Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Chapter 97 Opening My Eyes, the Sky Has Collapsed

"Where is this?"

Xia Yu slowly awoke, looking around blankly, not knowing how much time had passed.

There was nothing but darkness.

Memories gradually return: Zog, the Sphia chimera, and of course, Tregear.

"Gaia, Agul!"

He sat up abruptly, regaining full consciousness.

"I'm not dead?" He tried to raise his arm, but although his brain issued the command, no corresponding action occurred.

He found that he couldn't even bow his head.

Well, I'd rather be dead.

He is now unsure whether his body is still intact.

Logically speaking, there should have been no remains of the body.

"Shouldn't Zog, Sphia, and Old To have been dealt with by now?"

"I hope everything's alright in their world by now, right?"

"By the way, Tregear, if you're not dead, show your face."

No one responded.

That shouldn't be the case. If I'm still alive, there's even less chance that Torregia is alright.

Is he probably playing dead to spy?

"Speaking of which, why am I still alive?"

Xia Yu discovered that there seemed to be many mysteries surrounding him.

As Old Tor mentioned, why did the three completely damaged monster rings come back to life and seem to only listen to him?

Furthermore, he seemed to have the upper hand in his battle with Old Tor.

The first time, they strangled Old Torres; the second time, they blew him up.

From Ultraman's perspective, an ordinary human being simply cannot do this.

Reonics's reasoning is completely invalid.

This time, the Soul Burst Burned and he still survived.

Am I even human?

Xia Yu couldn't help but think.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if Hel, Gala, and Duck ever miss me."

"I do think about it a little." He reminisced about the past alone in the darkness.

He seemed to have gotten used to having monsters around him.

Hel had been away with Dr. Inamori for a while, and usually loved to snuggle into his arms.

Sometimes, the sharp blade feels quite pleasant as it slices across your chest.

Gala likes to stay on Xia Yu's shoulder, especially when Xia Yu is sleeping. The little white dragon likes to snuggle against Xia Yu's face.

The ducks didn't like to stay on any part of Xia Yu's body; he preferred to go hunting with a stick.

Sometimes, I'd get some wild game and have Xia Yu cook a nice meal for me.

Forget it, I can't think about it anymore, I feel more and more like crying.

Unfortunately, even the simple act of wiping away tears cannot be accomplished.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Yu could no longer bear the loneliness and tried to shout.

The sound was successfully transmitted, but there was no response.

Xia Yu's mind raced with wild thoughts. Was he actually in hell, being punished?

Does Avici Hell include this category?

Just when he felt he was about to become depressed, the darkness finally began to change.

A tiny bright spot stood out so conspicuously in the darkness.

Then it slowly grew larger.

With hope in his eyes, Xia Yu stared intently at the point of light until the distance between him and the light gradually decreased until he disappeared into it.

Consciousness once again sank into chaos.

But this time he quickly regained his senses.

I was startled the moment I opened my eyes.

At such close range, almost face to face, an ugly fish head was looming right in front of him, seemingly curiously sizing him up.

Without thinking, Xia Yu slapped Yu Tou across the face. Yu Tou screamed and flew out, unable to get up for a long time.

"Nagords, what are you doing?"

A dignified voice rang out from the front, and Xia Yu subconsciously looked up and was startled.

Its head resembles that of an ape, with a yellow, glowing mouth and narrow, blue eyes; it exudes an aura of cunning.

Mefras aliens!

Xia Yu instantly recognized the alien in front of him.

A classic race, strong and intelligent, they have caused the Ultra race a lot of trouble.

The other fish-headed monster is also a classic member of this race.

The Metron aliens, who once gave Ace a hard time, were also quite intelligent.

So here's the question: having barely survived, are they planning to continue to drive him to his death?

The two men clearly had ill intentions; did they want him to use his human body to eliminate them?

Xia Yu remained fearless!

"Nagords, do you really need to get this angry?"

Fish Head came closer from the ground, and seemed to have a pretty good temper.

"Isn't it just asking you to go out and gather some intelligence? If you really don't want to go, then let me do it."

"Oh dear, your fists are hardening. Looks like you don't really like this mission."

"Lord Nostra, shall I take on the task?"

Xia Yu was completely bewildered, and then a not-so-good idea came to him.

Nagos, could it be me?

Two aliens... could I be one of them...?

He nervously looked down at his body, and for a moment felt like the sky was about to fall.

Why are there so many big red cherries growing on my body?

What's the deal with the white and dense fluff?

This foot, isn't that wrong?

"Nagoth, are you really going to refuse my mission?"

The voice of the Mefras alien rang out again, clearly tinged with displeasure.

Xia Yu quickly realized what was happening and spoke for the first time.

"No, since it is Lord Noster's request, I will do my best to fulfill it."

"Hmm." Nostra nodded in satisfaction and disappeared from her seat in the blink of an eye.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Fish Head Tardi asked, leaning closer.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

"Huh?" The fish head's eyes seemed a little strange, which startled Xia Yu.

Did I say something wrong?

"Nags, this is the first time I've heard you say thank you."

"Uh, hehehe." Xia Yu could only manage a dry laugh.

"It's a good thing, though. Earthlings tend to be quite polite in their interactions."

"To gather intelligence, you must delve into the lives of people on Earth."

Tardi patted Xia Yu on the shoulder and left.

Seeing that they had all left, Xia Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know why I'm still alive, I hope I don't die at the start of the game.

However, this body...

There happened to be a full-length mirror in the hall, and he shakily crawled over to it.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, his body covered in red cherries, Xia Yu almost fainted.

I, I'm a human being.

Why did they become Alien Nackle?

Is this the price of survival?

Fortunately, Xia Yu was no ordinary human being, and he accepted the fact after only ten seconds.

In fact, the bodies of extraterrestrials are much stronger than those of humans.

He punched a hole in the wall and chuckled to himself.

"Are you prepared to destroy our spaceship?"

"Go gather intelligence immediately!"

Nostra's voice carried a hint of annoyance.

Enveloped in a beam of teleportation light, Xia Yu was forcibly kicked out of the spaceship.

The familiar and warm sunlight fell on him, making Xia Yu unable to resist letting out a wild roar to the sky.

This is the kind of life a human being should live!

It was all so dark before; even if someone survived, they would die of depression!

A gentle breeze caressed my cheeks, making me feel so comfortable that even my cherries seemed to swell up.

The fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds made Xia Yu cherish this rebirth immensely.

Even though they are Nackle aliens.

"After thinking it over, I guess it's because the body is completely destroyed, but how can someone live when their soul is burning?"

"Wait, did Torregia use life-solidification technology on me?"

Although he has turned to the dark side, Tregear must know about Hikari's life-solidification technology.

This seems to be the only explanation.

In retrospect, when Torregia called out his own name at the end, it seemed to contain a mix of emotions.

This guy definitely doesn't want to die; he hasn't gotten his revenge yet.

Oh well, whatever, I'll just make the best of it.

After calling out to Tregear several times without getting a response, Xia Yu began to familiarize himself with his body.

The first question is whether the ugly appearance of the Nackle aliens can be changed.

The answer is yes!

It seems that aliens generally have the ability to mimic, otherwise Nostra wouldn't have sent him out.

Xia Yu decisively reshaped the character's face.

It took me more than an hour to restore myself to my original appearance while facing the water.

Of course, the slight improvements are negligible.

This raises the bar for appearance from perfect to a level that surpasses human limits.

Besides the most important aspect of appearance, the analysis of combat ability is of course the most important.

After several tests, he confirmed that his physical body far surpassed that of humans at that time.

Its strength, speed, and resilience are all unbelievable.

For this reason, we'll tolerate the fact that the Nackle aliens are human for the time being.

But I can't help it, what else can I do?

"Never mind, at least I still have his stunning good looks to admire." He started toying with his bangs, which were being blown by the wind, in front of the water, exuding an air of unparalleled flirtatiousness.

He faintly heard a familiar cold snort.

"Old Torres!?"

It was very quiet around me; that sound just now must have been an illusion.

Xia Yu no longer hesitated and tried to immerse his consciousness into his own mental sea.

The empty seawater looked normal, and some broken light particles could be seen.

These are the remnants of the seal that Gaia and Agul helped create back then; this is all that's left.

Following the principle of not wasting anything, Xia Yu collected all the light particles and rolled them into a sphere.

A small sun appeared in the sky above his mental sea.

Although the quantity is small, the quality is quite high.

The key is that they are obedient.

Xia Yu tried several times and was even able to shoot the ball of light particles out as a beam of light.

It's like having an extra lifeline.

"The Mefras aliens, the Metron aliens, and the Nackle aliens—this trio looks so familiar."

"Uh, I can't quite remember right now."

"And what was Nostra's mission? What kind of intelligence were you tasked with gathering?"

"Wait a minute, why should I listen to him? Now that I've run away, who can control me?"

A change of perspective brought sudden clarity.

Xia Yu was in a good mood, humming a little tune as he strode towards the city with an air of nonchalance.

But he had only taken a few steps when a tornado swept him into the sky and then threw him down.
