Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

"The giant plankton is currently not moving."

"The phenomenon of urban desertification has now temporarily stopped."

"However, Guard has not yet announced any specific countermeasures."

"This is Reiko Yoshii reporting live from KCB."

Xia Yu rushed out of the house, got into the car, and after the navigation confirmed the location, he sped off, the accelerator practically welded to his foot.

"The classic clan has arrived." His enthusiastic expression made Toregia roll his eyes.

[You seem to know again?]

"Don't you know?" Xia Yu asked back.

There are many wondrous races in the universe, and it's difficult to judge them based on just a few images.

"So you didn't know?"

Torregia really wanted to run out and tie Xia Yu's mouth shut.

"Time is life, please help me call my dream."

Xia Yu was driving and it was inconvenient for him to free his hands.

【? 】

"Are you talking to me?" Torregia looked at Xia Yu blankly.

Where would I find the hands to make the call for you?

Wait a minute, even if I have hands, why should I make a call for you?

"waste."

After cursing, Xia Yu could only use one hand on the Ferrari and blindly type the numbers with his left.

"I dreamt that I learned about the desertification of cities."

"Don't let Team Lightning attack; it's ineffective."

"Mezard can hide in different dimensional dimensions; what you see with the naked eye is not its true form!"

I stared in astonishment at the blurred jellyfish on the screen, as some of my doubts began to unravel.

"Could it be a hyperspace life form?"

"This explains why buildings suddenly turn into deserts. It's because Mezad disrupted the molecular structure of objects by overlapping with the real world, but we couldn't see it with the naked eye."

if it is like this.

I dreamt that a solution was found.

He explained his ideas, but to his surprise, Staff Officer Chiba objected.

"Team Lightning can't attack the monster itself? How will you know if you don't try?"

"Besides, this is just your own deduction, without even basic data to support it." Deep down, Chiba felt some resistance towards my dream.

They're just university students; how can they interfere with frontline battle plans?

After thinking for a moment, Ishimuro tacitly agreed with what Advisor Chiba had said.

"Team Lightning should probe first."

Kajio, without hesitation, piloted the Fighter SS into the attack trajectory.

The heated missile easily passed through Mezad's phantom image.

Sure enough, what I dreamed about was true!

Chiba remained silent, while Ishimuro said, "I dream, what is your plan?"

"Ah, we just need to lure it into the real world," Imu explained. "We just need to interfere with the resistance waves it emits and shrink its existence to a single point."

He simulated the scene on the computer.

"Is it possible to do this in the real world?" Ishimuro asked.

I smiled confidently, "I've already asked my friends to make the preparations."

"Alright, the operation is scheduled for three hours from now."

After the meeting, everyone had different feelings.

Compared to my confidence in the project, both Chiba and Kajio remained skeptical.

Was that jellyfish really a wave-like life form, as my dream described?

Could it be for other reasons?

At the scene, the evacuation work is being carried out in a tense but orderly manner.

However, because the incident happened so suddenly, and because it occurred in the center of the city, a large number of people were affected.

Xia Yu could only drive to the outer perimeter, and then entered the restricted area on foot.

A large number of soldiers guarded the route, and no one was allowed to pass except for some news media reporters.

"You're quite skilled."

Torregia was quite surprised that Xia Yu was able to get past the heavily guarded area.

"A temporary order will always have loopholes."

"There."

Xia Yu quickly saw the scene.

It was much worse than what was shown on television.

The once towering buildings have been replaced by desert and clods of earth, leaving no trace of human society.

Only on the outskirts of the desert did the streets gradually regain their human presence.

It's hard to imagine how destructive Mezad is without seeing it with your own eyes.

Xia Yu's expression turned serious, and he slowly clenched his fists.

Wealth and possessions are external matters; the key issue is that many lives have likely been lost.

The collapse of matter at the molecular level means that these dead people will not even leave behind their bodies.

This endless desert may well be the corpse of the entire city!

Xia Yu felt a chill run through him as he came to this conclusion, experiencing for the first time the cruelty of the Ultraman monster world.

Since you knew, why didn't you protect these people sooner? Don't you care about them a lot?

And you possess this ability too, I'm willing to lend it to you.

"Old Tor, you don't need to waste your time. The price behind using your power is not as simple as just a city," Xia Yu said coldly. "Between two evils, choose the lesser. All I can do is avenge them as much as possible."

[Heh, so you're just spouting righteous words while being quite selfish, aren't you?]

Toregia seemed excited. "What consequences might arise from using my power is merely your speculation; those people are truly dead."

In other words, those people died because of you.

Xia Yu chuckled and actually laughed. "Dude, are you kidding me? What era are we living in? You're still using that moral blackmail trick?"

"In my world, if you said that, you'd be subjected to online harassment and even have your picture uploaded to pornographic websites, you know that?"

【Moral blackmail?】Tregear chewed on these four words, and the familiar sense of bewilderment resurfaced.

Why does he always manage to come up with such strange and unusual words?

Thinking about it carefully, it's quite fitting.

"So this is the mastermind behind it all." Xia Yu looked up at the jellyfish floating in the sky.

The design is quite dreamy, giving off a harmless vibe, but it becomes incredibly ugly when it's turned into a monster.

Why is the monster staying there?

"I don't know. We don't even know why the monster appeared."

The familiar voice made Xia Yu turn his head, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Hey, it's you guys."

The three people not far away were Tian Duan, Lunwen, and Lingzi.

"Ah, it's you." The three of them weren't particularly happy.

After Tian Duan spoke last time, they all remained suspicious of Xia Yu's identity and motives.

I actually saw this guy at the Monsters event. Could he really be one of Guard's men?

"I suggest you leave here quickly, Mezad is about to make his move."

"Mezhad, is that the name of this monster?" Tabata keenly noticed the key information.

Xia Yu did not give a direct answer but urged them to leave.

"Lunwen, Lunwen, come here quickly." Lingzi interrupted their conversation, her tone urgent.

"Hey, can't you be a little more polite when you talk to me?" Lunwen was dragged over, panting.

"Who is it? Nobody is here."

"Strange." Reiko looked around. There was a man standing on the edge of the desertified city just now, but he's gone.

"Hey, where's that Guard guy? He's disappeared too."

Lingzi and Lunwen suddenly turned their heads.

Sure enough, Xia Yu, who was just talking, was also gone!

A chill ran down the spines of the three of them.

In broad daylight, is this some kind of ghost?
