Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

The sacred domain of the Changxi clan, the dwelling place of the fox spirit clan, in a dimension inaccessible to humans, is being watched by some beings.

People call them fox spirits.

They have lived for a very, very long time.

So long ago, I can't remember exactly how many years, I only remember that in the beginning, they were just ordinary foxes.

Then, humans came.

Those two-legged creatures, as fragile as reeds in the wind, possess behaviors and powers that are incomprehensible to them. They offer sacrifices, pray, place food on stones, and call them "Fox Spirit Master" in devout voices.

They began to accept the offerings and respond to the prayers.

They began to have names, divine positions, and their own shrines.

Humans need them, just as they need humans.

The entanglement between humans and gods, the cycle of faith and protection, transformed ordinary foxes into deities... No, were the foxes that became deities truly ordinary in the beginning?

They watched as humans grew from villages into towns, and from towns into metropolises.

Watching them build taller buildings and faster cars—and then watching them gradually forget those ancient ties.

Faith is waning, and offerings are decreasing.

Those who once prayed devoutly are now more willing to believe in money, power, and technology than in the gods of the mountains and fields.

But they still need power. So how can they maintain their power in a world where faith is declining?

That's right, it was those women who became connected with it and with its Changxi family.

Those women's blood must be loved by heaven, earth, and stars. If we obtain the blood and soul of such women, our clan will surely prosper even more.

Choosing appropriate offerings is also the responsibility of the head of the household.

Those mortals who become fox brides—it will grant them protection and ensure the prosperity of their families.

In exchange, their faith, their vitality, and the bond they forge with it will become the resources for its continued existence.

Fair trade.

Equivalent exchange.

They never think they've done anything wrong.

Don't humans also engage in trade? Exchanging money for food, labor for wages, and faith for protection—what's the difference?

They are simply more powerful and more ancient than humans.

That's it.

And now-

They gazed at the main hall where the silver giant had broken in.

Those humans were trembling.

Those humans who had obtained the power of the fox spirit clan were now trembling like frightened ants.

They once boasted about the methods of the Chang family and touted human wisdom and power in front of them.

But when the real power arrived, all they were left with was fear.

How ridiculous! How pathetic!

Their gazes turned to the silver giant.

Light! Pure light!

The light made them instinctively uncomfortable, not because of hostility, but because the source of the light was completely different from the foundation of their existence.

That is not a god worshipped by humans, but the light of humanity, the light that shines from human beliefs, and it has a similar yet completely different nature to the one that steals human faith.

"Ultraman Seven..."

The fox spirit murmured to itself, its voice echoing throughout its dimension, unheard by any human.

Giant of Light, guardian of humanity, hero of mankind.

They had heard of this name, in the prayers of those humans, in the whispers of those believers.

However, they never cared; it was just a fantasy product born from tokusatsu dramas. If that fantasy product hadn't been standing right under their noses, they wouldn't have even remembered having such a concept.

How ridiculous!

It was clearly something that seemed like a child's joke, but the light, the oppressive aura, and those eyes all told it one thing.

This is not something that can be easily dismissed.

That life that loves humanity, that so-called justice, that so-called guardian, cannot be dismissed with just a few words.

Between beings who transcend human intelligence, only power can facilitate communication!

The fox spirit's gaze fell upon Toki Hisayuki.

A seven-tailed red fox narrowed its eyes, its will beginning to sink.

It slowly descended from the dimension it resided in onto Tokihisa's body.

boom--!!!

A crimson light suddenly erupted from Toki Hisashi's body!

The light was intense and malevolent, carrying an ancient and savage power that swept across the entire main hall.

The entire main hall, the entire shrine, the entire mountain—all vanished in that crimson light.

Instead, a completely different world has emerged.

Deepwater Hina lowered her head.

There was a body of water beneath my feet.

The water was as calm as a mirror, shimmering with a dim light. Her silver feet stepped on it, but did not stir up a single ripple.

Looking up and around, all I could see was endless darkness.

There was no sky, no earth, no mountains, no palace. Only this lake, its origin unknown, and this darkness, its destination unknown.

In the darkness, something is taking shape.

The crimson light gradually subsided, coalesced, and transformed into a massive outline.

It stood on the opposite lake, facing the silver giant from afar.

It was a fox.

A fox covered in fiery red fur.

It was over ten meters tall, and although not as tall as the Giant of Light, it was still a colossal creature.

Seven thick tails swayed slowly behind it, each covered with dense red fur and tipped with a strand of gold, like burning flames flickering in the darkness. A filthy ribbon encircled its body and floated in mid-air, a symbol of a deity.

The beast's fiery vertical pupils were now fixed on the silver giant opposite it.

Hinako Fukami stared at the fox's face, her expression turning serious.

The traces of Tokihisa were no longer visible on that face; only the ferocity of a wild beast and the majesty of a god remained.

A divine intervention? Or something else entirely?

Hinako Fukami was unaware of the situation, so she directly questioned her.

"What are you? A fox spirit? Susuke?"

"I am just a man who fell in love with you that day, wanted to marry you, and vowed to make you happy."

The seven-tailed red fox walked slowly in front of the silver giant and answered in a rough, hoarse voice.

"Hinako! I will possess you!"

Gazing at the silver giant, the Seven-Tailed Red Fox spoke her will to Hinako Fukami in a firm yet obsessive tone.

"...Juyuki? Are you Juyuki or a fox spirit?"

Faced with these words, Hinako Fukami was somewhat at a loss for words.

Tokiyuki? The man in human form is undoubtedly Tokiyuki, but is the seven-tailed red fox before him really Tokiyuki?

"I am a fox spirit, and also Toshiyuki. I was also someone who formed a bond with you when you were young. There is no need to doubt my love for you, Hinako."

The seven-tailed red fox spoke to Hinako Fukami in a deep voice.

The human named Tokiyuki is him, and he is also one of the fox spirits worshipped by the Toki clan. He is also the little fox that Fukami Hinako helped when she was young.

However, as a fox spirit, it can only function normally in human society by attaching its spirit to a human body, and only in this spiritual realm can it exert its true power.
