We asked you to make tokusatsu films, and you actually became Ultraman?

The moment the Sylvia star chart burst into light, two forces that had been residing deep within the star chart were also awakened simultaneously.

Earth energy and ocean energy, one red and one blue, flow slowly in the light of the star chart.

They seemed to sense something, and across vast distances of time and space, they resonated subtly with that blue planet in another universe.

The resonance was very light, like two strings of the same frequency being plucked at the same time, like a heartbeat from afar quietly matching one's own heartbeat.

The instant the resonance was achieved, the invisible force binding Yun Yu melted away like frost exposed to sunlight, disappearing without a trace.

Almost the instant the restraints were loosened, Yun Yu felt as if she had been swallowed whole by something.

It seems that because this time we traveled directly through the universe, unlike the feeling of falling directly into strange space before, this time the feeling was much more uncomfortable.

Forces were tearing at his body from all directions, like countless invisible hands pulling him in different directions.

A tearing pain shot through my skin, my bones felt like they were being torn apart, my consciousness began to blur, and all I could hear was a sharp buzzing sound, like a thousand needles piercing my brain at the same time.

Fortunately, Yun Yu reacted quickly and immediately gripped the Sirius Star Chart to her chest the moment it was torn apart.

Blue light burst forth from the star chart, enveloping his entire body. The next second, he transformed into Ultraman Sirius.

A powerful energy erected a barrier amidst the turbulent flow of spacetime, forcefully withstanding the tearing forces.

But those forces did not disappear; instead, they became even more violent.

The spacetime turbulence was like a runaway meat grinder, constantly impacting Sirius's barrier, each impact causing ripples to spread across it.

Sirius could feel his energy rapidly draining away, and the barrier was cracking little by little under the continuous impact, on the verge of breaking at any moment.

The red light had already started flashing, but Sirius had no choice but to keep replenishing the shield with the remaining energy to maintain this only layer of protection.

Just as Sirius's energy was about to run out, he suddenly felt as if he had passed directly through something.

It was a thin film, like the surface of water, like bubbles.

The moment you pass through it, all noise disappears, as if someone has suddenly pressed the mute button.

The ordeal had exhausted all of Sirius's energy, and he had no mind to tell what he had passed through. Before he lost consciousness, his last thought was to find Dr. Xri and ask for a means of transportation.

The moment he passed through, Sirius's body disintegrated into countless blue light particles.

These light particles did not dissipate; instead, they tightly enveloped Yun Yu, who had reverted to human form, forming a thin layer of blue light film, like a warm cocoon, protecting the ever-falling Yun Yu as she slowly descended towards that despairing Earth.

The entire city was deserted.

There were no cars on the road, and the traffic lights flashed forlornly at the intersection, like a pair of tired eyes.

The glass curtain walls of the high-rise buildings are covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and some entire panes of glass have fallen off, revealing dark, gaping offices inside, like open mouths.

The wind swept through the empty streets, swirling up newspapers and plastic bags on the ground with a rustling sound that was particularly jarring in the deathly silent city.

On a park bench lay a backpack and a water glass with half a glass of water remaining, the rim of which was covered in a layer of dust.

An empty stroller was parked on the side of the road, its wheels slightly bent, the canopy half open, and there was no child inside, only a crumpled little blanket.

The people of this city have vanished as if erased from a piece of paper, leaving only these objects, still bearing the marks of life, as proof that they once existed.

"Miri, Saki, are you done yet! This is making too much noise. If this keeps up, the monster will come."

Akahoshi Nonoko's voice came through the earpiece, carrying a hint of suppressed anxiety.

She was crouching behind an overturned car next to the mall exit, with something that looked like a tablet on her lap. The screen displayed a circular radar interface with green scan lines rotating in circles.

"Everything's ready, let's come out now!"

Misato's voice came through the earpiece, accompanied by rapid breathing and footsteps. She and Sakiko Takayama were collecting supplies in the mall.

"Hurry up, something's not right here," Nonoko said in a low voice, her eyes fixed on the radar screen.

The green scan line went around again, but still found nothing.

But in the next second, the edge of the radar screen suddenly flickered.

A red dot appeared on the outermost edge of the radar and was rapidly approaching them.

Nonoko's pupils contracted sharply. She instinctively looked up into the distance and then heard a loud noise.

"boom--!"

The ground shook violently, and a monster's roar echoed in the distance, along with the ear-piercing sound of metal clashing.

"Gomes! He's already in the square! He's fighting the captain!" Nonoko shouted urgently into her earpiece, jumping up from behind the car at the same time.

"Come out quickly! The captain has engaged the enemy!"

Almost simultaneously, the mall's glass doors were smashed open, and Misato and Saki rushed out one after the other, both panting heavily and covered in sweat.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Nonoko grabbed Misato's arm, and the three of them ran wildly toward the square.

The ground around them continued to shake, and the shaking grew more and more intense, while the sounds of clashing metal and the roars of monsters grew closer and closer.

At this moment, they finally ran out of the mall and came to an open square, where all three of them were stunned.

On the square, two enormous figures were seen pulling at each other.

One was Gomes, whose ten-meter-tall body resembled a moving mountain, his thick limbs leaving a deep footprint with every step.

It let out a low growl, its small eyes flashing with ferocity, and it was waving its claws at the target in front of it.

The other "giant" is the U-loader.

This mech, originally designed for construction site work, is now using its superior mobility to skillfully maneuver through the gaps in Gomes' attacks.

The U-loader was only half the height of Gomes, but it moved like a nimble monkey, dodging left and right, making every attack of Gomes miss its mark.
