Starting from the destruction of the Land of Light

The following afternoon, at the Earth Defense Force headquarters.

The dormitory was filled with the smell of ink from old books and the minty scent of air freshener. Sunlight streamed in through the windows, filtering through the white curtains and illuminating the room softly.

Chu Huai sat on the hard bed covered with blue and white checkered sheets, his gaze somewhat vacant as he stared at the wall directly opposite him.

On the wall hung a photo, a group photo of all the members of their action team. Everyone in the photo had a big smile on their face, looking so joyful and happy.

This is neither Chu Huai's bed nor his dormitory.

This is Captain Wang Kui's room.

Or rather, this is the room where the imposter Captain Wang Kui used to be.

This matter was like a needle that kept piercing Chu Huai's nerves. Captain Wang Kui, who fought alongside him, whom he regarded as an extremely reliable senior, and even whom he regarded as an older brother at times, had been cruelly killed and replaced by the Pedan aliens two years ago.

Two years.

More than seven hundred days and nights.

An alien invader, disguised as a fallen comrade, using his name, imitating his actions, and impersonating his identity, infiltrated among everyone.

The thought of this person who had been right beside him, smiling at him on the surface and thinking of him in everything, but actually wanting to kill him every moment, made Chu Huai feel suffocated.

An indescribable, eerie feeling almost consumed him.

He felt surrounded by falsehood. The trust built up over two years, the emotions invested, and even the joy of fighting side by side had all turned into a malicious and unfunny joke.

This is a painful deception, a humiliation of being manipulated, and a belated sense of guilt towards the real Captain Wang Kui who has already sacrificed himself.

Why didn't I realize it sooner?

Why didn't I realize it sooner?

Despite being the chosen one of Ultraman and possessing extraordinary power, he remained completely oblivious to the sins right under his nose.

If I could have changed all of this sooner, would things have been different?

Click!

Just as Chu Huai was deep in thought, the dormitory door was gently pushed open.

Chen Mo slowly walked in, his gaze sweeping over Chu Huai, who sat on the edge of the bed and looked rather thin, without any surprise.

"I knew you'd be here."

He slowly walked to Chu Huai's side, paused in mid-air with his hand, and then patted Chu Huai's shoulder heavily.

"Let's go, the commander-in-chief just ordered an emergency meeting."

"A meeting? What kind of meeting?"

Chu Huai finally spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time. In fact, he had been silent ever since he returned that morning.

"You know..." Chen Mo sighed, then continued, "I understand you're feeling bad right now. Believe me, it's not just you, it's us all the same. But this isn't over yet."

Chu Huai slowly raised his head. "Have you found the enemy's identity?"

Chen Mo did not speak.

He simply nodded slightly.

...

pat!

A thick stack of documents was placed on the table by Long Tian. Next to the table, Chu Huai, Chen Mo, Yang Tianyu, and Tang Yu from the analysis team were gathered together.

"This is the information on the Pedan aliens who have been lurking among us all along. At the same time, I have also found out who is behind them. This guy is the culprit who has been constantly releasing energy waves to summon monsters."

"The High-Dimensional Predator - Bogaru".

As Longtian spoke, Tang Yu typed something on the keyboard, and soon, some information related to Bogaru appeared on the screen.

Tang Yu also picked up the conversation and began to explain.

"The Bogaru are an incredibly treacherous and cunning race in the universe. They roam between star systems, enjoying devouring all kinds of beings with powerful energy to enhance their own strength."

"These individuals have destroyed many planets and cosmic civilizations. Their reputation in the universe is extremely bad; they are basically like rats that everyone hates. But they are very insidious, and very few people can kill them."

"Bogaru, this is the first time I've heard of that name." Chen Mo stroked his chin and looked up at Tang Yu. "Didn't we have any information about them before?"

"No." Tang Yu shook his head. "At least in the records of contact with the M78 Nebula, there is no record of Bogaru. In fact, the records we have now were provided by Commander-in-Chief Longtian."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Longtian.

"I have quite a few informants among the aliens; we can't just let them live on Earth for nothing," Ryuta explained in a deep voice, then added, "According to intelligence, this Bogaru has been on Earth for a long time."

Ta-da—

The images on the screen change.

"We have reason to suspect that their target is the Light Clan's compatible individuals on Earth. This can be proven by the intelligence we obtained from Yan Su. The Pedan alien himself admitted to the fact that he assassinated the American compatible individuals."

"Is Deputy Captain Yan still in danger?"

"He's been discharged from the ICU, but he still needs to be hospitalized for observation. He was the most seriously injured, so he won't be able to participate in missions for a while." After answering, Longtian focused on the screen again.

"According to Yan Su's account, the Pedan alien also admitted his purpose for infiltrating: he attempted to gain our trust and use the Earth Defense Force to find Ultraman Phyllis's whereabouts."

"Where is Ultraman Phyllis?"

"So he's planning to wipe out Ultraman Phyllis's host and Chu Huai in one fell swoop this time?!"

"That beast..."

The atmosphere in the operations room was instantly filled with righteous indignation.

Longtian noticed Chu Huai, who had remained silent. He could tell that this incident had been a huge blow to the young man.

"So now we finally know the identity of our enemy. It was all Bogaru's doing. She tried to seize the power of light from the Light Clan and devour two Ultramen at the same time. However, her plan was temporarily changed due to the transfer of Item Number One."

"Item number one, the legacy of the Ultra Brothers, is also the monster capsule that Ultraman Seven used on Earth. Doflamingo, has the monster inside the capsule been identified?"

"The commander-in-chief has been identified." Tang Yu nodded, his gaze falling on Chu Huai. "After Chu Huai helped us break the seal left by Ultraman Seven, we confirmed the identity of the capsule monster: Windom."

Subsequently, images and information about Uindam appeared on the big screen.

It was a humanoid monster clad in silver armor, with a head resembling a mechanical rooster. The information also indicated that it had been summoned to assist Ultraman Seven in battle on multiple occasions when he faced crises.
