Ultraman: He captures EyeQ at the start, a righteous and fun-loving man.

"I am back."

However, the expected "Welcome back" did not come, and he called out again in surprise.

"Is the child's mother there?"

There was still no response, he muttered to himself.

"Could they have gone out? But the lights are still on..."

He continued walking inside and finally saw his wife and son.

Seeing his wife and child squatting next to the rice cooker, the office worker breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the table.

"Chinatsu, Matsuta, why aren't you answering me? By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

The woman and child were squatting next to the rice cooker, holding something in their hands that was making a creaking sound.

"What...are you eating? It sounds like you're sawing wood!"

The office worker decided to go and investigate, only to find himself stepping on piles of sawdust.

"Eh?"

He looked down, and when he turned back, his wife's face was suddenly right in front of him.

His face was covered with ulcerated blood vessels that oozed an unknown, foul-smelling pus, and dense, fleshy protrusions.

It was still chewing on wood, with two huge, rat-like front teeth hanging from its mouth. The only thing that still resembled a human was its eyes, which were bloodshot and had turned red.

The middle-aged man, who used to be an otaku but has now evolved into an office worker, did not show the same enthusiasm he had as a boy for the black-haired, red-eyed woman. Instead, he screamed and sat down on the ground, backing away.

"Aaaaaaah! Chika, you...you...you..."

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his right leg, causing him to scream in agony.

Looking over there, he saw that his son's face was exactly the same, and his left hand had turned into a flesh and blood hammer, smashing it hard against his father's leg again and again.

"Daddy, come play with me and Mommy..."

The words he had heard countless times before now seemed terrifying. Looking at the "innocent" smile distorted on that face, the office worker's mind went blank amidst the excruciating pain.

"Is this... a nightmare...?"

His "wife" came closer, and a flesh-and-blood scythe had replaced her right hand.

With the sweet smiles they had when they first met, the sickle swung down heavily.

"Welcome back, dear."

A head flew into the sky, filled with fear and resentment, and was devoured by the mother and son.

Chapter 162 The Weakening Barrier

Stomping on the rat's head under her foot, Bai Yue frowned and looked at the bright red room, saying in a low voice.

"What's going on? They've actually appeared in the city. What are these visitors doing?"

With a slight flicker, Bai Yue continued on to the next location to eliminate the ratmen.

Mitsuhiko Ishiguro felt the glow of his journey and revealed a smug smile.

"The barrier to visitors... has been declining much faster than expected."

Ever since he opened a hole in the barrier, the barrier that has been protecting human cities has been weakening every moment.

Or perhaps it had been weakening all along, but now the process has accelerated.

In fact, this was somewhat unexpected for him, since he had assumed that the visitor could hold on for a few more months.

Five years have passed. Visitors can protect humanity for a time, but not forever. In addition, the large-scale fear-creating by Galuberos Vish last time has added a lot of work to the memory police.

The darkness within the already overburdened River of Oblivion has expanded further, and even occasional instances of memory reversion have begun to occur.

However, Zaki doesn't need to worry about the River of Oblivion bursting, because the speed at which that light is growing is also beyond his expectations. Now, he wants the darkness within the River of Oblivion to grow even faster.

Everything indicated that his resurrection was imminent; now, all he had to do was wait for that ray of light to reach that person.

We can't rush things. The light hasn't fully evolved yet. At this rate, there's still one more person...

Under Zaki's orders, large numbers of Northfil's offspring ravaged the world, some even breaching barriers and entering cities.

The Night Raid Team was also busy running around that night. There were branches in other regions, but in Japan alone, a large number of alien beast offspring appeared.

Unlike previous Pedron expeditions, they even discovered the presence of alien beast vibration waves within the city.

At Jun Himeya's house, Shirazuki and Rei Senju are discussing their next plan.

Bai Yue said solemnly.

"This event has affected the entire planet. It can be said that areas outside the cities have suffered varying degrees of damage, and some rural areas far from the cities have even been wiped out."

Himeya Jun clenched his fists tightly and said.

"This time, even alien beasts have appeared in the city. It seems that Zaki was fed well last time."

Qian Shulian had already learned the whole story from Bai Yue and said with reluctance.

“Many people work in the city, but their families live in the countryside. Zaki is really despicable.”

Bai Yue tapped the table and said.

"The other party is not a plant monster, but it has such strong splitting and regeneration abilities. The fused alien beast should be Nosfil. If we take it out alone, as long as the regeneration organ in its mouth is not destroyed, it can resurrect indefinitely."

Bai Yue struck the classic hand gesture of Commander Ikari and said in a deep voice.

"But the number of these sub-bodies is very strange, it could even be described as thousands. Clearly, the other party has also fused with an extremely powerful regenerative monster. Who is it?"

Jun Himeya also raised a key question.

"The other side created such a large area of ​​disaster to gather more fear. Could it be that they want to create an even stronger alien beast?"

Bai Yue thought for a moment and then said.

"The other party probably wants to create a monster that can hold me back. It doesn't need to hold me back for long. As long as it can force the light of Nexus to continue, it only needs to hold me back for a few minutes."

A smile appeared on Bai Yue's lips.

"However, they seem to have underestimated my monster army. This is also an opportunity. If we can catch them by the tail, we might be able to end this sooner."

Qian Shulian sighed and leaned back in her chair.

"I wish no one would ever get hurt by alien beasts again. This feeling of helplessness is really unpleasant. In the comics, I see that many heroes who save the world can save everyone."

Bai Yue comforted him.

"Do your best to save those you can, and don't put too much burden on yourself."

"Moreover, these people didn't die because of us. On the contrary, it was our existence that made the other side hesitant to act, thus protecting more people."

He said it half-jokingly.

"And those heroes who saved the world didn't save everyone; it's just that the writers didn't depict it in the stories."

Qian Shulian didn't understand Bai Yue's implied meaning; she simply nodded, her face brightening again.

"Alright, for you two who have been working all night, I specially baked some bear-shaped cookies for you."

..............................

Mitsuhiko Ishiguro held a dark red ball of light in his hand, from which came mournful howls.

He seemed to hear some music and closed his eyes comfortably.

After a while, he looked at the nautilus beside him and smiled slightly.

"I hope Lugiel can give me some surprises."

"It seems you have high expectations of me."

Before the words were finished, Dark Lugiel's voice came, and he walked out from a dark time tunnel, holding a doll that looked like a big crab in his hand.

"We've got the last piece of the puzzle for that monster. Now we can get started on the plan."

Mitsuhiko Ishiguro looked at the crab doll that had fallen into the pile of dolls and said with a hint of regret.

"It's a pity that Megaflash's light barrier doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, otherwise we could have used this fusion beast to fight Regart."

Then, he said resentfully.

"If my strength hadn't been incomplete, how could I have been restricted by the alien beasts under my command!"

Lugiel said calmly.

"Don't overthink it. Even without light, Regard is strong enough to beat this monster to death with his bare fists. You'll be the first one to die."

"Even without our light, we wouldn't be a match for it. After all, even with our current power, the light we emit would be greatly weakened within the barrier of this fusion beast."

Dark Zagi scoffed, but Lugiel ignored him and plunged the Dark Spark into the doll's foot.

"Darkness materializes! Golza!"

"Melba!"

"Rechubas!"

"Eye Q!"

"Super Gobu!"

He threw five black orbs of light into the nautilus shell beside him, and Zagi poured the fear in his hand along with the alien beast factor into it.

"Super Combination! Megafrash Skit!"

In the darkness, the nautilus's body began to swell continuously, emitting terrifying roars.

Mitsuhiko Ishihori said with a cold laugh.

"The fusion of six monsters, combined with the fear collected during this period, will increase the barrier to light and the ability to absorb light several times over. Using this fused monster to hold off Regard will not be a problem."

Dark Lugiel nodded.

"Once this fusion beast adapts to the body, it should be about time... um?"

Mitsuhiko Ishiguro and Dark Lugiel both looked up at the same time, while the white moon in the city also sensed something.

"what is that?"
