Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 262 The King of Orphnoch

After receiving orders from the Shocker leader, Shen Yun only took Rook, Gador, Gazeya, Babel, and Hanagata with him, leaving the remaining monsters, such as the Fangblood Demon, the Grongi, and the Orphnoch, behind to deal with the upcoming juvenile monsters.

In addition, Shen Yun left behind nearly half of the Venerables to assist the Shocker's monsters in dealing with the large number of juvenile monsters.

At the same time, Shen Yun temporarily handed over command to Maya and asked Bishop to assist her.

With Bishop's assistance, Maya's abilities and methods are more than enough to handle the rest, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

After arranging the aftermath, Shen Yun, along with A2 and Mebius, led the Shocker cyborgs and the remaining Venerables to support other disaster-stricken areas.

When Shen Yun led his team to the scene, the strange army of fogged creatures suddenly withdrew from the city they had conquered for some unknown reason.

Although some of the humans in the city had been devoured by the Fog Monsters, most of them escaped death due to the sudden retreat of the Fog Monster army.

Although somewhat puzzled by the sudden retreat of the strange army of people in the thick fog, Shen Yun did not stand still and arranged for people to treat the wounded.

Those attacked by the fog monster were mostly seriously injured, with bite marks covering their bodies.

This type of injury is the most difficult to treat. Coupled with massive bleeding, unless reconstructive surgery is performed immediately, there is basically no chance of survival.

"He's beyond saving. Hanagata, send him on his way." Shen Yun looked at the pale-faced man whose thigh had been bitten off at the root and couldn't help but shake his head.

"I understand." Hanagata stepped forward, raised his right arm, and his index finger instantly extended, piercing the man's heart.

The orphino energy injected into the man's body by the flower shape instantly incinerated his heart.

This man, who originally seemed on the verge of death, showed signs of a final burst of energy, as if he were experiencing a brief resurgence, thanks to the Orphic energy injected into him by the flower-shaped figure.

The man with the broken leg, covered in gray sand, struggled to his feet, and the distinctive Orphnoch lines appeared on his face.

Under Hanagata's delighted gaze, the man whose leg had been bitten off by the fog monster transformed into an owl, an Orphnoch.

His damaged body regenerated at an astonishing rate. (In Alien Flower, all of Chip's limbs were torn off by Marco, but they all regenerated after Chip transformed into the Orphnoch, a native spider.)

"It's turned into an Orphnoch? Lucky fellow." Shen Yun looked at the Orphnoch with owl-like features in front of him and said softly.

The three queens who came with Shen Yun also showed astonishment on their feminine faces when they saw the dying man transform from a human into a gray-white night owl, Orphnoch.

Humans have actually transformed into something resembling their Venerable Ones?!

This is not about turning humans into cyborgs or plants by implanting machines in their bodies or altering their genes.

They are real human beings!

But why would humans become like them? (AGITO and 555 were initially intended to be in the same world, but this concept was later abandoned.)

Perhaps they should ask the gods.

"The remaining seriously wounded are all in your care," Shen Yun said, patting Hua Xing on the shoulder.

"Yes," Hanagata said, bowing slightly.

Owl Orphnoch, snapping out of his daze, looked at his monstrous appearance and stammered, "I, I am..."

"Don't be afraid, this is human evolution."

"evolution?"

Upon hearing the word "evolution," the three queens abruptly turned to look at Hana-gata and Owl Orphnoch.

Queen Ant Venerable gripped the Yellow Springs Axe in her hand, her red vertical pupils fixed on the two flower-shaped figures who were talking.

Not only Queen Ant Venerable, but also Queen Jaguar Venerable and Queen Raven Venerable looked at the two with extremely strong killing intent.

But soon, Queen Ant Venerable loosened her grip on the Yellow Springs Axe, and then gently shook her head at Queen Jaguar Venerable and Queen Raven Venerable.

These two people are not jaws.

Shen Yun also observed the reactions of the three queens.

If they hadn't been able to tell that the two of them weren't from the Jaw Gate, they would have killed them right now.

This kind of reaction comes from just mentioning "evolution".

If they found out that he was also a superpowered person, would the three of them just attack him and cut him down?

What a dangerous woman.

……

evening.

Inside the makeshift command post, Shen Yun was assigning different tasks to Shocker's monsters.

As the only cadre to wipe out the army of the fog monsters, the Shocker leader directly handed over command to Shen Yun.

Although they only clashed once, Shen Yun still gained some experience in dealing with the fog monster.

After delegating power, the leader of Shuka rarely interfered in the arrangements of other cadres, nor did he engage in micromanagement like Chiang Kai-shek.

After distributing all the tasks for setting up the defense line, Shen Yun picked up his teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat.

The fortifications needed to be built overnight. Although the strange army of fog monsters had temporarily retreated, no one knew when they would return.

The only option is to build the defensive fortifications as quickly as possible.

Shen Yun put down his teacup, looked at Hanagata, and asked, "How many seriously injured people have been treated in the past half day?"

This was something Shen Yun had promised Hanagata: severely wounded soldiers who were beyond saving could be transformed into Orphnoch.

"Less than four hundred people," Hanagata replied.

"Less than four hundred people? That's a rather low conversion rate," Shen Yun said, frowning slightly.

It should be noted that at least tens of thousands of people were seriously injured by the strange creatures in the dense fog, and only less than four hundred of them were converted.

The conversion rate is less than 5%...

"Is there any progress regarding the King of Orphnoch?" Shen Yun asked again.

"No." Hanagata shook his head helplessly.

Over the years, he has been searching for the child who had narrowly escaped death.

However, none of the children he found were fostered by the King of Orphnoch.

However, Hanagata was not discouraged. As long as she kept searching, she would find it sooner or later.

"I understand, you may leave." Shen Yun nodded slightly and waved Hua Xing away.

late at night.

A small figure slowly walked out of the refugee camp.

He walked expressionlessly toward the nearest Orphnoch.

Near the shelter, the man who awakened as the Night Owl Orphnoch during the day was patrolling at night with a young boy.

To prevent the strange creatures in the dense fog from launching sneak attacks at night, Shen Yun arranged for the newcomers who had been transformed into Orphnochs by the Apostle Rebirth to patrol at night.

The two men on patrol were chatting and laughing.

"Uemura-senpai, there's no need to be so serious about patrolling. The army of strange creatures in the thick fog wouldn't attack at night, would they? There are so many of them, they can't possibly hide." The young man, still quite young, said in a rather flippant tone.

He was young, yet he had already awakened into a powerful Orphnoch, so naturally he became somewhat arrogant.

"This is a task assigned by the professor, so you'd better take it seriously," Uemura said, looking around with a flashlight.

"Tch." The young man curled his lip, somewhat unconvinced.

What's with all this talk about being a PhD? He's just an ordinary person.

With his abilities, he might even become a high-ranking official in Shocker.

Just then, Uemura caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye. He quickly shone his flashlight in that direction and shouted, "Who's there?"

The flashlight beam shone on that small figure.

After realizing the figure was just a seven or eight-year-old child, Uemura breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you lost?"

The child just stared at Uemura expressionlessly, which made Uemura feel a little uneasy.

"Hey, kid! I'm talking to you." The young man stepped forward and reached out to shove the little boy's shoulder.

However, the little boy merely glanced at him indifferently, and the young man, as if he had seen something terrifying, took two steps back in fear.

The little boy's shadow stretched rapidly, and a naked young man emerged from it.

Both men were horrified when they saw the naked young man emerge from the boy's shadow.

"You're Orphnochs, right?" the naked youth asked, looking at the two.

Without waiting for their reply, he raised his arms, and ten blue beams of light fell from his fingertips to the ground, causing the concrete on the ground to melt under the power of the ten blue beams.

"Who exactly are you?" The young man asked, his face immediately displaying the markings of an Orphnoch.

The naked youth did not answer, but simply controlled the whip of light in his hand to sweep across the young man in front of him.

The young man was startled, then let out a scream as his body burst into a ghostly blue flame.

His body was engulfed in blue flames, and he collapsed to the ground with a scream.

Uemura looked at the expressionless little boy, his face filled with terror. He looked at the young man lying on the ground, gradually solidifying into a stone statue. He could no longer suppress his fear and turned to run away.

The young man lying on the ground not only had his body frozen into a stone statue, but even the blue flames burning on his body had solidified into a flame-like stone statue.

Seeing Uemura run away, the naked youth did not chase after him, but instead hid in the shadow of the little boy.

After the naked youth returned to the little boy's shadow, he also woke up from his unconscious state.

When he saw the distorted expression on the stone statue in front of him, fear appeared in his eyes. He subconsciously took two steps back before turning around and running away.

Before long, Uemura brought Hanagata to the place where the young man was being preyed upon.

The terrifying little boy had long since vanished, leaving only a stone statue engulfed in blue flames.

"This is..." Hanagata squatted down, looking at the young man who had completely turned into a stone statue. A hint of joy appeared between his brows. He quickly raised his head and looked at Uemura, saying, "Tell me in detail what happened just now."

After calming himself down, Uemura quickly told Hanagata the whole story in detail.

"There's no mistake." After hearing this, Hanagata became even more certain of the other party's identity.

"Did you see what that child looked like?" Hanagata asked quickly.

Upon hearing this, Uemura first nodded, then shook his head and said, "I did see him, but I was too scared to remember what he looked like."

"I don't remember what it looks like?" Hanagata asked, unsure of what to say.

This feeling of being stuck in the middle is really uncomfortable.

However, he wasn't in a hurry.

Anyway, you can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple.

After all, the king only appears in children who have narrowly escaped death.

If we investigate slowly, we'll eventually find out.

"Move him to the doctor's command post," Hanagata ordered, pointing to the stone statue on the ground.

"Yes!" The group of people who came with Hanagata immediately lifted the stone statue and walked towards Shen Yun's tent.

command post.

Shen Yun reached out and broke off a bit of the eerie blue flame tip from the stone statue. Then, he gently rubbed it with his hand, and the flame tip he broke off turned into a ball of ash.

"It's completely turned to stone. Is this the fossilization ability of the King of Orphnochs? Interesting." Shen Yun looked at the stone statue in front of him and showed interest.

"Doctor, how is it?" Hanagata couldn't help but ask.

"Well, this kid's life energy has been completely absorbed. It seems that if your Orphnoch King wants to awaken, he must prey on you Orphnochs." Shen Yun took off his gloves, turned to look at Hanagata, and replied.

"Preying on Orphnochs...?" Hanagata's expression changed instantly upon hearing this.

This was completely different from what he had expected.

He thought that the young man had simply offended the king, which was why he was killed by the king.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be preyed upon by the king...

"That's right. If the King of the Orphnochs wants to fully awaken, he will probably need to hunt a considerable number of Orphnochs." Shen Yun nodded and said.

"I understand, thank you for informing me, Doctor." Hanagata left Shen Yun's tent with a sullen face.

Watching Hanagata's departing figure, Shen Yun shook his head and focused his attention on the stone statue in front of him.

Regardless of what Hanagata thinks, the King of Orphnoch must awaken; he is quite interested in the King of Orphnoch.

……

Mothership shrouded in dense fog, incubation chamber.

Nearly 100,000 monster eggs, each as tall as a person, slowly hatched under the power of the Mother of Fog.

The outer shells of these monster eggs suddenly shattered as if liquid, revealing naked humanoid creatures inside.

After a moment of confusion, these hatched humanoid creatures, driven by instinct, grabbed a young monster that crawled past them and put it in their mouths.

The baby monster squeaked as it was devoured alive, piece by piece, by these humanoid creatures. (Sparrow eating a child.jpg)

The juvenile monsters that are still hatching are becoming food for these humanoid creatures to replenish their nutrition.

Once these humanoid creatures had finished eating, the voice of the Mother of the Fog echoed in the incubation chamber.

"My beloved children, go and fulfill your mission: devour all life on this planet!"

Upon hearing this, the nearly 100,000 humanoid creatures all replied in unison, "Your subjects understand."

With the hatching of nearly 100,000 humanoid creatures, the fog monsters that had temporarily retreated have returned once again.
