Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

"Hey~~" I looked pitifully at the communicator screen, which made Atsuko on the other end very strange.

What happened? Were you bullied?

"An unidentified flying object has intruded into the GUARD European surveillance network. Please return immediately."

"Oh, I understand."

I relaxed for a moment, then realized something was wrong and nodded vigorously.

After the communication was shut down, monster expert Xia Yu spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Be careful." His serious expression made Meng panic.

"If I remember correctly, this time it's the metallic lifeform Apate."

"It is a special life form, its body is made of liquid metal and it can change shape at will. Simply put, it is metal that has become sentient."

Xia Yu took out paper and pen and began to verbally recite the answers from memory, trying his best to provide the answers before the exam.

How much you can remember depends on your own ability.

Apate is very strong.

His ability to move freely through fluids allows him to make on-the-spot adjustments based on the situation in battle.

For example, enhancing defense, agility, or pure strength.

There are also weapons that can be changed at will, catching opponents off guard and causing them trouble.

In addition to its excellent defensive capabilities, it also possesses flexibility, and its outstanding stats rendered Gaia's Quantum Stream ineffective.

I listened very attentively in my dream, and occasionally even interrupted to ask questions.

Xia Yu patiently shared some of his ideas with Wo Meng, enabling him to quickly develop a strategy to deal with Apatee.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and I was urged on by XIG so much that I had to leave reluctantly.

Good luck.

Xia Yu appeared quite relaxed. What he didn't say was that even if Gaia failed, Agul, as the sixth brother, would step in to save the day.

His figure, appearing and disappearing amidst the thick smoke and dust, saved Gaia from the greatest danger. Xia Yu was immediately awestruck at first glance.

Divine B-Gramman.

You seem to really know everything, as if you've witnessed it all firsthand.

Is it possible that you were transported from the future to the present by a monster with expertise in time travel, which is why you know so much?

Torregia couldn't help but voice his speculation while observing Xia Yu's expression.

He was disappointed; Xia Yu looked like he wanted to laugh.

"Guess."

Those three words made Toregia angry again.

It's a pity I feel stifled.

I really want to rip his skull out and stuff a Cerebro inside.

I'll just think about it.

Xia Yu was about to drive back to Chengnan University when he was attracted by a large screen on the roadside.

A familiar face appeared on it.

"A giant creature appeared, and where did Ultraman come from?" Reiko was doing a live stream on KCB.

The consecutive appearances of two monsters and Ultraman have raised public awareness of such events to an unprecedented level, and those in the news industry naturally wouldn't miss out on such a topic.

Many people on the street stopped to watch, occasionally whispering among themselves.

"Reiko is indeed a very beautiful lady," Xia Yu remarked.

Fujimiya's later life was quite tragic, but his only good fortune was winning Reiko's favor, who remained devoted to him.

Torregia immediately spoke up, "Do you like it? I'll help you."

Xia Yu rolled his eyes. "Big brother, are you ever going to stop?"

"Um?"

He inadvertently caught sight of a man in black, and his pupils contracted.

In the blink of an eye, the man disappeared.

"It can't be wrong."

"That's Fujimiya Hiroya."

Although he knew the chances of success were slim, Xia Yu still wanted to try to salvage the situation from the very beginning.

Misled by Chrisis, Fujimiya and Gamu were never enemies.

Meanwhile, I quickly returned to the air base.

Without a moment to catch his breath, he quickly set off with the Peace.

The new fighter jets were quite fast and encountered an uninvited guest that had broken through the defense network in the Middle Eastern desert region.

"Target detected, data uploaded."

I stared intently at the screen, and soon my tense brows relaxed.

"Characteristics of liquid metallization".

"Its transformation into human form is related to the news wave it received about Ultraman; it came to challenge Gaia."

"That's exactly what Xia Yu said!"

He was quite excited.

The worst fear was that the enemy was unknown, but now the information has been confirmed, which is equivalent to dissecting Apate remotely.

"Kajio, don't push yourself, come back quickly."

The clash between the Lightning team and Apatee has ended. The two new fighter jets crashed one after the other, with only Captain Kajio escaping unscathed.

The standoff has reached a stalemate, and Apatee could advance unimpeded into Tokyo, which is something XIG does not want to see.

I quietly left my seat and opened the belly of the Peace.

Below is all desert, a uniform yellowish-brown color with absolutely no aesthetic appeal.

I took a deep breath, and Xia Yu's face flashed through my mind.

"It definitely can."

He suddenly opened his eyes wide in anger and began to fall freely.

A beam of light descends from the sky; if you fall to your death, that's a new story.

"It's Gaia!" Atsuko exclaimed with delight.

Shi Shi's tense expression seemed to soften a little.

"Ultraman Gaia, how did he end up here?" Advisor Chiba asked in surprise.

Apate was delighted; her challenger had come to her of his own accord.

After a brief period of probing, the battle intensified.

Gaia's strength clearly gave her an advantage, and she repeatedly knocked Apate down with kicks, punches, and slams.

But the situation changed rapidly.

Apatee changed her form to compensate for her disadvantages.

It now has armor on its shoulders and battle skirt armor on its sides.

Not only has its weight increased, but its defensive capabilities have also improved.

Gaia remained calm and unsurprised, because this was all something Xia Yu had said.

In the second round, he found himself at a disadvantage.

Its enhanced defense and armor made it almost immune to Gaia's physical attacks. As a result, Gaia was forced to defend and had to launch more and more attacks.

"The Peace will provide support," Ishimuro decisively ordered.

The crimson laser cannon spewed flames, briefly interrupting Apate's attack and giving Gaia a chance to catch her breath.

But anyone with eyes can see that this won't work.

Apatee seemed to be getting impatient.

Its body began to dissolve, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into javelins that flew into the air.

"The liquid is changing, what is it trying to do?" The director of the forward command post had a bad feeling.

Swish swish.

The javelins landed precisely around Gaia, trapping him in place.

Immediately afterwards, crackling blue electricity shot out from the javelin, clearly indicating that Apate was about to launch a fatal blow!

Just then, Gaia's body suddenly emitted a red light, and the javelins around him instantly emitted thick white smoke, stiffening and collapsing in the desert.

Gaia seemed to have anticipated this scene and quickly retreated to create distance.

And when the javelin re-emerged and merged into a ball, but before it could fully solidify into a human form, it decisively covered its head.

Intense light energy shot out from the crystal on his forehead and completely entered the still writhing liquid metal sphere.

Crack! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Apate liquid metal sphere was blown to pieces, beyond any hope of survival.

It probably won't understand until its death why it suddenly lost.

When Xia Yu formulated the plan, he thought that Apatee's defense was weakest when it was changing, and it worked.

"We won." Director Di wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled.

The XIG members were immersed in joy, except for Shi Shi, who slightly narrowed his eyes.

Something seems off.

Why does it feel like every step Apate takes is exactly what Gaia predicted?

First, he used that flash to control Apate's javelin, forcing him to fuse and then launch a sneak attack without any martial ethics when they fought again.

Uh, it must be my imagination. Maybe it's because Gaia has a particularly strong fighting spirit.

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, a man looked at the sapphire bracelet and slowly lowered his hand.

"Gaia, that's pretty strong."
