A few seconds later.
"Aaaaaaaahh ...
A purple light and a pitiful scream erupted from the shadows.
Jugglus slowly emerged from the shadows at the alley entrance, elegantly adjusted his collar, and stepped into the neon-lit street.
"Kai...you bastard, I even have to clean up the battlefield for you."
"I'll help you this last time."
Jugglus looked up at the dark night sky, recalled his earlier words, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"All the hunters?"
He sheathed the Serpent Heart Sword.
"I didn't receive this invitation..."
Chapter 157 The Guardian of the Prey
"Brother Seven!! I knew it was you!!"
In the presidential suite in Harajuku, the moment Mirai, who had just finished working at the coffee shop, saw the familiar figure in the room, all her restraint vanished.
He rushed forward and hugged Dan Moroboshi tightly, like a lost child who had finally found his elder.
"Mebius... I'm relieved that you're all safe and sound."
Dan Moroboshi reached out and gently patted Mirai's back, his eyes filled with indescribable tenderness.
Seeing that the reunion scene, which had failed twice before, had finally been successfully staged, Hong Kai, who was leaning against the sofa, couldn't help but chuckle.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is probably the most wonderful thing in the world.
But then he thought about it again, and realized that his "old friend" was also haunting the city, so the corners of his mouth that had just turned up turned down in frustration, and he felt a bit of a headache.
"Brother Seven, how did you come to this universe? Were you also accidentally sucked in by that spacetime turbulence?"
After calming herself down, Wei Lai raised her head and asked.
"No, it's not."
Dan Moroboshi shook his head, his gaze sweeping over Mirai and Kai Kurenai.
"I deliberately traversed the spacetime turbulence and forcibly arrived here."
"Huh?"
Hong Kai and Wei Lai were both stunned.
"This world is too dangerous."
Dan Moroboshi's expression turned serious as he looked at Mirai Hibino.
"Mebius, like Zero, you have lost the ability to transform in this world and can only use a small amount of energy."
His gaze then turned to Hong Kai.
"Orb, although you can transform now, you've only barely recovered some of your energy."
Hong Kai paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.
As expected of a veteran of the Land of Light, he saw right through his current state with just a glance.
Dan Moroboshi walked to the window and slowly began to speak:
"Now it's not just here, the order of the entire universe is starting to go out of control. Dead lives are being forcibly brought back to life, and the rifts in time are being broken."
"If we don't intervene, you will encounter increasingly powerful enemies in the future."
"But you... are not fully prepared yet."
"Brother Seven..."
He murmured softly, a hint of self-reproach flashing in his eyes.
Hearing this, Hong Kai felt uneasy.
Indeed, his current strength is far inferior to that of his peak period.
The whereabouts of Orb Calibur are unknown, and even its basic form is missing cards from its predecessors Taro and Jack.
"If only I could find Taro-senpai's card..."
Hong Kai let out a long sigh of relief.
"This planet is rejecting us, or rather, the scourge that caused all this is rejecting us, these foreign lights."
Dan Moroboshi suddenly turned around and looked intently at Kai Kurenai.
"But Duan Zilian is different. He is a light that belongs only to this place. Given time, he will be stronger than any of us."
"Therefore, Orb, as the only mature warrior who can still transform, you should shoulder the responsibility of guiding and protecting him."
“But you’re too lax right now. This level of power is simply not enough to protect that child until he awakens.”
Upon hearing his senior's reprimand, Hong Kai immediately sat up straight and nodded.
"I understand, senior. I will train that kid even harder."
"No, I mean..."
Dan Moroboshi looked at him, a chilling smile playing on his lips.
"Tonight, I will personally give you special training."
"...Huh? Special training?"
Hong Kai was stunned; a sense of foreboding rushed to the top of his head.
……
One hour later.
"Orb! Don't run! Come at the van!"
"Don't dodge! With your current physical condition, you should be able to withstand this attack! This is the best training method to bring out your potential!"
The engine's frantic roar echoed through the empty streets.
Dan Moroboshi sat in the dilapidated van, pressing the accelerator furiously.
The van was like a raging beast, relentlessly chasing after Hong Kai.
"No, no, no, no, Seven-senpai! This is definitely not a good method! There must be a better training method!!!"
Hong Kai took two long strides and ran frantically for his life, his face contorted with rage.
In the safe zone by the roadside, Hibino Mirai rested her chin on her hand, looking with sympathy at her senior who was being chased by a car and crawling all over the ground.
"Really..."
Future shook his head with a wry smile.
"It was clearly Kaisan who kept clamoring to use this method to train Duan Jun, but I didn't expect him to experience it first."
"Is this what people often refer to as... karma coming full circle?"
……
On the other side, below Kabukicho.
"Identifying... beep, hello, Mr. Duanzi Lian."
With a mechanical sound, the iron door of the underground tavern slowly opened inward.
"Wow? When did they install this high-tech gadget here?"
Duan Zilian looked at the miniature camera flashing red on the door frame with some surprise.
Without giving it much thought, he put his hands in his pockets and stepped into the tavern.
"Hey! The savior has arrived!"
"Ultraman Tiga! You did a really good job in Kanagawa this afternoon."
"I knew it! You've really made us proud!"
As soon as you enter, the tavern, which was originally a bit dull, instantly becomes lively.
Several aliens who were drinking raised their glasses and cheered for Duan Zilian.
"Hi everyone, good evening, I'm here to see you all."
Duan Zilian smiled and waved to them, then walked to the bar and sat down with practiced ease.
"Good evening, Manager Nacker."
"You're here! What would you like to drink today?"
The Nackle alien put down the cup-wiping cloth in his hand, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Anything is fine, store manager, you can choose the one you're best at mixing. I'm a bit tired today."
Just as Duan Zilian finished speaking, the two little ones wobbled over from the side.
The Metaron alien grabbed Duan Zilian's arm, his eyes sparkling.
"Tiga! You fought so coolly this afternoon! That was Bellowon, and you actually managed to beat it to a pulp!"
"Pigu! Pigu!"
Pigumon was also jumping around excitedly nearby.
"No, no, don't praise me to the skies."
Duan Zilian smiled and ruffled the heads of the two little ones.
"In the end, it was thanks to the help of TPC planes that I was able to provide cover; otherwise, it would have been incredibly difficult for me to manage on my own."
As he spoke, he glanced around at the familiar figures in the tavern.
Babar and Balgi were bragging in the corner, while Magma was polishing his sword.
Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Duan Zilian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm relieved to see that everyone is alright."
Suddenly, his gaze fell on an empty chair in the corner. His relaxed smile gradually faded, and he felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
"It's just..."
Seeing the direction of his gaze, the few aliens who had been so enthusiastic just moments before deflated and lowered their heads.
“Shaprey, he…”
The Magma alien clenched his wine glass tightly.
“Those damned hunters are so despicable, daring to commit murder in broad daylight on the street!! Shapley tried so hard to survive in human society…”
Duan Zilian took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.
He recalled the scene he had witnessed on the street that morning, and also the words Daigo had spoken to him via LINE that afternoon.
"He was shot and died on the street while trying to save his human colleagues."
In this brutal and bloody war, innocent people always die.
At that moment, Duan Zilian suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, where's Mr. Miyamoto? Why isn't he standing guard by the door today?"
He looked at the Nackle aliens.
"Him..."
The Nackle alien placed a prepared drink next to Duan Zilian and sighed softly.
"He feels a bit guilty now, thinking that the tragedy was caused by his failure to detect the hunter's movements in advance."
"So from the time it gets dark, he has been secretly patrolling the streets of Kabukicho."
"Alone outside? Isn't it dangerous? The hunter might still be nearby."
Duan Zilian was somewhat worried.
