Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

That energy...

How come there are any here?

Chapter 264 He was a...lone warrior!

"Since that day, the shockwaves from that alien beast and the Ultra Warrior have never appeared again."

In the night raid team's operations room, several team members sat around the command table, chatting idly.

"Could it be that they both perished together?"

Shiori Hiraki rested her chin on her hands and made a casual guess.

Kazuki Komon had been sitting quietly to the side, head down, not participating in their conversation.

But when he heard Shiori Hiraki's words, he suddenly raised his head and said with some emotion:

"No, that can't be!"

"Ultraman warriors will not be defeated!"

Shiori Hiraki was startled by his reaction. She waved her hand somewhat displeased and said:

"Relax, relax, I was just saying it casually, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"I'm...sorry."

Kazuki Komon pursed his lips, his excitement gradually subsiding. He lowered his gaze and said softly:

"But no matter what, Ultraman will definitely be alright."

His voice was deep, and his words seemed to be addressed to everyone, but also to himself.

As Eisuke Wakura observed Kazuki Komon's expression, a slight glint appeared in his eyes.

Since returning from that day, Kazuki Komon has been somewhat depressed, and this depression has continued to this day.

He understood why Komon Kazuki acted this way, but to be honest, he didn't really understand.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Kurahide Eisuke:

"Komon, I know you've always considered Ultra Warriors to be our human allies. So let's talk about what you think of them?"

Saijo Nagi also looked at Komon Kazuki, and by this time she was gradually accepting his opinion.

However, she also wanted to know how Kazuki Komon viewed the Ultra Warriors.

Shiori Hiraki and Mitsuhiko Ishibori were also curious and looked over as well.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Komon Kazuki remained silent for a moment before speaking softly:

"I think he's a... lone warrior?"

"Lonely?"

Kazuki Komon expressed his surprise. He had expected Ikki Komon to use words like "powerful" or "friendly," but he hadn't anticipated this answer.

"Correct."

Komon Kazuki nodded, seemingly lost in thought, and slowly said:

"A lone warrior fighting to the death against alien beasts, without help or understanding."

"The Nameta Domain may indeed be helpful to him, but how can it be said that it is not a prison, locking himself and his opponent in that space, engaging in an unknown death battle?"

“No one knows how much he sacrificed or the effort he put in during this process.”

Komon Kazuki's voice carried a hint of heaviness. He paused slightly, raised his head to meet Wakura Eisuke's gaze, and continued:

"Moreover, after this incident, I am even more certain of the Ultra Warriors' attitude towards us humans."

"Even under those circumstances, he still went to great lengths to send me and the vice-captain out of the Meta Realm. He would never harbor any ill will towards humans!"

Saijo Nagi's gaze held a hint of emotion. She had always viewed the Ultra Warriors from a warrior's perspective and had never realized what Komon Kazuki was saying.

Although Komon Kazuki's words contained his subjective thoughts, upon careful consideration, Saijo Nagi had to admit that there was some truth to his claims.

She also thought of more.

That Ultra Warrior aims to eliminate the alien beasts, and at the same time, he uses a strange ability to cover up the traces of battle.

This behavior is essentially the same as the Night Raid Team's actions.

The others also fell into thought because of Komon Kazuki's words, and the command room fell silent for a moment.

"A very unexpected answer."

Finally, Eisuke Wakura broke the silence, looking at Kazuki Komon with a slight smile:

"However, perhaps in the future, the Ultra Warriors will not be fighting alone."

Upon hearing this, Komon Kazuki's expression shifted, and he asked, "What does this mean?"

"Based on the data you provided, the development department is working hard on research and development. Perhaps it won't be long before we have the ability to directly penetrate Meta's territory."

"I answered by Eisuke Wakura."

"Can we really enter Ultraman's Meta Domain on our own?"

Upon hearing Eisuke Wakura's reply, Kazuki Komon paused in surprise.

"of course can."

Mitsuhiko Ishibori, who was standing nearby, joined the conversation.

The kind-hearted Zaki answers questions and resolves doubts about the uncertain future of Noah:

"The Meta Realm is essentially a discontinuous spacetime barrier generated by phase folds. These folds are very complex, and normally, it is indeed a very difficult thing to break into it."

"However, now that we have the crucial data you brought back, we can make adjustments based on that data, and this matter has a chance of success."

Mitsuhiko Ishibori spoke eloquently, appearing to be a reliable senior member of the team.

"Amazing!"

Kazuki Komon exclaimed in surprise, his eyes clear yet bewildered.

He didn't understand.

It doesn't matter, as long as we know the result.

"But even if we manage to develop it, what then? We don't even know if we'll be able to use it in the future."

Shiori Hiraki slumped onto the table and let out a soft sigh.

The joyful expression on Komon Kazuki's face faded, and he hesitated, wanting to refute.

In fact, he also discovered some other things that day.

After being sent out of the Meta Realm by the Ultra Warriors, Kazuki Komon and Nagi Saijo have been circling around the area, trying to re-enter the Meta Realm.

The result was, of course, less than ideal; their attempt had not succeeded by the time they returned to base.

However, during this process, Kazuki Komon accidentally discovered a spatial rift.

Through that rift, he saw the scene within Meta's domain once again.

However, what he saw was somewhat unexpected.

He saw another figure inside.

A figure, distinct from the alien beasts, resembling an Ultra Warrior.

The crack existed for a very short time; it disappeared before he could examine it closely.

That fleeting image was like a dream, a bubble.

He later questioned Saijo Nagi and Hiraki Shiori, but both said they did not see that scene.

This made Kazuki Komon begin to doubt whether what he was seeing was real.

In the end, he could only suppress his doubts for the time being.

But his intuition told him that it might not be his imagination.

Perhaps... there are other Ultra Warriors!

Beside her, Saijo Nagi lowered her gaze and remained silent.

Based on her assessment of that battle, the suddenly stronger alien beast had surpassed the Ultra Warriors.

Unless that Ultraman can demonstrate even greater strength, it will be difficult to defeat that alien beast.

But Saijo Nagi felt that this was unlikely. If they really had such strength, why didn't they use it earlier? Why wait until such a critical moment?

She was not optimistic about the outcome of the battle.

"It will come in handy!"

Just then, as everyone in the command room was lost in their own thoughts, a voice suddenly rang out from the side.

The group looked in the direction from which the sound came, and then saw a figure slowly emerge in the air.

It was a young man dressed entirely in white, with a faint smile on his face.

"Chief of Staff Kira! Do you know anything, or do you foresee something?"

Upon seeing the young man and recalling his earlier words, Komon Kazuki couldn't help but show a look of delight.

Kira Sawa!

As the operations staff officer of the night raid team, he had more authority than Commander Matsunaga.

But that's not the point. In Kazuki Komon's understanding, the man in front of him possesses extraordinary abilities.

He can foresee the future!

If that's the case, then what he just said means that the Ultra Warriors are alright?

With thoughts racing through his mind, Komon Kazuki looked over expectantly.

But Kira Sawa did not answer his question. He smiled slightly and his figure slowly faded away.

This is not because he has the ability to teleport, it's just a holographic projection.

But this was not what Kazuki Komon cared about; he turned his head blankly, a look of bewilderment on his face.
