Ultraman: Feed my daddy

"Where can I find even greater power?"

In the ionosphere, the caretaker drifts aimlessly, filled with melancholy.

It has been a long time since I left the other dimension.

When it left, it still thought about relying on itself to gain great power and go back to take revenge on Itabashi Mitsuo. It had lost its ambition and unfulfilled aspirations.

All that remained was a blank, dazed look in his eyes.

Following its previous experience, it first wandered in the sky, attempting to find a race similar to the Lightning People.

However, after wandering around for many days, he gained nothing.

After that, it traveled to TPC and other meteorite collections around the world, trying to find some more strange gadgets or cells, but to no avail.

Now, whenever it sees anything, its first instinct is to stare at it intently for a while to see if it's some kind of treasure; it's become somewhat obsessed.

"Fine, I'll go to the space observation center. If meteorites aren't falling from the sky, can't I just go find them in space myself?"

Another day of fruitless effort, and the breeder, unable to bear it any longer, decided to take the initiative.

Pick a meteorite that looks good, fly over to it, bring it to Earth, and see if there are any hidden treasures inside.

It can only be said that its last attempt to snag a bargain backfired badly.

Make it feel like it has good fortune, that if it wants something, something will fall from the sky.

Space Observation Center.

"Senior brother, look at the trajectory of this meteorite. According to my calculations, it will land in this area. There are several villages at the foot of the mountain. We should issue evacuation notices in advance."

A researcher approached the acting director and submitted his observations.

"Let me see. They won't be coming to Earth until next year. Notifying the public so early won't mean they'll move. Let's make a memo first, and when the time comes, let's give them a week's notice to evacuate."

Also, remember to use your job title when you're at work.

"I know, I know. I wonder when Dr. Jiang Qi will be back."

Even though we can no longer observe Jeep 3, the Space Development Agency says that Dr. Jiang Qi and his team have simply disappeared.

When asked for more details, they said it was confidential and they couldn't disclose it.

The researchers shook their heads and walked away.

The acting director watched him leave and could only sigh.

Dr. Jiang Qi, who traveled to Jupiter aboard Jeep 3 to conduct observations and serve as a pioneer for humanity, was the former director of their space observation center.

Many of the people here are his students, and they probably think that he, as the acting director, knows something, so they always inadvertently mention their relationship as fellow students and Dr. Jiang Qi.

Because of his identity, he does know more details about the inside story, but he signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot disclose them to the public.

This put him in a difficult position, as he had to deal with the teacher-student relationship and the fellow students' relationship, as well as the confidentiality agreement with the higher-level unit.

No matter what you do, it's wrong.

Putting these worries aside, he took over other tasks on behalf of the director.

Unbeknownst to the two, there was an uninvited guest who overheard their entire conversation.

"A meteorite heading towards a space observation center?"

With a few keywords combined, the breeder felt his treasure-hunting radar tremble.

As an extradimensional life form with some understanding of the cosmic situation, it felt that the meteorite was more likely to have come here on its own because it sensed human observation.

While it's not impossible that it was a coincidence, it's more convinced that it's incredibly lucky to have found two amazing treasures in one day.

Ordinary humans cannot detect the Kirieloid in its spiritual state, so it flew confidently to the director's side to observe the specific trajectory and direction of the meteorite.

After noting down its characteristics, the keeper excitedly flew into space, eager to see what was inside the meteorite.

……

"Has Dr. Mizuno's research yielded further results? That's a truly significant breakthrough."

Today is the day Daigo took the initiative to call and tell Takahashi the good news.

First, Dr. Mizuno's research has achieved a breakthrough.

The reason why the Lightning Man became the mutated Lightning Man, and then Gazort, was because he absorbed the electromagnetic waves frequently emitted by humans.

So if there were a way to make them emit excess electromagnetic waves from their bodies, wouldn't that allow them to remain unchanged?

This would normally be a very difficult problem to solve, as it is already quite challenging to get close enough to the lightning man and observe him.

Then, the Lightning Man needs to cooperate in conducting experiments before the problem can be solved.

However, this time the situation is different.

Lightning Man actively and proactively cooperated with their research, and even shared some of his experiences when he transformed into Gazort and used his electric powers.

This allowed the research to progress rapidly, and results were achieved in a short period of time.

The Lightning Man transmits all the electricity he generates to the Ebloon cells, which then perform physical work. Humans then convert this into electrical energy, creating a cycle.

This is just the most rudimentary model. If we could go a step further, we could let the Lightning Man directly boil water and then use the boiling water to do work.

Even if lightning-powered humans could directly connect their electricity to batteries or the power grid, then humanity would essentially have achieved unlimited energy ahead of schedule, without needing to wait for nuclear fusion.

Oh, so the Megatron propulsion system in Ultraman Tiga is actually a collision of protons and antiprotons, with the resulting photons doing work. It's an antimatter engine, so it's alright then.

Nuclear fusion is too primitive to be worthy of carrying the shoes of antimatter technology.

TPC doesn't lack the little bit of power generated by Lightning Man.

What truly pleased Daigo and Takahashi was that this would prevent countless future attacks on humanity by Gazorts.

Humans can now coexist peacefully with the Lightning People and live together on Earth.

"Oh, I was so busy talking about Lightning Man that I couldn't help but notice the vampire thing you asked me to investigate. Team member Nori has found several suspicious cases, and we should be able to narrow it down in a while."

After telling Takahashi about Lightning Man, Daigo gave him some good news.

This was a place Takahashi had thought of where he could farm points. With so many vampires, if he could farm a wave of points, he would make a fortune.

Furthermore, Takahashi conceived a heretical idea.

He could try breeding vampires, turning other animals into vampires and then killing them to see if he could obtain star power.

If possible, he could become rich overnight and reliably rely on vampire transformations to become Ultraman Tiga, even if it's at the C++ level, it would be good enough to fool Masaki Keigo.

This is on par with Taro's fighting power during the TV series.

It consumes only one Star Power at a time, making it extremely cost-effective.

Even if the vampires transformed from animals can't score points, there's not much cost involved. He just needs to offer a suggestion and have Daigo mention it.

The specific breeding operations were left to TPC.

Vampires have a variety of values ​​as research material.

Takahashi envisions the future.

On Black Star.

Two red dots lit up, and then a bright red teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll-shaped doll) gradually revealed itself.

Upon receiving the order, it transformed into a streak of blood-red light and flew towards Earth.

Behind it, four more spaceships followed in the distance, also heading towards Earth.
