Ultraman: Matching you with an equally matched daddy

"Is this human... is he really human?"

It was another quiet night.

After finishing his odd jobs and returning home, Takahashi first trained his physical fitness, then did combat training, and finally picked up a cutting-edge scientific theory magazine to read.

Ultraman Seven is truly amazing.

After arriving on Earth, he did observe other humans.

But after seeing so many people, Takahashi is still the most self-disciplined and hardworking one.

They worked so hard they were almost inhuman.

If we had to make a comparison, Seven thinks that many Ultramen from the Land of Light would be outshone by Takahashi's drive.

But they are a super-evolved superhuman race.

They have no need to eat or drink, nor do they need to rest. They have abundant resources and an inexhaustible supply of energy.

It's simply unbelievable that an ordinary human being could achieve something like this.

"Perhaps... his ability to transform into Ultraman is due to his hard work and dedication..."

The thought had only been halfway through when Seven cut it off.

No matter how hard we try, can humanity evolve directly into light?

There are many things in this world that you just can't do no matter how hard you try.

He was simply too shocked to think that this somewhat absurd idea came to him.

Composing himself, Ultraman Seven quietly resumed watching.

It was a thin magazine, but it was easy to read, and Takahashi finished it in no time.

"At 11:50, Daigo should have just finished his patrol."

After glancing at the time, Takahashi called Daigo.

According to his inquiries, Horii's mentor, Dr. Mizuno, has not yet formed an investigation team.

With Sphia causing trouble again in this world, who knows, maybe all the lightning people in the sky have already been eaten by Sphia.

However, it's always good to plan ahead.

Since I already know the plot, I might as well give a heads-up. Even if nothing happens, there's no loss.

"Hey, Daigo."

"Senior, there's been a result regarding the matter you asked me to keep an eye on. Headquarters is currently preparing to form an investigation team, with Dr. Mizuno at the core, to investigate the anomaly in the cloud formation. Horii is also on the team."

Without Takahashi having to ask, Daigo had already given him the information he had received.

"Do you remember the Lightning Man I mentioned to you before?"

"I remember, it was because humans frequently emitted electromagnetic waves that they mutated, right?"

"I see. Now that the cloud formation has changed, it's likely that Lightning Man has also mutated into a monster. This investigation team is going to be in great danger."

"I understand. I will find a way to go with them to protect them."

Daigo agreed without hesitation.

"Then it's up to you."

After finishing their business, the two exchanged some more information before hanging up.

Based on his performance in the original work and his battle with Tiga, Gazort 1 is probably only at the B- or even B- level. Takahashi is too lazy to pick up such trash, so he might as well leave it to Daigo.

After the previous battle with the Magma aliens, Takahashi gained another 10.5 Star Power, bringing his total to 32.5 Star Power. He doesn't really need to worry about these small gains.

"Is he a prophet, or does he have some other superpower?"

Having done everything he could and should do, Takahashi peacefully drifted off to sleep.

Having witnessed all of this, Seven fell into deep thought once again.

With his eyesight, he naturally saw the scene of the lightning beings in the ionosphere devouring each other.

Not only that, he even saw the Kirieloid who was now secretly infiltrating the Space Development Agency to steal Ebron cells.

They also knew the whole story of how this Kirieloid chased Sphia into the ionosphere and encountered the mutated lightning man.

He saw all of this.

But as Ultraman, it's understandable that he could detect these movements from the sky with his X-ray vision and super hearing.

After observing for a period of time, Takahashi found that his vision, hearing, and all other senses and physical abilities were all within the human range.

How did he know all this?

Before the Lightning Man underwent its mutation, he had already told Daigo that there was a race in the sky called the Lightning Man, and that they might mutate and turn into monsters.

TPC may therefore form a professional investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation into the anomalies in the sky.

He asked Daigo to be extra careful and to inform him immediately if he heard any similar news.

Everything that happened afterward actually happened exactly as he had predicted.

This is not something an ordinary person could do. Even if he already knew about the monster, what made him so certain that the monster would appear soon?

It's more like this was foreseen in advance.

And coincidentally, there are some people among humans with superpowers, some of whom can even foresee the future.

Seven knew this, and he knew even more that it was because Earth had collected the light of the ancient giants and passed it down in the form of genes.

When certain individuals encounter stimuli, they may awaken superpowers inherited from their genes.

These optogenetic factors may even contain some ancient memories.

It allows people to see Gatanothor, the evil god who destroys everything and brings all things to annihilation, in their dreams.

"So, did you already foresee my arrival?"

Seven murmured.

If Takahashi is a precognitive, then he shouldn't have been unable to see Ultraman Seven's arrival.

He has even transformed into Ultraman Seven.

They fought with incredible skill.

Therefore, this possibility is not small, but rather very high.

This also explains his knowledge of Ultraman and monsters.

Because he already knew about these things from the future, and may have even witnessed some of the scenes where he defeated the monsters.

"Now that you knew I was coming, isn't your current behavior a disguise, a deliberate attempt to deceive and mislead me?"

Seven didn't know if the truth was as he had guessed.

Ultraman is, after all, just a superman, not a god.

He's already been fooled once, so it's not impossible for him to be fooled a second time.

"So why are you deliberately putting on this act, revealing your identity as a precognitive being in front of me? What are you trying to achieve?"

One mystery after another emerged, filling Seven's mind.

This inexplicably stirred up a sense of annoyance within him.

That anger, which had been rising since the first time I learned I had been deceived, was now reignited.

It burned in Seven's heart.

Seven is known for his calmness, rationality, and strategic combat skills. He is adept at finding his opponents' weaknesses and defeating them, and his combat intelligence ranks among the top in the Ultra Brothers.

However, they were completely outmaneuvered by a group of invaders.

This can absolutely be called the greatest disgrace of Seven's life.

A sincere and passionate heart was repeatedly trampled and crushed.

The oppression and pain of that moment.

Even after so many years, Seven still can't get over it.

Seven, rarely swayed by his emotions, looked down at the Kirieloid who had successfully stolen the Ebron cells, and his fingers suddenly twitched slightly.

As the Kirieloid walked away with the Ebron cells he had stolen, he suddenly felt a longing emanating from the Ebron cells in his hand.

Following this desire, he turned left and right at the Space Development Bureau and found a meteorite in an ordinary exhibition hall where ordinary meteorites were displayed.

Inside the meteorite were some yellow and black skin fragments, which sparked with electricity when the Eblon cells approached.
