this question, but silently flew towards Earth.

But the three astronauts inside it were awakened by this news.

They had been briefly awakened by news from the GUTS team, which served as a warning to Earth.

Now, they are awakened again by news of this unknown civilization.

This time, they persisted for even longer.

They are gradually adapting to this unique situation, engaging in a tug-of-war with an emotionless monster.

"Who are you? What constitutes a standard biological weapon? And what is this so-called hatred?"

With the help of Ligadron's power, Dr. Ezaki briefly appeared on the shoulder of the original Ultraman through projection.

He looked out at the vast universe and asked a question.

"A human being who shares the same body as the original Ultraman? You are qualified to know the answer to that question. This story begins thirty million years ago..."

The unknown civilization was very patient and explained the whole story to Dr. Jiang Qi bit by bit, from beginning to end.

As it unfolded, Dr. Jiang Qi fell into deep thought.

After recounting the entire story, the unknown civilization fell silent, and Dr. Jiang Qi finally succumbed to the will of Ligadron and fell into a deep sleep.

This time, however, his expression was more resolute than before, as if he had made some crucial decision.
