The tangible flames from the entire explosion flowed over his body. Although they didn't cause him any real harm, the burning pain was quite unbearable.
The massive explosion in Pedrogunos was something Minghui hadn't anticipated, and by the time he realized it, the explosion had already spread, leaving him no time to react.
The power of this explosion was beyond Nexus's current ability to withstand; if not handled properly, Nexus could be injured in the blast.
Due to Nexus's unique nature, he has a close connection with the host; if Nexus is injured, Jun Himeya, the host, will also be injured.
The two influence each other; until Jun Himeya recovers from his injuries, Nexus's strength will also be affected. One injury could be the start of a vicious cycle.
This is not the outcome he wanted to see.
Therefore, Minghui decisively abandoned his previous idea of not intervening and chose to transform to help Nexus quell the explosion.
The space in front of them suddenly fluctuated, and a ball of light burst forth from it before falling to the ground.
Seeing Nexus's figure appear in the radiance, Minghui's lips curled up slightly. He did not choose to go forward to meet him, but turned around and flew away into the distance.
Although he had already met Nexus in the guise of an Ultra Warrior, and Minghui was certain that Nexus recognized his identity as an Ultra Warrior, he felt that contacting Nexus now was not a good choice.
He could tell from their last meeting that Jun Himeya didn't really identify with his identity as an Ultraman warrior.
Even if he knew there were other people in the world just like him, he probably wouldn't have many thoughts about it.
In this situation, Minghui will not immediately gain the other party's trust by contacting them.
The world of Nexus has its own unique circumstances, unlike the main world which is much simpler.
At the very least, Brother Zhun won't be as easily fooled as Feng Yuan.
Minghui used his invisibility ability to conceal his figure as he flew through the air, slightly pursing his lips:
"Rushing forward like that, isn't that just being a simp? Everyone knows that simps never end well!"
"Hmph, but it's not a big problem. Now that we've laid the foundation, it won't be long before he comes looking for me!"
"Whoosh~"
Just then, a ripple of air came from beside Minghui, followed by a series of fierce gusts of wind that lashed against his body, making his clothes flutter loudly.
Minghui focused his gaze on the air ahead, and the figures of three fighter jets gradually appeared in his eyes. Through the glass, he could also see the figures of the Night Raid team.
Since Nexus and Pedrongulos entered Meta Realm together, the Night Raid Team has been circling in the airspace around this area.
They only left after confirming that the alien beast's shockwave had completely disappeared.
Watching the three fighter jets disappear into the distance, Minghui paused in mid-air, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself:
"Is there something else you've forgotten?"
............
"Ah, no, don't come any closer!"
"Help! Can anyone hear me?!"
"How...how did I get here? How do I get down?"
In the factory where Pedroungros originally appeared, several panicked voices rang out from the roof of a building.
These are factory workers whom Minghui rescued from Pedrongulos. They had been knocked unconscious by Minghui's power, but have now regained consciousness.
One of the workers was severely traumatized and was no longer fully conscious, shouting and struggling against the air.
The workers who were less agitated were holding him back to prevent him from slipping and falling off the roof.
But their situation wasn't much better; some people stood on the edge of the roof and looked down, the dozens of meters below sending a chill down their spines.
"There isn't even a ladder here, how did we get up here? Wait! How are we going to get down?!"
"These are not the most important things."
The person next to him shook his head and spoke with a slight tremor in his body:
"What I'm most concerned about is whether the monster we saw before is still nearby."
"monster......"
His words caused a slight change in the expressions of those around him, their faces revealing fear:
"I remember now, I was almost eaten by that thing, and then suddenly someone appeared..."
"God, if this is a dream, please let me wake up quickly."
Slightly trembling voices rose up, and panic was brewing on the rooftop.
Just then, a voice rang out above them, causing them to look up.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I almost forgot about you."
Minghui's figure slowly floated down from mid-air. He looked at the few workers staring blankly at him and gave an embarrassed smile.
While lifting a worker who was about to fall off the roof, he pulled out a device that looked like a cell phone from the air.
He then flipped open the lid of the device and rushed towards the group:
"Come on, give me a smile, and I'll wake you up from this nightmare right away."
As soon as he pressed a button on the device, a dazzling light immediately lit up on the device's screen.
When the light faded, several workers lay down on the ground once again.
"Phew, that was close. My career was almost tarnished."
Minghui wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, then controlled several workers to fly up and fall back down with them:
"All done, call it a day!"
Chapter 258 Special Fluctuations within the Sea of Oblivion
"Hey, Komon, I heard you're on a formal mission!"
In the corridor inside the base, Minghui greeted Komon Kazuki, who was approaching from the opposite direction:
"How was your first mission?"
Not far in front of him, Kazuki Komon, dressed in the Night Raid Team's light uniform, was discussing something with Eisuke Wakura beside him.
Upon hearing Minghui's voice, Komon Kazuki turned his head back to the side, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
But this surprise was quickly replaced by a hint of embarrassment. Looking at Minghui who had walked up to him, he raised his hand, scratched his head, and forced a smile:
"It's...not bad, but the enemy was a little unexpected."
He remembered what Shiori Hiraki had told him about how a few bursts of bullets would be enough to take down the alien beast, and he also recalled the enormous size of the alien beast he had seen before.
How many guns can take care of that kind of thing?
That's impossible, okay?
"Hey, those alien beasts are all weird and can look like anything."
Minghui waved his hand and chuckled.
"Hehe, yeah."
Kazuki Komon nodded stiffly in agreement.
"Team Leader Minghui, you were also involved in the alien beast attack a month ago, right? Did you also see that silver giant?"
At that moment, Eisuke Wakura, who was standing next to Kazuki Komon, suddenly interjected and asked Akira a question.
"Oh, was Mr. Minghui there that time too?"
Before Minghui could reply, Komon Kazuki exclaimed in surprise, looking at Minghui with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
“That’s right, I wasn’t in the crowd at the time, so you probably didn’t notice me, Komon.”
Upon hearing this, Minghui smiled. He first answered to Eisuke Wakura, and then turned to explain to Kazuki Komon.
"So, what does Team Leader Minghui think of that silver giant? Do you think he might be an ally?"
When asked again by Eisuke Wakura, he paused slightly and then added:
Please don't misunderstand, this was just a casual chat.
"Well, I don't have much information, so I can't draw any conclusions."
When confronted with Eisuke Kagura's question, Akira first waved his hand and smiled, then changed the subject, saying:
“However, since you told Captain Cang that this is just a casual chat, I can share my personal opinion. Judging from the silver giant’s actions last time, I personally think we should observe it and not rush to classify it as a monster.”
"I see, I understand."
Kazukura Eisuke nodded, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Kazuki Komon nodded vigorously in agreement. In his view, the silver giant he called the Ultra Warrior was definitely not the kind of alien beast that threatened humanity.
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. The specific judgment should be made by professionals like you and those in higher positions."
Minghui wore a faint smile. He shifted his gaze slightly to the side and said:
"What do you think, Vice-Captain Saijo?"
Not far from them, Saijo Nagi walked slowly, clearly listening to their conversation.
Upon hearing Minghui's question, she remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"The decisive judgment still needs to be made by higher levels; we..."
"No, I mean, do you think that silver giant is friend or foe?"
Minghui interrupted Saijo Nagi, looking into the latter's eyes and speaking slowly.
This silence lasted longer; Saijo Nagi's eyes flickered as she fell into deep thought.
Just as Kazuki Komon was about to ask a question, Nagi Saijo finally spoke, saying almost word by word:
"The shockwave of the alien beast was indeed detected on him, but... you're right, judging from his behavior, his stance is questionable."
"Even if he really is a mutant beast, he might be the most unique one among mutant beasts."
Saijo Nagi was conflicted. She harbored a deep hatred for the alien beasts, and it was difficult for her to feel any goodwill towards Nexus, who had been detected with alien beast shockwaves.
But reason told her that since the appearance of this silver giant, using the shockwaves of alien beasts as the standard for judging enemies was probably no longer feasible.
"Ha, so Vice-Captain Saijo's opinion is the same as mine!"
