Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

The test site for the artificial monster was chosen to be a beach not far from the TPC base.

The beaches in this area have also been closed off by the TPC under the pretext of technical experiments, prohibiting any ordinary citizens from approaching them.

TPC's logistics department is setting up tents for the mobile base.

Meanwhile, Shen Yun was debugging the equipment delivered by the TPC logistics department to achieve long-distance transmission of high-energy molecular fog.

After all, the principle behind artificial evolutionary monsters is to combine nanomechanicals sealed in capsules with high-energy molecular mist, and then transform them into the shape of monsters based on the data inside.

This high-energy molecular fog is naturally transmitted over long distances through technology.

"Kallen, activate the holographic projection." Shen Yun looked up at Karen, who was controlling the holographic projection, and said.

"Understood!" Karen nodded and immediately activated the holographic projection, projecting Golza's holographic image onto the beach.

"Hiss—" As soon as Golza's holographic image appeared, it waved its arms and shook its head, letting out a low roar.

This fierce-looking creature is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Golza's appearance caused a stir among the TPC logistics staff present.

However, they quickly realized that it was just an extremely realistic virtual projection.

The Victory Team members, who were walking over, also saw Golza standing on the shore.

"Is this a hologram? It looks so real." Horii exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the motionless Golza.

"It looks just like the real thing." Shinjo nodded.

"But what's the point of such a realistic projection?" Lina asked, puzzled.

Who knows?

The members of the Victory Team chatted as they arrived at the experimental site.

"Doctor." Kijima Megumi came to Shen Yun.

"You've arrived?" Shen Yun looked at the Victory Team members, smiled slightly, and said, "The experiment is about to begin. You can find a place to rest for a while."

This experiment itself was not particularly dangerous.

"I understand." Megumi nodded slightly, and then arranged for the GUTS team members to rest.

Before long, Shen Yun finished debugging the equipment, then removed Gakuma's monster capsule from the charging device and installed it on the matching device.

Then, Shen Yun pressed the trigger on the device towards Golza in the distance.

A beam of green light shot out from inside the monster capsule, transforming into rings of pale green light in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, a giant creature appeared on the beach, with four limbs on the ground, two sharp horns on its head, bright red spines on its back, and a body resembling a hedgehog.

"Hiss-roar—" As soon as Gakuma appeared, he let out a powerful roar.

"Is this a man-made monster? It's truly astonishing." Horii's eyes were filled with amazement.

This artificial Gakuma is exactly the same as the Gakuma β they had fought before.

"It's a pity they're just man-made monsters. If only humans could actually control real monsters," Shinjo lamented.

After the incident with the monster Sira, Shinjo's views on monsters changed somewhat.

"If that day ever comes, humans and monsters will be able to coexist peacefully, won't they?" Lina's eyes shone with hope.

"That day will come," Daigo said, looking at Rena with a smile.

Shen Yun looked at the materialized Gakuma and immediately turned to look at Karen.

Karen gave an OK sign, indicating that everything was normal.

Shen Yun nodded, then turned to look at Gakuma and ordered, "Gakuma, attack Golza in front."

Golza's holographic projection also let out a menacing roar at the opportune moment.

Such tests are mainly to determine whether the artificial monsters are belligerent, so as to avoid a situation like that of Miclas in the past.

After all, a monster like Gakuma, which has been able to live peacefully with humans for so many years and is even revered as a divine beast, is much more docile in nature than some ferocious monsters.

The Jakuma attacked humans only because their unrestrained mining of stones reduced their food supply, leaving them with no choice but to attack humans, turning them into stones and eating them.

If it is not tested with ferocious monsters, it is very likely that it will exhibit behavior similar to Miclas's desertion in the face of battle.

Upon receiving Shen Yun's command, Gakuma raised its body and roared. As its body landed, the beach trembled slightly, and its claws extended.

After rubbing his feet on the ground, Gakuma strode towards Golza.

Golza's holographic projection wasn't far from Jakuma. Jakuma hadn't run more than a few steps before he rushed in front of Golza's holographic projection and slapped it with his sharp claws, shattering it.

Shen Yun watched this scene, then turned to Karen and said, "Karen, switch to the holographic projection of Hilbargon."

"Understood!" Karen nodded and immediately projected the holographic image of Hilbargon onto the beach.

"Roar!" Hilbargon's holographic projection let out a low growl.

"Roar!" Hilbargon's holographic projection let out a low growl.

"Gakuma, continue the attack," Shen Yun said again.

"Roar—" Jakuma growled, its two upright horns drooping down to be level with its eyebrows.

Then, Gakuma charged straight at the holographic projection of Silvergon, smashing it to pieces by crashing it headfirst into it.

Seeing this, Shen Yun nodded slightly and ticked the test item in his hand.

Gakuma perfectly fits the requirements and is better than the cowardly Mikras.

"Next is the ability test." Shen Yun glanced at Gakuma and said, "Gakuma, use the petrification ray."

Upon hearing this, Gakuma immediately opened its mouth, and a beam of pale blue petrifying light shot out from its mouth, illuminating the beach.

Everything exposed to the petrifying light turned to stone, even the sand on the beach.

"Next, release the backlight."

"Hiss—" Gakuma roared, and the bright red spines on its back also lit up with red light, releasing a red destructive beam towards the sea in front of it.

The red, destructive rays struck the sea surface, causing it to explode and sending water splashes tens of meters high.

"Splash!"

Several tons of seawater crashed down, creating countless splashes.

"Not bad, it's qualified as an artificial evolved monster." Shen Yun was very satisfied with Gakuma's performance.

This performance is already much better than Miclas'.

After doing all this, the one-minute time limit was up, and Gakuma turned into pale green particles and disappeared.

Seeing that Gakuma had disappeared, Shen Yun also took the monster capsule, which had lost its emerald green color, off the launcher and put it back into the charging device to recharge.

Then, Shen Yun approached the GUTS team and said, "The initial testing of the artificial monster is complete. The next tests will be in the hands of the GUTS team. I will also select the users of the artificial monster during the testing."

"Selecting users? How do you select them?" Upon hearing this, Megumi Kijima couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Let's consider how well they match," Shen Yun replied after thinking for a moment.

"When will we start testing?" Lina asked impatiently.

"It takes an hour to fully charge the nanomachines," Shen Yun said.

"Charging for an hour, but only being able to fight for a minute?" Lina complained.

During the casual conversation, the one-hour charging time passed quickly.

Gakuma's monster capsules were fully charged again.

Shen Yun picked up the fully charged monster capsule, looked at the GUTS team members, and asked, "Who wants to go first?"

"I'll do it! I know monsters best!"

"Come on, let me do it!"

"Give me!"

"I want one too!"

After a brief moment of silence, Daigo, Shinjo, and the other four immediately began arguing and fighting over the right to use the device.

"They really are like little kids." Munakata didn't join in. Instead, he came to Megumi's side and watched Daigo, Shinjo, and the others chasing and playing around. He laughed.

"Yes." Megumi's face was also full of smiles.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

It was evening.

After a whole day of work, Shen Yun completed all the tests on the artificial monster and also selected the user of the artificial monster—Horui.

Although the artificial monsters, like the Ultraman Tiga armor, can be used by all team members, the main user is Horii.

"It's already evening. Does that mean our flower viewing trip is ruined?" Xincheng asked, looking at the crimson sunset.

"Enjoying flowers at night has its own unique charm," said Megumi Kijima with a smile.

"Great! I'm all for enjoying the flowers at night!" Lina raised her hand in agreement.

"That's good, and there are very few people at night, so it won't disturb other people." Horii nodded in agreement.

"So it's decided then?" Megumi looked at the GUTS team members, winked, and smiled.

"Doctor, Karen, please come along too." Megumi Kijima didn't forget to invite Shen Yun and Karen.

"Great, I've already finished all my work." Shen Yun agreed with a smile.

"Everyone, go back and change your clothes. Let's meet at the park in area X," said Megumi Iruma, clapping her hands with a smile.

"Yes!" The members of the Victory Team responded in unison with beaming smiles.

"Daigo, I'll leave things here to you." Shen Yun patted Daigo on the shoulder and smiled.

"Yes~" Daigo said weakly.

After changing into casual clothes, everyone gathered in front of a park in area X.

By the time everyone arrived in area X, it was already completely dark.

Perhaps because it was already evening, there was almost no one else in the park.

A gentle night breeze blew by.

The light pink cherry blossoms swayed and undulated in the breeze, and some petals were blown down, forming a rain of petals.

The originally bright and vibrant cherry blossom rain, under the embellishment of the night, took on a dreamlike and ethereal beauty.

Under the cherry blossom rain, the GUTS team chose a spot on the grass under two adjacent cherry blossom trees, laid out a carpet on the grass, and placed the drinks and food they had brought on the carpet.

"Alright, alright, everyone can start eating now," Horii said with a smile.

"Great! We can finally eat!" Karen happily picked up her chopsticks and took a croquette from the food box.

"Karen, I'm so envious of you. You can eat whatever you want and never gain weight." Lina reached out and rubbed Karen's flat stomach, her eyes full of envy.

Hearing Lina's words, Shen Yun almost laughed.

Karen isn't human, so of course she can eat whatever she wants and not gain weight.

Unless the battery is bulging.

"Come on, let's drink until we drop!" Shinjo opened a bottle of sake and poured drinks for everyone.

"Doctor, why don't you have a drink too?" Shinjo gestured, raising the bottle in his hand.

"I don't really like drinking." Shen Yun waved his hand, picked up the milk that Zong Fang had brought, and poured himself a glass.

Zong Fang smiled, raised his glass and gently clinked it with Shen Yun's, then took a sip of milk.

"I want to eat this."

"Take it, take it."

"Don't steal it!"

"We have everything, we have everything."

"Alright, stop pretending."

Across from them, there were others, just like them, admiring the cherry blossoms at night.

Shen Yun also noticed the two women who were admiring the flowers.

He scrutinized the beautiful face of the girl in the kimono, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Isn't that Lord Gozen of the Ninpu Sentai? (The actor is Hitomi Miwa)

Tiddom the Shrine Maiden of the Hyakujuu Sentai, Gozen-sama of the Ninpu Sentai, and Reimu Jasmine of the Tokusou Sentai—these three were all his childhood goddesses.

"Doctor, what are you looking at?" Shinjo noticed Shen Yun's gaze and looked over curiously as well.

The moment Shinjo saw the girl in the kimono, he was immediately captivated: "So beautiful."

Munakata also glanced at her; the girl in the kimono was indeed very pretty, but in his eyes, she still couldn't compare to Megumi.

"You always act like this when you see a pretty girl," Zong Fang said, shaking his head with a slight chuckle.

Shinjo looked at the girl in the kimono, took a sip of his drink from a disposable paper cup, and complained, "Doctor, you're so unfair! You were secretly watching the pretty girl by yourself without inviting me to watch with you."

"What do you mean by secretly watching? I was watching openly and honestly, okay?"

"Hey, Karen, you should go and keep an eye on the doctor." Lina looked at Karen with a grin.

"The love of beauty is human nature. I'm just appreciating beauty, just as I appreciate your beauty," Shen Yun said seriously.

"Hmph, you pass." Lina snorted and laughed.

A slight smile also appeared on Ena Kijima's beautiful, intellectual face.

No woman dislikes being praised.

"As expected of a doctor, you easily accomplished what we couldn't." Horii gave a thumbs up.

"Should I go up and say hello?" Shin-chan asked, slightly drunk.

"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll cover for you," Shen Yun said with ill intent.

"Then I'll go." Shinjo was somewhat tempted and planned to go over and strike up a conversation.

"Don't be silly, you'll be the one who gets hurt in the end. Beautiful flowers all have thorns," Zong Fang advised in a tone of someone who had been through it all.

Xincheng thought about it and agreed, so he sat back down.

"Don't be a coward, Xincheng." Shen Yun looked disappointed.

He thought he was going to have some fun.

Why did you chicken out?

He's a true master of empty talk.

"Doctor, you just want to see me make a fool of myself, don't you?" Shinjo chuckled and cursed, then looked at Munakata and asked, "Speaking of which, Commander, haven't you never been in a relationship? How do you know so much about it?"

"Isn't our captain just one?" Zong Fang said.

"Oh~" Upon hearing this, Shinjo immediately revealed an ambiguous smile.

"What are you talking about?" Kijima asked, eating a croquette and looking at Munakata and Shinjo.

"It's nothing."

The two immediately sat up straight and pretended to drink their beverages as if nothing had happened.
