Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

"Doctor, do you know what happened to Ryosuke?" Horii asked.

"I know," Shen Yun said without looking up.

"Please tell me! Please!" Horii pleaded.

"He received an Abloon cell transplant."

"Ebloon cells? What are those?" Horii asked with a hint of confusion.

"Eibron cells are cosmic cells that the Space Development Center obtained from a meteorite that fell to Earth. Organisms that have been transplanted with these cells will experience a leap in physical abilities." Shen Yun explained to Horii while his hands were busy mixing the medicine.

"There are cells like this? That's a good thing." Horii was somewhat surprised.

"If that's all there is to it, then of course it's a good thing," Shen Yun smiled and said, "But the problem is that Ebloon cells have strong side effects. They need to absorb a lot of electricity every now and then, otherwise they will die very quickly."

"Could it be..." Horii's expression changed drastically.

He suddenly remembered the explosion at the power plant in the newly developed area, and the fleeting monster reaction.

"That's right." Shen Yun nodded and continued, "The more electricity it absorbs, the faster it turns into a monster. In the end, a creature that has been transplanted with Ebron cells will become a monster that only devours energy."

Shen Yun paused for a moment, then said softly, "This cell reminds me of a trap developed by some advanced civilization, or perhaps some kind of biological weapon used in warfare. Of course, I'm more inclined to believe the latter."

After all, Ebron cells can mass-produce monsters as long as there is enough electricity, and the cost is quite low.

All it takes is a lot of electricity and some organisms transplanted with Ebron cells.

As for how to control it?

Does this monster need to be controlled?

Once the Eberon Monster is deployed in the enemy camp, it will automatically attack everything it sees.

Moreover, this disposable monster, which dies after use, perfectly solves the problem of cleanup.

This is simply the most perfect and cheapest consumable.

"..."

Horii was stunned by Shen Yun's astonishing words and couldn't speak for a long time.

After a moment of silence, Horii said again, "Dr. Shen seems to know a lot about Ebloon cells."

"Yes, I have studied Ebloon cells before," Shen Yun nodded and replied.

"Oh? So, Doctor, have you figured out a way to improve Eblon cells?" Horii asked, somewhat curious.

"I once developed two different improvement plans, but I destroyed them in the end."

"Why?" Horii asked, puzzled.

He did not doubt the truthfulness of Shen Yun's words.

"Because I can't perfectly solve the side effects of Ebron cells amplifying inner darkness and extreme emotions. If these side effects can't be resolved, then no matter how well Ebron cells are improved, it's useless," Shen Yun said bluntly.

"There are such side effects?!" Horii exclaimed in astonishment.

"Yes, now you know why I destroyed the data, right? I not only destroyed the relevant data, but also the Ebloon cells of the Space Development Center," Shen Yun said.

"Then why did Ryosuke...?"

"Perhaps he secretly kept some before destroying it," Shen Yun sighed, putting down the medicine in his hand.

He watched as the Ebron cells were destroyed, including those from animals that had received Ebron cells.

He was certain that all of the Ebron cells had been destroyed.

The only explanation is that Ryosuke Sanada secretly kept a portion for himself.

He didn't quite understand, since he had clearly explained the side effects of the Ebron cells.

Why did Ryosuke Sanada still choose this path?

"Is there a solution?" Horii asked.

"No," Shen Yun shook his head and said, "Ebloon cells parasitize the host's body and form a special symbiotic relationship with the host. It is very difficult to separate them artificially."

"I see." Horii's eyes dimmed.

After a short while, Horii composed himself and said, "So, Ryosuke's behavior earlier was a symptom of the side effects kicking in?"

"That's right."

Horii analyzed, "In other words, once the side effects of the Ebloon cells take effect, it must absorb a large amount of electricity, and the newly developed area has a large amount of electricity, so it's like the only place with energy centers."

"But the problem is, if Ryosuke knows that Dr. Shen knows you know about his Ebron cell transplant, will he still go to the energy center?" Horii asked.

"He will go. Even if he doesn't want to come, the Ebloon cells in his body will drive him to draw electricity."

"I see. I'll head over now," Horii said.

"What's the rush? Let me prepare the inhibitor first," Shen Yun said calmly, glancing at Hori on the screen.

"Inhibitor?"

"It can inhibit the activity of Aibolon cells, allowing the Aibolon cell host to temporarily return to normal and delaying side effects."

"I see."

Room 713 inside the hotel.

Ryosuke Sanada forced himself to take the tape recorder from the bedside table and began recording his current condition.

"It's acting up again, and the side effects are occurring at shorter intervals. My body is craving more electricity, and there are even signs of it getting out of control. My body is starting to change; it's growing scales and tentacles. My consciousness seems to be affected by the Ebloon cells, making it difficult to maintain my rationality."

Ryosuke Sanada kept recording his changes with a tape recorder, witnessing his transformation from a human to a monster.

"Soon, all of this will be over."

He had long anticipated this day, and he knew he would die, but he was not afraid of death.

……

night.

Under the cover of night, a figure nimbly descended from the seventh floor, almost without pausing, and turned to run towards the energy center.

Instead of taking a detour, he went straight ahead, overcoming any obstacles in his path.

With just a light jump, one can leap over a wall several meters high.

He moved forward at an extremely fast speed. Under the cover of night, ordinary people could only see a black shadow flash by and could not see the other person's face at all.

Such abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.

But the cost is equally staggering.

Except for still having a human form, Ryosuke Sanada is now no different from a monster.

His body was covered with gray-black scales, and many bone spurs grew on his body, making him look very ugly and strange.

With his powerful physique and instinct to draw electricity, Ryosuke Sanada quickly arrived outside the walls of the energy center.

With only instinct remaining, Sanada Ryosuke seemed to sense some danger and suddenly vanished from his spot.

The next moment, a laser beam struck the spot where he had just been standing, leaving a charred mark on the concrete floor.

"Is this Ryosuke?" Horii stared at Sanada Ryosuke, whose appearance was almost indistinguishable from a monster, his chubby face full of disbelief.

"It's definitely him." Shen Yun looked at Sanada Ryosuke, who was now only driven by instinct, took out the Spark Lens, and said calmly:

"Leave the rest to me. Once I've subdued it, Horii, you can take the opportunity to inject the inhibitor into it. I want to know why he's doing this."

"Understood!" Horii tightened his grip on the inhibitor.

"Armor, teleport!"

The golden wings of the Spark Prism unfolded instantly, and the signal light in the center flashed with dazzling light.

The dazzling light illuminated the darkness, forcing both Sanada Ryosuke and Horii, who had already transformed into monstrous forms, to raise their hands and shield their eyes from the light.
