I might be a fake Ultraman.

Fortunately, the scanning device developed by Caroline is really useful.

Baili Yuan: Caroline, you are my god!
The scanning device quickly provided the results.

The Super Beast Manufacturing Machine is already more than 80% damaged.

Most of the functions are no longer usable.

However, the scanning device recorded the internal structure, and if given to Caroline, it is highly likely that it can replicate 70-80% of the original energy efficiency.

However, Caroline's technology can replicate the first three of the four functions of the Super Beast Manufacturing Machine.

Those technologies mainly originated from the resources of the aliens that Baili Yuan wiped out, or the technological remnants from the monsters he destroyed.

It must be said that the aliens' research techniques for monsters are largely similar, only differing in the energy and methods they use.

It can't be said that great minds think alike; it's more like the evil aliens finding a kindred spirit in their lowly, polluted waters.

Within her home space, Caroline also created a ranch for raising monsters, where she could use the technology to modify them at any time.

However, Caroline's research on monsters was not simply about crude weapon modification, but rather about pursuing the evolution of the monsters' own genes.

Some monsters have even greater potential for evolution than Pokémon.

For example, Caroline has now mastered the technique of training EX Gomora, EX Red King, and EX Eleking.

It's not the kind of training that involves technology and grueling training, but rather an evolution that acquires corresponding power through normal evolution!

It even fostered an ethnic group.

A monster army capable of summoning an EX monster at any time.

These EX-class monsters, which evolve through normal means, may have some differences in abilities compared to their counterparts that were forcibly evolved in history, but their combat power is not diminished at all; on the contrary, they possess their own advantages.

That means they are more stable, without the tyranny that comes with forced evolution, and are more likely to obey commands.

These powerful EX-level monsters naturally could no longer remain in the home space.

As a result, the Misaka Sisters were also equipped with EX Monster Capsules.

Lucia also has a complete set of monster capsules.

Caroline is currently attempting to breed an EX Zetton. Breeding an EX Zetton is significantly more difficult than breeding other EX-rank monsters, and success seems a long way off.

Closer to home.

Although most of the functions of the Super Beast Generator have failed, it has retained one important function—condensing extradimensional energy!

Extradimensional energy can not only serve as the energy source for the Super Beasts' operations, but it can also directly affect ordinary living beings.

Baili Yuan was aware of this.

Because in the evolutionary routes of EX Gomora, EX Red King, and EX Eleking, there are cases where they were forcibly evolved due to the influence of extradimensional energy.

This kind of evolution often makes monsters even more ferocious, as brutal as super beasts.

Both the octopus monster and the crab monster may have been influenced by extradimensional energy.

Our understanding and knowledge of extradimensional space is still relatively limited, and we don't have much research on extradimensional energy either.

This ability to gather energy from other dimensions was an unexpected bonus for Baili Yuan, enriching his technological reserves.

"Caroline will be very happy with this gift."

Baili Yuan said with a smile.

He also realized that there may still be many "treasures" left behind by other extraterrestrials on Earth today.

The device now stores a portion of extradimensional energy.

Baili Yuan summoned the slug monster Jilianma.

Then, they attempted to inject the extradimensional energy from the device into Jirenma's body.

Jilianma, which had already grown to ten meters in size, suddenly swelled to fifty meters, its skin becoming even darker and its aura even more violent. It even gave the impression of wanting to devour its master!
Jirenma: I have evolved! Who dares to control me? Who can control me?

Then Sai Gang went up and used two powerful attacks, which made Jilianma's violent eyes become clear again.

Baili Yuan retrieved the evolved Jilianma into the Transcendent Battle Device.

……

"Will-o'-the-wisp?"

After a period of peaceful days, one night after Kotaro went out on patrol, he returned and told everyone that he had seen red will-o'-the-wisps by the pond.

This caught Baili Yuan's attention.

"I told everyone on the Seth team, but they didn't believe me," Higashi Kotaro said with a hint of helplessness.

As a science-based team, the Seth team has never believed in ghosts or monsters.

Moreover, will-o'-the-wisps have been scientifically proven to be the spontaneous combustion phenomenon of phosphine.

The principle is that phosphorus in the bones of carcasses in the wild transforms into phosphine and diphosphine after the body decomposes. Diphosphine spontaneously combusts at room temperature, igniting phosphine to produce a blue-green flame. This, along with the blue flame produced by the combustion of methane underground, often results in a mixture of these two colors, creating a composite flame.

The color of flames is affected by trace elements, and is commonly green, blue, or red. If there is a special color, it indicates that the content of certain trace elements in the remains is particularly high.

The area where Higashi Kotaro saw the will-o'-the-wisp was a pond, with a swamp nearby, which is also an environment where will-o'-the-wisp incidents are common.

Swamps are never short of methane and animal carcasses.

Baili Yuan's interest in will-o'-the-wisps wasn't due to curiosity, but rather because the strange events encountered by human hosts on the Ultraman set were rarely simple.

Shiratori Saori simply laughed off Higashi Kotaro's statement.

Kenichi Shiratori was quite interested and even wanted to go to the site to see for himself.

Baili Yuan said, "The will-o'-the-wisp is not important. What is important is whether there will be any unusual events and whether they will threaten the safety of nearby residents."

"Why don't we investigate whether there are any unusual events in that area, such as missing persons, unusual diseases, or paranormal legends?"

"How can someone who's just passing through know more about the local situation than someone who lives nearby?"

Bai Liyuan's reminder gave Dong Guangtaro an idea.

Kotaro Higashi also wanted to confirm that he hadn't misread it.

"Yeah! I'll go ask the locals. If there really are will-o'-the-wisps, I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw them!"

But Kotaro Higashi did not take any sudden action.

Instead, he suddenly turned to look at Baili Yuan, staring at him with suspicion and asked.

"I've wanted to ask this for a while..."

"When facing these special events."

"Why are you so skilled at this?"

Are you really an ordinary child?

In that instant, Baili Yuan felt that he was being watched by Dong Guangtaro, just like when Yagami Light heard someone next to him say, "I am L."

Baili Yuan said calmly, "Read more books."

"Ahahaha, I see." Higashi Kotaro scratched his head; he had just asked casually.

Baili Yuan felt helpless.

Then, Kotaro Higashi went to investigate.

Baili Yuan then picked up his fishing rod and went out; he planned to go fishing. (End of Chapter)
