Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

Father Osaka was deeply worried; it seemed the Land of Light was about to be shrouded in the shadow of war once again.

"Yes, Captain."

“xia---”

With a soft shout, Zoffy appeared not far from Father O.

"You're back. Brother Zoffy, the dark virus in the vicinity has been cleared up."

"Yes, the Dark Virus has been appearing more and more frequently lately."

"And our manpower..."

Zoffy gestured to the three of them, then walked over slowly, looking equally worried.

"There's no other way. The young Ultra Warriors haven't experienced real combat yet, so we can't entrust them with important tasks for the time being."

"However, I just returned from Earth and found that Mebius seems to have grown a lot."

Father Ao changed the subject and started talking about Xiao Meng, who was training on Earth.

"Really? That's wonderful! I hope he can grow up quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Taro couldn't help but feel gratified for Mebius.

Chapter 203 Dark Virus: Second Avatar (Part 1)

...

"Perhaps Mebius will be of help in the upcoming battle."

Zoffy also seems to have high hopes for this younger brother who will soon become an Ultra Brother.

"Yes, he still needs more experience."

"We can't just sit here and wait to die any longer."

"Let all the clansmen who have reached adulthood and completed basic training, physical training, and mastery of light techniques work together in groups of three to clean up the dark virus that has appeared in the Land of Light star field."

"Taro will stay behind to train the tribesmen, while Zoffy will coordinate them. How many tribesmen have completed the three stages of training?"

Father O asked Taro.

The so-called three stages are as described above.

Basic training includes familiarizing oneself with the weaknesses of most common monsters, memorizing all star regions in the universe, learning the Ultra philosophy, mastering the universal language, and of course, some basic combat abilities, which are the fighting techniques that can be taught.

Only by mastering this can one barely be considered a "fighting Ultraman".

Combat training is a type of physical training. For example, Ultraman Zero fighting Leo while wearing special armor is a rather extreme example.

Well, Seven's human form, Dan Moroboshi, crashing his jeep into Leo's human form, Gen Otori, can also be considered a form of physical training.

Light beam techniques are more complex and cumbersome than hand-to-hand combat. Not all Ultra Warriors can use light beams, and it's not enough to just know a general healing beam. You must master a special attack, which is a beam that can defeat monsters.

For example, the Specium Ray is one of the most common types.

Some Ultraman possess powerful beams, such as Zoffy's M87 beam, the original Ultraman's Specium, and Taro's Strium, etc.

Xiao Meng's Mebium Ray is also included in this category, which shows how much potential he has.

Furthermore, one must be very skilled at releasing light. Of course, one doesn't need to reach Ace's level, but at least one must be able to "handle it with ease."

Otherwise, if you were to clash with a monster's energy blast, and it had already launched its attack while you were still thinking about what to do first, wouldn't you just turn into light or a stone statue and return directly to the Land of Light?

There are 721 people.

Upon hearing this, Taro lowered his head slightly, looking somewhat ashamed.

"More than I expected."

However, Ao's father didn't seem to mind much.

In terms of theoretical combat power, these 721 individuals could individually deal with monsters like Sadra.

Although the Land of Light has a population of 180 billion, many of its people do not meet the standards of warriors, the simplest example being their physique.

If the height of 40 meters or more is considered standard for Ultraman like Ace and Taro, then many Ultraman might only be 30 meters or even 20 meters tall.

This is definitely no match for the monster; not to mention its strength, even its beam attacks would be affected.

Those who meet the requirements must be excluded from having no special moves, and also from the Blue Clan who are not very good at fighting. Hmm, Hikari and Tregear are not included. Having these people who meet all three stages is already quite good.

If one has even higher potential, it's possible to join the Space Garrison after accumulating experience and skills.

The Dark Virus can drive monsters into a frenzy and significantly enhance their strength, but it is still extremely safe to operate in small groups.

"Then let's proceed with this arrangement."

"We can no longer allow the virus to exist so rampantly."

"Zoffy, mobilize the elite warriors who are about to return to investigate the origin of the Dark Virus. We must eliminate it at its root."

Father O gave Zoffy some instructions.

"Yes, Captain!"

Zoffy stood at attention slightly.

"Hikari, how's the extraction of the Dark Virus going?"

Father Oz looked at Hikari, the blue warrior who had been listening silently, and who was being watched by the king.

"I'm sorry, no matter what method we use, we cannot preserve the dark virus separated from the monster, so it is impossible to analyze it."

"Perhaps a stronger light is needed to preserve the Dark Virus for a short time. Even if I ask Taro for help, the Dark Virus can only exist for thirty seconds. After it leaves the host, it will dissipate at an incredible speed."

"Then, let me assist you."

Father Ao's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke without hesitation.

"Captain..."

Hikari was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.

Father of Ultra is the captain of the Space Garrison and the leader of the Land of Light…

It would be wonderful if he could assist with experimental research, given his busy schedule.

Currently, aside from that one, Father Ultra is undoubtedly the strongest fighter in the Land of Light, and his light should also be the strongest.

"what happened?"

"We must do everything we can to find a way to combat the Dark Virus."

It seems that O'Neal's father could see through Hikari's inner thoughts.

A calm and steady voice drifted out slowly.

"Yes, Captain."

"Then I'll trouble Captain Zoffy to bring back another monster infected with the Dark Virus. I will use the Captain's power to extract the Dark Virus and try to analyze its origin to find a way to counter it."

Hikari no longer hesitated and told him all about his experimental methods.

"Okay, that's easy."

Zoffy nodded slightly. Capturing monsters might be difficult for other Ultra Warriors, but for Zoffy, the eldest of the Ultra Brothers, it was a piece of cake.

"We should indeed find the weaknesses of the Dark Virus as soon as possible. Some innocent and gentle monsters have been infected by it, and we have no choice but to eliminate them. This is undoubtedly a very painful thing."

"Hikari, please."

Although he never carried out any missions, Taro was quite knowledgeable about the Dark Virus. During Zoffy's absence, he frequently assisted Hikari's research. Monsters infected with the Dark Virus become malevolent and terrifying; even the most friendly monsters will become so.

This is a serious disruption to the cosmic ecosystem. If a cure cannot be found, the entire universe will be engulfed in a chaotic frenzy.

"Don't worry, Taro."

Although Hikari is a researcher, he holds a high position, theoretically equivalent to that of the Ultra Brothers.

Therefore, you can call Taro by his name.

"Then, the captain and I will go first."

Upon hearing this, Ao's father nodded in agreement.

With Zoffy and Taro watching them go, the two Os strode away.

Zoffy watched them leave, then turned to Taro and said, "I'm going to find the monsters infected by the Dark Virus first. Please gather the qualified Ultra Warriors into groups, and then I will work with them to clear out the riotous monsters in the surrounding star fields."

As if sensing Taro's worries, Zoffy lowered his head slightly, then raised it again, his bright eyes fixed on the towering building in the distance, the location where the Ultra Key—the key to the stable Ultra Star—was stored.

"Taro, necessary sacrifices are unavoidable. Even Ultra Warriors have times when they can't do it."

“I understand, Zoffy.”

Taro was somewhat downcast.

He understands this principle.

Yet, a sense of sorrow still arose in my heart.

For the innocent monsters that have been infected, and for their people who are about to go to the battlefield.

Because war is never short of bloodshed and sacrifice.

Chapter 204 Dark Virus: The Second Avatar (Part 2)

...

"Yuan Huixia, you're really good."

Somewhere in the universe, on a life-bearing planet that has been completely turned into a dark virus's backyard.

Under a thick, dark cloud-like blanket of darkness.

On a hillside.

A dark alien with a strange head is uttering words of "praise" in an extremely gloomy tone.

His head looked like a fish head, while his body was somewhat like that of an orc.

This combination is utterly ugly.
