Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"You could even say that I came here to help you." Unlike the serious expression of Shinomiya Isao, Natsuki's expression was noticeably more relaxed, and his tone was calm and casual.

On one side was a burly man in a combat suit taut under his overcoat, and on the other side was a tall, thin man in a floral shirt and baggy shorts with a smile on his face; their auras were completely different.

"You've said all that, so you still want to fight me?"

As Natsuki watched Shinomiya take off his coat, revealing his combat suit underneath, and open his heavy briefcase to take out a pair of boxing gloves that looked like rocket boosters, he realized that his opponent was determined to fight him. He sighed silently.

Fighting and killing are not good for the elderly; they are very physically demanding.

Moreover, his Ultra psychic power is not something he can use casually; it severely depletes his lifespan.

Every minute of using Ultra Telekinesis consumes a full 61 seconds of lifespan—how terrifying!

"Words can deceive, but a person's reactions and decisions in battle will never lie."

"I will push you to the brink, and then listen to your answer."

Shinomiya Isao put on the heavy boxing gloves and said in a deep voice.

"Are you really going to use it?" Deputy Commander Itami asked worriedly, seeing him fully armed.

This weapon was created from the body tissue of Monster 2, allowing the user to unleash power comparable to that of a giant monster. However, the price to pay is irreversible physical damage to the user.

At nearly fifty years old, Shinomiya Isao is no longer suitable to use this weapon.

"Itami, I told you, I can still throw a punch." After Shinomiya put on his boxing gloves, his nerves connected with the monster's tissues, and his aura instantly rose.

A powerful aura erupted from his burly body, his black combat suit bulging as his muscles swelled, like a roaring beast. Golden lightning flashed as his weapon was unleashed, causing the entire massive training ground to tremble slightly.

This is the strongest man in the history of the defense force!

"FS-1002 unlocked, neural synchronization complete... Commander, they've entered combat readiness." On the other side, at the First Squad's Ariake Sea Base, several technicians were monitoring weapon data, remotely assisting Shinomiya Isao in controlling these two deadly weapons.

"This is... Commander Shinomiya, the strongest man." Hoshina Soshiro looked at Shinomiya Isao, who had entered battle mode, and slightly opened his narrowed eyes. Opportunities to see his commander fight were rare.

"I hope that person can hold on," Abermina said softly, her eyes also fixed intently on the two opposing sides.

After arriving at the Tachikawa base, the other party explained in detail their purpose for coming to Earth: to capture criminals. She was willing to believe this person, since they had chosen not to take action when they could have easily killed Hoshino.

"It seems... to be an enemy we can't deal with lightly."

Natsuki's floral shirt was constantly being blown up by the aura released by Shinomiya Isao. He could feel the power of this burly man. Without transforming, he would really need to put in a lot of effort to defeat him.

"Show your true abilities."

"Otherwise... you'll die here today." Shinomiya clenched his fists, his sharp eyes filled with fighting spirit.

The government's order was to eliminate them directly, and he would carry it out as needed.

"Well... sometimes it's definitely easier to just have a fight."

"I'm not going to waste any more breath on you." Xia Shu looked at him, her gaze becoming more serious.

With legs spread apart and body slightly lowered, left hand loosely clenched and extended forward, right hand clenched into a fist and tucked to the waist, the simple movements did not unleash a powerful aura like the Shinomiya technique.

However, in Shinomiya Isao's eyes, this man seemed to blend into his surroundings, mysterious and dangerous, with no flaws to be found... or rather, strangely flawed in every way.

Seeing that the opponent was not going to take the initiative to attack, Shinomiya Isao's eyes sharpened, and he rushed forward first.

The combat boots stepped into the alloy ground, creating a crater, and the figure of the person appeared in front of the man in the floral shirt in an instant, like a golden lightning bolt!

[Team-style combat technique, second move – Split Shot!]

The monster organization unleashed a powerful burst of energy in conjunction with this attack, greatly expanding its impact range in the form of a sonic boom. The gauntlets, resembling propellers, instantly grew larger in Natsuki's vision.

Faced with this attack, his clenched right fist lashed out like lightning, meeting the gauntlet with its propulsion system head-on with a fist carrying a trace amount of Specium energy!

The burly figure pressed down on the tall, thin figure. The moment their fists clashed, golden lightning and blue energy clashed, creating an even stronger impact in the training ground.

"This power... is too strong."

Vice Commander Itami and the other two captains and vice-captains who were watching the battle raised their arms to shield themselves from the strong winds generated by the impact, and sighed.

"That man actually managed to go toe-to-toe with Gong."

They were even more surprised by the power that Natsuki had displayed.

Isao Shinomiya used the power of the monster weapon, while the tall, thin young man in the floral shirt used his own fists.

They showed no sign of being at a disadvantage.

After a tentative clash, both sides were forced back by the force of the other's blow, and their gazes toward each other became more serious.

"This level of physical strength has reached the level of a giant monster." Shinomiya Kou looked at Natsuki, who had no obvious injuries, with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice.

This man's strength has exceeded his expectations.

"You've got some skills." Xia Shu shook her right hand, her gaze becoming more serious.

The technology on this planet is truly fascinating; it allows humans to unleash power comparable to that of monsters.

If it were me, fresh off arriving in the Pacific world, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand that attack even in human form.

Back then, he was just a grunt, but now, with the help of the bracelet, he has recovered a small portion of his strength and can be considered a high-ranking soldier in the Space Garrison.

Chapter 173 A Full-Force Strike

In the second round of the battle, Natsuki chose to take the initiative, using her legs to propel herself into the air at an extremely fast speed.

He adjusted his angle in mid-air, his movements were very smooth and beautiful, and he kicked downwards in the most powerful posture!

[Swallow-style flying kick!]

The entire sequence of movements was so fast that Shinomiya only saw a blur before the flying kick arrived in front of him.

He didn't have time to use team fighting techniques, so he could only quickly cross his gauntlets to defend himself.

The kick, light yet incredibly powerful, struck Shinomiya's gauntlet, instantly cracking the alloy floor beneath him. His legs buckled under the immense force as he struggled to block the blow.

Seeing this, Natsuki kicked his right leg, which was already on the opponent's glove, with renewed force.

The sudden shift in force created an opening in Shinomiya's defensive stance, disrupting his balance.

And Natsuki's figure leaped into the air again with the force of this.

His left leg suddenly rose high above his head, his golden eyes looked down and locked onto the original landing point. In milliseconds, he accelerated downwards, creating a sonic boom with his body exceeding the speed of sound!

【Swallow Flying Kick - Modified Second Form - Meteor Fall!】

'An attack from the air... then let's use this strike!' Shinomiya further liberated his synchronization rate with his combat suit and weapon, capturing Natsuki's movements, transmitting nerve signals to the weapon, and adjusting the output mode.

The gauntlet's thrusters released energy backward, propelling it upward with tremendous force!

[Team-Style Combat Techniques, Fourth Form - Rising Through!]

Golden lightning burst forth from his body as he steadied himself and forcefully swung his fist upwards!

The two sides clashed again in an instant, their unmatched forces collided, creating a terrifying impact that made the entire training ground, made of alloy, tremble!

"W-what happened?"

"earthquake?"

"Or have monsters appeared again?"

The defense team members at Tachikawa Base all felt the tremor and contacted their captain and vice-captain.

The reply they received was that Commander Shinomiya was fighting someone in the training grounds.

"Really? That's a training ground that can withstand attacks from level 8 monsters."

"Commander Shinomiya... is terrifying."

In this world, the strength level of monsters is usually classified according to the earthquake level. A monster with a strength of level eight can cause damage equivalent to an earthquake of level eight.

The fact that they were able to break through the training ground and let the team members above feel the aftershocks of the battle proves that the level of this battle has reached level nine, or even... level ten.

......

During the struggle, Shinomiya was completely caught off guard. Natsuki was able to ignore gravity and use his own strength to seize the opening in his defense, kicking him away.

It slammed into the wall of the training field, creating dents and cracks, and the base shook again.

"Shall we continue?" Natsuki landed lightly on the ground, looked at Shinomiya Isao who had gotten up from the hole in the wall, and asked, clenching her fist.

Fighting in human form is extremely physically demanding.

It's only because I ate twenty bowls of pork chop rice earlier that I can't hold on any longer.

This is the strongest man in the history of the defense force, and his reputation is well-deserved. He has to deal with him with all his might.

Even an Ultra Warrior with insufficient combat experience would not be able to gain the upper hand in human form.

Is this all you've got?

"This is not what I want to see." Shinomiya Isao twisted his neck, readjusted his posture, and looked at Natsuki in the center of the training field, his aura still imposing.

He could tell that this wasn't even the opponent's full strength.

He had to force the other party to use all their strength, see through the person's character, and... he also needed a reason to deal with the higher-ups.

"Are you that persistent?"

"You're really going to put this old body through a lot of trouble..." Xia Shu said with a helpless expression.

However, he also vaguely sensed Shinomiya Isao's intentions.

Shinomiya clenched his fists, his aura exploding further, and all the muscles in his body bulged, making him look like a moving iron tower.

"Commander Shinomiya's synchronization rate has risen to 95%!"

"Enter a state of complete liberation!"

"To think that Commander Shinomiya could be pushed to this extent... Just what kind of enemy is this?!"

The technician at the Ariake Seaside Base, who was testing Yoshinomiya Kyou's physical data, looked astonished.

Commander Shinomiya, who hadn't fought in a long time, suddenly entered a state of full liberation in this battle. With his body, which had been through many battles, Shinomiya simply couldn't withstand it for long.

"This is all I've done."

"The fact that you were able to withstand my next move proves that our defense team is not capable of controlling you."

Shinomiya Kou's sharp eyes were already bloodshot as he walked heavily toward Natsuki.

The gauntlets on both arms entered full-power output mode, with surging energy constantly overflowing, about to reach the critical point of explosion.
