Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 582 War Between Giants

Special department of the base.

After Matsunaga's routine report, he met privately with Shuto Saya. Perhaps because the base was located deep in the reservoir, the bright conference room seemed somewhat gloomy.

"Really? The alien beast didn't attack Gumen; it disappeared along with the mist..."

Matsunaga's expression shifted, and after thinking for a moment, he still offered a reminder.

"Don't report this matter yet."

"Why?" Shudo Saya stared wide-eyed. "You considered this possibility from the beginning, didn't you? Lipia is the Unknown Hand, or a darkness equal to the Unknown Hand. The visitor may not be absolutely correct; they might be an individual who has never appeared before..."

"Be careful what you say!"

Matsunaga suddenly stared at him with a serious expression.

"The visitor's information is top secret, not something we can just casually mention... Besides, we still need to rely on Lipia right now. If something goes wrong, can you afford the consequences?"

"I……"

"What's the situation with Chishu Rei?"

Matsunaga glanced at the rather unwilling Shudo Saya and quietly changed the subject.

"We can't give up on the Nexus storyline either."

"It seems that Ruisheng has his own ideas," Shudo Saya shook her head and said. "All we know for now is that the child trusts Komon exceptionally and may possess important information about Lipia."

"Important intelligence?"

Matsunaga's brow twitched, his expression one of shock. He stared at Shuto Saya again, so excited that he could not even maintain his composure.

"What important information? Does Nexus possess Lydia's memories?"

"I don't know," Shudo Saya said helplessly. "I didn't dare let Mizuki inquire about this either. Based on the information Komon revealed, Lipia might come from another universe?"

"Then that's it."

Matsunaga seemed to realize something and stopped talking, instead giving a wink and secretly clenching his fist.

The war between giants was actually more advantageous to humanity.

At least on the surface, Lypia is helping humanity and Nexus.

"In any case, try to get as much information as possible from Senju Rei."

"Well."

Saya Shouto stopped talking.

Since Nonomiya Mizuki met Senju Rei, this subordinate, whom he had initially thought highly of, has changed more and more.

If this continues, I feel like I'm going to be kidnapped.

"What? Is there a problem?" Matsunaga regained his composure.

"no."

……

Night Raid Team Dormitory.

After Hiroyuki Misawa's death, Komon rejoined the team, but temporarily did not participate in operations and was considered a free agent.

"Lipia, can the power of the visitor truly fail?"

While completing his daily training, Komon asked Natsukawa a question.

The day after the humanoid alien beast incident, after a brief period of calm, eyewitness reports suddenly surged from all over the country, and urban legends intensified.

If this continues, we will soon reach a critical point.

The key issue is that the unknown force behind the scenes has not yet shown itself, so the Night Raid team can only search for the controlled alien beast as much as possible.

"I heard that the Precognitive Ones have found a lair of alien beasts, mainly an evolved derivative of the past beetle alien beasts, which hides its vibrational wave reactions through special organs... Was it intentionally designed by an unknown force?"

Xia Chuan did not respond, but quietly looked through the Ultraman cards in his hand that had been dyed black.

For someone like him who started out in the Knight dungeon, the dark power itself wasn't scary; what was scary was being unable to control it.

This card can actually evolve on its own.

If he can't keep up with the pace, he will probably be countered because he can't control it, and the dark curse on the giant will also be detonated, turning him into a complete dark giant.

Although it is also an evolutionary path, he absolutely does not want to go to that point.

"Whoosh!"

As if echoing Natsukawa's thoughts, black reflections flashed across the card face, and Faust and Mephistopheles seemed to be sneering, as if they were living creatures trying to crawl out of the card face.

*Splat*

Xia Chuan clenched his fingers and put the card away.

No matter what, it's just a dungeon world. He's almost cleared the Knight dungeon, so how difficult can the Ultraman dungeon be?

The starting point now is much higher than it was back then.

"Um?"

Suddenly, a wave of consciousness radiated outwards, and Xia Chuan reflexively possessed Komon, throwing away the dumbbell in one hand and unleashing his psychic power.

Mitsuhiko Ishibori disappeared from his perception.

It seems the other party has actively blocked all information, but why now?

The power of the visitors has not yet reached a critical point.

"What's wrong?" Komon asked anxiously.

"I don't know, but... let's go protect Senju Rei first."

Xia Chuan raised his hand and summoned the Aurora Curtain to transform the space.

He wasn't worried about the Night Raid Team; the only one he needed to be careful of was Senju Rei.

As long as Nexus doesn't cause any problems, everything will be fine.

"Whoosh!"

"They're really cautious."

In the base corridor, Mitsuhiko Ishibori gritted his teeth coldly in the shadows.

His identity seems to have been exposed, but why doesn't the sect reveal it?

Is it that they don't want to bring the conflict to the forefront right now? Or... is it that Lypia has also set its sights on Nexus?

Mitsuhiko Ishibori chuckled hoarsely, his gaze growing increasingly dangerous.

Matsunaga's prediction may not be correct, but the enemy is indeed quite troublesome at the moment, and it is worth his full effort.

"Then let's see who has the last laugh. I have the same power as the visitors, so I'll be one step ahead of you."

……

Urban area.

Matsunaga didn't get home until midnight. He took out the Komon materials he had prepared beforehand and rubbed his temples wearily.

The organization needed to keep it confidential, so he could only conduct the investigation privately, but it seemed he didn't find anything.

Before transforming into Lypia, Komon was at the bottom of the Night Raid Team in every aspect, and was almost killed by Mizoro Momoko.

However, after that, Komon underwent a 180-degree transformation, not only easily overcoming the shadow of his girlfriend's death, but also gaining power surpassing that of Jun Himeya and Shinya Mizoroki.

Sometimes he even wondered if a solitary figure who wasn't possessed was truly a solitary figure.

The seemingly ordinary gate might have always been a disguise for Lipia.

After all, compared to other Titans, the summoning transformation is too strange, even though they sometimes transform directly.

If it comes from another universe, it's even more incomprehensible.

This is far beyond our comprehension...

"Thump!"

The sound of a water bottle falling to the ground echoed in the living room hallway. Matsunaga's daughter, who had gotten up sometime earlier, stared blankly at the photo of Komon on the computer screen.

"Still working?"

"ah."

Matsunaga hurriedly closed his laptop, then turned to his daughter, who was looking at him with a headache.

"When did you wake up?"

"When you came back," the daughter said casually, turning to walk away, then suddenly stopped, "was that Dad's colleague?"

"Go to sleep," Matsunaga said with a troubled expression. "Don't go out unnecessarily these days. If you see anyone suspicious..."

"Is it a monster that specifically preys on women? It's all over the internet."

"Don't overthink this."

"Another classified message? Dad's always like this," the daughter said, sounding disappointed.

"Hazuki, I'm not joking," Matsunaga said through gritted teeth, his face hardening as he faced his only daughter. "Believe me, it won't be long before you return to normal. Until then, stay away from anything abnormal."

"oh."

Under Matsunaga's worried gaze, the daughter returned to her bedroom, it was unclear whether she had heard anything.

Fortunately, I didn't open any confidential documents, so it won't cause any trouble.

Five years ago, his wife was murdered in the Shinjuku incident. Since then, he has always been busy with organizational work, and his relationship with his daughter has become very delicate.

"Darkness or light," Matsunaga choked up as he picked up the group photo, "it doesn't really matter as long as it can save humanity."
