Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

Or perhaps, it was that lively yet gentle girl.

It made him feel the warmth of home, something he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Twenty years.

He hadn't felt this relaxed in twenty years since losing his loved ones.

All the pressure and hatred seemed to vanish in that moment.

However, as he left the village and traveled further and further away...

That feeling of loneliness and depression welled up in my heart again.

Noi understood.

I don't belong here.

A man who once personally commanded monsters to invade the city, a man who personally destroyed a research institute and caused the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.

They don't deserve to live in such a beautiful and hopeful village.

Darkness will always exist in shadow.

Even if we yearn for light, we cannot allow the filth in our bodies and the hatred etched in our blood to pollute this land.

Noi stood in this spot for a long time.

Finally, he turned around and walked away into the distance.

No goals, no direction, no purpose.

He didn't know where he was going.

...

"Only what we have will we cherish; only what we lose will cause us great pain."

"Let's unleash this power to its fullest potential..."

"The so-called light will eventually be extinguished."

In the dense forest, a malicious gaze shifted from Noi back to him.

He then looked up at the sky.

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

They've arrived.

...

"The other party has already left the village. Current coordinates..."

"Whoosh~"

Shenying-1 and Shenying-2 arrived at the E1 area one after another. After hovering at a high altitude for a while, they began to descend slowly.

Compared to the speed of airplanes, the Alfa Romeo 3D tank is just as fast.

It has a top speed of 500 km/h and is equipped with a coasting function, allowing it to travel at high speeds with a ground clearance of about 40 cm.

Moreover, just like its name suggests, the Alfa Romeo is equipped with the most powerful beam currently available on UPIC, the Alfa Cluster Cannon.

In addition, conventional weapons include an automatic beam cannon (at the rear of the vehicle) and a rapid-fire cannon (on the roof of the vehicle).

Including the cluster cannon hidden under the chassis, the firepower of the Alfa-made vehicle is not much weaker than that of the Divine Eagle 1.

However, due to transportation issues and the complex mountain environment, Boden and Muraka arrived about fifteen minutes later than the Divine Eagle fighter jet.

Within this timeframe, the target cannot stray too far unless it transforms.

Only UPIC personnel were directly involved in the arrest. Using information about Noi provided by the defense forces, their location could be pinpointed using high-precision instruments.

Therefore, UPIC team members only need to eliminate the target quickly.

Walking silently through the dense forest, Noi's pace was extremely slow, filled with uncertainty about her future.

Although it's unclear how UPIC will define itself, an arrest warrant is almost inevitable.

Moreover, the hundreds of lives at the Seventh Research Institute were all connected to him, and the alien beasts that appeared later were also under his command. Therefore, entering the city again as Noi would undoubtedly be a suicidal act.

However, Noi did not regret it.

An adult must be responsible for the consequences of their actions, whatever they may have.

He was just a little disappointed; the whole plan had been a complete failure.

Not only did they fail to breach the city, but even their newly bred alien beasts perished.

He was also seriously injured as a result.

The only good news is that he's still alive.

There's still a chance to start over.

This time, the plan needs to be more meticulous.

Noi had an idea in mind.

There is an old Chinese saying: "To catch a thief, first catch the king."

Therefore, if I could infiltrate the UPC and cause a ruckus, I might be able to paralyze the Riben branch. Moreover, the Alpha Type A has been almost repaired over time, which is also a potential breakthrough point.

Of course, Xia Muxiong must be killed.

I may die, but Xia Muxiong must die too.

Noi's eyes flickered; having left the village, he seemed to have returned to his original self.

...

"We are now about 2 kilometers away from our target in the wild."

"Advance towards the target location in small-group combat formation. Do not be careless; we are about to face beings far beyond human capabilities."

Borden, who was temporarily in charge of the ground capture team, spoke to the other dozen or so team members.

Everyone stood at attention, their eyes filled with excitement. This was the first time they had participated in such a high-level capture mission, and they all responded in unison.

"Yes!"

These people are all UPIC reserves, and they would not normally have had the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

The current staffing shortage is still too great.

Looking at the young faces of these prospective members, Borden felt a little dazed, as if he were seeing the scene when he first joined UPIC.

Faced with such an enemy, how many people could possibly return alive...?

Borden turned around, his gaze unwavering.

"Noi..."

...

Faced with the power of the Dark Giant, UPIC alone is clearly struggling.

No one knew why the defense forces were suddenly so lax in their efforts to apprehend Noi, as if Noi's escape had nothing to do with them.

Including Muraka and Boden, there were a total of fifteen people, who were divided into five groups.

Among them, the captain of the reserve personnel was temporarily paired with Muraka and Boden. Considering that Noi might transform into a dark giant at any time, they spared the Alpha special car, which was used as a trump card.

Each three-person team is also equipped with a miniature beam cannon, which is said to be inspired by RPGs.

(It only requires one person to be in a semi-crouching position to successfully release it, and its power is considerable. (It generates a huge impact at the moment of release.)

However, this behemoth is heavier than an RPG, and it only has one shot, so one person needs to carry it lightly.

Although Captain Ihara hoped to ensure Noi's safety as much as possible, this was merely wishful thinking on his part.

To ensure the safety of the team members, equipping them with high-powered weapons is essential.

...

"Whoosh..."

"It's here, but it's taking longer than I expected."

Noi tilted his head slightly, watching the familiar fighter jets sweep across the sky.

A complex expression appeared on his face.

UPIC.

If possible, he would rather face the guns of the defense forces than the rebukes of the UPIC members.

Unfortunately, I'm no longer in control of my own destiny.

Noi slowly closed his eyes, and the dark power began to spread outward from him.

Let it all end.

...

The brief appearance of the Divine Eagle fighter jet over the village aroused the curiosity of the few villagers.

"what is that?"

"It looks like the latest fighter jet?"

The Aoba family.

After discovering that Noi had left without saying goodbye, the kind-hearted Reina wanted to find him. In the girl's opinion, it was impossible for a normal person to recover so quickly from such serious injuries.

Noi-san must have been pushing herself too hard, saying she didn't want to cause trouble for others...

But we've never considered Noi-san a nuisance...

But her father stopped her.

"Since he chose to leave, he must have had his reasons for doing so, Reina. You can't win someone's heart by forcing them."

Aoba, who had stopped her daughter, stood with her hands behind her back, clutching a wanted poster posted at the village entrance.

"Uh, but..."

"Don't worry, that guy is recovering exceptionally well."
