Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

They had all been trained by Natsuki and were well aware that their opponent was far superior to them in both strength and combat experience. If they really lost control, the three of them would probably only be able to take a beating.

"Out of control...?"

Your concerns are not unfounded.

When Natsuki heard others' concerns about her losing control, her gaze became more serious.

If my past self, in a disabled state, could cause a tragedy, then with my current strength, which even surpasses my past limits, I will probably only cause an even greater tragedy.

"But I won't lose control."

"If there's any sign of things getting out of control, I'll end it all before that happens," Natsuki said calmly.

Because his past experiences were profound enough, he attaches great importance to this aspect.

His former enemies had already used every kind of illusion technique to deal with him, trying to take revenge on this weakness. However, after so many times, they had become extremely resistant to this kind of trick.

Once he understood himself, his mindset was almost flawless, making it impossible for anyone to take advantage of him.

As for the violent drug that spread into the air...

Do Ultraman, who can move in space, really need to breathe air?

"Eh—senpai has actually reached this level of awareness...?" Hokuto Seiji looked surprised when he heard Natsuki say this.

Even as a human being, I wouldn't dare say I made such a decision.

Could an alien predecessor really go to such lengths for humanity?

As expected... aliens and humans can coexist harmoniously.

Seriously, I wish all aliens in the world were like our predecessor.

As Hokuto Seisi pondered, he sighed inwardly.

"If that's the case..."

"Then the three of you will go to New York first."

"After passing through the gateway to the alien town, you will be met by members of the Science Patrol's U.S. branch at the New York Gateway Passage."

Ed made a compromise yet again.

He knew some information that the Star Cluster Council might launch a Black Order in this incident.

If Natsuki insists on going, it would be an opportunity to confirm his idea.

"Received." *3

......

On the other side, in a conference room of an office building.

"This is outrageous!"

"Knowing that aliens are going to attack New York, why would they still hold a charity concert there!?"

When Sayama Rena's assistant heard about the company's plan, she was so angry that she stood up, slammed her hand on the table, and shouted.

Many people are already evacuating from New York, yet the company is still insisting that Rena Sayama's concert continue, and even be moved forward.

"This is a rare opportunity for us right now."

"Our current strategy is to associate Rena with topics related to Ultraman and aliens in order to generate more buzz."

"The success of previous concerts has proven that this is feasible."

The company's strategy director sat at the head of the conference table and looked at Rena Sayama and her assistant beside her.

"If the aliens announce an attack, then the Science Patrol and Ultraman will definitely find a way to deal with it."

"If the invaders are defeated and our charity concert is successfully held, Rena's influence will soar further, and her reputation will reach its peak."

"The government also hopes that we will do this. At a time when invaders are provoking conflict between humans and aliens, the successful holding of our public welfare activities promoting peaceful coexistence between humans and aliens will also prove that we humans are a race that yearns for peace."

The strategic leader's gaze, framed by his glasses, was filled with unwavering determination.

For both public and private reasons, they must continue with this project.

"What do you think the lives of the company's employees are?!" The assistant became even more furious upon hearing this.

"This is also an opportunity for them, and we will never treat any employee unfairly," the strategy manager said without changing his expression.

"You..." The assistant wanted to say something more, and even thought of picking up a chair and throwing it at the other person.

However, Rena Sayama restrained her assistant, who was about to explode.

He looked at the strategy manager with the same angry gaze and said, "What you're doing is really disgusting, but I'm going to New York."

She wouldn't be so angry if it were just her putting herself in danger, but a concert can't be held without the staff who prepare backstage, and their lives are also very precious.

She agreed because, on the one hand, she couldn't go against the company's and the government's decision, and on the other hand... she genuinely believed that Ultraman could defeat the invaders and protect them.

Despite being a super popular idol, he's still nothing compared to the company and even the government.

As the leader of the Ultraman fan club, this time... I really can only rely on Ultraman.

Chapter 438 Fishing in Troubled Waters

"Everyone in New York."

"As you have probably noticed, many people who use the new hallucinogens enter a berserk state and gain tremendous strength."

"From an ordinary human being to a superhuman with extraordinary powers."

"This is the blessing we bring to you humans."

"In eighteen hours, the air throughout New York will be filled with this drug, and you will all gain extraordinary power."

“The boring rules will be broken. You all have the power to be above the law. And because we are the main culprits and you are the victims, even if you do something illegal in a state of rage, you will not be held accountable in the end.”

"Come, let us wait together for the blessing to arrive!"

The voice of the Dark Star leader echoed through images across New York.

This caused panic throughout the city.

Those who had the means to escape New York had already taken all their belongings, left their homes, and fled to distant places.

However, there were simply too many vehicles trying to escape New York, causing extremely serious traffic congestion. People who had used the drug began to appear in various corners of the city and started launching indiscriminate attacks, prompting a full-scale deployment of local police.

"Help!"

"No, don't come any closer!"

Inside a luxury store on the street, a young female cashier at the counter screamed in fright when she saw someone break the glass and rush in.

The newcomer was someone who had taken or injected a berserk drug; he was much more robust than the average person, and his eyes glowed red.

She had wanted to run away, but... she simply didn't have the means to escape New York. Besides, skipping work would result in a significant deduction from her wages. The luxury stores looked lavish, but they had nothing to do with her. In fact, she was the least valuable person in the entire store.

Just when she thought she was about to meet her end, she was in dire straits.

Take them all!

The three berserk humans completely ignored her, their eyes fixed on the valuable jewelry in the store.

They packed up all the valuables, ready to take them with them, and then headed to the next store.

Only the bewildered female sales clerk remained standing there.

Looking at the shop that had been completely looted... she felt even more desperate.

......

"Are you really going, Kotaro?"

"Why don't we leave too? How can you deal with so many mutated people by yourself?"

In a secluded alley off a street in New York, David, with short blond hair, looked into the back seat of a van. His friend from another country had changed into a uniform that seemed somewhat abstract to him, and it looked like he was going to do some chivalrous deeds.

"I have to go."

"Now, they need a hero."

Higashi Kotaro pulled up his mask, listened to the chaotic sounds outside, and said with a firm gaze.

In his eyes, it seemed as if a flame was igniting, and his heart pounded powerfully like an engine.

"I just can't stop you."

David watched as Higashi Kotaro opened the car door and sped out of the alley into the night, and said with emotion.

"Wanting to become a hero... comes at a price."

He was a realistic person who knew that to gain something, you had to give something in return, and he had some concerns about Higashi Kotaro's actions.

After each act of chivalry, he had to prepare a lot of ice packs to cool down Higashi Kotaro. That incredible power seemed to come at a price, but it hadn't been shown yet.

On the rooftop above the alley, there seemed to be some figures lurking in the shadows, eyeing the lone van.

......

On the chaotic streets, berserk humans are attacking indiscriminately. The traffic jam on the highway seems to be under attack by a group of "zombies". The armed police are trying to maintain order, but the scene is too chaotic. They will accidentally injure normal people when they fire their guns at random.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Kotaro Higashi, dressed in a red battle suit, descended from the sky, grabbed a mutant, and threw him from beside the car toward the wall, where he slammed into the wall and dented it.

"I'll have to trouble you with this!" After dealing with one of them, he looked at the armed police officers beside him and said to them.

He was in charge of suppressing the mutants, while the police were in charge of handcuffing them—perfect.

"You are..."

"That Ultraman in the bodysuit?"

"Damn, there really are street heroes!"

The police officers were all surprised by Higashi Kotaro's performance.
